Enter The Tekken: Yep I've decided to write another chapter- something that I think that I should have done a long time ago but I didn't really have any idea how to continue the story; I still don't! so please don't expect anything that good :o(
(Btw there are also some original characters in this chapter but they aren't anything major - just people in fights so nothing to worry about!)
Another day, another fight. Well that's what it had been like for both Ling and Julia, they had both been given competitors which when matched to their own talent were absolutely awful and the fights had been over within a matter of minutes instead of hours, well like Ling had said, at least we can take it easy from now on.
It had also been announced that a party would be held in the evening, they had thought it a bit strange that a something such as this would be held so early into the evening but it had been said that it was what Heihachi had wanted and what that man wanted he got, but Julia couldn't help wondering if any other members of his family would be there also...she hoped so, even if it wasn't the best place to met up; at a noisy and crowed party.
Trying not to think of the certain young Japanese man, Julia turned her attentions away from her own thoughts and to her friend who was currently bouncing up and down and she tried to pull Julia someplace.
"Yes?"
"Julia, c'mon please"
Julia looked at her friend with a slightly concerned look on her face, to be honest she had been so caught up in her own thoughts she hadn't taken in one word of what her friend had been saying.
"Sorry Ling...you were saying"
"Julia!! What's with you? You seem to be completely distant today; are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry Ling I was just thinking about stuff, anyway what's the big hurry?"
"Hwoarang's fight!! That's what, its almost time we can't let him down - I think he would really appreciate our support!"
Julia had a fairly good idea of what "our support" would involve, i.e. - Jumping up and down and shouting for Hwoarang to win, she also had a pretty good idea that it was probably the last thing Hwoarang would appreciate, but none the less, she would enjoy seeing the expression on his face when they turned up.
"I think your right, I mean he would probably...hmm lets just go" Julia said, "Where's the fight again?"
Ling rolled her eyes: Julia had just confirmed that she had listened to about a grand total of 0% of what she had been saying for like the last 2 hours. "This way, I will show you"
The small area near a tall and impressive water fountain, was glowing in the last shreds of the evening sunlight: it was one of the arenas with the warmest feeling about it - like it was somewhere that shouldn't be fought it. Heihachi Mishima didn't see it that way though; he just saw it as another place that he could invest in. Invest in and take over, but whatever his reasons it was the place that Hwoarang was about to fight in, and the place that Julia and Ling had just rushed over to.
Hwoarang adjusted the leather gloves that he always wore; he had just met up with Ling and Julia who had come over to offer their support. When Ling told him that they would be cheering him on she seemed pretty genuine about it - like she couldn't imagine anything more that Hwoarang could possibly want in the whole world, whereas Julia had just watched Ling tell Hwoarang with a sort of grin on her face which suggested she knew exactly what he would thing about the whole thing, but at the same time found the situation extremely amusing. Well he for one didn't. In one way he was...well amazed even, he wasn't used to getting any support from friends or family and was just usually left on his own to deal with stuff, but then on the other hand, Ling was going to be there and he had a feeling that if she was watching him then he would be worried about making an idiot of himself or something, strange; it wasn't like him to think about stuff like that.
"So you are going to win aren't you Hwoarang? I mean after all we have never seen you fight properly before" Julia teased.
Hwoarang appeared not to hear this question and continued with what he was doing. "What's the time?" he asked.
As if the announcer had heard his question he suddenly boomed out the details for Hwoarangs impending fight; and the fact that both constants would be needed in the ring within 5 minutes or they were at risk from disqualification.
"I got to shoot, I will catch you two later; after the fight?" Hwoarang said, peering at the two girls.
"You will!" Ling said "At the party! You are going aren't you?" A concerned pitch rising in her voice.
"Yeah...There's someone I wouldn't mind `bumping' into that's probably going to be there" He replied, and before they had a chance to inquire who it could be he had gone.
"Who...who do you reckon that he meant" Julia asked a slight part of her worry escaping into the question.
"I have no idea, probably that guy he was fighting with the other day; Jin!" Ling looked at her friend with a questioning look "Why?"
"No reason" Julia answered perhaps a little to quickly.
"Oh my God!!" Ling squealed, "I can't believe I forgot!!! Julia! Who was it? You have to tell me who was it that you met the other night?"
Just as Ling asked her friend the announcement came over the speakers that Hwoarangs fight had just began.
Not really knowing what to tell Ling, but also knowing that know wasn't the right time to tell her, she grabbing her friends arm hoping that the speaker message had distracted her attention away from the question in hand.
"Ling! We are going to miss Hwoarangs fight, we promised we would be there, c'mon!" She said pulling Ling along with her as she ran.
5 Minutes Later.
The fight was over; the young man that Hwoarang had fought was in no way competition for someone as skilled as Hwoarang, and it had only taken a couple of well placed kicks and throws on Hwoarangs part to knock his lesser opponent out. Hwoarang could only begin to fathom why they let people like the guy who was now laying on the stretcher into the competition. He didn't really care though because all that it meant that he was just one step closer to beating Kazama.
"That was kool! You have some really good moves; you will have to teach me some, sometime!" Ling told Hwoarang as she clapped her hands and jumped up and down.
"Yeah! I thought it was kool to actually, I'm more impressed than I thought I would be, hehe" Julia joked, a smile upon her face.
"Yes well, I'm sure it's been a long time since either of you two have seen a fighter of my prowess" Hwoarang said, a `look at me' smile upon his face.
Ling turned to her friend and whispered in her ear "is it just me or is his head getting bigger" She giggled
"What was that?" Hwoarang said, concerned that they were mocking him.
"Oh nothing" They both replied in unison.
Just as Hwoarang went to open his mouth and further the conversation they saw that the loud crowd of competitors and spectators alike were all moving towards something that not Julia, ling or Hwoarang could make out.
Interested in what was going on Ling grabbed hold of one of the people that was moving past.
"Hey!
Ling looked to see whom she had grabbed onto, a wealthy looking Japanese looked back at her, or rather looked down on her.
"Excuse me what do you think that you are doing?" She asked in a shrill and irritating voice.
Ling gritted her teeth as she replied to the stuck up girl "Sorry ok, I was just going to ask you if you know what is going on"
The girl looked at Ling, appearing to get more stuck up as she did so, "Do I know what's going on? Of course I do, you silly little girl anyone who is anyone know what is going on"
Julia glanced over at her friend, she could see that anger building up in her, and knowing what Ling was likely to do to the stupid girl, Julia stood in front of what seemed like it could soon become a full blown argument...either that or a full blown one sided fight; Ling could take this girl easily.
"Look, I don't know what you problem is but my friend was only asking what was going on" She said anger surfacing in her eyes.
The girl looked at Julia, obviously not impressed. She looked at how Julia was dressed (baggy jeans and a tight red t-shirt and a pair of DC shoes) and a snobbish expression appeared on her face, along with a small sort of smile; the type that people get when they think that they have something over you.
"Well" She replied, "Of course I can tell you what is going on, given that you can answer me that is" She said, smiling because instead of caring the conversation on in English, which was the language they had all been speaking but instead in Japanese.
Ling looked over at Julia and smiled, Julia who was also finding the whole thing rather amusing looked like she was trying not laugh.
"Oh that's fine" Julia replied speaking fluent Japanese, "What language would you rather I spoke in? English? Japanese? Cantonese? Mandarin? Or something else, Brazilian or French perhaps? It's your call but can you please just tell us what's going on now?"
The girl looked at her, she had the sort of look on her face that a person generally has after someone has said something and the other person doesn't really know what to say back - they just don't want the other person to know that.
"Well?" Julia asked, still speaking Japanese.
The smile that had been on the other girls face didn't falter; it just stayed fixed, like she was still trying to figure out how she had come out of the argument worse of than the other person.
"Yeah" Ling said subtlety "can you just tell us now?"
Realising that there was no point in continue with her charade the Japanese girl sighed and began to speak in English again "The Grandson of Heihachi Mishima is giving a speech, its very important that I in particular am there because... well you will find out" She said, finally happy that she had something over them, "Now if you will excuse me" She said giving them one more `I'm better than you' look "I must be off" And with that she went with the rest of the crowd.
"I wonder what he is going to say" Ling mused, still slightly pissed off about the confrontation with the girl.
"Knowing Kazama probably a load of bullshit" Hwoarang said.
"Well the only way we can find out is by turning up" Ling said, "What d'ya reckon Julia?, Julia??!"
Julia was lost in her own thoughts again but she snapped out of them in time to realise what Ling had just said, "Yeah sure it should probably be quite interesting"
Julia wasn't really thinking about it though, she was thinking about what Jin could have to say, and why the awful Japanese girl had to be there...
