Chapter 10
The Battles
Jennifer ran after Eden and grabbed him by his arm. "Where are you going?" She asked him watching his bleeding face with eyes that looked truly hurt. "Eden? Are you okay?" He lowered his head and wiped off the blood. "I…I have to find my mother, Ling. She is here somewhere." Jennifer nodded. "Well I hope you'll find her. I'd love to help but I have a tournament to fight. My match starts right now in the dojo as well." "Who are you fighting?" He looked at her who lowered her head. "Juliet Faith." Eden's widened. "Julie?" She nodded. "I guess you won't be there to watch." She looked up and saw Eden was gone.
"Jennifer, the tournament is starting, you gotta go!" She heard Zion in the back calling out. "Okay!" She yelled back and ran back into the dojo and saw that evil man Heihachi is gone. She took off her blue jeans jacket and revealed a blue top and started warm up. She was doing her moves, fast and rapid and Zion stared at one power she held. She moved so smoothly and dangerously. He watched her do her trick moves and her braid flying into all direction possible.
Juliet didn't come and Jennifer was getting frustrated. She noticed Zion watching her curiously and so she stopped. Where is she?? She looked around the dojo and only saw Zion, Paul Phoenix, Forest Law, and Emma Williams in her black long dress and Gillis. "Jennifer Chang is the—!" The announcer almost proclaimed her the winner as she cut him off. "No! She will come! I know she will." Jennifer hated to win like that. She believes in a good fight. A fight where can she prove herself and show the others she is not to be taken for a joke.
Doors slammed hard against the wall as a woman with black bridges, blue tank top and wearing white sneakers walked into view. Her golden hair was unbraided and they shimmered from the light. She saw some of the men's jaw drop, making her jealous.
"My name is Juliet Faith. I have come to challenge you. Excuse me for my absence, I was not prepared." She took her left hand into her right hand and brought them up to her heart, closing her eyes and raising her head up. She then lowered her head and opened her eyes staring dead into Jennifer's eyes, as she stood in her stance. Her stance was an interesting one. She turned to her left and her right hand was in front of her left as they crossed each other and were also at her eyelevel, completely hiding her eyes. He fingers were in a resting position but her wrists were parallel to her forearms and her index finger was also raised high but it was also arced like the rest. She seemed to move around in her position but her right hand was the one she moved the most.
"Guide me, spirits." Jennifer said as she folded her hands and kissed them and stood there for a few minutes and then got into her position. Jennifer's fighting position was exactly like her mother's but she had a lot more moves than her. She pulled her braid away and brushed of her short bangs away from her eyes and was ready to fight and win.
"Juliet Faith Vs. Jennifer Chang! Final round…fight!" When the man finished saying his last words, Julie was already gaining on her. She already completed 4 punches that connected to her chest, making her cry out in pain. Jennifer made her tequila sunrise elbow smash interrupting Julie and hitting her in the face. But she wasn't finished, after the elbow smash, Jennifer saw Julie was ready to counter everything she just have done so she continued on with a middle smash hitting Julie straight into the stomach. Julie staggered and was stunned as Jennifer took advantage. She performed her Mad Axes throw and hit deadly into Julie's face. The last blow made her fall to the floor.
Instead of lying there like Jennifer expected her to do, Julie was up in a second and was already hitting her. She made a high spinning right kick followed by a lower spinning right kick, tripping Jennifer into the ground. Jennifer got up and saw Julie make a handspring and grab her neck with both of her legs and bring her down to the ground. "Ahh!" Jennifer cried out when her head met the dojo's hard floor but Julie was finished, she made another handspring, still holding Jennifer and threw her into the far back wall. "Ooo." Jennifer collapsed against the wall and slid down as though she was dead already.
Julie didn't run, she wasn't that stupid, instead she waited her out. A twitch was seen on Jennifer as she slowly raised, wiped of her blood and stood there in her position. "I'm not dead yet." She said and Julie heard the guys cheering, cheering for her. It didn't make her feel bad, it actually made her feel great finally a challenge worth coming to. "Then what are you waiting for? Come and show me what you got." Julie went into a jumping stance where her left hand is close to her heart and her right hand is lower. (Like Hwoarang's alternative style and like Lee's in Tekken 4.) Jennifer's eyes widened at at different stance and way of fighting…she was doomed. Julie ran up to her fullest speed and Jennifer backed up not sure what to do. Instead of running into her and slamming her against the wall Julie jumped into the air and rolled into a ball and landed on Jennifer's shoulder with her knees. "Ahh! Get off of me!" Jennifer screamed and watched Julie arc backwards touching the floor with her hands while she had a grip on Jenny's head with her knees. Jennifer felt something spread her legs and she fell over Julie face down as she forced her harder into the floor with her knees. "Had enough?" Julie asked as she held her in a death-grip. One more move and Jennifer's neck would be broken. "I forfeit." Jennifer said, coughing up her blood and Julie released her and looked at the crowd who was petrified. Julie got up waved her hand in front of her in an interesting manner and than she span on her one heal and crossed her arms towards her shoulders with knuckles looking up into up towards the ceiling and closing her. "Juliet Faith wins the match!" The announcer said.
Jennifer got up, wiping blood off of her, noticing Julie didn't even have a scratch on her face. Just when she thought the Mad Axes would beat the hell out of her. She looked at her knuckles that had Julie's blood on it. So where was the wounds on her face? Or is it her own wounds? Jennifer gritted her teeth but kept silent. She sensed that this 'Juliet' is no normal fighter she is a devoted fighter. "Are you alright?" She looked at Zion who had worry in his eyes who was extending his hand which she gladly took. "Yeah." She replied and looked at the woman but she was gone and nowhere in sight. "Where did she go?" Jennifer asked looking into Zion's eyes. "She went out of the gym." He said to her as she nodded and looked down at her feet. "I guess my mother was right, I'm not strong enough." She felt Zion raise her chin up with his index finger and thumb for her to look into his eyes. "Never doubt yourself. Never, there is always something that someone has that others do not." Jennifer smiled at his comment and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks Zion but I have to clean up now." "Let me come with you." She blushed but so did he. "Yeah…that'll be nice, sure why not." She smiled and felt him put an arm around her as they both walked out of the dojo, leaving Forest, Paul, Emma and Gillis behind.

"Mother!" Eden ran up to Xiaoyu and hugged her dearly. "I thought I would never see you again." He said and felt her embrace him as well. He then looked into her eyes and saw a lot of pain. "Mother? What's wrong? I'm here now, I'm here." He saw her smile and hug him again but she didn't say a word. "Where were you?" He asked her again but she didn't say anything. "Mother? Are you alright?" He looked into her eyes, and he felt as bad as she looked. She had teary eyes, her mouth was cracked at the corners, her nose was red and her wrist had red lines which looked like a knot was tied around it before. "Heihachi…" He said looking back into her eyes. "Heihachi did this to you." He stood up with anger burning within him. "No matter how hard I try, it all leads back to him." He raised his fist hard up to his chest. "I will finish him off. I have too. If I won't no one will." Xiaoyu looked absolutely hurt at his words. She is hearing her son talking about evil, meaning the devil was taking control slowly, and soon he will be another victim. "Don't go." His mother said standing up with her last strength. He turned around and looked at her. "But I have too, he has done too much and I feel he will do more. Mother…" He took her by the shoulders. "I will defeat him, I must defeat him, or more people would suffer and no one would be safe. You know that I'm right. Heihachi already has all the genes and his power is beyond the limit, you have to understand." All Xiaoyu did was nod.
"All I've seen is nothing but hate…" She said quietly. "What?" Eden asked her. "Your father. He was clouded with anger, he lost his way, became more angry and searched for revenge. He never understood he was wrong until he saw his mother, promising her, he does have good in him." He looked at her in a confused way. "But mother…what does this have anything—" "Shh…" She said and put a finger on his mouth. "Promise me one thing." She said and cupped his face with her hands as tears poured down her face. "You will not get swallowed up by evil. This world is good, its just people making it sad and ugly." He looked at her with despair. "Mother, I don't have to promise you anything because you are always with me." She smiled and nodded. "That's right. But I'm letting you to fly free." He stared at her in confusion. "Fly free?" He asked her in even a more confused way but she only smiled again and kissed him on the forehead. "Yes…I will let you be free and do what you think is right. When you think you are complete, you can come home and I will be waiting for you…waiting for you to come home, my son." He touched her hands that were holding his face. "I will come back." He said. "I promise."

Heihachi stared in disbelief as he saw the goddess leave the dojo. She is a true fighter a fighter who he must watch out for. This girl did not just look good but she bites too. She is like a storm who came to wash him overboard. She is a curse and he fears she will rise in the tournament. He heard Xiaoyu escaped from his holding cells and he wonders how. Oh well no great loss. At least he has the last two devils in his grasp. All he has to do is capture them and he will. He will not have any excuses. He looked through the camera as Juliet went to her next stage, fighting Christie Monteiro. He knew Julie is going to win, she is one of a kind and her endurance is miraculous. He even saw her heal after Jennifer's blows. She just healed right on the spot, wounds knitting themselves back together. Heihachi knew right away she wasn't a devil like Jin and Kazuya but she was an angel, an angel that once helped to destroy devil. Heihachi gritted his teeth. He will have her head and her powers and then he will be unstoppable. He watched the two get ready to fight and he searched for Julie's weaknesses.

"Here we go!" Christie said as she pointed at Julie and started to dance around the stage. Julie only smiled and pushed her long blond hair away from her face and made a prayer with one hand in the middle of her chest making a sign and looking down at it, closing her eyes. "Let the world's collide." She said in a whisper and went into her jumping pose. She needed to be fast since Christie was a Capoeira fighter, and it took an experienced fighter to beat someone like her. "Final round…fight!" Christie didn't wait she immediately started with her wheel kicks from her side step. Julie did her best blocking every move but the force was too great, she can't afford being hit by every move, she needs to side step. When Christie was on her third hit, Julie rolled off into the distance 3 feet away from her as she ended up missing the last 2 kicks.
She is fast… Christie thought as she turned around and saw a kick flying into her face which she blocked but staggered. Julie seemed to make another high spinning kick and another and another. Christie was turning to her left side already to Julie and that wasn't good. She felt a leg go into her ribs which made her arc on her side and just than her left arm was pulled and she felt Julie curled her right leg like a python and gave off a few kicks in her head with the same leg. The pain in her arm increased and her head was screaming from pain.
Julie stopped hitting her in the head and seemed to jump in the air still holding her arm and twirled, bringing Christie along for the ride. Julie fell on her back but her hands supported her well but unlike Christie who landed on her face and now had a strained arm. "Aaaa." She wailed at the pain. She felt Julie give the grip and roll backwards and jump up into her jumpy position. Christie felt like dieing, she never actually broke any parts of her body before but she is not going to give up. She is strong, and so is her spirit and she will win for Eddy. She stood up with pain and anger in her eyes as she looked into the crystal sea of the girl and pulled her arm out of the socket making it feel better.
She smiled and went into her Negativa and waited Julie out who seemed to make forward flips, gracefully and soon she will crush poor Christie. Christie never fought anyone with this kind of style before and she is hoping this will work. She rolled to her left as fast as she could and Julie missed by an inch. Christie came around her and Julie wheeled around as lighting as Christie grabbed her and performed her most hardest throw to make, the Rodeo Spin. Julie seemed to be confused and the throw worked perfectly. Julie was thrown into ground hard and she saw blood escape Julie's mouth and Christie smiled and ran towards her faster and grabbed Julie by the shoulders when she got up and made her Cabra Macaco throw. She stood on her hands in the air on Julie's shoulders. Just when she was about to go down and hit her in the stomach she saw Julie perform something like a summersault without using hands, hitting her in the back and landing on her back with her feet. It reminded her of Yoshimitsu's Poison Wind. Christie groaned in pain and felt Julie get off of her. "Juliet Faith wins." Julie moved her body like water as she waved her right hand out and than her left hand and brought them across her chest making another symbol which went into two fists that touched her shoulders as she closed her eyes and lowered her head. Christie watched the youth walk off from where she came from in despair, noticing Julie did not have blood on her face, not even a scratch…
