CH.1

It was a warm saturday afternoon in San Diego California, but at a local civic center for sporting events, things were really boiling at this year's free-for-all karate seats were packed and the crowd's cheers and roars echoed through the dome-shaped cieling. The newest karate champion was about to score another big-win title as he prepared himself for the next match.

The fighter was dressed in a purple violet karate gi with black trim, his long/short sleeves were fixed with red stitches, a red orange tank top shirt lay hidden beneath it. His fists were encased in protective bandage wrappings from his hands to wrists. His hair was a medium length mane of bright orange hair with two curved sidebuns on both sides of his handsome face.

The fighter was a well-known champion who gained fame in his home town by wining karate challenges and tournaments. His name was Allem Snider,and he was the best that San Diego, California had to offer. His trainer who was dressed in a black gi and blonde spiky hair finished encasing his hands in protective bandage wrappings, from his hands to wrists.

The trainer's name was Steve Bolt,(Better known as the former karate champion 'THUNDERBOLT!'
"This is it Allen," said Steve.
"You've been training for this the whole month, this is the tournament for the grand title, if you win,you'll be the greatest in all of North America, ya got me?"
"Sure do sensei!" said Allen confidently.
"I've got the SoulForce fireball you taught me down pat."
"That's right," said Steve.

"And that's the move you're going to use to win this tourney."
"No sweat coach!" said Allen.
"But there is one move I've been itching to use to use."
"What your Justice Fist move?" asked Steve.
"That's the one." Said Allen, clenching his fist.
"Not a chance and no way!" said Steve.
"But sensei…!" whined Allen.
"Don't 'but sensei' me,Allen!" said Steve.

"That move of yours may be pretty powerful to smash bricks, but it can't always help with fight matches, so you use the moves I taught ya, especially the fireball, got me?"
"Right…." Said Allen reluctantly.

The match referee walked over to Allen and Steve.
"The match is about to start , he said. Be ready."
"Okay,here we go!" said Allen.
"Your friends and family here as well,Allen." Said Steve.
"Win it for them as well."
"You bet I will!" said Allen.
"Hey,is my girl Lina here as well?" "I saw her with your family," said steve.
She'll be rootin' for you as well,girlfriends always root for their main squeezes!"

"Don't I know it." Smiled Allen as he looked up towards the bleechers. Sure enough, his family was and friends were up there, cheering him on in the distance, there was Daniel Snider his father, Brenda Snider, his mother, and Nicholas Snider, his little brother. Next to them was Lina Wiu, his beautiful girlfriend.

"This is the big moment for our boy!" said Daniel.
"I'll say,said brenda. He's been training and fighting for months,I hope he'll be all right."
"He's made of steel hon'." Said Daniel.
"We raised him to be strong,in more ways than one, he's bound to survive."
"Yeah,he's sure to win mom!" said Nicholas.
"My bro can whip any tough guy! He's got
the strongest fists around!"
"Allen may be strong in body," said Lena. "but he must also be strong in spirit as well and learn not to get overconfident." (Allen's gorlfriend Lena can be quite a philosopher at times.)

"That's true," said Brenda. And Allen has been pretty cocky whenever he wins a victory."
"I guess he just feels good when it comes to victory,like we all do."

Allen stepped up to the mat,preparing himself. Next,a tall bearded man who was the announcer presented himself to the crowd. His voice blared off as he spoke into the mike.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,WELCOME TO THE FINAL MATCH FOR THE GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP,THIS WILL BE THE FINAL BOUT FOR THE GRAND TITLE OF U.S MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPION! IN THE LEFT CORNER IN THE PURPLE GI, THE SAN DIEGO CHAMPION, AAALEN SNIIIIDERRR!"

The crowd cheered and roared at Allen, who was waving to the crowd.
"Aaahhhh.." he replied.
"Music to my ears."
"Don't let it go your head kid." Said Steve.
"Yeah,yeah." Said Allen annoyed. The announcer contineud with his announcement.

"AND THE CHALLENGER…" The double doors on the left side of the large room opened,and out stepped another karate figfhter. This fighter was unlike anything Allen had ever seen. He wore a red gi, a pair of bright yellow fighters gloves, and his yellow blonde hair fell at his shoulders.

"Whoa!" said Allen.
"Who's this?"
"I think we're about to find out.
."AND IN THIS CORNER…" The announcer said.
"COMING IN FROM SEATTLE,WASHINGTON, THE ALL-AMERICAN MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT CHAMPION, WINNER OF 11 STRAIGHT VICTORIES…KEENN MAAASTERRRS!"

The crowd went even went wilder at seing Ken as he did a Dragon Punch uppercut high into the air whilst shouting "SHO-RYU-KEN!" The crowd loved it.
"Hunh! Replied Allen.
"Looks like the crowd loves him just as much."
"Fame goes far and wide Allen believe me." The Sniders didn't like the looks of this.

"Looks like Allen's got some competition." Said Daniel.
"Who's this Ken Masters?" said Brenda.
"Aw,he's just hotshot blowhard who thinks he's the greatest fighter on earth!" said Nicholas.
"Allen may be good," said Lena.
"But he may be in for the fight of his life."
"Let's just hope he wins it." Said Daniel.
"Go get 'em Allen!" said Steve.
"Remember what I taught ya!"
"Sure thing,Steve!" said Allen.
"Here I go!"

The two warriors approached each other, fists clenched, fighting spirits blazing,ready for the fight. The referee approached them.
"Alright boys," he said.
"You know the rules, no leg breaking or serious injuries, no hitting below the belt, keep it nice and clean. The referee took an orange flag and raised it, as soon as he waved and said "Begin!" The match had started.

Allen and Ken bowed to each other and began the fight, Allen began the first move as he threw a swift punch, Ken blocked it, then he thrusted a kick, Ken blocked it also, and finally his roundhouse smash kick, but Ken blocked it as well.

"On the defense eh?" thought Allen.
"Well we'll just see about that."

It was Ken's turn to make a move, he threw his own punches and kicks at Allen, but Allen did just the same as Ken by blocking them.

"Looks like they're evenly matched." Said Brenda.
"One of them has gotta break sometime." Said Daniel.
"Suddenly,Ken did a super-spin kick at Allen, but just before he connect him with his foot, Allen cupped his hands at his handsat his right side,and no sooner could Ken react, he released a powerful fireball of energy from his very fingertips.

"SOUL FORCE!" he shouted. The fireball collided with Ken as he was knocked backwards to the mat.
"Ooooff!" he replied.
"First point goes to Allen!" said the referee. The crowd cheered.
"Alright Allen!" shouted his father.
"Yeeah!" said Steve. "Just like I taught ya!"

Ken hopped back to his feet.
"Whoa!" thought Ken. "Not bad,but he just got lucky."

Allen charged at Ken, jabbing him a couple times in the abdomen, but this time Ken was more than ready, as he released his own fireball the same way Allen did.

"HADOKEN!" he shouted,as his fireball knocked Allen to the floor.
"Allen!" shouted Lina.
"I don't believe it !" said Steve.
"He's got a fireball move too! This does'nt look good!"

Allen jumped back to his feet,and he was pretty steamed.
"All right!" he thought.
"Now I'm gonna really get rough!" Ken threw another fireball at Allen.,but just before the projectile could hit it's target, Allen thrusted his left fist forward, literally shattering the fireball in an explosion of sparks!

"What?" replied Ken. "How'd he do that?"
"All right!" said Nicholas.
"That's the way bro'!"
"Now I'm gonna do the same to you,blondie!" said Allen, as he thrust forward with his justice fist move again, but before he could connect, Ken grabbed his arm and threw right over his shoulder!
"Oooff!" replied Allen as he hit the mat.

"Ouch!" said Daniel.
"That's gotta hurt!"
"First point goes to Ken!" said the referee.
"Now they're really matched!" said Brenda. Allen rose to his feet again,breathing heavily.
"You through kid?" asked Ken.
"Im…just getting ..warmed up!"
"That's what they all say," said Ken. "but if you want more ,I'll give ya more!"

The match continued as the karate kicking warriors traded punches and kicks with each other. Ken gained a second point after kicking Allen to the side, and Allen gained another point by bodyslamming Ken. Now they were still evenly matched, either one just needed one more point to win the match and the championship.

"I've gotta use my justice fist again," thought Allen. "Only this time I'll use it when he's completely unaware." "C'mon Allen," thought Steve. Use the Soul Force move again,you'll win for certain!"
"C'mon pal!" said Ken.
"I'll give ya one good shot right here and now,show me what you really got!"
"You betcha I will!" said Allen.

And without another word,he charged at Ken again using his Justice Fist move again.
"No Allen,don't!" shouted Steve. But it was too late,just before Allen could make contact ,Ken struck a super –charged Dragon Punch uppercut right into Allen's jaw!
"KA-POW!" Allen went sailing to the floor just he was knocked off his feet by the sudden blow,and he fell flat on his back!
"Noooo!" shouted Allen's family and Lena.

"Allen!" shouted Steve. The young fighter laid quite still on the mat, he was alive but every ounce of energy he had was gone. His fight with Ken had taken it's toll on him. His mind kept shouting "Get up! You're not finished yet,you can still win,get up!" But his body refused to respond,it was over, for Allen Snider anyway.

"Third point goes to Ken," said the referee.
"Ken is the winner!" The crowd cheered loudly as Ken did his famed 'V for victory ' sign with his fingers. Allen slowly and painfully rose to his feet as the referee and announccer along with photographers, autgraph hounds, gorgeous chicks and other admirers surrounded Ken who was once again the champ once again. The announcer spoke once again.

"STILL THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPION …KEENNN MAAASTERRRS! KEN IS THE WINNER! On behalf of San Diego, we would like to present you with this trophy for the US martial arts champion." Ken had taken the trophy and raised it high.

"Is there anyhting you would like to say on your behalf,?" Ken took the microphone and said:
"Yes,I'd like to thank all my fans for their wonderful support and—" Whist Ken continued his sales pitch, Allen looked back at his family,they were just as saddened as he was,even Lina felt truly sorry for him.

Allen looked back at his trainer. Steve just looked with disgust and disappointment at Allen, he had really let his trainer down. Without a word,he just dropped his towel and left. Allen however,just looked back at Ken, then without another thought, he picked up the towel that Steve had dropped, flung it over his shoulders, and like a whipped bear retiring to it's cave, Allen turned in to the locker room to rest.
