Lunar Antics Chapter 24 – Street Fight pt.1
The GAT Stadium is the home to professionally organised fights; Four person Team Deathmatches and eight person 'All-for-one' Deathmatches but no more than that. However, what authority figures like The General Raizo, emperor of Wingdom and Red Bull, Leader of the Megaforce didn't realise is that an underground battle organisation existed outside of the organised GAT Stadium and happened out on the streets.
The appropriately named 'Street Fights' were run by LJ, famed DJ and owner of Wingdom's hottest club. Something so underground and illegal ran by such a well-known figure was a dangerous move, but it had been going on for a few years undetected by any established organisation.
Usually anyone who was present in a desolated and secluded street was up for a fight and was anyone's game – people could turn up whenever and if someone was there, a battle could commence at the drop of a hat.
Sometimes for a much longer and intense battle, mail would be sent out to regular fighters who had attended previous battles to all meet up at the same time – this was one of those occasions as Funneh stood trembling with excitement with an envelope in his hands. Busy with their own events, missions and past-times, not many Lunar Members were affiliated to the Street Fight scene and Funneh wanted to keep it this way. A Street Fight was not the place for seeing friendly faces and Lunar would be best to avoid getting involved.
'A fight is inevitable with some people…' thought Funneh to himself as a dark cloaked figure with an over- accentuated tip-toe sidled up to him.
"You got the letter…" muttered the poorly disguised Kazeru from under his hood
"Kazeru, I know that's you under there" said Funneh lack-lustily with his eyebrows furrowing
"Wh-t-uuuh this is not Kazeru but Nazenu, I have infiltrated your guild to deliver this message."
"I can see your blue hair under that hood." After a short pause with no visible reaction from Kaz the hood came down and sure enough it was Kazeru exactly how he always was
"Okay, you got me, just see you there, all right?"
There were no alliances in a Street Fight, regardless of even trying not to attack certain people, there was so much chaos you were bound to hit a friend at some point. Because of this from their first encounter during a street fight Funneh and Kazeru agreed to communicate with one another as little as possible. As Kazeru briskly wandered off flapping his hood back over his head, Laurie and Mokoalw who had been eating hot chips wrapped up in newspaper watched lazily from the side.
"Yo Kaz!" cried Laurie through a burning mouthful of searing potato, but remained unharmed
"Crap, what's your mouth made of? Wax?" said Moko in a concerned tone behind his eerily calm smile and waiting for his own chips to cool down.
'Laurie can't find out about the street fights' thought Funneh as he glanced over 'No offence to him, but if he finds out he'll blab to everyone, too many people will show up and The General will find out.' Walking away from being within Laurie's eyesight Funneh opened his envelope and pulled out a piece of paper. It simple read
'An hour after sunset. Usual Place.' then stamped with the rising fist emblem of the Street Fighters. With a momentary regard Funneh had it memorized and the envelope and letter burst into flames in the clutch of his white Prominence Cross Fire Gauntlets. Funneh had been training hard with this accessory none-stop all year and had made sure never to use it against another street fighter until he was ready. In the months of training he had only burnt himself seven times. Jacky Noboru may well be the most recognised fighter with the fire cross, but Funneh was prepared to bring a brand new aspect of it to the Street Fight. The sunset had come steadily and when an hour had passed Funneh headed off for the all out brawl.
