Discalimer: I don't own Dead or Alive.
The crowd was stunned to see the self proclaimed Immortal Dragon known as Jann Lee finally defeated at the hands of his teenage rival, Lei Fang. Upon being declared the official winner of the Dead or Alive Tournament, the nineteen-year-old College student, being the good sport that she often was, tried to help her downed opponent up to his feet. But he rejected any means of assistance from her, and left the arena in an angry rage. The roaring crowd booed and tossed objects at the beaten fighter as he headed back to the locker room area with his head tucked down low in shame for suffering his first ever loss. To her surprise, Lei Fang felt a bit of sympathy for Jann as she watched him leave with the crowd hissing behind his broad shoulders, labeling him as a pathetic fighter.
His reputation as the Immortal Dragon was now at an end thanks to her. No longer was he seen as the superior fighter that won every match he competed in. Lei Fang then went on to celebrate with friends and family over her victorious victory. Many female participants from the Tournament attended the celebration to congratulate Lei Fang.
"That was quite a victory," said Hitomi, sitting down on the couch beside her.
"Yes, quite a victory indeed. I knew you'd pull it off," Kasumi added in.
Lei Fang blushed from all the kind words she was given by her friends and rivals. This moment was so special to her she didn't really know what to say.
"Gosh, guys. This is very surprising to me as well. To be honest, I kind of doubted myself at first, but then later on I started to believe in myself that I could beat him."
"Well you did very well and managed to hold your own," stated Hitomi.
"Thanks, I appreciate that," Lei Fang said while blushing.
A few days later, Lei Fang and Hitomi were seated together at their favorite fast food restaurant, sipping away on a couple strawberry milkshakes,while still going on about what happened at the Tournament. Lei Fang was eagerly asked by Hitomi if she would join the next upcoming Dead or Alive Tournament to fight again. The Chinese girl's response was a quiet no. After defeating Jann Lee, she felt there was no need to enter the Tournament again since there was no one she was looking forward to fighting against. In actual fact, Hitomi didn't truly understand her friend's reason for wanting to abandon the next Tournament. This seemed strangely odd, for Lei Fang usually looked forward to such excitement and fun.
"Lei Fang, sometimes I just don't get you," Hitomi said sipping down the last remains of her milkshake.
"I don't think anybody does," Lei Fang timidly giggled.
"Is there anyway of convincing you to enter? I mean, think about it for a second. Without you, I don't know what would become of me. I don't think I'd have that much of a challenge from the others."
"I'll think about it. Just give me some time," Lei Fang strongly advised.
Jann Lee was sitting in a pot of his own misery with anger and hatred filling his mind. He sat alone, outside in an abandoned neighborhood in the coming of night. Still sulking over his defeat, all he could think about was Lei Fang. He was practically obsessed with her and unable to get her out of his head. Nothing hurt him more than being publicly humiliated the way he was the other day.
To accept defeat was a hard thing for the young man to learn or do. Winning was the only easy thing to receive willingly. Shortly after his sulking was over, an old man donning a black coat stepped over to his side.
"You shouldn't be sitting here soaking in defeat. You should get back to training and fight again."
"What do you know, old man?" Snorted Jann, rudely.
"I know I can help you regain what you have lost. I can help you defeat Lei Fang in the next Tournament, that is if you're willing to enter."
"Get lost you senile old fool!" Jann groaned.
"I see her victory over you as angered you greatly, that's good. Because what I can offer, you're going to need anger."
"I don't need your help! Just leave me alone."
"Ok, I will. But you think about it. I'll be here tomorrow, same place and same time. It's your choice. I believe you'll do the right thing."
Jann Lee watched as the old man disappeared into the alleyway, fading into the shading darkness. He accepted help from no one to help him defeat his enemies and he figured why should he start now. An hour later he sat up from the curb and decided to go home.
