| The next text to the advancing Finalist explains that the fight will take place within the Quincy. The fight is sponsored by the Haven project there, but with some very particular stipulations. Do not offend the spirits. The problem with the GPS location is that it states that it is literally in the lake. Like on or under water.
Slide makes his way to the Quincy shoreline in the Rez area of the warrens. He looks around for any signs of where this fight is actually going to take place, cause sure, he can fly, but can his opponent.
In a manner similar to how she had arrived to her previous fights, Anjali pulls up in her car to the designated area as she rather slowly parks just near the shorline of the Quincy. She moves her elbow over and pops her door open before she rather slowly steps out of the vehicle wearing an odd pair of sunglasses as if she were possibly trying to cover up a blackeye from a previous fight or something similar before she moves her hand to push her door closed and begins to approach Slide rather slowly, not really seeming to be aggressive toward him quite yet.
Smoke and Kelris arrive on his Harley, Smoke having decided to give Anjali some space to contemplete the fight. He pulls up to the shoreline of the reservoir and guns the engine of the motorcycle once and then turns the engine off. He climbs off the bike and reaches into his pocket to pull out his cigarettes and his pocsec.
The shore is equipped with— well not a whole lot. This is where the observers are stationed— along the shoreline with binocs or thier own cybereyes to view the upcoming fight.
For those that are familiar with the silver-blue haired mage, he nods and will ask if you are the contestants. When it is confirmed— he gives the option to lift you up via a spell and move you over to the platform (roughly 10m in diameter) on the lake. If you have your own means, more power to you. The wooden platform is a bit wobbly and requires some basic balance to get used to. The water here in Quincy, despite the Project, is NOT the kind you want to fall into.
Slide nods to confirm that he is a contestant, then simply grins when offered to get out onto the platform. He levitates off the ground and heads out at a fairly good pace, landing lightly on the platform facing towards land. He maintains his levitate spell though, not really eager to fall into the water due to a good punch.
Kelris climbs off the bitch-seat of the bike and reclines his shoulders, stretching his back, arms and legs. He scans around the area, fishing into his right pocket to find his pocsec while slipping shades from his left, and sliding them on to provide magnification on the coming fight.
"Yeah." Anjali lets out toward the silver-blue haired mage to confirm her status as a contestant before she shifts her attention back toward Slide for a very quick moment as he begins to levitate; her arms moving outward slightly as she inhales deeply and audibly exhales through her nose as she narrows her eyes quite a bit at the sensation of being levitated over the lake. She stumbles slightly as she very quickly lifts one of her hands up to the side of her glasses, gripping the handle of it as she adjusts them for some reason or another before she turns to face Slide again with a rather small smile on her face as she watches him continue to float over the platform. "Don' think that's goin' t'help you all 'at much, issit?" she asks the man in her gaudy accent.
Slide shrugs, but says nothing more, merly grinning at the woman who is to be his opponent. He lands lightly on the platform, but his weight doesnt seem to make an impact, so he is still holding himself up. He shifts into a defensive stance, hands up and ready to go.
Holtzclaw arrives by his car and makes his way over to Smoke and Kelris, recognizing Smoke from before "I heard rumors that some tournament was coming through here.. I heard who was fighting and I decided to get off my lazy ass and watch.." He stumbles some, but he wasn't completely drunk as usual. He looks around "Do you know if they are takin money in on the fights, cause she is damn tough.. and worth bets" he whispered.
«Plot» Adam says, "Environmental Effects: Knockdown, Kip-Up, or Failed Charge Tests are at +4 TN to reflect the imbalance. It is possible to be knocked out and onto the water. You do not want to be knocked into the water. You may +init whenever ready."
«Auto-Judge[TRUE]» Slide (#3162) rolls Initiative with a result of 19.
«Auto-Judge[TRUE]» Anjali (#10582) rolls Initiative with a result of 23.
Smoke nods and says, "There will be a odds screen flash up in a bit over there to pocsec send your bets in. Do it quick though when it comes up." He lights his cigarette and takes a deep drag. His eyes on the contestants.
As the man lands and settles into his stance infront of her on the platform, Anjali tilts her head downward slightly and smoothly lifts her fists up infront of herself as she takes a single, rather small step forward with her right leg as she essentially moves to take a southpaw stance and directs most of her weight back toward her nearly straightened rear leg and essentially balances herself onto her toes; the heel of her leading foot lifting up from the floor very slightly as if she were intending to use it in some way or another. The knuckles of her fists are held in line with her eyebrows as she leaves her left hand rather close to her face with her leading hand extending outward slightly as her smile fades from her face as she begins to take a blank expression without another word, as if she were anticipating the man to move toward her first.
«Plot» Anjali says, "Welp, looks like I'm going first. I plan to use a kick attack. Sir, do you happen to have/wish to use Close Combat?"
«Plot» Slide says, "Close Combat and Full Defense"
Holtzclaw readies his pocsec for the bettings, keying in 5,000 for Anjali, and turns back to face the platform. He sits down to watch the fight (on the ground, or a chair.. whatever there is.) and lights up one of his clove cigarettes, taking a large drag, and exhaling the foul sweet smelling smoke.
Smoke keys up his pocsec, squinting at the screen. He places his bet and then watches as the fight begins. He looks at the platform and takes a deep drag on his cigarette. (5000 on Anjali)
Kelris brings his pocsec up, waiting for the message displaying the odds of the match, to reply with a bet of five thousand on the indian woman. His eyes lift, and he raises a hand to brush across one of the arms and increase the magnification, intent on watching every move.

«Plot» Anjali says, "Posing!^^;"
A broadcast channel for comm units is open for bets. Also a trideo projection along the shoreline takes meatbod key ins for bets. Right now it is 2:1 for Anjali.
Anjali begins to lean forward very slightly before she stomps her heel down onto the shakey platform beneath her before she lowers her fists quite a bit and essentially begins to charge at the man at the other end of it. When she becomes in range, her fists lift back up infront of herself very quickly before she lifts her knee up quite a bit and extends her leg and rotates her hips as she quite predictably makes an attempt to essentially slam her shin into the man's side.

Slide reacts fairly quickly to the charge from the woman, he doesn't do much, merly steps back just out of the range of her knee, allowing it to harmlessly pass in front of him. His gaze locks with hers, watching to make sure her gaze is locked on him.

«OOC» Adam says, "But the spectators will be 'annoyingly dinged' by searing light. No game effects. RP Side effects."
Slide grins slightly, and suddenly an ultrabright flash eminates from his eyes….
As Anjali delivers her kick, she had apparantly been making sure that she would damage the man as she connects as she continues to follow through with it; the toes of her foot landing back down onto the shakey platform as she essentially spins around. She moves her forearms inward and essentially closes her stance quite a bit as if she were anticipating the man to attack her in a usual physical manner before she is essentially caught off guard by the fact that the man had activated a bright flash from his eyes. She becomes quite unbalanced as she takes a rather large step back; her eyes greatly narrowing as she is partially blinded by the odd attack as her arms remain held in a defensive position as if she were still expecting the man to charge at her.
Holtzclaw catches the bright light and shields his eyes, when his hand drops he hollars out "Bullshit.. that's not a fight.." he sighs and sits back realizing yelling out isn't going to change the fact that it happened.

Kelris squeezes his eyes shut as his magnified sight is blinded by the white flash emanating from the male's eyes. He drops his head and pulls his glasses off to rub over his eyes, swearing, "-Fucking- weasel."

Smoke, not using any vision enhancements see's the flash and lowers his eyes to the dirty sand on the shore of the reservoir. He takes a drag on his cigarette and contemplates that the fight might swing badly for his teacher. "It isn't over." He whispers.

«Plot» Adam says, "Anjali staggers, but will not fall into the water."
Slide takes the moment that the woman staggers back blind to press his attack, he lowers his weight against the floating platform, steping forward twice in a crouch with his right hand cocked back and low, then surges forward throwing his right fist into Anjali's midsection with everything he can muster behind it.
Anjali continues to stumble backward as she mostly seems to be protecting her face for some reason or another before she is suddenly struck by the man's fist into her stomach. Her eyes widen from behind her odd shades as she leans forward quite a bit and exhales quite loudly, likely as to better prepare herself to recieve the blow though it doesn't help very much as her muscles loosen quite a bit. She continues to stagger backward, though luckily manages to stay on her feet as she essentially bounces backward slightly on one of her feet, closer to the edge of the platform as her fists remain up to protect her face as she begins to squint to see the man infront of her again.
Slide remains where he is, taking a moment to breath as he waits to see what the womans next action will be, he assumes she will attack, so he is prepared for that, hands up and ready to counter whatever might come his way.

«Auto-Judge[TRUE]» Anjali (#10582) rolls Body vs TN 5 for "Soakin' D!":
1 2 3 4 4 5 = 1 Success
«Plot» Anjali laughs, "Out of KP."
Slide notices the hesitation in the woman, and presses his opportunity again, he steps forward once more, throwing a series of punches this time. A quick right jab to the midsection, then a left jab to the midsection and finally bringing his right arm up high and throwing an elbow at Anjali's head, the last one is his money shot, hoping it works to end this before the woman recovers her sight.
Anjali eventually regains her footing as she staggers very slightly as she begins to beathe rather heavily after the man's previous attack; her hands remaining held up at her eyebrow level as if she truly has no intention of ever lowering them, regardless of how badly the man's attack had injured her. She remains back near the edge of the platform for some reason or another as she practically wheezes, "Pussy-ass…. You know y'couldn' square me straight up…" toward him.
As the man begins to launch his assault against her, one of Anjali's fists opens quite a bit as she lowers it down, gently pushing it ontop of the man's hand in a strange manner that truly isn't very typical of a practitioner of her martial art as she avoids the first punch and essentially moves herself over to the side before she moves the same hand over to the man's other wrist as if she were planning to grab it, though it doesn't quite work out the way that she had planned. Her eyes narrow quite a bit as she is essentially kidneypunched by the man as she begins to slouch forward again through the injury before the man's elbow swiftly connects with the edge of her forehead, just near her temple, knocking her out on impact as she twists quite a bit and turns completely around as she falls down face first; both of her hands having lowered down to clutch the pit of her stomach as she squirms very slightly against the floor of the platform before she completely loses consciousness.
There is a momentary pause until it is confirmed that Anjali is not getting up. The betting closes, putting Slide as the winner much to the rumbling disagreement to the dazed observers on shore. The silver-blue haired mage first levitates her out and over towards the parked MASH unit to do a post-fight medical check for lasting damage.
Kelris lifts his eyes to the fight just as Anjali hits the ground, and he scowls. He folds, and pockets his glasses without bothering to put them on again, and he scans the shoreline for the silver-haired mage. The native's arms cross at his chest, and he approaches the man preforming the transportation.
Slide steps back now, then levitates up higher into the air and he starts off towards the warrens proper, wisely giving himself enough altitude to stay out of pistol range, cause some people have friends with guns.
Smoke looks over at Adam, squints and then peers out over the water to the platform as he see's Anjali fall. He flicks the cigarette into the water. "I thought the rules were unarmed combat. Might start off the fight with a manabolt as my superflash."

Smoke moves over to Adam and watches as he uses magic to heal his teacher. "Well looks like it is going to be interesting." He watches closely and tries to keep his mind settled.
"Life is unfair," is all that Adam remarks about the fight not being fair. He takes Anjali to a cot in the MASH unit, going over her with a Savior Medkit until the wounds are set. A glowing blue-white aura mends the rest. "She will be fine when she wakes up."
