The story is too long so I Have to put each part separate!
(Ash story Part Two!)
Spoiler:
Then the "Mirror of Yata" in the last tournament Ash managed to put his hands in the power of "Jewel of Yasakani. Now taking the "Sword of Kusanagi," two of "Three Sacred Treasures" which held Orochi are no longer in the hands of his heirs at law.
And Ash intends to soon acquire that ultimate power.
After biting his pale lips, Chizuru whispered.
"Even though the Orochi has not yet fallen into their hands, even if the powers of Kusanagi is stolen by Ash, then it is impossible to seal Orochi again."
"We will not allow this to happen."
In his pants pocket white Benimaru started playing your cell phone.
"Thinking of what has been said, I find it unlikely that Ash faces Kyo face to face. He will take advantage of some confusion ... probably going to attack on the stage of KOF.
"So?"
"Yeah. Why do you think I came back to Japan? But of course I see your face is also part of my goals. "
Benimaru pulled the phone from his pocket after a few gestures and unassuming, he bid farewell to Chizuru.
"... It's time for meeting with my teammates. There is still much to talk but I have to ask permission now. "
*****************************************
For Duo Lon was born and raised in the cold and dry land of Hebei, Shanghai Gangnam was a completely foreign land. But even so, every visit to this city, Duo Lon felt something akin to nostalgia, possibly because he had built a story here.
In the perception of Duo Lon, has been more difficult to live in this city every year.
China now that this can now be called the world trade center, Shanghai is developing even more than the capital Beijing, so why she had become a more difficult place to live? ... It must be because he is a kind of person who lives just outside the sunshine.
The old quarters are demolished and their places are erected beautiful buildings that scrubs the skies. In this new environment those accustomed to the margins of society change gradually their ways of living. The mobsters who could only use violence are also required to learn more cunning ways of living.
However it is different.
No matter how much the change was that the city's landscape becomes it does not accept the change itself.
So he should feel uncomfortable in the new Shanghai.
The name of this man is clumsy Shen Woo.
Duo Lon returned to Shanghai to meet with this man.
After the end of the last KOF, Shen Woo suddenly disappeared along with the rest of your team.
Some even discussed the rumor of his death, but Duo Lon did not believe that not a hypothesis. That's because he knew that Shen was not the type who would die so easily.
This thinking proved correct as he arrived in Shanghai.
"... This man draws attention no matter where you go."
By observing the healthy figure of Shen Woo, Duo Lon smiled coldly.
Duo Lon crouched down near the high window to watch the pandemonium that had become the festive mood that there was less than 10 minutes ago.
In the hall of the restaurant was being held in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the establishment's owner, group president and briefly Shin An, Chinese mafia boss. Obviously, more than half of those present at the party were members of the organization.
To enter this hall, Shen used a huge garbage truck to knock down the wall, and then happily went up men stunned. Not even on the stages of KOF can see a performance so extravagant.
Knocked down by truck or by the violent struggle, the tables are turned white and the drinks and dishes are all over the floor.
Immersed in the smell of that elusive mix nasty criminals who had gathered to celebrate the birthday of their leader are one and a beaten and defeated. In numbers the advantage would be entirely theirs, but opposite Shen brute force alone, there was nothing to do except to be humiliated.
Perhaps afraid to reach each other firearms were not used. But even if they had been the maximum that they could extend it a little time between entry of the truck and the overthrow of the last man. The strength of Shen was superior to that point.
In the fighting style of Shen there is no trace of rhythm you might think about the words martial arts. Nor as when no description Duo Lon arises silently and knocks the opponent with a blow from behind. Rotates the arms and legs with full force, spreading insults and tramples everything that comes in, this fighting style could only be set to fight.
Amidst this mess the obese boss lost his chance to flee in the face and received the ruthless iron fist that broke all his teeth. At this time Duo Lon descended to the scene of tragedy.
"Fuh ~!"
While getting rid of the blood on his wrists Shen noted the already very quiet hall, Duo Lon noticed standing beside the garbage truck and casually waved his hands.
"So?"
".. Once again you gave a wonderful show."
"I have to apply the appropriate penalty on those guys who mess with me."
When Shen Woo opened his lips were visible their large canine teeth
Duo Lon watched the old man covered in blood at the foot of Shen Woo and asked a little late.
"What they've done to you?"
"They hired an assassin to kill me!"
While saying this, Shen stirred bandages around the arms and neck. Injuries under the bandages were almost all closed, but by what can be deduced, must be the result of the struggle with such a killer.
Since Shen is alive, this commission ended in failure, but it would not be an excuse for Shen ignore those who threatened his life.
When you hear the distant sound of police sirens, Shen lowered his shoulders and said to Duo Lon.
"... Well, the details come later, before the trouble comes we will retreat by the back entrance which is less curious."
"They suffer all that and still can not go crying to the police. Mafia is an industry and business suffered. "
"He! Absolutely."
Ignoring the garbage truck that came in, Shen went to great strides over the bodies of the men groaned in pain on the floor. Duo Lon watched the corpses of criminals almost killed, he sighed and went Shen.
"... Moreover, Duo Lon ~"
While walking the dirty alleys Shen asked.
"What?"
"You do not know where is Ash?"
Upon receiving the question that he wanted to Duo Lon can only laugh.
"What is it? What's so funny? "
"Nothing ... Neither do you? "
"Oh? What do you mean with you too?
"I looked for you because I thought maybe you knew the whereabouts of the Ash."
"Tsh .."
Duo Lon's words did Shen get her shoulders and grumble. Perhaps the sense of anger Shen, cats turn cans that looked for leftovers quickly fled from his path.
While raising the collar of his jacket, Duo Lon, Shen noted with the corner of his eye.
"... What happened to Ash?"
"Oh, a lot of things, is anger at the memory. But if it is to simplify the bastard's leg began to Ash for me! "
Soon the two were going to have a usual bar at the edge of the channel. The golden light bathed the little west of the popular district of warehouses and drew the shadows of two men long and dark.
After scratching a slight scar on her cheek, Duo Lon, Shen asked.
"... And why you are looking for Ash?"
"Actually not me who is looking for him. ... Remember the woman named Elizabeth? "
"I remember. That woman who was tough on his team, right? "
"It is she who is looking for Ash."
"Why?"
"She did not tell me the details. ... But it seems a matter concerning that strange company.
"Heh ~"
Reacting to the conversation, the face of Shen opened a fierce smile that resembled a beast. The Shen always shows this expression when a conflict smells interesting.
"... To be honest I'm also interested in what Ash is planning."
"Really? I do not give one. "
"Absolutely."
What matters to Shen's just fight with full force against strong opponents. It is a kind and easy to understand.
".. If we follow Ash, this kind of opponent should appear on their own."
"Even if it does not show anything, I can not let loose so Ash. You understand right? Even among old friends are no rules. So we can diss together as before he will have to pay so ready. "
"That's how it works?"
"That's right."
"In practice?"
"I hit a guy with everything in it!"
The handle of Shen went skyward.
"... Well, it's almost a younger brother to me, so I'll just let that one go with that."
While laughing Shen grabbed the shoulder of Duo Lon entered the well-known bar.
Obviously Shen and Duo Lon nor even remember most of those poor mobsters. That whole fight was not nothing but a daily event in the life of Shen.
***************************************
When Benimaru reached the hospital room Shingo Yabuki was almost the end of visiting hours.
"It was bad. I just underestimating the congestion of Japan wanted to have arrived a little earlier ... "
"No problem at all! I am thankful for is coming Nikaido-san! "
Still sitting on the bed, lowered his head to Shingo Benimaru.
"Hey Daimon-sensei! Long time no see! "
"Uh!"
Goro Daimon said before he arrived with his usual face closed. But of course Benimaru knew very well that Daimon was not in a bad mood. The two knew each other long enough that he could understand Benimaru the few expressions of quiet judoka.
Benimaru settled in an iron chair and once again found his body covered with bandages and plaster casts of Shingo and said sarcastically.
"Until you are well huh? Ô-man mummy? "
"Ah! It is my only quality is the tough body! "
"It's true."
"Gee Benimaru-san! At that time you did not have to say I have other qualities? "
Shingo laughed suffered from the direct reaction of Benimaru.
Shingo KOF came in last with Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. And at the end of the tournament when an unexpected "Revolt of the Blood" took care of Iori, Kyo Shingo protected and suffered serious injuries that will take several months to be cured.
Ash Story final part
Spoiler:
But now he can get up without help from anyone and talk happily. This can be even considered as evidence of the strength of Shingo.
Since he is already well under half months in hospital, it will not take anything until he goes down the bed and say they want to resume training. Shingo Yabuki is a couple of those do not worry about the future.
"... Now seeing a particular room is a tremendous stewardship for a mere Shingo."
"Ah! Who is paying for this room is the Kagura-san. "
"The Chizuru-san?"
"Yes. I said I did not, but she said that her fault this happened ... "
"I understand ..."
Shingo decided to add water to oil to form a team with Iori and Kyo because he knew that having them fighting together was the desire to Chizuru, who had lost their powers.
Typically, Chizuru would not have to worry as much about injuries Shingo. It's common sense that martial arts fighters getting hurt is nothing more that responsibility themselves. Especially considering that Shingo Chizuru not asked to enter the tournament.
But from the standpoint of Chizuru is the thought of what would have happened if she had not lost its powers to Ash. Iori Yagami now having a "Revolt of Blood" was obviously a result of breaking the seal of Orochi. Chizuru feel even more responsibility because of it.
Benimaru found the remaining time to visit and asked to Shingo.
".. At that time failed to ask why you deleted immediately, but what happened there?"
"I'm sorry, I do not know right ... well ... suddenly the Yagami-san lost his sanity and attacked the Kusanagi-san. I wanted to help the Kusanagi-san so I tried to stop the Yagami-san, but ... "
At this time the words have ceased and Shingo is discouraged.
"... You do not need to worry about it."
Daimon has his hand on the shoulder of Shingo.
"It's out there. Even if it was me or the Goro-chan who was there on time, do not think we could stop the uncontrolled Yagami. That there is not human, is a real monster. "
Benimaru knew that those words did not serve any consolation, but were the only ones he found to say to Shingo.
"... That means that Ash came soon after that?"
"Oh, yeah! ... From there I do not remember very well, but Ash approached Yagami-san in the back and pulled out ... a soul? .. Something like that, he pulled with force and hence the Yagami-san also dropped ... "
"That was when we arrived, right?"
"Probably ..."
When Benimaru and his team arrived Kyo, Iori and Shingo they were all scattered on the floor, unconscious. Only Ash was standing, displaying an irritating smile and cold in the rain.
"... Talking about it, what happened to the Ash-san after that?"
"He ran away."
His face contorted Benimaru unable to deny the humiliation of having failed.
"I, Elizabeth and Duo Lon ... three of us tried to get it together, but in front of us the guy was gone like smoke. "
"He disappeared?"
Responding to rare aloud Daimon, Benimaru confirmed coldly.
"That's right. That probably was the power of "Mirror". "
"From Kagura-san ...?"
Using the power of "Mirror" which should be with Chizuru, Ash disappeared from the front of Benimaru and others. That means he already has full control over these powers.
And from the words of Shingo, Benimaru also confirmed that Ash stole the powers of Yagami. The next time you meet him, Ash will probably already have control over the powers of the "jewel".
Daimon closed his speech and crossed his thick arms.
"... After Kagura-owner and Yagami, it is clear that Ash's next target will be to Kyo, but ..."
"That's the point! Where is the center of the conversation? Where's Kyo?
"..."
Daimon and Shingo silent and looked to have turned their necks in denial.
"He was hospitalized for tests, was not it? What is the hospital? "
"The hospital was this one, but before it was considered right he fled the hospital and disappeared ..."
"That idiot ...!"
Benimaru put his hand on his forehead and groaned.
Thrown by angry nurses, and Daimon Benimaru left the hospital.
The day was dim and sultry midsummer night had already begun. As they walked side by side streets lit by poles, Benimaru asked Daimon.
"What do you think that Kyo is doing now?"
"I do not know ..."
"Is that unlike his personality, he is holed up in a mountain training?"
"... Already happened once something like this before, right?"
"Yeah, I understand that he does not want others to see you struggling, but his case is a little extreme."
Even though he was caught by surprise, the fact of having been overthrown by a single stroke of the Yagami should have hurt the pride of Kyo. To fix this is easy to imagine that he should be training their techniques away from the eyes of others.
"... The Kyo should be fine."
"Is not it dangerous to walk alone?"
"Even if I do not think he would like us escorting him."
"It's true ..."
"Ultimately, if you want to get stronger you have to do something for himself. That goes for us too is not it?
Daimon nodded. The man who repeatedly reached the top of the world in judo, you know the rigors of training yourself more than anyone.
"Now the question is Yagami ... but in hindsight it should appear as soon as Kyo showing up. What we can do now is ... "
"How about Benimaru? Want to come tomorrow to my dojo in college? "
"Wow wow, give me a break here!"
When looking at the broad smile of his top teammate, answered with a smile Benimaru suffered.
"I just got back today to the country! Nor do I re-adapted to the time zone yet, let me rest tomorrow. "
"I'm kidding. Health maintenance is also an important work. "
"... The Goro-chan told a joke! Tomorrow it will rain ~ "
Forcing out the concerns with a smile, Benimaru looked at the sky with few stars.
*****************************************
Sitting under the green cover of the ornate cathedral. Her legs shook his hand and was heading for the sky a few stars.
Perhaps satisfied with Neo Art, green flames appeared on the fingers of young smiling.
This flame sometimes glowed red, blue once, constantly changing color. On the lips of this young stranger, dry smile.
North bank of the Seine, 18th district of Paris. This cathedral was built on the highest hill of the city is one of the most famous sights of Paris. But even so, tourists come to climb that high.
"... Ash Crimson."
Caught by surprise by the female voice, the young man smashed the flame in his hands and turned his gaze.
"You do not get those powers to play with fire did not you?"
"... The name was Botan-san, right?"
I did not know when she arrived there, but looking at the young woman standing on top of the roof dangerous, the young gave a cold smile.
"... Came to Montmartre just to say that? You are very idle huh? "
"What a waste of time."
Irritated, the woman named Botan threw the young man a white envelope.
"It's the" invitation "to the next tournament."
"Heh ~"
"It will give me one too? They are well educated!
"It's the last step. There will fail. "
"I am not a subordinate of you, then you could stop giving orders to stay?"
"Now its ..."
Botan changed expression with the bold words of the young, but soon calmed their anger and sighed.
"... You should think better at his position. Thanks to whom you are living now ...? If you get too excited about it will end by destroying itself, you know? "
"Thanks for the warning, Botan-san. I'll study hard enough not to be considered a "useless". "
"One more thing."
"We still have something?"
"The woman Brantorche arrived in Paris to look for you."
"Beth?"
For an instant the smile vanished from the face of the young, but this surprise was soon replaced by another smile.
"If you turn an inconvenience, you should get rid of it."
After saying that the figure of Botan quietly disappeared from the Martyrs' Hill which overlooks the town of Paris.
"A ~ ~ Ãh"
The boy crumpled the invitation and slipped into his pocket. While stirred the long fringe, whispered angrily.
"Beth is still serious as ever. And I think they could relax a little bit more ... "
In the next instant the figure of the young man was covered with red flames and disappear into the air.
**********************************************
THE KING OF FIGHTERS opens.
"R"
When she was surprisingly simple content, which slightly surprised Benimaru this text was not without refinement, but the fact of this tournament to be held shortly after the end of the tournament the past.
"The sender and the '" R ", eh? This brings up memories. "
The lips involuntarily react to the wax seal family.
"Who will be the organizer of this time?"
Alone occupying the back seat of the blue car open, Daimon stared and whispered about the invitation that arrived at the same time for yourself.
"The Rugal destroyed itself with its base ..."
"According to information from Chizuru-san, the organizer of this time is moving the heavy press to publicize the tournament. If you open an official release to the press, the identity of the organizer will soon be discovered. "
Following the rhythm of the music on the radio, Benimaru held the steering wheel. The chassis of the car that ran on the open road towards the airport glowed blue in the sunlight.
".. And to think that Kyo disagreements with me and went abroad."
"Combine it with more than stashing it in a mountain."
"Well, Kyo hates that strive to take the initiative to train is good news for us."
It was only last night that Kyo contacted Benimaru. A call that did not explain anything unilaterally and still asked to pick him at the airport, but for Benimaru was more a relief to know that Kyo was good than annoying.
While the beloved car parked in the large airport parking, Benimaru widened lips.
"So ... after a while we meet the stronger Japanese Time! "
When fought Orochi or Nests at the end always came back with this team. There were many times known in KOF, but they had confidence Benimaru yes were the strongest.
While watching the jets that came up with big bangs, and Benimaru Daimon went to the hall of the airport.
*********************************
When leaving the airport Charles de Gaulle and Paris get in the Ile de France, Duo Lon has a sleepy look in his companion who has not had adapted the difference in time zones and gave a slight smile.
"... What is it?"
Noticing the look of Duo Lon, Shen asked grumpy.
"They should be rare men that contrast so well with the City of Lights."
"Do not Boil!"
"... I warn you now."
After passing through the box office and climb the ladder that leads to the surface, Duo Lon began limiting the poisonous Shen.
"The leader of this team is probably the kind of woman you hate most."
"He speaks very proud and stiff upper lips?"
"Yeah."
"Hey!"
"One more thing, the kind of man she hates to be you."
"EI!"
"Swallow it all and try to relate the law."
"You talk as if it were easy ... besides, if she wants me on the team, should not she who should get us there in Shanghai?"
"This is a high class lady who does not know these details of the relationships between people. Ignore her pride and let go. "
"Tsk ... unlike you I'm an honest guy. If something irritate me and I will speak on the fly. "
"I do not care about it. ... But do not forget that our goal is to find Ash. "
"No need to remember that. ... I will not rest until a hit and make that kid cry! "
After threading the already crumpled invitation in his pocket, Shen got the gloves again.
After leaving the subway and go up to the surface, the two were greeted by a beautiful sunset in Paris.
Not only Shen, Duo Lon but himself knew that he also does not match this city, but still the two stepped on the soil of Paris.
