Note: The Tsukino sisters (Emi and Keiko) and Athena will mainly handle the riffing for this chapter.

Chapter 14 - Wanderin' Destiny

Emi: Great, and the fire hazard laws have just been violated.

A crowd that easily exceeds 80,000 swarmed in the bleachers, stands, hallway, and the lobby. The large dome, usually hosting baseball games and concerts, boiled with excitement.

Athena: ...this author really needs to stop with that purple prose.

An enormous stage was built at the center of the field, with eight specially constructed rings surrounding it. More than 100 TV cameras focused on this stage, with the crew running around them in every direction.
The artificial light that gleamed onto the chaos suddenly turned off at noon, exactly. The bustling from to the crowd unified in a deep stirred in the dark.
"The Fourth Phase is About to Begin....."

Keiko: Which belongs to the Sue. She owns every phase.

With the deep voice booming on the speakers, the crowd stood and roared. Spotlights of many colors flashed from the stage and raced over the churning body of people. A white spotlight beamed onto the center of the stage, and a familiar woman stepped into the light. Her long, black hair contrasted brilliantly with her white robe and her light complection. She raised her hand, and the crowd fell into an intent silence.
"Hello to every one around the world! We have reached the exciting season of the King of Fighters again. I am Chizuru Kagura, chairman of this tournament.

Athena: And there's another canon error. She sponsored the '96 tournament, but she didn't sponsor the '97 tournament. Satella News Network was broadcasting it.
Emi: I guess we should've mentioned that earlier, but we were a bit too distracted by Pod Master Kyo's idiocy and the drama fest.

This is the fourth of this tournament, where warriors from around the globe forms a team of three and battle it out to determine the stongest in the world. This year we have 63 teams of three and 1 solo entry, a total of 190 fighters in 64 entries participating in this tournament."

Keiko: It should've been two solo entries, but Suethors and Stuthors like to leave certain things out or add useless things in to benefit their terrible characters.

Four white spotlights beamed onto the four enterances of the field, where the fighters began to pour out of. The dome shook again in excitement as the crowds cheered furiously. Kira surveyed the mass of people from the fields, and gave out a nervous sigh.

"...I feel like being in a circus or something...."

Emi: And here, our Sue of the day is pretending to be humble. We all know that she's going to run anyone and everyone over with her powers.

"I agree. Such a vulgar tournament, this is...."
Fubuki followed into the light, brushing his hair from his violet eyes.

Keiko: This is odd coming from me, but Fubuki is one incredibly bland character. He has the personality of a dust mite.
Athena: Keiko, that's mean!
Keiko: Okay, I'm sorry, dust mites. I did not mean to insult you all.

Raiya obviously had a different opinion, which gleamed on his face as a smile.
"Heh, I'm ready for this, though!"

Emi: I'm convinced that Raiya was Manic before there even was a Manic.

Despite the excitement that was again boiling in the dome, Chizuru calmly continued her speech.
"Today will be the preliminary rounds of the tournament. We have installed eight rings for this purpose here at Tokyo Dome, where one from each team will fight against each other. The team who defeats all three fighters of the opposing team wins and moves to the next round. And the teams that win today will be fighting at arenas in other countries, all over the world, from the next round."

"Kagura san said that there's gonna be a special dinner party for the victors of today's matches."
Shingo's eyes widened at the extra detail provided by Hotaru.
"Wow! This tournament gets more money each year, it seems!"
Ruka cracked his knuckles with a triumphant smirk.
"Party, eh? Then we can't lose!"

Athena: I am not going to be surprised if the Sue wins. This sounds like a set up for another soap opera scene.

"Today will mainly be matches between seed fighters with invitations to this tournament by the committee and fighters who earned their entry through the 'auditions' held in 30 countries. The major highlights of each match will be shown on the big screen behind me for easier viewing. And so, let us begin the King of Fighters 97!!"

RAAaaaah!!

Emi: Sounds more like people being sacrificed instead of people cheering. Yeesh.

"Hm, seems like we're the last to fight today. What do you want to do now, Kira?"

Keiko: *as Kira* I want to warp you out of character again.

"Well, we can go see those people you guy's checked on as out targets..."
"Hey, Kira!"
Kira nervously cut her line short, hearing the familiar voice.
"Hi, Mr. Defending Champion!"
"I still can't beleive you've entered this tournament!"
Kyo exclaimed as he approached the trio. Benimaru was close behind, waving affectionately at the girl (as he does to any girl, that is).

Kyo K.: Yeah, no kiddin'. Beni, why're you flirting with that Silver Fox woman?
Benimaru: Because we're kindred spirits. Also, I can't disappoint one of my lovely fans.
Kyo K.: *scoffs* Of course.

"Hey, Kira chan, long time no see!"
" 'ts up, Beni!"
Raiya slapped Benimaru on the shoulder. Kira returned Benimaru's greeting with a smile, and faced Kyo.
"Our match is the last today, so we were thinking of looking around at other people's matches to get a feel of what kinda people we're up against."

Athena: Don't panic, they win, too. This... really shouldn't be a surprise.

"That's a good idea."
Fubuki scratched his head as he looked around.
"But with eight fights going around simultaniously, it's gonna be hard to watch every fight...Why don't we go around separately."
"What a good idea!" Benimaru exclaimed, knodding in agreement. 'So, shall we go, Kira chan?"
Both Kyo and Fubuki glared at Beni, who was already walking off, holding Kira by the shoulder.
"HEY!!"

Emi: Well, that is Nikaido-san for you. He'd flirt with any woman, so I won't hold it against the Sue this time.

"Game over! Winner is Athena Asamiya! Asamiya, Sie Kensou, and Chin Gentsai will move to Round 2!"
"Yatta (yes)! The first group in!"
Athena jumped into her usual winning pose. Chin smiled in content.
"Hm, she has done well."
"That's my Athena!"
Kensou yelled enthusiastically.
"A~thena cha~~n!!"
A deep roar bellowed from the spectators, presumably the members of the Athena Asamiya fan club. Kensou glared back at the origin of the cheers.
"Tch! Athena's not an idol for you lifeless morons, you know!"

Athena: Uh... Kensou's not that overprotective. He's also not that rude.

"Ho, don't get upset, Sie. Athena knows well that she deserves to be a state beyond the idol to satisfy the libido (desires) of young men."
"Hmph, make that far beyond, master!"

Keiko: ...did that translate into "Athena's a man eating succubus"?
Emi: Uh... oh, this wording's incredibly poor.

"Yo, Kensou. You all seem to be hyped up for battle, don't you?"
"Ah, Kusanagi han and Kira han! He he, this year, we'll beat you!"
Kensou raised his fist in confidence. Kyo shook his head and laughed.
"Hey, I recognize that line. You said that to me last year too!"
Athena jumed in excitement in the ring hearing the familiar voice.
"Kyo kun! Did you come over to cheer me!?"
"Not exactly."
She leaned over the ropes to greet her classmate, but Athena soon froze at the figure standing next to him. That pesky girl!

Athena: That pesky girl and her little lapdog, too! *dramatically shakes a fist*

Athena stared down at Kira long and hard and flung her finger towards her and announced loudly.
"Watashi tachi wa makenai wa (We won't lose to you)!!"
The crowd roard at the new rivalry, which Kira could only shrug at.

Emi: *mumbles* You two-faced jerkass.

"........Kyo, I think I now understand how you feel towards Iori...."
"Tiring, isn't it?"

Kyo L.: *angry* Oh, you two assclowns can go fuck yourselves! Athena doesn't want to kill the Sue like Iori wants to kill Kyo!
Keiko: ...I wish I could decapitate that pod person and that two-faced troglodyte who calls herself "Kira".
Athena: ...which circle of Hell am I in again?
Emi: All of them. *sighs* Also, Suethor, way to be classless yet again. Bashing Athena and turning Pod Master Kyo into your mouthpiece to try to make your horrid Mary Sue look better in comparison. It doesn't fly with us, so cut it out!
Kyo K.: I really need to figure out a way to burn those two up.
Amy: Okay, that tears it! *brings out her Piko Piko Hammer* I'm sick and tired of this Athena bashing, I'm sick and tired of these stupid mouthpieces, and I'm about to Apple 1984 the heck out of this screen! Time to give you two idiots the concussions that you rightfully deserve! It's Hammerti--!
Sonic, Sonia, Manic: *tackles Amy*
Sonia: Amy, no! You know that you can't break the screen! Do you want Jayleen to make you foot the bill?
Manic: And do you know how much black market stuff that I'll have to sell to pay off that bill?
Sonic: You said that you stopped doing that, Manic!
Manic: I also said that I stopped stealing, but I don't think that went over too well.
Axl: Okay, I've had enough of this crap my own self. *gets up, takes Amy's hammer, freezes it* Excuse me, this'll only take a moment. *promptly whacks Kyo and Kira with it* You two pricks can screw the hell off. *returns the hammer to Amy* Your hammer will thaw out in a bit, so don't worry.
Amy: Oh. Um, thank you.
Axl: No problem. *sits back down*

"We will now begin the fight between Iori Yagami against Seroth, Bakken, and Val!"
The spectators cheered again at the appearence of a familiar fighter. Surely, the fans are expecting the skilled red-headed Iori to match up with the defending champs to finish the rivalry with Kyo. And they knew he'll manage it even as a single entry!

Athena: So we really don't need to read the rest of this scene.

This, of course created great pressure to the opposing fighters as Val snarled nurvously.
"Tch! What a fool to enter alone in this battle arena!"
"Hmph, Ore ga kowai no ka (Are you scared of me)?"
Iori's confidence only added fuel to the opponents' rage.
" 'the HELL you're talking about, man!?"
Iori sighed at Bakken, who almost seemed overly eager to jump on him before the match began.
"This is a nuiance. Why don't all three of you come at me at once?"
"WHAT!?"
Seroth shook his head in disbelief.
"Us three at once? I guess he wants to die.....so be it!"
"Round 1....FIGHT!"

Emi: And Iori thrashes them. Next scene, please.
Keiko: This is incredibly tedious.
Athena: Well, he would fight everyone at once, so I'm not surprised at that.

"Andy, you moron! Are you sleeping up there or what!"
Joe shrieked to his teammate, irritant of his own position behind the ropes. Terry tipped his baseball cap up and smiled at his short tempered friend.
"Don't worry, Joe. Just let him play around for a minute. Andy said he wanted to try a new combo or something..."

Manic: I'm sorry, but every time I think about "a combo", I go right back to thinking about a certain sexist idiot.
Sonia: Oh, that sexist idiot.

Just that moment Andy tried to pull something off, but was blocked miserably by his opponent and was greeted with a painful counter.
"Argh! If you're gonna change the pace of your fighting, do it subtly, fool!"
"Shut up, bystander!"
Andy moaned under his breath. He felt the ting on the top of his tongue from the blood seeping from the fresh cut on his lips.

Keiko: Apparently, just writing "there was a cut on his lips" was not good enough.
Athena: Also, Andy's out of character. He's not snippy like that.

"ANDY~~!!"
"!?"
That familiar, high pitch yell.....Andy checked his speculations from the corner of his eyes catching a glimpse of the red robe of Mai.
"Feh, trying something new in the tournament? Such confidence in these veterans!"
Chizuru said as she folded her slender arms across her chest. Terry grinned at Mai, cheering his brother so frantically, and turned to King.
"Hey, and you three seem to have the leisure to be rooting for a different team! You're done with your match?"
King ran her fingers through her short golden hair and smirked.
"Yeah. It just excites me to crush men who underestimates us for being women, you know."

Emi: I can see Rush Limbaugh and Piers Morgan complaining about that right now.
Keiko: Oh, forget those nimrods, big sister.

"Andy~! Ganbatte~~(hold out)!"
Mai shouted even louder to make sure her voice reached her lover's ears. Andy raised his brows and chuckled a little at the sight, and wiped the blood from his lips.
"Sorry bud, but I guess playtime's over."
"!"
Terry turned his head at the sudden flash that ran across the ring.
"Zan ei ken!!"
"Game's Over! Winner is Andy Bogard! Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi and Terry Bogard moves to the next round!"

Akiko: Oh, come on! That's so boring!
Jayleen: What is going on here? I can't get a shred of entertainment from those shallow fight scenes!
Athena: Wow, this is a bit cliché. Words of encouragement easily enable him to win?
Emi: Doesn't that happen when your own fans cheer you on when you fight?
Athena: Oh, I guess that does make a lot of sense, then!
Keiko: Only if you don't forget the details.

"Yosha~!"
"Kyaa!!"
Both Joe and Mai hopped around in excitement. As Andy climbed down the stairs from the ring with a big sigh of releif, Joe ran to him and slammed his eager palm onto his back.
"Damn, don't make me worry so much like that man!"

"Hm, it seems to be an easy victory for everyone today. I just saw Kusanagi kun win."

Keiko: No, it's an easy victory for everyone who made the cut in the original game. This really shouldn't be a surprise.
Athena: Well, except for that one team who was a band of three. They were a big surprise that year.

The group turned around to find Yuri walking up to them, fiddling her long braid. King greeted her former teammate with a hug.
"Long time no see, Yuri! And how did you guys do?"
Yuri's face glittered with confidence as she flashed her trademark 'piece' sign.
"Chou! Yoyu~tchi! (Super piece of cake)"

Emi: So it was a trademark super piece of cake. Thanks, typos.

"Hey, good job, girl. Where's your brother?"
Yuri tried to escape Terry's hand that pat her head and messed up her hair, but with little success since his hand was enormous.

Keiko: Oh, so her tiny KOF XIII self is in this fic.

"Well, he and Robert went to call daddy about our victory."
"Leona, Ralf, and Clark just won too."
Kim added as he approached the group.
"Hey, Kim! Haven't seen you in a while!"
Terry greeted his friend with a pat on the back.
"You're entering with those two again?"
"Yes. I'm thinking of spending my time on them until they fully reform their attitude on life."
"My, Kim san, you have such patience! I bet that'll take you your whole life!"
Mai joked as she waved her fan, but to some, it didn't sound quite so funny....

Athena: I wonder why we have scenes devoted to the rest of the cast.
Keiko: Oh, you know. Eventually, the Mary Sue is going to possess them as well.
Athena: I shouldn't have high hopes for stuff like this, right?
Keiko: When you've been riffing as long as we have, you should always keep your standards dangerously low.

RAAaaaah!!!

Yuri gasped at the sudden roar from the crowd.
"Wh...what happened!?"
"Look!"
King exclaimed as she pointed at the large screen."

"Oh, shitsurei (excuse me)!"
Shermie sang as she playfully hopped in the ring. Before her lay a massive man, now unconscience and oozing on the ring floor like a pack of lard.

Emi: Okay, that's just disgusting. This is why purple prose barely works in stories!

"Game over! Yashiro Nanakase, Shermie, and Chris moves to the next Round!"
"Hm, that was too easy. She took all the fun part of the game!"
Yashiro mocked with a shrewd grin, resting on the edge of the ring.

"Holy...! That chick finished all three of them alone!"
Joe shouted as he shook his head in admiration. Terry shrugged at the screen.

Athena: See? They were a surprise that year. And, well, you all knew the other surprise that they had that year, too.

"This year's gonna be another hard battle to the top....!"

Keiko: Of course it will. The Sue will just run over all of you because she's "special".

"Yes!"
Ruka said as he swung his arm around.

Emi: And then he accidentally clocked himself. Be more careful, Ruka!

"Game over! Shingo Yabuki, Ruka, and Hotaru will move to the next round!!"
"Ha....ha.....kateta (I managed to win)...."
Shingo sighed as she rested his weary hands on his knee. The match was much more tiring than what he expected.

Keiko: And riffing this fanfic's taking a lot out of us.
Kyo K.: It could've been a lot worse, Tsukino.
Keiko: No kidding. This fic's still terrible, though.
Kyo K.: I'm not gonna argue with you on that fact there. Especially when I'm dealing with the me who's ten times dumber than my "Esaka Destiny" self.

"Good job, Shingo kun!"
Hotaru said as she got into the ring to help him walk, and he faintly smiled back at her. As she put his arm around her shoulder to support his weight, Hotaru noticed the commotion from the ring next to theirs.
"Ruka! Look at that ring! You favorite somebody's fighting!"
"Ho??"
Ruka blinked, and turned around.

"That was sad, you amateur!"
Yamazaki shrieked as he kicked his opponent, lying limp on the floor, and off the ring. The referee scurried to his side.
"Please get away from the downed fighter, sir! You'll be disqualified!"
"Tch, kudarene (pathetic)...."
With that, Yamazaki spat on the ring floor, and laughed frantically. His teammate, Blue Mary stood just outside of the ring, hiding her face in embarrassment.
"My god! What an unbelievable personality he has!"
Billy Kane, still feeling his spine tingle from watching Yamazaki fight, knodded in agreement.
"Hell yeah. I'm glad I'm not on his opposing side this time...."

Athena: Actually, I get a little worried every time he enters a tournament, but that's just me. Thank goodness that he only entered two tournaments so far.

"We will now begin the last fight of the day!"
The audience roared as the other fighters collected by the ring. Raiya leaned on the top rope and Fubuki rested his shoulder on a corner post, tapping his finger on his arm that was folded across his chest.
"Gome~~n (sorry)!!"
Kira exclaimed as she ran towards the ring, Kyo right behind her.

Emi: Following her like the loyal lapdog that he is.

The fighters silently opened a path for her.
"You're late, Kira!"
Fubuki yelled, but couldn't hide his relief from her because of the smile that creeped on his lips.

Keiko: *sighs* This fight is going to be incredibly dull. I can sense it.

"Oh, that girl's Kyo's friend we saw at the bar the other night. Right, King san?"
Mai said, pointing with her fan at the girl that was trying to catch her breath before climbing the stairs to the ring. King narrowed her eyes to see.

Athena: Sure. "Friend". Let's go with that little white lie there.

"Sorry!"
Kira repeated as she trotted to her teammates' side. Fubuki winked at her.
"Well, I knew it would happen anyway."

Athena: What is "it"?
Keiko: The Sue fully devouring Kusanagi's soul.
Emi: Yep.

"Okay, now if Raiya and Odeo enter the ring, please!"
"Heh, I'm first....let's rock!"
Raiya said as he popped his knuckles again.

Emi: Thank you, Mr. Incredible Hulk.

This 'Odeo' loomed over Raiya, but his incredible height wasn't exactly enough to wipe the cheerful smile off Raiya's face (that's been caked onto his face all day).

Keiko: We didn't need the parenthesis.

"Raiya, ganbare~!"
Kira cheered her teammate. Fubuki brushed his bangs from his face and smirked at her.
"Kira, you should know that there's nothing to worry about with him."
"Round 1......"
"To him, fighting is playing."
"FIGHT!!"

Athena: Can we fast forward this fanfic?

Ten minutes has already passed, and Odeo still hasn't made a hit despite the fact that Raiya was merely dodging the attacks.

Athena: Oh, never mind, I guess it did it for us!

Punches flew like bullets, but Raiya, still with that smile, evaded all of them with ease.

Egg Spiral and Black Crow members: *groans*
Rory: You guys really hate that "with ease" stuff, huh?
Jessie: *rubs her forehead* Yes...

Odeo, with far more moves, was already breathing heavily; his shoulders moving voilently as he gasped for air.
"You bastard!  Don't you have any guts to fight!!?"
"Don't you have the guts land an attack? Or do you want me to get more serious?"
Raiya laughed as he stepped from an elbow thrust.
"D....damn you!"
Odeo kicked voilently, but only slashed the barren air. Raiya ducked to dodge the attack, safely landing himself right under Odeo's open body.
"Well, then...."
Raiya clasped his hands together. Blue-white sparks flew from the hands as well as in his huge eyes. With the sparks pouring furiously from his hand, Raiya jumed up, whirling his body in a winding motion.
"SPIRAL FLARE!!"
"What!? Lightining!"
Benimaru gasped at the sparks of light so similar to his.

Emi: Wait, how can it be called "Spiral Flare" if lightning is coming out instead of fire?
Keiko: And why are you using logic in a fic that doesn't have any to begin with?
Emi: *shrugs* I don't know. Also, Nikaido-san wouldn't be shocked... pardon the pun.
Benimaru: You all know that his electricity pales in comparison to yours truly.

Raiya's bright hand jammed into Odeo's open jaw, sparks flying all over the ring. Odeo's body was hurled backwards from the impact and out of the ring.
"G...game over!  Winner is Raiya!"

Akiko: Another one-sided fight?! Lame! *boos*
Cassy: *cracks up*

The busy murmuring came not only from the audience but also from the crowd of fighters.
"Next, Fubuki and Roche, enter the ring, please!"
"Let's settle this one quickly."
Fubuki said in a low voice as he jumped over the five feet high ropes and into the ring.
"!"
Kyo looked up at the next fighters. Iori also focused on the ring from the outskirts of still bustling crowd of fighters. (Now,) they both thought, (Let me see what you've got, Fubuki....)
"Round 2, Fight!"

Athena: Um, will this fic fast forward the fight for us?
Emi: Most likely.

GGGGGGGaa!!

Just as the gong was struck, Fubuki plummeled his opponent with a rain of punches. Shingo widen his eyes to almost a full circle in shock.
"Damn, that's fast!!"
"Of, course," Ruka said triumphantly, "Fubuki san's our leader!"
"It's nothing for you to be bold about, Ruka...."
Hotaru added.

Unable to stay on his feet any longer, Roche broke down onto his knees.
"It's not over yet. Get up."

Keiko: *flatly* How thrilling.
Tomoko: Jesus Christ, this is boring as hell. I'd rather fight some jobbers in the Underground right now! At least I'd get some real action there!

"......gck....!"
Seeing Fubuki losing his focus from his obvious triumph, Roche flashed his hands at him. A huge ball of energy exploded from his hands and flew at Fubuki.
"Yes, it's not over yet! Eat this!"
Fubuki closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Hmph...."
He simply waved his hand before him, and a sudden gust of wind howled in front of him, creating a powerful wall of air.
"NEBULA STORM!"
The energy ball slammed into the wall of air, and bounced straight back towards Roche, making a clean hit on the creator of the energy ball himself. Roche fell back, knocked out of conscience.
"Winner is Fubuki!"

Miyu: *as she's reading a book, speaks flatly* Yay.
Athena: What is the point of writing a fight scene if nobody struggles?
Emi: Oh, Athena. You know that the Mary Sue and her flunkies never have to work towards anything.

"You worthless piece of crap!"
Betz, the last of the team growled at his fallen teammates, heaped at their corner of the ring. Fubuki looked away from his next opponent in disgust. He suddenly felt Kira's hand on his shoulder.
"Hey!"
Kira called out at the furious man.
"If you beat me, I'll let you call this whole match your victory!"

Athena: *rubs her forehead* Of course she'll make this all about her in the end. This is atrocious.
Manic: Man, she's Ash Crimson before Ash Crimson even existed!
Benimaru: ...who's Ash?
Manic: Never mind. Forget that I mentioned him.

"What! Why can't you let the guys handle this!!?"
Kyo exclaimed at the sudden announcement.

All: *protesting and flailing*
Tomoko: I'm about to shove those chains of mine up his ass!
Kyo L.: Are you fucking kidding me?! He's that eager to wrap her in cotton because she's a "frail girl"?! This is some bullshit!
Keiko: Not even the real Kusanagi would attempt to force a woman to "stay in the kitchen". *as she unsheathes her katana* Time to meet your maker, copycat. *looks at Kyo K.* You don't mind, do you?
Kyo K.: No, go right ahead. Just save some for me and let Fox Clone burn the evidence.
Kyo L.: Awesome!

Despite his astonishment, Kira smiled at the dumbfound Betz.
"You don't mind, of course, do you, Fubuki?"
".........not like my opposition can sway you anyway. Never did."
Fubuki shrugged, and exitted the ring.

Emi: Translation: Show the plebians how a Mary Sue shows off her... "leet canon haxor skillz". Ugh.
Athena: I also hate the fact that she can never take "no" for an answer. It's always about what she wants.
Keiko: That's exactly why I can never believe her when she pretends to be selfless.

"Well, what do you say to that offer?"
Kira yelled back at the mountainous man at the edge of the ring.
"He...he he he.....Of course I'm gonna do it, babe!"
"Good. Let's have some fun, shall we?"

Keiko: Fun for her, of course.

"Round 3...Fight!"
"Raaa!!!"
Betz charged at the girl as the round began. Kira easily dodged the attack by jumping backwards. Her back arched like a bow, and before her hands hit the floor, her legs, recoiling from the arch, slammed into his jaw. Raiya jumped in excitement.

Athena: *makes a face* Are you serious? Of course we have to give her "poetic" and "elegant" terms for her movements. Not even her own teammates got descriptions like that!
Keiko: They're not allowed to outshine her.

"Yes, it's her Shooting Star Kick!"
Betz' head thrusted backwards, but managed to stay on his feet. A deep-crimson stream of blood tricked from his mouth as he laughed at the girl. Kira smiled back.
"......So you're as tough as you look...."
"You're good, babe."
The crowd began to rustle again, suprised by the seemingly frail girl's powerful kick.

Emi: ...I don't think that "frail" is supposed to be used to describe someone who is attractive. That's like describing someone who's "anorexic" as attractive. It doesn't work like that!

Yashiro, stuck in the back of the fighter's crowd, popped his head above the sea of people to see who the figher was.
"!!"
"Chris, isn't that the girl from that livehouse!?"
Shermie exclaimed, looking the other direction of Yashiro towards the much-easier-to-view huge screen. Chris gazed at the screen with equal amazement.
"I.....it certainly looks like her....!?"

Athena: Um... that's because it is her.

Fubuki glanced at the restless crowd.
"Hmph, Kira may just look like a normal, cheerful girl. But when it comes to fighting, she is far from normal."
Raiya smiled at his teammate.
"Yup. She spent her whole life training as a priestess to control the Orochi power that flows within her. And with that training, she's probably the stongest figher among us."

All: *groans in frustration*
Emi: She only did one move. It wasn't that special!
Keiko: Of course they had to shill that overpowered idiot.
Emi: For one move? Everyone stopped and stared in awe of her over one move! And it was only a basic maneuver!
Athena: *sighs* Yep.
Rory: That doesn't make any sense!
Tails: Of course it doesn't. Once again, Chizuru would never work closely with anyone who has Orochi blood in their veins.
Kyo K.: Eh, more like one of the Hakkeshu, specifically. And let me see if I have this right. This Sue has Orochi blood, yet she's the reincarnation of Kushinada?
Tails: Yep.
Kyo K.: This fic is giving me one hell of a headache.

"Haa....!"
Tiny pearls of light drew into a small ball of light that rested between Kira's hands.
"What the!?"
Terry muttered as he hid his eyes from the bright light flooding from the tiny ball.
Kira raised her hand, the ball hovering over her. A small ring of blue light encompassed the ball, making it look like a small planet.
"Kushinada Style Special Technique!"
With Kira's shout, the ball emitted a even stronger light, blinding those that watched.
"Kya!"
Athena yelped, hiding behind Kensou's back.
"I can't see from that light!"

Emi: Do I really care about the end result of this overpowered move?
Keiko: Not really.

"STARLIGHT EXPLOSION!!"

The ball of light exploded, flooding the dome with pure white.

Moments later, the light was gone, and people were finally recovering from the blinding light. The referee scanned the ring, with Betz to be seen no where.
"....Um....."
Kira pointed at the huge screen for the referee. Betz's body was enbedded deep in the screen.
"Game over!  Winner is Kira Kushinada!!"

Athena: *facepalms, groans*
Akiko: *boos louder*
Cassy: Dude, you're going to be booing a lot. We're not even halfway done with this crap yet!
Akiko: I need to find some way to tell you all how terrible this fic is, right? *continues booing*
Cassy: *laughs*

RAaah!!

Keiko: I think that's the sound of LeMaire offing himself.

"Su...suge-- (incredible)!!"
Kyo shouted as he waved his fist at Kira.

Emi: Of course Pod Master Kyo's easily impressed. This is absolutely atrocious.

"Hmph," Fubuki said as Kira returned to her side of the ring, "You didn't have to show such a powerful move here, did you?"

Athena: Yes, she did. Because she needed to show off.

"Yeah, but I have three more special moves.  And anyway, impact's important, both in a live concert and a fight!"

Keiko: Yes, but I also wish that a meteor would make an impact on your head right now.

Athena: Why? We already know who's going to make the final tournament! It's just going to be the original cast along with that Mary Sue's team! Why is this even here?
Emi: For shilling purposes.
Keiko: I can't wait until we're finished with this dreck. This is painful.
Emi: No kidding.
