Description: If there's one thing lonely drunks on Christmas enjoy, it's seeing two men punch each other senseless--and the owners of the Shanghai Sports Bar are willing to oblige, thanks to Saturday Night Fight! Thai Terror Adon is pitted against Metro's Heavy D! in a fight where both men are rendered BLIND--thankfully not FOR REALS--and forced to duke it out in the bar. You're the entertainment for many lonely, drunken hearts this Yuletide evening, boys, so make the most of it among the cheap Christmas decorations. Hey, at least the winner gets a voucher to a free meal. Merry Christmas! (WINNER: Heavy D!)
So...D!'s grand return into SNF, after taking a sabbatical to deal with...well, personal motivation....it amounts to this. Fighting amongst a bunch of drunks in a bar for cash. That's...that's a real step up, that is.
Ok, so the situation is different from what it sounds. It's truly an official SNF fight, even if the venue leaves much to be desired. And the audience isn't all barflies and drunks. Unfortunately, as small as the Shanghai Sports Bar is, compared to, say, Howard Arena or even your usual street venue, there aren't quite as many spectators to overwhelm the drunken regulars waving betting slips. That's small consolation for D!, really, as the match preparations get underway, the boxer turned away to do some shadowboxing on the wall nearest to the door.
It really wouldn't be so bad, if it wasn't for the final caveat, one that sets D! to slacken his arms and shake his head. Looking to the side, he looks at....the blindfold. HIS blindfold, the one the crew are going to cinch on him so he can fight his opponent blind. "Dammit," he mutters to himself, looking over his shoulder at said opponent. This probably wasn't the best way to try and get back some respect, especially considering said opponent.
"I, ADON, THE EMPEROR of MUAY THAI, did not ORDER a SCREWDRIVER! I ordered a MIMOSA, you WORTHLESS piece of USED TISSUE!"
With a great slam of his arm, Adon hurls the cocktail waitress to the ground. The Emperor's sycophants all rush to Adon's side, praising him while they scowl at the poor waitress. Adon himself begins to look down upon the woman, looking quite smug with himself. The return to the Saturday Night Fights. This was the chance for ANOTHER line of stunning victories from the Emperor. Ever since the Neo-League mysteriously was put on hold, despite Adon clearly being in the lead, Adon has become... bored. BORED! But now, he would not be bored. He would be...
"I WILL be the GREATEST!" The emperor howled, turning around to face his opponent. Heavy D. "AH YES! HEAVY D- period!" The Emperor states with a wry, warped grin. "Perhaps if you manage to PROVE YOURSELF over me, you can EARN yourself a NEW EXCLAMATION POINT upon you NAME! BRING me the BLINDFOLD. And make sure it is EXTRA THICK! The EMPEROR of MUAY THAI does not NEED to SEE him to DEFEAT such a SIMPLE BOXING FOOL!"
The assistant hands over a thick, cotton blindfold, and the Emperor snatches it up roughly. Tying the blindfold over his eyes, the Emperor sneers, tilting his head upwards. "So COME! COME FORTH, you COWARD! You do not even NEED a blindfold... to LOSE AGAINST ME!"
Yeah....this wasn't quite his idea of a good return. D! /could/ claim to want to shut Adon up for his bluster, but he's not sure he could do that even if he broke the Emperor's jaw. Instead, D! just resigns himself to the situation of the fight. Make do with the situation, rather than lament what is. "Alright, lets do this," he says, allowing one of the SNF crew members to cinch his blindfold in tight, just to make well and sure the boxer is actually blinded.
Once that's settled, he's turned in the right direction (not that it's terribly difficult, with Adon's shouting making his location blindingly obvious). Settling into his guard, cheered on by the drunken howls and a crash of glass from someone just drank under the table, the man known as D! is set...and.....
*DING!* The signal for the fight is given. Normally, D! would be forced to orient himself to try and get his bearings without sight. But...again, with Adon TALKING SO DAMN /MUCH/....it's not hard for even a man without echolocation to pinpoint where the man's jaw was and send a blinding straight right, aimed directly toward the kickboxer's trashtalking-hole.

*DING*
A high-pitched squeal of laughter erupts from the Emperor. "SO! It has begun!" Adon begins to jump from side to side, keeping his movement up. "You would have to be a FOOL to DARE challenge I! ADON! The EMPEROR of MUAY THAI. Fortunately for ME, you are also a IDIOT and unable to punch your WAY out of a paper-"
"GYAAAAAAAAAH!"
There is a crunch as Adon takes a solid punch in the chin. "GYAH! HE CHEATED! CHECK HIS BLINDFOLD! CHECK HIS BLINDFOLD!" Adon tilts his head way back, adjusting his chin... and trying hard to look down beneath his blindfold. He manages to catch a glimpse of the shadowy frame of Heavy D!; and he sneers as he snaps his head down. "You may cheat, BOXER, but the EMPEROR of MUAY THAI does not NEED such PETTY TRICKS to DEFEAT YOU FAIRLY!"
With a howl, the Emperor LEAPS FORWARD, pouncing like a beast. "JAAAAAAGGA!" Was the cry as he slammed his right arm across hard, attempting to bring into down upon the head of Heavy D!... while jabbing in his left fist, in an attempt to catch him from high and low.

The hit wasn't assured...but thankfully Adon kept running his mouth enough that it wasn't hard to find somewhere to hit home for D!. The feedback from his punch tells him that it was a nice, flush hit, assuring him of his target. "Keep talking," he mutters as Adon screams at his willingness to overcome the boxer's 'tricks'.
D! doesn't get too cocky though, knowing Adon's more than willing to lash out in retalation. And indeed he does. Hearing the rush of limbs making for his direction, D! puts his guard up, barricading himself behind his forearms best he can. It's a good thing that his foe is just as blind as he, making it hard to really switch up attack height. The elbow and jab combo aim at the same general level, his block shielding him for the most part away from Adon's strikes. "Just keep talking..." He repeats, before he whips out several short hooks. Not full swinging, but enough to try and test Adon's guard a little if the pugilist can.

"HAH! The EMPEROR have FOUND YOU!" Adon cries as his limbs strike... limbs. Darn. He manages to disrupt his guard a bit, but Adon realized that he was in a position perfect for a counter attack. He suddenly tenses his body up, and digs in. As Heavy begins to unleash his offense, Adon's body stands strong. It was like hitting a brick wall, which helped the Emperor endure the assault. As he was struck, the Emperor cried out loudly. "MARCO!" Adon suddenly shouts. A syncapath suddenly cries out. "POLO!"
And upon the final blow, Adon disappears.
If Heavy listens carefully, he might have heard the Emperor leaping towards the cry. If he listened normally, he would have heard the yelp of pain from the servant of Adon. If he wasn't listening, and probably stoned AND asleep, he would have heard the sound of Adon rocketing through the air, leg first, aiming to run down a kick right across the entire battlefield.
"JAAAAAGGAA TOOOTH!"

D! hears it alright....but the problem is that having no idea how close he actually is or how fast he might be moving, the boxer really can't get a beat enough on Adon to truly do anything about it. All he can really do is tense up, bring his arms up and tighten his stomach muscles up...and brace for impact. The spearing, flying kick hits home, and despite the hardening, it does a nice dent into the boxer, sending him skidding back before his balance gives way, forcing a stumble. He manages to keep upright, but by that time, he's already a few feet further back than he should've been. Not good.
And while indiscriminate attacking isn't such a good idea in a crowded bar....he's going to need to do something. And that something?
"Hrrahh!!" It's sending a powerful explosive Blast Upper straight toward the direction Adon was in last. Not exactly easy to disguise an attack like that, but it's not exactly easy to dodge either, even without a blindfold.

"JAGGGGAAAAA" Was the cry as Adon slams his leg hard into Heavy D!'s body. Soon came the cackling as Adon rebounded back, landing right on his feet. Well, no matter what everyone says about Adon, he was pretty good at Muay Thai. But then Heavy D! launched his energy out. The emperor once against tried to dodge, evading to his side. Except, well, he forgot that his enemy was BLIND. So frankly, Adon takes a blast of energy right into his face by STEPPING INTO IT. "JAAAAAGAAAA!"
But then there was silence.
Adon moved without screaming, without shouting. He was like a ghost, leaping up in the air. He lands short of on top of Heavy D!, giving the boxer a single chance to hear where the Emperor was. "7 feet, sir!" Was the shout from the audience, as Adon continues to fight fair. As the emperor tilts his head right up, he confirms that position. Adon was up again. He leapt a short distance, aiming right for the boxer's shoulders. If he managed to make contact, he would grab him, flip the boxer over his OWN shoulders, and hurl him right towards the crowd. Right towards the voice. Why? Two words.
Broken Glass.

Sometimes, things just don't go your way. Even with Adon 'Fighting fairly' against D!'s 'tricks', things seemed to favor the boxer, who had the luxury of being able to absorb and react. When Adon leaps in to try and snag D!'s shoulders, the boxer feels the grip...and immediately twists, wrenching himself free of the grasp before it can gain anymore purchase and the kickboxer can pull him off his feet.
"Found you," he mutters under his breath, shooting in as he hears the telltale footfall afterwards. A hefty hook is shot in, low about waist level. Then another from the other side, climb upward to the ribs. Finally a rush of air with a finishing stra-...or not. The straight, despite being noisy enough to track never comes, instead hopefully masking the finishing deep body blow to the solar plexus(or at least how high it normally would be).

No. No no no no. Adon cannot be stopped. HE IS THE EMPEROR of MUAY THAI! "I AM THE EMPEROR of MUAY THAI!" Adon roared. He was shocked. Horrified. His attack was STOPPED COLD. He was DENIED. His... his clever attack was RUINED! RUINED! The level of offense that the fighter was filled with was of such a degree that he was about to explode.
In fact, he does.
"RAAAAAGGH! JAGGA!" He roared, as he suddenly dives backwards. Tumbling on the ground, he perks up. "You will RUE the DAY you INSULTED the EMPEROR of MUAY THAI!" Adon bites, stomping forward. He doesn't do anything fancy. He simply slams and swings his leg around, attempting to strike Heavy once again, aiming right for where his torso might be. He just keeps kicking, trying to feel around for him... with his kicks.

D! doesn't go anywhere, even after his punches are leapt away from so abruptly. It's not his style to after unless he knows where his opponent is. Instead, he waits...until Adon's kicks come. Arms pull down to catch the striking legs at chest level. "NNnn..." Now that he's got his opponent's position again....he goes simple. Nothing fancy, no combos. Just a deep hook straight toward the sides with his left hand.

Heavy D!'s counter to Adon's attacks is rebuffed just in tandem. Both of the fighters were blocking each other, caught in a full melee. The difference was that Heavy had to go high to mid... and Adon could go in all directions. As the punches came, the Emperor moves with instinct. His limbs draw inward, and act as a tripwire as he balances on one leg. As the punch doesn't come high, he doesn't notice. But when the punch comes from the sides, he deflects it, pushing it away from him. The Emperor smiles, and continues to twist. Arms snapped out, he attempts to grab the boxer, and whip himself around in the same direction he was twisting. A throw around. Weak, since lacking in joint locks, but quick.

Despite D!'s advantage, it doesn't change the fact that he's never been good with throws. And that doesn't seem to change here. When Adon blocks his hook, D! isn't quite prepared for the grab that comes. And when his arm is twisted and the boxer is flung around, it seems to completely disrupt his game, an unceremonious collapse on the floor. "NNHhhnn..."
He forces back a curse, wincing as he pulls himself back up. Now with no vantage or clue to start from....the only thing D! can do is establish position again. How does he do this? How else does a boxer establish his space even when he can see?

A throw is a weakness hit? Well, that is just fine for Adon. The Emperor of Muay Thai snickers to himself. "You land like a ROCK! A CLUMSY ROCK! The EMPEROR of MUAY THAI... is AMUSED!" Because stealth is unwise in a blindfolded battle, Adon begins to cackle loudly.
Heavy D! finds that, judging from the sudden stop in laughter, he must have hit the chin again.
"GAH! The Emperor roars, swinging his arms in the air. "THAT IS IT! RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAUUUUUGH!" Adon leaps in the air, vaulting with majestic grace. Winding his leg up, he holds in the air, aiming right for where he remembered that jab was. Hopefully, since Heavy wasn't moving much, his chi-laced heel-drop would land true... and if it did, Adon would be leaping off his head, going airborne.
"JAAAAAGGAAAA KEEEEEK!"

HeavyD 1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1 Adon
Adon keeps talking....unfortunately he's finally decided to start hitting too. That doesn't help D!, to know where Adon is, but be unable to do anything about it because he keeps getting struck too far to reach. The difference is clear so far. Even when D! manages to determine position with his jabs again, Adon fires back with something much more powerful, sending the boxer flying back with the Jaguar kick. For the first time since hits were first exchanged, D! laments the blindfolding. What once seemed to favor him is suddenly starting to backfire.
That thought means one thing: he has to end it. He has to end it now and has to end it fast. It's going to be one of his seriously first blind strikes in the match, but it might not matter considering what he builds up. "...people might want to get out of the way soon," he grunts as he slowly gets up to his feet.
Even through the blindfolds, the change in lighting should be obvious...whether it's enough for Adon to see the bomb coming his way or not...who knows. That's not even taking into consideration whether D! is facing the right way to hit Adon here....

And with that, Adon is gone.
Adon doesn't even land. He doesn't even get on his feet. What happens is that people start getting out of the way. Taking cover, is more like it. As Adon comes down, he senses the change in lighting, and tries to twist away. But he doesn't make it.
Adon almost takes the wall of the building with him as he slams hard into it.
The fight begins to get called for Heavy as Adon doesn't get up. Adon doesn't get up.... for at least 5 seconds. The Emperor of Muay Thai tears off his blindfold. His entire body was burning in an orange flame, his inner spirit and chi consuming him. His Rage, consuming him. The Emperor screamed as he flew across the bar, knee first, attempting to pounce on Heavy. And if he was successful...
Adon would tear him apart.

Leg, limb, knee, elbow, fist, head, and body, all hurling themselves at the boxer, attempting to tear him asunder. There was no rhyme, no reason, he just, he just wanted revenge. Adon collapses in midpunch, his body spent. But it does not matter.
Adon had blood.
The silence is deafening, D! not hearing anything coming for the longest time after he hears the aftermath of hitting the Magnum (and the feedback to his fists tells him he hit, indeed). However, just as he was about to relax and fall back in complacency with the victory, the jaguar strikes. With the benefit of sight this time, it's no wonder that he's able to savagely tear into D!, bludgeoning him nearly into a pulp with murderous strikes. However, just as suddenly the strikes end...and D!, despite the final battering, is still standing, however barely. A couple bones broken, plenty of blood...but he's still standing. And that seems to be enough to finally call the fight.
Falling into the nearest wall, D! finally has the sense to tear off his blindfold with his non-broken arm, grimacing in pain as he tries to shuffle over to where the on-site medics are. As he passes, he looks down to the collapsed form of Adon. "...." He doesn't say anything...what can he? D! won, but it was enough of a gimmicked fight that the boxer can't really be satisfied saying he won it...
