NDP 2012.05 - NDP #36: Benkei vs Raoghnailt

Description: Returning back to Scotland, Raoghnailt begins her debut in the Neo Development League to fight, as all these games should begin with, the Todoh-Ryuu Fighter! But it looks like the woman better shift away from casual gaming, or learn to invest in more quarters... (Winner: Benkei?!)



Benkei has accepted yet another NDP challenge, sure to lead to humiliation and pain. But he has to keep trying - that's the Todoh Way (tm)!!! He stands on the edge of the loch, with a pair of binoculars, peering at the water. "The existance of the Loch Ness monster is impossible," he says to himself, searching the waves through the lenses of his looking glass. "If any such creatures existed, there would have been a dead specimen to study! Ha! Loch Ness Monster! Preposterous! But not like Bigfoot." He lowers the binoculars. "Big Foot is real." He's presently dressed in his Todohryuu gi, with red belt on his waist.

Raoghnailt was doing all kinds of stuff now. First she had fought in the SNF. And now, she was participating in the Neo Development Project? She didn't even know what should would do with the money that her caretakers would be given if she won! The blind woman was back in Scotland, though obvious not HER Scotland. And fighting someone by the name of Benkei, oh what fun!


But what was he doing?

The celtic lass stands behind Benkei, arms behind her back. Clutching the cane, she tilts her head to one side. Then the other, keeping in silence. Listening to the boy, her smile shifts into a frown. Finally, as he finishes his inner monologue, she stamps her foot, bringing her arms back from behind her. In a scottish brogue, she lithly scolds the boy.

"How dare you beseech the name of Nessie!"

Benkei startles, letting out a small cry as he spins about to face Rao. "Oh, hey, you snuck up on me there!" Benkei squeeks. He sets his binoculars down, grinning brightly. "You must be Raoghnailt. I saw your match on SNF!" Benkei says cheerily. "Okay, I guess that's it. Are you ready?" He asks, dropping into a combat stance and beginning to glow with an aura of golden chi. "Honestly, if something like that is living in the lake for that long, there's probably /more than one/ Nessie!"

COMBATSYS: Benkei has started a fight here.

aoghnailt, outraged at first, loses her angry when he hears her voice. "Oh! You are nothing but a young man!" Naturally, when he mentions her SNF fight, she even blushes a bit. "Why thank you! I couldn't see it myself!" Giggling, she adjusts her blindfold. "I am ready too! I am just so excited-" But when Benkei flares up his chi, she suddenly perks up, looking utterly INTERESTED in the teenager.
"What interesting energy!"

Raoghnailt practically squeals, gingeringly reaching out a hand to Benkei, beckoning him. "You are an interesting young man! Ooo, I want you to come closer. Or show me you power! Something... with spirit!" Raoghnailt licks her lips a bit, smiling warmly.

She wasn't hitting on him, was she?

Benkei blinks rapidly at Raoghnailt, blushing as he tries to decipher the Scottish lady's intent. It must have been that Old Spice he put on this morning. That's the only explanation! "Okay, Ms. Raoghnailt! Get ready to face the deadly power of TODOHRYUU KOBOJUTSU!" His hands glow with balls of chi as he jerks them downwards, expelling a wave across the ground at his foe. "KASANE ATE!"

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt endures Benkei's Kasane Ate.

"Bring it to me!"

Raoghnailt seems to be waiting for Benkei's show of might. Spreading her arms open, she holds them up as a T, a standing jesus, while she simply smiles. "Todoh-Ryuu? I have never heard of it! But it must be strong..." As the shockwave is unleashed, Raoghnailt stands tall against the wave. Enduring the blast she coos lightly...

and begins to glow with the same golden energy that Benkei flared up. Toying with the flickers of golden light with the fingers of the free hand, she hums to herself. "This is different. Why is it different? There is something strange about your aura, Benkei... Let me show you!" The scottish mystic begins to draw a strangle, interwoven sigil in the air before her, glowing with the golden chi. As it is completed, she touches the sigil with the butt of her fist... and the sigil erupts into a beam shooting straight for Benkei.

A beam of Benkei's own energy.

COMBATSYS: Benkei dodges Raoghnailt's Starlight Dreamer.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0           Benkei


Benkei's head lilts to the side as the Scot draws the signal, before sending a beam of Benkei's own chi flying at him. He does a cartwheel to the side, blinking rapidly. "You're right, that was amazing!" he says, in a three point stance. "Why, I've never seen chi mimicry. You should show that to some scientists!" He bursts out of his spring with a leap to the air, his right heel flying out with a jump kick.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt blocks Benkei's Light Kick.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/----===|=------\-------\0           Benkei


As the blast erupts past Benkei, Raoghnailt continues that kind smile. The woman was not malicious, but simply sweet. As the student of Todoh rushes in, the mystic keeps her hand up. As the young man suddenly finds the air around Raoghnailt to glow with a defused gold light. Benkei finds himself slowing down, as if he was struggling through some kind of thick fog around the woman. Even Benkei could feel his fall slow down. When his kick lands, Raoghnailt simply tucks in, giving a little squeak in pain as it contacts.

And Raoghnailt giggles.

"Oh, you are so smart, but wrong." She begins, sweeping her cane back. The weapon begins to become alight with golden energy, flaring out with viscious energy. Raoghnailt continues, a somewhat vapid tone in her voice. "That wasn't mimicking your chi, it was your energy! There is energy all around us! Water, wind, earth..." She sighs, smiling warmly. "Let me show them all to you! Take back your power!"

And she swings her cane widely.

Slashing at Benkei, the cane seemed to be nothing more than a welt. But the golden energy that Benkei once had gave it a bone-cutting edge; Benkei might need to rely more on that incredible evasive talent to avoid taking a gash of kings.

COMBATSYS: Benkei parries Raoghnailt's Power Strike!

Benkei sees the cane come in, aware that his own chi is fueling the strike. He takes a step forward, closing into Raoghnailt's space and smacking the cane aside towards her grip with his arm. His left fist then shoots forward, as Benkei executes a devastating punch. "HIYAAAH!" he screams, his chi flaring up with a hint of heat. "If I have an element, then it is FIYAH!"

COMBATSYS: Benkei successfully hits Raoghnailt with Cannon Fist EX.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/---====|===----\-------\0           Benkei


As Raoghnailt slashes the air, she feels that the weapon is parried. Benkei gets the opportunity to lunge in, and get his clean shot... but the field seems to thicker. The gold energy seems to flare up with blinding light, making it even harder for Benkei to move through.

"It is like fire, yes, but infused with something." Raoghnailt begins, rubbing her stomach gingerly. The red haired woman flinches again, before raising her cane. Now, the weapon was burning with not a golden energy.... but a bluish light. "All gone! Bah! Take me near the water, Benkei, I want to show you! But first..." The woman smiles, reaching out for Benkei. Attempting to grab the boy by his wrist, the woman tries to clutch him, pushing him to the ground. A weak grapple, to be certain... but should Raoghnailt get a grip on Benkei, the poor boy may find that his inner chi to be torn from his body in a blinding, burning drain.

A energy vampire?

COMBATSYS: Benkei blocks Raoghnailt's Medium Throw.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0           Benkei


Benkei is smaller than the grown woman, and is forced to the ground while she grips him, feeling his chi sucked out. "Hey, hey, I barely know you!" Benkei whines. "What are you, like, a succubus?!" He screeches, before he lashes out with his fist, attempting to chop Raoghnailt's neck and get her to get off him.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt endures Benkei's Quick Punch.

The neck chop gets a frightened squeak from Raoghnailt. Groaning in pain, the woman still keeps her grip. "Ow! OW!" She whimpers, whining back at Benkei. "I didn't mean to impose, but I am a very special woman! Is that what succubus means?" Raoghnailt tilts her head, her smile returning... before the energy surging back into Benkei.

Golden energy.

Raoghnailt tries to lift up Benkei, holding him up by his wrist. Should she successfully raise him up, she would just wind back her cane, and with a rapid slash, attempt to tear a deep blow into his chest.

All with a smile.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt successfully hits Benkei with Heavy Strike.
Grazing Hit

Benkei hops backwards as he's held by the wrist, the cane narrowly grazing across his belly, the golden chi burning a mark on the white fabric. "Geez, that stung! I can't believe you're making me fight my own chi, this is amazing!" he says, before he attempts to grab Raoghnailt by the shoulder, and jam his thumb in a gap between the tendon and bone.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt endures Benkei's Pressure Point.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Benkei


A pressure point strike?

Raoghnailt was doomed. As she tears into the student's stomach, he continues to leech away the boy's aura. Smiling just a bit, she titters again. "I know, isn't it so cool? I think it is the coolest thing in the world!" Raoghnailt seemed to be just as wide-eyed as Benkei... except she was blindfolded. But she doesn't seem to even react when the hands grip her by the shoulder.
And a gasp.

"OUCH!" She yelps, wincing horribly as she drops Benkei, trembling painfully as she curls herself up a bit. "You hurt me! How could you? You touched me in a pressure point!" And then, she smiles again. "But that's amazing! How did you learn about that?" She coos, before making a short, low chop before her, trying to increase the distance between the two.

"Do you like fish?"

"I have made a study of the body's weak points!" Benkei proudly announces, jumping into the air over the cane and lashing out with a quick kick. "Todohryuu demands a scientist's insight, an artist's passion, and an engineer's work ethic!" he claims boldly, bouncing backwards off Raoghnailt is he makes contact.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt fails to interrupt Light Kick from Benkei with Mortal Recoil.

Raoghnailt       1/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Benkei


%As Benkei evades the attack, Raoghnailt already begins with the second attack. Weaving the golden energy around her, she begins to weave a golden sigil in the air. "Insight, Passion, and Ethics? But what about natural talent... or even heart?" Almost done with the sigil, she begins to reach out to touch it as Benkei leaps in...

But Benkei is too fast for her.

The stray kick breaks through the sigil, sending Raoghnailt stumbling back with a gasp. "My! Todoh-Ryuu must be incredible, if you are so fast!" She exclaims, taking in a deep breath... and weezing out.

Using her attacks really took a lot out of her!

Benkei surges through the glyph with the jumping kick, and flips backwards off of Raoghnailt, landing in another three point pose. "I hate to beat you up, Ms. Raoghnailt, especially since you have a disability, but I need the money from winning!" He stands up and brings down a mighty Todoh Chop, aimed right at Raoghnailt's shoulder.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt blocks Benkei's Fantastic Todoh Chop.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Benkei


Raoghnailt releases the cane.

"Disability?" She begins, smiling as the cane hangs from the wrist by a strap. "It isn't a disability, it is a gift! I can feel all the world's energy!" She begins, sweeping her arms around. Crossing her arms, she balls up slightly, blocking the painful chop to the shoulder... which is hit with a crack. WHimpering, Raoghnailt acrosses her arms..

And lunges in for an embrace.

Attemping to hold Benkei, she would begin to burn with energy, crushing him with both chi and her fairly weak arms. Once the golden chi was purged, however, she would release the boy, and push him back a bit... before finishing with a short kick to the chin.

How professional!

Raoghnailt       0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Benkei


As Raoghnailt's arms close in around him, Benkei drops to a split, quite limber, since he's been studying his ground work and still has the limberness of a teenager. "Hey, lady, you don't know me, stop trying to touch me like that! Don't make me tell my mom!" He lashes out with a fist, trying to catch Raoghnailt in the stomach from his position in the split.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt fails to interrupt Strong Punch from Benkei with Intercepting Strike.

[                    \\\\\\\\\\  < >  //////////////////////        ]
Raoghnailt       1/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Benkei


Raoghnailt was really looking tired, her attacks taking a great deal out of the poor mystic. As her attempt at embracing Benkei backfires horribly, she seems to already be gripping her cane by the handle again, ready to unleash another cutting blow.

But Benkei puts a stop to that.

The fighter outspeeds her our intercepting blow, catching her right in the gut. Doubled over, she groans again, clutching her torso. And then, slipping to the ground, bundled over. "That... hurt." She whines, rubbing her stomach.

And she doesn't recover, at first.

Benkei pops back up out of the split, and grins brightly. "Of course it hurt, Ms. Raoghnailt, I am a student of Master Todoh! He always knows how to make it hurt in a special place!" he announces, not understanding the implications. He assumes a defensive stance, waiting for Raoghnailt to get up.

COMBATSYS: Benkei focuses on his next action.

Raoghnailt       1/-------/=======|=======\-------\0           Benkei


And Raoghnailt begins to weave.

Drawing out green and blue energy, she seems to be channeling out from the earth, from the water, and from the air itself. Taking the energy, she begins to shift the energy, transforming it into a massive sigil disc before her. With skill, she seems to be picking and prodding at the laces of energy, as if she was weaving a fine rug. As it begins to look complete, the woman runs her hands alongside the sigil. And as she touches it, she lets loose a warning.

"Watch out!"

And then she touches the sigil.

Earthen blasts of rock and clods of soil erupt with a gush of water. In turn, a gust of wind whirls it forward in a wild tornado of energy. Exploding apart as it reaches Benkei, it fails to even reach the knockback potential... but should he find himself caught in the energy, he might be torn apart.

And Raoghnailt eyes seem to glow beneath her blindfold now.

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt successfully hits Benkei with Seventh Seal.

Benkei watches the sigil being traced, realizing that it was foolish to allow her to get up. As the maelstrom approaches him, his eyes grow wide, and he finds his gi torn apart by the forces of energy, left in his boxers with his glasses on crookedly, on his hands and knees. "Heh-heh...You're pretty good with chi...But I'm good with my fists!" He stands and rushes forward, with a punch aimed at Raoghnailt's solar plexus. "Nimrod HAMMAH!"

COMBATSYS: Benkei successfully hits Raoghnailt with Nimrod Hammer.

Raoghnailt       0/-------/----===|=------\-------\0           Benkei


Benkei could feel that Raoghnailt was throwing up another aura, the bluish-white light diffusing around her as the boy comes in, slowing him down. But as she stands there, she begins to sweep her arm for a block. "You are impressive! But let me-" Before she can finish, she is swiftly struck in the solar plexus by a single stray han-

Wait, isn't that her chest?

Raoghnailt screams as she finds a hand right between her breasts. "P-P-PERVERT!" She screams, before sweeping her arms high in the air. The earth rumbles, the water shudders, and the wind howls as a half a dozen beams scatter around the battlefield, peppering the landmark with wide, arcing beams of wind, earth, and water. She wasn't even aiming for Benkei, but if a stray laser may hit him, it would be effective.

But not for a win from Raoghnailt.

The scottish woman curl up in a ball, sobbing, the fight well out of her.

"I'm done for!"

COMBATSYS: Raoghnailt can no longer fight.

Benkei steps backwards, blushing as he sees just where he put his hand. Did he just molest a blind woman? Oh dear! As the crazy beams of chi fly everywhere, he backpedals, waiting and watching...As a beam comes flying at him, he kicks it aside with a chi-powered kick. He blinks as Raoghnailt stops fighting. "Did I win...Oh my...I won! I WON! Eat that, dad, eat my shorts!" he shouts, hopping up and down.

COMBATSYS: Benkei has ended the fight here.
