Fun and Games (for LunarWolf)

“Hmph. We’ll see.” Akino replied, rolling her eye as Chloe got ready to start her turn. The blue haired girl crossed her arms over her chest and watched as the Brazilian began blasting away wave after wave of invaders with apparent ease. One could almost see a giant anime-style sweat drop form on the side of her head once Chloe blew past Akino’s score...and then kept going!

When Chloe’s turn ended and she had almost doubled Akino’s score, the one-eyed woman’s brow twitched in mild frustration. “Whatever. Beginner’s luck.” she said as she moved to take her second turn. Was Chloe really even a beginner? She certainly didn’t play like it, though Akino wasn’t going to dwell too much on that at the moment. She was just focused on stepping up her game.

And that’s exactly what she did. When her second life started, a new determination took over Akino as she began annihilating one alien ship after another. Soon the red ship made its return, and it was promptly blown to smithereens, awarding Akino with a few hundred bonus points. The first wave of ships was eventually cleared, before a new one took its place. Again she started shifting the ship back and forth, firing lasers up at them and one by one chopping down the number of invaders. The red ship made another appearance, but this time only just managed to escape certain destruction at Akino’s hands. No matter, she was still racking up a good amount of points.

Finally a hit landed from an enemy ship, bringing the turn to an end. Her updated score: 6,480. “Hm.” Giving a slight grin, she was feeling better about her chances as she stepped back again. “You’re up.” she said, again crossing her arms as she waited for Chloe to start her second turn.

Chole would scoff a bit at Akino's off-handed comment, something which only got Chloe to wonder how well the blue haired one would do at the next little game of theirs. For now though, Akino had more than the opportunity to try and get back into the game, something which the white haired girl would look forward to see Akino though. She did enjoy the fact that Akino seemed to think of her as a beginner, which was perhaps something that would remain in her favor for the moment.

When Akino's turn came up yet again, the Brazilian would watch as her rival took the joystick in hand and began to blast ship-wave after shipwave, clearing away the big red ship and keeping up her momentum. It wasn't long before she had managed to clear the white-haired girl's score and gotten quite a bit past her. Chloe folded her arms underneath her breasts as she tilted her head to the side. Looking on at Akino all the while the girl' played. Though soon it came to an end.

Hearing Akino's way of declaring that it was Chloe's turn, the tan-skinned beauty would shake her wrists a little. " I see you've got moves. No biggie." The cocky Brazilian let out as she'd move up to the plate. Grabbing a hold of that joystick and starting off her second round in the game. She started out well, clearing the first wave and the redship, clearing more waves to come. Chloe vision darted around on the screen, her dexterous hands moving the controlls in such fluid motions that one would assume she was a pro. At least she made it look as such. Their scores so far was far away from that of the pros.

The second red ship came and with a few shots Chloe had managed to bring it down. Following it with clearing yet another wave and another after that. Finally finding a third redship and in her greed to get it she found herself shot down instead of focusing on staying alive. " Aagh! Dammit!" Chloe let out, clearly a bit frustrated with herself. She knew that she could have done better and that she had fumbled that up. However, she did walk away from the machine with a rather impressive score of 10,420. She'd turn towards Akino with a serious look on her face pointing a threatening finger up against Akino's face. " Don't laugh! I fumbled, that's it!" Clearly she hadn't paid much attention to the score she had gotten once she stepped away from the machine.

Akino watched on as Chloe stepped up to get started on her second turn. And quickly the Brazilian made it rather clear her success the first time around had very little to do with luck. Destroying the oncoming invaders seemed to come to her as easily as breathing, like it was just second nature for her. And not only was she decimating one wave after another, she’d managed to destroy more than one of the bonus ships too. But greed’s a bitch, and that third bonus ship tempted her into flying right into an oncoming blast from an alien ship, finally ending the turn.

Seeing Chloe’s reaction, Akino had to noticeably stifle a chuckle that fought to escape. But as the blue haired woman stepped up to the machine and saw her opponent’s score, her expression quickly changed to one of shock. “WHA--?!” This was bad. Really bad. Akino was going to have to practically double her current score just to retake the lead, and do much more than that if she wanted any chance of walking away from this with a victory! But now wasn’t the time to start getting worried. She had to put her game face on, and put on the round of her life...and even that might not be enough.

But she had to try. And once the ships started coming, Akino started blasting. The ship moved back and forth along the screen at her command, dodging oncoming attacks from the enemy, and blasting away the red bonus ship as it flew across the top of the screen. Soon a fresh wave of ships was coming, as well as another red ship. She got the bonus points again, and managed to clear the second wave, despite one incredibly close call where an enemy projectile had landed so close to her ship Akino had practically jumped right out of her jeans. But she managed to keep herself under control, though she was soon noticeably starting to sweat. A third red ship soon flew by, and she managed to take it out before retreating under one of the several gradually disappearing barricades to avoid the disaster that had ended Chloe’s run in round two. However, soon afterward the barricades were all destroyed, and there were simply too many enemy attacks coming to avoid them all. She destroyed as many of her attackers as possible, but was soon hit, ending her final life. Her new score, 13,910..... Fuck... It might’ve been the best individual life of Space Invaders she’d ever played. But it was going to take a miracle to stop Chloe from beating that in her final turn.

Grunting in mild frustration, she stepped aside, arms once again crossed in front of her as she waited for the white haired Brazilian to step up and begin her turn.

The white haired girl suckled a bit as she watched Akino stiffle that laugh, her intentions had been to at the very least double Akino's score...however, even if she had come close it had not gone the way she hoped. For that the girl was quite upset with herself...but it was fine, it was alright. There was gonna be yet another round for them to compete in Space Invaders she could only try and focus herself and her mind, to bring out as much concentration that she possibly could.

When Akino went up to the plate, the white haired girl would proceed to step back, placing her hands on her hips as she watched Akino dodge shots and shoot down waves. The Blue haired girl seemed as if she was doing rather well...she was able to get up to Chloe's score and even managed to get past it. As such the beautiful Brazilian would proceed to head off for a second or two. She went off towards a drink automat and bought herself a bottle of energy drink. After which she darted back and went to see the final portion of Akino's game.

The Girl had managed to get past her score, but not get too much further on than that. Chloe would proceed to open up her can of energy drink and then proceed down down it in one go. After which she would place the cold and empty can on the top of the blue haired girl's head, just when Akino stepped away from the machine.

It was Chloe's turn now, the Brazilian would step up to the machine. Once she took a hold of the joystick she'd release a loud belch from deep down in her stomach all the way up her chest, through her throat and out of her mouth. " Uhh, that did the stuff." Chloe let out as she'd turn back and grin at Akino. " Let's do this seriously now ~" Chloe let out as she'd turn towards the machine. Her game starting and with it she'd proceed to mow down the first wave with no poblem at all, followed by a red ship which she managed to shoot down. Another wave came and went, another as well, and another after that. Red ships happened upon the stage from time to time and they get shot out of the space.

Chloe's dexterous hands shifted back and forth, her agile and nimble finger clattered and shifted around to fire and dodge, she avoided many hits and cleared several waves after several waves. She lot count of how many waves and how many red ships she got a hold of. When she had managed to clear a sizeable point lead she decided to ease up a bit, which soon enough resulted with her getting shot down. Her round ending and the finaly score marked up as 32.470 which managed to get 3rd place spot on this machines high score record. Which she quickly wrote in with the initials C.M.R.

When she was done with that, the white haired Brazilian would turn around and step up towards Akino, pressing their frames together as she'd knock their forehead's together quite hard. Glaring into Akino's eye with her confident gaze as a wide smirk decorated her face. " Boom! headshot!" Chloe'd let out as she made a fake gun with her fingers and pointed it up to Akino's head.

Akino couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous as Chloe stepped up to start her final turn. She only had the lead over the Brazilian by a few thousand points, a gap smaller than either of her opponent’s total amounts from the first or second round. Her only chance was essentially for Chloe to make a major fuckup early. But alas, that wasn’t meant to be. In fact, it was quite the opposite...

The one-eyed woman watched in absolute dread as Chloe almost effortlessly blasted her way back into the lead. But she wasn’t content there. No, her adversary wouldn’t be satisfied with that, and she continued annihilating the hordes of invaders that went after her until her score more than doubled Akino’s! The Japanese girl grunted in frustration, and glared into Chloe’s eyes as the girl stepped up to her to gloat about her decisive victory.

“Tch... Whatever. What are we playing next?” she said, turning her back to Chloe as if to look out at the arcade, though it was probably pretty obvious she was just trying to deny the white haired girl a chance to rub her success with Space Invaders in any further. And she then simply waited for Chloe to make her decision, determined to make up for the embarrassment of this defeat. She’d still have up to two more chances, after all. She had to make them count...

Chloe couldn't help but enjoy herself as she and Akino was glaring into each other, it didn't take long before Akino attempted to change the subject, something which Chloe wouldn't allow all too soon, as when Akino stepped away then Chloe would attempt to reach forward and attempt to give the blue haired girl's butt a hard spank. From which she'd then skip backwards with a teasing grin on her face. " I had to, so you knew that you just got your ass spanked, you just got served! For real though, schooled~" Chole let out as she tilted her head to the side, the widest possible grin upon her face as she kept her gaze fixed with Akino's.

After a bit more teasing, Chloe would finally looked around the arcade and then take a ponderous stance...she waited for a few seconds before she'd go back up towards Akino and with it she'd attempt to lean in close towards the woman, almost pressing her lips against the girl's ears. The Brazilian would blow hot air into the girl's ear in a teasing fashion, before she'd then say. " Let's fight ~ " Chloe'd whisper before she'd attempt to quickly grab a hold of Akino and proceed to try and pull/drag her towards a street fighter 2 arcade machine, where she'd attempt to press the girl up against it. " Street fight ~" The cocky Brazilian would let out in a teasing manner, as she'd then step back from Akino and get into position to play.

" Well ? You haven't chickened out yet right ? " She'd say as the tan-skinned woman would proceed to slip a coin into the machine and get the two of them off towards the character select screen. Where Chloe would insta-lock M.Bison.

Almost as soon as Akino turned around and made her attempt to avoid the subject, she felt Chloe’s hand come in and smack her right in the ass once again, causing her to yelp out in surprise and practically jump right up into the air as her hands moved to cover her derrière. This time she did manage to get Akino to blush again, though it was as much out of frustration as general embarrassment. “...It won’t happen again...” she muttered, already looking forward to wiping that smug grin off of Chloe’s face.

Once she regained her composure, or at least as much of it as she could, Akino once again crossed her arms, then started tapping her foot on the floor while she waited for Chloe to make up her mind. And while she was waiting, she then felt a small gust of warm air being blown right into her ear, causing her to shudder. And just when she was about to yell at the girl for it, she then found herself being dragged off through the arcade until the two came to the Street Fighter 2 machine...with Akino pressed right up against it. “Ugh! Get off me!” she barked, waving an arm to brush the girl off of her right as she stepped back.

But once she saw what the game was, Akino’s frustrated expression was quickly replaced with a grin. “Chickened out? No chance. You’re going down this time.” she said confidently, slipping a coin of her own into the machine before moving to select Chun-Li. Akino didn’t exactly have one particular game she particularly specialized in over the others. But this was one she knew she was good at. She’d underestimated Chloe in Space Invaders, but that mistake would not be made again. This time she felt ready to come right back at her adversary and make up for that crushing defeat moments ago.

Chloe was quite glad with herself, she had been able to show up Akino quite a bit and could probably have done so even more. However, now there was two more challenges to complete for the two of them. Which meant that the blue haired girl certainly had a chance to even things up...perhaps even manage to beat the dexterous Brazilian. At least Chloe could always take joy in the fact that she was able to get quite a lot of entertaining reactions out of Akino, blushing and yelping from something like a spank and even more fun reactions when she seemed to think that Chloe was gonna start a pure out brawl.

Having the blue haired Akino shudder and blush was just too much but when she had pushed Akino up against the machine and got the girl to cry out like she did, even wave her arm and flail. Well...let's just say that Chloe was all grins and smiles at the moment. When she finally stepped back, the white haired girl would place her hands on her hips as she'd watch Akino slip a coin into the machine. " Hmm...We'll see. I can't say I've played much of this Street Fighter thing, but I can tell you one thing. I'm better than you!" Chloe let out with a light chuckle following her words. When she saw Akino go pick a character, Chloe would shrug her shoulders seeing the choice the girl made. While Chloe might be modest...or perhaps lying was a better word for it, she was more than decent when it came to Street fighter in general. Fighting games were all about hit-boxes, exploits, punishing and frames...a lot of which fell into Chloe's set of skills.

They got throw into the air field stage, and with it the music started to sound out of the speakers. Chloe would wait for the match to start before quickly jump forward and do a diagonal air attack down upon Akino's Chun-li's head. Following that up by quickly stepping back before having M.Bison rush forward with a psycho Crusher to start this fight off with!

The smug expression Chloe wore didn’t go unnoticed by Akino, who could practically feel the confidence radiating right off of the Brazilian. After the total beatdown that had just occurred in Space Invaders moments ago, it wasn’t entirely unwarranted, though it still made Akino’s brow twitch in frustration. And the fact that Chloe was doing anything and everything in her power to draw amusing reactions from the one-eyed woman didn’t do anything to help matters.

But when Chloe mentioned she hadn’t played much, Akino just gave a slight grunt. She hadn’t guessed the girl would be good at Space Invaders either, but that guess had done nothing for Akino but put her in for a world of surprise. Not this time. Regardless of how good Chloe said she was or wasn’t at this game, there was no room for assumption. Akino was going to come at this with everything she had, fully expecting her foe to do the exact same.

Once the characters were thrown into the stage and the music began to play, Akino patiently watched M. Bison’s movements on the screen. When he came at her with a diagonal air attack, she quickly had Chun-li jump and flip backward, avoiding the strike. However, when she landed, M. Bison was already charging forward with his Psycho Crusher, knocking Chun-li off her feet. No matter. The positioning was still one she could take advantage of. And she’d time her attack carefully, so that at the exact moment Chun-li picked herself up, she’d immediately execute a jumping spinning kick combo aiming to knock the large man into the air.

Chloe couldn't say that she had played a lot of Street fighter, yet her skills over-all in gaming tended to be good. Of course that was somewhat of a foolish thinking, as she didn't know the frames, hit boxes, opportunity times, ways to punish...etc. In truth she should probably have been playing this safe, playing footsies with Akino to test the waters and bait the girl into doing things which Chloe could guess that she could counter or punish. Though perhaps that was a foolish way of thinking as well ? She had decided to just go full in and try to do her best, if she lost here she'd just take it back in their next competition no matter what. Hell, regardless of what happened she'd get a rematch...so she'd be happy in some way even if she lost both this contest and the next....though her pride would be a bit hurt.

When M.Bison's psycho crusher went in and plowed Chun-li down like a wrecking ball, Chloe would have her character land, she was just about to move in and go for a quick attack as Chun-li stepped up, but as she moved Bison into position she was knocked up into the air by a jumping spinning kick which sent the large man flying into the air.
