“Yes I understand,” I said, “Thanks anyway… bye.” I hung up the phone. “What just happened?” asked Daisy. “It was the record producer,” I said, “He said that we need to have a certain amount of cash to be able to record the album, but we don’t have it.” “Damn,” said Daisy, “Snooty record people always wanting more money.” “I know right,” I said, “I’m gonna go work out at the training area to clear my mind.” A shadowy figure was watching us. “Can you feel it Gouken?” he asked, “Soon your demise will come to pass.” After a long training session with Ryu I was walking around Japan. I saw someone being messed with. It was the same goons that harassed Sakura. One of them was about to punch the guy but I got in the way. “Didn’t you goons learn before,” I said. “Back for another ass whooping are you?” asked the first thug.

“Yes, yes I am,” I said. I saw this as an opportunity to use the moves that Ryu taught me. “Come at me,” I said. “Oh now you asked for it bub,” said the first thug. He tried a punch but I used the block move I learned then countered with a sweep kick. One of the other guys was about to attack. I quickly turned around while secretly charging for a focus punch. I stunned the guy and then did the Joudan Sokutogeri, one of the strongest attacks. He landed on a car. Some people saw what was happening. “What’s going on here?” asked someone. “Well these guys were attacking this young man and I used self defense to stop them,” I said. The people looked at the thugs. “So you like picking on people do ya?!” asked a woman, “Well we’ll show you tough guys!” They all ran up to the thugs and started kicking their asses. “You ok man?” I asked as I helped the person up. He had ductape and a helmet on him and I took it off.

It was Jimmy, the guy from the bank. “That was amazing, perfect,” said Jimmy. “Thanks,” I said, “I study martial arts.” “It was so cool how you kicked those guys asses,” said Jimmy. “Martial arts isn’t really about kicking people’s asses,” I said, “Its about building character, and defending the weak.” “Ah,” said Jimmy, “My mom says I should learn to defend myself from others.” “Well, whenever you need some lessons,” I said giving him a card, “Call us. Gotta bounce.” I was on my way to my date with Sakura. I made it to the Spicy Shrimp and someone was expecting me. “Welcome Master Nicholas,” he said. “Master?” I asked. He was finding me some nice clothes that would work for me. I finally found something that was cool. He was about to take my hat but I stopped him. “The hat stays,” I said. “As you wish sir,” he said, “Follow me please.”

Later I was with Sakura at the table. “I’m such a big fan of your music,” she said, “I caught all of your albums.” “All of them?” I asked, “Tbh, there were some I wish you haven’t heard.” “Don’t be silly, you sound amazing,” said Sakura, “I can’t wait to hear your next one.” “Well maybe after a while…” I said. “What do you mean?” asked Sakura. “Its just… not in it for us,” I said. Sakura took my hand. “What happened?” she asked. “We don’t have the funds to do the recording,” I said, “We might have to wait a while until we can get the songs recorded.” “That’s not fair,” said Sakura. Daisy was spying on me and Sakura. “Daisy what are you doing?” asked Chun-Li. “I’m spying on my brother to see what’s happening,” said Daisy, “That girl looks so fine and hot.” “Ok….” said Chun-Li. “I mean look at her,” said Daisy, “That face is saying I’m young and available, and that form fitting cut is there to emphasize….” She caught a look at Sakura’s bust. “Damn those are huge!” she whispered. “What are huge?” asked Chun-Li. “Nothing,” said Daisy deep red. A waiter came with our food. “Pardon me ms Kasugano,” he said, “Your main course.”

“Kasugano?” I asked, “You wouldn’t happen to be related to Orson Kasugano or Tokyo Spin Records would you?” “Yeah,” said Sakura, “He’s my uncle.” “Get outta town!” I said. “I’m serious,” said Sakura, “You wanna meet him?” “Meet the biggest name in record history of Japan?” I asked, “Yeah I’ll take you up on that!” Our legs were touching. The next day I was practicing some basic combo moves. “Now I’m starting to remember what was so awesome about this spot,” I said. Someone was about to sneak up against me. I saw them and quickly did a spinning kick. “Damn!” he said, “And I thought you didn’t know what a sneak attack was.” “You make it look to easy,” I said, “You need a cast?” “I might need a new set of bones,” said the person. “So looks like master Gouken invited you as well,” I said. “That’s right,” he said, “A lot of Gouken’s old friends were invited.” I gave him my hand. “My name’s Ken Masters,” he said introducing himself. “Nicholas Shay,” I said. “Yeah I kinda put that together,” said Ken.

“Ken, what’s goin’ on over there?” asked a woman. “Nothing really Eliza,” said Ken, “Just met one of Ryu’s pupils.” “Oh, you must be Nicholas,” said Eliza, “Ryu told me about you.” “Yep,” I said. Ryu saw Ken. “Its been a while pal,” said Ryu. “Sure has,” said Ken, “Your pupil isn’t too shabby although he’s so….” “Go on,” I said in my head, “Say little. I dare you.”

Someone was watching everything commence from a small computer room. “Is my weapon ready?” he asked. “As you command master Bison,” said Vega, “What better way to combat our new enemy than fighting fire with fire.” One of M Bison’s soldiers was fitted into a exo skeleton similar to my power suit. “Excellent,” said Bison, “Once we see just how powerful this boy is, we can make upgrades, and then have an army of machines.” “Yes,” said Seth, “The Tundran Engine is a miracle.” The soldier was trying out his new weapon. It had the ability to blow gusts of strong damaging winds. “Send him out,” said Bison, “Its time for a test drive.”

I was walking with Sakura to her uncle’s record place. “Trust me, Uncle Orson will love you,” said Sakura. We were later inside and he gave me a tour of his office. “What do you think so far?” he asked. “Its really cool Mr. Kasugano,” I said. “Please, call me Orson,” said Orson, “I understand you and your band are trying to record an album but have some bumps in the road.” “Well….” I said. “Young man, don’t worry its nothing to be ashamed of,” said Orson, “When I was your age I had great dreams. I wanted to produce big time records, and started from the bottom, and now here I am. In Japan running Tokyo Spin Records, the biggest company in the world!” Sakura laughed and said, “Just tell Nicholas the good news.” “What good news?” I asked.

“Sakura told me about your new album and financial issue,” said Orson, “I wouldn’t want you to lose your opportunity to make your 10th album in a row, so I’m gonna do you a favor, and sponsor your band at an upcoming party!” “Are you serious?” I asked happily. “He’s serious!” said Sakura. “This is so awesome!” I said, “You won’t regret this!” “Under one condition,” said Orson, “You allow us to use one of your songs from your album for a commercial.” “Hold it,” said Daisy coming in, “He should speak with Daisy about it first.” “Is this your manager?” asked Orson. “She’s my younger sister Daisy,” I said, “She’s also the bassist.” “Nice to meet you youngster,” he said as he shook her hand. “You won’t make any changes to the song will you?” asked Daisy. “None whatsoever,” said Orson, “We will use the original track as recorded, and we’ll pay you each $500 for doing so.” “Could you excuse us for a moment?” I asked. Daisy and I went outside. As soon as we were we screamed frantically and went insane about the deal.

We went back inside. “So, we got a deal?” asked Orson. “Deal,” I said shaking his hand, “I promise we’ll make the most out of this opportunity. There was a car flying across the building. “What the hell was that?” asked Daisy. I looked down and saw a guy in some kind of exo skeleton suit blowing gusts of strong damaging winds. “Where is Power Man!” he said, “Come out and face Cyclone!” “Oh shit,” I said.
