Me:Welcome back everyone!
Conan:Yay, I'm in Tokyo now. *yawn*
Me:Can't you just hear the enthusiasm?
Rin:Angela does not own Chaos Wars, Case Closed, or Sonic.
Tails:Rin and I have no affiliation with this story
Rin:And we suck at karate!
Conan:You sure do! But I have no room to talk, Rachel would destroy all four of us if she wanted too!
Tails:You sure don't have room to talk. But you rock at soccer and mysteries!
Conan:You bet! Who's up for a riddle?
Rin and Tails:Hai! Us!
Me:Why not?
Conan:Two men at a cafe ordered the exact same drink, same everything. One drinks quickly and lives, the other drinks slowly and dies. Why?
Rin and Tails:Hmm...
Me:While we think, here's the chapter!
Karate Kidnappings
Ch 2: Proven Skill
They eventually arrived at the Tokyo Karate Center, a huge plot of land with many buildings, most of them tall, like hotels. Serena decided she would go shopping for awhile and promised to come back later.
"Wow," gasped Rachel, as she got out of the limo
"Cool," murmured Conan
"Stay close. There's 128 competitors here and probably a couple of officiators. I don't need you getting lost," Rachel explained.
"Okay," Conan responded.
"Well look here, it's the famous Rachel Moore," came a female voice.
"Oh no, I'm not famous. My father is," Rachel responded humbly.
Conan turned to find the speaker, a woman with shot orange hair and green eyes. She looked mean and she scowled down at Conan.
"Who's this brat?" she asked irritably.
Rachel kneeled down and protectively pulled Conan close.
"This is Conan, I'm taking care of him for a very special friend of mine. He is not a brat!" Rachel's voice rose "Who are you anyway?"
"My name is Marissa McClure. I hate little kids greatly."
The woman turned her nose and walked away.
I'd take great pleasure in breaking her face with a soccer ball! Conan exclaimed in his mind.
Rachel stood back up, just as another man addressed her;
"Who the hell are you and who's the brat?"
Darnit, I'm not a brat! I'm 17 freaking years old! Conan mentally cried.
"I'm Rachel Moore and this is Conan. He is not a brat!" Rachel roared.
Conan sweatdropped and looked at the Asian man with a brown buzz cut and brown eyes. He looked very scary and strong, with spiked all around some of his clothing and accessories. However, Conan didn't doubt that Rachel could beat him.
Conan was about to find out...
The man, Yin Chide, picked up Conan.
"Hah! I could squash this pipsqueak!"
"I wouldn't say that-!" began an Asian woman
Conan squirmed in Yin's tight grip, "Let me go!"
Yin didn't get a chance to let go, Rachel delivered a kick right to Yin's side, causing Conan to get dropped harshly.
"Must I kick you in the face?" asked Rachel, while two women cheered her.
"Bring it girlie!"
Conan laughed inwardly. Even if she was wearing a long skirt, only a moron would challenge Rachel like that, even if she brought it up. Yin didn't have a chance, Rachel punched him several times in the gut and then delivered her special kick to Yin's face. She took his arm and flipped him, slamming Yin on the ground. She walked over him to pick Conan up.
"Your first mistake was picking Conan up and threatening him. The second mistake is very clear," Rachel stated
Marissa and another male student scowled angrily, another guy was shocked, the Asian woman was smiling, and another woman was clapping. Other contestants were simply watching or mingling. The 128 contestants were called to order in the front garden. Shockingly, Yin Chide was conscious, but with a vengeance. The first week would be for training and preparation, then the second week would be the tournament.
A tour was given to the group. There was a female hotel, a male hotel, an infirmary, the cafeteria, an indoor practice site, an outdoor practice garden, a bath building, and a relaxation building.
"This place is amazing," Conan gasped.
"Isn't it? I love it," responded Rachel
Their tour guides were also their senseis. The woman, Sensei Mia Kaia, was a tall woman with long blond, pink highlighted hair and blue eyes. The man, Sensei Toro Meikal, was a medium height, muscular person with short, puffy, brown hair and gray eyes. Both were very shocked at how Rachel had taken Yin Chide down, all for the sake of a child. She definitely a major competitor, everyone knew it.
"It was so amazing," gaped a boy named Joey Saren, who had shoulder length brown hair and green eyes.
"Shut up Joey! I could so take her!" hissed Marissa
"You could not," stated the Asian woman, Lina-Mina, who had really, really long black hair and almond brown eyes.
"I don't really care, I could snap her in half," muttered Samuel Mason, a mean jerk with spiky, light brown hair and brown eyes.
"I know I can not beat her. Aside from Lina-Mina, why must you all be sore losers?" sighed Mary-Lynn Marney, an 18 year old with midlength dark blond hair and deep blue eyes
Conan felt severe aggravation against Samuel and Marissa. He knew Rachel could defeat them both too.
Some of these people are so ridiculous that it isn't even fair, Conan thought.
They all arrived at the practice garden, a clear field with flowers surrounding a large mat covered area.
"All week, we will be doing practice exhibition matches here. Who would like to go first?" asked Sensei Mia Kaia
Sensei Mia Kaia was the head Sensei, Sensei Toro was her assistant.
"I'll go!" called Rachel
"So will I!" cried Marissa quickly.
"This is going to be very interesting to watch," murmured Conan.
Lina-Mina was standing near Conan while Rachel headed up to the platform.
"So, is she like your neechan?"
"Sort of. She's taking care of me for my distant cousin," answered Conan.
"Hai, I see. Well she is amazing at karate," continued Lina.
Rachel was winning and delivered her kick to Marissa's arm, not willing to take it to the face of Marissa at first.
"Go ahead, try for my face!" snarled Marissa, as she dealt a weak blow to Rachel's forearm.
Hey, she asked for it, Conan thought.
Unable to block, Marissa took Rachel's kick to the face and quickly lost the match to Rachel.
"What? How could I lose? To you of all people!" screeched Marissa
"Very easily," murmured Conan
"I would like to take you on!" called Samuel.
"Sure, why not?" asked Rachel.
After successfully taking Samuel down, who also could not block Rachel's signature kick, Sensei Mia had a test to see who could block it. As it turned out, only Joey Saren and Lina-Mina could block it. Even so, Rachel still won against them.
Rachel had indeed proven her skills. Which was not very good in the eyes of one particular sore loser.
Conan had no idea how important Rachel's kick would become.
Conan:Haiiiiiii! Rachel kicked butt! That's what you get for calling me brat! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Rin:Oh, I got it!
Tails:Yeah! The ice was tainted!
Rin and I:That's what we think. Are we all right?
Conan:Hai, the ice was poisoned. I should start giving riddles for each chapter. See you guys next time!
