Chapter Two:

Mars Returns

Kevin had slept all night, and Alan did too. Kevin opened his eyes wearily, staring up at the ceiling. He couldn't remember much from last night, only a few blurs. He groaned heavily, rolling off the sofa and onto the floor. He noticed his mask was off, and got up looking around for it. He sighed heavily, dragging his mask off the small table beside him.

"What the hell happened last night...?" He groaned. His mask smelt like alcohol and smoke. Kevin got the idea he must have been fighting last night. He pulled his mask over his face, and staggered towards the bedroom. He opened the door slowly, peering in. Alan was asleep, half on the bed and on the floor. His Welsh Flag cape was covering his face, and his upper body was on the floor. He had the same pants on as last night, and Kevin noticed he hadn't changed clothes either. "Alan! Wake up!" Kevin shouted. Alan stirred and groaned, but didn't wake.

"No... it's Sunday..." Alan groaned. Perhaps he was awake, or just dreaming. Kevin sighed heavily, noticing his other clothes over a chair. Kevin grabbed them, and walked out of the bedroom.

Kevin stood staring at his reflection in the mirror. Something puzzled him... why did all his family wear a mask? What was their big secret? What was the point? But Kevin got used to wearing an iron mask for what... around 20 years, possibly more? Suddenly, he heard someone banging at the door. Who could it be? Lazily, Kevin pulled he mask over his face and proceeded to the front door. He groaned, and opened the door. Stood in front of him was the woman from last night, the girl in the last match. Kevin blinked heavily. She looked the same, only this time a different T-shirt. Kevin didn't speak; he just folded his arms over his chest.

"What?" Kevin snapped. Sarah stepped inside, pushing Kevin back.

"YOU owe ME a match!" She snapped, pointing at Kevin. Kevin growled, pushing her back out of the door.

"And? I owe you nothing, and right now I'm not in the mood to fight ANYONE!" Kevin snapped. He tried to slam the door, but Sarah stopped the door with her foot.

"Look you tin head! I didn't travel half way across the world to fight a drunken Chojin! Alan promised you would fight me some other time! Fight me now!" Sarah yelled. Kevin stood back on the doorframe, looking like he was tried and couldn't careless. "Well at least call me so we can have a rematch!" She snapped, handing Kevin a small piece of paper. Kevin took it, and then slammed the door in her face. He shrugged, and heard sniggering behind.

"Did I miss something" Alan sniggered. Kevin growled at him.

"Shut up! Don't butt in, and for god's sake get a shirt on or something!" Kevin snapped. Alan sniggered. Kevin had enough of running around and owing things to people, in fact everything was Alan's fault. He never cleans up when its his turn, so Kevin doesn't clean anything either.

"Don't snap at me. I know what it's like when you find out a girl doesn't like you; I mean that was clearly obvious! Don't get your hopes up she doesn't like you." Alan laughed, leaning on the doorframe. Kevin shook his head as if Alan was mad. "Don't deny it, it's written all over your face... Mask."

"Well maybe I shouldn't hold onto this, you give your girl friend a call." Kevin snapped back, a little calmer, though. He threw the paper with Sarah's number on at Alan, screwing it up into a little ball first. "Seen as you've had half the girls I know after your Welsh backside, it wouldn't surprise me if there's already something going on with you two. Why did you stop our match? Afraid your spring chicken would get hurt?"

"Oh really now Kevin. 99.99% of your fan girls want to marry you, the other 00.001% happens to be men, though maybe they might want t-"

"Shut up!" Kevin yelled. Alan froze, watching Kevin walk out the door, slamming it so hard some of the dishes smashed in the kitchen. Alan blinked.

"Geh... it was just a joke..."

"If he wasn't paying for everything... I would have smacked that stupid smirk off his face..." Kevin grumbled and muttered to himself while walking down the streets. Thank god it was early in the morning, not many people were around, only a few girls saw Kevin and started giggling. Thank god Kevin wore a mask, too, so no one would see him blush. Tough on the outside, but inside... Kevin was different. He sighed heavily, lowering his head staring at his feet and walking faster.

"Hey, squealer..." A sinister voice laughed. Kevin Mask knew that voice. His head shot up, seeing nothing in front of him.

"I would know that voice anywhere... but it can't be, he's not that stupid." Kevin muttered to himself. "I need a drink... I'm starting to hear things..." He sighed heavily to himself, walking faster and faster. The morning air was damp and cold, but it made Kevin fell awake. He turned down the street, coming face to face with a pub. The sign above was swinging slightly in the wind, making it feel like a bad thing. Kevin stopped dead. For the past year he had been drinking, but over the months it got worse, and his skills became horribly shabby. Maybe it was drinking... and the fact that Kevin spent 24 hours with a weirdo. Or maybe it was something... else... No... that was just stupid Alan's words. Kevin refused to believe anything Alan had "thoughts" about.

"I won't drink anymore..." Kevin muttered to himself, walking straight past the pub. He shoved his hands in his pockets and continued down the lonely streets of London. Life was... boring...

"Daddy's boy's got anymore secrets ta spill?" The same familiar voice laughed. Kevin spun around, putting his guard up and looking side-to-side frantically. No one spoke...

"Mars? Show yourself, you coward!" Kevin shouted. No response. There was silence for a while, until laughing was heard. More than one voice laughed, however.

"Oh I'm da coward now? Even though you betrayed ya fatha' ta me and betrayed me 'bout betrayin' your fatha'?" Replied the voice, clearly Mars. Though Kevin couldn't see Mars anywhere, and the two other voices just kept laughing. Kevin clenched his fist hard in anger. "Oh, an' den you go join da Muscle League, bu' you was in the dMp first ta make ya fatha' angry... I jus' dun get you, Kev'. I could go tell all ya secrets to ya fatha', all the crap you did in da dMp. Bu' I won't... not yet... might scar ya family even more..."

"Shut up about my family! You know nothing about them, at all!" Kevin shouted, clenched his fist harder and harder. The laughter came again.

"All I knows, is day was pathetic excuses for warriors!" At this comment, Kevin charged towards where ever Mars's voice was coming from. Into the ally beside him, into the darkness, not knowing what was there. Kevin suddenly came to a skidding stop, seeing three great big pairs of glaring eyes staring at him. The tall dark figure of the God of War stood in front of Kevin. To Kevin's side was a smaller man with weird, yellow glowing eyes, and too Kevin's right was an average size man, half in the dark. Mar came out into the light, grinning at Kevin. "We used ta be buddies in the dMp, and you told everyone da secret, you nearly ruined my plan, an' I'm convinced it's all your fault I lost ta Kid Coward!" Mars yelled. Kevin lowered his guard, and loosened his clenched fist, laughing.

"So Mars, you brought three? Well, that seems like a fair fight! I can take all you losers on!" Kevin laughed. Mars stepped back into the shadows, no doubt with a grin on his face.

"I won't be comin' in 'til the end of this. I think you'll find dat these two 'ave a might big surprise in store for ya, squealer." Chuckled Mars. Kevin laughed lightly, raising his guard and waiting for anything that was thrown at him. The smaller man walked out from the shadows, revealing his hair to be short, spiky and blonde, his clothing yellow and his body not-so- tough looking. The average height guy walked out of the shadows, and Kevin was amazed. The man was very strong, by the way his body looked, he was dressed in army uniform (of some sort) and his right arm was made of metal... it was bigger than his other arm, shinning, silver metal. Kevin could only imagine what would happen if he were hit by that man. "Say good night, ya squealing rat!" Mars shouted. Kevin backed away from the two men, who were laughing. But this time...Kevin was going to fight to his maximum...

"Mars, it's morning." He said. Kevin charged at the smaller man, delivering a punch at his noses. Kevin then kicked the man in the side, pulled his leg back and went for another kick, this time, the man caught Kevin's foot.

"Andrew, now!" Shouted the small man, in a strange misty voice. The guy with the metal arm, named Andrew it seemed, drew back his right arm, aiming a punch right to Kevin's face. He ran forward, and with nothing left to do Kevin put his arm up in defence. Kevin felt the power of Andrew's still punch hit his arm; it was like Kevin's bones were shaking and rattling all the way up his arm. Kevin grunted in pain, and the small fighter released his tight grip on Kevin's leg. Kevin fell to the ground, clutching his hand. That was impossible... Kevin knew it for a fact. Without warning, the small guy came at Kevin with a kick, hitting Kevin in the stomach. Kevin groaned, but got up straight away.

"You know... my friend here has a really bizarre name... it's Shock..." Andrew said in a "tough-man" voice. Kevin raised his eyebrow under his mask.

"They call me that because..." Said Shock, charging up to Kevin and grabbing Kevin's shoulder. Shock's grip was extremely tight. Suddenly, Kevin felt a shock of electric energy travel through his body. It was painful. Kevin felt his body burning, as if he was going to turn into dust any second now... but then Shock stopped. Kevin fell to his knees, gasping for air. He couldn't believe how powerful these people were... Kevin was amazed. Suddenly, the steel fist of Andrew hit Kevin's mouth, well mask. Kevin staggered back, and blood started dripping from his mask. Andrew came at Kevin for another punch, and Shock was running at Kevin from behind. Kevin swung his fist at Shock, punching him in the mouth. Shock staggered back, and then...

SMACK! Another powerful punch sent to Kevin's back. Once again, Kevin's bones seemed to shake and rattle in his body. This time the pain was sent to all Kevin's body... it was... unbearable... Kevin fell to his knees, panting on the ground. How was this possible? Suddenly, another shockingly powerful punch smacked Kevin in the back, and before Kevin could even fell the pain, another one hit, and another, and another. Punch after punch...

"Kevin, you can't beat these guys, dey is da best of the best! I dun think I can beat 'em myself, 'cause dey ain't like normal Chojin's... dey is much more powerful. Dey trained for years 'en years... I t'ink you'll find it impossible to defeat them!" Mars laughed from the shadows. Kevin fell flat on the ground from the punches, feeling like his back had had hot coal poured on it then water, in other words his back burned like hell. "Oh and Kevin, I got a little goin' away gift... Swallow Tail" Mars yelled. Kevin's eyes widened. He tried to get up, but however hard he tried... he just couldn't. He could hear Shock and Andrew sniggering. That was the wake up call. Kevin flung himself over, noticing Mars was right above him. Kevin quickly rolled out of the way, dodging the attack, but his leg was slashed by Mars's sharp tail. Kevin groaned in pain, and lay back on the floor. Mars's red eyes glared at Kevin... it wasn't over yet... "Andy, finish him off!" Mars laughed. Kevin gulped. Andrew picked Kevin up off the ground without much effort, pulled his metal fist right back, and punched Kevin right in the place where his nose was. The power of the punch sent Kevin flying into the wall... then the already dark ally went pitch black...
