Hey, I'm back. By the way, Lio is pronounced Lie-oh. I don't own SF.
Selene stood in his ready stance, his feet at right angles with his right towards his foe. His clawed right hand held at a diagonal in front of his face. Lio did so as well, her pose that of a classic boxing stance. Lio punched her gloved fists together. Without taking his eyes of his enemy, Selene reached down and took his silver mask and fit it over his face. The padding in his mask made his face hot already. The two combatants stared at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.
Lio finally charged forth with a dash straight. Selene only jumped back, trying to cut as he jumped back, but he fell short. Lio executed a dashing upper as Selene landed, but Selene ducked underneath her fist. He executed a Scarlet Terror which knocked Lio into the air. Selene slashed her across her abdomen as she came down from the air.
Lio hit the floor, bleeding heavily. She struggled to her feet. Selene charged with a battle scream. He kicked her in the face. Then the chest and the abdomen. He was intent on causing Lio as much pain as he could. Lio was curled up in a ball, screaming in pain. Selene went to stomp on her face. His foot descended but a blow in his back threw him into the opposite wall. He hit the wall and crumpled on the floor. He jumped to his feet, raising his claws to ward off another blow that he was sure was coming. When he looked up he saw Balrog had punched him away from his broken pupil.
" What the hell you doin'? You touch her again, I'll kill you!" Balrog yelled, stomping over to Selene. Balrog backed up a half step, and Selene knew he was about to charge him.
But as he charged in a dash straight, Vega jumped from the and performed a Sky High Claw. The two attacks hit each other and both were knocked back. Vega flipped and landed nimbly on his feet just in front of Selene. Balrog slid back a few feet and stood just just before Lio, who was still unconscious.
"What the hell you doing? You teachin' him to kill every fighter he meets? We're technically on the same team!" Balrog yelled at Vega.
"Are you teaching your pupil to lose? I believe you are succeeding if this is your goal." Vega retorted.
"Pretty boy, I'm about to kill you and and your little runt!" Balrog yelled. Vega laughed.
"As if a man as ugly you could defeat a beauty such as myself." Vega replied, placing his mask over his face and putting his claws back on his right hand. The two assumed their respective ready stances. The two charged at each other with their claws and gloves ready. As they were about to hit the other however, there was a shine sound and a blast of purple energy separated them. The fighters were blasted away from each other.
They instantly jumped back to their feet. The three warriors watched as a figure walked through the doorway that he had thrown a psycho cannon through.
"I don't like to repeat myself. If I have to tell you two to stop killing each other one more damn time, then I'm gonna personally scar your face, and I'll take all your money away from you." said in an even enough tone, but both combatants paled. But no one noticed Vega pale on account of his mask.
Selene had never met M. Bison but there was no mistaking the red military garb, or the pure power that he radiated. His eyes were as solid white as marble and possessed just as much pity.
M. Bison looked from Selene to Lio.
"It would seem that Vega's little whelp got the better of your's, Balrog." Bison said with a touch of amusement. Balrog stiffened, but said nothing. Selene saw out the corner of his eye, a pair of shadow in the rafters. He was about to make note of this, when Juni and Juli jumped down to join the rest. The dolls stood and flanked the head of Shadaloo.
"Now you two, I've set up the next world warrior tournament to see who else has become a threat. You two have to keep your new toys in one piece for now. Am I clear?" Vega, Balrog and Selene nodded, too scared to speak. Bison then created his signature swirling portal of darkness and left. The dolls followed behind him.
Once they were all gone, Balrog picked up the bloody mass that was Lio. He left the building and from the noises outside, he seemed to have gotten into a car and driven off.
"His new body seems strong. It seems his body transplant went smoothly," Selene thought to himself. He stood shakily and went to clean the blood off his shoes. Vega walked out the front door without a word.
"Probably on his way back to the HQ." Selene thought to himself. He cleaned himself off and locked the restaurant up. By this time the sun had set. The street lights had just begun to blink on.
"Maybe she'll say yes this time." Selene thought as he lept up to the rooftops on his way home.
