Return of the Evil Choujin

Arc 18 part 2: A Rematch for the Ages

The whole audience stared at this sight. Even though he was a bad guy, that was not the best way to go down. Nobody had actually wanted him to die.

Nathan just stared at this sight and lowered his head. Neil had really been given no other choice.

Dorykid just bit his lip and held onto Alice. Alice tried to hold in her tears.

Jonus just bit his lip and tried to stop himself from getting emotional over a bad guy's death.

Jasmine had to admit that she had no idea how to feel. Sure, Mando was evil, but was this really what he deserved?

Seadog Kid just tried to ignore this with a big fish but it didn't help. Jr. and Savageman were busy setting up a ritual for this.

Molly had to admit that even though Mando was a big jerk, she felt sorry for him. Josh just stared at the screen for a whole minute, unable to move, just wondering if what he'd seen was an illusion.

And as if the other stuff before hand hadn't affected Kara before, now she was breaking out into tears. She hadn't allowed herself to cry in a long time, and when her parents came into the room to calm her down, they saw the screen and couldn't help but gaze upon this horrid sight.

Suddenly, a ship docked in the area as a familiar man came out. Everyone was surprised to see Kinniku Mantarou exiting the ship.

"Thank you, Neil," he said, wrapping his arms around his son's corpse, "you gave him the punishment he deserved."

"No, I didn't," Neil remarked, "I caused his death! How in God's name did he deserve that?"

Mantarou just cried and said, "Because that was the only way to stop him! After seeing how a fair fight goes against him, it's obvious that your method was the only way to take care of him! But now I have no one! No more children in my family!"

Then another ship pulled up as a beautiful young woman came out and said, "Mantarou, is it true that our son's are dead?"

"Yes, Reiko," Mantarou cried, hugging his wife, "Say, what's with the gut?"

"I'm pregnant again," Reiko said with a look of both happiness and worry, "The doctor said we're having a beautiful baby girl."

"That's wonderful," Mantarou said, "but we still can't bring back our sons."

"That's where you're wrong," said a deep voice.

Everyone gasped in shock as 7 heads floated around the ring. Could it be? The Kinnikuman Gods? They hadn't appeared in a long time.

"Why are you here?" Mantarou asked as the main head gazed down upon him and said, "Your son, Mando, could have done great things. That is why we have decided to give him a second chance. We will return him to you as a newborn baby and he will grow up with a good soul. If you don't want that, we can bring back Mentar at the same age he was when he died."

Mantarou thought about this, looked over at his wife and said, "I'll have my little Mando back. I want him to be good at all cost."

And so, a magic power surrounded the area and a handsome little baby rested in the Choujin's arms wrapped in a blanket.

"You're back on Earth," Mantarou sniffed, "our little Mando."

Then he pulled out a new mask, placed it around his son's face, held him up over his head and announced, "THIS BOY WILL GROW UP TO BE A HERO!"

The crowd was cheering for this new upside.

"Well, since he's a kid, he'll at least be able to make friends with his new sister," Mantarou said, "Also, his sister will teach him to be kind to others and enjoy tea parties."

"LIKE HELL!" Reiko remarked, "We're naming our daughter Rinko and she will grow up with be a hero Choujin! For once, a girl will be a wrestler in this family! You'd better start stitching up a mask that actually looks appealing to the public eyes rather than that pig face the boys get!"

"Yes, dear," Mantarou said, smiling weakly. Then that was it. The two waved goodbye to the heroes and took off.

Minnie just sighed as she started to get up.

"Man, I wish Dad would back down so easily against mom like that..." sighed out Minnie, "Anyway, better get going. I think Ares is still asleep right now..."

Molly was just gleaming with big happy puppy eyes at the whole scene. Sure, Mando's death was a brutal sight, but the results were heartwarming.

Josh just laughed with joy at this wonderful scene. He didn't really expect this.

Kara had to admit that after seeing Mando's death, she was afraid to ever see a wrestling match again, even on the TV, but after seeing that cute and touching moment, she knew that she had to see a match up close with her friends, and her parents naturally approved. They let her do anything, anyway. She wasn't their little girl anymore. She was only 5 days away from becoming 18.

Getting back home, Minnie just sighed as she deleted the 54 messages on the answering machine of her father telling her to come home right now before her mom came on the line and forced him off. Man, she didn't know with those two... That was before she turned her attention towards Ares, who was sleeping in the chair in front of the TV.

"Ares... wake up..." whispered Minnie as she started to poke her older brother away, only to have him stir a bit in his sleep.

Sushiman and Lisa met up with each other in the middle of the streets and both told each other of the miracle that had just taken place at the same time. Lisa jinxed him and Sushiman had to pay her 1000 yen for her to say his name.

Then the two walked into the house and said, "Hi, Ares, guess what..."

Seeing the TV still on the wrestling channel, which, don't forget, was replaced by a program about lesbians making out when matches weren't taking place, they figured that Ares had already seen the miracle.

Arc 19: Tag Team Tournament Begins

Well, the month passed by quickly. There was only 1 day until the tournament started, so everyone was packing up for the flight to Tokyo.

"Hurry up with your bags!" Neil shouted as Rosaline sighed, "I can't believe we're not staying here for my birthday."

"Happy birthday," Dorykid said upon hearing that, "ironic that it's a week after Neil's."

Yes, not much had happened within a month, but now was the time, so everyone got packed up and boarded the plane.

Sushiman ran into Ares' house using a spare key Lisa had been given by Ares. In other words, Lisa was the one who opened the door.

Sushiman kicked the bedside and spat, "Come on, we gotta get a move-on! The tournament's tomorrow!"

And so, everyone had boarded a plane. As heroes, they were all given first class seats to fly off to Tokyo.

Neil, Jasmine and Rosaline sat together while Nathan, Dorykid and Alice were together. Jonus sat between 2 fan girls who asked him to sign their knockers.

Seeing her own brother signing melons, Jasmine laughed and said, "I think my brother has become a ladies man… or a pervert!"

"Yeah, he sure is popular with the ladies," Neil said, "Well, it makes sense. He gets his good looks from your family."

Jasmine nodded and asked about smarts as Neil said, "Uh… I'm not answering that question."

It was at that moment that the overhead came on and the voice came out saying, "Attention, passengers, we have just arrived in Tokyo. In just 18 hours, the tag team wrestling tournament will be taking place."

And so, the group unboarded the plane. Along the way they met up with Kiya, the girl they had met in the last tournament.

"Hey, you're that wolf girl who almost beat Sushiman," Neil said as Kiya smiled and said, "Well, good to see you guys again even though I never really got much of a chance to talk to you."

Chess and Canadakid broke up the moment to tell the girl about something cool they'd found, so she followed them.

Neil shrugged and went off to find a hotel for the night. This tournament was going to be great.

Back on Kinniku Planet...

"So what are we going to do?" Jaeger asked as Kevin said, "Well, with Mando out of the tournament, it's gonna be hard to fill that spot with his name on it. Wait, I know of a team that might be good enough for this tournament. Let's allow them to join. These two I feel have trained long enough. I will call up Rosencotsu and Guildensta." (Based off of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Hamlet)

And so, the group got a nice array of hotel rooms. As a way of preparing, each one was in a room with his/her partner.

Neil/Jasmine
Dorykid/Fernando
Jonus/Nathan
And Rosaline slept outside in the shack.

Alice, on the other hand, had gotten a much nicer hotel.

It was at this moment that the plane from Ares' city had arrived. The group exited the plane and Molly bought everyone a hotel room. Josh and Molly were in the same room with Kara sleeping on a cot in the same room. Ares and Lisa were given a bed to share while Minnie and Sushiman had a bunk bed in the same room.

Sushiman ended up getting the lower bunk.

Neil and Jasmine switched off the light and hit it in for the night as did everyone else except Rosaline who was fighting a wolf in her shack. It ended up being her second victory.

Once again, Ares took to sleeping on the floor while he allowed Lisa to have the bed. Minnie was happily sleeping away as she laid spread out on her bed, snoring away.

And so, morning came in Tokyo. Lisa had kinda intentionally rolled off the bed in the middle of the night and was now sleeping on top of Ares, his face right between her boobs.

Meanwhile, Sushiman had woken up and climbed to the bottom, waking Minnie up. Then he stepped outside, met up with his partner and took off towards the fight area.

Culedhel and Jessica awoke as well. Culedhel knocked on Savageman's door as the boy woke up and joined his partner. Meanwhile, Seadog Kid and Jr. woke up a few minutes later and met up with their friends outside of the hotel.

Kiya awoke and knocked on Canadakid's door as the boy rubbed his eyes and walked off with her to Chess' house, waking him up as well.

Ezira and X had gotten up extra early to practice while Hexagon and Gazellekid got up hours later to get to the fight area.

Neil had also awoke and waited a while for Jasmine, then they headed off with their friends toward the fight area.

It was at this moment that a shuttle pulled up and many gathered to greet the two heroes that emerged, Rosencotsu and Guildensta. Not much was known about them except that they had spent a lot of their lives training, so people had high hopes for these two.

And so, as usual, many had shown up to watch the tournament from all across the globe. Neil's family was there, heck just about everyone had shown up. Yoshigai stood tall in the announcer's booth with Kazuo just showing up at the last minute.

He pulled out his microphone and announced, "Welcome all to the new tag team tournament! We will see many fighters battle it out in teams! Many you will have seen in the last Choujin Crown because each team captain is one of the Choujin who made it to the first round of the Choujin Crown. Meanwhile, some will have teammates that you've never seen and to make the number of matches divisible by 8, we've added a few that either weren't in the last tournament or were in the elimination round only."

Yoshigai pulled out a piece of paper as the audience became impatient and said, "Now each match starts off as tag team match, but after the first 2 minutes, a merger takes place and team mates may fight together. Anyway, the first match is between Team Spear and Team Warhead!"

With that, Rosencotsu and Guildensta entered the ring receiving many cheers. Then Rocketman and Tankman entered the ring receiving similar treatment. The crowd remembered these two from the last tournament, so they were naturally eager to see a winner.

Neil sat down to watch the match and looked around. After a while, he saw something odd and asked, "Say, Jasmine, did you see Rosaline go somewhere? She doesn't seem to be with us."

The match began as Rosencotsu ran at Tankman. Tankman simply picked him up and held him up to his gun barrel firing a blast directly at his chest.

The crowd started to cheer for Tankman as the weapon started to bend Rosencotsu's legs.

Minnie was really getting into the match along with her friends, but Ares was fast asleep. This had been going on for a while. If he wasn't eating or fighting, he was sleeping.

Tankman bended the boy's leg saying, "Wow, this from all your training. I'm sorry, but this is disappointing."

Rosencotsu held out his hand and uttered, "Tag me," as Guildensta nodded, tagged his partner and entered the ring, kicking Tankman hard in the chest and sending him on his back.

The crowd started to cheer for Team Spear upon seeing this, but Tankman saw through this whole act of theirs. Had he not switched places, Tankman wouldn't have been hit in the first place.

But it seemed as if Guildensta was stronger as he delivered many rapid kicks at his opponent's face. Then he slammed Tankman to the ground and started to bend his chin.

Tankman had to admit that maybe Guildensta was the power of the team. That was until he attempted to escape the hold and found himself doing it quite easily.

Yoshigai stared and shouted, "Tankman got out of that hold so easily!" as Tankman held his foe above his head, tossing him into the air and sending a barrage of missiles out of his gun barrel directly at his opponent.

Guildensta lay on the ground, smoking after that last attack, but he was not going to give up, so he ran passed Tankman and tagged his partner as Rosencotsu flipped into the ring and landed a blow to Tankman's chest.

Well, while the match progressed, Rosaline was still nowhere in sight. It didn't matter because now Rosencotsu had received some cheers from the audience.

Tankman was rather annoyed when the man started to bend his arm. It certainly hurt more and he couldn't get out of the hold after. After it seemed that his bone was just ready to snap, he felt the hold weaken and got out of it, hurling Rosencotsu into the air and firing a large nuclear warhead at him.

He grinned and thought, 'I've figured it out. Every time one of them enters a ring, he gains a temporary power boost, but after about 10 seconds, all that power goes away. These guys aren't all that strong after all.'

Sadly, before he could deliver the finishing blow, the bell dinged and Yoshigai announced, "It is time for the merger!"

Rocketman grinned and said, "Finally, I can be in this!"

Upon hearing the word merger, Guildensta joined his partner and said, "Let's take these two down together!"

Then they propelled themselves off of the rope, sent a huge double fly kick towards them and shouted, "FRIENDSHIP FEET!" landing the blows dead on their chests, knocking them to the ground.

Then Rosencotsu shouted, "We won, my good friend!" as the two started to dance and sang, "Well, we did it! We defeated our foes! By the look of their faces they won't get up soon!"

But it was at this moment that Rocketman and Tankman both got to their feet, grinned wickedly at the duo. Then Tankman expanded the size of his gun barrel and placed Rocketman inside of it.

"ROCKET LAUNCHER!" he shouted as Rocketman flew out of the barrel and into the duo, taking them out as Kazuo announced them the winners.

Kazuo pulled out a piece of paper and said, "The next match is between Team America and Team Wild Monsters!"

With that, Rosencotsu and Guildensta got up and said, "We just need to try harder," and exited the ring.

Then Hexagon and Gazellekid entered the ring to receive many cheers. Culedhel and Savageman followed and each team took a battle stance.

Yoshigai was just about to ring the bell when someone handed him a piece of paper and he said, "Hold on, we'll start the match once I'm done signing my kid's report card."

Everyone did a face fault as Yoshigai spent 5 minutes putting down a signature, then he shouted, "LET GET READY TO RUMBLE!" and dinged the starting bell.

Culedhel grinned and formed an axe in his hand, throwing one to Savageman and showing it off to the crowd. (Oh, here's a quick warning. Neither of them actually use the axes. I dunno why, but the real Culedhel added those in and I decided not to edit that scene out)

Gazellekid was scared at the sight of this and spat, "Hey is that legal?"

Yoshigai consulted the book and said, "Well, he didn't enter the match with it, so even though it's technically a weapon, he made it with his body, and therefore it is legal."

Hexagon rolled his eyes and said, "I would have accepted it even if it was illegal."

And so, he sent Gazellekid out to face Culedhel for the start of the match.

"You're a chicken!" Culedhel shouted as he began to run around Gazellekid, slashing him with his sword.

Gazellekid felt a bleeding spot on his chest as a result of that slash and thought, 'Okay, maybe Culedhel's right. I need to start showing some back bone.'

And so, he ran at his opponent, grabbed onto him and kicked him 5 times in the knees. Then he clocked Culedhel a good one over the head and threw him on his back then delivered a flip kick to the fox's head.

Finally, he pulled out his wrist guard and shouted, "ANTLER FIST!" sending his antlers at Culedhel's face, but seconds before that happened, he found his antlers caught right up against Culedhel's blade.

"You won't defeat me so easily," Culedhel said as he kneed Gazellekid in the chest then shouted, "WHITE FLASH SLASH!" slashing Gazellekid hundreds of times and jumping backwards.

Gazellekid clutched onto his bleeding chest and thought, 'Damn, that almost killed me.'

Then he quickly popped a small pill into his mouth. It was meant to repair skin over a period of time, and with these wounds, another attack would easily kill Gazellekid... along with getting Culedhel disqualified, but still, that wasn't fun. Also, he had slipped it in very quickly. As such, even Culedhel hadn't noticed it either.

Seeing as the pill wouldn't work fast enough, he ran over to Hexagon and tagged him as Hexagon said, "You actually did a fairly decent job. I'll give you that," then faced Culedhel as Savageman held his arm out, eager to take on this replacement.

As Savageman was tagged in, he transformed into the same destructive beast from the Choujin Crown and bit down on Hexagon's shoulder.

Hexagon forced Savageman's mouth open and kicked him into the rope. Then he ran at him, elbowing Savageman in the gut, punching him in the face and throwing the Choujin over his head.

Upon hitting the ground, Savageman returned to his human form and gave Hexagon and Flying Axe Kick. Then he leapt into the air, became his beast form again and body slammed his opponent.

"Wow, it's been very interesting so far," Yoshigai said, "It looks like Team Wild Animals could win, though. They've been showing a lot more force in this match."

But Hexagon was not through. He delivered a kick to Savageman's chin then propelled himself off of the ropes shouting, "STARS AND STRIPES!" delivering a kick to Savageman's head forming stars while soaring to the other side in a stripe formation.

Then he did the same thing on the other side of the rope and kept it up for some time.

After a while, this was becoming annoying. It was time for one of Savageman's oldest moves.

He held his hand up to the side of his face and shouted, "URARARARARARARARA!" sending out a massive shockwave that sent Hexagon flying into a wall outside of the ring.

Before Yoshigai could start the count down, Hexagon recovered and flew back into the ring, shouting, "NUCLEAR BOMB!" and landing a kick to Savageman's chest.

Sadly, it was at this moment that Kazuo said, "The merger has now begun!" and Gazellekid had no choice but to join his partner in the ring.

Culedhel grinned wickedly and joined his partner in the ring. Savageman held Culedhel by his legs and spun him around, throwing him at Hexagon. During this time, Culedhel transformed his hand into a drill and started to spin, so when he hit Hexagon, it did massive damage.

Hexagon clutched onto the spot that was bleeding and moaned, "Gazellekid, we're going to need a new plan of action."

"You can't mean..." Gazellekid started as Hexagon nodded.

With that, he picked up Gazellekid and swooped towards Culedhel, tossing Gazellekid at him. Gazellekid held out his antlers shouting, "FLYING ANTLER FIST!" and the crowd was quite surprised when the antlers literally dug into Culedhel's flesh.

Then Hexagon shouting, "NUCLEAR BOMB!" delivering another powerful kick to Savageman's gut.

Culedhel was ready to finish Gazellekid for good, so he held up a flaming fist and shouted, "DEATH PUNCH!" landing a very powerful blow to Gazellekid's back.

Savageman grabbed a hold of Hexagon's legs and shouted, "TAMAHAWK CHOP!" slamming his fist hard into the legs.

Gazellekid fell to the ground in defeat after taking in that. Hexagon was still standing, but he saw no hope after his partner had been defeated so he just sighed and threw in the towel.

"That's it!" Yoshigai announced, "Team Wild Animals advances to the next round!"

With that, the crowd cheered.

Gazellekid smiled and said, "You guys sure are good," as Hexagon refused to speak. He never spoke to anyone unless they were allies.

Yoshigai pulled out a piece of paper and announced, "The next match is between Team Ageless and Team Mask."

Team Ageless consisted of Ezira and X while Team Mask was Nathan and Jonus.

Then each team entered the ring as Jonus said, "I don't wear a mask," as Nathan remarked, "True, but I'm the team captain, so we're named after me."

"But Ezira and X share a common theme," Jonus said, "They can both live up to more than 200 years."

"Don't make me strike you," Nathan retorted as the starting bell sounded.

And the match began with Jonus wanting the first go at X. X charged at Jonus who simply high kicked him hard in the face.

As X flew up into the air, he aimed his blaster downward and shouted, "X BUSTER!" sending a blast at Jonus who simply jumped over it and shouted, "HEAD SMASHER!" delivering a hard kick to the reploid's skull and sending him down into the mat.
