Description: In this Neo-League Match set in China, Adon and his crew of active NL officials engaged Aranha in one of Adon's Signature NL Techniques: Challenge Ambush. In what Adon hoped was an unfair fight in his favor, however, turned into a close fight of not only physical strengths, but of the mental finesse. Aranha may not have won the battle of martial arts, he won the true fight: A Rap Battle against Adon. <Winner: Adon>
After being told that he was to break the 46ers out of the Chinese Military cells, Aranha eventually agreed to it on the condition that he would need to leave Taizhou to get some supplies. Ji Zhou sent one of his boys with Aranha, to make sure that he didn't get any ideas of running out on them. If Aranha doesn't come back with him, he's in for a world of hurt.
After, getting some things that a more 'specialized' store would have, Aranha moved on to the stuff that could be bought in grocery stores and after that, a hardware store. Aranha comes out of one such hardware store with purchases in hand and is about ready to head back to Taizhou...
As long as there isn't a delay.
As Aranha steps out of the store...
A small crew was waiting for him.
A camera man was fixing his tool of trade on Aranha. A bearded man with a stopwatch and a flag looked ahead. 4 thai men which could be best described as goons stood by, wearing dull red boxers. Between those four was a very familiar man, a bit battered and dazed. Why, isn't that one of Ji Zhou's boys, who if Aranha does not come back with, he would be in a world of hurt?
Adon hoped so.
Dressed in bangles and a loose pair of blue trunks, he gazed with feral eyes upon the teamster from behind the rest of the crew "Hello there... ARANHA. It is very GOOD to see you!" The Emperor states with the sort of bemused, high-pitched tone of a cartoon cat approaching a cartoon mouse. Adon cracks his knuckles. "You are probably -VERY- curious about what in going on right now."
Aranha looks around. First at the camera man, then the bearded man with a stopwatch, then the goons, then the captured gangster, and lastly Adon. He suddenly feels a migraine coming on and that's before the notoriously loud Thai fighter even begins speaking. It gets worse when Adon opens his mouth.
Aranha takes a deep breath which isn't quite as cleansing as he would like. It takes a few moments to recognize Adon and then once that happens, Adon's MO comes instantly to mind which causes him to take another not so cleansing breath. After that breath, Aranha responds in an exasperated tone of voice, "Once... Just once while I'm in this god damn country would I like to be challenged or have a fight arranged in a civilized manner as opposed to getting kidnapped and told to fight, or having an ally's life being threatened. IS THAT TOO DAMN MUCH TO ASK FOR!?!?"
Let's ignore the fact that he has been refusing league fights while he was staying in Taizhou.
Adon does not ignore that fact. In fact, he has been relishing in it. "Do not SHOUT you BUFFOON of an OAF! I! ADON! THE EMPEROR OF MUAY THAI! Will not TOLERATE such OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR! You have been avoiding your NEO-LEAGUE FIGHTS Aranha, and above all, your FIGHT WITH ME! It was difficult to track you down. CHINA has been... NOT CONDUCTIVE to TRUE TESTS of SKILL between MEN like ourselves!"
The Emperor sweeps his hands to the man. "This... FOOL of a man dared stand near our path towards you. He has.... not said much. But we know enough now. He is your ALLY? And very important to you? Then perhaps, if you fulfill your DUTIES as a TRUE WARRIOR of... of...." The emperor glances to the man with the stopwatch. He speaks in a calm, monotonous voice. "Capoeira." Adon twists up his nose. "CAPYBARA?! So, you fight much like the South American PIG RAT? How disgustingly exotic... and fitting." Adon chuckles, then sweeps his hands.
"CLEAR OUT MY MINIONS! AND THIS WILL BE OUR FIGHTING ARENA! PREPARE YOURSELF, RODENT WARRIOR!"
"YOU SHOUTED FIRST, JACK-ASS!"
Yeah. That was real mature. Whatever else Aranha had to say was drowned out by the shouting that Adon was doing. Or was that his normal voice? Eventually Aranha just gives up on trying to say anything. He just taps his feet waiting. He eventually he gets tired of waiting.
Just as Adon gets to the part where he calls Aranha a rodent warrior, Aranha just brings a glowing blue roundhouse across his jaw and then quickly follows it up with a jumping roundhouse across the head, and then finishes by turning his back to Adon and flipping backwards as he drives one last blue glowing kick downwards on the dome of the Muay Thai kick boxer.
Aranha makes a note to himself: Explain what Capoeira is after he beats the everloving crap out of him.

Oh crap. A -Combo- fighter.
As Adon is still awaiting for the entire company to spread out, surround them, and let Adon give an honorable moment to allow Aranha to get ready... and ambush him. Instead, however, the unthinkable happened.
Aranha got the drop on HIM!
"JAAAAGGAH!?" Came the cry as the Emperor is caught flatfooted, and dropped like Firefly from the Fox Networks. All the blows make contact, leaving Adon to be stunned AND reeling. The Muay Thai goons raise their fists up, dropping Aranha's ganster 'partner' to the ground.
"NO!"
Adon screamed, raising his hand up. Rising up quickly, there was a fire in the Emperor's eyes. This was not a slow rise, this was a fast, angry one. Already Adon was charging towards Aranha. "A DIRTY ATTACK! But do you think your RABBIT LIKE KICKS will stop the FIERCE ANGER of a TRUE JUNGLE CAT! I will teach YOU why RATS are the natural PREY of the JAUGAR!" Adon pounces, shuttling through the air. The Emperor was attempting to land on Aranha's shoulders, grabbing them tightly. If successful, he would use the momentum to flip Aranha over his own head... and hurl him right into the wall of the building he left. A dirty attack, yes. But Adon was furious now.
And worse, the camera was running.
They will see him being OUTSMARTED.

Aranha's shoulders are gripped and Aranha has no hope what so ever of avoiding it. All he can do is adapt and try to turn the situation to his benefit. As he's bodily thrown into the wall, Aranha twists himself so that his legs are directed to the wall instead of his back allowing him to not only use his legs to absorb the impact but to prepare himself for his own attack.
"Hey dumbass. Had it ever occured to you to wonder why my fighting name is what it is?" He rebounds off the wall and launches himself bodily feet first for Adon's jaw once more.
"Neither I nor my art has anything to do with being a rodent!"

Adon does manage to chuck Aranha. Unfortunately, the Emperor was becoming VERY aggressive. Dangerously so. And not for Aranha. After hurling the Capoeira artist, Adon was well off balanced. When Aranha comes back, the Emperor is in no position to dodge. Whipping his arms up, he spreads out his posture, letting the flying kick strike his forearms. "Aranha? Why, I assumed that was your MOTHER'S LAST WORDS as the last of the liquor and her PIMP ROLLED out of her mouth!" But instead of standing strong against the strikes...
Adon seems to give away.
Leaping backwards, he suddenly plants his feet against one of his own Muay Thai lackeys. Winding his feet up, the Emperor grabs the goon. His legs explode out, and the emperor leaps off his own man, sending to poor fighter to the ground. Adon was now shooting through the air, leg out into a high-speed flying kick aiming right for Aranha's center of mass.
"JAAAAAAGGA TOOOOOOOTH!"

Why do people think that insulting Aranha's parents will piss him off? No one knows how messed up his relationship with his parents really was. Not that he was going to say that to someone like Adon and especially not while he's being recorded for Neo League.
He's about to open his mouth to respond anyway but then he gets painfully reminded of why he tends to avoid talking when he's got more at stake like the condition of someone else.
Aranha gets knocked clear off his feet by Adon and gets sent flying at another one of Adon's lackeys.
Adon doesn't really know Aranha that well. If he could build a better, more intimate relationship with him like the one between Alma and Adon, he could make the insults more close to home. Close. Affectionate. It's like a groin shot. It's not that the groin is the weakest part of the body. It is just that you KNOW if you strike a male or woman in the groin, it is going to be hurt. The universal insults are the easiest to apply.
Likewise, chest kicks work as well.
Adon piles HARD into Aranha, unleashing the Muay Thai power and speed in a single, powerful motion. Adon was slowing down his aggression now, focusing now on a more... balanced offense. Aranha bowls over the Muay Thai goon he hits, leaving the pair on the ground. Adon stomps forward, and the goon begins to scramble away. Aranha may or may not have time to react, though he has plenty of it as Adon raises his foot, and swiftly stomps down, attempting to smash Aranha into the dirt.
"Come on my LITTLE RAT! GET UP!"
COMBATSYS: Adon successfully hits Aranha with Medium Kick.

Aranha on the other hand, was having a hard time once that initial kick landed. It just simply became too hard for him to move. As a result it doesn't take much effort for Adon to land the stomp on him, wracking his chest with even more agony and rewarding Adon with a pained cough.
Seeing as he can't move himself immediately, he finally responds. "Aranha, is spider in Portuguese, you god damn slap nut."
After that, Aranha pulls himself to a crouched position and then he swings a spinning back heel at Adon's head while planting both of his hands, in addition to the non-kicking foot on the ground. Ideally Aranha will use the momentum of the kick to bring himself to a standing position which will in turn allow him to dance in ginga.

Adon sneers as his foot grinds downwards, and cackles loudly. "KYAHAHHAHAH! Then you must be Brazillan. YES! I see why your martial art would be named after the RAT!" The Emperor leers for a moment... as Aranha crouches down. The Emperor crouches down, ready to charge forward with his knees. His body bracing into steel-like form, he leaps with a flying knee as the first high-low kick comes...
But cleanly misses.
By keeping low, Aranha avoids the aggresive charge. Adon takes the head shot hard, sailing over Aranha. The interrupt fails, and Adon only enjoys pain from the attack. As he lands, he cringes in agony and frustration. Turning around, he glares at his opponent who... dances.
"WHAT SICK MAN DANCES IN A FIGHT?!"
Aranha continues the dance letting it both relax his body and turn him into a moving target. "Maybe I'll explain later."
He then goes into a cartwheel right in front of Adon leaning with his guard up, tilting over as he plants his hands and then as he goes from upside down to the tilted position on the tail end of the cartwheel he lashes out with a snap kick to the torso as if it were sort of an afterthought.
When he completely lands, he spins and then thrusts out a side kick to the abdomen before spinning off towards Adon's flank.
Speaking of afterthoughts, he adds to his previous statement. "If I feel like it."

Adon was losing his momentum. At this point, he was suspecting this was a fair fight. It should NEVER be a fair fight. Either Adon was winning, or was about to come in from behind. This was neither. And this was WRONG.
And Adon would need to make it right.
Aranha moves quickly, but Adon moves quicker. Sweat was beginning to form all over his body, making it glisten. The Emperor take three stable steps backwards, swapping his form from side to side as he winds back. He wanted to keep OUT of the range of the snap kick, and as the side kick catches nothing but air, he preens his judgement. But now, Aranha was trying to catch his flank.
"You WILL FEEL LIKE IT! Or YOU WILL FEEL PAIN! On the second thought, you will endure BOTH!" Adon screeches as he explodes out towards Aranha with a single, arcing straight. Charging the nimble fighter like a bull, he was trying to put the pressure on Aranha. He didn't know what kind of read he was getting on his opponent, but the agility and chain of strikes... indicated a flexible, indirect offense. And Adon was going to try and overwhelm him, testing his defense.

The reason Aranha had moved towards Adon's flank was not for offensive reasons but rather for a defensive reason. That time that Adon would spend turning to get Aranha back in front of him, would be more time Aranha would have to see what Adon would do in response.
Aranha takes advantage of this little bit of extra time to plan bobbing, weaving, spinning, and dancing out of the way of the Jaguar of Muay Thai's chain of strikes.
With a bit of distance put between the two, Aranha spins one more time whipping out his arm as he sends out a blue spider web of chi at Adon, and keep control of the range between them.

How do I doge web?
By keeping on moving. As Aranha opens up distance, Adon keeps pressing forward, trying to close that distance. Where many fighters rely on a balance of long-range projectiles and short-range/medium range strikes, Adon focuses on making EVERYTHING short-ranged. Aranha unleashes his web, and Adon V-Dodges. Hitting a hard right, he continues to move forward. Twisting around the shot, he hard lefts.
And grins.
"You think I need CHEAP TRICKS? You are no spider, but a FOOL! A dark-skinned FOOL!" Cackling, Adon unleashes another straight... with both hands. Stepping hard in, he attempts to finalize closing any space between him and Aranha, and strike him both high AND low in tandem. A right aimed for the face, a left to the gut. If Aranha can get out of the way, Adon would be left in a bad position. If not...
Adon would begin to mangle the poor man.

Aranha doesn't move out of the way. In fact while he still maintains his dance, he still hold his ground in a figurative sense. His torso tilts as he leans over to the side. One arm comes up to guard his head while the other moves to guard his ribs. The end result is that high punch glances off of his shoulder while the other one catches him fully on the arm.
Aranha responds with a swinging an elbow uppercut...

That elbow was intended to take advantage of their close proximity and the opening that Adon had presented by rushing him like a bull and unbalance him. As a result, Aranha moves quickly diving sideways to the ground catching himself on the ground on the palm of his hands as he rests his torso on his elbow as his body tilts at a 45 degree angle. While low, he shoots a side kick to further unbalance the Muay Thai kick boxer and then splits his legs open, scissors them about Adon's legs and twists hard to send the Jaguar face first to the ground.
Because Capoeiristas are firm believers in making takedowns, in-out affairs. He quickly releases the legs, turns downward to put his body on all fours before elevating himself into a handstand spinning himself away from the kickboxer before landing on his feet again.
"I'm black and I'm proud!"
The assault of black pride on the Emperor of Muay Thai was staggering. Adon was overwhelmed by the unique dancing style. Adon intended to simply evade the attack... And he initially ALMOST dodges the rush with the elbow. However, a stumble bring him into the whirling hell of combination strikes. In the end, he was SPIKED. SPIKED! And for a moment, he looks like he is out cold.
There is a brief moment of silence.
Adon suddenly rises up, his eyes burning. His hands suddenly wraps around the camera man's boom mic. Tearing it free, he suddenly shoves it in front of his mouth. "Aranha? You think you are proud? You think you are proud? You know how I, ADON! THE EMPEROR OF MUAY THAI, can be! FOR LAST WEEK! YOU COULD NOT DO WITHOUT ME!"
And to honor the sport of Muay Thai, Adon begins to rap.
"CHECK IT! You know how I be!
Last week ARANHA couldn't do without ME!
You know how I be!
Last Week ARHANA couldn't do without me!
I call myself ADON! and I'm twice as good as Sagat!
I call myself ADON! Cuz I love to eat NOUGAT!
Excuse me, NOBODY live next the MON!
So in the hood! DAWG! I feel like ADON!
JAAAAAAGGA!"
Adon launches forward with the long boom, whipping it around at high speeds. Hopefully, his rapping left Aranha speechless. A cunning attack, and even brilliant. Aiming for the skull, he grins.
Bitches be hatin.

Speechless, though to the probable disappointment to Adon, not witless. Aranha weaves around the attempt to brain him with the boom mic. He pauses for a moment, the dance temporarily forgotten. And then he laughs right in the face of Adon.
Aranha goes acapella.
"Oh my! It looks like Adon's hit his head too hard again,
Because he seems to think he's Thailand's answer to Jin.
His mouth moves but is anyone listenin'?
He screetches and howls in a voice not fit for rappin.'
The way he rhymes, it's a crime.
Lack of beat, lack of rhythm, lack of a sense of time.
The longer this fight goes, the more convinced that it's /my/ turn to shine."
After that, he attempts to out right smack the mic down to the ground and then spins around and whips an outside crescent kick to Adon's face in an attempt to pimp slap him with his foot.

Where did this man find such phat dope rhymes? Adon was floored. As the mic misses, he scowls as the LAUGHTER countering him. Having the mic knocked from his hands, he finds himself unarmed... and able to easily block the kick. His eyes burning with more rage than ever before... he flashes ancient Muay Thai signs of insults. And he continues to freestyle... poorly.
"Gabba Rabba Blubba Babba Aranha PLEASE!
I am the EMPEROR of alls I SEE!
Keep shaking your booty
like a CHEAP THAI BEAUTY!
You know you can't FIIIIIGHT!
YEAAAAAAAAH %NO MAYBE NO MIIIIIIIIIIGHT
WHUUUUUUUU
I JUST OUT OF SIIIIIIIIGHT
UUUUUUUUH
SO ITS MY TURN TO SAY GOOD NIIIIIIGHT!!!"
Adon suddenly leaps up in the air, flipping through the air. Leg winding up, he simply lets himself drop down towards the earth... and Aranha. Using the spirit of rap to boost his spirit, the Empreror of Muay Thai burns a lot brighter with his chi energy than usual. His whole leg burning with orange energy, he slams his leg down with a shout.
"JAAAAAAAAGGGAAAA KEEK!"

Aranha laughs at the lyrics once more. And this time this proves to be his down fall since he doesn't quite recover from the laughter in time to avoid the energized kick which sends him crashing to the ground.
He doesn't have much left in the tank and so he know he has to make both his verbal and physical response count. He rises to his feet with laughter. Even though it hurts to laugh he finds he can't control it.
After awhile the laughter stops and then he moves towards Adon whirling with glowing kick after glowing kick letting each attack create his beat for his final lyrical gasp.
"Ok. You can fight that's about it.
Your lyrics horrible pieces of *Bleep*(gotta censor it for the home audiences)
You scream and you whine,
Line after line
Your fighting and ambush challenges may have made you rich,
But that'll never cover for the fact that win or lose you'll always be Sagat's *Bleep*.
And then he tilts into a handstand spinning with the last glowing kicks before falling prone.

"His *bleep*? HIS *bleep*?!?! I! ADON! THE EMPEROR OF MUAY THAI! IS NO *bleep*!"
Adon lands on his feet, the impact made. He was ready to continue the rap battle. But Adon is struck silent. The endless chain of golden kicks. The speed. The phat lyrics. The Emperor simply tries to TOUGH it out. Dropping his feet down, he allows his body to tough up. Flexing hard, he tries to fight against it... and fails. Just fails to hold up. He stumbles, body burning in agony. And he is left... with no more lyrics.
He just got served.
Rising up, his hands balled into fists, he glares down. The judge wait, counting down... and shaking his head. Hitting the stopwatch, the camera man stops the tape. The thugs look at their gangster, ready to hold him out so Adon can punch him. But the Emperor raises a hand... and turns it into a thumb. Jerking it behind him, he sneers. "Leave the idiots. We are out of here." The camera man packs up, and the thugs look towards Adon as he begins to walk off. "Emperor of Muay Thai... are you sure?" Adon stops, and glances back, a wicked smile on his face.
"YEAAAAAAH BOOOOOOOI!!!"
