The Might of King

Lili's personal plane en route to Singapore…

Sebastian: "Miss Lili…do you want some tea?"

Lili (Watching TV while sitting her couch style seat): "No thank you Sebastian."

Sebastian: "Very well." (Takes the tea back in the cart he was using.)

Lili was still bummed out over the revelation of Leo's testimony given to her last night in Miami. Someone had stolen the talisman the Zaibatsu was seeking after all of their time digging for it underground at India. Leo had no idea about the identity of the person who snatched the talisman under the Zaibatsu's noses. So Lili was not pleased to learn about this news.

Also, her rival, Asuka Kazama just left the city in which Lili was flying towards for a Tekken match. Asuka won her fight and did not waste any time leaving the city. Lili had no idea where Asuka was going. The good thing out of this was that they were schedule face each other in Tokyo for the last preliminary match of the tournament. The time was getting closer for the eventual meetup and yet Lili had to deal with King, the famous jaguar pro wrestler.

The next day, on board the cruise ship stage…

King arrived first to enter inside the exquisite cruise ship sponsored by the Zaibatsu in order to face off against Lili. After getting dressed in his wrestling gear, King got an unexpected phone call. It was the brother of his mentor who now goes by the title "Armor King".

King (Growling.): "King here."

Armor King (Growling): "Where are you at the moment?"

King: "Getting ready for a match. I'm on a cruise ship."

Armor King: "What country?"

King: "Singapore."

Armor King: "I thought you were here in the States?"

King: "Nah. Haven't been there in two weeks. Why?"

Armor King: "Julia is trying to get in touch with you."

King: "What? Julia?"

Armor King: "Yeah. Check your phone. I'm sure she called you."

King (Looks at his phone.): "Ohhh…I see the number right here. Must have been working out or sleeping. I will return her call."

Armor King: "Don't tell her I told you to call her. Got it?"

King: "Hmph. I will keep that in mind."

Armor King: "We will see each other soon."

King: "Good luck on fight against Craig."

Armor King: "Huh?"

King hangs up quick…

King was simply teasing with Armor King in reference of his upcoming match with Craig Marduk. King had not communicated with Craig since the beginning on the tournament because Craig was still in prison. However, Craig soon got out and was not happy to have missed the chance to enter this latest King of Iron Fist Tournament. He planned to take out his frustration onto unsuspecting fighters that is until he encountered Armor King and Julia Chang. Since that encounter, Craig has been getting himself pumped up for his exhibition match with Armor King. King caught wind of this news, but he did not want to pick sides. Then King was about to call Juila until there was a knock on his door.

Door opens…

Cruise Ship Worker: "King sir? Your match is about to start. Are you ready?'

King: "Yeah. I'm ready."

Cruise Ship Worker: "Cool! I will go tell the host to get started. Good luck!"

Door closes…

King: "I guess I will call her back after this." (Referring to Julia as he puts the phone inside the dresser.)

Meanwhile at the front entrance of the dance floor converted ring…

Lili (Laughing Hysterically.): "No need to worry Sebastian. King may be strong, but he can be taken down once I overwhelm him with my speed."

Sebastian (Shaking his head from behind her.): "Either way. Good luck Miss Lili."

Lili was wearing her Pink Frilly Outfit with matching boots for this match. Her name was about to be announced as the crowd outside was cheering with anticipation. It filled her heart with joy to hear such praises from the fans. Once her name was finally announced, Lili did her patented gymnastic acrobatic moves while fireworks were being shot around the gates. Once the smoke cleared, the lights over the dancefloor went out. However, the screams were even louder for the next fighter to show himself.

King's Tekken 3 Arranged Theme plays…

Announcer: "From the deep jungles of Mexico…this man is the undisputed ruler of all Jaguars! Can Lili be able to withstand his might? His awesome power? Give it up for the one and only! Kinggggggg!"

More fireworks exploded as the smoke engulf the ring again, but the lights at the front gate illuminated as the tall shadow walked towards the dance floor ring. The lights came back on as King finally stood from about 15 feet away from Lili. He tossed over his black cape to uncover his large pecks in front of the crowd. His praise was even greater than Lili's. Lili simply folded her arms in displeasure. Then a referee appeared as he walked in between them.

Referee: "You both know the rules! Now! Fighters ready?"

Lili: "Of course." (Now in her stance.)

King said nothing but was in ready position…

Referee: "Fight!" (Backing away wisely.)

Neither fighter moved yet. King took a more defensive position believing Lili would make the first move. Lili may be fast, but her defenses would be easily exploited once she stops attacking. However, Lili began to talk to King while encircling him.

Lili: "My well are you the popular one. I would scream and yell for you too if I were not fighting you King. Once I beat you will you promise me something?"

King ignored her question…

Lili: "Not in the mood to speak? I really wanted to know where your friend Craig is. You guys are friends right? Well?"

That question caught King off guard. It was true both he and Craig encountered Lili during their brief time together, but why would she think they were really friends? He needed to stay focused. This girl was just provoking him.

Lili: "Oh come King! Say something!"

Lili finally made her move rushing after King. King responded by trying to grab her, but Lili performed a 360 jump to her right avoiding the takedown. King stopped in his tracks after he missed her. Lili simply slimed at him. With this strategy, Lili could hopefully get a strong combo in and perhaps beat King at his own game with a grapple style move.

Lili: "Haaah!"

Lili started throwing slap moves at King to fester him. King tried a clothesline attack at Lili but the girl ducked under and side kicked him on his right side. Lili then cartwheeled over King and performed her Soleil Grapple Throw by tossing the wrestler from her shoulders. The crowd was in awe of that maneuver performed by Lili. This did not keep King up for long. Lili tried to sweep kick at his head, but King side rolled out of the way as Lili missed him. Back on his feet, King was quickly getting irritated. Lili planned to keep this up while grinning. A few more hits and King won't be as bad as he claims to be.

Lili: "Ayyaaah!"

Another rush of slap flurries were given to King. Then Lili tried to sidestep past King like before, but King reacted to it and quickly caught the girl by her torso. This grip was not a place Lili wanted to be in. King jumped in midair and slammed Lili into the ground hard using his own weight. The impact knocked the wind out of Lili. Sebastian looked on from the balcony level of the dancefloor and got worried right away.

Sebestian: "Ohh Miss Lili! No!"

King rose back up and immediately grabbed Lili's sleeveless shirt to execute a Vertical Brainbuster. Once King picked up Lili in midair, the girl could not shake out the hold. King jumped back and threw Lili down! The ferociousness of the attack could be heard all throughout the stadium. Lili's head hit the deck, however she was still consciousness. The pain she felt was a different story though. King was not done with her yet.

King (Raising his fist, as the crowd yelled): "Now playtime is over!"

As King grabbed the back of Lili's hair, raising her up, the girl still had some fight left in her. She used both feet to kick King's mask which blocked his face of course. The pressure of the kick made King drop Lili back down on the ring floor. King shook his head to get his vision back, but then Lili geared up for a series of kicks, first starting off with the Angel Knee Ascension combo. The second kick booted King high in midair, impressing the audience. As King fell, Lili executed the Alstroemeria move, a combo of a jump sidekick ending with an aerial assault. King hit the deck hard. The crowd was in awe. Sebastian was relieved.

King slowly got back up, but Lili was gonna knock him out with her signature Piercing Thorn Kick. King meant what he said to himself that playtime is over. Lili leaped and turned her body sideways for the attack, but King slides underneath Lili and grabs her in midair once again while jumping. This technique was another signature move of the King wrestlers known as the Jaguar Bomb. King crushed Lili's upper body as gravity combined with King's weight landed on the ring. The crowd roared with approval of this well-known attack. After witnessing that attack Sebastian had another worried look on his face.

Sebastian: "Oh dear."

Not to be outdone, King grabbed Lili's legs to do another classic throw technique. This one was dubbed the Giant Swing. King spun Lili around in a circle eight times before releasing her legs. Lili sailed into the edge of the ring hitting the wall that protected the crowd. The impact of Lili's body cracked the wall and the pressure was enough to knock the girl unconscious. She lay on the floor lifeless. The referee ran over to look at Lili's condition and finally chose to end the match. King won convincingly as the crowd applauded.

At Changi Hospital…

After the fight, Lili was sent to a hospital that was privately funded by G Corp so that she would be treated with their technology. The doctors placed her in a special cryogenic tube so that her ribs and skull could heal back up quicker based on a temperature modification process. The process took all night to do, but once it was over Lili was to be placed in a locked room without sound for the next two days. The doctors assured Sebastian that Lili would be in a deep sleep during all of that time so that her body can heal faster. On the third day, Lili finally woke up from her coma. She was no longer in the sound barrier room as she rested in the hospital bed at another room for a normal patient.

Lili (Sighs): "I lost another match didn't I. I'm so hungry." (Stomach growl) "And where is Sebastian? I hope I don't have to be here for a long time. How many days has it been? Did the day pass for me to fight Asuka?" (Looking at a phone attached near her bed) "Oh good! A telephone! I will call someone to tell me what time it is and give me food."

Just as Lili picked up the phone her door opened and there was her butler, Sebastian. He had already arranged a meal for her courtesy of the hospital. It may not be what Lili typically liked but it would be enough to suffice for now.

Lili: "Oh Sebastian!"

Sebastian: "Miss Lili! I brought brunch for you. You poor thing. You must be starving."

Lili: "Indeed. I do thank you for your due service. I'm just disappointed that I lost another match."

Sebastian: "It cannot be helped Miss Lili. King was a strong opponent for you. No matter the result I am proud of you."

Lili (Almost tearing up.): "You're too kind Sebastian." (Then asks) "Sebastian? Tell me what is today? Is it too late to fight Asuka?"

Sebastian: "Today is Sunday, August 21st. Your fight against Asuka Kazama is on Thursday, the 26th."

Lili: "Oh thank goodness. It is not too late to train then. We shall leave this place immediately after my hunger is satisfied."

Sebastian: "Oh my hehe. Where exactly are we going Lili. You should push yourself too hard."

Lili: "Father still owns a beach house in Phuket does he not?"

Sebastian: "I believe so."

Lili (Sips on her tea.): "We will go there for 2 days and then depart for Tokyo."

Sebastian: "Shall I call the caretaker of the house and have them prepare for your arrival?"

Lili: "Please do monsieur."

Sebastian goes out of the room for the moment…

Lili: "Just you wait Asuka Kazama! When I face you victory will be mine!" (Laughing playfully.)
