Return of the Evil Choujin

Filler: More on Ares

Lisa took him into her room and sat him down, cooking him some dinner. She smiled and wondered why she was so eager to have him in her hotel room.

Sitting there in the room, Ares just stayed silent for almost the whole time before looking up at Lisa, "Thanks for...yer know listening," he said, "I rarely find someone to talk too."

Lisa chuckled and said, "Well, you're my friend, and I should support you. Anyway, I made some meatballs for dinner."

Ares just smiled a bit, "Smells good... hadn't had a good home cooked meal for awhile. Mom was the only one that could do it. Anyone else tried… it ended with a trip from the fire department."

Then Lisa said, "Well, this hotel room only has one small bed, so you'll have to share that with me. Don't get any ideas."

Ares turned as red as his hair as he shook his head and said, "Ah...I'll just sleep on the floor. Toss me a blanket and I'm good."

Lisa actually wanted Ares to sleep with her, so she said, "The only blanket we have is on the bed. Speaking of which, we have about 2 hours until we should go to sleep."

"Oh...well, then what do ya want to do for the rest of the while," respond Ares. He was still a little thrown over from her suggestion about sharing the bed. He just didn't want to...crush her.

"Well, we can just talk," Lisa said, "So, tell me a bit about your history. Why are you so obsessed with winning? There's gotta be a reason, like a humiliation or something."

"Nah, I just want to prove I am the best," responded Ares as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Losing doesn't prove that, winning does. My old man taught me everything he knew, all sorts of moves and how to improve on new moves I see... I just don't like when I lose even after all that."

Well, that was that. The two talked more and more until nightfall came. Oh, and Neil got his pants ripped off by Fernando while talking to Jasmine and she slapped him. It was a good night.

When the next morning came, Lisa awoke to see Ares snuggling right up to her, a giggle and blush on her face. She hated to do fiendish things, but she was very playful right now, so she moved his hand, which was resting on her belly, and placed it palm downwards on her breast. She actually liked the feeling. Ares may have been tough, but his skin was surprisingly soft.

Shifting a bit in his sleep, Ares just let out a yawn as he finally started to wake up. The semi-finals were today and he would have to hurry up if he wanted to wish Sushiman good luck. He would need it again Mando from what he saw.

While he was hard to wake up normal, he felt something soft against his hand. Still out of it, he thought it was his pillow and just softly grabbed it. It was with that he realized it wasn't his pillow. Staring wide eyed, he noticed Lisa there, lying with him and he was holding on her...

"Ack!" he cried out and rolled out of the bed, "Ouch..."

Lisa laughed and said, "Sorry, I was just joking around with you, Ares. Yeah, I put your hand there."

Arc 16: Semifinals

Everyone awoke nice and early and assembled in front of 2 platforms.

"Now the Choujin will be fighting in these two rings," Yoshigai said, "The platforms will rise every minute, so if you get a ring out, you may not be able to get back into the ring in time. Anyway, Neil and Nathan will fight in the left ring while Mando and Sushiman fight in the right one."

Then the fighters entered their designated arenas.

The match started as Neil and Nathan just looked at one another.

"You are truly a great fighter," Nathan said, "but this will be your first loss in your entire career."

Neil grinned and said, "Just try and make those words true," and the two ran at one-another.

Sushiman sprinted towards Mando with fire in his eyes and delivered a hook line to the Kinnikuman's neck. Then he threw Mando into the air and leapt up at him off of the ropes. He placed his hands against Mando's wrists and wrapped his feet around Mando's ankles.

It looked good for Neil so far. He managed to throw Nathan on his back and started to bend the boy's leg until Nathan kicked Neil off of him and delivered a suplex.

Sushiman started to spin his body around like a wheel. The crowd was familiar with this attack. Yoshigai gasped and shouted, "Ramenman used that move against Buffaloman many years back! This is a very powerful attack!"

Neil recovered, rubbing his head and grabbed onto Nathan. He was ready to attack when Nathan reversed with a grapple of his own and lifted Neil upside down, slamming Neil's head hard against his knee as the crowd started to cringe.

Just as Neil got up and was ready to attack, the minute had passed and the ring started to rise. Neil could barely balance himself with the movement of the ring, but Nathan was in full control.

He picked up Neil and threw him diagonally into the air. Since the ring had moved, Neil's head ran into the pole when it stopped moving.

While Sushiman continued to spin around with his opponent, the ring below them started to rise. Soon enough, the ring ran into both of them and sad to say, Sushiman was the one on the ground right under Mando when it happened, and the ring dealing damage to his back didn't help.

Mando grinned wickedly and landed a hard kick to Sushiman's gut just as the ring finally stopped rising.

Mando started to bend the Choujin's legs.

Neil rubbed his head from the attack as Nathan walked up to him and landed a powerful kick to his chest. Then he lifted Neil over his head and shouted, "TOWER BRIDGE!" planting Neil's back into the spike atop his mask.

Nathan grimaced under his mask when Neil took in major pain.

"What happened?" Nathan asked, "You've hardly done a thing to me. I thought you were better than this."

Neil grunted upon hearing these words. Nathan was right. Neil had pulled through some of the worst predicaments possible over the past, so he had to be able to get out of this. Nathan's eyes widened when Neil tucked his wolf tail under the man's armpit and started to tickle it.

Eventually, Nathan let go, laughing from the pressure as the crowd cheered and Neil slammed him hard against the pole. Then he threw the boy into the air, grabbed onto his legs and shouted, "FULL MOON REVERSE DROP!" slamming hard into the mat and dealing heavy damage.

Sushiman was not going to let himself lose, so he used his legs to propel Mando into the air. As Mando descended towards the ground, Sushiman got on his back and used his feet to catch the Kinnikuman in the air and start juggling him around with his feet. Then he locked his legs around Mando and slammed him hard against the surface while the crowd cheered even louder.

"Go Fishy go!!" shouted Ares as he stood up from his seat. He was just thankful he was able to catch the start of the match, even after the whole thing with Lisa. He just cheered along, nice and loud with the crowd as he watched Sushiman taking Mando down.

Mando got up and rubbed his head.

"So, you do have the skills of your grandfather," Mando said, cracking the muscles in his neck back into place, "Well, this should be good. Oh, I want you to know something."

"What is it?" Sushiman asked as Mando grinned wickedly and said, "Your grandfather didn't die from old age. He was the first to discover that I was evil, and I didn't want people to know it at the time, so I killed him after completely owning him, and all at the age of 10. Of course, my parents still thought I was good until now."

Sushiman angrily bit his lip and shouted, "DRAGON KICK!" landing a fierce kick to the boy's chest.

Then he pinned Mando to the ground and started to pull on his chin shouting, "I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Now there's the challenge I've been expecting!" Mando shouted as the Kinniku Kanji appeared on his forehead.

As he knocked Sushiman off of him, the ring started to rise again.

"Perfect, now we're 4 stories off of the ground," Mando said, "This is too perfect."

Then he delivered some kind of strange blow that left Sushiman disabled as he propelled himself off of the ropes and shouted, "MUSCLE MILLENIUM!" slamming his head hard into the man's gut and sending him flying out of the ring and descending towards the ground.

If somebody didn't save him, he'd be in the hospital for a long time. Sadly, nobody knew what to do and just stood there.

"Fishy!" cried out Ares as he jumped out of his seat and ran over to see if he could save his friend. He couldn't understand what could have gone wrong. Everything looked fine from where he was standing. No, Sushiman had to be alright.

Mando laughed as Ares, Jasmine and Jonus ran into the area at once, catching Sushiman upon his descent.

Sushiman looked up and said, "Ares, if the winner of that other match doesn't defeat Mando, I want you to kick his ass if you ever see him after this tournament. That bastard killed my grandfather."

Surprisingly, he was able to move still, but since he had been knocked out of the ring for more than 10 seconds, he'd lost.

"We may as well take him to a hospital," Jasmine said while Ares rested his arm on Sushiman's shoulder and said, "I'll get him for yer sake."

"I'm okay," Sushiman said, "I didn't hit the ground, so I didn't take in massive damage."

Neil and Nathan watched the conclusion as Neil said, "Poor guy," then noticing his opponent was still up smacked Nathan to the ground.

Nathan got up and said, "You had your little moment, but I have sworn to outdo my father, so I will not lose to anyone who isn't a Kinnikuman!"

Then he threw Neil into the air, and as Neil descended, crushed the boy's head between his legs shouting, "LONDON BRIDGE FALLING DOWN!"

Neil fell to the ground, rubbing his face and said, "Okay, now I need to get more serious."

Neil grabbed onto Nathan and threw Nathan over his head only for the Mask to reverse it and slam Neil's head against the mat.

Neil continued to take in a beating as fire entered his eyes. He was tired of this match. He just wanted to face Mando after all the disgraceful things that man had done, so he threw Nathan into the air.

Then he leapt up at him and locked the claws of his feet into the side of Nathan's mask, creating a set of small holes. Then he flipped Nathan upside down, heading towards the ground and shouted, "HALF MOON DRIVER!" slamming the man's head into the mat and defeating him for good.

The crowd cheered when Yoshigai dinged the bell and announced Neil's win.

"Alright, the final match between Neil and Kinniku Mando will take place tomorrow at noon," Yoshigai announced, "They will fight in the same arena where the first match took place! We'll also have a few special guests there to watch the match, so be there, everyone!"

"Good luck tomorrow, Neil!" Jasmine shouted, happily giving the boy a kiss.

Well, the first thing Neil did when he went home that night was train his heart out. Mando almost seemed invincible, but Neil had to win at all cost.

He did various exercises and requested that no one bother him. Even so, everyone agreed to help him train by giving him extra weights, facing him in practice matches and so on.

Neil almost managed to beat Dorykid, Nathan and Rosaline all together in a practice match, but lost when Nathan delivered a small kick to his shin. Well, he was fighting three opponents at once. It was hard.

Well, the day passed by and soon everyone could do nothing but rest. After a good number of hours, it was morning and everyone awoke to a bright day. They all looked outside and saw Neil having a practice match with Fang.

Jasmine looked out at him and asked, "Are you ready, Neil?"

Neil didn't hear her or anyone. He was too focused on this whole thing. Neil felt that he was ready, but now was not a time to be ignorant. He'd almost lost to Jonus and Nathan, and if he had so much trouble beating them, then what was he to Mando? He needed to be stronger than Mando now.

And luckily for him, Mando was not training for his match. Instead, he just slept in the ring where he was to fight, just waiting for noon to come. He hadn't even eaten breakfast yet.

Arc 17: Final Match

Waking up for the finals, Ares actually spent the night in his own hotel room. Ready, he walked out to meet up with Sushiman and Lisa to head out to the match.

And so, the 4 hours of morning passed and it was noon.

Everyone had gathered around to watch the final match between these two fighters. Who would have guessed that a hero and a villain would go head to head in the final match?

"Well, we are here to witness an event that should astound you all!" Yoshigai announced as the crowd cheered.

"The final match between Neil and Mando is underway! With us are many of the past generation legends, Kinniku Mantarou, Kevin Mask, Werewolf, Checkmate, Terrykid and Jaeger!"

The crowd cheered as the 6 legends waved to the crowd. They were also offered to state their own thoughts on the matter.

"Well, I'm worried that Neil might not win," Mantarou said, "I hope he does because my son deserves to be punished for what he's done. Still, every time the Choujin Crown comes up, the winner is always a member of the Kinnikuman Family, so naturally, I'm worried."

Werewolf beat his chest proudly and said, "Well, my son has made great strides. He was second-last in the Hercules Factor, and yet look at him! He's undefeated! I think he can do it!"

"Well, I haven't seen much from Neil," Terrykid said, "Heck, he was a wimp when he faced Mantarou, but now look at him. I have confidence in his abilities."

"He defeated my son," Kevin said, "That takes some skill."

And so, the two fighters entered the ring as Neil was met with many cheers and his family howled into the sky.

"YOU CAN DO IT, NEIL!" Jasmine shouted, "I KNOW YOU CAN!"

Then a bunch of audience members sighed and thought, 'When is that girl gonna stop acting so air headed?'

Sitting back in his seat, Ares just sat there to watch. In case Neil lost this match, he would have to be ready to jump in. There was no way he could allow Mando to walk away standing. Not after all he had done.

Neil smiled and waved at the crowd, but he was not going to be boastful about this. Even though he was excited to be in this match, he was determined to win and he did not wish to lose to this horrible man. And he deserved a victory. He had trained long and hard for this while Mando had done nothing to prepare himself.

The match began as Neil ran at Mando with blinding speed and struck the boy in the face. Then he punched Mando 4 times in the gut and slammed the boy over his shoulder.

The crowd cheered as Kazuo said, "Neil's off to a great start. He's really going passed his limits."

"You see this?" Neil asked, bending the boy's legs, "This is the result of hours of hard work and training. You didn't bother to train, and that's why you're going to lose."

Then he threw Mando into the pole and delivered a powerful flying kick to his chest.

The crowd burst out into rapid cheers and roars of support when Neil continued to give Mando a serious beating. First, he kicked Mando in the leg, then threw him into the ropes. Then he elbowed the man hard in the face and threw him up in the air.

Everybody knew what Neil was going to do.

Neil flipped the boy over and shouted, "FULL MOON DROP!"

But as he descended towards the ground, Mando was fully awake and flipped his body around, grabbing onto Neil's head and flipping the boy over shouting, "KINNIKU DRIVER!" driving Neil's head hard into the mat.

Jasmine gasped and Nathan and Dorykid's eyes widened. Alice was worried for her friend, Culedhel and his friends cringed and Jonus held onto his sister.

Neil recovered as the crowd fell silent.

"What happened just now?" Yoshigai asked as Kazuo said, "Well, Kinnikuman don't lose easily. Neil started well, but it's easy to get an early lead on someone."

Mando laughed and said, "You're not as weak as I first expected you'd be," then lifted Neil above his head said, "That training may have helped you, but you are no threat to me!"

Then he slammed Neil hard into his knee and threw him into the pole. Then he sent a flying kick to Neil's chest and delivered a German Suplex.

Neil got up from the attack with fire in his eyes while the audience started to cheer.

"I trained for hours on end to prepare for you!" he growled, "You are not going to win! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE IT!"

But as he grasped onto Mando's shoulders, the man grinned and flipped Neil over his shoulder and onto the mat.

But Neil was not going to lose, so he wrapped his legs around Mando's leg and tripped him. Then he leapt high into the air and shouted, "Time to use another of my father's techniques! MANDABLE DRILL!"

Then he descended hard towards the ground, spinning around and struck Mando in the back hard with his claws, blood gushing from Mando's mouth.

The crowd cheered in amazement as Werewolf let down a tear and cried, "I'm so proud of him!"

Mando groaned as he climbed to his feet. He saw Neil for what he was now.

"I didn't think it could be possible," he said, coughing up more blood, "but you are actually... a THREAT!"

Then the Kanji for Kinniku appeared on his forehead.

"This is bad," Yoshigai said, "That mark always means easy victory for the Kinnikuman."

This was shown as Mando ran at Neil, fire burning within him. He clutched onto the boy, threw him high into the air and leapt up at him. Then he split Neil's legs apart from each other, placed Neil's neck against his shoulder and shouted, "KINNIKU BUSTER!" slamming him hard into the mat.

Nathan just started to tremble at the might of this while Dorykid bit his lip.

Neil had taken in one of the most powerful of Kinnikuman attacks. But everyone cheered when they saw that he was still able to stand, and rather well after taking in all that.

"That training did more than just make me stronger," he said, "It boosted my vitality."

Then he threw Mando up into the air, holding his claws up and said, "Time for the last of my father's moves that I haven't used yet. This is his strongest technique!"

The crowd cheered upon hearing this. Everyone knew what Neil was going to do, especially his mother and his brothers, who howled into the sky.

Neil leapt up at Mando with his claws up and shouted, "SOLAR ECLIPSE!" as his body lit up and his claws planted themselves hard into Mando's back.

Mando coughed up more blood than the average man should and fell to the ground. Neil waved in triumph at the crowd as everyone cheered for the hero who stood before them.

Then Neil did a few poses for the random cameras and sang, "The beef of the cow, see it says 'Moo, moo, moo'! The cow of the rice is really so tender! The rice of the cow is really so tasty! Ah-ahhh-ah-ah-oh-ahhAh! Beef Bowl!"

Neil started to tremble when he heard the sound of hands pushing against the mat. No. How could this happen?

He slowly made his way around and faced his opponent to see that Mando was still standing, but now his muscles were even bigger.

He screamed in terror at the sight of this, hugging against the pole and sucking his thumb like a baby while the audience just stared in horror.

"There's no way," Yoshigai said, "He took in one of the most deadly attacks known to man and he's still standing?"

"Here's a hint of advice," Mando said, "Make your claws as strong as your father's and maybe that would be able to defeat me."

Then he threw Neil into the air, leapt up after him, wrapped his arms around the boy's chin and his legs around his torso. Then he pulled up on both ends shouting, "KINNIKU PUNISHER!" and sent Neil flying down into the mat.

Everyone stared in silence as Neil had completely blanked out.

Kazuo positioned his glasses and said, "It appears as if Neil lost."

Yoshigai let down a long array of tears and cried, "HOW COULD HE LOSE AFTER ALL OF THAT!"

Then he dinged the bell and shouted, "MANDO WON! HE WILL NOW RECIEVED HIS TROPHY! PARDON ME! I NEED SOME ALCOHOL TO IGNORE THIS!"

Then while he chugged down the sake, Mando picked up Neil by his neck and said, "If killing my opponent wasn't illegal in tournaments, I'd murder you right now! Be warned! If I EVER see you again, you die!"

Standing up, Ares just hissed towards Ares. No! No! This should never happen. Walking up to the ring, Ares just stood out of it and glare, "You drop the dog boy down, ya SOB!" he growled out.

"YEAH! Jasmine shouted in anger, "HOW COULD NEIL LOSE? YOU DESERVE TO DIE, YOU BASTARD!"

The crowd started to spit at the awful kid as he raised his arms, dropped Neil hard into the mat and Yoshigai had no choice but to hand him the trophy.

Nathan and Dorykid threw stuff at him while Fernando spat on his nose. Well, the spit actually missed and got Neil in the face, but that's just how life works.

The audience continued to boo Mando as he smiled and waved at his 'adoring fans' and left the ring.

He'd never felt more alive in all his life.

Ares just glanced over towards Neil. His friends would take care of him. But he had something else to do. With a determined look on his face, Ares just took off going after Mando. Since Neil failed, he would have to do the job. Besides, he promised Sushiman that he would.

"NEIL!" Jasmine cried, running up to the boy, picking him up and sobbing, "Please tell me you're okay."

Neil slowly opened his eyes and said, "Don't worry. You remember what he said about the rules. He couldn't legally kill me back there."

Then he spaced out and started to sing, "Daisy, daisy, give me your answer too... I'm half crazy over my love of you..."

Jasmine wept when he started to space out, but said, "I'll take you home and feed you something."

Mando had already vanished before Ares could find him. Sushiman had followed Ares and said, "That man is really taking this thing far. I just wish somebody would knock some sense into him!"

Ares just growled as he turned around to Sushiman. "Yeah, and I'm going to be the one to do it. Sorry I couldn't find him to get him for ya," he sighed.

"I wish I could have defeated him, though," Sushiman cursed, "He killed my grandfather."

Neil awoke a few hours later in Jasmine's bed while his friends were all there and kindly congratulate him on his recovery. They all shared a touching group hug as Neil let down a tear of joy. He was happy to have such great friends that stuck out for him.

We now take you back to the Kinniku League Headquarters.

"This is just awful," Mantarou sobbed, slamming his fist against the table, "How could my son be such a horrible person?"

"I know there must be someone out there who can stop him," Kevin said, "We just need to wait."

"Man, aren't ya goons lost?" smirked a familiar voice as a huge red ass walked into the room with the League.

Neil sat up in his bed and said, "It's amazing. I don't feel a thing anymore. Thanks for sticking by me, guys."

"I had nothing better to do," Culedhel said, then turning to Nathan asked, "So… about our rematch?"

Nathan turned to Culedhel and said, "We may as well have that match now."

Then he walked outside and said, "You get the first strike again."

Back on Kinniku Planet, everyone in the room was shocked to see Mars standing there... and a girl with him.

"Mars, why are you here?" Terrykid asked.
