G.A.W. | First Round

"Welcome to those back at home! We are live at the Hyper Galaxy Arena where we will commence the first match of the King Of Fighters tournament. I am Ichiro Yoshimiro..." Ichiro introduced himself.

         "...And I'm Bruce Mccain! I seriously can't wait to see fists fly, Ichi! Now, Team G.A.W. may have the advantage with the slow but very heavy hitters K.O.D. and Antonov! Ramon can handle the speed department if he can stay close on the opposition," Bruce listed.

         Ichigo nodded, "Indeed, but Team Vybe can zone them with Momoko and Tyani if they need to; Momo herself said that she got a few tricks up her sleeves this time around. Ty and Duck King themselves can adapt to any situation, but it may not see it to them the best results at times. Momoko can also use her agility and speed to stay ahead; however, it will turn dire for her if she goes against K.O.D. and Antonov, and either of them get their hands on her."

         "Agreed, pal. Let the fists and the shittalking begin!" Bruce shouted as the crowd erupted into cheers.

         With Team Vybe...

         They were in a huddle. "Aight, now they have the strength advantage. Momo, you know that you can run circles around them, right?" Ty reminded.

         Momoko nodded, "Hm! Momo can do it!"

         "Duck, we just gonna have to use the environment to save ourselves. I have my claws and bombs but they can do so much," Ty informed, turning his claws on.

         Duck was adjusting his headset and pressed a button on his goggles, "Now, we're rolling! Wus good, Quackpack?!? It's your boy, Duck King! We're live with the first KOF match!!!"

         "Duck, you should have been rollin'! Focus, man!" Ty demanded, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him roughly.

         Duck jutted a thumbs up sheepishly, "Oh, fo' 'sho, man! Sorry!"

         "Now, who's up first?" Ty questioned.

         Momoko raised her hand, "Me! Please, me!" They broke the huddle as Momoko took off her sandals and stepped to the middle of the ring.

         "You got this, girl!" Ty encouraged, fist pumping.

         Duck King cupped his hands to his mouth while P-Chan chirped enthusiastically, "Make us proud, Momo!"

         Momoko placed a hand on her hip and moved a v sign to her eye, "Here comes Momoko!"

         "Hey, long time no see, pequeno! Let's go absolutely freakin' wild, yeah!?" Ramon convinced warmly, holding his hand out to Momoko.

         "Hehe, likewise! Good luck!" Momoko responded cheerfully, shaking Ramon's hand.

         "A wonderful display of sportsmanship between the two combatants!" Ichiro praised.

         Bruce nodded, "We love to see it!"

         "Round one...Ready...GO!!!"

         Momoko and Ramon rushed at each other. As he is close enough, Ramon swung his leg low quickly to attempt to trip up Momoko. Momoko's leg furthest from her left the ground first, picking up momentum. Then both of her arms were quickly on the ground as two of her legs were in the air, rolling her out of the sweeping leg.

         Instantly, Momoko stretched her arms out, pink energy building up at her palms. "Psycho ball!" Momoko screamed, crossing her arms to send out a pink sphere of energy to Ramon.

         "A psycho ball!?" Bruce remarked, leaning in for a closer look.

         Ichiro smiled, "It seems that she has been making strides during her downtime away from KOF."

         Thinking fast, Ramon leaped over the approaching sphere by holding his legs together along with his knees bent to his chest with a back rotation. Seizing the opportunity, Momoko rushed to Ramon, crouched down before jumping in a inverted forward rotation of her own.

         "Psycho Flip!" Momoko shouted, hitting Ramon with her dominant foot as she finished her rotation.

         "Atta, girl, Momo," Ty clapped.

         "That's our girl!" Duck cheered.

         "Blyad!" Antonov facepalmed.

         KOD cupped his hands to his mouth, "Come on, Ramon! You're better than this, amigo!"

         Momoko landed as Ramon fell from the air but before he crash landed, he bounced off the ground and use his momentum to move away from Momoko. Momoko herself is sprinting towards Ramon, intending to follow up.

         Suddenly, Ramon leaped sideways, spreading his whole body, at Momoko, catching her off guard. Momoko is unable to withstand the weight of Ramon as he crushed her to the ground. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he stood up and grabbed Momoko by her biceps to bring her to her feet also.

         Ramon quickly pivoted on his lead leg and brought up his rear leg as he turn rapidly, throwing his lead leg to Momoko's head with a jump. This sent the young psychic spiraling away on her back roughly. Wincing, Momoko peered through her eyes to see Ramon sprinting towards; her eyes bulge as she rolled out of the way.

         Ramon slid to a stop as Momoko flipped to her stomach and threw the back of her leg to Ramon's trailing leg with a spin. Ramon stumbled to his side. Momoko captialized by bringing her kicking leg up and across her body in a diagonal direction, hooking her heel to Ramon's head like a scorpion's stinger.

         WHAP!!

         "OOF!" Bruce winced.

         Ichiro cringed, "OOF, indeed."

         Ramon rolled from the kick as he staggered to his feet. Momoko sprang to her feet from her back and rushed to Ramon. The luchadore readied himself for the psycho soldier. Ramon swung his flattened hand towards Momoko's neck. She moved herself out of the way. Momoko quickly retaliated by standing up and turning her torso; her back leg raises up as she swung it at the apex of the turn in a straight path.

         Ramon grabbed her leg before locking it in place. As she hopped to try to get loose, Ramon spun inward of Momoko's leg, causing her to fall off balance and tumble to the ground in a twist. Again, Ramon hoisted her up to her feet before swinging his elbow upward to her chin to send her flying.

         "Damn!" Duck cursed as P-Chan shooked his fist in anger.

         Ty crossed his fingers, "Come on, Momoko, don't give in. You got this."

         Recovering from her fall, Momoko looked to see Ramon closing in on her fast. Momoko braced her herself as pink energy swirled around her. "Psycho Harpoon!" She launched her full body into a lunging, spinning headbutt. Ramon was too close to stop as Momoko tackled him hard, taking him off his feet. Even before he landed, Momoko regained her footing, turned her back towards him, and gave him another inverted forward flipping kick.

         "Psycho Flip!" Momoko bellowed.

         Antonov pulled at his cowboy hat, "Gav-no, gav-no, GAV-NO!"

         "Ai, dios mio! This is getting hard to watch," KOD moaned, pounding his fists on his mask.

         Before Ramon could even land, Momoko spun in place, placed a hand on her hip, and flashed a v sign with a smile, "Leave it to me!"

         She then pounces onto Ramon, making him roll along with her as she kicked back into the air while she on the ground. Pink energy charged as she put her hands together, "Psycho..."

         "What's she about to do?" Bruce pondered.

         "Looks like her Climax Super," Ichiro guessed.

         Momoko then fired numerous pink energy balls into the air, following Ramon as he reached the apex of his launch. The balls formed a huge sphere around him as Momoko then clapped her hands together fiercely, "...ESPERSTORM!!!"

         All at once, the energy balls honed in on Ramon, causing a huge explosion of stars. As Ramon crashed back down to the ground, Momoko giggled, leaned slightly towards the camera, and waved.

         "K.O.!" The announcer yelled.

         "Awwwwww!" Antonov and KOD groaned in frustration.

         "Daaaaaaaamn!" Ty and Duck yelled in awe.

         "Ooh, tough luck for Team G.A.W.," Ichigo remarked.

         Bruce nodded, "Yep, they better focus or it's over for them even before it starts."

         "Team G.A.W., send out your next member immediately," A voice over the intercom ordered.

         Antonov flicked his cowboy hat and lumbered to the center to face Momoko. "The king is back in the ring, baby!" He announced as the audience deafened the stadium around him.

The first round...begins!!!
