SNF 2012.04 - SNF: "Shadow Ops"

Description: Momoko is the Hunted, and the dark bounty hunters Munin and Vyle both are after the bounty placed on her head in this made-for-TV episode of SNF...but the hunted doesn't go down easy, and just who's hunting who becomes horribly muddled. Just who is really fighting who here? (Winner: Vyle)



The docks district. A wretched hive of scum and villainy, as the location of choice for shady deals more oft than not. Other uses for the place involve the movement of goods highly frowned upon discreetly, and the cause of many disappearances of people often in debt of some kind.

Tonight, the events lean more towards the latter, though not quite, since the target won't disappear, but be brought in for a bounty! As Momoko makes her way through the docks, she is shadowed by a shadow. Eyes watch her from the shadows, their owner unseen as of yet, and waiting for her time to strike. Munin doesn't care WHY Momoko is wanted by the authorities, nor cares. She gets paid, and thats enough for her.

Girls gotta eat, after all!

Throughout the docks, the SNF folks have placed hidden cameras to catch the match as it occurs, with the film crew in a secure control center to edit and monitor things so as not to disturb the illusion of a potential dramatic takedown!

This is not exactly a new experience for the rudo known as Vyle...but it's not exactly a common one either. He was never the kind of crossover athlete that got casted in shows or guest appearances for his crossover appeal, no. But...hey, it's SNF. Crazy wacky things happen in the fights even without the presence of a script outline. And the scenario was definitely of interest!

So it should be no surprise that Vyle cherished the attempt to go full hitman, even going so far to wear a deep, dark purple suit and dark green tie, forgoing his usual eye-searing neon (And even wearing a Fedora over his trademark mohawk to boot!). Hell, as he finally makes his on-camera intro, slinking behind crates and ducks out from cover to check his surroundings, a spied-up version of his theme played him in, glow brass and woodwinds replacing the harsh electronics and guitars.

Of course, 'Agent Vyle' couldn't hear such things. Sure, he insisted on them for the TV crowd, but now that he was on the docks, his one objective: find his bounty. Keeping as low a profile as one can wearing a purple suit, he slinked further down the harbor. Sure, he had to find his bounty...but he knew his adversary was out there too doing the exact same thing...

Seems that there are two people hunting for Momoko. They both want Momoko in order to get a lot of money. But they have to catch Momoko first, and they're also after each other to see to it that only they get the reward. Sounds like something out of a cartoon or movie, but this is the case for tonight's Saturday Night Fight.

But there's a catch: Not only is Momoko not about to let herself get caught, but she's also planning on having some fun of her own. While the two are battling it out with each other, Momoko's going to teach them about Capoeira hands-on. Or rather, feet-on, since her techniques make use of her bare feet mostly.

Speaking of bare feet, it's a good thing she doesn't wear shoes, since that way her footsteps can't be heard as she creeps around. Yet, a big grin remains on her face, since every chance to demonstrate Capoeira is plenty of fun for Momoko!

Normally, Munin would wait, and strike with suprise. However, she too is aware that this is not an actual bounty, and an SNF match, so decides to 'play along' in a slightly more dramatic, if foolish, way. As Momoko passes by, she stands up, her form now visible on a single-story building to the left of the capoeira practicioner.

She too is clad in something outside the norm for her. Combat boots, fatigues, a black vest, and a black-leather trenchcoat, the futuristic sleek fighter contrasted to Vyles more traditional look. Normally, she would never wear shades at night, BUT since the center area along the docks is lit up nicely for the match, she won't have any trouble seeing in this case.

"Last chance....." she calls down "... to turn yourself in without getting hurt!". Munin drops down to the ground, arms kept neutral at her sides. Her eyes flash briefly with violet light as she looks at Momoko, making her eyes briefly visible through the dark eyewear.

Vyle however is all too willing to play along. After all, pro wrestlers in many ways have to be as much actors as athletes. So with his continued slick movements, 'Agent Vyle' snuck around, crate by crate, cover by cover, slowly advancing on the part of the harbor he knew Momoko should be. And while he didn't have a gun on hand...he really didn't need one. Pulling off a black leather glove, the dull, ugly green glow of his energy surrounded it...though it faded soon enough. In time it'd come....

Putting his glove back on, he slunk in closer, low to the ground and almost crawling on his belly. He heard the voice coming...and he scowled. Sounds like his opponent beat him to the prey. But no matter. Climbing up behind a particular stack of crates, he chucked an empty glass bottle he found, tried to get it to crash somewhere to the left of Munin and distract her. At least, long enough that he could slink by and make a drop on Momoko himself if he could!

"Ohh, you're one of the people looking for Momoko?" Momoko asks with a smile. "Well, Momoko's not going to let you catch Momoko that easily!" She looks around, seeing if anyone else is around. She hears a sound of glass breaking, and realizes that someone else is here. "Hello? Who's there? Come out, come out, where ever you are!" Momoko calls with a grin.

After a moment, Momoko shrugs, and begins to start her ginga. "Well, if this is how the game is being played, then Momoko will just have to play along!"

Munin smiles evily, arms outstretched to either side of her "So the other hunter appears....". She eyes the direction of the bottle landing, not about to move from her opponent, just in case it's a distraction. That's HER usual tactic, after all!

With a flick, the collapsable shortsword hidden in her sleeve is extended and in her hand, with dark shadowy chi drifting off it, and a similar effect can be seen from her empty hand. With a blink of speed, she attacks, a spinning strike aimed at Momoko!

Well, while his 'distraction' didn't completely distract like he had hoped, Munin still ends up focusing mostly on Momoko, which...works out for Vyle. Smirking, he ends up slinking in low again, trying to get closer and closer while the two are focused on themselves. Still....if he wants that bounty, he can't have Munin around to take the glory. He wants that score for himself.

So as he slinks behind the fatigue-wearing assassin, 'Agent Vyle' waits...until the right moment when he pounces, charing straight toward Munin. While his footfalls might announce his approach, hopefully his kick to her back will get there before she realizes he's coming.

Power isn't always the answer to winning a fight. Because not only can Momoko see that strike coming from a mile away, but she also manages to go along with the punch so that it doesn't do a thing to her. Momoko doesn't even miss a beat as she remains in her ginga, still smiling widely.

"You gotta be faster than that," Momoko says with a chuckle. "Because Momoko's always watching and waiting!" Momoko then drops down and attempts a spinning low kick, aimed at Munin's feet.

Well THIS is unpleasant. Right out of the gate, shes hit on two fronts!

She angles her foot sideways, stopping the low strike from Momoko, but alas opens herself up to a hit from behind by Vyle, and is kicked square in the back!

This doesn't amuse her as she turns and looks over her shoulder at him, her eyes flashing briefly with violet light through her shades once more. At him!

"That's no way to treat a lady, kicking me in the back like that!" she says with a tone thick with sarcasm, and a smirk. She then blurs towards him, sending a palm strike aimed dead center at his face!

So there's the bounty. Good to know. 'Agent Vyle' sneers at Momoko, recognizing her as his target. "So you're the little bint that everyone wants so badly. Don't see what's so big about you, but long as there's money to be made," he says....though his good mood is interrupted when he's forced to reel back, avoiding the palm strike toward his face. Pivoting away, Vyle tchs, pulling off his hat as he regards his foe.

"I'm sure you're a lot of things, toots, but a lady...please..." he sneers...before the hat is pulled away from in front of his face, a sudden spew of green mist shooting straight for Munin's face once the fedora is out of the way.

The two fighters are obviously interested in engaging one another, but neither seems interested in going after the bounty for the time being. Momoko remains in her ginga, watching the two fighters go at it. "Play nice, you two! Only one of you can have Momoko, so you'll have to get Momoko first!" Momoko still grins, thinking of this whole thing almost like a game, which is typical of Momoko.

"So, who wants to take on Momoko next?" Momoko waits, but notices that the two fighters are more intent on ensuring that they're the only one who gets the bounty. "Awww, stop fighting with each other! That's not nice!" Momoko continues to watch and wait, still grinning all the same.

As Vyle moves his Fedora, Munin catches the movements of his mouth just moments before the breath! She ducks, and it goes over her head, potentially some of towards Momoko! Either way, she did NOT like the idea of what that would do if it hit her....

Hopping up, she glances over her shades, looking Vyle directly in the eyes. Suddenly, hers FLASH brightly with blinding, burning ki! "Well THAT was a rude thing to say!".

Seems Momoko's been forgotten for the moment. Poor Momoko. She'll likely kill them both shortly for their insolence. Time will tell.

Well, that didn't work out so well. The mist is evaded enough, as Munin ducks underneath it. Throwing the fedora away, Vyle sneers and waits, just itching to jump aside and pounce at Momoko...but...well, the flashbang surely does a number on him, blindnig him and blasting him away into a crate. "Nghhh....."

It definitely looks like if he wants to claim that bounty, he's going to have to eliminate Munin for sure. "Nghh...fine....if its gonna be like this..." he growls, charging at Munin and trying to drive in low with a shoot tackle to the ground.

After thinking for a moment and watching the two fighters, Momoko decides to go after Vyle. It was all a random pick, but it doesn't matter to Momoko. After all, she's not just about to sit here and make things easy for her aggressors. They're going to have to work hard for their pay. All the more fun to Momoko in her opinion. In fact, things are about to get exciting in her opinion.

"Look out, here comes Momoko!" Momoko says as she leaps towards Vyle and attempts to strike him with a swift kick that should hopefully catch him off-guard.

Munin smirks to herself as Vyle rushes in. Just as she had hoped. She suddenly splits in two, one of her rushing forwards, blocking his view as it takes the blow full on! However, this chi-based illusion, which has only the slightest of texture or resistance, vanishes on being struck!

Meanwhile, the REAL Munin comes in low, and strikes upwards with her blade, striking through the illusion mere moments before or after Vyle connects with it, aiming her slash at his stomach as she passes by him!

....well, that didn't go so well.

Vyle had tried to use his quickness to overwhelm Munin first thing before she could retaliate...but sadly, it seems like the fatigued hitwoman is one step ahead, the illusion taking the tackle, and the real Munin striking down at him fiercly, his abdomen taking the blow...and if that wasn't bad enough, their mark ends up kicking him down as well, the snap kick sending him to the floor with a rather sudden start. It's....not looking good at the moment.

Rolling back, Vyle clutches his stomach and glowers. When it doubt.....goad. "What was that...magic trick? What...going to pull a rabbit out of your ass the next time I try and kick you?" he sneers as he gets his bearings.

"Momoko's just showing how great Capoeira is!" Momoko says with a grin. "It's an awesome style! Momoko knows it well!" She doesn't seem to have any regrets about what she just did to Vyle. And now it seems she's turning to Munin. "And now, it's your turn for a taste of Capoeira!"

Momoko somersaults over to where Munin is and says, "Here's one of Momoko's favorites! Enjoy!" Momoko spins around and then attempts to deliver a roundhouse kick while jumping up a little to make up for her short size.

Munin blinks as she looks to Momoko as the small muppet moves in to attack her! Off guard, and too close, she is unable to bring her arm up to block, and takes the kick square in the shoulder, and does it hurt! "OUCH!". She turns to look at Momoko, and tries to reach over while the girls in range!

"Darn rugrat...." she quips as she reaches for Momokos throat, attempting to grab hold, squeeze briefly, and fling her down to the ground at her feet. She decides to give Vyle his moment to recover. Looks better for the cameras!

Well...it's possibly a good thing then that Momoko isn't exactly picky who she attacks. With the kick sent by the capoerista drawing Munin's ire enough to draw another attack off, it leaves Vyle to himself...possibly to where he can take another shot at the distracted sword user. SOmetimes, it DOES pay to be ignored.

So when Munin tries to grab the young girl's throat and toss her away, he tosses his glove away, straightening out all the fingers on his hand. With a sharp step, the suited lucahdor tries to strike, aiming a sudden knife-hand thrust toward his opponent's back, a dull green glow around his hand just like he had demonstrated eariler.

As Munin attempts to grab at Momoko, she goes into a handstand and attempts to kick Munin away. It succeeds... well, partially, since Momoko is grabbed anyway, causing her to lose her balance and fall flat on her face. Yet Momoko merely dusts herself off and then gets back onto her feet. "That was good, but Momoko was better!"

Munin reels a bit as shes kicked during her throw attempt, but in the end it saves her neck, as the repositioning gives her a hint of Vyle coming up on her! She looks over just in time to redirect the strike with her arm, though the pain of the impact is nothing to what she just took from Momoko....

She eyes Vyle briefly as she turns back to Momoko "At this rate NEITHER of us will still be standing to collect.... i vote we deal with HER, then take all the time we need to finish each other off.... deal?". She stands eyes shifting from him, to her, waiting.....

While the scenario for TV was to get Momok for her bounty...Vyle was aware enough that it wasn't the REAL reason for this fight. It was a scenario to frame the match...so while he definitely seems like he wants to give Momoko what for due to her position in the fight, his focus remains solely on Munin for...strategic purposes.

"Sorry, chica, but considering I won't be getting paid either way if you're still standing," the luchador sneers, before trying to boot another glass bottle toward the sneaky assassin, obviously trying to keep up the provocation rather than directly engaging.

"Come on, come take on Momoko!" Momoko says as she attempts to get their attention. But neither of the fighters wants Momoko's attention. Instead, they're going after each other again. This causes Momoko to pout a little, but then she realizes that Vyle is going after Munin, while Munin is pausing for the time being. "Well, if the fighter won't come to Momoko, then Momoko will go to them!"

Momoko attempts to roll on the ground towards Vyle, and if successful, she'll roll into him and hit him with an extended toe kick.

Munin looks to Momoko as she attacks Vyle, but only then looks up to see the bottle incoming! She lifts her hand, sending a bolt of shadowy chi from her palm, but misses it! It smashes into pieces on impact with her face, knocking her sunglasses off! She steps back with the hit, her hand held to the injury, as red slowly begins to run down her neck.....

The Good news is that Vyle was able to crash that bottle into Munin's face with that sharp booting. The bad news...as much as he's focused on Munin, it allows Momoko to dive in and roll forward into him with that diving kick. The kick is bad...but the energy surrounding it is worse, the combination of both sending the poor sap crashing yet again somewhere into containers around the harbor.

This time, he has no pithy provocation or comeback. As much as he's relished the scenario initially, it's taken away a lot of his best taunt material it seems...so the loud, lewd luchador is mostly left to just hang back and cluch his chest as he catches a breath. This is going remarkably bad for him despite Munin barely attacking him...

Momoko hits her opponent and then rolls back onto her feet. She resumes her ginga and grins. "Momoko's never done this well in a fight before! That's just how awesome Capoeira truly is!" She continues to dance from side to side, watching her opponent and waiting to see what her opponents do next. For a moment she dances and watches.

Then she sees that neither of them seem intent on coming after her... or each other. Momoko pouts again. "You're making this go too slow! Come on, hurry up!"

Then Vyle, who looks pretty banged up, and has no luck staying on his feet. Those creepy eyes of her glow through the tinted lenses once more, as she targets Momoko, moving to try to flank the half-pint harbinger of defeat.

While Momoko is SERIOUSLY asking for it at this point, Vyle forces himself to remember: Momoko's not really IN the fight. Again, Scenario makes her the center, but the fight is really between him and Munin. So while he glowers at the taunting Momoko, he reminds himself that Munin needs to bear the brunt.

"I'm going to take care of you later, little brat, you're gonna be screaming for your momma's milk after this..." he sneers....before charging after Munin YET AGAIN, coming in low like he did before...but shunting off to the side rather than coming in directly like last time. Instead, he tries to hook her arm and whip her around in a quick armdrag takedown instead.

"OK, Momoko is done waiting!" Momoko decides to jump back into the fight once again and says, "You two need to settle this once and for all. But Momoko will help with that." She looks between the two fighters and then stops at Vyle. "You shouldn't call Momoko a brat, because you will regret it!" An evil grin forms on Momoko's face as she stares at Vyle.

"Momoko tends to hit hard to those who call Momoko names!" Momoko continues. "Like THIS!" Momoko hops onto her hands and attempts a one-two kicking attack with her extended bare feet.

Munin erks as she gets thrown, not expecting him to be dumb enough to come at her AGAIN when their both clearly getting nailed hard, while the 'target' is not. This means trouble, since her role in her mind is to ensure the target is in a state that makes bringing her in possible. This cannot happen under current parameters of actions. Therefore, Vyle must be removed.

Yes, her mind thinks of it in those precise words....

She manages to breakfall, mitigating most of the damage on landing. Then, as Momoko comes in, she is up like a shot, sending her palm up, in an attempt to go under his guard, and hit him square under the chin!

Well, crap. This isn't good. Getting double teamed means he's in even more trouble than before...while Momoko's hop-kick ends up braced upon Vyle's forearms, the luchadore is forced to contend with Munin's following strike as well, the attempted palm strike met with a spinning back kick by the rudo....at least, that was the intent.

INstead, before he can whip around, Vyle is FORCIBLY spun around in mid-pivot by Munin's strike, sending him spinning and rolling away in a pained heap as his counterstrike fails miserably. He doesn't crash into anything, but...that may be even worse, clattering across hard concrete from the impact and looking even more battered than before.

"OK, you've had your fun, now it's your turn!" Momoko says as she spins to face Munin. "Momoko thinks that it's your turn to experience the fun of Capoeira!" She attempts to launch into a handstand, and then grab Munin by the neck. If successful, Momoko will twist and send Munin down.

This isn't looking too good. Not at all. "Not gonna keep me down THAT easy, half-pint". Despite the blood running down her face from the bottle, she still manages a smirk at Momoko.

Ok...so...right now, Vyle is in dire straits. As he pushes himself back up to his feet, a thought occurs to him, watching Munin slice and swing toward the younger Capoerista: maybe they really DO need to get rid of the little bint first...or at least keep her honest in a way that will prevent Vyle from being so painfully double teamed yet again.

Of course, it'll probably be only a temporary thing, but still, it comes as Vyle charges toward the youngest of the three, trying to leap over her and drop her down with a flipping neckbreaker.

Taking a defensive stance, Momoko deflects away the bottle, which hurts a little bit, and does kind of cut into her a little, but that's nothing compared to when Vyle attempts to grab Momoko and throw her. Despite being thrown, Momoko lands in a crouched position instead of just being thrown directly onto the ground. She dusts herself off, noticing the blood on her, and that's when things change.

"You made Momoko bleed!" Momoko says with a scowl. "Momoko hates bleeding!" She rushes at Munin, attempting to deliver a series of carefully choreographed attacks.

Munin            1/---====/=======|=====--\-------\0             Vyle


Munin manages to get the space, thanks in part to Vyle intervening and distracting Momoko. She watches for a moment, looking for how best to move in, when Momoko declares outwardly her intent. Munin instantly locks on the capoeira artist, her every move for a weakness with the attack incoming!

She dodges the first kick, then the second, and manages to correctly guess the third in the sequence, slipping around and past Momoko. she stabs her sword at a vital point on Momokos body as she goes, driving the weapon in a nice bit.

Once she's passed, she turns and faces Momoko from the other side, reestablishing the situation before her next move.

There.

That was the chance Vyle was hoping for. While he attacked Momoko to keep her honest, he was still mainly trying to fight off Munin. That was the thing he forced himself to remember. So when the sword user stabs Momoko in the middle of the girl's attack, the suited luchador figures it's his time to strike. His pithiness long since sacrificed for utilty this match, he makes a leap above the capoerista, diving for Munin in hopes of catching her off guard. Well...not diving AT her, but diving OVER her...at least, 90% over her. The rest tries to hook his legs around her head and carry her over in a headscissors takedown out of the blue.

Momoko gets stabbed, and she cries out in pain, dropping to the ground as blood pools around her. The wound isn't as deep as she thought it was, but it still hurts. Momoko groans a little, holding the wound with one hand while she gets back up. Weakened and a little dazed, Momoko's ginga isn't as fast as it was before.

"Momoko... hurts..." She comments. "Momoko... wants... to keep... fighting!" Even with her wounds, it's obvious Momoko's not giving up that easily. "Momoko can do this!"

With a blink, Munin sees him coming, and braces herself....

She lets him take her down!

From the ground, having been ready for the impact, she lashes out suddenly with her arm, enshrouded in dark shadowy chi, aiming for his face, expression that of visible annoyance. She doubts either of them will get paid at this point, thinking in character for her 'persona' for the match.

Munin            1/-======/=======|====---\-------\0             Vyle


Managing to finally evade one of Munin's attacks since the beginning of the fight, Vyle drops down low underneath the strike to the jaw, flat to the ground. His eyes flit over toward the groaning and resting Momoko...and decides she's currently a non-factor. Instead, he focuses on his real objective in the fight.

Popping back up to his feet with effort belaboring his current state of damage, he tries to throw himself backwards, just as he tries to spray yet another gout of ugly, vicous poison mist back into the swordswoman's face. At least this part of Vyle's usual demeanor hasn't changed.

Momoko takes the time to catch her breath and focus more carefully on the whole fight. She realizes that she underestimated Munin, and as a result is paying the price with a bit of blood loss. But Momoko still won't give up. She still wants to be involved in this fight. And she's not going to let those two have her either!

"Momoko's back in action!" Momoko says, still a little weak, but otherwise seeming not as fazed as she was before. "Get ready, Momoko's going to retry what Momoko tried before. This time, Momoko's ready!" She attempts to leap into the air while going for Munin, and then attempts to do a full three-sixty spin, while kicking at the same time too no less!

Munin starts to stand, only to duck abruptly as Vyle tries that face-spit attack again! She starts to move in to respond, her form beginning to shimmer slightly, when in comes Momoko!

Poor Munin has but a few seconds to take this in when Momoko hammers her hard, sending her down and out on the ground.

Well...that's...one way to take care of things. Mind, Vyle didn't precisely contribute to Munin's fall, but hey...better lucky than skilled sometimes. Even with his Venom Breath ducked, he's the one standing between the two fo them.

Unfortunately, now he has to worry about their bounty. When his opponent falls from that hammering kick, he stares down the young Capoerista. "...Well...guess it's just you and me," he says. "...I wish I had something witty and insulting to say right now, but right now I couldn't give a damn," he mutters, instead just trying to charge down Momoko and heft her up, aiming to slam the kid back first into a crate or something.

Momoko is slammed into a nearby crate, back first no less. She cries out as she goes into it, but it doesn't break. Neither does Momoko's back, which is a miracle. Even though she's groaning and holding it in pain. For a girl like Momoko, you have to admire how much resolve she has. "Unngh... Momoko... get up!" And she does, after rolling onto the ground then pushing herself up.

"OK... Momooko... It's time... to bring out the secret attack!" Momoko glows a little as she focuses on her hands, and then she begins to emit a glow that's even bigger. Then, a beam of chi fires from her hands and directly at Vyle!

....oh hell no.

At the very least, the luchador is showing that he's ridiculously resilient and unwilling to go down easy. While he manages to do some serious damage to the young Psycho Soldier wannabe, Vyle's still got much less in the tank than her...which is probably why his continued survival is so remarkable. Then again, he's resourceful, able to avoid the beam that Momoko shoots out by sheer dint of his scrambling up several barrels, then leaping the hell off of them when the Esper attack blasts them to hell. Rolling to minimize damage as much as possible, he tries to transition smoothly (or as smoothly as he can, damaged as he is) into yet another headscissors attempt, popping up to wrap legs around Momo's head and hopefully yank her over just by leg power and momentum.

As Momoko is grabbed, she twists herself into the throw and attempts to land in a crouched position once again. It works, albeit with a little more pain than usual, as she winces as she lands. Nevertheless. Momoko is not done yet. She's got Vyle on the ropes and intends to finish him. "You won't get Momoko that easily! You'll have to take Momoko out first!" Momoko attempts to emphasise this with a flying backsault aimed at Vyle, along with a swift kick for effect too.

Unfortunately, it looks like Vyle's luck finally runs out. Despite his best attempt to turn Momoko over with that throw, he doesn't get her all the way, and when he finally gets popped up, he ends up eating a back somersault kick to the face. Sure, he tried to duck out of it, but...nope, just too slow at this point, with how long things have ground on.

Still, he's a tenacious enough bastard that he's still standing, glowering and staring down the capoerista. "Sorry, a kid like you shouldn't...be talking about how easy they are..." he mutters, snorting in a self-amused way before he tries to give her a skillless boot to the stomach.

Momoko isn't about to let that kick get her. She goes into her handstand and attempts her one-two kick combo... but just as she makes contact, so does Vyle. She goes down, and lies there for a moment before getting herself back up. Now she's really looking winded, but no matter how hard it might be, Momoko never gives up!

The kick is thwarted, and Vyle ends up eating that handstand kick from the skilled little fighter...but somehow, he's still standing. He just doesn't know when to die, does he? The luchador spits a bit of blood, mixed in with that green poison he'd been spewing before, but he's still kicking! Enough to try and wrap his arms around Momo's neck and simply trap her in a choke hold, hoping to finally keep the little firecracker still. "About time you shut up and stopped speaking in third-person..."

Momoko steps out of the way, albeit tiredly. She then looks up at Vyle and says, "It's time Momoko ended this!" She attempts to bring her left foot towards Vyle, heel first, hoping to end this once and for all.

End it shall...but it may just end on Vyle's terms, somehow, someway. As Momoko snaps her left foot out in a stabbing heel kick, the luchadore whips around, doing to the capoerista what he failed to do to Munin earlier and smashing her into the air with his own back heel kick. Normally, at this point, he'd leap in after her and drive her down into the ground. As battered as he is, though? He just lets her fall, then tackles her straight out of the air into another set of crates. Crude, and not very lucha, but...it'll do in a pinch.

"You're right...this is...the end..."

Momoko is tackled and caught, and it looks like this could truly be the end. In a last ditch effort, Momoko attempts to deliver one last strike at Vyle, using what remains of her energy, before she falls to the ground.

The snap kick that Momoko snaps off before she finally falls defeated manages to clock Vyle right in the hip as he's trying to turn away...and it looks like it's the straw that breaks the camels back, the 'Agent' falling over and groaning in pain at that final kick. And yet....slowly,, slowly, he stumbles back up to his feet. He falters, but he manages to finally rise back up. His suit's torn and worn, and he's got plenty of blood stains that'll need to be cleaned out of...well, everything, but he's up.

Finding his long discarded Fedora, he places it back on his mohawked head. Fishing out a cell phone that is far more resilient than he to have survived that fight, he punches in a number and dials in. "....I've secured her. Little brat's not going anywhere. You better pay me good for this too, you don't know how much crap I had to go through to score this bounty."

And as the camera slowly pans out, 'Agent Vyle' walks over toward the fallen Momoko, cracking his neck (and nearly falling over as something cracks too far), ready to heft his quarry back to whoever wanted the poor girl in the first place.

COMBATSYS: Vyle has ended the fight here.
