Chapter 25: Brothers In Arms.
Guile and Leona immediately backed away from each other as the announcer began the fight. Guile observed Leona's unorthodox fighting stance, not being anything that he's seen before. This new stance left him feeling vulnerable to surprises. Guile, thinking he had the advantage from a distance, pulled his arms back.
"SONIC BOOM!" he shouted, as he shot his arms forward, releasing a blue and yellow wave of Chi heading toward Leona, standing on the other end of the arena. Leona, having seen this type of attack before, rushed forward and used her hand to slice through the Sonic Boom, dispelling it completely. Leona then kept rushing forward, jumping into the air at the last minute. She looked down, seeing Guile's surprised look on his face. She flipped herself so that she would be able to dive-bomb down to her awaiting foe, but Guile was prepared. As Leona began her descent, Guile caught her in mid-air, throwing her across from him. However, Leona, using her quick reflexes, flipped in mid-air and was on all fours as she landed on the floor.
"Hey, girl. If you think tricks like that are going to work on me, you've got another thing coming!" Guile said, snapping at the fellow military officer.
"Heh.........you act as if I'm taking this fight too seriously," she replied, much to the ire of Guile. Guile rushed forward and threw a punting boot to the face of Leona. However, she rolled backwards, dodging the move entirely, and swept Guile's legs, knocking him to the ground. Suddenly, Leona took an earring out from her pocket and threw it at Guile, leaping into the air as she threw it. Confused, Guile took the earring and examined it until he realized a red, glowing light from it. Guile threw the earring away as it exploded. The earring was not destructive, however. Leona used a smoke bomb earring to distract Guile, as she dove down and sliced into him with her hand. As Guile took the direct hit, Leona took advantage of this and used an earring from her ear, throing it at the dazed Guile. However, Guile immediately batted it away, causing it to land on the ground. Oddly enough, this one did not detonate like the other one did and stood there. Guile then realized what that earring was. "A mine, hmm?"he thought as Leona came rushing in again, only to be met by a punch in the ribs by Guile's fist, almost embedding itself into her. As Leona doubled over in pain, Guile grabbed her arm, preparing to toss her onto the mine. However, Leona was ready for this as she turned into the arm toss, throwing Guile past her and into the mine, causing it to detonate. The earring detonated into a small bomb, leaving Guile wounded from the explosion and blown back toward the other end of the arena by the small, but potent, earring bomb Leona left. Guile, now sitting at the bottom of a wall, was taking a breather before he stepped back in to continue his fight with Leona, thinking of possible ways to defeat her.
" Damn this one! Everytime I think of something, she finds a way to counter it! I think I might have to resort to some special moves of mine."
Guile slowly got up, charging some of his energy into his foot. What "special move" is he going to employ next?
