HwoarangXAsuka

Combined Efforts

(It was a rainy and depressing day in Osaka. The young high-school girl, Asuka Kazama, trains at the moment in her own dojo… she still trains hard enough to finally get her revenge on Feng Wei, the man who destroyed her dojo before and beat her father into a bloody pulp… and he is still not out oft he hospital… she trains desperately to be prepared for him, but all this… has a negative effect on her. She lost her cheery altitude and she doesn't even want to ride her bike anymore, the hobby she loved so much… all she cared about was revenge… but today, she shall learn a lesson from someone she knows for a long time… we shall see.)

(Asuka wears her usual white and black Training-Clothes and trains, by using a wooden, chinese Training-Statue as box-sack. On the statue's face sticked a picture of Feng, then man she hates with a burning passion, and who was responsible for almost ruining her life completely. After many hours of enraged attacking on the statue, she gave up in attacking the statue and goes on her knees, pressing her face against the floor, starting to weep… she still doesn't feel ready. And the thought of losing against the evil Kenpo-Master, made her almost go insane… to the point of breaking down. But then… someone enters the dojo. A young korean guy, with auburn hair, clothed in typical Taek-Kwan-Do training clothing and brown eyes… he looked with a blink of concern and sorrow. It hurts inside his heart to see his best friend suffering under depression and the massive pressure she puts on herself. Hwoarang leans in a chilled way against the door and starts to speak.)

Hwoarang: „Asuka? Is everythin' cool?"

(When Asuka hears the voice of Hwoarang, her expression changes from sad to bitter anger. She stands up and turns slowly around, with an angry look in her eyes, which look pretty bloodshot from all the crying. She mutters in a shaky voice, as she tries to remain calm.)

Asuka: „…Get out."

Hwoarang: „Huh? What did ya say?"

Asuka: „I said… Get out of my dojo!"

(Then Hwoarang begins to smirk.)

Hwoarang: „Whoa, whoa… getting pissed off, ey? Listen, I didn't come here for trouble… but I do am starting to worry about ya, ya know…"

Asuka: „Is this of your concern? No! So get out! I want no one here, we're closed!"

Hwoarang: „I won't go until you tell me, what is wrong with you!"

(Then tears of anger run down her cheeks, while she began now to shriek.)

Asuka: „I SAID… GET OUT OF HERE!"

Hwoarang: „Make me if you have the nuts for it!"

(Asuka begins to growl out of frustration, but… then becomes suddenly calm, wipes her tears from her eyes and begins to crack her fists.)

Asuka: „Fine… then so be it… you'll be my perfect Training-Dummy. Don't tell me later, that I haven't warned you about me maybe breaking your bones."

(Hwoarang looks surprised, but as cool as he is, he begins to smirk.)

Hwoarang: „Heh, cool then… If ya want it, you get it! I've been looking for training with you for quite a while anyway!"

Asuka: „When I want to be honest…"

(She warms herself up, by stretching her arms and legs and then makes her fighting stance, while having a smirk on her face.)

Asuka: „…me too. If not, more than you."

(Hwoarang smirks back and gets in his position.)

Asuka runs to Hwoarang, screaming enraged, and attempts to punch Hwoarang. But he simply counters the hard punch with a strong kick. Both then begin to struggle with kicks and punches. After the 15th hit, Hwoarang jumps back and kicks Asuka in the belly, making her tumble backwards. But she quickly finds her strength again, and then does her famous move, the „Leg Cutter". She bends forward in a crouching position, and then kicks the korean biker three times with roundhouse kicks, to sweep him off his feet. The attack hurt the korean guy badly, and Asuka ends her combo with a hard kick upwards under the chin of her friend. He tumbles backwards, but as tough as he is, he quickly finds control of his body again and jumps towards Asuka. He makes many fast kicks, and makes them even faster after every hit, until it becomes impossible for Asuka to counter or block them, and so she is forced to retreat, by jumping backwards with a handstand. She growls frustrated and Hwoarang feels, that the more Asuka becomes angry, the more powerful she becomes. He goes in the defending mode. Both keep fighting very hard, and with each time for Asuka missing Hwoarang, she became more and more… stronger and faster. Rage… frustration… failure… and the feeling of weakness welled even more up, to the point where Asuka's face turned red from all the sweating and anger build up to this moment… now is Hwoarang in trouble. He has never seen his best friend so far like this and became worried… but he didn't have the time to do so… he fights back as best as he can, but the fact, that Asuka has become faster and more fierce in her ambushes, really gave him troubles… some hits of Asuka's attack really damage him big time and it ends all with him, getting kicked in the gut by the japanese school-girl, then landing on the floor backwards with his back first and spitting blood. Asuka then jumps on the floor, lands on Hwoarang's crotch and pulls him brutally up by the jacket of his training suit. She looks really angrily in his eyes.

(She pulls him near her angry face, until each others eyes meet one another and she pants out of exhaustion.)

Asuka: „You… Enough playing around… I am really… sick of your annoying kicks!"

(But after she raises her left arm for a final attack with her fist, she suddenly stops, as she sees Hwoarang smiling all of a sudden.)

Hwoarang: „Wow… I thought I would have an easier game today, but… YOU are harder to beat than I thought… you did well…"

(Asuka's eyes widen in surprise.)
