Description: Cammy meets up with Guile for the promised rematch, and he was even kind enough to give her the home turf advantage.
A crowd has gathered behind the Radcliffe Camera, the part of the lawn without the path leading directly to the building. College kids of mostly European descent are comingling in a large circle, with some shouting, some conversing quietly amongst themselves, and a large portion of them late to class. Far be it for them to complain, several older academics have joined the crowd as well. The furthest towards the center is Guile, who stands about six feet into the open grassy area, speaking with some kids who have come.
A text message had been sent to Cammy White, ascertaining her availability and then inviting her for a rematch at this very spot, which really is a very pleasant place for a fight except for the chill. The weather is not to sunny, with cloud cover leaving this area in diffuse light which isn't too harsh on the eyes. The clouds, happily enough, are not threatening rain today.
Cammy has barely returned to the UK after dealing with Adon finally, when she's getting message from Guile. How odd. But then she did promise him a rematch one day soon, so she turns up on time, eventually walking around the corner of the building and heading over to Guile, noting the crowd with a raised eyebrow. She's in her full Delta Red regalia, of course, but she reaches up and tugs the beret off, holding it in her hand.
She waits for a moment in the conversation he's having with the faculty before interjecting, when she has chance. "Good morning, Captain. A strange choice of venue, I must admit.". And there's a faint blush when she sees all the students and university dons in the crowd, many of whom are now staring at her, and probably a few even cheering and shouting support. She is the home team after all. "...I didn't realise you were going to make such a big thing of it, though I suppose it's somewhat traditional." she says, fidgeting a bit.
Guile turns from the faculty member he is speaking to when he realizes Cammy has arrived. Explains all the extra cheering. He shoots her a quick, two-fingered salute and then takes a few steps towards her, "Hello, Cammy." He then smiles, looking up towards the building and then shaking his head, "I was here on business actually, which was ultimately a bust. Turns out the Radcliffe Camera is not a camera at all, thus of no value whatsoever. Speaking of, I need to talk to you about something later when there's no ears around."
He gestures towards the open area, glancing again towards the crowd and grunting, "Yeah... Sorry about them. I asked if it was ok to fight out back here. The director, who really requires a solid punch in the face, said that since we aren't students, we wouldn't get expelled from school but we might be asked to leave later."
He rolls his eyes, shaking his head, "British humor..."
"Next thing I know, people are lining up to see who I'm going to fight," Guile adds a moment later.
Cammy hmms, not sure she believes this. "...I think you are pulling my leg." she decides after a moment, hands sliding down to her hips. "Of course it isn't a camera, you knew it was a building, right?". Tilting her head, she adds, "And you messaged me a while ago now, so I think it was a bit more planned than you allude.".
"Not that I mind, of course." she adds with a shrug and a smile. "I did come here, after all. And sure, we can talk after, I think for the first time in a long time all my immediate work is done, though I do have some personal matters to attend to at some point soonish. I'm sure that won't take up all my time though by any means.".
Guile peers at Cammy for a moment, and then gestures back over his shoulder towards the building, "Look at that thing, Cammy. It's huge. What if it was a camera? It could take pictures of anything. Intel motherload." His lips curl upward in a shadow of a smirk before he adds matter-of-factly, "Besides, I wouldn't try to pull your leg. Last time I did, I got kicked in the face. The crowd wasn't planned though, but they seem pretty adamant about staying. I think someone started sellin' tickets." He glances suspiciously towards the crowd, "Probably one of the professors."
He looks back towards Cammy and nods his head, "Excellent. There's been some activity in Europe that I've been huntin' down solo. I'd like your input on it. But that's for later... We got a matter to settle in regards to our last sparrin' match. You up for it?"
"Funny, I didn't think Oxford was that entrepreneurial... I imagine if you decided to do this in London there'd be someone organising a full on stadium or something looking to make a bit of cash.". She shakes her head, with some amusement. "So many roguish sorts there. And of course. Later. Try not to knock me out or it might be a lot later..." she smiles.
And as that sounds like a challenge, she nods, and puts her beret back on her head again, taking a moment to adjust it. After all, headwear is likely to get knocked off in a street fight unless it's on pretty firmly. "Of course, Captain. Good luck.". There's a slight pause, and then she adds, "After you.", as she backs away from him slowly, eyes becoming watchful.
Raising his hands in a shrug, Guile replies as if he's at his wits end, "I don't know. Maybe our would-be promoter is from London. The... What's it called? Dodgy end?"
He settles back into his stance, crouching low over his fists as he eyeballs Cammy from over his knuckles with a contemplative expression on his face. Finally, he seems to decide on something. He move towards Cammy with a quick hop and feints a jab with his left hand. He back foot snaps out before the jab connects, however, revealing the actual attack to be a low kick towards her thigh.

"East end probably but close enough... Actually I think its the south thats the dodgy part these days." Cammy tells him, waiting for his first move. And there it is, a jab, not too surprising to start with one of those - she tenses up, ready to spring to one side, but then Guile's foot cannons into one muscly thigh and she ends up falling heavily on the ground.
Momentarily stunned, she takes a moment to roll away. "Not a good start..." she mutters, as she gets back up again, rubbing her thigh ruefully.
She hops back forwards again to close the distance, and lifts one boot up before kicking up at his upper body powerfully, her whole body snapping like a whip as she uses him to power off backwards away from him again to get clear - assuming she hits him of course.

Recovering as the attack hits, Guile takes two steps away from Cammy to respond, "It's not the quality of the start that makes for a good fight, but how ya finish." When she returns to her feet, Guile drops back down into his stance. When she closes the distance, Guile brings his arms up to block away the assault, but she finds the chinks in his armor and piles into his chest. He is blown back a few steps even as she sails away. He takes a breath, looking towards Cammy and making a judgement call...
While she is in midair, he runs towards her, waiting for her to touch ground. As soon as her boots impact into the lush green grass of the field, Guile is already leaping airbound. He extends his left knee and pushes back with his arms to expand his chest and give the attack more power.

Cammy lands gracefully on the lawn some distance away but is surprised to see Guile already bearing down on her at top speed. She hurriedly tries to backflip away, but while she's on her hands Guile's knee clips her on the back of one leg. The backflip turns into a backwards roll, but she does get back to her feet promptly.
Her eyes have glazed over a bit by now, running mostly on instinct, as she hops back forward again. She twirls in mid air, and then lands next to him, one fist jutting out aimed at his solar plexus, with a lot of power behind it.

Guile grunts as his knee glances off Cammy, and he almost bites it face first into the ground due to the unexpected angle off the particularly muscled thigh. He regains his feet, bringing his flailing arms up just in time to turn, see Cammy, and take one straight in the solar plexus. He gasps for air for a moment and then unleashes a long grunt that keeps his air within his lungs. He angles himself towards Cammy, then leaps past her. He turns on a dime, his arms attempting to encircle her at the waist. Should she not get out of the way in time, he will pop his hips and fall backwards into a highly angled dragon suplex.

Guile 1/------=/=======|=======\-------\0 Cammy
Cammy punches Guile alright - but if anything it seems to hurt her hand on his rocklike muscles! She's busy looking at her hand when suddenly he jumps on her. She immediately starts wriggling around, being good at getting out of this sort of thing, but he's actually got her good and her slippery leotard doesn't even help this time - she gets smashed into the lawn with bonecrunching force. Ouch.
She rolls, or flops, onto her back after a moment, and then wearily gets to her feet. "Nice, those are hard to pull off." she notes, having something like that herself - and that hardly ever works on someone who knows what they are doing either.
But thats not the only throw in the toolbox that she has! and this old favourite usually works a treat. She goes into a handstand right in front of him suddenly, and tries to wrap legs around his neck - and if she gets him, he promptly gets hauled into the lawn himself in revenge by camo painted thighs.

Taking a step back as he pushes himself back to his feet after the dragon suplex, Guile gives Cammy enough room to retake her feet. He seems a bit confused and when she comments to the difficulty of the move, it is all Guile can do to nod stupidly and reply, "Shocked it worked."
If revenge is, indeed, a dish that is best served cold, England and Cammy White provide. He can't get his hands up in time stop Cammy's thighs from wrapping around him, so he simply endures begin spiked into the ground to leave a flattop-shaped indentation in the grass that sends the groundskeeper to find his shotgun. He wriggles free on the ground, shooting back up to his legs with a shake of his neck to clear the remaining pain. He grunts and then reacquires his target in the form of Cammy
He launches himself towards hair, raining down a series of punches, kicks, albows and knees which culminate in a spinning backfist attempting to take her by the chin, as well as possibly set her up for something soon.

Cammy seems to be a bit more on a roll now, as she's already scrambling to her feet post-frankensteiner, knowing Guile will be coming at her again. She twists and wriggles and turns, turning side on so she's a harder target - punches and kicks either missing or harmlessly sliding over a hip or a leg or a shoulder.
All throughout she's backing away until she gets a reasonable distance away, when she pauses, watching him warily, having built up a bit of a sweat with all this effort. Time for a slight breather...

Guile finds nothing but air in his punches and kicks towards Cammy as the nimble Delta Red agent makes him seem slow and ungainly. The spinning backfist catches nothing but air as she jumps away and lands some distance away much to Guile's chargin. He peers towards her curiously, shrugging his shoulders for a moment. He shakes his head feintly.
As he pulls his arms back, it is no longer a question as to what Guile was thinking when he shook his head. No time for a breather, Cammy White. He whips his arms together, focusing his chi as his arms break the speed of sound. Sonic energy coelesces down his arm and them spins together centrifugally as it propels itself towards Cammy's point of rest.
"SONIC BOOM!"

Cammy tries to leap out of the way, expecting this somewhat, but while she's fast, she's not faster than the speed of sound! And she gets blown backwards away from him across the lawn, rolling to her feet again after a moment. "Ouch... wish I could do something like that." she mutters, feeling rather boomed out.
Oh, decisions, what to do. Clearly she can't keep away from Guile, so she runs at him again. Close quarter combat is her thing after all, in theory. She goes to grab at his hand and then haul him over one hip, unceremoniously but efficiently dumping him onto the ground.

Grinning as his Sonic Boom hits, the expression is soon wiped off Guile's face as Cammy grabs him by the arm for a hiptoss. He turns as he's thrown, trying something he has seen on TV once by taking Cammy over in an arm drag using the arm that's grabbing him as leverage. Except he slips and is subsequantly deposited on the ground in a heap.
He rolls away from Cammy, pushing himself back up to his feet and taking a moment to fix his flattop.
Cammy is indeed difficult to grab hold of, as Guile soon discovers. And throws are something of a specialty. Has anybody ever seen her throw a punch???
Perhaps not a punch but she certainly can kick. "You're doing much better this time around, Captain!" she declares. "You have adjusted your style a little I think.". And with that she hops forward once more, lifting up one boot, to kick out at his face once more even as he's fixing up his hair. "Braids need much less maintenance when you've got them done." she tells him as the boot lashes out. Not that Guile would look good in pigtails mind.

Smiling, Guile nods his head, "I did! I learned alot about you in our last fight, Cammy." When she goes on the attack, Guile begins to duck as Cammy's leg comes shooting in unexpectedly, attempting to bring his hands up to block. Unable to do so in time, Cammy catches the Captain right across the throat with a solid kick. Guile reels back, reaching up to clutch his throat. He turns away for the briefest moment before he realizes they're in a fight. He turns back quickly towards Cammy, leaping backwards and yet moving towards her with sonic energy crashing across his foot in waves. He turns, delivering another flash kick, and then one final solid flash kick to end all flashkicks. His mouth moves to shout the name of the attack:
"..."
Only he is unable to articulate the sentence. He glares accusingly at Cammy as he backs up and falls to a knee, clutching his throat and coughing. He maintains his guard however, at least showing Cammy that he feels he is alright enough to continue the fight even from the ground.

"Er...". Cammy looks mortified when she realises she just kicked him, hard, in the /throat/. It's not like they she typically fights by the queensbury rules or anything, but some things just aren't cricket: she has noticed this a few times in the past - sometimes she just doesn't think. Or she just... accidentally hurts people. Really badly. Accidentally. She could have swore she was aiming for his chin, not his throat!
She takes a half step towards him as he goes down, clutching his throat. "Oh my god... Are you alright, sir? I think I missed!" she asks, worried that she might have seriously messed him up.
Which in itself is a little foolish, as Guile is a fighter after all, and a kick in the throat isn't going to stop someone like /him/. Well, not just one anyway. So only she is surprised (slightly) when Guile rises up, kicking, kicking hard, with chi laced kicks. The ex-doll promptly raises both arms and goes low to the ground, bracing hard, as his boots batter against her red gauntlets.
But when all is done, she's still standing, her boots dug into the turf of the lawn somewhat, brown mud streaks sure to piss off the gardener when he sees the damage she's done. Well, the fights still on apparently, and she's already calculating when he's going to leave himself open - seeing the opportunity, she launches herself at him, boots first! There is a fusillade of kicks as she flips onto her hands, with a final HUGE kick at his chin. (And hopefully not his throat this time). If that hits and Guile goes flying, she leaps up after him, to grab him and bring him to earth, with a final strangle. A new technique learned from Delta Red no less!

When she comes at him again, Guile nods slightly. Good, she recognized his inability to speak at the moment is not an inability to fight. He brings his arms up to help him better endure the kicks that are coming, only he is quickly overwhelmed by them. He impacts into the ground with a thud and a 'uggghhh'.
When the dust settles, Guile is back on his feet again only he doesn't look so present. He's in that place right before blacking out where a fighter takes his last stand. He pulls his arms back on reflex, and the slams them together.
"SONIC HURRICANE!"
Then promptly crumbles to the ground.

Cammy cartwheels off of Guile after she strangles him, but as she lands she realises there is a huge blast of energy coming at her yet again. She lifts up her arms and goes low again, but this time she's not quite quick enough, and despite her bracing, gets bowled over, her guard broken.
And she's already been quite bruised, the fragile Doll isn't all that tough when she actually gets hit - and she was getting hit quite a lot. So she doesn't actually get up at all, lying there on the grass, eyes closed, braids spread out around her, with her limbs at rather odd angles, looking like a broken bird. Or doll.
COMBATSYS: Cammy takes no action.
COMBATSYS: Cammy can no longer fight.
Guile is the first down, and he ends up being the first one back to his feet to the cheers of screaming fight fans. In spite of the DKO, it turned out to be a heck of a fight. He makes his way first to his knees, crawling slowly over towards where Cammy is. He puts one foot beneath him, and then pushes up to his feet with a groan. He's definately going to feel this in the morning. He leans over, looking towards Cammy before he calls out, "Cammy. Cammy! You ok?"
Cammy twitches a bit, and then her eyes open, just before she sits up abruptly. "I wish I could do those chi things. That really hurts." she mumbles, still rather stunned. Then she remembers the final few moments of the action. "Sorry about that throat kick." she adds. "It's just kind of automatic, I saw you left your guard open a bit there, and it's a sort of instinctive thing. Taking advantage of those things. In the heat of the moment.".
Shaking his head to clear out the cobwebs, Guile's eyes roll to the back of his head for a moment. He looks back down to Cammy, an eyebrow raised, "You punch harder than Ryu throws fireballs, don't worry..." He offers a hand, "And don't worry about the throat kick. Just took me by surprise is all. Accidents happen in training. Let me by the post-fight libation."
Cammy takes the offered hand, and painfully gets back to her feet. She has quite a few bruises growing, mostly visibly as her clothes don't cover up that much - at least not her thighs, which for whatever reason seemed to be taking most of the hits. She looks down at herself ruefully. "And to think I got on a train just to get kicked about." she observes. "At least it's a friend doing the kicking." she smiles. "Okay, post fight libations are the tradition I guess.".
When he's sure Cammy has her feet steady under her, Guile turns around and takes a look at the people gathered. He rolls his eyes and shakes his head before making shooing gestures with his hand, "Alright now. C'mon, get back to class. You too, Professor." He reaches the edge of the crowd and starts hollaring, "Make way. Ugly American coming through. Nothing to see here." He turns for a moment, lifting a hand and gesturing Cammy to come along.
