SNF 2012.01 - SNF: "Crash Course"

Description: A new face is on the ticket this week! Munin is fresh in the professional fighting circuit, so she's been put together with a veteran in the Saturday Night Fight program. Faolan's military training should do wonders for his temporary role as teacher; it's his job to teach her the ins and outs of the world that she's stepped into. Ah, but with the Hurricane of the Gulf running about like lightning, will the Ikari's instruction do the girl any good? (Winner: El Fuerte)



As a speedy and nimble guy, not to mention relatively short in comparison to other fighters, El Fuerte never really thought himself as a powerhouse, at least not in the strength department. It was somewhat ironic actually, given that his name means The Strong One in Spanish, that the wrestler relies in his speed and skill and not his raw power to win his battles.

Given all the training and fights he has undergone, perhaps it is time for that next step to be taken, to truly prepare himself to soar with the stars of the fighting world. To no longer try and desperately try to topple giants by chipping away at them, but to be that giant himself. Time to become the champion of wrestling that he has worked so hard to become! The chef bit he's still working on..but the wrestling!! He has really come a long way!


"IT'S SUUUUUPER DYNAMIIIIC COOOOKING TIME!!!"

You wouldn't guess this is the first time El Fuerte is on a one versus two battle. Energetic as always, the Fuerte Luchador bounds into the wrestling ring with multiple acrobatic twirls before landing on his feet. Trusty frying pan held on his hand as he raises it up in the air dramatically.

Hey, if Munin has swords and Faolan has a club there isn't a reason why he shouldn't be allowed to use a weapon! Or at least that's what Mick would have said.

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte has started a fight here on the left meter side.

It has been awhile since the Ikari Warrior known as Faolan had been seen on SNF. He is usually a staple, but work along with avoiding public places lately has meant he has been flying under the radar. Hey, at least no one has tried to steal his bata in a few weeks so things seem to be going alot better in that respect. Perhaps Reese and Marius found some other person to harass constantly. That would be nice.

So here he is ready for action and to step out in the spotlight for the first time in awhile and what does he get? A newbie he is supposed to teach? The Irishman isn't much of a teacher and while he considers himself good at fighting he certainly isn't someone that can be a mentor. Hey, on the bright side he isn't like Ralf so Munin hasn't been dropped in the middle of a jungle with an ex convict and no food. Poor Xiangfei. He has heard horror stories about that one.

"Oi, you again." barks the Ikari as he smirks and waves a hand towards El Fuerte. It has been some time since he got beaten pretty soundly by the luchador. This time he has some backup, but at the same time he rather just see if he could do it on his own. Ahh well. Another time for that it would seem.

COMBATSYS: Faolan has joined the fight here on the right meter side.

ElFuerte         0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0           Faolan


Violet eyes scan the arena, taking in it's details, and some of the faces of those spectating. Munin has been in few fights with viewers until only recently, and her slight discomfort is clear. She seems to ignore it, however, as she steps into the ring alongside Faolan.

She eyes the competition, sizing up what she can. Not that there seems much to size up. Then again, that could be what makes him more dangerous than expected. Her hands reach to her shortswords, and with a flourish, she draws one, then the other, the blades seeming to faintly glow with a tinge of purple.

She smirks at Faolan, then to El Fuerte "Ready when you boys are".

COMBATSYS: Munin has joined the fight here on the right meter side.

"Si! Soy yo!" <Yes, it's me!> El Fuerte responds to Faolan in Spanish as the crazed foreigner type tends to do and fluctuate back and forth between languages, never making up their mind which one to use. A personality that reflects the Wrestler perfectly seeing as he is always moving around, not wishing to stay in a single place. Be it the ring, the kitchen or just switching back and forth between styles. One day he's using legit acrobatic techniques, then the next he's using submission holds and the next, like in this occasion, he plans to just beat people with a skillet.

Faolan may not have liked their previous encounter, but El Fuerte thought it was pretty fun actually...not because it was a total one sided match, but because unlike what the Irishman may believe, the wrestler actually had quite some problems with him. Now that he has back up in the form of this purple eyed girl, it will be even more interesting!

"Well then!" The insane luchador gets a manic grin as the two seem ready to begin. "Seņor Faolan, Seņortia Munin....LET US LUCHA!!"

*DING DING!*

A bell ring announces the beginning of the match and El Fuerte takes off like a bat outta hell. Burnt marks are left on the ground as he rushes directly towards Faolan, frying pan raised up high to clubber the guy on the top of his head!

"Arriba! Arriba! Arriba!!"

The largest of the fighters looks back over his shoulder towards his partner for the fight and he gives a bit of a nod. "Not much of a mentor type, but lemme see what I can do in those regards." It would seem his first lesson is how to take a frying pan to the top of the head. The lesson to be learned? Don't let it happen. Faolan' feels the hard metal slap against the top of his hat clad head and he grits teeth as he staggers back a few steps.

Well if he was looking for a good and embarassing way to start off his lesson plan it looks like he passed with flying colors in this case. "Gnnk, dammit." he murmurs and while El Fuerte is close by he looks to jab his bata right into the stomach of the luchador as the blackish energy he wields snakes its way along the fighting stick to be released from the end that is being aimed to slap against El Fuerte and give a nice electric shock. At least he seems to be all right for the most part aside from some pride perhaps being damaged. Having a hard head is a good thing.

Munin starts to move the moment she sees the charge, moving to flank their diminitive opponent. She can't help but wince as she sees, and hears, the impact.

Once behind him, she wastes no time or words, swinging both blades at a single point simultaniously

*KLANG!*

At the very least no one can take a frying pan to the face like Faolan! That takes true skill right there son. Although it feels to El Fuerte that it's something you can't teach..unless there's a way to thicken one's skull..maybe with food? Hmm...

Oh yeah fighting.

El Fuerte almost dozed off there thinking of what must be the Irishman's diet that allows him to take a blow like that to the face and not crumble over. He is quickly back to attention when a stick is thrust his way in the direction of his stomach. Oh, he remembers that one, he remembers that for all his brawn over brains attitude, Faolan is actually a pretty tricky fighter and likes to coat his attacks with electricity. Rather than try and get out of the way and risk getting fried, the luchador bats that stick out of the way with his own improvised weapon.

"Ay yay yay!!" Pointy sticks are swung in his direction then and El Fuerte jumps! Right over Faolan almost as if he is hiding behind the man so that Munin can't get to him. Faolan is big, thick and makes an awesome meat shield. So why not use him!?

Although actually, thinking better of it, Faolan is Munin's meatshield for the night and thus the wrestler seeks to return him to her by shoving him directly to the girl with a kick to the rear.

Is that perhaps the big secret about what make the Ikari so tough? A diet that just makes them nearly indestructable? The world may never know since one rarely can step foot on the Ikari base unless they are a member of the group. Of course there are some exceptions, but El Fuerte is not one of those. The Irishman is also starting to remember just how damn fast that the luchador really is. Even with him providing a distraction it doesn't seem to be enough for Munin to land a blow on the masked fighter and instead before he knows it he almost crashes right into Munin from the kick.

He stumbles and shifts his weight to where he just goes toppling over and right past Munin where he has to try to catch himself and get back to his feet. Well this is not how he was wanting to start things. He needs to calm himself and take more care. Even so he can't let himself be too cautious or El Fuerte will eat him alive....figuratively of course. That is why Faolan lumbers forward and raises his bata once more and looks to repay the luchador from the earlier blow by slamming the bata right on the top of El Fuerte's head. *Donk*

Why are the short ones always the biggest pain? Munin mutters to herself as El Fuerte leaps and dodges her strike. She has to admit that for his height, that IS an impressive leap, though.

She spins to the side as she sees her partner flying towards her, so as to be out of the way in case he doesn't correct, which he inevitably does. It also positions her far enough so her attack will go past him to the target of their combined ire!

Her weapons glow darkens a moment, and with a single diagonal stroke leaves a crescent of dark purple chi, which flies at El Fuerte at high speed!

*Donk!* Indeed!

It seems that El Fuerte was trying to see if he too could take a blow to the head like Faolan had done previously as he starts back pedaling away from the Irishman, only to whacked on the head by his big stick! "Ow!!" Next course of action will be to over to the Ikari base and steal all their recipes! He could certainly use a thick headed skull like Faolan's.

Finding out if he can withstand energy strikes is a test that will have to be left for later. El Fuerte isn't dazed enough to not see the energy ball coming his way and deftly spins around to avoid it letting it hit the ring's ropes instead.

Feeling nimble, with the adrenaline of a fight versus two people washing over him. Rather than continue his attack El Fuerte instead goes to show boat apparently. Jumping over to a turnbuckle and raise his skillet up to rile the crowd!

"Wooo!!"

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte gathers his will.

It looks like finally the luchador misses a step and leave it to Faolan to make him pay. He may not be quick, but the Irishman is a heavy hitter. He has learned from both Ralf and Clark well that is for sure. Of course it is going to take more than one well timed hit to take El Fuerte down. He still has his wits to where Munin once again finds herself not being able to catch El Fuerte with her own attack. "Keep it up. He is going to slip up again soon enough!"

Or so he hopes. He just realized what El Fuerte is doing. He has fought with wrestlers enough and watched it enough to know what might happen soon if he lets the luchador keep working the crowd. That insane adrenaline rush that just seems to happen when the crowd is behind them that makes them stronger than ever. Sure alot of the time it is just for show, but somehow Faolan doesn't think El Fuerte realizes that fully. That is why the Ikari is rushing in quick to put a stop to this nonsense. It is a quick forward rush with a shoulder lowered to knock Fuerte off balance before he follows up with a headbutt to the smaller man's chin.

The lass follows Faolans lead, and goes in from the opposite side. This little guys luck is really starting to bother her, though it's hidden well by her poker face.

Deciding to keep it short and sweet. No fancy moves, no special technique. Just a basic, fast stab at him with the tip of her sword. THAT'LL teach him to ignore her!

Standing on a turnbuckle is not the best thing to do in order to defend yourself from attacks. But El Fuerte is a wrestler, he makes it work somehow.

The fact that the cheering crowd is on his side works in a lot of ways for the luchador. Yes, the support of all his amigos certainly lift his spirits and give him the energy he needs to bursts through and defeat his opponents. Yet, it also works in more mundane ways, like for example, someone from the crowd pointing to El Fuerte that both warriors are coming from behind!

"Que!?"

Woopsie daisy, El Fuerte finds himself cornered and can't do anything else but put his frying pan on the way of the attacks and block as best he can. Although effective, it's not what the wrestler is designed to do, he needs to get out of the corner!

This is accomplished by jumping to the side, directly on the ropes and do a backflip that'll cause him to land feet first directly on Munin's face! Her wish to no longer be ignored granted.

It's like a Holiday Miracle!
"TOSTADA!"

Well it was a good effort. If anything it stopped the bravado and had to make El Fuerte think fast. He surprisingly does well at that even when alot of the time one might think the excitable fighter might just be a bit insane. Often that is the nice way of putting it because in the end he is harmless for the most part. Then again Faolan might beg to differ and Munin might soon agree if she ends up crushed under the luchador. "Oi, fast feet, lady!" he calls out since he doesn't have the time to intercept.

He does rush to try and help out and maybe even sneak in a shot while El Fuerte is distracted by Munin. It is time to shee if the luchador can crush someone and skitter away before being nailed again. In this case the bata is being held by both hands as he swings it like a baseball back and aims for the back of El Fuerte. "Time for a homerun, fellah!"

COMBATSYS: Munin fails to counter Tostada Press from ElFuerte with Shadow Counter.

Landing on someone that has swords is a risky maneuver. But unfortunately for everyone else in this ring, sometimes El Fuerte included, he is /all/ about risky high flying maneuvers!

This time, it pays off and he slams both feet on Munin's face sending her backwards as he himself spins forward to land on his feet, just in time to duck underneath the baseball bat strike Faolan was aiming to do on his face. He has already found that he can't take blows to the head like that. He doesn't need to experience it a second time!


"I only play Football, compadre!" Of course, since El Fuerte knows that Faolan is European he uses football rather than soccer hoping that the Irishman will understand. But in terms of Lucha Libre, this is irrelevant, at least in comparison to his next movement.


As he raises back to his feet, the Mexican grappler moves towards the Irishman's direction to wrap both arms around his waist and lift him in a way he'll flipping the guy upside down. It'd be a incredible feat of strength for someone his size, but El Fuerte has lifted people far heavier than Faolan before...Hugo comes to mind. Yanking him upwards with frying pan still in hand, El Fuerte Luchador will spin around and toss Faolan back first hard towards the turnbuckle!

"Ole!"

There is a slight smirk even as he swings hard and gets nothing but air. He is actually lucky Munin was well enough out of the way he didn't hit her instead by accident. He tries to regain his footing. "That is usually my sport of choice, but you know. Sticks and football don't go hand and..." he trails off as he sees the grappler coming in at him once again. He steadies himself and he thinks he can overpower El Fuerte and keep his ground. He is sorely mistaken. Upwards he goes and before he knows it he is hitting hard against the turnbuckle and slumping a bit.

With a grunt he starts to pick himself back up. "As pesky as last time." he comments as he rolls his shoulders and tries to get the kinks out. He then furrows his brow as the energy begins to filter through his bata once more. He lunges forward, a thrusting motion aimed at El Fuerte despite with the distance between the two means Faolan has no chance at hitting. Then again it looks like that won't be a problem since a small orb of energy sails from the end of the bata intent on hitting the luchador.

Munin shakes her head to clear it of the bright flashy lights, and the spike of pain from the prior injury to her cheek. Her weapons lose their glow as she moves in, going for a slightly harder hit with the weapon in her right hand, swinging for the bicept.

Wrestlers need their arms, so it makes the most sense to attack there, yes?

In most cases, with battles that involve multiple fighters going against one, it's always the..shall we say..more experienced fighter standing strong like a mountain, blocking, deflecting and utterly interrupting all the attacks sent his way from the other warriors. Not where el Fuerte is concerned though. Here, it's not so much two fighters wailing on a mountain of muscles and instead its more like a game of whack a mole, both Faolan and Munin swinging their attacks at the speedy wrestler who just keeps running around in circles!

"Andale Andale!" El Fuerte dashes to the side when that projectile is sent his way, starting to run blurring laps around the ring with Munin chasing after him. Then as the girl takes a sweep at his legs to try and cut them from under him; the wrestler changes trajectory abruptly and jumps towards the girl behind him instead. Leaping over her attack to strike her a Wrestling style flying drop kick!

Just so damn fast. There is a light tch that comes from the Ikari and he finds he really needs to rethink his strategy. He is leaving too many openings when striking and he is just letting himself get overwhelmed. Here he thought the second time around he might have more luck against the luchador but it seems like El Fuerte is even more dangerous than the last time the two tangled. It looks like Munin will have to see if she can handle El Fuerte on her own at least momentarily.

The Ikari tries to clear his head as he straightens up and grips both ends of his bata while holding it out about half an arm's length away from his chest. Eyes narrow and he watches El Fuerte closely and waits for now. He is going to get this guy good even if it means he is going to get taken down in the process.

With a snarl, Munin changes tactics. Only a lunatic keeps trying the same thing expecting different results. Well, she may be a bit crazy, but that's different.

So she lets him drop kick her, bracing herself for it as it comes. It hurts like heck, but she hopes by doing that she may be able to get in through those annoying defenses of his.

She quickly recovers, and flips her swords into their sheathes. Not wasting a second while she's defenseless, she spreads her arms, palms open, and SCREAMS an angry scream as long, tendril-like spikes of dark purple chi fly from her eyes, mouth, and palms at El Fuerte. They snap back to her, hit or miss, afterwards.

Son of a gun is too damn fast! Even after doing a flying kick at Munin that puts him in mid air and in a compromising position, he still finds enough energy to roll on the ground and avoid getting hit with that Eldricth abomination shaped energy tossed at him by an infuriated swordswoman. The amount of terror that he felt when that monstrosity comes at him probably having something to do with his sudden burst of speed.

"Ay!! El Chupacabras!!"

Even if it doesn't seem possible, El Fuerte runs /even faster/. His body clearly leaving after images now as he makes a full lap around the ring, apparently still thinking that the dreaded Chupacabras is still on his tail. Running so fast in fact, that he doesn't realize he's about to slam into Faolan until he's directly on top of him!! Fuerte needs to work on his brakes.

"Uh oh!"

Munin says, "precisely. means it would even up the match! we're already gettin our butts whooped" XP"

Is there such thing as breaks for a guy like El Fuerte? The man is like some weird caffiene machine that never runs out of fuel. The only way to get the luchador to stop moving is to just knock him out. Even then Faolan has his doubts if El Fuerte doesn't run in his sleep or the like. Thinking about such things at a time like this isn't probably a good idea. Mostly because it means Faolan doesn't realize until the last moment that El Fuerte is COMING RIGHT AT HIM!

Well there is only one thing the merc can do and he just stands his ground and actually then steps forward to meet with the speedster head on. Looks like momentum is on the luchador's side in this case and Faolan is bowled over by the smaller fighter who at least manages to get slowed down since it was almost like running through a brick wall when he impacted Faolan. There is a grump from the Ikari as he gets to his feet and before El Fuerte might know it he is about to be stricken with a flurry of blows from Faolan. Multiple windmilling strikes from the bata aim to assault the masked fighter before a sweeping motion aims to take the legs out from under him and then one end of the bata will be driven into the chest of El Fuerte to help him get to the ground all the much faster.

With a quick flick of her wrists, the shortswords are redrawn, and she's off. Munin once again manuevers behind the terrified fighter, striking at his open back. Quick, simple, and hopefully effective.

From her expression, it's obvious she's highly amused her attacked scared him so much, even if it missed.

CRASH HELLO!

Who would have thought that Faolan had something against manly chest bumps? Why, the guy looks like he gets them all the time from his Ikari buddies, surely a chest bump from someone like El Fuerte couldn't have hurt him that much could he? Never mind that he was running like at a MILLION MILES per hour due to his fear of the Chupacabra.

"Ay! Hola!" El Luchador reels back as if he was just playing a game of red rover only to realize that Faolan is angry with him now for running into him like that. The glare is intimidating, but nowhere near as much as the thought of the Chupacabra chasing him. So, rather than try and back away from the attack he curls himself into a ball while standing on one leg and protects his face with the frying pan taking the stick beating like a champ!

Munin is eventually going to come at him from behind though which means he has to get out of the way again, and what better way to do that than to get behind Faolan again!?

With a grunt, he shakes the soreness of his aching muscles after receiving that flurry of blows and swings his prying pan right at Faolan. This is only to get him to back away as he grabs him again, jumps /with him/ towards the turnbuckle evading the sword slash in the process and jumps backwards with the other brawler. The speedy luchador spins in mid air placing Faolan on top of him then and comes crashing down with the Mexican on top as he goes to make an old world Irish tortilla!

Incidentally Munin should get out of the way too, unless she wants to form part of this DELICIOUS recipe.

Looks like the Irishman finally finds out patience pays off. It wasn't pretty the way the two clashed but it may have just been the opening he needed to get in a strike against the luchador. El Fuerte is punished and once again Munin finds herself fighting the air more than anything. She looks like she has potential, but she might be getting overwhelmed in fighting a person like El Fuerte on live television. "Keep yer wits. Just strike when he comes at ya.....oh hell!"

And right when he was talking about El Fuerte it seems the lucha is intent on coming right at him. Can Faolan listen to the advice he was trying to give? He has little time to create a proper defense and that is why he soon finds himself right in the path of destruction with little choice of what to do. All he can is lash out and cause some pain himself. It isn't really the nicest thing to do either. The fact is when El Fuerte is decending his crotch meets Faolan's foot before the force leans him forward and crashes him into the Irishman and sends both tumbling.

It looks like Faolan might be down for the count, but after a few moments the rather beat up Ikari slowly gets to his feet. "I'm fine..." he mumbles and barely can seem to keep his balance.

He's been hit! Hoping to find an opening, Munin dashes fowards once more, once more attacking with a stab with one of her swords, aggrevated that nothing seems to be working so far on her part.

She takes note of Faolans words, what she can hear of them, but for now is too focused on hopefully taking advantage of this opportunity!

This is one of those occasions when high flying maneuvers do not work for El Fuerte. As he spins in the air with a bulky Irishman on tow, he finds that gravity works against his favor when he lands on Faolan's foot, injuring something that he likes to call 'los cojones.'

"HNG!! Chingada!!" El Fuerte is injured! This is what elicits a storm of swear words from his part as he rolls away from Faolan struggling to get back to his feet. Something that Munin doesn't seem eager to let happen as she comes down on him with a sword stab.

Thankfully he still has his trusty frying pan in hand and moves it up to deflect the attack letting steel meet iron. Yet this time, as he gets up, he doesn't seem capable to get back up this time. Has the wind finally been kicked out of him enough that he's unable to run!?

"Hold on...ugh.." No actually, it looks like he's just fixing his pants. Ever since he fought Eiserne he's taken to wear a jock strap. Can't be too sure nowadays!

COMBATSYS: ElFuerte gains composure.

It is uncertain just how the hell Faolan is still standing, but it seems he is just too stubborn to stay down at this point. The teacher really can't go down before the student, right? It seems to be a valid enough excuse in the mind of the Irishman since he is still standing, barely, and trying to get his vision to be so damned much less blurry. "Hold all of them down, kid. One has to be the real one." he comments to Munin as eyes narrow and he squints.

Is it an opening he sees? It is hard to tell what he sees exactly at this time given how beat up he is. Officials would probably try to pull him away from the fight if not for the fact they are scared as hell about him possibly bowling them over. Instead they stay out of the way of the large fighter as he stumbles forward in a rather awkward run and he aims to thrust his bata forward to jab El Fuerte right in the chest once more.

Hold them all down? One has to be the real one? Must be tiring and seeing things. In any case, Munin stops and watches El Fuerte, catching her breath and considering her options.

So far, she's done little to contribute to this fight, and it's pissing her off. Her eyes begin to glow dark purple light, visible even in the arenas bright ceiling lights, complimenting her swollen cheek. *FIXED*

COMBATSYS: Munin focuses on her next action.

As it so happens, one of Los Fuertes that Faolan attacks happens to be the real one. However, even if El Luchador is out of breath and currently unable to run circles around the two fighters as he was doing before, he still has enough energy to bring his frying pan up and stop the jab with the stick "I'm not a piņata amigo!!" Although some would argue, depending on what he's wearing at the time.

El Fuerte doesn't really know that he's pretty much being used right now to show Munin the ropes, in his case being quite literal considering where they are fighting. He only knows that this is time to Lucha and even if he doesn't have enough energy to go for fancy wrestling techniques, he can still flail wildly!

"MRAA!!" The luchador cranks the frying pan back and goes to swing it sideways at Faolan's face. With Munin on the side getting ready to summon the freaking Chupacabras again she might eventually bring him down, but at least he's taking the Irishman with him!

It is amazing that Faolan in the state that he is in manages to even get the bata close to striking the correct El Fuerte he was aiming for. It might not be a solid hit, but he did manage to connect to an extent. It might also be enough to help him keep his focus. Eyes narrow somewhat and he tries to make all the various luchador's form into one again so he can concentrate easier. He is doing the best he can at that when he sees the frying pan coming his way. He steps forward and looks to drive his bata into El Fuerte.

There is the loud clang of pan hitting the face of the Irishman and sends him staggering off several steps and missing entirely with his own strike. "Mnng, damn stainless steel...." he mumbles as he tries to keep upright, but the large fighter's body just finally gives in and he starts to slump forward. He just goes down to his knees and then faceplants right into the ground where he stays there until medics can make it out to him and also drag him to safety.

As Faolan falls, his rather furious teammate moves in, not giving too much thought at this point. When thinking it through fails, try NOT thinking it through! She may get lucky, which is what she needs at this point....

She tries to wrap her arms around one of his and throw him quick and painfully to the floor!

*KLANG!*

The satisfying sound of steel colliding with face meat announces that Faolan is knocked out, leaving Fuerte the undisputed victor of-Oh crap!!

No time for the wrestler to catch a breather. As he was stepping back to breath in and attempt to regain his quickly draining energy, his eyes widen when he hears steps behind quickly followed by arms wrapping around his muscled own. "Carajo!!" El Fuerte is tossed backwards by Munin who attempts to avenge her master. However at the very least the wrestler manages to roll with it and quickly get back to his feet to rush once more at the sword girl.

Though his breath comes in gasps now, he sucks in air in mid charge to fuel his attack and extends a hand directly towards Munin's face. This isn't to strike her so much as push her backwards as he kicks her feet from under her forcing her to slam back of the head first towards the wrestling mat!

Munins face is grabbed allright, although she doesn't seem to budge with his hand. Instead, she leans in with it, blocking low with a crossblock, which the kick strikes instead. Hurts, but a lot less.

Her narrow, glowing violet eyes glare at him between his fingers, and suddenly flash with a bright burst of dark purple ki!

ARGH! Blinded! Never a good feel! El Fuerte reels back holding his face as the purple flash hurts his eyes causing him to vigorously rub at his masked face. "Mis ojos!" <My eyes!>.

As he staggers backwards however, hand stretched out to try and figure out where he is, once he manages to get the blur out of his eyes he is treated to a beautiful sight.

Munin is on the ground! Back first! And you know what that means!!!

Pinning opportunity!!

"RAAH!!" Without thinking about it twice, El Fuerte simply jumps forward and slams his chest against Munin's trying to go for the submission hold!

Munins expression and body tense in preperation as she sees him come at her. Sadly, her reaction time is less than his speed, and she misses her chance to take the shot. He impacts her, hard. The breath is knocked out of her, and her head rocks back and hits the floor. The glow fades from her eyes as she momentarily loses consciousness, swords thumping on the mat as her hands go limp.

"One!

"Two!


"Three!!"

*DING DING DING!* Seeing as Munin blacked out when El Fuerte slammed into her, there was no way she could get out of that hold causing the crowd cheer the count down needed for the pin to be effective. It's a show boating maneuver that makes the crowd explode in cheers as El Fuerte gets back to his feet running around in circles with his his usual blurring speed.

"LUCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

This would be the second time he beats a big guy and little girl combo. At this rate he might end up turning into a heel. A clear sign that the end of the world draws near.
