When they came across another village, they saw a bar being attacked by a man with huge muscles! "I'll handle this one.", Matthew said. "Hey!", he yelled out! "Leave that barkeep alone!" "Oh?", said the muscular man. "How do you plan to stop me?" and he attacked. But Matthew blocked it with his bare hands. "Why, you... Take this!", he said, ready for another attack. But once again, Matthew had blocked it. Afterwards, he kicked the man's arm limbs and one leg limb. "Hmph.", he said. Soon, the bones began to split in half. Everyone, even Kenshiro, was shocked. "He knows Hokuto Shin Ken?", Kenshiro said. Matthew put his left hand to his hip and scratched his nose using his right hand's index finger. "Now you have no strength left. And since I'm in a generous mood, I'll let you keep your mobility.", he said. And so the muscular man limped away. Still in shock, Kenshiro ran to Matthew. "How do you know the secrets of Hokuto Shin Ken?", Kenshiro asked. "It's a secret.", Matthew answered, putting his finger to his mouth pointing upwards. But soon, people in motorcycles came, and they were terrorizing the village. Who were they working for? Everyone was screaming and panicking. "God's Army is here!", said the barkeep. "God's Army?", Kenshiro said. Then he and Matthew saw God's Army approach a bystander. Matthew dashed to rescue the bystander using Ashura Senkuu, while Kenshiro picked up the goods. "Thank you both...", said the bystander. "So, you guys are terrorizing the people of this village?", Matthew said. "Hmph.", Kenshiro said. "Well, I suppose you need to be taught a lesson. Ready, Matthew?" Kenshiro prepared for battle. "Anytime you are!", Matthew said, preparing for battle as well. And when the men of God's Army got out their weapons, Matthew used Ashura Senkuu to dodge out of their way, and then, he used Shun Goku Satsu on two of them. The symbol on his back appeared. "Messatsu!", Matthew shouted. And Kenshiro attacked the third. "Ken, you let him get away!", Bart said. "I can't let a man who takes for his own sake live." Kenshiro said. "He's already dead.", he and Matthew then said together. As the man of God's Army fled, his body began to blow up and spout blood, forcing his motorcycle to crash. "Thank you.", said the barkeep. "Take this beer as a token of my thanks." "Actually, I'll take a cup of wine, thanks.", Matthew said. The barkeep went to get some wine. "So, that technique... the, erm...", Kenshiro said. "Oh, yes. The Shun Goku Satsu.", Matthew said. Everyone started spitting out their drinks. "Shun Goku Satsu?", everyone in the bar said, then they ran for their lives. "What's gotten everyone so riled up?", said the barkeep as he gave Matthew his wine. "Apparently they're scared because I mentioned Shun Goku Satsu.", Matthew said. The barkeep started to gasp soon after. "'The' Shun Goku Satsu? The death blow that symbolizes the Satsui no Hado?", said the barkeep. "Yes, and I know that move.", Matthew said. Soon, the barkeep, Lynn, and Bart began to quiver with fear. "Don't worry, you three. It may be a killing technique, but I won't use it on any of you.", Matthew said. So, Lynn and Bart sighed in relief, but the barkeep saw God's Army soldiers and continued to quiver in fear. "To the man with seven scars! If you do not show yourself, I will kill this man and woman!", said a soldier. And he sliced the man apart. Soon, Kenshiro arrived, and he sliced the chest of the woman. "Mommy! Daddy!", said a little girl who was standing there at the time. "We don't need the bait now that the rat has arrived. Kill him!" said the soldier. And they all went for the attack! But Kenshiro countered! "Hundred Way Slash of the North Star!", Kenshiro shouted. The soldiers' bodies blew up and spouted blood. Soon, only one remained, and Matthew used Ashura Senkuu to close in for the kill. "Take this!", he said! He punched the soldier rapidly as soon as he stopped. The symbol on his back appeared again. "Messatsu!", he shouted. "Well done, Kenshiro.", said a man that couldn't be seen. Matthew sensed him however, throwing a card at Kenshiro. "Ken, watch out!", Matthew shouted. Kenshiro used Nishi Shinkuu Ha to catch the card. "This card...", Matthew said, observing the card. "It's Joker!", he shouted. Shin was right. The war of King was not yet over. Joker cackled. "Very nice observation.", he said. "I came to inform you that Sargent Mad is on his way now. So watch your back." Then he cackled again as he teleported out of sight.
