Description: Last week's match might have been a bit hard on poor Shenwoo. Tossed out into the hot, nasty desert and matched up against a man who might have been twice his height, depending on who you ask, it's time for a little break. Say goodbye to the heat, to the sun--to plant life in general! These two fighters had better pack their best long johns, because they're being shipped to the south pole! Yes, getting as far away from Santa as possible, dropped into the biting cold and low light, who will prove themselves king (or queen!) of the frozen continent? (Winner: Shenwoo)

Yes, Shenwoo's last fight was a bit rough. Cast into the scorching deserts of Arizona and oput up against the likes of the long-legged Sagat.
Oh, don't get me wrong, he loved the fight. Would have liked to land a few more blows though,m but that';s just that. The heat though, G'damn!
It seems like a nasty, mean-spirited joke that his next fight would find him in the frozen wastes of the far, far, far, far south.
He stands on a patch of ice that has been designated as their ring. Flares burning with a bright, phosphorescent glare mark what would be the four corners...
Not that it matters really.
The closest thing they have to a refery is huddled inside of a warm(er) scientific observation outpost some fifty yards away, peering at them through a small pair of binoculars.
Standing in one corner is the Wild Man of Shanghai, Shenwoo... Who is horribly underdressed for the weather! Little more than a over-priced leather jacket was brought to ward off the deathly chiil. Damn things not even buttoned up either... For that matter, neither is his shirt!
Shivering and aggrivated, Shenwoo curses tersley past chattering teeth, hands jammed into his armpits, "Bastards.... w'who do they think they are." he is heard to grumble before issueing a fierce sneeze!
For some reason, a small gaggle of penguins have gathered around him. They huddle and crowd at his legs. The presence of the tuxedo'd things only serves to bother him further.
"Get off of me, assholes!" he yells while punting one towards the horizon.
Oh... they didn't like that...
Antarctica can be quite cold. Especially when you're not wearing a lot of clothing, or at least not something that will keep you warmed up. But wearing too much clothing can have you unable to move around as well as you usually can. So Yuri shows up in her usual attire, that is a gi top with purple leggings, and sneakers with socks. She seems to shiver a little, but the light stretching and exercising she does seems intent on keeping her warmed up for the time being. Of course, when the penguins gather, things change quite a bit.
Yuri looks over at the penguins and giggles. "Hey, these penguins seem friendly, don't they?" Yuri asks with a grin at Shenwoo. "Maybe we could have them fight with us?" Yuri's not entirely serious, but when you're Yuri, it doesn't matter. All that matters is a good fight, as Yuri demonstrates by getting into her fighting stance.
The penguins are incensed, maybe the one he just kicked was some kind of penguin Buddah. Either way, they squak and flap and honk their displeasure with the Mad Boxer, going so far as to start pecking and biting him with their little, orange beaks. He barks at them with each stinging nip, trying to ward them off with a sweep of his arm or a kick.
Somehow, he manages to hear Yuri's giggled comment above the din and the scything winds. Apparently taking some manner of offense, the tall blonde bares teeth in aggrivation, his tongue clicking off of the back of them in a annoy, 'Tsh'.
"You like 'em so much?!" he growled, reaching down with a gloved hand and snatching one up by the back of it's neck, "HERE-!" he barks as he rears back and lets fly, hurling the flightless-bird at her like some kind of adorable, well-dressed torpedo!
"You can have them!"

"Hey! Don't throw those penguins!" Yuri shouts angrily as she watches Shenwoo grab a penguin. "That's cruel!" As the penguin comes flying at Yuri, she attempts to deflect it in a way that will protect herself but not hurt the penguin too much either. As soon as she deflects it to the ground, Yuri kneels down to check on it before looking to Shenwoo.
"You wanna hurt these innocent little penguins?!" Yuri snaps as she storms over towards Shenwoo. "You are cruel to animals! And I hate people who are cruel to animals!" Yuri attempts to grab Shenwoo by the arm, and if successful, will roll onto her back and throw Shenwoo into the air and away from her using her foot to add some velocity.

"Innoce- Ow!" begins Shenwoo, the disbeleif in his features and the words on his lips cut off by a sudden, pained exclimation brought on by a penguin suddenly digging it's beak into his thigh, "You little-!" he continues, about to thump the bird soundly, only to have his arm suddenly caught by Yuri... That's right, he's supposed to be fighting her! He's sent sailing, a foot levered into his midsection, giving him that much more of a boost. His landing is softer than you might expect however. His body whips around in mid-air, , no longer ass over tea kettle, Shenwoo gets his boots under him, the tread slipping backwards on the ice for a good yard before the man can bring himself to a hault by thrusting his fingers into the frozen ground, digits acting like brakes.
The penguins, suddenly aware of the escape of their target, hustle forward as one, toddling after Shenwoo, their flippers flapping, determination shining in their eyes. 'Wak, wak, wak, wak-!'
"You're on their side?!" barks Shenwoo, eyes narrowed on the gi'd girl. "They started it!" He adds for good measure! Rearing up, the man slams a fist into a open hand, grinding his knuckles into his palm and causing them to snap and crackle in the process. "FINE!" he declares, "If you're all going to side against me then I'll take every last one of you on! HERE I COME!" his voice peaks in a roar with this declaration of war and suddenly he's off like a shot!
"Oraaaaa!" he bellows as he charges, barreling through the flock of penguins, they get their nips and bites in as he charges through them on his way to Yuri. With one fist cocked back by his ear, Shenwoo zeroes in on the girl. You'd think that he'd hold back against women and small animals but if someone picks a fight with Shenwoo, they should expect a beating regardless of gender or species!
His fist fires off as soon as he draws close enough, a four-knuckle fiasko firing off right towards Yuri's face... It's like some kiond of face-seeking fist-missile!
COMBATSYS: Shenwoo successfully hits Yuri with Gekiken.

Shenwoo 0/-------/---====|=======\-------\0 Yuri
A face-seeking missile is definitely the right term for what Shenwoo is doing. Yuri tries to brace herself, but she can barely even get back into position as she gets hit. The fist hits her flat in the face, causing her to reel backwards and then slip on the ice, falling flat on her rear. "OWWWW!" Yuri whines as she lands hard. "I can't believe this is happening to me! This is soooooooooo embarassing!" Yuri looks like she's actually about to burst into tears, but then a few penguins waddle up to her, and her demeanor changes.
"Wait, what do you guys want?" Yuri asks with intrigue. One of the penguins does what looks like some kind of strange dance to Yuri, and she nods. "You're right, I can't give up yet!" Yuri dusts herself off and pushes herself up while holding one hand to her nose to stop the bleeding. "All right, guys, let's think this over!" Yuri says as she mock-confers with the penguins, trying to get a better idea of things.
COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.

Shenwoo 0/-------/---====|=====--\-------\0 Yuri
Yuri can confer, converse, and conspire with the penguins all she wants. It doesn't mean that Shenwoo is going to wait around paitiently for her to finish!
"Oy, oy, oy! What the hell do you think you're doing over there?!" demands the blonde man through chattering teeth! "This is a fight, not a tea party, if you bore me, I'm really going to get mad!" he warns even as he is beset by his penguin pursuers. By now they have opened several rents in his leather pants... WHICH ALSO PISSES HIM OFF!
%"Little bastards-!" he snarls as he kicks and shoves his way out of the frenzied flock.
He's off one a run again, closing with Yuri and her antarctic associates, "Didn't you here me, I SAID GET UP AND FIGHT!" he ordered as he crashed in on the scene with all the grace and composure of a bull dozer, a fist coming around to clock her soundly and hopefully get her butt into gear!
COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Shenwoo's Strong Punch.

"Hey! Don't get so bent out of shape!" Yuri snaps as she looks up at Shenwoo. "You need to learn some patience, ya know that?" A fist comes at Yuri, but Yuri spins around and deflects it away. "Come on, lighten up a little!" Yuri steps towards Shenwoo, almost as if to 'force' him away from teh penguins. "You're not very nice, you know that?"
With that, Yuri cracks her knuckles and loosens her right arm up a little. "I'm gonna have to soften you up a bit!" Yuri then reels her arm back and then sends forth a blast of chi directly at Shenwoo. "Ko'ou Ken!"
COMBATSYS: Shenwoo stops Ko'ou Ken from Yuri with Tamaken.

Shenwoo 0/-------/--=====|=======\-------\0 Yuri
Patience is... not one of Shenwoo's strong points.
Punching people, now that's one of his strong points!
It's a close quarters fight, normaly a projectile attack at this range is sure tyo hit... but not this time! Shenwoo almost seems like he's able to -smell- it coming. Gritting his jaw and bearing his teeth, Shenwoo stands his ground. Bringing one hand around to the opposite shoulder, Shenwoo looses a vicious back hand directly into the path of Yuri's chi discharge, his hand seeming to glow with a aura of it's own as it meets the projectile... and knocks it awat!
he blast goes sailing off like a foul ball, streaking away into the frozen reaches where it will fizzle out. "Get that weak crap out of here!" he bellows angrily!
"If you don't fight me for real, I'll pound you so hard that they'll have to scrape you up with a rake! NOW GET SERIOUS AND FIGHT ME!" he is nearly shouting in her face, demanding that she cut out her tricks and get down to brass tacks.
"Weak crap? You're calling ME weak?!" Now Yuri's really mad. "Nobody calls me weak! NOBODY! KYOKUGEN KARATE IS THE STRONGEST STYLE IN THE WORLD! WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT JERK DAN HIBIKI WHO CLAIMS HIS STYLE IS THE STRONGEST!"
After Yuri's done ranting and blowing off steam, Yuri raises her fists to indicate she's ready to go at it again. "So let me show you a little something that I do to people like you!" Yuri rushes at Shenwoo and attempts to deliver her own unique form of the Dragon Punch, or a rising uppercut if you will. But when Yuri rushes you like that, you better be ready!

Shenwoo 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0 Yuri
FINALLY!
Shenwoo makes no attempt to evade Yuri, no attempt to guard that fist that comes streaking up towards his jaw. The only thing that Shenwoo does... is grin.
It splits across his scowling face, a wild, riotous grin. It cuts a broad gash across his features, seeming to klet show every single tooth that the man has in his mouth.
The fists lands hom and Shenwoo sees stars. His face rockets back, head snapping away at the end of his neck, his entire bodey swaying back like a reed in a strong breeze... But he doesn't fall. No, Shenwoo does not fall. All she needed was just that little bit of extra 'oomph' though.. she was close.
A giggle bubbles up out of him as he straightens, fixing her with a wicked gaze. Cocking his head to the side, Shenwoo drags a knuckle across his chin... that smile, that horrible, wolfish grin has only become larger.
"Good..."
He lunges forward, throwing himself at her once more, "Good, good, GOOD!" he howls even as penguins peck and pester him. He couldn't care, it's finally a fight! He's elated! "C'mon!" he challanges, firing off a swift, hard punch at her middle to further test her mettle, "Hit me again! HARDER! You're not weak right, that's not the best you can do, is it?!" he demands, jabbering giddily as he launches another punch, this one is sent hooking towards her cheek. "It's just getting fun! Don't you back out now!" he challanges, finishing his sudden rush by rearing backj, head rocking away at the end of his neck before he sends it forward, initiating a meeting of the minds in the only way he knows how. With a headbutt!

"I told you I am NOT weak!" Yuri screams loudly as Shenwoo continues to tease her, making her more and more likely to explode. Yuri watches Shenwoo come at her again, and try as he may, Yuri's not going to allow him to get her that easily. She deflects away every blow with little difficulty. But she doesn't stop there after she deflects the last blow away.
"You want me to hit you harder? YOU GOT IT!" Yuri screams as she thrusts forth while attempting to drive her foot into Shenwoo's stomach.
COMBATSYS: Shenwoo endures Yuri's Medium Kick.

Shenwoo 1/------=/=======|=======\=------\1 Yuri
'Oof!' Shenwoo looses a grunt as the foot drills into his middle. His rock hard abdominals take the blow well however, it's like kicking... a guy with ROCK HARD ABDOMINALS!
Shenwoo doesn't even stagger, the strike taken easily. "That's it?!" he demands, arms flung out at his sides, hands wide. "That's all you have?!" he's shouting at her again, "Pathetic!"
His right hand balls into a fist, knuckles protruding like four, little battering rams. "When I say hit me, I MEAN HIT ME!" he roars, cocking that fist far into the backfield, his entire body coiling back in preperation of loosing the blow. His heels grinds into the frozen ground, scuffing and scraping before it launches him forward across the very short distance between them.
With a shout of "ORA!!!" Shenwoo lets fly with a onsterous blow, it comes with a sudden shock of unleashed power, the penguins that had been further harassing his legs are sent scattering in all directions, little, tuxedo'd birds sent sprawling across the ice!
The worst of it is reserved for Yuri however.
COMBATSYS: Yuri endures Shenwoo's Zetsu! Gekiken.
*KNOCKED AWAY*

Shenwoo 0/-------/------=|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2 Yuri
Yuri is unable to do anything but watch helplessly as those penguins come flying at her. She tries to protect herself by covering up, but there's no use. She is pummeled mercilessly and finds herself flying across the ice, crumpling over as she tumbles several times. She then starts to get up, but her body says otherwise. However, Yuri does manage to find the ability to bring forth all of her energy to send forth the biggest blast of energy she can while yelling out, "HAOH SHO KO KEN!"
But once that's done, Yuri's going to be falling flat on her face. She's not humilated about losing though, but rather about all those poor penguins!
COMBATSYS: Yuri can no longer fight.

Heat radiates from the Mad Boxer as he draws his fist back, in the horrible chill of antarctica it finds the form of steam that lifts up off of his jacket and his body, drifting up from the melted ice beneath his feet. His shoulders rise and fall as the man sucks wind, each one drawn breaths the chill air into his lungs and looses it in a misty cloud.
His fight with Yuri might be over, but she left him one last going away present.
The blast of life force comes rolling in towards him like a freight train. Squaring his feet, Shenwoo readies. Once more a hand draws upto the opposite shoulder, open and waiting.
The Haoh Sho Ko Ken draws down on him, but just like the first, Shenwoo bats it away. A backhand swings out into the blast, his own inner strength challanging that of the fallen Yuri's and winning!
With a bark of "H-rAH!" the blast is knocked away.
With the fight done, crews from the outpost come rushing out in full arctic gear. The fighters will be gathered up and treated for exposure along with their injuries before being sent back to civilization.
