Budokai Elimination Round - Mister Steel VS Wryce

The Unbreakable Mister Steel, aka Donût, delivered a punch so powerful that the whole arena shook and air was displaced to create a *whoosh* of air.  A sound that almost covered up the first round of gasps from the audience.  There... it was done, Wryce was on the ground and probably about to teeter over...  And then, suddenly, Wryce was grabbing Mister Steel's forearm and speaking.  This elicited another round of gasps from the audience, who all couldn't believe that this big guy could have continued to speak after taking such a beating.  Let alone try to fight.  And yet... he did...

Steel was unable to pull his arm free of the bigger man's grip before he was socked in the gut by air that had the force of a fist.  As soon as the kiai hit Steel, Wryce let go, and the squat Earthling was sent up and away into the air.


Steel has no way to block or dodge!  He takes that Kiai full on!

Soon enough, gravity, that harsh mistress that all had to obey during their matches, began to act on Steel's body again.  He was pulled down... down... down...  He quickly extended his hands down towards the ground, as he was plummeting headfirst.  Tile met palms, and Steel bent his arms to absorb some impact.  Then he pushed against the ground while redirecting his weight forward and ahead of himself.  With that quick flip done, he was back on his feet.  He got into a combat stance, and felt the heel of his rear foot press against nothing.  His foot was only half on the raised arena.  Thankfully, the ground was about half a meter below him, so he wasn't touching... but he still had to keep out of the way of the next hit.

"Oh right... Less space...  That hella cool technique blew up a bunch'f ground..."

Things moved very quickly after Steel found himself literally on the edge of defeat.  First, Wryce charged him, stopping just short of the squat Earthling.  Steel sent a few jabs into the other man's chest, but those seemed to be ignored as Wryce headbutted him.  This stunned Donût on multiple levels, causing him to forget he could still punch before his opponent got a vice-like grip on his wrists.  Within the blink of an eye, The Unbreakable Mister Steel, was ragdolling up into the air from the force of Wryce's throw.

"What tha-...?"

And then he saw it.  He FELT it.  He tasted it.  Another blast heading his way from Wryce.  Another one of those hole-digging, earth-shattering, bone battering snack-cake blasts!  What were they called?  Kikohas?  Kikikis?

Wryce's shout hit Donût's ears right as he was pondering this name.  Ah, Kikoho.  Right.  And then, there was the full force battering hss body, this time unprotected by the Man of Steel technique.  Flesh and bone were BATTERED by the sheer concussive force of the blast.  Skin split, hair was burned, and ribs cracked for the second time that week.  The diamond shaped blast knocked him even further into the air, pushing him up and up and up and up... through a cloud (that now had a diamond-shaped hole in itself).  Above the cloud.  So high that the entire arena disappeared into the urban sprawl around itself, and the city looked liked a pretty little blot on the whole island.

Steel takes the full force of the Kikoho!

Then Donût was falling.  Falling... Falling...  Falling... FALLING!  The city became more detailed.  People and cars appeared, looking like ants.  Then beetles.   Then mice.  Then little dolls.  The arena became a strip of white on green, then the tiles became apparent.  Then the ground, where Steel was heading became obvious.

"Crapcrapcrap!"

Thinking quick, Donût became Mister Steel once more and shoved at the air with a technique he hadn't thought to use during the whole fight.  A technique that let him avoid the ground and instead SLAM against the arena with enough force that he left a great crater near Wryce's body.  He also knocked up quite a cloud of dust, debris, and broken tiles... but he was technically still within the arena when he landed.  And when he pulled himself up to his feet... he was the only fighter standing.

As the crowd cheered, or booed, and the announcer made his call... Steel didn't wave or smile.  He knew that this wasn't a real victory.  He'd won without trying, and he'd barely gotten scratched.  Hell, he didn't even unleash his full power for more than a brief moment.  And that had been enough give the poor guy a concussion.

He turned and hefted Wryce over his shoulder, lifting the other man up.  When some in the crowd started chanting his stage name, The Unbreakable Mister Steel shouted...

"Wryce!  WRYCE!  Wryce!  WRYCE!"

Eventually, the crowd got in on it... Steel used a hand to raise up the unconscious fighter's arm up and off his shoulder for JUST a moment.  Then that arm went back where it belonged, and the squat little man did his best to carry the Crane School's star student over to some waiting EMTs for much-needed medical attention...
