Scene 6: Faulty Towers

Atop the prestigious and luxurious skyscraper known as Geese Tower, Geese Howard, Billy Kane, Laurence Blood, Wolfgang Krauser, Kain R. Heinein, Grant, Hein, and Mr. Big all sat around a large circular table in his rooftop gazebo, discussing their latest schemes to take over South Town.

"…and that concludes my report on my plan to overthrow the local police and increase the presence of our agents within the city. Now, I want to hear everyone's reports on their efforts to strengthen my resolve," Geese speaks to everyone, concluding his lengthy speech and opening the floor for the others to chime in.

"Mr. Howard, I'm working closely with the disgraced agents of NESTS to resurrect their organization and eventually merge their membership into ours to reinforce our resources," Mr. Big announces.

"And how is that going along? Is that self-proclaimed 'God' Igniz open to negotiations? I'm not sharing the spotlight with that blonde-haired drama queen if he continues to act so grandiose," Geese responds, hands crossed in front of his chest.

"Uh…I'm working on that. He and his underlings seemed to be a bit melancholy when I spoke to them at King's Bar earlier today. I figure I resume talks when they aren't in the mood to throw tables at local patrons," Mr. Big said with a slight chuckle.

"You ought to pay them to drink more, that way they can take out South Town's Police Force one by one. I heard Igniz did a number on Deputy Chief Blue Mary who's still in the hospital," Kain said, grinning.

"Okay, what's your report, Billy?" Geese says, bringing the conversation back into focus.

"Sir! Your biggest rival, Terry Bogard, along with his brother Andy and pal Joe won't be getting in our way anytime soon," Billy says, pulling out a wedding ring from his jacket pocket. "I accosted Terry on the street earlier and this fell out of his grasp. From the recent news report, it appears Mai and Andy's wedding went up in flames because of this missing ring."

"Heh, good. And what of that Bogard kid, Terry?" Geese questions.

"He went off to be a contestant in that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament as a guest character, probably as an excuse to evade Mai until the heat dies down," Billy adds.

"Hmph, predictable. At least he didn't enter into Tekken's King of Iron Fist Tournament, that's my side-turf," Geese commented with relief. "Okay, Krauser, what's your report?"

"Well brother, I'm meeting up with Antonov and several other rich and prestigious representatives to host a collaborative KoF tournament in the near future. With this, our aim is to crush all of the other teams and whittle down our opposition on your quest for complete control of South Town," Krauser reports.

"Excellent. Let me know how that goes. We'll need all the financial support we can aquire," Geese responds. "Speaking of finances, Hein, how are repairs to my tower coming along?"

"Sir, reports are coming very slowly I'm afraid. The numerous times this building has caught on fire and the repeated incidents of you being tossed of the tower by Mr. Bogard has made your tower's infrastructure weak," Hein explains.

"What?! Who is the company we hired to handle the repairs?" Geese demands, pounding his fist on the table.

"Temjin's Construction Company, I believe," Mr. Big responds.

"Need me to rough him up to hurry with the repairs?" Grant asks Geese.

"No need, I'll deal with the repairs later. They are not of importance now," Geese dismisses the statement.

"But sir, what if you suffer another unfortunate accident?" Billy questions his boss.

"Yeah, it's a miracle you've survived the previous accidents," Laurence adds. "What's your secret?"

"Heh, Sacred Scrolls of Jin, bitches!" Geese responds with a confident sneer as he stands to his feet.

Geese walks over to the wooden railing of his tower and peers over the massive city. He leans his back against it while facing his guests.

"In due time, all of our combined efforts will bear fruit as we will be become the most feared syndicate around. No 'Art of Fighting' or 'Fatal Fury' will be able to stand up against our might. This will be the year that Geese Howard will reign supreme in all of…"

CRACK!

Geese's speech was cut short as the railing behind him suddenly gave-out, causing his to immediately fall backwards and off of the tower.

"WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Geese yells as his voice trails…

WHAM!

…ending with him crashing onto the streets below.

Everyone in the gazebo immediately stood and ran to the edge of the tower to see the scene of the fall as they witness a now-dazed Geese had landed on the hood of a very expensive vehicle.

Out of the vehicle steps out Cheng Sinzan as began yelling expletives at Geese all the while.

"…Shall we break for lunch?" Billy says to everyone, breaking the silence.

"Yeah…" everyone responds in unison as they agree to postpone the meeting until Geese recovers from his fall and from the wrath of an angry fat Hong Kong tycoon.
