Description: Rock thinks he's going to be challenging Maki Genryuusai for the lead of the Neo League. Maki thinks Rock is challenging her for the lead int he Neo League. Vega thinks they're -both- wrong.
Ingrid arrives from elsewhere.
Rust arrives from elsewhere.
The Neo League has, since its inception, been one of the handiest tools around for fighters who just like to fight--for money, for experience, just to feel the joy of battle. The tool put in place by Ken Masters has, at its core, a bunch of people and a bunch of computers making sure matchups happen, that they're recorded, that the feed is put out on the internet.
But even systems as foolproof as the Neo League's can be jammed up and gamed, and, though two of the fighters don't know it, that is exactly what has happened. Rock has only had one fight in the League, this go-around, but the League's just started--and he's tied for number 2. He doesn't like that.
So he put a call out, a challenge to Maki Genryuusai, the current #1 ranking fighter--and it was arranged. Time, date, place--so it is that Rock stands at one end of the Theater in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, the sun starting to sink low and orange on the horizon, as Neo League men set up their cameras and floodlights, as he awaits his challenged fighter. He doesn't know that word of his challenge has been spread to people other than the Neo League people...
Maki wouldn't have known that word of the challenge would've spread to other people either. It was more like a personal invitation for a challenge for who's really the best of the best in the Neo League. It was only recently that she took out Eagle in a fight in Transylvania that brought her to the top of the roster. It's not something that Maki brags about, though, since she's not in it to brag about her position to everyone. Instead, it's just a competition which Maki likes to partake in.
As Maki arrives at the opposite end of the theater, she begins to stretch out a little, warming herself up for the battle with Rock Howard, a fighter she's never actually met before, but has heard about. To think she'll be meeting a new fighter is one of the reasons Maki's eager to get this fight underway. As she spots Rock, she waves her tonfa to him and says, "You look like quite the formidable opponent, but don't think I'm gonna go easy on you!" She doesn't crack a smile in the least bit. Apparently, Maki's in a rather stern mood today.
It's almost as if the air itself... sours with an inaudible note as a third, uninvited, unannounced participant in the scheduled challenge steps out of one of the reaching shadows cast by the setting sun. A dark cloak covers his shoulders, conceals the broad frame and smooth, militaristic motions of the overlord of Shadaloo, his hat half-concealing his features, as the dark gleam somehow reaches pupiless eyes.
"'Champions...'" The call is sardonic, mocking at best, "Don't you have better things to do?" Fight schedulers can be surprisingly unresistant to Vega's... demands, and when and where is fairly simple information to extract. It does seem to please him a great deal, though. .... he /is/ pleased, right? Maybe not, as a dark gout of flickering, overly malevolent Psycho Power manifests in one hand, further tainting the feel in the ancient city.

The card in Rock's hand s crushed, crumpled by the fist that Rock makes. He was pretty intent before--when he sees Vega... "You," he says, his voice low, hard, angry. "The hell are you doing here... -you lost- in Thailand, don't you get it? You should've died then. You're just like my dad. You don't know when the hell to go home. Well, guess what, you thick-chinned asshole, you're going to go down today!"
He's facing Vega, but he turns his head to address Maki, "Look, I don't know who you are, but this guy? He's -bad news-. He's going to screw us the hell up if we're not quick about beating him into the ground. And he's going to come after you, too, so don't think cutting and running is gonna save you."
Rock finds his arms already up in stance, his body adopting the sort of bouncing, ready gait of a fighter, as he just out and out charges for Vega, a charge that turns into a smooth, horizontal lunge--Rock leading with his left elbow, intent on planting in the man's chest, then following up with a punishing right palm strike, flared with Rock's brand of purple chi--half fire, half wind.
Before Vega even makes his presence known, Maki can already sense that there's something not right here. Something's gone terribly wrong, or somehow, things are about to take a change for the worse. However you put it, though, it appears Maki's suspicions are perfectly correct. Because as soon as Maki hears that unmistakable voice of Vega, she turns towards it, and as she spots him, her eyes immediately narrow into the fiercest glare ever manageable.
"You dare show yourself here?!" Maki says, having encountered Vega at least once before firsthand. "You think you're the most powerful being in the world, but you don't scare me in the least!" With that, Maki rushes at Vega, and then abruptly transitions into a flying kick aimed directly at Vega.

Vega seems content, if disturbingly so, as both fighters turn on him. "You say that as if one battle decides the war." Nevermind, Vega, that is /was/ a war. Clearly, the scale was entirely insufficient. "You see things on a far too shortsighted basis, much like him." The lord of Shadaloo takes a fighting stance as Maki launches herself in, the flying kick colliding solidly with the reinforced, armor bracers worn by the dictator. There's a reverberating tone of metal, and Vega slides, feet leaving the ground momentarily, with the force of the blow, shifting towards Rock's assault with a wide, predatory grin, his cape lost off one shoulder.... and then /WHAM/, the younger Howard's elbow crashing solidly into Vega's chest, driving the overlord back and into the explosive strike that follows it, and Vega's armored shoulders crash hard into the wall of the ancient ruins, "Yesss... that is what you will need to rise above... this. I can sense it in you, /Howard/!"
Rock's red eyes almost glow with emotion--don't call it anger--after he lands the strike, using Vega as a backstop, ancient dust kicking up in a trail behind him. "You're /wrong/!!" he declares, with all the conviction he can muster, though there is that tiny, niggling edge of doubt... No. No doubt. He is /not/ his father's son. Rock watched Maki bounce off Vega's armor--but he struck a telling blow, and one he intends to follow up on.
And he'll go the same route as Maki did, taking two big running steps then leaping up, tucking into a neat ball, and attempting to, well, drop a hammer heel on Vega's head, throwing his left leg out and down in a long heel kick, throwing his shoulders back for more oomph.
Maki somehow bounces off Vega's armor, causing her to do the infamous 'ouch' dance by hopping up and down while holding her foot a few times. But that's only a brief thing, since the adrenaline flowing through Maki's body seems to quickly take her mind off of the pain that's in her sneakered foot at the moment. She recovers quickly and turns to face Vega, still scowling.
"You're tough, but you won't get me that easily!" Maki says to Vega, as she twirls her tonfa a few times. Almost as if she's trying to distract Vega long enough before she makes her next attack. It does seem to be her intention, in fact, since after a few twirls, Maki swings her tonfa upwards in a swift, powerful manner.

"Wrong?" Vega seems... well, unconvinced, to say the least, "It is you who are wrong, Howard... but I'm not telling you anything you don't know. This mindless quest hasn't exactly given you what you want so far, has it?" The overlord seems quite curious about this, though he could just be running through the various ways to inflict pain on the dangerous - and rather riled up - Rock, and his equally vehement compatriot.
It's Maki that proves to be Vega's downfall this time as the pair charge in on him, Rock's flying kick meeting a defense much like the one that hit Maki's, though this time the force is shoved into his opponent, pushing the attack wide with a grunt as the force impacts up along his arm. Twisting to face the tonfa-wielding enforcer, Vega takes one of the weapons clean in the face. That... may not have been what he forseen! "Hah. There.... purpose. I like it. Show me more." The cape's clasp is undone, the black, red-lined, flowing ceremonial garb cast aside with a practiced glide.
Well, at least he didn't get effed the hell up for his troubles, though the heel doesn't land with any sort of satisfying crunch. Rebounding slightly, he backflips, coming down in a brief crouch to absorb that kinetic energy, and then he pushes up to his feet. "What I -want-, scum, is none of your business! My father... thought he knew me. Thought he knew how to manipulate me. Well, he didn't. And you don't either. You can take your poisonous words and -stuff- them!" And his hands start glowing with that purple-white energy. "But I did learn something from my Dad, it's true. This one thing he taught me, it's actually come in handy--*just* for guys like you."
Sweeping his left arm out, he creates a small crestwave of power, hissing and sparking like a live thing, "I think you'll like it--it's called the REPPUKEN!" The last is shouted, more like a command than the end of a sentence, as he sweeps his right arm forward, unleashing more of that power, hissing along the ground at Vega, a chest-high, swirling wall of power.
Maki steps back a little after connecting with Vega, shaking her head at Vega. "You certainly aren't as powerful as I remember you being," She comments, not smirking in the least bit. "Have you gotten senile or are you just going easy on me because I'm a woman?" For the time being, that's all Maki does, as she stands by, watching Vega to see what he'll try.

"Hah. Of all the lessons Geese taught you, you retained /this/ as the central tenet?" Vega laughs derisively, despite the power of the blasting wave of chi. Dark flames erupt around his right, gloved hand and he steps back, anchoring one foot as a surge of dark power erupts through him, an invisible shockwave ahead of the tearing psychic energy itself, Rock's impressive conjuration ripping into the field and distorting outwards violently, as the overlord's hand tenses and his arm flexes.... and in the blink of an eye, that wave tears right /back/ along its conduit to the source, the ground suddenly awash with ragged waves of dark-hued reppuken.
"Not because you're a /woman/ fool." Vega clarifies in an impatient rumble, "Just because you are not a threat."

"Aw, damn, not you to--HNNF!!" The reflected projectile is... fast. Rock can't even begin to mount a defense; the impact is staggering, sending him stumbling back ten yards; when he comes to a stop, he makes a small show of wiping his mouth. "Heh. You think that's all I learmed from my dad, you're way wrong. The only thing I didn't take away from him was his willingness to do wrong. And that's just how I like it."
The red eyes narrow; now he's got a fair amount of distance from Vega, but that isn't a distance he likes... still, after that hit, he'd best be wary. It's coming to him, again, just how powerful and dangerous this man is, all in all. He starts moving again, circling around, taking a moment. "Keep a cool head, Howard," he mutters, to himself. "Don't let this feeb rile you up..." Well, that's a bit late for some self-help advice, but...

Meanwhile, Maki is done waiting for Vega to act. She decides that it's time to act right here and right now. "I'm not _just_ a woman, just so you know! In fact, generalizations like that REALLY piss me off!" Maki yells at Vega angrily. "But what does it matter to a creep like you?! Honestly, I don't think it means jack **** to you!"
At that, Maki takes off towards Vega, and then abruptly drops onto the tip of her tonfa. Like a whirlwind, she begins spinning around and around and around and around like a human whirlwind!

"You fight against who you are, Howard, without even knowing it. And still it drives your destiny, the world does try so very hard to amuse itself." Vega considers, a venomous, otherworldly note to the not-so-constructive criticism, white eyes burning with hateful power as he considers the son of the rival crimelord, the tyrant sneering angrily, "It /is/ amusing, really." Maki's spin-kicking charge comes to an end with a crouching guard, arm and kneeguard coming together to present a quickly adjusting response to the flurry of powerful kicks, deflecting much of the force outwards as he focuses his own considerable will into the active defense.
"/Not/ because you are a woman. Weren't you listening? Merely.... insignificant. I will show you. And this, Howard.... do not mistakes this for sadism...." Psycho Power blooms in a silhouette of burning, soul-rending evil energy, coursing around Vega as he suddenly launches himself through the air, propelled by the raw force of his demonic will. "This is just a /taste/!" the rending Psycho missile that is the Shadaloo overlord rips across the distance between them, as though he wanted to blast the young Howard right in two.

Rock is -not- cleaved in twain. But that's becuse he's now currently embedded in a pillar, the ancient stone cracked and dropping down in small clumps. It was a moment of intense, intense pain, followed by the duller pain of impact--and as Rock slowly peels out of the crater Vega just left him in, a cough racking his body as he falls on his hands and knees, coughing again, spitting out a gout of blood. Something is broken, that's for sure... and yet... he rises to his feet.
"Heh," he says, coughing out another splatter of blood. "That the best.. you got?" (Hint: No, it isn't.) "Ain't impressed... just 'cause you hit hard..." His red eyes flash, and despite the distance, he charges in at Vega, leading with a shoulder rush to knee combination...
Maki's spinning kick is blocked, and she finds herself going down to the round, although she manages to recover and roll sideways before getting into a standing position once again. She looks at Vega and says, "Well, if you wish to focus on him, then be my guest. I will be ready for you once you change your mind." With that, Maki closes her eyes and begins to focus internally, summoning her mental energies.

And Rock -slams- that shoulder into Vega's chest--where he hit earlier with his elbow. The knee follows up, and then it's a swift storm of attacks, hook punches and high heel kicks, nine attacks in all, the last a uppercut right to that big chin--keeping the dictator open just long enough for Rock to unleash a burning sphere of pure chi energy, hot, bright blue-white, exploding out from his fists--and leaving Rock's forearms smoking with that energy for a few residual moments.
Resilient. Vega would commend the prodigal Howard, but then... the young fighter proves just how strong he really is, surpassing the tyrant's guard in a swift, brutal moment. As Maki focuses her energy, Vega eats a veritable maelstrom of punishing strikes, driven right back into the /other/ side of the crumbling (and now more crumbling) stonework, crashing hard against the rock as that last blast of energy rips through him. Blood drips from the dictator's mouth, and a hearty, if pained laugh comes wheezing out as Lord Vega struggles to fully right himself, "More... than I expected, Howard. You two are... tenacious, at the least. I will remember that." An ominous, and seething promise.
Rock smiles, and it's not even close to friendly--just a baring of teeth. "That sheer cussedness... that's Dad's, too. And Terry's," he remarks. He's still aching, pained, but, as Vega has just noted, the kid is tenacious as hell. And unwilling to let go of momentum, as he continues forward. He doesn't have time to shout to Maki, to tell her to attack, but he trusts that she will--else Rock is throwing himself into the maw of danger solo.
This is not unusual for him, and he does so willingly. With Vega struggling to right himself, Rock comes in for a grab at Vega's head, looking to simply headbutt him right in the nose and push him backwards as Rock steps forward, to trip him and cost him his balance.
Maki opens her eyes to see that Vega is not faring very well in this battle at the moment. She simply shakes her head again and says, "Seriously, you should have knocked us both out cold. What is wrong with you?!" She's still scowling deeply, obviously having expected a bloody brawl from Vega, and instead she's barely even broken a sweat. "Looks like I'm going to have to join the battle again!"
With that, Maki dashes at Vega and attempts to deliver a swift tonfa strike as best as she can.

"Oh, give credit where credit is do, boy... after all, none of them know what you're capable of." That derisive note hasn't left Vega's voice, despite the words of respect. It's another thing that the tyrant tends to twist, and it's likely not the safest thing in the world to face off against. With a swift intake of breath, Vega brings forth a sudden surge of motion, shifting himself in a flickering instant with alarming alacrity, all but vanishing out of the space where Maki and Rock struck, "But we're not quite finished, /boy/!" That surge of motion carries to the offense, as Vega flies in at Rock from a sudden, high arc above them where he 'reappeared', driven by an armored kneeplate in a sudden, rocketing descent. It's intended as a flurry of his own: three brutal motions. The knee, the sudden chop that cleaves a psycho-powered chop at Howard's neck, and the palm that thrusts forward, suddenly erupting with concussive force that seeks to quite literally blow the young warrior away.

"Yeah, that's right. They don't know what I'm capable of. And--neither do YOU!!" Rock's missed grapple at least leaves him on his feet; he spins around, standing his ground... and throwing his arms up to intercept that dropping knee. It isn't a block--it's a -catch-, and Rock immediately uses that knee for leverage, leaping straight up and flipping over--to smash the toe of his boot straight into the back of Vega's skull.
He kicks off so hard he actually flips around in midair, rotating once before landing on his feet. He can't conceal the damage he's taken, but he looks unbowed and unafraid. "You're -done-, Vega. You've -been- done. Don't think I'm afraid of you. The world's seen your worst, and it wasn't enough, just like every other petty dictator out there." Bold words, but he's on his last legs, too...
Meanwhile, Maki finds that she's missed Vega completely, but then notices how Rock struck Vega really hard in that last encounter. "You're done for, Vega! But I doubt you'll accept defeat that easily!" In fact, Maki finds it very hard to believe that it's over, and keeps an eye on Vega just in case...

Vega's plans, foiled! Still, for a dictator defeated, he seems pleased with the outcome. In that creepy way that comes from the fact that he is basically pleased and angry and hateful all at once: and also, pushed to his limits for the moment, "There will be... another time. We are not finished.... 'discussing' your fate, Rock Howard." Pupiless eyes narrow at Maki, "But yours.... is already /decided/!" A hand pushes forward as Vega pushes to his feet, a crackling, dark, ragged sphere of Psycho Power surges across the distance between the overlord and Maki. As far as Vega can tell, /Rock/ isn't really in a position to give chase when he hurls himself skyward in a high arcing egress, seeking to flee for the higher levels of the canyon, and vanish into the darkening night.

"Nobody shapes someone else's destiny for them, only a person can decide their own destiny," Maki shouts, watching the flying blast of psycho power coming at her. She thinks she can avoid it if she times her movement just right. But unfortunately, it's bigger and moves faster than she thinks. The Psycho Shot strikes Maki directly in the stomach, knocking her backwards and causing her to land on the ground in a semi-conscious state.
The blonde haired ninja is obviously struggling to breathe, as that hit knocked the wind out of her, but that's just the beginning of it. Psycho power is more painful than it looks. It feels like Maki just got punched a dozen times in the stomach, and the punches were delivered by a fist big enough to punch her entire stomach in one blow. She writhes on the ground, teeth gritting in pain as she tries not to let the pain get the best of her. Eventually, though, she is able to get back onto her feet, albeit using her tonfa to prop herself back up. But Vega is finished for now.
In between recovering her breath and trying not to collapse again, Maki glares and says, "You were lucky, Vega. Next time, my tonfa is going to be what brings my next encounter with you to an end." She looks to Rock and gives him a thumbs up and a slight smirk. "This turned out rather interesting I must say. You proved to be a nice ally. Next time, though, it's you and me, and nobody's going to interrupt us, OK?" She winks at Rock before stepping back to grab a bottle of water from a nearby attendant.
