[Rival] complex....
Rock opened his eyes and was standing in southtown. He knew this neighborhood, it was the one him and terry were living in, but something was amiss. All the people were dressed differently, sort of like those old 80's movies rock used to watch. Rock was watching a man dressed in a kung-fu outfit with short brown hair and a mustach walking up to a bunch of kids. The kids looked like a bunch of homeless people, rock ran over to find out what was going on. The man was handing out coins to the children, these kids were homeless! Two kids in particular caught Rock's attention, they had shoulder long blonde hair and were sitting in a corner of the dead-end alley. They were sitting playing with some trash when the man walked up to them. 'Go away', said the younger one. He couldn't have been any older then rock, but seemed so strong despite his position in life. The older one just sat there staring at the man. 'I SAID GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!' said the young one pulling out a butterfly knife. He charged the man and attempted to stab him in the stomach, the man stepped to the side with his right leg leaving his left foot out for the child to trip on. And trip on it he did, the knife went flying and the boy hit the ground hard. The other one just sat there, he didn't even look at the guy in the kung-fu outfit. 'Hello', said the man. The older brother looked up at the man, this boy's red jacket was covered in dirt, its long sleves were streched out and you couldn't even see his hands. 'uhhh...ummmm....hi' studdered the older brother. The younger brother was getting up at this time, 'please don't hurt us' he begged.
'Hurt you? Actully i was wondering if you'd like to come with me, i have some food at my house and clothes for you to change into.' The two boys followed him. They didn't trust this man, rock could feel it, but they had nothing left in their lives. If he had raped and killed them they wouldn't have cared at the time. When you are on the bottom and have no further to go, a slow painful death is just as good as a nice warm meal.
A flash of light, and rock was in the back yard of a house in the midst of southtown. Rock didn't know this area at all, but something was telling him that he was still in southtown. The older brother was playing catch with the guy in the kung-fu outfit, apparently this man wore the same outfit all the time, kinda like Terry. 'Alright, its time' said the man looking at the sun. 'Ok Jeff' said the boy. The younger brother came running up, 'time for what?'
'Time for Jeff to fight stupid...' teased the older brother.
'Dad don't fight!' yelled the younger of the two brothers, 'you'll get hurt!'
'I know I might, but this is the only way to make money in this part of town' replied the man 'i'm sorry but i must.'
'Shut up stupid', the older brother was pointing at his younger brother 'its cool to watch Jeff fight.'
'No its not, fighting is bad!'
'You're bad, lets go Jeff' commanded the older brother.
'Are you sure you don't want to come?' asked the man.
'No, i'll stay here...there's some cleaning to do anyway.'
'Ok i promise we'll help when we get back, you got that?' the man looked at the older brother.
'Awwww...do i gotta?' And with a laugh the both of them began to walk to the battle ground. Another flash of light, rock began to think these were getting annoying. The older brother was watching the man win yet another match, one thing rock noticed was that the man was wearing biker gloves, exactly like terry's biker gloves. Rock then slapped himself for not relaizing this earlier, that boy...no more then 3 years older then rock was now...WAS TERRY! Rock ran over to him and wanted to grab him by the shoulders and tell him to snap out of it and wake up. But rock's hands went right though Terry as if he were a ghost, rock couldn't believe it. The man who had just lost the match didn't look very happy, rock could tell he was going to do something stupid. As the man turned around to walk back to his bench, the guy who just lost pulled a gun out of his pants. Terry ran toward him and tackled the guy's arm and screamed 'Jeff...look out!!!' Jeff jumped to the left into the crowd of people watching the fight, as a bullet went off into the air. Terry was on top of the man pummeling his face, despite his age Terry was definitely beating the crap out of this guy. Jeff had to eventually pull Terry off of him, 'you got quite a little temper there, don't ya terry?'
'Heh...guess i do' answered terry.
'Well more then a little temper, more like a fatal fury.'
'Hehe, well i had to. I couldn't let you get hurt jeff.'
'Thanks'
The next flash sent rock back to the yard where terry and jeff were playing catch. It seemed to be a few years later because Terry was bigger and the sleeves were cuffed up to his elbows. Terry now had a hat, it was red to match his outfit, and there was a small white piece of cloth sewn onto the front of it. The cloth had Fatal Fury writtin on it, and Terry wore it with pride. Jeff and Terry seemed to be praticing techniques, 'ok come at me again' beckoned jeff. Terry came running at him, fist cocked. Terry punched as hard as he could, but hit air as Jeff jumped strait up, Terry followed suit but couldn't jump as far as Jeff could. Jeff came down foot toward Terry, Terry landed first and ran back a few steps. When he turned around to face his opponent Jeff was standing there with a smile on his face and a energy ball in the ground racing towards terry. Terry rolled to the side and tried the technique himself. Nothing happened, Terry put his head down in shame. 'Don't worry, you will eventually get it...it took me 3 years to learn how to do this', Jeff said with a smile. Terry wasn't done yet he yelled HAKI NO FAI and tried to do a handspring toward Jeff. Terry managed to land on his back and stiffen from the pain. Jeff laughed and told Terry they should call it a day, Master Tung Fu Ru would be coming over for dinner. Rock remember terry talking about tung fu ru, he was Terry's dad's teacher.
Flash again, rock wanted to kill whoever came up with the rule there needed to be flashes inside of Terry's head. Rock was sent to another battle ring, 'NEXT UP IS JEFF BOGARD VS. MR. KARATE!' yelled the announcer. Rock sat down on one of the benches, inside of a person since he could. Rock looked up at the ceiling and saw a sniper, the sniper shot and the bullet hit Jeff in his back and came out of his chest. The bullet was small and didn't leave much of a hole, the bleeding wasn't that bad either. Terry was the only one who saw it, and ran toward jeff. Jeff waved him away, showing that he could still win this fight even though he was injured. Terry stood ringside with the white towl ready to throw it in at the first sign of trouble.
'Haha, i will prove tonight that my Kyokugen Karate is far superior to your Hakkyokuseiken style kung-fu!' yelled the very large built man in a karate gi and in a red devil mask.
'Geese has you as his little handy play thing eh? I'll make sure his plans are ruined this time around' retorted Jeff.
'BASTARD, you'll pay for this!' yelled Mr. Karate as he charged. He ran in and threw a punch to Jeff's face. Jeff ducked and sprung up with his HAKI NO FAI and smashed Mr. Karate's mask. The mask fell apart and everybody could see his face, the man had brown hair and very chiziled features almost like a statue. But the statue face was broken while blood was running down his face from his nose. He pulled his hand back and pushed his palm forward yelling KO OU KEN. A blue energy ball flew at Jeff, Jeff started to move but held his stomach in a wince of pain. The energy ball slammed into Jeff throwing him back into the ropes and onto the ground. Mr. Karate took this chance and jumped onto the top rope and flung himself at Jeff. Jeff got body slammed from the top rope like the wrestling you saw on television, except this move made Jeff spit out more blood. Mr. Karate stood up and made a few poses to the crowd facing the opposite direction of Jeff. Jeff stood up and slipped his right arm around Mr. Karate's neck, and with his left elbowed his opponent in the head and onto the ground. Jeff jumped over him and fell to his knees in pain, but got back up in enough time to throw a SEMPUKEN a ball of energy exactly like a power wave hit Mr. Karate with enough force to make him roll underneath the ropes and out of the ring. 'Heh, even with your wound your still pretty good, i'll give you that...maybe even better then me' panted Mr. Karate.
'I have justice on my side' panted jeff.
'Then let us see how far justice can take you!' yelled Mr. Karate who jumped back into the ring and began to attack Jeff furiously. The first punch connected with Jeff's elbow, Mr. Karate punched again and Jeff jumped backwards and charged immediately with a kick directed at Mr. Karate's chest. Mr. Karate pushed Jeff's leg down between his legs and Jeff slid underneath him. Jeff punched at Mr. Karate's kidneys but Mr. Karate was too fast. He spun around with his arm lose and pushed Jeff's arm across Jeff's front, followed by a kick to the head. Jeff staggered but recaught his balance quickly. Mr. Karate kicked at Jeff's thigh connecting and with the same leg not letting it hit the ground kicked Jeff in the face again. Jeff was beginning to take a beating, and was getting weaker with each hit.
'Jeff!!' screamed terry, who threw in the white towel. Mr. Karate saw it, looked at it for a second. With a look of soul rending sadness kicked it outside of the ring, and looked at Jeff with the same eyes. Jeff knew what was going to happen to him, there was nothing he could do about it. Jeff began the attack and punched at Mr. Karate's face with his right hand and toward his ribs with his left hand. Mr. karate didn't see Jeff's left hand and only blocked the right, the left one connected and made a loud thud. Jeff wasted no time kicking Mr. Karate in the ribs and then punching him in the face. Mr. Karate wasn't expecting this to be happening, Jeff was actually winning! Terry was so happy! Rock couldn't take his eyes off of jeff, jeff was glowing with some aura. The only way rock could describe it was an aura of justice, an aura of everything that was right in the world, Jeff would win, he had to! Jeff jumped backwards and dashed foward with his own move that he created BURN KNCKLE. The blue arua on his hand flew like an arrow of justice toward Mr. Karate's face and connected with a thunderclap. Jeff began to cough up blood and had to kneel down, Mr. Karate laid down for the 10 count. 'You have won Jeff Bogard, this day will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life, today is the day I will die with you' Mr. Karate walked up to Jeff who was still kneeling coughing up blood. Mr. Karate spent the next five minuets beating Jeff Bogard to near death.
A man with slicked back blond hair, evil eyes, and a business suit came walking up to the ring. He walked into the middle of the blood stained ring and seemed more at home then anywhere else. Rock knew this man, this man was Geese Howard.....his father. Something inside of rock made him feel sick to his stomach, he wanted to drain all the blood out of his body so he would have nothing to do with this man. No, he wasn't a man he was a......a devil! Rock wanted to look away and not even gaze upon this horrible being, but he was as transfixed as the young terry was. Rock saw Terry standing at ringside frozen like a pole. Geese nodded at Mr. Karate and Mr. Karate threw Jeff bogard's bruised, bleeding, and broken body over Geese's head. Geese perfored him RAGEING STORM and when it was all over Jeff bogard's dead body landed on the ring. Terry ran to Jeff and hugged his bloody body, Jeff was unmoving. Terry ran at geese and attacked him like a wild animal, but geese kept countering every move terry attacked with. When Terry was beaten to near submission he landed next to Jeff, Terry rolled toward Jeff and hugged him again. Rock could almost feel what terry was feeling, know what he was thinking, know what he was doing. Terry felt the gloves on Jeff's hands and made an oath:
"Geese howard will be defeated, but not by me, not by anybody but Jeff. I will wear these gloves and exact revenge for Jeff Bogard.....my father. When Geese feels the last blows they will be from father, because all Geese will feel are these gloves. And he will know that it wasn't me who beat him, it was father."
Terry took the gloves and ran out of the building. Geese laughed the most horrible laugh rock had ever heard.

All the people were dressed differently, sort of like those old 80's movies rock used to watch.
