Sagat - Scouting Mr. Jones

Description: Sagat has done some thinking about Ken's offer to be a mentor to some of the fighters in his new NDP idea. Not quite sold on it yet Sagat has decided to check out some of these fighters. Who better to start with than the funky fighter Johnny Jones? Can he prove to Sagat that this league can be a good thing?



It has been about a week since the world found out in a big way that a certain former Emporer of Muay Thai had not died near the end of King of Fighters. Sagat showed himself to be alive by appearing and fighting Ken Masters for Saturday Night Fights and in it he showed he has not slowed down a step from his months of living in seclusion in Sri Lanka. What Sagat did not expect is the request Ken had made and asked for Sagat to act as some sort of mentor for the new league he created. A league to help in the development of young or new fighters to improve and eventually move to the actual Neo League.

It was an interesting request, but one Sagat is not ready to fully jump on board with. He still has other things to consider such as possible attacks from Shadaloo now that Vega will certainly know that Sagat is around and might cause problems for the organization. Even so he isn't going to outright refuse just yet. He wants to see what the league has to offer fully before he makes any sort of decision. That is why he large man finds himself entering the Duck Pond.

It is not the kind of place the Thai warrior would be found in normally, but one of the more interesting prospects in the league supposedly frequents the place. Mr. Jones has made a bit of a name for himself for being a hard hitter despite being a bit on the strange end. As someone that might be a favorite to make it far in the league Sagat figures he is a good one to check into first. That is why people start to go silent as the large fighter steps in dressed in sweatpants and a tanktop. It isn't exactly easy to find clothes in his size so he always keeps it simple. "Jones. Where is he?"

Being famous and putting his name out there in the public is what Johnny Jones does best. He attracts a lot of attention to himself be it good or bad, so it shouldn't be all that surprising to him when tough mo fo's like Sagat start looking for him. In fact, this is the kind of thing he hoped for, Tha' Jones is back in town and it should only be fitting that strong fighters wish to seek him out and see what's up.

"No no no! It's weave, weave, jab, slide, kick, uppercut." If he's worried about attracting bad publicity to himself he definitely does not show it. Because it's really early in the morning, the Duck Pond is currently pretty deserted with just a few stragglers left behind from the last part and staff cleaning up the place, it is a moment that Jones takes to share some moves with Duck King and they both can be seen dancing in unison further up the dance floor. "I thought it was weave, weave, slide, jab, kick uppercut!" Too involved on their discussion, they fail to see the tall muscled Muay Thai fighter waltzing inside which leaves a nervous looking waitress to comply with Sagat's request.

"R-r-right this way..." The girl shakingly makes her way down to the dance floor leading Sagat and gets Mr. Jones attention, right before moving out of the way sensing that something bad is about to go down. "Hm? What's up?" Johnny Jones adjusts his ever present shades and looks waaaay up at Sagat's face, a goofy grin plastered on his face. "Heeey....you?" Is he supposed to know this guy?

Funny how Duck King soon can't be found if Jones decides to turn back around and ask if the club owner knows who Sagat. The answer would be use by the way the dancer was quickly exiting the dance area. The large fighter doesn't say anything for a few long moments as he just looks over the other man. Appearances may not be everything, but the man certainly doesn't look like what Sagat had expected. This guy has really been putting up good fights and taking down people left and right?

He starts to wonder the shape of the rest of the league if that is the case and who all just might be involved. he should probably fully look at the roster sheet if he can get Ken or one of the NDP officials to hand it over to him. Probably the latter otherwise Ken might think Sagat is already on board with the idea if he asks directly. "Johnny Jones?" he asks finally after a few more moments of awkward silence. The large fighter crosses his arms over his chest as his single eye narrows a bit, still eyeing the man dubiously as he wonders if he should even bother or just turn around. He did come out all this way so maybe he should just go ahead and challenge him.

Actually, that's not a bad idea at all, Mr. Jones does indeed get the feeling that he should know who this guy is and thinks that maybe his home boy Duck might have an idea. "Hey Duck--" But when he looks over his shoulder, Duck is not there anymore, the only sign of his presence is the emergency exit door closing shut. "Duck?" In fact, this place suddenly got really quiet, where did everybody go?

There's tension in the air, and Mr. Jones feels that he should be scared or at least worried, yet he shows not any sign of wanting to run away. As always, Mr. Jones faces danger with the groove backing him up and he just stands there and ~grins~ "Guess he had to...preen his mohawk or somethin'" Is the disco fighters reasoning and he nods at the question. "That's me baby, Mista' Johnny Jones Damon, what can I do for ya?" Poor Jones, he has no idea who is he dealing with and it sucks that he missed Sagat's SNF fight because he was taking care of his own at that time. One can't blame Sagat for doubting however, it's hard to believe this silly looking man is a threat to anyone, much less a fighter of any sort.

The larger fighter looks to the door when it is closing shut as well then his gaze meets Jones again. Those who have stuck around are keeping distance, but watch with morbid curiousity why the former Emporer would have any interested in a fighte like Mr. Jones. A few more moments of awkward silence is had as Sagat decides what to do, but eventually he speaks up once again. "I want you to hit me as hard as you can." he simply states and with that said he turns around and he starts to walk away.

He isn't leaving. Oh no. He is just giving Jones some room while also removing the tanktop that he is wearing. He turns about and muscles grow tense as the large fighter takes a deep breath and then slowly lets it out. If the crowd wasn't curious at first they certainly are now. It isn't like Sagat randomly comes into a place and picks fights every day. Others are also left wondering if Jones is crazy enough to accept the request and if so what the outcome might be in the end.

COMBATSYS: Sagat has started a fight here.

Well that's a bit of an odd request, even a nut job like Mr. Jones is taken back by such a thing. Unlike Sagat he does have the tendency of waltzing into places and picking fights, so tough challenges of that nature are quite common to him, but in his case he does against gang members that have been harassing the local populace. He is after a hero and fighting evil doers is in part of his resume. Random street fighting? Not so much, although it happens every now and then.

"Well...anything for a fan I guess." Mr. Jones aims to please, maybe this is some kind of hidden camera thingy and this guy's a robot, he certainly has the personality for it. "I normally do autographs though." Jonesy shrugs slightly and fixes his shades before taking one step back. This guy is muscled as all hell, Jones is sure he can take the heat and who is he to deny a fan's request? Surely Sagat must have watched some of his movies, right? Maybe? Hopefully. They're not /that/ old school.

Adopting a stance first making it very clear that he's going to attack Sagat, Jonesy rest his fist on his hip and EXPLODES forward to ram his knuckles right into Sagat's sternum! That's one way to give an autograph.

Sagat himself hasn't taken the time to take up a fighting stance just yet. He keeps his grond and remains standing straight and open for attack it would seem. Even when Jones comes sailing in to plant his fist against the sternum of the the larger fighter Sagat doesn't flinch. In fact the impact is like hitting something of a brick wall in this case and other than a small grunt elicited by Sagat there isn't much else that can be said about how effective it might have been against the Muay Thai warrior.

"Hmm, interesting." he finally says and it seems like Sagat is finally ready to move. In this case Mr. Jones is tested to see how fast he can react to being attacked now. Even if the smaller fighter takes time to try and move away he soon finds himself dealing with a large leg being lifted and swung about to slam into the man's shoulder at full speed. for being so large the kick is a quick one. It won't feel very nice either if it manages to connect.

......ouch. That /is/ like hitting a brick wall! What the eff!? Mr. Jones' goofy grin flinches momentarily when it seems that the attack hurt him more after his knuckles collided with those washboards like abs. He tries to hide the pain though and returns to a ready position which Sagat, being the experienced fighter that he is, will recognize as Jeet Kune Do. Even if Jones is all jokes and playfulness it seems that he does have a legit fighting style backing him up.

As for himself, Jones is studying this strange individual closely and assumes correctly by the bandaged up arms and feet he does kickboxing of some sort. This ends up saving his life since kickboxers are renown for their ability to kick and he figured that if Sagat was going for a counter attack it was going to be with his feet. Sure enough, Jones looks down and sees the man's foot starting to lift up and decides that, he doesn't feel like getting kicked in the face that early in the morning. So because he just didn't want to deal with it at all, Jones steps on Sagat's foot before the kick ever gets started and starts moonwalking away, hands on his pockets, eyebrows wiggling. "So...what's your name dawg? You a fan of my movies?" He's not sure who this guy is, or why is he wants to fight, but he better stay focused.

So the man can fight. It would seem that he has good skill to in the fact the kick that was aimed at him was handled very well. For a fighter that doesn't know what he got himself into it is something that impresses the larger fighter. "Sagat." comes his reply as his stance finally does shift and he takes one of the traditional Muay Thai style with one leg slightly lifted and arms raised. "You'll have to forgive me. I don't watch television or the like." he admits and gives a bit of a grin. A rather unsettling one at that.

With the fact Jones seems to hold back it ends up being Sagat that comes forward to attack. "Just don't hold back. I want to see everything you can do." he comments as he comes in close and makes a grab for the other fighter. If he manages to get a good grip the afro'd one will get hefted rather high in the air above the head of the mountain of a man that Sagat is before being tossed with ease across the dance floor. It is time to see just how well Jones can keep up with the more experienced fighter.

There's the stance! Just as Mr. Jones suspected it really is Muay Thai. This should be interesting to say the least, the last guy Jonesy fought that had a style that got anywhere close to kickboxing was Pepe and the Hispanic boy is radically different from this large one eyed Thai monstrosity. It's a pity though, that Sagat hasn't seen any of Jones' movies, he always feel that people are missing out when they tell him that. "What? Really? You didn't see Fists of Fury and Legend? I was with Fei Long on that one!" No time to talk though, this guy is serious! The relatively light weighted dance fighter gets picked up and thrown over Sagat's head, spinning in the air a couple of times before landing on his side as he attempts to break his fall.

"Shoot!" Jonesy spins on his shoulders with legs mimicking helicopter blades as he gets back up with a spinaroonie to face Sagat. "Aite then m'man, let's dance!" Cue catchy disco tunes. Jones dashes back at Sagat still having absolutely no idea in how much trouble he is right now, leading with the front foot as it makes it look like he's going to go for a kick to the stomach, only to switch it up at the last second and go for a quick left backhand at the side of Sagat's face! "SHOO!"

There is a shake of the head of Sagat. "I know Fei Long through other means." he mentions. Mostly through a scuffle or two the have had in the past at some point. "If I knew about you I wouldn't be here to see how good you are." His height also pays off in this case because Mr. Jones is left having to reach quite a bit to get to the face of the taller fighter. It gives Sagat plenty of time to move and bring an arm up and intercept the strike. "I'll try to be a gentle dance partner."

That seemed all too ominous to be a good thing. It might be because Jones is soon dealing with a return punch. One aimed at the smaller fighters sternum to try and break through his defenses before Sagat follows it up with a punishing knee strike that has plenty of umph to cause trouble if Jones isn't quick enough to cover the opening he left. ".....well maybe not."

"Oh, you know 'im too? I'm sorry." Having worked with the dude in the past, Jones knows that Long has quite a hateful personality and doesn't seem to regard the other actor fighter in high regard. It helps though that Jonesy is the kind of person that can keep a conversation whilst in the mid of brutal fighting and he doesn't skip a beat. Going with the flow of his inner music, Jones feels his forearm collide against a blocking arm causing him to retract quickly, knowing there's going to be a counter attack coming.

"Woo!" The punch to his gut is slapped away, as Jonesy brings his open palm right into Sagat's elbow to redirect the attack elsewhere. This leaves him in a good position to deal with the rising knee which he stops with two palms crossed together to cushion the blow. Since Sagat's is currently standing in one leg though, he'll be using this opportunity to swing a kick of his own right towards the Sagat's left knee to cripple his capability to swing kicks. Muay Thai boxers are good at kicking, so if you injure their legs they should be left defenseless right? No, he's not getting cocky, why would he? "HAAI!!"

Sagat is starting to think he should concentrate more on the fight and less on the talking. Is Jones really this good or Sagat just too overconfident in the end? Given the slightly annoyed look growing on the Muay Thai warrior's face he is getting a tad bit irked out not being able to solidly land a blow against the other fighter. He silences himself and his single eye narrows on the other fighter as Jones once again comes forward. Sagat lifts a leg and uses his shin to take the brunt of the kick that was aimed to hit him in the knee.

As he brings that knee back he looks to just grab Mr. Jones by the afro in this case. It is to make sure he doesn't get away and just yank his head downwards as his knee looks to drive into the face of the funky fighter. Not once, but four times he would look to drive that knee into the other fighter before finally letting go and pushing Jones away. Yeah, it looks like Jones has done well to get under Sagat's skin.

Too bad, Mr. Jones can't get any information out of Sagat if he doesn't talk. Like what's the deal with him wanting to fight, or how come everyone so scared of him? Mista' Jones would be flattered if he could somehow get enough info out of Sagat to make him spill the beans and say that he's searching out the grooviest funkiest fighter in the NDP league. Much good it does him though since he's suddenly grabbed by his precious curly locks and pulled down hard!

"Hey!! Watch the 'fro!!!" Jones is considering at least trimming that thing a little, it's starting to become a liability in fights and he finds out the hard way that having a lot of hair to be pulled down by makes it hard to avoid knee strikes to the face. "AGH! OW! UGH! NGRR!!" He manages to put his arms up in the way of the knees but it's nowhere near enough to deflect the blows, they go right through his defenses and collide solidly with his face, busting up his nose and breaking his shades before being tossed away. Now that hurt, he can see why everyone ran off when Sagat entered the building, this must be some kind of legendary fighter of some sort.

But is Jonesy scared? Hell no! "Man! Those where five hundred dollars glasses!" He's actually pretty pissed off! And he slides right back into the fight to deliver a rising side thrust kick directly towards Sagat's neck with the clear intention of injuring his wind pipe!!

Things may have been less painful in the long run for Mr. Jones had things went a bit differently. Even if he tries to curb his rage better these days Sagat can still get easily annoyed over things. In alot of cases this could be a blessing for some fighters. It often leaves Sagat more prone to leave himself open and open to mistakes. Some people are good at exploit that sort of thing. Then there are times where it can end very bad given that once the Muay Thai fighter goes on a rampage and gets ahold of his opponent things can go very very bad.

Case in point here he doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact he is causing damage to personal property such as glasses. "Don't wear then in a fight." is all he says while coming forward at the same time that kick is is swung his way. Sagat growls and he ducks shifts his weight to where he takes the kick to a shoulder instead before he leans forward and crouches down. He then uses his powerful legs to launch himself upwards as he delivers a powerful uppercut right to the jaw of Jones' jaw to send the other fighter skyward. It is a move the large fighter is all too well known for. Perhaps most well known for. Simple yet brutal and effective. After delivering the blow he lands gracefully on both feet and shifts back to his fighting stance.

*KRUNCH!*

True, Mr. Jones is well known for getting on his opponents' nerves by smack talking them which prompts them to open up and do mistakes in a fight. Sometimes the dance fighter capitalizes on it which has earned him many wins, but in Sagat's case it's the wrong thing to do since he just can't get out of attacks propelled with rage.

"GAAAAAH!!!" Jones feels knuckles collided solidly against his jaw after failing to deliver his kick where he wanted and flies backwards, spinning several times in the air to fall, rather gracelessly, on his fact. That was..incredibly painful, Jones had gotten hit with uppercuts before, but never one that rattled his brain inside his skull like that. Blood starts pouring down his mouth and he spits out a chipped tooth onto his lovely dance floor causing him to grimace. No wonder why Duck ran, he's way in over his head and he now just realized it. "Hahah...hahaa.." Jones laughs weakly and struggles to get back up "Is that...." He brushes the blood off his mouth with the sleeve of his yellow jump suit. "Is that all you got?..."

Truth be told the man should have probably stayed down. Sagat has seen enough to consider this man a good prospect as far as the fighting world goes. To the point he starts to ease out of his fighting stance as he lets Jones get to his feet. Then he has to go and make a comment like that. Sagat still comes out of his fighting stance, but instead of walking away like he intended he just remains where he is. His face turning to a grimace as his eye narrows. "You are pretty good, but not very bright."

He doesn't look to be ready to attack, but the air about him seems to feel different as he gathers the energy about him. There is a slight glow that covers him briefly as he takes a deep breath. Whatever he is doing cannot be good and in fact a few people see what is going on decide to move further away or outright get out of the place in case things decide to go south even further. It looks like the other fighter might want to chose his words carefully.

COMBATSYS: Sagat gathers his will.

Stay down and play dead!? NEVER!! Mr. Jones is a goofy sort of happy go lucky dancer, but ultimately he is a /warrior/ and doesn't give up just because he nearly got his jaw dislocated. He just gets right back up and thugs it out. Sagat's comment just makes him grin insanely, there's several reasons why this guy has got so far on both the SNF and NDP leagues and that's because he mixes up sheer fighting skill and power with insanity. He's not staying down no matter what.

"Tell me one I haven't heard before!" Because apparently, he's very used to people telling him he's an idiot. Jonesy charges then recognizing what Sagat is about to do, he wants to shoot him with one of them whacked out chi attacks doesn't he!? Well, he ain't gonna let him! Dashing with blurring speed towards his opponent, Mr. Jones brings his fist to his hip intending to strike Sagat with the same move he did in the beginning. Pushing himself from the back leg as he puts all his weight into a single punch which sails directly for the boxer's nose! "WOOOOAATAAA!!"

It would be a good assumption one could make. While the large fighter hasn't shown he mixes chi with his attacks most people that know of him know he can when he wants to. It just seems that Jones has been lucky and not experienced having to deal with waves of energy being sent his way while hearing 'TIIIIGAAAAAH' over and over as Sagat does so. Then again can it be considered good luck to where you get to feel the physical prowess of the Muay Thai master instead?

If he was considering about firing off energy it seems he decides against it when he finds Mr. Jones charging right for him. Instead he just lets out a bit of a chuckle and pushes off his feet to come right towards the other fighter in the air as well. While Jones nails Sagat right in the chest he just doesn't get as much momentum as the first time. Mostly because Sagat is slamming his knee right into the gut of Jones at the same time. He is still grinning once he lands and he motions for Mr. Jones to come at him again. "I can do this all day. Come on."

Good luck, definitely good luck. Mister Jones hates it when all people do is shoot wave after wave of projectiles, he doesn't consider that proper fighting. He wants the nitty gritty, the gory glory that it's hand to hand combat, and he gets it in the form a knee colliding on his gut when he goes for the flying fist. "HMRGG!!" Jones feels his insides burning now as the blow nails him in the stomach whilst his own knuckles just brush Sagat's face and he's once again on the ground.

"Woohaa!"

Not for long though, since he kicks his legs up and goes back to his feet almost immediately. That ever present crazed grin plastered on his face despite everything that has happened. "~Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive/o~" Mr. Jones, in his insanity, begins to sing to himself as he goes to attack again and again and again. Looks like he's actually having fun with this, though he would as he does love a good dance. "ATAAAAAAA!!" The retro dancer comes back with a flying kick, aimed directly at Sagat's face!

Now Sagat wonders if he just rattled the poor man's brain a bit too much with that uppercut. Jones still continues to get up even though he looks worse for wear. Even if Sagat was boasting he wonders just how long he could go if Jones keeps getting back up like that. It makes him ponder on what to do about this. He was trying his best to behave and not get too rough. He didn't really want to injure one of the participants in the league too much to keep him from fighting. He also was doing his best to keep from damaging Duck's club. He has done that much at least!

He takes a deep breath and then he steps forward and lets that kick impact right directly against his face. Something that doesn't stop his forward momentum. The funky fighter soon might find himself overwhelmed with a series of incoming knees and kicks being delivered by Sagat to keep him from off balance. Maybe he is finally looking to keep the man down and out as he once again goes in low and finishes his assault with another powerful uppercut like the one he delivered not long ago.

Well at least the kick collided! Though that's pretty much the extent of Jonesy's skill on that regard. Leaving himself open in the air like that meant that he had no way of evading Sagat's attacks, with /normal/ fighters, such a flying kick usually ends up with the opponent on the floor giving enough time for Jones to compose himself. People that can just tough out flying kicks to the face like that? Yeah, Jones never had a chance here didn't he?

He can't even manage to bring his curl his limbs back to defend himself, Jonesy just pretty much gets treated like a rag doll and is utterly trashed in mid air before it ends with him getting rocked in the jaw with another uppercut! "UGAAH!!" With another twirl in the air and a flop, he lands again on the ground face first. This time he's not get back up again isn't he? He just lays there and twitches with a pool of blood forming where his mouth is. Shoulda known better than to go in there swinging like that Jonesy, but he's never been one to take it easy. Nope, he never takes it easy, not even now..when he's down on the ground on his last breaths. Is this what dying feels like? Why is the music...getting softer?

But no!! Actually the music is just getting louder!! And Mr. Jones gets back to his feet walking directly towards Sagat!! Duck and the other employees get their act together at this time and see a bloodied and beaten Jones just strolling his way towards Sagat. Jones!! Stay Down! For the love of everything!!! Yet, he does not listen, his mind full with the funk as he looks directly at Sagat.

"Disco never died mang..."

With Jones taken care of the large fighter decides his job has been done. "Not a bad fighter." he says. Now if Jones can hear the compliment is another thing. The guy did just take a rather large pummeling. It allows Sagat to let his guard down and he starts to turn about and go grab his shirt and head out of here. That is when he hears Jones speak up and he just pauses. A brow raises and Sagat at first was wondering if he was just hearing things. He turns about to see the other man still standing somehow and he just stares at him for a few long moments.

That is when Sagat steps forward and looks down at Jones for a few moments. "Stay...." he aims to just deliver a rather quick punch right to the man's face. "Down." If anything at least it hurts alot less than anything else the big man has used against him. At this point can the funky fighter even feel anything?

There's a *WHACK!* sound as knuckles hit him square in the forehead, but Mr. Jones is way past the point where he can feel anything. His eyes are focused, his afro is messed up and he's not going to take it anymore.

After the punch collides, the afro'd man reels back only to swing forward with the momentum and throws a straight fist directly towards Sagat's chest, aiming for that scar!!!

It does sort of paint a big target, that scar. Everyone seems to like striking it for some reason. Does it make them think they are Ryu or the sort? Who knows. Honestly Sagat has taken so many hits there it really doesn't seem to hurt anymore. Even so the force of the blow is enough to drive Sagat back as he simply was looking to step back and away from the falling fighter. He rubs a bit at where was hit and looks down towards his opponent. "Still have alot of work, but you do hit rather hard." he admits.

He is unsure if Jones is truely down still, but after a few moments he turns around and tries to leave again. If somehow the afro'd one gets up again Sagat is ready to just mow him down with a series of chi blasts at this point and hope he stays there. Well if anything if there are more interesting fighters like this one maybe the mentoring thing would be worth doing. For now he moves on and decides where to go from here.

COMBATSYS: Sagat has ended the fight here.


No need to worry this time. Mr. Jones actually bounces back after his fist collides with the chest, takes a few staggering steps to the sides and falls flat on his back. One can almost hear the birds chirping.

Jonesy can't hear anything right now other than those dang birds, so Sagat's compliment goes unheard. Nor can he hear Duck and the other employees who rush in to see if he's alright once Sagat moves out of the way. Has the disco fighter finally gone over the edge and killed himself in a fight?

"jErEMIaH WaS A buLlRfOg/o~" Jones signs nonsensically as his head is lifted up by duck. Well at least looks like he'll live through this day. But what a dance that was!

"aNd A gOuD fRieNd Of mInE/o~" Probably won't be doing any fighting in a while though? Oh but wait, he still has to get back to SNF and NDP. Not groovy.
