Subway
Note: I know it's been a year since I updated this story, but you also have to know that my computer encountered some problems last November/December and I kind of lost my heart for my novelization. I also forgot that I did upload my Slums chapter, so I am good to go. I'll try to get this story done sooner.
Haggar, Cody, and Guy went into the subway. They figured that this was the best way to get around Metro City to look for areas to clean up.
As they were trying to see which trains go to where, some Mad Gear thugs came in through the subway entrance to do a sneak attack on Cody.
"Cody, watch out!" yelled Haggar, as he turned around and saw a thug try to attack Cody.
Cody then turned around and dodged his attack and then countered his attack by breaking his arm and then kneeing him to the face.
A couple of women came out, who are dressed similar to Poison and Roxy, came up to Guy to try to give him a run for his money.
"What's the matter, mister?" said one of the women in a rather seductive tone. "You don't want any of this?"
"I assure you ladies, I don't hit females." Said Guy, with hesitation to attack. "But if you insist, I'll take my chances."
One woman did some sort of flipping attack towards and kicked Guy while at it. Guy fell down, but tipped right back up and did some sort of dashing elbow attack to one of the women. The other woman was right behind her, at which point did a spinning kick to her.
Cody had his hands full with a couple of knife-wielding thugs, obviously recruited by and students of El Gado and Holly Wood. Cody was no stranger knives, so he dodged every stabbing attempt and punched one of them in the gut and gave him an uppercut. The other thug tried to sneak up behind and slit Cody's throat but Cody quickly elbowed in the midsection.
The thug then dropped the knife but Cody rushed right to him with some dashing kick. It sent the thug flying into a telephone, which then shattered as he went through.
Haggar had already gone through several thugs. He had crippled them with his piledrivers and German suplexes. But then from in front of him, came one of the members of the Andore family.
Andore Jr. was a massive man. Over 7 feet tall and packed with lots of muscle. Haggar seemed confident to take him down. He tried to tackle him, but it didn't have much effect on him.
He then tried to bearhug him, but it didn't hurt him that much either.
Cody and Guy saw that he was struggling, so they went to go help him.
He then threw Guy after he tried to do a flying kick to him, and then pushed Cody when he tried to attack him.
Cody then saw an aluminum trash can and went right for it. He picked it up and put it over Andore's head.
Haggar used the garbage can to his advantage and then German suplexed him and then piledrove him to the ground, both of which were enough to knock him out.
Then a train just pulled up and the door open. The trio then went into the train, only to find that there were more Mad Gear members in there.
Slash and Axl went towards Guy, while Simons and Bred went towards Cody.
Slash and Axl proved to be a bit of a challenge to Guy, as they blocked a lot of his attacks. Guy would then run against the wall of the train do a flying kick towards both of them to take them down.
Cody took out Bred doing his usual punches and uppercut combo. It was enough to keep him down for now. While with Simon, he punched him in the gut and face and then threw him over his shoulder.
Haggar took down many thugs without really breaking a sweat. More thugs came at him but was able to take them down by doing a spinning clothesline. Also, another one tried to come at him but was broken down by his bearhug. He crippled another one by piledriving him onto the ground.
Guy was then surrounded by many thugs. One had a knife, another had a lead pipe, another had a chain, and another had brass knuckles. It was four to one.
He thought to himself "Think fast, Guy. Do what a Bushin master could do in a situation like this."
So he then did a Hurricane Kick to all four of the thugs that surrounded him. It knocked only three of them. The knife-wielding one still had a little bit of fight left in him.
"Come on, asshole." Said the thug. "Remember, I have a knife and you don't."
Guy then kicked the knife out of the thug's hand and kicked the guy in the face. It wasn't enough to keep him down, so Guy grabbed on to a handle that was hanging above him and delivered a massive kick to the guy's midsection which brought him to knees. Guy then kicked him in the head which knocked him out.
At that point, the train finally stopped.
"Where are we?" asked Cody.
"I don't know, but we'll find out." Said Haggar.
They got out of the train, but then heard some strange sounds nearby.
"Did you hear that?" Cody asked, trying to figure out what the sound was.
"Yeah, but I can't tell what it is." Said Guy. "It doesn't sound like a train or anything like that."
"No, it sounds more like a crowd, cheering and hollering." Said Haggar.
They walk around some more. They're getting closer to where the action is.
It turns out that the crowd is in some basement of an abandoned warehouse. There was a special doorway in the subway that leads into an underground arena. The trio walked through the doorway, only to find out that it was an illegal underground fighting arena, filled with lots of people.
"What the hell…?" said Haggar.
"Will you look at all of these people?" said Cody. "There has to be hundreds of people. What do you think is going on here?"
They see a guy in a ring that was in the center of the arena. Dressed in Japanese garb and a shogun mask, holding a couple of katanas.
They then go into the ring to try to talk to this guy.
The guy then gets up and makes his introduction to the trio.
"Hello." Said the guy. "I'm Sodom. I'm Oni Samurai!"
"Who is this guy?" Guy asked Haggar.
"I'd say he is one of Mad Gear's lieutenants" said Haggar. "I think he might know where Jessica is."
"Why don't I handle this fool?" Cody asked. "I can take him."
"Are you crazy? He has Japanese swords." Said Haggar towards Cody. "Besides, I think I should handle him."
"No, leave it to me." Said Guy. "I know these types. I have battled with ninjas and samurais before. I know how to handle them."
Cody and Haggar take Guy's word. They then go outside of the ring.
"So, a real ninja wants to battle a samurai?" Sodom said with so much enthusiasm. "I should enjoy this. He then tries to say something in Japanese.
Guy then finds what he is saying to be nonsense. He then says "Let's fight" in Japanese.
Guy puts up his stance while Sodom gets up and picks up his katanas.
Sodom tries to slash Guy with a katana but misses as Guy dodges his slashing attempt by bending backwards. Guy then kicks a katana from Sodom's hands. Guy then picks up the katana from the ground.
"Oh, so you want to play that way, huh?" said Sodom in a smart tone. "Let's see what you got."
Sodom swung his katana toward Guy, only for Guy to block his attempt. Sodom tried it again, but Guy kept blocking.
Once they got apart, Guy tried swung his katana towards Sodom. Despite Sodom blocking every attempt, he saw that Guy was the real deal. Guy then kicks the other katana out of Sodom's hands. Guy picks up the katana and hands both of the katanas to Haggar and Cody, who are standing at ringside.
Now it's hand-to-hand. Sodom tries to punch Guy but misses and is met with a punch from Guy. Sodom then grabs Guy and slams him to the ground and then starts to lay waste into him. Sodom hoists Guy up to powerbomb him to the ground.
Guy is a little out of it, but still has a lot of fight left in him. Sodom then dashes towards him which again knocks Guy down.
Guy is again still a little out of it. Haggar comes towards the ring and tells him to get up. Guy tries to catch his breath, but Sodom is thinking that he won the fight. He is holding his arms up high like he won. And then Guy nips up and is ready to fight again.
"What the…?" said Sodom, with a lot of confusion in his voice.
Guy then started coming at him with several of his techniques. He delivered a punch and elbow combo followed by a slide kick, then another combo followed by a hurricane kick. That was enough to take Sodom down, but not out.
Sodom quickly gets back up. Guy then flips in the air and grabs Sodom to powerbomb him to the ground. Sodom was struggling to get back up, but when he did, Guy delivered an impressive combo of punches, elbows, crescent kicks, followed by a backflipping kick, which was enough to finally take Sodom down.
The fight was over. Several audience members had left, some were mad, some were content, and others were apathetic.
Cody, Guy, and Haggar are standing over Sodom, who was beaten down and his mask was broken a little bit enough to show some of his face. With every audience member now gone, Guy took Sodom's mask off of him, only to reveal that he was not Japanese at all, but Caucasian.
"You're not Japanese, what are you anyway?" said Guy, with a look of disgust on his face.
"I am Japanese to a degree." Said Sodom, who was bruised and bloodied. "I just love Japanese culture. I look at it as a state of mind, okay?"
"You dishonor my culture. No wonder I couldn't understand what you said earlier." Said Guy, still appalled. Haggar then cuts in.
"Look, this is not important." Said Haggar. "What's important is that I want to know where my daughter Jessica is."
"Look, it won't do you much good if I tell you." Said Sodom. "Even if I tell you, Mr. Belger is going to send all of his other guys after you guys. You've already taken me down, but he is still connected. I know Damnd wasn't successful in kicking your asses."
Cody then comes right in front of him.
"So who else do we need to take care of?" Cody asked.
"Not saying, but if you really want Jessica back, I suggest you start looking in the Industrial Area, West Side, or Bay Area first. But be forewarned, you guys won't come out alive, I will tell you that." Said Sodom.
The trio got out of the ring to talk about what they need to do. They go into the subway area to look for trains to get on.
"So what do you think we should do?" Cody asked.
"I think both you and I should go for the West Side first, Cody." Said Haggar. "Besides, there are lots of Mad Gear thugs over there."
"I will do the Industrial Area, alone." Said Guy.
"Are you sure about this?" Cody asked.
"Yes. I can handle this alone. A true ninja must work alone." Said Guy.
"All right, so it's settled." Said Haggar. "Cody and I will meet you later. We have to clean out the West Side first and then the Bay Area. If you find us, come help us."
"I will." Said Guy, as he went on the train to head for the Industrial Area.
