Description: Following Juni's defeat at the hands of Yurika Kirishima, Shadaloo's Zero Doll seeks understanding into the circumstances leading to her subordinate's downfall, and moreover to impart lessons in the hopes that such events not be repeated.
Stretchers come through the halls of Shadaloo all the time; it's really quite dangerous to be a member of a cut-throat secret army and world-wide criminal cartel, and if the plethora of enemies that it has won over the years isn't enough to make life difficult for its rank and file soldiers and more notable fighters, the backstabbing and treachery add their own horrible complications to the mix as well.
Mostly, it /is/ those rank and file soldiers who occupy the stretchers. After that, it's the thirteen Dolls, with the ten lesser memebers of the group most likely to be carried in injured than its three commanders, and after /them/ are the true elites of Shadaloo.
So that Juni was taken for treatrment yesterday is a cause for curiosity, just for the sheer novelty of it. Especially given that there were, to Cammy's knowledge, no truly troublesome operations scheduled that might realistically result in such an outcome. A day later, Doll Zero is within the Doll Chambers of Shadaloo, awaiting the arrival of her subordinate after having sent word for her to come and give a report on yesterday's happenings. It's possible, via telemetry and the like that some mechanical data on what in the world happened could be gotten, and it would certainly be plenty informative, but there's something to be said for eye-witness reports.
News reports from last night were rather mundane. There was the usual property damage, of course, but that's to be expected in a time when everyone and their dog can be found trying to face plant someone into, or even better .through. the nearest brick wall. So at least Juni wasn't trying to create a small war, and any pounding that occured was small in scope.
Having fully recovered with the assistance of a decent night's sleep for once and the own recuperating powers of psycho energy, Juni's at least physically well and sound. Emotionally and psychologically well is another story all together. And while the Dolls have, by their nature, various degrees of limitations towards how much that can affect them, Juni's... worried, to say the least. Having her first contact with Doll Zero be to report on how she managed to lose a fight she shouldn't have wasn't exactly the way she had things planned. Disobedience to one's superiors isn't a trait commonly found in Shadaloo, however, and Juni reports just as ordered.
Quiet steps bring her into the Doll's personal quarters, then Juni stands at attention with her hands held behind her back. "You requested my presence?" Juni asks, only a faint hint of curiousity tainting her voice. She of course shows rather little of whatever she might be thinking about this meeting.
Given that sometimes, when she has the Chamber to herself, Cammy still watches the DVD of the self-proclaimed Emperor of Muay Thai kicking her into unconsciousness, it is likely that she is not unfamiliar with the idea of losing fights that should not have been lost. It's really more a matter of learning and understanding, when it comes down to it, as crushing as failure - as disappointing Lord Vega - can be.
"Report," is all that she says as she lifts her chin just slightly towards the entering Juni.
Report, of course. Speaking evenly, Juni replies. "I was patrolling Shibaya last night, keeping an eye on people of interest in the city. I found one in Yurika Kirishima--a member of the Dark Student Congress. As it had been some time since I turned my attention towards that group, I inquired as to how her training was going. She took this as a threat and we started to fight." As she continues, the corner of Juni's lips turn into a slight frown, a reaction so subtle it would be easily ignored on someone prone to wider reactions in mood. "I mostly determined that I still have a large weakness towards chi based attacks. It did not go well."
LAST WEEK...
Shadaloo's accounting division - which pretty much consists of a few unfortunate business majors paid huge salaries to help cover the rather nasty downsides(up to and including sudden death, brainwashing, mauling, kidnapping, subversion, incarceration, sensory deprivation, humiliation, and usage as a punching bag) and long hours - is sitting around the little card table that they've been given for group meeting purposes.
"You know, I bet that if we could get one of our people into some charity thing - like this, this Restoring Southtown Project business - we could pull in a little extra disposable cash, and--"
"Um, hey, who do you suggest get involved? The psycho with the claws? That guy who keeps punching the goddamn walls?"
"Well, maybe one of the Dolls..."
"Oh! You're saying nobody'd notice a mindless teenage girl in--in--uh, hey, why's my watch beepi--"
Several minutes later, as bits of loudmouthed accountant are squeeged from the walls and table, the accountant with the bright idea sighs loudly. "Man, /now/ how am I gonna get our books done..."
NOW...
"Yurika Kirishima. The violinist and recent charity organizer. You encountered her and she chose to attack you?" A beat as Cammy searches Juni's expression, and then she continues, "You must train yourself. He does not accept weaknesses."
THREE DAYS AGO: Juni snaps the martial artist's arm between her legs, leading to an instant scream as she feels the excrutiating pain of a compound fracture. Taking her time standing up, Juni delays letting the trainer's arm go at the least moment so she can continue with the sudden drastic urge to curl into a ball and go white.
Juni smiles at this display for a moment before turning to the nearest phone to order a stretcher. "And do hurry about it. I don't want Decapre thinking that I'm deliberately leaving gifts for her amusement.'
NOW:
Juni's frown only deepens at Cammy's rebuke, though it vanishes quickly when she realizes how carefully she is being scrutinized. she bows her head briefly when she realizes the mistake she's made -- displaying herself as less than perfect -- then straightens fully, her face a careful mask of a bland gaze. "I intend on spending the next days in training to redeem myself of this temporary setback. If you have the time, I would welcome your assistance."
"He deserves nothing less," Cammy states succinctly. "I will help you. It would be a good idea to find others who dabble in chi manifestations to train your body to better absorb them, besides."
With that, Cammy is on her feet and walking towards her corner of the chambers to dig through a small bin of stuff. Big, bulky red rollerblades are set gingerly aside, and then the gloves/bracers that might as well be their twins are drawn out and slipped on over her hands and forearms.
"Adopt a defensive posture."
With that warning given - far, far more than she would give just about anyone else - she is moving swiftly across the room. In spite of telling Juni to be defensive, she's not actually intending to offer any sort of attack just yet, though her fist is certainly cocked back as if she means to do so; instead, she is seeking to gauge the other Doll's capacity for reacting appropriately to threats.
COMBATSYS: Cammy has started a fight here.

"It will be done." is Juni's reply. The only reply that's worth making over the subject. Find more chi users, learn to avoid their attacks. Get used to that lovely feel of having a live current running through her body. Lord Vega would demand it, so it will be done.
There's really only one reason Juni can think of why you drug out the bracers: someone's going to get a few fists upside the head, and she seems the only candidate. That said, Juni was already on guard before you even said anything, her body shifting quickly into a more defensive stance away from the beds and any other clutter that the busy room might present.
Legs spready, body loose and relaxed and leaning forward slightly it seems more that Juni's ready to pounce rather than absorb a blow. A good defense is a good offense though, and Juni's idea of defending herself is mostly being sure she can move out of area A to area B to be in better position to insert fist X into body part Y. It works, for the most part.
COMBATSYS: Juni has joined the fight here.

Rocking slightly from one foot to the other, Juni considers Cammy thoughtfully. Cammy wouldn't be in her position of leader if she wasn't the first doll, and most importantly, the strongest dolls, and Juni's already considering her options. Even Cammy can make the occasional tactical mistake though, and exploiting that's going to be Juni's chance to get out of this fight in one piece.
Edging her way around Cammy towards the clearer center of the room, Juni takes the time to quickly scoop up a small metal tube one of the Dolls left laying on a table. Fingers wrap carefully around it, giving her fist a little more heft. It even, if it came down to it, gives her something she can throw at the killer bee for a distraction.

In passing, Cammy reaches her hand out for the back of Juni's uniform with the intention of dragging her right along as she makes her mad dash through the room. It's not the most painful of attacks, certainly, but the idea is to catch the other Doll by surprise more than it is to greivously wound her right at the outset, and Doll Zero can only hope that being dragged along at the inhuman speeds that she's capable of reaching is enough to do the job.
Her eyes, which miss very little due to being trained as intensively as she has been, do see the piece of metal being picked up, but it isn't a worry just /yet/; she's been hit with her fair share of heavy metal objects due to that intensive training, after all.

Wha? Where's Juni going.. *Whaaa* thud.. apparently right into a wall. Face first, colliding with a surprised breath of air and a quick back pedal away from it. There's a small trickle of blood leading down her nose, but it dries and heals quickly on its own, leaving only a small trace of it on her upper lip. She barely even notices it, save for the tingly sensation in her nose as it heals itself.
Still sensing Cammy behind her as she backsteps from the wall, Juni leads with a crooked arm. Turning around quickly, she offers a swinging elbow towards the blond, Juni's bright eyes focusing on her as soon as she comes into view.

Juni's elbow is caught in the palm of Cammy's right palm, sending painful kinetic force radiating through her bones despite her protective armwear.
"At the right time," Cammy observes calmly as she grips Juni's elbow, "that would render you unconscious. Be more watchful." With that, she pushes the arm away and spins forward, the back of her right fist swinging towards the rear of Juni's blonde head. If one contact with the wall is enough to draw a little trickle of blood, perhaps a second, more intentional one will be sufficient to break it.

No, Juni's not there anymore. Sensing the burst of psi power coming out of Cammy, Juni does the 'getting the hell out of the way' thing right this time. Ducking under Cammy's fist, Juni dodges the glowing fist by a few inches. It's enough, and it saves Juni from a stronger blow to the back of the head.
Twisting her body around while on the ground, Juni pops back up with a flailing leg. It's a move well known to the girls -- and perhaps predictable, but it's been made that way for a reason.

Cammy 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Juni
As hard as Cammy was swinging, her fist winds up wedged so deeply into the wall that Juni was against that she's caught struggling to actually pull it free. And thus, she is unable to go anywhere when Juni's foot makes direct contact with her face, causing her to slump immediately with her hand still trapped within the wall.
Though she does manage to recover from her brief flirtation with being rendered unconscious - and even to draw her hand out of the wall to make falling to her knees to recover easier - she's not immediately aggressive, preferring instead to look up at her fellow with dead blue eyes for observation's sake.

If Juni were anything other than a doll, she might actually slow down the attack to make sure that Cammy's alright. She isn't though, and she won't. The concept never even crossed her mind. Doll Zero, Vega's spare body, or not Juni's in attack mode and having Cammy kneeling on the ground there while she watches her sister's next move just makes it all the easier to show her the next move.
Lifting a leg up, Juni brings her shin almost to face level before letting it drop again. There's no red glow of psychopower from Juni this time... but nothing says 'I love you' more than a sledgehammer blow of a kick brought down directly onto a head set up at the perfect height.

Similarly, a normal teenaged girl might be having second thoughts after being briefly knocked cold, but surging upwards to meet Juni's falling kick with her forearm, then slipping towards the German Doll's back to wrap both arms around her body is Cammy's reaction of choice; 'fear' or 'self-preservation' are wholly foreign concepts, and moreover with such an imminent threat at hand, similarly immediate action is required.
Should she succeed in cinching her arms around Juni, she will quickly demonstrate that it's no loving embrace that she means to shower upon her not-quite sister; instead, she'll wrench backwards to dump Juni directly onto her head with a vicious and perfectly arched suplex before rolling backwardsto put distance between the two of them.

Twisting in your arms as soon as Juli realizes what's up, she manages to bring her arms up to help soften the blow with a less vulnerable part of her body. There's still a solid thud when she hits the ground, but at least it's a less sensitive part of her body than the top of her head. After catching the fall, Juni rolls onto her feet as well, dead eyes staring at Cammy as she considers the rest of the fight.
She's doing a lot better than she expected to do, though she's quite aware that most of that was due to a lucky hit. The fight's still young though, and there's no reason to loosen her edge. As she raises steadily to her feet, Juni keeps an eye on Cammy to watch how she adapts to the unexpected flow of battle.

Cammy remains in motion after breaking contact, blurring just around her edges as she sinks into full and focused evasion. Her boots thud audibly on the tables scattered here and there throughout the room as she uses them intermittently as platforms, hanging belongings rustle in the wind her speed is kicking up, and most importantly, her eyes never, ever leave Juni as she circles the area, goads her fellow to attack, and most importantly seeks the proper opening to take advantage of. It's something of a wonder that nothing is actually tipped over during all of this, but her balance is impeccable, and to her occasional chagrin, she really /is/ quite light.

Staying on floor level, Juni watches Cammy's footing carefully as she hops from place to place, left vulnerable during those moments she's moving from one table to the other. When Juni sees an opening, or at least what she hopes is one, she quickly throws herself foward into a flip. Vaulting off of the ground with her legs, she goes airborne to try and catch Cammy between the doll's famously impressive legs.
If she catches Cammy with her legs, Juni'll squeeze her thighs, twist, then send Cammy back to the ground as gravity takes her dangling body back down again. From there, like with the earlier throw from Cammy, it's simply a matter of rolling away and seeing if Cammy's still moving with a bendy neck. At least, that's the plan.

As she bounds from one table to another, Doll Zero catches sight of Juni out of the corner of her eye. With her legs extended to cinch around her body, no less. Were she the type, she might, say, smile appreciatively for the similarity of technique, but because she's a horrifically focused assassin, she simply reacts accordingly.
The soles of her boots touch the edge of the table she was aiming for, and then immediately she launches herself backwards to pass by Juni and leave herself free of the other Doll's deadly embrace. As soon as she lands on a table nearby, she leaves it as well, seeking to help her non-sister down from her leap by cinching /her/ legs around Juni's waist and twisting her down to the ground.

That did not go as planned. Missing the leg grab, Juni finds herself unceremoniously dumped groundwards with a sharp *crack* of a table being broken in two. Along with a couple of Enero's clay models. Juni'll worry about the wrath of Enero later--if at all, right now she has a battered body to deal with and a buzzing sensation in her head she knows she shouldn't be having.
It takes a few seconds to get back onto her feet this time, and a second later to remove a shard of plastic from her back. Juni frowns faintly as she does this, some sign of emotion from the girl, moves onto the attack again. Dropping to her palms, Juni lashes out with both legs in another familiar attack, trying to knock Cammy off of her own.

Cammy 0/-------/=======|======-\-------\0 Juni
If Juni is set on worrying about the wrath of Enero later, Cammy is set on doing so... never. It is, in fact, quite likely that she specifically aimed for that table because of the extra debris on top of it; more unpleasantly jagged stuff for Juni to land upon, reminiscent of doing battle just about anywhere in the real world.
As soon as she's on her feet, she's got to bring her right leg up in a defensive roundhouse kick in order to ward Juni's legs away from herself, and as soon as it might rest against the ground, she turns this up a notch by ducking low, lunging forward, and bending deeply at the knees.
"Cannon Spike!"
That simple cry heralds her flipping her body backwards to do a sudden one hundred and eighty degree flip, her right foot extended straight upwards and her entire body ascending in the hopes of catching Juni on the point of the chin with the iconic strike of the Shadaloo Dolls.

Cammy 1/-----==/=======|=======\=------\1 Juni
That again? And moving way too fast for Juni to come up with a decent way of avoiding it, and she has little interest in taking it.
It's like synchronized swimming -- two tall, lean bodies duck at the same time, then propel themselves upwards in a way that simply defies gravity. Then two feet meet two chins and the girls both fall down from impact. Well, it looked neat up until that point.
Looks are secondary, of course, and Juni drags herself off of the ground happy with the knowledge that she gave as good as she got. Now only if she could stop breathing so hard.
Once Cammy has smashed through /another/ table, she decides then and there that she's going to heave more apologies to not bother to give out to her fellow Dolls. She's down, she's surprisingly sore, she's reasonably relieved at Juni's competency, and most importantly, Juni is probably all of those things as well.
So it's time to take advantage.
"Lock on," she says softly as she pushes herself up to her hands and knees.
"Spin Drive Smasher!"
The last word is followed by her rocketing towards the recovering Juni, feet once again leading as her body twists impossibly fast and travels with similarly impossible straightness. Things which are not nailed down in her passing are sucked in to be spun in her unholy gravity, which can only make any possible contact that much worse.

Cammy 0/-------/-------|=======\=======\1 Juni
And Juni's string of bad luck of not being beat to a pulp by Cammy seems to come to a sudden halt with this new onslaught of attacks. Bringing her fists up to her chest and face to protect herself, it does little to prevent her from being pummeled with Cammy's attack, her lean body becoming quite a bit bent when Cammy's feet strike hard enough to almost go all the way through her.
And then there's the trip upwards. Any notion Juni had of blocking those are dashed after a strong kick to the head makes it impossible for the girl to figure out which direction is up, where the next kick is coming from, and for a moment who she even is. Things don't improve that much when she lands back down, her body twisting in the air about as gracefully as a fish being dropped on the frying pan. She flails, flops and finally lands with a crunch on the ground all those many feet (miles?) below her.
Juni twitches after landing, her hands grasping in a futile gesture at the air, her eyes glazing over as they decide wether to simply close and be done with consciousness and pain for some time.
And then... then the girl staggers back to her feet. It's the painful looking stance of a punch drunk boxer who should probably know when he's been beaten and take the merciful knockout -- but Vega never put the notion of 'quite when your head feels like it's about to burst open and all of my guidance spill out in messy chunks on the floor' into Juni. Vega taught Juni to fight until she can't stand up anymore. And Juni can stand up, though she coughs up a thick clot of blood with the effort. And Juni can still fight.
The girls are far too well matched in most of their moves for Juni to have something different to offer Cammy -- but at least the girl can get a chance to taste what it feels like to have your teeth floating around in your stomach rather than in your mouth where they belong.

Alas, the similarities between the two girls' techniques is what might wind up finishing this whole affair, as Cammy is actually somewhat prepared when Juni mimicks her. Her execution is admirable, and the force applied is intense, but ultimately... she's a girl who should be unconscious, doing her best to put down a girl who's still got some fight left in her. That, as well as Cammy's bracers being placed defensively between her body and Juni's feet means that the attack does not have quite the desired effect, and when it's all said and done, Cammy is still on her feet.
And her right hand is flipping down to grab one of Juni's ankles.
It's a simple attack that she wants to go for: just a quick flip upwards to drop her to her back and rattle her around, but the Killer Bee is hoping that with Juni's condition being as delicaet as it is, it will be sufficient.

Not quite that easy. Juni's been rather hard to put down all fight, and she's not showing any interest in going down just yet. A twist and a shove of her free foot gets her ankle released before she has her life shaken out of her like a wet towel and Juni's back on her feet. Disappointed that her attack didn't bring half the pain that Cammy delivered to her, but sufficiently content that she can still deliver her own punishment.
Panting heavily, her chest raising and falling heavily as she struggles to find each new breath, Juni eyes Cammy darkly. With little more than sheer luck endurance and staying power to keep her on her feet now, Juni goes for broke. She's gone for Cammy's head with little success before.. but it's the nastiest thing she can throw at Cammy right now, and that's just about all that matters. That, and the few extra punches she hopes she can get in while Cammy wriggles out of her grip.

Juni mounts her prototype's shoulders, she lands a few punches... and then she's abruptly grabbed by the throat and flung free.
And then with the words, "Spiral Arrow!" Cammy follows after her, leaping forwarda short ways before flattening out into a linear, feet-first trajectory that takes her twisting, drill-like feet right into the center of Juni's chest in order to send her flying away. She slides along the ground on her knees when she lands, and while she takes her time in standing back up to her full height, she does indeed stand.
And so does Juni, though it's obvious that that's simply a few brain cells that haven't quite gotten the message that they're supposed to be in lala land like all the rest. Wobbling heavily, Juni points a finger at Cammy, then summons the last of her psycho energy.
It comes in the form of a torpedo. The last of Juni's will forms itself into a shape most comfortable? to her. The shape of a shin, a red cloak and a bulky uniform.
The visage of Vega is hardly her best work, but Juni barely has time to acknowledge it at all before that expenditure finally knocks those last, stubborn, brain cells into submission. Vega-torpedo will have to do the work Juni can't.

Cammy 0/-------/----===|
For reasons that she's never fully understood(or cared to probe), Cammy is just about incapable of offensively channeling Psycho Power in the same obvious, glowing fashion that some of her 'sisters' and Lord Vega himself does. It empowers her muscles to drive her to peaks of performance easily on par with those attained by chi-users, it stabilizes her body's injuries when needed, and it gives her a leg up on understanding her opponents, but if she's ever been capable of managing more overt displays, she certainly cannot recall such a time.
However, there's still a veritable furnace of the ill-understood power raging within her, which makes defending herself from it less frightening than it may be to most. Moreover, such as right now, as her fist glows with horrible, unnatural violet fire in meeting Juni's final attack, it manifests itself to aid in snuffing out emanations of energy; her raw, unshaped Psycho Power clashes with Juni's last ditch attack, and when the sparks settle only Cammy's fist remains.
Her boots click softly on the ground as she walks towards her fallen second in command, and wordlessly she crouches to slip her arms beneath Juni's body that she may be lifted up and carried towards the Infirmary for treatment.
