Second chapter's here...and this is where Musaki comes in.

Chapter 2: Challenge

Back at home...

Mischa walked downstairs and saw her husband sitting there on the porch and she immediately knew that something was wrong and she asked, "Worried about Nuka?"

"He snuck out again, didn't he?" asked Rasta.

Mischa sat down next to him and Rasta immediately knew the answer to that one and he lets out a big sigh and said, "I don't know why my son has changed into something I never wanted him to become."

"Has he always been like this?" asked Mischa.

Rasta looks at him and said, "No. He wasn't always like this. He used to be kind, sweet, funny and caring and now...I don't know what happened to that little cub I saw."

"Well, maybe he's going through a phase."

Rasta scoffs at that and said, "Oh, sure. His phase is going around drinking, smoking, engaging in streetfights and completely arguing with me all the time. I just want to know what's going on with my son, but all he does is shut me out completely."

Mischa could see why he's worried about his son and she shares the same concern for him and Rasta asked himself, "Where did I go wrong?"

At the streets

Nuka took down punched out three diferent wolves from another part of China and as they fought back, Nuka refuses to back down and slammed them with all of his might as he throws them in a brick wall and kicked them directly where it hurts.

Everyone in the crowd cheered out loud after the entire battle and Nuka pumped his fists up in the air, high-fiving everyone in the crowd, including his streetfighting buds.

"Beer's on me, guys!" the leader exclaimed.

The one-eyed streetfighting pig gave Nuka a couple of coins as well as for everyone else in the crowd for that impressive fight and they went back inside the house, drinking some booze. Nuka chugged down mounds of insane sake and he got super loaded, that he just took off his pants and ran around parts of the house half naked and pumped his fists yelling, "Victory!"

"Nuka, you're definitely the life of the party!" one wolf exclaimed, laughing.

Nuka began dancing as hard as he could, shaking his butt all around the place making all of the other gang members cheer loudly and one of the leader shouted, "Shake it, man!"

Suddenly, he stops dancing and he saw someone in the window and said, "Hey...what's that guy doing there?"

The leader looks over and sees that there's a panda peeking in, in which he immediately left the premises and he tells Nuka, "Go see what he's up to."

Nuka immediately ran out of the house to catch his attention and he shouted, "Hey! You came here to fight?"

The blue-eyed skinny panda looks at Nuka and he quickly replied, "No. I just came to see what the noise was all about."

One of the members came out of there with booze on his hand and he asked, "Hey...wanna drink?"

"No. I don't drink."

"Man, who the hell are you?" the leader asked, growling.

"I'm Xing-Fu Musaki Ko-Kanji Bushido-Akio Meng Cheng Xi-Wang."

All of the gang members were puzzled and confused by the length of his name and Nuka said, "Zing-U-Boosaki-Ko-Angie...wha?"

"Man, you should change your name so we can understand ya." another wolf exclaimed.

Nuka quickly balled up his fists and he said, "Dude, you wanna start a fight? Because I can kick you straight in the ass right here, man!"

"Bro, just call me Musaki. And no, I don't wanna fight." Musaki added, getting annoyed.

"Sake? I could use some sake right now." Nuka added.

Musaki was definitely surprised that this was a young cub wanting to drink sake and he asked, "How old are you?"

"15."

Musaki definitely grew shocked that this young 15-year old is drinking sake and he asked, "Aren't you too young for that?"

"Man, screw that! Next thing you'll say is that I'm too young for streetfighting and smoking and all of that stuff." Nuka said, laughing stupidly.

The leader comes up to Musaki and said, "You better fight Nuka. He'll kick your ass to the ground."

"No thanks."

"Aw, what's the matter? Are you chicken?" Nuka teased, while making chicken noises.

Musaki rolled his eyes at them and he could sense immature behavior coming from these people and he just walked away from them, but Nuka immediately stopped him by tripping him on his leg, causing Musaki to fall down to the ground. He groans as he stands up and asked, "What was that for?"

"Fight me right now!" Nuka shouted.

"No way, man. You are too drunk and I don't associate with anything that involves drinking and fighting." Musaki exclaimed.

Nuka growls at him and just lets out a yell and just beats him up multiple times; kicking, punching, slamming and shoving him down as hard as he could. Musaki gets himself up and tries to walk away from him, but Nuka refused to give up without a fight and as he drinks on what's left of his sake bottle, he throws it down to the ground and leaps on top of him and lands on his back and then pins him to the ground.

"I'll stop fighting you if you fight me!" Nuka said, slurring.

"I can't understand a word you just said!" Musaki exclaimed, straining.

Musaki tries to get him off, but Nuka stuck out his claws further into Musaki's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain and Nuka grabs ahold of his neck, trying to choke him. Musaki began screaming for help, but Nuka punches him in the face multiple times and the rest of the gang joined in as they beaten him, punched him scuffled him and even smashed their sake bottles onto his head.

"Fight Nuka!" the gang chanted.

Musaki desperately tries to run, but the gang couldn't even let him go until he gives into their demands and that made Nuka claw him in the face and bite his shoulder, making Musaki scream in pain.

All of a sudden, Nuka got socked in the face by someone else and when he looked up, he saw Master Viper growing enraged that she saw him beat up Musaki and Nuka shouted, "Hey, lady! Why don't ya mind your own damn business! This kid stepped up to our turf and we ain't gonna take it!"

"You boys ought to be ashamed of yourselves!" Viper shouted, with anger.

She then turns to Musaki and gently slithered to him and asked, "Are you okay, sweetie?"

Musaki groans in pain as he coughs up blood out of his face and he received some beatings, cuts and scrapes around his face and some bite marks on his shoulder and replied, "I'm kinda banged up."

"We got plenty more where that came from unless you give up and fight our streetfighting bud!" the leader shouted.

Viper became deeply appalled by the fact that someone managed to force Musaki into streetfighting them and she said, "Streetfighting?! You boys had the audacity to remotely kill this poor panda just so you can let him participate in something like this?!"

"Uh...yeah! It's how we roll! It's in the streetfighting code!" Nuka said, a little uncoordinated.

Viper seemed obviously disgusted by Nuka's remarks and she said, "Musaki does not go for things like that and neither should any one of you."

"Look who's talking, snake! Why don't you just go home and do some girly stuff?" one drunken wolverine asked, laughing maniacally.

Viper knew she wasn't gonna put up with this and she went forward and swiped all of them down with her tail as hard as she could go and after that, Nuka was shocked by how serious she came to be and when she came to him, Nuka said, "Hey, that's unfair! I bet you can't take a pantsless 15 year old streetfighter! Unless ya wanna insert your tail on my butt."

"Leave her alone." Musaki said, weakly.

Musaki got himself up and Viper went over to him and she said, "Let's go home, Saki."

Both of them walked away and Viper looked back and hissed at Nuka for harming Musaki because of his stupidity as they made their way back to the Jade Palace.

"Who was that snake anyway?" Nuka mumbled.

At the Jade Palace

Musaki makes his way to the bathroom to meet up with Viper to get himself cleaned up, groaning in pain. On the way there, his groanings caught the attention of Master Tigress and when she burst open the door, she shouted, "Musaki, keep it down!"

"Probably a bad time for this." Musaki said.

Tigress growled and as she grabbed him, she saw his face being bloodied up and mutilated and her anger quickly turned into shock and concern after that and said, "What happened to your face?"

Musaki spat blood out of his face and replied, "Streetfighters."

She then sees claw marks on his shoulders and she immediately could tell that he was banged up pretty badly and Musaki told him, "I need to clean myself up."

Tigress lets go of Musaki and said, "Of course. Sorry I yelled at you."

"No biggie." Musaki winced.

Seconds later, Musaki walked inside the bathroom and Viper drew him some warm water to help cleanse the blood spots on his face and Musaki started cleaning himself up, Viper asked, "Why did these guys do this to you?"

"I heard some noises coming from parts of the village and all I saw was a couple of kids drinking and a lion cub dancing stupidly and next thing I know...some kid wants to fight me and I refused to do so...which in turn results into getting my butt kicked really bad. And some wanted me to drink with them and I also refused." Musaki explained.

"Good decision."

Viper turns around and sees Tigress standing there, listening to the whole story and as she came in, Viper asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to check on Musaki." Tigress replied.

Musaki turns to Tigress and he said, "I'm okay now. Just be glad that they didn't do anything worse to me."

Viper also brought in some shaolin wrap for his shoulders and while Tigress wrapped those around him, Viper left the bathroom for a second to put some of those back, leaving Tigress wrapping up parts of his shoulder.

"Does it look okay?" asked Tigress.

Musaki looks at his wraps and he said, "I think it's good. Thanks."

Tigress clears her throat and said, "I'm really glad that you're okay. Give me the names of these streetfighters that did this to you and I'll give them the same thing."

"Don't do that. Once you give in to them, they'll expect you to fight all of them...and most of them are underage." Musaki exclaimed.

"Underage?"

"Yeah, under the age of 18."

Tigress couldn't imagine younger kids would fight with Musaki and she knew that she'd never fight with younger kids and replied, "You're right."

"Could you not mention this to Shifu and the others? I kinda don't want them to know about this incident." Musaki said.

"What incident?"

Suddenly, Master Shifu comes in and notices Musaki's bandages around his shoulders and his half bloodied face as he glared at Musaki for what's going on.

"That incident." Tigress added.

"You owe me." Musaki muttered.

Do I know how to create drama or what? Let me know if ya need more!
