The Ring
As Kagemaru entered the ring, he instantly grabbed Morrigan in the Ten Foot Toss. She sailed upwards, too weary to jet out of danger, and landed in Kage's flipkick. She landed hard, next to the "ropes." He then turned, to see Haohmaru. His face reddened, thinking of all the Virtua Fighters who had been eliminated by the loudmouthed samurai. He ran over to the ronin, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"HA! AH! IT IS A NINJA! MANY TIMES HAVE I FOUGHT NINJA! TRULY, I HAVE SOME OF THE WORST NINJA IN MY HOME NODE! SO, WHAT DO YOU DO?"
Kage was momentarily confused. "Whatever do you mean?"
"WHAT IS THE STYLE OF YOUR ART? I MEAN, HANZO USES THOSE FLAME STUNTS, AND GALFORD PLAYS AROUND WITH ELECTRICITY, AND EARTHQUAKE... HMMMMM... WELL, EARTHQUAKE USES HIS SIZE TO GREAT ADVANTAGE! SO, ONCE AGAIN, IN MY LEGENDARY WAY, I ASK YOU: WHAT DO YOU DO?"
"Well, I toss people up in the air..."
"NO TELEPORTING?"
"No."
"SO, IF I WERE TO SOGETSUZAN YOU OVER THE ROPES, YOU WOULD BE UNABLE TO TELEPORT AWAY FROM MY MIGHTY BLADE?"
"I could backdash instead. How's that?"
"AH!"
Over in another corner, two newly entered fighters were having a ruckus.
"I wore this uniform first!" M. Bison yelled.
"I'm afraid you are mistaken. I have been wearing this during my whole career in the army. Thus, I was obviously wearing it before you."
Bison responded by slamming Brocken down to the ground. The German World Hero responded by grabbing Bison with an extended arm and slapping him silly. While he grabbed him, he tore off Bison's jacket. Then, he stared.
"That scar... it goes all the way around your left shoulder, underneath the right pectoral, and up and over the back! My brother had a scar just like that!"
Bison was flabbergasted. "You mean...my god!" He rushed forward and enveloped Brocken in a giant bearhug. "Do you remember how I always used to pick on you? How I would break your toys? How I would tease you in front of my friends, and humiliate you in front of yours?"
Brocken's eyes narrowed. "Yup." He grabbed Bison with his extendable arm and rocketed him over to Chun Li. "Now, we're even." He smiled to himself as Chun Li went to work on Bison.
Rugal, newly entered, was having a ball. Double Reppukens were launched against all he could see. Charlotte was slammed by a Genocide Cutter. He slammed Sasquatch with a Death Wave. Finally, he turned around, to see a small, almost runty figure standing next to him. The little man barely came up to his chest.
"Hey, bub. Wanna dance?"
With that, Wolverine began clawing the living hell out of Rugal, ending the beating with a Tornado Claw that knocked Rugal over the ropes.
Meanwhile...
"PERHAPS YOU THROW SHURIKEN? OR SAI?"
"Mmmmmmm... no."
"DO YOU DISAPPEAR AND DROP FROM THE SKY?
"When I'm jumping, if you don't see me take off..."
"HA! WELL, NOW THAT WE HAVE CONVERSED, SHALL WE COMBAT ONE ANOTHER?"
"I don't see why not AGGGGGGGGH!" Kage convulsed as Haohmaru Sogetsuzaned him over the "ropes."
Over in the far corner, Sagat was busily launching a series of Tiger Blasts at Charlotte, who was blocking across the ring. She couldn't jump far enough to dodge the projectiles. What could she do?
Luckily, her prayers were answered as Nakoruru jumped into the ring, dropping down from Mamahaha... right on top of Sagat. The huge Thai fell like a sack of potatoes.
However, Nakoruru wasn't paying attention to Sagat. She only saw the wobbly Morrigan. Red with anger, she walked over to the demoness.
"You! You fight for the cause of evil! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Uhhhhhh..." was Morrigan's only reply.
"Very well!" In a huff, Nakoruru stepped back. "Go, Mamahaha!" she yelled, as a bowl of bluish light formed between her hands. As the falcon connected with the demoness, she willed the energy she controlled into her animal companion. Mamahaha wheeled back, attacking Morrigan four more times. The demoness, too tired to block, was knocked over the ropes by the relentless onslaught.
Shura was in the ring now, and had made the mistake of thinking himself a worthy opponent to Sagat. He had felt that two Muay Thais were meant to fight one another. Now, he was drastically reconsidering, as Sagat Tiger Uppercutted him across the ring.
Meanwhile, John Crawley had entered, and instantly saw his chance to redeem himself in the eyes of Mr. Big. He raced over to Sagat, and knocked him to the ground. He got up quickly, and began stomping on the prone body. He was a somebody at last!
He looked on, stunned, as Sagat suddenly and unexpectedly rolled away and stood up.
"So, you want a piece of me?"
"Ummmmmm..."
"WRONG ANSWER!" Sagat yelled, and Tiger Kneed him over the ropes.
In the stands, Mr. Big tapped Temjin on the shoulder. "Take a note. Double the bounty on our friend Mister Crawley, hmmmm?"
J. Maxx and Shura had joined forces with Brocken, and the three World Heroes began knocking Charlotte about. Maxx's great fists collided with her breastplate as Brocken bombed her and Shura jump-kicked her.
"Yeah!" yelled Shura. "This is what the World Heroes can do!"
As he cheered, he noticed Charlotte flushing in anger.
"Oh man!" Brocken yelled. "Don't give her a chance to do her..."
Charlotte leapt to her feet, and smoothly began slashing her epee in a seven-pointed-star pattern. All three World Heroes were caught in the powerful sword strokes. Shura and J. Maxx fell limply over the "ropes", but Brocken landed with a hard metal thump on the far side of the ring. Groggily, he got up, and saw a cute little face staring into his.
"Charlotte is my friend! Why did you attack her? She fights for good!"
"Huh?" muttered the very slow-on-the-uptake Brocken.
"Why, I bet you fight for evil! That's why you're fighting her, right?"
"Huh?"
"I knew it! That's inexcusable!"
"Huh?"
She slashed him across the chest. He stumbled backwards, flipping over the "ropes". His last words: "Huh?"
Meanwhile, the one-armed Chun Li was showing gumption by knocking M. Bison silly. Spinning Bird Kicks, Hundred-Foot-Kicks, sweeps, the Shadoloo fighter was feeling it all. She finished off with a high thrust kick to Bison's chin that knocked him over the "ropes".
"I never liked him anyway." she quietly grumbled to herself.
Sagat was busily slamming Sasquatch with Tiger after Tiger, easing him away to the other ropes. He hoped to knock out his second fighter of the match.
Suddenly, a buzzing burst out behind him. "Sorry, loser, but he's MY kill! And, just so you don't interfere..." Rancid swept his chainsaw down, chopping off Sagat's left arm. The huge Thai howled in pain. Luckily, Rancid's advanced chainsaw ran so smoothly, it sealed the wound as it severed the arm. Sagat took some small pleasure from this as he temporarily passed out.
The last Time Killer ran over to the stumbling bigfoot and said "Say Goodnight, Gracie!"
Sasquatch, being unable to speak most human tongues. didn't say the obvious. Not that Rancid would have allowed him that much time, as he spun around, slicing off both Sasquatch's arms and beheading him in the space of a few seconds.
Grabbing the corpse, he tossed it over the side, at the same time acknowledging the cheers from his fellow Time Killers. He turned, and just barely managed to duck as Wolverine Drill Clawed over him. Getting up, he leapt to the side as Chun Li launched herself at him with a kick. Looking around, her rolled forward as Nakoruru and Charlotte both stabbed at him with their blades. He looked up as he came out of his roll.
"HA! THAT IS A FINE BLADE YOU HAVE! BUT I BELIEVE MINE TO BE OF INFINITELY SUPERIOR QUALITY! HA!"
"Mommy!"
