Chapter 3:The newbie, The master and....who the hell is that!?
"Well here we are! The trainstation." says Ryu. "Hey Heiji settle down! Your making me embarassed!" "HAHA sorry sorry...can't help it! My first battle in the King of Fighters tournament!" as Heiji jumps around like a child. "Man oh man! Can't wait! so where are these guys! Can't wait to fight! I am so pumped up!"
10 minutes later the competitors show up. The first guy was Kentaro Hashimoto...he was 18 year old about average height with normal looks...nothing special of him. Then there was his partner Seta Kaneshiro...slender man average weight...with glasses and blondish hair...looked like a school teacher. Kentaro comes up to Ryu and Heiji and studies him.
"Hmm...so this is what we're up against eh?" Kentaro says smugly. "No match for You and I eh Seta?"
"Seems like we are stuck with the garbage duty again...sighs oh wells...shall we stick to our duties Kentaro?" as Seta says
"GARBAGE! HOW DARE YOU INSULT US!" Heiji yells from the top of his lungs "Do you know who we are!? I am Heiji Kusanagi! And this is The one and only Master Ryuusuke Zabieru!"
"Heiji...don't waste your breath on them...these two are obviously amateurs..." Ryu tells Heiji. He looks at the two fighters and says to them "You will regret saying that...both of you...maybe I can bash some sense into your skulls!"
"Haha...so its the Great Ryuusuke....no one has heard of you ever since the incident...we heard that you have some school hidden in the valleys somewhere...such a disappointment.A great warrior like you hiding away in depression. Do you think you can just show your face around here! Your a disgrace!" Seta tells Ryu
"Why you muther fuckin!" as Heiji starts charging him
"STOP HEIJI NOW!" Ryu yells as Heiji stops dead in his tracks
"But Ryu they INSULTED YOU AND YOUR NAME! THEY WON'T GET AWAY WITH THAT!" Heiji says
"Don't worry Heiji...I will take care of him...he will pay for disgracing the name of the samurai!" Ryu says angerly
"Sorry "Pops" the way of the samurai is dead! its the year 2020! get with the crowd!" Kentaro laughs
"Thats it! Your mine pal!" Heiji screams
Tokyo Cafe 2:13 PM
"Keisuke...don't you think that was harsh what you did? I mean you actually almost killed him!" Sumire says in concern
"Sumire...you know I hate being threatened...No one dares to threaten me!" Keisuke says
"Yea but...did you really have to go THAT far? Could have ruffed him up a bit more...instead of almost killing him." as Sumire looks at Keisuke
"Oh Sumire you know NOBODY messes with Keisuke Yagami! And whoever does dies!" as Miori clings onto his arm "Right Keisuke?"
Keisuke just sits there in the chair thinking to himself while drinking his coffee.
"Yea..." Keisuke mumbles
"Well I guess...but you know I am not really into this who violence thing...she looks towards Keisuke Keisuke you should take care of yourself...since your Orochi powers have limited your life. We worry about you you know? And I know your girlfriend worries...She loves you so dearly. She hasn't been the same since your have become like this." as Sumire puts her hand on his shoulder
"........It's not my problem anymore...I have matters to deal with first..." Keisuke say softly
"She is right Keisuke....I know you love her...but you gotta talk to her...she is a great person you know...she has never left your side." Miori says
"Just leave me alone already!" as Keisuke's voice raises. "She is fine! She can deal with it! I will go back...I will go back till it's completed! I will find a way to get stronger! I will become more powerful than anyone! No one will stand in my way! I will find a way to live longer too!"
Keisuke crushes the cup in his hand. He doesn't care for the pain. The burning of the coffee doesn't bother him at all. Keisuke storms off leaving Sumire and Miori behind.
"Poor Keisuke...He hurts so much...I don't understand why he wants to become so powerful all of a sudden...after that day...he has never been the same childhood friend I once knew. He has changed completely. But...I still love him...He was always there for me. We will never lose our friendship." as Sumire stares into her cup of coffee.
"Yea...He did save me so many times. Been an outcast all my life and No one to turn to. People use to hate me because of my powers...they find it so freakish. He use to always talk to me and make me feel so much better. Till that day...I wish I could help him...He is a lost soul." Miori says while watching Keisuke walk off.
"Poor Akemi also...that's her first love. She never felt like this towards anyone but Keisuke. I can't believe she keeps trying to be with him. She is such a strong girl. So beautiful also. Well at least the closest as she gets with him as by helping the wounded in the tournaments. One day...we can all be happy." Sumire starts to tear
Trainstation 2:20 PM
"C'mon c'mon already! I am getting impatient here!" says Heiji while stretching "Who will be the first to taste my fist?"
"Hahaha...it would be you who will be doing the tasting after I am done with you asshole!" Kentaro glares at Heiji "Bring it!"
The two fighters take their stances. You can feel intensity in the air as Heiji starts making his first moves. He leaps up into the air doing a downward kick into Kentaro's neck. Kentaro stumbles but counters with a punch in Heiji's gut.
"Uaaw!" Heiji blurts out while holding his stomach.
Kentaro kicks Heiji in the face then grabs him and Piledrives Heiji into the cement.
"What's the matter? Gonna cry to your mommy? You wuss you shouldn't even be in this tournament!" Kentaro laughs
Heiji gets backs up with blood dripping down his forehead.
"You fucken bastard...." Heiji says in anger
Suddenly a reddish orange flame engulfs his arm and Kentaro is surprised. Heiji raises his and with the flame in his hand he swings it downwards and flies the fireball towards Kentaro. Kentaro jumps right over it
"Ha gotta be kidding me! You gotta have..." right before Kentaro finishes Heiji rushes towards him with another flame in his hand and grabs him by the throat and an explosion occurs blasting it into Kentaro.
"GYAHHH!" Kentaro screams.
"Your the amateur punk!" Heiji smirks
Kentaro gets back up and clenches his fist. He brings up both arms and as he swings it a wave of energy starts flying towards Heiji. As Heiji gets hit. He rolls back then leaps foward tackling Kentaro and then starts burning him with his Elemental power. Kentaro kicks him off and then is trying to put out the fire off his jacket.
"That is my best jacket you ass!" Kentaro screams at Heiji
Kentaro starts to charge at Heiji but doesn't notice him powering up. Right before Kentaro could get a hit on Heiji. He releases one of his most powerful moves.
"Serpent Wave!" Heiji releases this energy of fire in shape of a snake that engulfs him and burns Kentaro badly. Kentaro screams and knocks out.
"I...I did it...I actually...did it! I finally won my first match! YES! DID YOU SEE THAT RYU! I WAS SO AWESOME!" Heiji jumps in joy
"Haha Great job Heiji Ryu claps A bit ruff but great!" Ryu smiles and applauds Heiji
"Hmph you may have taken down my partner...but you ain't gonna take me down!" Seta says
"I will be your opponent." Ryu steps up "I am gonna teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
"Bring it old man!" Seta yells
Seta doesn't know how powerful Ryuusuke is. Ryuusuke was so fast in his moves. To Seta it was only blurs. Ryu starts smashing him into the walls. As Seta gets out of his grasps he tries to counter him but it had no affect on Ryuusuke.
"HA! Is that the best you can actually do! It was only a mere tickle for me!" Ryu smiles "Playtime is over!"
"What the hell?!" Seta says shockingly
Ryu does a circle in the air with his arms and then brings it together then with one fist he smashes the ground and this earth spike splits from the ground smacking Seta in the chin. He flies in the air then Ryu runs and jumps from the spike into the air. Ryu starts doing a flurry of hits on Seta and then grabs him and flies him into the ground causing a crater.
Ryu lands back down and stands about the small crater. "It seems like...you lost...and you barely even touched me...I still got skill for an old man now don't I?"
Seta looks up at Ryuusuke in pain."I can't....believe..this...I trained so hard....I trained everyday...and still can't beat you...why?"
"Strength doesn't come from only the body..but also from your soul, mind and heart. You haven't trained hard enough.That's why you lost today's battle." Ryu tells Seta "You can never win with just bodily strength."
Ryu walks away and Seta faints. The medics come by and then the Registration Committee comes by to confirm the winner of today's fight.
"WHOA!! That was sooo awesome Ryu! You gotta teach me that move one day! Man that was so totally awesome!" Heiji yells
"Haha..that was nothing...just a small technique I learned during my training....I'll teach you one day." Ryu says proudly
"YES! I am gonna become more powerful! bwahahah!" as Heiji glees in joy
As they walk off to go rest after their first battle. Heiji notices a guy on the sidelines. He is wearing shades and has silver spiked hair. He noticed during the fight he was watching carefully. Like studying them. He approaches the man with caution.
"I noticed you been watching the fight carefully...who are you anyways pal?" Heiji says bluntly to the stranger.
"Me..just another competitor...Mr. Heiji Kusanagi. I have come to join your little team here." says the stranger
"Hmm what makes you think your good enough to join our team?" Ryu asks the stranger
"I'll show you why..." the stranger says
The stranger walks towards a tree. He stands at least 12 feet away from it. Then he brings out a whip in one hand. He unrolls it and the whip catches fire. In a instant the slices the tree and rolls up the whip back in one hand. As he walks away. The tree catches fire and falls apart.
"WHOA!" both say in suprise.
"So...am I in or what?" the stranger ask
"Damn..You can be in! What do you think Ryuusuke?" Heiji ask Ryu
"Fine with me.The more the merrier! Welcome aboard stranger!" Ryu says gladfully
"By the way...what's your name?" Heiji asked the stranger.
"Blackheart....Rain Blackheart...nice to meet you." Rain says
"Nice to meet you too! as you know I am Heiji Kusanagi and this is the Great Ryuusuke Zabieru!" Heiji smiles
"Heh...well let's get going...getting hungry...my treat." as Rain walks away
"Strange character he is...kinda creepy." Ryu whispers to Heiji
"I know I know...but he is really skilled...I mean you saw that! That was pretty cool! Well let's go I am so hungry! I could eat a horse!" as Heiji runs off to catch up to Rain and Ryu follows.
The three start walking towards this resturaunt. Before they get to the place they see the fighter from the beginning Keisuke. A cold chill runs up their spines knowing how dangerous he is. But, where are his partners? Heiji decides to confront him.
"Wow that was a great battle you had earlier! I saw the whole thing! How did you do that?" Heiji confronts Keisuke
"Get away from me or die..." Keisuke says glumfully
"Sheesh...it was only a question and a compliment." Heiji says. "Don't have to be an ass about it!"
Keisuke stares at all three of them with a menacing look. The three get paralyzed in fear of what he might do.
"Sono kubi...Kakiru!( I Will slit your throat)" Keisuke says.
"Hey we have no fight with you right now so leave us be k?" Rain says
"Cross me again and it will be the last." Keisuke walks off
"Shit...that guy really creeps me out" Rain says
"Yea...no kidding..." Heiji shivers. "Oh wells let's eat"
"Haha you said it Heiji. I'm starved!" Ryu smiles
