Let me Be Surprised Part 3

Kevin got up from his seat and walked over to Jeager.

"Wait!" he called down the hall. Jacqueline stopped and turned back to him with a scowl.

"Kevin go away. We-"

"Nine." Said Jeager interrupting her. He looked up from his chair at Kevin who now stood before him." You vant something?" he asked when he was just standing there.

"Yes." Said Kevin." That fight could have gone either way, our strength was that close."

"Nine." Said Jeager to Jacqueline's surprise with a smile on his face." Vhis vas your victory."

"I was only able to go that extra mile because you pushed me. I would never have had that push, if I didn't face an opponent like you Jeager." Kevin's eyes scanned over to Jeager's arms. "How are your arms?"

"The Devil in un Iron Mask caring for someone else's vounds, cut it out." He joked.

"What will happen to you?"

"I'll be out of wrestling for a while."

"When do you think you'll heal up, it would be my honor to do battle with you again." Jeager hung his head and turned to Jacqueline.

"Forever." She replied.

"What?" Kevin looked at her confused.

"He's quitting the ring and joining me in management."

"Jeager is that true?" He asked turning to him.

"Ja, it vas my only option after losing to you."

"Are you saying that I-"

"Yes Kevin you caused it." Jacqueline finished.

"No, Jeager. Take the belt, I don't need it. You deserve it you-"

"Nine." Said Jeager." Mine path is clear Kevin Mask un so is yours. This is your victory, vear your belt with pride." Kevin nodded and Jeager nodded back.

Then Kevin leaned forward and took Jeager's hand who was able to form a grip on it.

Four Years Later.

Many things had changed in the past years. Kevin became Leader of the Muscle League much like Kid Muscle before him, and he was just as liked. Jeager hung up his wrestling boot and joined Jacqueline as a company executive, it being the only way she'd agree to marry him. And on top of all that everyone had a miniature version of themselves running around.

Today was a very important day. Well to Jacqueline and her family it was. They were going to sit down with the Choujin Champion and discuss policies over live TV. It was something they looked forward to but it was something Kevin dreaded.

Kevin rolled up on his bike and parked it in the parking lot. Then he made his way into the locker room seeing many of the other Muscle Leaguers there.

"Sup Kev." Greeted Terry as they passed.

"Kenyan how are you?"

"Good morry my fellow Englishman."

"Checkmate." Kevin greeted with a pat on the back. Kevin turned around to see Jeager in the doorway, wearing a suit.

"Kevin." He addressed." You're on un five, get ready."

"I know, I know."

"Un I'd recommend you vear something appropriate." Kevin looked down at his attire consisting of a pink shirt, black pants, brown boots, his trench coat and his iron mask. He shook his head and headed to the bathroom, relieving himself before he went out on stage.

While the rest of the Muscle Leaguers paled around they didn't seem to notice the door open and close behind them.

"Good Day." Said a voice that was strange to them. They all stopped what they were doing and slowly turned around to face the voice.

Kevin at that time just got out of the bathroom.

"Oi!" he hollered." We need more toilet pa-"

"Kevin." Said Dik Dik." You have a visitor."

"Visitor?" Kevin looked at him strangely." Who could possibly be visiting me-" And Kevin looked away from Dik Dik and to the center of the room.

There standing out amongst all the Muscle Leaguers was the one and only Kid Muscle, dressed in his standard civilian clothes.

"You." Kevin said shocked as he looked him over. Kid lowered the sunglasses around his eyes.

Meanwhile out on stage sat Jacqueline and Jeager.

"Good Morning." Jeager greeted the audience as the camera started rolling." Today ve'll be sitting down vith the Choujin Champion Kevin Mask, in a meeting that will decide the course of the Choujin World."

"That's right Jeager." Added Jacqueline." So without further ado, let's welcome Kevin Mask." She and Jeager looked offstage to where Kevin would enter from but then to their surprise he did not enter. The two looked around surprised and confused as Kevin did not appear, the crowd began to murmur.

Kevin had just had his head slammed through the wall. He had ditched the attire he wore for his battle armor as Kid had changed into his wrestling tights.

Kevin quickly yanked his head from the wall and tackled Kid Muscle onto the ground, hitting him in the back with several knee blows. But Kid reached his arm around and caught Kevin in a head lock.

The British Knight rose to his feet and swung his body around, flinging Kid off and onto the floor. Kid jumped to his feet as Kevin approached and the two continued a moving battle down the hall.

The Muscle Leaguers followed after them cheering.

"Jeager's gotta see this." He said. And he ran back to go and fetch the German.

Meanwhile the audience booed and began throwing things into the ring. Jeager and Jacqueline, who ducked for cover.

As Jeager avoided the garbage Terry Kenyan came up from behind him.

"Jeager! Jeager!" Terry said frantically." There's a fight going on it'-"

"Vhere's a fight going on here!" replied Jeager." If I don't get these people under control they will be a riot."

"But you don't understand Kid Muscle's back and he's fighting Kevin."

"VHAT?!" exclaimed Jeager looking at him.

"There's a fight between-"

"Kid Muscle and Kevin Mask!" They said together.

"Vell vhy the devil didn't you say so!" exclaimed Jeager." C'mon!" Then he ran off with Terry following behind him.

Kid and Kevin continued down the halls punching and kicking at the other.

Kid swung up and punched Kevin on the side of his mask and then quickly on the other side. Kevin swung forward and slapped his hand on Kid's face. Then he ran him back and slammed him into the wall, right next to the vending machine.

Kid quickly grabbed Kevin's body, swung him around and slammed him into the vending machine. At this time Jeager and Terry arrived. They saw Kid standing over Kevin and kicked him.

Jeager quickly grabbed a camera nearby and handed it off to Checkmate.

"You know how to use that?" The Chessman nodded and began filming.

Jacqueline meanwhile was left alone with the displeased crowd. The crowd roared their announce but then the tv turned on, and it saved Jacqueline from the violence of the mob.

Everyone looked on the screen to see Kid Muscle fighting Kevin Mask. They didn't know if it was real or not but they all cheered their approval.

Kid and Kevin continued down the hall punching at each other, both looking badly beaten up. They continued up the flight of stairs, the small crowd following them and Checkmate filming it all.

Kid jumped off the top stair as Kevin came after him. The two continued their fight in the lobby.

Kevin punched Kid sending him stumbling back but Kid punched him right back. The two then locked up and tried to grapple the other. Both swinging and pushing with their bodies.

Jeager looked over their shoulders and saw the bar nearby.

"Wait, wait!" called Jeager stepping between the two." Maybe you two should take a break-"

"Break, me? HA!" laughed Kevin.

"Sounds like an idea to me." Said Kid." What do you say Kev, how about a short intermission and a quick drink?"

"Aye." Nodded Kevin after a few moments." Not that I'm tired mind you." He put his fists up." I'm as fresh as a daisy."

"You look more like a black-eyed dog to me." Said Kid entering the bar his friends all laughing behind him as Kevin walked in after him.

Jeager hurried in and too his relief there was nobody else around the bar. So he quickly scurried behind the counter as Kid and Kevin approached.

"Vet me see." He said eyeing the bottles around." Whiskey is nine, it'll get your blood up. Porter!" he exclaimed and quickly grabbed a bottle.

"Ah." Sighed Kevin." It's peaceful and quiet in here." Jeager put two filled glasses on the counter.

"Yea." Agreed Kid taking one. Kevin reached forward and took the other and together, they drank. The rest of the Muscle Leaguers came around the corner, making sure to make very little noise. Checkmate holding the camera on his shoulder and filmed so the audience in the stadium could watch.

"You know." Kevin said after he drank." This would be a fight I'd come a long way to see."

"I hope you can stick around for the finish." Said Kid before taking another sip. Kevin laughed but immediately stopped and grilled Kid down.

"Don't worry about that!" Then he drank.

"Thanks." Said Kid to Jeager. He reached into his pockets." Fill him up again."

"Ha!" laughed Kevin." You'll buy me no drink."

"The drinks are un the house." Told Jeager.

"And I'm taking nothing from you either." Kevin said to him.

"I'm buying the drinks." Said Kid putting the money down.

"You can buy me a drink at your wake." Said Kevin pushing the money off the table." And not before." Then he put his own down. But then Kid swiped Kevin's off the counter.

"I'm buying!" he reinstated and put more of his own money down. But then Kevin grabbed his glass and tossed it in Kid's face, getting beer all over him.

Kid blew the beer off." Bar towel!" And Jeager handed him a towel and he wiped his face." What time is it?" he asked leaning towards Jeager.

"About half past 3." He answered. And Kid reared back his arm and punched Kevin in the face. It was hard it made his helmet rattle and he stumbled back. Kid left the counter and followed after him while the rest of the Muscle League jumped up and followed them, hollering and cheering as they went.

Kevin stumbled out into the hallway with Kid right behind. He came up from behind Kevin and hit him in the back and then a second time. But then Kevin shot out his arm and elbowed Kid in the face. Kid stumbled back and Kevin turned to face him.

Checkmate stood high above the rest of the crowd, shooting everything with the camera. The audience cheered as Kid and Kevin continued down the hallways punching each other.

Then Wally, Jeager, and Dik Dik swarmed out of the entrance platform looking happily behind them. Following them were Kid and Kevin, behind them Terry and Checkmate. The small group made way for the two fighters as they continued exchanging blows. Whether they knew it or not their battle led them down the platform, closer and closer to the ring.

Jeager nodded to Terry and the two jumped into the ring, holding open the ropes.

"Kid!" yelled Terry." C'mon, C'mon!" Kid turned to them and smiled at what they were doing. So he jumped forward through the ropes and into the ring.

He stood up and looked back to see Kevin still standing outside it. But then before Kevin knew anything Wally, Dik Dik, Checkmate, Terry and Jeager hoisted him up into the air. The group stepped back and with one great toss sent Kevin into the ring.

He landed on one knee, extending his arms and greatly exciting the crowd. As the crowd cheered Kevin rose to his full height and looked across the ring at Kevin.

There they were the two Greatest Champions of all time. The Choujin Champions, The Tag Champions, the Two Best Friends.

They smiled at each other and together kicked up and lunged for each other meeting in the middle of the ring.
