Description: Once more Hinata and Brett beat each other senseless for charity, this time they do it at the Dream Amusement Park in Southtown, and Hinata has a lucky day with more than just the carnival games as Brett's luck turns.
More charity! This time a bit more...significant than the fundraiser held at Taiyo a week or so back. Mostly because of the scope and the financial backing behind this charity event. It's a good excuse, too, to hold something here along the recently reopened Dream Amusement Park, too! With the screams of those enjoying the roller coasters, and brightly painted mascots and such.
The significant sound of an armband being snapped for the sake of the RSCP match to happen joins them, if not quite so loud. Thankfully, the crowd surrounding a cordoned off area near the ticket booths more than makes up for it, as does the camera crew here to cover the match.
And as for one of those involved in the fight, he's...um...he's busy perusing a map of the park as he idly starts to tighten his helmet. "Mnhh..gift shop is here....ferris wheel is over there....where are the bathrooms, though? They should be listed!" he complains, sighing as he sits down on a makeshift 'stool'. "Oh well...I guess I'll have to find it later..."
Brett's opponent in this fight should bring back memories of the last fight as well, as once again he's lined up to fight against Hinata Wakaba! This time without a home field advantage, although it didn't do a great job of helping her out the last time they faced down.
But... just where is she? The young, energetic fighter has been here all day, but she's nowhere to be seen near the makeshift ring. No, she's been busy running around the themepark all day enjoying herself; riding rides and enjoying all the flavors of different unhealthy foods there are to offer as well as doing a good job at taking various games for all that they're worth.
That's probably why what starts to move into the ring isn't so much Hinata as a giant teddy bear dressed up like Ken Masters and a collection of other prizes out of which Hinata finally emerges as they're lowered down into her corner. As she can finally see just where she is, she offers a great big smile to Brett and a big friendly wave, "Hey, Brett! I hope we have a good fight today." With that she goes about making sure she's ready for a fight, adjusting her uniform and the blue armband before making sure to tie her shoes (a bit on the loose side). She doesn't want a replay of the last fight's mistake.
Brett stuffs the map into his bag, shoving it aside and turning his stick idly on its butt end. However, as he sees the batch of prizes hovering their way int othe ring, and the familiar voice behind them, he grins, waving back to Hinata as he stands up. "Hey, Hinata! Hey, do you know where the ba....er...on second though, I'll ask you afterwards," he says, finding that asking such a thing that loud might be a tad embarrassing, Shaking his head, he turns his stick back upright.
Once he's sure he's got everything cinched in (pads, helmet, gloves, skates), he gives a nod toward HInata's way. "Ready when you are!" he calls enthusiastically, before he sinks down into his usual stance. Taking a deep breath...he finally gives that stick it's usual crack on the ground, putting on his game face. Time to do this again.

As Hinata rises back up off the ground, she leans over to readjust the prizes, settling them into place where they're likely to stay out of the fight (after all, for some reason people seem to not care too much about what happens to things like that when they're near the ring). The unfinished question gets a bit of a confused look from the Taiyo girl, but since Brett's prepared to fight, it doesn't last long.
"I'm plenty ready for a showdown!" She calls back and moves toward the center of the ring, drawing herself right into that super bouncy fighting stance of her's as she eyes Brett. It's only a quick process as she gauges her plan of attack before she whips herself into the air, swings her leg around in a whirlwind kick absolutely nowhere near the hockey player and... he shoe goes flying straight for his face.
Wait, why did she even bother tying it?

Well...that's not exactly what he was expecting when the whirlwind kick came. But as committed to a full-on skate charge toward Hinata, he really had no choice but to take the shoe to the face. It hurts, especially as it hits him toe first straight in the nose...but it's light enough in weight that he can still keep going. "Ufff..."
He doesn't even have time to shake his head from that shot, simply going forward harder to make up for it as he comes in close and then...drops, trying to trip Hinata up with all that momentum put into a quick slide tackle. As if he's switched up his sports a little.

As Hinata comes back down, it's pretty clear she wasn't expecting for him to have just kept plowing through it; the grin on her face disappears for a second as it's replaced by surprise when he's sliding right in at her. She ends up taking the hit full on to the legs and tumbling over top of the fighter instead of just leaping right over top of him as she'd planned.
"Oo... that was a good one," comes her response as she manages to get her footing back after a quick roll to keep from landing flat on her face. She whips her foot down to the side and back into her shoe (as she luckily comes right back next to it) before she goes plowing forward to try to catch the American fighter before he can get back to his feet aiming to plant her hands right on his shoulders, launch herself up on him and then use her feet to slam his face into the ground as she goes flying away over top of him.

He's forced to push himself up by his stick, but Brett seems fairly pleased with himself about that attack...or not, it's hard to tell as stonic as his face seems to stay as he get back up to his skates. Settling down, he gets ready to move in again...
Before he suddenly finds her leaping over him and suddenly kicking him in the back. With all the speed he was building, it makes the faceplant he makes all the more epic. Rolling over in a rather painful looking way, he finally comes to rest on his back. It's a miracle he didn't yardsale completely after taht. "Ughhnnn..." Shaking his head with a groan, he manages to pull himself back up to a knee...and from there, he doesn't even bother with the pretense of a charge, stick slicing upward into the air and sending out that familiar rising crest of blue energy toward Hinata.

With all the movement going on, Hinata ends up coming down not on the ground, but instead finds herself landing right on top of one of the barriers marking the edge of the ring, balancing a bit awkwardly as she whips one leg around to face her opponent and...
Oh, wow. That was a rough faceplant, wasn't it?
"Are you alright?" comes her question as he's getting up to his feet, not entirely prepared for him as he draws back his stick and sends that burst of energy flying right at her. Her concern for a fellow fighter and her position on the narrow barrier doesn't give her much room to move, so she's forced to lean forward and draw up her arms in a cross-shaped block in front of her to keep from being knocked flat on her backside.
"WHOA! I'll take that as a yes." Well, she doesn't have to worry about him after that, so in a quick motion she kicks up off the barrier and straight toward the hockey player with a mid-air flip that keeps her legs high up as she draws back her hand in a fist, swinging it forward to pound right for the top of his head as she passes over, trying to use him as a base for a handstand push to get back to the center of the ring.

Well, the attempt to buy time by whipping out the Shark Crest while Hinata was further away worked for Brett, rubbing his nose as he finally manages to get up to his feet from that annoying faceplant. With his body set again, he settles in, and takes the waiting game approach this time as Hinata leaps up and comes straight for him.
That proves to be....not so effective. His plan to intercept her out of the air with an elbow swing comes up too low to reach her, and the shot straight into the top of his helmeted head is enough to jar him straight down his spine. Not so much head trauma, but his neck finds itself kinked as Brett suddenly finds himself rolling off balance. "Gaahh..."
Well now, with Brett coming up short, Hinata has the perfect opportunity to get back on her feet, landing just a few feet away from him and in a flash she's right back into that bouncy stance of her's with that great big smile on her face. "You got close, but you didn't quite have me there!" she calls out toward the hockey player, "Maybe your luck will get a bit better soon."
And with that, she's rushing in at him again, clearing the distance between them in an instance and then using her own speed to help the inertia as she whips her leg around at a lighting pace in a quick whirlwind motion, back and around before extending full to plant her foot, hopefully, right into Brett's chest.

It's obvious that Brett's been set quite a way's back after that shot, off the game that managed to bring him a win over Hinata before. "Ughnnn...." Turning around, trying to get himself solid again, he finds himself set upon by Hinata's swiftness again, forced to bring his hands up and block the lightning roundhouse with his gloved hands. "Tttchhh..."
Gritting his teeth, he turns his feet aside, trying to gain traction along with the block to avoid being pushed back too far. He manages to succeed in the most part, but leaning forward as is, he finds himself stumbling a little more to force himself forward again, leaning in a little far as he dives toward Hinata and tries to level her with a high cross check with his stick.

That stick is coming in fast. Really fast. For a brief moment Hinata's face shows a look of concern before her brow furrows with concentration and great big excited grin crosses her lips. In a moment of sudden speed, she darts down, practically flowing under Brett's stick, so close she can almost feel it brush across her nose, but she comes right out on the other side, right behind Brett and gives a kick of her heel to give herself even more room after that.
"Wow, that was a close one, wasn't it?!"If nothing else, she's certainly enjoying herself. Fights are an exhilirating thing for her, even when she's losing. Of course, that's not even close to the case at the moment as she draws back her hands, forming a spark of chi between them and then thrusting them forward as it starts to grow, being flung straight toward Brett as it starts to blossom out into a brilliant sunflower made entirely out of energy. And potentially pain.

Close, but no cigar. That's what the saying goes, right? And that came from...well, what do you know, carnival and amusement park midways, didn't they? In any case...
Brett finds himself critically outspeeded at this point, and it seems he's getting frustrated, stumbling a little as he overcommitts to his cross check on Hinata. Leaning forward and catching himself on his hands, he pushes off and forces himself around, watching a bright sunflower-shaped chi ball flying straight toward him. His usual game-face gives way to an expression of 'Oh Crap', a hasty attempt to throw his stick straight through the blast in hopes of stopping it. However, he doesn't even get the throw off, blasted straight in the chest and sent flying back by the Kikou Shoutei into the barricades, upon which he starts to slump.
It's really not looking good for him at this point, is it?
What? He's just going to throw away his weapon? Isn't that a terrible plan when... you kinda use your weapon to fight?
Apparently it is, considering just how much of a spill Brett ends up taking.
"Wow... that one had to hurt." Even with a comment like that, Hinata doesn't really look like she's about to slow down too much, and there's still a smile on her face. "But you can't just stay there on the ground like that!" As Hinata says that, she moves forward over to Brett to grab hold of him by the shoulders and haul him right back up to his feet.
Isn't that nice?
...Well, it certainly is until she moves to spin him around and throw her arms around his waist, which might be a nice hug if right after that she didn't start trying to haul him up off his feet and slam his head into the ground in a quick suplex.

Well, it's not as if Brett's fighting style NEEDS a hockey stick. Though it does help a good long bit. And it's not like he couldn't pick it back up....well....not that it matters in the end, since Brett never gets the stick into the air. Groaning, trying to pull himself up on the barricade, he scowls a little in frustration.
The help from Hinata seems to be much needed....until he's spun around and suplexed back straight into the center of the makeshift ring, a crunch of plastic as his helmeted head cracks onto the ground, the rest of his body weight painfully following as the poor boy ends up groaning, face down on the ground.
Huh... this fight seems to be getting pretty one-sided.
Hinata's brow furrows into a frown as Brett doesn't get up yet again, taking a quick step back and actually stopping that bouncy stance of her's to lean in close to try to look Brett in the face. "Are you alright? Do we need to stop the fight now or something?" There's a tone of genuine concern in her voice as she waits for some sort of response from the battered hockey player.

Brett huffs, grunting painedly as he pushes off the ground with his hands. Slowly, but surely, he manages to push himself up enough to finally get into a lazy crouch, trying to get air back into his lungs. "No...no...keep going," he insists rather sharply, trying to push back and get his skates under him once more (as well as roll away to get some distance again).

When Hinata's opponent gets back up to her feet, a great big smile comes across her face. After all, fights aren't fun if things go bad or they're over too quick.
With things ready to go again, the sunshine girl gives Brett a quick nod of her head and starts to charge across the open area right toward him, leaning in lower as she gets closer and drawing back her arm before... blasting up in a move that's sure to be familiar for the hockey player as her fist explodes with firey chi and she goes flying up into a spiralling uppercut aimed right for his chin, "SHOUYOUKEN!"

Hinata 1/-------/=======|====---\-------\0 Brett
Brett knows he's probably dead to rights...but he's refusing to give up on this fight, when he hasn't given his all, and he's barely made a dent into Hinata. The fact that he's been battered around like this shows that he hasn't been trying enough, simply put. At least, that's the thought process that goes through Brett's head.
So when Hinata gives him the nod, and he nods back to show he's ready, things get...well, they get hot again. When HInata charges in and explodes upward with that hard spiraling uppercut, Brett...takes it right on the chin. That seems like it could be it...until the winger rebrounds, rebounding from his reel back and flipping over to try and slam his skate straight into her shoulder in a move that should be familiar to her as well.

Whoa, it looks like it's comeback time! Something like this just gets Hinata going even more, the grin on her face as Brett's heading right for her is just one of the signs that this is really starting to get good for her. What's the fun in a one-sided fight, after all? This time she holds her ground, readying herself for the blow and getting ready to... get sent flying back as it hits and hits good, sending her careening into the barricades pretty hard.
"...Ow." That's really all she can offer as she tries to push back up to her feet, groaning a bit. She clearly wasn't expecting something to hit THAT hard on her. "That was a good one!" she cries out, "But let's see what you think of this..."
Her feet start kicking her forward as fast as she can possibly manage, flying straight toward Brett with a mile-wide grin on her face and then suddenly lashing out with her fists as soon as she's in reach. The punches are so fast that it looks almost like she's got six or seven arms at once, each punch ending with a quick explosion of brilliant chi before she stoops down low and then whips back up for one more uppercut, hand still burning with chi, and aimed to take him straight in the gut this time.

Unfortunately, it looks like that might be the last shot that Brett gets in. SUre, he manages to get that driving heel drop into Hinata and send her careening. But it's obvious he's still not all there, from the way he nearly stumbles upon landing from the Falling Star. And that's more than enough room for Hinata to charge in and batter him with the super-fast barrage of punches that rattle him, nearly knocking the helmet straight off his head and sending him reeling on his skates. The explosion that finishes the thing sends him straight into the barricade and....
What's this? Just like a pro wrestler, he rebounds like they were ropes, and charges straight into Hinata, slashing and striking with relentless fury as his stick glows a cool blue. But...it becomes more than apparent that it's a last gasp, as regardless of if and how he hits, he'll keep careening forward before the final crash into the barricade that leaves him out cold.

It's all over? That's no fun at all. There's supposed to be more fight out of someone in a situation like that and...
Oh yeah, here it comes!
Hinata's face is practically glowing with the smile spread on it a s Brett comes charging in at her, settling herself into her bouncy stance and just standing there, waiting for him to get closer, and closer, and closer until... at the very last moment she throws a sudden burst of speed, blasting off to the side once the hockey player has no chance of changing his aim and getting fully clear of all of his last ditch attack and give her a new angle from which to watch him crash against the barrier.
Then it's a wait... just a few seconds to see if he's getting back up again, but Brett's out for the count and the fight's over, which just leaves her to dart on over to her opponent and slip one arm around him to help him back up to his feet. This time without slamming his head into the ground. "That was a great fight!"
COMBATSYS: Hinata has ended the fight here.
Unfortunately, Brett seems to be out cold enough that he can't quite concur, body enough dead weight that it might be difficult to completely pull him up. At least he has wheels to help roll him away out to someplace safe to recover, right?
Oh... that's not good. He put up a good fight, and those wheels are nice and helpful, so Hinata just takes the KOed hockey player and rolls him on over toward her corner and lowers him down onto the nice soft cushion of the oversized Ken teddy bear, setting a few of her other prizes around him to help keep him propped up and, hopefully, comfortable.
