Description: Zangief is wracked with self-doubt after his recent poor showing. Heading into deepest Siberia to prepare the region for the arrival of Team Wrestlefiends, he is surprised to be interrupted by none other than Cammy! That irritating Shadaloo-assigned woman who had tried to spread corruption throughout Russia! Sheer fury results, as Cammy finds herself at the full brunt of the Red Cyclone's wrath, and one very unfortunate bear has to prepare for the fight of its life in days to come.
Times have not been kind to Zangief lately.
The Red Cyclone has taken a beating in the majority of the fights he has been involved in. There are whispers that he might be losing his touch, and that he may be slowing down in his old age. Exactly how old Zangief actually IS, is a mystery that he isn't answering. But either way, he has come back to Siberia, to the frozen wastes, in order to begin preparations for his team. Soon, they would be fighting together, shoulder to shoulder, against all comers. Soon, glory would be brought back to his name! But, he needed, desperately, to prepare himself, and his team.
Right now, Zangief is waist-deep in the snow, trudging through the sparse trees. He needed to reacquaint himself with where the bears were, here, if he was going to inflict his particular brand of training on his teammates. It's no secret that Zangief trains in the deep Siberian wastes, and he has left tracks for miles, not exactly one to worry about subtly.
What might be interesting, is that he has a telescopic rod strapped to his naked back. About fifteen inches in length, at the moment, and with japanese writing on either end. This, is certainly a new part of his wardrobe.
It's like a montage out of Rocky 4 or something, Zangief in the snow, leaving a massive trail as he makes his way through wherever it is he's going, except there's no music. And while maybe Zangief has his inner doubts, these are unknown to Shadaloo, who still have him on their books as a World Warrior, someone to watch.
Right now, it's Cammy who is doing the watching. Settled into the lower branches of a tree, the red cloaked Doll observes Zangief with a pair of binoculars, real subtle like. She has her red cloak on, but not for disguise purposes - it's damn cold out here!
And Cammy is bored. There's nothing to see here aside from a huge, sweaty, hairy, ugly Russian. And so she's not really paying attention when the delicate branch she is sitting on snaps underneath the Doll's muscly weight. Oh no! Falling out of the tree into the snow in sight of Zangief is not even the worst of it, as after falling facefirst into the many feet of snow she slides and slips and slithers on her belly down the snowy hill on her belly, until finally coming to a halt somewhere near Zangief, binoculars still around her neck. She looks up at Zangief, and groans. Cold, spotted, wet, embarassed, and she's sure that even in sub zero temperatures Zangief will still manage to be sweaty.
Zangief stares at Cammy as the doll groans. He ... did not remember it raining women last time he was out here. He's certain that he would remember that.
Recognition dawns on his features, and he narrows his eyes at the woman. A low growl starts in the back of his throat, and he starts to step forwards. "You!" He snarls, "I warned you to stay--"
And suddenly, he's interrupted. A giant bear, towering even above the Red Cyclone, suddenly bursts from the snow behind him, crashing through a tree and sending it flying. This one, apparently, recognizes Zangief. No doubt the wrestler had traumatized it plenty of times in the past, and if Cammy is worried about Zangief-sweat, she's being hopelessly optimistic.
Zangief turns, and meets the bear's roar with one of his own. "GRAAAAAAAAAARGH!" He bellows, and snares the creature by the throat, and the side. With one, powerful motion, muscles strain, and half a ton of enraged bear is sent hurling through the air as though it were the easiest thing in the world. All of it, aiming to crash down heavily on top of Cammy, and cover her in, well, awful, angry bear-smell!

"W-wait, we can discuss this like civilised people?" the Doll offers as she gets up unsteadily. Zangief isn't in a talkative mood though apparently as the next thing that happens is a bear piles into her. A /BEAR/. Well, she never expected that.
The bear is mightily pissed off as well, and there are a few moments of straining and shrieking and biting (the bear doing the biting) as the doll and bear disappear in a flurry of snow, the two going at it furiously for a few moments. Eventually the cloud of snow particles fades, to reveal a bruised, battered and bleeding Cammy, and an unconscious bear. "That was very uncivilised." she complains, swaying a bit, as she jumps up out of the snow to settle upon a tree branch nearby. Four feet of snow is not a good battleground for dodgy Dolls, but she can jump around in the branches, perhaps.
"Let's put this down to experience and each walk away?" she offers. But she's ready if her offer is rebuffed...
COMBATSYS: Cammy calculates her next move.
[\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Zangief 0/-------/-------|==-----\-------\0 Cammy
Cammy's offer is not just rebuffed, it seems to enrage Zangief even more. This woman had dared to try and spy on him, and was now trying to weasel her way out of paying for it?! He'll CRUSH her! He's so genuinely angry, there's not even any words. Just, a terrifying roar which thunders through the area, shaking snow from the trees and sending what little wildlife there is, bear or not, scattering.
Charging forwards, the "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Is broken only as Zangief starts to spin, aiming to crash bodily into Cammy, with both arms outstretched, to slam her up off her feet. Maybe he's trying to help her find her footing in this arena!
Or, more likely, he's trying to break her ribs and smash her into another tree.
COMBATSYS: Cammy auto-guards Zangief's Double Lariat!

Zangief 0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0 Cammy
Cammy is ready now! And she knows Zangief's rage, not too surprising when he just walks up to her and starts spinning, looking to club her with his mighty fists. She actually grabs hold of one arm while he spins at the wrist, and does a little spin on it, using him like a gymast's frame, to launch herself up into the air, spinning delicately, to land right on top of him, legs wrapping around his head!
Assuming she can manage that feat, she'll then try and flip over backwards to send them both into the snow, though hopefully with her on top. Maybe the slippery ground means that the great wrestler can be outwrestled.
COMBATSYS: Zangief Toughs Out Cammy's Frankensteiner!
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Zangief 0/-------/----===|===----\-------\0 Cammy
Zangief's rage has always served him well. It lets him fight on far longer than any sane person would, that's for certain. It must also be said that trying to wrestle a wrestler is not usually a very good option. Zangief is also used to wrestling bears in this terrain. He uses it perfectly to his advantage, letting himself slip, hit the ground, and slide with the ice.
If Cammy isn't /extremely/ quick, she's going to be grabbed by those long legs, and whipped up into the air. If he can get her, her head will be crammed between his legs, and he'll /leap/ into the air.
The very terrain seems to help him, the wind up here is frigid and blasting, and Zangief spins with it, using it to pick up more momentum, before he /drives/ Cammy into the ground with all the force he can muster, aiming to break straight through the ice and the snow, and take Cammy's head with it.
COMBATSYS: Zangief successfully hits Cammy with Screw Piledriver.

Zangief 0/-------/---====|=======\-------\0 Cammy
Cammy is quick, but not quick enough! She's still disentangling from the Russian when she feels enormous arms closing around her. She tries to wriggle free, but is caught! and caught is a bad place to be when Zangief is involved.
Flying through the air is relatively peaceful, though she's shrieking throughout anyway as she's liberally covered with sweat and hair. Sleeping in the snow is relatively peaceful too, it's just the transition phase which is the painful part.
Buried in the snow, the Doll burrows away from him, barely conscious, her blonde head eventually popping up out of the snow like some sort of marmot or mole or something. "Ow..." she grunts, before she jumps out out of the snow, bounces off the trunk of a tree, and launches herself at Zangief, curled up into a tiny ball, aiming to bowl him over into the snow.
COMBATSYS: Zangief endures Cammy's Hooligan Combination.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////// ]
Zangief 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0 Cammy
Zangief is lifted bodily off his feet, but it seems that Cammy may well have awakened some primal ferocity in the man. Where before he'd been fighting for the pride of Mother Russia, to put an end to the nefarious corruption which so hurt Her people, this time, he's fighting just for himself. He's furious, not just because Cammy had come back to Russia despite his warning, but because she'd insulted his honor! As though the Red Cyclone could be convinced to let a weasel like her get away! As though he was just a brute barbarian, uncivilized because of his training practices! GRAAAARGH!
Flecks of spit dot his beard as he rises up, one giant red boot leads the way, aiming to crash heavily into the side of Cammy's head. If he can, he'll literally /tread/ on her head, stomping on the woman again and again for as long as he can keep her on the ground. He couldn't remember the last time he'd been so... angry! Even Seishirou, at least that damned Ninja had shown him some respect!
COMBATSYS: Zangief successfully hits Cammy with Fierce Punch.
Grazing Hit
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////// ]
Zangief 1/-------/=======|=======\-------\1 Cammy
Cammy rolls to one side but she's a bit slower in the snow, and her braid gets caught under Zangief's fist. And as Zangief's fist vanishes downwards into the snow, the braid is pulled, sucking Cammy into the whole as well, head first, with a forlorn sort of shriek.
The Doll, if she was telepathic, would be even more saddened than she already is. She did try to reason with him! She tried!
Half buried in the snow head first, legs kicking, she burrows further down, to find a gigantic treetrunk of a leg. With the snow concealing her totally now, she grabs and heaves! The mountain must be conquered!
COMBATSYS: Zangief interrupts Improvised Throw from Cammy with Banishing Flat.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////// ]
Zangief 1/------=/=======|=======\==-----\1 Cammy
Cammy's leg curls around Zangief's, and the man's eyes flare, bloodshot and crazed. His fury is truly terrifying to behold, and for a moment, Cammy strains against him, trying to bring him down! His leg starts to inch forwards, the man-mountain straining for everything he is worth against it.
And then his clenched fist draws back, flaring with green energy, he ploughs it forwards, smashing bodily into Cammy's face and sending her flying backwards through the snow. Zangief's nostrils flare, and already, he's starting to stomp forwards after her, he's... really not giving her much breathing space in this frozen hell.
Cammy is suffering badly in the snow, alright. Russia's best generals, General November and General December, and also apparently General January, are here to aid Zangief in his struggle. Never invade Russia in winter.
It's time to give it her all! and probably futile anyway at this point, though you never know. The Doll gets propelled away from him in the most painful way possible, and then bounces off a treetrunk to come right back at him again, leaving a trail through the snow. Chaaaaarge! Leading with her best foot forward as it were, to smash Zangief in the stomach and then kick back up at his chin.
COMBATSYS: Zangief Toughs Out Cammy's Spin Drive Smasher!

Zangief 1/--=====/=======|=------\-------\0 Cammy
Zangief refuses to be budged. Bracing himself for the assault, Cammy might as well be hitting a tank. If, tanks could take her kicks. Her foot thuds into his stomach, and then into his chin. But, he remains rooted to the ground. As solid and implacable as a mountain. He shoves his head down after the foot impacts it, and his lips curl up in a low snarl.
Suddenly, he's lashing out. His fist aims to plough into Cammy's stomach, and, if he can manage this, she'll find herself being hefted up into the air. For the first time since the fight began, the Red Cyclone will actually SAY something to Cammy. Unfortunately, if she remembers the last time they met, these words are unlikely to bring much comfort her way.
"ULTIMATE!"
And he'll swing her around, still on his fist, to crash once more through the thick Russian snow. Scoop her up, and again, the air will whip around them as her head is crushed between meaty thighs.
"ATOMIC!"
Skull once more introduced to the ground, it will not end there, as he tries to grab her leg, and fling her into the most solid tree he can find, with all the strength of his ridiculously muscled form.
"BUSTER!"
COMBATSYS: Zangief knocks away Cammy with Ultimate Atomic Buster!
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //// ]
Zangief 0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0 Cammy
This time Cammy actually doesn't think about the sweat and hair, though she is being covered in it liberally yet again. Unable to breathe because of a meaty fist that just embedded itself in her stomach, she flies through the air, crammed between... ugh, meaty thighs? She shrieks! And then stops shrieking as she impacts the ground, upside down.
One long leg of the senseless Doll is easily grabbed, as a fist closes itself around her combat boot, and she disappears into a tree, going right through the tree and out the other side, to vanish from sight down the snowy hill, yet again slipping and sliding over the snow, though this time not even conscious of her rapid descent.
COMBATSYS: Cammy takes no action.

Zangief 0/-------/-----==|
COMBATSYS: Cammy can no longer fight.

Zangief takes a few, deep breaths after Cammy is lost from sight. Assuming, perhaps not without precedent, that she has just run away and he can't see her again. This is why he hates fighting ninja. You just can't catch up to them if they try to get away.
"YES, RUN!" The Red Cyclone thunders, his voice booming around the Siberian plain. "I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN! AT THE TOURNAMENT! YOU AND YOUR MASTERS! HAH! DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW? NOTHING! NOTHING! CAN STOP! THE! RED! CYCLONE!"
Feeling in much better spirits for unleashing some of his pent-up anger, Zangief pauses only to grab the poor, unconscious bear by the scruff of its neck, and hurl it over his shoulder. He'd find a nice, quiet cave for it to recover, and soon... soon... Team Wrestlefiends would be training, Zangief style! HAHA!
