CHARACTER EPISODE #1: Craig Marduk
"I'll break your face!"
Marduk went into the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 as a means to find out the identity of the man who called himself Armor King, after the man whom he had killed years ago. Despite King's attempts to calm the fire between the two, the two had engaged in a battle so brutal that they both wound up hospitalized as a result.
As the King of Iron Fist Tournament began to rear its head, Marduk recovered well enough to be able to enter. His intention was to finally settle the score that he started between himself and Armor King. However, in the midst of the tournament, Marduk had found himself pitted against the G Corporation's newest creation...
INTRO
The crowd around the arena was pumped for the upcoming battle of the behemoths, as the Australian brawler, Craig Marduk, was set to do battle against a G Corporation creation in the monstrous being, Gigas.
Looking across to the big red freakshow with arms crossed, didn't look very impressed with who had been selected as his opponent. "Hmph. You think I'm afraid?"
Gigas's only response, as opposed to actual words that would prove difficult in his form, was to slam his fists against the ground and take a primed position, ready to charge at the opponent.
Marduk cracked his knuckles and took a stance of his own, ready for action. "Bring it on!"
OUTRO
It would be difficult for the average brawler to fall the red giant in Gigas. Marduk certainly proved he was far above average, as he had decisively knocked down what was meant to be G Corp's next big bio-weapon.
Stomping on the fallen beast's head as he stood over him, the Australian fighter roared, "What'd I tell you!? You're nothing against me! Nothing!"
He then looked towards the wide crowd around him. "And that goes to the rest of the punks in this tournament! Ain't nobody gonna mess with me! Nobody..."
In the midst of his boast, Marduk noticed the crowd's volume of cheers grew significantly to something out of his line of sight. He turned around...
Armor King. A man with his sights set on revenge.
Standing at the bottom of the ramp leading into the open cage of battle, he stared towards the killer of his brother. "I heard you were looking for me. It's time to finish this."
Marduk smiled sadistically, feeling he had been gifted by fate this opportunity to end a rivalry. Despite having fought through a legitimate monster just moments before, he still had a lot left in the tank. "Alright! It's time for the rubber match!"
Arms wide and hands open for an opportune grapple, he was set for this impromptu match...!
