Terry vs A Bunch of Thugs
9:13 A.M.
Terry Bogard was lounging on his couch at his apartment, playing videogames and eating a burger for breakfast. After finishing his burger, he gets up and heads into the kitchen for some milk to quench his thirst. After opening the refrigerator he peers inside and sees he's fresh out of milk.
"Aw man! Now I have to go buy some more at the corner store," Terry groans.
Heading back into the living room, he grabs his jacket and his favorite red and white baseball cap, and heads outside the door.
Meanwhile At Geese Tower
Geese Howard was in his office doing some paperwork, when his personal bodyguard Billy Kane storms in and stops at his desk.
"What is it, Billy? Can't you see I'm busy?" Geese says to his bodyguard.
"Mister Geese, sir, Terry Bogard has left his apartment. This is the perfect time to ambush him," Billy says to him.
"In broad daylight?! Are you mad?" Geese says to Billy, not liking the idea.
"But sir, what if we hire a bunch of street thugs to take him out for us? That way it won't seem like you were behind the attack," Billy suggests.
"Hmm…now that sounds better. Go and take care of it then. Bring Terry Bogard to me after the brawl…dead or alive," Geese says to his bodyguard with an anticipating grin.
Back With Terry
Terry, meanwhile, had just left his apartment and was on his way to the corner store like he originally planned, which was about five blocks down the road.
Before he could walk a few feet, he was confronted by a couple of unfamiliar street thugs. One was holding a crowbar while the other was twirling around a metal chain.
"You must be Terry Bogard!" says Thug #1.
"Yeah, and who are you?" Terry asks.
"We're the ones who are going to kick your ass, that's who!" says Thug #2.
Both thugs immediately began to advance upon Terry.
"Goddammit! I head out to get some milk and I get this crap instead?" Terry says, getting into fighting position.
Both thugs began attacking Terry simultaneously from both sides. Terry spun around and stopped one thug's crowbar from hitting him, and instead hurls the weapon as well as the thug over his shoulder, knocking him into the other thug. With both thugs now unconscious, Terry swiftly left the scene.
"Man, that was weird…hope nothing like that happens again for…quite…a…while…oh crap…" Terry says, his words stopping as he turned a corner and was now face-to-face with approximately fifty thugs of all shapes and sizes, all of them carrying various forms of weapons and other dangerous items.
Terry stands there and raises an eyebrow. He would have to get through all of them to reach the corner store.
"Can a guy get a bottle of milk in peace?" Terry says, sighing heavily.
As soon as he finished his sentence, the entire horde of thugs began charging upon him all at once. Terry once again gets in fighting position and charges directly into the crowd of baddies.
"BURNING KNUCKLES!" Terry yells, plowing a straight line into the crowd, blowing away a good half-dozen in the process.
Terry turns around and was immediately grabbed by the neck by a huge fat guy. Terry immediately kicks him clear in the face to make the fat guy drop him to the ground. Once he lands, two more thugs assault Terry from behind.
"POWER CHARGE!" Terry yells, spinning around and knocking both thugs away with his elbow.
"YAAAAH!" five thugs yells above Terry. Terry looks up to see them leap from a balcony to perform an aerial attack.
"RISING TACKLE!" Terry yells, leaping up and performing a twirling kick attack, quickly repelling the aerial attack.
Landing on the ground once more, about ten more thugs circle around Terry holding baseball bats as they ran toward him in a flurry.
"POWER STREAM!" Terry yells, slamming the ground to create large column of energy, repelling the thugs all around him.
Suddenly, a couple thugs began to emerge from a manhole cover on the street.
"CRACK SHOOT!" Terry yells, kicking down the lid of the manhole, forcing the two thugs to drop back down in the sewers below.
No sooner had Terry looked up, he sees another dozen thugs charge toward him in an arrow formation.
"GROUND WAVE!" Terry yells, sending off a steam of energy right toward the group of thugs, blowing them all way like a bowling ball hitting the pins for a strike.
"HEY, C'MON C'MON!" Terry yells out to the rest of them, who were now hesitant to attack him now.
"RETREAT!" the rest of the thugs yells, all of them immediately leaving the area in a hurry.
Terry sighs and continues on his way, finally making it to the corner store, heaving and trying to catch his breath. He goes inside, grabs a bottle of milk, and pays it at the counter.
"Wow, Mr. Bogard, you like you got into a fight this morning…you okay?" says the concerned female clerk behind the counter.
"Yeah…I'm fine…thugs…everywhere…all jumping me…for no reason…" Terry says in between breaths.
With his milk on hand, he leaves the corner store and proceeds to cross the street…
HOOOOONK HOOOONK!
…when a big-ass eighteen wheeler truck suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushing down the street about to run-over Terry. Inside the struck were the rest of the thugs who fled earlier.
"C'MON, GET SERIOUS!" Terry yells as he sets down his bottle of milk and begins to power up.
"POWER…GEYSER!"
As soon as Terry's Power Geyser connected, the large stuck was instantly split down the middle, both sides veering off to the sides, missing Terry altogether before crashing into a bunch of abandoned buildings. Terry grabs his bottle of milk and rushes home as fast as he could.
Once near his apartment, Terry breathes a sigh of relief that he got what he wanted in one piece. Just as he opened his door, he felt a light tap on his shoulder.
"What now?" Terry says as he started turning around.
WHACK…SHATTER!
Terry's bottle of milk of knocked out of his hands by Billy Kane, causing his battle to hit the ground and shatter into a million pieces. Terry looks up at Billy with complete anger in his eyes.
"C'mon, Bogard, let's go! I'm gonna bust you so bad!" Billy says, twirling his stick around, ready to fight.
Terry now gives Billy a dark glare before smiling menacingly.
"Are you okay?" Terry simply says.
"Uh…I guess so, why-" Billy responds.
"BUSTAH WOLF!"
"AAAAAAIIIIIEEEE!" Billy screams after the exploding attack as he is jettisoned over a bunch of buildings before crashing into a tall skyscraper in the end.
There was only one obvious person who could have ordered such an attack on him.
"Geeeeeese…" Terry hisses to himself.
Terry, in frustration at his spilt bottle of milk, heads straight for Geese Tower.
Geese Tower
Geese was still sitting in his office, waiting to hear some results from his bodyguard Billy on Terry's assault, when suddenly…
SLAM!
…Terry barges into his office and stomps up to his desk.
"WHAT THE HELL?! I THOUGHT BILLY AND HIS THUGS TOOK CARE OF YOU!" Geese says, nearly jumping out of his chair.
Terry grabs Geese by the collar and yanks him toward him.
"You owe me a buck-fifty for another bottle of milk!" Terry says to him in a low, agitated voice.
"Uh…erm…well…here?" Geese says, reaching into his pocket and plopping a bunch of change onto his desk.
Terry swipes up the change and left his office immediately.
Geese stands there dumbfounded at the fact that Terry didn't end up knocking him through a window again, but wanted milk money instead after all he put him through this morning.
The moral of this tale? Don't mess with Terry when he's thirsty, fool!
I wonder what else is happening around South Town right at this moment…
