THE UNOFFICIAL Mortal Kombat v Street Fighter Story

Chapter 35: SUDDEN DEATH!

I

GFD

Now, there are but five of us in this tournament. At a time, there had been around one hundred. So many have been defeated, or have had their fights end in draws. In some situations, the losers died. More often than not, the deaths were intentional. I am just glad that not all of the mortals that lost--died. It would be too heavy a reminder for me of the madness some beings have.

Now, there will be all five of us in kombat, in a Sudden Death style match. There are two to worry about. General M. Bison, and Noob Saibot. Usually, I would not have to worry about Bison, but all gods have been restricted to the power they used in the Mortal Kombat tournaments. So, Bison is a very dangerous threat, even to Raiden.

Noob Saibot...I do not know. He is a very--mysterious warrior. I know that he is not a god, yet the power he has is uncanny. I was surprised that he was able to defeat Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung can use the powers of nearly all of the Mortal Kombatants, including Noob Saibot.

Then again, that always was his main flaw. He is so confident in that ability, that he thinks himself to be unstoppable. In reality, he is as mortal as his enemy, Liu Kang. I wonder how the after-life treats him.

While my original plans for my new Shadowloo have nearly fallen apart, I can still make it work out to my advantage. The main one I wanted out of the way is Goro. I had just barely came out from the fight with Kintaro. Having to battle one of those monsters is enough. If I have to fight him, it may as well be with the rest of Shadowloo. We softened him up enough, and Raiden was able to defeat him.

DAMN! That's something I just now thought of. Raiden is a god, as he so pointed out to us when he--rescued Goro. With Akuma, Sagat, and Vega feeling the worst end of Goro's attacks, and Raiden's assistance, I will have to dirty my hands with these scum-wads! Oh well, it's been a long while since I got involved with Sibling Rivalries.

At long last, our paths shall cross again. It has been too long. Now, it is time for me to end your terror, brother. I cannot allow you to continue on this path of madness, and bring the world to a blazing demise. You are good, but do not underestimate me. You will be surprised at what I have learned.

So, now I'm in the finals! Good! It's as it should be! I now answer only to me! No Shao Khan, no Shinnok, only Noob Saibot. Whatever the prize, I'll use it as it is meant to be.

For once, I wish Eliza would have really tried to stop me from getting into this mess! Everything feels like some crazy slasher story, only I can't switch the channel! This--bites!

I'm glad Chun Li's been talking with Ryu. She's one Helluva girl! She took a Raging Demon, head on, and was bruised a little, but not much more. I also think that she's been able to help him use his power, without succumbing to his darkness. The answer is so simple, though. She hadn't succumb, because of her strong love for him. He has been doing so well, because he's falling in love with her!

They were doing some rad moves. They were maybe five feet away, yet they seemed to be standing right next to each other. You could see their combined auras, and man, was it huge! Then they began to levitate, like Dhalsim! They had to have been at least ten feet in the air! Then, that's when the real show began. For that entire distance, in each direction, Chun Li unleashed a nasty Kiko-Sho! Ryu unleashed a Shinku-Hadouken Beam that went the distance. It seemed to be in three layers! The bottom was like fire. The mid was like usual. The top was electric! Now THAT is a Combination Finish!

Me? I've got my own projects I've worked on. I can do all three moves, chaining one into another. Start off with a Shoryu-Reppa, go into the Shippi-Jinrai-Kyaku, and finish up with a Shin-Ryu-Ken! Now, if I can just figure out how to chain the Beam into it. I know! Like my air fireballs that go at an angle, I can work on using it at the end of the chain! That oughta impress them, once I get it down. But hey, this is me! Shouldn't take me more than a few times, just to decide where to put it.

"Woah!"

The light encompassed the remaining five warriors. Now, the final round is about to start.

"I swear, as long as I live, I won't ever get used to that!"

"For once, Ken, I agree with you. My own teleportaion isn't that bad."

"So, where are we?" asked Rose, quietly.

"I don't believe it! This is that mountain range Ryu and I fought Bison that one time!"

"You are correct, Ken. A fitting place for such an important fight. Now, begin."

Without waiting for anything more, Noob Saibot caught Raiden with his force-ball. He then sent a twin to throw him, uppercutted him, and finished the kombo with a tele-slam.

As if some message was sent to them, the remaining fighters also attacked Raiden. Bison nearly caught him with a flaming torpedo, only for Raiden to warp near enough for Rose to use her drain power. No sooner had she began the move, then she was blasted away from the raw power of a god.

"I suggest that you do not try that again. You may not survive a second one."

"I'm sure she thanks you, but you'd better watch out for yourself!"

Ken then chained in a few low kicks, ending by sweeping Raiden off his feet. As he rose, he was driven back by a Scissor-Kick, and then was hit from the side by a Soul Spiral.

I suppose I cannot entirely blame them. If I was in their situation, I would join up with the rest to take down the one who has the most power. In this case, that would be me, as I am a god. If I was mortal, I would do the same thing. At least it does prove my point about humans working together. Well, at least with Ken and Rose it does. They are willing to put aside any differences they may have, in exchange to make sure each survive. Bison...will use them to make sure his plans for domination are fulfilled. In that way, it makes him similar to Noob Saibot.

"Last mistake, `god.' Bye!"

Noob Saibot caught him in a force-ball, paralyzing Raiden, who had his powers limited to only what he used in the Mortal Kombat Tournament.

Rose created some clones, and drilled into Raiden with all of them following in. Before he fell, he was blasted with a Shin-Ryu-Ken, burning the god with each hit. Just before he landed, Bison, and several copies nailed him with a series of Knee Press Nightmares!

"That, is one down."

"No, my sister, I think not. It will take a bit more to finish this god."

No sooner had he finished speaking, then Raiden was up once more.

Now, the three Street Fighter stood side-by-side, and acted as one. Bison summoned a Psycho Canon, and batted the projectile into the god, as Rose followed with a Soul Aurora, which was joined by a Shinku-Hadouken fireball.

The three projectiles struck the god, taking him completely off his feet. The second he hit the ground, Noob Saibot erupted from the ground, to slam Raiden, hard. When it ended, Raiden was down, with no trace of his sparks flickering around him.

"ONE DOWN!"

As the voice exploded, everyone instinctively ducked for cover, only to see the light appear once more. It engulfed Raiden, and he was gone with the light.

"What happened to him?"

"Do not worry, Rose. I have returned him to the others. Now, it is down to you four. How shall this play out?"

In a blink, they were alone once more.

"As much as I despise the thought of working with you, I suggest we do, for this man has more power than any of us. He would be the next strongest. If we wish to make it through, then we must work together. Otherwise, he will kill us."

"Yea, then that would make you next, right?"

"Let us worry about that, when it comes, Ken."

"Ha! And just what's to say you won't kill either of us before that time."

"Would you rather I joined with him? I'm sure he would seize the opportunity to eliminate you. When it's down to him and I--we'll see."

"Oh, so now that you've been blown off, you're suddenly confident that you can beat him by yourself, when you thought all three of us couldn't beat him! You just want us to do all the work for you. I'm not backing down from a fight. I'd look forward to a rematch with you, any time, any place!"

"Would you two stop bickering. For now, I will help you Bison. Once this is over; we shall see."

"You're crazy! You think you can trust this psycho! I don't...SHIT!"

A clone ran up, and hurled Bison into a sharp uppercut to the jaw from Noob Saibot, flooring the dictator. He then shot up, and appeared in front of Rose, slamming her into the ground, with a slight snap as her spine hit the cold ground. He then rocked Ken with four fast kicks.

"Fools! I do not need help to waste the three of you! You are right, in that I have more power than all three of you combined! Now, you shall feel that power!"

Noob Saibot warped to grab Bison, only for Bison to warp past him. He then grabbed Noob Saibot, and threw him to the ground. He blocked a slide, and then tossed Bison into Ken. Rose was right behind him, and caught him in her "brain-drain." This time, she wasn't thrown off by a violent explosion, but was dazed from the darkness, allowing Noob Saibot to hit her with two strong punches, before popping her up, into the air.

Ken was in, and began to knee Noob Saibot repeatedly in the gut, before kicking him away. Bison followed up, by crashing on Noob Saibot's skull, before smashing his fist into the ninja's face.

Seeing how badly Rose was staggering, Ken took a moment to try and help her.

"Hey, Rose? You ok? You look, out of it. Maybe you need..."

Before he could finish, she punted him swiftly below the belt, dropping him to his knees.

"Rose! What is the meaning of this?"

Noob Saibot interrupted Bison with his twin kombo.

"Stupid. She took some of my energy. Normaly, I suppose that weakens a fighter. While it does weaken me, in also strengthens me. Now, the evil that flows through me, flows through her. What's even better, is that I am in control. Rose, finish him!"

The words were barely spoken, when Rose sent him into the air, and followed with an Aura Soul Throw, drawing a long trail of blood with Bison. As he got up, he was just able to warp out from a Soul Illusion.

"Rose! Stop this at once!" he demanded, as if commanding one of his soldiers.

Instead, she used her own slide, which he easily evaded, only for Noob Saibot to slam him from a teleport.

"What? Were you expecting me to let this zombie have all the fun! Don't cry too much, the reaper approaches!"

Bison countered a Spark with his own Spark, which was also able to counter Noob Saibot's teleport slam attempt. Bison moved in, and lifted the ninja by his throat, and began to choke him, his psycho power radiating the area around them with its darkness.

Bison fell, releasing his grip on Noob Saibot, suffering a similar fate that Rose inflicted onto Ken.

"You zealous idiot...that is why humans will fall...KILL HIM!" he finished, as he slowly regained his air.

Still on his hands and knees, Bison was also gasping, from his sudden vulnerability. Rose kicked him just as hard upside his head. She then rolled him over, before she drove her foot into his throat, and began to choke him.

Her eyes were almost pure darkness; even where the eyes should be white, there was black. For the first time in a long while, Bison experienced what we would call fear. He was slowly being killed, by his own sister!

"Aaahhh!" she screamed, as she fell atop him.

"It looks like a lot of people are forgetting things, today. You forgot about me, blacky. Let's finish this."

Noob Saibot moved in a blink, and hurled Ken into the air.

Bison laughed, before he unleashed a Psycho Crusher! Still in the air, Ken used a super similar to Akuma's, pining the fallen Noob Saibot into the ground.

"TWO DOWN!"

IV

"So, how shall we work this?"

"Easy: Bison, you're going down! I'm gonna kick your ass!"

"Useless trash! I won't be holding back! You'll be sleeping with the maggots tonight!"

Bison appeared right in front of Ken, and gave him his "three strikes!"

"Don't think we’ve forgotten you, sister. Here, I'll let you play too. Catch!"

Bison threw Ken right into Rose, laughing before saying, "Oops, I guess you weren't ready."

Ken went for a Dragon Punch, which Bison easily side-stepped. Ken went for a second, with the same results. On the third one, Bison nailed him with a Scissor Kick. He then repeated a long string of them, before Ken succumbed to the assault. As he turned, Bison was met with several kicks to the face, finished by a Aura Assault. Rose then caught him, flew into the air, and drove him into the ground.

As Rose landed, he used the same barrage he used on Ken, only he added a Torpedo at the end!

"All right!"

Ken nailed Bison with Shoryu-Reppa, burning Bison with each strike to his body. Then, without stopping, Ken went into a Shippi-Jinrai-Kyaku, and began to unleash a flurry of kicks, continuing the battery. Just before he began to launch Bison into the air for the last part, he went into a Shin-Ryu-Ken! At the climax of the move, he made the motion, and built up his power. Unlike the one he used against Noob Saibot, Ken used a Shinku-Hadouken beam to finish off Bison.

"THREE DOWN!"

"Well, Rose, it looks like it's you and me, babe!"

"You are half correct, Ken. The two of you shall be in The Grand Fight. However, to prove yourselves, you shall pit your skills against me!"

"WHAT?!" they each blurted in disbelief.

Yes, you read that right! 36, TGF, will be Ken AND Rose v the A-O! The powers, and what's in store for them are up in the next one! Pay attention, to see how it all comes to an end (well, I'll still have to write the ending, and sum up what happened, but first thing's first, right?)!
