Legend of Ashiura (7)
written by Crescent Prince

        It was like weeks after the match between Kaori and gang, and Gunmeister had neither seen them nor Master Sycia. She had asked Master Kula about her, and all she got was information she had gotten from Jonathan. One faithful day, an odd looking letter was addressed to her.

        It read: The Annual SNK’s King Of Fighters competition would be held soon. Some of the finest fighters have been invited to participate in this event, and we hope that you would join us too. We wish you all the best. Thank you.

        Her eyes were so wide that they might just pop out anytime. Inside the envelope, a $20 arcade credits card was enclosed, with the other necessary information.

        Finally, The Annual KOF Competition… Where the hell was I last year???

        Master Sycia and her unbeatable Iori, what’s next? Where is she?

        Will I get kicked out in the first round?? Or do I still stand a chance against the mysterious Kyoji Shirakani?

        These questions raced in Gunmeister’s mind. Who can provide the answer??

        She never got her answers. And the competition date came so soon, you can even finish saying the sentence:

Damn, cut the crap and get to the freaking story!!! (oops, sorry)

        Many people gathered at the stadium, where thousands of machines were located for the prestigious competition. The heat was on, and there was a stench in the packed grounds. (What else when all of those people are sweating like dogs in the hot June Sun? Use you brain, use your brain…)

        Suddenly, a booming voice came from the loudspeakers.

        “Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Annual King of Fighters Competition. Before I announce the official opening of this event, I would like to explain the rules. Each contestant is only allowed to challenge 5 opponents. If He or She wins, 3 points will be gained, otherwise 5 points will be deducted. The credits card would store all information of the respective contestants and the top 100 would enter the Big Thing. Good Luck, and let the games begin!!!"

        Just as Gunmeister was trying to digest what was being said, a pleasant looking girl tapped her on the shoulder.

        “Yes, can I help you?”

        “I am MoonLily, I challenge you to King Of Fighters.”

        Gunmeister looked at the girl once more. She isn’t serious right?? She looks more like a TV actress to me…

        MoonLily turned to Gunmeister, “Oh yeah, I am Master Sycia’s disciple, sent to show you that you have wasted your time here…”

        Gulp, Master Sycia’s disciple?? What will be the outcome of Gunmeister?
