NECRO-Driver Dawn EP 19: True Colors Emerge

*The crowd cheers with the same passion and energy that they have had all throughout the day! They begin chanting Baron's name, but then… (Play Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 OST Light of Justice (Fused Zamasu) Theme)

Kai: *Disappointed sigh* Well, looks like this isn't going to be fun for me. Looks like I'll just have to end things here.

Baron Hampton: You might as well forfeit, you're getting wrecked scrub!

Kai: What a shame, and here I was looking for a challenge.

*Just then, Kai turns the table and begins destroying Baron. He wins back to back rounds, taking the second fight.

Ayumi: *Surprised voice* This is unbelievable! Big brother has lost a fight?! This has never happened before folks! Big brother has never lost a fight, let alone a round!

*The crowd does a collective gasp before they begin booing Kai…*

Baron Hampton: (What? I lost? But how?! I never lose at anything, especially fighting games!) A lucky victory, but I can assure you that won't be happening again.

Kai: So you say…

*After Kai takes the second fight, they move on to the third fight. Unfortunately for Baron Hampton, things won't always go well. He loses the third fight, dropping the first set. Things continue to get worse for Baron as Kai takes the next 2 sets, not even dropping a single round to Baron. Kai has now gone up 3 sets to 0, and has only lost 3 rounds to this point. He is currently just 2 rounds away from winning the tournament…*

Baron Hampton: *Stares at the screen in complete disbelief and shock. His breath, in random patterns while he gasps for air and understanding.*

Kai: Please don't tell me that's all you've got Baron. I mean come on, I'm barely warmed up here.

Ayumi: This has gotten even more unbelievable folks! Big brother is now down 3 sets to 0, and is in danger of losing the tournament!

*The crowd lets out a seemingly endless amount of boos. Some of them threaten to go onto the stage and fight Kai themselves… Ayumi has to calm the fans and ask them to please wait in their seats, and avoid doing anything that would break the rules.*

Baron Hampton: (I don't get it… I am the great Baron Hampton! I am a legendary steak raiser, a champion of the people. I am the greatest fighting game player to ever exist, there's no way I could ever be beaten!) This is unacceptable!

Kai: What's the matter? You're the one who started this game, but you only want to play if you're winning, is that it?

Baron Hampton: *Continues to try and make sense of this totally unbelievable situation he has found himself…*

Kai: What's wrong Baron? Where's your legion of adoring fans? Where is… your pride?

(Baron Hampton's mind continuously sinks into depressing an abyss that most have no hope of escaping. His mind filled with the thoughts of letting down his fans, being a failure, and dropping the steaks instead of raising the steaks… (what a loser he is) He appears ready to give up when…)

Ayumi: Big brother!

Baron Hampton: *Regains is presence of mind*

Ayumi: You can do it big brother! You have to believe in yourself, just like all the fans and myself believe in you! We're all here to raise the steaks, and we'll never stop doing that so long as we live!

Baron Hampton: Believe…

Ayumi: C'mon everybody! Let's give Baron all of our support! He needs us to help him raise the steaks! C'mon, raise your hands in the air and raise the steaks with me!

Ayumi/The Crowd: *In unison, they all lift up their hands and begin to chant.* RAISE THE STEAKS! RAISE THE STEAKS! RAISE THE STEAKS!

Baron Hampton: Ayumi… Everyone… They're all cheering me on… I can't lose, I have to find a way to come back!

Kai: Oh please, this is just disgusting to watch. You all are so inept and brainless, you all make me sick. I hope you all rot like the steaks you claim to raise.

*Everyone in the city gasps and begins booing and throwing their steak plushies at Kai. Not only did they throw their plushies, but they also threw Baron Hampton and Ayumi action figures.*

Baron Hampton: Alright that's it!

(Play -Red Riot Theme |My Hero Academia-) *Everyone in the crowd goes silent, all eyes attentive on Baron.*

Kai: Oh?

Baron Hampton: I admit, you've done well to push me back this far Kai. I haven't felt this pressure since ever. But this is where I draw the line! You can take away my fighting game title, you can say whatever you want about me, and you can even insult the legend Baki Hanma! But anyone who dares disrespects Ayumi or our fans… IS GONNA PAAAAAY! *Power up scream*

*Baron Hampton powers up in a fit of rage! The crowd cheers and jumps from joy! The city is filled with the heart and soul of all the steak raisers in the world, or at least the ones that could fit inside the city anway…

Baron Hampton: Now then, what do you say we wrap this up?

Kai: If you insist…

*Running on pure adrenaline, and the love and support from his sister and legion of fans, Baron Hampton resumes fighting in the match. Having been down 3 sets to 0, Baron Hampton wins the next 12 rounds without dropping a single one. Not having won since the 2nd fight, Baron has completely flipped the momentum, and has now gained all of it.

Kai: I see… perhaps this won't be as boring as I thought.

Baron Hampton: Sorry Kai, but I'm here to win. And you sealed your fate the moment you insulted Ayumi, and the steak raisers of the world!

Kai: Just play already…

Ayumi: Wow what an amazing turn of events! Big brother has just won the last 12 rounds without dropping a single one! He has now evened the match to 3 sets a piece, tying the series to 3-3! Whoever wins the next four rounds, will be the winner of the tournament!

The Crowd: Baron! Baron! Baron!

*Despite having the momentum in his favor, Kai easily takes the first 2 rounds and takes the first fight. Baron Hampton takes the first round of the next match, but then quickly loses the second. Baron is now one round away from losing the tournament.*

Ayumi: Big brother is one round away from losing the tournament! Will we let that happen everyone?

The Crowd: NO!

Ayumi: No we won't! We need to give big brother more support! C'mon everyone, RAISE THE STEAKS! RAISE THE STEAKS!

The Crowd: RAISE THE STEAKS! RAISE THE STEAKS!

Baron Hampton: *Pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts*

Kai: Rethinking your life decisions?

Baron Hampton: Nah… Just thinking that I'm a damn good actor for letting you think you had a chance of winning.

Kai: What?

Baron Hampton: I guess I should stop holding back now.

*And as soon as he said that, he utterly crushes Kai. Baron takes the next 3 rounds, getting perfect victories in all of them. With these victories, Baron takes the last set, winning the match 4-3. Baron retains his crown of fighting game champ*

Ayumi: He did it! Big brother has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the tournament! I don't think this has ever been done before, mostly because big brother never loses! Let's hear it for our defending champion, Baron Hampton!

*The crowd goes crazy yet again for Baron. The city is full of cheers and screams of pure joy and excitement.*

Ayumi: Baron, after a complete display of mastery, how do you feel? Give us your thoughts!

Baron Hampton: I just wanna thank my good friend Baki Hanma, for always helping me with my training. I'd like to give a huge thank you to our fans and my wonderful sister Ayumi for always believing in me! You're invited to the after party!

Ayumi: He truly is a man of the people!

*Everyone (except Kai) continuously chant raise the steaks.*

Baron Hampton: Hey Kai!

Kai: …

Baron Hampton: *Extends out his arm with a confident smile*

Kai: I hope you're not expecting me to shake your hand.

Baron Hampton: Wow, so unsportsmanlike! I was gonna say good game to you. But since you want to play it that way… GG EASY! GET WRECKED NOOB HEHE XD LOLZ!

Kai: *Sly smirk*

Baron Hampton: What are you smiling for?

Kai: Oh, no special reason. We'll meet again Baron…

Baron Hampton: Hey wait-

*Kai randomly vanishes in a cloud of smoke that covers the entire stage. Baron and Ayumi cover their eyes, while the crowd gasps and screams in shock for a brief moment.*

Kai: I promise you!

Ayumi: WHOA! What was that about?

Baron Hampton: I don't know, that was so bizarre.

Ayumi: It really was, but at least no one got hurt. Well anyway, thanks for watching the tournament everyone! Up next is our final event before the raffle! The moment you've all been waiting for, my special singing performance!

Baron Hampton: Let's hear it for Ayumi everyone!

(At this point, I bet you can already guess what the crowd is doing, so I'm not even gonna mention it) *Some people come to haul away the gaming equipment and everything else on the stage. They remove a giant tarp that had been there earlier, revealing a brand new stage made specially for Ayumi. The crowd oohs and ahhs, and Baron Hampton jumps right down into the front row next to some of his fans.*
