Neo League 901 - #905: Daniel vs Yuri

Description: Daniel makes a visit to the Kyokugen Dojo, who intends to take Yuri out. Unfortunately, it's not on a date! (Winner: Daniel)



The Kyokugen Dojo.

It was over a year ago since Daniel Jack was last knocking on the doors of this Dojo. That year ago rang in his mind clearly. Marco, the instructor, had caught him and his rival, Roland, stealing the sign of the Dojo. An insult so brazen, so horrific, that Daniel Jack ended up not only being beaten into a pulp once... but TWICE, the second by Robert himself. Daniel Jack normally did not want to start trouble like this. But he had a good reason. A very good reason.

Business.

The detective was wearing his Todoh-best. A full aikido uniform, with the ensignia of a Todoh Instructor on his back. The detective looked intense, as would any true student of Todoh. His wooden sandles clopped slowly as he walked on the path to the front of the dojo. All that cement floor. He had timed himself carefully to avoid showing up during one of the mass training sessions. Daniel Jack was confident in his abilities, but practical as well. Facing a small army was not something he was hoping for.

Or worse, facing Macro again.

Meanwhile, Yuri Sakazaki is practicing inside the dojo, using her unique style of Kyokugen Karate with her cheerful and playful attitude all the same. She's bouncing around while using the sparring dummy to keep herself in shape. In respect to the traditions of the dojo, while she wears her usual karate top and leggings, her feet are bare. This doesn't stop her from practicing with all her ability, though. In fact, it only seems to make her faster on her feet than anything.

That is, of course, untill she senses someone coming in, and she stops abruptly and looks around. "Hellooooooo? Is somebody there?" Yuri yells cheerfully. She's not sure who it might be, but she's hoping it's a prospective student looking to join the dojo. "If you want to come in, feel free!" She yells cheerfully.

Daniel walks into the open grounds of the Dojo, and sees only one student. This was going to be simple then. Straight-forward. The detective advances forward, his gaze burning intensely. It was a younger female, fairly perky. Likely one of the school-girls from one of the local schools.

The detective burned within.

His attempts in expanding Todoh-Ryuu into the local secondary school system met with failure. Also, with dolls bleeding all over him, and close encounters with Vega. Master Todoh fortunately forgot about that program, like so many programs, and Daniel just decided to let that was pass. He might need to reboot it after this.

Approaching the girl, the student of Todoh stops about 30 feet away, and straightens his posture fiercely. Crossing his arms before him, Daniel stares fiercely. "Young student of Kyokugen." The detective began. "I am one of the senior students of the masterful art, Todoh-Ryuu Kobojutsu. You may have heard from one of your instructors of our rival ways. I have come to rekindle our conflict between our two schools. Too long we have not fought to challenge each other, to test our own school's strengths. I, Daniel Jack, hereby am here to fight one of the students of Kyokugen. To see if even the lowest student is worthy to fight the masterful ways of Ryuhaku Todoh!"

Daniel Jack looks around.

"Are you the only student around, then?"

"Ryuhaku Todoh?!" Yuri's cheerful appearance abruptly turns into a fierce scowl. "The person who assisted in my kidnapping?! Just who do you think you are? Are you trying to rub it in or something? Or are you just trying to make fun of the Kyokugen style?" She folds her arms and sneers. "I really don't know if I should even be allowing you in here, honestly!"

Yuri pauses for a moment, thinking intently to herself, then she smiles suddenly and looks up, slipping her sneakers and socks on, oddly enough. Apparently, her father doesn't mind her doing this in the dojo sometimes. "Well, if you wanna fight with me, then that's your choice. But I'm warning you, I ain't going easy on you!" She gives a wink and a sly smirk.

Assisted in kidnapping?

Daniel Jack's face burned. His 'normal' business speech fell away to his casual, loose-lipped style. "Stop flapping those gums, Peaches. Ryuhaku Todoh has an wild streak ten miles long, but kidnapping? That's a real curt charge there. He would never back up and put the bill for a kidnapping of any Dick or Jane. And for a peach like you? No freaking way!" Mostly, as Daniel Jack added in his mind, for competancy issues. And forgetting to feed her. "It was probably just a misunderstanding. As for making fun of Kyokugen..." The detective uncrosses his arms. Stepping his right foot back, he positions his arms in front of him, preparing the defensive stance of Aikido, of Todoh-Ryuu Kobojutsu. He cleared his throat, regaining his temper. "Now, come on, young lady. I want to see what your instructors have taught you. Do not worry. You will not be harmed when I defeat you."

Daniel Jack motions with his hand. Come hither. And be destroyed.

"Won't be harmed when you defeat me?" Yuri shakes her head and gives Daniel a quick raspberry before adding, "Sorry, but I don't plan on going down that easily. When you learn what I've been taught, you're going to learn first-hand that it hurts more than you think!" She cracks her knuckles and then gets into her bouncy fighting stance.

And be destroyed? No way, Yuri isn't going to let that happen! "All right, here goes!" With that, Yuri brings her fist back and then lets fly with a blast of chi, aimed directly at Daniel.

COMBATSYS: Daniel blocks Yuri's Ko'ou Ken.

[  \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////////// ]
Daniel           0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0             Yuri


Daniel has few weakness. This is balanced by few strengths, but for a student of Todoh, any strengths were always far superior to the weaknesses. In this case, Kyokugen projectiles were a massive weakness. The detective was caught too flat-footed by the attack to unleash a proper Kasane Ate counterattack. He couldn't doge in time. Stuck between a rock and a Ko'ou Ken, the detective took the only way he saw: Deflecting the projectile. Drawing from his own inner chi, he 'catches' the blast, pushing back against it as it strikes him. The knockback begins to throw him off balance, and Daniel redirects the force around him. The blast burns his hands and forearms, but shoving it aside, the detective remains stable. Significantly slowed down, and in a bad place to attack, but stable.

"Impressive."

That is all that Daniel states before he begins to advance. Clearing a gap like that was difficult, but not impossible. He would give Yuri plenty of time to react, at least to the first blow. Closing in, he suddenly unleashes a single palm strike. Whether it made contact or not, would not matter. His other hand comes down into a hand chop. The first hand draws inward, and Daniel jabs forward with an elbow strike, before finishing the combination with a swing of a roundhouse kick. A combination not designed for speed, but power.

Just like what Kasumi taught him.

Daniel           0/-------/-------|=------\-------\0             Yuri


A very useful and powerful combination, but not useful if the attack is blocked. In this case, Yuri is ready and willing in terms of being ready to deflect her opponent's attack way. They do hit her indirectly, and causes a little pain, but compared to how bad that could've hurt, it's really trivial to Yuri. The fighter recovers immediately and looks up at Daniel, shaking her head.

"That just won't do!" Yuri says, still grinning. "Let me show you how it's done!" With that, Yuri bounces a few times towards Daniel before breaking into a run, and then attempting to deliver a kick to the stomach.

COMBATSYS: Daniel endures Yuri's Light Kick.

Daniel           0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0             Yuri


As the last kick is blocked, Daniel Jack winds back up again, as if he was still continuing the combination strike. When Daniel begins to fight, it was like an endless stream of attacks, relentless and vigorous. The Todoh Spirit was building more and more in his heart, and as Yuri begins to bounce back towards him, he keeps his wind up. His right hand raised high, flattened into a knife strike. Like the Kasane Ate, it began to burn with orange chi. But it seemed to be less of the projectile, and more of a fierce, melee strike. Daniel was focusing, charging.

And aiming.

As Yuri's kick strike Daniel in the stomach, it is like she hit a switch. The detective slams down his hand hard, aiming straight for the collarbone of the Kyokugen daughter. With enough force to break boards, cement blocks, and possibly entire skeletons, the detective brings down the combination of Todoh spirit and raw force.

And all the time, Daniel's kept grim and silent.

COMBATSYS: Yuri fails to reflect World's Greatest Hand Chop from Daniel with Saiha.

Daniel           0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0             Yuri


It seems that Daniel isn't content on being hit and waiting to counter attack. It seems that he wants to come right back at Yuri, which is perfectly fine with her. She's got a surprise for Daniel, in the form of an energy based reflector shield that Yuri intends to drive Daniel back with.

Big emphasis on 'intends to,' though. Since it doesn't quite work as well as Yuri hopes.

Instead, Yuri's hit and goes down to the ground, groaning in pain as she writhes on the ground for a moment. She then forces herself back up onto her feet, looking a little bruised and hunched over, but still retaining her fighting stance. "You're tough, I like that in a man!" The girl says, smiling a little.

As Yuri writhes on the ground, Daniel recovers, drawing back his left hand to his side. Already he was tensing his fist, building up chi energy for another strike. But as Yuri gives Daniel a warm comment... he can't help but hold back, just for a moment. "Thanks, Peaches. If I had a dime for every time a teenage girl told me that, I probably could afford the court costs." Daniel Jack always seems to bring out the worst in teenage girls. Marz. Malin. It was becoming very annoying.

As Yuri seems to be stable again, Daniel lashes out. Swinging his left hand over, a familiar, if weak, wave of chi rushed out. It was quick, and even sloppy. But Daniel Jack considered it one of his favorite strikes. With a roar, the short wave of energy arcs towards Yuri.

"KASANE ATE!"

COMBATSYS: Daniel successfully hits Yuri with Mikansei Kasane Ate.

Daniel           0/-------/---====|======-\-------\0             Yuri


As Daniel lashes out, Yuri braces herself in an effort to try to be able to move out of the way if the need should happen. Just when she thinks she sees an opening, she realizes too little too late that it's not going to work, adn she gets hit hard, going flying across the dojo floor and landing in a semi prone position. This time, when Yuri pushes herself back up for another go, she feels her shoulder and pulls away abruptly, yowling as she realizes she must have bruised it.

"Ouch! That smarts!" Yuri thinks to herself under her breath, before looking to Daniel and saying, "You're tough, but I'm not going down that easily!" With that, Yuri rushes at Daniel again, but this time she intends to deliver a rising upperuct, not unlike the Dragon Punch, but with Yuri's own 'personal' touch to it.

COMBATSYS: Daniel fails to counter Yuri Chou Upper from Yuri with Mad Jack Crack.
?!? Weird Hit! ?!?

Daniel           0/-------/--=====|=====--\-------\0             Yuri


Daniel Jack was many things. Even reckless, sometimes. The first Kasane often chained into a more powerful Kasane Ate. Daniel Jack was not a heavy hitter, and often relied on a series of weaker attacks chained into each other. Unlike most fighters, he could use many of his more exotic techniques longer, and without draining himself too much. There was a downside though.

Daniel had to keep reading his opponent.

Yuri was rushing at him while he was recovering. Daniel excepted a clean straight. At least, until she started to rise. Shifting from a second Kasane Ate, he began to shift into the defense throws that Kasumi taught him. But the shift turned into another shift, as Yuri stopped looking like Macro's style of Kyokugen into some strange new one. Daniel was caught between the second and third shift when Yuri simply strikes him. Hard.

Daniel is knocked up, and falls right back down. Sitting up, he rubs his jaw a bit. "Ouch! Freaking ouch! That -does- smart, Peaches. Do you self-teach yourself too?" He drawls, his eyes still bearing that grim, intense glare.

"Peaches? Who are you calling Peaches?!" Yuri asks, scowling. "Are you talking about my chest? Because if you are, I can assure you, any man who talks about my chest like that really feels it in the morning... and the morning after too!" She folds her arms and shakes her head. "Seriously, you've got a lot of nerve!" She then smiles and steps back, grabbing her bottle of water and taking a sip of it. "But if you really think you can talk like that about me, I'll let you have a free shot!"

COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.

[            \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  /////////////////////         ]
Daniel           0/-------/--=====|====---\-------\0             Yuri


Daniel Jack pulls himself up. "Personality, Peaches, Personality. You're a real peach, so that's what I'll call you. If I wanted to talk more about your Ts and your As, well, I wouldn't be a real gentlemen there, now would I. How about you give me your real name, sunshine, if you are so worried about your body image." Daniel Jack prepares to charge her... but she was drinking water. "I'll be a ten-cent dollar bill. You need a break already? I didn't know Kyokugen needed breaks like that." Sweat rolled down his brow. The student of Todoh needed a break too. But the detective had his own means of recharging.

Daniel Jack suddenly drives a fist into his hand. His body ripples a bit, and a blast of orange energy flows over him. The Todoh Spirit filled his body. "Alright, break time is over. It is time to unleash to TODOH MIGHT!" Daniel was no longer tired. He was back in the sack. He was charging again, rushing right for Yuri. With little regard for defense, the detective pounces, hands out to catch her. If successful, the detective would twist her right to the ground. A tackle augmented with the flow of inertia taught by the Todoh arts, Daniel would break his own fall using poor Yuri as his stunt pillow.

Pillows? Peaches? HOly smokes, Daniel, you aren't having MORE subtle innuendos, are you?

Daniel           0/-------/--=====|====---\-------\0             Yuri


If Daniel were successful, he'd definitely grab Yuri and throw her to the ground in his style. But Yuri isn't about to let that happen. She tenses up and blocks, waiting for the moment that he grabs her, and then uses her defense to keep herself planted on the ground. She struggles a bit, and it does hurt, but compared to what could've happened, it's nothing really.

"So you wanna get close and personal, huh?" Yuri says with a sly wink. "Well, why didn't you say so?" She then makes her point clear by throwing a swift uppercut.

COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Daniel with Medium Punch.
- CRAZY Hit! -

[               \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////////////////          ]
Daniel           0/-------/=======|====---\-------\0             Yuri


As Yuri keeps upright, Daniel is in a baaaad position. Clinging onto Yuri desperately like a freshly-dumped boyfriend, Daniel's face softens. He knew pain was coming. He was being thrown off balance now. The endless chain of attack was going to have to be broken. And worse, it looked like he couldn't block this one.

Daniel tries, of course. He lets go, letting himself drop down as the punch comes. Without the defensive posture of Todoh, though, he is an easy target. The block fails to connect, and the PUNCH does so easily. Daniel is sent flying backwards, and lands in a heap. Struggling up, he glares at Yuri... and smirks.

"Nice balance, Peaches."

Daniel Jack suddenly closes his eyes. He relaxes for a moment. Reverting back to the defensive posture of Todoh, he begins to tense up again. He begins to punch the air, striking at invisible foes. He was building himself up, psyche himself up. "HIYA! HIYA! HIYA!" Came the cries, until he cross his arms in front of himself, and sweeps his arms. Orange chi was boiling forth from him, energy flowing through his body. His rhythm was broken, yes, but now he was ready to move into the second part of the fight. This strange girl was about to enter a fresh new world... of pain.

COMBATSYS: Daniel jacks it up a notch!

[              \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////////////////          ]
Daniel           1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0             Yuri


Meanwhile, Yuri continues to watch Daniel, waiting to see what he's capable of. After landing an attack like that successfully, Yuri knows that Daniel's most likely ready to bring on the pain. But she never expected to see something like this! The way he's got all that chi coming out of him and how he's yelling out like that. It's obvious he's really getting toughened up.

Yuri smirks and says, "So, you wanna get tough? I've been waiting for you to do this!" She says with a giggle. "Go ahead, I'm ready when you are!" Yuri retains her fighting stance, carefully watching Daniel to see what he might do next.

COMBATSYS: Yuri focuses on her next action.

[              \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////////////////          ]
Daniel           1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0             Yuri


Daniel Jack stomps a foot, the energy of Todoh still flowing through him and over him. "So, Peaches, you are prepared to face the ultimate might of Todoh? Watch closely, student of Kyokugen. Master Todoh has taught me to harness my force to merge not only the raw skill of Todoh-Ryu Kobojutsu, but my own personal spirit!"

The chi that was glowing over him lightly was now building to a full fire. "In the ultimate hybrid of force, skill, and my raw energy, here I come!" The detective charges forward, trails of chi rolling off behind him. Beelining it straight for Yuri, he let one hand grasp in front of him, while winding back his other hand into an open-hand palm strike. If Yuri does not react in time, Daniel would grab her, initating the full attack. As he closes in, he bellows low, building himself up to the ultimate strike.

"Fantastic..."

COMBATSYS: Yuri stops Fantastic Todoh Punch from Daniel with Saiha.

[              \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////           ]
Daniel           0/-------/-------|=====--\-------\0             Yuri


Daniel Jack grabs Yuri, and with a twist, flips her over his own shoulder, sending her to the ground. His other hand building up, he positions himself over her, aiming the punch right for her chest.

".... TOOOOODOH...."

He bellows, as his hand trembles, burning bright orange now from all the condense energy. Finally, with an explosion of raw, bright energy, he unleashes the palm towards Yuri. The direct force would have completely and almost certainly destroyed not only her, but the entire Kyokugen Dojo (It could have. Stop looking at me like that).

However....


Yuri brings up her energy shield once again, hoping that this time it won't be a mistake. Last time, it was a bad choice and she found herself getting hit seriously. But this time, it's a bit different. The shield does its job and protects Yuri from the incoming attack. As soon as Yuri gets back into her stance, she razzes Daniel again. "You're not as tough as you say you are, huh?" Yuri chuckles.

"Let me toughen you up a bit more!" And Yuri takes a few steps forward, but then stops abruptly. She takes a deep breath and blows it out. "Or maybe I'll wait. Go on, try again!"

Daniel's burning Todoh spirit leaves him. His heart is broken. His spirit is broken. At least, for the time being. The ultimate Todoh attack.... nary left a mark on Yuri? As Yuri backed up... Daniel is resting on the ground, leaning over. His hand, balled into a fist, kept him upright. "I... I need a good time out, Peaches." He stated with at tremor in his voice. "That... you're a heartbreaker, Peaches. A real heartbreaker.

Daniel Jack finally rises up, and evens himself out. Gone was that burning spirit. Gone was that burning rage. "Okay. I am ready." He states calmly. Advancing forward slowly, with that stable stance, he closes into towards Yuri... and tosses out a single, powerful palm strike, similar to the Zoot Suit Riot combo he unleashed earlier, but far slower... and with greater force.

COMBATSYS: Yuri fails to interrupt Strong Punch from Daniel with Jab Punch.
- Power fail! -

[              \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////               ]
Daniel           0/-------/------=|=======\-------\1             Yuri


Yuri smirks. "Come on, I'm ready for you!" Yuri cracks her knuckles in anticipation. She sees how Daniel's using strength, and thinks that speed will overcome strength. She attempts to go around him and deliver a swift jab, but it backfires on her. She gets hit in the jaw and goes spinning down to the ground, laying on her stomach and feeling like there are birdies flying around her head as a little blood comes out of her mouth.

"Uhh... where am I?" Yuri thinks as she opens her eyes again, trying to get up but having one of her legs collapse on her. "Ohh..." She stands up again, looking at Daniel again. "That was a great trick, show it to me again sometime?" She says in a semi-babbling tone.

Daniel Jack was not slowing down. He was keeping himself well paced. He needed to remain well paced. He was a balanced fighter, leaning a bit more towards defense than offense. Keeping stable was the most important to him. When Yuri unleashed that jab, Daniel threw his weight behind that palm strike with a burst of force. And it worked. Yuri was reeling with a solid strike in the jaw. And drawing his force inward... Daniel picks up the pace.

As Yuri rises up again, Daniel Jack begins to unleash another palm strike, faster than before. Quickly as his first flurry of strike, he drops down a hand chop, and chains into another palm strike... and a final, third palm strike. A simple, efficient combination strike that did little to draw off his own personal reserves... and more on his own, dimly burning spirit. He had to build up momentum for another raging torrent of blows.

Daniel           0/-------/-------|=======\-------\1             Yuri


Yuri gets into a defensive stance once again, weakly albeit. But it's defensive nonetheless, since the palm strike and the concurrent attacks are defended against, although it weakens Yuri a bit more than she was hoping for. Dazed and bloodied, Yuri is starting to find herself regretting this fight, but she won't back down that easily. "It seems you really are tough, but I won't admit defeat just yet!" Yuri backs away once again, this time tumbling over and landing on her rear end.

"Owwwwww!" Yuri whines loudly. "This wasn't supposed to happen!" Reaching over, Yuri grabs her water again and gulps some more down.

COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.

"Enough!" Daniel Jack erupts as Yuri falls down. "If you cannot keep up your energy, then you should not have chosen to fight the endless vigor of the School of Todoh!" The detective belts out. As Yuri goes for her water... Daniel move in to take advantage of the opening. Attempting to bat the water out of her hand, the detective lunges in to grip her by the wrist, and then, the upper arm. If he can get a good grip, then Daniel will attempt to shift her balance over his shoulder. With a single, clean motion, he will toss her over his shoulder in a simple toss, and throw her to the ground.

True Todoh Might.

Just as Daniel comes at Yuri, she tosses the bottle away and gets into position to protect herself once again. Try as he may, Yuri's standing her ground. Although he does manage to grab her and throw her, but with the brief energy Yuri's gotten by quenching her thirst, Yuri manages to roll into her fighting stance again, although the energy is gone and she feels tired once again.

"Even the best of the best get worn out, but that doesn't mean they go down easily!" Yuri says with a scowl. "Vigor isn't the only key trait you should have in a fight. And even then I'm sure you and your fellow classmates have lost a few battles I'm sure." Yuri then takes a deep breath and then rushes at Daniel, attempting to grab onto him by the shoulders, plant her feet into his stomach, and then flip him over onto the ground. If it works, Yuri will add a little taunt as well!

"The school of Todoh NEVER LOSES!" Daniel Jack announces reflectively, and then mutter under his breath. "The war." Todoh will never lose the war, that is for sure. You only lose if you surrender! As Daniel is mulling this wisdom... Yuri grabs him. The Kyokugen Daughter hurls him over, sending him into a tumble... that Daniel continues to tumble with. Negating most of the throw's impact with a well-timed roll, he perks up swiftly. "WOOF! ALright, peaches, you better buck up, because Daniel Jack is going to push the envelop now!"

The detective charges forward, and begins to repeat the same start up. A palm strike forward, a hand chop after. The combination strike does not lead into the other two blows, though, like with Zoot Suit Riot. No, Daniel suddenly rushes into Yuri's personal space, and attempts to catch her arm in a joint lock. If successful, Daniel will twist at the elbow, and end with a jerking slam to the ground.

Ooof! That really hurts. Getting hit and then slammed into the ground leaves Yuri really in a lot of pain. In fact, it hurts even more because of what Yuri planned to do. She planned to position herself so she could get an advantage on her counterattack. Unfortunately, this means she leaves herself more vulnerable and more likely to be injured.

As the girl finally manages to get up after a few failed attempts, she finds herself very close to Daniel, just like she intended. "I'm... not quite... done yet..." Yuri says weakly. "I've still got one last surprise for you!" And then the energy burns around Yuri as she brings her fists back and charges every last bit of her energy into them. "Denjin... Haoh... SHO KO KEN!" And then the biggest blast of energy Daniel will probably see from Yuri comes flying at him!

Kyokugen Projectiles. Daniel Jack HATED Kyokugen projectiles. The blast easily catches the detective. Daniel can't do anything. He can't block. He can't dodge. He can't overpower them. So he just endures it. His stance still wide, he holds there, letting the energy tear over him. What reserves he had built up before was now gone. He was reaching the end of his energy. He was growing more and more exhausted. But soon the blast dies down....
Then, a roar breaks out in the fallout of the blast.

"KASANE ATE!"

Daniel Jack leaps in the air, one hand up high, burning with orange chi. With a swipe, he comes back down, only some of the distance recovered from the powerful blast that Yuri unleashed. But the short, Todoh blast cuts through the air, attempting to cut through Yuri. Daniel lands, his hand already have slashed. This was it. This was the end game of the fight.

Soon, the battle of wills would be over.

COMBATSYS: Daniel successfully hits Yuri with Kasane Ate.

Daniel           0/-------/=======|====---\-------\0             Yuri


Yuri finds herself in a situation that she just can't get out of. She's weakened, barely able to move properly, and can't even speak coherently. So it's no wonder that when she attempts to dodge the incoming attack, she finds herself getting slashed by the incoming blast of chi. It slashes through her, cutting her uniform and causing her to stagger backwards briefly. As she comes back forwards, Yuri's energy returns long enough just to show off her secondary version of her big attack.

"Consider..." Yuri says as the energy starts to form around her, "this... a parting gift..." Yuri then brings her fists back and lets fly with a smaller version of her previous attack, this time just calling out 'Haoh Sho Ko Ken.' Once she finishes, she falls flat on her face!

COMBATSYS: Yuri can no longer fight.

Daniel Jack holds strong, the Kasane Ate slashing through the air and into his target. He was also weak. He was on the edge. And when Yuri unleashes her parting shot... a wave of raw energy overcomes the heart of Daniel Jack. His reactions were like lightning. His movements were a blur. As the wave of chi hurtles towards him....

Daniel Jack catches the blast.

Well, for a little bit. The detective lunging towards the projectile, taking it in partial force. With a twist, he flings the blast over his shoulder, straight across the dojo grounds. Daniel Jack stands there, his back turned toward Yuri. "... Good match, Peaches. I'll come around again. Maybe I can teach you a few Todoh tricks. You need them."

Daniel Jack takes a step forward, falling to one knee.

It takes a minute before he can rise up again, and walk away from the rival dojo.
