The King of Fighters '94 Rebirth

Chapter 17: Violence

"So, this miserable waited this whole time, but it's a shame that the round ended for him, I'll not let him take his pace on the fight, I'll control until I ensure the end." Jason Martinez faced his adversary with his face a little gaping and soon regaining his confidence went back to his couch. One minute of interval was offered by the professional boxing, the enough time for Heavy D! to receive some scolding. "I trusted you as you asked, but I could see that one more retreat from you could end this fight once and for all. I hope you have learned and thought on a good strategy." His couch spoke while the same ritual was repeated and the fighter took care of his wounds focusing only on what was waiting him. "You know I don't disappoint you." From the other side his opponent was also attended. "The strength we saw from him is much bigger than this, I was hoping that this fight would get me ready to the champion but I feel that he doesn't have the necessary yet." Jason was searching for someone at his height that could motivate him, this fight didn't seem to give him motivation. "We studied him for a little while, finish the fight while it's favorable to your side, we can't risk an overturn from someone so violent." His oral protection was reattached to his mouth and both seemed ready to the fight sequel. "You're right, I have to take advantage of the situation." The fighters were called to return to the center of the ring in fighting position to the beginning of the third round.

"Round 3, boxing!" The bell sounded and the fighters' fists found itself so anxious. "Time to end this!" The advantage was from Martinez which hurried to a direct confrontation. "But what is it? We see simultaneous jabs hitting both fighters' faces, it doesn't seem like Heavy D! has intention of keep picking up blows." The fight was narrated in a form that the fighters' spirit was reflected from the ring, Jason went to the right surrounding his opponent on a chance of defining the match and dodged a jab grazed. "It seems like your pride won't let you fall without a true fight." The boxer retorted with another sequence of jabs in the air trying to bring Heavy D! to the corner again and so finish the fight, he dodged to the right and tried to hit the moving opponent with a one-two sequence that seemed to dictate a new pace in the fight. "You're about to go down and you still think to compensate the lost time?" Jason received two blows that were reasonable and went up searching for the final result with two jabs and a straight right, jabs that were blocked and a right blow that was dodged on the retreat from Heavy D! to the corner. "You have just signed your own sentence!" A left hook was the great boost from the fighter which was surprised by an unexpected look. "I don't see fear on his eyes, quite the opposite, I see contempt!" Before the blow hit the opponent his face was unprotected and his jaw already felt the uppercut from Heavy D!'s left fist that boosted quickly countering the before planned blow. "If you have a pace..." Jason was a little stunned but didn't see the flight of his adversary from the corner, but he saw someone willing to fight him on his own strategy. "...It's enough to foresee it and use it on my favor!" two right hooks collided on both heads hitting the left face simultaneous, a quicky jab distanced the two, when Jason was about to back his left arm, he saw Heavy D! boosting himself forward like he already read his next move that would be a straight right blocked on the way followed by their faces clashing in a close combat, a close fighting. After touching forehead to forehead both fighters now delivered hooks having as target their body, hitting this way the liver and the abdomen on a sequence of three repeated blows. Soon after the moments with their foreheads touched each other, the two took a short distance continuing on a close fighting where the target from both was the face. Heavy D! had a well worked defense using the shoulders to block and the upper body movement to dodge and counter Jason Martinez which was with his body as an 'easier' target standing on his foot and trying to attack from above with some decisive blow. "That was the so awaited moment, you have become predictable." Heavy D!'s counters were precise and just when Jason was trying to hit him, he was caught with uppers on the face and was hit on the body with a left hook where the fighter seemed to feel a great pain and an energy aura could be seen around Heavy D! which saw his opponent falling for the first time. "Down!"

Jason Martinez fell with his face on the ground what seemed to be a TKO the referee decided to wait and start the countdown to see if would have any reaction. "That last blow was not from an ordinary person, I'll not be satisfied if I don't fight a worthy fight with this opponent, besides, I can't be satisfied with a loss having the victory so close from my hands." The body reacted and raised up as mechanically, the referee then stopped to analyze the fighter realizing that the same was feeling difficulties to remain standing. "Let me continue, referee... You can get out of my way..." Jason walked backward to keep the balance and lifted his guard with a wounded face and starting to bleed, a fact that did not prevent Heavy D! from continue the fight on his own way, he went forward the referee and gave a quick jab on his opponent's face that had supported on the strings until he received a right hook which sent him to the ground, the referee then held the fighter Heavy D! and the bell from the end of the fight sounded. The fight was over and the ring was invaded by assistants and a stretcher to take the loser that had raised up the last time with two ribs broken.

The story from that night didn't end well to Heavy D!, that even after a victory had seriously wounded and apparently killed a fighter during the match, after that, Heavy D! was forced to depart from boxing competitions thanks to his numb behavior not letting the referee stop the fight when it could already be over. Back to the present... Six years have passed and Heavy D! read the invitation from the envelope that was sent to him making him remember the time he used to fight. "We are opening King of Fighters 1994 following the time honored custom. This year we will adopt a special rule of competition between teams of three fighters. That's all... [R]." After reading the invitation he got excited with the news and asked himself where he would find more two fighters, one he already got in mind. "Who could be R?" he asked himself while he took the phone to invite a friend for a visit.
