Description: After their previous attempt at a Neo League fight was interrupted, Yuri and Megane go at it again. Will Yuri prove that Kyokugen is the superior art, or will Megane top Yuri?
Early afternoon, and it's a little cloudy. A few of the cameramen that have set up near the entrance seem a little paranoid - none of the cameramen got hurt the last time, but getting your equipment destroyed is still pretty painful.
Megane walks along the smooth cement in front of the Kyokugen Dojo, and his eyes flit over the building, remembering the destruction that he saw here last time. It's all been repaired by now, of course, getting things broken is not unheard of for a dojo with such powerful fighters.
The Gedo student walks up to the entrance of the dojo, and glances around.
The dojo has long since been repaired, and Yuri has eagerly awaited the day that she'd finally get her chance to spar with Megane. Last time it was interrupted by that old geezer known as Gen, who nearly killed her and her dojo, all because of some kind of beef he had with her father. But he's nowhere to be found, and that's what counts.
Inside the dojo, a special fighting mat has been laid out for the fighters, and Yuri is standing on there warming up. She practices by doing some 'shadow sparring,' getting blood flowing and her body ready to fight. That is, untill she spots Megane and she grins.
"Megane!" She shouts cheerfully. "It's so good to see you here! Now we finally get to do our fight!" She cracks her knuckles and then grins. "I hope you're ready for this!"
Megane watches this shadow sparring quietly for a moment. He didn't get a good look at her moves when they were fighting Gen together, so now is a good chance. He glances around the room just in case there's something else he missed, but then looks back to Yuri, to see that she's noticed him.
Wait, first name basis? He blinks, then smiles slightly. "I've looked forward to this fight too, Yuri." He walks into the dojo, and adjusts his glasses, then lowers his hands to his side. "I assume you are ready as well?"
"Ready? You're asking ME if I'm ready?" Yuri asks with a grin. "You must be joking, I was born ready! I'm the daughter of the creator of Kyokugen Karate, and I will spread my style everywhere!" She stretches her legs quickly before jumping up and spinning around.
"All right, let's get this on already! I'm already flowing with energy!" Yuri says with a big grin.

Megane nods slightly. "Well then, I won't hold back."
He raises his right fist, and blades of wind spiral around it. He runs towards Yuri, closing the distance between them, and aims his fist at her stomach, blades of wind kicking up behind him as he moves.

"That's exactly how I want it!" Yuri replies with a big grin. She gets into her fighting stance, bouncing up and down on her heels like she usually does. And then she watches as Megane comes at her swiftly, which results in her bringing up her arms to deflect the punch to the side, meaning that Yuri gets hit, but not in the way Megane intended to.
"That was pretty good, but you're gonna need to do better than that!" Yuri says as she goes for the stomach with her sneaker-clad foot.
COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Megane with Light Kick.

Megane stumbles back a few steps, that kick was too fast for him to react to. He smiles, although it doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Why, are you not going to fight me seriously until you get a better feel for my abilities?"
He shrugs, and takes a step back, then spins around, aiming a stronger, if more telegraphed, kick at Yuri's leg.
COMBATSYS: Yuri dodges Megane's Heavy Kick.

"Oh no, it's not that," Yuri replies. "It's just that you need to really put all of your skills into the fight when you're trying to win!" She sees the kick coming at her and crouches down and lunges to the side, avoiding it completely. "And you have to be careful when you're attacking, since if you're too predictable, your opponent is going to know what you're gonna do!"
Without missing a beat as soon as she comes back up, Yuri brings her fist back and then thrusts forth a blast of chi aimed at Megane. Apparently, she's ready to show off some of her stronger skills!
COMBATSYS: Megane fails to slow Ko'ou Ken from Yuri with Typhoon Execution.

Yuri 0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0 Megane
Megane blinks. The cheerfulness itself is disconcerting enough, but now she's trying to teach him basic strategy? "...Yes, I would imagine. Are you a teacher here?"
He raises his hands up, palms together, and blades of wind energy begin to form, and then he's hit by the blast of chi in the face, knocking his head to one side, a bit of blood dripping from his lip. The wind in his palms dissipates as he raises a hand up to hold his face.
"Nah, I'm not a teacher! I'm just the princess of Kyokugen that's all!" Yuri says, still grinning as she watches her attack land on Megane. As he comes back up, Yuri shakes her head and tsks. "That's just not gonna do I'm afraid!"
Yuri doesn't do anything, she simply stares with her big grin as she watches Megane recover. Who knows what's going through her mind?
COMBATSYS: Yuri focuses on her next action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/-----==|===----\-------\0 Megane
Megane slowly lowers his hand from his face, and raises his eyes. "I knew you were of the Kyokugen, but I did not know you were royalty. Forgive me for my earlier rudeness, Princess." Said in a ludicrously serious tone.
He stares back at Yuri, his face going blank, and moves a hand up to adjust his glasses.
COMBATSYS: Megane calculates his next move.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/-----==|===----\-------\0 Megane
Sneering a little, Yuri says, "No need to be so formal, though!" She shakes her head at that, believing that Megane is being a tad bit sarcastic, and Yuri doesn't exactly care for sarcasm. She cracks her knuckles once again, before staring at Megane again.
"So, if you want to keep this up, then I suggest you PREPARE TO DEFEND YOURSELF!" Yuri shouts as she rushes at Megane and attempts to deliver a swift takedown throw.
COMBATSYS: Megane blocks Yuri's Quick Throw.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0 Megane
"As you wish, Yuri." Megane grabs hold of Yuri's arm, and pushes back as she attempts the throw, straining his muscles a bit, but preventing the throw. "You take being a Princess seriously, then?" This is a genuine question, but who knows how it will be interpreted after what he said last.
He grabs at Yuri's arm with his other hand, turns, and tries to hurl Yuri up and over him, and smash her down onto the Dojo floor.
COMBATSYS: Yuri interrupts Strong Throw from Megane with Saiha.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/--=====|======-\-------\0 Megane
"Take it seriously? I'm not just a royal person you know! I'm the flesh and blood of the founder of this art, and I have a lot to live up to!" Yuri says with her eyes wide and staring at Megane. "I'm not just a little girl, you know!" As soon as Yuri recovers from being pushed back, she gets into her ready stance again.
And it's a good thing she's ready, since as soon as Megane attempts to grab her arm, she brings the other one up and brings forth a shield of energy which should knock Megane away while protecting her. Unfortunately, Yuri does get grabbed by Megane and it does hurt a little.
But not as much as that most likely hurt Megane. "Is that your best?!" She asks.
Megane falls back after a moment, rubbing his hands together, before raising his eyes to meet Yuri's again. "It's not my best move, but I'm doing my best, if that's what you mean." He's silent for a moment. "...You may have been too busy to notice, but in the last fight we were in, I was the weakest one there. So if you're still holding something back, please fight me seriously."
He steps forwards, and swings his foot out at Yuri again, but this time, his kick is a little short. However, a blade of wind chi appears as he kicks, slicing towards her.
COMBATSYS: Megane successfully hits Yuri with Wind Blade Kick.

Yuri 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0 Megane
Unfortunately, Yuri can't always defend herself as well as she hopes, and this is one of those cases. Namely because the wind chi that comes at her is something that catches her off guard, like the actual kick was a feint to throw her off. It strikes her directly in the chest (no comments, pervs!) and sends her flying across the area, causing her to land in a semi-crouched position.
"Owww..." Yuri says as she gets up, looking a little bruised now. When she looks at Megane, she's half smirking. "You're pretty tough actually! I like that!" But then the smirk disappears. "But I'm not gonna let you win that easily either! Come on!" Yuri rushes at Megane, and then jumps into the air, spinning around and attempting to land the heel of her shoe in the side of Megane's head!

Yuri 1/-------/=======|=======\=------\1 Megane
Megane starts to step to one side, but the foot connects with his head nevertheless, and he stumbles back a bit, falling down to a knee and placing a hand on the floor to steady himself. He rises to his feet, and walks towards Yuri's new position, frowning slightly.
"I see. Are you weak against feints?" He begins to move his fist as if throwing a punch at her head, hesitates, then actually throws a punch at her head.
COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Megane's Strong Punch.

Yuri 1/-------/=======|=======\==-----\1 Megane
"Me? Weak?" Yuri widens her eyes in disbelief. "Whaddya mean am I weak?! I'm not weak! I'm Yuri Sakazaki!" She glares daggers at Megane, even as he reels back to punch her. "You don't know what you're talking about I bet!" Yuri adds as she brings her defensive stance up again, deflecting Megane's punch to the side. Without missing a beat, Yuri attempts to rush him and deliver a spinning uppercut like the Dragon Punch... but with Yuri's own personal touch!
COMBATSYS: Megane dodges Yuri's Yuri Chou Upper.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/=======|=======\==-----\1 Megane
Megane lunges backwards, throwing himself out of the way of the punch so it just misses his chin. He hits the ground, and rolls back up to his feet. "No, you're stronger than me, but you let your emotions control you. To be honest, I saw the same issue last fight." He adjusts his glasses. "Someone's going to take advantage of that someday if you aren't careful, and you may lose more than just a fight."
He steps back towards Yuri, raises his leg, and stomps his foot down at her leg quickly.
COMBATSYS: Megane successfully hits Yuri with Light Kick.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Yuri 1/------=/=======|=======\==-----\1 Megane
Megane is right, things will be difficult if she keeps things up like this. Yuri's stomped on, and she staggers backwards, holding her spandex-covered leg in pain. She grits her teeth and tries to focus on Megane. "You've got good advice, but can you live up to your own words?" Yuri steps backwards, trying not to show the pain as she grits her teeth through it, focusing on breathing through it instead.
COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/=======|=======\==-----\1 Megane
Megane smiles slightly. "Probably not, but I'll do my best." He lowers his hands back to his side, adopting a neutral position again as he watches her. He's not sure he can keep up against her if she's controlling herself, so he needs to start watching her moves again.
COMBATSYS: Megane calculates his next move.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/=======|=======\==-----\1 Megane
After a few moments, Yuri shakes out her leg to try to ease the pain, before looking at Megane. "I'm not just gonna try my best! I'm gonna give it my all! I'm Yuri and my power is awesome!" And then Yuri brings her arms back behind her, summoning all of her power into her hands, and then sends forth a large blast of chi.
COMBATSYS: Megane overcomes Haoh Sho Ko Ken from Yuri with Hurricane Execution.

Yuri 0/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0 Megane
Megane raises his own hands as he watches Yuri's movement, and holds his palms together, circling them around each other. Many blades of wind chi slide out of his hands, and fly towards Yuri, some of them exploding as they hit Yuri's blast, but he keeps on pouring more out, sending blade after blade towards her, until he finally lowers his hands, breathing heavily.
COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Megane's Hurricane Execution.

Yuri 1/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0 Megane
"Nooooooo!" Yuri shouts as she sees her attack not only neutralized, but now having it literally returned to her. She can't believe it, and all she can do pretty much is raise her guard to deflect it as best as she can. But it's not a lot of good against the attack, since it still hurts her quite a bit. She scowls as she recovers and glares at Megane.
"That's it! Now I'm really mad!" Yuri says as she goes for Megane with a swift left cross, obviously intent on showing just how mad Yuri is.
COMBATSYS: Megane blocks Yuri's Jab Punch.

Yuri 1/-------/=======|===----\-------\0 Megane
Megane raises his hand up to catch Yuri's, staring back at her with furrowed eyebrows. "There isn't anything truly important riding on this fight, so why are you angry?"
"Is this all about the honor of Kyokugen?" He tries to grab her fist and pull her forwards and past him, while sweeping at her leg with one foot.
COMBATSYS: Megane successfully hits Yuri with Quick Throw.

Yuri 1/------=/=======|===----\-------\0 Megane
"It's more than honor!" Yuri snaps back, only to have the rest of her comment cut off as she's grabbed and thrown to the ground. She lays there, writhing in pain as she tries not to let her fighting injuries get the best of her. But it's not easy as it seems she's just whacked her arm good as she went down, meaning it's only one arm she has to get back up with.
"You don't understand," Yuri weakly says, "What Kyokugen is about!" She then attempts to deliver a harsh kick at Megane.
COMBATSYS: Megane dodges Yuri's Strong Kick.

"No, I don't. But part of the reason I wanted to fight you was to learn more about it." Megane drops to the floor, supporting himself on his hands, while Yuri's kick flies over his head. "So please explain to me what Kyokugen is about."
%He pushes himself back upwards and charges forwards, aiming a headbutt at Yuri's stomach.

That's a real dirty hit, as Yuri gets headbutted in the stomach, knocking her backwards and almost knocking her down again. How does she manage to keep her balance?
"Dirty little... you should get a red card!" Yuri comments, as she looks up and glares at Megane. "You really think you've got me, don't you? Well, think again!" Yuri brings her chi into her body and then sends forth several large blasts of chi!
COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Megane with Denjin Haoh Sho Ko Ken.
[ \\\\\\\ < > ///// ]
Yuri 0/-------/-----==|=======\-------\1 Megane
Megane raises his hands to block the blasts of chi, and one hand is on the right path in the way of one of the blasts, the rest hit him square on. The one which he gets his hand in the way of, however, is not adaquately guarded, and it twists his hand to the side, blasting his face. He's knocked far back through the air, and smacks into the dojo wall.
"There's no rules in Neo-League about which attacks you can and can't use, and there's no fair or unfair in a real fight, only winning. I usually fight using my environment, but I decided to focus on building my hand to hand skills today, rather than ripping pieces out of your dojo, out of respect for you and Kyokugen."
He narrows his eyes, his hands clenched into fists, as he struggles to stay up. "But now I wonder: is Kyokugen the art of complaining that attacks are unfair?" He raises his hands, unclenches them partly so his palms face out at Yuri, and lets forth another long stream of wind blades, only this time, there's nothing between them and her.
But that's about all he has left, and he tilts, then falls to the ground hard, fighting just to stay concious for a few more moments.
COMBATSYS: Megane can no longer fight.

Even in her weakened state, Yuri somehow manages to keep herself steady enough to avoid the wind blades. She lands on her rear somewhat, but shakes her head nonetheless. "That is not what Kyokugen is about! I'm just voicing my opinions!" Yuri says, attempting to stand but forgetting one arm is injured, and she yelps.
When she does get back up, Yuri looks at Megane and shakes her head. "Seems I win this one. Maybe next time you'll get me?" She smirks a little.
COMBATSYS: Yuri has ended the fight here.
