City C Super Stadium No POV

Wade was standing in front of the of the other Martial Artists, at least the ones that aren't in the hospital, holding a big trophy and a big check. He had a ring girl next to him as well.

Announcer: congratulations on winning the championship, Crimson Cyclone. That final match was a really rough one, but, in the end, you still won unscathed!

Wade:<thought> "unscathed"? Yeah right. Suiryu is strong, good thing I've been training my body just how I trained my powers and skills.

Announcer; and now an announcement for stadium standees. We've been informed that monsters have appeared outside the arena.

Wade: in that case, I need to go. Snek, Lightning Max, I leave the citizens here to you.

Snek: us?

Max: after what you saw in the tournament?

Wade: doesn't matter what happened in the tournament, you're Heroes as well. Can I count on you both?

Snek: yes you can.

Max: of course you can.

Wade: good.

Wade looked at the fighters as they all looked back at him.

Wade: nice fighting out there. Let's do it again sometime.

Lin Lin and the Ring Girl both blushed at his handsome smile as Wade flew away towards City J. A minute after, trouble started.

Man: what are those?!

Woman: look! Up there!

The crowd was clamoring as three Monster Crows landed holding Dave, Rosie, and Bazuzu.

Announcer; Monsters!

Zakos; it's Rosie, Dave, and Bazuzu! They've got them.

Announcer; the competitors that were taken to the hospital!

Benpatsu; screw a bunch of this! <starts to run away> you guys can take care of those things. I'm out of here! Later!

Sourface: hey, get back here!

Benpatsu didn't make it far as Gouketsu hit him hard and picked him up before he tossed him back onto the ring.

Gouketsu: so, have we got all the tournament fighters? <steps into the ring> nothing but scrubs here. How the martial arts have fallen. I had intel that Crimson Cyclone was here... where is he? Hmm. Whatever. Some other monster can capture him. All of you will become monsters.

All the citizens in the crowd ran away from the place.

Gouketsu; even the refuse of the martial arts world like you could be useful as monsters.

Lightning Max: as monsters, huh?

Snek: we can't let Crimson Cyclone down. You'll have to go through us heroes first!

Gouketsu didn't have trouble kicking Lighting Max and Snakebite Snek out of the arena.

Gouketsu: is that that the end of them?

Sourface; just one kick?

Zakos: Crimson Cyclone pick the worst time to leave.

Gouketsu; I am Gouketsu of the Monster Association. I have not come here to take your lives today.

Zakos: Gouketsu?! No way!

Announcer: the champion of the first Super Fight?!

Gouketsu; you recognizing me simplifies things. You know resistance is futile.
