Disclaimer: Yes we all know I don't know Tekken or the Characters. It be nice though…
(a/n): Thanks for the reviews. This chapter will have action as I said before. I'll try to make the chapter longer. This is where new characters are introduced and this is where the plot begins to play. Well Enjoy. ; )
Chapter 2
Underestimated
Eden finally entered the town he lived in. Slowly but surely, this town will soon be turned into a city. What's stopping? The forest he just crossed. People that want to build a city here say they need to cut down the forest. Many of the people are against it and others are for it.
Eden didn't much care, but it'll be nice to have a city. Then again he enjoys a good walk in the woods. Eden walked through the town and familiar faces passed by. Some of the girls waved to him but he just ignored them. He never talked to anyone here except for one person…Zion.
Someone tugged at his shoulders hard. It didn't take a genius to find out whom it was. "What's up, Zion?" Eden asked without looking. "Hello friend. Where ya been? I left school hours ago." Zion started to walk besides him. His white hair shone as the sun rays hit through.
"Had to stay over, no big."
Zion nodded. "'Kay, you wanna practice with me today at your dojo?"
"At my dojo?" Eden looked at his friend.
"Yeah, mine is occupied, students, you know." Zion seemed to drop his composure.
Eden played with the idea. "Sure, but my master will be there, so don't mind him. He LOVE'S to, and I mean love, to correct others." Zion looked at him this time.
"Does the old man know how to fight?" He asked Eden.
"Yeah."
"How?"
"I dunno, this super, super slow style."
"Whaa??????"
"I told you, I don't know."
"So what will happen if I punch him in the face?" Zion asked with cockiness.
"Trust me." Eden smirked. "You won't."
They finally got to the point where they separate and stopped. "Call me when you're done with you homework and eating."
"Sure."
"'Till then, see ya Eden." On that note, Zion walked to his house. Eden shook his head and smiled. Zion is the only person that makes him laugh. Eden looked at the rode he still needs to go. It's not long, not really.
Eden lied to Zion and felt bad about it. Eden is not going to eat nor do his homework. He got no homework and why should he eat before practice? His dad always told him, a good practice is always good before a meal.
What does it all mean? He's going to practice right now. He jugged the last distance and saw his master doing some sloooowwwww exercises. (And I mean slow.)
Eden just stared at him, watching him curiously from a distance. One of those days Eden will probably be doing the same…Just a thought. The master seemed to stop the minute he noticed him.
"Ah. Mr. Kazama, you are late. Your mother fell asleep while waiting for you presence."
"I know…I had to stay over, I needed to talk to my professor."
"Mr. Zion Malacon was here almost for 3 hours by now."
"Look master Wong. He cuts every class possible. It's a miracle he even goes to school."
"I see." Wong looked at his feet. "Well than, don't just stand there. Go get changed there is not time to waste." "Yes, master Wong." Eden bowed his head and walked in the house into the living room. He saw his mother sleeping on the couch with a big, wide smile on her beautiful face. Her hair was down and it went over her shoulders.
He thought of waking her but then decided against it. He loved her and he knew she worked so hard to make him happy, safe and refreshed. Now it's his turn. He smiled and silently walked into the corridor that led to the stairs and beyond that, it led to his room.
He opened his door and dropped his stuff on the platform and fell on his bed face down. "I saw that Mr. Kazama. Get up and don't be lazy like Zion." Wong's voice beamed out. Eden grunted in response and kept lying on his bed. "Kazama, get up right now or I'll--" "Alright already!" Eden said out loud, loud enough for him to hear. "I still don't see you, Kazama." Eden got up slowly and waved to his teacher in an unfriendly manner. "Geez…" He mumbled to himself and lowered the curtain.
Eden wanted to fall back on his bed but decided against it. He doesn't want another speech from Wong. Eden took of his white shirt and looked at himself in the mirror. "Hmm…I look good." He mumbled to himself. He started to measure his muscles in a fashionable way. "Torture seems to be working." He mumbled to himself again and took of his brown cargo pants and put on his Black Gi. He pants had a shape of a fire at the end and his button and zipper-less shirt had a white picture of 2 wings in the back. Everything else was black.
He looked at himself in the mirror and saw a man in the 20's, a man with a serious and yet a happy face. He frowned at the reflection. Eden was only 17 year-old who acts and even looks like he's in the twenties. How does he feel? Horrible.
"Mr. Kazama, it's takes you too long to get down here. What are you doing? Taking a coffee break?" Eden sighed. He was on a very short leash when it comes to practicing. Eden opened his curtains and looked at his master who looked very frustrated. "I'm going down now. Be patient. I was only up here for 5 minutes." The master just stared at him. When Eden existed the room he heard Wong yell, "It better take you 5 seconds to come down those stares." "Whatever." He said to himself. He skipped down the stairs and saw his mother was fixing her hair in the two ponytails again.
"Hi mom. Looks like your awake." His mother looks at him and smiles. "Oh hello dear. Where were you?" Her face showed so much concern. "Don't worry, mom. I'm okay. I just had stay over school with my professor." She seemed to ease a little. "Okay than. I think Mr. Wong wants you outside." Eden nodded, "Yes. Got to go practice, again. I'll talk to you when I'll come back." "Than I'll make dinner." She smiled in a very warm way. "Sure, mom." He excused himself and ran outside and into the outside dojo.
The first thing he saw was his master staring at him. His face looked like a steaming pot. Just a minute there, Eden thought he can see steam coming out of his nose and years…or maybe he's just hallucinating. "Okay…" Eden broke the silence. "I guess that didn't take 5 seconds." Wong just stared at him. He didn't twitch his eyes, legs, nothing. "Well now that I'm here, we can practice, right?" Wong didn't say anything. I think he's getting redder. "You insolent boy!!!!!!!!!!" Wong screamed at him. God…for an old geezer, he could scream loud, very loud. Eden cleaned his ears after that. "You don't take this seriously, do you!? I don't have all day. My days are precious at this age. I have a few more years to live and I want to make them worth to remember!" Here comes the speech… "Um…" Eden interrupted his 'precious' speech. "What's worth remembering since the dead can't remember?" Wong got redder. Eden can now see steam coming from him. "You dare insult me!" Eden rolled his eyes and took a deep, deep breath. "When I was your age…" Oh god…what is this? A history lesson. Someone turn on an air conditioner. I think someone is about to over heat… "…so as you see, I would never do that!" Wait a minute…what happened to everything in between that sentence? Was it like people say, it goes in through one ear and goes out the other? Probably, 'cause Eden has no clue what he says. This goy is so old and still has the power to scream to the top of his lungs.
A thought slipped by Eden's mind. He imagined if Wong was one of the survivors in Titanic the movie. Not even cold water would stop him screaming that loud. "Are you listening to me!!!!????" Eden felt a chill run down his spine and head ringing. He needed earplugs, fast. Wong slapped him in the face hard. "Ow! What was that for?" Eden rubbed his cheek. "That's for not paying attention! If you were alert, you should have been able to stop that hit." Eden underestimated his teacher. He felt sorry for all the students that had him.
"Alright already. Lets train." Wong nodded and told him to get into his fighting position.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jin sidestepped to his left and the man had missed nearly by an inch. The man whiled around and hit Jin in the head with a back fist. Jin head rang out. Another punch was swung at him and Jin ducked under them and performed an uppercut at him. The man flied into a tree and was stunned. Jin didn't chuckle or anything like that. He kept focused. This man is no ordinary man.
The man shook his head and smiled at Jin. "Very good, Jin. But you've seen nothing yet." The man shook off the debris from himself and went into his position again. Jin was frustrated; this guy is always able to get up from his hard hits. Jin walked around a little. First to his left than to his right, trying to confuse his enemy. But instead of confusing him the man started to strafe as well. Damn it! Where is his weak spot? I tried everything. The man advanced on him and than made a jumping kick. Jin sidestepped once again but than his face met the man's other leg as he landed. Jin jaw was aching as he stumbled over a tree. The man seemed to take advantage and tackled him. Jin wasn't fast enough to stop him and fell towards the ground with him. Punches met his face harshly and Jin could feel blood running down his face.
Jin blocked his 4th punch, rolled backwards with the man and sat on top of him and gave some of his punches and than went to break his right arm. Jin grabbed it and the man rolled all of a sudden and pulled his arm out of his grip and made a low-full roundhouse and Jin tripped back into the ground.
His face hit the dirt and he jumped up on his feet and made a hard right roundhouse punch. The punch connected with the man's jaw, making him fly off 5 good feet away from Jin. Bloodstains were left on his knuckle and he wiped it off. He came up to the man and raised his head from the ground by his hair. "Had enough?" He asked him is a cruel way. The man choked on his words and his face was disordered. Jin had to admit, that was one hell of a punch. "Thought so." Jin dropped his opponents face back to the ground and turned around as he stood and saw about 10 rifles pointing at his chest.
Jin froze in place, he couldn't move, couldn't think, couldn't say anything. He heard clapping in the back as someone came through the Tekken Force…Heihachi Mishima. "I underestimated you, Jin. I never thought you could actually defeat him. Experience is a great aspect of a true warrior, hmm?"
(a/n): So how is this chapter? You're enjoying this yet? Tell me if I made any mistakes. Oh and when Eden calls Wong master, I meant it in a way of a master that teaches you how to fight. I don't know if I'm correct or not, so…just tell me okay. I don't want to end up looking like an idiot. Anyway thanx for reading. By the way, I think I already have a name for the guy, but I still want some suggestions. I'm not really fond of the name I thought up. If you want me to continue, just tell me, okay? Tell me what you think is going to happen. I just want to know if I succeeded at making you think about what you think.
^_^
Tee-Hee!
Thanx for reading!
