CHAPTER 7: THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS!
bIt's the first day of the actual Capcom vs SNK 2 tourney, and it looks like our fighters are getting ready to do battle! In our last chapter, we saw Ken and Robert choose a new announcer. We also witnessed Maki being embarrassed live, and Robert getting his ass handed to him by Dan Hibiki. And let's not forget Ryo…in fact, let's just see what happened to him. On to chapter 7!
In the men's locker room/b
TERRY: So what did the doctors say?
ANDY: Because of that stupid stab injury, I'm not able to compete for another 3 months at least.
TERRY: Damn, that's a bummer.
ANDY: I know! Well, at least you, Rock, and Joe made it in.
ROCK: (In JapaneseI can't wait 'till my first match!)
ANDY: (In JapaneseI'm sure you'll do just fine.) Hey Terry, can I ask you a question?
TERRY: Shoot.
ANDY: Umm…you can't speak Japanese right?
TERRY: Right.
ANDY: How do you communicate with Rock then?
TERRY: Simple…whenever he speaks to me, I just give him a thumbs up. Sometimes, I'll even say "OK!"
ROCK: *turns to Terry* (In JapaneseI'm going to kill you in this tournament, Terry Bogard.)
TERRY: *gives thumbs up* OK!
ANDY: (o_o) Do you have any idea what he just said?
TERRY: Nope…I'm assuming it was something nice, though.
ANDY: '-_-
RYO: *pokes his head into the locker room* Psst…Terry…
TERRY: Yea, Ryo?
RYO: Is Geese here?
TERRY: *shaking fist* GEEEEEESE?
RYO: Yea, Geese?
TERRY: No, I haven't seen *shaking fist* GEEEEEESE *stops shaking fist* all day today.
RYO: Alright, whew. *walks into the locker room*
TERRY: What happened last Friday, man? Todo told me that you were in quite a pinch.
RYO: Well, I was…you see—
INTERCOM: Terry Bogard, please report to the battle arena.
TERRY: Sorry. I gotta go man…finish your story later, ok?
RYO: Alright.
TERRY: Later. *leaves with Andy and Rock*
RYO: Hey, Sagat!
SAGAT: *exercising* Oh hey, little buddy. What's going on?
RYO: Not much. Just chillin'.
SAGAT: That's good. By the way, what happened with Geese last week?
RYO: Glad you asked…you see, I—
SAGAT: *hears his watch alarm go off* Oops. Sorry Ryo, but it's time for my vengeance management class.
RYO: How's it going for you?
SAGAT: Pretty good…I haven't killed a Ryu look-a-like in over 2 weeks.
RYO: Glad to hear it.
SAGAT: See ya. *leaves*
IScene shifts to the announcer's booth in the battle arena/I
SECURITY GUARD: Alright buddy, this is the booth where you'll be doing your commentary. If you need anything, just give me a holler, ok?
ANNOUNCER: …
SECURITY GUARD: *leaves*
ANNOUNCER: *sits down* …alright ladies and gentleman! This match up is about to begin! But before we start, let's have a word from one of our sponsors. Here comes a word from one of our sponsors. I'm waiting. C'mon, where's the commercial? I thought there was supposed to be a commercial. Oh wait, they're going to play the commercial as soon as I stop talking. Okay, I guess that means I have to stop talking now. I'm going to stop talking—*microphone gets cut off*
CROWD: *looks up at the monitor in the arena*
ICommercial begins/I
BILLY KANE: Hey guys, how's it going?
EIJI: Pretty good.
BILLY KANE: How about you, Iori?
IORI: …
EIJI: Iori?
IORI: …ROOOOARRRR! *starts mauling Billy and Eiji*
RUGAL: *steps in front of the camera while the scene continues* Have you ever had this happen to you, before? Well, you're not alone then. Lots of fighters have been ripped to shreds by maniacs like these. *steps aside and looks at the scene behind him* But that doesn't mean that there's nothing you can do about it.
BILLY KANE: *gets his arm ripped off* What do you mean, Mr. Rugal?
EIJI: Yea, what can we do? We need Iori on our team for—*head gets lobbed off*
RUGAL: Glad you asked, boys. Just bring these psychos down to Rugal's Clinic For Psychopaths! *background shifts to the inside of Rugal's clinic* Here at Rugal's Clinic For Psychopaths, we have all the necessary equipment to turn those demented freaks into decent members of society!
ORDERLY 1: Come on, you! *shocks Iori with a tazer*
ORDERLY 2: Yea! *pokes Iori with a cattle prod*
IORI: ROARRRR!!! *gets dragged into a dark room*
RUGAL: Just give us an hour with your maniac…
IORI: *screams like a girl from within the dark room*
RUGAL: …and we'll have them up to speed in no time flat.
IORI: *walks out looking distinguished* I can't thank you enough, Mr. Rugal. *leaves*
RUGAL: Our procedure, however, isn't guaranteed to keep the person sane forever, so when they flip out, just bring them back! In fact, you can become a member of this fine establishment. Members get 25% off their visits!
BISON: Before I discovered this clinic, I was a crazy, sadistic maniac bent on world domination. Now, I'm just a crazy, sadistic maniac…WHO CAN CONTROL HIMSELF…bent on world domination! Thank you Rugal for helping me.
RUGAL: ….right. Our success rate here is 95% I bet you're wondering what we do with the other 5% of our patients who can't be treated, right? Well, we simply beat them to death with a giant mallet!
AMINGO: For the last time, I'M NOT CRAZY!!!
ORDERLY 1: Oh yea? Then why do you keep saying you're a cactus?
AMINGO: THAT'S CUZ I AM A CACTUS!!
ORDERLY 2: Sure thing…now get over here so we can smash you with this mallet.
AMINGO: YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!! *runs off*
RUGAL: So come on down to Rugal's Clinic For Psychopaths. Oh, and one more thing. I'm not just the owner…*turns into Omega Rugal*…I'M ALSO A MEMBER! ROARRR!!! *begins struggling as he's dragged away by the orderlies*
IBack in the men's locker room/I
KEN: Damnit, he didn't fall for it, Ryu.
RYU: He didn't?
KEN: No…he saw right through my disguise. I thought I made a pretty good looking Maki…
RYU: There, there Ken…you do make a pretty good Maki…*smiles*
KEN: Thanks Ryu.
RYO: *walks up to Ryu and Ken* Hey guys.
KEN: Hey Ryu-bum.
RYO: How are…HEY! My name's Ryo!
KEN: Sure thing, Ryu-bum. *snickers*
RYO: At least this bum still has his package intact. *grabs his crotch*
RYU: That was below the belt, man!
RYO: I know…that was the point.
RYU: Oh…
KEN: Anyways, what brings you here RYO?
RYO: Well, everyone's busy and I need to tell my story to someone.
RYU: You mean about you and Geese?
RYO: Yea.
KEN: Gee, no one really knows what happened, right?
RYO: Right. Well, you see, Geese had me by the neck, right? And he—
KEN: *stands up* Sorry, gotta go.
RYO: Why?
KEN: I have business to attend to. If you'll excuse me…*leaves*
RYO: Okay, I'll tell you then, Ryu. You see, he—
RYU: *stands up* Sorry, I gotta go too.
RYO: You got business too?!
RYU: Well, no…it's just that I gotta…you know…keep this gag running.
RYO: Oh…
RYU: See ya…*leaves*
RYO: DAMNIT! Will anyone listen to my story?!

TERRY: Yea, I guess that was good. Thanks for the help, Andy…I appreciate it.
ANDY: Not a problem.
TERRY: How do we get back to the arena, though?
ANDY: I think we gotta take the bus to the bus station.
TERRY: Alright, I see another one coming right now.
ANDY: Hey Terry…I just thought of something…
TERRY: What?
ANDY: Wasn't the announcer supposed to say "KO" or something like that?
TERRY: I think so…bah, who cares. *looks at the approaching bus* Hey, how come this bus looks familiar?
ANDY: Oh no…
TERRY: What?
ANDY: Sorry, we gotta step out of this Terry. *starts walking away*
