Rivals Face Off

The fighters that had won the first round were gathered, ready for their next fights. The defeated fighters had recovered enough to be in the audience now and sat watching. The second round was due to start. The match up draws had been decided and were now displayed. The first match would be between Jin and Hwoarang. After that Xiaoyu would face Paul and Heihachi would face Nina. Then Ogre would fight Panda and then face an extra match against Julia. Once the fights were revealed and final preparations were made, all the fighters except Jin and Hwoarang left the main arena. The two fighters stood facing each other; Hwoarang glared at Jin.

"Finally, now I get to beat you." He stated angrily. "You'll pay for humiliating me Jin Kazama."

Jin simply narrowed his eyes and looked at Hwoarang without much interest. "Do I know you?" He asked blandly.

Hwoarang gaped at this. "What, you and I fought before the tournament. We fought to a draw, don't you even remember?!"

Jin nodded slowly. "Oh right, that was you...The loudmouth."

"You!" Hwoarang yelled; seeing the tension the announcer started the match.

Hwoarang immediately assumed his fighting stance and Jin did the same.

Hwoarang then called out to Jin. "Just wait, I'll have you begging for mercy before long."

Jin cocked his head to the side and sighed before replying. "Come and try."

With that their fight began.

Hwoarang, his blood up due to Jin's insults, charged in recklessly. Jin however remained composed and focused and finally; just as Hwoarang was about to strike, dodged out of the way. Hwoarang stumbled and Jin launched his attack, getting in a few good blows before Hwoarang started to block. Jin leapt back from Hwoarang's counter and immediately took a ready stance again. Hwoarang shook his head. "What's your problem? If you wanna win a fight, ya gotta get in there and beat your opponent up."

A ghost of a smile appeared on Jin's face.

"Or better yet, let them do it."

"Huh?"

Jin did not answer so Hwoarang attacked again. This time, instead of dodging Jin caught Hwoarang's wrist and performed a move that his father also used. He swept his leg across, striking the back of Hwoarang's head, before swinging the leg back to knock Hwoarang to the ground. Hwoarang rolled back and glared.

"That's it!"

Jin nodded.

"You're right, it is over now...for you."

Before Hwoarang could react Jin performed his father's Lightning Screw Uppercut and knocked Hwoarang clear out of the ring, also knocking him out. As the announcer declared his victory Jin walked back to the locker rooms. Hwoarang was taken to recover. Once again he passed Xiaoyu and nodded to her, missing the look she gave him, one of adoration.

Xiaoyu sighed, she had watching Jin fight; he was incredible.

'He's so strong and...Amazing, I just, wish he'd look at me.' She thought to herself.

Even from the moment they first met in school, Xiaoyu soon developed a crush on the brooding Jin Kazama. All her friends were scared of him and told her she should stay away, that he was dangerous. She didn't believe them, she noticed that Jin was always alone; she made a point of trying to talk to him. So far however, he replied with no more words than necessary. Watching him fight only increased her adoration. It was her match next so she walked out to the arena, ready to fight. Her opponent already stood waiting for the match to start. Paul Phoenix. Paul was not known for his patience so she hurried to her place in the arena. Once she was there Paul smirked,

"Don't think I'll take it easy on you girl." He declared. "I've seen what you can do with that fight in the first round."

She smirked and assumed her battle stance. "That was just a taster, there's plenty more where that came from." She declared.

Paul smiled and assumed his own battle stance. "I can't wait."

Seeing both fighters were ready for battle the announcer started the match and stepped back, the fight was on.

Paul as usual charged in, determined to show off. Xiaoyu ducked under his attack and struck him in the chest with an open palm strike. Paul grunted at the impact and Xiaoyu spun away out from under him. Once behind him she swung her leg around in a high sweeping kick which struck and knocked him to the floor. She went to follow up the attack but Paul kicked her legs out from under her and soon she was on the ground and he was standing up.

Paul shook his head. "For such a small girl, you pack a punch, you're strong, I'll give you that." He then smirked. "But not as strong as me, I'm strongest there is, and this time, I'll prove to everyone."

Xiaoyu rolled back and stood up again as Paul continued.

"No flukes; no tricks, straight out fighting and I'll beat them all."

"I thought we were here to fight, not talk." Xiaoyu stated.

Paul laughed and nodded before suddenly striking out with his Burning Fist, sending Xiaoyu flying out of the ring and winning the match. Dismayed at her loss Xiaoyu walked back to the lockers dejectedly while Paul walked back to his smiling. As Xiaoyu walked back to her locker she looked up and froze. Standing in front of her was Jin.

"J-Jin I..." She began before lowering her head.

Jin nodded slowly. "You fought well Xiao; it's rare that someone smaller and not as physically powerful as him lasts that long against Paul from what I heard."

His words surprised and delighted her; she smiled and thanked him before heading back to her locker room.

The next fight was set to begin, Heihachi against Nina. Heihachi pondered what Jin had told him about Nina being possessed by Ogre. Heihachi knew there was only one reason for such an act. Ogre knew about Jin and seemed to fear him, therefore he possessed Nina. Ogre knew she was a skilled assassin and expert killer; so he was using her to get rid of Jin, the one he felt was a threat. Heihachi however couldn't allow that, not if his plans for Ogre were to come to fruition. Nina looked at him coldly.

"Another obstacle to get in my way." She remarked coldly.

Heihachi shook his head. "This has gone on long enough. I'm afraid you've reached a dead end, you will go no further."

Nina assumed her battle stance. "I have a mission, any obstacles to that mission, shall be removed."

Heihachi also assumed his battle stance and the fight was on. Nina closed the gap and immediately attempted a deadly attack aimed at Heihachi's neck. Heihachi sidestepped the blow and countered with a blow of his own. Nina dodged barely and took a glancing hit from the attack. She glared at Heihachi, her eyes glowing red before she charged in again. Heihachi decided to end things quickly however. He struck out with his Lightning Hammer and knocked Nina out cold, also breaking Ogre's possession as the red completely disappeared from her eyes before she passed out.

Nina was taken to recover while Heihachi returned to the top box. The audience were on tenterhooks now, the first three matches of the second round had excited them and now, the fourth was about to begin. Heihachi and Jin were tense however as they knew what was coming next. Next they would be seeing even more of Ogre's power.
