Iori took note of the current situation, remaining quiet now, before thrusting a strike forward with his leg, towards King's stomach, trying to knock her over, so he could take advantage of her having to get back to her feet to strike with a second kick, then leap back to avoid a reprisal.

1:47 Remaining Kyo Kusanagi's jacket blew in the wind violently as the air current picked up. He stood proud and ready--juxtaposed next to Iori Yagami, who was fighting with all his heart. Kyo shot Iori a confident glance, as if to ask, "You're not wimpin' out on me, are you?" That's when he rushed forward and attacked Kasumi. She was battered but prepared to give her all. And just ask Kyo raised his fist, she took an ancient Akido stance. Kasumi grabbed Kyo's fist and flipped him to the ground. The initial impact did no damage--Kyo had long since learned how to fall safetly--, however Kasumi held her fist high, poised to deliver the final blow. Kyo gasped as she burried her palm into his chest; the pain was intense. Kasumi smiled and began to walk away, confident that she had won. But a short while later she turned in shock and her Kyo's battle cry: "Take this!" A hot spark of flame errupted from the ground and zoomed towards Kasumi. She was overwhelmed. "DOWN!" yelled the announcer. Kyo stood and watched Iori finish off King. He knew better than to interupt his rival. King made a valiant effort, punching at Iori then turning around to kick a sharp wave of energy at him. "Venom Strike!" cried King. Both attacks missed however, and it was now Iori's turn. He jump kicked her in the stomach, then kicked her on the ground, finishing her off. "DOWN!! That's it ladies and gentlemen! Team Kusanagi has won the first round!!" screamed the announcer. The crowd cheered in a deafening roar. Meanwhile "Power Charge!!" roared the Hungry Wolf. K's body slamed hard into thewall, creating a crack in it. Though he was clearly injured, K' was far from done. He jumped and kicked at Terry and tried to floor sweep him. But Terry was quick and agile, just like a wolf would be. His partner Gato was fairing better now as well, having caught his second wind. Gato hopped from wall to wall and lept onto Maxima's back. Then with a subtil twist of the neck, he put Maxima's lights out. The giant fell to the ground, all 400 or so lbs of him, and made an earth shaking BOOM. Maxima groaned softly, but would not get up again. Gato wasn't sure if he'd paralyzed his opponent. But it was of no concern. The rules were against killing--not maiming. "DOWN!" yelled the announcer. Although it looked like Team Garou had their match in the bag, K' only smirked, wiping the blood from his chin. Could he still have some tricks up his sleeve?

"You are a big fool" - said Gato in an disappointed tone as he went out of the room to the main sumo arena, just before he got to the door he looked back at Maxima's body. Gato speaks again in changing his tone into an angry one - "Funny papers... huh?"
As he goes out he just sits in the floor with his legs crossed and watches silently and patiently at the Hungry Wolf's fight.

Iori just stood silent as the crowd roared in delight at the battle. His gaze fell onto Shingo, before he looked over to Kyo. He now had his hands in his pockets, acting like the whole ordeal was as casual as a conversation.
"Do you think our partner was ready for a fight? He was brought down pretty quickly..."
Iori has before been one to have a callous attitude about concern for others, but the only people in the world he truly had a negative attitude about, still ALIVE at any rate, were Kyo, and the people who wielded the power of Orochi falsely. The former because of a centuries-long feud against the Kusanagi clan, and the latter because they were a weak mockery of the Yagami clan. Shingo was part of neither group, so Iori would rather not see a violent end to his life because of lack of fighting experience.

"Whats so funny" Terry couldn't help but wonder then he realized that he couldn't hear Gato and Maxima and turned to see Gato walk out "I need to pull my weight around here" but Terry knew what K' could do he need to get out of his way, one because the fire had already burned his favorite jacket and two fire hurt alot. He leaped into the air hoping to catch K' off guard again "Burning knuckle!!"

1:17 Remaining As soon as the battle was over, an army of medical staff stormed the roof. No sooner had Iori made his bemused comment than the nurses were tending to Shingo's bruses and bumps. Some nurses saw to his wounds as well. Kyo walked over to Shingo--who had been revived with smelling salts-- and said, "Have a nice nap, buddy?" Shingo gasped and clenched his fist. "Uhh, I lost!? Whaa?! Oh no master Kyo, please forgive me!! Uuggghhh!!" Shingo clenched his fists harder and stamped the ground. Kyo patted him on the back and replied, "Relax Shingo. We won the match anyway--we're going on to the 2nd round." "Buut!" Shingo started. "Next time just hang back. The only reason I had you on the team was because we needed a third fighter. But hey, let's go celebrate with a night on the town!" said Kyo, walking off. Shingo grinned then eagerly followed his master. As for Iori, he returned downstairs, where there was no considerably less media attention. He would not be bothered and could meditate on ways to destroy Kyo. It was then that he felt the presence of a powerful fighter in the room. A little red-head girl ran in giggling, "I wanna look around more, big brother!" "Damn it, Anna! We have to get going!" yelled the red-headed boy following her. Anna was listening to her iPod and dancing idolly around the room. Her brother grabber her arm; the tall man with the swords, Gouloud, stood in the background, saying nothing. "Come on. Let's do what we came here to do..." said the boy. "Zeez, I'll get the van. You and Anna go around back, through the kitchen." said Gouloud. The party dispersed quietly. Iori found all of this highly suspicious. Out of all the fighters who had appeared for the tounament, he had never seen these three. They were Team Revival, and they had gotten a free ride to the 2nd round... Meanwhile Gato watched in silence as Terry fought against K'. His eyes followed the quick movements, carefully calculating each fighter's strength. Terry seemed fatigued, but K' was hard to read. He showed litter emotion--even as his teammates had been defeated. The only thing that Gato could decern from K' was that he was preparing for something deadly. Terry quickly circled his opponent, keeping out of his reach. Then he leapt into the air, landing behind K'. His fist burst with blue energy as he charged forward: "Burning Knuckle!!" K' frowned, putting his hands in his pockets. "You are doomed..." said K'. He quickly teleported behind Terry, lowering his fist and saying, "...you are totally DOOMED!" An explosive blast knocked Terry away. The Hungry Wolf rolled across the floor, bleeding from his forehead. Though still conscious, he knew he was in trouble. (OOC: Terry loses 1 white stone.)Terry was panting. Gato only watch, transfixed by the display of power. K' walked slowly towards Terry. He said nothing....

Gato stands up and grunts to K'
"Don't get too excited already, or have you forgotten you still have to pass me!!" Gato looks at K' with a face with no emotion. Even if K' is strong ha has taken hits of Terry and still has to face an unscratched opponent.
"Who do you prefer to be the one to beat the crap out of you?" - Gato is in an open, yet defensive stance.

"Hnn, the sooner this threat that was forseen is over with, the sooner I can get back to killing Kyo.."
Iori got up to follow after Team Revival, to try to confirm if his suspicions were correct. If they weren't important, nothing lost. If they were, he intended to try and end the threat right there, so he could focus more on getting through the tournament and killing Kyo, and less on keeping an eye out for danger. Besides, it might be a good warm-up for Kyo.

0:47 Remaining The air was tense inside the abandoned sumo training facility. Gato had taken a defensive stance, ready to drive his attacker back if need be. K' seemed unstoppable, but Gato could recognize that their battle had worn him down. Perhaps now was the time to strike... Just when Gato was begining to contemplate a reasonable counter-attack, Terry Bogard rose from the floor. He was not done yet. Blood leaking from his lip, Terry raised his fist and shouted, "Power Geyser!!" K' turned around just in time to see Terry strike the floor with his fist. Somewhere deep inside of him, a tremendous energy surged and shot through the ground. It errupted right under K', blowing into the ceiling. The warrior crashed into the ceiling and fell to the floor hard, smoking. Terry gasped for air; suddenly the medical crew rushed into the room. "DOWN!! Team Garou has taken the win." yelled the announcer. Gato heard K' groaning weakly--he was still alive, thankfully. Any more powerful an attack and Terry might have killed him. The medical staff tended to their wounds and brought Mary back to consciousness. Now, having secured their first win, Team Garou made their way back to their hotel rooms, which was a short walk from the plaza. The now awake Blue Mary rubbed her head, still groggy from being out so long. "Uuhh, man that guy did a number on me. Hey guys, can you fill me in on what went on while I was out." asked Mary weakly. Just then, the trio spotted two members of the Outlaw Team: Billy Kane and Shen Woo. They were standing in front of the hotel entrance and appeared to be arguing about something. Gato recognized Kane, having been on a team with him in a previous tournament. Terry was familar with Shen as well; the two had scuffled during the last tournament. Oddly enough, Team Outlaw was their next opponent for tomorrow's match. Meanwhile Iori followed Team Revival up until they got into their black van and sped off. From their, he chose to follow them by rooftop, spying them from above. He followed them a resonable distance before they reached, of all places, the Kitsuro Art Museum. What on earth could they want from there? It was freezing cold outside and the time was close to midnight. Iori saw them park in a shady parking lot, then move to the back of the museum where he lost sight of them for a while. At last he saw a grappling hook shoot up the side of the building. Zeez and Gouloud climbed up and moved towards the glass skylining on the roof of the museum. They proceeded to cut a hole in the glass with a special tool, then climbed down into the dark museum. "Did you get Anna in saftely?" asked Zeez, going down. "Yes, young master. She should be disabling the security system at this very moment." responded Gouloud. Iori was on the adjacent building. There was no clear way to get to the museum--other than to jump.... He saw the hole that the warriors had cut into the roof, but there was also a staff door on the roof.

Ideas came to mind of how to answer Mary's question. Telling her how Terry did quite a show being beated up to the end or maybe telling her how he defeated the leftovers of the guy of the stupid sideburns but just two words came from his mouth.
"Not much... "
Gato sighs and closes his eyes. He remembers leaving him in a deserted area a year ago. He left him fighting the Yamazaki freak. The picture is still fresh if not looking like a watered down version of that day.
"And I meet again that thug."
Gato completely ignores the pair of thugs and keeps on past them.

Iori was beginning to wonder why he even followed them, though he was interested in knowing what they were up to. Since they already gave him a way to get inside, though, he figured he'd use it, first jumping for the roof of the building, before heading over to the hole, to look inside before heading in. He wasn't about to stroll into a trap.

"DOWN!! Team Garou has taken the win."
Terry fell to his knees he was exhausted the fight had taken alot out of him. The medical team came and healed Blue Mary and his wounds. "Uuhh, man that guy did a number on me. Hey guys, can you fill me in on what went on while I was out." asked Mary weakly. "I beat K' and Gao took out the other two".

The first matches were over and Team Garou was ready for some well-deserved rest. None were more tired that Terry and Mary. Their wounds had been healed but they were both booshed. Only the stoic Gato remained fully alert; only he remained vaguely on guard as they passed the two members of Team Outlaw. "...and what about my car!? Did you ever stop to think something like this might happen?!" yelled Billy Kane. "How was I supposed to know he was following me!?" yelled Shen Woo. Billy was about to fire a rebutal, but suddenly noticed Gato. He smiled, getting an idea. Quickly he grabbed Gato's shoulder and said: "Hey kung-fu man! Gato, old buddy! How's it going? Good I hope! Look, why don't we just let your pals go about their merry way for five minutes. My um.....associate and I, would like to have a word with you. In private. Uh, don't worry. It's nothing serious. Just five minutes of your time!" Shen crossed his arms and frowed, but said nothing. By this time, Terry and Mary were almost to the door. The receptionist was greeting them. Meanwhile The wind howled as it passed across the vacant roof tops like a razor. Iori felt his skin tingling with anticipation. Slowly he moved forward--then broke into a sprint. He lept across to the other building with ease, landing not far from the hole that the strangers had made in the roof of the museum. He peaked in after them and saw the two of them split up in the museum. They moved freely, suggesting that the laser sensors had already been deactivated. From what Iori could see, the young boy, Zeez went into the staff area, while Gouloud went downstairs.
