Andy sat on his knees, panting, sweating, looking at the man who had just beat him completely up. His long, blond hair hung over his shoulders as he gritted his teeth. The man in front of him would finish it, he was certain of it. He had to stand up. He had to fight. But he couldn't anymore. The Sakazaki's had been too strong. And all because he had wanted to help a girl. And he still wanted to help her. But his endurance was just gone. Wrecked by the endless punches, kicks and fireballs. He had been able to finish off Ryo, but his father had been too much. What could he've done anyway? He was just with Mai. And the girl he wanted to help hadn't been able to defend herself anymore. Mai had already lost from Robert in the little skirmish. Those damn fireballs! How could one possibly shoot objects with his hands? It was physicly impossible! But true. And the burning pain when a fireball struck his chest... Andy would never forget that feeling. Takuma Sakazaki, the father of Yuri and Ryo, a fifty-year-old man in a karate outfit, laughed. "Ha! Andy Bogard. Defeated." he yelled victoriously. "I'm not through yet." Andy said, slowly standing up, his body shaking as he pushed every muscle inside him to the limit. "No, that's true." Takuma said, turning away from Andy. He suddenly turned around again and pointed his hands towards Andy. Out of them, a giant ball of fire shot, racing at Andy with incredible speed. Before Andy could even scream, let alone step aside, the object struck him in his chest, sending him soaring through the air. He hit a tree hard, stopping his tens of meters of flight rougly. He sunk to a seated position, hardly able to keep his eyes open. What a pain! He was about to pass out from pure pain when he felt Mai's gentle hand on his chest. "Andy! Are you okay?" she asked worried. The twenty-one-year-old studied the burned mark on Andy's clothes and carefully touched it. Andy shot awake and groaned. "Don't touch it." he murmered with a groaning voice. He looked at his girlfriend. She had a black eye. "You look lovely with that, you know that?" he joked softly, pointing at Mai's eye. Mai smiled a bit, though she knew it wasn't the time for jokes. She had a feeling as if all the bones in her body were bruised. She used her hand to brush away some of her dark-brown strands of hair. She had an angry expression on her usual lovely face. "Poor Andy. Cursed Sakasaki's..." she murmered. "I heard that, little slut." Ryo said angry, still feeling his bursted lip. Andy had nailed him good and he was still furious about it. Robert put a hand on Ryo's shoulder. Robert was Ryo's friend and had been teached by Takuma the same art of fighting. Namely Kyokugen karate, invented by Takumi himself. He wore some fancy fancy clothes of an expensive brand and his black hair was tied up in a small ponytail at the back of his head. He was a pretty tall man. "You can't help it that she can't be loyal to just one man, Ryo." Robert said with a grin. Mai looked furiously at the man. "You wouldn't say that if I wasn't in such a bad shape." Andy said angry. "You'd better gather your teeth and get out of here before we beat you up." Ryo said threatening. "Look who's lost his teeth here." Andy said. "You filthy..." Ryo said as he walked to the defenseless Andy. Mai tried to hold him back, but Ryo simply shove her aside and punched Andy hard in his face. Blood shot out from the American's mouth and coloured the ground. "How's that, stupid fuck?" Ryo said triumphant. "I always admired the braveness of the Sakazaki's." Andy said, having no fear of Ryo. Mai closed her eyes and swallowed as Ryo hit Andy a second time. Takuma crossed his arms in front of his chest. He didn't mind his son beating up Andy. His despise towards the Bogards had always been great. They had never accepted the greatness of Kyokugen karate. "That's not fair, dad." Yuri, Takuma's daughter, said. She wore a white karate suit and a dark-blue tight leggins, big shoes and a red hairband with her light- brown hair in a long braid. "Mind your own business, Yuri. He should've kept out of the family business."
"Beating up Kasumi?" Yuri asked timid. "Call it whatever you want. I call it rivalry."
"But she's my friend..."
"Enough!" her father yelled furiously. "Stop it!" Mai begged Ryo as the blond young man hit Andy for a third time. "I'm sorry. No time to get laid." Ryo said chuckling. He rose his fist to hit Andy a fourth time. "I'd better not do that, Sakazaki scum." a young man ordered. Ryo turned to where it came from and saw a man with a pair of jeans, a white, sleeveless t-shirt, a red sleeveless jacket, blue, fingerless gloves, cheap sporting shoes and a baseballcap with the words 'Fatal Fury' on it. He had his long blond hair in a ponytail. "Terry..." Takuma said. "No one messes with my brother." Terry answered as he started to walk to the spot where Andy was sitting against the tree. "My son was only having a bit of fun, Lone Wolf." Takuma said, hoping he could challenge Terry into a fight. "Your son is a coward." Terry said, stopping in front of Ryo and looking him straight in the eyes. "Now you hear it from someone else besides your girlfriend, Ryo." Andy said, weakly smiling, because he had a splitting headache. Ryo wanted to turn around, but Terry stopped him by putting his fist against Ryo's shoulder. "Forget it, pal." he said. He shove Ryo out of the way and kneeled next to Andy. "You okay, little brother?" he asked. "I'm fine. Don't worry." Andy said. "Hey, Bogard. You've got a lot of nerve." Robert said threatening. Terry turned around to him. "At least I got the guts and the muscle to back it up, loverboy." he said as he stood up. He then noticed a girl lying on the ground, chest-down. She had black hair in a torso-length ponytail and wore strange clothers. Like some kind of samurai. She was sobbing. Probably in shock. "Who's the girl?" Terry asked. "None of your business, Bogard. You're not getting out of here in one piece." Takuma said. "Dad!" Yuri started. "Let's just go and leave Kasumi alone." Yuri hadn't been able to prevent her family from beating up her friend and she felt terrible. Terry smiled at Yuri. She was the only Sakazaki he liked. "Hey Yuri. Haven't seen you at the basketball court for some time."
"Well, you know my father." she replied. "Yeah, I know him." Terry answered, casting an angry look at Takuma. "Okay, boys. You have two choices. Either leave unharmed or make me kick you away." Terry said. Yuri walked to Terry. "Be careful with my father, Terry. He doesn't mean it that bad." she said to her friend. "I'm sorry, Yuri. I don't have anyone beat up my brother. You know that."
"Yuri! Get your ass back here and fight that filthy Bogard with us!" Takuma ordered. "No." Yuri said, walking to the sobbing girl and kneeling next to her. "Easy, Kasumi." she said, trying to calm her down. "I guess you sissies want to fight." Terry said, tightening his gloves, one at a time. "Kick his arrogant ass, Ryo." Takuma ordered. "With pleasure." Ryo said, forgetting in what kind of state he was. "You've got time to think yourself out of this." Terry said, a bit taunting. "I'm gonna teach you a lesson, scum!" Ryo said, charging Terry in anger. Terry simply stepped aside and punched him in the back of his head. Ryo stumbled forward. Terry hadn't hit him very hard. He was going to play with the weakened Ryo a little before finishing him off. This only enrage Ryo even more, who ran at Terry a second time. Terry quickly ducked to evade Ryo's uncontrolled punch and he sidestepped to avoid Ryo's kick. Terry punched him in the side, making him bend forward a bit. This gave Terry a nice opportunity to kick him in the face. Ryo fell backward and hit the ground with the back of his head. "Be careful with my brother, Terry!" Yuri yelled, startled by her brother's hard fall. She hadn't been succesful in calming Kasumi down. Ryo tried to get back up, but his head sunk back to the ground and he lost consciousness. Terry turned around just in time to catch Robert's fist with his hand. He quickly hit the man in his face and he stumbled backwards. "My, Robert. You've really spent too much time with the Sakazaki's. You're actually starting to attack people from behind." Terry said. Robert checked his bleeding nose. "Do you have a death wish, Lone Wolf?" he threatened angry. "Now that you mention it..." Terry said, right before he quickly stepped forward and kicked Robert in his side. Robert, bent to the side, was too late to cover up, and Terry jumped a bit forward, turned his body around and let himself fall down with his elbow onto Robert's head. Robert hit the ground hard and didn't got up anymore as the dust flew about. Luckily for Terry, Yuri hadn't seen that. Terry encircled his fist with his other hand and said: "Two down. One more to go. Care to give up, Takuma?"
"Never!" Takuma yelled. Yuri stood up and noticed Robert and Ryo lying on the ground. She had failed to comfort Kasumi. "Let's just go, dad. You'll get them some other time." she said, not wanting to get Terry or Takuma to get hurt. At that moment, a girl came running at the scene. She was wearing blue trousers, heavy boots, a red top and over it a green jacket. She had a large belt hanging obligue at her hips which had obviously no efficient purpose. Her blonde hair reached to above her shoulders and encircled her pretty face prefectly. She noticed the wounded people on the ground and looked at Terry. "I could've known." she sighed. "When there's a fight, there's a Bogard." she continued, walking closer to Terry and slightly tugging his cap so that the flap came over his eyes. Terry straightened his cap again and looked at Mary. "Can't I have a little fun?" he said smiling. The girl returned the smile and then noticed Andy, who carefully stood up, his face bleeding pretty badly. "Andy! Are you okay?" she asked worried. "I'm fine." Andy returned. "It looks worse than it is."
"My Andy can take some punishment, Mary." Mai said, looking at the girl as she wrapped her arms around Andy's neck. Takuma realised he would never be able to beat Terry and Mary, so he grabbed Ryo and Yuri helped Robert. Before the Sakazaki's left, Takuma looked at Terry one more time. "I'll get you for this insult, Bogard." he said, before he left with his children. "Anytime, old man." Terry yelled. "Like you will stand a chance." Terry said with a grin. Mary smiled, wrapped her arms around Terry's neck and said: "Oh, Terry. You're my hero, my everything. You're so fantastic and..." Terry pushed her away. "Would you cut that crap out? I don't like that sissy stuff."
"I know that, Terry." Mary said at a playful tune as she caressed his cheek with her index-finger. Terry always felt uncomfortable when Mary did sweet things to him. It had taken Mary a lot of time and patience before Terry had finally admitted that he liked her 'more than the average person'. For Mary, that had been enough to know he was crazy about her. In his own special way. The Bogards weren't really keen with girls, though Andy was a bit looser than his older brother. But it was sometimes necessary for Mai to be stern with him, since he sometimes didn't really take their relationship seriously enough. In Mai's eyes. Mary then noticed Kasumi, who was still lying on the ground, still sobbing. "Who's that?" Mary asked, pointing at her with her thumb. "All I know that her name's Kasumi." Andy answered. "But she was fighting with the Sakazaki's and was beaten up. We came to her aid, but it didn't go very well." he said defeated. "Don't feel bad about it, Andy. Those guys don't play fair." Terry said, comforting his little brother. Terry walked to the lying girl and kneeled next to her. He noticed she wasn't very old. "Hey kid. You okay?" The girl looked up at him. She had noticed how Terry had dispatched Ryo and Robert. "You're very strong." she said. "Why were you fighting with them?" Terry asked, a bit surprised by Kasumi's remark.
Andy sat on his knees, panting, sweating, looking at the man who had just beat him completely up. His long, blond hair hung over his shoulders as he gritted his teeth.
