From a Scorching Soul, to a Rising Dragon

Chapter 1: Burning Soul

Description: The Beginning of Jann Lee's tale of ascension, in this chapter he meets a mysterious man with an unknown identity that uses Jeet Kune Do and battles him.

Author's Notes: Jeet Kune Do is not a fighting style, its a way of life, no fighting style is the best, because its all depends on the inner soul of the person, how they fight, not what they fight with. Become like water, the abilty to adapt, I made this because I realized Jann Lee has fallen (or has always been on) the dark side of Martial Arts, fighting to win, so I thought he goes under a Bruce Lee like training to realize his full potential. Also Jeet Kune Do is a fighting style thats freeform, infact the only freeform fighting style that allows the user to adapt to a differen situation, not just 1 thing for 1 situation. And Jann Lee's 3rd costume in DOA4 isn't based on Kill Bill you f'in n00bs, its based on what Bruce Lee wore in his last movie, The Game Of Death. Many of you people reading this probably has no idea of what the yellow track suit represents but for those of you ignorant ones I shall tell you what it means, due to my Quick Lesson's on Bruce Lee sections.

Disclaimer: I did not create Jann Lee, nor did I create the quotes used by the mysterious man, all of those belong to their respective owners.

"NO WAY IS MY WAY NO LIMITATION IS MY LIMITATION"

A arena somewhere in Hong Kong, January 18, 2016

"Waatah!", Jann Lee knocked his opponent out cold

"Winner! Jann Lee!", announced the referee

Jann Lee shouted to the crowd, "Isn't there anyone strong enough to challenge me?"

"I shall", a man walked onto the arena, wearing a brown leather jacket, tinted aviator sunglasses, dark blue jeans, and had a light beard and moustache

"Ok then whats your style?"

"I guess you could say its the Art Of Fighting, without the Fighting"

"What?"

"You'll see"

"Show me"

"Later"

"But your going to fight me"

"I can't show you what I truly mean just by a fight"

"Bullshit, fighting is all there is to hand to hand combat"

"Ignorance"

Jann Lee charged at the man and readied one of his back hand punches like he always does but suddenly, "Waatah!" The man executed a kick blow to Jann Lee's gut, similiar to one of Jann's kicks but with more perfectionism. Jann Lee flew back 8 feet and landed on the ground with a shoe print on his Black Chinese Jacket (DOA2 main costume),

Jann Lee's friends and sparring partners helped him on his feet,"Jann are you ok?"

"Ugh...it felt like I got hit by a truck...get off me!" Jann pushed away his friends and charged at the man again, this time with a jumping kick, the man ducked and hit Jann Lee in his ribs with the back of his elbows. "Gahh!", Jann fell to the ground, he though to himself,'that style!', he got up, "You know Jeet Kune Do!"

"And if I do?"

"Shut up! where did you learn the greatest style existing?", continued Jann

"Thats where your wrong"

"what?"

"Later.."

"Tell me now!"

"You are not ready"

"I'll show you I'm ready!", Jann went for a slide kick but the man was easily prepared for the attack, he side steeped but with his other foot Jann locked down the man to the floor. Jann got up and signaled the man to get come and get him (DOA4 Taunt 2), "How do you like that?", the man socked Jann in the face and side stepped to his left

"How do YOU like that?"

Jann Lee made a right hook to the man's face but he ducked in a flash

"Uh-uh", the man waved his finger in disapproval ,"You must have the ability to adapt, crashing rhythm can't compete with.." the man claps his hands twice "broken rhythm"

"what the hell does that mean?" Jann readied a powerful uppercut but before he can even execute the punch..."Wachaa!" a kick was delivered to Jann's face and Jann was out cold, the man left the building as mysteriously as he came.

Quick Lesson on Bruce Lee: In the crappy version of The Game Of Death, they took all the outakes (100 minutes) and used only 11 minutes in their movie which has a completly different storyline and characters then what Bruce originally had in mind. In the crappy version an actor called Billy Lo is shot in the face, fakes his death, gets plastic surgery, and gets his revenge. In Lee's version, he would play a undefeated retired Actory named Hai Tien who is offered to make a raid on a 5 story pagoda by the Korean Mafia. At first he refuses but the mafia kidnaps his sister and younger brother so he accepts. He is introduced too 4 accomplices, one with an antagonistic unfollowing nature, played by James Tien (worked with Lee on Way of The Dragon and Fist of Fury) , the other a strong but simple minded martial artist played by Hong Kong stuntman, Che Yuen, the other 2 were undecided. Each floor of the pagoda was too have a different martial arts master. Whong In Sik was the master of a kicking style on the first floor and appeared as one of Lee's opponents in The Way of The Dragon (not Enter The Dragon, WoTD is the one where Bruce fights Chuck Norris). Lee's highest ranking student at his Gung Fu schools, Taki Kimura, was to be the guardian of the 2nd floor, he was to use Praying Mantis and Wing Chun Gung Fu styles. Dan Inosanto (Lee's most adept student in the art of Jeet Kune Do) is the guardian of the 3rd floor, he uses Filipino Eskreema and Ken Po Karate, in this fight Inosanto uses 2 sticks against Lee's bamboo branch and then after that, there is the first ever nunchaku battle ever captured on film. On the 4th floor is Korean Hapkido Grand Master Ji Han Jae. And on the final floor is Kareem Abdul Jabaar, one of Lee's top students, He uses no fighting style. The original footage and story was deemed lost forever but in 1994 the original script and fight scene coreagraphy is found and in 2000 the original footage is found, although it only covers the fightscenes from the 3rd to final floor and Lee's way down to the bottom. In the movie Lee wears a Yellow Track suit, which has no affliation with any style. What Bruce was trying to portray is that you don't need to wear traditional clothing to be an effective fighter.
