It has been ten years since Mitsuki appeared in the courtyard of the Crane School. After she appeared there, Master Shen decided to keep her as student, though he never explained his reasons for doing this.
In the past ten years, Mitsuki has grown into a beautiful eighteen year old girl. Mitsuki has light brown skin with a tint of red and pink eyes. Mitsuki also has long pinkish white hair. Two ordangos sit on top of her hair; there are long strands of hair which comes from the ordangos. Mitsuki is wearing a sleeveless, yellow and green china shirt; underneath she is wearing a black pleated mini skirt. On her legs, Mitsuki has thigh length black boots.
On this particular day, Mitsuki is sparring with Tien. She narrowly dodged a round house kick from Tien. Mitsuki grabs Tien's foot and twisted it; Tien then hits Mitsuki with an upper cut. Mitsuki releases Tien's foot and prepares to counter attack, but before she could launch her attack, Master Shen interrupted the sparring match.
"Mitsuki, Tien, I need your attention. Something important has come up." Master Shen said.
Both Mitsuki and Tien got out of their fighting stances and faced Master Shen. Both of them had interested looks on their faces.
"Now listen up, the Twenty-Second World Martial Arts Tournament will be held in four days. I have decided to enter all three of my students in the tournament. Also an "old friend" will be there." Master Shen said.
"Thank you for this wonderful opportunity master." Mitsuki said with a small bow.
Master Shen nodded, told them to pack, and left the courtyard.
"Kissing up to master huh, Suki." Tien said with a smirk.
"I thought that I told you to never call me that Tien!" Mitsuki yelled. A tint of red could be seen on her cheeks.
"I know that you actually like it when I call you Suki." Tien said, he was still smirking.
"I don't have time for this; I need to go pack for the tournament!" Mitsuki yelled, she then stormed to her room.
The students of the Crane School and their master packed their belongings and left for the tournament. When they arrived at the tournament, they had to go to the registration booth. When Mitsuki, Tien, Chaozu, and Master Shen arrived at the registration booth, they could see that there was already a group of people standing around the booth. The group consisted of a floating cat, a pig, a tall man with black hair, a woman with blue hair, a woman with blonde hair, a very short bald boy, a sort boy with wild black hair, and an old man with a turtle shell on his back.
"That's the "friend" I told you about. Let's go say hi." Master Shen said with an evil smile. Then he and his students walked over to the group.
"Well if it isn't the Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi. Entering your students in the Twenty-Second World Martial Arts Tournament?" Master Shen said in a smug voice.
"Crane Hermit, I can't believe that you're still alive. And to answer your question, yes I'm entering my students in the tournament." Master Roshi said with a laugh.
"Well your students don't stand a chance against mine, so you should save yourself the embarrassment and just leave." Master Shen said in a condescending voice.
After Master Shen made that statement, he and Master Roshi got into a squabble. During the squabble, the Turtle Students and Crane students glared at each and sized each other up. Once the squabble ended both sets of students went to the gymnasium where the preliminary round of the tournament would be held. Once they were inside the gym, both sets of students had to draw numbers in order to determine which block they would be fighting in. Mitsuki drew number forty so she would be fighting in the third block. Mitsuki paid close attention to all of the matches because she wanted to see who would be a threat.
"We need to watch those turtle bums; they're stronger than they look." Mitsuki said to Tien and Chaozu.
"You're worrying too much Suki." Tien said with a laugh.
"Don't call me that Tien, it's not funny. And I'm not worrying, I'm just being cautious" Mitsuki said with a blush.
A few minutes later, Mitsuki's number was called. When Mitsuki reached the fighting stage, she could see that her opponent. Mitsuki's opponent was a man who was wearing a white karate outfit. When he saw Mitsuki, he started to laugh.
"My opponents a girl! Well this will be an easy win!" The man shouted while laughing.
Mitsuki glared at him.
When the match started the man charged at Mitsuki. Mitsuki waited until the man was an inch away before she grabbed him by the shoulder and kneed him in the stomach. After Mitsuki kneed him, the man took a few steps back and fell on the fighting stage.
The referee counted to ten; the man didn't stand up.
"Contestant forty…wins by a knock out." The referee said in amazement.
Mitsuki walked off of the fighting stage with a smirk. She walked back over to Tien and Chaozu.
When the preliminary round ended, Mitsuki, Tien, Chaozu, the Turtle students, an old man named Jackie Chun, and Manwolf made it to the actual tournament. The Twenty-Second World Martial Arts Tournament would take place tomorrow. It will be one of the hardest challenges that the Crane students will ever face.
