King of Fighters Ch.12:

To face the Fighters!

Terry,Ryo,and Kyo all stood across from Vinnie,the tournament organizer who had just finished giving out the details on the last of the tournamen finals.

"So..."said Ryo. "..we've gotta take on these three final champions,and the contest will be won?"

"Oh,just not these three,"said Vinnie. "but after that,each other...and the one standing,shall face--the supreme challenger!"

"And that person is...?"said Kyo.

"Sorry,boys."said Vinnie. "But that's a secret you'll have to fight to get to. But in the end,only one will take home the championship. Now...are you ready to fight again?"

"You bet we are."said Terry. "Just lead the way."

Vinnie lead the trio down a corridor and they all stopped before a trio of doors.

"Beyond these doors lie three remaining fighter pits."said Vinnie. "And no worries,there's no deadly traps this time,just a simple fighter's ring to battle in,and a fair amount of crowds in the bleechers to watch."

"So...we've got some more spectators again eh?"said Terry.

"I sure hope they're not more street punks and bums like the ones we and everyone else have been fighting around."

"No,no...they're just sports and fight fans from around these blocks looking for some real action."said Vinnie.

"And some local fight clubs wanna see and get it on the action. Now,ya ready?"

The trio nodded in approval.

"Now,who wishes to take on who first?"said Vinnie.

Terry stepped forward.

"I wanna take on Buzz,i'm in a grappling mood tonight."he said as he went up to the door in the middle marked Buzz.

"And i'll take on Kato,he'll see what real martial arts are about."said Kyo as he stepped up to the door marked Kato.

Ryo shrugged and went up to the door marked TY.

"I guess that leaves me with the kickboxer."he said.

"All right then."said Vinnie. "Fight hard against these contenders,they may fight dirty all the way. So good luck!"

The doors each opened and each of all three of them entered.

While back out in the hall,Vinnie took out a cell phone and called his boss.

"Sir...they have went inside."he said.

"Good."said a voice on the other end."Whoever is left to face me...shall feel my wrath!"

Terry Bogard found himself in a vast and wide arena with rows of people on both sides above the walls in blacher stands.

"HEY--IT'S HIM--IT'S TERRY BOGARD!"said one of the patrons.

"OH YEAH,THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD!"said another.

"Hmmm..nice to see word gets around from Southttown on what I did to Geese in one of the first KOF's."thought Terry.

"I wonder how good this Buzz really is?"

Suddenly,a pair of double doors across from Terry opened and out stepped his challenger.

He was large and a few feet taller than Terry,he wore a pair of blue leotards with a white belt around his waist,black arm bracelets and white boots.

He was Buzz the pro wrestler,and he was here to crush his competition.

"So..."he said in a southern voice. "...you're the great Terry Bogard huh?"

"That's me."he said. "You must've been some pretty hot stuff back in your time."

"I'm still a hot one to fight,Bogard!"said Buzz. "You may have beat Geese and Krauser in those fancy KOF's--but you're going up against real fighting here!"

"Well,whatever ya say."said Terry. "Le'ts just get this show on the road."

"You bet!"said Buzz.

The pair took up their fight stances and the match began...

Buzz made the first move as he thrust forward at Terry and did a Spin fist attack.

Terry ducked it and then came up at him with a Rising Tackle that sent Buzz to the sawdust covered floor.

Buzz growled and got back up again.

"I'm gonna rip ya a new one,got that?"he said.

"Well,show me what ya really got,okay?"said Terry.

Buzz jumped into the air and landed directly in front of Terry.

Before Terry could make a move,Buzz grabbed him by the shirt and slammed him with a Head Butt!

The lone Wolf fell to the floor by the impact.

"YEAH--GOTCHA!"said Buzz.

But before he knew it,Terry spun on his side and lashed out with a leg-sweep on Buzz,toppling the giant to the ground.

Terry then kicked Buzz in the face,knocking him across the floor.

Terry then jumped back to his feet,while Buzz crawled to his feet.

"You got lucky that time,Bogard!"said Buzz. "But i'll win in the end!"

"What a blowhard!"thought Terry."He might have been prime in the ring back then--but he's up against prime Southtown fighting now!"

Buzz ran and jumped at Terry again and did a thrust kick,Terry dodged it and slammed a Burn Knuckle into his chest!

The wrestler staggered backwards,but kept on his feet.

Terry then tried for another Burn Knuckle,but as he did it,Buzz came at him with a full body slam and knocked him to the ground in turn.

Terry then back-flipped again to his feet and tried for another attack.

"POWER WAVE!"

Terry shot the energy blast at him,but Buzz jumped over it and came down on Terry's head,knocking his hat off and slamming him to the floor.

He then grabbed ahold of the fighter,lifted him into the air,and brought him down with a Piledriver.

"WHAAAAMM!"

The noise was so loud,it echoed through the ring.

Buzz stood over his fallen opponent.

"Lone Wolf--HA!"said Buzz. "Now i'm gonna be the King of Fighters when this is over with!"

"Don't be--too sure!"said Terry.

"WHA--!"said Buzz.

Terry shot up at him with an uppercut,causing him to fall backwards all the way.

"How'd you do that?"said Buzz.

"I've been slammed to the floor by wrestlers better than you,Buzz!"said Terry. "Chief among,Raiden.

Now--I think it's my turn to slam you!"

"Oh no ya don't!"said Buzz as he charged at Terry again.

Terry then cahrged up with a powerful right fist and slammed it to the floor.

"POWER GEYSER!"

Buzz was slammed head-on by the blow and was sent flying into one of the wooden walls of the bleecher stands.

"KRRASSH!"

He was the first to be down and out.

Terry was the winner of Supreme finals One!

The crowds cheered his name,seeing the legendary Lone Wolf in action.

"That was fun,but a little too easy."he thought. "I wonder who's really behind this tournament? It can't be either Geese or Rugal,they're both dead. Could it be that old crime lord,Mr.Big...or..?"

While in room two,the match between Kyo and Kato was about to begin.
