White Angel of Death
Shopping mall in Yekaterinburg, Russia…
Lili (Looks at some jewelry.): "Ohhh! I really love this one!"
Just arriving in the country of Russia, Lili was too busy shopping all of the stores out in the mall to worry about her fight coming up later in the afternoon at a military base not far from the city of Yekaterinburg. Sebastian had a cart full of bags and still had to carry some for Lili while she was looking at jewelry. He could only shake his head in embarrassment because so many people were looking at them. Then the telephone rang from Sebastian's cell phone. It was Lili's dad.
Sebastian (Picks up after putting the bags down and answers): "Bonjour Mr. Rochefort! How is your day going so far? Oh dear…yes…yes…alright. I will tell her." (Approaching Lili) "Miss Lili!"
Lili (Not turning around, scanning more jewelry): "Not now Sebastian. I must make a decision here!"
Sebastian: "But it is your father Miss Lili."
Lili (Mood swing): "Oh in that case let me have your phone!" (Takes the phone and pirouettes around to speak with her father) "Good day father! Do you miss me already? Huh? What was that? You want me to forfeit? That's so sweet of your father! However, I cannot do that! Hate me if you must, but I do my fighting all for you! We shall not let the Zaibatsu take over our business! I will win no matter what father! You will soon see! Adieu!" (Hangs up on him) "Everything is fine Sebastian. My father was only concerned for my safety. Need not worry!"
Sebastian: "If you say so Miss Lili."
Sebastian was still uncertain, not just in Lili's overconfidence, but with the worriedness of her father. This Dragunov person is dangerous. He would not hesitate to possibly take Lili's life if he saw fit, even thru mysterious means. Sebastian vowed himself to step in if Lili's life was hanging by the balance from Dragunov's Sambo techniques.
Later that day, Koltsovo Russian Air Force Base, Yekaterinburg, Russia…
It was a rather warm evening for such cold place like Yekaterinburg, but Lili kept her frilly dress on while riding inside her limo stopping at the site of the fight. Dragunov, however, was already seated under the tent as some of his crony soldiers were standing guard acting as a shield. When Dragunov could see the girl and her butler walking into the lighting of the airport runway, that's when he finally stood up.
Fellow Spetnaz Soldier: "Good luck sir!"
Other soldier: "Heh! General Dragunov won't need it!"
Dragunov kept the poker face on has he calmly marched into the center of the lighting at the fight stage. His hands remained behind his back. Lili flicked her long hair back and made a hand signal to pause Sebastian while she kept moving in Dragunov's direction. In Lili eyes, Dragunov was a grossly pale looking man. It would be unfortunate to make him look even uglier now that she must fight him in a test of combat. She could not hold her laughter anymore.
Lili (Laughing): "Now that I see your face in the flesh! It is most unfortunate that I have to rearrange it! I will make my country and family proud tonight! No way will I lose this match!"
Dragunov only rolled his eyes and got in his fight stance. Lili obliged and did a ballet spin before posing in her stance. A judge from the Zaibatsu approached the two fighters and made the go ahead to fight.
Judge: "Fighters are you ready! Fight!"
Not wasting time, Dragunov rushes after Lili, but the girl read his attack. Jumping in the air, Lili performer a handstand while holding onto Dragunov's head. Then she twisted her lower body and front kicked Dragunov behind his head. The force of the kick made Dragunov scatter away until he regained his footing. Gracefully, Lili lands back on her feet and playfully laughs at Dragunov.
Doing her ballerina like steps, Lili begins here offensive attacks. Dragunov then stayed on the defensive, blocking all of Lili's kicks and slaps. He was studying her fight pattern until he found an opening. Dragunov slid under Lili's legs and he surprised her by picking her up with just his feet. It got her off balance as the Russian spun Lili around and tossed her up in the air. The impact made Lili bump her head on the ground. Giving her no time to recover, Dragunov uses two hands and smashed Lili's back.
Lili: "Aaaaaahhhhh!"
Dragunov gave a small smirk as he started stomping on the girl over and over again! Sebastian looks on as he feared where this match was heading.
Sebastian (Worried): "Oh mon dieu!"
Hearing her butler's voice, Lili overcame her pain and stopped Dragunov's right leg from kicking her everywhere. Cartwheeling herself up she pops the Russian with a kick simultaneously. She follows up with her Honeysuckle kick which was an inverted hook kick over Dragunov's head. The force made him rollover but Dragunov's stops himself. Lili tried to hit Dragunov with a backflip stomp, but Dragunov gets out of the way before she lands. Sebastian was briefly relieved at the moment.
Sebastian: "Phew."
Not even grinning, Dragunov just dusted his shoulders off and resumed back in stance. Darting straight for Lili, Dragunov looked like he was going to rush tackle Lili once again, but he faked his approach. Instead he leaps in midair and connects with a superman style punch against Lili. The impact of the attack made Lili's body slide several onto the slick dirt. It was a good punch since Lili was slow to get up. Now Sebastian got worried once more.
Sebastian: "Oh aie pitie!"
Lili rolled on the ground again, but this time Dragunov pounced on her. Initiating the Ultimate Tackle maneuver, Dragunov was right over Lili. He consecutively punched Lili's face in until the girl stopped yelling. The young Monaco girl was knocked out. Dragunov simply got up and walked off humming. The referee came back into the fight stage as the sun was going down. He checked Lili's breathing. She was still alive, but out cold. The match is declared over in favor of Dragunov.
Judge: "Dragunov wins!"
Sebastian: "Miss Lili!"
Lili's butler rushed to her aid. The girl's face was bloodied. This look made Sebastian very upset. He asked the referee to call the medics immediately and then marched towards the camp of Dragunov. However, his soldiers would not allow Sebastian the opportunity to challenge Dragunov himself. Their AKs were drawn and ready for encroachment of their general's space.
Soldier: "Halt! Don't move another step or we will shoot!"
Sebsastian (Stops but he yells a warning.): "Tell your superior that the Rochefort family will not forget this day! We will come back to fight him again!"
The butler simply turns around and walks off. The soldiers could only look at each other, keeping themselves from laughing out loud.
The next day…
Lili was out of the hospital with a facial mask since her face was all cut up by Dragunov. She was quite disappointed in performance. Heck, it seems that her skill posed no match for Dragunov's aggressive Sambo style. Lili's heart felt better when she looked at the messages on her smartphone with encouraging words of support. While leaving Russia on the private family plane, Lili looked at the results of the other Tekken matches involving her counterpart female fighters.
Lucky Chloe won her third fight against Alisa Bosconovich which caught everyone by surprise. Leo lost to Shaheen, a mercenary from Saudi Arabia. Ling Xiaoyu's lost a tough match with King. Asuka Kazama defeated JACK-7 but not before taking a forfeit from her cousin Jin Kazama. Lili thought that scenario was quite odd. She wanted to send Asuka a message to find out why. After making up her mind, Lili found Asuka's number and tried texting her.
Lili (Texts): "Bonjour Asuka! I'm sure you know who this is! I was curious as to how the tournament is going for you so far! I wish my record was as good as yours Asuka dear! I do wonder how you convinced Jin to lose against you. It couldn't have been money was it? Or maybe you plan to take control of the Zaibatsu yourself! Asuka I never knew you could be so devious! When we finally fight, I will stop your plans of world domination and you will have to be my servant for 1 year as punishment! Maybe I am wrong about that! Do responds please!"
5 mintues later, Asuka surprisingly responds…
Lili (Hears her phone beep.): "Hmm….Oh my! Asuka responded! I can't believe it!" (Reads the message.)
Asuka: "F*** off!"
Lili (Shocked.): "Asuka!" (Texts back) "You don't have to be so rude!" (Mad face)
Asuka: "; p"
Red as a tomato, Lili just folded her arms in disgust. All she wanted from Asuka was her respect as a fighter and a friend (at least that is what Lili believes). For now, Lili needed to go home and recover from her beating against Dragunov. Thankfully her father was out of town once again. It would break his heart to see Lili's face all scarred and battered up by fighting.
