vs. 

21:18 VortexSL: *So, the match is about begin. Eva the referee asks both fighters to come to the arena. Rick carefully stands up from the benched and slides down on arena's slope, then adjusts his blue speedo, trying to see in the other corner his opponent*

21:20 Shepherd: *Shepherd stands up stretching his legs, cocky despite being a newbie, having watched live his opponent's last defeat, with hands on his waist he smirks and tsks at Rick* "Hope you don't mind another defeat so soon"

21:24 VortexSL: *The ring girl is smiling on both fighters, turning to each other she sends a blow-kiss making Rick blushing, she walks around the arena with a circular board displaying that ROUND 1 is going to begin soon. With a gesture, Eva waves both fighters to the center of the arena* Rick *looking down on his opponent with a bit stern look*: "Another defeat? You are rather overconfident! But, hmm, let's have a nice fight". The announcer: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, the KO-kick-boxing match of Rick VERSUS Shepherd!!! Round ONE! FIGHT!"

 

21:26 Shepherd: "ehee, I prefer optimistic" on guard Shepherd keeps his distance for a second but suddenly walks up and tries a straight kick aimed to Rick's belly*

21:28 VortexSL: *Rick swings to the side avoiding the kick. Looks like he didn't expect so much action right at the beginning but that got his mind racing. He gets into a guarding stance, going around Shepherd from left to right checking on his defenses, but not yet attacking*

21:30 Shepherd: *Shepherd notices and lifts his guard even higher making it rather obvious, walks up to Rick again and this time swings his fist sending it up trying to reach Rick's face*

21:31 VortexSL: *Rick blocks the punch, and then tries to counter-attack with a quick one-two aimed at Shepherd's belly*

21:32 Shepherd: "ah oh" *Shepherd's exaggerated high guard is too slow to protect his belly letting Rick's fists connect clean, tapping his barely toned abs and making him retreat a little*

21:35 VortexSL: "Hey, I saw this on TV" - thinks Rick and tries a bit clumsy to aim his fist on Shephers jaw, and then swings trying to reach for that jaw with his elbow. He tries a spinning backfist punch

21:37 Shepherd: *Shepherd while still hurt he sees Rick's fist coming and backs up, evading his fist but he gets caught by Ricks elbow making his head turn right and then back to the middle only to meet the backfist to his temple, making him spin to a side*

21:40 VortexSL: *The crowd is noisy. Rick, changes his stern look to rather neutral or even thinly smiling. With his left hand on guard, he tries a straight jab aimed on Shepherd's chest*

21:42 Shepherd: *Shepherd too dizzy and with his guard down jsut takes the hit and is send stumbling backwards, but it was enough for him to take, he stopped his fall flat and countered with a roundhouse kick to Rick's sidebody*

21:43 VortexSL: (did you touch canvas with your hand?)

21:44 Shepherd: (not at all, still up I just stopped by straightening my legs, sorry if I'm not so clear english is my second language

21:44 VortexSL: (same here, no problem!)

21:46 VortexSL: *Even-though Rick's punch connected, he didn't expect the counter-attack, the kick lands squarely on his side* "UGH!" - exclaims Rick, getting his guard up and slightly leaning

21:47 Shepherd: *Shepherd gets closer and wails at Rick, not defending at all he just tries to hit Rick with mutiple light jabs across his body*

21:51 VortexSL: *Rick tries to defend from jabs, and manages to block roughly the half of them, his belly is bruiesed and hurts a little. Rick tries to hold his hands around Shepherd's neck to bend his body for a knee-strike to his solar plexus*

21:53 Shepherd: "UGGH!" *Hard shot makes Shepherd's body fly up a little and then softly hug Rick's body with his palms around his arms to not fall, trembling and struggling to breath*

21:55 VortexSL: *Rick tries to make another kick, and then another*

21:55 VortexSL:

21:55 VortexSL: (that's not Rick and Shepherd, but that's the situation)

21:55 Shepherd: (gotcha!)

21:57 Shepherd: *Shepherd catches his breath just in time for the next kick to hit his belly making him moan in pain again* "aha! Aha!" *He is too hurt but will try to keep on fighting, holds on Ricks body and clenches his fist, looks at him from below with a tired face and then sends a rather firm but still tired punch to Rick's abs, sending another not so long after*

22:00 VortexSL: Shocked by the punches which connected to the hurt abs, Rick releases Shepherd although he almost landed the 4th kick. Breathing hardly he steps back "STOP! END OF ROUND1" - exclaims Eva. Rick bows and goes to the stool in his corner (30mins real time could be 1 round. Once you sit I'll print the stats)

22:02 Shepherd: Shepherd panting tired slowly walks to his corner and sits down, this hurts much more than he ever imagined

22:03 VortexSL: While seated both fighters can see the stats on the large TV screens above the arena (I'll look later when doing the DA story, sorry in advance for any miscounts) :

22:04 VortexSL: end of round 1

 

22:06 VortexSL: *The ring-card girl is displaying a board announcing ROUND 2. FIGHT!* Rick goes out of his corner. He relaxed a bit and collected his breath , but still his abs was hurting a little*

22:07 Shepherd: *Shepherd gets up holding his belly, but not long before he is up straight, close and ready to fight*

22:09 VortexSL: *Rick is on guard, checking on possible attacks of Shepherd* "I hope I'll have you down in this round!" - he suddenly smirks, then his serious look returns

22:10 Shepherd: *Shepherd panting tired just smirks trying to hide his obvious pain* "heh, maybe down but not out" *tries a sudden but clumsy superman punch towards Rick's solar plexus*

22:13 VortexSL: Looks like Rick was too busy talking. The superman punch pierced through his guard and Rick stumbled back and then landed on his knees, heavily breathing "DOWN!" - exclaims Eva gesturing Shepherd to come back a little and get her place for the count

22:13 Shepherd: Shepherd smiles and moves to a side, still walking almost circling Rick while he stays down

22:15 VortexSL: Eva begins the count "ONE! TWO!..." - Rick gets up, and assumes a defensive stance, leaning forward, still catching his breath "FIGHT!" - exclaims Eva

22:17 Shepherd: "Guess I got you down first Ricky" more confident Shepherd tries two roundhouse kicks one after the other aiming towards Rick's same side looking to do some real damage

22:19 VortexSL: Rick hisses in return. He misses the first kick but manages to block the second one with his hands. Desperately he tries to catch Shepherd's leg during his second kick

22:23 Shepherd: Barely gets off the hook of that grab and follows grabbing Ricks hands and pulling him towards his knee to try hit his belly

22:27 VortexSL: "UGH!" Rick is pulled towards Shepherd's body "UGH!" as Shepherd's leg connects to already hurt Rick's belly. Rick tries to get his breath "UGH!"

22:28 Shepherd: Shepherd holds Rick shoulder to get him up straight, prepares his punch from far behind and sends a powerful fist straight to his face

22:30 VortexSL: PAM! The punch connects, Rick's head leans back, Rick is unsure for a moment where he is

22:32 Shepherd: "You there Rick?" Shepherd mocks him with hands on hips waving them side to side, then slowly walks next to him, holds the back of his head and throws his body down to the mat as hard as he can so Rick lands face first

22:35 VortexSL: Rick lands down with his face on the mat, his legs raise and then drop "DOWN!" - Exclaims Eva waving to Shepherd. She looks above on the timer and starts counting "ONE!..."

22:36 Shepherd: Shepherd looks at the crowd and flexes for them with his eyes closed and an open smile

22:38 VortexSL: The crowd is crazily applauding "SHEPHERD!..SHEPHERD!..SHEPHERD!.." "TWO!... THREE!... FOUR!... FIVE!.... SIX!..." Rick grunts and gets on his knees "SEVEN!... EIGHT!..." Finally Rick is able to get up "HE IS UP! THAT'S END OF ROUND 2!" Rick limps to the stool in his corner

22:39 Shepherd: Shepherd walks to his stool slow and gracefully sits down, looking directly at rick and winking at him, he thinks he has this already won

22:41 VortexSL: Rick sits on his tool trying to come around. The ring-girl goes around the ring announcing the start of ROUND 3! FIGHT! Rick slowly goes out of his corner. He doesn't feel that he's refreshed at all. Nevertheless he assumes a defensive stance and tries a quick jab to Shepherd's face

22:42 Shepherd: Shepherd effortlessly evades it and returns the jab to Rick, but he continues with another one and another one before retreating with his guard up "Tired Rick? I knew you weren't that tough"

22:45 VortexSL: PUSH! PUSH! As the first 2 jabs connect to Rick's face. "UGH!..." - he grunts again "Me..?" - he clumsily gets his guard up just to block the 3rd punch

22:47 Shepherd: "Hehe yeah you you dummy" then straight up just pushes his shoulders like a bully "already got you beaten!" and follows with an uppercut aimed to Rick's abs

22:49 VortexSL: ARGH!... Rick's already hit abs burns like on fire after the connected uppercut. Rick is thinking that something is missing... yeah... I need to get my guard up.... yay! *Rick's guard is down*

22:54 Shepherd: Shepherd twists his fist into his belly smirking, completely confident just toying with Rick now "Maybe next time you should ask your opponent to go easy on you" prepares his palm and slaps Ricks abs hard making a loud noise, retreats a little after it, takes aim and jumps to try hitting Rick's head with his knee

22:58 VortexSL: SLAP! - Rick looks at his again-hit abs and BOOM! The knee connects with Rick's jaw. He stands for a couple of seconds and then straightly without bending the limps drops to the canvas face first with his legs slightly spread. "DOWN!" - yells Eva, waves and broadly smiling to Shepherd.

22:59 Shepherd: Shepherd smiles at eva with a hand behind his head "pst, that was nothing" places hands on hips and bends over to look down on Rick

23:00 VortexSL: Eva winks on Shepherd, smiles again and starts counting "ONE!... TWO!... THREE!... FOUR!... FIVE!..." - Rick is still lying on the canvas motionless

23:01 Shepherd: "Is this who you are Rick? the guy who gets beaten up by a newbie?" With such a cocky smile keeps looking down on him

23:05 VortexSL: Rick doesn't respond anything, still lying on the canvas face first and slightly spread legs. "SIX!... SEVEN!... EIGHT!... NINE!... TEN!... THAT'S A KNOCKOUT!" - exclaims Eva, sends a blowkiss to Shepherd and goes out of the arena. The announcer's voice is booming "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! In this fierce fight, your winner, by the way of KNOCKOUT, SHEPHERD... OVER... RICK!" The crowd of spectators is applauding crazily. (Shepherd had now time to do anything at the arena, nothing is forbidden, intended for victory poses, post-fight humiliation, whatever your taste is up to)

23:07 Shepherd: Shepherd steps over Rick and poses making his arms a "V" form "YESS!" smiles down on the loser and then winks at the crowd "my first match ever and won effortlessly, ready to see a new champion born!" leaves the arena proud of himself, ready to take on anyone

23:09 VortexSL: The crowd is greeting him crazily. After some time the clean-up crew girls arrive and take out Rick of the arena, they take him to the arena exit passing the bench Shepherd is sitting at "Hey!" - smiles some girl from the spectators to Shepherd - "Congratulations, champ!"

23:11 Shepherd: "hehe, thanks, good start to win your first match ever, the crowd seemed to really like me" a bit unsecure bit nonetheless cocky

23:11 VortexSL: (Thank you very much for the match! That was my first ever MvM RP, and it was one of the best matches I had, even considering the ones on Second Life!)

23:12 VortexSL: (Do you mind if I make a story out of this and post it? And the same with the pics on DA?)

23:13 Shepherd: (You can sure! thanks I'm glad I made really good kickboxing RP, was thinking on suplex or piledriver while fighting but, looked a bit out of place so I opted to not do them

23:15 VortexSL: (The flying knee is a perfect finish! And it is pretty realistic AFK. Let's do someday wrestling RP, be careful not to be suplexed yourself ;-).
