Description: The Gaia Tournament brings two unexpected fighters from other affected areas to Metro City, as Yuri and Vyle end up squaring off in the Metro City Community Center. While the fight is meant to help bring up spirits for the displaced in the City, the result seems to do nothing but bring everyone else down, even the winner.
Ever since Yuri first got the letter from her father, things haven't seemed right in the least bit. First off, her father saying that Yuri's his 'weakest son?' When she's clearly a girl?! And when she does manage to get a fight set up for the Gaia tournament, she finds herself being sent to Metro City instead of Japan. A place that looks like it's gone to hell and back several times already. Either someone got mixed up (definitely not her,) or there's something strange going on behind the scenes here. Nevertheless, Yuri finds herself devoted to doing this fight as was instructed by her father... purportedly.
When Yuri arrives at the location designated, she's totally dumbstruck by the sight of what she sees. What was once most likely a bustling community center is now badly battered and damaged, while countless people have taken refuge here with what little belongings they have, trying to make do with whatever supplies they have. As Yuri looks around the area set up for the fight, she begins to scowl a little, feeling like she's being taken advantage of in a manner similar to being used as the punchline for a bad joke. Cracking her knuckles as her eyes narrow, Yuri shifts her gaze from side to side. "All right, whoever's taking me on, you'd better come out here and show yourself! I'm not waiting around for long here!"
Vernon Cross, known better to most as the lewd, rude luchador known as Vyle, is NOT a happy man.
Not that he ever seems truly happy, mind, but the last few weeks have been especially sour for him. Not because of the end of the world, mind. He's not one to put stock in that stuff, and had been mostly seeing it as an opportunity. No, his sourness stems from his missed opportunities. Missing out on such a potential huge score in France and having it culminate in having to fight in an arena full of angry ghosts was NOT his idea of a good time after all. And while he was able to get out of that godforsaken country back to the US, it didn't seem like things were much better here.
Not for Metro City, mind, he couldn't give less of a monkey's ass about the state of the city. It was more what his next 'job' was. Being called on to fight a charity fight for the Community Center to, quote, "bring up the spirits of those displaced" was an eyeroller for him. The only reason he took the job was for a potential way to make a score (and perhaps get some good intel for the Chin).
As it was, he ends up in the middle of the ballroom of the Center, appropriated more as a shelter for folks who became his would be audience. Grumbling, especially at the total lack of a PA, he walks in and scowls at the girl he finds to be his opponent. "God, what a dump," he mutters. "Bad enough I have to fight some brat, but I can't even come in to my own music. No wonder this city is such a craphole." Yeah, he knows the 'end of the world'...he doesn't care, he's not censoring himself.
When Yuri turns around and gets a glimpse at her opponent, she can only shake her head at first, until he refers to her as a brat, and that's when Yuri's eyes go wide for a moment, before they narrow into a fiercer scowl than before. "Hey, just who do you think you're calling a brat, HUH?!" Yuri exclaims angrily. "I'll have you know that I'm not a brat! I am Yuri Sakazaki, the daughter of the founder of the Kyokugen Karate style, the best fighting art in the world!" Yuri grins a little as she raises her arm to emphasise how cool she thinks Kyokugen truly is. After that show, however, she goes back to being angry at Vyle. "And in case you didn't already figure it out, the reason this place looks so bad is because the whole world is going crazy with all its weather and the disasters that are happening!"
A pause as Yuri seems to be lost in thought about what else there is to be said. Then she looks to Vyle again and adds, "Not to mention, I didn't exactly choose to be here. I was SUPPOSED to go to Japan to fight for my wonderful dojo, but somehow those idiots running this tournament sent me here instead. Now I have to fight in front of all these poor people who don't have a place to live!" She gestures to the various people huddled here as a makeshift audience. "Normally I love showing off how cool Kyokugen is, but this isn't the same thing. So why don't we just get this over with, huh?!" With the last word coming out, Yuri gets into her fighting stance, bouncing slightly on her heels, though her usually spunky attitude is notably absent.

A small 'pfft' escapes Vyle's lips as Yuri clearly takes offense to him calling her a 'Brat'. A smirk comes as Yuri snaps off all the claims to her family's name, the smirk growning nastier and nastier as she speaks. As she tries to guilt trip him, he just looks away, idly picking at his ear with his pinky and looking about as unconcerned as he possibly could. A glance aside to her while she continues comes while he's still working at hsi ear. All his ugly mood is gone as he finds someone he can properly antagonize in the meanwhile.
"Are you done?" he asks once Yuri finally stops, pulling his finger away from his ear. "The world and disasters and all the apocalypse talk don't concern me until it concerns ME, alright? And you want to talk, try fighting in an arena full of ghosts wanting to suck your life out, and get back to me, alright?" he says, cracking his neck a bit as he turns fully toward her finally. "Besides, I know who you are, seen you in an SNF or two. Count me as totally unimpressed still. You want to talk, then talk, if not, I'm going to let out my own frustrations on a brat that needs to be spanked." He doesn't drop into a stance quite so, but it's clear by his posture he's ready to fight now.

"Well then," Yuri says as she cracks her knuckles one last time, "If you know who I am, then you must know about the style of Kyokugen Karate. There's nothing more I have to tell you!" Yuri adds, giving a quick raspberry with an eyeball to Vyle before resuming her fighting stance. She doesn't let the comments about her being a brat seem to faze her any further, at least not on the outside. But on the inside she's starting to boil up like a volcano, and that volcano's eager to be erupted on that jerk Vyle! She watches Vyle for any further signs of dialogue before deciding enough is enough, it's time to fight it out and settle this match for real.
"If you're gonna spank me, then you're gonna have a lot of difficulty doing so!" Yuri exclaims as she advances on Vyle slowly, not sure of what to expect from this guy. She doesn't want to take any unnecessary risks, having been the victim of that many times before and not wanting to let it happen again. After a moment of seemingly waiting there doing nothing, Yuri brings her fist back and attempts to drive forth a blast of chi at her opponent.

Snorting, Vyle continues to keep that loose non-stance, waiting for Yuri to make a move, knowing he's gotten under her skin. Smirking a little more, he waits, and waits, until that blast of chi is shot forward from Yuri's palm. A scowl comes as he drops into his usual stance again, arms comnig up to let the fireball splash across his guard. Wincing as the stinging feeling rushes across his skin and the impact pushes him back, he narrows his eyes toward Yuri.
"You act like I want to get anywhere near your butt. I don't know where it's been, after all," he says, before rushing in low, slithering like a snake as he tries to pick at the Kyokugen fighter's ankles and latch on. The rest of his body would then push up, trying to lift the smaller girl up bodily and toss her onto her back. That's the aim, at least.

"Then you shouldn't talk about spanking it," Yuri replies, grinning evilly as she watches Vyle come at her after the chi blast hits him. When he gets too close and drops down, Yuri jumps over him, doing a quick somersault, and then lands on her feet, spinning around on her heels and pointing at Vyle. "That was a cheap trick, trying to grab my ankles like that. And how do you even know where my feet have been, never mind my butt!" Yuri would smirk, but there's something not funny about this anymore. Namely because this is starting to feel less like what she signed up for and more like a practical joke that she's really the punch line to.
This time, Yuri refrains from speaking. She simply waits for Vyle to get up before she launches her next attack. Stepping towards the luchadore quickly, Yuri attempts to deliver a swift left punch at the side of his face. It's not very powerful, but it is rather quick.

Nimble little brat indeed. Vyle's surprised when Yuri's able to leap up over him when he tries to grab at her ankles and flip her over in a totally uncontrolled way. Scowling, he looks back over to Yuri, just in time for him to intercept a quick left aimed at his face. He manages to catch it on his hand despite the sting, sneering. "I dunno, but you know what, I know where my feet are going to be.
With that, he leaps up, trying to catch Yuri's head between his knees and flip back over, trying to toss her over with his take on the Hurricanrana and perhaps even send her flying into a wall.

"Not on me, that's for sure!" Yuri exclaims, watching with a slight look of disbelief as Vyle leaps into the air, attempting to grab her with his feet. She's seen an attack like this before, and she doesn't like it one bit. "Oh, no you don't!" Yuri says through gritted teeth, tightening herself up as if to make her head harder to get a hold of. "Get off me, you jerk!" Yuri gasps out as she struggles to breathe for a moment, before finally prying herself free from the attack. Once she's free, she takes a few more deep breaths, trying to get the air back into her lungs. "Wow, that really hurt!"
Yuri then looks to Vyle and says, "You knew where your feet were going to be, now I know where mine will be too!" She then attempts to rush at Vyle, not caring about being careful this time, and attempts to deliver a swift aerial spinning kick with a huge arc to it.

The attempt to use that hurricanrana on Yuri works less than spectacularly as the karate fighter holds her ground, irritating Vyle a bit more as he's left straining upside down, doing his best to muscle her over before slackening his grip when it's clear it won't work. THe drop back down his precipitated as Yuri forcibly pries his legs off, forcding him back into a crouch. Glowering, he moves forward, until he runs straight into that spinning kick, the shots knocking him loopy and nearly off the mat used to denote their fighting area.
Rubbing his head, he sneers. "Oh, you little..." he growls, before trying to sweep in and simply pull one of Yuri's leg out from under her. It's more of a trip than anything, but he needs the momentum at this point.

Yuri lands and grins evilly once again, although her grin is wiped off her face shortly after she does that. She tries to hop out of the way, but only gets one foot up in the nick of time. She falls flat on her face, using her palms to give herself a little protection from hitting too hard. Still, it does sting a little bit, and it leaves Yuri feeling a little more unhappy than before. "OK, that was totally not cool," Yuri says to herself slightly out loud as she pushes herself up onto her hands and knees before getting up and dusting herself off with a scowl on her face.
"Seems I underestimated you that time, or perhaps I overestimated myself," Yuri says with a sneer at Vyle. "Either way, you're not as tough as you might think! I'm capable of throwing people too, you know!" She attempts to rush in again, this time attempting to deliver a series of slaps while grappling Vyle, and then knock him away with an uppercut.

Managing to trip Yuri up, Vyle smirks and and starts to feel a little momentum swing his way. Crouching down, hands down and nearly touching the floor but not quite, he stares a hole into Yuri and grins nastily. "Not cool? Looked pretty cool to me," he says. And when she rushes in, he manages to catch the arm trying to slap him before it can hit anywhere near his face.
"Clearly. You clearly know how to throw a match," he snipes, before a gush of noxious green mist spews forth from his mouth, trying to spray it straight into YUri's face pointblank before she can do anything.

When Yuri's arm is caught, she goes wide-eyed, fearing the worst. She thinks he's going to throw her to the ground again or something like that. Not wanting to take any chances, Yuri attempts to pull her arm away, and quickly succeeds. "Oh no you don't!" Yuri exclaims, not caring what Vyle was planning to do to her next. She just wanted to get that arm away from danger before something did happen. "Throw the match? We'll see who's throwing what in a moment!" Yuri exclaims, about to throw another projectile it seems, but then she stops short as she watches what Vyle's doing.
When she senses that he's going to spit in her direction, Yuri instinctively reacts by bringing up her hands and exclaiming, "SAIHA!" An aura of chi forms around her hands, creating a barrier. That poisonous mist is not only caught by Yuri's barrier, but it also seems to reverse direction at Vyle. Even at point blank it still does the trick. "Try brushing your teeth more!" She yells with an evil grin.

TWell, that worked out spectacularly. Vyle was sure he could've gotten it right in her face from this close, especially stopping that slap cold like that. But instead, a barrier ends up thrust out from Yuri's hands, and the result is his own Venom Breath blown back into his face, his skin stained green, and burning while he feels the burn in his lungs. "GUHG...kakk...." Clearly, he's not totally immune to his own poisons.
Despite the stinging in his eyes though, he manages to glower back to Yuri. "No more games..." he sneers, another cough. Driving forward, he tries to thrust his hand straight into Yuri's gut, trying to spear her straight up with his fingers. And if Yuri was to look closer as it comes near, she might notice the thin aura of sickly green surrounding that hand...

Yuri laughs a little at that comment. "Who said we were playing games, hmmm?" Yuri grins briefly before watching as Vyle comes at her again, and this time she's noticing those fingers and how they've got some kind of aura around them. She suspects he's got something up his sleeves again, and when she feels herself getting punched in the gut, she doubles over, gasping for air and finding her ears getting watery a little as she grits her teeth, trying not to cry out from the burning sensation going through her body. She clenches her fists, trying not to drop to the ground in pain, but it's not easy. She breathes deeply, barely forcing her eyes open.
"You're a dirty fighter, you know that?!" Yuri finally exclaims, forcing her eyes open and gritting her teeth harder through the pain. "You wanna fight for real, then I'll gladly give you something like that!" She attempts to take advantage of her opponent's close proximity to deliver a modified version of the famous dragon punch, with her own spin on it. Even while she's in pain, Yuri still manages to put on a good show.

Vyle 0/-------/-----==|=======\-------\1 Yuri
A nasty grin crosses Vyle's face after that stabbing shot to the gut happens, the look in YUri's eyes as he withdraws his chi-covered hand clearly giving him heart. "Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of your pain," he says, savoring the struggle she takes as the feeling courses through her body. Backing up, he tries to give her room, knowing she'll be happy to try and lash back out in turn.
The resulting uppercut is almost a gimmie for him, grinning wider when she sweeps in. As her fist raises up, his body turns around compeltely, head nearly sweeping the ground as his leg lashes out to crack Yuri with a sharp upward kick to knock her into the air. THe Low ceiling means he doesn't have far to pursue, leaping up to his hands against the ceiling, then using that to push straight into Yuri. Catching his shin on her throat, he uses that momentum to drag her down into a severe impact onto the floor again, nearly sandwiching her head between the ground and his leg.
When Yuri is caught off-guard big time by that attack, she finds herself in a lot of pain. After all has been said and done, she finds herself lying flat on her stomach, in a world of hurt, only compounded by the poison surging through her. She struggles to get up, finding the poison making her body feel numb at times. Even then, she steadies herself a little then finally gets back up onto her feet, finding her legs a little wobbly from what happened. After a few staggers from side to side, Yuri slaps her face a few times as if trying to get herself back into the present moment.
Even after she's been focused again, her vision is still a little blurry. She tries to steady herself, then almost falls over, but gets herself back on her feet again. She steps forward, then stops as she almost trips again, before bringing both hands back and sending forth a HUGE blast of chi this time.

Vyle 0/-------/-----==|=======\-------\1 Yuri
Shaking himself off after that huge Relapse, Vyle waits to see if Yuri is going to get up. He's pretty sure she still has fight in her, but you never know...sometimes you just crush a person's soul that badly that they just don't bother getting up. It's hard to tell whether he's happy or mad that she eventually does get up, but he does back up, waiting to see what she does as she slaps sense back into herself. "Awww, wakey wakey, eggs and bakey," he taunts.
Like poking a lion with a stick, the result is her tossing back a huge blast of chi toward him once she gets her feet steadied again. However, the time it took for her to get it all settled is the opening he looked for, skittering to the side of the giant blast and pushing in after it passes by him. "Hah!" A little laugh he allows himself before he tries to grab hold of one of Yuri's arms with his legs. Almost like he did with his Viper Coil, but instead, he seems intent on just hanging onto it, and hyperextending it as much as possible.

Even in her weakened state, Yuri still manages to put on a strong stance and a look of bravery. It's more than just a look, though, as Vyle attempts to grab at Yuri and pull on her leg. Unfortunately, Yuri doesn't like to have her leg pulled, whether literally or figuratively. Her leg goes stiff and she manages to keep it like that until she can break free from Vyle's grasp. She staggers back again, almost losing her balance and gasping for air once again. This poison is really doing a number on her and her vision. She rubs at her eyes a few more times.
"No... I need serum... anything!" Yuri gasps, starting to sweat from the venom coursing through her veins. Then she spies a bottle. It's just full of water, but Yuri, in her haste, thinks it's serum. She opens the bottle and gulps down the water.

The attempted armbar doesn't quite latch on quite so well, Yuri having a bit too much fight in her for Vyle to keep her down completely. That's fine though, he knows the poor girl is still hurting enough that he doesn't need to go immediately for the kill just yet. Smirking a little, he rolls away, watching as Yuri struggles with her balance and begs for something to drink down.
"Awww, baby want her bottle?" he continues to taunt, watching her chug the thing down. Not wanting to give her TOO much room to breathe, he runs up after her, trying to dropkick her in the back before she can finish up that bottle.

Just as Yuri finishes drinking her water, she turns to find Vyle coming at her from behind. She throws the bottle aside and tries to duck down, but gets hit hard. She falls forward onto the ground again, splatting like a pancake. She groans a little, mentally kicking herself for being so stupid as to let her guard down like that, then struggles to get back up again. As she's getting up, she turns to face Vyle and sneers at him. "You have a lot of nerve calling me a baby!" She clenches her fists, albeit slightly weakly, since that poison has done a bit of a number on her body, as has the beating she's been going through.
"But this baby isn't just going to throw a tantrum, you know!" Yuri attempts to lift her leg up and bend it, almost like she wants to do a knee strike, then straightens it out quickly, aiming at Vyle's stomach instead.

His expression just growing nastier and nastier as he manages to keep harrassing Yuri, Vyle enjoys the flattening Yuri takes after his dropkick. Rolling up to his feet, his resistence to his own poison finally taking effect, he continues to loom over Yuri with all the evil intentions in the world naked on his face. The attempted feinted front kick is caught either way, elbow managing to drop down to cushion the blow as he skids back a bit from the strike.
Knowing he's sufficiently under her skin, Vyle doesn't return with another taunt, instead just trying to slip along Yuri's side and wrap his arms around her head and neck. The sleeper hold might be a classic, but it's a classic for a reason: it's pretty dang effective. And unless Yuri does something, she might find out just how effective it can be when it robs you of blood to your brain.

Vyle 0/-------/---====|=======\===----\1 Yuri
Yuri attempts to get her bearings straight and defend against the incoming sleeper hold, but it's no use. She finds that she's being held tightly by Vyle and her brain is being robbed of blood and oxygen. She struggles to keep from passing out, but as she struggles more, it feels like she's drifting off into dreamland. She finds herself feeling almost like she's high as a kite, yet something inside her reminds her this is not the time to be taking a nap. She collapses to the mat, looking like her eyes are rolled into the back of her head, until she shakes her head and groggily tries to get up, while babbling all the same. "Unh... I thought today school was closed... couldn't I sleep in till lunch?" She babbles a little as she gets up, looking like she's really been out of it for awhile.
Yet, that one part of her mind that remains active reminds her of what she's doing here, but she still thinks it's a dream. "Unnh... destroy you..." Yuri says as she shakes her head, trying to get the clouds out. In a moment of brief clarity, Yuri gets her bearings long enough to try to summon her chi and send forth a series of large chi blasts at Vyle.

Managing to cinch the hold in tight, Vyle doesn't let it go despite her struggles until she's nearly limp, managing to pull her down to the ground and almost choke her out until she's completely out and babbling deliriously. Smirking, he backs away, making sure whether she's out completely or not. However, when she pops back up to her feet, he's not TOO concerned. She still seems way out of it. That assured look drains from his face as he sees that huge ball of chi summoned between her hands. And when the first shot is followed by another, he's forced into quick rolls, keeping him on his toes as he escapes each blast by the skin of his teeth.
Heart racing now, he quickly tries to drive toward Yuri, hoping to scoop her up and simply heft her up into the air from around her waist in what wrestling parlance would call a 'Belly-to-Belly Suplex'. And while he's no powerhouse wrestler, he still knows his way around a suplex.

Weakened and dazed, Yuri finds herself missing with her attack, but her staggering causes her to avoid being hit by Vyle as well. She still manages to keep her head awake, but it's still in the clouds all the same. Hence the reason why she gives a weak thumbs up and a slight smirk, before turning to face Vyle again. "It's time to wake up," Yuri babbles nonsensically as she attempts to give him a good elbow strike.

The attempted grab and suplex is slipped away from, and Vyle ends up overcommitting enough that he's unable to to recover enough to avoid the pop to the face, the shot nearly sending him stumbling back into a group of people huddled together near a few blankets. Scowling as he catches himself on a wall, he looks back down to them. "What are you looking at?" he snaps, before pushing himself back toward Yuri.
Surging forward again, he flies through the air, trying to loop an arm around her neck as he jumps toward her. If he's able to grab on, he'd just hook said arm around her neck and drag her down to the ground in a hard looking neckbreaker drop. Not totally fancy, but hey, rudos tend to be more grounded of the luchadors anyhow.

Yuri is too tired to do anything but be caught by Vyle. Even as she's caught, she finds herself losing consciousness as she heads for the ground. Incredibly, though, almost like she's forgotten she's supposed to be out cold, she gets up one last time and sends forth one last blast of chi, before falling flat on her face for real.

Dragging Yuri down to the ground with that neckbreaker, Vyle manages to pop up rather gingerly, the momentum all his way at this point. Turning around, he waits to see if Yuri still has a last gasp, and when the chi ball sends up tossed his way again, he manages to flatten himself down underneath the shot, letting it fly and disappate against the wall behind him. PUshing himself back up, he seems ready for another go...but Yuri ends up flat out, and this time, she doesn't get back up.
Snorting, he gestures for someone to ring the bell....but there's no bell to ring. Instead, he sees the people around him, the ones taking shelter her. And the look of despair they have on. And somehow, he finds himself....well...depressed. "...hey, ain't no one gonna react?" he asks, muttering. But eveyrone else seems too brought down by their situation, and having the 'villain' win the fight meant to help bring up their spirits just makes them more despondent. And that's when it hits Vyle just how kinda bad things are.
Lowering his arms, he seems...deflated. "...christ," he mutters, making his way toward the door. ALmost like the fight took all the character out of him, rendering him merely Vernon Cross. Maybe there is something to this 'apocalypse' **** if even MEtro City has people this empty.
