Description: Adon and Maki make their stunning return to the Neo-League. Fighting in the CWA Arena, the Emperor of Muay Thai thinks he can secure an easy win, like in the old days. The Ninja of Bushin-Ryu, however, proves that she has learned a few new tricks, and won't make it easy for Adon this season.... (Winner: Maki)
Once, she was known as being one of the top challengers in the Neo League, a fighter looking to make a name for herself. But things have changed since then. Maki Genryuusai has officially set her sights on becoming the new master of the Bushin-ryu style of martial arts, which would be very notable since she'd be the first female master of the art. Always believing that women are just as capable of fighting as men are, Maki has set her sights on improving herself any way she can, just like the fighter Ryu, whom she actually did encounter recently. This encounter has changed her view on things in a major way.
Of course, Maki still continues to fight, including in the Neo League, to show off her prowess while using it as a way of learning her strengths and weaknesses, in her quest. Today, at the CWA Wrestling Arena, a Neo League battle has been set up in the ring, and while it's not entirely wrestling, it's still going to be high flying and exciting!
As Maki enters the ring to warm up, she waves her tonfa to her fans and gives a slight smile, before going to her corner and warming up a little, waiting patiently for her opponent.
They were both top challengers.
Parallel to the Bushin-Ryu warrior, Adon was walking towards the ring. Dressed in the crown and anklets of a true Emperor of Muay Thai, he had made his return to the Neo-League. Like Maki, he was once the greatest champion. But where Maki believed a woman could be just as good as a man in the ring, the Emperor of Muay Thai had a much more... provincial belief.
"SO, MAKI GENRYUUSAI!"
The Emperor shrieks, swaggering towards the ring. Hurling himself under the ropes, he stands tall in the opposite corner of the blonde fighter. "It TRULY HAS been FAR too long. TWICE I had DEFEATED you! TWICE in this VERY LEAGUE! It is WHY I have been ALL TOO EAGER to RETURN to the NEO-LEAGUE, to FIGHT YOU as I had FIGHT YOU so long ago. I! ADON! THE EMPEROR OF MUAY THAI! Wish to BEGIN his GLORIOUS RETURN.
"BY DEFEATING YOU!"
Adon throws up his guard, balancing on his leg. His fists up, and his leg ready to catch any incoming blows, he sneers at the woman. "You have ONE LAST CHANCE, Maki, to ACCEPT your INEVITABLE LOSS, and to simply FLEE from this RING. I am certain your TWO FANS will UNDERSTAND, once they are FINISHED with they BUCKETS of FRIED CHICKEN and MAYONNAISE!" With that, the Emperor howls with laughter.
"KYA HA HA!!!"
As Adon makes his entry, Maki can only frown at him. His flashy entrance, his show-off attitude, the way he's boasting and bragging, it's just so disgusting in Maki's opinion. She turns away and shakes her head for a moment, before looking at Adon again. "Your arrogance is just one of the many things that I hate about you, Adon!" Maki shouts. "You think you're all that just because you feel that you're the new 'Emperor of Muay Thai' or whatever, but you don't truly realize just how many other factors there are in this." Maki adjusts her tonfa slightly, tightening it a bit more before looking back at Adon.
"I refuse to back away. Even if I lose, I'll know where my weaknesses lie, and learn how to fix them for when I get closer to achieving my goal of being the new master of Bushin-Ryu. And I don't do this just for the fame and glory either. I want to prove that women are equally as strong as men!" She gets into her fighting stance and approaches the center of the ring. "I am ready when you are, so have at you!"

His arrogance?
Adon simply sneers at Maki, inspecting her dismissively. "TRULY, you have a GREAT DEAL to learn, if you wish to learn from your WEAKNESSES!" The emperor scoffs. "But if you REFUSE to BACK AWAY, then you are NOTHING MORE than a BLONDE BIMBO who can't even LEARN from her PREVIOUS LOSSES. Let me MAKE THIS QUICK, and provide YOU your THIRD LOSS against my MAGNIFICENT MUAY THAI MIGHT!" With his warning through, he then explodes forward.
"JAAAAGGAAAAA!"
Leaping forth with blinding speed, the Emperor bounds through the air. Tucking his knee in, he leads with his most infamous of opening moves: The Flying Muay Thai knee. Surging through the air, he attempting to drive that knee hard into the chest of the tonfa-wielding fighter, unleashing the full force of his Muay Thai might into his old Neo-League opponent.
It was like old times, all over again.
COMBATSYS: Adon has joined the fight here.

"Your words won't move me, Adon. No matter how many times you beat me, you'll never truly defeat me!" Maki steadies herself as she talks, preparing to avoid the incoming knee, but it hits before she realizes it, and she drops to the ground for a moment before pushing herself back up onto her feet, almost effortlessly. "That was a good one, but this is still the beginning, so anything can still happen!"
Maki strafes a little, as if to try to survey Adon carefully before making her next move. "Skill alone is useless if you don't know how to properly harness it. And while it seems you know how to handle it, I do too!" Maki attempts to fake-out Adon and hopefully strike him in the side with her tonfa.

Move her?
Adon was content to move her with actions, not words. Bowling over her with his incredible Muay Thai speed, he lands on both feet, He was off-balanced, yes. But as Maki comes roaring in with her tonfas, he remembers all too well how his opponent fought. Tracking the ninja, he keeps his guard up when the fake-out comes. When the first limb catches nothing, the second limb is already in place to meet the tonfa. Blocking the blow, the Emperor doesn't even flinch. Sneering, he spits back at the woman. "Ah, Maki, but you forget."
"I know HOW to USE my MUAY THAI SKILL!"
Wrenching around his free arm, he tries to grab the blonde-haired woman by her hair. Should he become successful, he would simply pull himself in, knee first, to slam the limb hard into Maki's torso. Once. Twice. Upon the third, he would simply throw her across the ring, directly for one of the turnbuckle posts.
Cackling the entire time.

"I know you're the master of Muay Thai, but--" Maki is caught by Adon and hit, and then thrown into the turnbuckle, which hurts like hell. It makes Maki wonder how the wrestlers manage to handle it. She slumps onto the canvas, rubbing her back and then using one of the ropes to get herself back up. "So, it looks like you definitely have the upper hand on me."
Those last words suddenly cause Maki to do an internal double-take. Doubting herself, or believing her opponent will beat her? Not the type of mindset that you should have when fighting. "But you won't win that easily!" Maki holds onto the turnbuckle for support as she tries to keep herself together.
COMBATSYS: Maki gains composure.

"Stupid GIRL!"
That was the roar of the Emperor as he recovers from the fierce assault. Maki was but a ragdoll to the Emperor. Another stepping stone to the championship. To restore his honor as the Emperor of Muay Thai. "You wish to keep me from WINNING that easily, you VAPID-HEADED WHORE? He shrieks, thundering towards Maki as she recovers from the turnstile.
"I'll just show you HOW STRONG I REALLY AM!"
Bounding high in the air again, the Emperor suddenly front flips. A quick, rather telegraphed attack, especially with the distance between the two. Heel laced in energy, he drops the heel right towards Maki, hoping to hammer her straight into the ground. If successful, he will finish the assault low to the ground, placing him in a position of weakness. A cunning attack from the Emperor, yes. But as his screams show, a very signature one as well.

"Show me what you want, and doubt my intelligence if you want, but you can't defeat me easily!" Maki shouts at Adon, standing firmly as Adon comes at her, only to use her tonfa to knock his kick away from her. With a slight grunt, Maki turns to face Adon. "You're doing well, I'll give you that, but your arrogance will be your definite downfall." Maki rubs her arm a little before rushing at Adon.
"Now I'll show you what I'm capable of." Maki drops onto the ground and then launches into a literal human whirlwind, spinning around with her leg outstretched while spinning on the tip of her tonfa!

The kick is deflected, and Adon was on the ground. Certainly, he was overextended. Or was he? Body tensing, he was flexing his whole body up, tightening it. He was bracing for the incoming attack, and ready to respond with a launching knee of his own. As Maki breaks into a whirlwind, the Emperor explodes up.
But Adon fails to break through.
Caught by the kick, Adon is knocked off-balanced, stumbling back to the ground. Body still tensed up, he at least negated some of the damage. But as sweat pours from his brow, it was obvious how exhausted he was growing. "Graaagh." He groans, rising back up.
"Foolish TROLLOP!"
"Foolish? You are one to talk!" Maki says as she gets back onto her feet. "You foolishly tried to stop me when you knew you had no way of doing so safely!" She adjusts her hair a little then dusts herself off before staring at Adon once again. "I've barely even broken a sweat too."
Maki takes two steps towards Adon, then attempts to rush in and grab him by the shoulder. If successful, Maki intends to hurl him into the canvas, as opposed to the turnbuckle.

Stumbled up.
Adon is still tripped up as Maki takes her steps in, rushing him. He had simply attempted to endure the blow, but to no avail: The woman grabs him by the shoulder, and with a swift flip, slams him down on the canvas. "Bargh!" Came the snarl, as Adon rolls across the Canvas.
He needed momentum now.
"I will make you SWEAT. ENDURE the MIGHT of a MUAY THAI WARRIOR!" Staggering back up, the Emperor had fallen behind, but not dangerously so. Surging back, the Emperor rushes straight back towards Maki. Sweeping an arm around, he doesn't slow down as he keeps charging towards Maki, not only attempting to bowl her over again, but to smash his elbow straight across her face. To bloody it. Break it.
Smash it.

"You want to make me sweat? Then try actually giving me a challenge!" Maki shouts without the slightest hint of sarcasm in her voice whatsoever. In fact, as Adon comes at her, she barely even flinches as she goes down underneath his punch. In fact it's almost like Maki saw through him before he even started his attack. And Maki's not done yet either. In fact, going down is just part of her strategy.
Maki stretches out her right foot and attempts to aim it at Adon's legs. "You're going down!" Maki calls out as she hopefully hits him.

Aiming for the legs?
Adon's aggressive charge is ducked, Maki constantly weaving and evading, her agility spiting the Emperor. "A CHALLENGE? Slow down, and let me PROVE to you the UTTER STRENGTH of my MUAY THAI MIGHT!" He screams. When the right foot comes for the kick to the legs, the Emperor reacts with automatic finesse. Bringing his other leg forward, he catches the blow, turning a quick hit into a light, deflected one.
"No, Maki, YOU shall be the ONE that GOES DOWN!"
As Maki still clings to the ground, the Emperor pushes down a hand. Attempting to pin Maki in place, he hurls down a swift rabbit punch, aiming to smash Maki right at the back of her neck and skull. A fatal blow to a lesser fighter, in might prove a nasty blow that will stun her....
And prepare for the Coup De Grace.

"That's what YOU think, Adon!" Maki shouts as she jumps away from Adon's incoming punch. That looks like it could really rack her brain, and Maki needs that to keep fighting... among other things of course. But regardless, Maki isn't going to let herself get slowed down that easily. Whether it's by fatigue or by Adon himself. She steadies herself and stares intently at Adon.
"Your words are meaningless if you can't follow through with your actions, Adon!" Maki adds, before attempting to step into close quarters. Once she's close enough, Maki will attempt to swing her tonfa upwards in a swift upper-cutting motion.
COMBATSYS: Adon parries Maki's Genkou!

And racks Adon's brain, as well.
"ggrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRAAAAAAGH!!!!!" Came the scream from the Emperor's lips as his fists hits the mat. Teeth gritting, his scream turns into laughter. "KYAHAHAH! PLEASE! You think I have endured the TORMENTS of that CLOWN of a TOURNAMENT to have some NINJA belittle my TALENTS?" Adon rips his fist up, scanning the ring. "You TIRE of my WORDS, MAKI?" He bellows as the blonde shoots in, swinging her tonfa upwards.
"Then WATCH and LEARN!"
The upward swing is caught flawlessly by the Emperor. Gripping it tightly, Adon pulls in. And just as quickly, he fires into the agile woman, attempting to throw himself on top of her. If successful, he will bring the pair of them to the ground, driving his elbow HARD into her face as the pair hit the canvas.
Adon was growing impatient.

"That was pretty good actually," Maki says, without showing the slightest hint of a smile. "Looks like I need to be careful when I use my tonfa, I'll give you that," She adds, before ducking down and rolling forwards, meaning that as Adon goes down, Maki goes forwards. She lands in a crouched position and stares at Adon with narrowed eyes.
"I can tell you're running out of patience, which is definitely a bad thing, since patience is a virtue every fighter must possess!" Maki waves her tonfa like shaking a finger at someone. "I suggest you cool it, or you might overdo it!"

And Adon flies past Maki.
"Pretty good?" The Emperor begins, stumbling to regain his foot. As he turns to the ninja, he throws his arms open. "It was the GREATEST! TRULY a mere WOMAN like yourself cannot CONCEIVE of how AWESOME my SKILLS are. Of course, the only thing a WOMAN like you could CONCEIVE is a BROODING BASTARD of some UNKNOWN FATHER!" Adon grins fiercely. He was impatient, yes.
But he still had this fight
Approaching back towards Maki with dire speed, he stops short of bowling over her. Tossing up his guard, he slowly circles the woman. Cautiously. Carefully. To the left. To the right. On the second left he begins to let out a careful, testing chain of jabs. Poking at her defenses. Chipping at them.
Finding that hole.

Maki watches carefully as Adon comes in with his rapid strikes, and uses her tonfa to knock his punches away. Hopefully that should leave him open for the time being. "You can call me a 'mere' woman if you wish, Adon, but your words don't move me." It's obvious that Maki is quite the contrast to Adon, showing quite a bit of patience and discipline, as opposed to Adon's outward and loud attitude.
Maki looks like she's about to say somethign else, but then notices the nearby ropes and gets an idea. She leaps onto one of them, and then bounces off of it, flying directly at Adon with her right foot extended in a swift kick!

Why couldn't he finish this?
Adon's grin doesn't fade, but he couldn't understand. Before, Maki was a quick and easy fight, at least as he remembered. But this time... this was a different Maki than before. Cautious. Agile. Outsmarting and outmaneuvering the emperor with every move. Gritting his teeth, the Emperor glares as his jabs can't find a hole in the defenses. As Maki perches on the ropes, he shouts back at her. "I WILL move you. I will toss you ASIDE as if you are nothing more than a piece of FOUL GARBAGE. Once I am DONE with you, then I will TRULY show you the GREAT MUAY THAI MIGHT!"
"AND with your BROKEN BODY beneath me, MY RISE through the NEO-LEAGUE will be UNSTOPPABLE!"
As she comes firing right at him, the Emperor is ready, Throwing up his guard, he catches the blow with his forearm. Deflecting it, he stumbles back. Weakened, certainly, but not that worse for wear: He had the opening he wanted as well. Fiercely, he fires back at the ninja with a swift straight kick. No change in momentum. No over extensions. Just a straight kick to stop the woman cold.
And hopefully, knock some of that concentration out of her.

Stop Maki? Not likely.
Maki drops down quickly and steps to the side. "You're wasting your time, Adon. You should actually put some more effort into your fighting." Maki comments as she gets back up. "That's not how you throw a kick either! This is how you do it!" Maki attempts to deliver a harsh kick at Adon's gut.

Wasting his time?
Adon would very much not want to waste his time. But if this fight showed anything, Adon needed to spend more time training, and less time blathering. As his quick kick is evaded, the woman comes launching back with vicious kick straight for the gut. Adon was wise to keep his center; as the kick comes, he simply falls back to form, and pushes back as the kick comes. Dodging the kick quickly, his eye falls upon the blonde.
And then, the opening.
Adon leaps through the air as Maki recovers. Bolting through the air, both of his elbow wind back high. "If I wished to fight like a WHORE, I would ask you!" He sneers, as he attempts to land on Maki's shoulders. If successful, he will unleash both elbows down, aiming to smash in her skull.
And hopefully, shift the momentum of the fight back around.

Just who the hell do you think YOU are?!" Gritting her teeth angrily, Maki points her tonfa at Adon and says, "I'm truly going to make your regret that word, Adon! Nobody, ABSOLUTELY nobody calls ME a whore and lives to tell about it!" Maki jumps onto the turnbuckle, then attempts to grab Adon's head and then literally flip over and throw him onto the canvas.

Adon 1/------=/=======|=======\==-----\1 Maki
Impatience.
Adon's great comeback was ruined, by how stubborn Maki had clung to her defenses. She wasn't getting pinned down. What was worse, however, was how she slipped from his skull shattering blow. Landing on the ground, he was well off-balanced. Her words roll off Adon's back. But when Maki grabs him, he does not roll off. Her righteous flurry flings him hard on the ring, to the cheers of the crowd. Stunned, he raises his head up. The cheers. The pain. Maki winning.
And then, he loses it.
"GGGGRAAAAGH!" Came the scream. "HOW DARE YOU! I WILL TELL YOU WHO I AM!" Exploding up, his fists were clenched, his head burning. Eyes bloodshot, he stares at Maki, ignoring the bruises on his body. "I AM ADON! THE EMPEROR OF MUAY THAI! THE TWO TIME CHAMPION OF THE NEO-LEAGUE, TWO TIME VICTOR OVER YOU!" The Emperor's rage was unstoppable, unsatiated. He was angry. Fists still clenched, he raises them over his head. "I WILL BREAK YOU! I WILL CRUSH YOU! I WILL SHOW YOU THAT THE EMPEROR WILL NEVER BE TRIFLED WITH, YOU WHOOOOOOORE!"
And then, he charges at Maki.
He would not let her block, and heaven he would do what he could to make sure she doesn't dodge. He flips forward twice, dropping a burning heel each time, trying to drive her to the corner. After the first two heels drops, he would begin to unleash the eight limbs of Muay Thai: Bringing arm slams with punches and elbows, leg slams with kicks and knees. Trying to drive her back to the corner, when he finally reached there, he would let his rage subside by grabbing Maki.
And finish the assault by pounding her skull again the post, until either SHE or IT breaks.

Try as he may, Adon doesn't hit Maki. Even though she's running out of steam slowly and finding the canvas looking like a welcome place for a nap right now, she still manages to pull through and get out of the way of Adon's incoming attack. "You must control yourself, Adon," Maki comments. "You're only doing more harm than good." Maki steps back, reeling up against the ropes and breathing deeply.

As Adon's rage subsides, he gasps, mind reeling. Stumbling to the ropes, he turns around. Eyes locked upon the woman. Rage steeling his resolve. "Control myself? I will CONTROL you. DOMINATE YOU, and WIN!" He seethes. Leaning against the ropes, he composes himself. Refocuses himself
And readies himself for the agile fighter.

"MY ATTITUDE?"
Adon's sneer is almost ready for Maki. When she finally comes roaring in, the Emperor cackles. "My ATTITUDE is that I WILL WIN no matter what! If you have a PROBLEM with it..." He begins, before the tonfa comes. Stiffening his body, he tightens his form as it hits upside his head.
And just as promptly, he leans back, gripping her wrist.
Thrusting the foot HARD into Maki's gut, he slams it viciously into the woman, twisting it hard right into the vital organs. Still clutching the wrist, he just grinds it in more. To hurt her. To make it hurt.
To make it bleed.
Maki goes down to the canvas on her stomach, clutching it in pain as she grits her teeth and tries not to let it get the best of her. She silently scolds herself for being so stupid. Inside, most likely something is bleeding, if not close enough to bleeding, while on the outside it's plain to see that Maki may have bitten off more than she can chew. But for Maki, winning or losing is not what matters right now. Right now, what matters is fighting to the end and seeing it through.
"All right, Adon, I admit I got over my head there, but this time, things will be different!" Maki slowly backs away from Adon, and starts to glow a little. Then, she leaps onto the ropes, takes a deep breath, and then flies at Adon, this time attempting to drive her sneaker into him as she flies at him!

And Adon is struck.
The Emperor gasps in pain, his body burning. The kick was hardly a pain. But the energy tears through him. He feel old. Weak. Slow. And clearly fallen behind. Groaning in agony, he stumbles. "N-n-no!" He screams, on his back. Gingerly, he scrambles up, before falling down again. Staggering, he forces up. "No... It can't be.... I can't be different. I... I must..." Lurching towards Maki, he seems just ready to pass out....
Before flipping forward, in a heel drop aimed right for that torso, hoping his fake out ruse worked..

Sorry, Adon, but Maki's seen enough fake-outs to know how to spot them often enough. She jumps backwards, avoiding his kick entirely and then looks at Adon. "You were able to laugh that off, I'm impressed. But I can't say that this is going to go on for much longer. One of us has to get worn out soon enough." Although Maki's not entirely one to talk, since she's trying to catch her breath and is sweating a bit more than before.
"Still, I must admire your skills, since I've never gone this long against you. Shows how much we've learned about each other," Maki then adds, before attempting to spin her tonfa around quickly and quickly strike Adon.

The fake out? Nubbed.
The carefully calculated strike? Avoided.
Adon was running out of options. As he lands on the ground, his mind jolted to life. Focusing to attention, he had that last boost. He wasn't going to lose. He couldn't lose. He was the EMPEROR of MUAY THAI. This was his easy ENTRANCE to the competition. His mind dead alert, he was ready for the next attack.
But being alert comes all to naught to a lightning fast smash upside the Emperor's head.
Knocked fumbling through the air, the Emperor is send flying to the corner of the ring. Landing against the post, he catches it. He couldn't see. He was effectively unconscious, by the time he flings through the air, bounding off the post. There wouldn't be any landing, just a dead tumble. But as his leg juts out, the kamikaze assault was well intended to bring Maki down with him. As he screams the attack, he attempts to collide with Maki, before hitting the ground in a drunken, broken tumble into darkness.

"Sorry, Adon, but you lost this time," Maki says as she rolls underneath Adon's last ditch attack. "You fought rather well. In fact, you were just as challenging as I remember. But we can't always win." With that, Maki drops to one knee, the fatigue of the fight finally bringing her down. "I've learned quite a bit, namely how to time my movements so I don't always get caught by your attacks. This was very helpful."
Maki gives a slight thumbs up and a smile. "Thanks again for the challenge. Hopefully next time, we'll have learned more new tactics, because I look forward to challenging you again." With that, the crowd starts cheering and Maki waves a little before being helped to her corner to be tended to.
COMBATSYS: Maki has ended the fight here.
