The fighters square off

In the first round of the crossover Street Fighter/King of Iron Fist tournament, Laura and Julia had been chosen to fight. They entered the stone arena in an old ruin of a Colosseum. There were hundreds in attendance: All the world's greatest fighters and those who paid a great deal to watch live. There were also drones projecting the fight around the world.

Julia and Laura entered the ring. They eyed each other, gauging their foes.

"So, you're the Indian girl?" Laura asked. "Where's your feather headdress?"

"Oh come on, we're not all stereotypes!" Julia scoffed. In fact, Julia had worn a feathered headdress to her first tournament, which her tribe made fun of her ceaselessly for.

"Fighter's... ready!" The announcer said. Both girls took a fighting stance. Julia began dancing in place, light on her feet. Laura crouched low, grinning.

"And... begin!"
