After Reno made quick work
of Gorki, Rude quickly walked into the arena with the small child Shake. Shake
was quick to taunt Rude, but Rude was very unresponsive.
"You think you can beat me?" Shake taunted.
"You're nothing. Your friend was nothing. Gorki is and has always been our
worst fighter. Nobody likes him anyway. You thinking you even stand a chance
against me is foolish. FOOLISH!"
Rude walked slowly over to Shake. Shake did not respond
at all. He continued to make an ass of himself as he attempted to ridicule Rude.
The small boy only came up to Rude's stomach, yet the cocky little boy didn't
even flinch.
"You think you all bad cuz you're soooo
tall," Shake said. "Don't worry, just give it time. Soon you'll be on
your knees in utter pain."
Sephy, I think I have udder pain too.
Without warning, Rude threw a strong punch,
connecting with the top of Shake's head. He collapsed on the spot.
"Hey!" Staniv yelled. "That was a low
blow! He hadn't even done his Speed Change yet!"
"Staniv," Rude said, calmly raising his
middle finger to Staniv. "Right here buddy. The douche bag had it coming.
Besides dude, he was on the mat of ass kicking, so I kicked his ass."
Chekhov walked onto the mat and hurled Shake off. She
motioned for Rude to leave the fighting arena and Elena to enter. Elena jumped
up and down a couple times in excitment and ran onto the mat. Rude walked off
and opened a beer he had stashed in his jacket. The three Turks on the sidelines
shared the beer and cheered on Elena.
"Let's not waste time," Chekhov said.
"Magic Change!" A purple cloud burst around Chekhov. When the smoke
cleared, the woman form of Chekhov was gone and replaced by a purple creature
with many limbs and many eyes.
"Eww," Elena said as she took a fighting
stance. "Come on Cheeky, I'll let you have the first hit."
Chekhov didn't move. Instead, she stayed in place and
stared at Elena. Elena's movement quickly slowed until she seemed to cease all
movement below the neck.
"What the hell did you do to me?" Elena said.
"I can't move my arms and legs! This is messed."
Chekhov moved in quickly and wrapped her arms around
Elena, followed by some absorb attack that involved some sucking or something. I
couldn't tell what was happening.
"Hey Elena!" Tseng yelled. "I know it
sucks that you're losing, but well, this is HOT!"
Elena smiled to Tseng, then looked back down at the
creature slowly sucking away her being. "Hey Cheeky, this is hot and all,
but you forgot something. You never paralyzed my head!" Elena lunged with
her head and bit down on one of Chekhov's antennae. Chekhov released her grip on
Elena and started flailing at Elena's head to get her to let go. Elena held
strong with her teeth.
A few minutes of this flailing went on until Elena was
standing on Chekhov's feet and holding several of her arms with her two hands.
"Sorry Cheeky," Elena said. "Your stare
wore off."
Chekhov immediately stared at her again, but Elena was
ready this time. She released her hold on all of Chekhov's hands and readied her
hands, Three Stooges style. With no hesitation, the eye poking began. Two at a
time, Elena jabbed her fingers into Chekhov's eyes. Her speed was outstanding
and before Chekhov could rub her first set of eyes from the pain, Elena had
poked all three sets of eyes. Elena stepped off of Chekhov's feet, allowing
Chekhov to use all her extra arms to rub furiously at her eyes.
"Elena!" The Turks all yelled. "Finish
her!"
Elena nodded at her comrades and ran up to the blind
Chekhov. Elena spun around and unleashed a lethal roundhouse kick to Chekhov's
head, knocking her off her feet. Before Chekhov could hit the ground, Elena
continued her spin and side-kicked Chekhov in the chest, sending Chekhov flying
into the opposite wall. Upon impact, Chekhov reverted to her human self as she
lie unconscious on the ground. The Turks all started cheering, but were quickly
interrupted by the furious Staniv.
"Shut up! All of you," Staniv yelled. He
pointed at Elena. "You! Get out of the ring." He pointed at Tseng.
"You! Get in the ring."
Tseng ran into the ring and faced his opponent.
"Careful Tsengy!" Elena said. "Remember,
that's Staniv of the fourth floor!"
"No more wasting time," Staniv said. Tseng
nodded in agreement. "Weapon Ch-"
Tseng reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out a
handgun, and fired at Staniv, hitting him between the eyes. Staniv immediately
fell over, and Tseng and the Turks started cheering uncontrollably.
"Nice job dude!" Reno yelled. "I timed
that shit. You took down Staniv of the fourth floor in negative two seconds! A
new record!"
"Tseng? Did you just kill Staniv?" I asked.
"Nah, don't worry," Tseng said. "It was
loaded with rubber bullets, so it just hurts like mad and possibly jostled his
brain a bit. If he's lucky, it'll only be a coma."
"You people are sick!" a new voice in the
corner of the room said. The Turks stopped cheering to look at this strange, fat
man. "I am Godo, and I own this pagoda. Why did you people come here and
knock out or otherwise incapacitate my guards?"
"We're here to stop your ruthless plan to takeover
the world through useless merchandise and TV shows and whatnot," I said.
And I'm here for the free popcorn.
"Popcorn?" Godo asked.
"Never mind that," I said. "Are you
going to stop your plot to takeover the world, or do I have to stop you by
force?"
"I'm not trying to take over the
world," Godo said. "The only people trying to conquer the world are
those pathetic Shinras and their electric company. Wait a minute, are you
Sephiroth?"
"Yeah, why?"
"He's blabbering Sephor," Tseng said.
"I'll get 'im." Tseng pulled out his handgun and aimed it at Godo's
head. He started to pull the trigger, when a yellow materia from the ceiling
fell down at a high velocity and knocked the gun from his hand.
"Shit, Turks, retreat. We screwed up big." Tseng grabbed his gun and
all four Turks raced out of the pagoda.
Now, I was feeling about as clueless as Mother on a
normal day. Once the Turks left, the thrower of the materia fell from the
ceiling. It was none other than Yuffie.
"Guys, we've been had," Yuffie said.
"Well, you've been had. I've been trying to tell you, but catching up to
you guys is tough. You move pretty quickly."
Hey Sephy? Can I have that materia she threw?
"No! Mine!" Yuffie yelled, diving on the
yellow materia. "I love my Throw Materia. Yuk yuk yuk. It's so ironic. The
only thing I could find to throw was the Throw Materia itself."
"Can we move on?"
"Yeah, right," Yuffie said, standing back up.
"You guys've been had. Reeve's been had. Shin-Ra never stopped their stupid
plan to pollute the world. They just led Reeve on to believe it stopped, then
while Reeve was busy working on that Mythril Mine tunnel, they sent you -Reeve's
only leverage on the situation- away on some stupid mission of no importance.
"I thought Reeve and Rufus were friends now,"
I said.
"They were, but once Rufus was offered the
position of Mayor, that all changed. Now Shin-Ra is plotting to cover the world
with a giant, never ending city that they'll control completely by putting up
thousands of reactors all over the world and polluting the world. Then, they'll
build a pollution control thing and reduce and raise the pollution level as they
see fit. It'll be their way of keeping the world in fear of them."
"I'm still trying to figure out why I'm going to
help you," I said.
"Well, this may be hard for your mommy to
hear," Yuffie said. "Hojo is working with Shin-Ra, and well, her doggy
and fishy have been taken hostage!"
Edwardo! Sephy!
"I'm right here Mother."
Riiiight. I mean, Edwardo! Tiffany!
"So what do we do first?" |
