K.O.F. The Game Of The Destiny.

Chapter 1: The First Meeting… Was Destiny

In the afternoon, it's all started. When the Youngman was sitting with that guy who raised him. It was as they were a father his son. No… THEY ARE a father and his son. The way Terry was looking at Rock, that kind look. And the way Rock was smiling at Terry, that gentle smile. The way the destiny gathered them, and until this very moment they pray god not to let the destiny separate them.

Here, Terry was tired of the silence. He wanted to break it. First, he stared at Rock then started…

"how did you do in your exam?"

Rock was shocked by this question. School finished a week ago! But then he smiled at Terry "I did great. I had A in most of the subjects."

"I knew you'll make me proud!" said a cheerful Terry.

"did you finish your meal Terry? 'cause I want to clean things up. I want to go early to play basketball!" said Rock before he stood up to take his dish to the kitchen.

Terry leaned his back on his chair "you know Rock? I was thinking… since you're the one doing the cook here… I'll clean."

Rock smiled at what Terry just said "sounds good to me!" he said as he picked up his jacket making his way to the exit.

"hey! Where are you going, Rock?" Terry said out loud.

"gonna play basketball" Rock said without turning his head to Terry to look at him.

"sure… maybe I'll join you after I finish this" Terry said while taking his dish to the kitchen.

Rock played for two hours and half. He loved to play basketball alone, but it was much more fun when he played it with Terry.

He looked at his house and whispered to himself "what's wrong? He said he'll join me!" then he chuckled "I bet he took a nap after he cleaned his dishes!"

And it was right. Terry was already asleep! That's what made Rock decide to take a walk in south town. "it's my destiny to have a lazy father!" he sighed. Then smiled to himself "but it's also a chance to see what can I buy to him for his birthday! It's after two days."

He entered a sport clothes store. Jackets, shoes and gloves.

"I don't know why I feel I should get him a glove!" he looked at the gloves until he choose one nice leather glove. After he left the store, he saw something..*smoke* "fire?" he ran there. Terry's helping spirit is in his blood even if he wasn't his real son.

He finally reached the forest "Kane?" he whispered to himself when he saw Billy Kane burning trees and woods making the fire "STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!" Rock screamed

Billy raised his head and looked at him "Rock… Howard?" he smirked "heh! This fire is a clue"

"a clue?" Rock asked confused

"a clue to get you" Kane replayed "you are the son of Geese Howard, and it's your destiny to continue his way"

Rock took a step back "I'm not that man's son" he murmured and Kane kept his smirk

"but you'll get back… no matter how you deny it. It's you destiny boy" he pointed at him then several soldiers surrounded Rock..

Rock frowned "what the hell…"

"NOW! Let's see if your Terry Bogard trained you well" he said and the soldiers started to attack

"fine! Let's settle this" Rock cried then started o use the power that he cannot control but defeated the most of them anyway

"not bad! Let's see if you can handle this!" Billy said with soldiers with weapons behind him… he walked slowly toward Rock "your father was the strongest one in South Town and you are the only heir. You WILL come back and make him proud."

Rock gave Billy the most hated look he got "that's just in your dreams" he said angrily

Billy grinned "you disappointed me, but I will not give up… I shall show you your real past" he turned to his soldiers "get him!"

"damn!" Rock ran away till he couldn't hear them. Knowing that they are still behind him, he slowed down trying to not make any sound…

Unfortunately, he stumbled and fell "dam it"

"there" he heard them say and he was about to run, but one shot him in his arm.

Once he opened his lips to cry in pain, he suddenly felt someone's hand… no, something that sounded like a hand. The hand muffled his cries of pain

"shhh! Don't you dare scream, Howard. Come with me now… silently"

The guy took Rock slowly into another place that was away from the forest. Finally, he let go of Rock's mouth.

Rock cried from the pain he was feeling in his arm… he took a couple of breaths then looked at the man who saved him. No! a young man.

The guy was looking at Rock with bored expression. He was at Rock's age.

"why?" Rock whispered

"why what?" the guy replayed

Rock looked at him tiredly "why did you save me?"

The guy turned his head looking at the sky "because I felt that I want to do it" he said calmly

Rock looked at the sky too. It was black, little stars, but it was beautiful… finally, he spoke "thanks!" the other guy came close and extended his hand to him

"come on! We have to go."

Rock took his hand "where?"

"to your house." The guy replayed "Terry must be worried about you" he started walking slowly

"you know Terry?" Rock asked confused

The guy scoffed "of course! I defeated him at the tournament"

Rock eyes widened… he never saw anyone defeats Terry before… but then again, Terry didn't win the tournament.

"can you run?" the guy asked Rock

"yeah! I can"

"then let's hurry up. I have a very bad feeling"

Rock nodded but they were stopped by a sound

"leaving so soon?" came Billy's voice who came with his soldiers

"leave this one to me" the guy said to Rock "you're injured"

Billy smiled "don't get yourself in troubles boy. It's him we're after" Billy said "leave now!"

"is this a question? Or an order?" the boy said "you have to know something… I do as I please" the boy dashed and started to attack them…

Rock noticed the flames coming out of his hand to burn the soldiers in a violent way "he's using flames power!" suddenly, he felt a hand grabbing him "let's go before pull themselves together and catch us"

Rock nodded and followed the boy. They heard Billy shout "Yeah! Run away now. You'll come back. It's your destiny to be Geese's son"

Finally, they reached Terry's house. Rock opened the door and was surprised when he saw Terry in the living room

"you're still awake?" he asked Terry who looked at him

"where have you been all night?"

"umm… shopping?" Rock replayed

"very funny" Terry looked at his arm "Rock… you're injured"

"don't worry. It's nothing" Rock replayed "this guy says he defeated you at the tournament" Rock said pointing behind him

"Rocky! There's no one behind you"

"wha!" Rock turned and found that the guy was gone

"well then.." Terry said "go to your room and rest. I'll take a nap"

"Terry"

"mmm?"

"I_ I bought you a glove for your birthday, but… I lost it there" he sighed

"never mind Rock… never mind" he said entering his room as Rock did after him.

'Who was that guy' he thought

In the other room, Terry sat on his bed. He was still worried about what happened to Rock "the one who defeated me at the tournament? It must be him. Something is going on and I'll get ready to face it."

He stood and went to the window side looking at the sunrise "this is it! We're in the game now… the game of destiny"
