In the middle of the night, the sounds of someone running can be heard. The runner is an eight year old girl with a bag that she is clutching tightly. The girl is wearing a simple blue dress that has some rips in it. The sounds of an angry mob are coming from behind her. The little girl does not look back at the mob, she continues to run. Because, if the mob reaches her, it will be her death. They will kill her.
"You should just accept your death!" A voice of a man yelled.
"A freak like you does not deserve to live!" A voice of a woman yelled.
"I'm sorry for being different!" The little girl cried as she continues to run.
The girl knows that the mob is catching up to her. All of her hope for escaping them is lost until she sees the light of what she thinks is a house. When she gets closer she can see that it is a dojo. The dojo is made of bricks and stones. The door of the dojo is huge and it is made out of hard wood.
The girl races up the steps of the dojo and bangs on the door. She turns around and sees that the mob is getting closer. They will soon be upon her. The girl bangs harder on the door.
"Please, someone come to the door! There is an angry mob coming, they want to kill me! Please open the door!" The girl cries franticly.
The door finally opens. She runs inside.
Once inside, the girl can see that an old man opened the door. The old man is wearing black sunglass and he has on pajamas. He has hair on the sides of his head, but there is no hair on the top of his head. His face has no emotion.
"Thank you mister you saved my life." The girl says as she starts to cry.
"Stop crying. Tell me your name." The old man said.
"My…..name is Mikka sir." Mikka said.
"Tell me why the mob was chasing you Mikka" The old man said.
Mikka nodded.
"They were chasing me because they found me standing near this seriously injured boy. They thought that I was the one that hurt him, so they decided to kill me. I will admit that I was having a fight with the boy and there was a bright flash of light. When the light was gone, the boy was seriously and the people showed up and formed the mob. I would never hurt anyone." Mikka said. She tries to stop herself from crying.
"Very interesting." The old man said, he has a thoughtful look on his face.
"What happened to your parents?" The old man asked.
"They were killed right in front of me. The mob killed them because my parents would not hand me over to them and because my parents were protecting me when the mob tried to take me." Mikka said as more tears fell from her eyes.
"Your story breaks my heart. From now on Mikka, you will live here and you will begin life as one of my martial arts students. I have a feeling that you could become a great martial artist." The old man said, his face still had a thoughtful look, but if he was not wearing his sunglasses, Mikka would have seen the evil shine that was in his eyes.
"Thank you Sir." Mikka said, a smile is on her face.
'I am finally safe.' Mikka thought.
"It's nothing and by the way, you can call me Master Shen." Master Shen said.
Master Shen gave Mikka some new clothes and gave her a room.
Mikka's room was a cramped bedroom. It could barely even contain the furniture that was inside. The room was painted a dull gray and it had no windows. There was a small table and chair in the left hand corner of the room. There was a twin size bed in the back. There was a dresser on the right hand side if the room. And lastly, the was a full length mirror next to the dresser."
'It could be worse.' Mikka thought as she took in her new surroundings. She then sets her new clothes on the table and bag on the table, she then opens her bag."
Mikka's bag contained four items. The items were a family photo album, a doll, and two beautiful armored fans that her father had given her. The fans had a strange jewel on the handle that was sliver, purple, and gold. The fans themselves were sliver and pale pink.
"These things are the only things that I have left from my old home. But these fans are the only things that I have left from my parent. But I can't help but wonder why they gave them to me." Mikka said as she stared at the unpacked items. She then went to bed.
Once Mikka woke up, she washed up and put on her new clothes. Once she finished getting dressed, Mikka went over to the mirror so that she could see what she looked like in her new clothes.
Mikka was wearing the standard crane school tunic and black pants and black slipper style shoes, the colors of the tunic were green and yellow. She was wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath her tunic. Mikka herself looked better than she did the night before. The dirt that was on her light brown skin was gone, her long black hair was neatly combed and her dark chocolate eyes were no longer blood shot.
Later that day, Mikka was called over to the courtyard. Once she was there, Mikka could see that she was not the only who was called. Master Shen's other two students; Tien and Chaozu were at the courtyard as well. They were both wearing the same uniform as her, but they looked kind of strange. Both of them were bald, but the strangest thing was that Tien had three eyes and Chaozu looked like a mime. Tien was two years older than her.
"Why did you call me here Master Shen?" Make asked as she stared at her fellow students.
"I called you here because I wanted you to meet your fellow students and I want to see your fighting skills, so you're going to spar with Tien." Master Shen said, there was a smirk on his face.
Mikka was shocked; she had never really fought before. But she would try her very best.
Mikka and Tien both took fighting stances and Master Shen and Chaozu stood on the sidelines.
The sparing match took off on a bad start for Mikka. Tien was too fast for her and he kept dodging her kicks and punches.
"I know that you can do better than that Mikka!" Master Shen yelled.
'But I am trying my very best.' Mikka thought. She then tried to kick Tien but he dodged it.
Tien decided that he should go on the offensive so he began to fight back. Mikka was trying her best to dodge but she could not. Tien finished his attack by punching Mikka in the stomach. Mikka fell to her knees.
"I can't believe that you just did that." Mikka said as she struggle to get up. Once she got up, Mikka was growling with anger. There was then a bright flash of light. Once the light was gone, Mikka was standing in a daze and Tien was lying on the ground. He was twitching with pain.
Since Master Shen was wearing sunglasses, he saw what happened. Mikka had turned into a demon. Mikka had the wings, tail, and horns of a demon. During the flash of light Mikka had gave Tien a devastating punch to the head and a devastating kick to the stomach.
Master Shen had been right. There was a power inside Mikka, and he would be the one that would unlock it.
