Description: NDP Duel in the ancient city of Petra. Rising star Shun versus Quon. It's Shun who takes the victory today.
The Neo Development league set out to make things up to both the viewers who had came to see the debacle that was Quon vs. Jones fight. They had paid to see two fighters fight, not a young adult flipping his lid nor a middle aged fighter going through an extreme melt down. Sure it got high ratings but it wasn't what the NDP was about.
The execs in the NDP figured that the reason Adon chose that fight was the fact that Quon stated specifically in his interview in the New Challenger that he was looking forward to that fight. Without a fight having more personal stake behind it, they figured that this fight was less likely to be crashed.
When Quon arrives in the bowl of Ancient City of Petra's Theatre, he stands alone, waiting and stretch taking deep breathes and glancing around, almost paranoid about whether or not Adon will show up to ruin this fight as well.
While Shun's a relative newcomer to the NDP, she's already fought her way up to third place. She intends to make it even higher, because she has a boy to impress. Quon might not have been looking forward to a fight with Shun... Shun is hoping to score another victory here today, and that thought excites her. She looks over to her challenger for today once she enters the stage, and takes him in briefly.
The girl makes a polite bow, "May the best fighter win." She offers Quon in a soft voice, dropping into her fighting stance while she lets him drop into his. A brief pause and when both fighters are ready to fight, the signal to start is made.
Shun takes no moment of pause to act upon this, moving forwards til she is close to Quon, her left foot suddenly rising and snapping out, a quick axe kick aimed at Quon's neck. There is no reason to willingly allow Quon to gain the momentum.

Quon 0/-------/------=|=------\-------\0 Shun
The Chongquan stylist performs a bow and then drops into his own stance, loose and bouncy unlike most practitioners of his style though at this point, there's beginning to be a subtle change to the stance. His front foot is up on the toes and weight shifted slightly backwards showing the recent influence of Muay Thai.
When that axe kick comes, Quon shows himself to be fairly quick slipping to the side of the kick and suddenly turning to deliver a series of rapid fire snap kicks that seem to move so quickly that it's like he is kicking in three places at the same time. "Let's see what you've got."

Quon 0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0 Shun
Shun immediately blocks Quon's kicks with her own arms and legs, letting him strike her on her limbs rather than her body and overall reducing the damage inflicted by the martial artist she's going up against. She forms a cocky smirk in response to Quon's challenging statement, and responds with two simple words. "I will."
She doesn't wait one moment longer to follow it up with her own attack, driving her left heel into the ground as she kicks of with her right leg, forcing herself to rotate as she aims a roundhouse kick straight for Quon's legs. Aimed low for a roundhouse kick, it's no less likely to be effective, though pulled off without another word.

Quon 0/-------/-----==|===----\-------\0 Shun
Quon's foot goes back to the ground as he watches the Ansatsuken student going for a low kick. In the process of putting down the foot he's already moving to twist his body to the side to lean over to punch her backwards with both fists. The problem is, he doesn't have enough time to set his feet the way he needs for stability and as a result, the ex-Chinese fighter his kicked right off his feet and sent into a bit of a roll.
He rises to his feet, letting himself smile a bit at his slight misjudgement before shaking out his legs then retaking his stance once more.
"Heh. Got me."
And indeed, she got Quon. Shun smirks as she lands her blow and quickly moves to make her next move. She goes to attempt to make a quickly thrown punch connect with Quon's teeth. It's not like she's not putting in effort, but she doesn't feel like it's necessary to go the extra mile to make her attacks count quite yet. It's like she's trying to preserve her energy for now...

Quon 0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0 Shun
Quon, for his part is fairly quick to respond to the attack bringing up a hand to turn away the punch to the face with a relative calm. He still has a vested interest in keeping the fight up close and so he comes in, grabbing the gi at the neck and then performing a hip throw on Shun.

Quon 0/-------/-======|===----\-------\0 Shun
Sure, Quon manages to grab Shun's gi, but as he tries to throw her, Shun's right fist glows with burning chi, and she jumps upwards, letting the the gi cut into her shoulder even as she cries out her attack's name loudly.
"GIJI SHORYUKEN!"
And as she speaks, her burning fist connects with Quon's chin, most likely hurting him far more than the gi pressing down into her shoulder hit her. As a whole, she has reason to be satisfied, and she waits for a brief moment to watch what Quon's next move is likely to be.
The flaming punch's impact is jarring. The Chongquan fighter's chin is lifted along with the rest of the body as the two fighters are elevated by Shun's rising punch. Quon's body lands with a dull thud and he slowly brings himself back up to his feet.
"Well... That's why that style seemed familiar."
The ex-Chinese fighter takes a moment to shake the cobwebs out of his head and then takes his stance once more. He takes a deep breath and then draws in the ambient chi within the area forming it into a ball of rippling of transparent chi and shoving it towards the body of the Ansatsuken fighter.

Quon 0/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Shun
Unfortunately, this time Shun's reflexes aren't quick enough to allow her to get out of the way, and the strike she suffers is one that takes her breath away instantly. "Oh, so you know this style?" She asks while gasping for breath. It certainly seems like Quon's strike slowed her down enough to force her to take a moment to catch her breath, so to speak. "It's better than yours." She taunts Quon self-assuredly...
Might not have been the best of decisions to make that taunt...
COMBATSYS: Shun gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////// ]
Quon 0/-------/=======|====---\-------\0 Shun
"Sorry, to disappoint you. I'm not in this to participate in a dick measuring contest." It's incredible how easy Quon is able to let Shun's taunts roll off his back. Then again, compared to Adon, Shun is a rank amateur when it comes to aggravating people. She probably doesn't know what to say to piss him off and he's not about to give her that ammunition, especially after how he got worked by Adon until he calmed himself down.
He draws back his hands letting himself go back into that stance and then he moves in leading in with a quick knee to close the distance and then following up with a pair of quick punches to the body and a final one to the chin.

Quon 1/------=/=======|=====--\-------\0 Shun
In between the strikes made by Quon, Shun smiles. Rather than let him strike her at full force, she moves before the final kick to her chin, jumping up and launching a rising uppercut...
"SHOUKEN!"
... this one doesn't have a lick of Chi to it, making it far less lethal than the real deal, but it's still good enough to prevent Quon from dealing as much damage as he had wanted to. Her eyes gleam and she answers, "Neither am I."
"I'm here to prove to a boy back home that he should be paying attention to me."
A smile. That usually is never a good thing. Immediately Quon sees why that smile was a bad thing for him. He takes the fist to the now tender jaw and sent flying away yet again. He slowly rises back to his feet.
"Then why bother with the taunts? Let your fighting speak for itself. It reminds me way too much of a certain insecure loser who saw fit interrupt my last match."
The battered Chongquan fighter shakily gets back into his stance. "All I'm interested in is putting on a good show." He then moves in before performing a roundhouse to Shun's leg and then following it up with a powerful side kick to the stomach.

Quon 1/-----==/=======|=======\-------\0 Shun
This time, Shun is hit. Square in leg and stomach. She falls a bit back and then looks at Quon. "Fine, let's put up a good show." She answers after having recovered from those blows, and as such she moves rapidly. With a quick movement, a single fist flies to Quon's nose, apparently she's decided that Quon's head is an easy target. The strike is hard to evade, quick as it moves...
COMBATSYS: Quon just-defends Shun's Quick Punch!
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////// ]
Quon 1/-----==/=======|=======\-------\0 Shun
Quon's head is targeted once more and this time he's prepared for it slipping to the outside of her punch while performing a slight push on the arm so he has a bit more breathing space to work with. His breath becomes easier and he puts himself in position for a counter assault.
He leaps into the air and descends downwards with one foot extended. If he can connect, he will proceed to repeatedly stomp on the head of Shun, over and over, alternating between feet before shoving her away as he flipped off of her. It was a risky proposition, especially against a practitioner of Ansatsuken but if it paid off, it would pay off big from both a performance standpoint and increasing his likelihood of grabbing victory.
COMBATSYS: Shun endures Quon's Breaking the Shell.

Quon 0/-------/------=|=======\-------\1 Shun
Shun lets it all happen. She seriously lets the entire flow of strikes connect to her head, and she smiles. Now, Quon should know something is wrong when she smiles, especially right when she's smiling like this, it's more of a grin than a smile.. When Quon flips off of her, that is when Shun makes her move, and she isn't going easy on Quon this time around, she gathers a lot of blue-ish white chi in between her hands.
"HAAAAAA-"
"DOOOUUU-"
"KEEEEEN!"
And while Quon is still in midair, Shun throws the massive blast of burning chi right at him, hoping to strike him in mid-air when he can't properly defend himself against this assault.

Quon 0/-------/--=====|-------\-------\0 Shun
As Quon is descending from his attack, he wears a bit of a oh crap look on his face. Of all the things he expected, especially from what he had seen from Ansatsuken users in video footage, that was the last thing he was expecting to see her do. The energy gathers and Quon tries to desperately change the profile of his body so that the attack misses him. But twist as Quon might, he doesn't get himself out of the way.
Quon's body gets blasted backwards and is left in a heap on the ground. "Ugh..." He then slowly brings himself up back to his feet wobbling as he gets closer to to Shun. When he's up close, he performs that same series of snap kicks that he performed earlier in the fight but then it gets faster. Three feet become five. Then he switches legs, five feet become seven and then his balance falters and he throws out a final haymaker before falling down to the ground.
COMBATSYS: Quon can no longer fight.

Quon's strikes are blocked one by one, Shun preventing them from connecting with her body, rather making them strike her arms and legs. First, she looks over to the cameras and blows a kiss at them. The she turns towards the fallen Quon and offers him a hand to get up. "Thanks for the good fight." She offers him, smiling genuinely. Not in an 'you done goofed up' wau, but in a genuine 'I enjoyed the fight' kind of smile.
"Perhaps we'll face eachother another time."
