Description: Zach and Intan throw down in the NDP. This goes down pretty much how one familar with the two fighters would expect: Messily. (Draw Match)
It's time to battle once again. Intan is ready to rock and roll. She has dressed up a little to match the site, the train station, and is wearing a 'cute' output modelled after a train machinist's uniform. The train isn't riding, but it is at the center of the area marked as the site of the battle, and with it being unloaded it could very well make for terrain to be used during the battle. Near the train some cargo is standing, clearly usable as weapons if either of the combatants are so inclined. As for Intan? She's waiting for her opponent to arrive!
COMBATSYS: Intan has started a fight here.

Intan 0/-------/-------|
Zach steps off of the train, wearing casual clothes plus shades and a ball cap. He looks around, taking in the sights. "Fin del Mundo..." he muses. "End of the world, huh?" The psion pulls off the sunglasses and regards the station. "Sounds about right." Zach then takes in the make-shift 'arena'. Plenty of local attractions, lots of property. 'Damn,' he thinks, 'They're STILL hoping for property damage? Oh well. They'll learn at SOME point.'
Zach takes off the ballcap, tucking the sunglasses in it before handing the accessories off to an on-site attendant. He regards Intan with a curious look, taking in the outfit and (perhaps more importantly) the weapons. The look on Zach's face changes a bit, as he tries to read more than what his eyes are seeing. The young woman is clearly keyed up for the fight. Zach shrugs as he settles into an orthodox boxing stance, nodding to the referee to signal the start of the match.
"Ready when you are," Zach says politely.
COMBATSYS: Zach has joined the fight here.

Zach 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Intan
Intan doesn't wait. When the match is started and Zach says he's ready, Intan rushes towards her designated opponent for today. "Cool. You're not bad looking, by the way." She compliments as she tries to bring one of her Krisses into the man's gut. Drawing the blade back she further comments, "I do hope you're not feeling too uncomfortable with fighting a girl. Some men don't seem to be able to win because they try to stick to gentlemenly codes of behavior."
COMBATSYS: Intan successfully hits Zach with Serrated Stab.
- Power hit! -

Zach 0/-------/------=|=------\-------\0 Intan
Zach takes a step back, helping Intan withdraw the blade from his midriff. Blood starts flowing, some of it coming out of him. That gets a frown as the psychic considers his move. She seems fairly earnest, at this point. The compliment is nice enough, even if it's coming from a girl that's a bit too young for his liking.
"Oh," Zach drawls, "I don't think you'll have to worry about /that/." Zach steps in quickly, throwing out a swift jab sheathed in golden energy. If the young lady is paying attention, the stomach wound is already starting to close up a bit.
COMBATSYS: Intan just-defends Zach's Jab Punch!
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////////////]
Zach 0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0 Intan
Intan blocks the punch in such a way that it does exactly nothing, the energy dissipating and fueling her reserves. "Really? Your actions disagree with your words." The teen answers in response to that. "That didn't even hurt a bit." And she moves towards Zach again, lashing out with the other blade, aiming for the midriff in a violently ruthless strike. "If you don't want to fight me, you could just give up." Intan winks.
COMBATSYS: Zach dodges Intan's Brutal Strike.

Zach 0/-------/-----==|-------\-------\0 Intan
Zach sways to the left, allowing the blade to cut only his shirt. He has a faint grin on his face. "Guy can't warm up a bit," he says glibly. Energy absorbtion? That's a new one by him. Zach doesn't take very long before stepping back in, right fist at the ready as he brings up more energy.
"I mean, if I have compunctions about something like that at THIS point," Zach says as he fires off a right cross, "I'm definitely in the wrong line of work."
COMBATSYS: Intan blocks Zach's Medium Punch.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////////// ]
Zach 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Intan
Intan once again blocks Zach strike, but she doesn't seem to be absorbing the energy this time. Unfortunate for her, probably good for Zach. "Well yeah. That would probably be true." She agrees, rushing forwards once more to lash out with both of her Krisses at once, in a nice cross pattern. "Still, some people tend to stick in the wrong line of work because they think they're any good."
COMBATSYS: Zach dodges Intan's Serrated Stab.

Zach 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Intan
Zach slips the dual-stabs by stepping in and to the young lady's right. "Well," he says, "I'm not terribly worried on that account either." He tries something a bit risky at this point, deciding to go for a move that will be a bit more decisive that his earlier strikes.
Zach plants his feet, twisting at the hips as he fires off a body blow augmented by that oddly amber energy he seems to bring with every strike. This, however, is not just a punch aimed at Intan's midsection. He is going for the young lady's liver, attempting to attack her stamina in addition to simply striking her.
COMBATSYS: Zach successfully hits Intan with Body Blow.

Zach 0/-------/----===|======-\-------\0 Intan
%Hit right in the midsection, Intan almost doubles over and takes a few steps back. "Nice blow." She compliments weakly as she distances herself and creates the opportunity for a quick breather. "I'm not going down this easy, though." And her eyes start to glow with a kind of passion, like only someone who loves to fight can have.
COMBATSYS: Intan gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////// ]
Zach 0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0 Intan
Zach doesn't allow Intan TOO much of a chance, darting in and ducking to the young lady's right side again. He's following his coach's advice: Master the left side, conquer the world. It's as true in fighting as it is in boxing, really.
"Oh, I'd be disappointed if you did," he says with complete honesty; it'd mean he read this young woman wrong. Her desire to /fight/ is palpable. Well, he wouldn't want to discourage that, but she might want to check some of her ego at the door. Zach springs, launching an uppercut from that crouch that is aimed squarely at Intan's jaw. Regardless of whether the punch actually connects, Zach will already be on the move.
COMBATSYS: Zach successfully hits Intan with Gazelle Punch.

Zach 0/-------/---====|=======\=------\1 Intan
Really, this isn't going too well for Intan all of a sudden. And it started so well, too. Unfortunate, but unavoidable it seems. Even so, Intan makes a quick backflip to increase the distance. She's hellbent on winning this, even if Zach seems like he's got the upper hand for the moment. For now though, having been fairly ineffectual in her offensives, she's decided to take as much time as she can to actually study Zach for any weaknesses.
COMBATSYS: Intan focuses on her next action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Zach 0/-------/---====|=======\=------\1 Intan
Zach's stance is fundamentally sound. He's clearly put some work into the sweet science. Zach considers, momentarily, taking a moment to get charged up. He rejects that notion almost as quickly. He blitzes in quickly, planting his feet once more as he shifts his weight to his back leg.
Energy sheathes him once more as he whips his upper body forward in a brutally quick arc, attempting to slam his forehead against Intan's noggin with crushing force!
COMBATSYS: Intan dodges Zach's Headbutt.

Zach 0/-------/---====|=======\=------\1 Intan
Finally, Intan manages to avoid being hit by the incoming attack, and she smirks. "Oh, sweetie. I've only barely gotten started." And that much said, she lashes out with her left Kris. "I hope you can handle getting a little hurt." Then the right, "Because I don't intend to go easy on you." And as she speaks, she /keeps/ /using/ /those/ weapons to land blow after blow. It's not the kind of assault you use when going easy on someone, indeed!
COMBATSYS: Zach fails to interrupt Relentless Assault from Intan with Stopping Jab.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Zach 0/-------/-======|=------\-------\0 Intan
Zach slides his right foot back, ready to take Intan's charge. He's scowling slightly; he's not entirely sure he likes the young lady's attitude. Reminds him a bit too much of Yuri Sakazaki, for starters. She could use a reality check.
Zach brings his left hand to the ready, and snaps out a quick jab aimed at nothing more than making Intan check her charge. It goes over her head as she leans in to start her barrage of slashes. Zach has little option but to prepare another thin sheet of Soul Power to cover his body. It doesn't stop the pain, which is considerable, but it is enough to keep those sharp blades from opening his skin.
As Zach is failing to strike her during her assault, Intan's eyes gleam with the passion of battle, and she delights in seeing her opponent being forced to take the full brunt of her blows. But that doesn't mean she's done yet, far from done in fact. After all, Zach is still standing. "Seems like we're evening things out a little now." She comments as she follows up her assault with a kick stab, aiming for Zach's gut, it might just hurt a little. "Let's not give you any openings anymore, sound good?"
COMBATSYS: Intan successfully hits Zach with Random Strike.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Zach 0/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0 Intan
Zach grunts as Intan opens up that gut wound again. She clearly enjoys the fight, but it also seems like she only has fun when she has the advantage. Zach frowns as he resets his stance. "I wouldn't be too sure about that," Zach says with a trace of wry amusement."
That odd energy that Zach has been using throughout the fight covers him once more. However, unlike the previous manifestations, this is far more intense, far brighter than the protective or enhancing sheathes he had been employing before.
COMBATSYS: Zach gathers his will.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Zach 1/---====/=======|==-----\-------\0 Intan
This might not be good, Intan can't tell what is really going on but she knows for sure she doesn't trust it. That means that she is going to be acting carefully, "You have to rely on weird tricks to win, huh?" She taunts Zach despite knowing better, "I wonder what that says about you as a fighter." Nothing good in all likelyhood. One of her blades lashes out, it's just a jab really, nothing to be too concerned about.
COMBATSYS: Zach blocks Intan's Weapon Jab.

Zach 1/--=====/=======|==-----\-------\0 Intan
"Oh. This is nothing wierd," Zach supplies as he brings an arm up to parry the strike. A line of angry red flesh gives Intan an indication that the blow was at least a little effective. "Nor is it a trick, really." Zach shifts his weight, bringing his right hand in close to his torso while giving his wrist an odd-looking twist. Golden energy wraps around, and starts to gently spin in the direction of the twisting motion. "Energy manipulation is something of a prerequisite in fighting, even it isn't as... blatent as what I do."
There is nothing subtle about what Zach does next. Even with the slightly advanced technique of adding the corkscrew, the right straight Zach throws is practically ripped out of the textbook. He steps off his right foot, his hips and shoulder twisting to face Intan as he fires the right fist at Intan's torso. The corkscrew adds a bit of piercing force. The twisting, spinning mass of Soul Power is more like a drill in its application.
COMBATSYS: Zach successfully hits Intan with Heartbreak Shot.

Zach 0/-------/----===|=======\-------\1 Intan
This was unfortunate to say the least. Intan was not only hit, she was hit /hard./ Staggering back, she knew she had to retaliate before she fell over. And as such, this is exactly what she tries. With blow after blow of sharp steel, Intan just tries to hurt Zach. Hurt him as much as she can before it's all over. Before she will fall unconscious. Because she knows she won't be standing for long. Most likely anyway!
COMBATSYS: Intan can no longer fight.

Zach frowns. Intan did not fly quite as far as he thought she would. 'No problem,' he thinks, 'The next punch oughta-'
Intan is in Zach's face far quicker than he would have given her credit for, given the level of abuse he'd just heaped on her. Knives rain in from every direction, slamming into him. It is about all he can do to keep himself from bleeding out all over the place.
When it is done, he simply slumps over. The ten count goes quickly, and just before the medics get out to recover both of them, Zach is already on his feet. He shambles off to recover his hat and sunglasses, telling the attendant one thing.
"When she wakes up," he says hoarsely, "Tell her I want a rematch." Zach wobbles a bit as he heads to the bathroom to change into clean, undamaged clothes. It is taking a severe amount of energy to bring this off, but it'll be worth it. He had cleared his objective for this fight: No ranged combat. Winning would have made it sweeter, though.
