Description: The Sidewalk Cafe becomes a little windier and a little colder, as Chiyoko and Brett throw down int he final days of the NDP season. The result is quick, but explosive with an ending out of nowhere. (Winner: Brett)
Chiyoko is walking through Southtown apparently looking a bit less energetic than usual as she heads towards the location of the fight with her surrogate father Dr. Hayashi, currently going by the surname Hisakawa or at least he's trying to. "So this is the place, hm?" he says looking about, "Much better than that trap we found..." and sits down at a table at the cafe as Chiyoko stands near him, both of them apparently waiting for the next challenger to come.
Brett is already here, the sidewalk cordoned off for the most part for the match with cameras already set up. And the hockey fighter...he's doing his usual routine, a count here and there to make sure everything is in order. "Helmet...check...pads...check....skates..." He stops when he hears the sound of someone else speaking and blinks. "Oh...hey," he says, recognizing Chiyoko from the park that one day. He doesn't really know here that well considering each of them were more concerned with Cammy than anything, but...it's still good to see a familiar face.
"So...um...you're my opponent, huh?" he asks, rubbing the back of his neck. "Good luck then, huh?" He offers, smiling toward the rather odd looking girl best he can.
Chiyoko slowly walks over towards Brett and says, "Oh, hi." with a smile, "I think I remember you... You were in the park, right?" then takes up a fighting stance as she says, "So... How well do you know Cammy?" she says before pausing, then saying, "Oh! You can start any time you want." and nods towards him affirmatively.
Brett nods to Chiyoko as she remembers him from that day as well. He tries to get through his pre-fight checklist, but gets sidetracked with that question to him. "Huh? Um...not very, I guess, though, I wanna know more," he says, coughing rather quickly as if to cover something up. "A-a-anyway..." he says, finishing up his checklist post-haste before taking his stick up.
Driving it down to the ground with a crack on the sidewalk, he lets out a low exhale. At first, it looks like steam is coming from his mouth...but rather, it's his breath condensing, the air around him suddenly cold enough to do that apparently. "Ready...." he says lowly to the official, eyes drawn in and focused, his 'game face' on. He waits for the signal...and when it comes, he's out of the gate quick, trying to barrel toward Chiyoko with a sprint on his skates. Normally, he'd use this chance to skate around and build up speed....but this time? He comes straight forward, charging and slashing out toward her side with the heel of his stick as he drives on by.

Chiyoko stands still for a bit, apparently trying to gauge what direction Brett is coming from before she tries to jump out of the way, but does so a bit too late and gets hit by the stick rather hard in spite of her efforts. She then steps off to the side and says, "I showed her some things and she got upset... Do you know why? I showed her things about my powers but she didn't like it." before she spins around and tries to make a kick at Brett's gut.

Unfortunately for Chiyoko, Brett doesn't seem to be very talkative once the fight is underway. It looks like he's one of those folks who focuses 100%, rather than exchanges banter like some. Unfortunately for Brett, that doesn't save him from taking a hard kick to the stomach as he pivots around and tries to make another pass. "Guhhhnnnn..." he grunts, gritting his teeth before trying to renew his sprint.
He doesn't get much room to pick up speed, but he still tries to hook his stick around high around the pale girl's neck. He doesn't stop as he tries to hook her, just hoping to use that momentum to help pull her down to the ground.

Chiyoko raises her arms and braces herself against the stick before she uses that momentum to push forward and make two spinning kicks towards Brett with a third outward kick saying, "Yah!" as she tries to get him to fall a bit further back, "You didn't answer my question!" she says apparently a bit disappointed by Brett's lack of banter or conversation.

Brett indeed didn't answer...and from the looks, he's probably not going to answer now either. It might take a while for those who don't know how Brett tends to approach a fight to figure out that he won't be talking much until after the fith is over. When his stick catches on Chiyoko's arms rather than her neck, Brett's forced to quickly pull away and take a pitch around again, hooking around on the sidewalk before coming around again. This time, he meets the triple kick from Chiyoko, forced to bring his arms and stick up to take the shots. He manages to absorb the first set, before reeling around to avoid the second before pumping his legs again.
Trying to make up the speed he lost from that hit, he renews his skate around before turning around again. With more speed built up, he charges straight at Chiyoko again. Momentum built, he barrels forward, then suddenly pitches over, trying to flip himself straight at the younger girl and drive his skake heels straight into her from above with a somersault strike.

Chiyoko tries to bend backwards but not before the skates hit her in the face as she falls back before she says, "Fine! Be that way, I'll get you to talk if I have to!" as she jumps back as a psychic gauntlet similar to the ones that Cammy and the dolls wear appears over her fist before she punches out into the air as the gauntlet slips off her hand and flies over towards Brett.

Brett 1/-----==/=======|=======\==-----\1 Chiyoko
The blast of energy in the form of a gauntlet shoots toward Brett, the winger coming back around to his wheels after landing that heavy skate shot. While he's forced to recover a bit after throwing himself into it totally, he manages to get some speed back, just in time to charge straight into the blast. Brow furrowed, he doesn't even try to muster a defense. He just plows straight toward it.
It seems like a mistake, the way it blasts him back at first. Despite nearly bucking backwards though, he stays on his feet, pushing himself in again. He doesn't speak, but he does manage a rather fierce shout as he comes forward, blue energy forming a thin presence around his hands and his stick. The air cools rapidly, as he nears, and slashes out hard toward Munin, trying to sweep his stick up and across for a chilly strike across the psi's chest.

Chiyoko forms yet another psychic gauntlet on her arm as she places her arm against the blast, apparently bracing herself against it and rolling with the motion before she tries to weave back and forth, apparently waiting and trying to find a good position to start something from.
COMBATSYS: Chiyoko focuses on her next action.

Brett 0/-------/----===|=======\===----\1 Chiyoko
Gritting his teeth as his attempted slashing is parried away, Brett doesn't let up. Even as Chiyoko manages to deflect his blow and backs up to try and find an opening, the hockey fighter is putting on pressure. He may have lost momentum from the parry, but it still doesn't keep him from going forward. Pulling his stick into one arm, he tries to reach out and jam the butt of his stick straight into her chest, trying to use the extra reach of his stick to get a hold of her. "NGHhaahh!"

Chiyoko places her arm against the stick and lets it push her back harmlessly before she stares at Brett and says, "Alright... This just might be over! I'll try not to hurt you -too- badly." as she forms glowing psychic blades on the edges of her hands before she jumps back and forth past Brett and abnormal speed for someone on foot, slashing at him from every which way before she ducks around underneath him and tries to elbow him in the chest with a spike on the end of her elbow as she says, "Hope you can take this!"

Hurt TOO badly...right. As Brett's attempted jab strikes an impenetrable guard, he finds in return a....rather sudden barrage of attacks, far too fast for him to even hope of countering or reacting to. The sudden slashing and bashing usually shouldn't be THIS bad, but...something about those energy blades just absolutely tear him apart, screams of pain following until that elbow to the chest plants him to the ground fully.
For a few seconds, it seems like he might be down for good....but slowly, he pushes himself up, wincing and shuddering. He looks ragged, but he's still managing to push himself up. "NNn..nnghhhhhhh..." he groans. Slowly, a glow around his hands and stick come again, just like before...but this time? Well, this time, he throws himself entirely into Chiyoko, slashing and hacking in his own way, trying to use all his force and energy to batter her just like she did him, knowing he's on his last legs.

Chiyoko looks at Brett and staggers a bit as the strikes hit her before she moves back, then jumps forwards and ducks down before continuing with the motion into an upward kick as she says, "Nnnh!" apparently in a decent amount of pain before falling back after the kick saying, "You... Still didn't talk." and collapsing onto the ground apparently too weak and beaten up to continue.

As worn as Brett is, he still manages his own rampage in return apparently. And when Chiyoko, with her last gasp, comes back with with that upward kick, he's only just able to stagger away from the kick, leaning away and to the side with the kick barely missing his chin. Unsteady as he is...he stays up on his legs, until the NDP official makes the official call, and declares the match over. Soon as that call out comes, it's like puppet strings are cut, the hockey kid collapsing.
"Uhghh...owwww....I'm gonna be...so sore tomorrow," he groans, finally speaking as he nearly pitches over onto his side. "G-good fight. I...you nearly tore me apart with that one...ughnn...one combination."
COMBATSYS: Brett takes no action.

COMBATSYS: Brett has ended the fight here.
Dr. Hayashi gets up from his table nearby and kneels down saying, "Chiyoko... Are you alright? Can you hear me?" as Chiyoko moans slightly and nods weakly before he sighs saying, "Good... She's in better shape than she usually is after these fights. Normally she can't react at all."
Brett groans, watching the Doctor come over from the table nearby, admist clapping from the audience and medical staff coming in to help with the usual post-fight checks. "Nnnhh....she been..nghh...having a rought time with the fights?" He asks curiously, barely able to push himself back up to a crouch on his stick, figuring it might be better to wait for the medical staff to come help him back.
"A bit, yes." Dr. Hayashi says, "Though she enjoys it, it's... Important to her, I suppose. She... Explained it to me once. Every punch she takes just drives her to fight back all the more. Every kick she makes just serves as its own reward. I don't like to see her hurt, but something like this isn't something I can stop her from doing. She'd get into fights with other people even if she wasn't in a tournament. All I can do is just try help her get into safer matches."
Brett nods. He...kind of understands how that is now, after fighting on the circuit for so long. Sure, he originally fought just to get hockey's profile up in the world, but...well, there was definitely something to that. "I hope she's alright...I never did get to answer her earlier," he notes, grunting as a few medics help him back up to his feet and slowly start leading him off to the medical carts. "Tell her maybe next time, when we're not fighting?" he says. He doesn't want to leave her hanging without any reason, after all.
