Description: A Scuffle outside of Dr. Hayashi's clinic leads Chiyoko into an alleyway trap, but it's her attackers that bite off more than they can chew. But were they just sacrificial lambs for a greater purpose?
The street clinic where Chiyoko guards and her father works is for the most part patched up and painted over, looking a bit better in some ways but certainly not all that aesthetically pleasing compared to your average building. Recently, most days have been peaceful after Chiyoko and Dr. Hayashi traveled about for the NDP tournament matches, encountering various people and even an offer of proper training. Chiyoko is currently leaning on the wall in the main room where others wait, apparently less people being present than usual due to the incident here some time ago and rumors of Dr. Hayashi, or Hisakawa as he is known to most, being an entirely different person and having been affiliated with Shadaloo in the past. Still, a good number of people without some other place to find treatment are still here giving Dr. Hayashi a good deal of business.
Mind, Prague isn't overflowing with crime...at least on the surface. There were some sketchier dealings, sure, but most were under the table and not totally overt. Which probably made a sketchy individual looking ready to keel over, all the trappings of a street dog over him, even more conspicuous as he stumbled through into the street clinic, rousing and scaring some of the folks in the waiting room. "Help me....help...where's the doctor, I'm..." Another lurch as the punk falls to his knees, exposing the dirty rag covering his stomach...which looks like it's soaking with blood.
Unfortunately, the punk doesn't step past the door frame, and that seems to be his undoing, as another punk stomps up right behind him, grabbing by the haphazardly shaven hair. "COME BACK'ERE!" he growls, an anguished cry from the bleeding punk. "HELP! HELP ME, GET THE DOCTAA, HEEAAAAaaaaa-" The punk even goes so far as to try and lock eyes with the albino-like girl leaning along the wall, reaching out toward him before he's yanked back out the door and onto the street.
Bursting out of the room comes Dr. Hayashi, apparently having just finished treating a patient as Chiyoko jumps up and quickly walks out ahead of him while looking fairly curious, perhaps even detached to a disturbing degree in regards to the apparent brawl that's going on outside. "...You should make sure it's safe out there." Dr. Hayashi says, "If there's still fighting, who knows what might spill over into here?" before Chiyoko nods and says, "Ok!" with a smile before cheerfully striding out into the street to see what the commotion is about.
The good doctor apparently is quite jaded as far as meaningless, possibly fatal brawls like this. It really depends how good of a trait that is or not, but apparently Chiyoko doesn't have that same compunction. Whether THAT'S a good trait or not, well that depends. As she steps out onto the street, there's a rather...conspicuous abscence of the two thugs. As a matter of fact, they seem to be nowhere to be found. Funny that, it couldn't have been more than a few seconds.
Not to say there's no trace of them at all...there's a lot more than trace in fact, as blood droplets can be found trailing away from the door step toward an alleyway about a half a block down, accompanied by incomplete bloody footprints. Perhaps from when the attacking thug stepped in the trail. But...it's definitely fishy. Way too clean of a trail....
Looking around at the relatively empty street, Chiyoko looks back in and says, "There's nobody there, I'm going to look around!" before Dr. Hayashi looks out the door with her and gets a contemplative look on his face saying, "Hrm... Fine. But be back quickly, who knows what was going on, with them disappearing like that." as Chiyoko runs out following the trail in an attempt to figure out the origin of the, "Fight".
Unfortunately for Chiyoko, not everything was what it seemed. Down the end of the alleyway, the thug that seemed like he was dying of a profusely bleeding stomach wound stands before the bald former project. "Hey doll. Guess I got your attention. Nice to have a good samaritan around here..." And from behind Chiyoko, should she step in further into the alley, comes the supposed 'attacker', grinning wide like a shark that just found a new meal. "Makes it easy to drag you around by yer nose. Looks like we earn our pay today, Dog," he calls to his grifting partner, each of them flicking out a switchblade and trying to trap the poor girl in the alley between them.
And from a nearby vantage point, a noxious looking man watched the goings on with a pair of binoculars, smirking to himself. Sometimes, it really was too easy.

Looking between the two people around her, Chiyoko says, "Hey... You aren't hurt!" with a somewhat surprised tone to her voice before she appears to cheer up as she says, "Oh well, this could be fun anyway!" and jumps towards the one in front of her, apparently named, "Dog" as she crouches down and then makes an upward kick in a single fluid motion.

For someone who was assumed a dead man, 'Dog' is a spry one, his grimy and ugly form managing to slip away from the snapping up-kick, pinning himself against the wall of the alleyway to avoid it. "Now now, doll, I'm glad for your concern, but...well, someone's wants to see you bleedin' instead, so..." Eager to earn his pay, Dog cuts out quick, trying to slash at Chiyoko straight across around chest-level.
Shark, after the pale girl's attack, is left out of range, but the toothy, taller punk doesn't seem to mind. He just flips his knife in his hand and levels it toward Chiyoko. "Less talk, Dog, more cut! We're getting paid to gut her, not date her!" The knife flies straight, not quite caring just who it hits if he misses his intended target.

As Dog tries to slash at her with a knife, Chiyoko brings up her arm to stop the slash before it hits her before spinning around and kicking the knife out of the air then punching the air towards Shark and saying, "Attacking me from behind?.." with a thoughtful tone, "Well, that means I'll have to look around more often!" as a ball of energy flies out from Chiyoko's fist towards Shark.

Dog hisses, the scruffy punk pulling his knife back after Chiyoko stalls the slash before it can bite into her in any significant way. "Look around all you wa-" he starts to quip. But watching her kick Shark's flicked knife out of the air shuts both punks up rather quickly, surprise crossing both of their faces. And for Shark, it's an opening left for that ball of energy to fly toward him. "AGH!" he screams before trying to flatten against the wall. He doesn't quite get there, the energy burning across his arm before his body fully turns. "THE HELL, this doll's a freak, she just threw...wait...wait wait wait. She's one'a them!"
Dog shakes out of his daze, renewing his attack as he tries to forcibly grab Chiyoko by the shoulders and toss her to the ground. "What are you talking about?!" Shark quickly responds, pointing at the bald fighter. "She's one'a those pro fighters! You saw that thing, look what it did to my arm?!" For all his talk and teeth, Shark doesn't seem terribly brave.

As Dog tries to grab Chiyoko by the shoulders, she braces her arms against his forearms to block his attempt before twisting down making two spinning kicks, then making a third upward kick at him saying, "You people really aren't good at fighting are you?"

Dog is suddenly baffled when his grab is twisted out of, brow furrowed and expression dumbfounded. "Buh?" It's obvious he's no trained fighter, leaving an opening like that, and apparently Chiyoko is trained enough to take advantage of it, the two spinning kicks blasting him back, then the upward thrid kick snapping him up, flying unti lhe's nearly kicked out of the other end of the alley. "Buhhhnn...."
Shark, for his credit doesn't run off. In fact, he seems to charge straight toward Chiyoko, arms stretched out to try and grab her...though his expression is less intimidating and more absolutely pants-wetting panicked. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" He tries to wrap around her from behind and pull her back...though he probably will end up falling down himself either way. And Dog...well, he's a bit dazed from that kick, still shaking the cobwebs out. "Uhnnnnhh...."

As Shark pulls Chiyoko back down with him, Chiyoko twists herself so that she falls on Shark before flipping over backwards, the shock of the fall having loosened his grip on her. She then looks over at Dog and says, "Ooh... Maybe you can still fight!" and punches the air once more as a ball of energy flies out towards him while she has a strangely happy demeanor in general.

Before Dog can get back up from the alleyway, the sudden ball of energy bursts out at him, the same that Shark got clipped by earlier. And this time, Dog eats it in a much more significant way, the Psychic Gust sending him flying clear into the street, a loud honking accompanying the poor sap's rise from the ground. "NNhhhh...."
And Shark...well, he's grounded, but he manages to get the knife he had dropped earlier (or rather, Chiyoko kicked out of the air earlier), gripping it while they're both still on the ground. "DIIIIIEE!" he shouts, in a way that sounds...more like was hitting puberty than actually being threatening.
And their mysterious watcher? He just laughs. And laughs. It's proving to be quite a show after all.

Chiyoko brushes aside the thrust from Shark before she moves into a spin from that and makes several kicks this time, moving right for a couple of kicks, then left, then finally launching an upper kick towards Shark saying, "Hehe, this is actually pretty fun!.. Are you holding back?"

Dog, getting the cobwebs clear from his head with the constant honking of the car (and even a couple bikes) helping to rouse him, finally stands. "Crazy bi-" he starts to snap...just in time to see the rapid kicks batter poor Shark as the fool was once again dumbfounded by the attempted thrust being blown aside. "....**** this ****," he growls before running off...right past a police bike patrol. He's not going far.
And Shark?...well, he's definitely in no place to fight back any further, the formerly toothy punk defanged after being battered so fiercely by the bodysuited fighter's rapid kicks. Sprawling in the alleyway, he tries to raise up his hands in surrender, his daze sending those limbs every which way. "I give...I give, please, don't hurt me anymore!! This ain't worth the money!" he sobs.
"Don't hurt you? Aw... You're no fun." Chiyoko says as she sits back then says, "Oh, right! I'm supposed to be at the clinic!" before she looks back as she runs off saying, "Thanks for the fight, it was kind of fun after all!" as she heads off.
Dog....well, he's on the run. With the bike patrol chasing him, he's forced to try and find a way to the rooftops to try and get some ground. That's another story though.
Shark...well, he finds himself staring at Chiyoko's back, trying to brandish the knife he had once again dropped...and shakily lowering it again. He may be a coward, but he preferred to see it as self preservation. Backing away, he simply lets Chiyoko walk back toward the clinic, waiting until she's out of the alleyway to run off the other way behind her.
And the watcher from afar...well, he just chuckles, putting away his binoculars. Time to meet his paid patsies and give them their due payment. Well...if they don't get caught first. Walking to the door of the room he was spying from, Vyle just...smiled. Looks like the info was good, and he got to see a good confirmation of her powers too. Sounds like a good day's reconnaisance. Not to mention the little present he had left on the clinic steps with the rest of the mail.
And the letter?....unmarked, plain white, stamped close with a golden wing emblem, with a simple message written in bold marker within waiting for Chiyoko: "BROKEN DOLLS CAN BE FIXED."
