Girls! Why did it have to be girls!!?? After his through butt kicking by the legendary Chun Li, El Fuerte has come to be more aware of the so called fairer sex. He used to laugh at those guys, you know those, the ones that act so insecure and hide away when confronted with girls. Yeah, he thought they had no reason to be afraid and were being silly, how could anyone be afraid of such visions of beauty like Rainbow Mika? But now, after witnessing the power that was Chun Li, he knows...oh he knows!!

They are monsters!!

El Fuerte rubs his palms and runs in place to keep the blood flowing, not wanting to be caught flatfooted in a foreboding place like this. The nerve with those SNF people and making him fight in the worst conditions, not only would acrobatic maneuvers be dangerous here but he has to fight two random opponents at once, wrestling is sort of a one on one fighting style you know? He'll have to make the best of it and jabs the air a bit waiting for his two opponents to show up, dreading their appearance.

Wooh. She's never been to Sunshine City before. It some ways, it definitely lives up to its name... in others, not so much. But Xian is not unused, entirely, to the slumlord style of architecture--she _is_ American after all--and so it doesn't bother her as she walks into the industrial area. She is, however, looking back at the SNF official accompanying her.

"So, wait. Let me get this straight. You -want- us to demolish the area?"

"That's right, Miss Wu."

She stops, turns, looks at the area, then turns back to the official. ".. if you say so, alright then."

That said, and put out of her mind, she walks up to where the area's been roughly marked out, seeing El Fuerte jogging in place. "Ah, there he is, Mr. El Fuerte!" she says, and she jogs the last few steps to get into the area, jumping and twirling to make a flashy entrance as she lands in a wide-footed stance. "Woo-hah!!"

A place like Sunshine City would be perfect for someone like Yuri Sakazaki. A cheerful and optimistic girl who's always a child at heart and in her actions, it definitely summarizes the type of attitude that Yuri generally has about things. In fact, she always seems to add a playful touch to her fighting and her speeches thanks to this sunshine attitude that she has.

While the other two are going to be demolishing the area, Yuri doesn't entirely want to. Namely because this is such a cool place in her opinion. She's here to keep her fighting skills up, but a little destruction might be OK. "All right, you two!" Yuri says as she somersaults into the area, assuming her fighting stance. "It's time to wreak havoc with the Kyokugen Karate style... the most AWESOME fighting style in the world!" Yuri grins before getting into her 'bouncy' fighting stance.

And here we go, the moment he was fearing. Not one, but two girls make their entrance into the soon to be demolished area and face El Fuerte. Why, oh why did he have to get picked for this fight!? Don't the SNF people know anything about post traumatic disorder?? El Fuerte's eyes go wide when he stares at Xian, then he turns to look at Yuri, oh God, they're both using kung fu! (The wrestler can't tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese martial arts) and they're both Asian!

....Just like Chun Li!!

"Oh no! DON'T HURT ME!!"

El Fuerte abruptly turns around and sprints in the other direction from the girls, quite possibly breaking the sound barrier since his plead for mercy was heard a few seconds after he took off running. Clouds of dust are picked up behind him as he starts jumping up to one of the crumbling buildings looking for a place to hide.

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte takes no action.

... "What the--" Xian shakes her head as El Fuerte runs off, then turns towards Yuri.

"... I thought he called himself the Strong, not the Scared... won't be much of a free for all without him, but... what can you do?" she grins. For now, Yuri's her only target and so Xian bows to her, respectfully.

"I've heard of Kyokugenryuu Karate. I'm pretty excited to see it in action!" And speaking of action... Xian starts moving forward, smoothly, her stance still a wide-footed one, arms up and half-cocked, hands curled into fists.

She isn't moving for long, though, or at least not -just- moving--she takes the steps necessary to close in with Yuri--and then she lunges into a sharp, snapping side kick, lenaing her upper body back to counterbalance, and accompanying the kick with a sharp, ringing kiai!

COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Xian's Medium Kick.

"Goody! A fan of my style!" Yuri cheers as she turns to face Xian. She returns the bow as well before returning to her fighting stance. Even with the kiai slightly catching her off-guard, Yuri still manages to catch the incoming kick and deflect it away.

Yuri doesn't stop there either. She attempts to rush in and catch Xian off-guard with an incoming swift punch aimed at the side of her head.

El Fuerte pokes his head from behind one metal support beams where he is hiding. They didn't chase after him? Phew! The wrestler breathes a sigh of relief and opens a bag of nachos to munch on it quietly while watching the two girls duke it out. Maybe some food will restore his bravery, which has been shaken to its very core.

COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Xian with Jab Punch.

Xian is still retracting when Yuri comes sailing in; the swiftness of the Kyokugenryuu's response lands a solid strike to the side of Xian's head, and the Chinese-American girl staggers and stumbles back, shaking her head. "Oof... well, that was lesson one," she says, wryly, bringing her hands back up... and then she glances around. Ah ha...

... -there's- that mask... "'scuse me, Yuri," she says, "I gotta go make sure that guy doesn't just sit around," and she takes off running--for El Fuerte! There is -no way- she's gonna let him get away -that- easy.

On her fifth step, she pushes off, tucks... and looks to flying side-kick ElFuerte right in the head. Now, she -is- coming from a long ways away, but she wants him -involved-.

"Be my guest," Yuri says with a chuckle as she watches Xian go for El Fuerte. "I can wait, and even then that guy doesn't look too threatening either!" Yuri stands in her active stance, waiting to see what happens next.

Nomnonomnom, these nachos need salsa. Though El Fuerte's mind is taken off the fight due to his snacks, at the very least he is not thinking of that horrible woman from last week that totally mopped the ground with him and his companion. The masked wrestler begins to relax and lean on the support beam thinking of better days where he was in the safety of the ring with people that didn't use Kung Fu.

At least until an incoming martial artist school girl flies right towards him with a flying kick causing him to drop his nachos and dive out of the way! "AAY!"

El Fuerte rolls on the empty building hearing the support beam bend and start giving way to the roof as he takes running away. "Leave me alone!" He cries and jumps to another building away from Xian, using his great dexterity to get away from the scary school girls!!

Well, her opinion of Lucha has just gone down several notches--as Fuerte runs away again. Shrugging, she turns back towards Yuri. "Guess he didn't want to fight," she calls, as she moves back towards the Kyokugenryuu girl. She's walking loosely, not in her stance, because she had to go a pretty good distance to get to him--but that doesn't mean she's idle.

"Guess it's just you and me, unless he decides to come down off the roof, or... whatever," she shrugs. Once she's close enough, she puts her hands up again, resuming her Kung Fu stance, very similar to Fei Long's, and she beckons.

"So... bring it."

COMBATSYS: Xian focuses on her next action.

"Wait a minute! Wait a darn minute here!" Yuri says as she watches El Fuerte run away. "Sorry, girl, but that guy needs to get some guts if he wants to be taking part in something like this!" Yuri takes off after El Fuerte, chasing him as best as she can. When she gets in range, she attempts to get his attention with a quick, swift, short-ranged projectile attack.

Screw reputation! Better they say he ran from here than he died here right? El Fuerte absofreakinglutely does /not/ want to tangle with two kung fur practitioners after what he's been through! He runs fast and far away from Xian, jumping from building to building making himself a hard target to hit, caring little if Xian is chasing him now or not, he just wants to keep moving!

"EAAAK!" El Fuerte skids to a stop when there's suddenly one of those kung fu girls in front of him shooting fireballs! Oh the horror! THE HORROR! He puts his arms up to take the chi attack on the forearms and runs right through the blow. "Muchachas Locas!!!" The wrestler accuses the girls and just keeps on running, right towards Yuri swinging a punch right at her mouth to 'persuade' her into getting out of his way.

Heh! Looks like Yuri was able to 'encourage' him more than Xian was. Well, that's okay. She wants to see this 'lucha libre' in action!! Xian turns, laughing, and runs after after both Fuerte and Yuri! If Fuerte finds his courage--well, then this'll be a fight to remember!!

She picks her way nimbly across the field, then, as Fuerte targets Yuri with that punch, well... she can't go after Yuri, she's chasing her, and Xian doesn't attack from behind.

So, she swerves to her right, and then angles in, aiming to catch Fuerte mid-run, with a neat little backflip kick, her feet blazing briefly with orange-red, flaming chi, making a hissing, sizzling sound as it snaps!

Yuri thinks she's got this, but El Fuerte is quicker than she thinks, and she finds herself getting whacked by El Fuerte's punch. "Owww, that hurt!" Yuri says in a half-sarcastic tone of voice. "Now you turn to fight, you wimp! Hmmph!" Yuri scowls a little as she cracks her knuckles. "I'll have to show you how Kyokugen is done!" She spins around and attempts to deliver a spinning hook.

"OUT OF THE WAY!" El Fuerte demands and then punch, right in the kisser for Yuri. The wrestler thinks he is home free and continues to dash towards the building next to him just to find his path blocked by yet another school girl wanting to make a tortilla out of him. "AUGH!" He skids to a stop and actually jumps up to connect a flying kick right into Xian's feet to propel him back. Which as it turns out it's a mistake, for when he lands and whirls around he ends up running face first into Yuri's knuckles as she returns the favor.

"Ungh!!" Great, now he's trapped between the two girls causing him to duck low, eyes wide with alertness. "Uh oh.."

Man, she just can't get -anything- going tonight. Her attempt at a flashy attack rebuffed, Xian regains her feet, flipping backwards once more then landing... and shaking her head. She's got to get her rhythm back, that's for sure. She glances at Yuri, briefly--wondering if the Kyokugenryuu girl will come after her and let El Fuerte escape as he seems to want to... or if there's some unspoken understanding between them.

She seems determined to -hit- this guy, at least once, as she leaps forward, twisting in midair and seeking to bring her right instep down on El Fuerte's shoulder--a twisting, modified version of one of Fei Long's signature flying kicks... and accompanied, again, with a loud kiai.

Yuri stands back, watching as Xian gets a turn at El Fuerte. "Have fun!" Yuri says with a big grin. At first, it seems Yuri's content with letting Xian have a turn, but then she figures why let her have all the fun. "Here I come! Ready or not!" Yuri rushes at El Fuerte, attempting to deliver her own personal style of the dragon punch type attack.

Wellp, that backfired spectacularly! Just as he feared, getting caught between the two girls proves to be utterly disastrous! First he gets kicked in the back causing him to yelp and stumbles forward directly into Yuri's dragon punch, rocking him solidly in the chin! "HNGH!!" The luchador and sails right through the roof of the building where they are landing somewhere on the 7th floor or such. "Pain..." There he just lays and tries to pop his bones back on their respective place.

Xian is satisfied, for now--at least she managed to hit the slippery luchadore. Xian lands, rolls forward--just past where Fuerte was--and pops back up, turning around to face Yuri. She can't, in good conscience, go after Fuerte again so soon, and so it's with a half-apologetic, half-eager expression that she turns her attention to Yuri.

"Pretty good uppercut there," she comments, with a smile. And then... well, then she's flipping backwards, looking to stun Yuri with a pair of toes to the chin, and using the momentum from her backflip to lunge forward, looking to plow into Yuri's chest and flip her onto her back with a shoulder in her gut--and then flip away just afterwards.

Yuri finds herself tossed and flipped more than once, then lands flat on the ground. She finds herself in a bit of pain as she gets back up and dusts herself off. "That was a cool move," Yuri says with a slight smirk. "Will you teach me how to do it sometime?" She adds before attempting to get a few cricks out of her neck and arms.

Right...where is he again? Mexico City? No, doesn't quite smell as foul. The Luchador shakes his head as he begins to stand up after getting sandwiched between two school girls. To think that's some men's fantasy, hah! They know nothing!! NOTHING!! He has stared into the face of evil and lo' thine name is school girl!

The Luchador isn't down and out just yet though. Even if his fear overwhelms him and mind tells him to stay the frig down, his body urges him to press on and do /something/ to redeem himself. He managed to score a few hits on Chun Li back there, these two aren't invincible, just as she isn't.

Realizing that he'll never be stronger if he doesn't face his fears, El Fuerte rolls right out of the way and jumps down the hole he made, down to the floor right above where the girls decided to start fighting. The Luchador then uses the elements and jumps high to stop on the crumbling floor, breaking it to crash right through it and give Xian's head a double stomp right in the scalp.

"Sorry, trade secret! I developed it myself, I can't just give away my secrets!" That's said with a smile--she means it, but she's not gonna be mean about it. Xian starts forward--and then, suddenly, flying luchadore feet!

"Whoa!" shouts Xian, as she throws her arms up, absorbing the force of the attack on her forearms, using some of it to alter her direction so she doesn't go straight in for Yuri, and she slips out from underneath Fuerte, turning to face both of her opponents. "Well! Glad you came to the fight, Mr. Fuerte! I've been wanting to see lucha libre!" She looks back and forth, for a moment, as if deciding, then takes a mental coinflip--and nods to herself, taking a quick couple of steps then dropping down, looking to sweep Yuri's legs out from underneath her.

"Didn't let him rest, won't let you either!!"

"Well, then don't ask me to tell you any secrets either!" Yuri says with a raspberry and a smirk. "Because I don't give away secrets if you won't!" Yuri doesn't even flinch as the sweep comes at her, as she leaps up above the sweeping kick and avoids it completely. "Missed me!" Yuri exclaims before rushing in and attempting to throw Xian to the side.

Well blocked! That could have hurt if Xian hadn't defended herself. El Fuerte jumps away from the martial artist girl giving her a strange look when she claims she has waited to see his fighting style in action. "Eh! Hard to wrestle two opponents at the same time senorita!" Let's make this as confusing as it can get, maybe he'll get lucky and find a good opening in the chaos. Since Xian is rushing Yuri, the masked luchador runs right behind her and jumps clear over her head when Yuri goes for the counter throw. However, as he lands right behind the two girls he doesn't wait for Yuri to finish her throw and promptly grabs her bay the back of her head, sweeping her feet in the process to push her downwards in order to slam her face into the pavement. Or onto Xian's head! Doesn't matter!

"Fair enough! Besides, I can't teach yet anyways. I'm not a master. Not even close!" As Yuri lunges, Xian doesn't resist--but when she's thrown, she rolls with the impact, minimizing it as much as possible and popping back to her feet, just as Fuerte goes after Yuri. That makes Xian have to wait, just a bit, but when he pops back up...

Well, Xian is right there, aiming a one-inch-punch right for Fuerte's solar plexus, complete with high-pitched 'WATAAAAAAAAAH!" and the googly, wild-eyed glare, though she takes it to a comical point, not seriously intense about it.

"That was pretty good," Yuri says. "Wait, you're going after him? Oh no you don't!" Yuri rushes after Xian, attempting to deliver a flying kick at her from behind. Cheap, sure, but since when has Yuri cared about how she fights?

Comical or not, it still freaks El Fuerte out having tangled with the likes of Chun Li very recently. It's even worse since she used a similar attack on him on their match and he overreacts to the attack by smacking Xian's arm out of the way before it reaches his chest.

The masked luchador then grabs hold of Xian's arm with both his hands and sneaks right under her, pulling the school girl's arm down to slam it against his shoulder and injure her elbow!

Her sifu drilled her constantly about awareness. "ALWAYS BE WATCHING!" he would shout, as he swung his cane at her knees, elbows, buttocks, head... and she learned, eventually. So when Yuri comes flying at her, Xian twists, throwing her free arm out in a countering strike--literally, counteracting the impetus that Yuri has when she's flying at her! It's quite the trick, and one she couldn't possibly perform reliably.

Now, if it had been one -or- the other, she probably could have dealt with the attack. But both? That's a bit tough, mechanically speaking. By the time she's done dealing with Yuri, Fuerte has a good grip on her arm--

--and when he yanks it down, not only does he stress her elbow--but he sends her flying, tumbling into a wall that crashes. She reappears shortly, looking rather the worse for wear but not terribly out of it.

"Nicely done," Yuri compliments her opponent, only to wince as she watches El Fuerte get the upper hand with Xian. With Xian down on the ground, Yuri faces El Fuerte once again. "All right, big guy! It's you and me again!" Yuri rushes in and attempts to grab El Fuerte. If successful, she'll slap him in the face and then uppercut him away!

Xian wanted to see Lucha Libre in action and she gets to see Lucha Libre in action, or in this case, experience it. El Fuerte's famed elbow snapping throw comes into play and he tosses far away after popping her elbow a little. Not too much though, Lucha Libre isn't meant to be fatal, but at least maybe Xian won't think of him as a complete coward. Maybe. It's not his fault he is running away so much, you would too if you had gone through what he did last week!

Besides, running around in circles isn't a bad strategy, provided you have the stamina to back it up. It makes you a slippery target and you can maneuver around attacks like say; surprise incoming upper cut from Yuri "No otra vez!" Not again says El Fuerte in Spanish and hops out of the way of the attack, only to catch Yuri in mid air, flip her around and slam her back on his bent knee to injure the girl's dorsal spine; wrestling style.

Xian does, really, just take a moment to watch El Fuerte work. If he gets that catch, at least. She isn't waiting idly, of course, but she doesn't feel quite right in explicitly doubleteaming Yuri, so she waits just a moment, and then, once Fuerte is cleared out and Xian's able to move around to face Yuri, she smiles.

"Here I come!!" she shouts, and she jumps in at Yuri, aiming not a kick, but a flying, overhead knuckle, targeted right for Yuri's forehead, that trademark sharp kiai firing off as she flies forward.

Yuri seems to be a bit out of it right now, since she manages to deflect Xian away with her energy shielding Saiha, even though Xian does hit her. But then El Fuerte gets a hold of her and there's nothing she can do but go along for the ride. When she's slammed down, Yuri bounces off of El Fuerte's leg, then goes flying through TWO buildings, both of them going down as she flies through them. On the outside of the second building, in the rubble, a small hand sticks out to wave as if to say, "I give up!"

Aha! So it appears the great and mighty martial artist school girls are not invincible after all! El Fuerte usually doesn't do such violent techniques such as a back breakers, but drastic situations require drastic measures. He gives Yuri's vertebrate a good pop letting the girl stand up afterwards and then cringes when Xian mercilessly comes after her with a punch which the two exchange, sending Yuri flying out of the way going through several walls and landing under a pile of rubble.

"Well.." El Fuerte whistles and starts to step back from Xian, rubbing her shoulder to loosen up a bit. "Don't think she's going to get up after that one." And wasn't it Yuri who said he looked harmless? That's karma for ya. Oh well. "What do you think of Lucha Libre so far senorita?" The wrestler lowers his upper torso getting ready for round two versus Xian.

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte takes no action.

Chi shield blasts through Xian's body and hurls her away, check. But she manages a neat midair tumble and lands on her feet--wobbly, but capable. It's too bad Yuri went down like that, really, but in a free for all it's kind of inevitable, really. "What do I think of Lucha Libre? I think it looks pretty awesome!!" And then, she winks.

"But my martial artist's heart belongs to Fei Long and the Hiten-Ryu school of Kung Fu! For the honor of my school--I'll give you everything I have!!" And then she takes off in a run, getting up to speed quickly--and then stopping suddenly--and thrusting her hands out, forming a brilliant, brief, burst of that yellow-red-range fiery chi.

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte blocks Xian's Dragon's Claw.

El Fuerte gives a nervous laugh when Xian responds like that. It's that same cheeky expression that the other woman did! Augh! Will he ever get over that he wonders? He's taking a step in the right direction at least, and that is fighting his fears! "Good! I feared that you were thinking any less of me for running away at the beginning." The wrestler was honestly scared, but it only took a couple of punches to break through his initial concerns and now he is back to his usual brave self.

"HMMRAAAH!!" Using his luchador might, he shoulder bashes the energy ball coming his way and rushes directly towards Xian to get her in grappling distance. "Let's go Kung Fu chica!" Just like Xian he really does want to prove that his fighting style is the best, and he is just one step closer after taking down Yuri. Only this girl stands in his way now. Running directly at her, El Fuerte extends his open palm right for Xian's face and bends her over backwards, indenting to slam the back of her head on the ground!

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte successfully hits Xian with Medium Throw.

"GLMPH!!" That is the sound a girl makes when her face is palmed by a luchadore. That crash?

That's the sound made when she's bounced off the ground. The impact is thunderous--not only to her, but to a support beam, which cracks, setting off more destruction on the site--safely far away from the two fighters. If one thinks about it, this is really something of a deathtrap...

But Xian, bouncing after the slam, gets back to her feet, staggering. "Ooh... that was painful..." She's probably bleeding--but she doesn't care. Price of playing, after all. Another stagger, and then she straightens.

"... alright... I can't back down now!!" Drawing her hands to her hips, cupped together, she suddenly blazes with power--a fiery aura springing up around her for a moment, before concentrating in her hands... and then she pushes them out and unleashes an enormous blast of that fiery chi.

It's no mistake that the beam-like blast of energy is fronted with what looks vaguely like a dragon's head.

COMBATSYS: Xian successfully hits ElFuerte with Dragon's Soul.

You know, one of these days El Fuerte should really learn how to shoot those energy beams. They seem like a nice thing to have, not to mention that just about everyone he's faced recently has them. Surely they can't be all that hard to learn and what is to say a wrestler can't tap into the spirits of Lucha Libre and shoot some---taco shaped energy balls--actually on second thought, El Fuerte realizes why he shouldn't be able to fling chi around.

He achieves this philosophical conclusion amidst of being engulfed in an energy beam shaped like a dragon. The wrestler has no room to dodge in this cramped building and just does what he can, putting his fists up to take the blow in the forearms feeling them burn his skin off as well as a good chunk of his mask. "Ay....caramba.." He looks drained, but not out, not just yet! Taking a deep breath as he shakes of his sizzled form, the wrestler is back again with a fierce charge. "HRUUUAAAA!!" This time he goes for an even more devastating attack and catches Xian's wrist again, jumping up to wrap both his lags around her arm to drag her down and give a sharp twist to dislocate her shoulder. Or at least push it out of the joint enough so she can't use that arm.

COMBATSYS: Xian fails to counter Propeller Tortilla from ElFuerte with Crescent Moon.

Last Stand at the Sunshine City--oh, nevermind. Xian sees him coming, but he's just a touch faster than she is--and that wins him the day; his powerful grappling technique is more than adequate enough to take Xian out of the fight. It doesn't knock her out--but the dislocation of her arm, painful and temporarily debilitating, draws a sharp cry of pain from the girl--and when it's over, she holds up her good hand.

"... enough, I concede." She looks pained--but not angry. "That... was a good fight. Thank you for showing me your lucha libre, Mr. Fuerte. After this is fixed," she says, glancing at her dislocated shoulder, "--I want to fight you again." She smiles through her pain, and then submits to the medics who lead her away.

El Fuerte sprawls out on the ground next to Xian when she taps out and exhales out. That was one hell of a fight and it really pushed him to his very limits. Honestly if that hadn't been enough to take Xian down he was probably done for. "Anytime chica...anytime." The Luchador stays down, eyes closed and then...

*K-K-KRUMBLE!*

"Wait, did we knock out the support beams for the building!?" OH SHIIIII---El Fuerte hurriedly goes to pick Xian up and dash out of the crumbling building, jumping through a window along with Xian as everything crumbles behind them.

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte has ended the fight here.
