The Stryke Zone

[Mars-Chan]

Mars places a icepack on MN's head and sighs. "Someone has to stop those two." She adds, handing a painkiller to MN. "..but who?"

[The Stryker]

Krang's Office

Bull stands in the corner of the room and holds his head in pain and then looks up. "Members of the Technodrome, our leader and founder...Krang." Krang sits behind his desk and sighs. "I am here today to deliver a message to a list of people...first and foremost...That little dirtbag Chris Hero. You organized an attack that was supposed to cripple me and take me out of the picture, Didn't work so well because I'm here before you walking and talking just fine."

"Now, if you think this is over just because you won that big fight? Wrong...this is far from over and the pain has just begun for your side..for every drop of our blood you spill, we will spill a bucket of yours and I can guarantee that." Krang shakes his head and then sighs. "Which brings me to the next person on my list...The so called Technodrome Cruisaders. Stryker, Benvenuto, Masked Ninja, Katie, Mars and GK...you claim to be defending this place but all I see is you all getting your asses handed to you!"

Bull looks at Krang and Krang nods. "Sewer Bull is the only one out of you people that has shown some fight against these bastards and that's why he will continue to be my executive consultant....Now with a sorry group of fighters that can't take down 4 hardcore posers in yellow shirts what am I to do? I'll tell you what and I'll speak to the person directly!"

"Theres a person that I have seen around here, he isn't exactly a team player but he can deal out violence like nobody has ever seen...Homicide, I'm begging you.....Join the Technodrome in this fight. That is all."

[Mars-Chan]

BLASPHEMY!

I can't fight!?!

HAH!


Boy, you haven't seen anything yet...keep bugging me and I will release something you ain't never seen before.....

[Katie]

*rocks back and forth slowly*

Homicide? He scares me so much *shivers and rubs arms slowly* He scares me.... *walks away mumbling and sits shaking in a corner, trying to hide*

[Masked Ninja]

"Well, how am I supposed to take on guys twice my size?" MN mutters, rubbing at her bandages absently. Torn at the thought of Homicide joining the fight, she gets up from the couch she'd been resting on with a soft groan and heads over to try and comfort Katie.

Meanwhile the suppressed anger deep within burns a little brighter...

[XERO]

Homicide...

[Katie]

*shivering and shaking uncontrollably*

He's gonna hurt Ben again...he's gonna, I just know it....and then, when he's done...He's going to come after me...and you...and everybody....

*trembles harder*

I might have figured something out against those CZ guys...but Homicide? Krang...Take it back! Don't invite that maniac around...it's Claudio all over again. Oh god, I'm going to die...I just know it.

[Mars-Chan]

*hugs MN* Things will work out...I hope.

[The Stryker]

Bullets lay on a dirty table, Homicide grabs them and begins loading them into a magazine. "So let me get this straight...Krang...A guy with a army of people willing to fight for him has asked for my help? Heh...what a damn world." Homicide loads the gun and puts it down on the table.

"Now I have a question, Why should I? What has this place ever done for me? What has the technodrome done for ME?! F*ck the technodrome and F*ck you Krang."

Homicide takes the gun and shoots the camera. "And thats all I have to say on the goddamn matter."

[Katie]

*slinks away from the shadow*

Homicide.....Thank God he's staying away. I couldn't deal with him. I-I can't deal with any of this. I'm only going to end up getting hurt again...just like all the other times....just like all the others....No one gets it.

*slinks away to be alone in the corner*

No one's gonna hurt me again. I'd rather be alone forever...

[Mars-Chan]

*stands by MN, one foot on a wall, leaning on it* Don't let him get to you, MN...He's just crazy in the head. *Snaps bubble from her bubble gum*

[The Stryker]

"Well well well...Desperation tactics?" Hero laughs and leans against a wall. "Have you really reached the end of your reserves already that you have to call in some common street trash to do your dirty work?" Hero shakes his head and then looks at the camera. "Do yourself a favor, don't lose sight of the main threat...It's 2 to nothing right now and you're losing! Bring on that Homocide! Frankly, I want him to join this thing...atleast make it interesting!" Claudio grabs the mic from Hero and smiles from ear to ear.

"Alright, looks like Krang has put me...ME! in a fight tonight against a guy that has a bit of a ego problem, He's put me against some low-level scrub named Stryker. Come on! I want the big names...Give me GK! Give me that jap-loving prick! Give me Machias f*cking Banshee!...It doesn't matter who I fight...they're all going down in the name of the Combat Zone."

Claudio's serious face turns back to a big grin. "EYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Ha! See you in that ring, Bitch."

Technodrome Arena

Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" plays over the PA system as Claudio makes his way to the ring from the Combat Zone back entrance wearing a Technodrome Shirt. Claudio smirks and spins around quickly on the entry way before climbing into the ring.

Claudio climbs onto the top rope and rips his Technodrome shirt, revealing a Combat Zone shirt underneath. Claudio throws the ripped shirt into the crowd and spits at them before getting off the rope and standing in the ring waiting.

The Lights dim and then a show of Blue and white lights shine over the entrance ramp as a dramatic music sting plays over the PA, the music stops and goes straight into Manson's "Disposable Teens" Stryker steps out with taped up fists. Stryker looks right at Claudio and smiles a bit before pointing.

Ben attacks Claudio from behind with a barbed wire bat. Ben hits him in the back with the bat and Claudio falls to his knees in pain. Stryker kicks Claudio in the face before lifting him back up. Ben rushes and hits Claudio in the head with the bat. Stryker steps on Claudio's face while he's on the ground.

"How's that for f*cking being able to fight?" Ben throws the mic down and steps out of the ring, Stryker throws Claudio into a corner and hits him with a running kick to the face. Stryker takes Claudio down with a running STO before putting one foot on his chest 1..2...3

Stryker kicks Claudio in the face and leaves the ring as Hero rushes into the ring. "You son of a bitch...you bastards think you're so damn smart don't you? oooh a ambush so clever! tell you what...gather all your damn troops in the back and meet me,Dragon, Necro and Claudio at the Combat Zone! you don't know what you've just done!"

Homicide watches everything from the sidelines and just turns and walks away.

[Katie]

Katie takes mild interest from her dark hiding corner. Homicide didn't look like he was staying away after all and she was left wondering what she was going to do.

Katie sank to the floor and burried her face and began to cry. Things were looking really bad to the copper haired girl.

It would be hard to leave this place after all the good months...but she was beginning to feel tired and spent...maybe it was for the best. There were alot of bad feelings building up here and Katie knew she was only making things worse by staying. Maybe it really is for the best.

[Ra]

The eye of Ra flashes open in the darkness before her other one opens as well. "Who dares wake me from my sleep?!"

Heehee...just felt like doing that Got a very good story here, Stryker. Very interesting, and, with this Homicide dude, deadly *pats Mask on the head* Keep it up!

[The Stryker]

Combat Zone

Stryker, Ben, Katie, Mars, Masked Ninja and Ra stand outside the Combat Zone as Sewer Bull stands in front of the group carrying a cowbell in one hand. "Alright, here we are...these people have tried to kill us...they have tried to take us down from the inside and the outside. Are we gonna let them continue these attacks?! I for one, say f*ck no."

Bull rips off the bandage from his head revealing a nasty healing scar. "They have attacked our home. This Garbage known as the Combat Zone goes down today!" The technodrome group cheers as the doors open to the Combat Zone.

CZ Ring.

Claudio Castagnoli stands in the middle of the ring with a giant cake decorated with candles and the number 7. Claudio smirks and calms down the Combat Zone crowd. "Now...we have some special guests in the house tonight!" The crowd boos loudly and Claudio smirks and then shrugs. "Now now, lets show them some respect here! they're celebrating their seventh anniversary! and I intend to celebrate with them here!"

Claudio sticks his finger on the frosting of the cake and tastes it. "Mmm...vanilla...Anyway! come on in assholes!" The Technodrome crew walks on a red carpet down to the ring. The CZ crowd throws trash and a bottle whack Ra right in the head. "Just keep moving." Bull gets into the ring and pushes Claudio. "What are you doing?" "Just being friendly! come on!"

Ben looks at the cake and touches it slightly, Chris Hero jumps out of the cake, lights flash paper and then throws the fire ball into Ben's face. Hero punches Mars and is then punched by Stryker. Bull throws Claudio out of the ring and attacks Hero.

Butcher comes out from under the ring and Grabs Katie by her hair, He drags her back and then throws her down violently. Mask smashes Necro over the head with a chair, Necro stops and looks at Mask..unaffected by the shot. Mask hits him again and again but Butcher doesn't even flinch.

Hero flails and manages to kick Bull away, He stands up and turns around only to be hit with a hard roundhouse kick by Ben. Hero crawls away and falls onto the ground. Butcher stumbles into the middle of the ring after taking about 15 chair shots from Mask.

Mask jabs Necro in the stomach with the chair. Necro bends over in pain as Stryker sweeps him from below while Ben delivers a hard clothesline from above. Necro finally falls down and begins to slowly get back on his feet when Bull knocks him out of the ring with a hard baseball bat shot to the head.

The lights turn out in the Combat Zone for a brief moment but when they turn back on, Super Dragon is in the middle of the ring surrounded by The Technodromers. Dragon kicks Mars in the head and then hits a hard stiff chop to the throat of Katie. Dragon grabs Stryker's arm and twists it to almost the point of breaking. Ben kicks Dragon off of Stryker and then goes on the attack.

Dragon quickly hits a hard palm thrust to Ben's Stomach, Then he shifts position and smacks the living spit out of Ben.Dragon throws Ben into Ra and turns around to look at Mask, Dragon slowly walks towards her as she stops and drops the chair she was holding.Dragon grabs her and then whips out a small knife from his sleeve. Dragon runs the knife along Mask's arm, cutting it open. Mask screams in pain and Dragon rears his head back like he's enjoying it.

Bull smashes Super Dragon with a large sheet of glass. Dragon grabs Bull by the throat and chokes him. Hero climbs back into the ring carrying a mic. "You little pricks have no damn idea what you have done...what you have unleashed upon yourselves...GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE!" Hero yells at Mask to leave. "You think this is it? Hmm...you messed with our brothers and you think that would go without punishment?"

Dragon holds Bull up as Hero hits him with the mic. The CZ entrance way opens and a flood of Combat Zone members walk to the ring. Dragon and Butcher rip off Bull's shirt. Nate Webb whips Bull with a leather belt again and again in the middle of the ring until blood starts dripping out of the red welts.

One of the CZ members tosses Hero a staple gun, Claudio laughs and holds up a couple of dollar bills. Claudio holds the bill up to Bull's head as Hero staples it in. Bull falls back in pain and flails around slightly. "Now...we can't have that!"

Dragon and Butcher tie Bull's arms to the ring ropes with Barbed wire as the CZ members continue their attack. The Members all move to the side as John Zandig steps into the ring and looks at all of them in disgust. "None of this! No more! This is not acceptable....he's not bleeding enough!" Zandig pulls out a cheese grater, He rakes it along Bull's already bloody forehead. The grater rips flesh and sends it flying all over the ring.

The rabid crowd then starts chanting for the Combat Zone as Dragon rips Bull off of the Ring ropes and drags him to the center of the ring. Dragon places Bull's head on the seat of a metal folding chair. Claudio and Hero hold Bull in place as Dragon climbs to the top rope.

Dragon jumps off the top rope and stomps down on Bull's head, Breaking the chair and possibly Bull's skull. Zandig places a barbed wire crown on Bull's head. He pushes it down and rips more flesh as the crowd cheers even louder.

All of the Combat Zone member laugh at the "crucified" Sewer Bull as he bleeds all over the CZ logo on the ring mat.

[Masked Ninja]

MN has meanwhile stumbled out of the ring and sinks to her knees, holding her arm to try and keep the wound closed. She only watches the first thirty seconds or so of Sewer Bull's torture before looking away, shaking and trying not to be sick.

Bull's ripped-off shirt had been flung only a couple feet from where MN was. She grabs it and wraps it around her arm as quickly as she can, then searches for a weapon. Seeing none nearby, she sags a little. Even with a weapon, she's no match for these brutes...

What next? Was there anything that could be done? And why the heck was this Hero guy so ticked that the Technodromers had beat on his guys? Wasn't that what they'd been invited to do - fight?

[Ra]

Yay! I'm in the fight! Thank q, Stryker! *grins wildly before gasping* NU! Not Bully!

That's it, these guys are going DOWN! *spits on Dragon and sucker punches Hero* Nobody messes with OUR Bull. NOBODY!!

...and I have lowered my IQ down from 166 to 101 just from that fight alone

Ouch. Did I die at last?

You surely have to hate me, Stryker.

[Ra]

Well, if you think about it, the most tortured character is the one the writer loves the most. Take Harry Potter for example. JKR hates him, thus he is still alive. Huh? Huh?

[Sewer Bull]

*huhs Ra out of this thread with his huge horns and nose*

Well, if you say so, then I'm impatiently looking forward to another fanfic with me being mercilessly tortured, yet this time written by a female writer for a change. That could be kind of... exciting.
