Description: This week's SNF comes to you LIVE from within an EXPLODING MANSION. Can Blanka and Salvatore defeat Hayato before the house comes down around their ears? MAYBE THEY CAN AND MAYBE THEY CAN'T. TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!! (Winner: Blanka and Salvatore)
Hayato Nekketsu lives in Southtown, where space is a bit of a luxury. He's got himself a pretty nice place to live, but having arrived in California and been shown to the mansion he'll be fighting in, he's a bit shocked. "This place is huge!" And, upon closer inspection, not in very good shape. The first hint would probably be all the broken windows.
The teacher walks into the main foyer, and casts a glance around the broken glass on the floor, and walls that mostly have graffiti on them in the places where they don't have holes punched in them or large gashes where wiring and plumbing were ripped out. Aside from the human damage it's actually not in particularly bad shape, since there hasn't been a huge amount of time for the elements to start wearing the place down. In this room, at least. The air seems pretty damp, probably as a result of someone messing with the plumbing.
A far cry from the jungles of Blanka's 'home away from home', since he's still fuzzy on where 'home' actually is. However, the States treat him welel enough, the TSA checkpoints amazingly simple when all you wear is pants. He arrives after Hayato, bare feet crunching on dirt and plaster, carefully avoiding whatever is left of broken windows.
"Already broken, gonna get broken more, right?" he says as he pushes through the entrance, aware of the hidden cameras, and inhaling deeply before he lets out a bestial roar at one of the lenses. After all, the SNF officials need their dramatic entrance, and a 6'4 beastman howling and making a fierce counternancee should at least be semi-impressive.
Broken windows, and doors that fall right off their hinges. That's Salvatore's way of entering, left holding a rusted handle as the back door falls to the ground with a wooden slam, bringing up a cloud of dust. It's a far cry from shouting at a camera, but it helps illustrate just how dilapidated this place is. "Hmm," a rather sarcastic thoughtful sound from the half-Italian. He throws the knob over his shoulder as he steps inside the house, wandering through, taking note of the lay of the land as he makes his way towards the designated starting area for the fight.
Stepping into the entrance lobby, he's decked in black, which is going to show the dust really easily. Black coat, black singlet beneath, black pants, and a black mask hiding half of his face. Only the mouth is visible, and from the way it's twisted, it's not too pleased with where this fight is happening.
"Be mindful of your surroundings," Salvatore mutters to himself, as the cameras make little whirling sounds as they take focus, the fight coordinator outside blaring something on a megaphone about it just about being time to start the fight!
From outside, someone shouts, "Okay, they're all in, and our people are out!" A few moments later the call to fight arrives, and someone outside throws a switch. Several quiet beeps indicate that the explosives set up around the building have been armed. Which one will be the first to blow? Well, the demolition guys probably know, but they aren't telling anybody. "Remember, you've got the run of the entire house! Go wild!"
Well, Hayato doesn't mind that at all. He'd wandered off into a different room to look around while the others were arriving, but he heard the footsteps. He /could/ go back around to the doorway, but he's got a pretty good idea of where one of them is standing. And somebody already went to the trouble of ripping out any pesky wires or pipes that might be in the way...
And so Hayato gets the fight off to a good start by charging right through a wall, hitting the ground running to slam his shoulder into Blanka and slam him into the wall across the room. He's always wanted to do something like that. As he bursts through the wall he shouts, "Hey guys, let's have some fun!"

Beeps, little surprising blips of noise, signifying that things aree going to happen. Blanka's prepped, the hackles on the back of his neck rising, making his hair poof just that little bit more. He takes a few steps away from his partner for the fight, starting to search around for Hayato - but instead, Hayato finds him.
The wall explodes towards Blanka, a Hayato in the middle of the drywall and boards that blast this way and that. His hands come up in a cross block, and Blanka takes most of the impact there, sliding backwards and crashing into the far wall, sinking in a bit. As he does, there's a 'bleep', and the roof nearby drops in, the upper bathroom taken down in a pyrotechnic display, and suddenly becoming part of the front room. As porcelain crashes in and down, Blanka's flailing hand catches the bathtub, and he grunts as he brings it upwards, then straight downwards, trying to catch Hayato with it. "Awh-ROOOOO!"
Barely does Salvatore have those words out of his mouth -- and he's staring at Blanka for a moment after that, too -- when the beeps start, and the far wall caves in like some kind of Juggernaut arriving. Cursing under his breath, he takes a step or two backwards, angry at himself for being taken by surprise like that. "Some fun, huh?" he questions, before a wry smirk takes his features. Sure, why not?
He draws his sword, about to lunge forward when the roof partially caves down, bringing with it the bathtub that Blanka so expertly wields. The half-Italian begins to shake his head at the happenstance of it all, before reminding himself that this is the world stage; craziness will indeed happen!
"Alright, let's do this!" Leaping at Hayato, he brings out his sheathed katana, aiming to whack the teacher high on the back, or even the bathtub if the man ends up wearing it!

Tick, tock. The explosions have started, counting down towards the big boom.
The downside to busting through a wall is all the dust. And having the ceiling collapse doesn't help, either. Hayato is momentarily blinded, and by the time he manages to clear his vision there's a bathtub swinging down toward him. He attempts to leap out of the way, but the tub smacks down on him with the sound of shattering porcelain. There is a benefit, though. The shards of tub somewhat impede Salvatore's attack, smacking against a large chunk of the tub rather than directly into Hayato's back.
The teacher stumbles for a moment, but quickly rights himself and spins to face his attackers. He glances at Salvatore with a grin. "So, you like swords?" He swings up his shinai, then lunges at the other man. He lashes out with a quick series of horizontal strikes, then brings his arm up for a diagonal slash aimed at Salvatore's collarbone.
Coughing away the reemnants of porcelain dust and letting his hands unclench around the ring of the bathtub, Blanka recovers from the hit. Pulling back a bit, he coveres his mouth with his forearm, and takes a breath or two. As Hayato leaps towards his teammate, Blanka crouches down, fingers and toes digging into the carpet.
Waiting until the pair engage, he then bounds forwards once, twice, and then tries to wrap Hayato up from behind, bringing his jaws forwards, open wide. Prepatory to a fierce awm-nom-nomming on the teacher's shoulder. "Should fight natuarooly!"

The shattering of the bathtub helps as well to obscure Salvatore's response to an attack which proves far faster than he seems capable of dealing with. "You could say--" he begins, fending off the horizontal strikes easily enough with his still-sheathed sword. But the diagonal strike plummets, breaking his guard, and quite possibly his collarbone as well!
Knocked onto his rump and sliding backwards, the man grunts in near-mute shock at the severity of the strike. These World Warriors, so strong! So dangerous, he mentally adds, grimacing at the pain radiating from his collar.
Clambering back to his feet, he begins backpedaling further into the house, although not without doing something to ideally keep the dangerous teacher back. "Here, try this," he offers, extending more than just that; he draws his blade, somewhat awkwardly, slashing the air once. A green wave of energy sizzles forward, aimed low to avoid Blanka.

And then a second explosion rocks the house, this one from somewhere in the basement. There's a creak from the floor that's mostly overshadowed by the roar of the explosion, and the entire floor tilts several inches to one side, having lost a support.
Luckily for Hayato, it tilts in a direction that aids him in his sidestepping of the energy wave Salvatore sends toward him. He spins about to avoid the edge of it, then continues his spin because he knows Blanka is coming for him. With the beast man's jaws closing in, Hayato attempts to drive an uppercut into his jaw before he can actually be snared. Unfortunately, his timing is a bit off. It does save his shoulder, but at the expense of letting Blanka get some good gnawing in on his arm. "Gah! Ow!"
Blanka's eyes bug out a bit - he usually expects to get a nice hunk of shoulder, not a large portion of forearm. He chews once, twice - then lets go, to avoid the green blast from Salvatore. Spitting Hayato's limb back out, he backs up a foot or two.
The second explosion makes Blanka tilt a bit, the lurch of the building making his eyes widen a largee amount - earthquakes are one thing, but deliberate ones - yeesh! He's a little slow to entere back into the fray, but when he does, it's with a barreling charge and a windmill of arms, wild overhand strikes raining down towards Hayato!
The second explosion and the subsequent teetering of the room cause Salvatore to nearly lose his footing. But what kind of not-ninja would he be, if that were the case? Raising a hand, he braces against the doorway he was about to pass through, deciding that, yes, avoiding the fracas for the moment is a good idea.
It also gives him a chance to loop his sword back onto his belt, and just take a moment to gather his energy. He does just that, eyes shifting from blue to green, mist rising from those very sockets as motes of psycho power circle about him. "I'll help you in just a moment," he offers to Blanka, accompanied with a little wave of his hand.

Hayato backpedals as Blanka comes swinging at him, waiting for an opportunity to strike. And hey, does the beeping sound a bit louder over here? Then a wall next to Hayato and Blank suddenly blows out, showering the two of them with dust and leaving a gaping hole leading over into the next room. And potentially providing a good distraction for Hayato!
He lunges at Blanka, attempting to get a good grip on one arm, then firmly plants his feet and rotates his body with the intent of sending Blanka flying right through the hole in the wall and into the room beyond, whatever it might be. "Orrrryah!"

The smoke and dust from the nearby explosion catches Blanka in the face, the windmilling sweeps of his arms doing nothing to prevent him from being blinded. He's left to the mercy of the sudden gap, stumbling forwards into it and Hayato, and would have passed by, save for that arm reaching out for him, and grabbing him.
Grabbing him
Blanka's body starts to twist as Hayato begins his throw towards the other room - but Blanka's big green grip tightens up on Hayato's forearm. Nails dig in just a bit, and there's a growling howl as the bestial brazillian clings tenaciously, and the smell of ozone fills thee room as his body and Hayato's suddenly are engulfed in bright blue and white light, the tell-tale zot zot zot of electricity echoing through. Tumbled into the other room, Blanka lands on a chair, snapping it into pieces from the force of Hayato's throw, leaving the green giant woozy, dizzied and a bit surprised.
"Whose idea was this again?" Salvatore mutters after the latest explosion, given the liberty to be flippant while the other two go at it like wild animals. He watches with some interest as the two are engulfed in that potent electricity, waiting for the right moment when the two separate to move in for a strike.
And move he does, moving from one spot to another in a flash, aiming to catch Hayato right after Blanka detaches -- and to rather smartly send the teacher flipping back the way he came, to give Blanka some breathing space. There's also the matter of the green blast of energy he dispenses, aimed to catch the teacher, be he near or far!

Hayato's body jerks and for a few moments he loses muscle control as his body locks up thanks to the electricity coursing through it. After his grip on Blanka is broken and the jungle man flies off, Hayato staggers for a few moments as his muscles start functioning again. A fourth explosion rocks the house, but this time it's somewhere on an upper floor, and Hayato barely notices it as he tries to shake off the effects of being shocked.
He /does/ notice Salvatore firing off a blast of energy toward him. Rather than trust his legs right at that moment, though, he instead brings up his arms in a guard position, letting the green energy crash against that and disperse. It fails to send Hayato flying back, which may be unfortunate for Salvatore, as Hayato follows up his defense by planting one foot, then bring his other up and around to slam into the side of Salvatore's head.
Blanka is quite happy in the remnants of the couch. There is some plywood stuck in his back, but the ripped cushions seem to have protected him from most of the impact. He pulls himself up and out, and regathers his momentum. His teammate beeing attacked, Blanka sprints into action.
Sprints, springs - it's a four-on-the-floor rush, hunkered down like a speedy cheetah leaping into action. Two steps, three, and he's at full speed. By the fifth, he's tucked up and making a rumbling noise as he rolls right at Hayato, trying to knock him into the kitchen, towards the nice empty hole where the fridge probably used to be!

Despite Salvatore's efforts, it seems Hayato is just on another tier entirely, mustering defenses to stop the combo assault. Gritting his teeth, they're left nearly jarred out of his skull as the teacher stands and delivers, that boot crunching against the raised forearms of the half-Italian. The forearms in turn smack him right in the jaw, which hurts like hell with the driving force delivered.
Sliding back on his boots, the assassin gathers his footing, leaping back to allow Blanka the chance to come in for the attack. He does the sensible thing then; he draws his sword, the dull edge glowing with green energy.
Lashing the air again, he sends twin waves over the rolling monster, murderous intent fusing into each slash to give the energy a more potent edge. His arm sags afterwards, the smooth motion interrupted before he finally returns the blade to its sheath.

Hayato manages to bring up his guard before Blanka slams into him, but the force of the impact is still enough to cause Hayato to slide back some distance across the floor. But then he makes a mistake, forcefully lowering his guard by sweeping his arms out, trying to push Blanka back. Whether or not it works, it leaves him wide open to the attack following in just /behind/ Blanka, and he can't recovery his guard in time.
Green energy slams into Hayato's chest and sends him flying backwards into the spot Blanka had been trying to drive him to. And then there's another explosion and the wall and floor behind Hayato collapse, sending him crashing down to the floor below.
He's quick to recover, though. Blanka and Salvatore won't have much time to think about going down to see if he needs to be finished off, because just a few moments later a blazing fist comes bursting through the floor underneath Blanka, followed swiftly by the rest of Hayato, blasting another good sized hole in the woodwork.

While he may not have been able to push Hayato into the right point himself, Blanka is able to start the process, start the nudging here and there that ends with Hayato falling downwards thanks to the blast and slice from Salvatore. He steps towards the hole, then looks towards Salvatore, about to say something about how that was good that it was over and give his partner an erstwhile thumbsup. And instead, there is firey exploding Hayato that comes up beneath in a shower of wood and smoke. Blanka can't dodge or move out of the way, so he just tries to tcatch most of the embers and fists on his giant feet, thick callouses blunting the worst of the damage.
He lands on the edge of the hole, and wobbles on it unsteadily. Takeing a step back, his hand finds the counter's edge, and he holds onto it for balance.. As he does, Blanka speaks. "Blanka think you use everything but.. kitchen sink. Luckily.. Blanka have that!" With that, there's a great tearing as the green giant grabs the steel sink and rips it from the counter. He uses the drain pipe as a handle, and swings the thing like a club right at Hayato's chest, intent on knocking him back into the hole which he came from.
It's with a certain sense of satisfaction that Salvatore watches his twin blast of psycho power strike the teacher -- and subsequently assist in sending him plummeting into the basement. The sword-wielder turns, considering how best to approach the target, when Hayato takes matters into his own hands by ripping up from the basement with such potent force.
But the continued explosions are making Salvatore consider just how much longer they have until the mansion comes down about their heads. He moves as Blanka does, to ensure this fight is over with before that; and also to hit Hayato about the head some. "Let's finish this!"
As the kitchen sink comes down, so too does a Kitchenaid(tm) mixer, somehow left inside the house despite being an expensive appliance at the best of times! They'll El Kabong Hayato back down!

Another explosion rocks the house from somewhere off on the other side, and there are far fewer beeping noises to be heard. More importantly, though, the fighters can now here ominous creaks and groans from throughout the house, as support structures take on more load than they were meant to, and the occasional crack of something giving way. It doesn't seem like the place is going to last too much longer.
But there are other things to worry about. Like having a sink swung at you. Hayato quickly leaps back as Blank swings the fixture at him, but the faucet catches on the edge of his jacket. All it does is jerk Hayato to one side for a moment, but that's long enough for the mixer to connect with the side of Hayato's head, sending him staggering.
The teacher shakes his head a few times, trying to clear the ringing out of it as he staggers toward Blanka. He blinks some blood out of his eye as he lunges forward, trying to grab Blanka by the arm and tug him toward a swiftly rising fist to the stomach, aimed to lift the green man right up, followed by a leap to slam him into the ceiling. Wait, didn't grabbing Blanka get him shocked before? Uh oh. Better hurry!

Ominous, indeed! Blanka can sense things building towards something, but in the heat of battle, he can't place the fact that there are more and more explosions around with the structural integrity of the place being so compromised. He's no Donatello, after all! Another explosion splatters plaster, paint and drywall against his back. He steps forwards, discarding the sink as Hayato triese to close with him. There's a wide grin on the beast-man's face - he knows exactly what he's going to do.
However, he does it just a tad too late, air driven out of him by the fierce punch to the gut, and the uppercut sending him straight up against the ceiling. As he hits the upper level, there's a burst of electricity from him, stronger than before. All around the three fighters, lights and cameras burst from the sudden blast of electricity, with arcid smoke wafting through the room adding to the destrcution. Blanka falls back down afterwards in a heap, trying to scrabble back up to standing in the increasingly unsteady locale!
Better hurry, indeed! Salvatore watches the attempt by Blanka to stop Hayato from getting the upper hand, and it's then that he moves in to strike, despite the electricity in the air and the raining ceiling from Blanka's impact. He too feels the rising urgency, the need to complete this and get the hell out before it all comes crashing down. Perhaps it's precognition, or simply the fact that the building is shaking from more than just hunger pangs now.
"Come on, come on," he mutters under his breath, urging himself forward. Reaching close proximity, his aim is simple; kick Hayato square in the side to catch his attention, and then throw the man over his shoulder and dump him onto the kitchen floor!

Hayato senses Salvatore coming up toward him, but with Blanka's entire weight on his fist, he can't react very quickly. He gives a pained grunt as the younger man's foot is driven into his side. And tries to stagger away without Blanka falling on him, only to be caught and slammed to the floor. There's a loud crack as his head hits the floor, but thankfully it's from the floor rather than Hayato's skull.
Meanwhile, another explosion rocks the house, blowing out one of the exterior walls. The entire structure is visibly shaking now. It's probably just a few moments from collapse.
Hayato tries to heave himself to his feet, blinking out the considerable amount of blood that's now flowing from his scalp into his eyes, but then his arm gives out underneath him and he collapses back down to the kitchen floor.

Explosions, smoke, dust - the telltale scent of smoke in the air. Blanka knows some of these sensations, and these combined with the yawing and swaying of what is left of the house certainly does bring back some unpleasant flashbacks. Eyes wide, he looks as Salvatore drops Hayato, the howls out in urgent surprise.
"A... Blanka think it time to leave!" Whether or not the fight is /actually/ over, an unsteady green giant is going to take the fact that Hayato can't get to his feet as a very, very good excuse to not be there anymore. Blanka bum-rushes Hayato again, this timee scooping the man up in a smooth motion and putting him over Blanka's shoulder. The /other/ shoulder turns into a pretty effective battering ram, the large green beastman barreling through one of the outside walls, then bracing it as best he can. Over his shoulder to Salvatore, he calls out in a gruff gravelly growl! "Blanka think you great teammate... not want to see you smushed! C'mon!"

There's a large thrill of satisfaction within Salvatore as he watches Hayato fail to get back up. And he considers then and there simply leaving this dangerously strong man to die within the house -- if even a falling house with explosives can off someone like this. It would be one less potential threat out there in the world.
But any such dire action is thwarted from completion as Blanka barges past, gathering the fallen and bounding out. "Hmm," is all the man wearing the mask has to say in reply, before he too makes his exit in a blur of motion. He won't be seen again, but without a doubt he makes it clear.
With a tremendous groan, the building finally succumbs to the multitude of structural damage it has taken from both fighters and well-placed ordnance. From the front it begins, caving down, collapsing like a glorified house of cards, sending up a large cloud of dust and debris!
