Harry took the time before his first match to relax and recuperate from his last fight. Sitting on a bench in what looked like a locker room. The strange doctor he had met before in Dan-Sensei’s dojo was fixing his injured hands. “Tsk tsk, I thought you would be more careful, Harry. Next time you need to take care not to cripple yourself before your next fight.” A sentiment that Harry understood, but thought he would be okay if his knuckles were a bit bloodied.

Dr.Faust wrapped Harry’s hands with some bandages after putting some strange ointment on them. It stung at first, but after a while, he felt the pain of his knuckles quickly subsiding. ”Thanks, doc. I’ll keep that in mind next for my next tussle.” Harry said while gently rubbing one of his bandaged hands. He knew his next opponent was a tough customer. Bob Wilson was the guy’s name. And according to what he was told, Kim was a master of Capoeira. He would have to be careful when fighting him.

Harry soon found himself standing before another pool-like arena. This would be another challenge that he would need to overcome. Nevertheless, he got onto the platform that was in the middle of one of the pools. Noticing his opponent, Bob got onto the platform shortly after.

“Nice to see ya. I wish ya the best of luck. Let’s see whatcha got.” Harry said while bowing to Bob.

“Same to you too bud.” Bob bowed as well, but kept his eyes on Harry the whole time. The Heavenly Principle soon signalled that the first round had begun. And Bob quickly closed the distance between them. Moving quicker than Combot, Harry didn’t have time to put up his dukes. Bob performed a few handstand kicks to Harry’s face and upper body. Most of his attacks seemed to land, with Harry only barely blocking a few of his kicks.

Bob tried to deliver another kick to Harry's midsection, but Harry caught it, surprising Bob. Harry tried to throw him into the water, but Bob was quick and stopped himself from going over the edge. Bob changed his trajectory and launched himself towards Harry. A kick that sent Harry flying backwards and towards the edge of the arena. The next thing he knew, he was under the water, and Bob was declared the winner of the first round. Bob helped Harry back onto the arena as the second round started.

===========================================================

Kim’s match was just about to begin. He felt unsure of his own safety, considering his opponent was armed with a sword. A thought came to him about whether it would be allowed for him to have his own weapon. And when he asked his question, it was not answered by the Heavenly Principle. An annoyance, but Kim had his gun on him in case he needed to use it. Fixing his glasses that were taped together because of his last fight.

As soon as the first round started, Kim tried dodging the skeleton’s sword. His clothes were slashed each time he tried to dodge them. With each missed slash of its sword, Kim would react by giving the skeleton a few quick kicks to the side. This seemed to cause some damage to the skeleton. But mostly, the kicks made Spinal quite angry. Spinal started swinging furiously at Kim, who was barely dodging his sword and sometimes hitting Kim, cutting his clothes and his skin underneath. But Kim would respond by punching or kicking Spinal. Kim wanted to end this as soon as possible. So he grabbed Spinal’s hand, holding his sword and tried to apply an armbar hold. But Spinal was not too keen on letting this happen. He slammed his shield into Kim’s face, causing the detective to stumble backwards.

Spinal quickly moved to try to end the fight. Swinging his sword towards Kim’s midsection. Luckily, Kim was able to dodge the attack after a brief moment of discombobulation. As he was avoiding the skeleton’s attack, he was getting closer to the edge of the arena. Kim dodged the skeleton’s shield attack and pushed Spinal into the water below. Kim had taken the first round and hoped to win the second.

Loke had listened to the situation and felt a sense of dread. He didn’t like the feeling that there were forces that could end their existence. However, he was excited by the fact that there were other extraordinary powers outside of the fae realm. As he got home, he packed a small suitcase with essentials for the trip. Taking a moment to look at the bookcase that hid his secret room.

Part of him wonders if he would need the book to help deal with these unknown forces. But bringing the book would only get him more trouble. Something he brought was some clothes, a magical tool, an alchemy apparatus, a pad of paper and pens, and a dagger in case he gets into any trouble.

A few moments later, he returned to the meeting, pointed, and waited for the others to arrive. Thinking that if this were the end, then he would want to go out with a bang.

Abby had been called away from her hostages by Judy to help the Dark Alliance with their next plan. Being there to be the sort of handler for Kid Cosmo. She made sure that he did the job that needed to be done. Berating him with curses and rather explicative pejoratives whenever he was knocked down. Of course, she made sure to help Kid Cosmo deal with the heroes. She used her powers to throw various objects at the heroes. Targeting those she deemed a threat.

Floating behind Kid Cosmo while watching the fight between the villains and heroes. Mainly, she focused on attacking the Sons of Liberty because he was their leader. And she thought if she took him down, then the rest would flee. But she was also targeting Spellbound since she assumed he could be pretty dangerous.

She stopped for a moment when she noticed Sam. She remembered the girl back at the facility. Having a few conversations while she was locked inside her cell. And her sudden growth spurt was the cause of her escape. She wondered what other subjects were out there and if they were hiding, or chose to become heroes or villains. Her moment of pause could allow any of the heroes to attack her.

—-----------------------------------------

Meanwhile, another newcomer had arrived to help the heroes. Xero had recently gotten into the superhero game and was looking to make a name for himself. He stood close to Sons Of Liberty, wanting to assign him a task. "Hi, boss, what do you need me to do?" Xero had just started becoming a hero a few days ago. He had spent many months at the academy working to be a certified hero.

He had discovered his powers as a kid. Inspired by heroes before him, he wanted to follow in their footsteps.

Harry was inside the locker room getting prepared for the first round of the Street Fighter tournament. During his time in the cafe, he was speaking with the other seekers. All while downing many espressos. His anxiety was relieved when he saw the other seekers who had been staying at Banishing Flats. The only person who wasn’t accountable was Nadia. But that was not surprising, given that she would likely be as far away as possible from Esaka. He would do the same to protect his life. But that was something he wouldn’t admit to the other seekers.

He surmised that Nadia was perhaps long gone and unlikely to return. But really, he didn’t seem to care. He was more concerned about the tournament and his performance in the first round. Harry had changed into an appropriate outfit. Consisting of a pink karate outfit and a white belt, matching his sensei’s outfit somewhat. He had done some research on the participants of the Street Fighter tournament with Kim. His first opponent is a robot created by Violet Systems to be the perfect weapon. While he was worried he wouldn’t do much fighting a robot, he was sure he could overcome this obstacle. His train of thought was broken by a tournament official telling him to start heading to the area.

As Harry was waiting for his match, he started jumping, trying to pump himself up for his match. As he walked towards the main stage, he noticed a robot approaching the stage as well. Harry surmised that this was his opponent. Harry carefully stepped onto the platform above a large pool. Both of them were now standing in the area, with Harry slowly getting into a fighting stance. The robot, introduced as Combat, adopted a somewhat similar style. Harry guessed Combot was going to use Jeet Kun Do this round. And the next round would be much different.

Adrenaline was filling his body as the round started. Immediately, Combot moved close to Harry, trying to kick Harry’s torso. The kick connected to Harry’s stomach, making him writhing in pain. Combot followed up this kick with a punch to his jaw. The series of attacks caused Harry to fly backwards, landing on his side. But surprisingly, Harry slowly got back up and started rushing at Combot. He jumped as high as he could, performing a series of Dankukyaku on Combot’s torso. The attack connected, making the robot drop onto the ground. Harry wanted to continue his attack on Combot, wanting to make sure he didn’t get back up again. The out-of-shape detective started stomping on the robot’s head, trying to keep it down. But each time his foot made contact with that large metallica head, he could feel a sharp stinging pain run up his leg. This attack made him hold onto his feet while wailing in pain.

But Harry’s attack didn’t seem to do much damage. The robot slowly got back up, countering by kicking Harry in the leg. It seemed to know that Harry’s leg was hurt, and was going to make sure Harry could use them to attack. The kick made Harry scream in pain, holding onto his leg. Combot followed up the attack with a hard punch to Harry’s chest. Harry could feel the wind leaving his lungs. A thought came to him that he was not going to get far in the tournament. It took Harry a few minutes to try to recover.

Harry resumed his fighting stance as he started to get serious about fighting this thing. It didn’t take him long to realize a plan of action. He quickly closed the gap between himself and Combot. Slamming his fist into the robot’s chin, performing a Koryuken, albeit a very poor imitation of it. Harry was still getting used to performing these moves. This move was enough for Harry to win the first round. After the round, both of them went back to their starting position.

As the second round started, Combot became quite aggressive. Powdering Harry with punches and kicks, making Harry’s struggle to block his attacks. Most of Combot’s attacks landed, hitting him in the face, neck, chest, and stomach. It looked like Combot was going to win the second round. Harry was kneeling on the ground, trying to catch his breath, looking completely gassed. For a moment, he had his eyes closed as his physical and motoric thoughts were chattering. Harry suddenly opened his eyes and stood up while starting to pump himself up.

Starting to turn the tables on the robot. He pointed to Combot before giving him a big boot to the stomach. Following up the boot with a multitude of strikes. Finishing the strike with a thumbs up and an arrogant-looking grin. Combot flew into the pool of water below and was unlikely to get back up again. Harry noticed his hands were bloodied from slamming his fist into the metallic body of his opponent. Something he wanted right now was a strong drink.

=====================================

Kim’s match was beginning with the detective waiting on the platform above a pool. Something that seemed quite inconvenienced for him. He got into a fighting stance, not, of course, before bowing to Leo, who returned the gesture with a similar motion. And as the announcer started the round, Kim slowly moved towards Leo. Wanting to test them and their resolve. As Kim’s foot stepped closer towards Leo, they responded by trying to punch Kim in the chest. Kim tried blocking the attack, but his efforts were rebuffed by Leo kicking him in the side. Kim staggered to the side, trying to keep his balance. Responding to the offence by letting out two or three punches towards their body. Some of his blows seemed to land, making Leo stagger. But some of his punches were blocked or countered by his opponent. The two of them were trading blows, with Leo having more leeway than Kim. They were more skilled in hand-to-hand combat than he was. Part of him begrudged the fact that he didn’t get any more training in any kind of martial arts.

Kim could feel the pain of their punches and kicks running all over his body. Fortunately, his glasses were not affected by their attack. As Leo was coming in for a grapple behind him, he quickly countered with one of his own. Grabbing Leo by the arm before throwing them over his hip onto the ground. While briefly celebrating this move in his mind, he was caught off guard by her next attack.

Leo quickly recovered by kicking Kim in the stomach while getting back onto their feet. The kick sends Kim onto his back with a hard thud. With this kick, Leo was able to win the first round. Kim was helped back onto his feet. And as the second round started, Kim thought of taking the fight more seriously. And instead would be more offensive than defensive.

A few seconds into the second round, Kim started closing the distance between himself and Leo. Trying to bait them into attacking him so he could perform a devastating counterattack. Performing a strike to the side of their head. Leo took the bait, trying to block the attack, but he used this opportunity to fight back. He kneed Leo in the stomach, making them lurch forward. The detective seized this opportunity to deliver a devastating blow. Kim followed this up by trying to get them into a sleeper hold. Tightening his grip, trying to make sure she would be out for the count. But they were tougher than they looked.

They held onto the arm that was wrapped around Leo’s neck. Leo did not want to lose, so he delivered a hard kick to his opponent's head. Staggering Kim and breaking his glasses in the process. And before he could recover, he was kicked once again in the head by Leo. This kick knocked Kim out and he was unable to continue fighting. Leo won the first match. A moment that would be pretty embarrassing for the detective. And it was something that Harry would tease Kim about.

Loke had a concerned look on his face. He had heard of the Bohgidail and really only in hushed tones from other fae. Although he had never met one before, and from what he had heard, he didn’t want to run into them. But perhaps the Necronomicon could have something to combat this creature. The mischievous fae seemed to be in deep thought. Wondering if they could find the star. And if they could even succeed in this mission.

“And I assume Bohgidail has forces that will try to stop our quest? I will take part in this task. ” He took a look at the map, having a sense of deja vu, like he had seen the map before. He didn’t want to be the only one to cause any kind of mischief and mayhem in the world.

Harry tried going back further into the building, wanting to try to save the others. But Kim was holding onto his arm. Harry stopped what he was doing and was pulled out of the burning hotel. When both men were finally out of the hotel, they walked over to the fire exit. Kim first noticed Big Band while pulling Harry along like a child. ” It’s good to see you. Is there anyone who is missing? ” Kim asked, but his question was answered when he saw the other Seekers that were inside of Banishing Flat.

” Glad you lot are okay, I wonder why those robots tried blowing up the hotel.” Harry said, and he could hear a voice speaking to try to answer his question.

"It was that catgirl; she stole from Kazuya. And he wanted revenge, trying to find and probably kill her.” Authority said. And there was a thought that Harry considered the reason the Jack-5s attacked.

“Or that Kazuya is working with Galeem, and had planned to wipe us all out in one go.” Perception corrected Authority, but offered an interesting alternative perspective on the situation.

Once the cost was clear, Harry returned to Kim’s place to avoid sleeping in a pile of garbage. He was very grateful to have a friend like Kim around. And Kim was glad that nothing bad had happened to Harry. However, the other patrons of the hotel were not so lucky. Harry didn’t get much sleep; his mind was racked with thoughts of how unprepared he was for the situation. In the middle of the night, he got out of bed to have a smoke. Staying up all night while Kim was fast asleep. Pondering on different things, but was mainly concerned about whether he could actually help his team and not be a burden.

As Harry was having his last cigarette, he could hear Big Band communicating via linkpearl. ” Good morning, Band. Hope you're doin well. I’ve been up all night so that I could use a strong cup of coffee.” Harry took a tired, deep breath. He could hear Kim getting up and ready for the day. The Pao Pao cafe would be comforting to visit and converse with the other Seekers.

“Were you up all night?” Kim asked as he came into the room, having heard Harry speaking to Band over the linkpearl. Harry nodded before Kim got some extra clothes for Harry. As both men walked over to the cafe, they discussed the tournament and the information Kim had found on the Street Fighter and Tekken tournaments. They both arrived with Kim waving to Big Band. Harry took a seat first, with Kim joining him.

” I hope you are doing well, Detective Band. I had found some information on the tournaments and the participants. If you want to hear about it?” Kim asked while Harry ordered some coffee for both of them.

Harry had quite a long day of training. After Dan was knocked out, he was deemed okay by the quack doctor. And for the rest of the day, he continued training with Harry and his other students. Afterwards, he went to meet Kim to discuss what he had found on the Four Kings. Being surprised that he had met the god of thunder. Although meeting another god, it was not surprising that other gods were hanging around. The two had dinner as they discussed the Four Kings. Again, the thought of Harry not being able to get far into the tournament came into his mind. After Dinner, both detectives separated, with Harry going back to his hotel and Kim heading back to his apartment.

During the night, Harry filled his time by getting drunk and talking to other people at the bar. A person he seemed to connect with was a silver-haired man in a cowboy outfit. Soiree mentioned that he, his brother and a girl named Mignon Beart were going to be in the KOF tournament. Harry knew that Terry, Cap, and Ammy were going to be in that tournament. And knew that Rugal was a tough customer. He would have loved to join them, but the Street Fighter tournament seemed more up his alley. They converse about other things, mainly about each other’s lives.

Harry recounted his time as a detective and the various cases he had solved. Going on and on about how excellent Jean, his old partner, and Kim were. And was talking about the case he had before being sent here. But of course, leaving out how he was sent here, as he didn’t totally trust Soriee. And Soriee was talking about his brother and a little bit about his life. By the end of the evening, both men were quite drunk. And as they came out of the hotel bar, they were greeted by Sorrie’s older brother.

“Seriously. This is how you wanna spend your night? I was hoping you wouldn’t pull this kind of nonsense before the tournament, but this is typical.” The man had his arms crossed. The tone of his voice was very familiar to the detective. Sorrie tried to justify his actions, but his brother was having none of it. The two soon left, with Harry going back to his room. He lay in his bed in only his underwear. He was having a hard time sleeping. A few hours in, he finally fell asleep, but his dream was quite bad.

In his dream, he was back in Revachol with Kim. They were standing in front of the tree where they found the hangman. A few moments later, the people he knew were now surrounding him and Kim. Some of them he did recognize, but some he did not. Some of the faces he noticed were Jean, Garte, Cuno, Cunoesse, Siileng, Measurehead, Titus Hardie, Cindy the Skull, Lilienne Carter, Egg Head, The Paledriver, and The Deserter. He could hear them talking, but it was hard to make out what they were saying.

Just then, he noticed the hanged man was twitching with his eyes suddenly opening. A sickly smile on his face, with maggots oozing out of his mouth. “Well, well, well, it’s nice to see you again, Harry. If you think you're going to beat Galeem, then you think very highly of yourself. You're gonna die, and your friends are gonna DIE TOO.” And as he said, the faces of the people he knew had a frightening look to them. Looking at Harry with an intense bloodlust. Even Kim had a bloodthirsty look on his face. All of them are coming towards him, wanting to tear Harry apart. The hangman was chanting for them to kill him. But as they had their hands on him, he was awoken by someone crashing through his hotel wall into his room.

The detective jumped out of bed, covered in sweat. “What the hell! Who the hell are you?” Harry noticed a large, menacing robot in his room. The robot didn’t answer his question, but instead was coming towards him. He knew he couldn’t take the robot on in a 1v1 fight. So he decided to run out the door, but not before grabbing his duel pistols. Stuffing them in his underwear. Harry ran down the hallway and towards the stairs to the lobby. He could utter chaos echoing through the hallways as he passed them in the stairwell. Noticing one of the robots was following him.

“Who the hell are these guys?” Harry thought as he exited through a door, hoping to hide from his pursuer. His tired body was pressed against a wall, hearing the heavy footsteps moving past the door and down the stairs. Harry let out a sigh of relief, trying to catch his breath. Slowly, he made his way to the elevator, hoping that it was still working. As he saw the elevator light approaching his floor, he could hear footsteps coming towards him. Harry quickly turned around to see a strange figure standing beside him. Harry let out a girly scream because he thought the figure was one of those robots.

“My apologies for frightening you, but this is not a safe place. Come, let us go to the lobby.” The figure could see the elevator door being opened by one of those robots. In a flash, the figure unsheathed his sword, cutting the robot in half. The figure sheathed his sword before turning to Harry. “My name is Yoshimitsu, a pleasure to meet you.” The strange ninja bowed to Harry, who bowed back to him. Harry introduced himself before the two made their way back to the staircase. Even though Harry thought the robots would be on the stairs.

As both men were descending the stairs, they were rocked by multiple explosions going off. Yoshimitsu held onto Harry so he wouldn’t fall from the collapsed staircase. Yoshimitsu held onto Harry while helicoptering his sword with Harry screaming as loud as he could. Being so high in the air was scaring the crap out of him. Both of them slowly descended to the stairwell closest to the ground floor.

Yoshimitsu set Harry down near the door leading to the lobby. “Thanks, who were those guys?” Harry asked the ninja as the two were heading towards the lobby.

“They are Jack-5’s. Killing machines created by G-Corp to eliminate the enemies of Kazuya Mishima. I am surprised he chose this hotel as a target for attack.” A statement that led Harry to believe Nadia was the reason for the attack.

Meanwhile, Kim had rushed towards the hotel after learning of the attack. Kim was frantically trying to find Harry, being scared that he would lose him again. Being grateful when he saw Harry was safe. Both men hugged each other before Harry spoke up.

“We gotta go back in to try and find the others.” Harry was reprimanded by Kim because of how dangerous it could be to try to find the others. He wasn’t sure how safe it was even to speak in the lobby. He was yelling out that they needed to leave the building and go somewhere safe. But Harry wasn’t listening, wanting to venture further into the building. But the explosion had made the building quite unstable. So there was no telling when the hotel would collapse in on itself. Kim held onto Harry’s arm to make sure he wasn’t going anywhere.

He didn’t seem to be listening to Ophelia mentioning how much trouble he had made in the past. That was something he had heard quite a lot before. However, his ears perked up when Ophelia mentioned the reason she chose him. He was curious about the reason he had been selected for this task.

Walking along with Lady Ophelia into the council room, he noticed the familiar faces in the room. He did see the many concerning changes that were occurring in the Hollow and looked quite concerned that they were adverse effects from using that book. And this negative effect was becoming more suspicious to the other fae.

“Do you know the source of this darkness?” Loke asked Queen Celine, dreading that they were onto him. Looking over at Orian, feeling something similar. He wanted to know what was going on.
