AN: Sorry for the month long absence. School's requested many ritual sacrifices
of my social life and creative talents. Thanks for the reviews, I'll try to keep
the production of this up to speed. Chapter once a week if I can manage it around work.
Chapter Three: Getting There
Highway between Los Angeles and Sunnydale, Ca. USA
August 12, 1996

20 Miles outside of Sunnydale
Fight's Music:
The Band: Professional Murder Music
The Song: Slow
Author's note2: Amazing song, found it originally connected to a SF music
video made by Otaku Vengeance many moon ago. It fits too well for me not to
use it in this chapter. If you can, I suggest you download the song to
appreciate it, and if you can find it, buy the PMM cd. No disappointment
there. It also doubles as the title for this story, as per I lacked
anything really creative.
*The cliché of 'a dark and stormy night' does not do this setting justice.*
Mused one warrior as he faced the seven foot behemoth in front of him, while
he pondered the irony of the situation. *This joker feels strong, I had best
finish this fast.* The warrior entered a defensive stance that had been
ingrained into his being. He regards his opponent with the utmost intensity
as the environment around him comes alive with thunder and lightning, which
would be playing havoc with the night-vision of many other men. This one, still
but a boy in all but soul, analyzed his opponent for any obvious weaknesses.
The man in front of him was Sagat, a revered Muyi Tae Street Fighter. He was
built like a mac truck, wearing boxing trunks as his fighting attire as well
as an eyepatch over his left eye. He eyed the boy facing him with a certain
amount of trepidation. Sagat spat on the ground, trying to get the
unpleasant taste of having to face a martial artist in battle out of his
mouth, then moved in for the fight.
The figure in blue gi defended against the initial left-right combo with
ease and retaliated with a lightening fast leg sweep, effectively catching
the veteran fighter unprepared as he began to fall. The blue clad Fighter
opened up with a right roundhouse strike to Sagat's ribs while the giant
was trying to regain his balance. Blue Gi followed up with a left hook to
the massive man's still falling jaw and continued with another roundhouse
kick to his diaphragm. Once establishing who's boss, Blue Gi backed off
and looked at the behemoth with disdain. As Sagat caught his breath, his
rage flared and got the better of him. Sagat charged Blue Gi, feinting
with a right jab but goes for a right spin kick that launches Blue Gi
into the cold sand in the desert at night, landing on his butt. *I SO
did not need sand down there. Time to finish this, this guy's breath reeks*
Blue Gi got up again, opting for a standard getting up and not a
fancy-pants jump or rising leg sweep, as to keep the sand down and away
from his eyes. He entered an offensive stance and started to make his way
back to Sagat. Sagat started making a few jabs at his direction which
Blue Gi deafly dodged them all. Blue Gi opened up with three haymaker
punches and then crouched down for his finishing move in this
bout: "RISING DRAGON PUNCH!" A faint white glow encompassed his fist
as he threw a lightning fast uppercut at Sagat, the glow cut his chest
somewhat but the fist landed directly on his jaw, sending the gargantuan
fighter flying, utterly knocked out.
Blue Gi returned to a normal stance and walked over to the car
Sagat was driving, a lovely BMW that screamed "I'm Rich. ROB ME!"
With little guilt in his heart, Blue Gi rummaged through the car
for a few minutes and returned with a few thousand dollars US in cash.
He put that back in his travel sack and started walking the remaining
miles back to his home town, with many thousands of reasons to get there
faster. *I still can't do that move as well as Ken or Ryu, but it worked,
so meh. See you tomorrow, Wills.* Xander thought while humming a jaunty
victory tune.
