Description: Burning Teacher Hayato Nekketsu takes on the giants Birdie and Brian for a SNF match in Independence Square in Kiev, Ukraine. Birdie and Brian make an imposing duo, but Hayato's Burning Spirit can not be intimidated. Punches are thrown, people charge all over the place, and small businesses explode. (Draw)
Ukraine. A place that Hayato Nekketsu knows almost nothing about. But that's okay, because he wasn't the one flying the plane out here, and the SNF staff helps to make sure that he actually manages to show up at the right place for the fight, on time. And when he does arrive, well, he can at least judge the square as a suitable area for a fight. Plenty of open space, and large enough to section off a spot for the fighters and still have room for a large audience to crowd around and watch the battle happening live.
And what a battle it seems like it'll be. Hayato is used to hanging out around other Japanese people, where he's quite a bit above average height. But today he's fighting against two opponents who are both taller and more massive than he is. But that's not a problem. You know why? Because even if Hayato's muscles don't measure up to those of Birdie and Brian, they're still going to have to contend with his indomitable Burning Spirit! He's not even going to entertain the possibility that he might lose. If he does, hey, no big deal... but he won't think of things like that until the fight is over!
While he waits for the fight to begin, Hayato stands idly by a fountain, cracking his neck a few times and tapping his shinai against one of his shoulders. This isn't a fight where taking advantage of the environment is likely to be a big concern, so for now he can just focus on getting himself pumped up.
Birdie was a man like no other. Monsterous and black the man makes neither of those assumptions towards others, but wears them considerably strongly as if it was armor draping over his frame. After a long period of nothing, now Birdie has a new calling in the SNF circuit, one which he considered a while ago.
Now, he must go to the Ukraine! Something that he is not sure how to dress for, but ultimately shows up with the same outfit as always. Jean shirt and jean shorts, everything is denim for this snappy dresser. The hairpiece to die for is his own icing on a hunk cake. Who would not fall for a man with a heart tatoo'd on his shaved forehead? It is uncommon, but it is also to die for.
Birdie has come to fight Hayato's muscles. He had heard of the burning Phys Ed. teacher. He must continue his persuit for strength and power, even if it means ripping of everyone and going through some of the nastiest muscle bound men!
On camera.
So this giant Texan is also here. Dressed entirely in blue denim, the towering mountain of a man slowly wanders his way towards the roped-off area in the square for the upcoming fight, looking around while he slowly takes drinks from a bottle of beer. Seems Brian Battler always has a drink on him.
This isn't the first time he's been to this area... he did travel here on some "goodwill" mission during his college years. This is, however, the first time he's been let back in since the incident. It kinda caused the US diplomatic corps a few headaches, back in the day. Hence the reason that Brian isn't actually walking alone. No, he's being escorted around by three UN peacekeepers who seem to be keeping a good eye on the giant's movements... and their fingers near the triggers of their assault rifles.
Of course, the former NFL linebacker does seem nonplussed about it all. At least, the glaze of several alcoholic beverages has reduced his paranoia about being so closely covered by three guys who both know who he is and what he's capable of. So, for once, the Texas titan is behaving himself, handing his now-empty bottle to one of the fight crew as he passes through the staging area and into the fighting arena proper. Adjusting his hat, he turns his attention first to Birdie, who earns a serious look and a single nod in acknowledgement. Looking over towards the peacekeepers, he takes note that they are now keeping well away from the arena before turning back towards Hayato.
"Evenin'," he says, his Texas drawl spilling over the words like syrup on pancakes. "Whenever you two are ready, I suppose we can get this thing goin'."
Hayato looks over his two opponents, giving them both a friendly grin. "You two really are big fellas, huh? Well, don't feel any need to hold back on my account." He swings his right arm down, flipping the shinai around once in his hand as he does so. "And hey, Battler... show me what a real NFL player can do. Maybe I can pick up some tips for the kids playing American football back home." Some people might suggest that this would not be a wise idea. But that's never stopped Hayato before!
The teacher glances over at some of the SNF staff, who signal approval for the start of the fight. "Well, okay then." He glances back and forth between Brian and Birdie. The important thing for this fight will probably be not to get caught between them. That could be bad. So that means staying on the move most of the time. "Here we go!" Hayato charges out, choosing Brian as his first target. He reaches for the Texan, grabbing with his free hand for the edge of Brian's denim jacket. The plan is to use that to drag him down, while at the same time Hayato's right fist is on its way up toward Brian's jaw, followed by shoving him over backwards while he's hopefully stunned from the initial strike.

Birdie looks sideways towards the Texan as he gets his little entourage with him, walking all the way up with the three UN peace keepers. Obviously tha man has something to him. Something that Birdie can only imagine as is, since since the whole boat incident he was fighting with, and then with Southtown against. Everything got very conviluated very quickly. What is a Birdie to do.
"Well, allright if you say so. I'm always ready to brawl." Birdie snorts as his eyes shift towards the burning Phys ed teacher who happens to pick out the man which seemed to have a greater presence. Even the black behemoth that is Birdie cannot help but face double edged tendencies about it. On one hand, he's ignored.
On the other hand, the Texan took the first blow. Is he not scared of Birdie?!
"What the hell do you think you ignoring me for?" Birdie grunts as he thrusts a hand forward, attempting to deliver a powerful punch to the solar plexus of one Hayato. The solar plexus is located on the back, right?

Stunned might not be the right word so much as just caught off-balance. Brian finds himself flat-footed when Hayato streaks in, grabbing him, clocking him a good one and then shoving him backward. Just as the phys-ed teacher had hoped, the mountainous form of Brian Battler topples to the ground like a telephone pole, his hat falling off from impact and the wind. The giant pauses for a moment, looking up at the sky, honestly somewhat confused as to just what has transpired so quickly. "Huh," he mutters, pulling himself quickly back to his feet.
Seeing Birdie rush in as he regains his footing, Brian takes quick note of where Birdie seems to be aiming on Hayato's torso. Seems like a good idea. Rocketing a punch forward, Brian tries to slam his own fist into that of the Britpunk's... though, hopefully, with Hayato's liver between them as padding.

"Hey, I can only hit one of you at a time, unless you both want to stand in a lin- oof!" Hayato gets cut off as Birdie's fist slams into him, knocking the wind out of him even if it doesn't quite hit him in the actual solar plexus. And with Brian's punch coming in just a moment later there's not really a lot of time to recover. So Hayato decides to just get out of the way by falling to the side, letting the punch fly past him as he hits the ground.
Now, this is not a particularly good position to be in, but he doesn't plan on being there for long. But before he gets up he tries to buy a little time, stomping out with all the strength he can muster in one foot toward Birdie's ankle before rolling away and springing back up to his feet.

The powerful footwork of one Hayato isn't lost on Birdie as it comes down to attempt a monsterous blow on the mountains shifty, tipsy turny figure. The large figure of Birdie doesn't seem to give up. Especially as the monsterous foot finds the chest of Birdie. But Birdie's chest isn't down near his legs?!
Crouching, Birdie takes the blow to his chest, grinning through the monsterous, bone crushing pain that eminates through his body. Like a shaky mountain, Birdie rumbles backwards with a grunt. "Heh.... that was nice. I ain't standing in line for bloody anyone though, especially not you!" Birdie exclaims as he wraps up Hayato's leg as it was a gift to the bottom of the ocean. Chains in place, Hayato finds himself to be a bloody pinata, thrown up into the air with spiraling links only to be pulled earthward in a resounding plumet that sends him to the earthern shell.
Birdie busily rewraps the chains as he licks them clean.
Well. His punch may not have landed, but what Birdie has just done to Hayato more than makes up for it. He winces in sympathetic pain as his opponent is slammed roughly into the ground with the force of a train. That'll leave a mark.
But, this is a fight. Sympathy only goes so far. And Brian has never been one to hold back because an opponent was down. Far from it, the Texan often prefers them to be on the ground when he kicks them. Less effort, usually. And so, it is with that thought in mind that the former NFL linebacker turns to his own dire work and proceeds to try and bring the pain onto the physical education instructor.
Stepping forward, the Texan hops into the air, raising for only a few feet before turning over like a cruise missile coming down. He lines his shoulder up with Hayato's forehead and comes crashing back down to Earth, letting gravity and his weight do all the work for him as he rockets in.

Well, his kick didn't go as well as planned, so now Hayato's just going to have to get away and... wait, his leg won't move. Oh, crap. The chain wrapped limb provides ample leverage for tossing Hayato up into the sky and then slamming him down into the ground with enough force to send cracks racing through the stone as the air is once more expelled from his lungs in a grunt. Yeah... that hurt. And then, when Hayato opens his eyes again, there's a shadow blotting out the sun. Is it an eclipse?
No, it's something slightly less massive than that, but at least Hayato doesn't have to worry about the moon crashing down on top of him. But when he sees Brian hurtling down toward him, does Hayato just try to roll out of the way? No, he plants both of his hands and his left foot on the ground, then kicks off to bring a blazing right foot up to meet Brian's face as the linebacker descends. That's an awful lot of strain to put on Hayato's leg, but in the end it's worth it... and it gives him enough time to get the rest of himself out of the way before Brian hits the ground.
Birdie can only laugh it off as he finally seeys Brian throw himself onto the wounded Hayato, trying to take advantage of the moment. It's things like that which let Birdie enjoy himself so much. A piece of beauty that one can only see for themselves and experience the distinct flavours that it caries within its bountiful chest.
What he witnesses makes him cring as Brian's gravitic slam finds a powerful foot into his face. Something that should never happen to such a beautiful dive. It drives Birdie mad with anger and hate and witnesses what he should never! It is time to defeat the man with a great and powerful zest!
"Heh... if you think that was the main couse I gotta serve you up some more. How bout you come over here and we'll work something out eh?" Birdie snorts, leaping forward with a heavy boot to try and pin him towards the ground.
Brian's head snaps back from the force of the impact, his back arcing as his descent is slowed for a moment before he once again crumples to the ground. A low groan escapes his lips as the man slowly again makes his way to his feet. Hayato hits like a mule, that's for sure. He's got some respect for that, but respect doesn't help him put a man down for the count.
Again, regaining his footing, Brian shakes the cobwebs from his head and wipes the footprint from his face. This is starting to irritate him, actually. He's being ineffective. It's time to hit this guy solidly for once. "Well, if he wants me on the ground so much," he mutters to himself, reaching out quickly with two massive meathands. Trying to snag the gym instructor before the man knows what's what, Brian's intent is to get the man's head under his arm and then fall back to plant the top of said head into the ground with lots of force and weight behind it.

After applying his foot to Brian's face and rolling away Hayato climbs back to his feet, cracking his neck as he does so. And then he hears Birdie calling out from behind him. "Don't worry, I've still got plenty of fight left in me!" As Birdie comes leaping toward him, Hayato suddenly whips around, right arm flying about in a wide arc. Against many opponents he'd be able to take advantage of his long limbs, but he actually loses out in that department here, so he's forced to take a sliding step to the side as he spins, allowing him to slip past Birdie's leg. And his fist keeps coming around, exploding with fiery orange chi before crashing into Birdie's face... and then continuing on, pushing the larger man back as Hayato follows all the way through and sends him flying.
And all that is pretty cool, but it gives Brian an opportunity to get his meaty arms around Hayato. The world suddenly turns upside down, and then the ground is approaching Hayato's head at a high rate of velocity. His vision goes white for a moment as his skull is introduced to the ground with a loud thud, leaving him to fall over, then quickly clamber back to his feet and try to stagger away for a moment so he can regain his balance.
That wasn't good. That's all that Birdie can think because it is a simple, easy to register thought. Especially as Hayato delivers a blow to end many blows towards the unprepaired fighter. Birdie was going to smash him like a bug. Didn't really work out however. Hayato whips around and strikes like a snake. The crouched Birdie eats a face full of burning Phys Ed fist.
Birdie explodes outwards, his face caving all the way as he's sent yards away, backing up as if he only knew how to go one way. There was a lot of black followed by hot flashes of pain.
Birdie comes to a stop for what felt like being a mile away. Birdie stops, looking forward towards Hayato. Gritting the rest of his teeth and rubbing them together, Birdie prepares for what is to come.
"You sone of a ... goddamn that stung... Feels like my face is on fire. Bloody hell you gonna feel that too." The brawler exclaims as he prepares to ram like a bull, turning all red and even shades of purple before exploding forward like a crazy behemoth trying to horn gut Hayato in the face. Multiple blows of ramming horn propelled like a demon. Zoom.
As Brian gets to his feet, he's feeling pretty pleased with himself. The way Hayato is wobbling about, he knows the DDT did it's job and put some pain into the phys ed instructor. Looking over his quarry for a moment, he decides on a line of attack, and begins to take it.
But then there's this other guy in this fight. The one that just took a hit straight out of hell and had the pain severely brought to him. As Brian makes his way in, his attention is momentarily diverted, and just in time, too. See, his path would make him cross between Hayato and the berserker charge of the Britpunk, and that's not a healthy place to be. Immediately, Brian hits the skids, tossing a quick snap of his fingers towards Hayato's eyes as both a distraction and maybe even a blinding maneuver before he backpedals and gets out of the line of fire. He's not stupid. He doesn't really wanna be where this is going.

Hayato recovers in time to see Birdie bull charging him, and plants his feet firmly, bringing his arms up to hold off the incoming blow. But then he sees a flicker of motion out of the corner of his eye. He attempts to twist his head away, but he's not fast enough, as his vision goes red after Brian smacks him right in the eyes. It's not a disabling blow, but it sure hurts like hell. "Gragh!" And then Birdie crashes into him. But even if Hayato can't see, he can still use his arms as a shield, even if he's getting pushed back by the repeated blows from Birdie.
Finally he manages to escape back a few steps and uncross his arms, blinking some tears out of his eyes. "Ow, ow! Damn it..." His vision is still a bit blurry, but he still manages to spot Brian. "Well, you sure got me there..." He's still got a grin on his face. It's all in good fun, really... but he's still gonna try and get Brian back. The teacher lashes out with his shinai, aiming a strike at the base of Brian's ribs. He then follows up with a strike aimed at the side of Brian's head... then suddenly steps forward and to the side to smack the shinai right across Brian's eyes.

Oh no, oh hell no. Even as Hayato deals with the harshness that Birdie tries to lay down, he's incredibly surprised how well the man deals with it. Raising both arms up in defiance and fighting back the black train aimed to run over Hayato, well, that's really hard to stop. He does stop him however, even with two of them coming at him allowing Brian a single strike.
Birdie snorts like a bull, literal smoke popping out of his nose. "Bloody hell your tough. Maybe I didn't think too much fo you but now I obivously do." Birdie grunts. There was something to that man he couldn't really tell. It's too bad he doesn't want to find out.
"You know, maybe I ain't done with you yet." Birdie annoucnes as Hayato whacks Brian, focussing on him. If he isn't careful however, Birdie is going to make sure he regreats that decision with a quick chain beneath his feet. Snatching up like a trap and hurling him is the perogitive.
With a smirk, Brian nods as Hayato manages to avoid being gored by the raging bull known as Birdie. Despite all the heaping of damage going around, this guy seems to be enjoying himself, and not at their expense, either. One of those people who likes conflict. The former NFL linebacker can get behind that kind of person. They were his favorite teammates; hard working, dedicated, and really liked putting people to the turf. But then, out comes the shinai, and things change. There's a certain distaste Battler has for those who need use weapons instead of their fists, and being rapped hard in the ribs, head and eyes doesn't help things much. Stumbling back, the Texan finally drops to his knees, hands covering his eyes as he grits his teeth. He leans forward, holding his face until the back of his hands rest against the ground. For a long moment, there's nothing.
Then a long, gutteral grunt signals a change. His right hand extends, slamming into the ground like a mechanical stabilizer. His left hand follows suit moments after. Right foot. Left foot. Like a robot, the enormous Texan raises himself to a fifty percent extension, head slowly raising to lock his bloodshot gaze upon Hayato. For a brief moment, Brian's eyes seem to glow the crimson flowing just across the surface of his retinas. He snorts, the air around his nose a ghostly white as just the flicker of longhorns shimmer about his head. He leans back, backside raising as he chambers himself to attack. Ready. Aim. FIRE.
Bursting out of the gate like a greyhound, Brian charges at Hayato with the intensity of a man posessed. Before colliding with the phys ed instructor, though, Brian's right arm and shoulder become sheathed in flickering blue and silver chi as he swings it up and under his opponent, hoping to liberate his feet from his shoes should he send him airborne as planned. Four steps past Hayato, however, Brian slides to a stop, reverses and takes another pass, crashing in towards his target a second, a third, a fourth time before his fifth pass... Which, should his quarry be taken in by, will involve the same pop-up maneuver, followed quickly by Brian himself taking to the air, slamming a fist into the gym teacher to spike him to the ground... and then a 335lb Texan falling out of the sky and flattening the man with an elbow drop to the small of the back.
Seems they stuck Hayato into the ring with a pair of bulls.

Well, Hayato's no Blood, but he's still doing a pretty decent job as a matador in this fight. Brian's setup takes long enough to let Hayato know that something is coming, which is good because once the football player springs into motion there's not much time to think. And stopping him or even slowing him down is probably out of the question, considering that Hayato's arms are still throbbing from their encounter with Birdie. But just as he's preparing to leap out of the way he sees a chain whipping toward his legs.
Falling would be devastating, but a leap towards Birdie serves two purposes. It takes Hayato up away from the chain, and it takes him out of the path of Brian's charge. And since he's flying elbow first, it also means he gets to connect with that to Birdie's nose before pushing off and taking several more quick steps for safety's sake, just in case Brian manages to curve his course around far enough to get at him even here.
DRAT. FOILED AGAIN. Birdie was getting nowhere from this! Especially as Hayato stopping the chain even before it strikes?! In fact, the elbow slides right into Birdie's nose sending him back yard after yard before finally coming to a dead end stop, rumbling to a powerful moment.
"You hit hard..." Birdie snorts again, trying to fix his nose back into position as it bleeds like a makeshift fountain. He fails horribly fumbling at his bruised face. He eventually gives up completely.
"rhgh... I ain't letting you off that bloodly easily." Birdie retorts, coming once more for Hayato in a stumbling waddle. He's wounded and it shows, but he isn't about to let it go that easily. Oh no, he's coming to grab a piece of Hayato, and grab a piece of Hayato he will.
And then, he will toss.
Slowly, Brian's bull charge comes to an end. Snapping his right arm, the shimmering blue around his shoulder crackles and fades, and he begins to shake his head to himself. He really, really, REALLY hates it when that misses. It's rare, but he just pours so much into it that if just goddamn sucks to basically be left there with his fly open and his dick in his hand. Now he has to zip back up and throw his weight around again, and, frankly, he's just not that into it at the moment. Getting no-sold is a quick way to find yourself passing through "Screw This"-ville.
Looking away from combat in disgust, his eyes come across something he wasn't quite expecting. A highly modified golf cart-like vehicle, the back end being used to ferry the snacks and beverages the staff have been provided. It's only a few feet away. The guy driving it is nowhere to be seen. This might be of use.
Shrieks from staff, caterers and other SNF personnel cut through the Ukranian air as Brian wrenches the vehicle free of gravity, stumbling towards the fracas behind him with the catering vehicle clenched in his hands. Back in college, they made him do hammer throws as a training exercise. Now, he begins the work of doing a similar throw with this cart, and still trying to aim it towards Hayato.

Unfortunately for Birdie, he doesn't manage to grab Hayato. The reason why, however, may mollify him a bit. Because Hayato /was/ right there, up until an entire food vendor's cart crashes into him, taking him right off his feet as both man and cart go flying off before smashing into a small vending stall that is thankfully inside the section cordoned off for the fight. It's especially good because the food cart had a propane cannister which was used for heating food, and it's at that point that it explodes. A pretzel scythes through the air next to Brian's head before getting smashed against a wall.
A few moments later a somewhat charred, and slightly greasy, Hayato crawls out of the rubble. But at least he smells good. He coughs once, clearing his throat. "Now, I'm sure SNF is gonna pay to replace that cart, so I'm not gonna fault you for that... but you went and wasted all that food!" Of course, the teacher is still grinning so he's probably not /completely/ serious. That doesn't mean that it's not dangerous when he starts running toward Brian, though. As he gets closer Hayato leaps toward the football player, kicking off the ground to send his entire body into a sharp spin, shinai held out at a 90 degree angle to his body as blazing orange chi surrounds it and becomes a whirling ring of fire leading the charge as Hayato tries to fly into Brian.
Birdie is losing steam?! Something is up. No matter what Birdie does Hayato seems ready to leave him completely out of it. There's nothing he can do! His large, meaty hands aren't able to grasp ahold of Hayato. Partially because when Brian hurls such great thigns towards Hayato Birdie doesn't want to be in the way. It's hurled and it certainly knocks into Hayato's noggin. Score two for team meat and three hundred for team Burning Meat.
"They gonna pay whatever they have to pay, bloke." Birdie says as he tells it as he is without using a snappy one liner. Birdie is ready for action, even as Hayato attempts to send Brian into a field of pain. Maybe, just maybe, Birdie can do the same to Hayato.
It's gonna take a lot more than luck however. Maybe a lot of luck. Or, in this case, a monsterous case of the giant fists.

More screams and shrieks come from the crowd and staff as weaponized crudite assault people at high velocityafter the explosion. Brian wasn't expecting it to work out so well, frankly. He pauses, crossing his arms and nodding in approval as the smoke clears. That's quite some handiwork, Battler. But after a few more moments, his target makes his way out of the rubble, says something glib and charges. He's not paying too much attention at this point, just getting ready to grab this guy as he comes in, plant him hard into the ground and make him wish for his mother. Alas, t'was not to be, for there's that sudden change. The fire, the spin, it causes Brian's brain to lock up a second before it realizes exactly what's coming. "Oh shit," he grumbles, arms falling to his sides just moments before impact. And WHAM.
Flying back a good ten yards from the spot of impact, the Texan continues to skid another three before finally coming to a rest, flat on his back. "That, that sucked," he grunts, slowly raising himself to his elbows... before he's stopped by the barrels of three American-made assault rifles, held in the hands of those UN peacekeepers he was being followed around by earlier.
Brian looks up at one incredulously. "I'm in the middle of somethin' here, son," he says, trying to sit up further until a boot is placed on his shoulder and the barrel shoved almost into his eye. Squinting, he can actually make out the bullet in the chamber. "Okay, okay, fine. Jeez, guys."

Hayato springs back from his flaming impact with Brian, landing on his feet and actually able to /feel/ Birdie's approach as the massive man charges toward him. He attempts to turn around to face Birdie while at the same time ducking out of the way of the incoming punch and fails at both. He's clocked in the side of the head and sent stumbling with his head ringing. It doesn't last for long, though, and he's able to haul himself back around to face his remaining opponent. He's not really sure what's up with Brian, but the football player doesn't seem to be heading back his way, which is just fine. He's taken enough blows to the head today.
After shaking his head in a further attempt to clear it up, Hayato refocuses on Birdie and then suddenly dashes toward the taller man. He might have a concussion, but he can still be fast on his feet. He makes a threatening move with the shinai, but then instead of actually striking he moves to slip past Birdie and come at him from behind, wrapping both arms around him. If he manages to secure a grip, then even Birdie's great size won't keep him from being lifted off the ground as Hayato bends over backward to introduce the giant's head to the ground.

Hayato 1/------=/=======|=======\====---\1 Birdie
Birdie tries to throw himself into the ... suplex. Well, as expected, or at least mildly spectated, the assault does go as planned for one of them. Throwing himself into it, Birdie finds out what it feels like to be planted into the ground head first. And is, actually, as his attempt to get the best of said suplex into a rather unescapable trap.
Birdie slams powerfully against the ground before being lifted backwards and dropped menacingly. Birdie can barely even breathe at this moment, but when the hell does that usually happen? Well, now and then, here and now. Somesort of cross fusion would be right enough.
Getting up for his last moment, Birdie explodes forwards in a grunt to end all grunt, putting forth all his power into a last ditch effort.
"UURRGAAHHHHH!" Birdie charges, attempting to hairpiece some Hayato. If it fails, or any other included, Birdie's going to take a dirt nap in the Ukraine.
COMBATSYS: Birdie can no longer fight.

Hayato 1/----===/=======|
Birdie's hair is a deadly weapon, and this time Hayato isn't able to bring his arms into play in time. He messed with the bull and got the horn. The last explosion of head strikes from Birdie is enough to finally leave Hayato staggering backwards. His legs tremble beneath him as Birdie falls, and he tries to remain standing, calling on the reserves of his spirit. For a moment it looks like he might just be able to make it... but then his legs give out, he falls to his knees, then slowly topples over.
COMBATSYS: Hayato takes no action.
