SNF 2012.07 - SNF: Bear Neccessities

Description: Heihachi begins the fight taunting Shenwoo, before his complete ignorance of Yuri leads to a disastrous series of unfortunate events that nearly defeats him. When Shenwoo drops, Yuri faces one of the strongest men alive with a sliver of vitality... and a sliver is all he needed! (Winner: Heihachi)



Needlessly flashy, garrish, likely over-priced, this joint was exactly Shenwoo's style. So much so that he was too busy living it up that he might have forgotten why he was here in the first place.

Thankfully, the resort had the presence of mind to pay someone to haul a... slightly hung over Shenwoo out of his hotel, clean him up, dress him in whatever looked the least worn of his wardrobe, and toss him into the ring... Literally.

Four men, one holding each limb, rock Shenwoo back and forth between them before they let him fly, sending him sailing unceremoniously into the ring, his body flopping against the flagstones like a corpse cast into the street.

Of course he is not dead, he just needs a little encouragement. Thankfully, he gets it. His face just happens to be located over one of several fountains. Seconds tick by and the geyser fires off, a jet of illuminated water blasting him in the face and bringing the back street brawler to a sputtering start. He jolts up to his feet with a angered roar and takes a swing at the stream of water only to have it die away before he can connect.

He is left, wet and bleary, glaring around at the gathered. His head pounds, he's angry. He might not even realize he's here for a fight but someone's sure as hell is about to get punched.

Meanwhile, Yuri Sakazaki has already made her way into the ring, with a huge somersault into the ring that is. She lands in a crouched position and then stands up, adjusting herself while tightening her brown belt, a belt she hopes soon to have replaced with a black belt. After that, she begins to warm up, using the geysers as a way of challenging herself as she gets her blood flowing... untill one of the geysers does hit her.

"Ahh! No!" Yuri cries out as she goes into the air, before landing on her rear, albeit with a backwards roll. She's not hurt, but she is a bit washed up, and she's not thrilled about it. "All right," Yuri says angrily, "Where's the fighter we're supposed to be taking on? I'm not about to catch a cold waiting for him!"

Rich places. You can get bored of them, after a few decades. Heihachi has seen every sight that is worth seeing, and indulged in every vice that is worth indulging, and at this point the entire ritual is by rote. It is why he has become rather more eccentric; he demands new experiences, not the same old pleasures, which is hardly what the top end of finances generally offers. And where is the figurehead of Mishima Zaibatsu? Laughing at the moment, behind Shenwoo. "So you can be defeated by mere water?!" He is standing outside the designated area that Yuri continues to practice, atop one of the ledges housing the fountains. Arms are crossed, and a familiar expression is on the two-pronged face. A challenge from someone arrogant, and thirsty for battle. "Maybe you should come back in a couple decades, shrimp. When I'm in a wheelchair, you'll have a better chance!!"

Yuri's shrill cry of dismay sends iron nail stabbing through his skull, his features twist in pain and aggitation as he whirls towards the newly soaked girl, he hoped she had something on that wouldn't turn translucent when wet, otherwise this fight won't be the only exhibition that the gathered crowd would see. Besides, creep-stareing at girls was Ash's thing! "Oy, keep it down or I'll po-" the threat that his wagging fist was accompanying was never finished, he was interrupted, interrupted by laughter.

It is not as loud as Yuri's shriek but, somehow, it is more annoying. Shenwoo reels around, wagging fist dropped to his side along with it's mate as he lays eyes on Heihachi. Had he done even a ounce of research, he would have known that this was his opponent. He has a faint clue, the fighting pajamas that his type wear is always a give away. "Bastard..." grates Shenwoo, clearly ignoring the fact that Heihachi was speaking to Yuri instead of himself. "Who the hell-" he starts before erupting in a sudden charge, bare feet sending him rocketing across the slick flagstones, his fist reeled back and cocked like the firing pin of a revolver. "DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LAUGHING AT?!"

His roar is followed by the punch, fist sent crashing forward with all of the care and caution of a truck with a cut break line. His knuckles veer in towards the leathery stretch of Heihachi's face... some kind of face-seeking fist-missile.

As soon as Yuri gets a good look at Heihachi, her eyes go wide with disbelief. She can't believe that this is the guy she and Shenwoo are going to be taking on together. He looks very old, and very tough also. In fact, just looking at him might make the average fighter cringe. But despite her small size and young age, Yuri doesn't flinch at the sight of Heihachi.

"Just a minute! Who are you calling a shrimp?!" Yuri exclaims, folding her arms as well, albeit in her own style as opposed to mocking Heihachi. "I may look small, but you're obviously forgetting the fact that big things come in small packages! In fact, this brown belt is soon going to be replaced by a black belt!" She then smiles an evil grin as she puts her hands on her hips and proclaims, "I am Yuri Sakazaki, and I am the princess of Kyokugen Karate!" She gets into her fighting stance, but she doesn't strike just yet, apparently giving Heihachi a good look-over.

Heihachi is old. However, he is also pure muscle; his biceps might be as thick around as Yuri's waist, although given the prodigious size of her rump this could be an understatement. A sudden leap takes the black gi-clad man into the center of the ring, landing heavily as both are riled up. "Ohh? Tch. Kyokugen... you're from that upstart young one Takuma? Then that belt is worthless!!" Of course, now he notices that an angry God of War is launching towards him, and turns to give him the attention deserved. And it hits his cheek, dead on. There's a loud CRACK as if two stone blocks were banged together. Wind and kinetic force blows behind for two meters. And he did not move an inch. "Oye... let an old man talk..." Oh, wait. He did. One hand is finished swishing out, attempting to grasp Shenwoo by the face and then yank him into a headlock!!

And a moment later, Shenwoo's entire bloodflow to his head is completely cut off, locked against steel cabled arms and unrelenting pectoral. Before Heihachi's free hand erupts into chi, and he laughs while applying a /violent noogie./ This actually hurts incredibly bad, outside the whole strangling aspect. And then he suddenly lets go, only for an explosive lightning-infused sidekick to be sent into Shenwoo's midsection, to hopefully send him bouncing along the ring in the opposite direction!!

The punch of the God of Battle crashes against Heihachi's cheek, a rush of air billows through Shenwoo's unbuttoned, violet shirt, plucking at his necklace and tugging at the damp legs of his pants. The ire that Shenwoo had felt a moment ago... evaporates. His heart skips a beat, his breath catches in his lunges, his eyes widen from their angry narrow. He's strong. He's very strong.

A giddy tremble surges through Shenwoo, his face nearly splits, a mad expression of glee knifing across his features, so many teeth. His lips close just long enough to issue a appraising whistle.

"You're a tough old buzzard, arn't you, Gram-" he begins only to have Heihachi loop a arm around the back of his neck and haul Shenwoo to his side like a rowdy uncle to a sassy nephew.

Shenwoo looses a choked complaint before those chi-infused knuckles begin to grind against his skull, the crackle of energy surges through the brawlers body, his complaint twisted into a pained, garbled, gibbering as he tries to pry himself free to little avail.

it all ends with that donkey kick that sends Shenwoo tumbling away like a child, bouncing against the slick stones and then over onto the shallow, black wall. He smacks against the barricade erected for the crowd, smoke lifting up from his bopdy, hair standing ram-rod straight atop his head like a field of golden needles.

Oh... that hurt. It takes Shenwoo a moment to lift himself up, prying himself off of the ground and climbing drunkenly to his feet. He is hunched, head hanging, arms dangling... his body jags, a giggle bubbling up as he looms upwards, spine straightening as the laughter continues. He's smiling, smiling like a devil. "Oy! That one stung, Grampa!" he howled giddily, sweeping a hand through his hair to try and put some order to the mess. "I think I like you."

Yuri is forgotten, if she wants to watch, fine! There's more Grampa for Shenwoo! With another cackle, the Mad Brawler of Shanghai erupts into another charge, lunging across the distance in a fool hardy charge, l;eft arm coming around in a quick strike at the man's jaw.

"Upstart? Just WHO the hell do you think you are to use THAT word about my father?!" If it wasn't obvious before, it's definitely undeniable that Yuri's really pissed off now. "Nobody says such blasphemy about Kyokugen! NOBODY! No exceptions, not even to tough guys like you!" You have to admire Yuri, being so courageous and blunt in the face of such a tough guy like Heihachi.

"My partner here and I are gonna make you regret saying what you have about the Kyokugen Karate style!" Yuri then adds as she rushes in fast, watching Heihachi carefully as she knows he's definitely capable of anything. She then attempts to fake him out and then go low with a swift uppercut.

Heihachi is almost playful with Shenwoo, grinning towards him still. They have a similar soul. A desire for violent fights and powerful opponents. Of course, one is at the end of that journey, and th e other still travels it. Mayhaps one day, the God of Battle can proudly sport two prongs of hair, too. But this means he vastly underestimated the power in such a simple punch. A hand moves to catch it once more, but this time it shoots past. Heihachi's eyes widen in surprise, before he's slugged in the face true. This time he slides a foot backwards, upper body twisting away, grunting of pain leaving him. His lip is split, a dab revealing blood. "Hahaha... HAHAHA!! You can take a hit and make me bleed!! You'll be fun..."
He has literally no interest at all in Yuri at the moment. She's essentially trying to fake out a statue, given he assumes a stance facing Shenwoo. His hand swiftly bats out however, deflecting the uppercut at the last moment like one would swat a fly. "So... I'll show you a proper hit, too...!!" And then Heihachi explodes forward, right arm surging with electricity. One foot stomps an imprint into the ground before Shenwoo, before he unleashes a brutal uppercut, crackling with lightning. Trying to send both himself and the God of Battle into the sky... but where petty Ansatsuken would stop there, he'd then explode with lightning again, roaring as he unleashes a SECOND uppercut, going even higher!!

Shenwoo will never have gull wing hair. HE WILL SOONER GO BALD!

Shenwoo's foolish charge rewards hime with the sight of blood, his swift charge and swifter punch was worth coming in so close. Grampa laughs, Shenwoo smiles wildly, "I was just thinking the same thing, Grampa!" the Mad Boxer retorts, reeling back for another, slugging blow! He would stand here all day and just trade punches if he could, if he could just manage to keep his feet from suffering through Heihachi's blows. He feels the earth shiver beneath his feet with the planting of the old man's foot. He makes no effort to escape, he trusts his own guts to see him through the blow so that he might deal one of his own. His trust may have been somewhat poorly placed.

The fist drives up into his jawline, he is unable to weather it as well as he had hoped, stars flash across his eyes and he feels himself become weightless following the shocking blow. He sails upwards, agog, unaware that a second blow was following.

A clap of thunder a terrible roar, he is struck again, cast higher into the air, another burst of electrical ki coursing through him. He is vaguely aware of motion, he reached the top of his aerial arc and now gravity seeks to reclaim him, a lover jealous of losing him to the tempting embrace of the sky.

He crashs back to earth, the slick, hard arena floor doing little to soften the landing, he bounces just once before he comes to a momentary rest.

Oh... that hurt too! He is slower to rise this time. A hand braces against the cold stone and he uses it to lever himself up, planting a knee beneath him, using it to get a foot on the ground. He stands, wavering, swaying back and forth on his feet, having to reaffirm his stance lest he fall over, "You..." he drawls harshly, blinking to try and keep the world from swimming around him. "That one stung... bastard." he slurred.... and then he charged again. It is clumsy, he threatens to topple over at any stray step, his feet slip and struggle to keep him upright. He closes, hands joining and lifting overhead. With hands entwined in a single fist, he strikes, trying to bring them down like a sledge hammer over Heihachi's head.

It's amazing how Shenwoo is getting all the attention from Heihachi, while Yuri is being ignored. To her, it's an insult since he thinks that she's not as strong as Shenwoo. But between her courage and the fact she's been insulted by Heihachi, it's not wise to write Yuri out of the fight just yet. In fact, you might say she was just finishing her warm-up, and now she's really fighting for keeps now. No more Miss Nice Girl!

Unfortunately for Heihachi, her anger grows even more when she watches Shenwoo get knocked across the area with an electrified punch. Yet that doesn't discourage her in the least bit. In fact, when she sees Shenwoo get back up, she smiles a little, before turning back to Heihachi. "That looked pretty painful, but it's nothing compared to my personal uppercut attack. But I'm not gonna show you that just yet!"

Yuri plants her feet into the ground and closes her eyes, focusing her chi into her body as she attempts to focus her energy into her fists. When it gets to the right point, Yuri brings her fists forward and sends forth a large fireball, all while calling out, "HAOH SHO KO KEN!"

Shenwoo          2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=------\-------\0             Yuri


Well. Yuri has proved one thing for certain; completely ignoring her is a bad idea. She's an insect in Heihachi's mind, and those only deserve attention when buzzing too close. Descending to land heavily in a crouch after the technique, slowly the Mishima prodigy comes back to his feet, shoulder rolling slowly as he spits to the side. "Hah. Am I playing too rough?!" All the confidence in the world can be rather quickly snuffed out, however. Shenwoo has leapt right into the lion's jaws. Both hands flare with blue energy, and with a sadistic grin he is poised to catch the incoming fist.
But it is then that the massive fireball is whirling towards him. "What?!" He can't follow through with an attack while being hit!! He let his guard down far too much around Yuri, and now he pays for it. Painfully. With no ability to defend himself from the fireball, it explodes on his back, scorching away his black gi and stumbling him forward. The hammerfist downwards thus slips completely past Heihachi's guard, and strikes him in the top of the head.
Slam. Heihachi is knocked clean off his feet, face first. Slowly he raises, blood streaming down his face from the wound inflicted. But now the humor appears to be completely gone!!

Thanks to Yuri's timely intervention, Shenwoo is left standing for once in the three exchanges he has had with Heihachi thus far, "Oy, finally getting into the fight?" he jeered towards her, taking just enough time to jabber while he dragged a knuckle across his lower jaw, "I was begining to think you were just some crazy broad that had tripped into my fight." he added with a smile that hitched up more at one side than another.

He wheeled back around towards Heihachi, the man standing now, a intense look in his eyes. It made Shenwoo's heart quicken once more. His eyes grew wide, his pupils contracted... and he smile, "Hoo." he uttered in mock surprise, "What's this face, Grampa? You're getting serious now?" he asked, madness and battle lust dancing in his eyes. "Good, you're strong... Really strong! I haven't fought someone as strong as you in ages... This is good, this is great!" he cackles, smiling like a wolf that's snuck into the flock of sheep. "YOU'RE NOT TIRED YET ARE YOU, GRANDPA, YOU CAN KEEP FIGHTING, RIGHT?! C'MON, ONE MORE, WHADDYA SAY, HUH?! LET'S GIVE IT ALL WE'VE GOT!" he roared, hands flashing wildly through the air as he gestured in time with his fevered demands.

His fists drew back and there was a sudden shock of power as his heart flowed into his balled fist, his entire soul enfusing each knuckle. There was a pulse, a geyser that had just sprung up bent away, he lunged, rushing through the space between, almost drug along behind his fist. If the one prior to this was a missile, this was surely a orbital nuke of face punches!

"ZETSU! GEKIKEN!"

Both Shenwoo and Yuri have landed a solid attack against Heihachi. Looks like he's really mad too. It's times like this when Yuri shifts to a style where she tries to keep an eye on her opponent's overall behavior. She's made the mistake of getting arrogant when her opponent has gotten worn down, and they've come back and made her pay for it big time. So even though Yuri's gotten Heihachi down, with Shenwoo's help of course, she's not slowing down either.

"Nice job!" Yuri says to Shenwoo, before getting into her fighting stance properly again. "It's on now! We're gonna finish this once and for all!" Yuri takes a breath and blows it out, then rushes at Heihachi, attempting to deliver her own customized version of the Dragon Punch attack.

It's rather late in the fight to no longer hold back, but Heihachi is still going to at least do one thing. Take out Shenwoo. Growling heavily, he simply stands between the pair, slowly cracking his neck. Shenwoo is riding the high only one near defeat can manage, but the same cannot be true for the Mishima. He has been relentlessly thumped despite his efforts, and simply being able to stand after all is said and done speaks wonders. "Oh... I had you. I had you good, boy... but the girl got in the way. Annoyances are all Kyokugen is for..!!" He twists around, managing to deflect Yuri's assault before suddenly being slammed right in the face. Blood spatters in the air as a stumble backwards follows. Before one foot stamps, and he doesn't fall. "Hah... hahaha!! Such love taps!!" And then he lunges forward, sweeping out an elbow and dropping it right towards Shenwoo's shoulder before moving to violently shove him to the ground right in front of him. "But a mongoose playing with a cobra can get bit... I'll make sure one of you pays!"

Shenwoo          1/--<<<<</<<<<<<<|-------\-------\0             Yuri


The man's old but quick and powerful, Shenwoo wades forward even as heihachi pushes in, his left hand is balled and conming in from a low angle to catch the man with the gull-winged hair in the side of the head. The elbow that comes crashing down on Shenwoo's shoulder has other ideas however, he tried to simply guts through it but it was too much. Shenwoo's knees buckle beneath him, the fist flies around shallow. It does nothing to quench his joy however. Heihachi may have lost that loving feeling, but not Shenwoo. After ages out of the big event, he got to fight someone strong. It's what keeps that smile glued to him, broad and wolfish. It does not falter when that hand slams, open pal, into his sternum and sends him sailing backwards once more. It is a shorter flight than the previous two, his body hits the flagstones just a yard away... Only this time, he isn't getting up.

He lies still after the initial jostel of impact, a groan and a tensing of his body as he fights for conciousness, desperately trying to battle back the darkness creeping in from the corners of conciousness. Not because of any rightreous determination to win... he just wanted to keep fighting!

Sadly, not today, he stills, body relaxing.

K.O.

As Shenwoo goes down to the ground, Yuri goes wide-eyed. "NO!" She exclaims, before turning to Heihachi, realizing that it's all up to her now. "You ignored me for too long. You can fight me as much as you want, but I'm not gonna make it as easy as my partner did for you!" Yuri adjusts her hair briefly, almost an arrogant gesture to him.

"You can do what you want, but I'll be ready!" She steps back and plants her feet into the ground, waiting to see what Heihachi is going to do to her now.

With a slow exhale, Heihachi looks genuinely relieved when Shenwoo collapses to the ground and does not rise for a final attack. Tch. He went easy on the old man; that certainly won't do. But things can be settled later. "I'll give you a fight next time that'll live in your soul the rest of your life, God of Battle. But first..." Heihachi then collapses into a sit, resting his hands upon his knees and yawning heavily. "Let me have a breather... you'll give an old man a moment, won't you? My body just isn't what it used to be..." His expression however is a sneer, lacking even the slightest ounce of compassion or mercy.

Sitting down and resting like that would make the average person think that it's the perfect time to strike, since you'd never expect them to recover that fast. But Yuri has seen ruses like this so many times it's not even funny. "Trying to be funny?" Yuri asks while lowering one eyebrow deeper than the other. "You couldn't even make a hyena laugh!" Yuri is about to make a gesture, when she thinks better of it.

"I hope you've had a good rest, because we're playing a game of catch now!" Yuri leaps up into the air, and then sends forth a fireball directly at Heihachi, who may or may not be able to catch it. But that matters not to Yuri as she calls out, "Catch this!"

Except it turns out to be a fake-out! Yuri then lands on the ground and grins. "Fooled you! Here's the real catcher!" Yuri then brings forth a real fireball this time while calling out, "Ko'ou Ken!"

There's no real reaction from Heihachi as Yuri opts to attack him regardless. "Aww. You didn't buy it?" He pushes to his feet without any sign of fatigue, although the intended recovery is quite genuine. Rolling a shoulder slowly, he observes the incoming fireball before suddenly ducking down and kicking forward. It heavily grazes his shoulder and singes some hair, but then he is before Yuri. One elbow dropping down with incredible force, trying to slam her into the ground. "What is it with wanna-be styles and their little balls of energy? You win a battle by crushing someone!! And there's no better weapon for that then your own body!!"

COMBATSYS: Heihachi successfully hits Yuri with Aggressive Strike.

Before Yuri can even blink, Heihachi is upon her like a giant. Even her father had never gotten upon her like that during testing before. Thinking as fast as she can, Yuri attempts to block against Heihachi's incoming elbow, but the old giant is harder and faster than she is. She goes down to the ground, getting hit for the first time during this match. Flattened like a pancake? Not quite.

Yuri manages to use a kippup to get back onto her feet. Before she looked normal, but now she's got a bruise on her face, and she's slouched over a little. "Our body can be used to fight, that's true, but you don't use it to kill other people!" Yuri exclaims with a voice that indicates she's having some trouble breathing after that hit. "You don't know what you're doing!" Yuri follows this up with a swift forward thrust kick.

COMBATSYS: Heihachi counters Light Kick from Yuri with Heaven's Wrath.
*KNOCKED AWAY*

"Killing...? Oh, you are one of those sorts. Ha!" Heihachi comments, as she then rushes forward and flexes his hand. "I will attack with all my force, brat!! Whether you die or not... that isn't my concern!!" And he proves such by whirling his hands with chi. The incoming kick is caught, and suddenly he strikes out with a chi-imbued knee, striking Yuri in the stomach. At the same moment his forearm strikes down, slamming into the back of her head with explosive force. And then with a growl he whirls and flings her away, twisting to stand opposite. "Whether you are an inch from defeating me or a thousand miles... you are fifty years too early to win!!"

Who? Where? What is it? Where did that train go? When did this start spinning?

That's the general mindset of Yuri as she curls up in a ball while the pain overcomes her body, her mind barely there as she tries to get the room to stop spinning. She tries to get up, but everywhere she looks, nothing seems to be standing still. She looks topsy-turvy as she gets up, literally staggering around like a drunken person.

"Ungh... why are we on a merry-go-round?" Yuri asks as she attempts to focus herself. "When did we get to Disney World?" Yet, in her daze, she somehow spots Heihachi. "Oh, you again?" She's too out of it to do anything... for now.

Then something comes over her, and she slaps her face with both hands. "Come on, Yuri! Snap out of it!" She says to herself as she struggles to come back to reality.

COMBATSYS: Yuri takes no action.

Heihachi does not relent even the slightest. He is rocketing forward suddenly, before again he is standing right before the staggered Yuri. "Go to sleep!!" he roars out, snapping his hand to catch her by the hair. And then in a single, violent SLAM moves to deliver her a lightning-infused headbutt, with the intent of sending her flying away across the ground! "All you did here was ruin my fight...!!"

COMBATSYS: Yuri interrupts Stonehead from Heihachi with Shin! Chou Upper.

Yuri may have ruined the fight, but with the last remaining bit of her mind remaining, she attempts to launch into a souped up version of her special uppercut attack. Unfortunately, just as it connects, Yuri is sent sailing across the fighting area, smashing into a nearby wall, crumpling to the ground and then curling up into a fetal position. Usually, this is where Yuri makes one last remark, but she's too out cold to do anything like that.

The fist impacts Heihachi right in his face. That was actually one more hit then he expected she'd make in a direct battle. He's knocked backwards a few steps, blearily gazing at where Yuri ended up. A snort follows, reeling a moment but still able to stand. "Spunk. That's all Kyokugen is even based on..." He approaches the fallen girl, and then grasps her by the head. "BUT THAT WON'T FORGIVE RUINING MY FUN!!" And then he hurls her violently towards one of the fountains. Approaching Shenwoo, Heihachi then looms over the fallen fighter. "I think you need a bit more incentive to come at me again, God of Battle..." Grasping him by the face, Heihachi then hefts him up like a limp doll. And /smashes/ his face down into the floor of the ring. Cracks through the stone explode in all directions, and with any luck the friendly message will be passed on. "Waste of my time!!" Brushing past the SNF officials, the Zaibatsu head moves to leave without another word!

COMBATSYS: Heihachi has ended the fight here.
