The story is of my own creation,but all characters belong to Capcom both USA and Japan.
And now,on with the show!
A BIG NOISE PRODUCTIONS PRESENT:
"BUSHIN JUSTICE! A STREET FIGHTER SHORT STORY STARRING GUY!"
SATURDAY MORNING 9 AM.
METRO CITY USA,OR IN THIS CASE THE OUTSKIRTS OF METRO CITY.
SPECIFICALLY,IN A DEEP AND PLENTIFUL FOREST!
Former Mad Gear member and now terrorist wannabe El Gado ran as fast as his wiry legs could take him.
His heavy breathing and sweat was not going to slow him down for he knew he had an all too familair enemy pursuing him.
That enemy was none other than the Bushin Ninja known as...GUY!
Guy himself was racing after the lone criminal on his very feet,he moved at a superhuman speed like no one else could match.
However,Guy was keeping a safe distance from El Gado,for he knew that there was more to this than met the eye.
Just hours earlier,a would be terrorist attack was about to be held at the city hall of Metro City.
Cody Travers had just been sworn in as the new mayor of Metro City.
A large one man tank appeared before the city hall building and started to open fire.
Everyone scattered and evacuated the building just in time for the Metro City Police lead by Sargent Lucia Morgan to take on the tank.
They along with the local Swat Team managed to disable the tank,but to everyone's suprise they find that the tank was being manned by remote control.
And inside the tank Lucia finds a recordered message by none other than Rolento himself.
Rolento reveals that the tank was a ruse and he demands that they hand over one of Metro City's finest heroes over to him and his gang.
Namely..Guy!
If they didn't they will utilize some explosives on the nearby dam and cause a major flood disaster of epic proportions.
Lucia then explained the situation to Mayor Travers.
Cody bit his lower lip,he was reluctant to send his best friend and fellow street fighter warrior to certain doom,but what choice did he have in the long run?
Cody then called up Guy and explained the situation to him.
Within minutes,the Bushin appeared at City Hall.
Lucia then explained further on who and where to meet one of Rolento's men...namely El Gado.
Guy as always,appeared grim.(Makes you wonder if he ever smiles?lol.)
He knew it was a dangerous bargain and situation to take. But he knew that a Bushin never shirks his duty when the shadow of evil appears anywhere.
"I will go."said Guy. "Good call,I think."said Cody. "But before you do."said Lucia approaching him. "Take this with you."
The policwoman gave Guy a pocket size device with a red circle on it.
"It's our newest homing device."she said. "We can use it to keep track of you..in case anything happens."
Guy nodded and place the tracker under his sash belt.
Minutes later,Guy stood atop the Metro bridge,awaiting the signal as to who was going to meet him.
Suddenly,he sensed something was coming right at him from behind.
The Ninja swung around and caught the object with his left hand.
He looked down and saw that it was a foot long blade.
"I should've known...EL GADO!"he said as he threw the blade down to the ground.
A loud cackling laugh was heard across from the top of the bridge where he stood.
Standing across from him was a lean and muscular man wearing a light green set of army duds,and boots.
He wore a set of throwing and dagger blades on his belt and a bandolier across his chest filled with them.
He was of Mexican American decent,but Guy and his friends remember him well from the Mad Gear gang.
"Heh-heh...ola,Guy!"he said. "Long time no see once again!"
Guy was about to leap over to where the villian stood.
"Save your pleasantries!"he shouted. "Where is your boss...where is ROLENTO?"
"Heh...follow me and find out,if you dare that is!"said Gado.
The thug then jumped off the top support base of the bridge and landed on his trust motrorcycle and took off down a nearby street.
Guy leapt downwards to the streets below and took off after him in his Super Dash.
Several minutes later,the pair made it to the outskirts of Metro and found a nearby forest.
Gado then ditched his motorcycle and took off into the forest on foot.
There,Guy found the motorbike and took off again after him.
Bringing us back to where our story began,Guy at last saw El Gado and was closing in on him.
Guy's patience with the thug was at an end as he ran straight forward and shoulder rammed Gado,knocking him to the very ground.
Gado then fell out into an open space deep in the forest and then swung back around with one of his knives.
Guy kicked away and then slammed a backhand into Gado's face,knocking him down to the ground once again.
"Errrghh...heh...just like old times eh?"said Gado as he rubbed at his face from the pain. "Getting your ass beat by some hot shot street fighter."
Guy then grabbed Gado by the lapels of his tunic and lifted him upward.
"Now...Gado!"he said. "Tell me what it is your boss is planning...and more importantly,where is he?"
Gado snickered in a low tone.
"Look no further,ninja man."he said. "You've found him! Or rather he found you amigo!"
"What?"said Guy.
Suddenly,a series of bright lights shown upon the two men.
And appearing from the lights were a series of armed gunmen,dressed in army duds like El Gado.
Guy then tossed Gado aside and was ready to assess the situation.
"What is this..a trap?"said Guy.
"Sharp as ever."said an all too familair voice.
Guy looked up and saw someone falling down from the trees and land on his feet the same way Guy did.
It was Rolento Shugerg himself,ex Mad Gear member turned world terrorist!
"Guy."said Rolento in an icy calm.
"Rolento."spat Guy.
"Heh-heh...so...how's the gang,I hear that Cody's taken up office."said Rolento. "Geez...I wonder how the old man and his daughter will take that?"
"Leave my friends out of this one."said Guy. "You want me? I am here,but not yours!"
Rolento snickered wickedly. "Ha,you think you got me all figured out here?
Well,this time I got you dead to rights,i've studied your moves and what you've been up to.
And I figure with this new trap plan I set in motion...once I take you out the rest of the so called Metro heroes will be easy pickings!"
"And what makes you think that?"said Guy.
"Well let's face it."said Rolento. "Cody's basically retired from street fighting,Haggar's left town no doubt for the better.
Cody's brother Kyle's off in the MMA circuit right now.
Those losers Carlos and Dean have just up and vanished. Same goes for your ex-sidekick Maki. Lucia? Ha,like i'm scared of her little tin cops!"
You're pretty much all that stands between me and Metro!"
Guy sneered in digust.
"You're a damn fool for thinking you have the upper hand this time! In my recent journeys i've taken on foes twice your skill!
You have no idea how truly deadly a Bushin can be!"
"Huh."said Rolento. "Well,me and my boys have still got the hardware,Bushin man!
"Now,without further more due...boys...take that bastard down-NOW!"
The entire group of Rolento's men moved in for the kill.
Some threw knives and grenades at Guy,while others opened fire with their machine guns and magnums.
An entire cloud of smoke erupted around where Guy stood.
Suddenly,without warning..the ninja leapt high into the air and landed on the stronger limb of a thick nearby tree.
"He's up there!" said Holly Wood,one of Rolento's men.
"TAKE HIM DOWN!"said Gado.
Guy then leapt downwards and then focused his energy on the various search lights that were shining through the darkness of the trees.
One by one,he smashed them all,leaving the gang in complete darkness for the time being.
"WTF?"said Gado. "That bastards onto us!"
"Not for long!"said Rolento. "Quick get your flashlights before he-"
But it was too little too late,as one gunmen felt something sharp stab him in the shoulder.
"GAKK!"he cried and fell to the ground.
Gado shown his lights into the trees and saw a shower of daggers and shurikens came flying down upon them.
"SHIT!"cried Gado. "LOOK OUT!"
One by one,the entire team of thugs were hit and stabbed by Guy's ninja blades attack.
Most of them went down,some who were still standing were then taken head on as Guy leapt into action.
He did his turn elbow strike attack on one,did a back flip kick on another.
And then he unleashed his Bushin Gourai Kyaku and finished off the last of them.
All of Rolento's men laid down for the count.
Leaving only Rolento to face Guy.
"Now,commando!"said Guy. "It's just you and me!"
Rolento smiled wickedly. "Oh,it's not over yet...not yet by a long shot!"
Rolento then back flipped away from Guy and unleashed several hand grenades at Guy's feet.
Guy leapt away as various explosions of smoke and fire erupted from them.
When it cleared,Guy found that the red beret had vanished momentarily.
"Where are you?"said Guy. "Show yourself,enough of these games!"
Suddenly,another search light appeared out from the trees and then several trees exploded and a giant metal form strode forward.
A giant 12 foot tall robotic vessel stood before Guy and there he saw within it's chest visor was Rolento himself.
Guy also noticed an all too familair symbol across the chest window.
It was the symbol of Shadowloo,the evil terrorist organization.
"What monstrosity is this,Rolento?"'said Guy.
"Oh,this?"said Rolento. "I found this little hummer in of Bison's abandoned techno labs.
Me and my boys dusted it off,rewired it and now it's my fail safe in taking you out!"
"You are a fool for hiding behind a robot!"said Guy.
"Save if for someone who cares,ninja!"said Rolento as he sprinted forward in the robot suit.
"As i said...FOOL!"said Guy as he leapt high into the air and front flipped over the robot.
The robot then swung around and saw Guy coming right at him.
Guy then attempted to do a flying kick,but the robot shielded it off with it's right arm.
The attack left Rolento an opening as he used the robot to land a fast and hard left punch into Guy's face.
The impact caused Guy to go flying backwards and into a nearby tree.
The robot then rushed in and went for the kill.
Guy then leapt out of harm's way just as the robot smashed through the bottom of the tree.
The Bushin kept back on the defense and then rushed back towards the robot.
He attempted to do his three spin kick attack,but to his avail,the attack just bounced off the robot's thick armor.
"Nice try!"said Rolento. "Now it's my turn!"
The robot attempted to lunge at Guy,but he ducked and then slammed a punch at the chest visor where Rolento was at.
No go,the cockpit was just as hard to pierce as the armor was.
Rolento then rushed in again and slammed a rising knee into Guy's chest and then brought down a massive fist upon his head.
The Bushin was this time down the count.
Rolento laughed wickedly and then used the robot to lift Guy by the throat.
"You have no idea how long i've waited for this,Guy!"he said.
The robot started to apply pressure to Guy's throat and the ninja could feel his air supply giving out.
It looked as if all was lost when suddenly,a single object came flying out of nowehere and struck right into the very head of the robot.
The impact was so great,that it knocked the war-bot's head clean off.
"WHAT THE HELL?"cried Rolento.
Sparks inside and outside started to erupt in the war-bot's being,causing Guy to be let loose.
The ninja landed on his knees and caught his breath.
"Hmmm.."he replied. "...now what happened there? Well,i'll figure it out later,I need to stop that mechanical monster and now!"
While Rolento struggled with the now damaged war-bot,Guy ran past him and went for Rolento's nearby arsenal.
There,Guy found various heavy duty grenades and explosives.
He then took some and dropped them down upon the ground where the war-robot was barely standing.
Guy then found a detonator to the explosives.
"Make a wish,Rolento!"he said and then pressed the button.
A large explosion erupted where the war-bot stood and the impact caused Rolento and the bot to go flying into some nearby trees.
Rolento himself fell right out of the war-bot and crashed to the ground.
"ARRRRGH!"he cried in pain. "What the hell just happened there?"
"Search me."said Guy. "But the main thing is this...you're finished! Now-surrender at once!"
"N-NEVER!"cried Rolento.
The mad commado then leapt backwards and attempted a flying baton attack,Guy leapt away and kept on his feet.
Rolento then leapt into the air again anhd threw a trio of throwing knives at his enemy.
Guy in turn,threw a single ninja dagger and knocked all three knives away.
Rolento then sprinted forward and attempted his baton attack,but Guy caught the madman's baton pulled it away and broke it in two.
The commano started to panic,his fangs were being pulled.
He then started to go for some grenades,but before he could he saw Guy come flying down on him with a fierce elbow drop to the head.
One loud crack and it was over,Rolento was down and out.
It was at last over.
Guy then looked over to see what it was that saved him.
It was a thick orange and brown baton.
He picked it up.
"Hmmmm...this looks familair."he thought.
Suddenly,he heard someone clearing their throat.
He looked up and saw that it was Maki herself.
She was standing atop of a high branch on one of the trees.
"Maki!"he said. "You...you were the one who..?"
"Yeah,that was me."she said. "But save your thanks,Guy. I just thought even you didn't deserve to be killed by the likes of a loser thug like Rolento.
And oh yeah,my baton if you please?"
Guy nodded and threw the baton straight back up to her,the ninja woman caught it with ease.
"I see you did well."she said. "Rolento was wrong to underestimate you as well as the rest of us."
"You mean you were there the whole time?"said Guy. "Why didn't you..?"
"I have my reasons."said Maki. "And I told you,Rolento's a loser,even I wouldn't waste time on him.
But you,I know you have a duty to fullfill in defending the city. Consider this a one time intervention.
Next time we meet though...we'll see who shall be the Bushin."
Guy sighed. "Whether you realize it or not,Maki. You have much to learn,just don't be a fool like Rolento was!"
"I'll keep that in mind."said Maki. "Till then,tell Cody and the gang I said hi,okay?"
Maki then leapt away,and was gone.
Guy shook his head in disgust. "Sometimes I wonder what her sister Rena would say about her attitude these days?
Minutes later,Guy made his way back out of the forest and found various police cars and a single black limo.
Cody and Lucia were there to greet him.
"So...did it all work out in the end?"said Cody.
"It did."said Guy. "Sargent Morgan,Rolento and his men are in that clearing in the forest,they are all yours."
"Good to hear."said Lucia. "Alright men,let's mop up the place!"
Guy and Cody stood near the limo and Guy gave Cody an earful of what happened.
"What?"said Cody. "You mean Maki was there,and she only just saved you? I don't believe it!"
"Somehow,neither do I."said Guy. "If I only knew where Master Zeku truly was,perhaps she'd listen to him."
"Ah,who knows?"said Cody. "Anyways,it's not suprising that it was Rolento. I mean,Belger may be long dead,but it still looks like the shadow of the old Mad Gear is still trying to get us. And who knows if we've heard the last of Shadowloo either."
"Yes."said Guy. "I might have to contact Chun-Li Xiang or Captain Guile about that one.
Oh,and by the way...congratulations on your new job,Mister Mayor."
"Yeah,ho ho...run it in,Guy."said Cody. "But i'm telling ya,i'm no desk jockey,i'll be a hands on mayor no matter what!"
I just hope my PA and the rest of the guys in charge will let me on this one!"
"We'll see."said Guy. "Just do the best you can in life,as we all do."
"Heh,will do."said Cody. "By the way,how about I give you a lift...and a drink if you like?"
"You have any perrier?"said Guy.
"Got it in the backseat."said Cody. "Good."said Guy. "After all that,I could use a rest."
"You've earned it,let's go!"said Cody.
Minutes later,the police squad and the limo made their way back to Metro City.
All for a well deserved rest..for now that is.
BUSIN JUSTICE:THE END..FOR NOW!
I hope you all enjoyed reading this as I did writing it. I'll have some more SF and other fighting game short stories ahead eventually. Once I iron out some good ideas and stories.
Thank you and goodnight!
