Spider-Man/King of Fighters CH.Three.
The next morning,the Big Apple was abuzz with excitement now that the King of Fighters tournament had officially begun.
Crowds of people on the left and right were filled in the streets of Madison Square Garden as well as posters and flyers that read the words:KING OF FIGHTERS IN NYC! KING OF FIGHTERS RULES! And such.
Street Vendors sold refreshments,betting booths on who would win the competition as well as KOF related merchandise like t- shirts,dolls,novelties and such.
Peter,MJ,and Harry were amongst the onlookers seeing what all the excitement and fuss was going to be about. Flash and Kong were off in another part of the crowd and hooting wildly for some of the greats to show up.
"This place sure is packed."said Peter looking about. "When do ya think the fights will start?" "The brochure says,as soon as they arrive and the rules are set."said Harry. "It's gonna be a big-time media event match when it starts."
"I hope it starts soon."said MJ. "I don't wanna be here all day in this mess."
Suddenly,a series of black limosuines began to pull up and around the crowds of people. The doors opened on them all and out stepped the invited warriors and fighters to participate in the contest.
Team one:K and Maxima. Team two:Terry and Joe Team three:Ryo and Robert Team four:Kim and Jhun Team five:Athena and Kensou Team six:Ralf and Clark Team seven:Heavy D and Brian Battler. Team eight:Shingo and Saisyu Team nine:King and Kasumi Team Ten:Duck King and Bob Wilson
"That's strange."thought K. "Neither Kusanagi or Yagami are here. Well,I suppose we could all use a break from those two." They were the eight teams all gathered together to compete in the tournament today. The last limo pulled up and a large heavyset man stepped out and greeted the teams. It was Wilson Fisk,the host of the event.
"Welcome one and all to the King of Fighters tag-team match my friends."he said. "We hope you enjoy this gala-event match that we have planned and that one of you makes it to the gold. The rules are simple,each of you shall travel throughout the sections of New York and both met and defeat you opponent,but only one team shall make it to the hidden location and win.
Other rules included are that you may fight in the manner of a tag-team match similar to tag-team wrestling. If the first fighter of your team starts to tire,then switch sides and fight the opponent in his or her place,until someone wins the match. This way also to the map if you please."
Fisk led the teams to a specila propped up map of the city streets. There was 1stand 2nd avenue as well as the rest of the avenues and streets of the entire city area. "The designated location where the finals will take place is in a secluded area,and to reach it you must get to a certain subway system,take the subway train and it will take you there.
Video cameras are also set up all over the place and police units are all in place in case anything serious happens like street vermin trying to disrupt a match or something. If either opponent is unconscious or surrenders then the match is won by the victor.
But-killing your opponent is strictly forbidden,and you will be disqualified. Weapons may be used,but only in self-defense. So,fight hard in the elimination round and give everyone a good show..and best of luck,you'll need it."
Fisk then went up to a built-in podium and adressed one of his men who were one of the officials of the contest to signal the start of the match.
"FIGHTERS-TAKE YOUR POSITIONS!"he said into a microphone. All nine teams lined up across a yellow line that lead into the alleyways of certain buildings. It was like a race-car or marathon match was about to start.
"LET THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN----AND GO!"he said.
The entire group of warriors took off running off into separate locations. "C'MON TERRY!"said Flash. "WIN THIS ONE LIKE YA DID BACK IN SOUTHTOWN!" "YA GO K!"shouted Kong. "KICK SOME MAJOR ASS!"
The entire group of teams ran off into the alleys of the city,and the camera monitors crackled to life in the center of Madison Square. "All right---now we're gonna see some real action!"said someone in the crowds. A screen shown Terry and Joe running into both Heavy D and Brian Battler.
The screen shown the title:MATCH 01:BEGIN! "Man,this is it!"said Harry. "Terry Bogard's a legend from Southtown-he was one of the first to ever win in the KOF." "Let's just see how good he really is."said Peter.
"Long time,no see Heavy D."said Terry. "Yeah,it's been a while."said D. "Someone had the sense to invite most of us back to the KOF,too bad it ain't three team like it was. But enough chatter,let's get it on!"
"I'll take it up first Joe,you be the back-up."said Terry. "Okay with me."said Joe. "Just save the best for me." "Will do."said Terry. "If there's any best to save."
"I'll go up first Brian,be ready if I tag ya."said D. "Go get 'em D!"said Brian. "Win us to victory!"
The two fighters got into their stances and the match began.
Terry started with a Burn Knuckle and flew straight at the boxer. D saw the move coming and dodged it. Once Terry was close enough to him,D went straight for his back with a dash punch and then knocked him in the head with an upper.
Terry fell to the ground,but rolled away from his attacker. "Hey-getting a little dirty about your moves there aren't you D?"said Terry.
"I learned a lot from the first KOF me and the boys went to Bogard."said D. "Use any means at your disposal to win,besides they're ain't much rules to go by. But I ain't gonna kill ya in cold blood or cripple ya-so be on your toes no matter what,okay?"
"You bet I will!"said Terry before he sprang into a new attack. "CRACK SHOT!"said Terry as he sprung into his axe drop kick attack. D barely saw it coming and managed to block it off at the last minute. But the force of the kick was so great,he fell up against a wall.
Terry then moved in by decking him in the stomach and then throwing him over his shoulder. D landed in the dirt but scrambled to his feet again.
The crowds cheered wildly at the fight scene that was taking place. "Man,this is exciting!"said Peter. "It sure is."said Harry. "Go Terry!"
Terry thrust at D again,but before he could inflict more damage,D launched one of his special fist attacks. "BLAST UPPER!"said D as he rammed his fist up at Terry's chin and an explosion of Chi energy came from it,causing him to fall backwards to the ground.
"Yeah,whatta battle!"shouted another of the patrons. "Aw c'mon,beat those sorry has-beens to a bloody mess Bogard!"said Flash. "Yeah,fight your way to that K dude!"said Kong.
Terry sprang back to his feet,ready to fight again. D was about to launch another attack,but before he could,Terry charged up his right fist for an even bigger attack.
"POWER-GEYSER!"he shouted and slammed his fist to the ground. A giant energy wave exploded from the ground and hit the boxer head-on. The blast sent D flying up against a pile of trash cans,he was down but not out.yet.
"C'mon man,tag me!"said Brian. "You need to reserve your strength." D reached out and slapped Brian's hand,signalling it was his turn to fight. "Yeah,I won't let ya down D."he said. "Here I come!"
"Looks like the fight ain't over yet,Terry."said Joe. "Sure looks it."said Terry. "You wanna take over for the time being?" "I'd thought you'd never ask me."said Joe. "Just lead the way."
Terry touched Joe's palm and the jap kick-boxer entered the battle. "You wanna piece o'me?"said Brian. "I says,do you wanna piece of me?" "Aw,quit yappin'and start fighting ya big lug."said Joe. "We ain't got all day."
"You betcha-YAAAAH!"said Brian as he charged at Joe. Joe then jumped right over the football player and then threw a hurricane upper at him. Brian saw it just in time and managed to block it in time.
Joe then thrust at Brian,doing his slash kick. But before he could,Brian went into his Screw Body Press and slammed Joe right in the chest,nearly knocking him down.
Brian then grabbed Joe and threw him into a German back suplex! "UNNGHH!"went Joe as he crashed to the ground,his body wracked with pain in a dozen places. "C'mon Joe-up and at'em!"said Terry cheering him on. "Don't let him beat ya!"
Joe flipped backwards and was on his feet again. "That the best ya can do tubby?"said Joe. "Well,it ain't enough!" Joe then turned around and did his infamous mooning taunt at Brian.
Battler growled fiercly at the Thai kicker. "Brian,don't loose it-he's trying to exhaust your spirit."said D. "That's what taunting's all about."
Brian then launched into his Hyper Tackle attack and charged straight at Joe once again. "Gotcha now!"said Joe.
The Kickboxer then slammed his Rising Tiger Knee into Brian's chin and sent him flying across the littered ground.
"YEAH-ALLRIGHT JOE!"shouted Terry in triumph. Brian lay near unconscious on the ground. "C'mon Brian."said D. "Touch my hand."
Brian weakly reached out and touched D's hand before conking out. "Okay boys---this match ain't over-not by a longshot!"said D as he charged at the FF team once again.
Joe and D traded blows against one another. Joe did a few lightning punches,but D blocked them off and then did a D magnum shot right into his shoulder.
Joe winced from the sting and then counterrattacked with his Hurricane Upper,but D then used his Soul Flower deflect and sent the Hurricane back at Joe,nearly knocking him backwards.
Joe was then about to do another attack,but D moved in and slammed him with a Blast upper!
The Muay Thai fell to the ground beside Terry,his energy spent. "Need a hand Joe?"said Terry as he reached out. "Ughhh..I wanted to finish this for both of us."he said. "But I guess I gotta take what I can get."
Joe then touched Terry's palm. "Take'em down."he said.
D was about to go for Terry next,but Terry had the perfect move to finish this. "ARE YOU OK..BUSTER WOLF!"
The lone wolf sprang at D and launched his fiery energyt attack.
D was assaulted by a blast of white hot energy that sent him tumbling down and alongside Brian Battler.
The match was over-and the Fatal Fury Tag team won.
"MATCH ONE IS CONCLUDED!"said the official. "FF TEAM WINS!" Everyone cheered to Joe and Terry for winning the first match.
The camera monitering the event also had a built-in speaker. "Fatal Fury Team.proceed to match two where your next opponets lay." Said a voice on it. "You got it man."said Joe. "C'mon Terry."
Before leaving,the pair turned to the Sports team who had gotten back up. "You guys fought better than you did back in ninety-four D."said Terry. "But you may need more training than you thought."(Or this case.popularity.- Comment from CNASH1.)
"I guess we do."said D. "Well,see to it that someone from Southtown wins this contest instead of some joker with flames okay?" "Yeah,and just you wait,we may meet in the next KOF."said Brian.
"We look forward to it."said Joe. "Let's go!"
Both men ran down another alleyway where the rest of the fighters were. Both D and Brian went back to their hotel to rest.
"Man,they are better than I thought."said Peter. "You said it."said MJ. "Terry and that weirdo in the shorts may just win this one." "They still have to contend with K."said Harry. "He after all,is the reigining champion of KOF 99-01."
"K."thought Peter. "..I wonder when we'll see him and that burly partner of his in this soon?"
Suddenly,as if in answer,the screen shown both K and Maxima on it. "Hey---it's him-it's K!"said Kong. Everyone began shouting.."K-K-K-K-K!"
"Sounds like you've got quite a following there K."said Maxima overhearing the roar of the crowds on his cybernetic hearing. "I didn't really ask them to follow me on anything."said K. "But---I guess if fame isn't so harmful-then I guess I can live with it."
Suddenly,the next pair of fighters entered the scene across from them. It was both Ralf and Clark from the Ikari Warriors. "Not you guys again!"said K. "We were just about to say the same thing to ya both,K."said Ralf. "Looks like it's gonna be like KOF'99 all over again."said Clark. "Let's do it!"
On the screen it said the words:"MATCH THREE:HEROES TEAM VS IKARI TEAM- BEGIN!"
Next in ch.four:THE BATTLE AND ACTION OF THE KOF CONTEST CONTINUES AS SPIDER-MAN SUDDENLY FINDS HIMSELF HAVING TO SAVE BOTH K AND MAXIMA FROM IMPENDING DOOM! AND THE PLOT CONTINUES TO THICKEN AROUND THE KINGPIN'S MYSTERIOUS BENEFACTOR.
