Description: Traveling America in search of Ken Masters, May Lee is offered the opportunity to open a local store in order to get a little travel money. Fists and feet fly as she is challenged by the mysterious Munin, who seeks to challenge the integrity of the store's price cuts!
Champion of Justice May Lee is on a Quest. A Quest to find Ken Masters! Her quest has taken her to the United States, and it is here that we find her today. The bustling streets of Seattle are a whole new thing to her, and she's a little taken aback by the size of it. The whole place is amazingly alive, and for the first time, she's actually using her fighting talents to try and fund her travels.
So it is that May Lee is standing in front of the new Super Mart. Her hands are on her hips, and she addresses the crowd as cheerfully as she possibly can. "So... that's why May Lee comes to Super Mart, for all her shopping needs!" She smiles brightly, beaming from ear to ear.
At which point the manager pats her on the shoulder. "Now Miss Lee will take on any challengers, isn't that right?" ... S-such a loud, booming voice.
"E-eh? I, did we talk about that...>?"
Munin smirks as she watches chuckles go through the crowd, in response to May Lees reaction to the announcers challenge. None step forwards to take up the gauntlet, though.
She pushes off the wall she has been leaning her back against and walks over. Her narrow eyes look over the announcer, then May Lee, and she tilts her head slightly to the left and gives a shrug "Sure. I will".
Saying this, she draws a pair of shortswords sheathed at her waist, and waits for a response.
May Lee isn't exactly sure what to make of Munin. The woman is clearly much older than she is, and frankly, she looks pretty scary! In her black clothes and wielding a pair of shortswords. The younger girl blinks a couple of times, and then does her best to look confident, pulling herself up to her full height.
"Okay, challenger! I'll take you on! For the honor of the CHEAPO MART?!"
She is bouncing from foot to foot even as the manager slaps his face. Cheapo Mart? Really?
The crowd seem to eat it up anyway, whooping and chearing at the prospect of imminent (presumably good natured) violence about to unfold!
Munin raises an eyebrow, and gives May Lee a sideways look and a friendly smirk as she points one blade at her chest. May as well play to the crowd a little bit. "Bring it. Let's see if Cheapo Mart has as much quality in it's fighters as it's produce". She then drops into a combat stance and waits for the cue to start.
The manager shouts, "Start!"
And May Lee comes forwards at her new challenger. She doesn't much like the look of those swords, so her first concern is making sure that, as much as possible, she stays one step ahead of those!
Her hands reach out to grab Munin by the shoulders. If she can manage to do that, the swordswoman might be surprised to find that May Lee is vaulting /over/ her, and as she comes down on the other side, she kicks out backwards with both feet, intending to use the black-clad fighter as a springboard to vault down the steps of the store and send the crowd scattering backwards. If all goes according to plan, that'll buy some good distance!
"Lets just try and keep it clean, okay?!"

MayLee 0/-------/-------|=------\-------\0 Munin
Violet eyes watch May Lee as she goes up, up and over. Munin turns with her as she goes, easily able to track the womans path.
What Munin DOESN'T expect is an attack to come with the landing so fast, and pulls up her weapons in a cross block, dulling the impact. It works, but just barely.
From her defensive posture, she goes instantly to an attack of her own, swinging both blades out, one left, one right, aiming the impact at the same location on Mays chest.
COMBATSYS: MayLee blocks Munin's Cross Slash.

MayLee 0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0 Munin
May Lee spins around as Munin attacks her in turn. She's experienced enough to know that when her attack is meant with a dull thud rather than a cry of pain, she's probably going to be attacked...
And she is!
May Lee brings both her arms around, and takes the cut across her forearms instead. What is it with edged weapons lately? It brings a little grunt from her lips, but the worst of it is turned aside by the momentum of the blow.
Her whole demeanor changes, then, and her scarf flutters out behind her. The girl's eyes light up, and she really puts her back into a lunging forwards blow, her fist coming in to try and smack painfully into Munin's nose, which might be a bit of a surprise given that May Lee is, theoretically, a taekwondo fighter... who has opened with a throw and a punch.
COMBATSYS: Munin endures MayLee's Quick Punch.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////// ]
MayLee 0/-------/------=|=====--\-------\0 Munin
Munin sees the attack coming, but is easily able to see that at it's speed, she wouldn't be able to do a lot to avoid it. She ducks her head slightly, so the attack his the bone of her forehead instead of her nose, and braces her feet as the blow impacts. It hurts. A lot!
Pushing on and using this momentum, she swings the flat of the blade, hard, at May Lees head.
COMBATSYS: MayLee dodges Munin's Fierce Strike.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////// ]
MayLee 0/-------/------=|=====--\-------\0 Munin
May Lee tumbles around to the side of Munin, sliding herself up as she does. The girl is quick! The swordswoman is also quick, she has to keep the momentum up if she's going to stay ahead of that, though!
May Lee also thoughtfully broadcasts everything that she does in a fight. With a loud;
"CHOOOOOOOOOOOPU!"
The girl is descending from behind Munin. One hand comes down hard in a wide arc to try and make sharp contact between Munin's shoulder and neck, all of her weight (slight as it is) and force (definitely more than you'd think is possible) put into the swift chop.
COMBATSYS: Munin fails to counter May Lee- Chop! from MayLee with Shadow Counter.

MayLee 0/-------/---====|=======\=------\1 Munin
Munin turns and looks over her shoulder, and up, as May broadcasts her attack. Her hands, and weapons glow a dark purple for a moment as she starts to spin, in an attempt to bat her hand away.
Alas, she is too slow, and only gets about half-way around before the strike impacts. Her knees bend with the hit, but she stays up, eyes flashing a moment with violet light as she regains her bearings.
The girl looks pretty taken aback when the woman's weapons turn that dark purple color. She actually falters; she's no expert on chi, but she's never come across anything good when it goes all purple.
Thankfully, it doesn't come to anything.
She still doesn't look very sure of herself. What she has to do, though, is... get to the bottom of this mystery!
Pointing dramatically at the older fighter. "What's going on?" She demands, "What was that strange energy? Who *are* you?!"
COMBATSYS: MayLee enters a trance-like state.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////// ]
MayLee 0/-------/--=====|=======\=------\1 Munin
Munins eyes narrow, and she gives a small smirk. Her eyes flick to the crowd, then back to May. "Defeat me, and maybe i'll tell you".
With that, she gives a quick jab with the tip of one of her swords.
COMBATSYS: MayLee endures Munin's Weapon Jab.

MayLee 0/-------/-======|=======\=------\1 Munin
May Lee doesn't move out of the way of the cutting slash. Instead, she nods her head sharply, and steps inside as Munin's sword cuts a brief slash across her stomach. Her hands reach out to try and grab Munin by the shoulders...
And if she can manage that, the girl will declare, "Deal!"
Before kicking upwards in a sudden and decidedly more taekwondo-ish maneouver.
If all goes according to plan, she'll plant her foot in Munin's stomach, and lift her up above her head on her sneaker, before planting her with bone-shattering force back down onto the pavement!
COMBATSYS: Munin blocks MayLee's May Lee- Break!.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
MayLee 0/-------/-======|=======\====---\1 Munin
Munin is definately grabbed, and looks a little suprised by this. However, she quickly regains her bearings, and brings up the shafts of her weapons to block the kick. The impact sends her back a step, and definately hurts.
Shaking her arms to get some of the numbness out of them, her left weapon glows momentarily, before being brought up in a slash, despite being out of range. A trail of shadowy ki follows behind the blade, the arc of which flies right at May as the swing is completed.
COMBATSYS: Munin successfully hits MayLee with Shadow Wave.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////// ]
MayLee 1/-------/=======|=======\=====--\1 Munin
The burst of shadowy energy catches May Lee right across the stomach as she dives to the side, and she's sent hurtling backwards as the burning blast splashes across her chest. She rolls with it as much as she can, but she's still visibly shaken by the attack.
Still, she smiles brightly as she comes up. "That really hurt!" She laughs, "Now I really want to know who you are! KIIICK!"
That last word, helpfully, broadcasts her kick as she leaps into the air, and comes diving down foot-first for her opponent.
COMBATSYS: MayLee successfully hits Munin with Light Kick.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////// ]
MayLee 1/------=/=======|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2 Munin
Once more Munin is taken off-guard by May Lees speed. She moves to dodge, but doesn't make it, taking the hit full force in the side of the head.
She edges herself away, shaking her head as she tries to clear the stars and other colorful shapes filling her vision. They clear enough for her to get a lock on her opponent, and she takes a few deep breaths, watching May Lee with narrowed eyes.
COMBATSYS: Munin gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////// ]
MayLee 1/------=/=======|=======\======-\1 Munin
May Lee isn't going to let it finish there, though. She can see that Munin is preparing for something - just look at those violet eyes, staring at her with those narrowed slits. She is pretty uncomfortable with it.
Breaking into a sprint, May Lee bursts across the distance and her foot comes lashing around, as May Lee decides to try something different.
"FINISHING!"
And if she manages to bring her heel down on top of Munin's head and drag her down, she'll follow up with a sweeping upwards kick and a louder, "MOOOVE!"
COMBATSYS: Munin fails to counter Gauze Tail Tinkerbell from MayLee with Double Vision.

MayLee 0/-------/-------|
Munin seems almost to shimmer for a moment as the first kick comes towards her. Whatever it was she was trying to do, however, doesn't seem to work, and she is hit full force by both hits, the second catching her under the chin. Her swords drop to the ground with a clatter as she flys up, and lands on her back, dazed.
