Chapter Eight: Now it all starts
Lacrease looked down at the man laying on the floor. He had just made a sound. Lacrease looked at him angrily.
" Awww!!" The man screeched in pain. Lacrease looked at him again, he had light brown skin with black hair, black eyes. He wore a dark blue shirt with a black leather jacket, along with a matching pair of jeans pants.
He looked asian and was quite tall. He stood up carefully.
" Why did you punch me? What did you think I am... a spy?" The stranger said. Lacrease looked at him angrily.
" Well, you never know.... You probably are, the Mishima's hired you, right? And what the hell are you doing in MY room?!" Lacrease asked. Clearly the stranger realized she was angry. Very angry.
" What on Earth are you talking about?" He said," This is my room".
Lacrease stood in her fighting stance. " What?!" She continued, " Are you deaf, This is my room. Hear it, learn it and accept it. Now beat it!". While she was walking towards him, he backed untill they reached the door.
Lacrease tried closing the door in his face. But of course the young man she was argueing with wouldn't let that happen. He slammed the door open.
" If you're so sure this is your room, look at this!" He said and showed her the room key.
" Well, This is impossible" Lacrease said, " They must have given you the wrong room". Lacrease always had a good timing. You thought that she would have been calm but she just continued with the same anger. She looked down at the room key.
" Come, let's go and find out who's room this is" He said. They took the elevator down to the lobby and approached the desk.
" Excuse me, Can you please tell me who is staying at room number 15?" Lacrease asked confindently.
" The room belongs to.... Jason Fawkes" She stopped. She continued, " And Lacrease Foreman".
Jason and Lacrease looked very disappointed. Lacrease asked, " Can't one of us change room, are there rooms left?"
The woman started typing something into the computerand firmly replied, " I'm sorry, miss".
Lacrease looked at Jason, who she was sharing a room with.
" Fine, as long as you don't touch any of my things. Otherwise I'll kill you" Lacrease said. Lacrease walked of on her own.

It was the day, when the tournament would start. Kotou and Akiko had just reached the designated arena; Shinjuku, where Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu would fight. Akiko and Kotou were prepared for their fights; All or nothing, would be decided in several hours. Kotou was very nervous. Kotou wore a hot pink Qi Pao dress with white and orange flowers on it. Her blue hair was put up in long pigtails, like always. Akiko wore a black tank top with a netted black long sleved top. To the top, she wore a pair of black jeans. On her neck, a black leather strap hung tightly. The leather strap had spikes sticking out of it. She also had matching bracelets. Akiko's hair was down although, some parts of her hair was sticking up.
Kotou and Akiko, pushed their way through the crowd. Akiko looked at Heihachi Mishima. Kotou looked at him disgustingly. Heihachi wore his "Traditional clothes".
" Ewww" Kotou commented, " That clothing shouldn't be allowed... atleast not for 90 year olds"
" He's 90" Akiko said.
" Yeah, that man has certainly lived longer than his life expectancy rate" Kotou commented.
Akiko started to laugh. Lee Chaolan stood in the middle of the arena; He was going to make a speech.
Akiko just wanted to laugh about his outfit.
" Welcome to the Iron fist Tournament 5! There are many fighters here right now!" Lee said. Akiko looked around. Kotou looked up and saw a two meter tall man; Marduk. Marduk had became Lee's bodyguard. " Who will win in this bloody battle between life and death!!"
This is gonna be a tough tournament, Kotou thought.
Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law were talking. Paul wore a white t-shirt with a red jacket tied tightly around his waist. Along with some red gi pants. Marshall wore a chinese style shirt. And some blue pants.
Everyone looked up as a another young lady entered the arena. She looked like a sixteen year old. She easily got attention, as she gracefully entered the arena. She had Brazilian complexion, dark mysterious eyes and dark wavy hair, with lots of strands falling down on her face. Her hair shone in the light. She wore a turquoise tube top, with a pair of teal stretch pants. She was Miranda Gordo.
Kotou stood in the middle of the crowd. She suddenly got the creeps. She turned around. She saw a man who had black hair sticking up. And he had one black eye and the other one was red. He wore a pair of white gi pants with flames along the bottoms.
Wow, People here are creepy, She thought and pushed through the crowd to find her friend.
Akiko saw Ryu and Kai; they were talking. Ryu wore a black gi with blue seams along the bottoms. Korean words were printed in red on the pants. Kai wore his white leather jacket and white leather jacket.
Near Kai and Ryu, a woman and a man stood; they were argueing. The woman had brown hair tucked into a braid and was all wrinkly. The man had red hair; They were Julia Chang and Hwoarang.
Akiko gazed at the participants list. She saw a familiar name. It was Ling Xiaoyu. Akiko was shocked her mother had entered the tournament. Although she was nowhere to be seen. Two more people entered the building, Akiko couldn't see them very well. She could only see one. A young man, who wore navy gi pants. He wore no shirt. Kotou looked at the mark across his stomach. She wondered how he got it. Josh approached Akiko and Kotou.
¤
Kai and Ryu looked up at Lee, who was continueing his speech.
" Now the opening fight will start, Yoshimitsu vs. Kunimitsu" Lee said as Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu approached the arena, giving eachother deathglares.
" Fight!!!" The announcer's voice ecchoed. Kunimitsu bowed at her opponent, Yoshimitsu. Yoshimitsu did a pose with his sword.
Kunimitsu quickly attacked Yoshimitsu, knocking him to the ground. Kai looked as Kunimitsu keept kicking Yoshimitsu. The young ninja was very gracefully as she backflipped. Kunimitsu wore a purple V-neck, sleeveless shirt with some black tights. Her red hair which was in pigtails, peaked out from behind her mask. Yoshimitsu stood up. Kunimitsu did a throw, " Heavens sweep". Yoshimitsu luckily, didn't get thrown; They both did Ninjutsu and were able to guess what move the other one would do. They were also sworn enemies, and the chances were small that both would come out.......Alive. They would also attack eachother with dangerous moves.
Kunimitsu was thrown back with a counter attack. Yoshimitsu then, got an advantage and attacked Kunimitsu with all force. Slamming her to the ground. He then took out his sword. Slashing Kunimitsu's leg, which quickly started bleeding. Kunimitsu stood up, she took out her knife and threw it in Yoshimitsu's direction. It went right past his shoulder. Kunimitsu ducked and punched Yoshimitsu with a special punch combo. It was a seven move combo, Which Kunimitsu finished of with a powerful kick. Yoshimitsu flew across the Shinjuku streets and into the phone booth. Where Kunimitsu kicked him, untill he bleed. Kunimitsu sidestepped and got ready to throw him. Yoshimitsu fell into the trap, and was immediately flung to the floor. Kunimitsu held her hands around his throat, chocking him. She held too tight which immediately, snapped his neck. Dead; He was dead.
The crowd stopped cheering. " The winner is---" The announcer said, everyone saw Kunimitsu run out of the arena. " Kunimitsu".
Kai and Ryu were stunned by what they had seen. Yoshimitsu died very quickly. Only the first round.
Lee stood in the middle of the arena; again, ready to make a speech. " The next fight is Miranda Gordo vs. Marshall Law at the Building, in half an hour and after that is Akiko Xiaoyu vs. Paul Phoenix in the Airport, at the same time Kotou Tokuda vs. Lei Wulong in the Jungle".
" Good Luck" Josh said to Akiko and Kotou.
" See ya!" Akiko exclaimed and waved them good bye.
" I guess I'd better be going to my fight" Kotou said.
" I'll go with you" Josh said as they walked towards the Jungle.
¤
Lacrease looked up. She watched Miranda Gordo and Marshall Law were getting ready to fight. Miranda brushed her brown hair away from her face and whispered some words, looked up at Marshall and stood in her stance. Marshall closed his eyes for a second and opened them again. He made a sign with his hand.
" Fight"
Miranda gracefully attacked her opponent. She did a move, that she had made up " Flaming Canon" where she crouched and kicked her leg up to her opponent's shoulder, then quickly and effectively
jumped up and kicked Marshall on the shoulder. She punched him and quickly went back into her stance. Marshall ducked quickly and did, " Rising uppercut", then he summersaulted, which knocked Miranda of her feet. She rolled to the side and started to dance. Lacrease thought it looked kind of funny. She danced while making some kicks, that were quickly blocked and sent her flying backwards. Miranda winced in pain and quickly stood up. A wheel of different attacks were thrown at Miranda and
she felt, she was gonna die. She closed her eyes. She did'nt want to see what would happen to her.
" Marshall Law wins!" was announced.
" Round two!!"
Miranda got up, she kicked Marshall. Marshall blocked and sidestepped. Marshall summersaulted and kicked Miranda. Miranda stumbled backwards. Some of the crowd cheered. Marshall turned around and started posing for the cameras out in the audience.
" He's so stupid" Lacrease whispered to herself.
Miranda silently got up, she punched Marshall twice and slapped him once. She also threw Marshall. That finished him off.
" Miranda Gordo wins!".
Miranda did her winning pose.
" Final Round" the announcer screamed, " Fight!!!".
Lacrease saw the young female attack her opponent with full force. Lacrease yearned the moment, she'd be fighting Kazuya Mishima. That would happen to every price. Or would it.
The fight continued. Lacrease watched intensively as Marshall Law threw her to the ground. Her arm had been scarred after receiving many powerfull attacks.
¤
I opened my eye. I have to win. I just do. I got up and did some of my attacks; The quick ones.
Marshall, my opponent was very quick. I winced in pain. I had received a kick to the face. My nose started to bleed. I could see everyone looking at me. I blocked some of Marsha's kicks.
Marshall was about to do his most powerfull kick that would finish her off. He started the kick. He
kicked Miranda twice.
I didn't know what I did. I closed my eyes. I knew that I was going to be hit hardly.
I did a counter attack. I opened my eyes. And saw Marshall on the ground. I backed.
" Miranda Gordo wins!!". I was so happy. I did another one of my winning poses.
¤
" Shouldn't little girls, like you stay at home and clean or somethin', They shouldn't be fighting"
I heard my sister mutter, " I'll show you for little girl".
I knew what was going to happen. It happened.
I watched my sister beat her claws into Paul Phoenix's face, after he made a comment. She punched him twice, and went down into " Rain Dance" stance. She did "Dark and Stormy" during, " Rain Dance". She loved that combo. It had knocked Paul down. Akiko sidestepped and cartwheeled confusing Paul and did " Fortune Cookie". She then did "Phoenix Double Palm".
I've noticed that my sister is a very evasive fighter. She's also quick and does many powerful attacks. The two things she got from our parents; being evasive and quick from our mother and being
Although she denies it the whole being quick and effective from our father.
Our parents were both strong; but just in different ways.
I looked up and surprisingly saw Paul Phoenix being able to stand. Here it goes, I watched my sister slam him down using, a Hapkido attack, " Axe Kick". Hapkido and Tae Kwondo are very alike.
Paul Phoenix was kicked in the ribs and arms, by Akiko. I noticed that her kicks got more powerfull, the more she kicked. Akiko got up after Paul had done " Death Fist". I thought she was going to transform into devil. I thought the devil gene was taking her over. I hoped it wasn't.
Akiko stood up, she grabbed Paul's shoulder and she jumped and kicked him on the shoulder and when he was about to fall, she stopped him from falling. Phew, I devil gene hadn't taken her over.
The next thing I saw, was horrible. Akiko had stopped his fall, only to hit him even more. Akiko gave him a couple of kicks to his chest, then continued to hit his face with powerfull punches.
Akiko then, decided to use her Hapkido abilities. She started to kick Paul. She did her infamous or in some cases famous moves " Drumstick Kick" and her " Burning Volcano". Moves, that powerfully hit and hurt alot. Paul was screaming in pain after receiving a kick in the face. She went in to the "Art Of Phoenix".
¤
By that time, Josh and Kotou were in the Jungle. Kotou saw Steve Fox, Nina Williams and Craig Marduk, along with Josh were standing in the crowd. Lei Wulong started doing some complicated moves. It looked funny and Kotou had to hold herself from laughing; Which by the way wasn't easy.
Kotou did her pose and started to stick out her tongue at Lei.
" Fight!!"
Lei Wulong had attacked at went in to a crouch. Luckily Kotou kicked him very hard. Bringing very much pain. Her next attack was " Demon's Paw". Lei wulong unconsciously flew into a tree. Kotou started punching him. Harder.
Lei opened his eyes and looked at Kotou stunned. He received a punch to the face. Lei blocked and did another move.
¤
Akiko did "Art Of Phoenix" and cartwheeled when Paul fell. She was standing right behind him. Paul stood up. He didn't see Akiko, he turned head to look.
He blocked Akiko's punch and then threw her over his shoulder. The crowd were stunned. Especially, me. I didn't know Paul did Judo. Akiko stood up after being thrown. She did an attack I had never seen her do. It was a throw.
What?. I thought. I saw my sister doing a Judo move.
¤
Lei was gaining control. Kotou was receiving unblockable kicks. A loud sound was heard. Bang.
¤
I heard a voice. " 5, 4, 3—". I stood up quickly. If I didn't Lei would have won. I was dizzy after being knocked to the ground.
I did an attack.
¤
" Round Two".
Akiko kicked Paul to the ground. She kept kicking him. Harder. Harder. Harder. Blood crawled out on his skin. Akiko sat down punched him. She stood up and backed. Paul Phoenix opened his eyes, to receive a kick to the face and a couple to his ribs.
" The winner is.....Akiko Xiaoyu!!" The announcer screamed. The paramedics headed towards Paul. They carried him away. Akiko ran down Shinjuku while the crowd was cheering her. She approached me and Kai. Well, I did'nt know she'd win, I mean honestly she looks weak. I thought she was a weak schoolgirl. Like her friend, Kate..uh Kotou. Well, I can never be sure. Woah..Girls in this tournament are tough. That ninja girl was very tough. I mean she killed her opponent.
Well, we should head back to our hotel room. Kai was talking to his sister. Ugh. I absolutely hate his sister. I looked around.
¤
Kotou looked down at Lei Wulong. He was unconscious. Kotou had won the round. She looked up at the crowd. She could see the disapointed faces of those who had betted lots of money on Lei winning.
" Round two!!"
Kotou received a kick to the face. Lei got into a weird stance. He formed his hands in a from which looked like a snake. Then suddenly Kotou was hit. The thing he did was for distraction. Kotou fell to the ground. She got up again. She kicked Lei. She used a five hit combination which was powerfull. She let Lei get up. He stood up and this put his arms to the side and put up his left knee. It looked like a swan. Kotou hated those kind of moves and hated fighting those, who made such moves.
She quickly attacked him. Kicking him to the ground.
" Kotou Tokuda wins!!".
¤
Later...
" How was your fight?" Kotou asked. " I won mine, who was your opponent?".
" Paul Phoenix, He got two broken, bones and he sprained his toe too" Akiko said. She gets mysterious looks. " What? It's not like he didn't deserve it!!"
¤
Lacrease was walking down the lobby. She wanted to go for a walk. She'd probably go to the forest. She loved taking walks and nature. She might not have seemed like nature-type girl although behind that tough exterior was shy girl.
Lacrease had gone through a really tough childhood. Her life was perfect untill her fifth birthday.
*Flashback*
Five year old Lacrease is playing with her friends in her house. The phone rings and Lacrease's mother picks it up.
Lacrease ran of to her room to get something. She was very happy. Untill now this had been the best day of her life. It was her fifth birthday and all her friends were downstairs waiting for her.
Lacrease went down the stares. Her big smile quickly fadded, when she saw her mother's voice getting sadder and her mother break into tears. She didn't dare ask her mother what the phone call was about. She wanted to change the subject.
" Mommy, when's daddy coming home?" Lacrease asked cheerfully.
" Lacrease, honey, he's not comming home?" Lacrease's mother said. Lacrease was very naive and didn't like being sad. She also didn't understand what her mother meant. She had an idea, but it was too horrible for her to think about.
" Is he working late?" Lacrease asked. Her mother didn't know what to say.
" Lacrease, he's not coming home, again. He's dead" Lacrease's mother said sadly. Lacrease thought it was just a joke. He couldn't be dead or could he?
Lacrease realized her mother was being serious. Tears ran down her cheeks as she ran back into her room.
" Lacrease" her mother shouted at her. That wouldn't help. Lacrease had already locked her room door and was never coming out again.
*End of Flashback*
Lacrease heard a voice.
She stood infront of the wall listening intensively to the male voices. She quickly tilted her head towards the end of the wall to get a peak of who was standing there. It was Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima. She listened to their voices. She was angry about what she heard.
