Ground Wrecker

= GAMEPLAY INFO: =
== Special Moves: ==
* Ground Quake: QCF + LA (He stomps the ground, unleashing a straight ground wave to his opponent, similar to Juggernaut.)
* Seismic Dome: Tap D three times + LA (He puts his hands to the ground, generating a rocky dome that protects himself from enemy attacks for five seconds.)
* Rock 'n Roll: B, F + MA (He turns himself into a rock and rolls towards his opponent before he returns to normal. Can be done in air too, where he bounces towards his opponent.)
* Grounded Piledriver: DP + HA (He hops upwards to his airborne opponent and grabs him/her, followed by slamming him/her with a piledriver to the ground.)
* Earthly Pillar: QCB + A (He rises his hand, generating a pillar that hits his opponent. Location varies depending on the button: closer [LA], medium [MA] or farther [HA].)
== Superdrive: ==
Man of Rocks: Ground Wrecker dons a rocky armor that allows him to raise his strength by 5% at the cost of lowering his speed. The visual difference is that the rocky armor covers most of his outfit.
== Powered Charges: ==
* Shaking Avalanche: QCFx2 + LA (He stomps the ground, tripping his opponent, with rocks falling upwards that hits him/her many times at contact. His Superdrive version, has more falling rocks that covers almost the screen.)
* Grand Tremor: QCBx2 + MA (He summons a rock pillar where his opponent is located, flying him/her to the ground. His Superdrive version, rises the pillar's size twice and dealing more damage up to total of five hits.)
== Ultimate Charge: ==
* Buried But Not Alive*: HCFx2 + HA (The background turns into a dark blue hexagon pattern with his emblem appearing in the center for a while as Ground Wrecker prepares by pumping his chest like a gorilla and then headbutts his opponent. Once it connects, the background turns black as he starts to create two earth pillars and launches said pillars to his opponent, hitting his/her in the torso, falling him/her to the ground. Then he grabs a big rock and jumps as he says "Say goodbye to your life!" and throws said rock to female opponent, effectively burying her deep down to the death. After the attack, he takes a deep breath before he crosses his arms as he says "Hmph! You're worthless piece of dung!". If done against Greed-O-Crazy, he puts his fists to his hips as he laughs before he says "This city is now mine for the taking!" instead.)
* = Requires the Maximum Charge Indicator to perform. Your opponent must have 25% of health in your winning round
= MISC.: =
* Voice Actor: Fred Tatasciore (English), Ryouma Baba (Japanese), Abraham Vega (Latin American Spanish)
* Intro Sequence: Ground Wrecker walks to the scene while he cracks his knuckles and then says "You're going to be buried deep down!" before he goes to his fighting stance.
* Victory Sequence: Ground Wrecker says "Never mess with my earthquakes!" before he stomps the ground, unleashing two pillars around him and then he crosses his arms as he laughs.
* Stage: Construction Area (Stage Transitions: Yes)
== Stage Transitions: ==
* Workshop: Located at the right corner of the stage. The transitions starts with the victim flying upwards before he/she gets hooked by a construction crane, spinning it to 360° three times until it sents him/her falling to the inner building. Afterwards, the victim gets up as the player appears at the left side, continuing with the fight.
* Inner Building: Located at the right corner of the stage. The transitions starts with the victim being knocked out to a scaffolding, until an elevator below hits him/her down. We see how said elevator falls with the victim until it sends him/her back to the workshop. Afterwards, the victim gets up as the player appears at the right side, continuing with the fight.

Morani Tetemeko is the only son of a Kenyan architect who organized the constructions of the best buildings in Wonder City for the Workers' Syndicate. However, when his father got fired from the syndicate over ownership disputes, he had enough of their politics. It's then when he decides to become a violent protester, demolishing every building authorized by the syndicate.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Living Swarm ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Tragic Favela. Ground Wrecker nods that he has no buildings to demolish while walking, until he hears a familiar voice.)
????: "Destroying buildings as always, Morani?"
Ground Wrecker: "Who are you to judge?"
(Living Swarm shows up to scene as he sees Ground Wrecker.)
Living Swarm: "I am, and what are you seeing here is not compared to what you do."
Ground Wrecker: "So, are you explaining that those destroyed buildings are caused by Mother Nature's wrath?"
Living Swarm: "And as a result of it, a swarm of Zika-infested mosquitoes arise in the rainy forest of Brazilia."
Ground Wrecker: "What happened afterwards?"
Living Swarm: "Many people died by their stings..." *a Zika-infested mosquito is put in one of his hands* "Except me, which I'm capable to control them at will."
Ground Wrecker: "Ngifakaze kimi! (Translation: Prove it to me!)"
Living Swarm: "As you wish."
(Living Swarm commands his mosquitoes to attack while Ground Wrecker does an earthquake, before both of them step to the square one.)
Ground Wrecker: "Not bad, but are you capable to stop me?" *readies his fighting stance*
Living Swarm: *commands his mosquitoes to surround him* "The living swarm and I will enjoy your silence."
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Ground Wrecker grabs a battered and bruised Living Swarm upwards.)
Ground Wrecker: "You're not so menacing now!"
Living Swarm: "Ugh! Why you hate the Worker's Syndicate?"
Ground Wrecker: "They fired my father, who happened to be one of their best workers over ownership disputes."
(Ground Wrecker throws Living Swarm farther, but he's saved by his mosquitoes, which grouped themselves as a carpet for him to step.)
Living Swarm: "You are a complete fool for starting a war that you will never finish."
Ground Wrecker: "By the way, this is our war! A war that we partake against those pesky members of The Team!"
Living Swarm: "Perhaps you do have a point."
Ground Wrecker: "The Worker's Syndicate will pay for firing my father! In fact, join the Supervillain Resistance!"
(Living Swarm commands his mosquitoes to form a punch to attack, knocking him to the ground.)
Living Swarm: "I will never serve Techno-Hacker in first place."
Ground Wrecker: "I thought that together will conquer Wonder City!"
Living Swarm: "Save your conquest for yourself... I got more victims to inflict pain on my own."
(Living Swarm leaves the scene by using the mosquito carpet from earlier. The camera focus on Ground Wrecker talking with Techno-Hacker with a device that summons the latter's hologram.)
Techno-Hacker (via hologram): "Did you recruit Living Swarm to our Resistance?"
Ground Wrecker: "Sadly, no. He rejected my offer."
Techno-Hacker (via hologram): "Too bad... but at last you can count on me."
Ground Wrecker: "Affirmative, master."
Techno-Hacker (via hologram): "Good luck on your revenge against the Syndicate."
Ground Wrecker: "Njengokuthanda kwakho. (Translation: As you wish.)"
(Ground Wrecker finishes the conversation with Techno-Hacker and immediately leaves the scene.)
== Stage 7 Interlude - VS. Heart Guardian ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Neo-Tokyo Plaza's First Floor. Heart Guardian sees the people that are holding negative signs against her with contempt, until Ground Wrecker shows up.)
Ground Wrecker: "Heh, heh! I finally found you, Sayuri Wakaba!"
Heart Guardian: "So, you must be the one who criticized my music in first place."
Ground Wrecker: "Yeah, I never liked your songs! You almost gave me diabetes!"
Heart Guardian: "Hey! My songs are not candy!"
Ground Wrecker: "Not everyone likes J-Pop! In fact, you should thank me for freeing from that privacy-controlling agency."
(Heart Guardian appoints her wand to Ground Wrecker's neck.)
Heart Guardian: "Be careful what you say, piece of kuso!"
Ground Wrecker: "Are you referring me as udoti (Translation: dung)?"
Heart Guardian: *smirks* "Exactly, yaro! (Translation: jerk!)"
(Heart Guardian launches a magical energy from her wand, knocking Ground Wrecker to the ground before he gets up. Both are now in the square one.)
Ground Wrecker: "I'm just stating facts, bossy girl!" *goes to his fighting stance* "But your time is up!"
Heart Guardian: *spins her wand for a while* "Then prepare to be punished in the name of the hearts!"
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Heart Guardian is knocked out but still capable of talking as Ground Wrecker laughs.)
Ground Wrecker: "You lost! I won!"
Heart Guardian: "You are not getting away with your violent crusade!"
Ground Wrecker: "For your information, you actually murdered a stalker. That makes you a criminal as I am."
(Heart Guardian gets up.)
Heart Guardian: "But I did that in self defense. He tried to break my "No Date" clause in front of the people!"
Ground Wrecker: "We are not different! In fact, I offer you to join the Supervillain Resistance. Do you accept my offer or not?"
Heart Guardian: "That Resistance is not of my business... but what it's true is that I fed up with those baka-tachi that turned their backs on superpowered people like us!"
Ground Wrecker: "And what are you actually planning?"
Heart Guardian: "Rebelling against The Team!"
(Mach Volcano shows up in front of Ground Wrecker as he steps where Heart Guardian is located.)
Mach Volcano: "You are a fool for resisting against us!"
Ground Wrecker: "What?"
Heart Guardian: "Sooner or later, we will make those orokamono-tachi citizens bow before us! And you will never do anything to stop our incoming rebellion."
(Heart Guardian and Mach Volcano kiss each other, shocking Ground Wrecker.)
Ground Wrecker: "I knew it! You are a huge hypocrite, Sayuri!"
Heart Guardian: "Sorry to interrupt this, but we're leaving! Sayonara!"
(Heart Guardian grabs Mach Volcano's hips as both of them leave with the fire using hero flying. We cut to Ground Wrecker stomping the ground out of frustration, generating a big earthquake that demolishes the plaza as the citizens escape.)
Ground Wrecker: "Once I finish with the mayor, I will dig their tombs deeper, traitors!"
== Mid-Boss Cutscene: ==
(Scene takes place in the mayor's office. The doors are open as Ground Wrecker is entering. Greed-O-Crazy greets him.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "Sawubona, Morani Tetemeko!"
Ground Wrecker: "Explain yourself why my father got fired from the Workers' Syndicate!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "La razón es simple (Translation: The reason is simple): The Syndicate never approved of your father's revolutionary ideas to build these marvelous wonders you're seeing here, including the very place you are stepping in."
Ground Wrecker: "So this means you're involved in that conspiracy."
Greed-O-Crazy: "Heh! The Syndicate's members are not dumb to trust your father."
Ground Wrecker: "What do you said?"
Greed-O-Crazy: "¡Qué siempre tienen razón! (Translation: That always are right!) Your father insisted to his fellow workers that they should build with primitive materials such as mud and earth instead of cement."
Ground Wrecker: "He actually created a mix with said materials, combined with a formula that makes them stronger to demolitions."
Greed-O-Crazy: "But his ideas are dumb, and so is your plan to undo the Syndicate!"
Ground Wrecker: *cracks his knuckles* "Never ever insult my father!"
(Greed-O-Crazy gets up from his seat, presses a button to summon a powered armor for him to wear, and starts to walk to the square one.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "As a matter of fact, I run the Worker's Syndicate! Be glad they recurred to the same formula instead of your father's."
Ground Wrecker: "Until I finish you, I will demolish the Worker's Syndicate!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "¡No por mucho tiempo! (Translation: Not for a long time!)"
(Both assume their fighting stances.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(Greed-O-Crazy is defeated but he gets up easily.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "¡Esta es una injusticia! ¡Te voy a correr por atacarme! (Translation: This is an injustice! I'll fire you for attacking me!"
Ground Wrecker: "Until you solve this problem of mine, I'll leave in peace!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Remember that I'm the law here! I'm one of the most influential figures in this city, Superfreak!"
(Ground Wrecker claps his hands to generate two earthly walls that trap Greed-O-Crazy, struggling with them.)
Ground Wrecker: "You only have a few seconds to survive, mayor."
Greed-O-Crazy: "If only I implant you a nanobomb to your head and explode it, you couldn't survive."
????: "Your time is up, mayor!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Eeh!"
(The walls dissapear as a white energy ray is coming somewhere and it hits Greed-O-Crazy, effectively dissintegrating him to death via black silhouette before the camera returns to normal.)
Ground Wrecker: "So, he's not that dead as I thought."
(And it turns out, the one who did it, turns out it's Major Megapower, whom everyone thought he was dead, but in reality, he's alive and well. He shows up to scene.)
Major Megapower: "Affirmative, Morani. I'm really good as alive!"
Ground Wrecker: "Why you didn't stop the Worker's Syndicate for firing my father?"
Major Megapower: "I understand your reasons for you to have a beef with them, but demolishing their buildings is not your answer."
Ground Wrecker: "Truth is... I enjoyed doing so!"
Major Megapower: "Why not use your powers for something positive?"
Ground Wrecker: "Because the citizens turned their backs on superbeings like me."
Major Megapower: "However, you can count on me. Only you need to stop destroying these buildings."
Ground Wrecker: "What?"
(Major Megapower grabs Ground Wrecker's arm and goes flying with him to an abandoned observatory. Later, we cut to both of them landing to scene.)
Major Megapower: "Listen to me! You are actually unleashing the wrath of the true responsible of this war game."
Ground Wrecker: "And what I need to stop it?"
Major Megapower: "Repent yourself from your blind revenge against the syndicate! Only that will free yourself from this."
Ground Wrecker: "You think you are helping me? Of course I don't!"
(Both assume their fighting stances.)
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Major Megapower is trying to get up.)
Major Megapower: "You are not worthy of a redemption!"
Ground Wrecker: "If I really accept it, why not change the system with me?"
Major Megapower: "The system is not the problem... there will be something worse."
(Just as Ground Wrecker tries to help Major Megapower, the screen turns black as we hear Major Megapower's death scream followed by blood splattering sounds by an unknown force before it retuns back to normal as Ground Wrecker gets disgueted.)
Ground Wrecker: "Urgh! This is unnaceptable!"
????: "What you are seeing here is beyond human compression."
Ground Wrecker: "And you must be the one behind this injustice."
(Major Megapower's corpse [whose gory hole in the back is not shown on-screen] starts to dissolve into ashes and then we are treated with a black substance, and forming from it, is Xenozydos.)
Xenozydos: "Correct observation! I am Xenozydos, mastermind of the biggest catastrophe you're witnessing now."
Ground Wrecker: "For what reason are you doing this?"
Xenozydos: "The Overlord watched carefully what you did, demolishing buildings like no other with your earthly powers."
Ground Wrecker: "Major Megapower convinced me to no longer do so and start a new life."
Xenozydos: "For your information, Morani, the day you and your family arrived to this city, they saw you with prejudice."
Ground Wrecker: "The Africans have endured a long period of racism by the white people during years."
Xenozydos: "And for what reason you use your powers?"
Ground Wrecker: "To strike back against the Worker's Syndicate for firing my father!"
Xenozydos: "Sorry to say this, but the entire syndicate, sans that corrupt mayor, is composed of the Ancient Ones' precious children... the Homunculi! In other words, they are the ones who really built Wonder City!"
(Ground Wrecker just got shocked for Xenozydos' words.)
Ground Wrecker: "Now everything has sense for me! I really unleashed their wrath!"
Xenozydos: "And you have no choice than to pick two options: Join me in my personal war game and help the Overlord devour the life source of the entire planet... or die refusing my offer. There's no middle ground."
(Ground Wrecker finally decides to change his mind for good as a hero.)
Ground Wrecker: "I changed my mind! I declare myself against the Ancient Ones... as a superhero!"
Xenozydos: "How dare you to say that!"
(Xenozydos turns the abandoned observatory into an eldritch area filled with all things Lovecraftian, and above them, is the Overlord of the area, complete with a watching eye.)
Xenozydos: "If you want to play the hero, you're not in the good moment to do so!"
Ground Wrecker: "Tell your Overlord that I'm now fighting for a noble cause by stopping your inhuman war!"
Xenozydos: "Your eternal burial is awaiting now, Ground Wrecker!"
(The final battle begins as both assume their fighting stances.)
== Ending: ==
(Ground Wrecker returns to Wonder City as he's preparing for the destruction of the now eldritch buildings.)
Ground Wrecker suddenly changed his heart after realizing the true nature of the city, to the point of restoring the city with benevolent intentions.
Ground Wrecker: "Without Xenozydos in existence, I can finally demolish the true architecture of the city and rebuild a more noble one for the survivors!"
(Then, Ground Wrecker sees a "Wanted" poster with his face on it, and below, the caption "Dead... or dead!", much to his dismay.)
But not everything is good news... the Overlord's homunculi marked Ground Wrecker to the death. He's now a fugitive for the Ancient Ones.
Ground Wrecker: "This is bad... I can't escape from this nightmare!"
(We see how Ground Wrecker is hiding from the Ancient Ones, who are locating him in every part of the street.)
Morani's plan to rebuild Wonder City will have to wait, as he's trapped in an eternal torment of no escape.
Ground Wrecker: "I got one line for you, Overlord: Screw you!"
(The screen fades black after the ending.)
(Ki:Theory's "Enjoy the Silence" starts playing as the credits which background is a blue wall with hexagon patterns with the emblems of the characters showing up at once while the credits are rolling.)
