The TSD Kids:

The S.P.F. Gang!

Lv. 2

Sorry About That!

Part 1

So far things have gotten off to a good start. Tessa, Sakura, Cotton, and I made it quite a ways and arrived in the next town.

Tessa: “You’re sure this is the way they were headed?”

T: “I remember it plain as day. They headed north.”

Sakura: “I hope we find them soon.”

Cotton the Bunny: “(I think it’s going to take a bit longer than you think.)”

Tessa: “I remember this town. I heard it was one of the best because it had a strong police force.”

T: “Why is that the case?”

Tessa: “I hear it’s mainly because of one person…”

Sakura: “Who could that be?”

“Stop! Hold it right there!”

Just then, we saw a kid holding some candy run by followed by a girl wearing blue clothing, brown tights, and white boots, not to mention a pair of spiked bracelets!

Tessa: “I think that’s her…”

“Freeze! I’ll stop you if it’s the last thing I do!”

She was swinging a pair of handcuffs, but then she tripped and fell! The boy dived under a fence with all the candy he held. We walked over to her.

Sakura: “Are you okay?”

T: “You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?”

“Oh, I can’t believe this…”

She sat up, and stared at the ground in a frustrated way.

“First I let those perps get away, and now this… I can’t even catch a little shoplifter… what’s happened to me?!”

T: “Hey, calm down, there’s no need to yell…”

Sakura: “Maybe you’re just having a lousy day.”

“Yeah, maybe…”

Tessa:“Hmm… you must the famous policewoman, Chun-Li, aren’t you?”

Chun-Li: “Yeah, that’s me!”

She showed us to her office.

“I’ve heard you’re one of the best around,” I said, looking at a picture of her.

Sakura: “But it looks like you’re having a rough day.”

Chun-Li: “Yeah…”

T: “You know, when I’m feeling frustrated, I just go and train.”

Chun-Li: “That’s it! I just had such a busy schedule that I couldn’t do that! And I know the best place to let off some steam!”

T: “Which would be…?”

T
T: “…The gym??”

In a matter of moments, Chun-Li led us to the local gym in town! There were lots of men and women using large training equipment.

Sakura: “This place smells…”

Tessa: “It’s to be expected when everyone sweats a lot.”

Chun-Li: “Hey, there are two of my friends over there!”

We went into another room. The two friends of hers that were beating the stuffing out of the punching bags were…

T: “Hey, it’s Ryu!”

Tessa: “And Ken’s here, too.”

Ryu was wearing a white karate gi and a red headband. Ken was wearing a red karate gi.

Ryu: “Hey there, Sakura, long time no see. Have you been training?”

Sakura: “I sure have! I’m getting better!”

Ryu: “That’s good to hear. And who’s this?”

Chun-Li: “This is T.”

Ken: “I’ve heard of you! You’re the leader of the TSD Kids.”

T: “That’s right.”

Ryu: “You must be pretty strong; how about a match?”

T: “With you? Sure!”

We both stepped into an empty wrestling ring.

Sakura: “I don’t know who to root for!”

Cotton: “(Go for it, T!)”

T: “Yeah!”

I pulled my hammer from the sheath from my back.

T: “I, uh… hope you don’t mind that I use my hammer. It’s not sharp or anything…”

Ryu: “Don’t worry about me; I’ve fought against guys that carried more than what you have!”

We began instantly. I rushed at him and swung my hammer. He blocked it with a kick!

Ryu: “You’re pretty strong!”

T: “Same to you!”

I jumped back, then he did the…

Ryu: “Hadou-ken!”

It looked just like the one Sakura did, but it was a bit larger. Obviously, she did learn it from him. I had naught to do but defend against it! It sent me back slightly.

T: “All right, take this; T Tornado!”

I spun at high speed as I moved towards him. Then he started spinning around in midair, holding his leg out. The moment we collided, we were sent to the opposite sides of the ring!

T: “Ouch! That was pretty good!”

Ryu: “It’s time to finish this!”

But before we could do anything, we heard a loud ear-splitting whistle!

Tessa: “Who did that??”

A short man walked into the ring.

Chun-Li: “It’s the gym instructor.”

“Hey, guys, why not call it quits for now, eh?”

Ken: “What’re you talking about? They just started.”

“No, I mean you guys are tearing up the place with your training sessions!”

We looked around. There were ripped sandbags on the floor and Hadou-ken burn marks on the walls!

Ryu: “I guess we did… overdo it a little…”

“Yeah, so why not take a breather and let me clean this place up, huh? For a couple of days, maybe…”

Cotton: “(Yeah, let’s go; that sweaty smell is overwhelming!)”

We high-tailed it back to Chun-Li’s office to relax.

T: “Well, that match may not have been long enough, but I know you’re good!”

Ryu: “Heh, you too.”

Ken: “We’ve been training since we were young.”

Chun-Li: “(Sigh)”

Sakura: “What’s wrong? Do you still feel down?”

Chun-Li: “I still can’t believe I let those weird people get away.”

Tessa: “Well, what did they look like? Maybe we can help you catch them.”

Ryu: “Ken and I came across them too. They were wearing black… a lot of them.”

T: “Wearing black…?”

Ken: “They also had these weird double ‘G’ emblems on their hats…”

T: “Double ‘G’ emblems…?”

Chun-Li: “Not only that, but they had this strange ‘O’ emblem on the front of their shirts!”

T: “…The O emblem!”

Sakura: “Judging by these details, they sound like they could be none other than…”

T: “GUARD GUYS!! I knew it!!”

Sakura: “I was gonna say ‘total weirdoes’, but okay, let’s call them ‘Guard Guys’…”

Tessa: “Have you met these Guard Guys before, T?”

Cotton: “(We sure did! They’re these meanies that work for the Organization!)”

Chun-Li: “I’ve heard about the Organization. You came across them?”

T: “Yeah, my friends and I took them on. A while back, we searched for these Elemental Stones because they wanted to use them for a world takeover plot. It just so happened that we were the ones destined to use them for the greater good.”

I showed them my Wind Stone as an example.

Tessa: “That’s an interesting magical artifact! I’ve done some reading on those Stones, especially that one. Is it true that somewhere along the line, there was one who used it for evil?”

T: “I’ve heard there was an evil guy…”

Ryu: “Hey these Stones are cool and everything, but what about the Organization?”

Sakura: “I’d like to know more, too.”

Cotton: “(Well, those people that work for the Organization are called Guard Guys…)”

T: “He means the male members… the female members are called Guard Gals. The uniforms are, of course, just as Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li described.”

Chun-Li: “Black and tacky?”

T: “Black and tacky…”

Tessa: “I see…”

Suddenly, we heard a crash!

Cotton: “(What was that?!)”

Tessa: “It came from outside!”

Chun-Li: “Let’s go; maybe it’s them again!”

Part 2

We all ran outside and looked up. Guard Guys in jetpacks flew across the sky towards the center of the city!

T: “Just as I thought; those creeps are back!”

Just then, a large square-shaped shadow formed under us.

Ryu: “What’s this??”

Tessa looked up, and said,

“Oh, it’s just a giant block…”

We thought about this then…

All: “GIANT BLOCK?!”

T: “Wind!”

After transforming, I blew everyone out of the way, but I didn’t have enough time to run from under it!

SLAM!!

Ryu: “He saved us!”

Tessa: “But he got crushed by the block!”

Suddenly, I stepped out of the block, intangible!

Sakura: “AAHH!! He’s a ghost now!”

T: “No I’m not! This is just the power of wind right here!”

I turned solid.

Chun-Li: “Who does your hair?”

She commented on my hair, which was a silvery-white with two teardrop-shaped tufts of hair (one bigger than the other was) at the front of my head.

T: “Oh this? Nice, isn’t it? Of course, you can only see it when I transform.”

I reverted back to normal. Then we examined the weird cube.

Ken: “What is this thing?”

Sakura: “Is it a Tetris block?”

Tessa: “I don’t think Tetris blocks fall from the sky to try and crush people, Sakura.”

T: “Whatever it is, those guys dropped this thing! Let’s get to the center of town!”

We headed for the center of the city.

Cotton: “(What is this??)”

We could’ve gone further into town, had it not been for the peculiar wall blocking our entry!

Sakura: “Did the Organization set up this giant wall?”

T: “Look at the ‘O’ emblems and tell me it’s not the Organization!”

Chun-Li: “We’ve got to get through here! I have to get them!”

Ryu: “I can take part of this down with one hit! Hadou-ken!”

Ryu’s Hadou-ken hit the wall, but all it left was a burn mark!

Ryu: “What?”

Ken: “Here, I’ll help.”

Ryu:“Okay.”

Ken’s Hadou-ken, which had a more fiery color, hit the wall next to Ryu’s own, but the result was the same!

Ken: “This wall is stronger than I thought.”

T: “Hmm…”

I went up to the wall, with A.N.A.L.Y.Z.E.R. in hand.

Sakura: “What’re you doing?”

Cotton: “(He’s scanning the wall.)”

T: “It would seem that the pressure points for this here wall are right… here.”

I pointed to a spot just above the burn marks.

Ryu: “Good, then we’ll just hit there…”

T: “Don’t worry, I got this one!”

Seeing as how I was within close range, I used the…

T: “TNT Punch!”

BOOM!!

I struck where I found the weak spot and the part of the wall crumbled to bits!

Tessa: “…How’d you do that??”

T: “It’s all in the gloves, Tessa… it’s all in the gloves.”

I showed them the TNT Gloves before we all went in.

Chun-Li: “Not bad!”

Cotton: “(That’s not all he can do!)”

Ken: “Eh, we probably softened it up for him…”

As we ran down the main road, we saw more Guard Guys flying high in the sky to the center of town.

Chun-Li: “Whoa… what in the world is that?!”

We looked up and saw a giant robot with lots of arms flailing about wildly and smashing into walls!

T: “My guess is… the Organization’s latest crackpot scheme.”

“What? What’s all this now??”

Suddenly, a hatch in the robot opened, and a familiar man appeared from it…

“Hey! Please leave my sight at once!”

Ryu: “Who is that?”

Chun-Li: “Is he piloting that large robot?”

T: “(Sigh) Just when I thought I’ve seen the last of ya, you just keep on coming back!”

“What’s this?? What’re you talking about?”

T: “Dr. Graymatter, I know it’s you!!”

Tessa: “Dr… who??”

Cotton: “(That’s Dr. Graymatter. He’s this mad scientist guy who’s always creating crazy inventions to ruin our day!)”

Sakura: “That, and he’s with the Organization, right?”

T: “Right.”

Graymatter: “Well, look who it is… you’re that mallet-wielding munchkin who destroyed my wonderful cannon… where are your friends? I don’t think I’ve controlled them recently…”

T: “Cut the crap, guy! Why are you here?”

Graymatter: “That’s none of your business, boy! Since Edge has sent me here, I’m sure he’ll be more than pleased to hear that I’ve finally destroyed you! Now… tell those commoners there with you to leave so I can deal with you personally!”

Sakura: “We’re not leaving!”

Tessa: “Any enemy of T’s is an enemy of ours!”

Ken: “What, that thing got only enough power to deal with him?”

Graymatter: “As you wish… I’ll trounce you all with my state-of-the-art Octo-bot 2000!”

He went back into the machine and started advancing towards us.

T: “I’m getting tired of his inventions…”

Chun-Li: “T, look out!”

T: “Huh?”

Suddenly, a barrage of metallic tentacles rushed my way! Chun-Li jumped in front of me, and in a flash, sent the arms back with a barrage of multiple kicks!

T: “Whoa! That’s some fancy footwork you got goin’ there!”

Chun-Li: “Thanks; that’s not all I can do!”

Graymatter: “Those others are more than just commoners... all right! Get ready to be schooled!”

A huge block, much like the one that deigned to crush us, fell from an airship into several of his arms and he tossed it at us!

Graymatter: “Hey, what happened to the heavier blocks?!”

Ryu: “Not another one!”

A.N.A.L.Y.Z.E.R.: Do not worry; this block seems considerably lighter than the last one!

Sakura: “I got it!”

T: “Me too!”

While I readied my hammer, Sakura pulled out a tennis racket, and together, we knocked the surprisingly light block back onto the Octo-bot!

Graymatter: OW! You…!”

He looked like he was going to use the tentacles again. Then, Tessa made a flying broom appear.

Tessa: “If we can disable those tentacles somehow, we’ll gain the upper hand. You can fly, right, T?”

T: “Sure can!”

After I transformed, we both went in the air and started flying around the Octo-bot.

Graymatter: “I’ll squash you like flies if you don’t stop bugging me!”

Tessa: “Not a chance!”

We flew in and out and between every tentacle, and in no time…

Ken: “Hah! He’s all tied up!”

Struggling to loosen the knots, the Octo-bot tripped and fell over! We then saw a glowing yellow spot on its underside!

Cotton: “(That’s gotta be the weak point!)”

Ryu: “Leave this to me!”

Ryu ran up to the robot, then…

Ryu: “Shoryuken!”

He did an uppercut-like dragon punch straight to it! Soon, the robot started to smoke and malfunction!

Graymatter: “No! Time to retreat, boys!”

He escaped from the robot’s cockpit before it blew up! The chair he sat on turned into a mini-rocket!

Graymatter: “This isn’t the end!!”

He rocketed off!

T: “Hey, get back here! Rats…”

Seeing as the Doc ran off, the forces retreated swiftly!

Chun-Li: “We did it!”

Sakura: “Now they won’t be bothering us anymore!”

T: “Sorry, Sakura; but it’s far from over…”

Tessa: “The Organization’s interference will definitely make our search for your friends a lot more difficult…”

T: “Yeah, unless… you three would be willing to help us out…?”

Ryu: “Why not? Maybe they’ll pose a challenge!”

Ken: “I’m up for it!”

Chun-Li: “What’s this about finding your friends?”

T: “I never did tell you three yet; my friends, the rest of the TSD Kids, that is, went to go to this tournament, but after getting this odd letter, I got worried, so…”

Sakura: “So we’re gonna go find them!”

Chun-Li: “I get it! This is, like, the case of a lifetime! As a certified policewoman and detective, you’ve no choice but to let me join you!”

T: “O-of course!”

After making the necessary preparations, we headed out of town and hit the road. About a ways down the road…

Ryu: “Are we getting anywhere?”

Sakura: “I really don’t know…”

Tessa: “Hmm… T, I’ve been meaning to ask you something… just how are we to track down your friends again?”

T: “We’ll be using… these!!”

I turned around and held several letters in my hand, like playing cards, up to their faces!

Chun-Li: “Oh, I get it! You’re going to have Tessa turn them into giant paper airplanes, and then we search from the skies?”

T: “No, silly! Each one of these letters were addressed from my friends, recounting when and where they’ve been, and we’ll head to these destinations to get any leads!”

Ken: “That makes sense!”

Tessa: “Yes, it does…”

Cotton: “(That’s our T for ya!)”

T: “Right then, so what are we doing standing around here for? Let’s go!”

I know that we’ll find the others sooner or later, and we pwn any bad guys that get in our way!
