A lone figure stood by the entrance to the Brawl Stage Transportation Room, who seemed to be waiting for someone, or something. Dark chocolate eyes were glued to a simple poem book, Loveless. Black-auburn hair that was loosely curled fell into her face, a pale skin tone glowing softly in the dim lighting. A black, ankle-length trench coat partially covered a black, sleeveless turtleneck. Two, leather straps that crissed-crossed across her upper body disappeared behind her sides in a harness-like fashion. A strange, metal symbol glinted from it's place on her abdomen as it ended the sleeveless turtleneck, revealing a taut, pale stomach. Two white leather belts held black leather pants in place on slim hips, two sword hilts hidden. Black leather, knee-high boots complete with white metal clasps hugged her legs. A large, single black wing curled around her slightly, a few feathers falling to the ground. Suddenly, the large oak door to the waiting room opened, revealing a woman in ninja-like garb walked in, a scarf concealing the lower part of her face; all it revealed was dark red eyes. Blonde locks covered the sides of her face. The black-auburn haired woman grunted, noticing her presence before putting away the hard-cover book and ruffled her wing slightly. "...A little more of a grunt would work, Moon." The Shekiah said matter-of-factly.
"Chi~tsu. Izure ni seyo, tada sheiku o isoide. (Tch. Whatever, just hurry up Sheik.)" Moon growled, opening up the glass doors to the Transportation room. Sheik let out a gruff laugh before following the leather-clad woman inside.
"No weapons this time, Moonie." The Shekiah teased.
"Shizuka. (Quiet.)"
They soon both reached the two of four transportation capsules inside the high-tech Transportation Room. They both stepped in, a keypad unlocking as they both entered in their Smash ID numbers rapidly before the keypad turned green, signaling approval. The two women both disappeared in a flash of light as they were transported to a ruined church. Four iron chandeliers hung from the wooden ceiling. A large gap on the right side allowed sunlight to flood through the hole, crushed pillars and rotting wood in a heap under it. Tattered banners hung from the ceiling along side the chandeliers. Nearby, a large patch of white and yellow lillies stood beside the altar. Rows of dusty pews lined the back. It was the famed Sector 5 Church inside Midgar, better known as Aerith's Church.
On the left, a flash of blue light was seen before Shiek appeared and ready for battle. On the right side of the stage Moon appeared, her single black wing outstretched at a light green fog curled around her for millerseconds before disappearing. The piano song 'Let The Battles Begin!' began to play as the computer counted down.
3!
2!
1!
FIGHT!
They instantly charged. Moon was the first to attack as she hooked her boot under Sheik's chin and flipped her over. The Shekiah managed to land, the kick doing barely any damage. Shiek then lunged for the black-auburn haired woman and slammed her foot into the Smasher's exposed stomach. Moon lost all breath as she stumbled back before growling and ran back at her at top speed. With a short battle cry, she roundhouse kicked Shiek in the side with her right side before grabbing him and harshly slamming her knee into the Shekiah's stomach as she flew back dazed. The blonde landed in a heap near the pile of rubble before quickly getting up. She ran back at the female swordswoman and grabbed her. She then proceeded to throw her at the altar wall. Moon quickly landed on the wall with cat-like grace. Some flower petals were thrown up into the air due to the speed of wind. Her trench coat fanned out behind her as she smirked, looking back at the ninja. The swordswoman then launched off the wall, flipping around until her feet were in front of her. Moon landed exactly where she predicted, on Sheik's shoulders. With great force, she shoved the ninja down, using her as a human spring to hop back up. Just as she thought she had the upper hand, her ankle was suddenly drawn as she was thrown down to the hard wooden floor. She slid along the floor before stopping at the patch of flowers, groaning in pain.
She quickly recovered by flipping back up, her wing stretched out to full length before launching herself at the Shekiah. She soon slid along the floor, trying to trip the blonde, but failed to do so as the latter jumped up. She quickly spun herself back up with grace, cracking satin-encased hands. They stood in a small silence as they waited for one another to attack. Soon enough, Moon quickly charged again, as she flipped in air and slammed her foot into Sheik's cheek, sending the blonde woman flying upward. Moon also flew up after her. Moon was about to kick the other when Sheik suddenly kicked out harshly with both feet. That sent the other spiraling to the ground. Moon hit the floor with a sickening thump! and was breathing heavily. Both of their damage percentages high, despite the lack of weapons. Moon's damage was up at 60% while Sheik's was at 67%. Frowning, Moon quickly got up again, tightening her fists as Sheik landed gracefully. Shiek then ran at the swordswoman quickly. Stepping aside just as fast, she kicked the ninja in the ankles before grabbing her arm and slammed her down onto the wooden ground before rebounding up from the force. Moon then flew up and slammed her elbow down onto Sheik's abdomen before drilling her foot into her back, sending the Shekiah up higher. She almost passed the upper boundary line but recovered and dived back down, slamming her palm into the swordwoman's face, bringing her down forcefully before ramming her foot into her neck. If it weren't for them being 'virtually' animated, that crucial hit would have broken her neck. Shiek landed back down again, Moon falling to the ground. Struggling up, she ran over to Sheik, staggering slightly. The swordswoman then threw her leg around, only to be met by Shiek's arm. The blonde grabbed at the black-auburn haired woman's calf and sent her spinning around in air. Moon then planted a firm kick to the Shekiah's chest, flipping over gracefully. Without noticing, Sheik bolted for her and rammed her foot into her spine. Moon cried out before Sheik grabbed hold of her shoulders before planting a solid kick onto her spine again. She flew off the stage, thus K.O.'ing her and taking her one and only life.
GAME!
Both women were transported back to the Transportation Room, both of them looking worn down. Being virtualized didn't mean you were invincible to the aches and pains. Moon rolled her neck and winced at the sickening pop as she ruffled her wing. Sheik flexed out her back slightly and heard a small crack. "Anata wa kanari no kyōretsuna panchi o tsumeru. (You pack quite a hard punch there.)" Moon snorted as they both walked away from the Transportation Room. Sheik let out a throaty laugh as the two Smashers walked back to the common room, where a few sets of TVs were set up and were currently showing a replay of their match.
"YYYEEESSSSSS!" A male voice screamed. The two fighters both turned their heads to a giddy Snake and a slightly disappointed Prince Marth who was currently dropping Smash Coins into Snake's awaiting hand. "HA! See? That newcomer doesn't stand a CHANCE. She's weak as hell, man!" Snake did a fistpump as he pocketed the Smash Coins. Moon suddenly grew red in the face. One, she was slightly embarrased that Marth had betted on her, two she was extremely pissed that Snake had just insulted her. She marched over, a vein popping in her forehead.
"Itte yaru koto ni kuso no kao yarō. (Say that to my fucking face, bastard.)" Moon hissed with annoyance. Snake glared at her.
"You. are. weak." He stated simply.
"Hō ga ii no o shiri o kurakkāranchā o tsukidasu watashi mae ni modoru teikukuso!(YOU BETTER FUCKING TAKE THAT BACK BEFORE I SHOVE A CRACKER LAUNCHER UP YOUR ASS!)" She screamed in his face. He yelped out in suprise as he quickly ran off, Moon madly chasing after him screaming like a mad woman.
...What a great day.
