Chapter 14 - 拥有你缺乏... (The possession you lack...)
Kuzon was back in hall of warriors, His mind was racing and he could feel his heart race as the other contenders around him kept peaking a whispering about him, things like 'He's some kind of champion, he's a freak if you ask me.' Some even said that they could see his eyes starting to glow a bloodish colour as they saw croc pass out. His rage got the better of him, in any other case that would be fine, but at this point in time he was being very careless. No one knew him round here, and everything had just gone up in smoke with a 'poof' as soon as he drank the polar spark.
Whether people thought Kuzon was the real deal or just a bluff was irrelevant. The thing that mattered was if Tigress thought he was bluffing. After all, this was what the situation was about. After Kuzon left to go upstairs Tigress was talking to Shifu, or at least trying to. Shifu ignored ever question of her's and didn't even turn to face her… all he did was walk away…
Kuzon sat thinking of what to do; he had nothing to do at all! Only thing to do was wait. But he didn't wait long until someone came up to him. He was in doing his kick pads and was gonna take off his boots when a shadow prevented light from his sight. He looked up… lord and behold a Tigress, her fur brushed and her ruby eyes shone in the shadow. She was frowning at Kuzon and had her hands on her hips. Her aura felt dark and Kuzon was sweeting a little in fear, but he had to keep calm, that what he told himself, 'keep calm and the rest will fall into place.'
Kuzon slipped off his other kick pad and stood up to get a better look at Tigress, she wasn't very happy at time sure, but this… this was different.
"I just came over to get something straight, no matter what media you read and how much information about my life you consume. You will never know me… also, if you do somehow manage to win the tournament, I will not be you tutor…" Tigress said with a cold and hard tone
And with that, Tigress turned to walk away, but Kuzon grabbed her by the shoulder. Now this wasn't the smartest idea, but this was the only way Kuzon could get her attention, you could hear few of participants gasp as Kuzon gripped Tigress' shoulder. Kuzon realised what he had just done and mentally kicked himself for it. But there was no turning back now. Tigress turned to Kuzon with a spark of anger in her cold aura and looked like she would snap at any moment.
"look Tigress, Just because-" Was all that Kuzon could say until he got his hand put in an arm bar and was pinned to the ground by the leader of the five, Kuzon was on his stomach and had his arm behind his back, Tigress put pressure on the hold and Kuzon started to grunt, but he laughed a little with a grunt again by Tigress putting on more pressure.
"That's Master Tigress to you, and I suggest you keep your hands to yourself, otherwise you'll end up with a broken arm." As Tigress released Him, Kuzon quickly caught Tigress' arm and put her in the same position as he was in before. Tigress' expression said it all, she didn't expect Kuzon to be so skilled and so quick, she knew one thing though, He was strong. It may sound stupid and obvious but his strength was over her kind of level. In fact, she couldn't even move her arms that were under her stomach.
"You were saying Master Tigress? I think I'm the one who choices who tutors me, but who said it would be you? Your to paranoid, why is that Master Tigress? Did I say something that got under your skin? Did I get under your Shifu's skin?"
"That's MASTER Shifu to you! Get your hands off of me!" Tigress struggled and wriggled, but her attempts to escape were to no avail.
"You know, it would be a shame if your master found you like this, what would he think? Should we ask him? I wonder what he would think to find his daughter pinned to the floor, helpless in front of about 30 people, He would think you're breaking his rules" Kuzon said with a sly smirk across his face, he knew what Shifu would think, his daughter having a romantic relationship with anyone would be a crime in his book. Not to mention a Street fighter.
"I'll tell you what Master Tigress, how about you leave me alone-"Kuzon picked Tigress up with her hands still behind her back and turned her to the door. "And I will never mention a thing to little ol' Shi-fluck…" Kuzon released Tigress and as soon as he did she attempted a legs sweep, but Kuzon jumped and as he did he tried going for an Enziguri kick to her head, which Tigress dodged. As Kuzon landed and they both got into their fighting positions, they looked at each other. Tigress was glaring but Kuzon just had a mono expression. He looked into her eyes and he got caught up in her beauty.
Kuzon eventually let his hands fall to his sides; he didn't want to go too far, it wasn't worth getting suspended or even disqualified. He just let it go; she was after all his future wife. Tigress followed suit and glared at Kuzon, he could tell she didn't trust him and she was right to, if anyone thought about trusting street fighters then they would be an idiot to be surprised at what happens.
Kuzon looked round at the 30 participants, who had started to get back to their own business, Tigress came over and grabbed Kuzon by his shirt, her breath rough, but her face was mono.
"One more thing whiskers, if I ever find that you went after my master, then you better learn how to crawl… understand?"
Kuzon just smiled and quickly pulled Tigress' hand off of his shirt and lifted her up about a foot off of the ground. Tigress' face was priceless, they were roughly the same height, maybe Kuzon was an inch taller. But Kuzon's agility and strength far exceeded her's.
"I'll make no promises, but I'll keep it in mind sweetheart." Kuzon said, releasing Tigress with a smirk on his face, the arrogance of Kuzon was more than normal, he had been cocky ever since he got under Shifu's skin, he was going to get him, that was a fact. But it was just a matter of how.
Kuzon picked up his bag and left out of the back of the palace and went round into the stands, where he could watch the next match, he liked to watch his competition, and it helped him find strengths and weaknesses. He sat down in a big crowd in the stands, it was loaded with people and it was loud as hell. But that also added to the fun of the tournament, mad fans, pro 'Know it all's' and children.
The next few matches were dull to be honest, but with the amount of wanna-be Kung Fu Fighters, there was a skill level. Kuzon looked around and mostly the competition was boring and had no taste. This wasn't a bad thing in some cases, but wasn't good ether… It was boring and Kuzon needed to make the impact he envisioned. He had a lust for violence and justice; he was like a fighter of injustice. He wanted his way with the criminals and most of the time it would be painful.
Kuzon sat there for another two hours and was fiddling with the idea of leaving for today, but the next match was interesting… There was a bear that weighed over 800 pounds and it stood at 7 foot 4', this was unlike anything else. But the opponent was even more interesting, an ocelot. 4 foot 6', weighed 110 pounds. A light weight of this calibre shouldn't even be fighting at all, let alone an 800 grizzly! But something caught Kuzon's eye… This ocelot looked familiar; she had a white patch on the tip of her tail instead of a black one. Her jade green eyes were gleaming with spirit. She wore a lot of white, white pants, white shirt, white saddles. The lot. But she had black trimming on all of it, like Kuzon.
"You crazy girl…" Kuzon said, starting to panicked, He had to get down there.
The ocelot didn't show fear, but she did show hesitates. Her legs start to shake a little, but it was from excitement, her heart was racing and she started to sweat, the beads of sweat started to slid down her forehead. She was looking straight into the grizzly's bright yellow eyes, which were staring back as well as his gritted teeth, his breath stank and it was heavy.
As soon as the bell rang the grizzly dove at the ocelot, with a screeching roar he attempted to grab her. She was quick and she slid on her knees and went night under as the grizzly dove over her, time stopped for her and as it did, she lifted her legs up and slammed them in the belly of the grizzly, winding him. He collapse on the ground but ran at her while he was sliding on the ground, his paws slipped and slid as he ran, eventually gathering speed, roaring as he charged, the grizzly attempted another grab, this time he was successful.
Grabbing the feline by her shoulders, the bear lunged on her with great force; the back of her head hit the ground, so much that it even knocked her out cold… The bear was about to pound on her when a crackling sound came from the side of the grizzly; He turned to see Kuzon standing at the side of him, 50 feet away, with a gun in his hand aimed straight into the sky. Kuzon stared at the bear and the bear stared back with great force.
Kuzon lowered the Gun to his waist and walked to the grizzly, the bear climbed off of the ocelot and charged at the tiger in front of him, his legs hammered and pattered as he ran and ran, faster and faster. As he got close to Kuzon he lashed his teeth at him and focused his target on Kuzon's neck. Kuzon sheathed his gun in his pocket and tackled the grizzly in mid-air, both him and the Grizzly wrestled and grappled on the floor, biting and clawing at each other, bloody spilled as bites sank and claws scraped. Guards soon interrupted and split the two up, but it wasn't easy, one time Kuzon got loose and slammed his knee in the grizzly's face and started to ground and pound. But Guards got the better of him and split them up again. This went on as the ocelot had reached conciseness, she shook her head and looked around her, spotting the blood splatters and her fur was covered in t as well, but no wounds… The ocelot followed the trail of blood and saw where it led up to, she stared at its source with a shock feeling in the stomach, the grizzly's ear had been ripped off… its side of its head poured with dark blood as it covered his fur and soaked in… The Ocelot saw Kuzon, her face suddenly sprung to life with a happy gaping smile, she got up slowly and started to walk over to the two, she stood at the side as the crowd cheered as she got up, showing her compassion. But as soon as she came into eye contact with the two, the grizzly growled at her, Kuzon saw his opening and took it. He ran straight at the grizzly with speed and as he got close he levitated himself with his foot onto the grizzly's knee and using his right shin, slamming it into the grizzly's jaw, knocking him out. The grizzly stood stunned for a moment before rag dolling to his back, landing awkwardly. The guards pulled Kuzon back and started to push him out of the palace grounds, when the ocelot spoke.
"Let him go! He's only protecting me! Release my dad!" As she spat the words out she realised what she just said, Kuzon snapped his focus onto The ocelot, he knew it was her…
"S-Sayaka?" Kuzon whispered, in a very disbelieving tone.
"Hi dad…" Sayaka responded with a very shy look and smile.
The guards let go, letting Kuzon Lift his Daughter up and squeezed her, Kuzon began to cry, his ears we buried as Sayaka stroked his back, showing compassion and understanding.
"It's ok dad, let it go… its ok." Sayaka whispered as Kuzon let his tears go, Dampening Sayaka's white shirt, Sayaka held onto Kuzon and didn't let go, neither did Kuzon. They stayed like this for a good 2 minutes, in this time, people awed and mentioned how sweet the moment was. Kuzon finally let go and looked into Sayaka's eyes, a big smile on her face, she was the sweetest girl he could have ever met, He was proud to have trained her, if only she had managed to finish the match herself.
"I'm sorry I interfered in you match… you were doing so well…"
"Don't worry about it; we just need to get you and momma back together. All I want is our family back." Sayaka hugged her dad again and squeezed.
Tigress and Shifu looked at each other on the stage, in front of the palace. Tigress was thinking about her relationship with her master, they hadn't really been in much ways of 'Father and daughter quality time.' Tigress looked away from Shifu and at the five; they were coming up the stairs of the stage, each with facial expressions that had different view, even Po.
Viper had a smile on her face, mainly because of the sweet ending of the final match; she always did like family reunions. Monkey had a dark look on his face, but he wasn't mad, he didn't know why he felt bitter. Crane had a very sympathetic look on his face, he always was the person of reason and from what he thought, and he thought that Sayaka was very brave to go against a grizzly. Mantis was just blank as couldn't careless; he never was on for happy moments. Po was just fan boy-ing over what just went down, the shining wizard kick by Kuzon was just awesome! Tigress' opion o things were very dark, but she felt a bit of compassion for Kuzon and Sayaka, two family members reunited and now they have to fight each other in the next round next week. Whatever the case, Tigress was starting to hate Kuzon even more for his bitter feelings to every stranger…
