Champion of Dead or Alive Rises Up
The scene of the girls' bathroom and one girl named Sticks has just come out after having to go through some big going in the toilet.
"Oh boy, ouch! Why did I talk myself into eating seven chili dogs that also had some spicy sauce on them which was on the very HIGH level!" Sticks groaned a bit and quickly washed her hands.
"But even so, I managed to get myself $100 dollars off the guy who thought I would be able to stomach it that I totally did! …For about 25 minutes later." Sticks bragged.
"Still worth it!" Sticks smirked after finished washing her hands.
Sticks exit the bathroom and was about to head back to the two older girls, but then she notices one little girl is looking scared while clenching onto her stuffy into her arms and onto her chest as she looks around like she is trying to find someone.
"Uh-oh, looks like someone is in trouble." Sticks said.
Sticks look at the time on her phone to see that she still had time before the next round of the tournament starts.
"Mommy! Mommy, where are you?" The little girl called out.
"Hey there, squirt! Are you okay?" Sticks asked, getting the little girl's attention.
"I can't find my mommy; we were going back to our seats but then a lot of people came in and we were trying to get through only I found myself here and my mommy is gone." The little girl explained.
"Sounds to me like you and your mom just went through the rush of the crowd, and I thought that only happens a lot in the big cities." Sticks said.
"Did your mommy say anything about where to go before you two got separated?" Sticks asked.
"Yes, my mommy said to go find our seats and she'll be there, but…" The little girl sobbed.
"Let me guess, you forgot where you and your mommy sit?" Sticks asked, figuring that out already.
"Everything was happening so fast, and I got dizzy from all that spinning." The little girl explained.
"Well, do you still have your ticket? That can help where your seat number is." Sticks mentioned the ticket.
"Oh, I do!" The little girl reached into her shirt pocket and showed her the ticket.
"That's a good girl, always keep this with you for just an emergency like this." Sticks smiled.
"Now, let see what we got here." Sticks looked at the ticket for the seating number and her eyes widen.
"Well, I'll be damn!" Sticks smiled.
"Swear!" The little girl called out him.
"Sorry, but I found the number it's actually pretty close to where me and my sister and her friend are sitting which means we'll be able to find her!" Sticks informed.
"Really?" The little girl asked surprise.
"That's right, now how about we get you to your mommy." Sticks offered her hand of friendship to the little girl.
"Okay." The little girl nodded, taking the older girl's hand seeing that she is not a bad person.
"By the way, my name is Sticks." Sticks introduced herself.
"My name is Cream, and this is my best friend, Cheese." Cream revealed herself and her stuffy.
Cream is a 6-year-old girl with cream-colored hair that has a Princeton orange marking on top, and cinnamon-brown eyes. She wears a simple sleeveless vermilion dress with a white collar and a light blue cravat, white socks, and vermilion and yellow slip-on shoes with gray soles. Her ears also have pink-colored canals and are usually swiveled back and flop behind her head.
She stuffy named Cheese has light lapis blue and have light honey mustard yellow markings at the tip of their head, hands, feet and tail, a bulb-shaped head, lapis blue eyes, a floating light honey mustard yellow ball hovering above the top of their head that changes appearance corresponding to their emotions, two light fuchsia, magenta pink butterfly-like wings and a small circular tail. It also has a cherry red bow tie.
"Nice, it's always good to introduce yourself and not try going for a fake name… Unlike what happened to Manfredi and Johnson." Sticks sighed.
"Did they have trust issue?" Cream asked curiously.
"They were doing a prank phone call to a random person, only for that prank to backfire and they came back in full body cast with lots of angry face stickers and the awful months of smell for being left behind on Staten Island." Sticks explained about the two guys she knew.
"Staten Island! But that's the smelly island with the skunks!" Cream shocked.
"Oh yeah, they had to take a whole YEAR of tomato bath." Sticks mentioned., still remembering the smell they went through.
(With Shadow and his Girlfriends)
"Oh wow, this tournament has certainly been getting better and better with each fight and everyone has been doing so well!" Ao complimented.
"Indeed, I feel more excited that I want to watch the fight that I want to jump in and join the fight myself!" Helena smiled, she always enjoyed how the tournament would go back to it used to be a thing before it was close for a while.
"And now we are on our way to the final round, time to see which of our final two fighters will become this Dead or Alive's grand champion." Shadow said.
"I wonder how this battle will turn out?" Ao asked.
"One thing I know for sure is that it's going to be one intense fight." Shadow nodded as he looks down from the special booth seat.
Shadow has always known that Diego is very strong in his own rights and even felt that very strength when they fought for the first time, and he can tell that Diego has been getting stronger since then and now all that training has gotten him into the final round of the tournament.
"I'm also curious to see how Diego will fair against Jann Lee." Shadow said.
"There has been rumors that he is the direct descendant of the great martial art master, Bruce Lee." Helena mentioned.
"Is that true?" Shadow asked.
"No one knows for sure; some have been trying to ask Jann about his relation to the man, but he just told them to leave him alone." Helena shrugged.
"How you try talking to him yourself?" Shadow asked his second lover.
"I did at one point; he didn't say exactly that he was related to Burce Lee or not. But he said that the man inspired him to take up marital arts and even trained in Bruce Lee's fighting style to make it his own, he still respects the man to this day." Helena explained.
"I guess that's about good as any answer then having nothing at all." Shadow commented.
"(Now, let see how you'll survive when you're up against a well-trained martial artist.)" Shadow thought hoped for Diego to do well in this fight.
Zack jumps onto the stage and walks up at the center of the stage; he looks around to see how everyone in their seats and the other fighters who lost in their matches are also looking excited to see the final match and the two fighters.
"Alright, is everybody ready?" Zack asked and the crowd started cheering loudly, but he thinks that isn't right.
"Oh, come on, I know you guys can do better than that. Now let me ask again, is everybody READY!" Zack repeated the same question a little louder with excitement as he held his microphone up.
This time, the crowd screams the loudest they can together with their fists in the air and all of them standing up from their seats to give off more of their cheering.
"Alright, good!" Zack nodded of approval.
"Wow, the people are really getting into it." Marie commentd.
"Yeah, it's making me feel more excited to get this fight started!" Rei smirked.
"Oh, where is she?" A woman looked around worry than paying attention to the match.
"Hey, are you okay, lady?" Rei asked, noticing the woman look very worried.
"Oh, my name is Vanilla and I'm worried about my daughter not being here by now. I think she might be lost." Vanilla explained.
Vanilla is a young and beautiful-looking woman who has cream-colored hair with a tuft of dark orange hair on her forehead, and brown eyes. She wears a long lavender dress with a white trim at the bottom of the puffy sleeves and the skirt, a burgundy-fitted vest with golden buttons, a blue or orange ascot, burgundy low-heeled shoes with yellow detail and gray soles, and pink lipstick. Breasts size: K-cup.
"I'm sure your daughter will turn up any second now." Marie hoped she's right.
"Mommy!" Cream called out, running up to her mom and jumps to hug her.
"Cream, my cute little bunny!" Vanilla smiled as she hugs back Cream.
"See, told you the seats were close together." Sticks smiled as she sat next to her older sister.
"Thank you so much for bringing me my little girl." Vanilla thanked.
"No problem, just looking out for the little guys." Sticks smiled.
"Now, it's time get this party started with our two final fighters!" Zack announced.
"In this corner, the man from the big apple who made this way to this very moment to show everyone that he has what it takes to become one of the strongest fighters in the world and he definitely has it! No matter how many times he was beaten down, he just keeps getting back up and somehow stronger than ever! Give a big cheer for Diego!" Zack introduced Diego.
"Come on, I'm ready!" Diego pounded his fists together.
"And in the other corner! He is a well-known and strong martial artist who dedicated his entire life to training and nothing else, to transcend the mortal realm into becoming a fighter with no equal and took inspiration from the once known Bruce Lee, almost like he is carrying on his legacy. Give it up for Jann Lee!" Zack announced.
"Talk is cheap, show me what you in the fight itself!" Jann glared and held one fist outward.
"Now, without any further delay… FIGHT!" Zack shouted as he hurried off the fighting stage.
(Music: Honest Eyes, Black Tides)
"I'm going to make you into the next meal for my fists!" Diego charged at Jann.
"You can try." Jann readied himself in a stance.
Diego threw the first punch of the match, which is caught by Jann's hand to hold back the mighty punch that almost slightly pushed him back half an inch, and he pushed his opponent back a few feet away.
"You have strength, I'll give you that, but you lack discipline." Jann commented.
"I was never one to do what I was told." Diego shrugged.
Diego charges in again to throw some punches only for Jann to block most of them with one arm and dodges a few of them, the martial artist perform a strong palm thrust attack on the chest pushing him back several feet before charging in to attack some more. Jann threw his own punches that Diego did not have time to put up his defense, he just takes in the hits for a moment.
"(Damn, they hurt like fucking Hell!)" Diego thought gritted his teeth.
Then he was able to grab onto Jann's leg that was used to kick him across the face much to his surprise, Diego pulls his opponent in closer with the force of his punch on the back and then tackles him down onto the ground.
"Let see if you can take this!" Diego shouted and threw one punch to the back of the head.
He repeats this a few times until Jann has had enough and threw a kick on the back of Diego's head making him stop and grabbing his head with both feet to throw him off.
"Okay, did not see that coming." Diego surprised.
"Expected the unexpected." Jann said.
Jann and Diego stare at each other for a second before charging at each other with their fist collided into a power clash.
They seem even at first until Diego starts to slowly push Jann back a little, but the martial artist wouldn't give in that easily, he pushes his fist forward and then they jump away from each other with Jann making a sprint towards his opponent.
"Oh wow, those two are really going at it!" Zack excitedly.
Jann threw in some rapid jabs which Diego was able to put up his defense this time though the punches still feel heavy, but his instincts were able to help him out by smacking one punch to the side and use that same arm to punch Jann right in the right.
Jann pauses for a moment to wipe the blood from his nose.
"Impressive, most impressive." Jann commented.
Diego took the change to attack back throwing his own strong punches that Jann blocks though Diego kicked one leg to make the martial artist go down on one knee and throws two punches, but Jann was able to parry them away and threw a kick to send him flying several feet.
Jann jumps high to throw down one foot for the face only for Diego to quickly roll out of the way for that foot to make contact with the fighting stage and shoulder tackle him in the chest.
Diego throws another punch across the face and a few more on the body until Jann counterattack with his own punches, the two started clashing their punches onto each other with Jann landing more hits on Diego though he is able to withstand those hits and power through.
"Wow, Diego is really handling himself against Jann than I thought." Shadow was impressed with how this battle is going.
"One would think that Diego would have a really hard time against Jann with his more advanced training." Ao surprised to see that Diego is really doing well.
"It would seem there is more to Diego than anyone could've imagined." Helena smiled.
"Yeah, Diego was able a strong fighter than any of us thought. Who knows how strong he could be is he had taken up actually combat training." Shadow smirked, feeling like he may have found himself a new friend and perhaps a rival.
Jann leaps toward Diego for the bicycle kicking in the chest followed by two punches that stun him for a second for Jann to throw one last punch in the head to knock him down.
"Oh! Oh! I think this is it, folks! I think we might have a winner here!" Zack exclaimed excitedly.
"(Me… Lose? No, I can't… I refuse!)" Diego thought angered, clenching his hand on the ground.
Jann turns his back on the downed Diego believing that this match is his to take, but his instincts alerted him that this fight is not over yet.
"He's not out of this yet." Shadow smirked.
"Whoa, I don't believe it, folks! Diego has gotten himself back up!" Zack shocked.
"I'm… not… DONE!" Diego screamed as his strength feels like it is growing stronger through his rage.
Diego charges at Jann who quickly turns around to throw a kick to the face, but that didn't seem to faze Diego as he pushes forward and throws a hard punch in the stomach making Jann gasp in pain. And Diego didn't stop there as he continues with his onslaught of fierce attacking combo that Jann can feel that they are stronger than before somehow.
"This fight… is mine!" Diego screamed as he punched Jann in the stomach.
Diego goes in to deliver one final attack on the guy, he threw one last punch in the face that knocks Jann down and knocked him out.
(Music End)
"No way! That just happened, ladies and gentlemen!" Zack screamed.
"And now this Dead or Alive has its champion, the one and only… Diego!" Zack announced while Diego lifts on fist in the air and the crowd starts cheering loudly for him.
"That fight was amazing!" Sticks smiled.
"I'm glad everyone was having fun!" Cream smiled as well.
"Wait, are you sure it's okay for Cream to even see fights like this?" Rei asked concern.
"Don't worry, Cream actually knows better than one may think for a little girl." Vanilla explained.
"Well done, Diego. You really showed yourself in this fight." Shadow clapped and smiled proudly for Diego to have become the champion of Dead or Alive.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
I know I skipped all the way to the final match of the tournament; I couldn't really think of how the other fights would as they would go just like in the game with the exception of Diego being there and winning the whole thing just like in Dead or Alive 6 which was probably my favorite part of the game.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
