Hi, Bobo Masato here.  I want to thank Rouge-Doll and Cover girl for letting me join their G.I.Joe group.  Their group is awesome.  Also, they are both really good writers.  Read their stories if you haven't did so yet.

I'm just worry you won't like my story after you read theirs, cause theirs are so much better O__O ;;

Oh, also, special thanks to Jet Li.  I posted a story (Drunken Master) here before but then I chickened out and erased it.  I thought no one care.  Li-san actually remembered me.  He encouraged me to post my stories.

I won't be posting this if it weren't for you!  Thanks Li-san.

but, I digress, onto the story.

The Greatest Kick-Boxer ch.1

A lot of audiences gather inside the Sky Dome Stadium to watch the Internal Martial Art Competition.  The best martial artists around the world are all here to fight for the title.  Finally the competition reaches the final stage.  Everyone watch in excitement to see who will win.  Will it be the 5 time returning champion Terry Johnson?  Or will it be the beautiful newcomer Shana O'hara?

Televisions all over the world broadcast the event.  Terry smirks proudly and asks Scarlet, "are you ready?"  Scarlet looks at him with confident in her eyes and replies, "It is just like what we do in the training hall, right?"  Terry nods and says, "I will go easy on you, my love."  Scarlet bows and says, "may the best person wins."  They get into their stand and then run toward each other.

Their moves are flawless.  Even other martial artists are amazed and gather around the mat to see their moves.  Both have quick reflexes and powerful attack.  The spectators soon see that Scarlet is a better martial artists.  Terry notices that, too.  He keeps attacking Scarlet and releases everything he has on his girlfriend.  Scarlet blocks and dodges everything he sent to her way.

Terry loses his calm and attacks Scarlet disorderly.  She spots his weakness easily and throws him out of the mat.  Terry lands on the floor and the audience cheers.  Scarlet runs to help him up and smiles to him.  Terry is ashamed to lose in front of the audiences and international TV.  He turns his back on Scarlet and walks down the stage.  The referee holds Scarlet's hand up and declares, "Ladies and gentlemen, the new champion, Shana O'Hara!"

Her brothers walk up the stage and, one by one, they give their little sister big bear hugs.  Her oldest brother says, "this is going to bring so many business to the dojo!"  She smiles and looks around for Terry, but her boyfriend is nowhere in sight.  Her father smiles to her, "Congratulation, little one.  How about I treat you all to dinner?"  Scarlet shakes her head, "No, I will treat.  I can't let you paid for our dinner."

Her brothers say, "No way, we will not let either of you get the bill.  We are buying tonight.  Let's have Chinese.  You go and ask Terry to come with us, okay?  We will have some TsingTao!"  Scarlet walks to the parking lot and tears come out of her eyes.  She whispers lightly. "I am sorry. Terry."  Then she whips away her tears and returns to her family.  She smiles to her brother and says, "Terry left.  It's okay.  He hated Chinese anyway."

Scarlet calls Terry soon as she return home after dinner.  Terry isn't home, or maybe he is home but doesn't want to answer her call.  Scarlet looks up the sky and asks, "Mom, what am I suppose to do?"  She calls Terry fruitlessly for a week.  Then she decides to go and visit Terri.  She knocks on the door and Terri opens it.  He only has his boxers on.  There is a girl sitting in his living room.

Terri says, "Shana.  I just don't think thing is working out between us.  We are over."  Scarlet nods and smiles, "I understand."  She gets on her car, smiles and waves to Terri before driving off. In the middle of the way home Scarlet starts crying crazily.  She then cleans her face, get back into her house and voices, "I am starve! Is dinner ready?"

One month later, Scarlet's father walks past her room and sees her writing at her desk.  He goes in, looks at what she is writing and asks, "princess, why are you applying for Air-Force?  I thought you are going to ROTC with Terri."  Scarlet smiles and answers, "I feel like flying instead."  Her father pulls a chair and sits next to her.  He smiles, "he was mad at you for winning him at the competition, right?"

Scarlet nods.   Patrick O'Hara cuddles Scarlet and says, "and you are blaming yourself, are you?  You are thinking, if you would have let him win, then he will still be with you. Right?"  Scarlet nods again.  Patrick shakes him head and says, "You are wrong, princess.  If he leaves you because of that it only means that he is not good enough for you.  You deserve so much more than that."

A week later, Duke walks down the stairs of the Pentagon and collides with a girl.  Papers fly everywhere.  Duke helps the girl picks up the paper and sees Scarlet's application.  "Shana O'Hara.  Isn't she the girl who win the international martial art competition last month?"  The girl says, "I wouldn't know.  Why, are you interested?"

Duke nods, "Can I have her?"
