King of Fighters:In the Pits

Ch.5:At the works!

The next group of fighters were taken to a local construction site where there was an open manmade battle ring beneath it's center.

The three suited men escorted the following fighters to the ring.

Clark,Heavy D,Raiden as well as Toji,Lucky Glauber and Tsegumi Sendo were all gathered around a battle ring made up of metal and plastic tubing as it's edges and the floor was made up of dirt and sand mixed together.

The first man in a suit a man with dark blonde hair and a moustache and shades adressed them.

"We welcome you to the dirt site of the tournament."he said."As you know,the other three fighter teams are out at different locations fighting it out as we speak,so,if you wish to join up with them in the finals,this is the place to do it and move on to the next level."

"While in the ring,you may use any means necessary,save for killing your opponent. And if you do so,you will be disqualified and turned over to the local authorities. Understood?"

Everyone nodded.

"All right then."said the man. "Please gather round and wait for your name to be called."

Clark and the others gathered on both sides of the ring,and waited for their name to be called.

"I wonder if Ralf made it to to the next level?"thought Clark.

"All righty folks!"called the same man. "First round,Clark Steele VS Toji Sakata!"

The commando and the dimminuitive street fighter both stepped into the ring.

Toji was a short but stout and muscled old man who wore a straw hat,hawaiin shirt,slacks,shoes and carried a strange cleaver weapon of some kind.

The pair stood across from each other,both waiting to make a move.

"BEGIN!"said the man.

Toji made the first move as he thrust forward and swung his cleaver at the commando.

Clark dodged the attack,and then began to bring down a hard fist on his diminutive foe.

Toji amazingly caught his fist and then threw him right over his shoulder.

"UNNGH!"

Clark was thrown down hard into the gravel ground.

"Ha-Ha!"lauhged Toji. "You commandos are weaklings against us pro assassins!"

"I'll show ya what the Ikaris are made ofright now!"said Clark as he jumped back up.

Tojo made the next move as he ran and jumped into the air at Clark.

This gave Clark an opening as he unleashed his Vulcan Canon Punch on him,slamming the pint sized fighter in the chest and stomach several times,knocking him down to the ground in turn.

Toji then swung on his side and tried to do a leg-sweep,but Clark jumped right over it,allowing Toji time to recover.

The two fighters stood again at each other,ready to pounce.

Clark charged at Tojo again and did a low kind of Gatling spin punch on him.

But just as he was close enough,Toji did his Mirror Murder and blasted both a double hand fireball at Clark,knocking him across the ground.

"YOW!"said D. "That dude's got some heavy firepower for his size!"

Calrk jumped back to his feet,and prepared to fight back again.

But before he knew it,Toji thrust forward at him and unleashed his symbiotic slash barrage attack with his fan at him.

Clark was sliced across the chest and abdomen a few times.

"YOOWW!"said Clark as he jumped back,the top of his shirt was ripped open and a few bleeding cuts were shown across his chest.

"That does it!"said Clark fuming with anger.

"Now i'm really gonna cut loose!"

The Ikari warrior then jumped into the air,came up behind Toji,and grabbed ahold of him good and tight.

"HEY!"said Toji as he struggled to break free.

Clark then brought him backwards into a german suplex motion and then began to roll the both backwards across the gravel ground over and over,until at last,he slammed Toji face down hard into the ground.

"SLAMM!"

He was out,and Clark Steele was the first to win.

"THE WINNER-CLARK!"said the lead man in a suit.

"OKAY!"said Clark giving a thumb up.

"Hey,way to go,man!"said Lucky.

Clark then stepped up and rested on a nearby bench.

"NEXT MATCHLUCKY VS TSEGUMI!" said the lead man.

"Alright,I can't wait to fight again!"said Tsegumi as she stepped into the ring.

"Give it all ya got,Lucky."said D.

"I've been waiting to do this again since KOF 94!"said Lucky. "There's no way i'm gonna lose this time!"
"That's what he thinkstee-hee!"thought Tsegumi grinning.

The two next pair of contestants faced each other and waited for the signal.

"BEGIN!"said the man.

Lucky made the first move as he raised his left hand into the air and called down a fireball from the sky.

"Whoa!"said Tsegumi. "How'd ya do that?"

"If I was you missy,"said Lucky."i'd be worrying how to avoid my fireball!"

Lucky then dribbled it at Tsegumi and then threw it straight her.

Tsegumi then dove for the ground,just as it shot right over her.

"Oh,you think you're pretty hip there huh?"she said.

"Baby,I am the hippest of the hip,YOW!"said Lucky.

"I'll show ya hip,when I break yer hip!"said Tsegumi.

The kid grappler thrust forward and jumped at the fighter.

She suprised him as she did her Hunting Bridge,and grabbed ahold of him by the shoulders lifted him upward and over...and then she body-slammed him on his back!

"WHAMM!"

"Owwiee!"said Raiden. "That kid's got some grip there."

"Yeah,ain't you glad you didn't get to fight her?"said D.

"Yeah well,just you wait we get it on next."said Raiden. "Be ready."

"I was born ready brotha."said D.

Lucky jumped back to his feet and rubbed at his back.

"Man,alright bimbo...you got lucky so far,but this is where Lucky gets LUCKY!"said Lucky.

"So you say."said Tseugumi. "Then bring it on!"

Lucky ran and jumped into the air and did his Hell Bound,shooting a bright glowing arial fireball several times at Tsegumi.

The wrestler girl jumped and skipped around in the ring several times as she tried to avoid the incoming projectiles.

The last one hit her in the back,causing her to crash into the gravel.

"YEAH!"said Lucky as he landed back down on his feet."Got ya good!"

"Like hell ya did!"said Tsegumi as she got back to her feet.

"Ya got any further of those fireballing attacks left,or are you capable of anything else.

Answering on cue,Lucky did his Lucky Vision teleport and re-appeared right in front of her.

"How's that for ya on capable?"he said. "HAHA!"

"Just where I wanted you!"said Tsegumi as she thrust forward and slammed an Elbow Upper into his chin,knocking him straight into the air.

Just as he was knocked into mid-air,Tsegumi jumped upward to finish him off further.

But she sooned learned that was a pretty big mistake.

Once she got close enough,Lucky did his Cyclone Spin attack.

And she was hit in the body several times by a spinning array of punches and kicks.

Tsegumi and Lucky both fell back down to earth,but she landed on her face and he landed on his feet.

"YEAHI AM DA MAN,NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!"said Lucky.

"Brother,is this guy ever quiet about anything?"thought Raiden. "He's giving me a headache!"

"Well,what do ya say,girl?"said Lucky. "Ready to call it quits?"

"N-never!"said Tsegumi as she got back to her feet again.

"I've got something else that even you can't counterrattackand i'm gonna show ya!"

Before Lucky could figure out what she was going to do,Tsegumi jumped high into the air and landed both of her legs on Lucky's shoulders.

"HEYWHA!"said Lucky suprised.

"TOWER DROP DRIVER!"said Tsegumi as she pulled with all her weight and strength.

Lucky was lifted off his feet with Tsegumi's legs pulling him and he was slammed really hard onto the ring's surface.

"WHAMMMO!"

Tsegumi Sendo stood over Lucky Glauber who was out and defeated.

"THE WINNERTSEGUMI!"said the man.

Tsegumi pounded her fists together and rasied them both in the air.

"YEAH!"she hollered.

Heavy D then helped Lucky back up and onto the bench where Clark Steele sat.

"Man,I almost had her."said Lucky.

"Looks like ya still got some things to learn,Lucky."said D. "But don't sweat it,i'll take out the last opponent,and represent the Sports Team by winning this tournament."

"You mean you'll try."said Clark. "Overconfidence can usually lead to defeat."

"Hey,to each his own,shades."said D. "You just watch your ass while I watch my own."

D then entered the ring as did the final competitor Raiden,the austrailian wrestler.

"This last match will determine who is the third member of the third winning team."said the man.

D took up his fight stance as did Raiden.

"Man,this guy needs to lay off the buffets."thought D eying his rotund belly. "Whatta wopper,he'd make fat Albert look like a slim jim."

"BEGIN!"said the man.

Heavy D made the first move as he thrust forward and did a Soul Flower.

THe power wave Blast few right at the wrestler.

But Raiden simply jumped over it and charged at D.

"Oh boy."said D as he prepared for the worst.

Raiden did a few hammer throw fists and began to bring them down upon the boxer.

D dodged and blocked them off with ease as he kept his defense.

D then jumped away and then charged forward with a Blast Upper.

"SLAMM!"

The ki charged fist slammed Raiden in the bearded chin and he staggered backwards from the impact.

"Nnnh...not bad,mate!"he said rubbing his chin. "But as you can see,it'll take a lot more than that to floor me."

"So I noticed."said D. "Well,come on!"

Raiden squatted down and thrust forward doing his Berserk Trident head charge.

THe wrestler charged forward,aiming right for Heavy D.

D stood there long enough to find a way through the situation,and he did.

He jumped forward,planted his his hands onto the back of his shoulders and jump frogged right over him.

"WHAHEEYY!"said Raiden as he fell forwards and into the gravel.

"You're moves are pretty predictable,Raid."said D. "I've seen and fought all kinds of grapples in the ring before."

"I'll show ya that i'm not so predictable!"said Raiden.

The grappler jumped at D again and this time did another new attack.

Before D knew what was gonna happen,Raiden aimed his mouth down at the boxer and a strange but toxic green spray hit him in the face head-on!

"UGGHH!"replied D as he staggered away from the fat slob.

"HEY MAN,WHAT YOU DO TO ME?"he said.

"Acid Breath,gets'em every time."said Raiden grinning. "Now,you're going down!"

Raiden then grabbed ahold of D,lifted him up high in the air and then slammed his back and head down onto the rin g floorREALLY HARD!"

"SLLAMMM!"

"Heavy DNo man!"said Lucky.

Raiden stood over his fallen oppoent and began to raise his fists into the air.

"YEAHI GOT IT!"he shouted.

Sudddenly,D slowly but surely got back up again.

"WHATNO!"said Raiden.

"Your slammer move was goodbut not good enough against a non-solid ground,Raiden."he said. "If it was more solid,i'd be out like a light right about now."

"GRRRRRRYOU WON'T BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME!"said Raiden.

But before Raiden could make another move,D made his own.

D slammed several lightning fast jab attacks into Raiden's plump belly,and then slammed a Blat Upper to his chin.

Raiden nearly fell backwards,but D then decided to finish him off with another move altogether.

"ROLLING SOUL DRIVER!"

He thrust forward at Raiden again,and slammed an energized fist that once it connected,a blast of rlling energy exploded from his fist and into Raiden.

"WHAMMM!"

The impact was so great,Raiden fell backwards like a chopped down tree,and lost consciousness the second he landed.

"THE WINNERHEAVY D!"said the man.

"Yeah,alright!"said D as he raised a fist in the air.

"YEAH,YOU GO MAN!"said Lucky.

The tournament matches were getting underway,and soon they would all face even more greater challenges ahead.
