Dynastic Kingdom Slugfest

Episode 16

----------------

At the ring…

"Guan Yu," Cao Cao gasped. But, Guan Yu didn't walk over to him; instead he stands on the corner turnbuckle watching the battle go on and analyzing his opponents before he engaged in battle with them.

"Just what is in your mind, Guan Yu?" Cao Cao thought as he looks back at his two enemies exhausted from dealing with his strongest officers.

Gan Ning getting pissed off being the only Wu officer to get double and triple teamed because he is the strongest Wu officer and hates defense. When Zhang He was prepared to execute one of his moves following up Xiahou Yuan's barrage attacks, Gan Ning quickly escaped the unison with his masou to the other side of the ring.

"A beautiful evasion, yet pitiful, you aren't even good at defense," Zhang He thought as Xiahou Yuan nodded at him and they turn to Cao Cao who was mocking the sworn brothers.

Gan Ning took a deep breath; breaking off the sweat on his forehead. He noticed Liu Bei was fighting against Yuan Shao; the infamous Liu Bei who married Sun Shang Xiang and had now breaks up with her. If Gan Ning could eliminate this guy, then everyone at Wu will know why he deserves Lady Sun's love.

"Very interesting…" Gan Ning thought as he slowly made his way to Liu Bei, wanting to surprise the Shu ruler with the sounds of the bells chime terror.

Guan Yu saw the pirate coming after his lord. He thinks about what Liu Bei said if anything happen like when Liu Bei attacks Gan Nings or eliminate Gan Ning, the chances of Shu wouldn't be favored by the audience they'll be just as bad as Wei being heels. But, Guan Yu is the big bad ass of Shu among his brother Zhang Fei; they accept fighting Wu and pose them as a greater threat. He quickly dash to aid Liu Bei.

"Your inheriting is merely an excuse to call yourself a nobleman!" Yuan Shao argued, as he tries to break out of the dreadlock from Liu Bei.

"Your name is meaningless if it weren't for my family who positioned your corrupted family to higher ranks," Liu Bei retorted, executing a spinning slash forcing Yuan Shao meters back, but the distinguish man won't falter, he did his dive attack with his helmet as spearhead. But, Liu Bei dodge the charge attack as Yuan Shao hit himself on the head at the turnbuckle.

"Urk!" Yuan Shao screamed in pain, more gruesome as his forehead busted way open with blood dripping.

At the owner's room…

"Hahahah! Yuan Shao's charges! Truly he is The Banana Man," the owner laughed.

Back in the ring…

While Yuan Shao is in agony and pain, Liu Bei suddenly stopped moving as Gan Ning came tapping his sword on his shoulder lightly.

"Tch…now I'm really going to have to…run, run away from this guy who thinks I stole Sun Shang Xiang from him," Liu Bei shuddered.

"Brother.." Guan Yu stood in front of Liu Bei and met Gan Ning eye to eye.

"Booo!" The crowd jeered.

"Don't listen to them, brother. Go on and bring us freedom," Guan Yu said. Liu Bei nodded and went to rendezvous with Cao Cao again.

"Why you don't care, Guan Yu. We beat you before, we can beat you again," Gan Ning said.

"Well, this time…I am prepared," Guan Yu smirked.

Outside…

"So, Xiao Qiao is all legs and Da Qiao is boobs and lace. What's wrong with not finding them attracting but annoying?" Guo Jia asked.

"Because the haters are morons, they don't know the definition of hotness," Xun Yu stated.

"ATTENTION ALL GIRLS, THESE MEN OVER THERE HAVE A FETISH OF GETTING PLEASURES WITH INNOCENT GIRLS!"

"Who said that?" Xun Yu winced. The two strategists turn to see a group of girls barely legal and at late teens all surrounding them.

"Those men stalk and took pictures of us. Show them not to mess with the pretty mean sisters!" Xiao Qiao rallied. The anger mob slowly terrorizes Cao Cao's best friends.

"Somebody? Help, help!" Guo Jia cried.

But, there's no one out there to answer! Guo Jia cried out, stepping back putting his hands up defensively.

"Help…." Xun Yu whimpered as he cowered with fear.

"ATTACK" the girls shouted. They beat up the two men with sticks and stomped them.

At the hall…

Sun Shang Xiang and Zhu Rong break up from the catfight as they stare directly at each other in the eyes. Diao Chan and Yue Ying tried to keep them apar and cried out to go at their separate ways till they meet at the ring.

"Jeez, take it easy Shang Xiang. You're lucky, she could have given you a whole lot of worse beaten," Diao Chan sighed.

"Well…" Sun Shang Xiang turns to call out the ape woman, "Just bring it!"

"The nerve, who does she think she is!" Zhu Rong grumbled.

"I'm terribly sorry about the inconvenience. Shang Xiang's attitude was known for being tomboyish, she was raised by a hot blooded father and a Shanyue mother," Yue Ying said.

"Little minx…she will learn to respect my tradition…" Zhu Rong snarled.

Meanwhile in the darkroom…

"Yes, I want you to join my fraction to shock the whole world. I can't wait to see the look on Zhuge Liang's face when he finds out, hehehe," Sima Yi said.

" It's been a long time and now I shall have my revenge on him. Soon, he will know that I'm talented," the dark figure spoke.

"Indeed, you're not so bad when you get alittle deceptive, hmhmhm," Sima Yi chuckled.

At the hall near where Sima Yi's room is…

Pang Tong finally arrived very late in the arena. He had to do some last minute adjustments of new weaponry for Shu's campaign against Wei. He sees Zhao Yun walking to the door leading to the owner's room.

"Zhao Yun!" Pang Tong greeted.

"Master Pang Tong, you're finally here. How are the preparations for the new siege weapon?" Zhao Yun bowed as he hears from Pang Tong.

"Technically, speaking of preparations, I'm wondering if you'll test it out first before it can be reveal to the rest of the army. My inventions might cause some mistake," Pang Tong said.

"After this tournament I will test out the new siege weapon. I'm about to enter the mysterious man's office for some importance," Zhao Yun said.

"Hmm, I heard you have your own box office. May I ask where the directions to go to the room?" Pang Tong asked.

"It's at second floor. Zhen Ji and Cao Pi are occupying it right now. Nobody wanted to hang out with those two besides me," Zhao Yun sighed.

"The dark couple, interesting heheh, would be good to get some jokes at those two," Pang Tong heads for the box office.

"I'll meet you back there in a few…." Zhao Yun watches his friend leave, then he turns to the video camera and said, "And now for my little scheme."

At the owners office…

The door opens as Zhao Yun enters the room. The Mysterious Man is once again on the phone talking to his secretaries.

"Ah, Zhao Yun, hold on a sec. Yeah, we're getting close to the start of hour number 3. What? They want merchandises like a Zhou Yu pushie and stuff? Well, I'm not from Koei, but maybe we shall give them a call about it," the Mysterious Man said.

"Hmm, and here I thought about getting my own Zhen Ji pillow in my room so I won't get anymore nightmares," Zhao Yun thought as he listen to the owner calling.

"Ok, we're getting close to hour number 3 and we have 20 more officers to go. Ok, later then," the owner hanged up.

"I have a plan that might bring some entertainment in this tournament," Zhao Yun grinned.

"Tell me about it?" the Mysterious man sat down his chair and listen.

At the hall…

"Lu Bu, the boss wants to see you at his office, you got a job to do," Cheng Pu said.

"Well then, more fun than just wandering around the place," Lu Bu stood up and went to the owner's office.

"Wait up, Lu Bu," Ma Chao followed.

At the Zhao Yun's box office…

"Hey, these are classic games selected from the harddrive of the Xbox. They do have roms and emulators of old genesis, snese, etc," Zhen Ji said, satisfied with the game collection that the room has.

"With outdated graphics and limited gameplay," Cao Pi chuckled, as he is despicable and biased.

"What's wrong with that? Many newer games are starting to lack originality even if they have longer gameplay and more graphics. It's missing the fun and feel in them," Zhen Ji grinned, not caring what her husband thinks. She decides to play the Genesis game called Valis: The Phantasm Soldier.

"Looks too kiddish," Cao Pi said.

The door opens and Pang Tong enters the room. As Cao Pi turns to see who is it, he frowned; the masked Shu strategist who was known for practical jokes.

"Well, am I invited? Or shall we all three have fun together? I'm the nicest person in this arena, don't mind my ugliness," Pang Tong smiled.

"Well, it doesn't matter, since all the other pests left the room because they can't face the truth," Cao Pi glared.

"Wei is the best, I agree. Well, the best at bad soap opera," Pang Tong laughed, as Cao Pi slowly grew annoyed.

Outside…

The Qiaos have recovered the photos and burned them while their new fans are asking them sign autography and they agree to do so.

Dong Zhuo's fraction is a few yards away from the crowd. Dong Zhuo became so excited to see the Flowers of Jiang Dong. Things are at his side now.

"Yes, this is what I came here for! Li Ru go over there and bring them to me," Dong Zhuo ordered.

Well, now that the Qiaos put an end to Cao Cao's plot, they must face an even worst individual.

At the backstage…

Guan Ping is getting better with his dancing skills. Xing Cai should be here to watch him get groove like Liu Chan never done that style before.

"Guan Ping, you're up in 5," the staffman said.

"So, I'm finally up next. Zhang He will be a formidable opponent in the ring when I go against him, but he's a terrific teacher," Guan Ping thought.

Lu Meng was standing against the wall watching the Son of the God of War preparing to walk out of the titantron. When Lu Meng smiled, what is he up to?
