Unwarranted Fire
July 30th, War torn Downtown, Detroit, Michigan, USA…
Master Raven's Log: "Master Raven here! I have arrived in Detroit for my next match against the android female, Alisa Bosconovitch. I know you are still getting a kick out of Lee Chaolan flirting with me, but I'm over that. So do not bring it up again! Anyway, this city is in shambles now. There is barely anyone around. I remember this place very well. I've busted quite a few drug raids here on behalf of the UN. My master even had me perform part of my jonin exam here when I was 15 years old. That was a scary time for me, but I had to endure it. Say isn't this the home city of Bruce Irvin? Or is he from Saint Louis? I don't remember. Nowadays, much of Detroit has been made into a buffer zone. The Zaibatsu occupies much of Wayne, Oakland, and MacComb counties in Michigan while G Corporation protects Windsor, Canada across the river. Think of it as the new DMZ line like with North and South Korea. I am still not sure why the Zaibatsu put me and Alisa in this spot to fight, but one of us has to win. And when one of us does, we need to get out of here! Master Raven out."
Master Raven lands her hovercraft near the old hockey arena. An official from the Zaibatsu in Tekken Force gear greeted Master Raven after driving from the city and viewing her hovercraft by radar.
Official: "You must be here for the match. I will take you to the location."
Master Raven: "Very well. But I will stand over your truck."
Official: "Really? Why do that?"
Master Raven: "It's for precaution."
Official: "Uh…ok. Whatever you say. Come on."
5 minutes later…
The armored truck stopped at the old baseball field where the fight would take place. Alisa was with Lars and they were already inside the field for the fight. Master Raven jumped from the hood of the truck into the grassy area. Now she faced Alisa with Lars from behind. Lars proceeded to speak with Master Raven briefly.
Lars: "It's good to see you again!"
Master Raven: "Well if it isn't Lars and the girl behind you is Alisa correct."
Alisa (Shy): "Um…hello. Nice to meet you."
Master Raven: "Likewise, but for future reference do not be so formal with an opponent. Just now I could have slashed your neck without even saying anything."
Alisa: "I see." (Holds her fists in front of Master Raven) "Any funny stuff and I will have to blow you up!"
Lars: "Easy! The fight hasn't started yet ladies!"
Official's Voice (At the top booth): "Are the fighter's ready?"
Master Raven: "Sorry about that Lars. Business comes first."
Lars: "Oh boy." (Backing off wisely)
Official: "Fight!"
Alisa blasted her rocket hands at Master Raven. The ninja teleports and nearly connects with a flying sidekick reappearing behind Alisa. The android flew out of the way though. Alisa took her hands back by reattaching them through her arms. That technique won't work on the veteran ninja. Was the woman really faster than her? Only one way to find out.
Alisa: "Full rocket power!"
With the rocket boosters on her feet, Alisa charged at Master Raven. Raven dodged her punch by evading rightwards, but Alisa surprised her with a spinning roundhouse connecting from behind. Alisa followed up with the Hard Reset Combo. The attack sent Master Raven rolling on the ground three times before stopping. Alisa jumps in the air high to stomp the ninja down, but Raven rolls out again coming back on her feet.
Master Raven: "Pretty good."
Right after the compliment, Master Raven dashed at Alisa and gets her with a Crossing Paths Strike, but Alisa blocks that too. Alisa counters with a fierce uppercut, but Master Raven teleports again. High in the air, the ninja takes out her electric sword and almost downward slashes Alisa. The android pulls out one of her saws and blocks Master Raven's sword.
Master Raven: "What the?"
Alisa: "Forgive me!"
With the right arm Alisa forced Master Raven away from her with another pair of saws. Alisa flies towards Master Raven and the two fighters engage in a weapons exchange. This back and forth of strikes lasted for five minutes until Alisa retracted one of her saws and threw a fast rocket punch at Master Raven. The impact exploded as it forced Master Raven to get off balance. The opening was there for Alisa to capitalize on. Boosting her body, Alisa somersaulted so she could kick Master Raven back on the ground again. However, when Alisa made contact on Master Raven, the android hit an after image.
Alisa: "Huh?"
Master Raven: "Mine!"
Master Teleported back on the ground but jumped back up to hit Alisa with her electric sword. She made sure that Alisa wasn't cut, but the electric waves was strong enough to stun Alisa. Hitting Alisa about 10 times, the android began to fall. Master Raven finally connected Alisa with her Laevateinn strike! The impact sent Alisa flying hard to the ground, creating a minor hole. Finally, Master Raven walked over to Alisa and pointed her electric sword in close proximity to Alisa's chest.
Master Raven: "Not bad Alisa. However, it looks like this match belongs to me. Surrender?"
Alisa (Cheesy smile): "Uh…I guess I will."
Official: "Master Raven wins!"
Master Raven: "Hmph. Nice fight."
Lars (Back on the field): "Alisa!"
Alisa was slow to stand up, but Lars ran for her anyway.
Lars: "Are you alright?"
Alisa: "My battery power has been reduced to 21%, but my circuitry is still running. I should be fine until time for recharging."
Lars: "You guys did amazing. Although Master Raven could have held back just a little bit."
Master Raven: "I did what I had to in order to complete my task. However, we really should not stay in this area." (Calls for the hovercraft): "What?" (She tries again mashing the button on her left wrist bracelet) "Something is wrong!"
Lars: "What's that?"
Master Raven: "Something is blocking my signal to my hovercraft."
Alisa: "Incoming missiles from 5 o'clock are aiming for our area! We should take cover quick!"
Master Raven & Lars: "Huh?"
Two missiles were heading for the direction of the defunct baseball stadium. The announcer quickly told all Zaibatsu personnel to immediately evacuate in less than 30 seconds.
Lars: "30 seconds?"
Alisa: "I will get us out of harms way! Grab onto my arms!"
Master Raven grabbed Alisa's left arm while Lars grabbed the right one. Using her back rockets with all of her power Alisa flew her companions away from the stadium before it was further damaged by the missiles. It looked like G Corporation was carrying out a nuke missile assault across the river attacking the Zaibatsu troops inside the buffer zone in downtown Detroit. Alisa found a safe spot in the middle of a random street where she placed Lars and Raven back on their feet.
Master Raven: "Thank you Alisa."
Alisa: "You are welcome."
Lars: "That was too close, but I don't understand. Why is G Corporation shooting at us?"
Master Raven: "As I thought, G Corporation is taking advantage of the tournament by eliminating as many targets as possible here in this buffer zone. Although I believe the Zaibatsu probably doesn't care if they lose some random soldiers or its competitors in this tournament. The less threats the better."
Lars: "Where is your hovercraft?"
Master Raven: "It should still be near the hockey arena, but we have to be careful of the missiles."
Alisa: "Oh no! Three more missiles coming this way from 4 o'clock!"
Master Raven: "C'mon let's run by foot!"
After running for about 10 minutes, Lars and Master Raven were getting exhausted. However, the view of Master Raven's hovercraft could finally be seen near the hockey arena. However it appeared that some Tekken Force soldiers were guarding the vehicle and also firing back with RPGs going over the river in retaliation. Sensing that her companions were fatigued from running, Alisa took offense flew over and began to attack the guards at the hovercraft.
Tekken Force Soldier (Blindsided by Alisa): "What in the….oof!"
Tekken Force Soldier 2 (Shoots at Alisa): "It's that android!" Aagghh!
Alisa (Connects with another hit): "Rocket punch!"
Reloading another fist, Alisa aims at the two other soldiers with the RPGs from behind. The impact from the projectile attack caused the men to fly away and scatter. Alisa wanted Master Raven and Lars to use the time to start the hovercraft and fly off.
Alisa: "I will guard the aircraft while you two hop in and start it! I can still fly with my short battery power!"
Lars: "Okay! Just don't overdo it Alisa!"
Master Raven (Opens the hatch manually): "Good! It still works!"
The ninja wasted no time turning on the engines while Lars jumped in the second seat behind her. The third and final was reserved for Alisa until she could escape. After Alisa finished beating the rest of the Tekken Force squadron, she flew higher in the air to follow the hovercraft before more missiles could hit them. Finally leaving Detroit, Master Raven decided to fly back down into a random old farm field in Northern Ohio so Alisa could catch up with her and Lars.
Master Raven: "I think Alisa should be behind us."
Lars: "I think I see her from the sky coming down."
Master Raven: "Good, let's get out and regroup."
Alisa (Lands on feet but collapses): "I'm…running out of…power."
Lars: "Alisa! You need to recharge don't you?"
Alisa: "I'm just at 7% now."
Master Raven: "What plug outlet do she use Lars."
Lars: "She has a USB port and a Type A plug extension."
Master Raven: "I hope my USB cable is long enough. It's about 20 feet. I will fly us back to my home in New York state. Alisa will be able to recharge much quicker there."
Lars: "I can't thank you enough Master Raven."
Master Raven: "Sure thing. Now let's go."
Back at her secret home…
Master Raven's Log: "Master Raven here. I completed my latest match with the android Alisa Bosconovitch. I came out on top. However, I disapprove of the Zaibatsu sending both of us to fight in such a dangerous area that Detroit has become. G Corporation launched a nuke missile attack in the downtown area, right after our match ended. They somehow cut off my communication, but thanks to Alisa and Lars's efforts we reached my hovercraft and got out of imminent danger. Right now, I have them in my home. I know…surprising. I trust Lars and Alisa that they will not reveal my house address in rural New York State. I only live out here so that I can fly to New York City in just 20 minutes. Anyway, once Alisa's battery is 100% recharged by tomorrow, I will take Lars and Alisa back to Sweden so they can continue recuperating there. My next match is against Bob Richards. I really do not want to see him again, but a job's a job. I will keep you posted before the fight C.O. Master Raven out!"
