Carrie enters an arena. The complex had been used in the past for spectator sports, but due to bankruptcy those days were over. All that was left behind were the stands, empty and forsaken, and the barren dirt ground beneath her. She closes her eyes and lets her imagination whirl, and she can almost recreate the glory of the stadium in her mind...The roaring crowd, the well-kept lawns, perhaps even a clear blue sky overhead.
She opens her eyes, and the lively environment she had imagined is erased. The dreary archway she stood under is far less welcoming than it had been a few seconds ago. The sky is dark and cloudy, and instead of an over-zealous crowd, it is the wind that roars. The walls are cracking, and unlike the ground they are filled with vine-like plants, a sure sign of abandonment.
The expanse of the arena is almost frightening, but Carrie reminds herself there are more important matters to devote attention to. A figure, a shapeless shadow at first, is making its way to her from the opposite end. As it comes closer she realizes it is her combatant, and planting her feet into the dryness clenches her fists.
She is not afraid, but determined. The wind rustles her hair.

Hanzo stands in a far corner of the arena with arms crossed, thinking back to a time in which so many past warriors battled for honor and glory. The more he thought on this the more he craved to have the feeling of glory that came with a win in this arena.
Then Hanzo, noticing a shadow of someone on the other end of the arena started to head in the direction of the shadow.
When Hanzo reached the shadow he was suprised to see a young a woman, "Who are you, and what do you want here?" Hanzo asked in a quiet, low voice

Her eyes seem to emit a holy glow as she faces him.
"My name is Carrie, and if you'd approve, I'd like to challenge you. You intrigue me. I want to see how I match up next to you."
She crosses her arms at her chest, discreetly pulling a shuriken from a pocket inside her jacket. Her knees are locked, not so much from nervousness, but moreso from anticipation. It has been quite a while since she faced a worthy apponent, and her appetite for a fair win has long since surfaced, compelling her to fight at whim. Her recent foes dissapointed her...they had all lacked discipline in the way of thier training.
She dares to take a step closer to the man, quickly making note of his size and stature...She wanted to know just what she was up against.

Looking over his new opponent, Hanzo shifts himself into a martial artist's stance, looking very similiar in motion to that of a snake.
"I accept your challange, it has been far too long since I have engaged in combat with a honorable warrior."
In truth it has been far to long since Hanzo has entered a head-to-head battle with anyone, most all of the battles he has been in lately where that of assassinations. Still, he has never stoped his training in the martial arts, because for Hanzo to be truly happy in life he must be the strongest fighter.
Never stoping the motion of his body Hanzo strikes forward with his left hand in a hard straight thurst toward Carrie's mid-secsion.

Knowing the blow is unavoidable, Carrie can only move, making the strike land somewhere near her pelvis.
That way I'll not be slowed down too much. He's powerful and quick...I'd better think of another strategy.
She counterattacks with the shuriken, hurling it at Hanzo's thigh with incredible force. Taking a few steps backward, she distances herself and plans her next move.

Hanzo quickly moves to one side, making it so that the blow only grazes his leg.
Hanzo then takes a single leap backward, withdrawing his katana from his back. Hanzo then, with his free hand, reaches into his pounch and pulls out three knife like shuriken.
He then throws the shuriken to cover his movement around to the side of Carrie, he then takes a single slash toward the back of her left knee.

Weighing the two possibilities, Carrie decides to take the blow from the shuriken rather than risk getting slashed with the katana. Jumping considerably high, she avoids the blade but is hit in the left side by the arial weapon. It cuts through her jacket and shirt but luckily only goes a centimeter deep into her flesh.
Putting the pain aside temporarily, she notices Hanzo's back is still turned from when she'd landed. She sends a spinning kick to the back of his head.

Hanzo skillfully moves to one side and turns quickly, so as to take the blow in his mid-section, rather than the head.
Hanzo quickly recovers and positions himself into a defensive stance, putting away his katana, he then draws out his wakashashi, while waiting for Carrie's next move.

Due to Carrie's inactivity in this match, the winner is Hanzo. *Sorry for taking so long to notice this.*
