SNF 2012.02 - SNF: "Go-Go Good Team!"

Description: It's been a while since the old Red Arena has had a matchup worthy of it! Three faces meet up to test their mettle against one another, three men with a penchant for justice or maybe just really good sandwiches. The arena is packed with fans from all three sides, though Kim's section seems to be mostly populated with villainous sorts just looking to see the champion of justice's head bashed in. Hey, whatever though, tickets are tickets! (Winner: Hayato)



%Hayato's in a pretty good place for SNF right now, after his last fight served as a victory for JUSTICE. (It was a win against Juri, so a single capital letter really doesn't suffice.) And now he's signed up for a match which, while it doesn't provide as much service to the public good, promises to be much more fun. Terry and Kim are both Real Men by Hayato's standards, and they also aren't likely to try to actually kill him.

The Red Arena at Masters Stadium is a pretty well known fighting ground, and potentially provides some interesting tactical advantages. Perhaps Hayato will take advantage of them, but it's more likely he'll just want to pit his strength head-on against these two. The teacher stands by the edge of the wooded area, leaning back and forth as he stretches out his arms and legs, limbering himself up for the fight ahead.

Last week was something SNF hadn't seen in a long time. An appearance from Kim Kaphwan for the first time in quite a few years. While the match was marred by the fact Mr. Jones could not make the battle due to problems Kim still showed he could still put up a good fight as he took on Zach and downed him in Slam Masters arena. Even more so it seems to be a very special treat because it looks like Kim fans will get to see him two weeks in a row!

The every energetic Tae Kwon Do fighter emerges in his fighting gear. Everything right now looks perfect and the TKD warrior is all smiles as he gives a thumbs up to the fans then raises his arms to wave to everyone as he turns about. Now this is just what he wanted. Like minded men that truely understand JUSTICE. Even more so it means a chance to do battle with Terry for the first time in a long while. Bogard has always given him trouble, but he has always enjoyed a good fight when he has a chance. Perhaps after all these years can he end up on the winning end!? It is hard to say. Hayato isn't exactly a pushover either and the teacher is involved in this fight as well. "All right! Everyone will enjoy this!"

Or maybe not everyone just yet. There is a group behind the entrance that Kim came out of. They all look rather annoyed and all frowny faces. Probably people Kim has beaten up in the past and they won't be smiling until they see him knocked out of this fight.

There's only one person Terry would kill, and that guy's as hard to eliminate as a cockroach. But, like Hayato, he's been looking forward to this fight. Who wouldn't? It promises to be quite the fun experience, but... Hayato vs. Kim vs. Terry? Hmm. He wonders about that. The last to arrive, Terry doesn't miss the booing section behind the honorable Kim Kaphwan. The Wolf dusts his hands off, tightening his gloves, as he approaches the two other fighters.

"Mr. Nekketsu. Kim." He smiles, a big, confident, cocky smile. "I know this card is supposed to be you," he points at Hayato, "versus you," pointing at Kim, "versus me," he says, jacking a thumb at his chest, "but I've got a different proposal."

He's serious, but playful at the same time, as he states, boldly, "I think I can take you -both-. You beat me? Then you two can duke it out for the title. Sound like fun?"

Hayato stops stretching with the arrival of the other men, giving both of them friendly waves. "Good setup for a match, right? It's got my blood pumping already!" He smiles brightly, although not quite with Kim's perfect gleam. And then Terry makes his offer.

Hayato is well aware that Terry is the powerhouse in this fight. And he also understands where the man is coming from. Who doesn't like a challenge? Well, a lot of people, really, but Hayato doesn't understand the way they think. He stands up straight, grinning widely and glances toward Kim. "Sounds good to me. What d'you say?" He slides his shinai out from the loops on the back of his jacket, gripping it firmly.

That smile only seems to get bigger for a moment when Kim sees Terry. Then a brow raises when the proposal is made. My he seems rather confident of himself. Not that Kim doubts the man's skill, but it isn't exactly like both Hayato and Kim are pushovers when it comes to the fighting world. "You want to take us both on?" he looks thoughtful and then looks to Hayato momentarily. It seems like teacher seems to be fine with such an offer so in the end it seems to be up to Kim.

After another moment the TKD master throws a fist in the air. "Very well! Good luck to you Mr. Bogard! You will need it!" he says and begins hopping lightly on his feet. The adrenaline is starting to get pumping and the fact for now he doesn't have to worry about Hayato means he can really test his mettle against Terry for the time being. "Lets get this started!"

Terry turns towards the crowd. "ALRIGHT!! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!" Playing the showman a bit, Terry tightens his trucker's cap and grins fiercely, as he turns back towards his opponents.

"Alright then, Hayato, Kim. I don't want either of you to hold back! Give me your best!!" He slams his right hand, balled into a fist, into his left palm twice, then hunkers down into his fighting stance, arms in close, elbows cocked out a little, legs wide.

"I'm startin' to get pumped up!!" he informs the two, and that becomes evident--energy flowing up from his feet, lighting him up in gold and white, power surging through his frame.

COMBATSYS: Terry gathers his will.

COMBATSYS: Hayato has ended the fight here.


Hayato slashes his shinai through the air a few times and grins at Terry. "Oh, I don't think you need to worry about us holding back." He looks over to Kim, still grinning. "Right?" Hayato settles into a ready stance, and then when Terry starts getting himself pumped up the teacher takes that as a cue that it's time to get things rolling.

The teacher charges across the arena toward Terry, his stride chewing up the ground between them. There's no subtlety behind his approach, and he's clearly winding up for a full-bodied punch as he gets near. But even with all the telegraphing, he's still moving in quite quickly, and once his fist starts flying forward he doesn't intend for it to stop.

Holding back? Kim probably doesn't know such a thing beyond maybe when dealing with students. When dealing with a fight such as Terry there is no such thing as holding back. You either go all out or you go home. "Bogard! You should know I would never do such a thing. We are men and respectible fighters afterall!" He also soon finds Hayato is done talking at least for now and he goes charging in towards Terry.

It isn't long before the Kim himself is breaking into a run to close the distance between himself and Terry. He will let Hayato go in with that first strike, but soon follows up with an attack on his own. Just how well will the duo be able to work together and keep Terry on his feet? And while a shinai is used by Hayato it is obviously Kim using his weapon of choice for the followup. A rather quick and solid kick aimed at Terry's shoulder

That's -exactly- what he wants to hear. Terry's grin doesn't lessen--if anything, it grows into a true smile, flashing surprisingly pearly whites--as the two men, his opponents, in other circumstances his comrades, come at him. Hayato's incoming blow is met with the Legendary Wolf's right forearm, Kim's kick taken on the shoulder, but braced--his body turned to absorb the blow where it won't do disabling damage, impact into tensed muscle.

With two powerful men before him, Terry knows he has to step up his game--got to make this entertaining--and challenging. Well, since Hayato came at him first, he decides to give him the first shot--as it were. Having started to turn, Terry continues the spin, sweeping his fist out in a backfist aimed for the Taiyo gym teacher's temple.

COMBATSYS: Hayato blocks Terry's Strong Punch.

Hayato didn't really expect his first blow to get past Terry's guard, but you can't take down a titan without at least giving it a real try! Also, since he was expecting the attack to be dealt with, he also anticipated that Terry would be able to follow up swiftly with a response of his own. The teacher swings up both arms to take the impact of Terry's fist, and it still manages to push him back a bit. The teacher laughs as he brings his arms back down. "That's the stuff! I was looking for a challenge."

Of course, just running headlong at an opponent, swinging wildly, isn't the only way Hayato knows how to fight. It's not often that he fights with a partner, but he knows how to take advantage of it. He glances at Kim, then starts trying to swing around and approach Terry from behind, hoping that Kim will serve as a distraction. Either way, though, he rushes in at Terry, tring to grab him around the waist, then lift him up and fall backward to slam Terry's upper back into the ground.

It was a good first attempt by the pair, but Kim knows just as much as Hayato things aren't going to be easy. Even two skilled fighters like them aren't going to easily overwhelm Terry. At least not right off the bat. If they can keep working together well things might change. even the most skilled of fighters can start to get tired. Kim and Hayato can pace themselves a bit better since they are working together so that is an advantage they will have to try and exploit.

Kim watches intently as Hayato goes rushing in again. This time it looks like the teacher wishes to get into a grappling mode so the Tae Kwon Do master holds back for a few moments to see how Terry handles the other fighter. Kim is more than ready to lash out with his own attack be it Hayato manages to get ahold of Terry or not. Soon the blonde will be dealing with an airborne Kim sailing up high then coming downwards with a powerful kick that will end with him landing in a split. "Ha-hah!"

The whirling, overhead kick is avoided, Terry shifting neatly to one side--and then he's turning to deal with Hayato--too late! Terry gets upended and slammed into the ground and, man, that is a painful way to go to the ground. But he thrashes free and rolls away and, despite being quite the worse for wear, tips his hat (somehow, it stayed on) to Hayato, in a self-mocking salute... and then, he's drawing his right arm back.

Terry's style is pretty straightforward, and he's lunging--not for Hayato but for Kim. His lunge turns into a full-on level flight, leading with his right fist, energy flaring around the gloved hand as he shouts, to focus his energy even more. "BURN... KNUCKLE!!"

After slamming Terry into the ground Hayato quickly starts rolling away. He does know some further wrestling moves, but unless he could be certain to get Terry into a solid lock very quickly, it would probably be a bad idea to stay in close quarters with the other man. After rolling for a short distance he springs back to his feet, quickly making sure he's facing the blond man.

It turns out that he doesn't have to worry about Terry right away, though. While Terry is lunging toward Kim, Hayato plants his feet and his body tenses up. Orange energy begins radiating out from him as he focuses his Burning Spirit for the rough fight ahead. He's going to need all the energy he can summon up in order to take on Terry. And judging by the expression on Hayato's face, he's quite happy about that.

COMBATSYS: Hayato gathers his will.

The impact against the ground is powerful. It is a good thing Terry was about to get out of the way from the looks of things, but at the same time Kim is left a bit open as he recovers from his failed attempt at hitting Terry. There is time to get to his feet, but not much else. Terry is already almost upon him at that point so all Kim can do is throw up his arms to try and soften the blow. Teeth clench and the impact sends him sliding back across the floor as he manages to keep on his feet. "Still a hard hitter! I will have to be more careful!"

Looks like he isn't being too careful. He seems more intent on just going right for Terry and reaches out to grasp for him. Hayato seemed to have some success in grappling with Terry so maybe Kim hopes to do much the same. His movements are quick and he just looks to grasp Terry by his shirt and then twist about quickly to toss him aside. Actually more like he attempts to toss him towards Hayato. BATTER UP!?

COMBATSYS: Terry just-defends Kim's Kubikime Otoshi!

Terry is grasped, and thrown--but executes a rather picturesque midair flip and turn, tucking into a ball, absorbing and redirecting the force of it. He'd give a flippant answer, but Kim is a Serious Man and thus Terry treats him Seriously. But he'll have to thank Kim for the boost, later, as he had been intending to drive towards Hayato anyways--now he doesn't have to, and as he comes out of his tuck, well, he takes a page from pro wrestling...

...and extends both legs out to try and take Hayato clean in the upper chest. If it works? Then he'll have enough residual energy to backflip and land on his feet. If not? Well, thent hings get more interesting. But it's certainly a flashy-looking way to deal with being thrown at the gym teacher.

Kim              0/-------/------=|====---\-------\0           Hayato


Hayato is just starting to loosen up his stance a bit when he sees Terry flying toward him. Jumping out of the way isn't an option, and even if he gets his guard up, taking Terry's full weight behind that kick isn't going to be fun. So Hayato decides to meet the kick with one of his own. He pivots on one foot, bring his leg sweeping out fully extended. Blazing chi surrounds his foot as it crashes into Terry's side.

Unfortunately for Hayato, physics decrees that it's going to take a bit more of an impact than that to send Terry completely off course that close to impact, so Hayato still ends up staggering back from the force of the blow.

The plan didn't quite go as intended. If Hayato didn't think fast it could have gone very very bad. Kim was about to shout at Hayato to be careful, but it seems the teacher does well at handling the situation. "Good job!" Kim calls out to the shinai wielder and gives him a big thumbs up. Hayato is really looking tough out there. Kim better step up his own game or else he is just going to look like a fool in comparison to the other two fighters.

It looks like with Terry at least downed momentarily now is the best time to try and attack. He can't waste time and give the veteran fighter too much time to recover. When Terry is getting to his feet he soon finds Kim upon him and the Tae Kwon Do master quickly dishes out a series of quick kicks to further try to punish Terry and take him down.

Kim              0/-------/=======|====---\-------\0           Hayato


Terry does hit the ground hard, and, he reflects, this is probably as tough a fight as he had against Yagami, if not a little tougher, and in sublimely different ways. Not that he isn't used to fighting more than one opponent--but every fight is just a little different from the other. Handling these two is the kind of challenge he relishes. This is what goes through his head as he hits the ground, as his training takes over and he immediately rolls to his feet only to be beset by the oncoming Kim Kaphwan, Man of Justice.

He's acting before he really thinks about it, trusting instinct and training--and so one of those kicks snaps right across his jaw before he lunges hard, forward and up, leading with his shoulder, driving it up into Kim's chest--launching the TKD master right off his feet... and following him upwards, only to slam him down to the flooring with a hard, right smash, his fist once again engulfed in gold-white chi.

Hayato returns Kim's thumbs-up with a quick shinai salute, which turns into a wince when Terry drives Kim first into the air, and then into the ground. That looked like it hurt. Still, he can't just stand around feeling sorry for Kim. They're in the middle of a fight! So while Terry is putting the hurt on Kim, Hayato comes up on him with his shinai held high.

He lashes out with a slash at a downward angle, following it up with a series of horizontal slashes, swinging the shinai so quickly it starts to blur. Then he raises the weapon up high once more for a final descending strike aimed at Terry's head.

There is the feeling of his foot connecting solidly upon the first hit he was delivering. The impact he soon feels against his chest is not something that was expected at all. Looks like Terry much like Hayato decided to just throw caution to the wind this time around and it pays off. Kim is easily caught and has no real way of getting out of the way or avoiding the punishment of being driven hard into the ground of the arena. The air is knocked out of him and he is not exactly quick to get up.

He lays there a moment before getting his wits about him along with catching his breath enough to kip back up to his feet. He wobbles a bit to try and regain his balance, but he is still grinning a bit. He will just have to be more careful now. No way he can allow himself to get mauled like that again. "Not bad, Bogard! I won't let that happen again!" he says and takes a moment to let Hayato go in and attempt to do some damage as he takes a moment to gather himself and figure out what to do next.

COMBATSYS: Kim focuses on his next action.

Terry takes the time to nod to Kim. "I know you won't, Kaphwan," he remarks. And then, once again, Hayato is upon him. The man is tenacious, strong, and skilled; the way he uses that shinai makes Terry glad indeed that he's not using a heavier weapon, as he stands like a boxer, almost in the same kind of defense posture, rocking with the blows, absorbing them on his biceps and forearms, the last, overhead smash caught in upraised forearms, at the wrists. Stings, but better than bamboo to the face.

"Guess it's your turn, Mr. Nekketsu. I apologize--I've been slacking off a little, when it came to you..." He jolt-feints forward, but redirects his momentum and brings a glowing left fist into the ground, arcing it downwards... and setting off a brief, spreading wave of golden chi, threatening to cress waist-height on Hayato, exploding out from him in a wide semi-circle.

With the wave of energy closing in on him, Hayato doesn't care about grace. He just leaps out of the way, tumbling as he hits the ground and rolling for a short distance before scrambling back to his feet. "If this is you slacking off, I think we might be in some trouble! Just makes it even more exciting, though." The teacher is looking a little bit worn down, but he plants his feet firmly and focuses himself. Inhale, exhale. Terry is a tough opponent, but Hayato's Burning Spirit won't let him back down over a little thing like that! It just gets him more pumped up.

COMBATSYS: Hayato channels 100% pure BURNING!!

It seems at least for a moment Kim is spared from further punishment. In all honesty it is no realy surprise and Kim knows it. Hayato has practically handling Terry all on his own and if anything Kim hasn't been exactly a big factor other than being nominated for 'Best Smear on the Ground' this fight. He just has to get in the zone. He just keeps telling himself to look for an opening and keep going all out. Even so he knows he should not exert his energy fully. Just in case Terry does go down he has to be prepared to possibly deal with Hayato one on one afterwards.

He tries to worry about fighting Hayato later. The more important part right now is taking down Terry. No reason to worry about the other part if he can't even get through him. With Terry focused on Hayato that is when Kim decides to attack once more. His movements a bit slowed still from the last impact, but more than ready to throw all his weight into the massive flying roundhouse that he unleashes in an attempt to slap Terry right across the jaw. "Justiiiiiiice KICK!"

COMBATSYS: Kim successfully hits Terry with Colossal Kick.

Kim              1/-------/=======|======-\-------\0           Hayato


It's an impact that would break a lesser man's jaw. Or snap his neck. For Terry, it isn't -quite- as bad... but it's bad. The flying roundhouse snaps his head around; his body follows, and he hits the ground with a crash, the momentum rolling him twice before he comes to a stop. When he rises... he's laughing, a little, even with a jaw that's already purpling where he took that hit. "As always, Kaphwan, your kicks are peerless..." Up on the jumbotron, that moment of impact is being replayed, in slow motion... and Terry fancies he can still feel that moment.

Is he going to retaliate? Well... he could. Perhaps -should-. But he's thinking about it. Probably not the best thing to do, really--his brain just gets in the way--and then he decides. For that kick, Kim gets a bit of a pass, because it was just too good. Too powerful. Terry, instead, rounds on Hayato.

Gettin' pumped up, the man is, and Terry intends to help him with that. He takes a long, low-arcing leap, lands in front of Hayato... and then drives forward, reenacting an attack from a moment go... or is he? Hayato and Kim can probably tell that there's a much higher spike of chi flow as Terry shouts, "POWER..." And then slams his right fist into the ground. "GEYSER!!!" At the last--the impact, the word--a true geyser of golden-white chi bursts out of the ground, blowing upwards at an angle, for Hayato... and then Terry slams his left fist into the ground and unleashes another!! "DOUBLE!!!"

This time there's no escaping. The blast is too close and too fast, and all Hayato can do is hunker down and try to take it. He crosses his arms in front of his face as the first blast crashes against him, driving his heels back through the dirt. Well, that wasn't so- and then there's the second blast, rocking Hayato back as he tries to keep his guard up. But when the light fades away Hayato's still standing, despite having felt his bones rattle all the way up his arms.

"Now that's a rush!" The teacher grins as he lets his arms drop and steps in toward Terry. His arms need a bit to recover, though, so he leads in by snapping out a kick in front of him toward the pit of Terry's stomach. His form may not be nearly as good as Kim's, but Hayato's legs have still got a fair bit of power in them.

That was just the opening he needed! He can feel his foot land solidly while delivering the kick and he isn't surprised soon afterwards with a powerful blast of energy or a fist! He touches down onto the ground once more gracefully and he grins. "As you can see I have been working on hitting ha...hey! I am over here!" he says and waves his hands a bit as Terry actually goes after Hayato. Really for Kim it is probably a good thing because it looks like Terry is breaking out some real power moves now as he goes after the teacher.

Even so he seems more than willing to give chase in this case. Terry might soon find himself being sanwiched between a kick coming from each competitor. In Kim's case it is a somersault kick aimed to knock Terry upwards and away if the Tae Kwon Do master can land it perfectly.

Terry knew, going into this, that his challenge was a bit of an uphill battle. That, though he considered himself quite capable of it, it wouldn't be a -surprise-, per se, if he was defeated by the two men. Rising from the crouch, Terry quick backsteps away from the kick, turning halfway in midair--too late. Kim's famous Hien Zan connects and that's enough to take Terry out of the fight. He arcs up and away, landing hard on his shoulders... and though he stirs moments later, it's only to push up on one hand and grin.

"Good fight, fellas. Now why don't you two see who really wins?" A few moments later, he's up, and, testament to his two opponent's skills, hobbles to the side. Sure, he's tough, and the injuries will heal pretty quickly, but they still -hurt-... though he brushes off the SNF medics as he sits back to watch the rest of the fight.

Hayato tries to test out his arms without drawing too much attention to it, and after a few moments is satisfied that they've recovered enough from blocking those blasts from Terry. "I'll look forwad to the rematch!" He grins as the blond goes to sit back and recover, and then his gaze slides over to Kim. "Well then. Shall we?" He doesn't wait too long for a response, though, as he's pretty sure what it will be.

Hayato reaches out for Kim with his left hand, trying to grab the man by his shirt and yank him in close. At the same time he brings his right hand swinging up in an attempt to drive it into Kim's gut, lifting him up off his feet, then tossing him to the ground.

In the end it does seem that overwhelming Terry did pay off. It was a noble effort and Kim knows all too well Terry was just wanting to test his limits. He certainly has nothing to be ashamed of and he did well given the two men he was fighting against. "You still are great, Bogard! It is always a pleasure to fight you!" he says and gives another infectious grin before he looks to Hayato. "Indeed! Time to see which one of us paced ourselves better!"

He seems all than more prepared as Hayato comes in. He goes to grab for that outstretched hand and instead he finds himself gripped and his attempt to pull away only end in a powerful punch delivered to his gut that knocks the air out of him once more. He is tossed onto the ground and unlike when Terry drove him to the ground Kim is quick to bounce back upwards and snaps a quick kick forward to try and throw Hayato off balance. It is just one of many kicks that become a flurry that the TKD expert uses to try and punish the teacher. A flurry that ends with a powerful somersault kick like the one he just used on Terry followed up by a second before a final kick would be delivered to try and drive Hayato back to the ground hard.

Hayato is still trying to step back when the kick from Kim snaps up and knocks him off balance. It leaves him reeling long enough for Kim to attack for real, battering Hayato with a flurry of kicks before finally launching him up and then slamming him into the ground hard. For a moment he's sprawled out there, then he slides his arms back and pushes himself up to a kneeling position. He spits out some dirt before grinning up at Kim. "Okay, my turn."

The teacher launches himself up and toward Kim, snapping his shinai out in front of him and starting to spin. Orange chi flares up around the weapon, becoming a glowing blur as Hayato rapidly spins around in an attempt to juggle Kim into the air with repeated shinai blows.

Kim lands gracefully once more and he gives a thumbs up to the crowd. Needless to say all the criminals that were hoping Kim to be a smear on the wall right now are not happy. There might be a mini riot at this rate. Their anger at least will be lessened just slightly as things continue to unfold. Even if he looks confident it seems Kim is still not quick enough to keep himself from getting smacked around by Hayato. He looks to try and use a leg to kick upwards and knock the shinai away only to get caught up in the tornado that Hayato has become. He is kept in the air for quite a bit before dropping down hard on the ground and rolling away.

"V....very good!" he manages to say as he slowly gets back to his feet. He is on wobbly leg street right now and he just tries to keep his balance. "But can you stop......JUSTICE!" he yells while raising a foot and bringing it down hard on the ground. The powerful stomp combined with the shout just seems to release a powerful blast that comes outwards from him and knocks hats off onlookers and maybe even has enough force to drive Hayato back away from him.

Hayato can't even see the force that hits him, but he can definitely feel it. The teacher rocks back, his jacket fluttering out behind him as the power from Kim crashes over him. It forces him to pause for a moment, but it's not able to hold him off for long. "Heh. You've made a mistake there. I don't need to stop Justice... because I'm on the same side!"

Hayato runs toward Kim, leaping toward him and leading with his right leg. He attempts to connect with Kim's chest, then kick off in order to spin around and drive in his left foot as well, before pushing off to gain a bit of distance while he recovers from his landing.

So perhaps Kim did get a bit carried away. Even his own students at times will be the first to agree to that. Even so in this case it is because he is so caught up in the moment and having fun that he lets himself get carried away. That and well, he has taken some heavy blows so he just might not be thinking straight. Even if he is grinning still he looks like he has been knocked just a bit loopy. That is why it is surprising that he manages to keep his footing and actually get out of the way of Hayato when he comes in and aims to deliver those two powerful kicks.

"Ha-ah? A kicking contest!" he says and he seems more than happy to oblige. He crouches low and then launches himself upwards, flipping about and coming towards Hayato feet first as he begins just an endless barrage of bicycle kicks as he attempts to drive Hayato into the ground once more.

Hayato tries to move out of the way, but he's too worn down to escape the whirlwind of feet that drives him into the ground. He's able to roll away before he can actually get stomped /into/ the ground, though. Getting into a contest of kicks with Kim is just a bad idea all around, so it's a good thing that Hayato has other weapons to rely on aside from his feet.

The teacher springs back to his feet. He's looking a little wobbly, but it doesn't keep him from lashing out with a heavy overhand swing in an attempt to smash Kim into the ground. And then follow up with repeated slashes to keep him there, trying to strike him down every time he attempts to get up or roll away, before finally making a long, sweeping swing to catch the other man under the ribcage and send him spinning away.

Kicks are to Kim much as shinai strikes are to Hayato. While Kim can lay out some punishment from his feet he just doesn't seem to have enough in him to finish off Hayato. He narrows his eyes and he seems more than ready for the incoming attack. That is when he starts to jump upwards only to get caught by that overhead swing that cracks the top of his head and sends him reeling. Several others strikes just keep him from managing to get away and the barrage in the end just seems to be too much for Kim.

He tries to will his body to get back to his feet fully. He just can never get the strength to do so and he just gives one last smile and gives another thumbs up to Hayato before falling backwards and landing on his back. He is breathing, but it looks like he is taking an adventure into nap land as the group of thugs that came to see Kim get beaten down erupt into cheers that easily are heard over all the other sections of the arena. They got their monies worth today.

Hayato watches for a moment, waiting to see if Kim will be able to continue the fight. When it appears that he can't, Hayato raises his shinai up in a victory pose, listening to the cheering of the crowd. If he knew /why/ one section of the crowd was cheering so loudly he'd probably disapprove, though. He wanders over to check on Kim, glancing in Terry's direction with a grin as he does so. "Want to go hit the bars, once he's back on his feet?" Some doctor would probably say that alcohol and blows to the head don't mix, but what do they know?
