Lunar Antics Chapter 27 – Street Fight pt.4

"Well," said Masked Man in a grunt "If nobody else wants to offer themselves up to me by trying to be a hero I can finally begin the true fight."
"Who is that Masked Man…?" muttered the alleged Nazenu
"I will never tell." Said SogeMoon cheekily
"Not you, him!"
"Guys, it's Bon Seagal!" hissed Funneh panicking
"Whaaat? Nooo…" said SogeMoon pushing Funneh's shoulder lightly
"C'mon! The similarities are uncanny!"
"STREET FIGHTERS!" burst Masked Man "Thank you for gathering to sign your own death warrants. I can now bring you the slaughter…!" The lower ranked Val Sharks began to shuffle behind Masked Man, but something about the terror on their faces gave off the impression that they weren't safe even with their own member. The solidarity of every Street Fighter was threatened as they looked about nervously; were they supposed to team up against Masked Man or continue the chaotic assault in any direction. Before anyone could communicate or plan an attack Masked Man's gigantic build had started warping, for less than a second at a time Masked Man could be seen fist outstretched in front of where a person once stood. Just like how he warped about his targets mysteriously warped from view as well, just like with Squire M'Buffins earlier who had been knocked into the air far from visibility.
"Is anyone even trying!?" cried Kazeru who's horrified face was beginning to show signs of sweating "I can't see a thing with that speed.
"To think a punch that strong requires no preparation…" muttered Funneh longingly
"OKAY," boomed SogeMoon who had somehow positioned himself atop the water tank again and had his arms folded and cape swelling in the wind. "While his attention is elsewhere we will prepare out attack!" bodies were vanishing one by one as Masked Man warped about, seemingly moving his way toward the group atop the roof.
"Better plan fast, SogeMoon." said MokoLaw sternly whose unreadable face was showing signs of anxiety as he peered over the edge "I sense Masked Man entering my room!"
"For the last time, you're not like Trafalgar Law!" grumbled SogeMoon "You're only dressed like him, nothing more!"
"Speak for yourself…" grimaced MokoLaw.
"Enough!" bellowed Funneh "I'm through with you guys with your fake identities! They only seem to prevent you from actually fighting!" Then suddenly an idea lit up in his head. As their end drew near and the last of the Street Fighters were warp-punched into the air and less than half of the lower ranked Val Sharks hid behind Masked Man, Funneh revealed to the others his ultimate plan.

SogeMoon, Funneh, Nazenu and MokoLaw scattered whilst the Cat Burglar rested atop the roof. It took no time at all for Masked Man to realise and with his speed their separation hardly made a difference. Even with only two eyes Masked Man's senses were abnormally heightened with a technique called 'Oversense'. His hearing, touch, smell and even taste could detect their exact position as well as literally seeing them. But even as he "saw" them all rushing around him, his hearing sense took preference as bellowing right in front of him came
"BON SEAGAL!? IT'S YOU ISN'T IT?" It was brief but Funneh saw him hesitate in his tracks before turning – as if turning from hearing a noise and not a recognised name
"That's not me." Said Masked Man awkwardly in his gruff voice.
"Oh no of course not," Replied Funneh with a light-hearted chuckle, batting the air in front of him "but you are very similar. Possibly just as strong too!" Masked Man was acting very out of character suddenly, like he was embarrassed or nervous. The remaining Street Fighters and Val Sharks were too shell-shocked to react to Masked Man holding his wrist and twirling his toes
"Y-You have me m-mistaken for someone else I think… I don't know who Bon- uuh – Bam Seagull is."
"Oh?!" cried Funneh a little too over-exaggerated as he watched SogeMoon and the others quite opening dashing around the perimeter of the Street "He's the #1 GAT Fighter! But anyway, I would love to see the two of you battle one day. I'm sure it'd be close because your physiques are so similar." Funneh was extremely suspicious that Masked Man knew what was going on, and paranoid the plan would be uncovered. But as it turned out Masked Man was so engrossed on his double-identity he was unable to analyse his surroundings
"Yeah, um, It'd be a close fight.." he mumbled wiping sweat out from under his iron moustache. "but I think I'd win…Not that Ball Seagon, whatever his name is wouldn't be strong. I bet he's very handsome too – but..um..not as uh..handsome as me…" Masked Man or Bon Seagal was clearly a very self-centered idiot thought Funneh, unworthy of his impossible strength. Behind the Masked Man, hidden admist the lower ranked Val Sharks Funneh spotted the ripple of SogeMoon's red cape, and quickly glancing to his left and right while Masked Man was focused on how he folded his arms he spotted Fake Nazenu and MokoLaw waiting at the streets edge.

The plan had worked out miraculously, more than Funneh could've imagined; Who would've thought that the #1 Fighter with an undercover alter ego would be so nervous and feeble in the face of adversity. But would they be able to pull it off? Funneh slowly put his hands behind his back and activated his Prominence gauntlets, the flame growing in size and heat. Masked Man was completely unaware, now readjusting his mask, making sure it was solidly covering his face – why he made no effort to change his clothes from the typical outfit screaming 'Bon Seagal' no one knew.
"Hey, Masked Man." Came the low steady voice of SogeMoon from admist the Val Sharks "You're nicked. GO!"
