Wade: I heard your call for help. I'm here to answer it.

Suiryu:<gasps> Crimson Cyclone...

Wade: you fought hard on your own. Let me take care of the rest.

Suiryu still on the ground turned around to see Wade walking towards Bakuzan.

Suiryu: I can't believe he came back.

Bakuzan: a hero? You, little man?! You've got to be shitting me! More like a- wait a minute! Crimson Cyclone?!

Wade: Suiryu said that so not sure why you're surprised.

Bakuzan: shut your face! This time around, Bakuzan the monster will be the victor! My death blows are about to rain down upon you! Dark Hell Assassination Art! Devil Cry Low Kick!

Bakuzan went to kick Wade but Wade jumped up as he coated his fist on red aura and Kaioken and one punch kill Bakuzan as Suiryu couldn't believe his eyes. Wade just killed a Dragon Level Threat in a single attack.

Wade: his bloodlust was a lot. No point on talking to him.

Suiryu really couldn't believe his eyes as Bakuzan's corpse fell.

Wade:<walks over and kneels next to him> you okay?

Suiryu; kind of.

Wade: here let me help you.

Wade puts a hand on Suiryu and his body glowed as Suiryu healed a bit.

Wade: there we go.

Suiryu: I feel less pain.

Wade: yeah sorry, healing takes a bit of my energy and I have a feeling there's another monster nearby.

Suiryu: thanks for saving me and everything. Why did you come back?

Wade: you made me angry but that doesn't mean I won't save you when you need saving. I'm not heartless.

Suiryu: oh... seeing this power... what were you doing here? Some undercover mission got the Hero Association?

Wade: no, not at all. To be honest, I was stopping a buddy of mine from entering since he would have gotten an alias and wore a wig and gotten disqualified. I didn't want him to go through that so I entered the tournament instead.

Suiryu: I see.

Wade: anyway, better take you and them to the hospital. Any monsters nearby?

Suiryu: well... no...

Wade: you're lying. There's no way Bakuzan did all this. Him and those other martial artists who are monsters were human during the tournament plus I can see the corpses of three monsters so... there's another monster still out there. Gonna get rid of him first. <stands up>

Suiryu; Crimson Cyclone! Hold on! Please, you shouldn't go out there. There's this group raising hell and they're looking for you.

Wade: for me? Now that I think about it... some monsters did mention the Monster Association and how they wanted to bring me back for a reward of some kind. Is that the group?

Suiryu; yes. And what's worse is that they have the ability to transform humans into monsters, too.

Wade: that explains how some were humans during the tournament but now are monsters.

Suiryu; it's dangerous out there right now. I think it's best if we lay low. Gouketsu's out there. We should avoid him.

Wade: Gouketsu?
