KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

【Gale Fist】!

With a wave of his hands, Geese instantly conjured a wind blade, which, like a sharp dagger, hurtled towards Yan Yue and Sakazaki Ryo.

Despite their severe injuries, Yan Yue and Ryo Sakazaki did not give up the fight. Yan Yue struggled to raise his left hand, using his Nen barrier to try and block the wind blades. The wind blades exploded in front of them, blasting up rubble and dust.

"Oh? You can still hold on? Looks like you still have some stamina... But things won't be so easy from here on out." Geese sneered as he slowly raised his hand and unleashed the Gale Fist once more, sending two wind blades sweeping towards Yan Yue and Sakazaki Ryo.

【Gale Fist】【Gale Fist】!

"Not good! Two Gale Fists!" Sakazaki Ryo shouted anxiously. But Engetsu remained unusually calm. He concentrated and once again used his Nen Barrier to block the attack.

"Hmph, not bad, you've managed to hold out for so long. I'd like to see how many of my Gale Fists you can withstand!" Geese's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. He swung his hands even faster, unleashing a barrage of Gale Fists at Yan Yue and Sakazaki Ryo, the speed increasing rapidly.

"Bang...bang...bang bang...bang bang bang..." Countless fierce fists pounded the aura barrier, producing a series of loud bangs. Each impact put immense pressure on Yan Yue, who could only desperately try to maintain the stability of the aura barrier.

Ryo Sakazaki clenched his fists tightly. "This can't go on. We have to find a way to break this deadlock."

"I'm almost out of Nen..." Yan Yue said helplessly to Sakazaki Ryo.

"Sigh, I've done my best." Ryo Sakazaki sighed, seemingly not so afraid of death, just when Ryo thought he had resigned himself to his fate.

Yan Yue suddenly exclaimed, "Someone's coming!"

No sooner had Yan Yue finished speaking than a figure rushed toward Giss with lightning speed, leaping forward and throwing a punch at him.

[Flame Punch]!

Terry's right hand ignited with blue energy, propelling him towards Geese like a rocket soaring into the sky. Geese reacted swiftly, immediately withdrawing his attack and crossing his arms to block Terry's punch, but he was still knocked back several meters by Terry's strike.

When Geese steadied himself and looked at Terry, his pupils dilated and his face contorted in a ferocious expression. "Since you're still alive, I'm going to kill you."

Terry, of course, wouldn't let Geese off the hook, and roared angrily, "Geese! You're the one who should die!"

"Hahahaha... Hahaha..." Geese looked at Terry, who he could never kill, and then at Ryo Sakazaki and Engetsu, who were kneeling beside him. He was also burning with rage and killing intent. His face began to twist and go crazy, and the red light in his eyes flickered erratically.

“Very well, then none of you are leaving today, hahaha…” Gis laughed maniacally as he jumped onto the top floor.

"Gise, don't run!" Terry saw Giese jump upstairs and quickly followed.

……

On the lower level of the building, Mai Shiranui had already carried Yuri Sakazaki downstairs, preparing to secretly take Yuri back to the dojo.

Lily gazed worriedly at the top of the building, her eyes filled with anxiety and unease. She murmured to herself, "Are they really alright?" Her voice was filled with deep concern, as if one could feel the pain in her heart.

Mai Shiranui was naturally worried, but she suppressed her fear and comforted Yuri, "Yuri, there's no use worrying. We have to trust Engetsu and the others." Her tone was firm yet gentle, trying to give Yuri a glimmer of hope.

Yuri turned to look at Mai Shiranui, a flicker of gratitude in her eyes, but then sighed, "Flame Moon will face Dad, and Brother will face Geese. Although Terry has gone to help, I'm still very worried... Robert and King are also fighting. Everyone is fighting to save me..." At this point, Yuri's voice became low and hoarse, a wave of guilt washing over her, making it impossible for her to continue. She lowered her head, tears blurring her vision, and choked back sobs.

Mai Shiranui gently patted Yuri's shoulder, comforting her, "Yuri, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault. We're all friends, and we'll help each other. Now what we need to do is get back to the dojo as soon as possible and wait for their news." Her words were full of care and encouragement, trying to cheer Yuri up.

“…Thank you, Mai…” Yuri nodded, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm herself down. She knew that Mai was right; the most important thing now was to stay calm and wait for their return. However, the worry in her heart lingered.

"Keep going, everyone..." she prayed silently, hoping they would all be safe and sound.

……

At the very top of the Geese Building, above Geese's office, lies an open-air and magnificent martial arts arena, surrounded by towering wooden stakes and railings, giving it an aura of majesty and oppression. The ground is paved with strange stone slabs, engraved with intricate patterns, seemingly containing some kind of mysterious power.

In the center of the platform, Terry and Geese stood facing each other, their distance neither too close nor too far, their eyes meeting, a tense atmosphere filling the space. Geese had already taken off his black suit and put on a white and red fighting outfit.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a slight chill, ruffling Terry's golden hair. His gaze was focused and resolute, revealing an unyielding determination. He clenched his fists tightly, his body slightly tense, preparing for the fierce battle to come.

Giss said coldly, "Terry Bogard, I admire your willpower, but it comes at a price!"

Terry glared at Geese and roared, "Today, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my father!"

Giss sneered, "Then come on, let me see if you have the ability."

The words had barely left their mouths when the two launched their attacks simultaneously, charging towards each other. Instantly, fists clashed, and a fierce battle officially began.

Geese's attacks were fierce, combining his family's martial arts with Bajiquan's, and he launched a direct assault on Terry. Terry dodged Geese's hook punch by sidestepping, then kicked Geese hard in the abdomen. Geese jumped back, avoiding the blow, and then unleashed a powerful Gale Punch straight at Terry's chest.

Terry had no time to dodge, so he slammed his fist into the ground, and the [Energy Wave] rushed directly towards Gale Fist in an attempt to block it.

With a loud "bang," the energy wave collided with the Gale Fist. However, the energy wave was completely unable to withstand this enhanced Gale Fist, which directly knocked it away and struck Terry squarely.

"Ugh..." Terry groaned in pain and stumbled back several steps.

But Terry didn't let his guard down. He immediately steadied himself and charged at Geese with tremendous force, delivering a powerful straight punch to Geese's face.

[Flame Punch]!

"Still want to use that move?" Geese looked at Terry with contempt. "You're asking for death!" At this moment, Geese easily saw through Terry's move. With a slight shift of his body, Geese grabbed Terry's charging arm and used the [Body Throw] to slam him heavily to the ground.

"boom!"

"Ugh—" Terry felt a huge impact on his body, and he smashed the floor so hard that it cracked.

But it wasn't over yet. Geese still didn't let go, and while Terry was in pain, he gathered his strength once more.

Geese gathered blue-purple lightning energy in one hand, its ferocious power enough to tear apart a mortal body, and slammed it towards Terry.

Yan Yue had already sensed Terry's condition and hurriedly shouted, "Danger!"

"Prepare to die!" With this furious shout, he unleashed [Thunderous Wave Throw]!

Boom! A bolt of lightning swept across the top of the Geese Building, and with a deafening explosion, the center of the arena was instantly shattered, billowing thick smoke. However, Geese's expression did not improve; he stared intently at Terry, who had just escaped.

"That was close!" Terry thought to himself, relieved. The scene just now had given him a fright. If he had really been hit by that lightning, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and he would have lost his life.

"Terry, it seems I underestimated you!" Geese seemed to be somewhat admiring of Terry. "Did you just use [Circular Wave] to break free of your restraints? Not bad technique."

Terry didn't say anything, but immediately calmed down, thought for a moment, and then rushed forward again.

Terry gathered blue energy in his hands and attacked Geese with [Energy Punch].

But Geese remained completely unfazed, unleashing the [Evil Shadow Fist]!

His hands moved like afterimages, fighting Terry at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Sensing the progress of the two-person battle, Yan Yue said with some concern, "Senior Brother Terry's injuries haven't healed yet. If this continues, his gunshot wound will reopen!"

"Let's hurry up and go up now, while we can still move around."

With that, Yan Yue and Sakazaki Ryo struggled to their feet and began walking step by step toward the top floor.

Meanwhile, Terry and Geese were engaged in a thrilling battle. However, despite Terry's all-out effort, he couldn't gain the upper hand. Geese's strength and speed clearly surpassed Terry's, leaving Terry constantly on the defensive. Geese's "Shadow Fist," true to its name, was evil, ferocious, and incredibly fast, making it difficult for Terry to defend himself.

Suddenly, Geese cleverly countered Terry's move and launched a swift counterattack. He delivered a flying kick that struck Terry squarely in the stomach, sending him flying.

Terry's body tumbled through the air, and just then, Geese's hands transformed into dark power. He instantly leaped towards Terry, who was still tumbling in the air. At this moment, Terry had not yet regained his balance and was unable to assume a defensive stance.

Just then, Yan Yue suddenly sensed something. His face turned deathly pale, his body froze, and he trembled uncontrollably. Sakazaki Ryo, seeing Yan Yue's unusual behavior, looked at him with confusion, wondering what had happened.

Immediately afterward, Yan Yue suddenly unleashed a powerful force, rushing towards the rooftop at astonishing speed. His eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, as if something important was about to happen.

"Die! Terry will die!" This was the aura Yan Yue sensed in an instant. This aura was different from the killing intent he had felt before; it was more like a suffocating, chilling death aura. This feeling filled Yan Yue with fear. He knew that if he didn't arrive in time, Terry might really meet with disaster.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the rooftop was extremely tense. Geese's hands had turned dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow; death seemed imminent for Terry.

Ultimate Super Special Move: Rashomon!

"Terry, prepare to die!" Geese's hands, like a pair of ferocious dragons, charged towards Terry with unparalleled deathly aura...

Three meters... two meters... one meter... Terry's palms were about to reach him.

"Will I die?..." Terry sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Geese's palms in that instant. He felt himself getting closer and closer to death. He thought of his father's care when he was young, the laughter with his younger brother, and the sweet interactions with Angelina... He even thought of the night Geese killed his father, that move was exactly the same as now!

"No! I can't die now!" Terry suddenly turned around in mid-air, his fists bursting with powerful energy, directly hitting Geese's palms.

Super Special Move: Energy Fountain!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Boom! Terry's fist collided with Geese's palm, producing a dull thud. The entire space trembled from the force, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart.

Terry's body was thrown back by the reaction force and crashed heavily to the ground.

Geese was also knocked back several meters, his eyes revealing a firmness and determination, as if he wanted to kill Terry.

Terry knew how difficult this battle would be, but his inner conviction kept him going. He thought of his family, friends, and everyone who supported him. Their expectations and trust became his driving force, propelling him to constantly surpass himself.

"Geese!" Terry's hands were being attacked by Rashomon, and his wounds had reopened, causing him to bleed profusely. However, Terry didn't hesitate to charge at Geese again, while Geese continued to fight back using the Shadow Fist.

Just as Yan Yue caught up upstairs and breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly sensed Terry's condition and said anxiously, "Oh no! Senior Brother's wound has reopened! If the bleeding isn't stopped in time, he will still die." She rushed forward to help.

Geese stared in shock and confusion at Terry, who had suddenly changed: "Why? His moves have changed? And he can hit me?"

In the fierce exchange, Terry was still hit several times by Geese, resulting in extensive bruising and bleeding. However, Terry gradually found opportunities to counterattack. Using his agile movements and precise techniques, he began to deflect Geese's attacks time and time again, delivering powerful counterattacks.

Suddenly Terry stood up and attempted a spinning low kick to hit Geese in the head.

[Stone Smash Kick]!

Just as Geese was about to defend, Terry changed his moves in mid-air. Using the force of his heavy kick, he turned and landed, then used energy punches with both hands to launch himself into the air with an uppercut, opening up Geese's defensive hands, and then forcefully punched down with both fists.

[Energizing Dunk]!

"Bang!" Finally, Geese was hit in the cheek by Terry's energy punch, staggered back a few steps, and blood began to appear at the corner of his mouth.

"Impossible!" he muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

“Senior brother wasn’t being beaten up earlier.” At this moment, Yan Yue slowly walked forward and said to Gis.

Upon hearing this, Giss was completely stunned. He stared wide-eyed at Yan Yue, his face filled with disbelief.

Yan Yue continued calmly to Ji Si, "You and your senior brother both know Bajiquan, so you can't beat me with Bajiquan moves. But my senior brother has been wandering outside for so many years and has a strong ability to learn on his own. He has been trying to figure out your family's moves."

Upon hearing this, Geese finally understood. It turned out that Terry hadn't been using his full strength all along, but rather had sacrificed his physical health to see through his movements and find weaknesses.

"Impossible... I won't lose to a mere brat!" Geese's eyes widened in fury.

He turned abruptly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he charged toward Terry.

Seeing this, Terry quickly assumed a defensive stance.

The two engaged in another fierce close-quarters combat.
