CHAPTER 6: THE END OF THE QUALIFYING ROUNDS

bThe fifth and final day of qualifying rounds has already begun!  There are only a few more fights left, the most notable being Dan vs Robert!  Yesterday, we saw Yuri attempt to disclose Maki's secret to everyone!  Also, Ken was formulating a plan to get me to change him back (like it's really gonna work anyhow).  Let's continue on, as we begin chapter 6 in our story!

In the men's locker room/b

RYO: *takes his eye patch off and examines the eye in the mirror*  Alright!  I can see with this eye again!  No more of this eye patch for me.  *goes to throw the patch away*

SAGAT: *walking by*  Hey Ryo, what're you up to?

RYO: I'm gonna throw this god-awful patch away!

SAGAT: How come?

RYO: I'm sick of being chased by women left and right.

SAGAT: Well, you don't have to wear it all the time…just wear it when you "need" it, if you catch my drift.

RYO: Hmm…I guess you're right.  *puts patch away in his pocket*  Thanks Sagat.

SAGAT: Not a problem, little buddy.  By the way, I think I saw Todo out in the hall earlier.

RYO: Really?!  Alright, now it's payback time!  *smacks fists, and walks out of the locker room*

IIn Robert Garcia's office/I

ROBERT: Ken, we got a bit of a problem.

KEN: Yea?  *sitting with his legs open*

ROBERT: …um…Ken…could you not do that, please?

KEN: Huh?  *looks down*  EEP!  *crosses legs*  Damn that narrator!

ROBERT: So he isn't gonna change you back, yet?

KEN: No, but I know how to fix him.  Heh heh…

ROBERT: You know…that body and that voice…it's kinda sexy…

KEN: Wha?!  Aren't you and Yuri—

ROBERT: Yea…yea…

KEN: *clears throat*  Anyways, what is our problem?

ROBERT: Oh, well, our current announcer is quitting, so we need to have auditions.  We need a new announcer for the actual CvS2 tourney.

KEN: You think you can scrounge up some people?

ROBERT: I think so…meet me back here in a few hours, and we'll have the auditions then.

KEN: Alright.  *uncrosses legs*

ROBERT: AH!  DON'T DO THAT!

KEN: Whoops, sorry.  *gets up and leaves*

IIn the women's locker room/I

MAKI: *practicing with a sandbag*  Hya!  Ha!

SAKURA: Umm…so what are we doing exactly, Yuri?

YURI: We're going to prove to everyone that Maki is really Guy.

SAKURA: How do you plan on doing that?

YURI: Simple…with this bucket of cold water.

SAKURA: …are you sure you're not h—

YURI: *puts hand over Sakura's mouth*  Don't you dare say it!  You want another escapade with my dad?

SAKURA: *muffled*  No.

YURI: Alright, good.

SAKURA: But why do I have this video camera, Yuri?

YURI: I wanna show everyone in this building what Maki's secret is!

SAKURA: So we're broadcasting live at the moment?

YURI: Yup.  *walks up to where Maki is practicing*

MAKI: *turns to Yuri*  What do you want?  You came to apologize to me?

YURI: Nope, in fact, I'm gonna prove to everybody that you're really Guy.

MAKI: Not again, Yuri.  What are you going to do this time?

YURI: You'll see.  *clears throat*  Can I have everyone's attention please!

GIRLS: *turn and walk to where Yuri, Maki, and Sakura are*

CROWD: *looks at the huge screen in the arena to see what's going on*

CHUN LI: What is it now, Yuri?

YURI: I'm going to prove to you, once and for all, that Maki REALLY IS GUY!

MAI: Oh no, not again Yuri.

MAKI: What do you plan on doing?!  *getting nervous*

YURI: Everyone, I saw what happens when water hits Maki…it changes her into Guy!

GIRLS: Gasp!

YURI: And with this video camera, I'll prove it to everyone in this building!

MAKI: WHAT?!  You can't be serious…I'm wearing my white outfit today!  Don't do it!

YURI: Shuddap!  Just watch this, everyone!  *grabs bucket of COLD water*  Take this,

GUY! 

MAKI: Yuri, NOOOO!

YURI: *throws water at Maki*

MAKI: Ahh!  *gets splashed*

GIRLS: *watching*

YURI: *watching*

SAKURA: *watching*

CROWD: *watching*

MAKI: (o_o)  *looks down and sees that her dress is see-through now(she's not wearing any under garments either)*

YURI: I…don't understand…the cold water should have done it…

CHUN LI: YURI!  HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO POOR MAKI!

MEN IN CROWD: WOO-HOO!  *falling over with nosebleeds*

MAKI: Yuri…*sniffling*

MAI: Come on, Maki…me and Blue Mary will give you comfort.  *winks at Mary*

BLUE MARY: *winks back*  Yuri, you should be ashamed of yourself!

MAI: Let's go, Maki.  *walks off with Maki and Blue Mary*

YURI: …

CHUN LI: Yuri…*scoffs and walks away*

GIRLS: You suck, Yuri!  *starts throwing towels at Yuri*

SAKURA: So what if Yuri sucks!  A lot of women do that with guys!

YURI: (o_o)

SAKURA: Oh…you guys didn't mean it in that way, did you?  Oops.

YURI: GYA!  *grabs huge anime-style mallet and smashes Sakura with it*

SAKURA: *twitching*

TAKUMA: *bursts into locker room*  DAUGHTER!!!!!

YURI: *gets dragged out by her feet again*  NOOOO!!!!

IBack in the men's locker room/I

RYO: *walks in, trying to catch his breath*  Damnit!  That Todo is one fast bastard.  *looking around*  Where can he be?

SAGAT: *walks up to Ryo*  Hey, you find Todo yet?

RYO: Yea, but he outran me.  He's somewhere in here though.

SAGAT: Why not check out the bathroom stalls…he seems to be there a lot.

RYO: Good thinking, Sagat!  *runs off*

SAGAT: At least…I think he might be there…*walks off*

IIn Robert Garcia's office again/I

KEN: Alright, alright, we've heard enough!

ANNOUNCER 4: I'm sorry but once I start talking, I can't seem to stop.  I love to hear my voice.  Lala-lala-la-la!  Listen to my voice.  So do I get the job, huh?  Huh?  Wow, I can't believe how sexy my voice is.  I—

KEN: (o_o)

ROBERT: (o_o)

KEN: Well…I guess he's "okay"…I think the crowd will be able to deal with him.

ROBERT: But what if they can't?

KEN: Then…we'll just have to find a way to shut him up when he needs to be shut up.

ROBERT: Okay.

IInside the battle arena/I

ANNOUNCER: Alright folks, our last qualifying match is about to begin!

CROWD: *cheering*

CROWD: *in unison*  Awwww!

IScene shifts back to the men's locker room/I

RYO: *runs up to the bathroom stall*  Ha ha.  I'm gonna get Todo this time.  *knocks on door*

???: *no response*

RYO: *bangs fist even harder on the door*

???: *no response*

RYO: *crouches down and peeks under the stall*  *thinking to himself*  That's the dress that Todo wears…he must have gotten a new one because this one is red…no matter, I'll make him pay for what he did to me!  *stands up*  Alright, ready or not, here I come!

???: *from inside the stall*  Huh?

RYO: HAO SHO KOHOKEN!  *throws his massive fireball, blowing away the stall and leaving rubble and smoke everywhere*  TAKE THIS!  RYUUKO RANBU!  *does his multiple-hitting super on the person in the stall*

???: GRRR!  *VERY angry*

RYO: *stands up*  Now, let's see JUST how badly I beat you, Todo!

TODO: *from behind Ryo*  What do you mean, Ryo?

RYO: *turns around*  What?!?!  Todo…if you're there…then who's—

???: *stands up, with a VERY pissed off look on his face*

RYO: *turns around slowly, and watches as the smoke clears away*  Oh no…I'm sorry Mr. Geese…I didn't mean—

GEESE: *breathing heavily and grunting*

RYO: *swallows hard*

TODO: Wahahahaha!…see you later, Ryo!  *runs away laughing hysterically*

GEESE: …I…WILL…STAINNN YOURRR HEAD WIT MYYY BUUUTTT!!

RYO: *swallows hard again*  Umm…don't you mean…I will stain MY head with YOUR butt?

GEESE: ….EXACTLY!!!  *begins laughing wickedly as he grabs Ryo by the throat*

RYO: Wait…no…I didn't mean that…no…NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

bOh my, ladies and gentlemen!  It seems that the qualifying rounds are over.  Will Yuri be able to prove to everyone that Maki is not who she says she is?  Will the new announcer be good enough for the crowd?  And what of Ryo…what will…happen to him?  *shuddering in disgust*  Stay tuned for part 7, entitled "THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS!"/b
