Description: May Lee has been a busy bee as of late. Busy enough that Kim has noticed the lack of her presence at the dojo. What better way to make sure the girl isn't slacking off than posing as Dark Kim and threating to steal all her Kamen Rider collectibles? Fierce battle ensues.
May Lee is exhausted.
For the past few weeks she's been working as hard as she can to put together a team of people strong enough and brave enough to stand up against corruption and the evil influence of Shadaloo.
Just last night she'd been involved in a truly bone-rattling matchup against Terry, and now, she's enjoying her well earned rest. The girl has settled into a coffee shop in Southtown Village, and she's bought herself a volume of Kamen Rider Spirits to read as she relaxes.
Of course, she's not drinking serious coffee. She's drinking a highly sugared, chocolately excuse for a coffee covered with whipped cream and foam. Mostly she's settled into an extremely plush chair in the window, and she's lazily pawing through the comic she's read a million times before. Ah, lazy sundays. Sometimes you just need the time to rest.
Lazy Sunday? Not if someone can help it. If anything the fight with Terry should prove May Lee has plenty of training to do if she truely wants to take on Vega. Her performance was seen by many, but there was one man who seen it and decided that it must be seen how much training May Lee is in need of. Afterall she is a disciple of both Tae Kwon Do and of Justice and for her to meet defeat against Vega would not be a good thing. She will be prepared.
What she might not notice is the approach of someone to the table. A waiter? Perhaps a fan looking for an autograph? An awkward teen wanting to go out on a date with her!? She will find out it really is none of those if she manages to tear her attention away from the comic. It is just someone all too familiar yet.....foreign.
They are dressed in Kim's typical fighting gear. That much is for certain, but wrapped around their face is what looks like a t-shirt that has been turned into a makeshift ninja mask. Even then one can swear there is a ping of shininess that can be seen trough the thick material. "I am here for that!" he claims in a totally not Kim voice and points towards it. "Fear the power of injustice and give it to me!"
May Lee does look up at the man who is wearing Kim's clothes. She looks at the mask. She listens to his words. There's only one logical conclusion to be reached from this bizarre situation.
"... You stole Master Kim's clothes and now you're here for my collection!!"
May Lee might be tired, but that doesn't mean she's going to let this mysterious man threaten her comic book! And she needs to avenge a (probably very cold) Master Kim!
She's suddenly jumping up from her sitting start, using the back of the chair as a handhold to swing her leg around and aim to plant her foot on this nefarious man's face, with a cry of:
"FEAR THE POWER OF JUSTICE!"

He must certainly be quite the villian if he could defeat Kim and and steal the man's clothing. Or is he a coward that did it while the TKD master was in the shower or asleep? It is hard to tell how serious this man may be. He wants to steal something important so he must fancy himself quite the fighter.
He leans back while raising an arm quickly to deflect the kick. It seems that whoever it is the man has some skill. Or maybe it is just May Lee is so tired from the past few days that she has less pep to her attacks. "Is that all you can do? Your master is probably ashamed of you!" Such a horrible person to make accusations such as that. Kim would never be ashamed of her....would he?
May Lee might not have much time to ponder on that. The masked villian is quick to raise a leg and give a quick kick aimed at the girl's side. Even his movements are like Kim in a way. Did he steal more than the man's clothing!? How devious!

May Lee's eyes go wide as the mysterious man (who is totally not Kim) accuses her of having disappointed her master. She blinks a couple of times... and then she gets hit right in the side. Despite her attempt to block the kick, she winds up being hit pretty hard, and rolling backwards across the cafe. Which, naturally, means that now more and more people are looking on at the impromptu early morning fighting.
"I don't know who you are!" She says, "But I'm not going to let you get away with talking trash about Master Kim!"
The girl rolls back again, underneath a table. "But you've already lost, without Justice in your heart, nothing else I can do will hurt so much!"
And she kicks upwards, sending the table into the air...
"But I'll try!"
And another kick sends the table flying through the air at the horrible villain!

MayLee 0/-------/-----==|-------\-------\0 Kim
The onlookers seem more confused than anything. Some think it is a staged fight because there isn't much one can do to find a more horrible disguise than Kim is wearing. A few are even unsure if they should mention to the girl that is Kim in fear she might think they are on the side of the devious ninja that is attacking her.
Beneath that mask Kim can only smile at hearing her words. They are good words to hear and it is hard for the TKD master to not up and give the girl a hug for being so brave in the face of danger. In fact the table coming his way might be the only reason why he doesn't. It is enough to remind him he must pretend to be evil for awhile longer. It isn't proper training if she finds out it is really him so soon!
He masked fighter easily gets out of the way of the table which thankfully doesn't hit any of the onlookers as well. The owner isn't too happy about a broken table. Kim will pay for it afterwards! At least if he remembers to do so. He is a bit caught up in his act at the moment and he does his best to laugh evilly. "I can say what I want! Try and stop me!" he boasts while taking to the air. He flips about and brings one foot downwards to hit May Lee on the top of her head as he lands in a split and makes a bit of a pose. "Hyaaah!"

"BURNING INTERCEPT!"
May Lee's shout is given as the girl pivots upwards, striking her foot up to match the one coming down at her head. The two kicks meet, and May Lee swings upwards even further to drive her rooted foot home.
The girl doesn't stand still after delivering her attack. Instead, she slowly rotates her foot back down to the ground, and exhales slowly. Both hands come together, before moving to her sides, and she starts to hop on the place. Yup, she's in the zone now! It'd taken a bit to warm herself up, but now her protesting muscles are starting to remember how to fight. You wouldn't think it'd take so long, given how often she'd been doing it lately!
"Who are you?!" She demands, "You fight like Master Kim, but he's way more charming and handsome! You're like ... Kim-lite! I bet you even have a terrible goatee under that mask!"
There is the fight he was hoping to see! The timing is perfect and the kick itself is a good one. Solid enough that it sends !Kim rolling backwards before getting back to his feet. "I am his....evil twin brother! Dark Kim!" That sort of announcement make a few people groan at how absurd it sounds. May Lee on the other hand probably has now the proof that the masked fighter DOES have a goatee under the mask.
"I have defeated my brother and now no one stands in my way to take what I want. Your Kamen Rider collection!" There is another attempt at an evil laugh and a strange muffled ping of light once more that almost shines through the mask.
He keeps his ground and instead straightens up. "Now fear the power that I show!" he declares while lifting up a foot high then slamming it down onto the ground hard. It is enough force that it creates a concussive blast that knocks a few people down and perhaps May Lee as well.

May Lee stands firm. Her arms cross over her chest, and the concussive blast sends her clothing fluttering around her dramatially. When it passes, if this were an episode of Kamen Rider, her theme music would be playing. Over the top of her crossed arms, her eyes shine with renewed determination. Oh, sure. In reality, May Lee probably knows on some level that this isn't Kim's evil brother. But there's real excitement in her, and the chance to demonstrate what she's learned isn't something which comes along every day.
"You don't scare me!"
May Lee's voice rises with genuine fervor. "I'll never give up, so long as I can stand. It is the duty of anyone who can stand up to bullies like you, to stand up strongly! No matter how good your taste in stolen goods is!"
COMBATSYS: MayLee enters a meditative state.

MayLee 0/-------/--=====|-------\-------\0 Kim
She is no fool. She is just easily excited by such things. Kim has learned this and that is why he is even bothering to do this sort of thing. Some people learn better under certain conditions and if she is thinking she is fighting some evil force instead of Kim she is more than likely to put up a stronger showing. That and the kid in Kim often enjoys the silliness of it all.
"You won't be standing for long. That is for sure." he barks back and takes back up his fighting stance. Forward he charges to close the distance between himself and May Lee and then he jumps upwards. He lifts up a leg and twists his body in mid air, a powerful roundhouse is delivered in an attempt to knock the girl off balance or perhaps even ground her. Just how long can she hold out before being overwhelmed?!

Kim really does know May Lee well. With her heart and soul on the line, she's determined to do her best, to show Kim that she really does have what it takes to take such an active role in the fight against evil. The trouble is, of course, that compared to some of the folks out there... she's really very much small fry. But even the smallest fighter in the world has the duty to stand up for what they believe in, and with strength of heart and will, might even stand a chance! If she didn't believe that, she'd just go home and crawl into bed and never come out again.
But she DOES believe that! And that's why she isn't intimidated. The girl hops backwards as the roundhouse is delivered. When she does, lightning starts to gather around her feet...
"You can't knock down JUSTICE, EVILDOER!"
And with that she shrieks, "LIGHTNING BLOW!"
And lunges forwards with her knuckle blazing with electric power. Not a *traditional* Tae Kwon Do move... but she's hardly a traditional Tae Kwon Do student!
COMBATSYS: MayLee successfully hits Kim with May Lee- Lightning Blow!.

MayLee 0/-------/--=====|==-----\-------\0 Kim
She will never be a traditional student even if Kim wanted her to be. He has learned well enough that she is rather set in creating some rather unique moves of her own. The fact she wields energy shows how different her style is from her teacher. He much prefers to use quick movements and punishing kicks more than anything. Then again variety is the spice of life!
The masked fighter prepares for the oncoming strike, aiming to deflect the punch with ease only to find her much quicker than expected. She lands the strike cleanly and it knocks !Kim back where he tumbles over a table and knocks it down in the process, causing further damages he will have to pay for once this little attack is over with.
"Very good!" his voice sounds less like the attempted deep evil one that he has been using and more like his regular one. It is hard to hide the pride he is feeling right now. "But not good enough!" He leaps forward and lets his momentum carry him closer to May Lee. He lands and then reaches to grab the girl by her shoulders before bringing a leg forward to strike her in the stomach.

"You haven't seen anything yet!" The spirited student promises. And then she's being grabbed. The girl tries to slip out of the villain's grip, but she can't quite manage it. Instead, she winds up being kicked in the stomach, and flying back across the cafe. She hits a pair of onlookers, but manages to brace herself. Rather than being a painful projectile for them, she winds up beaming from ear to ear.
"Give me a boost?"
And with their help to throw her forwards, the girl runs across the distance between the pair. And so does her twin.
Kim is probably aware of this a moment before it becomes a real problem, but there's suddenly *two* May Lees, and the pair of girls leap up in perfect synch. "Sure fire victory technique!" They both declare.
"RIDER KICK!"
And as they both descend, trying to plant a pair of powerful kicks right into the villainous chest of the nefarious villain.
COMBATSYS: Kim just-defends MayLee's Key of Victory!

There is a visible wince, but the masked fighter tries to keep his composure. She can take the punishment. If she can't then he has been a bad teacher from the start. Vega or the like certainly won't hold back if she truely wishes to confront him. He seems intent on watching May Lee to see what she will do instead of press his own attack for now. He soon finds himself having to deal with....two May Lees!? It makes his brows raise as he takes a step back then he brings up his left foot and he gives a powerful thrust kick to meet the two feet that were intended to hit him in the chest.
There is a bit of a concussive force released from the two blows meeting and it seems !Kim is ready to go on the attack and leave May Lee little time to recover. That and hope she may be in a bit of a state of awe that a single kick could stop two! He leaves the ground and does a somersault backwards, a kick lashing upwards to catch May Lee in the chin as Kim flips about and lands gracefully on both feet if May Lee doesn't end up being rather crafty and stops his attack.

MayLee 1/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Kim
May Lee hits the ceiling from the force of the kick, and her duplicate disappears. The girl doesn't manage to get out of the way (probably because it is hard to dodge in mid air, even if she has done it before). The girl bounces from the ceiling to hit the floor pretty hard. Yet again, her most dramatic secret techniques fail to find their mark.
She's bleeding, and dizzy, and she can barely stand as she forces herself to get back up. But she DOES stand, and she leans heavily on the counter of the shop as she does, breathing hard and getting her breath back as best she can.
She's still smiling, though. She's never truly stopped, even when shouting.
"Is that... the best... you can do? Tch... I thought, you said, you *beat* Master Kim. He hits *way* harder."
COMBATSYS: MayLee gains composure.

Perhaps he hit her a bit too hard he realizes. The poor guy is ready to drop the charade and check on May Lee after she lands. He starts to walk towards only to stop when she starts to get up. "H...he does!?" he actually seems taken by surprise when she makes that comment. He has to give it to the girl. She certainly has courage much like his own. Even when nearly defeated she shows such defiance. She really is like the daughter he never had.
He folds his arms and eyes the other fighter for a few moments. "Very well....there is only one thing I can do." That is when he reaches up and removes the mask. "Give you a passing grade!" he declares and gives a large blinding grin. *Ping*. He lets his guard down and he rests his hands on his hips while letting out a bit of a laugh. "You still have alot of work to do, but you still show the spark of justice I so much like!"
COMBATSYS: Kim takes no action.

For a moment, May Lee does nothing.
And then she laugh, and shakes her head. "MASTER KIM!" She shouts, as though this is actually a surprise to anyone in the world. This gets some rolled eyes and groans from the crowd.
"Why didn't you *say* something?"
And now the truth is revealed, she falls out of her fighting stance. Mopping at her injuries with the back of her hand, she's perfectly happy to just let that slide. It isn't as though she hasn't been beaten up before, after all.
Hands slide into her pockets, and she saunters over. "Its good to see you. How've you been?"

MayLee 0/-------/=======|====---\-------\0 Kim
It is sappy and even a bit of a let down after such a build up, but it seems that teacher and student both can care less. The fact the two act as if the fight was nothing but a regular occurance can be somewhat weird to most normal people. It may not be as crazy as The Todoh or Sakazaki families, but Kim has his own weird way of handling students as well. "I saw you fight Terry and just wanted to make sure you still were okay." And of course the best way to check up on someone is to attack them. Maybe he has been taking lessons from Takuma.
"I also didn't tell you because you might have fought me differently if you knew it was really me." he seems still rather proud of the disguise he came up with. He hooks a chair with a foot and moves it about to put it near the approaching student so she can have a seat and let herself rest after that vigorous workout. He himself finds a chair to pull over and sits down as well.
"You have seemed to be quite busy lately! I have not seen you at the dojo for quite some time. Is something the matter?" Kim may know there are some bad things going on in this world, but being a busy husband and father has kind of kept him fully paying attention to what his students are doing as well.
May Lee looks uncomfortable. She hadn't shared everything she'd been up to with Kim because she'd been worried he might try to stop her. Despite appearances, May Lee is not an idiot, and she knows that she's stepping into a very dangerous arena full of very dangerous people who might very well try to actually kill her. It is a world away from the showy fights she's used to, and yes, it scares her a little bit. But she believes in the heroic ideal she professes, and if that means putting her life on the line... that's what she has to do.
Sitting down, the girl relaxes a little, but she's still not quite comfortable. "Shadaloo has been killing people." She says, and that's really what this is all about. "They're trying to scare fighters, and intimidate people like Ken. When I spoke to him, he was even ready to just... let them get away with it! Because Shadaloo are dangerous, and they don't play fair. They'll try and attack anyone close to the people causing them trouble."
And May Lee can't really be too hard on people who choose not to fight because of that. Kim's children could look after themselves... but his wife? Ken's wife? This is about the only real advantage May Lee has over her allies. Most of the people *she* really cares about are trained fighters in their own right.
"So I've been trying to find other people who can help me bring them to justice. We can't let Shadaloo get away with this kind of thing!"
The elder fighter reaches up to idly rub at his chin as he listens. He knows plenty about Shadaloo and their misdeeds. They are very bad seeds and also not ones to be taken lightly. Even a skilled fighter such as himself would have trouble taking on many of the minions under Vega's control. "I am well aware they do such things." he admits. There are so many people that need to be taken down, but Kim also knows that it will take more than just him to be able to put a stop to such things.
"So you were going to try and fight him without me knowing. How do you think I would feel if you got hurt and I didn't know?" He then smiles and lowers his hand as he crosses both arms over his chest. "Your heart is in the right place. You have learned well, but...." he trails off and considers. "Shadaloo is probably the most dangerous type of people. They have no morals and are underhanded. You must be careful and pick fights wisely." He knows all too well it won't be easy. If it was so simple he would have defeated Vega long ago so he wouldn't have to have a conversation like this.
"I think you are right. We should put a stop to this man." If Ken is looking to try and stop Vega as well maybe there can be enough fighters gathered to actually stop Shadaloo. Perhaps not once and for all, but to at least send them away wounded for a long time. "May Lee! Continue to gather your team! Once you form them I wish to meet them all!"
May Lee looks suitably chastened by the admonishment. The girl actually looks a little embarrassed. What if she *had* gotten herself really hurt? It is possible, after all. She hasn't actually met any Shadaloo thugs yet, thankfully, but if they are as bad news as everyone else keeps saying...
"W-well, it was Ken's idea, really..." She admits, scratching behind the back of her head with a nervous little smile. It isn't like she wants to take credit where credit isn't due, even if she did kind of strongarm him into picking the idea up again despite his misgivings.
And then her smile becomes more solid. She nods her head firmly. "I won't rush in without thinking!" She promises, seriously. "Johnny Jones has already said he's going to help, and Ken said he's got a few ideas of people who might help us out!" She beams from ear to ear, "Jones is a former Black Ranger, you know! He's soooo cool, Master Kim! Just wait until you meet him!"
Johnny Jones? Kim has to think a bit until realizing who the young woman is referring to. That man certainly is an interesting one, but seems to be a good soul. Perhaps May Lee can learn some good things from him....and avoid getting any bad habits. "Is he now? I have seen him on television, but have not met him. I shall have to remedy that!" This could be a bad or a good thing for Jones.
The elder TKD fighter stands up. "If you see Ken tell him I am interested in helping, but we must be careful." As much as he would like to heroically charge in and start kicking he knows all too well that won't be the case. Too many dangerous people to worry about and they are better off trying to seperate and corner each one instead of trying to take on Vega and all his minions at once. "If I meet any others that might be useful to your team I will be sure to send them your way!"
He can't help but feel a bit excited himself. The chance to fight evil is always a good way to get the adrenaline pumping and put Kim in a good mood. "Until then keep training! I must be off!" More people to perhaps jump? Who knows what Kim might have planned. More than likely it is to make sure Dong Hwan isn't being lazy again. Nothing like a good wakeup kick to the head!
