Description: [OOC] Pegasus Ichiro says, "You mess with the bull you get the exploding crotch of ZEUS."
MONTHS AGO
After a couple of days of hanging out by the phone - May Lee's phone, incidentally, is a depressingly accurate sculpt of Kamen Rider Kiva - the Korean champion of Justice uses it to phone up her friend and fellow partner in learning the art of Taekwando.
"Hey, Chae, you know that guy I told--yes, the one we went shop--yes, he was nice, y--ohmygodNO what would Master Kim say?!" Horrified, May Lee clutches her phone tightly for a few seconds; deep breaths are taken. Eventually, her eyes return to their normal size. Her cheeks will probably take quite a while longer to return to their normal shade.
"He hasn't actually called or anything and I guess I figure he's off having airship adventures and--no, I--I don't /think/ he's a pira--well, he does have that eyepatch, so may--no, no, he's /definitely/ not an air pirate! Listen, I just, should I be worr--uh huh. Uh huh, three day rule--okay--right--well, but what if--uh huh. Well, I guess... well... okay--what? Come over? I--wuh--well, maybe Waiting To Exhale'd be okay..."
SEVERAL DAYS AGO
"WHAT?!" May Lee exclaims upon reading the instructions to her YFC match, and moreover her opponent.
"I have to do my hai--no, no, wait, I have to give him this lett--no, wait, wait, what would Chae Lim do?!"
May Lee will spend the next hour or so frantically running from room to room of her apartment as she tries to get ready ahead of time.
NOW
On the second floor of the building that's not safe for normal people, but apparently is wholly appropriate for Southtown's fighters to inhabit(and destroy from the inside out), May Lee is hopping gently in place to warm herself up a little before the fight that's about to occur. Her eyes are flicking nervously up and down in search her opponent.
"Okay, this is just like any other fight and it's not even against an evil army or anything so it's probably a whole lot safer this is totally okay just focus think of Master Kim..."
A beat passes and then she stops in place and sags with a small, defeated whine.
"I wish Shadaloo was back..."

Zach's entrance is not at all dramatic. He's already there and with his instructions, which were more than simple. His job was to break the massive Zeus statue that he was currently leaning against with his hands behind his head.
Upon noticing the arrival of the fighters, Zach pulls himself upright and ready. "You guys know the rules, right?" Zach calls out to the two fighters. "Zeus breaks, and you both lose the match." Glen limbers up a bit, flexing his arms and shoulder to get the blood moving through them as his signature purple energies shimmer and slide down the limbs, giving them an armored look. The Psychic Knight settles into a vaguely boxing style stance as he gets ready to start things properly.
Wispy tendrils of misty cloud-cover cling and swirl around the black Einherjar uniform jacket worn by the lone figure standing at the starboard edge of the Sky Noah's bow. A shiny black and silver fully enclosed helmet with a pitch black facemask covers the mysterious fighter head and a coil of black synthetic fastrope is held in his gloved hand. Glancing down at the city below, the helmeted figure casually tosses the rope over the side of the huge battleship before clipping himself the to anchored end and leaps overboard himself.
Speeding toward the ground at what almost seems like terminal velocity, the helmeted fighter rockets toward the unfinished building below before suddenly putting the breaks on the fastrope system and slowing himself enough to land on the roof of the what will soon become the virtuous arena of Wisdom. Glancing at the stature that he must give his all to protect, the mysterious fighter considers it for a long moment before turning to Zach and giving the other fighter a slight nod and leaping through an unfinished hole in the roof and repelling down to the first floor below.
Straightening from his crouched landing, May Lee's opponent unclips himself from the fastrope system and presses a recall button on the rig that sends the rope reeling up into the sky at a brisk speed. Turning to face his opponent, the masked fighter reaches behind his waist and produces a short dagger-like spear from its secured position at his belt; a short spear whose haft extends to a full fighting length of around 3 feet with the click of a secret mechanism built into the shaft. Silence hangs between the two fighters for a few seconds before the fighter's gloved hand lifts to his helmet and raises the faskmask...
"Uhh... hey May Lee..." Ichiro Oe greets a tad sheepishly. "Sorry about not calling you... I uhh..." Ichiro seems at a loss for an explanation for a few moments when Zach breaks the tension. "Oh, I got it, yeah. Zeus is gunna be juust fine," Oe replies to the Psychic Knight with a taunting grin. Whew. Close one.

Though Zach and the imposing Statue of Wisdom are alone on top of the officially sanctioned combat building, they are not the only ones on the rooftops today. Above the unfolding drama that Alma has so carefully set up, on the edge of a bordering building, there is a dark lump.
It is not a terribly attractive lump, mostly on account of how it is a lump. Maybe somebody threw a dark blanket over a chimney or something. It flutters a bit in the breeze, with /envy/, as Ichiro makes his descent from the heavens. It is almost unacceptably cool. A bird gently lands on the lump, a messenger from a higher power, perhaps, sent to teach the lump humility. It keeps its footing unperturbed as the unassuming lump attempts to dislodge it with slow, hopefully unassuming movements, before giving up and returning to what lumps do best; /biding their time as they wait to strike/.
At first, May Lee's hands clasp over her mouth in concern as an unidentified falling body falls through the roof towards she and Zach; will he or she make it? Is this even /safe/? Why can't /she/ ever make an entrance via high altitude rappelling?
By the end, when it's certain he'll be okay, she softly(some might even suggest 'dreamily') sighs and wipes the back of one of her hands across her forehead. She doesn't know for /sure/, but she wouldn't be shocked if a competition of YFC's nature might be rife with unexplained extra challengers to spice things up; she thus exhales gently, crouches and springs forward to fall through the hole just behind Ichiro, and after a few tight somesaults she lands in front of him. Her right fist thrusts out, her left is tucked in near her Power Belt, and she imagines the sun setting brilliantly in the background--as--wait--
Is that a spear he's holding? Well, okay, so spears are probably not uncommon, even if they're really probably too dangerous for people to be using against one another in sanctioned fights, but it's not the biggest dea--
The Korean hero's jaw drops when Ichiro's facemask is opened.
"Uh--bu--uh--y--" is all she manages to say in response to both he and Zach as she stares at him in disbelief. Quick! Quick! Think back! What would Chae Lim say? What would--
"--you--you /jerk/!" she suddenly exclaims just as Ichiro assures that Zeus will be okay. "We have a nice date and you don't even bother to /call/ me?! After all this /time/?! Well it's /fine/ with me because I'll have you know you aren't even that handsome /anyway/ and that eyepatch makes you look like Bluebeard's--Bluebeard's--retarded--gay--ugly--friend..."
May Lee, having gotten proggressively redder and redder in the face throughout her tirade trails off into just panting excitably for a couple of seconds.
After which she demures and quietly, but rapidly says, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean that you're not ug--well, you're /still/ a jerk, but--but--I--"
"Luh--let's just fight!"

Zach doesn't wait for the bantering to stop between the pair of star-crossed fighters. "Then let's get this thing going!" Zach yells as he pulls his right hand back slightly. He aims centermass of the statue as he focuses his considerable energy.
The step-in is sharp and fast as Zach rotates his hips towards the Zeus. More power extending from the shoulder propels the psycho power clad fist directly into the statue with surprising force!

Ichiro's confident grin quickly drops into a somewhat hurt frown as May Lee suddenly turns on him. "I really did want to call May Lee, but... well... what with the reconnaissance missions in Central America and then there's the fact that the police are after me... I just needed to lay low for a litt- What?! I don't look like a g-gay retarded pirate!" Ichiro suddenly gasps self-consciously, his hand darting up to touch the black leather eyepatch that covers his missing left eye. The color rises in Oe's face as he appears to be on the verge of lashing out with his own retort, but the squabble is thankfully broken up yet again by Zach's second intervention.
"Right. We'll talk about this later," Oe grumbles as he unhooks the metal round shield from behind his back and slips it over his left arm. That statue probably won't last long with Zach up there wailing on it. "I've got a god to save," Ichiro one-liners as he shakes his helmet's visor closed with a quick nod of his head. Breaking into a quick loping trot, Ichiro looks as if he is about to try and run right past May Lee when suddenly he plants his outside foot and lunges toward her with his shield raised to try and bash her aside and clear some room for himself before making his way toward one of the massive cement pillars that holds up the partially constructed building. If he's able to get by the pretty Korean girl unabated the Einherjar warrior will quickly leap up and plant a leg against the pillar before pushing off in the opposite direction, gaining enough height to reach up and grab at the huge i-beam that makes up the floor of the level above and hoist himself up to the next level. See you at the top good lookin.
The Mystery Lump shivers, growing restless as more pigeons land on it and the proceedings...proceed. At a mildly alarming pace, in fact. Say what you will about what's his name, he sure can...punch a rock. Which isn't a /bad/ thing, exactly, but Doctor Lump needs a little bit of time to put his brilliant plan into action. Clearly, this leaves only one option left.
The lump explodes, sending a small army of birds airborne, more a scattered cloud of smoking feather missiles than a John Woo movie. One of the missiles, significantly larger than the rest, lands squarely on one corner of the roof. As the white cloud about it disperses, it is revealed to be none other than the internationally reknowned DR. TRAN.
"Hey there, champ." The doctor smiles and nods at Zach, giving a friendly wave. "Seeing as how we're working together, sort of, let me give you a piece of advice. Start out slow on that big guy there, and then build up a bit. It makes it more exciting."

"You're /gosh darn right/ we'll talk about this later!" May Lee exclaims, stamping her foot insistently on the ground. "And you can tell me why you couldn't pick a Central American payphone, or use your cell--ph--wait--"
"/Why were the police after you/?!"
This inquisitive exclamation leaves May Lee wide open to be not just shoved aside, but actually thrown a few feet away with a surprised and pained cry, where she rolls until she ends up ass over teakettle against an unfinished wall.
"Don't just--ow!" Gravity brings her tottering onto her side, and after groaning softly she mutters, "I--Master Kim isn't gonna like me dating a fugitive..." to herself.
Zach whirls around to look at Tran, considering things carefully. His presence... wasn't exactly according to the script. But he was warned things might have to be ad-libbed. He thinks for a moment.
"I suppose building up tension wouldn't hurt much," Zach replies amicably as he settles back into his stance. A moment later, the energy around his arms intensifies before spreading across his torso like fire across grass. "Besides, punching rocks is hard on the hands."
COMBATSYS: Zach gathers his will.

Pausing in his ascent as May Lee calls after him, Ichiro crouches down and stops to lift his visor; watching as she begins to untangle herself from her heap against the wall. "Look. Its complicated. We've met at a really... uhh... complicated time in my life..." he calls down, his explanation feeling just as weak as it sounds. Another burst of sound draws the one-eyed warrior's attention back towards the building's roof. The distinct sound of pigeon death. Who is this now? They're working together... sort of? If this man of medicine and ass kickery really is teaming up with Zach then that statue doesn't have much of a chance. On the other hand, Ichiro WAS warned to expect the unexpected. Maybe the wiser course of action would be to bide his time and see what develops on the roof before throwing himself into the fray.
"Just never mind the police, I'll straighten that out now that I'm back in town," Oe calls down to May Lee, his attention back on his would-be girlfriend. "I'm just glad that I got to see you first when I got here," he adds with a roguish smirk before snapping his visor back down. Glad to see her or not, they've both got a mission to see through. There'll be time for making up after he is victorious.

"Huh." Tran sort of stares at Zach for a second, as if not quite able to understand the laid-back response. "Well...keep on...keeping on." He almost sounds disappointed.
Luckily, there's Ichiro, here to kick ass and take names and be the next target of Dr. Tran's attention. "Yo, hey, eyepatch. Since we've got a moment with the champ collecting himself, I've got a proposition for you."
Meandering forward, looking down toward Ichiro, Tran positively radiates good will. "You look like the type who knows the score, you've been around a bit. I like that, so tell you what; I'll help you out, wear the lady down while you do what you have to up here."
Without waiting for an answer, Tran hops down to the second floor, landing heavily and creating a small cloud of powder around his feet, which quickly starts to swirl as invisible energies boil around him. "It's the /smart/ thing to do, right?" He puts emphasis on that, trying to make sure Ichiro gets the hint. "Just say the word."

'It's complicated' '... nevermind the police...' '... complicated time in my life...'
'... glad I got to see you first...'
Thank God(and Shotaro Ishinomori) for Richard Tran landing in front of her; without him to snap her back into the moment, her head might well have been clouded with emotional chaff for seconds, minutes--an eternity in the middle of a fight with a notional time limit. But he and the chi swirling around his body remind her:
She's here to fight for /virtue/.
So she twirls a little as she vaults up to her feet; her scarf teases itself out from beneath her shirt collar, to be kept aloft on a breeze that, while previously absent, must surely be coming from the many holes in this structure. A little white flare of chi alights on the right lens of her goggles, and once she's tossed her head up to look fully at Dr. Tran, a broad smile that bares perfectly white teeth is visible.
"Thank you, strange street corner doctor!" she exclaims in a voice a touch lower than previously. "I have no idea who you /are/, but I have a statue to save! Ho!"
She's leaps straight up, becoming a blue and white streak with a fluttering red contrail as she ascends; at the apex of her jump, she seems to hang in the air above Zach, the statue and Ichiro for one brief moment stretched out into impossible eternity, and then her right hand swings powerfully towards the top of Zach's skull.
"Choooooppu!"

Zach glances up with a slight frown as MayLee calls out her attack. He brings his arms up over his skull quickly, allowing the psychic-charged limbs to absorb some of the impact. He buckles slightly under the strike, however. While he may have been working to improve his endurance, he still had a long way to go.
Zach considers fighting May Lee off before getting back to work, and immediately discards the idea as a bad one. He swivels around again, pulling his right hand back for a real haymaker. He fires that fist at the statue, the psycho power twisting around into a drill-like shape as he drives the energy directly into Zeus' midsection!

Ichiro blinks his one good eye at Tran as the vertically challenged doctor hops down to join him on the second floor just as May Lee zooms past on her way to harass Zach. "Uhh... what?" The spearfighter asks in confusion, not quite operating on the same wavelength as Dick T. Tran M.D. This multi-level fighting is confusing! "Oh... OH... I gottcha!" Ichiro replies as he tries to process just what Tran is suggesting.
"Sure Mister, I'll take your help. But instead of you wearing down the girl I think you're more up to taking on the Champ(?) himself!" Oe replies with a grin as hoists the smaller man up by the scruff of his neck and gets a real good grip on the lil' fella. "Don't worry mister, I saw this in a comic book once, works like a charm!" Ichiro assures Tran as he begins to spin himself around in circles to gather up speed before HURLING the physician helluva far up through the ceiling toward the psi-warrior on the rooftop! Just as Ichiro lets the smaller man fly a painful though crosses his mind causing him to wince slightly. Hopefully Tran actually makes contact with the Statue-Basher. It's a long way down.
"I...what? /Street corner?/" At a critical moment, Dr. Tran finds himself distracted. He doesn't even have words to describe what May Lee is doing. Any of it. On any level.
So when Ichiro agrees, Tran finds himself suddenly carried away by events (and ichiro). "Alright, good. I'll let you get to, hang on a second, that's not quite what I was getting at heresavingthestatueisfortheprotagonistletmedownohgodI'mflying"
While this in itself is not such an unusual experience, normally Tran is the one propelling himself through the air for one reason or another, and it's always an /amazing/ idea. This, perhaps less so. With his butt sort of on fire, Dr. Tran acts like he's having a seizure even as he soars upward, limbs spasming in what is just a step away from a blind panic.
It's practically no time at all before he's up in Zach's face, a hand passing near, trailing Ichiro energy in its wake. Also a shirt. Tran's shirt, fully intact despite no longer being on his chest. /Curious./
"Hey! Heeeey! Hey! Hey!" May Lee exclaims as she bounces up and down just to the side of the statue and Zach as the latter does horrible subtextual things to the former. Her arms are waving madly above her head - enough, in fact, that there's a little blurring - and when the psycho-powered combatant just won't /stop/ sending little shards of marble flying all over the place, she tries to amp up her distraction technique by actually jumping around the pair in a circle and waving her arms quicker.
I mean, yeah, okay, she could just punch him in the head or something, but that would be dishonorable and non-heroic; jumping around like a lunatic, though, that's what real champions do.
When Zach withdraws(thus freeing May Lee from any moral imperative to leave him be), she cocks her right fist back and begins to quip, "Now it's /my/ turn to drill /you/, evi--" only to be cut off by the flaming Dr. Tran coming from beneath them.
So really, at this point, all she can do is stay the hell back, watch the pair of them for some non-inflammatory opening, and try to figure out what in the world is going on /now/.

Zach grins with satisfaction as marble bits go flying all over the place. His reverie is interrupted by Tran's yelling. He whirls, and sweeps his arm instinctively towards Tran. A wave of psychic energy lashes out towards the inbound Doctor, moments too late.
Tran headbutts the smaller man square in the chest, sending Zach tumbling across the roof before the psychic slides to a halt on his stomach. Glen's feet are dangling dangerously off the edge of the building as he tries to pull himself onto better footing...
Goooooal!" Ichiro shouts with a triumphant fistpump as the flaming(!) Tran crashes into Zach and sends him sprawling. "Now THAT'S teamwork!" the Einherjar Initiate chuckles as he navigates himself across the debris-strewn second floor in an attempt to get a better view of what May Lee is up to. "Hmm... I better get up there and get in on the action..." Oe mutters to himself as his monocular gaze falls on a HUGE 20lbs. sledge hammer laying innocently amid the rubble. "Ohhh... this will do nicely..." Ichiro drools as he gazes upon the beautiful monster of steel and hickory. Giving his trusty spear an apologetic glance before stowing it away in the sheath on his back, Oe slings the huge hammer over his shoulder before turning toward the stairwell's unfinished skeleton and agiliy hopping his way up to join the melee on the roof. An eerily bloodthirsty grin rests on Oe's eyepatch-clad face as he makes his way upward, the sort of battle focused smile that only 20 lbs of pain on a stick can inspire.

Essentially rebounding off of Zach, Tran fares little better than the psychic smasher. Tumbling to one side, it's only through further scrambling that he manages to avoid a fall. The scramble continues until he is both standing and mildly indignant.
"Hey, look, eyepatch! I'm not here to be the hero, I'm here to help YOU be the hero! Remember, this tournament isn't just about winning! If you want the statue to be saved, you're going to have to do it yourself!" Tran, his little rant delivered, turns to May Lee. "And you! Street performer?! I'm going to make you eat that! Two birds! TWO BIRDS!!"
The funny little man uncoils like a spring, or perhaps a spring-powered rocket, hand outstretched in an attempt to clutch May Lee by her throat and lift her with what can only be described as 'crazy strength'. "With one foot!"
Then he spins around and tries to kick her in the stomach so hard she starts digesting his shoe.

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO
Cast out into the harsh faux-American world of Southtown, May Lee has been charged with finding a part time job by her senseis, both to build character and to pitch a little something in to cover Chang and Choi's latest bail.
So after a little discussion with a local sandwich shop, she's parked on the sidewalk outside of its door, wearing a handmade spandex Kamen Rider costume, sans helmet.
There are several dozen coupons in hand(just like there were when she started this gig a few hours ago), but she doesn't let this deter her; her smile is just as chipper as it was at the beginning of the work day as it is now, when she sees a hunched man in a trenchcoat approach. She's every bit as exuberant now as she was then when she exclaims, "Try our grinders--they're the only /real/ hero sandwiches in Southtown! Trust me, I--"
"Hey," he gruffly interrupts as he stops beside her. "Hey, you some kinda--how much for a blow--"
The next several seconds are pretty much blocked out of May Lee's memory forever, but she(and he) still carry the scars to this day.
NOW
"I am /not/ a street--a /street/--/anything/!" May Lee sputters, shocked and scandalized both. Her outrage is so great, in fact, that Tran has a really, really easy time carrying her into the air by her throat, and with her windpipe constricted the rest of her protestations sound more like 'gllrk' than anything else.
Several moments later, when she gotten her bearings back from being made one with an unfortunate support beam by that stomach kick, the wobbly Korean heroine's blurry eyes flick back and forth between the guy who just tried to end her dreams of ever having a family of /little/ tokusatsu and the guy who's punching the crap out of a statue.
The latter wins her attentions, ultimately; she's a pretty focused young lady, when it comes down to it.
"Don't think I haven't forgotten about you!" she warns Dr. Tran as she sprints madly at Zach. "As soon as I save this statue, we're going to have a really long talk about manners! Bet on it!"
These last three words, they are punctuated by a flying kick aimed at the side of Zach's head; chi flares all behind her to provide a dramatic backdrop for just a moment before potential impact.

Zach's eyes go wide as he sees the incoming boot to his head, and pushes up hard with his arms, throwing him forward and a little to the right to avoid May Lee's Foot of Chi Doom by a hair. Zach rolls to his feet, a scowl clear on his face as he stays in a crouch.
"That tears it," Zach growls as the psycho-power covering him erupts in a violent purple flare. "We're DONE here!" The psychic energy, normally kept in check by Zach's force of will, is suddenly given free run as it lashes out across the rooftop in a furious burst. Ichrio is spared, but only because he is on the far reaches of the sudden attack. MayLee and Tran, and more importantly the statue, are not nearly so lucky.
When the energy clears, Zach is on his feet. His upper body seems to be encased in energy that resembles plate mail as Zach strides towards the statue.

The joyous hammer-induced look of transcendent pleasure slowly fades from Ichiro Oe's face as he mounts the last few stairs just in time to see a huge explosion of energy detonating in the middle of the rooftop, the force of which sends a shock-wave towards the young spear fighter than almost causes him to stumble off of the roof! "Holy crap..." Oe mutters to himself, thankful that he hadn't ran up here a few moments earlier. Moving forward a few more steps to see if May Lee is still alright after that blast, Ichiro is suddenly given pause by a deep rumbling sound coming from the marble statue of Zeus. The statue seems to tremble with an unearthly power as small cracks seem to rise to the surface as a result of the powerful psi-beating it took only moments ago.
Some say that the gods take an active hand in the lives of mortals, that they push and guide their actions using little clay statues of men and beasts as they sit high atop Mount Olympus. If that is so then maybe, just maybe some of Zeus's mighty power and wisdom resides deep in this marble statue's core, just waiting for the opportunity to bubble forth to the surface... The statue's rumbling suddenly stops as the building force seems to travel down toward the figure's midsection. The air seems to hang dead with anticipation of what is to come...
*GWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEE!* squeaks the statue as a huge plume of fine white marble dust shoots from the statue's crotch, threatening to spray all over the nearby combatants and cover them with a thin layer of erm... Zeus'... power. Apparently that last hit knocked something loose. "Eww, gross..." Ichiro remarks with disgust as he surveys the carnage. "I don't even WANT to know what that was all about," he adds as he runs toward Zach and begins to swing the huge 20 lbs. sledge toward the Psi fighter, using both hands to whip that baby around in a circle and try to level as much force as possible on the battered psi-armored warrior.

"Don't get me started, crazy, because you started it!" Strong words, but Tran kind of half-mumbles them at the young Tae Kwan Doer, not even really caring if she hears. After all, it's pretty clear he has the upper hand here, and he really has to stay focused. Things to do, and besides, if he keeps fighting her...well, he's pretty sure he knows how fortune will turn.
So with that in mind, the doctor turns back toward mighty Zeus. Instantly, a wave of psychic force rocks over him. Were it a real explosion, he would no doubt be comically blackened from head to toe. As it is, he stands there motionlessly, as though he /feels/ he is, regardless.
Then a puff of white powder hits Tran right in the face. He blinks, shocked back into reality by the awful, awful thing that has happened to him. Seriously, it is awful. So awful. There's only one person who can really be blamed, and one god, but it's only a good idea to deal with one of them.
So Tran walks quietly forward, making not a sound, and gently, ever so gently attempts to put Zach in a totally wicked sleeper hold he learned from a movie. There is a possibility this actually makes it more dangerous than a real one.

"N--no!"
After being thrown all the way to the edge of the roof by Zach's explosion, after barely, /barely/ hanging on and struggling against fatigued fingers and, more importantly, a few likely cracked ribs, May Lee manages to crawl back onto the should-be-condemned field of battle. Actually standing up straight is way, way too difficult for her, of course; she kind of weaves and wobbles here or there, remaining within a roughly three foot area as she tries to keep from falling flat on her face.
It doesn't really lend much credibility to her declaration of, "Yuh--y--/you're/ done here!" but at least the need to drag one of her gloved hands across her bloodied nose to keep the trickle from building up too much in her mouth and staining her teeth helps her look a /little/ tougher.
"Evil statue defiler, I, May L--"
Right about then, she's sprayed with marble powder; thanks to the blood on her face, she's going to look like she was caught on the wrong side of a flour fight for a /while/.
"*coff*I--*kaff* May Lee--*hkk*--Champion of Justice--will not let this injustice--auk--stand!" After clutching at her throat for a moment, she follows this declaration by circling her arm slowly around her front, then snapping it sharply inwards so that her hand is against her chest in a salute. Light shines brilliantly off of the buckle of her Power Belt in that moment, and then she's... gone. Gone in another blue, white and red streak that rises up, up, up into the sky above the fight.
"Rider..." is uttered softly during her ascent as she begins the arduous process of gathering fire chi invisibly, casting it in a net around Zach for eventual impact. She's also somersalting the entire way, but that's less 'difficult' and more 'second nature because it looks really cool so far as she's concerned'. Somehow, she doesn't strangle herself with her own scarf while doing this.
The second word out of her mouth, coming a few seconds after the first, resonates very, very clearly: "KIIIIIIIIIICK!" and following it, she falls towards Zach like a chi-infused dart intended to more or less strike /through/ him and leave her behind him. Should she make contant, she'll rise from the crouch she lands in, circle her hand slowly around the air before herself again... and this time, when the salute is done, an explosion will engulf the psychic warrior.

Zach spins away from Tran, sputtering as the cloud covers him in granite dust. He gags a bit as he gets his arms up to block MayLee's kick squarely, sending him skidding directly towards Ichiro.
No time to dodge, and his arms are still numb from May's kick. Blocking won't do him much good in his case; the sledge will power right through any guard Zach could produce on such short notice. Offensive shift, then. Zach whirls around, vaguely sweeping his arm towards Ichiro.
Part of Zach's armor simply melts off of his arm, and slams into Oe with surprising force, helping to dull the impact of the sledge as it crunches down on his left shoulder with a sickening sound. "That shoulder again," Zach thinks, recalling his fight with Rust that ended with the shoulder being dislocated.
Zach staggers away, trying to get some room between himself and the gang that has formed to stop him, gasping for air.
Zach's quick energy discharge washes over Ichiro painfully, the strange energy almost seeming to sear his soul. The heavy hammer is torn from his pain-loosened grip and it clatters to the ground out of reach even as Ichiro is blown backwards by the psi-blast. "Hnn.... no..." Ichiro groans as his monocular vision darts from his lost hammer to the nearly busted statue of Zeus. The sledge mustn't fall into the wrong hands! Not now! Vowing to keep his shield firmly between himself and the psi-wielder, Ichiro raises metal round shield and summons the burning spirit from deep within his heart.
"AURIC BREAKER!" Oe bellows as his own golden energy pours from his body and flows into the shield on his arm, sending the armament ablaze with glorious chi. Closing the distance between Zach and himself with a few quick churning steps, Ichiro attempts to slam this chi-infused shield into Zach's body and send the other man staggering backwards with a straining shove of his well-muscled left arm as the young warrior puts ounce of effort he can spare into trying to position himself between Zach and the Mighty Statue of ZEUS.
Though Zach steps away from him rather easily, Tran doesn't really mind. Considering the chi that May Lee is gathering all up ons, he'd rather stay back anyway. It's safer that way, and even if it doesn't show too much, he's feeling a fair amount of pain right now.
"Whew. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but dang. At least everything's well in hand, now. Or seems like it, at least." Leaning casually against Zeus, Tran reaches into his coat and withdraws a cigarette. He goes through the motions, partaking deeply in the smokey delight. He looks up.
"So, was it...no, no, nevermind. Not goin' there." Smoke trails upward into the sky as Tran takes a moment to simply watch the fighting continue. Then, coming to his senses, he steps /away/ from the statue, and /then/ keeps watching.

Zach defending himerself so very ably against her kick is actually kind of a blessing in disguise; rather than land, rather than relinquish all of that gathered chi, she tries to shift basically /everything/ that she was doing to create a new opportunity. Her knees bend ever so briefly in that moment of contact between her feet and Zach's forearm, so that by the time he swings it to strike at Ichiro, she's already sprung off of it in a small backwards somersalt.
Meanwhile, invisibly netted fire chi becomes lightning arcing all across her right arm and shoulder, so that once she's hit the apex of her small hop, that sparking limb can be extended towards Zach's chest. If she hits, she'll hit about when Ichiro does; if she misses, it'll pretty much be because she was too caught up in staring at the former lacrosse player's shield handling.
Either way, she'll pretty much land right on her face afterwards, as shaky is her balance is, but at least it won't hurt too badly.

Zach sees MayLee coming; all of that energy she's throwing around gets his attention fast quick and in a hurry. He dives to one side, letting out a yell as his left arm complains at the sudden abuse. It also leaves him open for Ichiro's strike, which catches him in the back and slams the psychic towards the statue.
Zach slumps against the marble, gasping for air as he turns to put his back to Zeus. He glances at Ichiro and MayLee, his vision swimming as he tries to get a handle on things. Tran's... backed off. Wierd. No matter. Job to do.
Zach summons up all of his remaining energy, which is a surprising amount given the beating he's taken, and forces it into a large vertical column. It will provide a pretty lightshow for a few blocks, but fall far short of any of the fighters.
The statue, though, is another story altogether...

"Gddh j--" May Lee begins to waveringly cheer with her face against the floor before feeling the surge of energy in the air.
She pretty much knows what it means; after all, she just felt it not even a minute ago. This is why her adrenaline kicks in to send her in a frantic(and, okay, kind of silly - she's stumbling all over the damn place) dash that ends with the Korean heroine flinging herself desperately at Zach.
Just in time for him to explode as they roll along the roof top.
The only up side to this, really(beyond the statue's safety, anyway) is that May Lee was on the bottom when the blast went off, so instead of flying off of the building and breaking a whole lot of bones, she just kind of makes a crater in the roof due to being pounded right into it.
"Hh--huu--agh--d--did--I--is--is it okay?" she gasps between ragged breaths several seconds later. Her voice is quite tiny, but given the abuse suffered it's pretty much a miracle that she's 'barely audible' instead of 'unconscious' or 'dead'.
Ichiro's feeling of satisfaction that comes with feeling a nice brutally solid hit scored against his opponent is quite short-lived as he notices that somehow Zach still managed to end up near enough to the statue to get in one final attempt at shattering the might Zeus all over the construction site. "Whaaaaaat?! Nooooooo!" Ichiro bellows in slow motion as he begins to charge in toward the psi user, but his dramatic moment is cut short as the Einherjar Initiate watches May Lee bravely dive towards Zach, tackling him and rolling him out of range of the mission objective. Ichiro's chest swells with... well, we'll call it 'extreme like' at this point in the relationship, as he watches his prospective girlfriend sacrifice everything to preserve the virtuous wisdom of Zeus.
The warm mushy feelings that addle Oe's brain and heart quickly fade though as he watches the resulting psi-splosion tear into May Lee's prone form, causing Ichiro to instinctively dash to her side. Sliding on his side into the crater caused by the violent attack, Ichiro gently lifts May Lee's upper body, cradling her in his arms as he sits next to her. "Yeah, you did it. The old man is just fine... you alright Champ?" Ichiro asks the girl, his lips curled into a half concerned, half joking smile as he brushes a bit of her hair out of her face.
And there goes Zach, going down in one last glorious flare of energy. Tran shakes his head. "Like a damn stupid dog, trying to do his duty to the last with a brainless obsession. I could almost sympathize if it weren't for who you've thrown in with."
"And you! Both of you!" Tran turns violently and looks between Ichiro and the ragged May Lee with open disgust, mixed perhaps with a little bit of glee. "Do either of you even remember why you were here? You, girl, you just damn near killed yourself for a /statue/. A statue! An ugly one, too!" Tran strides over and gives it a disdainful whack.
"And you, eyepatch. You let her! It was a good idea, if you were just trying to win. But you were supposed to be more than that, hero. Do you feel like a winner? Eh?" Stepping toward the statue, Tran's grin widens, and he raises a hand to it, chi starting to brim and boil. "Do you feel.../wise/? Ha!"
Giving it a playful tap, Tran steps away, and toward the edge of the unfinished building. "God, I didn't even really have to do anything this time. Fantastic." And then he steps off, his exit made in as dramatic a fashion as possible.
COMBATSYS: Tran has left the fight here.

Really, when May Lee imagined herself in this kind of position - and she /has/ imagined herself lying badly injured in a crater, surrounded by battle damage and being cradled by a guy in order to share a tender moment - a few things were different.
For one, she or he or both were in bright, colourful spandex of /some/ sort, as befits heroes injured in the line of duty.
For another, there was music, usually, like, high and dramatic and full of strings or maybe an aging Japanese man singing.
Also, theere weren't any screwed up guys with sunglasses berating she or he for their heroic actions; that's maybe the biggest dealbreaker, second to the costume thing anyway.
"Uhhh... why's--'s a guy yelling--" The Taekwando fighter swallows roughly and turns her blurred vision towards Tran... just as he's stepping off of the building. "Huh--hey--wait, don'--who /are/ you?" Another swallow, and then she groans and turns her attention up to Ichiro.
"Suh--sorry--I called you a--a retarded--pirate--was Chae Lim's idea," she exhales with some effort.
"Still--a jerk--though..."
Even if she were in better straits, that last wouldn't be especially venomous, now; there's even a really lopsided grin to go with it.
His attention yanked up from the lovely May Lee by Tran's berating, Ichiro simply gives the acerbic little man a shrug when he's asked if he feels like a winner. Looking back down at May Lee's weary, but stable form in his arms, Oe smiles and whispers a reply. "Yeah. I kinda do." Though he may be taking liberties here, Ichiro shifts his arms under the brunt of May Lee's small form and lifts her into his arms as he stands. "I'm going to have to meet this Chae Lim one of these days," Ichiro says to May Lee with mock sternness as he frees an arm from under her to press a hidden button in his Einherjar uniform jacket. "Send down an extraction pod and prep the sick bay, I have someone in need of medical treatment," he says into the hidden mic in his collar. Adelheid isn't too keen on unexpected visitors on the Sky Noah, but this is a medical emergency isn't it? Glancing over at the Statue of ZEUS with a smirk, then looking back at the woman in his arms as he waits for the extraction pod to be lowered from the sky above, Oe manages to keep a straight face as he inquires nonchalantly, "You two don't mind if we head up to the Sky Noah, do you? You both have some injuries that should be looked at." Three to beam up Captain.
