Rock Howard's life was many things unusual, exciting, and with many hardships but is content with it either way that doesn't mean that he isn't curious about his heritage

-flash back-

when he asked his adopted father Terry Bogard if he knew anything about his biological family at a young age Terry was honest with because, in Terry's words, he had a right to know about this in which he told him who his biological Father is and what type of man he was

"Geese Howard your biological father, was a man that was ruthless, egotistical, and power-hungry while looking down at others and thinking highly of himself," Said Terry then explaining his life story from when both he and his brother were both orphans then when their adoptive father Jeff Bogard adopted both him and Andy the life that he once had but it was taken away from him by Geese and what his journey Inteld to training at a very young age and what Geese was doing at the time when he was away from South City

Hearing about what type of man his biological father was he felt disgust that the blood of a horrendous man was running through his vains and knowing that he was the son of that man and what he did and could have just left him there, but Terry took him under his wing and treated him like a son and taught him everything he knew and in his own way to, and Andy also treated him like a nephew
Like family

And was told about his biological half-uncle Wolfgang Krauser a cruel and corrupt man that prided himself as the pillar of ultimate strength and was uncaring of who fell beneath his feet, thinking he was a genius and that his fights were a master piece so went all over the world to look for strong fighters but there are good qualities to him where he fights strong opponents for self improvement and At times pride and at times out of complete boredom but still he finds respect for the fighters that impress him or in his case beat him in his own game no holding back all cards on the table on the first round in that Terry as well had to begrudgingly respect the man even if they were players on different teams and how he was able to defeat him but because he was defeated for the first time in his life and not able to deal with it he took his own life

Hearing the dark history of his father's side of his heritage was making him angry and conflicted

'Is this who I'm meant to be am I going to be like those to heartless monsters no I don't to be like I don't' before he goes down the dark spiral he that were his thoughts he was flicked on the forehead HARD

"Gah what the hell old man you could have make my headless like that!" he yelled in annoyance for what Terry did to him while rubbing the spot where Terry flicked him

"Kid I know what your think and no you aren't them" said Terry kneeling down to look him in the eyes

"Wha?"he let out in a confused manner

"Just because you guys share blood between you that doesn't mean their your family anyone can be family only you can decide on who you consider your family by the bond you share with them" said Terry with a soft caring smile as he took of his hat and put it on Rock's head

What Terry didn't know that day was that Rock always see him and think of Terry as his real father not that he has to know that for his ego

"Now come on let's play some basketball loser has to buy the other hotdogs"said Terry

"Your on old man" said Rock with a cocky smile

"Old man?! oh ho now your gonna get it!" He said a challenging smile
And then they started to play basketball and that day was filled with laughter

-Flash back ends-

-Present day-

The surrounding area was only seen as buildings were destroyed people injured kids crying out for their parents

Rock looks around to see the destruction that has happened here, as his vision starts to fade in and out and blood flowing down one of his eyes blocking his vision for he was hit in the head with knows what

"ROCK!"yelled out two people as he turned around to see two people a male and female

"Are you ok can you stand?" Asked the boy worriedly giving him a hand to help pick him up

Rock looked to see that the boy seems to have a white headband blue and white sweater, with black gloves with a sun emblem, blue running pants and white running shoes

"Yeah I'm good, I'm good" he answering the boy that seems to bee the same age

"No your not your bleeding and you look like you are going to pass out any minute now" said the girl pointing out his injured state

"Don't worry I'm fine...uh" said Rock but doesn't know who this women

She looks at him shocked

"Rock you Don't remember me?" asked the woman questioning him if he forgot her she had

The boy looked shock that Rock possibly forgotten them

"Do you remember who I am Rock?" Asked the unknown boy

Rock shakes his head

"Oh" said the boy dejectedly

"In any case we should help evacuate the civilians to safety" she said and the other two agreed

"Well in any case my name Is Shingo Yabuki pleasure to meet you or re meet you Is that a thing?"

ReIntroduced himself and not wording it right but left to help out the other people

"Chizuru Kagura and I hope you regain your memories back Rock"she said and bandaged his head quickly enough to get the bleeding to stop

(

I don't own this)

As he tries to stand but tumbles down for he didn't have enough strength he sat down he wanted to help people to get to safety but couldn't ib the state he was in and decided to rest for a little bit and closed his eyes

As he woke up he was on a bed in what looked like a tent as he sat up a groan escaped his lips

" your finally awake" said a male voice as he turned to the direction to see a muscular long blond haired man with a brown jacket with a white t-shirt under it, black fingerless gloves, regular jeans, and boots

" ok do you need anything food, water?" said the man in a worried tone

"Yeah actually" said Rock

With the blond man ready if he needs anything

"Do... do I know you?"Asked Rock not knowing why this man feels so... familiar

The man's face held a hurt and sad smile but still nodded to the kids question and grabbed a chair facing the other way and sat on it and folded his arms

"But before I can answer I need to hear what you can possibly remember, but don't force yourself if you don't got anything" asked the man and reassuring him to try to take it easy to not worsen is state

As Rock tries to remember anything the only memory that can come up is the dream he had (the flashback in the beginning) before regain his consciences and trying to remember more gives him a killer headache feeling like his head would split in 2 But when he stopped and told the man what he can remember but the face of the person was blurred out

But the man smiled and reached inside his jacket and took out a couple of pictures

As Rock took and sees these pictures that tell about his life one when he was a kid and what terry looked like teen at the time both of them seem to be playing basket ball and him loosing

the next one was when Terry and Rock were infront of a grave and it looked like he was being introduced and alook of nervousness was on his young features

The next one when on the screen it said K.O and young Rock was hitting Terry in the back looking annoyed with terry just laughing at the kids actions

the next picture was when he was being taght by another blond guy about math with him sleeping on the tableon a book

the next one he looked slightly younger 15 maybe and they were smiling at the camera with a peace sign while wears his baseball cap

He started to tear up because he doesn't remember any of these yet he looks so happy when this man was there every step of the way in his life yet he doesn't remember and he wants those memories back but before he goes down a spiral he was flicked on the forehead HARD

"Gah what the hell old man!" Rock yelled in annoyance at the man

With the man laughing at the boys reaction when he did that as he looked at him with caring eyes and thought

'Still same old Rock even if he forgot most of his memories he still reacts the same way' thought the man smiling

"Well Since you answered my question it's fair to answer yours right?, well kid"

"I'm 17"

"My name is Terry Bogard and I am your Guardian/adoptive father" said Terry while pretending that he wasn't interrupted

Which made Rock have a tick mark on his head and caused Terry to laugh more and then Rock joined in the laughter he didn't know why but it felt right to laugh

-Timeskip-

Rock was good enough to be able to walk but was told to not push himself to much for may be in a better state but he shouldn't try any fighting or exercise to heal properly and was taken to another tent where it looks to be the main one since it's bigger

As he walks in they see a tall man with an eyepatch and in a type of military uniform

"Commander Heidern sir he's here" said one of the soldiers

"Ah yes dat is kood go help ze rest of ze civilians" said the Commander as the soldier saluted and went to go help others

(Poleish accent don't know why but he just gives me that vibe)

"It's koot to see you are doink well Mr Rock I eard your avink trouble regainink your memories I do hope you regain dem in dew time but now we need your help to stop the possible destruction of both all eastern and all European nations" said Commander Heidern with a serious tone

"What why me I'm just some regular guy" said Rock in confusion why he needs his help specifically

"Well not you exactly we need bod your blood ant boty" he said bluntly

"Wha?" He replied confused on what he means

"Let me explain for wen de platoon and the rest of the squadron was able to infiltrate the base of operations on where de violent eartquake was comink from and it seems de starting point is from" the Commander paused and was typing on the key pad as a holographic image appeared of a building

"RKain industries" he said as both Rock and Terry look at it In bewilderment on why the industry would do this but Terry had a theory on why this would happen but his eyes went to Rock worried about him since it involves him

"We were able to locate the root point for were anomalies are startink we tried to look for any entry points around de whole building"

"Then you found something right?" Terry asked

With the Commander noding his head

As the image zooms in at the top of the tower and shows a secret elevator shaft behind the wall

"We were able to find a secret elevator shaft going under the tower wat is under tere however I do not know but it must be extremely dangerous for it to cause this much of a catastrophic effect in this scale" he said as the hologram zoomed in more and showed there were scanners to the left and right side of the elevator entrance

"There were scanners besides the door so we tried to open it up with brute force with explosives but to no avail and not even a scratch den tried to melt de elevator door it still yieldink the same results den tried prying it forcefully open and still nothing then tried hacking the scanners"

"Wait why didn't you do the hacking thing first?" asked Rock

"Actually dey were hacking de main computer at de same time dey were doing te oder options as well and that is how we got this information that were deep witin cryptic files and heavily coded fire walls ment to protect such vital information and deirs still more being discovered as we speak but the important part is dat de intriguing ting dat we will be focusing on it's dat de the scanners are unique and very complex" said the Commander relaying this information to them

"How so?" asked both Rock and Terry at the same time getting intrigued by this

"It says dat de scanners on de left are meant for does being blood related wit what looks to be a special type of frequency that the body makes that your family let's out that where you come in" he said as he looked at Rock with him noding

"And de one's on de right use de same principle but be it alterd more for it to change to people wit de same frequency all be it using some sort of unknown energy" he said as but before he could continue they were hearing arguing outside the tent

"No you are not authorized to be going inside the tent otherwise I will have to arrest you for trespassing" said the the soldier guarding the entrance to the tent

"What is going on here" said Heidern calmly

The soldier then turned around

"Sir!" He saluted

"these two civilians are not leaving the premises for they say that would be of great help for what, I don't know"

"It is true I saw a vision that if we don't help things could get worse" said the women with a young man in blue behind her looking little nervous but speaks anyway

"Its true what Kagura-san says is true her visions are never wrong if something really bad things are likely to happen then we will help to change such a thing" said the even though a little scared he meant what he said

"Is dat so well den you come wit me you, leave" said Heidern said as he pointed to Chizuru to follow him and for Shingo to leave

"No" was heard from Chizuruin a calm manner

"Excuse me?" Asked Heidern

"No" repeated Chizuru

"And may I ask why dat's so?" Asked the Commander with an unreadable expression

"Because he will have an integral part for the better outcome" she simply said

"Is that so?" As he looks at Shingo

Shingo had an awkward smile on his face and awkwardly wave at the man

Then the man turned to her

"Do you trust him?" he asked

"With my life" she said but there was a hint of confidence in that response

As the Commander continues to stare at Shingo making him uncomfortable as he stands straighter feeling uncomfortable in the situation

"Very well den we meet de next day at 4am oh and shingo please meet me at de training grounds in 1hour, will show you de way there good bye" as he left

Then the two turn to see a familiar face

"Rock!" As Shingo yelled
