Scene #4164: Schoolyard Brawl: Real PK

Owner	Pose
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo Kawakami says, "It's a nice and bright, sunny day at Kawakami Academy, perfect for our first Multiversal Kawakami Battle. Today we're introducing our Multiversal citizens to Kawakami's warrior culture. As a result we have Hideo Kuki challenging Kazuko Kawakami! He is, of course, looking to get her to promise a date! This has been going on for quite some time and poor Wanko's really nervous about it! So brings us to the main event: Real PK! 'PK' stands for Player Killing. This event requires people with strength, people with wisdom, and people with both! I will announce the rules once the teams are decided! Those who are going to Class F behind Kazuko Kawakami with the common students, raise your hands!!"
Sagat	Going to this much trouble to ask someone for a date? Sagat shakes his head quietly, smirking - more to himself than anyone else, admittedly. The Emperor of Muay Thai has been away for a while, wandering the Multiverse and pursuing more training opportunities; it's more luck than anything that he'd wandered back to Kawakami City when he did. To find this. Well, if Hideo thinks he can get enough muscle in his corner to live up to the challenge, far be it from Sagat to let the Kawakami sisters down. To that end, Sagat steps up to stand near Kazuko, casually raising a hand to signify that yes, he is indeed backing up Momoyo's 'puppy' of a younger sister.
A-ko Magami	Something like this seems like something out of a movie or anime for A-ko Magami. But nevertheless, she decides to join in on everything as she's arrived in the area on her way home from school apparently, given that she's wearing her school uniform. But then there's the issue that she's often seen wearing that, so it's almost like a standard battle uniform for her. (Sakura Kasugano, eat your heart out!) Along with Sagat, A-ko steps up to join Kauzko as well. She runs a hand through her hair before looking for the opposing team. "No one's gonna stop us now!" She says. "They don't know what they're up against!"
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo sits at the announcer's table beside the field, her ankles crossed as she sits at the announcer's table. "And so! We have our first team! Second-year Kazuko Kawakami! First-year student Eve! Sagat, a chaperone! Ela'Ashbel, a tourist! A-ko Magami, a student from another world on a field trip to Kawakami!" The crowd cheers as Yamato, Yukie, Shiina, Capt. and Gakuto stand off to the side. While they wanted to help Kazuko, doggie wanted to show her new friends Kawakami City, after all. The crowd of students in Class F are especially excited to see Sagat, because he looks extremely strong and intimidating. Usually Class S is the ones with those sorts of people.
Nero	Hideo Kuki sat upon his throne, clearly not going to engage in combat unless down to the very last moment. His grin is wide, a confident chuckle following. "Hmhmhm...! Let it be known that I, Hideo Kuki, does not do things half heartedly!" He swings out an arm, directing it towards...Kazuko. "Miss Kazuko! Today is the day that you finally accept my hand and become my queen!" And it's at that moment that footsteps sound, moving forward and coming to stand in front of Hideo's encampment. "Indeed!" Well that's a familiar voice. It's Nero! She's on Hideo's side!? Her green eyes burn with barely contained passion and her smile is as imperious as ever. "I, Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, have heard your call, Hideo Kuki, and I shall answer it in kind!" She looks over Team F, her eyes settling on Kazuko. "Lady Kazuko! Such unrelenting passion cannot go unanswered! You shall date this man, for it is as fate has decreed! Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" Oh no. NERO IS ON TEAM S
Karian Icefang	Karian makes his way in, surprisingly without his usual guard or even his giant wolf. He looks over as he hears Nero and simply rubs his temples. "Allfather, give me strength..." He mutters. Still, he was there on the same team, though in truth he really didn't understand why.
Alden	Alden was drawn mostly due to curiosity, not really aware of what kind of place Kawakami Academi was, but the idea of the battle sounded interesting, he would use the practice, and perhaps meet more people!. And thus, the gabumon is amidst the students and other multiversal warriors, feeling even tinier than normal, what with Sagat and Karian being around. Maybe if he knew more about the situation, he might reconsider which team, but that ship sailed!. He simply approaches Karian, wondering just what he is getting into.
Ela'Ashbel	Kazuko's force would be joined by the myseterious traveller and secret defender of the multiverse from chaos, Ela'Ashbel! Primarily silent in a noteably grim fashion, the mighty farseer of Kaelor waits nearby, helmet cradled beneath one arm and dangerous witchspear in the other. "They are a loud lot, aren't they?" She states to no one in particular even as she surveys the future battlefield from afar.
Kazuko Kawakami	Saying that Kazuko's nervous would be underselling it, really. Going on dates is something other people do! Plus... It's Hideo. Not that that's a bad thing, but still. It's just something other people do, not her! She tenses up when she hears Hideo shouting as well, offering him an awkward smile a slow wave. "Erk... Hi, Hideo. N... Not if our team beats yours! Which we are!" The adopted daughter of the Kawakami Temple has more tact than to just shut him down bluntly, at least, and this way? She can use the contest as an excuse while still letting him keep his pride! That's why she's dressed and ready for school-sanctioned combat today, having brought her replica naginata with her while donning her school's gym uniform. "Thanks for coming, everyone! We'll show class S the real power of hard work!" She shouts to those gathered in front of her with a broad grin. Sure, they might not technically be students of the Academy, but... ...Does this still count as Class S against Class F? Nero gets a loooong look from the martial artist when she arrives, her boisterous boasting apparently matching Hideo's in volume and confidence! If nothing else, it can't go that much worse.
Eve	Eve is not impressed. As in quite visibly not impressed. Hideo Kuki, thinking he can get what he wants simply by using force, doesn't impress her. She glowers at him, standing fast beside her teammate and friend. Nero's declaration doesn't impress her either. If anything her glower gets even more severe. Nero's will in this is perhaps more acceptable than Kuki's, but Nero's also helping to try to force Kazuko against her will. Will, to Eve, has to be paramount over anything else. She very much doesn't approve of slavery. She bears no real ill-will to any of her opponents here, so long as they're only here to play in a game. But for those who want to make it personal, Eve will be happy to get personal.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa had not been involved in any real fighting tournment or matches before save as an announcer for WMAT but this would be a good experiance for hwer she knows who her team is and she's now forming up with the space marine, ghost emperior of Rome and a Digimon. "So this is ... going to be fun."
Kutsuuko Shiratori	Don't ask how Kutsuuko got roped into this. Just don't. All she can really do right now is feel sorry for Momoyo's little sister being picked on (unusbtly by Momoyo herself to a fair degree here), and vague heebie jeebies being on school grounds right out of one of Kouta's fifty year old anime DVDs (read: set in the mysterious, distant past where trees and public roads were a thing.). She's practically dragging her God Arc behind her, feeling completely absurd for bringing the exotic heavy weaponry to a schoolyard, even with full knowledge she can set it non-lethally without too much worry. Is she getting paid for this? She actually can't remember.
Momoyo Kawakami	"Alright, teams." Momoyo calls out, after having announced the members of each team as chosen by their team captains, Kazuko and Nero-Hideo... those two of one mind! Even Azumi was remarkably and noticeably respectful to Nero. "We're going to give each team 100 points. You have 5 rounds to win, whoever has the most goals after 5 rounds wins the game. Each team has a negotiator and a kicker/goalie every round, chosen randomly by this computer beside me. Negotiators place bets and whoever has the most points gets to attack while the enemy goalie endures the kicker's attack. If you tie, you have a 2 versus 2 free for all brawl for 60 seconds. After five rounds, the goals are tallied!"
Momoyo Kawakami	For the first team negotiators: Kazuko and Kutsuuko! For the kicker and goalie: A-ko and Kotone!
Kazuko Kawakami	Kazuko blinks. /She's/ going to be the first negotiator? The martial artist gathers her team up for a huddle, doing her best to try gauge both A-ko's and Kotone's capabilities at a glance, a bit of discussion... And then she returns with a number! Also, she's grinning widely at Kutsuuko. "Let's make this a good match!" She's also trying very hard not to look anywhere near Hideo.
Kutsuuko Shiratori	Ugh. Put the responsibility on her first why don't you? Normally Kutsuuko is actually good at this kind of thing too; team oversight and coordination, but it's significantly less engaging when she's literally picking children (and burly adult men?) to line up and take turns punching each other. That said, she doesn't seem to even want to huddle on this. She's had two looks and then immediately punches a number to Momoyo's PC through her armlet, blandly confident in a little bit of game theory.
Momoyo Kawakami	Leaning in closer to her sister, she nods quietly. She leans back toward Kutsuuko as well, and then nods, sending both back to their teams. "Class F: 12 points! Class S: 15 points! Class S's kicker Kotone gets to attack A-ko!"
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa sees how it's time for thematch to start she up to be a kicker it looks like all right she grins for a moment as she look to A-ko and the young cybog moves in to give her one hell of an agumented kick without holding back.
Kazuko Kawakami	Kazuko cringes lightly when she hears the results being called out, and she offers A-ko an apologetic frown. "Erk.. Sorry, A-ko!"
Eve	Eve's strategy is sound enough, it seems. "If we save our points for defense, then they can't score goals. That way we win. Right?" she declares to her team in a burst of logic. And perhaps mercy.
A-ko Magami	A-ko stands strong and waits for her opponent to approach. When Kotone comes at her, A-ko narrows her eyes and says, "Come on! I'm ready for you!" She waits for Kotone to come at her, before blocking the kick with seemingly little effort. Although after she blocks, she shakes her arms and says, "Ouch! That hurt a little!" It's not sarcastic either.
Sagat	Since his name didn't come up to take an active role this round, Sagat joins in the strategic betting consultation, but basically just stands back and watches apart from that. Neither A-ko nor Kotone particularly look like much to him, but then, that means a stunningly low amount in the Multiverse. Eve's observation earns a slight nod from the Muay Thai fighter, "Indeed. And I know that if I'm our goalie, you won't need to bid that much in my defense ..." Still, Class S just bid a full 15 points. If they bid that much on both 'offense' and 'defense' every round, they'll run out pretty quickly ...
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo chuckles, seemingly enjoying herself watching the chaos ensuing. These Multiversers were getting a great education in how Kawakami culture works. The reactions on everyone's faces were beyond hilarious to her, but she was a radio personality and an announcer. Tossing her hair lightly, she leans in. "And Kotone goes for a vicious strike at A-ko. It seems A-ko was able to keep her knee off the ground! No point for Class S! Round 1, over!"
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo Kawakami says, "Negotiators: A-ko and Nero! Kickers and goalies, Alden and Sagat!"
Alden	Alden simply followed the others on the team, and took notes of the rules on his D-Arc, "I hope I understood this." he says softly. Since he realizes this might be a rather rough... kind of encounter, he decides to not waste time. To keep it short, there is a flash of light, and suddenly, there is a large werewolf! of a sort. He winces at the chaos and the strikes. "Wow... I think some digimon back at home might like this game." When his name is called as a kicker, he moves forward. He is not really sure he is ready for this, but tries to not look too... nervous as he takes his position.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa Does not do so well but she looks suprised as A-ko. She nods once and backs off as it's now but she sees that Sagat has entered and if he watched it Kotone was kicking withb more force than you expect someone of her build to though the skill is lacking, the power is /there.
Kazuko Kawakami	Kazuko lets out a relived sigh as A-ko comes back over not looking too much worse for wear, and she gathers up with her team again! "This one's gonna be a good one..." She murmurs, glancing between Sagat and Alden a few times. She's still trying not to look directly at Hideo.
Eve	Eve sizes up Sagat and Alden. She's not one to approve of the strong bullying the weak, but... well, this is for Kazuko's freedom! Poor Alden's going to have to endure his fate.
Nero	Hideo is looking directly at Kazuko. He's smiling like someone who's already won the battle. ...Good luck, Wanko.
Sagat	Kicker or goalie, it makes little difference to Sagat; when his name is called, he confers briefly with his team, then draws himself up straight and heads towards midfield, or wherever the actual clash will occur. And once again, he doesn't look like he's letting his judgment of Alden's prospective strength be overly colored by the Digimon's size relative to, in this case, his own. There's no telling what bizarre abilities Alden might break out. And if Sagat notices the way Hideo's looking at Kazuko? He's at least disciplined enough not to show his own opinion of the overly-entitled little punk.
A-ko Magami	Returning from the fray, A-ko smiles to her them then looks on. "Go for it!" She cheers for her teammate in the fray.
Momoyo Kawakami	Azumi jumps up and down cheerily, the strange looking maid with an excessively happy smile. "Yayyyyy Hideo-sama, continue to shine as the brightest sun and burn down your enemies!" *~
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo inputs the bets given into the computer, shaking her head just a bit. Her lips quirk in a wry grin. "Class F! 10 points!" ... "Class S: 1 point! Class F attacks!"
Ela'Ashbel	Ela'Ashbel stands patiently, waiting and watching. "This will be interesting..." She sizes up Sagat and Alden, but for someone like her, appearanes are nothing, at least not in the present.
Nero	Nero stands there, smiling like a warlord who just made a genius move. Her arms are crossed and she watches as the results are announced. There is a ...method to this madness, right? "......" She's not saying a word.
Sagat	Sagat smirks briefly. "Normally I would offer to hold back, but ... TIGER KNEE!!" And he launches himself forward, knee-first, as if he means to see just how breakable that horn is. Momoyo (having fought him) and possibly Kazuko (who watched) would likely be able to tell that yes, Sagat is actually holding back. Somewhat.
Momoyo Kawakami	Kazama Shoichi, aka Capt jumps up and down. "YEAH!!! Win it for us, as the heroes! Go eyepatch guy!!"
Momoyo Kawakami	The audience murmurs, "Real PK... what a sadistic event..."
Alden	The digimon does not seem too pleased when he hears the bids, but... he is sure he can handle whatever Sagat can throw at him! he CAN'T be that strong right?. That confidence fades when the large fighter basically launches at him knee first, and smacks him right on the head. He falls down, not quite expecting that kind of hit. Of course, he is ok, mostly, and picks himself up a moment later, rubbing his jaws, "Good hit." he mumbles, before staggering out of the goal area to rest a bit and recover before he is called again.
Momoyo Kawakami	"My condolences, Alden. Sagat is no joke! Good work!!!" she tilts her head. "Now I will be calling out the next round for Round 3! This is where the match heats up! Round 3 decides every game of Real PK! Teams, get ready!"
Momoyo Kawakami	Negotiators: Eve and Kutsuuko! Fighters: Sagat and Kotone! Please confer with your teams and tell me your bets! The match is heating up here!
Sagat	Sagat makes his way back to his team's 'bench' area, looking just a little smug. Only a little. ... then his name comes up AGAIN and, with a laugh and a shrug, he lingers just long enough to confer with his teammates before heading back to midfield. Again. He's actually grinning by this point.
Kutsuuko Shiratori	God dammit, again? After just seeing Alden having to be brave enough to take that to the face, Kutsuuko isn't feeling so good about ordering these kids (and digimon) into colonial firing lines to smash each other's lights out. Is this actually what they do at this school? It's probably more fair with kids who are all the same age, but still . . . This time there is some brief conference with her team (and probably less so Nero after that), before the next number goes in, the God Eater frowning visibly at the choice.
Eve	Eve sizes up Sagat and Kotone. Well, girl power is one thing, but that street fighter showed pretty impressive strength. Maybe he could score another goal for them, or maybe Eve wants to see if he can take a hit as well as he can dish them out. Kazuko, of course, is the primary consideration... so you can bet Eve will bid tactically. Being ahead two goals would be a huge tactical advantage, surely. But being way ahead on bidding pool would also be a huge advantage. Which way to go...
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo grins wryly at Kutsuuko's frown. She liked seeing her be stressed out a bit it seems, tilting her head and watching her carefully as she jogs back to her team. Nodding to Eve quietly, she puts the numbers on the display board. ... "Class F: 2 points! Class S: 15 points!"
Eve	Eve nods contentedly, seeming pleased. Not that she smiles or anything. Just content.
Momoyo Kawakami	Audience member B: "How you use the points is really important. Damn." Audience member C: "Fuck!!! How will this end!?" the crowd continues to murmur, watching the eyepatch fighter have to take a hit from the cybernetic girl up next. The crowd of students was already in an uproar as the strategizing continues.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa is now making ready to deal with Sagat she stares him down and Eva as well she's having fun but she's going to wonder how this is going to go in the end. She now looks to Sagat and move to make her move she'll do her kick but how wll she'll land a hit like that it's hard to tell.
Kutsuuko Shiratori	Despite the underwhelming luck they've had so far, Kutsuuko can't help but make relieved sound at seeing the totals come out. No matter how she keeps lowballing it, she's managed to plan out what the other team is doing enough to prevent her weaker teammates from being crushed without overspending on her turn, (at least in the negotiator role). The problem is if that slab of muscle keeps getting picked over and over.
Sagat	Sagat takes the kick full in the belly, actually letting out a soft whuff of breath from the impact. ... but he stays solidly on his feet. "Not bad," he congratulates Kotone with a nod, then heads back to his team's bench. Along the way, he looks at the display screen which is showing who gets picked to negotiate and fight from each team. If he gets summoned a third time in a row, he's going to have questions for somebody.
Kazuko Kawakami	Kazuko lets out a relieved sigh as Sagat weathers that strike, even clapping her hands and whooping lightly on his way back. "Good job, Mister Sagat! Only two more rounds, and..." She makes a fatal mistake. SHE LOOKED AT HIDEO. She can't just pretend she didn't see him, can she? She raises one hand to wave lightly, but she's looking significantly more CONFIDENT this time around! That date would be so damn awkward.
Momoyo Kawakami	"Hmhmhm! Sagat gets to experience the full fury of a cyborg, and Kotone learns what it's like to fight an underground brawler. Just a taste! Now... for Round 4! The climax of the match!" ... "Class F! Negotiator, Sagat! Kicker, Ela'Ashbel! Class S! Negotiator: Karian! Kicker, Kotone!"
Ela'Ashbel	Ela'Ashbel nods slowly when it is determined she will be in the match and raises her helm, setting it into place. "Well, this should prove interesting." She joins the moot with her team to discuss strategy!
Karian Icefang	Karian confurs with his team for their opinions on what to do.
Nero	Hideo keeps that confident grin on his face, eyes directly on Kazuko as she finally meets his gaze and waves awkwardly. Soon, Kazuko. Soon. Nero meanwhile listens in on talk of strategy.
Sagat	He has to go up there AGAIN? ... At least he can take a break from the actual fighting part. On the other hand, he genuinely does want some input from his teammates on how much to bet - and he has a few thoughts of his own on the subject. This could still go drastically sideways depending on what happens next ... Anyway. Once the discussion is over, he goes up to submit Class F's bet, and then just looks levelly at the entirety of Team S, each member in turn, with a particularly hairy (ha ha ha ha) eyeball for Hideo himself. A look that seems to say, 'if you don't like the outcome, take it up with me.'
Momoyo Kawakami	Margit leans over to Azumi. "Hmm. It seems as if they had good fortune getting that Muay Thai Emperor. I wonder what happens if he gets very wounded at the end of this round..." The maid grins widely though, cheering like a schoolgirl. "Nero-sama! Hideo-sama! We're certain of your strategic brilliance!!!"
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo leans in toward Sagat after Karian strides away. The briefest flicker of amusement crosses her features as she punches the results into the computer and on the display board... as promised, things were getting very very good. "Class F: 39 points! Class S: 40 points! Kotone attacks Ela'Ashbel!"
Alden	Alden offers a few words, but otherwise, he watches the 'fighters' curiously.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa nods to Sagat and she pulls back but it seems that she's done btter than she thought she did and now it's time for her to kick an elf woman she's not sure?
Ela'Ashbel	It doesn't matter how hard someone struggles when the future is against them. For Farseer Ela'Ashbel, she knows what is coming, and deftly absorbs the blow that Kotone sends her way.
Momoyo Kawakami	Kokoro stomps her foot, running off quickly... only to return with... a mirror? "Those damned common peons. They can't be allowed to beat Class S! We're superior in intellect! They should be grovelling before us like dogs!" So of course... right at a critical moment when the brat is swinging her mirror around... a glint of sunlight hits Ela's eyes!
Ela'Ashbel	As Ela awaits Kotone's attempt at kicking her down, she does not really notice the light flashing against her face. Therefore, it just makes a glare off of her helmet or something.
Ela'Ashbel	Well, Ela'Ashbel is not about to let someone kick her silly, so she deftly turns away Kotone's fierce kick! "Good attempt." She comments before wandering back to her team.
Kazuko Kawakami	Although the result was still better than expected, Kazuko still lets out a relieved sigh before looking over towards Karian with an intrigued look in her eyes. Someone so BEEFY and HUGE getting the bet win over them by just a single point? Maybe a visit to his world might not be such a bad idea.
Momoyo Kawakami	Momoyo chuckles softly, punching the next numbers into the computer. This was the conclusive final round, but when morale was lowest, who knows what each team would do? "Class F: Negotiator, Kazuko! Kicker, Ela'Ashbel! Class S: Negotiator, Nero! Kicker, Karian!"
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa has been having fun it was something different but things were not going so well for her team she does howeve rback off now to see just how this plaqys out in the end.
Kazuko Kawakami	And then Kazuko's called up as the last negotiator for class F! She looks over at Nero when she hears the Emperor's name called as well, a long stare directed the red one's way as she converses with her team once again. Just what's she going to do now?
Sagat	Sagat idly offers Kazuko a fistbump as she sets out to place the final bet of the bout. This has been an interesting experience, if nothing else ... He's still quite prepared to make Hideo regret going this far to try and land a date with Kazuko, mostly because he doesn't trust the uppity little snot to respect the boundaries of a date if he gets the opportunity. He saw the look Hideo was giving Kazuko earlier, and he's in little danger of forgetting it.
Nero	Nero met Kazuko's gaze... And then she smirked. She turned to face her, and called her over with a wave of the hand. A private talk. Just the two of them.
Eve	It doesn't take Eve long to figure odds. With the math skills she inherited, she doesn't even have to calculate. She knew the outcome of the match before round five even started since their team had managed to secure the larger number of bid points. Surprisingly each team always bid about the same as the other, making it clear they'd all been thinking similarly, though with slight variations each round. But, it seems that Kazuko's honor is safe. Eve doesn't even worry about the final points bid. They'll play the game out for their team and their class, that's all.
Kazuko Kawakami	Kazuko stops in mid-step at Nero's wave, raising an eyebrow curiously and glancing back and forth a few times. Well, it's not like anything could happen there. For better or for worse, she goes over to where Nero is and engages her in... NEGOTIATIONS.
Karian Icefang	Karian hears his name called, and looks over. "Eldar!" He shouts out. The animosity was thick in his voice as he looked right into Ela'ashbel's helemt. His fist clentched up hard as he prepared himself.
Kazuko Kawakami	After a rather animated discussion with Nero, Kazuko's decision is made. She turns to Momoyo, and she gives her the fifth bet for which her destiny shall be decided! Now all that's left to do is wait.
Ela'Ashbel	The blatent distaste between Eldar and Space Wolf was nearly palpable in the air. She moves forward, elegance contrasting with Karian's brutal strength and size. "Monkeigh. It will be a pleasure to humble another of your kind."
Momoyo Kawakami	And now the end of the match had come. The crowd relaxed in their seats, confident in the outcome and started to get distracted, chattering about other things. Even the fighters on both teams seemed somewhat relaxed. "Class F: 30 points! Class S: 30 points! TIED MATCH!"
Nero	Nero smirks and swings out an arm, forming Aestus Estus into her grasp. "Well! The time has come, Lady Kazuko! Let us give the people a show worth watching!" She points her blade at the girl. "Prepared yourself!" And then a moment later, she gripped her blade with both hands and dove forward, aiming a fiery slash...with the flat of the sword, at Wanko's midsection. "Rosa Itchys!"
Karian Icefang	Karian charges stright for his eldar enemy. "In the allfather's name!" He screams out. He leapt into the air, aiming a full on dropkick for his enemy. Clearly, no love was close between the ancient enemies.
Kazuko Kawakami	Stepping back towards where Ela is standing, Kazuko takes a deep breath as she prepares herself for a direct confrontation! She gives the Eldar a light nudge on the arm before glancing over at Karian almost knowingly. "We've got sixty seconds. I'll keep Nero busy, okay?" She grins confidently. It's not like she's ever fought Nero before and had that blow up in her face, right? If nothing else... At least there's only herself to blame here! Again. "I'm ready when you are, Nero!" And with that, Kazuko picks up her naginata to try and deflect that flaming slash. With her strength, however, it doesn't work nearly as well as expected, and she's launched back several feet with flames trailing after her as she skids back! "Ggh...! That's not enough, Nero!" Time to bust out the big guns. Kazuko charges forward, spins her naginata several times to build up power, then... "Kawakami Style: Daisharin!" ... Swings it with all her might at Nero's midsection in return!
Eve	Eve's totally unprepared for Kazuko underbidding! She ... she could have WON so easily! But of course, some things are more important than victory. She's not sure whether Nero convinced Kazuko to 'give love a chance' or some such nonsense, if she bribed Kazuko, or if this is Wanko's own fighting pride here insisting on being a dramatic winner. She's pretty sure though, Kazuko's risking plenty. And being amazingly cool doing so.
Ela'Ashbel	Karian's attack forces Ela to defend, raising her witchspear, she blocks his massive boots with the haft, but it forces her back and jars her body. Her body and the air around her crackles with energy as she rouses a massive amount of psychic energy. The air around her thickens and buffets against Karian before the weight of a world crushes down upon him.
Karian Icefang	Karian growled at Ela'Ashbel. "More of your witchery?!" He shouts out. He's send back, but refuses to let the eldar win this match. He then take the opportunity and rushes right at the Eldar, fist low. Anyone who fought him befoe knew he was going for a but of a signature of his. A spinning uppercut not unlike something Sagat would be familiar with.
Nero	"Hmhmhm! You seem to have improvd a little, Lady Kazuko!" She brings her sword back again, and angles it to defend against Kazuko's ferocious swing. CRACK! ...It clashes against Aestus Estus, and Nero skids back about a foot. "Hm!" Interesting, but not enough. Nero smirked and flames ignited upon her blade again. "Surely that is not all! Come again!" And she let loose with a blindingly fast trio of slashes. Two aimed for the shoulders, and the last for the midsection. "Paru Teni Blausserum!"
Ela'Ashbel	"More?" Ela'ashbel laughs after collecting herself from the blast to her runearmor. "I am hardly finished with you!" She thrusts a hand forth, pressing it to Karian's armor and unleashes the power of the blasting him away from her before following up with a series of coalescing energy blasts channeled for extra strength through her spear.
Kazuko Kawakami	That didn't work. Alright. Plan B! After she's done whacking away the burning bits of cloth on her midsection from Nero's flaming slash, Kazuko's back on her feet and looking a little frustrated! Did she really improve at all since their last fight! The second string of attacks are a little easier to handle, but not by much as she still takes some strong cuts to her arms and midsection, staggering back again while biting back a cry of pain. "Not enough...? Th-then I'll just try this...!" Charging for Nero again, Kazuko... Isn't lashing out with the Naginata again! Instead, she tries to slip behind the Emperor for a grab and a jumping German Suplex! "Kawakami Style: Mozu-otoshi!" It worked on a bunch of others.
Momoyo Kawakami	A loud airhorn is sounded and the Kawakami Temple monks move in with the teachers to stop the brawl as the crowd goes absolutely wild. Even with the speakers Momoyo is difficult to hear over the noise, and both Momoyo and Tesshin tensed up a bit... they were used to flashy sparks of action and conflict, but the situation is well in hand at the end of 60 seconds. "And now the tiebreaker match begins! Both teams have points on the board and must choose fighters to spar for the finale!"
