Word Count: 1257 Points Gained: 2 +10 New EXP Balance--- [color=f49ac2]Level 11: 024/110 [/color] [/center] — Blue Suede Go ran a comb through his black hair. The extended pompadour that sprung preciously horizontal from the top of his head swept up at the end. He adjusted the high, oversized collar of his light blue jumpsuit and ensured his sunglasses fit perfectly on his rotund face. Across from him on the other side of the wooden platform of pools was a young woman Blue Suede Goo would describe as a ‘babe’, or perhaps a ‘hot mama’, even if he didn’t usually go for chicks with short hair. From the way she was looking at him, Blue Suede Goo could tell the feeling was mutual. He would show off and strut his stuff and maybe hit her up later. After he hit her up with his amazing moves, of course. Hoo-yeah! [color=f49ac2]’I never thought I would fight a fat Elvis made out of clay.’[/color] Sakura thought to herself, scratching the side of her head. She watched as he struck pose after pose, pointing this way and that. It was…kind of like the real Elvis? [color=f49ac2]”I like your cosplay!”[/color] Sakura called out. “Cosplay? Hoo, mama, you’re lookin’ at the real deal. I’m the genuine article baby, the King of Rock and Roll flown down from outer space to rock your world, mama.” He said, turning and spinning. His whole body jiggled. And not because he was overweight. Like, his fingers jiggled, too. He wasn’t made out of meat. Also, he only had four fingers. “I’m the one and only Blue Suede Goo.” He said. [color=f49ac2]”Blue Suede…Goo?”[/color] “That’s the name, don’t wear it out. Oooh, mama.” He said, eyes wide beneath his sunglasses. [color=f49ac2]’Okay. So this guy’s nuts.’[/color] Sakura thought to herself. “So, what do you say you and I hit up the movie theater after this, baby?” ‘Elvis’ asked. [color=f49ac2]”Uh, no thank you.”[/color] Sakura said. She looked at the clock, wishing the fight would start soon. “What, you don’t like movies? How about a deal: I win, I get to take you out to the movies.” [color=f49ac2]”...and if I win?”[/color] “You get to take me out to the movies.” [color=f49ac2]”That’s the same thing!”[/color] Sakura protested. “No it ain’t, baby. You’d have to pay for the popcorn.” Blue Suede Goo pointed out. [color=f49ac2]”I don’t have the money for that. Movie popcorn is way too expensive.”[/color] Sakura said. “Guess you better lose, then! The King’s got dough to spare! Hoo yeah!” [color=f49ac2]”Sorry, I don’t plan on losing.”[/color] Sakura said, cracking her knuckles with a smile. The Heavenly Principles auto-referee spoke out, the time ticking over to their allotted battle. ROUND ONE! THREE, TWO, ONE…FIGHT! “Hoo, mama!” Blue Suede Goo struck a pose, raising his hands but pointing his sausage fingers down. “Get ready for the SONG OF DEATH!” [color=f49ac2]”I thought you wanted to go to the movies!”[/color] Sakura’s eyes widened. Unsure of what was coming, she covered her ears and braced herself. Blue Suede Goo flung out a single floating musical note. It floated slowly towards Sakura. [color=f49ac2]”O-oh.”[/color] Sakura said, a little relieved. It had a little bit of tracking, but she dodged it nonetheless. “Hope you’re ready for the reprise, baby. Here comes the Song of Death!” He said, and threw out another singular music note that slowly floated towards her. [color=f49ac2]”I think you’re suffering from special move name inflation.”[/color] Sakura said. This time she met the note with her forearm and destroyed it. She charged up a fireball and blasted through the third ‘Song of Death’ and followed after it. He destroyed her fireball with his own second Song of Death and now they were in relatively close range. “Hey, watch the hair, man!” He said. He leaned forward and his long pompadour came to life, smacking Sakura harshly across the face and tummy in a one two combo. She didn’t expect his hair to do that. Sakura stepped back and shifted under a swipe, then another. “Hey, watch the hair, man!” Blue Suede Goo said, swinging out his Hair Blade again. “Hey, watch the hair, man!” Blue Suede Goo said, swinging out his Hair Blade a third time. “Hey watch the hair, man!” Blue Suede Goo moved his head about like a broom sweeping dust. [color=f49ac2]”Okay, I get it!”[/color] Sakura said. [color=f49ac2]”I’m watchin’ the freakin’ hair!”[/color] She was starting to get the idea of how this guy won his first pools match. The range on this move was nuts! A real noob stomper. But Sakura was no noob. “Hey, watch the-” He began again. Sakura stepped back, right out of range, and snatched the thicket part of the pompadour with a fist. “Hey, watch the hair, mama!” He said, much more alarmed this time as he reeled his hair back in like a fishing hook. Sakura used the momentum against him and came in with a spin kick. [color=f49ac2][i]”Shunpu!”[/i][/color] She smacked him across the face and watched his skull cave in. It was a little disturbing, but his head reformed in a moment, though Blue Suede Goo definitely didn’t enjoy it. She beat on him some more, crouching and wrenching her fist into his stomach. It was cold and soft, like he was made out of, well, clay! Still, his eyes bulged. [color=f49ac2]”Shunpu!”[/color] She rose up into another spin kick that knocked him away. She dashed after him. He blocked her elbow and swung his book shoe towards her head, but she ducked and swept his feet out from under him. He bounced back to his feet, only for her to hip toss him hard onto the floor. “Ooof!” He grunted. He rose up suddenly with a dramatic backflip of hair slices, but Sakura side-stepped it with minimal motion. The wind blew her hair and headband to the side. He gently floated back down into Sakura’s waiting combo. [color=f49ac2][i]”Shunpu! Shunpu! Shunpukyaku! Shunpu!”[/i][/color] It was a whirling series of kicks and double fisted punches that sent Blue Suede Goo flying. He flattened onto the ground, face down. KO! SAKURA WINS ROUND ONE! Sakura stood, and crossed her arms. [color=f49ac2]”I only fight people who are stronger than myself.”[/color] She said, voice serious, like Ryu. She couldn’t keep the tone up, and broke out into a giggle. [color=f49ac2]”Just kidding!”[/color] It was decidedly mocking. “Hoo, mama. You’re in for the show of a lifetime!” Blue Suede Goo declared, rising to his shiny shoes once again. ROUND TWO. FIGHT! “Get ready…for the Song of De-” He was cut off as Sakura lit up with ki energy and arced across the entire arena, slamming both of her fists down onto his head and turning him into a pancake. [color=f49ac2]”Here I come!”[/color] She warned, a bit too late. She grabbed him by his big collar while he was still on the ground, turned, pitched, and rolled him over herself once, and then twice, doing a full tumble weed circle before flinging him up and away. [color=f49ac2]”See ya!”[/color]He crashed outside the ring with a tremendous splat. RING OUT! SAKURA WINS! Sakura kicked back up to her feet and dusted off her hands with a cocky smile. [color=f49ac2]”Fast, cheap, and quick. That’s Sakura.”[/color] She said, looking over her shoulder at her defeated opponent. When Sakura’s opponents were this weak, they didn’t push each other to the limit, so an actual KO was unlikely. Thus, Blue Suede Goo rose to his feet, dizzy. “Now hold on a minute! Remember our deal! We’re going to the movies!” [color=f49ac2]”I’ll buy you some popcorn if you want to watch my Winners Bracket run.”[/color] Sakura said. Blue Suede Goo didn’t have a good answer for that, so Sakura just waved and skipped out of the arena. She wanted to see if she could catch up with any of her friends.
