Description: Ken Masters, the main man of the Neo League, takes on two challengers at once: Karin Kanzuki and Fiolina Germi. Will might make right, or will there be a victory assured in numbers? (Winner: Ken)
The announcers are a bit miffed about this assignment, as it came directly from the higher ups, but who are they to complain? They get paid to travel the world and cover the fights for the league, but sometimes the assignments are quite troublesome.
"Today we're broadcasting LIVE and on location here in beautiful China, with a bit of a shocker match. Today folks, mark it down on your calendars, for its the day that will live on in the hearts of all the fans world wide. Today, is /the/ day. Yes ladies and gentlemen! Making his triumphant return to the world of fighting, in his first official match of some time with the Neo League, is non other then....
A large stage has been built here, with three magnificent chinese dragons adorning it, one red, one white, and one blue. A path adorned with paper lanterns leads its way to a comparitively tame clearing, surrounded solely by torches that each have what appear to be a flame matching the colors of each one of the dragons. The crowds that have gathered slowly draw to a hush, allowing the announces once more to continue with their job.
"Ladies and Gentlemen.. We will first present our challangers to this glorious and innagural exhibition match, which will be a taste of things to come for the Neo League as a whole.. First, from Genoa Italy, aged Twenty Three, and weight Fourty Three Kilograms! Itttssss Fiolina Germi! Legendary Member of the Peregrine Falcons!"
"Our second challanger, hails from the land of the Rising Sun, is aged Seventeen, and weighs a good Fourty Six Kilograms, the heir to the Zaibatsu conglomerate, is non-other then the master of the Kanzuki-ryu Kakutoujutsu, KARIN KANZUKI!!!!"
The announcers seem to be a bit nervous about this last one, as the dragons upon the stage slowly start to spew forth smoke, covering the stage entirely. Almost as if it were the calm before the storm, the announcers voice slowly grows to a hush.. "King of the United Staters Martial Arts Tournament, victor of the Two-Thousand Five King of Fighters Challange.. Owner of the Neo-League, CEO of the Masters Corporation, President of the Howard Buisness' Conglomerate.."
A form slowly starts to step out from the smoke, which then suddenly takes to the air, a trail of crimson flames following after it, "KEN MASTERS!"
*Twitch*Twitch* go Karin's eyebrows as she tries to remain quiet during the announcements, but after several moments, the blonde heiress' has a bulging vein on her forehead, as she suddenly yells towards the announcers, "CAN'T YOU GET ANYTHING RIGHT?! It's 'KANZUKI ZAIBATSU', not 'Zaibatsu CONGLOMERATE'! Don't you do your research at all!? I've heard school children make better announcements than you!" She -doesn't- correct the fact that she's not quite the master of her style yet, nor the weight announcement, as they're considerably more flattering than the real thing.
Karin hmphs and mutters, "So unprofessional..." Before glancing up at Ken and smiling, "Putting the terrible help aside, I'm honored that you chose me for your first official match, Ken Masters." Her fight with him in Jordan being off the record. She does glance towards Fio and hmmms, "It should be an interesting fight at any rate."
Fiolina Germi has been to many places in her lifetime, and China happens to be one of them. But this is one of the first times that she's come here for the purpose of fighting in the Neo League. And then there's the fact that she's actually fighting against the founder of the league himself: Ken Masters. This guy is pretty tough, and Fio knows it. She probably wouldn't stand much of a chance against him on her own, which is why she's glad she's taking him on with a partner. While she's never met Karin Kanzuki before, she's heard of her family's name before and knows that they're not Zaibatsu. Those announcers apparently don't know anything.
At least they get Fio's name right, as well as the fact she was born in Genoa, Italy. When her name is mentioned, Fio stands up and waves to the crowd, albeit feeling like there's something missing... then she realizes she doesn't have her hat on! She goes wide-eyed and looks around, before finding her hat is on the ground by her feet. Blushing a little, she puts her hat on and adjusts it, before turning to wave to the crowd once again. "Uh... what was I going to say?" Fio looks lost for words for a moment before nodding, "Oh yes! H-hi everyone! This is gonna be a great fight today... uh, I think?" She does look to Karin and gives her a polite, albeit somewhat uneasy, nod.
The flame-handed man comes landing slowly down upon the ground, only to give a thumbs-up towards the camera. Ken Masters has arrived, and the crowd is errupting in cheers and roars, because it really isn't that often that an exhibition match like this comes along, nor is it often that the Owner himself takes apart in a match, one that seems to be a new and defining moment for the league as a whole.
It doesn't take long for Ken to make his way down to the makeshift 'ring', bowing slightly towards Fio, and then towards Karin. "Don't go easy on me just because I own this thing you two. In this ring, I'm the same as you. A competitor." To emphasize this point, he immediatly prepares himself, sliding into his famed fighting stance, and motioning towards the two women. "Come on."
Karin hmphs a little, as she says, "What kind of fight would this be if I went easy on you?" She does feel that familiar thrill of getting into a fight as she shifts into her own stance. While Karin admired Ken as a fighter, she didn't try to emulate his fighting style, not like someone -else- she knew.
She glances at Fio, and says, "Are you good to go?"

All the while, Ken has been getting a nonstop stare from Fio, her mouth hanging open in awe at the fighter. She doesn't initially notice Karin's comment, so it takes a moment before she does a double take and looks to Karin. "Oh... uh, yes, I'm good to go!" She grins nervously, as if she's trying her hardest not to look nervous. But it's not looking that good.
It doesn't take long for Ken to find himself, especially after the beating he last received. He knows what Karin is capable of, but Fio is his main concearn right now. She's the unknown factor every fighter tries their best to overcome, and right now, wether the italian girl realizes it or not, she's going to be his primary focus.
If Ken were made of anything weaker, he'd be afraid of two opponents at once, but thankfully, he's a true beast in the ring when it comes down to it, and to prove this point, he suddenly rushes forward, heading straight for Fio, swinging his leg towards her midsection with a well placed kick.

Even though Ken is making his rush for Fio, his kick is stopped mid-swing by Karin, who dashed into the path of the kick and blocks it with her hands, and smirks, "You'll start with me, Ken Masters!" With that, she tries to dart in and grab him by the gi, and make a quick toss over her shoulder to the ground.
While Fio appreciates having a partner on her team, she's kind of caught off-guard by Karin's sudden rush to attempt to protect her. She may not be as powerful as Ken, or even Karin for that matter, but that doesn't mean she can't hold her own. Of course, that's not what Fio is saying at the moment. "Uh, thanks... but I could've done that... I think?" Fio steps to the side as Karin goes after Ken, watching how the two handle each other while she mentally prepares her own course of action.
COMBATSYS: Fio focuses on her next action.

There's a bit of a surprised look in Ken's face as Karin suddenly gets in his way, causing him to frown slightly at her words. "If you want it like that." There is a slight motion in his hands as he quickly knocks her hands aside as she moves to grab him, only to pull back, and duck down, unleashing his most famed move upon the poor girl.

Karin goes wide eyed as Ken manages to get himself out of her grip and goes for the Shoryuken. She only has the instant to consider her options, but steels herself as she surprisingly TAKES the punch, and winds up flying in the air with as Ken rises with the uppercut.
However, she still grabs for his punching arm, and tries to put him into an armbar, so that she can drag him back down to the ground with her, slamming him into the ground.
Meanwhile, Fio has been watching Karin and Ken go at it together, and decides that while Karin's got Ken distracted, Fio will attempt to catch him off guard. She attempts to dash in and deliver a swift strike with her trusty tonfa. It may not be as tough as other fighters, but it can still pack a punch most likely!

Once more Mister Ground! Hi! How are you? Ken's doing just fine as you can see! Oh? What's that Mister Ground? You're REALLY tired of Ken visiting? Don't worry. He is too.
Karin finds herself in arather strange predicament, especially as Ken rises to the ground, even after being slammed down onto it, raising his other arm to block the tonfa, grinning slightly as he ducks down, only to leap high into the air, spinning like a cyclone, his right leg extending outwards, moving to suck both Fio and Karin in for a series of painful blows.

Karin realizes too little too late that she's way too close to Ken when he comes at them whirling like that, and gets send flying despite her efforts, crashing to the ground with a groan of pain. The Kanzuki heiress pushes herself slowly to her feet, and takes a breath, badly needing a breather now.

Fio doesn't exactly feel like getting kicked by Ken right now. Then again, who would want to? She adopts her standard defensive stance and attempts to protect herself against the incoming kick, but even the best defense can be a bit painful when your opponent is tougher than you are. Fio finds herself staggering backwards and reeling in pain from the blocked attack, but she shakes it off all the same. "Oh, that must've been one of your more powerful attacks?" She comments, before attempting to rush in and deliver a swift kick with her boot.

Theres a time and a place for booting people, and Ken seems to understand this as he braces himself, taking the full impact of Fio's boot to his stomach. Of course, he's pulling back slightly, a blue ball of chi forming in his hands, only to thrust it towards Fio. "HADOUKEN!" It seems that for now, he's letting poor Karin get that breather she so badly needs.
Karin just keeps on with her breather, as she watches Ken and waits for a better opening than she currently has, as she mumbles to herself, "He's just plowing through... Like it was easy..."
COMBATSYS: Karin gains composure.

Another one of Ken's powerful moves, Fio is powerless to even think about avoiding it. She finds herself getting hit and knocked across the fighting arena, crashing into a nearby wall and landing in a semi-seated position, her glasses slightly crooked and her hat falling off. After shaking the dizziness off, Fio stands up and puts her hat back on, adjusting her glasses and looking towards Ken. "He's... pretty tough..." Fio says to herself as she also focuses on catching her breath.

There is a bit of a problem for Ken. He's doing far better then he normally is doing, and decides that he isn't going to hold back whatsoever, taking the beating he received from that tengu-masked freak to heart. He rushes towards Karin, jumping into the air and raising his right leg up, only to bring it crashing down towards her, aiming for the top of her head.

Karin goes wide eyed eyed as Ken leaps at her, but smirks as she spies an opening, and shifts her position in order to catch Ken's leg while he's flying at her, and spins him off course, and reintroduces him to Mr. Ground.
She then takes a step back as she says, "Like I'm going to be defeated that easily, Ken Masters."
As Karin puts Ken on the ground, Fio nods a little with a slight smirk. "That was pretty good," She comments. But then she remembers that she's still got to deal with Ken who will most likely attempt to get back up shortly. "Not if I can do something about it... uh right?" Fio thinks out loud to herself as she leaps into the air, and then attempts to deliver a fierce dropping kick into Ken, like she just released herself from her parachute.
COMBATSYS: Ken blocks Fio's Parachute Dive.

There's a wise saying. Don't go poking a bear with a stick, unless you really want to be mauled. Or was that don't give bears picnic baskets? Ken really isn't quite sure of it anymore, but what he does know is that nice little feeling he has in the pit of his stomach, even after he's on the ground. Of course, as he tries to get up, there's Fio trying to keep him down, which he really just can't allow. He raises his arms to take the brunt of her attack, but he is able to get back up to his feet, even if he does crouch down low once again.
His right foot suddenly starts to glow brightly with chi, little wisps of flame leaping off of it. He leaps forcefully into the air, spinning the chi-laden foot alongside his body, creating a flaming vortex of which he hopes to catch both Karin and Fio within.

Karin goes wide eyed as she watches Ken come at them with those fiery kicks. Her efforts at blocking get broken through easily as she gets beaten up badly, the flames roaring around her as she cries out in pain. However, she doesn't want to go down like that.
In one last ditch effort, Karin lets out a scream and leaps back at ken, her arms whirling as she tries to strike Ken with nine consecutive palms. "KOU'OU KEN!"

There's no way Fio can get out of the way in time from Ken's incoming attack. It took out Karin, and now Fio's on the verge of being knocked out as well. In desperation, Fio's mind goes a million miles a minute, before thinking of her last-ditch attempt to get one last hit in on Ken. She staggers fast towards Ken, brings out one tonfa and attempts to strike Ken with it. If it succeeds, Fio will use that to get Ken into a vulnerable position and bring her other tonfa out to inflict even more damage.

The moment Karin lands on the ground again, she only has all of few seconds of balance before falling over to the ground, losing consciousness upon falling.
As Karin uses the last of her stamina to unleash her final attack, Ken's already bringing his arms up, blocking each one of the hits in succession. Of course, his arms sting a little bit after that, but he's quickly moving to the side, knocking Fio's tonfa cleanly away from his body with his left hand. It's obvious to everyone whose watching, this fight is more then over.
Ken quickly however moves towards Karin, moving to get her off the ground, and placing her on a stretcher as the medical team rushes forward. He quickly moves towards Fio, trying to check on her and make sure that she's okay.
The announcer however seems to have taken this time to start speaking once again. "Well ladies and gentlemen! There you have it! Of course, there have been rumors flying around the league headquarters that Mister Masters has big plans for the league, and a subsequent alteration in some of our rules and practices! Just what exactly does Ken have in mind for the league?!"
COMBATSYS: Ken has ended the fight here.
