High Altitude Rumble
Keith stood tall and strong despite the odds weren't in his favor at the slightest.
The Cyborg chuckled as he got ready to fight.
"Let's see what you got?" Said the man.
"More than enough to take you down." Keith replied.
"If that attack was yours was your best, then you're seriously out of luck."
The man charged, covering the distance between them in less than a second.
Keith was ready and defended against the punch with a block, but the force the man brought forth sent shockwaves of pain through his entire arm, but it withstood the blow.
The man then changed his attack as he seemed to move around Keith without him knowing it as he kicked him in the side with a roundhouse.
Blood flew from Keith's mouth as he was sent sliding across the ground.
After a few seconds, he moved, then slowly got back on his feet.
"What the hell is this thing? I didn't even see him move."
"Come on, I'm not even trying." The Cyborg grinned.
Keith spit out some blood to the side and wiped his mouth with his arm.
"I won't quit. You'll have to do worse than love taps to hurt me. Hrrraaa!"
Keith fired a Shooting Star, hitting the man in the face.
The smoke cleared to reveal the man was unscathed.
Then he noticed that Keith wasn't there.
Keith flickered behind him with his Fade Away move.
"Cosmic Kick!"
Keith shot at the Cyborg like a ki-powered drill.
The Cyborg vanished just as his attack was about to connect.
"Nice try." The man flickered behind him and swung and ax kick, canceling out Keith's move.
Keith let out a cry of pain as he smashed into the concrete, literally bouncing from the force.
Keith was quickly to getting on his feet, but he was severely wounded.
"That was my move. How could he copy a technique that took me years to perfect?"
The Cyborg walked right up to him, covering the man with his enormous shadow.
"I know all of the moves you've ever used, as well as everyone else?"
The man's hands became enveloped in bright orange flames.
"Now burn."

Terry and Rock stood together, facing Geese.
"Bogard, I've been waiting for this for a very long time."
Terry didn't react.
"You sure are one stubborn guy. I've beaten you twice already, the second time I dropped you from your own building."
Geese snickered.
"Revenge is a powerful motivator. I wasn't about to die before I killed you."
Terry snapped into a fighting stance, but Rock got in his way.
"Terry, you don't need to be in this fight." He said.
Terry was a little confused.
"For all this time, I thought you were dead. I may be your son, but you'll have to get through me to get to Terry." Rock declared.
Geese hmphed at this turn of events.
"It doesn't matter. You are all going to die eventually."
"Rock, what are you doing?" Terry asked.
"I can take care of father by myself. You have to help Keith. He can't take that guy on his own."
He turned back with a smile.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry."
"We'll see about that!"
Geese was already in the air, trying to catch them off guard.
Rock narrowly dodged a diving kick.
"Go, I'll take care of him!" Rock shouted as father and son clashed with punches and kicks.
Terry understood Rock's desire for this fight and hurried to help Keith.

Kyo and Iori had their hands full with their Cyborg, who was having fun using their own fires against them.
"Shit, what is this guy! It's like he's indestructible!" Iori growled as he deflected a blast of fire with a flame-covered hand.
"No, he's just incredibly strong." Kyo said as he leaped at the Cyborg with a barrage of punches, but the Cyborg took them with a grin and then pulverized him with a flaming kick.
Kyo flew arched in the air and crashed and covered in a pillar of dust.
"On the other hand, you might have point." Kyo groaned as he got to his feet.
"Is that the best you can do?" The Cyborg asked with a sneer.
Both responded by getting in fighting stances.
The Cyborg grinned as a dark aura surrounded him and he opened his mouth.
The two charged as one.
"Haa!" The man unleashed a massive ki blast from his mouth to stop them.
The two split apart as the blast struck the ground and exploded behind them, the wave of dust moving so fast that it enveloped them.
The man snickered until the two burst from the smoke as their fiery auras came alive.
"Let's finish this!"
Both attacked like they were mirror images, plowing their fists deep into the man's stomach, doubling him over.
The two were relentless and unforgiving as they put more and more power into every attack, knocking the man back like a rag doll in their barrage of fists and feet.
"Demon Scorcher!"
"Fireball!"
Both leaped, their fists flaring with more fire as they uppercut the Cyborg together.
The three were consumed in the twin fires of the Kusanagi and Yagami Clans that exploded like a nuclear warhead as their fires mushroomed into the air and finally faded away.
The three were still airborne, but the Cyborg caught the bad end of the deal as he was blackened from the fires and flying back.
The two landed on their feet. The Cyborg crashed like a boulder, shattering the concrete with his massive frame.
Iori and Kyo were breathing deeply after such an attack.
"Well at least that's over." Kyo said in between breathes.
He spoke too soon as the man twitched and then began to get back up.
His clothes were almost burned completely off and his burned skin had greatly disfigured him.
"You'll pay for that." He said as one of his eye flashed briefly.
"Shit, I used almost everything I had." Kyo groaned.
Iori simply growled as he moved his red hair out of his face.
"This is really pissing me off."
X
Andy and Mai were having a hard time with their opponent.
They've thrown everything they had and he just shrugged them off and mowed them down like a rhino.
"This guy isn't like the others. It's like fighting Laucorn again." Andy said as he leaped over a punch and kicked the man in the face, who didn't even react to the blow as he swung him like a bat and threw him at Mai, who was trying to help him and got hammered with his body.
"Mai, are you alright?" He asked after he realized what had happened.
"I think so." Mai replied as he got off of her and helped her to her feet.
"You won't be after I'm through with you." The Cyborg said as he placed his hands at his side as ki gathered into a ball.
"Die."
He thrust his hands forward and fired.
X
"Sonic Boom!"
Guile swung his arms, sending a fast blade of ki, but the Cyborg shattered it with a powerful punch.
"What the…" He said in awe.
The man responded with a powerful blast from his hands, that Guile narrowly avoided as he dove out of the way.
The man was right on top of him, ready to crush him with his body.
"Hyyyaaa!"
Chun Li jumped in and nailed him with a powerful jump kick to his face, knocking the man away, who recovered in the air to land on his feet.
"Thanks for the help." Guile said as he got ready to fight.
"You should watch yourself, I can't be there all of the time." She said, grinning a little.
Guile smiled back before they returned to their foe.
"Let's get this guy!"
Both charged the man and jumped.
"Flash Kick!"
"Ikoken!"
The man was knocked backwards by Guile's foot and hit by Chun Li's blast.
In a flash, the man shot through the smoke and grabbed their faces in his hands.
"Ready for the ride of your death."
The man spun them around as they tried to get free, but he wasn't about to let them loose as he piledrived their heads into the ground and then pushed them hard, using their bodies to burrow into the stone.
Both were battered as they lay in a pile of concrete rocks that they upheaved.
"Uh, at least the last few years of training have helped out." Chun Li groaned as she pushed her self up, but noticed that Guile was unconscious from a blow on his head which bled down his face.
She crawled over and shook him, but he wasn't moving.
"Guile, wake up!" She demanded, but nothing roused him.
"Looks like your friend is out for the count." Said the Cyborg.
Chun Li looked up to get smashed in the face by his boot, sending her sprawling.
The Cyborg snickered as he hovered above Guile, preparing to kill him with a blast.
"Don't touch him!" Chun Li shouted, struggling to her feet.
"And what will you do if I don't?" He replied, not paying attention.
Chun Li sprinted right at him.
"Spinning Bird Kick!"
She flipped upside down and began to hover off the ground as her legs spread out and spun like propellers.
The Cyborg was unaware and got hit by her attack, then was knocked away from Guile with her spinning legs.
"Haaaa!" She then pounded into his stomach with her Lightning Kicks, but the Cyborg simply grinned at her attempts.
"Super Ikoken!"
She put all of her ki into the man's stomach, consuming him in light and energy as he flew across the battlefield and crashed like a meteor.
Chun Li slumped to her knees after using the last of her energy.
"I can't hold out much longer."
She looked back at Guile's lifeless figure.
"Wake up. I can't do this by myself."
Suddenly the ground exploded in the distance, alerting her that the Cyborg was back.
"Not bad, girl. Too bad it was all for nothing." The Cyborg said with a grin.
Chun Li forced herself back to her feet.
"I'll hold him off, but I don't know how much more I can take."
X
Rock and Geese were circling the other, resting from their previous engagement.
"You've grown quite strong. You definitely have my blood running through your veins."
Rock snorted.
"Even though I have your accursed blood, I am nothing like you, and I never will be."
"Like I would take a whelp like you in."
Rock charged and the two grappled in a double headlock.
Geese punched Rock's face, but Rock wasn't about to give up and threw a few of his own punches and swept Geese's feet out from under him.
Geese rolled as Rock brought his foot down, cracking the concrete.
Geese swung a high spin kick, but Rock ducked it.
"Rising Tackle!"
Rock spun upside down rapidly, but Geese blocked them and retaliated by grabbing his arms and kicking Rock in the stomach and took his down with a quick one-two punch to the face.
Rock stumbled backwards, but kept his footing.
Rock attacked, but Geese grabbed his arm and swung him around to slam him into the ground and kicked him in the side, sending him rolling.
"No son of mine would be putting up such a pitiful fight." Geese said with an evil grin.
Rock rubbed a bruise on his cheek.
"Shining Knuckle!"
Rock's fist blazed with ki as he streaked towards Geese, but the man brought out a single hand and caught it, stopping his attack cold.
Rock was astounded.
"Hehe, you're good, but not good enough!"
Geese swung Rock into the sky, allowing him no way to defend himself as he felt straight down.
Geese's ki skyrocketed in a massive burst.
"Raging Storm!"
Geese brought his hands down, crossing them just before they hit the ground.
The pillar shot upwards hitting Rock full force.
Rock was knocked higher into the sky, and then plummeted down and smashed into the ground.
"Worthless." Geese snickered.
Rock then began to get up, surprising Geese as he got to his feet.
"I hope that wasn't your best. I'm just getting started." Rock said, his tone as cold as ice.
Geese could sense a great power building inside of him.
The son of Geese got back in a fighting stance.
"My blood boils for your demise."

Keith was really taking a beating from the Cyborg, but he either was very stubborn, or had a insanely strong will as he kept getting back up after every thrashing he received.
He wiped some blood from his face that was getting in his eye.
"Come on, my little sister hits harder than you do." Keith provoked.
This got the required reaction as the man charged like a bullet train.
At the last second, he fell flat, missing the powerful blow.
"Big Bang!"
Keith slammed his hands into the man and both were blasted away by the attack that crushed everything around them.
Keith lay on the ground, most of his clothes were either torn or blood soaked from all of his wounds.
"I bet he'll be feeling that in the morning." He laughed even though his body was really hurting.
The Cyborg got back up and walked towards the fallen man.
"I can see that your ki is dropping. Allow me to put you out of your misery." The man said as he stopped at Keith's feet, gathering ki into his hands.
"Even still, I'll keep fighting." Keith replied as he sat up, grinning.
The man grinned back as his Hadouken was humming, ready to fire.
"You won't be after your dead."
"Burning Knuckle!"
The Cyborg turned to get his face smashed in by Terry's fist.
Terry landed between him and Keith, but the man was still standing.
"Power Dunk!"
Terry shot up and kneed the man in the chin and then pounded him with a powerful punch that sent him to the ground.
"Ground Wave!"
Terry struck the ground, sending a powerful ki shockwave that sent the man arching away and crushing the area in front of Terry.
Keith wiped some blood away to see Terry with his hand out.
"You looked like you could use some help." The Lone Wolf said with a smile.
"Yeah, looks like it." Keith replied as he took his hand and Terry pulled him to his feet.
"How do you feel?" Terry asked.
"Like I've been through Hell and back." Keith replied. "But I'll manage."
"Good, it might take the both of us to take him down." Terry said as they both got into fighting stances.
The Cyborg got to his feet.
"I got an idea, we'll combo him. Let's see if he can take that." Terry clenched his fists tightly.
"I gotcha." Keith said as began to gather his ki.
The Cyborg was getting irritated with the unexpected addition, not that it mattered, but it still irritated him.
"Guess you want to die as well. Then allow me to be your executioner." The Cyborg leaped into the air and readied another blast.
"Ready for this!" Keith raised his hands over his head.
Terry's aura grew around him as he prepared to lead off.
"Triple…!" He raised his fist just as the man was about to fire point blank.
"GEYSER!"
He punched the ground and a massive area erupted with ki.
"What…" The Cyborg said as he was engulfed, being blown back.
Terry punched two more times, sending another blast that exploded after the Cyborg, knocking him further and further back with each explosion.
"Big Bang!"
Keith sent his massive attack after Terry's, hitting the Cyborg dead on.
The two covered themselves after the shockwaves hit them and they were swallowed by smoke.
"Nice try."
The two were completely surprised as the Cyborg was on his feet, a little worse for wear, but surprisingly nothing fatal.
"Dammit! I thought that would have worked!" Terry growled.
"These are really something else and I'm losing strength." Keith groaned as his shoulders slumped over in fatigue.
"Please. Keep fighting. There's no hope if you give in." Lina called.
The two thought she was talking to only one of them.
"No problem, Sis."
"I'll be alright, don't worry."
The two noticed this and shared a little humor before they got serious again.
"It looks bad. It's going to take everything we've got to beat him."
"I know, the others were nothing to these."
"But that won't stop us, will it?"
"Nope, just another challenge to overcome."
Then both charged into battle.
X
Geese fought hard, but this change in Rock was like a demon awakening inside of him.
No matter how hard or fast he attacked, Rock was always anticipating his moves and countering before he could even begin.
"Cyclone Punch!"
Geese tried to block, but the ki shot was too overwhelming and he was knocked off his feet.
Geese was in utter shock at what he was seeing.
"How can this be? I am Geese Howard."
"That may be true. You lived with the idea of the strong survive and weak perish. Now a new power has taken over. You won't beat me."
"Like hell!" Geese charged in a mad fury.
"Now let me show how the Raging Storm really is." Rock's ki surrounded him as he thrust his hands down.
"Raging Storm!"
Geese ran right into the blast, the erupting power consuming him completely.
"Nooo!"
He shouted as the power threw him like a toy in a hurricane, sending him flying over the edge and vanishing through the clouds.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I had no choice but to do this."
X
Kyo and Iori fought valiantly, but the Cyborg wasn't falling.
"Die!" Iori swung a clawed hand to gash the man, but he teleported away, leaving only an afterimage to strike.
"Huh?" Iori looked around, but it was too late as the Cyborg appeared behind him.
"You first." And he blasted him right in his back.
Iori coughed up blood as the blast knocked him to the ground.
"Shiki Kusanagi Serpent!"
The Cyborg evaded the wave of fire as it burned the air where he stood.
"Damn!" Kyo said before the Cyborg charged and uppercut his whole body with a flaming fist.
Kyo shouted in pain as he crashed, the flames dying when he did.
"You're no match for me. Just give up and I'll kill you rather painlessly." The Cyborg said as he stood over the man.
"Up yours." Kyo growled.
The Cyborg grinned as he grabbed Kyo's head.
"Your choice."
The Cyborg groaned all of a sudden, which confused Kyo.
It was Iori, he had snuck up behind and used his fingers to penetrate the Cyborg's skin.
"How does that feel?" Iori said as he sunk all ten fingers in deeper.
The man growled and grabbed Iori's head with his other hand, pulling him hard.
Iori wouldn't let go and he actually took a large piece of flesh with him.
"I'm growing tired of your stupidity." He charged his hands with ki and blasted the two away, sending them sliding across the concrete.
"Now I'll finish you off."
The two fire wielders got up, badly hurt from his attack.
"My back feels like it's falling apart."
"Shut it, Kusanagi! Pain is something I have to deal with everyday!"
"I think you have your ancestors to thank for that!"
"I said shut up!" Iori snarled.
The Cyborg stopped as the two argued.
"Well maybe I don't have to kill them. They'll save me the time of doing it for me." He snickered as he crossed his arms to watch the show.
"What made your clan think that Orochi could be trusted?"
"I don't know! Well your clan doesn't have to be so god damn cocky all of the time!" Iori fired back.
Both were on the edge of a slugfest for their hatred of one another.
Suddenly a cold wind blew by them.
Normally their own fires would shield them, but their weariness made it easier for the chill to affect them.
This broke Kyo's train of thought.
"Wait a minute. This is pointless. We're fighting because we're losing to something that's not even Human or Demon."
"So." Iori said.
"Remember what K' said before. If we kill eachother, then both of our clans would die out and then who would be able to stop the Orochi from coming back."
Iori stopped, remembering in the former KOF tournament where they had to face Orochi. Their fires were the only ones capable of stopping it in the past, and the only ones capable of stopping it in the future.
"Ok I get what you mean. But our fires are exhausted and that thing doesn't even bleed." He raised his hands, which were clean.
"So what! We just need to stop it with our full powers, holding nothing back."
"If it will work." Iori said as he turned back to the Cyborg.
"I expected the two of you to finish of the other. Guess not."
Kyo got close to Iori.
"Listen. I'm gonna hit him with my strongest attack, that'll leave you to take care of him once he's hit."
Iori nodded.
"This had better work."
The Cyborg was almost on top of them.
Kyo's fire swirled into a bright inferno around him as he raised his hand, calling upon all of his power.
"Neo Shiki Kusanagi Serpent!"
The Cyborg punched the fiery aura and was instantly set ablaze by the barrier.
"Try this on for size!"
Kyo pulled back his arm to the opposite side and swung, releasing an incredible blast of orange fire.
"Arrghh!" The Cyborg shouted as the blast knocked him back from its sheer power.
"Rage of the 8 Maidens!" Iori dashed with incredible speed, catching up to the giant and unleashed a torrent of punches and kicks.
"Cry! Scream! Then die!"
Iori stabbed his fingers into the man's stomach and unleashed an explosion from his hands, knocking the man into the air.
"Bloom of the Wolf!" Iori swung an arm, sending a blast of fire that streaked into the sky and struck the Cyborg.
He struck it with both arms and sending an even bigger and more powerful blast that speared right through the Cyborg's body.
The Cyborg was destroyed as it fell back to the battlefield, but the heat from the attacks incinerated it, leaving nothing but ash to hit the ground.
X
Andy and Mai were having a very hard time fighting the Cyborg, who was relentlessly attacking them.
"Dragon Flame!"
Her long sash burned brightly as she spun, striking the man in the chest, which left a long black mark on it.
The Cyborg was strong, but Andy and Mai worked well as a team.
But in the end, even they couldn't match the infinite endurance of the man as he smashed them with blow after blow.
"Sky Rending Shot!" Andy shot down and struck the man in the face while Mai used her Deadly Ninja Bees to strike him in the chest.
"Enough." The man said as he unleashed his dark ki, pushing the two away.
"Damn! No matter how many times we hit him, we just can't beat him." Mai heaved, her large breasts bouncing with every deep breath.
"We just have to keep trying." Andy told her as he fired a blast, but it was useless against the man's power.
The man opened his mouth and fired a powerful blast of ki from it.
"Mai!" Andy dove onto her and the blast consumed them both in a powerful explosion.
The Cyborg grinned, seeing that he had taken out the two with one shot.
"Huh?" He noticed something inside the pillar of smoke.
Both of them were still alive, the blast had somehow missed them.
"Andy." Mai said.
Andy grinned, but he did take a part of the blast and wasn't in good shape.
"I'm alright. Now let's get this guy." He said as he got to his feet, helping her up.
"We'll have to do this together. There's no other way. With our combined powers. We can destroy him."
Mai nodded, confident in his theory.
"Whatever you are planning, it won't work." Said the Cyborg.
"That's what you think!" Andy shouted as he and Mai charged him.
The man snorted and charged as well.
Both sides closed in on each other, neither stopping.
"I'm ending this little game!" The man pulled back his fist and swung.
"Ultra Sky Rending Shot!"
"Super Deadly Ninja Bees!"
Both shouted together as the three met, unleashing their techniques.
The man groaned as the two cut right through his punch as well as in the middle of his body, slicing him in two.
Mai and Andy fell to the ground, but the Cyborg fell in pieces.
"Well that takes care of him." Mai said with a smile.
"Yeah, we beat him." Andy laughed, which Mai did too.
X
Chun Li was getting the worse beating she had ever received from anyone.
Every blow he dealt was like being hit by a car.
Blood ran down her face and from her nose, but she continued to stand, she had already lost her father, she couldn't bear to lose a friend.
"Ikoken!"
The blast hit and exploded, but the man continued to pursuer her.
She tried again and again and again, but the man shrugged off every blast like nothing.
The man snickered before charging, kicking her right in the stomach, sending her skidding on her head and flopping around limply until she finally stopped.
"Now that takes care of her."
The man walked over to Guile and prepared once again to blast him at point blank.
"No… stop…" Chun Li begged, trying her best to get to her feet, but she was losing the fight.
"Don't worry, you'll get your turn. I'm just going to kill him, just like Bison killed his friend."
Guile's eyes snapped open.
"Flash Kick!"
The Cyborg wasn't expecting this and Guile hammered him in the chin.
But Guile continued as he continued with a barrage of Flash Kicks, knocking the Cyborg higher and higher.
"Haaa!" He kicked off, knocking the Cyborg down and landing next to Chun Li.
"Sorry, did I miss anything?" Guile asked as he took a look at her.
"Nothing a hot bath couldn't cure." She joked as she got to her feet, holding onto one arm.
The Cyborg stood up, looking at the two.
"Listen Chun Li. We'll have to combine our attacks as one. Can you do it?"
"Yeah, I think so." She said as she began to call on her ki.
"Then let's do this! Sonic Boom!"
"Ikoken!"
The two attacks collided, forming into a massive ball of ki that roared like a beast towards the giant.
The Cyborg still had his blast and fired back.
The two attacks hit, but the combined blast won out and destroyed him in an intense explosion.
After the blast subsided, only pieces remained of the Cyborg.
X
Terry and Keith pushed the Cyborg to the ropes. Their combined might was really a sight to see.
"Crack Shot!"
The Cyborg blocked the attack, but Keith used the opening for his Cosmic Kick, punching a large dent into the chest of the man.
"Alright, we've got him now!" Keith charged and then vanished to reappear behind the Cyborg.
Once he turned, he was pulverized by Terry's Burning Knuckle.
The two were picking the Cyborg apart, but still he was incredibly tough as he kept getting back up.
"I think this guy is tougher than I am." Keith said as he scratched his head.
"But he's not human either." Terry said.
"True. So true."
The Cyborg didn't like this turn of events. The others were destroyed already, meaning he was the last.
He couldn't take them together. They would simply keep blindsiding him.
Then he had an idea.
All he needed was the right moment.
"Hehe. I just found your weakness. I can easily beat one of you, but both of you are making it much more difficult."
"That's the point! Shooting Star!"
"Power Wave!"
The two attack shot at the Cyborg, who blocked them.
When the smoke cleared, the two were already in the air and hammered his face in with a double jump kick.
The Cyborg got to his feet, knowing he would lose at this rate, no matter how strong his body was.
"Then let me show you your weakness." He gathered ki into his hands and brought them to his side.
The two were ready to move incase he fired.
Suddenly, he changed directions.
The two realized his plan. They weren't the targets. It was Lina.
He pushed his hands and fired.
The two were already running, trying to beat the blast before it could get to her.
The Cyborg grinned as his blast bore down on the frightened Lina.
"Get out of the way!" Keith shouted, but Lina was frozen with fear and helpless to do anything.
The blast was gaining on them.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion, time passing like a steady heartbeat.
Until the very last moment when Terry grabbed Lina and covered her with his body, using himself to withstand the blast.
Keith had stopped in front of them to face the blast, spreading his arms wide.
"Celestial Shield!"
His aura came up just when the blast hit.
His screams of agony filled the air as the blast swallowed him and he vanished in the light before it exploded.
After the smoke faded, Terry and Lina were fine.
Lina was shaking from fright, but she remembered what Keith had done to save her.
"Keith, nooo!" She shouted as she saw what had happened to him.
The smoke faded to reveal that Keith was still standing, but his shirt was completely gone, showing his burned flesh.
He took a few deep breaths.
"Keith, are you ok?" Terry asked as he let go of Lina to walk around to see him.
"Damn, my shield couldn't stop it." He groaned as he collapsed like a tree.
"Keith!" The two shouted and rolled him over.
"Keith! Please don't die!" Lina pleaded as tears built up in her eyes.
Keith smiled a little.
"Don't be so sentimental, I feel worse than I look." He moaned.
"Thank God." Lina whispered.
Terry's eyes were ablaze with fury at the snickering Cyborg.
"That was your plan all along. You knew we'd sacrifice ourselves to save her. If one of us was killed, then the other wouldn't be able to beat you!"
"Very clever. You figured it out, too late I might add."
"I'll kill you!" Terry charged the Cyborg.
"Buster Wolf!"
The Cyborg snickered as he dodged the powerful attack and clotheslined Terry right across the neck.
"Now I'll have fun with you for a while."
Lina gasped at the savageness at Terry being beaten by the man, the only hope would be Keith.
"Keith, you have to get up! Please, Terry needs your help!" She begged as she tried to rouse him.
"I can't, my body's reached its limit. It hurts just to talk."
Lina looked back to see Terry fighting back, but the Cyborg was toying with him since Keith wasn't there to add his strength.
"Keith, I know your power is based on your emotions! You have to get angry! Think of what just happened. He just tried to kill me now get up!" She commanded with all of her might.
Keith's eyes suddenly came to life with incredible ki as his fury took control of him.
Terry blocked a hammer fist, which drove him to one knee, then he was smashed by the Cyborg's boot that sent him flying into the air, sending him crashing like a rock.
The Cyborg snickered as he was about to go after him.
"Hey ugly!"
The Cyborg reacted and turned to see a battered Keith glaring at him, with an aura that was several times his own size.
"You? Even if you survived my attack, you shouldn't be able to recover so quickly." He said in confusion.
"You tried to kill my sister. You are going to pay for that with your life!"
The Cyborg snorted.
"Your body can barely stand. What makes you think you can win?"
"Because I said so. Now prepare to die!" Keith dashed at near impossible speeds.
His legs and arms were mere blurs to the eye.
His hands and feet flared with ki, getting brighter with every step to the point he was only a streak of blue ki.
"Blazing Comet!"
The speed Keith ran made him seem to have shot at the Cyborg instantly.
Keith thrust hard into the man, his fist punching right through the Cyborg's tough body.
Keith's punches and kicks then seemed to move faster than lightning, treating the Cyborg like a punching bag as his huge body was knocked around.
"And here's the finish!"
Keith gathered ki from all around him into his hands and placed them on the Cyborgs stomach and blasted him into oblivion.
The Cyborg let out one last cry as the energy vaporized him.
The blast exploded into a growing dome of destruction that swirled like a cyclone before rising into the air and fading like a storm cloud.
After the dust settled, only Keith remained, still in his pose after he fired.
His breath was fast and shallow, meaning he was spent.
"Lina, that was for you." He said before he collapsed, again.
Lina and the others ran to help him.
"Keith! Keith!" Lina shouted as she got to him and rolled him over.
After a few tense moments, he coughed, meaning that he was still alive.
Lina felt relieved as she kissed him on his forehead.
"Did I get him?" He asked, his mind still a little woozy after using so much ki at once.
"Yeah, you were great." She said with a smile.
"Hey what happened? Your ki spiked incredibly, just like before." Andy asked.
"That's my big weakness. If my anger gets too out of control; my ki will exceed beyond my normal limits, but it's a one-shot deal so I try not to get angry if I don't have to."
Keith explained.
"Oh, that makes sense." The blonde said.
"Should we get going?" Mai asked.
"Wait, just give me a moment to rest. I really can't move now."
This got some laughter from the group.

Bison was watching their battles, infuriated, yet impressed that they managed to obtain the power to destroy his best Cyborgs.
"Interesting that they managed to obtain such a feat of power that I had never expected."
He zoomed in on the group even more.
"There is something odd though about those two." He said to himself, zooming in on Keith and Lina.
"I do not sense anything out of the ordinary." Said the dark presence.
"True, but also they do not share the same similarities that siblings should have. Their genetic structure and physical traits don't even come close. Even if they only shared one parent there would be something to link them."
His mind tried to find a reason behind this strange phenomenon. Then he grinned.
"This might be a little fun."

Keith had regained some strength and was aided by Lina and Terry, who supported him as they all headed for the opening in the center.
After a slow descent to the bottom, they had reached the interior.
The large area was filled with battle marks from intense fires and sharp blades.
"Must be K's doing?" Kyo said as he looked around.
Unaware to them, Bison appeared behind them from the wall like a ghost.
In a flash of psychic energy, Terry and Keith were blasted away.
Everyone turned to see the two crash into a wall, then turned to see Bison holding Lina hostage.
Keith and Terry got up, and seeing Lina in trouble, were about to charge.
"Ah ah ah, one false move and I'll snap her neck."
Lina whimpered as he clasped his cold hand around her throat, showing he would do it with a smile on his face.
"Bison you bastard!" Guile shouted as he saw what the tyrant was doing.
Bison grinned, knowing they were helpless to do anything.
"Bison, you hurt her and I swear!" Keith warned, his anger fueling him once more.
"Please don't bother with such pathetic threats. I know you wouldn't want your sister to get hurt."
Keith growled, but he was forced to stay put.
"I'm curious about her and so I'll bid you adieu, hehehe." He and Lina backed away.
"Brother, help me!" She pleaded.
Keith broke into a run when she cried, instinct taking over as he raised his fist to punch right through Bison's face.
The General chuckled as he and Lina disappeared into the metal just before Keith punched it, leaving a fist-sized dent.
"Nooo! Lina!"
He punched the wall again and several more times, trying to go after them.
"Give her back damn you!" Keith's fury was turning him into a raving animal as his fists were bleeding, yet he still continued to punch the steel.
"Keith, calm down!" Terry demanded as he wrapped his arms underneath Keith's and pulled him away from the wall.
"Let me go! I'll kill him!"
"Stop it; you won't get to him like that. We have to find another way." He shouted.
Eventually, Keith's strength faded away and he was unable to keep fighting Terry and stopped struggling.
"We'll get him and we'll save Lina, but what go will it do if you waste your energy on a wall instead of using it against Bison?"
Keith heeded Terry's words and calmed down.
"You're right. I have to control myself."
Terry let go of him.
"Then I'll make him wish he was never born."

Pretty big, but that takes care of them, the next is soon to come, hopefully.
Well then until next time.
See ya.
