Description: Hayato and Isamu team up to fight Haggar and (despite the communication barrier) Raoghnailt at the Shao Jiao Nightclub in Taizhou. And a mighty fight it is. Heavy blows, teamwork, self sacrifice... and with the rule that the fight ends as soon as one fighter drops, it comes down to a clash of will to see just who can stay standing after the most punishment. (Winners: Haggar and Raoghnailt)
Nightclubs aren't really Hayato Nekketsu's thing. He's generally more fond of lower-key bars, where one can get a drink without having to actually feel the vibrations of thundering music make their way through your body. ...And also the occasional hostess club. But not as a regular thing, really! But to get back on track, he finds the Shao Jiao Nightclub's interior somewhat distracting, particularly with the dim lighting and lasers everywhere.
It's not enough to keep him from being ready to fight, though. And he actually finds the effect of the black lights on his white shirt fairly amusing. And hey, it's for charity. He can put up with a little irration. He'll just have to make an extra trip to a regular bar once he gets back home to make up for it. But at present he's got a fight to get to, one which he's quite prepared for, judging by the shinai standing ready in his hands.
Admittedly. Isamu used to do the dance club thing. It was where he got to interact and have fun with his wife. Unfortunately, neither wife or daughter would be able to However, this is where they are to get ready for a fight.
Isamu had been straightening his clothes, trying to get himself mentally prepared for the fight. He re-opens his eyes, scanning around his surroundings when he looks over towards the man in the white shirt. He tilts his head over, before he walks towards the shinai wielding man.
"Hey." He offers a friendly smile, "So, you're my partner. It is a pleasure to meet you." The eyes shut then he tilts his torso low for a boy. "Isamu."
"Sae Ah said tae heem, if ye wanted tae gang onie further wi' me, ye ur gonnae hae tae tak' it up wi' miss black! an' 'at shut heem up!"
Raoghnailt squeals in a plea of laughter as she leans back in the nightclub stool. A grim-looking, tall man in a black business suit catches her by her back, pushing her back in her chair. Raoghnailt was here at the nightclub for a while. Once she caught wind that they had an open bar, she simply could not help herself to have a little fun. After roughly two drinks of fun, however, she was clearly having too much fun. The well-dressed man grimly glares at his ward, and mutters softly into her ear. Tightening her lips, she softly spiels to her guardian.
"Och! Mr. Green, Ah was jist talkin' abit ye! ye ur a hen, arenae ye. aam sae sorry abit bein' sae rude. ur we fightin' noo? Ah heard Ah hae a huir uv a a' th' gang an' powerful american as a partner. Haggar, reit?" She drops off her stool uncertainly, stumbling a bit as Mr. Green hands her a white cane. She leans on the seeing cane, catching her balance, and then grabbing Mr. Green when that does not work. "Och! Mr. Green, yer arms ur sae strang!" She trills, pulling herself away. Her blindfold was slipping a bit, making her seem more... unkempt. Facing towards where Hayato and Isamu stood, she snapped out, sweeping her cane as she staggered towards them. "Come aff it! whaur is mah hunky partner, an' th' tois gizzards aam sparrin' against! Ah pure techt, ahem, ur ye aw ready?"
She flashes a wide, warm smile.
If Hayato thinks /he's/ uncomfortable in a nightclub, Mike Haggar of Metro City remembers when the big spot to meet was the juice bar. The enormous man is a bit late, having gotten a little lost in the city, but he is easily identifiable by his head and shoulders towering over the rest of the club's clientele - as well as the wide circle he manages to create with his glower and purposeful stride.
Is this what the kids are into these days? My God. Half of these men aren't even wearing shirts -- some of the girls aren't even wearing shirts! That one's got his pants off! Oh, thank god, he's wearing a speedo, but does that really make it much better? That piercing just seems God damned improbable, why would someone want their ear---
At that point, Haggar stops even looking at the people, locking his eyes forward. A trick of the light behind him shadows his eyes in a particularly grim fashion as he makes his way across the dance floor, letting all manner of entirely inappropriate actions wash right over him until he reaches the roped-off fighting area.
He steps in, takes a deep breath, and exhales in a rush. Thank God. He nods to Hayato, whom he knows, and Isamu, whom he doesn't quite, and looks for his partner. Seeing her, the Mayor deflates in dismay. "Ahhh, jeez." Really? A drunk blind girl? Really? The 'drunk' is the worst part for Haggar here, who quickly moves to assist the mysterious Mr. Green with getting Ruaghulaacht into the ring. "You must be... Rrrrr..." He hesitates, glancing at Hayato desperately. "Rrrrroooo..."
Hayato returns Haggar's nod, then a moment later catches the look the mayor gives him. The only thing he can offer in return is a helpless shrug, though. He's not going to be able to offer much in the way of guidance there. The teacher has his own misgivings about Rao... ...the young woman, but if Alma chose to have her come her she's presumably capable of taking care of herself. And Hayato's not too worried about her being drunk, at least. He's certainly fought while drunk plenty of times.
The teacher also returns Isamu's smile, leaving Haggar to his fate. "Nice to meet you, Isamu. Name's Hayato." And now that the introductions are out of the way, there was something about a fight to be had, wasn't there? Hayato idly taps his shinai on his shoulder a few times, looking around. "So, is there some cue we're supposed to start off of, or do we all just decide to get things started?"
The sight of the drunken woman is a bit of a train wreck. Isamu is staring incredelously towards the woman with a blank gaze. "Uhh..." Isamu blinks a few times, frowning slightly before he places a hand over towards his forehead. He can also see the helpless look on Haggar's face. "--... Rao." Yeah, that is all Isamu could read about her name.
Her name looked complicated as hell to say. So, Rao will work. Yeah, let's hope that is satsisfying. Isamu looks over towards Hayato for a moment, "I am not sure... but..."
Isamu takes a few steps forward to meet up with Haggar and his partner close-handedly. He brings a left palm up and slams his right fist against it before he bows.
"Let's do our best for the people." Even if Isamu doesn't like the fact that things are seedy, Isamu darts his eyes over towards Hayato. They will have to support each other in this fight. So, time to show what they can do.
"Thank you, Mayor Haggar." Mr. Green states in a light Swedish accent as he assists Raoghnailt up to the fighting ring. However, Raoghnailt was having a ball. "Och mah! fa is thes strang cheil? ur ye a booncer? ur mebbe ye ur mah hunky partner! an' th' name's raoghnailt! loch ray, an' nay, raoghnailt! it soonds exactly loch it is spelled!" Mr. Green eases Raoghnailt in the ring, where she manages to hold her composure fairly well. Hopefully, Jessica was never like this. Leaning on her cane a bit, she levels out. And she immediately belts out another spiel.
"Och!" She exclaims, swinging her cane out to balance herself up. "Dornt fash yerse, aam braw! Ah can tak' oan th' pair ay them! especially th' big a body! Guid day! Handsome! Nae, th' other handsome, hah! whit dae ye dae? ye ur practically burnin'. Hah!" She grins, wiggling her fingers at Hayato. She hiccups a bit, and holds out her hand. "Haggar! jist gezz th' wuid, an' we can be workin' together! okay!?" She coos in the softest of Scottish brogues.
This reminds him of the time Cody and Carlos, working together, convinced Guy to try his first... what'd they call it? Jaegerbomb. He still finds glass on the floor.
The Mayor closes his eyes and takes a steadying breath. By God, he can brook this. "Raoghnailt," he manages, clasping her hand, face carefully neutral. Haggar turns toward Isamu and Hayato, running his thumb under his single strap and snapping it against his chest. "Alright! These people came here for a show, I hope you're ready to make this happen!"
He slaps his chest twice, once with each hand, and crouches down with one hand on his knee. A grin crosses his face as he lifts his other hand, gesturing the two to 'come on.'

Hayato cracks his neck a few times, then glances at Isamu. "Okay, if you find yourself getting into some trouble, just give me a shout, all right? We can take these two. Although I'm sure the mayor, at least," Hayato looks to Haggar with a grin, "isn't going to give us an easy time about it." The teacher then slams his right fist into his left palm, his grin growing wider. "But there's only one way to find out, right?"
And with that, he's off. Given his profession, Hayato knows quite a bit about teamwork. It can be tricky in a fight. So for now, he'll just wait and see for a bit, and try to get a feel for how all the different fighters' skills interact with each other. Then he'll figure out what to do with Isamu. But in the meantime, Haggar presents a rather inviting target. And despite the fact that Haggar's chest is a solid wall of muscle, Hayato seems intent on opening the match by charging over and throwing a full body punch square into the center of the mayor's torso. Call it a greeting between men.

Looking towards Hayato, Isamu turns to face his comrade ebfore he nods his head. "Understood. You too." Isamu quickly reaches for his side, immediately flicking the stick out, which soon collapses into a longer pole. With the steel staff drawn out, Isamu steps forward with a lean while looking over towards Haggar and Raog.
Just as Hayato is moving towards Haggar, Isamu knows who he has to focus on to prevent his partner from being attacked. While double-teaming Haggar is an option, it is more of dealing with the other individual. Isamu sprints towards Raog instead. With the distance closed in, he lifts the staff up and he swings it over his head to draw the staff up and he kneels low. He sweeps the staff low, aiming to sweep her off of her feet.
Literally.

Hayato and Haggar were both on Raoghnailt's mind. She could just feel how powerful both men were. And fighting over a gourgeous woman like her! She would have blushed, except she was already pretty flush from the few drinks she had. They were almost as strong as Urien! And her big partner had that same, sensual air as her father.... mmm.
A tiny flicker in the nightclub was approaching her, tearing Raoghnailt from her fantasies. "Hm?" She begins, not turning towards Isamu. She couldn't get a good read of the individual's force. The target was endowed, at the very least, with some spiritual strength, but he did not hold the same force as the other two. As the billowy aura dives down low, she knows exactly what was going on. Digging her cane hard into the ground, she spreads her weight apart. The cane smashes into her ankles hard and painfully, stumbling her slightly, but not knocking her down in the very least. "EEEK! Wa ye wee... Ah pure techt, guid shot!" Raoghnailt forces a grin as her body suddenly erupts into a great column of pale, blue light. The light dances off her body like fire, flickering slowly. The ethereal light flows into her cane, giving it a denser, more energized appearence.
Smiling softly, she pushes off her cane, sweeping it in a great, diagonial slash upwards. She wasn't aiming for any point on Isamu's body; rather, she was aiming for the center of his aura. The cane itself would hardly hurt, short of being smacked with a cane. The chi that flowed into the cane, however, would prove itself dangerously sharp, able to cut past the skin and tissue all the way to the very aura within. After the first slash, she would step forward, bringing the cane downward again in a powerful downward slash.

Haggar's right arm intercedes, sweeping out and catching Hayato's fist on a hardened muscle. I looked up the names of the forearm muscles, but they're shit like 'flexor carpi radialist' and 'abductor pollicis longus' and 'brachioradialis', nothing awesome like GLUTEUS MAXIMUS, so screw being more specific. The Mayor barely moves, his other hand already sweeping forward. "Careful with that guy!" Haggar supplies to Ruuhouarlier.
Feet planted, Haggar tries to batter Hayato off-balance with his left arm just long enough to free his right arm and bring it to bear - enfolding the BURNING PHYS ED TEACHER in a crushing bearhug, hauling him right up off his feet. "Let's see how this one goes, eh?" Haggar has not had the best record against Hayato.
His head hauls back, telegraphing the move for the benefit of the audiences at home, and he drives his skull forward at Hayato's forehead. Instinctively, he stomps one foot with each attempted impact - but unlike his pro wrestling days, he isn't pulling his punch at all. One! Two! Three! Four! Five!

Once Haggar has him in a bearhug, there's not a whole lot Hayato can do other than take a deep breath and try his best to push out with his arms to avoid being crushed. But at least when it comes to dealing with a headbutt he's still able to move his neck. It's not much, but it does allow allow him to let Haggar connect with the top of his head instead of his face. Something to be appreciated, even if it still leaves his ears ringing.
Now, breaking Haggar's grip once he's got his arms around you is not an easy thing to do. But Hayato is at least able to move his arms a little bit, and manages to shift them enough to get a grip on Haggar. And then he can try to take advantage of Haggar's height by pulling up and bending over backwards, secure in the knowledge that if everything goes properly the mayor's skull will hit the floor before his does. Perhaps, though, Hayato should reflect that while he has some experience with a variety of sports, including wrestling, Haggar was actually a /wrestler/.

There was a bit of fear in dealing with the woman. She was blind, it seemed. On one hand, there is something wrong with fighting a blind person. On the other hand, it for all that Isamu knows, she could be a friggin Zatoichi who would hack him up to bits. She managed to block the strike with the cane, but at the price, the impact does hurt her quite a bit.
Isamu stares at his opponent well when she readies the cane once more. The diagonal slash comes forth from the cane, which Isamu is moving his body away from. However, there is the feeling of something -tearing- through the core of his body from the skin to the inner tissue as the aura actually strikes true.
His eyes widen in bewilderment when he realizes that she just nearly tore him apart with just a slash of the cane. The cane was not sharp.
"...Your spirit..." His eyes narrow, "Strong, but very dangerous."
Isamu quickly lunges forward, twirling the staff like a windmill as he takes several steps towards the woman. As the staff is rapidly twirled, Isamu takes a step forward and the blunt weapon keeps on smacking out against her.

Raoghnailt 0/-------/---====|-------\-------\0 Hayato
Raoghnailt's spirit was a weapon. It was augmented, processed, and shaped into something unnatural. Not that Raoghnailt would note this. She finds herself more in tune with the natural and spiritual world, the world unseen. She might an abomination to some, much like some of the modified humans found in NESTS. On the other hand, as G-Project would state, she is just a human pushed to the next evolutionary step.
On the other other hand, she was still blind.
"Ah ken, isnae it? Yer isnae bad either. Sae whit is yer nam- gah!" She exclaims right up until Isamu lunges in. Raoghnailt's reflexes were far from perfect; in fact, they were a bit sluggish. Her primary strength laid in her overwhelming power, not her agility. Or accuracy, for that matter. With the staff twirling, the scottish lass is simply unable to defend against the onslaught. She is struck several times, each blow seeming to make her... glow bright.
By the end of the combination, the blue light that enveloped her was beginning to reach out for Isamu as well. "Och! Ye spoon! Haggar, dearie, want tae trade? Thes buir is bein' a real rude." She coos in a light Scottish brogue, reaching a hand out for Isamu in tandem with her aura. Tendrils of light were arcing for Isamu, Raoghnailt using them to help guide her to where Isamu was weak. She was looking for the soft pathways in Isamu's chi. If she could get a grip on the heart of his aura, she would pinch these passageway hard with a powerful press of his pressure points. The resulting strike would cause his chi to erupt from his own body, using his own energy against him.

Haggar gets lifted, and as he's going up, he has an /idea./ His hands shift off Hayato's back, wrapping around his arms. He carefully controls his balance as he goes up. Hayato can probably figure out that something might be about to go horribly wrong.
As Hayato swings Haggar back, he swings his feet down, trying to catch himself right on the soles of his boots. Unfortunately, he needed exact timing, and Hayato has a meaner suplex than he gave him credit for. He fails the D-D-DOUBLE BRIDGE, head smacking painfully into the ground, Haggar growling as he disengages, rolling back and coming shakily to his feet. "That ain't the best'a ideas, R..rrr... Rogue." Close enough.
Haggar resettles himself, glancing over at the other two. "Trust me, he's on a different level!" Haggar starts to circle, trying to keep himself from getting separated.
It doesn't seem likely that Haggar is going to need to protect Raoghnailt from Hayato in the near future, at least. Hayato quite enjoys the chance to fight a strong opponent like Haggar, especially one who's not into things like stabbing people or stomping them into a bloody smear after they stop struggling. And Raoghnailt is... well, drunk and blind. Still, this is supposed to be about teamwork, so if Hayato sees a chance to help Isamu out he should probably take it. But for now he's still having fun.
And now that he's done a bit of wrestling, perhaps it's time for Hayato to move toward something where he might have a bit more of an edge over Haggar. He flips his shinai around in his hand twice, then with a wide grin on his face he lunges at Haggar. He strikes out with a quick series of strikes at the mayor's heavily muscled torso, before sweeping the shinai up in order to slash it down toward the point where Haggar's neck meets his shoulder.

"Isamu is the name. Please fight your best."
There is a frown on the face of the young man when the woman calls him a real rude person. Honestly, making a conversation in the middle of a battle? This is a fight. If anyone is being rude, it is her. The match is to support the people, the chatting can go after the fight. Honorable combat and pleasantries are to be separated. THis is something that bothers Isamu. Some of the fighters are nonchalant about their skills. It is a puzzling deal.
When Isamu notes her trying to reach over towards the hands along with her aura extending out, Isamu can feel the sting before she piches the passage out of the pressure points. In response to that, Isamu is utilizing his chi to manifest around him. As a thunderous gale explodes around him, Isamu utilizes his strength and will to break from the grasp of her energy.
Then, Isamu steps forward to release that chi to enhance the force of the punch as he expels both palms out against the abdomen of the woman.
"KIYA!"

Raoghnailt seemed relax. She seemed completely calm with her skills. That was because, in a way, she was aloof about it. Why should she be so excited by her power? She was, in fact, better than everyone, so why underline it?
The counter-attack that Isamu unleashes comes in the form of a chi blast. Not in the popular sense, no. But to Raoghnailt, she sense the shift in aggression, and she responds. Sweeping her cane around and her free arm around, she twists her body as the punch is unleashed. The blow strikes powerfully, but not where it should. She still winces.
"Ah ken he is abune mah level, but Ah want tae brin' heem doon tae mah level!" She snaps over at Haggar as she steps back a good distance, her crocs thumping on the fight floor lightly. And with the drink still in her heart, she starts to ramble to Isamu. "Weel, anyways, Ah am raoghnailt, braw tae meit ye! aam twenty-tae, single, an' quite th' ceilidh lassie. aam also a bit blin', but 'at doesnae pure techt Ah hae standards. 'spikin ay standards an' bein' single, hoo auld ur ye? ye soond quite th' catch!"
As she rants, she begins to sweep her free hand over the air. The blue light that was enveloping her suddenly springs to life, cascading from her hand all the way to void before her. She begins to craft a strange symbol in the air, a sort of irregular, patterned spiral. More and more of her aura pours into the work, causing it to with enough energy to brighten the entire room. "Ur ye oan th' markit? mebbe we coods shaur puckle drinks efter th' barnie!" She prattles off as she draws her hand back, and swiftly taps into the symbol. With an explosion of light, a single, dense beam of pale blue-grey light tears across the field directly for the heart of Isamu's aura. Should it strike, well, you remember how her cane could strike.

Haggar bulls his way through Hayato's sequence of strikes, raising a set of bruises beneath his tanktop, clapping his hands on Hayato's shoulders in a classic wrestling clinch just as the last hit slams into his shoulder. It starts to bloom an angry purple, the Mayor wincing... and then he leans in toward Hayato, speaking low:
"Can you understand a /damn/ thing she's saying? What the hell is a ceiling lass?"
Haggar tries to wrench Hayato around, using him as a pivot to put his back to Isamu and Ruughlachhhhht. Hayato might get a glimpse of what Haggar's planning to do as he glances over his shoulder, lining up a shot. "Sorry 'bout this," he grins at the teacher - now's a good time to remember that Haggar is a great man, but he is not always a good man. /His/ crucible was a series of brutal gang fights, and sometimes he does things like hammer his heel backwards, aiming for the small of the unsuspecting Isamu's back.
If he could, Hayato would shrug again in response to Haggar's question, but his shoulders are somewhat occupied. "I really have no idea. I just didn't want to say anything to draw attention to her speech impediment." A brogue? Is that like... a pastry or something? Hayato spies Haggar kicking out backwards, but it takes him a moment to realize what his aim actually is. Unfortunately, Hayato is on completely the opposite side of the kick, so there's not much he can do except try to hold Haggar back as much as possible.
Haggar may have started the clinch, but that doesn't mean Hayato can't keep it going. He maintains a grip on the mayor, just trying to hold him in place and perhaps at least slightly reduce the damage to Isamu. This is not an easy task, as should be clear if you have ever taken even a brief glance at Haggar. But what Hayato lacks in muscles (not that it's /that/ much!) he makes up for in Burning Spirit. Hayato's eyes blaze, and then a moment later his whole body does, energy radiating off of his body as he grips the mayor tightly. "Hey now, doing something like that could be mighty dangerous. Leaving yourself open to attack."

Both alms strike over towards the staff, then the young man starts to straighten his stance. WHen he looks over at the woman with a sweatdrop. The young man offers a faint smile. "Ahh..." He frowns slightly, "I apologize, but... I am a married man." It is true, Isamu -is- a catch. This is why he is married. And as such, Isamu is very loyal to the person that he is married to.
When she manifests the blue light that springs to life, time seems to stop for Isamu. Why? Well, there is the sense that Haggar is coming over from behind. He has a -split second- to make a decision of what to do. Isamu immediately launches himself underneath the explosion of light, swaying away from the dense beam from striking him. The lanky form zooms past her, right into the incoming foot of Haggar. Isamu was shifting his stance to take the foot that strikes his stomach instead of the back.
Urgk...
Grit teeth. A grin comes forth before he looks up towards Haggar. "...He's right... you're leaving yourself opened." The wind becomes a powerful gale before the aura manifests along Isamu. Isamu forces the right hand upward to strike at Haggar's gut, utilizing the chi surrounding him to launch Haggar off of the ground and soaring into the sky.
"ho ye?"
"HO YE!?"
There is another flare of energy as Raoghnailt shifts all of her attention across the bow towards Hayato. She was barely containing her rage, for she had heard EVERY WORD OF THAT. Unlike what Haggar and Hayato must go through, she can understand all too well. Ignoring the fact that her attack arched over Isamu, she flashes up a finger, snapping towards him. "Hauld 'at thooght, handsome, an' cowre yer lugs. ye main be a merrit cheil, but ye dornt deserve whit ye ur in th' wey o hear!"
Storming towards the high-school gym teacher, her cane was flailing about, burning with a bright white fire. She was practically shrill screaming at Isamu, keeping with her sweetly soft voice."aur ye callin' me glaikit? ur ye sayin' Ah am disabled? unable tae tak' caur ay myself? wa ay aw th' things. ye ur a dobber ay a cheil, an' a boak pile ay oozin' slime foond in Glasgee. ay aw th' cock-suckin', ball-splittin', pieces ay jobby. yer maw was a whoor', yer faither was 'er pimp, an' ye waur th' danglin' bit ay a dobber 'at was spit it in th' end! ye ur gonnae gie it, asshole! aam gonnae tak' ye it back, an' make ye bleed ice frae yer god damned anus. ye ur gonnae suck doon a whole whoopin', an' by th' time aam dain wi' ye, ye will be a limp-wristed son ay an arsewipe! ye ur gonnae be uglier than a six-fit buckit ay herrings runnin' it ay th' gizzard ay a drunken narwhal!"
Cane flailing, she unleashes a drunken frenzy of blows at Hayato, cursing and spitting the entire time.
Haggar doesn't have a lot of time here - he realizes once his foot hits Isamu that the boy was ready for it, pulling it back rapidly and shoving his boot against Hayato, breaking the clinch with pure force. He can feel Isamu's chi at his back, and he stomps across the short distance at Hayato, clasping his hands together.
The mayor briefly pauses, frowning over his shoulder at Ruuhalchgiit. "Watch your language, young lady." He's absolutely sure some of that was vulgar.
Then he whips across at the focusing Hayato, smashing both of his forearms down at Hayato's body, whipping all of his weight into it - and gracefully turning at the end of it to face whatever Isamu's about to do head-on--!

Hayato is still unable to make out most of what Raoghnailt is saying there, but he's able to understand enough of it. "Hey! No, I didn't mean- ow!" He twists aside so that mostly his back is facing her, letting her blows rain down on parts of his body that are more resistant to damage than the softer targets she might prefer. That doesn't work quite so well with Haggar, since his blows always go right down to the bone.
But Hayato stands his ground (although his spine might be slightly shorter now), since he sees what Isamu is doing. And despite the pain shooting down his entire body, he's able to act swiftly as Haggar turns around, pivoting his body to slam a burning foot squarely into Haggar's back with the intention of launching him forward and up right into the blast of chi coming from Isamu's direction.
"... an' aw 'at an' yer maw!" Came the cry as Raoghnailt wound down her frantic flailing. Staggering for breath, she stands there as... A whole lot of energy comes piling into that piece of beefsteak known as Haggar. "By th' beard ay th' stoatin auld cheil!" She exclaims, twisting her body around. It was too late. Both Hayato and Isamu were diving into poor Haggar. Raoghnailt might have wept, if it weren't for her strong spirit and composure. "OCH! Ah can almost weep!
Gripping the handle of her cane, she storms after the frantic flurry of auras. Energies were cascasing into energies, a wild frenzy of chi burning into chi. She was flying off the ground now, charging through the air. She was diving for the weaker of the two, the one she could identify as Isamu. Diving like an avenging angel, she was going directly into this Charlie Foxtrot of a melee, hacking her chi-laced cane right into the spiritual one.
"Kaoghae!" She chirps, imitating Isamu's own kiya.

People who aren't from Metro City see Mike Haggar in his suit, giving a speech, and sometimes they let themselves forget. They dimly know of what he has done, but it's not real to them. There are skills you pick up in that kind of fight, with your life - and that of everything dear to you - on the line.
Haggar spins around away from Hayato after his strike, and realizes his mistake, Isamu's wave of chi pillaring just behind him, just out of his own reach. Which would mean... "HOOOOREAAAAGHHHH!" Haggar strains, twisting on his ankle, guessing as to what's coming next and praying he has it right. If he knows how Hayato fights--!
Like a miracle, the Mayor's hand closes onto Hayato's ankle inches away from impact, stopping him with such abruptness that a radical shockwave of air blows out from the two of them, knocking spectators over. The floor under Haggar's feet cracks. Sweat dripping down his face, Haggar grins up at Hayato.
He twists, hauling Hayato up over his head by his ankle, arm pumping as he spins him once in a full circle over his head before hurling him away, over the heads of the rapidly-parting crowd - and diving away from the pillar of chi in the same motion. The enormous man hits the ground, rolls right up against the divider, and thrusts one muscular arm into the air, finger pointed upward. "Hoooyeah!!"

This is not what Hayato was expecting. His foot stops dead like he was kicking a giant block of lead. But he doesn't remain still for long, as Haggar quickly whips him into motion. The wind whistles past his ears as he's spun around and around and then suddenly sent flying off. He sees people passing underneath him, but he doesn't have long to dwell on it because a moment later he hits a wall, leaving a large dent in it, then crashes to the floor.
It's a few moments before the teacher returns to the fight. His return can be tracked, however, by the disturbance in the crowd as he shoves his way through. Eventually he makes it back to the other fights, giving Haggar a huge grin. Even with some blood trickling down his face. "That was incredible!" And with that he's back and running toward Haggar once more. Once he's cleared the crowd of people he's able to leap forward, twisting his body to give it a bit of a spin. His shinai, held out in front of him, bursting with blazing chi that becomes a blur of energy as the teacher spins toward the mayor.

Isamu had to remain calm in this match. It was quite a feat that Haggar managed to take the combined efforts of the two and in fact, managed to drive himself in hurling his partner out towards the crowd. It's like a trainwreck. That was amazing. Isamu cannot help but to stare at that. Yet, he frowns, knowing that Hayato may not be in too good of a shape.
He needs to help his partner.
But then there is the fact that Raog is coming forth with her own strike. Isamu shifts his stance to see her coming at him, and he immediately takes the chance of taking off of the ground and he shifts his body forward. Both hands press over her shoulder before he pushes himself off of her.
"Sorry, can't afford to be taken down now."
With the push off, Isamu is twisting into the air before he comes down towards Haggar. When he lands towards the ground, the hands are moving in a windmill motion. He takes three steps forward, making his movements like a dance.
He lifts his right hand up, manifesting a burst of chi to blast from the ground. As the chi rises from the ground, it takes the shape of piercing sword as it rends towards Haggar.

"In th' nam ay th' faither, hauld still fur me!"
Raoghnailt's strike takes nothing but air as Isamu continues to weave and dodge. She could keep following him, but she just couldn't get a bead on him. She needed help, and she knew it. She considered her options as her body burned with that great ethereal fire, her power levels quite possibly nearing 9000. Her partner might be a help, but would Haggar be enough? She felt that Isamu was beginning to charge up with Hayato, building up to full force.
Suddenly, a cunning scheme formed in her mind, or rather, around her.
Shuffling quickly towards Isamu, her blue-white aura suddenly flashes outward, filling the area around her with a pale, misty haze. Isamu would find that his motions would be slowed down, his windy chi beginning to defuse. Raoghnailt continued to move forward, interposing herself between Haggar, her hand struck straight out. The sharp blade of wind grew soft as Raoghnailt attempted to absorb it, drawing forth it's energy into her. In theory, it would have worked. In practice, the energy explodes in front of her hand, buffeting both her and her hand with a howling whirlwind of raw, chaotic chi. But the scottish's girl face did not show pain… but joy.
"Oh Haggar!" Raoghnailt began, calling over to her teammate with a broad grin. The whirlwind of wind chi suddenly grows focused, mixing with her own blue-white aura. She releases her cane, letting it dangle off a small strap around her wrist. Her hands began to weave with the clutched energy in front of her, continuing to face towards Isamu. A great pattern of spirals and triangles began to manifest in the air in front of her, a great seal about three feet in diameter. The symbol begins to howl and blow, pushing Raoghnailt's long red hair back as it glows with an azure light. She cries out to her partner again. "Ye big strang american ye! Ah need help aimin', sae woods ye be a dear... an' hauld heem still?" Raoghnailt lets both chi burn in the air, letting Isamu make his move. He could run as far as he would like.
Haggar would be Raoghnailt's eyes for this next strike.

The Mayor posts back up to his feet after the trademark HOOYEAH, rolling his shoulders and shooting Hayato a fierce grin. Sweat darkens his black tanktop, rolling down his arms, and he slaps his chest with both hands before settling down into his stance. "If you liked that one--" he starts, charging at Hayato regardless of the FLAMING SWORD. His fingers flex, the leather of his gloves creaking faintly. "Bring it!" He throws his chest out, trying to bull right through Hayato's technique.
Shinai meets pectorals, and for a moment, the two forces of nature struggle. A few people in the nightclub, no doubt soused on drugs and alcohol, swear a small pendulum appeared above the two of them, a giant green A superimposed upon their bodies. The buttons flickered rapidly, as if hammered by the fingers of gods, the pendulum struggling between Haggar and Hayato, slowly... but inexorably... swinging toward the mayor. With a crash, the pendulum and As shattered, and the next thing they saw was the wrestler hurled backwards amidst a burst of flame.
Haggar trails fire as he shoots all the way to the divider, bending painfully back over it until it gives way under him with a loud snap, Haggar growling out in pain. He shoves himself up, a furious red burn across his chest - tanktop burned entirely away - just in time to see Raoghnailt punch Isamu's attack out or... or something. Chi people, whatever. "Whew... lifesaver... arright Rrr... arright, girl, on my mark!"
The Mayor has no intention of /holding/ Isamu still. There are way better ways to do this. Ignoring the agony in his chest and abdomen, blisters bursting, he hops once and stomps the ground, flinging himself upward in a somersault. For an instant, he hangs in midair, unfolding his body, hands clenched over his head. There's a flicker of blue light.
Then Haggar streaks forward and down, bee-lining right for Isamu, hands crushing all the way to the ground. It craters beneath him, and if the young man has the poor fortune of being between him, the impact will hit with such tremendous force as to bounce him off the ground up into the air...
"Above me!"

It looks like Isamu is in some big trouble. He's about to get blown up and squished, and Hayato can't let that happen. For the replay they're surely going to show this in slow motion. Hayato sees what's going down, and he runs toward Isamu to prevent it as best he can. He leaps toward his partner, and all it's lacking is a shout of 'Nooooo!' He collides with Isamu, pushing him out of the way just as everything explodes.
Hayato gets smashed into the floor then bounces back up to be exploded, going tumbling aside before rolling to a stop on the floor. But even after all of that he still manages to shove himself back to his feet. "Not... bad. Not bad! But not enough!" There's still a fire in the teacher's eyes. And he ignores the ache in his entire body to go charging right back toward Haggar. "It's not over yet!" He leaps toward the mayor, extending his foot for another Burning Kick. Sure, the last one didn't go to well, but hey, try, try again, right?

There is a bit of surprise. When Isamu had stepped forward to release a maneuvering dance, he had his energy diffused by the power of the woman. This does shock the young man, who stares wide-eyed to see the bits of the power fading away. This woman is -strong-. His eyes shift towards the blind woman, addressing her with a focused glare. There is no malice behind it, but he definitely has to watch his back.
Unfortunately, he was not watching himself -enough-. He stares in pure shock when he realizes that Haggar is coming towards him from the air.
Like a deer in headlights.
That is, until Hayato knocks him away, sending him rolling along the ground, "Ooof!" He grimaces after skidding, then he trudges himself up. He rubs his forehead, furrowing his eyebrows.
Shock steps in when Hayato is caught in the middle of what would had been a devastating strike against him. "D-amn..." But when he gets up to his feet, Isamu looks amazed when he sees Hayato's spirit up.
Now, to give the woman some attemption. Twirling his staff from the side, the stick extends out to a long staff before he starts moving towards her direction. He aims to jab the staff towards her form, then he keeps having the staff jabbed out rapidly. The speed is accented by the chi that makes it a quick multitude of strikes, aiming to have her attention focused on him.
Nevermind that she can't _SEE_ the staff, per se.

"Up!"
aoghnailt strikes the seal, tapping into the chi building up. The seal explodes, unleashing a powerful blast of pale blue-grey energy... and a gale of wind. Hayato is blown clear away. Raoghnailt titters, covering her mouth. "Braw teamwork, haggar! aam sure Ah will hae tae ~pay ye back later~" There is even more giggling as Raoghnailt snatches her cane again. Her aura was all gone now, blown away with the great explosion. But she could sense Isamu coming straight for her. She was almost shivering with Antici
. . .
Pation
But not seeing the staff makes all the difference. The first blow of the staff stuns Raoghnailt just enough to keep her off-balance, allowing the rest of the blows come hammering in. The chi barely grazes her skin; in fact, it seems to only feed her own strength. Her aura flashes with a gust of wind, intermingled with that light. "Ye! ye waur supposed tae be th' a body taken up! weel, 'en, Ah suppose ye want tae experience some ay mah true power, huh!" Raoghnailt arches her back a bit, and flattens her cane parallel to the ground. Sweeping it back a bit, she balances on the back of her feet, and gracefully lunges forward, attempting to stab Isamu with the tip of her cane. The cane not being the focus of the damage... but the blast of wind and bone-cutting light that was now coming with it.
Raoghnailt was feeding off of Isamu's chi.
Haggar starts to stand from the Violent Axe, concrete dripping from his hands, and has to stop partway, bracing his hands on his thighs. "Heh. Jumpin' in like that, with a hit like that /anyone/ woulda--"
But Hayato keeps coming on. Haggar bows his head, laughing. "Stubborn kid!" he exults, legs tensing. Hayato's foot surges up at him, and the wrestler attempts to roll to the side, hand sweeping around as he does so. He almost makes it, but Hayato connects solidly onto his shoulder. Blisters race up the skin as he's slammed down onto his back.
Spots swim up in his eyes, but he refuses to stop just yet. "Hrrrnght!" His legs - built like Greek architecture - snap up, trying to hook Hayato's legs and drag him to the ground as well - which is only the beginning. Hauling himself up, if Hayato is downed, Haggar will scoop the teacher up and fling him skyward, one finger thrust up.
"Roll... the dice!"

A surge of adrenaline courses through Haggar's veins, and he lets out a roar as he springs up after Hayato. "GAMBLE---!" He catches him, twisting him around and upside down, pulling both legs up. Without the pomp and circumstance of the legendary Spinning Piledriver, he slams to Earth Hayato-first.
But that's not the end. His legs flex again immediately, briefly releasing Hayato. A cool breeze crosses his face, a moment's respite - and then Haggar is on him again, flipping his body around as easily as he does a rag doll, holding him parallel to the ground. He drops to the ground once more, dead-center in the fighting area, in a kneel with the small of Hayato's back stretched out over one enormous knee. He pops him up, flipping the teacher into the air, spreading his arms wide.
"---SLAM!"
Haggar finishes with a flourish, jumping up to repeat the backbreaker in midair, carrying Hayato all the way to the apex of his flight before releasing. He lands hard, bouncing once on his feet before dropping to his knees, breathing hard. For a moment, he looks about to pass out... but he doesn't.
At some point during those repeated slams into the ground or Haggar's knee, Hayato's Burning Spirit just ceases to be enough to keep him going. Once he's released he falls to the ground, and then just rolls limply to a stop on the floor. He's clearly lost conciousness. But he's still got a grin on his face. He may need to see a chiropractor afterwards, but fighting Haggar is always something right up Hayato's alley.
It probably won't take long before the fight organizers realize that Hayato isn't going to be getting back up.

Now, it was a middle of the fight that Haggar and Hayato were still going at it. Isamu had marked his attention on Rao, who was coming towards his direction. When she jabbed the cane towards Isamu, the young man immediately has the staff drawn downward. Then, he uses it to propel him off of the ground. At the same time, there is a ripple of the skin and the tissue as power slices against it.
Although Isamu is receiving the blow from the cane's chi, he spins around into the air with a rolling flip. Then, he slams the staff down towards the woman's head with a powerful strike.
...Yet, his attention is stolen when he sees Hayato's action. "...Damn..." He pauses everything he is doing, already knowing that they lost.
"Wa ye wee jobby!" Raoghnailt bites, still smiling like a blond as Isamu counters with his own slam to the head. She is reeling, but furious now. She did not even notice that Haggar and Hayato were through. All she knew was that Isamu just hit her. Hard. Her aura was building up now, a regular windstorm erupting around her as she begins to be enveloped in a pale blue light. Pointing a finger at the frame of Isamu, her eyes began to pure with raw energy, a white light piercing through her blindfold. "Looks loch ye ur gonnae coopon a real cuttie gonnae-no noo, arenae ye-"
"Hoot. H-hoot."
Mr. Green softly hoots like a Great Horn Owl. Raoghnailt stops, turning her head a bit. That was the signal. When she heard the sound of owls, that meant to stop attacking. She had won effectively, and now she had to present herself as a sweet little angel. Not that she wasn't an angel. But she had to mug it up for Alma and Company. Dropping her finger, she smiles sweetly, the windstorm and light beginning to die down. "Weel, isamu! it looks loch we hae won fair an' squaur! Ah clearly dinnae hae tae lat at ye anymair! in fact, Ah wulnae coz Ah want tae. 'at is coz Ah am sic' a braw bodie. dornt ye agree? noo shake mah hain in a degree ay sportsmanship. in fact..."

Haggar stays on his knees, sweat dripping from his body as the fight is called. Slowly, he removes a fist from the ground, reaching up to smooth his mustache down, and then pumping his hand in the air before sinking back, shifting his legs out from under him.
With one eye closed, he squints at Rahgsldgnasgoiansgoanllttt, looking like she's not going to finish fighting just yet. He starts to stand...
His eyes snap to Mr. Green. Hmm. Oh well, not his problem right now. The Mayor sinks back down, head tilted up, half-grinning. "Nah, y'know, I think m'good." She seems like a decent enough sort, but... Haggar always listens to his instincts. His gaze tracks over to Isamu, and he gives him a slow nod. "Good fightin', kid."
There is a faint smile coming from Isamu, looking over toward Raognailt, "Perhaps another time." His eyes are slowly drawing over towards the unconscious Hayato. Isamu is walking towards his collapsed partner with a frown. "We did good." He gives a faint smile, then he looks up towards Haggar.
Wow, that is a tall man. "Thank you. There is something that Isamu cannot help but muse over.
Didn't his wife use to live in Metro City? He shakes his head, dismissing the thought before he adds, "Both of you are strong opponents. I had the pleasure of fighting against you both." Now, he'll have to take Hayato to the medics.
Raoghnailt crosses her arms, her cane angling awkardly against her body. So much for her hug. She mutters to herself, under her breath. "Hmph. They ur probably baith bent." Mr. Green approaches her, taking her by the arm. "Come on, Raoghnailt." The agent states in a swedish accent. Quietly, he escorts her away. Not for the safety of the two, no.
RBecause she was probably going to hit the bar again.
