Street Fighter Power Through Chinese Fist
Mila screams as she was thrown away by the karate move of Hitomi with a classic shoulder throw as she poses herself in another karate stance, she waits patiently as her opponent gets back up and shook her head to get back her focus.
"Come on, the match isn't over!" Hitomi hand gestured to Mila to come to her.
"Yeah, I'm not done yet!" Mila shouted and charges at her opponent again.
The two clash their fists again though Hitomi was able to move in closer with a swift movement and a clenched fist, she then threw one strong uppercut that hit the mark dead on that send Mila flying back a few feet and land hard on the floor.
"Oh, does this look like what I think it is?" Zack looked to see if Mila is getting back up.
But Mila doesn't appear to be moving at the moment as that last attack must've really knocked her out.
"Okay, everyone! We have our first winner of the first round, Hitomi!" Zack announced.
"Yes! I won! And I'm only getting stronger!" Hitomi cheered that she won her first fight in the tournament.
"She did good, Hitomi has really been pushing yourself in that fight." Ao commented.
"Mila's training really paid off to get herself to last this long against a more experienced fighter like her even though they're around the same age." Shadow nodded.
"I bet Hayate would be proud to see Hitomi after that fight." Ao smiled.
"Does he have a crush on her or something?" Shadow joked with a chuckle.
"Oh, you." Ao giggled with a light punch on the arm.
"But honestly, I think those two would be great together. After all, Hitomi was the one who took care of him when Hayate lost his memories and never knew his own name and stood by him ever step of the way." Ao explained about those two's history.
"Maybe we can try bringing those two together." Shadow suggested.
"That would be nice, but I'm not sure if the head is allow to be engage in doing romantic stuff like being with an outsider." Ao concerned.
"But he's the head of the clan. Can't he just make the rule himself and make it official?" Shadow asked.
"I think he can, but even if he wanted to… I don't think Hayata would want to bring Hitomi into his life." Ao shook her head.
"Why not?" Shadow asked again.
"It's because he's born a ninja, leader of a strong ninja clan that is dedicated to protect the world from all that would threaten it and would go into battle without hesitation even if that battle were to be our last." Ao explained.
"Like battling against MIST." Shadow figured that part out.
"Yes, dangerous people like MIST and its leader will be anything to get what they want no matter what. From what I can tell, Hayate wants to keep Hitomi safe and away from any danger that follows the clan." Ao stated.
"Bet it was hard for her to go when his memories return." Shadow crossed his arms.
"I wasn't there when the two said their goodbyes, but I think it was though Hitomi accepted Hayate and will always cherish the time they had together. She believes that one day, they will be together again." Ao said, smiling for Hitomi.
"But until MIST is dealt with, Hayate's battle is not done." Ao said with a firm look.
"I guess that's fair." Shadow sighed.
Ao can tell that Shadow doesn't exactly approve of Hayate keeping his distance from someone who is in love with him and hope they could be together; she feels that way too but there is still the danger of MIST and Donovan out there piloting their next evil plan to rule the world involves hurting a lot of good people like Hitomi and others she met.
Ao knows that deep down that once Donovan is defeated and MIST is destroyed, then things may settle down for Hayate and Hitomi though not sure if Hayate would want a relationship with her.
"Looks like they're about to announce the next fighters." Shadow said, snapping Ao from her thoughts.
"Oh, yes. We should continue watching together." Ao nodded.
Ao decided to not worry about the future at the moment. Right here, right now, she wants to savor it with Shadow by her side which will give her the motivation to hunt down Alpha-152 to put an end to that clone once and for all.
"Alright, time for the next fight!" Zack shouted with excitement.
(Secret MIST Lab)
The screen shows one image of Shadow with his back and the right side of his face looking up toward the sky, then another image of Shadow is shown to be running at his superspeed, then two more images of Shadow showed up, then a dozen more pictures of Shadow showed up.
"Hmm, it would seem Shadow is still powerful as ever. Perhaps a bit more if he had done some martial art training with DOTAC." A shadowy man said looking at the giant screen.
"You certainly did a fine work on creating the boy, Doctor Robotnik. You have indeed created a powerful weapon, but you corrupted him with naïve nonsense such as kindness and family and love." The shadowy man glared.
"Not only that, but he left me no choice but to shut down the protect and put him in an eternal sleep. However, that did not last long when Helen sends that ninja girl and free him." The shadowy man recalled how that lab was alarmed to him.
"Although, it's good that you've woken up Shadow because now you can help me with my ultimate project." The shadowy man smirked.
Then a phone rang on the shadowy man's desk, and he answer it.
"Yes?" The shadowy man asked, wondering what this could be now.
"Sir, our assassin called. She said that your son is on the line wishing to speak with you." A man informed.
"Ah, must be curious about the plan. Patch him through." The shadowy man ordered.
"Yes, sir, Mr. Donovan."
The scene brightened a little bit to show the man now reveal to be Donovan.
Victor Donovan wears a white pinstripe suit and has blonde hair that seems to be slicked completely back. His facial features are entirely unknown as he is seen wearing a black mask with red eyes in all of his appearances.
"Yes, son?" Donovan asked.
"Hey dad, sorry to bother you when you were in the middle of looking at your big evil plan." The Son greeted.
"You know, I always have time for you, my son. And you calling me now must mean something about important like the plan." Donovan said.
"Right on the money. It's about that Shadow guy, your former lab rat. He's at the tournament watching over the fights and it looks like he hooked himself up with a special woman." The Son informed.
"Oh, and which woman would that be?" Donovan asked.
"That ninja girl in blue, the one who's been a big pain in the ass for us. Kasumi." The Son answered.
Now this definitely has Donovan's full attention as he did not expect to be hearing about that foolish ninja girl, the one who has been trying to stop his plans for some time and trying to find some leads about him only to come up with nothing.
But this suddenly struck the boss of MIST, could Shadow have already told DOTAC about his previous plan for the ultimate weapon to conquer the world.
"(But then again, Shadow doesn't really know much about my other operations since it was only one and only his grandfather knew about the other one. I doubt he managed to tell Shadow about it.)" Donovan thought smirked under his mask.
"Not to worry, my son. Shadow doesn't know about our other plans." Donovan said.
"Then we shouldn't worry about Kasumi then?" The Son asked.
"Yes, but keep an eye on both of them. I don't want them to stumble onto something that could lead to me." Donovan ordered.
"Sure thing, dad. But seriously, can you have the guys do something better for me than wiping my mind every time our private talk is done?" The Son asked.
"It's call being cautious. You'll understand someday." Donovan said before hanging up the call.
"Oh Shadow, if only you know the big plan I have for the world." Donovan chuckled evilly and look at the images of Shadow again.
(Dead or Alive Tournament)
"Wow! Now that's what I call a fight with the girls going all out in the most amazing way possible!" Zack smiled.
"I hope those girls are watching this because the next match is gonna be crazy!" Zack stated.
"In this corner! We have a new addition to the world of fighting! This guy is a street brawler who is the toughest one in his streets and beats up anyone who doesn't play nice with others and may have a soft spot for his mom." Zack teased a little on that last part.
"He's gonna get punch for that one." Shadow sighed.
"Give it up for the man who is about to make himself known to the world… Diego!" Zack shouted.
Diego comes onto the fighting ring hearing the crowd cheer his name even though he didn't want to leave his mom's side since she's sick, but she told him to follow his own path and to go after his future to become a strong fighter.
"(I'm here, and I'm going to win this. For my mom. And for my myself!)" Diego thought determined.
"Isn't he one of the fighters you invited for the tournament?" Ao asked.
"Yeah, it was kind of hard to convince him to come. But had a change of heart when his mom told him to go for it." Shadow explained.
"He must really care about his mom to listen to her." Ao smiled.
"He does, but he doesn't like to show his soft spot out in the open." Shadow mentioned.
"And for his opponent! He comes all the way from Chinese, the land where humanity develop the first martial art style of combat, this kid is a prodigy with the willpower to push himself through the limits despite slightly looking like a girl." Zack chuckled a little on that last part.
"Put your hands together for Eliot!" Zack announced.
"Did he have to say that last part?" Eliot asked sighing.
Eliot is a young man with short blonde and clear blue eyes. He wears a blue shirt with red, white, and black stripes and pins, a pair of off-white pants, kung fu shoes, a pair of gloves, armguards with red ribbon, and a sash around his waist.
"Oh, I seem to recognize him." Ao said, memories from the original Kasumi though still doesn't know about herself yet.
"Another fighter you met?" Shadow asked.
"Yes, he is a strong fighter in the arts of Chinese martial arts. There was also something else about him always showing his skills to Ayane." Ao mentioned.
"(Sounds like that guy has a crush on her. Sorry man, but Ayane is gonna be my woman.)" Shadow thought grinned.
Eliot let out a sneeze, but he doesn't have a cold nor feel off at all.
"So, this is your first time here?" Eliot asked his opponent.
"Yeah, a guy told me to come, to test myself on other strong fighters. And you do look strong." Diego answered.
"Wait until you feel my fist to your face!" Eliot said, ready himself in his stance.
"Alright, show me what you got." Diego rolled his shoulders and pounded his fists together before getting into his own stance.
(Music: Awake and Alive, Skillet)
Diego and Eliot stare at each other for the next ten seconds and the former made the first move charging forward for a punch to the face.
"(Nice try.)" Eliot thought grinned, seeing what he's gonna do.
Eliot caught Diego's fist with his hand to move it to the side for the Chinese fighter to throw a palm strike on the stomach followed by a few rapid punches making him stumble back.
"(Whoa! That hurt, this kid is strong!)" Diego thought surprised, feeling the strikes on his body.
"But… Not as strong as Shadow." Diego smirked, but this guy won't be a problem to him.
Diego goes in again to strike him with his arm only for Eliot to stop him with both hands acting like a defensive wall, but that didn't' stop Diego as he kept going and pushes Eliot back with more strength and threw an uppercut then a swing kick to knock him to the right.
"Oh yeah!" Diego shouted.
"Impressive, you got strength even though you lack skills." Eliot commented as he gets back up.
"I got plenty more where that came from!" Diego said.
"Funny, I was going to say the same." Eliot chuckled.
Eliot and Diego charge towards each other for another clash with the latter throwing a strong punch while the blonde guy thrust his palm forward to clash with that punch, the collusion between the two causes them to be in a power struggle.
"Come on. Come on!" Diego growled as he pushes forward, overpowering Eliot's strength.
Eliot quickly moves out of the way letting the punch hit the air and made a quick jump for a kick across the face, he goes in throwing some more punches with his fingers and fists.
"Oh! Looks like Eliot has Diego in his grasp! Can the street fighter break free from this comb?" Zack shocked.
Eliot keeps on the pressure hoping to push Diego towards the edge of the ring and then knocks him out of it with a powerful blow, just needs to wait for the right moment.
However, Diego would not allow this guy to get the chance as the only thing he can do is throw his head forward that clashes with Eliot's fist and the two force away from each other.
"Ow! What the fuck is your head made of?" Eliot asked, wincing in pain from his hand.
"You're about to feel a lot worse than that!" Diego charged at his opponent, not going to give him a moment to rest as he punches him in the face.
Diego gets closer throwing some more of his strong punches forcing the Chinese boy on the defense though it's clear to everyone that it won't last long, Eliot can feel every hit being so strong and heavy like he's being hit by two wrecking balls.
"(This guy is so strong! I have to get away and center myself!)" Eliot thought groaned.
Diego broke through the defense and threw a punch in the stomach followed by a knee-kick and use that same leg to kick Eliot, but he doesn't let up as he grabs him by the shoulder to punch him in the stomach then throws a headbutt knocking the blonde kid down.
"Don't think you got me!" Eliot refused to give up that easily.
Eliot flips himself forward with a double flying kick to the chest pushing him back perform a backflip to land on his feet.
Eliot dashes at Diego for a high spin kick and throws in a few kicks, he goes in for a hand strike only for that hand to be grabbed by his opponent and pulls him in for a punch on the chest then striking him some more.
Eliot managed to break free by swinging his arms around to parry away the heavy punches and palm strike on the chin and shoulder-body strike to push him back.
"So strong…" Diego panted.
"That's what training gets you. Best to give up now, you don't have the skills to defeat me!" Eliot pointed out.
"Diego doesn't give up that easy. No matter how many times he's been beaten down, he'll always get back up with stronger power in his fists." Shadow remembered how the fight was between himself and Diego when they first met.
"I may not have any fancy moves like you, but I don't give a fuck… Because I got my own strength and the determination to power through anything!" Diego roared before charging at Eliot with his fist tightened.
"Alright, you ask for this!" Eliot readied himself for a second and charges at his opponent.
Both fighters knew that the next blow would be the end of this fight, the winner would move on to the next round.
Diego and Eliot threw their fists at the same time at each other, hitting each other at the same time too which may look like it could be a tie except Diego doesn't intend in ending the fight here as he powers forward and pushes his fist harder on Eliot's face to send him flying and crash down onto the floor.
"I-Impressive…" Eliot said before he fell into unconsciousness.
(Music End)
"It's over! The winner of the third match is Diego!" Zack shouted with the crowd cheering loudly for the street fighter.
Diego looks down at his unconscious and around seeing the crowd with all those sounds of cheering enter his ears, he is now making his way to becoming a stronger fighter and everybody in the world is going to see it.
Diego raises his fist towards one direction by instincts, and that direction is right at Shadow who smiles at the street fighter.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Damn! That fight was intense for Diego in his first world fighting tournament with Eliot being able to put up a great fight, and now the street fighter of New York is going keep fighting on until he wins the whole thing just as the other fighters do.
