Oswald smiled as Terry lept from the building to retrieve Shen. The Lone Wolf bravely angled himself towards the balcony of his room and landed saftely. He then bolted for the 4th floor. Meanwhile, Gato was left to guard Mary's safety. He slowly paced about Oswald, sending forth an ice cold stare. Oswald watched him for a long while--listened to his comments in silence. Then slowly he smiled, a toothy grin. "Do I think I'm good? Let me ask you Mr. Futabu, do you think I am good? Heh heh, if you did not, then you would not pace about me like a frightened animal." said Oswald. And with that, he threw a razor sharp playing card straight for Gato's head. The warrior's lightning quick reflexes kept him out of any real danger; however a small cut did appear on his cheek. It bleed slightly. "You just bring that fool to me. He has information that I require..." said Oswald. Meanwhile Iori was begining to see more and more of Zeez's fighting ability. The staff wielding youth was determined to destroy Iori as quickly as possible. He flipped over and behind Iori, quickly gaining some distance. Likewise Iori quickly manuevered himself from behind the counter, just in time to dodge another swipe from Zeez's staff. Two more swipes met only air. On his fouth attempt, Zeez tried to stab Iori with the staff. Instinctiually, Iori caught the pole under his arm and twisted it backwards--yanking it from Zeez's hand and onto the floor. "Uughh!" he cried. The young warrior was now disarmed. He stood gritting his teeth angrily, waiting for the next move... Elsewhere Terry finally reached the room when Shen and his teammates were staying. He could tell it was their room by the loud, roudy shouts that eminated. He entered and the room went silent. "What the heck are you doing here? Want to get your beat down early? Just couldn't wait?" asked Billy Kane. Terry shrugged off the remarks; he'd prove himself later. He explained the situation to the three fighters and all eyes shifted to Shen. "Pheeh.....whatever. I'll go. But if he's some whimp, then you're on your own. I only wanna fight strong opponents." said Shen. With that, the two fighters, Terry and Shen made their way to the roof. Shen made sure to let Terry know that he didn't give a flying flip about Mary's safety. He was only in this for the fight. All of a sudden a group of drunk teenagers appeared on the stairs above them. They were blocking the way. There were three guys and two girls. And from the look of all th empty bottles, it looked as though they were pretty wasted....

Gato wipes the blood in his face with his thumb as he keeps staring at Oswald.
"He'll come... but meanwhile you could show me your superiority... unless, of course, you are afraid. Is it comfortable for you to fight behind the protective body of a woman?" - Gato's kept his voice calm yet trying to piss Oswald off.
"So, are you up to the challenge or just a wimp!?"

Iori smirked as he took the weapon from Zeez, then landed, still in battle stance.
"Well? I'm waiting. Or is your bravado giving way to common sense?"
To be truthful, Iori was hoping Zeez was sincere about his mention of godly power. At least it'd be a good warm-up to Kyo if nothing else then. But this was losing it's interest, and he saw no worth in this opponent. If taunting Zeez into action wouldn't goad him into more of a fight, he was simply going to end this, and possibly teach Zeez fighting wasn't a show. A good swift kick should knock some sense into the boy, or at least knock the notion out of his head he was better than Iori.

"Well? I'm waiting. Or is your bravado giving way to common sense?" said Iori, feeling confident. Zeez smiled ruthlessly and took stance. His eyes sparked purple and suddenly Iori dropped to his knees, overcome by some strange force. His mind became a blur--it was hard to think. He was completely powerless. Zeez stood up and folded his arms. Iori could feel his find being seeped into and controled. "You talk too much, Yagami..."said Zeez, walking off. In the next few minutes, Iori struggled on the floor to reclaim control of his body, but couldn't. He watched as Zeez and Anna moved back and forth. They appeared to be looking for something. Suddenly the sound of sirens could heard outside. It was not long before the three criminals made their escape. "Let's go! We'll have to find the Urn another day!" said Gouloud. "But we're so close! We can't just--" cried Anna. "Nevermind! Go, now!" yelled Zeez. And with that, the three dashed into the shadows and disaeared. Zeez's control eased up gradually and Iori found that he could move once more. Though he would have to make his escape as well; it would be difficult explaining his situation to the police. Meanwhile Terry and Shen had made their up the stairs, but were met with a road block of drunken teens. Terry was slightly aggitated by the hold up, but made his way carefully through the crowd. He couldn't help but bump into a few of them on the way up. "Hey maan! Watch were you're steppin'!" yelled one of the youths. "Yo check it out! These guys are a bunch of boneheads! Just look at that hair, hahaha!" said another. Terry did a good job of ignoring them. Shen however, had a short temper. Upon hearing their comments, he turned and grabbed one of them by the shirt collar and threw him against the wall. "Ugghh! Woah!" yelled the young man. "You little punks! How dare you!?" yelled Shen, cracking his knuckles. The two other young men in the group stood up and surrounded Shen. One of them had a bat. Terry realized that if he was going to get Shen to the roof in time, he'd have to disslove this situation fast... Elsewhere Gato had issued a challenge to Oswald. At first the older man gave no idication of being interested. Then he smirked visciously, dropping Mary's body to the ground. Oswald stepped over Mary, putting his hands in his pockets. "You shouldn't cross me, boy. Your idea of a challange and mine are totally different things. Hahaha...but I am bored. So prepare yourself!" said Oswald. He took his hand out of his pocket and tossed a playing card into the air. The card wisked around in the air, seeming to have a life of its own. It shot down at incredible speed--Gato quickly sidestepped out of the way. Oswald rushed Gato. The warrior barely had a second to breath as he clashed with the lightning fast Oswald, who wielded razor sharp playing cards as though they were daggers. Oswald took two quick strikes at Gato, who carefully dodged. Oswald tossed a card downwards and it caught Gato in the leg. Blood scented the air as a fresh wound opened. "Haha haha haa..." laughed Oswald. (OOC: Gato loses 1 white stone.)

"Ergh...next time, I'm going to break him.."
Iori was, bluntly, not amused at what just happened and his 'loss' to Zeez. Next time he faces Zeez, he plans to take him out before he gets a chance to try that trick again. But right now, he fled as they had, to get back to the tournament, careful to evade any obstacles in his way while maintaining that speed.

A guttural sound came from Gato's mouth as the last card landed on his leg. Gato drew near his face the blood stained hand with which he held his leg for a seconds before looking up to Oswald in an angry, yet amazed, expression.
"I didn't see that one coming..."
Gato's fury exploded as a explosion under his feet announced his next move. Gato would keep his distance and while midair react according to Oswald's response, but most likely he would prepare to slam the opponent's face with an air blast.

Terry Bogard had had enough delays. His friend and teammate Mary was being held hostage by a mysterious assailant that very moment. And it looked like Shen was about to start a street fight with a bunch of random teenagers. Trying to quickly dissolve the situation, Terry grabbed the bat held by one of the teens and snapped it with a single punch. "This isn't a toy! Shen get moving--you all get sober!" Terry said, walking up the steps. Shen smirked at Terry's assertivness. He backhanded the other teenager and followed Terry up the steps. "Hahaha, you're really in a hurry to save that broad! What, do you have a thing for her? She's definately not my type, that's for sure. I can't believe this fighter thought that she and I were together!" said Shen. The two raced up the stairs and made their way onto the roof. They arrived just in time to see Gato strike at Oswald. He flipped into the air and sent a blast of high pressure air towards Oswald. Being unable to actually see the attack (especially while wearin sunglasses at night time) Oswald tripped as the ground exploded under him. However he quickly got back to his feet--he seemed unphased by the attack. Oswald raced after Gato, who ran along the edge of the building, and took a swipe with his playing cards. Gato flipped away and landed right next to Terry and Shen. It was now three on one. Oswald smiled at the change of events. "Ha ha ha. So you finally crawled out of your hole, eh Shen? Ash told me about the knowledge you hold. Now tell me, where are the Dragon Pills? Tell me, or you die Shen!!" said Oswald. Shen spat on the ground and replied: "You wanna know about that stuff? Is that all? Well...I don't give a damn about that stuff. All I care about.....is fighting!! So if you want the answer, then you gotta beat me!!" With that, the two fighters charged into combat while Gato and Terry watched on. Oswald had lost his attention of Mary. They gathered her unconscious body and looked on. Perhaps now was the time to leave Shen to his fate. The fighters left and made their way to their room. But not before alerting security to what had happened. Later they would learn that by the time the security guards got their, the fight was already over and both fighters had disappeared. Meanwhile Iori made his way out of the museum without being seen. He took it that Zeez and his teammates had found what they were looking for, but were not able to steal it in time. No matter. Iori would deal them tomorrow. If they were truely the threat that Chizuru had warned them about, then it saved him the trouble of looking... Iori overheard the police talking. Apparently they had identified what the robbers were trying to steal: an ancient Urn of unknown origin. Since the mayor owned the Urn and it was considered very valuable, they would have the object moved to his mansion next to the stadium, for safe keeping. The Next Day The announcer screamed to a roaring crowd: "Welcome everyone!! We are about to begin the next round of the King of Fighters 2004 tournament! There are still four more teams in the running--it's anyone's guess as to who the new champions will be! Our first match up of the day will be Team Garou against Team Outlaws!! Our next contenders will be Team Kusanagi vs. Team Revival!!" The crowd in the audio room went wild. People all over the world were paying attention to the live news feed. The world was gripped with anticipation. The announcer continued: "This time the matches will be a little different, ladies and gentlemen! These next fights will have an additional element to them. Each fighter will enter their stage of combat from a different place. It's up that fighter to reach their teammates and regroup! However, they must also watch out for fighters on the opposing team, who will also be looking for opponents, as well as their teammates. The team that rejoins by the end of the match will receive a health and energy boost from our special servielance bots!" And it was true. In each location that they were fighting, each fighter had been lead to a different place seperately, with no idea of where his or her teammates were. Team Garou's fight took place at the large stadium behind the main building. Terry found himself at the top of the stadium in the back area. There was a vacant consession stand next to him; the popcorn and treats looked tempting. The surveillance bot fluttered right by his head, making an annoying buzzing sound. He could left or right, or even forward and into the vast stands. There was a locked gate in front of it though. Mary had been blindfolded and led to a dark hallway. She wasn't sure exactly where she was, but figured it had to be the ground floor. The surveilance bot helped light her way. Gato was the lucky one. He ended up in the stands, out in the fresh air. His leg wound from the previous night still had not healed. He wondered how he would hold up... Meanwhile, Iori, Kyo and Shingo's fight was going to take place in the grande japanese garden in front of the mayor's house. Iori had been lead into a hedge maze--the hedges were so tall that he couldn't see over them. Since he'd been blindfolded, he had no way of knowing where he was. But it was a fair assumption that one of Team Revival was also wandering around the hedge maze... The announcer spoke, and it resonated through the bot speakers that were following all of them: "Alright.....READY??....GO!!!" Three minutes. The clock was ticking.

"Hahaha, you're really in a hurry to save that broad! What, do you have a thing for her? She's definitely not my type, that's for sure. I can't believe this fighter thought that she and I were together!" said Shen. Terry didn't even look at him "she's my friend and if anything happens to her because of you I'll make sure you regret it!"As they ran to the roof. "Ha ha ha. So you finally crawled out of your hole, eh Shen? Ash told me about the knowledge you hold. Now tell me, where are the Dragon Pills? Tell me, or you die Shen!!" said Oswald. 'Dragon Pills?' thought Terry to himself 'What were Dragon Pills?' Without realizing it Oswald and Shen charged at each other, see his chance Terry grabbed Mary and Ran for the balcony. When he ran back to check on Shen but he and Oswald were gone.
The announcer screamed to a roaring crowd: "Welcome everyone!! We are about to begin the next round of the King of Fighters 2004 tournament!

Iori began his way through the maze, keeping his guard up, but also keeping his mind currently on what he knew of that attempted theft the night before. He thought about the things he'd seen and heard there, trying to figure out what exactly that team was up to, as he worked his way through.

Gato was mad at himself for letting himself be wounded. The bad thing is that they heal you after the fight, not before. Even if the them Fools A.K.A. Team Outlaws were just a bunch of losers they were good fighters, Gato thought that maybe Shen was as badly wounded as he was and hoped to be that one the one he fights...
He looked up and down in the stands and sideways to have a clear picture of the fighting arena. If he doesn't want to be surprised he should be, maybe, in the most visible place and that was in the field.
Gato walked taking special care in his wounded leg, and advanced believing that he will be attacked in any second.

Time Remaining: 2:29 The fight had begun at least. Blue Mary had more or less recovered from the night before, though she did feel a little groggy. Not exactly perfect starting conditions for fight, thought Mary. She wander through the dark halls under the stadium and eventually came across a shaft of light. Mary grinned and ran towards it, only to be confronted with a gated exit to the outside. Desperately she tried to push it down, unaware of all the noise she was making. Suddenly a set of footsteps came rushing towards her. Mary swung around just in time to see Yamazaki come at her with a knife. She ducked and rolled out of the way. The clang of metal against stone rang in her ears. Mary could barely make out her attacker's face in the dark--only his shoulder was visible in the light from outside. He grunted and moved slightly. Something inside her snapped and Mary got up and ran. Yamazaki chased after her, laughing menically. Directly above, Terry was making his way around the top of the concession area. He heard snacking ahead and quickly hide himself around the corner. Terry looked around and saw none other than Shen, stuffing his face with hotdogs and candy at a vacant consession stand. Shen didn't seem to notice Terry. Perhaps now was his chance to strike and gain the upper hand. Meanwhile Billy Kane had made his way to the top of the stands. He panted as he entered a booth at the top of the stairs. "Whew, talk about a walk. I thought this was supposed to be a martial arts contest, not a triathilon! Huh? What's this...?" wondered Billy. He saw the controls for the stadium and started pressing some of the buttons. That was when suddenly the stadium seating for that section began to close up; the chairs were designed to fold up and close, row by row. It was dangerous for anyone in the seats, and unfortunately Gato was in that section. He'd no sooner spotted Billy than the seats began to fold above him. He had only seconds to think quickly. Meanwhile All was quiet as Iori wandered the hedge maze in the govenor's oriental garden. Suddenly a blade came down directly in front of him. Iori flipped away in time to see Gouloud cut his way into Iori's path. "There you are. I thought I smelled.....fear..." said Gouloud coldly. Swords. Two of them; one of them sheathed. The thought that this might vaguely be cheating might have crossed Iori's mind. Either way, he would now have to contend this giant of a man. As for Kyo, he had resolved to wait next to the fountain. He figured that eventually one of the others would come and find him--friend or foe. As long as he still had full health, it would be a bonus for his team. Unfortunately, Kyo's arrogance got the better of him, for it was a foe who found him first. Zeez flipped over the fountain and slammed Kyo's back with a roundhouse kick, blowing the warrior away. Kyo panted, but before he could get stable, Zeez rolled across the ground and floor swept him. "Ugh! Damn!" yelled Kyo. Zeez drew back and said, "Keep up your guard, Kusanagi! Or you and your friends shall fail!" (OOC: Sorry for taking so long guys! Really I am! School is getting pretty heavy as well as my personal life. I'll try to update as often as possible!)

Iori Yagami wasn't intimidated, nor did he care Gouloud was using the swords. Right now, he wasn't in a mood for games either, becoming impatient about his desire to destroy Kyo. To Iori, Gouloud was just another victim for the tally, and a target to release his frustrations on.
"We'll see who's afraid after you burn."
Iori reasoned Gouloud was expecting him to keep a distance from the swords. But Iori isn't a novice fighter, and he rushed in, fist igniting with purple flame, to go for a strike to Gouloud's face.
