Chapter 16: Game Master Arc: Sailor Moon vs. Street Fighter

"Hadoken!"

Neptune dodged the energy ball and shrugged "My turn. Deep Submerge!"

Ryu leapt forwards dodging the attack, then shouted "Tatsumaki-Senpuu Kyakuu!" as he started spinning, leg outstretched, and barrelled down towards his foe.

Neptune leapt back barely dodging the spinning kick and frowned. If Ryu managed to get close to her, she would be beaten up badly in no time.

Not far away from there, Kongo was facing a similar problem while facing Sakura. "Iron Rock Crusher!"

"Gotta do better than that!" Sakura shouted and jumped over Kongo's head. "Sho-o-ken!"

Kongo couldn't dodge or block the attack, so he was hit dead on. He fell on his back and grunted. "She was definitely easier to beat in the game..." the Trooper of Earth muttered as he stood up.

Jupiter smirked as both her and her foe leapt away from each other after a few seconds of sparring.

"Well, I look way better than you." Karin snapped.

"Really? I always thought your hair was as natural as your moves," Jupiter commented slyly.

"Why you..." Karin muttered and charged at Jupiter.

Venus backflipped dodging his opponent's leg swipe then ducked as he hissed by claw-first. "Of all the bloody Street Fighters, I gotta fight Vega..."

"I agree. You're not as beautiful as me," Vega said.

"Why you... Morning Star Smash!"

Vega leapt up and clung on a wall using his claw, "Neat attack, too bad I'm too fast for you."

"Come down here and tell me that again," Venus muttered.

"I really don't wanna ruin that pretty face of yours." Vega said.

"Too bad, I wanted to kick that ugly face of yours badly."

"Oh, now you've gone and made me angry..." Vega snapped and leapt at Venus claw-first.

Suiko, meanwhile, was getting beaten up by Akuuma. He landed on his back after receiving a kick-punch-uppercut combo from the red-haired fighter, and stood up dazedly "Man, this guy looked so much easier in the games..."

Mercury leapt back dodging Dhalsim's flame breath and sighed "All of them. I think Game Master was saving this for the last battle..."

"I'd say some planning would help," Venus suggested after dodging a barrage of Hadoken.

Suiko nodded "I agree, but they're not giving us time to plan..."

"Here they come!" Mercury shouted. The three leapt away as Akuuma, Ryu and Dhalsim renewed their offensive.

Game Master was watching the scene from atop a building. "Yes... This time they'll lose for sure..."

"I'm not so sure," Arcadia said materializing just behind Game Master.

"Arcadia... What are you doing here?"

"I decided to come just in case you wasted your last chance."

"Well, I'm not wasting it. In fact, the Senshi are losing."

"So it seems... Still, things may change."

Mars dodged Ken's energy ball and leapt forwards, delivering a powerful kick at his chest. She then dodged as Blanka tried to electrocute her and frowned "Hey, who left this Hulk wannabe run wild?"

Rekka tackled Blanka into a wall and fried him with a 'Flare Up Now'. He then looked around "We're outnumbered."

"I've noticed," Mars muttered.

"Hmmm... I have an idea..." Rekka said and produced brought you his katanas. "Been a while since I last used this..." he then proceeded to hack at Blanka trying to slice him in half.

"Good idea," Mars commented then produced her bow and started shooting fire arrows at Ken.

Venus saw that and smiled. "Now there's a plan." She summoned her chain whip and aimed at Ryu "Chain Light Wrap!"

Ryu punched the metallic chain, making it bounce off, but to his surprise, it turned around and attacked again. Ryu started punching and kicking at it, but eventually his movements became slow and weak. The end of the chain finally connected, sending Ryu slamming on a wall.

"Well, that was easy," Suiko commented. He noticed Akuuma walking towards them and frowned. "I guess I'll have to take care of that one... Super Wave Smasher!" Akuuma teleported out of the way before the attack hit. "Darn..." Suiko muttered as his water wave missed its target, soaking a good section of the street instead.

Akuuma appeared just behind Suiko, and prepared to attack. A shout of "Hail Snare" was heard and Akuuma got tangled by said weapon. Suiko smiled at Mercury then leapt back and blasted one powered-up 'Super Wave Smasher' at his foe, freezing him completely.

"Two down, a few dozen more to go..." Neptune said.

Karin slammed on a car parked right beside them and fell to the ground, knocked out. Jupiter grinned and searched for another target.

"I really thought they'd be more of a challenge," Neptune noted.

"Kasumi-Suzaku!"

Tenku leapt out of the way as a barrage of sharp knives rained from above. "Geez..."

"We could say she's quite edgy today..." Venus commented.

Tenku looked at her then grinned. "You're around Kongo too much."

Venus grinned back then looked at Ibuki "Need help?"

"Weren't you fighting Vega?"

Venus pointed to a nearby tree, from where Vega was hanging, ensnared in Venus' Light Chain.

"Oh... Well, I wouldn't mind some help," Tenku admitted.

Ibuki leapt up again and once again tried her attack "Kasumi-Suzaku!"

"Morning Star Smash!" Venus' attack cancelled Ibuki's one "Get her before she lands!"

Tenku nodded and charged at Ibuki bow-first. Ibuki couldn't dodge the attack, but still threw another kunai in a desperate attempt to stop his charge. Tenku slapped the kunai away with his bow and hit her head with the backside of his weapon. Ibuki groaned then slumped to the ground.

"Well, I guess that's one more K.O. victory for our team," Tenku said.

Neptune leapt over a purple energy ball and bounced off a wall, landing just behind her opponent. "You know, you're uglier than you looked in the games."

Bison turned around and smirked. "But I'm also faster and stronger."

"But not smarter," Neptune muttered.

"What do you mean?"

"Death Beam!"

"Thunderbolt Cut!"

"Flaming Spear!"

"Flare Up Now!"

The attacks all hit Bison from behind and vaporized him. Neptune coughed as the smoke from the explosion had also covered her. "Gee, you could've waited until I stepped away."

"Sorry..." Rekka said.

"So, this was the last one, huh?" Mars asked.

"So it seems..." Moon said and looked up at the building where Game Master was. "Who's that girl?"

Mercury scanned Arcadia with her visor and flinched "I don't know who she is, but she's even stronger than Game Master."

Arcadia turned to Game Master and sighed. "So, you've lost after all..."

"Not yet." Game Master said and pushed a button on his suit. "Watch this, it'll be interesting."

Arcadia turned to the Senshi and frowned. "Nothing's happening..." Just then, two more figures appeared in front of the group of heroes. "Oh... I see. Yes, this'll be very interesting."

"Prepare yourselves," the first figure growled.

"It is time to die," the second one added.

"What's this? Ryu and Akuuma again?" Uranus asked.

Suiko shook his head. "Not exactly. Evil Ryu and Shin-Akuuma. Possibly the two characters with more raw power in the whole Street Fighter saga."

"That doesn't sound good at all," Venus commented.

"It's not. They won't be easy to beat."

"Let's just kick their stuffing out and then we'll get Game Master and his girlfriend," Korin suggested.

"Sounds like a plan," Rekka said.

"Wait, I have a better plan... You guys keep them busy, and we'll power up for the Planet Attack."

Rekka nodded. "Okay then... me, Korin and Kongo, get the redhead. Suiko and Tenku will get the bad dragon. "

The other Troopers nodded and charged at their two enemies. Both villains had no problem blocking every attack from their rivals, even though they were outnumbered. The fight went on for over a minute, then Rekka leapt back and shouted "Here it comes!"

The other Troopers leapt away from the two villains, just as the Sailors opened their eyes. The energy from all the Sailor Senshi formed into a multi-coloured energy blast hit the two evil fighters, blasting them apart.

"Okay, now what's next, Onslaught?" Kongo muttered.

Arcadia frowned and looked at Game Master. "As I supposed, this was yet another failure. But it'll also be your last."

Game Master chuckled "Really? Who's gonna stop me, you?"

Arcadia grinned evilly "Why, exactly." She shot an energy blast at Game Master, knocking him off the roof.

The Senshi all looked up and saw Game Master falling down. He stopped in mid-air and looked up, just in time to dodge another energy blast. He floated down to the ground and produced a sword.

"What is going on here?" Uranus asked.

"No idea..." Mercury said.

"Die bitch!" Game Master shouted and shot a massive energy wave up. Arcadia let it hit and laughed.

"Gee, that girl sure is tough..." Jupiter commented.

"And since we used the Planet Attack, there's not much energy left in us," Mercury added.

"That could mean troubles..." Venus muttered. She looked up, then looked at the others. "But there's no need to use all our power..."

"What do you mean?" Mars asked.

"Well, I now know for sure Shuji is Game Master. He wasn't around when the attacks started."

"So?"

"So, we cannot kill him. We just have to knock him unconscious and then take care of whoever his boss is."

Game Master overheard that and frowned "They're smart, they figured out who my host is..."

"Less of a reason for you to stay alive," Arcadia said, "But this place's too crowded."

Game Master looked around "So, shall we continue our little duel later?"

Arcadia smirked "I'll be back. You can fight the Senshi if you want, whoever wins that battle, won't be there to disturb my master's plans. Enjoy your last day, kids."

The Senshi all looked at each other as the evil girl vanished. They then looked at Game Master. Venus walked towards him and sighed, "Shuji..."

"I'm not Shuji, I'm Game Master... Shuji isn't here anymore."

"We've heard that before..." Mercury commented.

"Shuji, something's controlling you. Fight it!" Venus said.

"I... I can't." Game Master said.

"Listen, there's people that cares about you," Mars said, "Nanako does, I know that. And I think most of us consider you a friend."

Jupiter nodded "Losing someone you care about is bad. Believe me, I know..."

Game Master flinched as the evil spirit tried to keep Shuji inside. Finally, he spoke, it was clearly Shuji's voice "You... Are trying to save me... Even after I killed two of your friends?"

"We're still here," Mercury noted, "and I don't think it was you, Shuji, the one that killed me. It was the creature controlling your body. Don't let it take over you again."

Game Master nodded then shouted out in pain. The Senshi watched in awe as a dark mist came out of his mouth, rapidly taking the form of a six-feet-tall, muscular creature with dark red skin and sharp-looking fangs. "Well, looks like that is the real Game Master..." Mars said.

"Stupid humans! My name is Arkin, and I will destroy you!" The creature growled.

Game Master looked at him "You sucker... You didn't come out on your own... I kicked you out of my mind..."

"You're nothing but a useless human now..."

Game Master smirked. "Really? Well then, why do you think I'm still wearing this stupid suit?"

Realization hit Arkin and he growled "You stole my powers..."

Game Master nodded "And now it's time to pay back for all what you made me do..." He produced a massive white cannon-like weapon and aimed it at Arkin.

"Oh shit..." Kongo muttered.

"The BFG-9000?" Suiko mused with a smirk.

"Time to die!" Game Master shouted and pulled the trigger. Arkin was vaporized by the massive green energy ball that shot from the gun's tip. The gun vanished and Game Master sighed.

"Well, that's one problem solved..." Venus commented.

"Arcadia is still around," Game Master noted, "You should be ready to fight her."

"Shuji..." Mercury started.

Game Master looked at her "Don't worry... I know who you guys are, but I won't tell anyone your secret... As long as you don't tell anyone mine..."

"Sounds fair enough," Uranus said.

"One more thing..." Game Master said and lowered his head "I want to once again apologize for what I did... Arkin was controlling my body, but your death was my fault too," he looked at Suiko then at Mercury, "If I had been strong enough to fight Arkin you'd never had to go through that experience..."

Mercury smiled at him "You don't need to apologize..." She then turned serious and sighed. "By the way, how did you manage to steal that demon's powers?"

Game Master shrugged "No idea... And I don't really care." He then looked around "I guess we should go back to school..."

"It'll be hard for people not to notice us walking back in, though," Venus commented.

"I can solve that problem..." Game Master said. A moment later, he and the Senshi all vanished.
