Neo League 976 - #982: Murderhouse vs Yuri

Description: Kyokugen's Poster Child meets Pro Wrestling's Unwanted Bastard in a vicious fight to the finish. Everybody gets set on fire.



It's a fine day for a Neo League fight. Especially since it's at the dojo of the Kyokugen Karate style, and Yuri Sakazaki is always eager to spread the word about how awesome the style is, and how more people should try it out. Or, at least that's how things should be, because today, it seems Yuri is not the same girl that she usually is. Instead, she's in a very grumpy mood.

"Dad won't let me train for my next belt level? I know that I'm ready, in fact I've seen students younger than me get their black belt with less skills than I know! Hmmph! What does he know?!" Yuri spots the cameras and lights, and while she tries to lighten up a little, it's not easy. Then a slight smile forms on her face. "Oh, I'm being challenged, am I?" Then a big grin forms on her face. "This is totally awesome! I can not only show everyone the glory of Kyokugen Karate AND prove to my father that I'm ready to test for my next belt!" Yuri rushes into the center of the fighting area, eagerly awaiting her opponent.

Yeah, Mick hadn't been in the spotlight in a while. Really, he'd been taking care of business elsewhere. But he couldn't ignore the feeling of blood spraying against his fists and the shock of driving someone's skull into the ground for very long. And so here he was, strapping that gleaming white hockey mask to his face, long black hair coming down to cover half of it. Wearing jeans, a simple black sleeveless shirt, flannel overshirt and those padded fingerless gloves(not to mention those steel-toed boots), the seven footer looked ready for business as he stalked across the front grounds. Slung across his shoulder was a dirty duffel bag, and those who knew Mick, knew that what lay inside were tools of the trade, things that would cause a lot of pain for his opponent...or maybe himself.

"Alright, I'm fuckin' here. Who's the poof I'm hurting today, huh?"

When Mick makes his appearance in the fighting area, some people would probably gaze at him with widened eyes, given the size of him in comparison to the petite little Yuri. But when Yuri spots her opponent, she doesn't falter in the least bit. In fact, she's not scared in the least bit. She simply grins at her opponent.

"Hello! You must be my opponent today," Yuri says with a cheerful smile. "You look big and tough, but the bigger they are, the harder they fall!" She looks down as she cracks her knuckles in anticipation of the fight, and then she looks up again. "I'm gonna prove that Kyokugen Karate is the best in the world, and I'm gonna prove that I'm ready to test for my next level belt! I hope you're watching Dad!" Yuri grins and gives a thumbs up with a wink to the cameras, before casually stepping into the fighting area. "Well, I'm ready when you are!"

Rolling his neck in such a way that it popped and crackled, Mick didn't stop walking. While Yuri kept talking, he simply shrugged the bag off of his shoulder, letting it hit the ground with a heavy thud, and as she spoke, he merely snorted and thrust his long leg out in a vicious kick aimed right at Yuri's sternum.

"I'm ready."

"Good, because this is where the fun really begins!" Yuri exclaims as she assumes her fighting stance, a Karate-style stance but where she bounces on her heels when she's standing still. Then again, one can't call that standing still, can they? Oh well.

"Oooh, hard hitting are we?" Yuri asks with a smile as she brings up her arms to protect her sternum and deflect the foot away. "That was a pretty good kick, but let me show you a better one!" Yuri jumps into the air and spins around like a Hurricane Kick, albeit in more of an arch than a direct kick. "Ready or not, here I come!

Mick backed up a bit as the kick deflected, scrambling and finding his balance. It was important as a wrestler, almost as important as your physical power. As he did he watched Yuri spin and arch her foot, and almost lazily brought up his meaty right forearm to let it connect against that streaking strike.

"Just shut up and fucking fight, kid."

He almost sounded annoyed, as he grabbed at that extended foot of Yuri, to hopefully have her land and hopping on just one leg...if that worked he'd fling her by that limb, trying to slam her facedown into the hard ground. And he wasn't holding back. At all.

"I'm ready to fight! Bring it on!" Yuri grins even more as she waits for the next attack from Mick. She has a surprise for him in the form of her favorite attack, her own version of the famous Dragon Punch. Except she's forgotten that some people don't always like surprises. And this is something that Yuri is reminded of in a big way!

Before she can even start her dash, she's grabbed and flung away. Even then, she still manages to roll onto the ground and land in a crouched position. "Looks like I mistimed myself there. I hope Dad didn't see that!" Yuri says nervously as she scratches the back of her head. If she could, she'd also sweatdrop.

If he could, he'd be grinning. Which he was. Because he wasn't even watching her as she rolled and landed, he just stormed right up to one of the camera men. With a heavy shove some working slob was knocked backward on his ass, and the Seven Foot Irish Monster(TM) grabbed the tripod of that massive heavy camera, like some sort of lopsided javelin. He turned lazily and belted it as hard as he can where he thought Yuri was, wanting to see if he could break some of her teeth while he was at it.

"Maybe he'll see this!"

As Yuri is dusting herself off a little, she looks up and sees that Mick is apparently resorting to using whatever means necessary to win this battle. When he grabs the camera, Yuri scowls and says, "Hey, be careful! That stuff is expensive, you know!" She puts her hands on her hips briefly, before opening her eyes wider as the camera is flung at her.

"OK, now you've really gone and done it!" Yuri exclaims as she brings her fists up in front of her. "Saiha!" She exclaims, bringing up a field of energy around her fists, wihch acts as a reflective shield. The camera is deflected away... and headed back at Mick. "Hey, catch!" Yuri yells with a raspberry.

"Well...shit!"

Alright, that didn't go according to plan, even as a big, heavy box of pain was hurtling right at his face. he didn't panic he just reached up to grab the base below it before it smashed into him...and he grabbed the base, but it not in time to keep it from cracking from the impact, and he saw birdies for a moment. He staggered back a step before bringing the damaged camera down, and glaring at the little girl who did that to him...

"Very funny. My turn now."

And he was charging at her, blitzing and swinging that camera by it's tripod. Aiming for her face, he wanted to make sure she was ready for her close-up!

"Funny is in the eye of the beholder!" Yuri says with an evil grin. "You're only not finding it funny because I've got the upper hand over you!" And when that camera comes flying at Yuri, she doesn't flinch or go wide-eyed. Instead, she simply smirks and rolls underneath the flying camera without any difficulty.

"I told you, that equipment is expensive!" Yuri then adds as she gets back up. "Since you haven't learned your lesson, I'm gonna have to punish you!" Yuri rushes at Mick and, if successful, will slap him across the face several times, then uppercut him!

"Punish me, huh? Go ahea-"

Well, that was as far as he got, before a bare palm connected against that rough hockeymask of his. It repeated a few more times before bare knuckles connected with the leather strap covering his chin. She didn't knock him off his feet, but she did stagger him a bit, walking backwards and looking straight up from the blow...before his head snapped back down, and he glared at her with those unblinking eyes of his. No irises, just pupils, black dots fixed right on her.

"Do that again."

Yuri jumps away after finishing her attack. It didn't fully work as it should have given how big Mick is, but it still did some damage. Not to mention, his attempt to stop her backfired. This causes a smirk from Yuri as she puts her hands on her hips. "Come on, do you really think you're going to win like that?"

Yuri returns to her stance, and starts to advance, but then stops. "I hope you know what it means to be patient, because that's one of the key principles of being disciplined!" She continues to stand there, bouncing on her heels and watching her opponent carefully.

The big man just nodded, not because he was agreeing, it just seemed to be something he did without noticing or caring. One thing he did do however, was begin to stalk back and forth, watching her the whole time as he worked at his flannel. Unbuttoning the sleeves and ripping it off of him where the sleeves had caught on his elbow pads. Soon, it was off and balled up and he threw it at her feet violently. There were no words, no taunts, none of that, he just seemed to be pacing, and waiting on her. Maybe he was taking her advice? Maybe, though, it was something else entirely...

"Littering?" Yuri asks as she kicks the 'trash' away. "You are not exactly the type of person that I'd consider to be nice around here." She shakes her head firmly. "I'm afraid that people like you aren't exactly the type who I'd want to see here in my dojo." Sure, it's her father's, but Yuri is the spokesgirl for it!

"So here, I've been working on this one for awhile, and hopefully I've gotten the hang of it." Yuri begins to focus her powers into her hands, glowing more and more, and then sends forth a large fireball while calling out, "Haoh Sho Ko Ken!" Is it more improved? Let's wait and see.

Of course, this wasn't the first time Mick had been set on fire. It wasn't the first time he'd been shot with some sort of energy since signing up to be a professional fighter, either. But goddammit, it still hurt. A big ball of flames smashed into his chest before he had a chance to sidestep it, and soon he was almost entirely engulfed in flames. He looked like Burning Man, quite frankly...but he didn't stop moving. He approached her quickly, even breaking out into a run as he tried to wrap an arm around her throat, and grab her in a vicious sleeper-hold. If he did, he'd lift her 'up' so that her feet dangled off the ground, not even slowing down for the flames dancing on his flesh and singing that white mask of his...

Mick should really be used to being on fire. After all, he's got a red hot temper. Not to mention, something like that isn't going to catch Yuri that easily. She ducks down quickly and shakes her head.

"Tsk, tsk, you need to be more careful when dealing with me!" Yuri says as she rolls away from her opponent. "If you wanna beat me, you need to take it easy and think things over more carefully!" Yuri smiles as she looks at Mick.

"And if you want to keep your face, you might want to shut your hole."

It was true, Mick was a bit frustrated, he always disliked the speedier combatants, even as he decided to give up the heavier hits and try for a lighter strategy. As she stood there next to him, he shot out his left fist in a basic jab, aimed at her face...this would be followed by a series of the same, trying to bludgeon those features before the real attack hit, an open-handed uppercut, aimed right for her throat. A suckerpunch that should take a little of her uppity obnoxiousness out of her-if it hit...

"Me? Be quiet? That's not how I am!" Yuri exclaims with a big grin. "I'm always chatty!" And that jab that comes at her is merely deflected away, leaving her face completely untouched. And it's a good thing too, since Yuri likes her face the way it is.

"That's not how you punch someone!" Yuri steps into her standard stance and clenches her fist tighter. "THIS is how you throw a punch!" She then attempts to deliver a swift punch towards Mick. Not that powerful, but it does have speed on its side.

That white mask was smidged and blackened a little from the flames that by now have dissipated, and Yuri might feel the heat from it as her bare knuckles impact against the mouth holes. His head barely moves back and his eyes don't even blink from the minor hit. His own fist comes up in immediate retaliation, trying to bury itself against the side of her skull.

"Ohh, you mean like -this-?!"

True, he wasn't doing so well in this fight so far, but that was alright. All he needed were a few good hits and this bitch would be hearing church bells every time she cleaned her ears!

"That's it, just like--" Yuri is cut off as she gets punched, and she stumbles backwards, apparently underestimating her opponent once again. She holds the side of her head and attempts to shake out the stars that are swirling around. "Yeah, just like that!" Yuri says in a slap-happy voice, before shaking off everything and staring at Mick once again.

"Now that you know more about how Kyokugen practitioners punch, and I'm hoping Dad saw how well I can punch, I'm going to show you something more!" Yuri brings her arm back, and then sends forth a blast of chi aimed at Mick.

"Yeah, what are you-"

He got interrupted by a blast of...something slamming into his chest, staggering him and almost making him fall...but he just shook his head, rubbed his chest through his ruined shirt a little, and adjusted his right elbow pad, a huge honkin' piece of equipment while he snarled. No words, just glaring right at the little girl as he ripped the remainder of that fabric from his chest and shoulders...he was ready, preparing himself for whatever she'd throw at him next...

"Don't tell me you've had enough already," Yuri says as she watches her opponent go down. "Ooh, trying to look scary now, are we?" Yuri asks as she's stared at. "I don't think so. You don't scare me!" Delivering another raspberry, Yuri steps back a little. "After all, it's the bigger ones who fall harder!" She chuckles as she returns to her fighting stance.

After a moment of waiting, Yuri says, "Wait, aren't you going to come at me? Are you trying to test me?" She chuckles again. "Sorry, but I don't go for that."

Mick wasn't amused by this, and chose instead to stride over to where Yuri was standing, throwing caution to the wind. He mobbed toward her quickly, throwing another kick. But this one was aiming low, trying to smash against the side of her knee, or thigh, enough pain to hopefully motivate Yuri to act and do something. She might also hear him scoff in disgust underneath his hockeymask. It was clear this wasn't a 'friendly fight' for him...

Friendly it definitely isn't. Yuri adopts a defensive stance, but it backfires on her since she misjudges her opponent and finds herself getting kicked in the leg, and reels back, hopping up and down on her good leg while holding the injured one, all while crying out in pain repeatedly. Just like a cartoon character, except most cartoon characters don't attempt to retaliate in a big way when they're hit like that. But Yuri does!

"You jerk, now you've made me mad!" Yuri takes a breath and blows it out. "You're gonna see what happens to people who make me mad! And you aren't gonna like it!" Yuri brings both hands back and focuses on them, then sends forth several large fireball-like projectiles, one after another, aimed right at Mick!

"Well...shit."

It was all Mick could say as the small girl all of a sudden launched a series of blasts right at him. With not a lot of time to react, he simply put his head down and brought his arms up in a boxing guard. He simply braced himself for the onslaught that hit his bare skin, that singed and damaged his gear that he still wore, though thankfully his jeans, boots and hockeymask managed to stay on. And the vibrations from the impacts staggered him back each time, battering him like he was a walnut in a blender.

But it took more than that to crack "MURDERHOUSE" Mick, and the moment it stopped, the big man shook his arms and blitzed toward the small girl.

"My turn!"

That's what he'd say as he grabbed at her, trying to hoist her up and put her on his shoulders, and if this worked he'd leap, impossibly high into the air...

Now, why was there a table set on fire, a bit away from where they were fighting? Who set it on fire? Who set it up, period? Mick didn't, he clearly had just arrived here and started fighting. Clearly Yuri wouldn't do such a thing at her own dojo. Did one of the camera men do this? These were all good questions that would go unanswered, as if this worked, Yuri's head, neck and shoulders would go smashing through the wood and fire, and into the ground beneath it. HARD.

How did that table catch on fire? How did it get like that? Now is not the time to be asking such questions. Because Yuri is going for a ride... a huge ride! And she's going sky high, higher, higher, then comes crashing down onto the ground, burning up badly. In fact, she hits the ground hard, her uniform starting to catch on fire. Now she's really burning up! And it looks like she's failed here too.

In that last moment before she passes out, Yuri attempts to leave one last mark on Mick. Just as she stands up, and starts to stagger a little, almost like that boxer who wants to get back into it but just can't, Yuri glows one last time, then rushes at Mick, attempting to deliver a super-powered version of her uppercut attack.

He hit the ground just as hard as Yuri, and it was a testament to the man's training that he was able to get up at all...he slowly rolled to a sitting position, almost unaware of where the girl was. But he felt her all the same, getting to one knee and turning his head just in time to see her blitzing toward him, her fist aimed right for his face. He tensed himself and brought his guard up partially, but it didn't matter much, her fist smashed against the right eye of his mask, which crumbled and partially shattered from the impact. And Mick hit the ground hard, rolling and landing on his side.

"Damn..."

He lied there a moment, gathering his strength before pushing himself to hands and knees. He'd be unable to fight for a bit after this, but eventually he'd look on this victory with pride. Just as soon as his ears stopped ringing, at least. And he stopped seeing three of everything...

COMBATSYS: MURDERHOUSE has ended the fight here.
