Chapter 22
Raven vs. road hog.
"Oh look that's the man that gave me a ride!" Mitchan said excitedly, and pointed to the man in the leather vest. "Oh so it is, my dear could you maybe loosen the ropes a bit their cutting off my circulation." Shigure said and squirmed a bit. Mitchan looked at him and said only two words. "Forget it." She then looked and cheered road hog on. "Come on road hog you can beat her!" Road hog heard her and waved to her.
The announcer yelled "fight!" Road hog was nervous, this had been his first time to actually make it this far. He looked at his opponent, she was dressed completely in black and looking all evil. He decided to break the ice as both she and he began circling each other. "I didn't come this far to be beaten by a woman." He said. "Then come at me." Raven cackled. Road hog did and saw his mistake. She had edged right toward the edge of the arena. She dodged his grab and he nearly fell out of the ring. Only his belly stopped him from falling out. He got back up, turned and saw she was not in the ring. Choosing that time he became his pig self.
In the stands most of the Sohma groups were amazed. The woman had grown huge black wings and flew into the air, leaving Roadhog in the dust. She flew into the sun then started circling like a bird of prey. "Come on road hog, she's up above you!" Mitchan yelled and pointed to the sky. It was then she saw Roadhog change. He grew bigger and more muscular; his hands became two large fingers and a thumb. His face on the other hand jutted out and two yellowish tusks grew out of his mouth. She just stood there awestruck. "That can't be the guy that gave me a ride!" She stammered and sat down. "I actually rode with a pig. I thought a pig was sexy." Shigure was about to say something when Hatori's hand clamped down on his mouth. Shigure looked and saw Hatori shaking his head. "don't, she's liable to hit you." He said as he removed his hand.
Roadhog looked around and then heard Mitchan shout. He looked to where she was pointing, raven came down then. Her talons ripped at his face but he grabbed hold of foot as she let go. "Not today." he said as slammed her to the ground. He was about to flatten her when the talloned foot went for his jewels. He blocked and she was off. "Go ahead birdbrain, try it again." He yelled as he waved a meaty fist at her. "Gladly." She screeched and came down again, and again. Roadhog squealed in pain from the multiple lacerations to his face. The blood was running into his eyes as well, blinding him. Since he could not see he started swinging wildly. "Come on you bitch, come on!" Raven flew high into the air this time and dove like a peregrine falcon. She slammed into him and threw him out of the ring. She then landed lightly on her feet, changed back, and started for the arena area. "Raven wins!" The announcer yelled.
Tigoar and the others ran to help Roadhog up. He shrugged them off. "I can still walk." He growled at them. "Stupid birds!" He then slammed his fist down creating a large hole. "I hate them!" Ivan grabbed him in his bear hug. Even as a human he had great strength. "Calm down piggy friend, drink your troubles away, or as you Americans say, have a chill pill." Piggy started to calm down. "You can let go, I'm alright." Right after Ivan let go Roadhog tried to lunge after raven. "Hold him!" Jon cried out as he tackled Roadhog. "If you want to fight her, fight her after the tournament. That way you can see again." Tigoar held his hand out and Roadhog accepted. "Remember, there's always next year. And if it makes you feel better, at least you improved." "Yes my friend, you made it to the semis. Be glad of that." Ivan said truthfully. The announcer then called out. "Blue bird vs. Tetsuio. Please step into the ring."
Quick note. Sorry it took so long, but I was working on other things.
