Chapter 9!!!
First arrivals
The next morning Nanasi was up early and taking them on a jog around the town.
"Ugh, I hate this whole jogging thing," Tyson said between breaths.
"Stop your complaining Tyson, you may have gotten faster but you're still not fast enough so you need to lose a couple more pounds," Nanasi replied frowning at him.
"Yeah, besides look at the sunrise," Hilary said as they ran towards the beach. Suddenly Nanasi stopped in her tracks. Standing on the beach was Nina.
"Long time no see or beating should I say Nina," Nanasi said with a smirk.
"Shut it kid. The boy is coming with me this time," Nina said narrowing her eyes at Kai.
"Ok, you want to tell me why the Fight God wants him?" Nanasi said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"What? Are you crazy?" Hilary asked looking at Nanasi.
"I don't know. I have orders to get the boy, who told you the Fight God wanted the boy?" Nina asked slightly confused at how Nanasi had received the information.
"Along the pipeline," Nanasi replied simply.
"Well, hand him over," Nina said taking a step towards him.
"Sure, but you have to get through all four of us first," Nanasi said getting into a ready stance. The other three hesitated and then did the same.
"What? Don't you kids realise yet none of you three stand a chance against me?" Nina asked smugly.
"Don't listen to her. You kids have come a long way and I believe you can each beat her in your own right," Nanasi hissed. They nodded and each took a step forward.
"Hey Nina, how's it feel to get back some of your own medicine?" Tyson shouted as she looked at them in disbelief.
"Let's do this," Ray said.
"Right," the other three replied. They jumped towards her, Nanasi in the lead. She took a flying kick at her, but Nina managed to duck and then tried to uppercut her.
"Not happening!" Ray shouted planting a punch in her side. She flew to the side and landed on the sand. Hilary ran forward and kicked her feet out from underneath her as she tried to stand up. She fell down again. Kai stood by, uneager to approach her, sensing his danger.
"What? Don't you want a piece of me too?" Nina spat struggling to get up. Kai folded his arms and gave her a smug smile.
"Why? They'll do it for me," he replied. The other three laughed.
"Rah!" Nina said jumping towards Kai. He unfolded his arms took a step back and then back hammer punched her as she approached him. She was thrown back into a palm tree and lay still.
Kai stood still for a moment and then held his knuckles. Nanasi walked up beside him and nodded slowly.
"Nice hit," she commented. She then laughed a little. "Hurt huh?" they laughed as they jogged back to the Dojo.
"Nina, you disappoint me. How hard can it be to get a mere child?" the dark, tall figure demanded. Nina cowered under his glare.
"The girl keeps interfering, she's even training the three that are left to defend themselves," Nina replied softly, too scared to raise her voice very loud.
"No matter, you will have a chance at all four at the tournament. You are entered, as am I. You had better not fail me there. It is in two weeks at Mishima Island stadium." With that he disappeared.
"Stupid girl, you'll pay," Nina snarled clutching her side as she sank to her knees.
A week later the four travelled to the town that was the only link to Mishima Island, in the company of Tyson's Gramps.
"It really wasn't necessary for you to come you know Gramps," Tyson said as they walked down the road.
"There ain't any way I'm going to miss out on this tournament, I'd always wanted to see it," Gramps said, his eyes sparkling as he thought of the possibilities.
"I hope you don't plan on entering," Nanasi said politely. It amazed Kai how she could be so cold to him and the others but she showed a lot of respect to Gramps. "It's not just a whole lot of upcoming experts. They are all experts in their respective arts."
"Hell no, but it will be fun to watch, those scat cats are going to show off some real skill out there," Gramps said as they passed an intersection.
"How far are we now?" Hilary asked Dizzi.
"Uh. I think-"
"We're here," Nanasi announced as they topped the hill. Down below the town was spread out and over the town; on the horizon they could see the Island.
"Mishima Island," Ray said staring out onto the horizon. Nanasi began to walk to the side of the road.
"What are you doing?" Tyson asked as he and Kai looked at her.
"Picking up a parcel," she said reaching into a bush and pulling out a brown paper covered package. It had a note attached to it.
"What's it for?" Ray asked as they sat down around her. She stuffed it into her pack.
"Forget about that, my friend left us the format and rules," she said and began to read. "No formal rules apply except that if a participant is knocked out or killed they are automatically out of the competition."
"Killed?" Hilary stammered.
"What did you expect Hilary, this is the last true tournament in the world," Ray said.
"Beyblades can be used as a weapon against another competitor or their blade. Swords or other such weapons are also permitted."
"Way cool!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Hey little dude, you could have brought your Kendo stick," Gramps added.
"I think a sword would have been better," Nanasi replied reaching into the bushes again. She produced two swords, of equal length.
"Whoa, are they yours?" Tyson asked eyeing them.
"Yes, it's good to see my friend took care of them for me," Nanasi replied inspecting them closely. She then tied them around her waist and stood up. "Let's go."
They arrived in the town at night fall and stopped at a small lodge.
"We'll leave for the island at about two o'clock, catch the two o'clock ferry from Mishima ferry port, I'll meet you over there," Nanasi said leaving them to sleep.
"What does she mean? Isn't she coming with us?" Hilary asked nervously.
"Obviously not," Kai replied his hands behind his head as he lay on the bed.
"I wonder why not?" Ray wondered aloud. 'So do I,' Kai thought to himself.
"She's probably got an agenda she's got to stick to," Gramps said with a yawn.
"Yeah, but shouldn't she be staying with us to catch the ferry?" Tyson asked.
"Who cares, what matters now is that we stay alive until tomorrow and onwards for that matter," Kai said lying down to sleep.
"Okay, I'll take second watch, Tyson you take the first, that way we won't have to worry about waking you up," Ray said getting into his bed.
"Oh gees, alright. Since you put it that way," Tyson said sitting on the lounge.
At about three Ray swapped with Kai. Kai sat on the lounge deep in his own thoughts.
'If Nanasi's right and the Fight God is after me I'm going to have to really block him out of my thoughts. It's going to be tough but I'm going to beat him. It's just another step to perfection,' Kai thought to himself. He heard a noise outside the window and jumped to his feet.
He ran to the window and looked out. There was Nanasi, standing over another MFG soldier. She looked up, gave what resembled a smile and then nodded. Kai smirked and left the window. 'Great, here I am keeping watch for no reason. No matter, I'll just practice that mind blockage Nanasi taught me.'
The next morning they walked around the town, looking at the market stalls and tourists sites.
"Ooh, look at that," Hilary said picking up a glass figurine.
"That is the mythical God of Fight, he is the most powerful and dangerous being around," the stall owner said taking it from her. "There is a truly wonderful tale about the God of Fight. Would you like to hear it?"
They looked at each other before nodding.
"Good, good. Please come into the restaurant and I will make you lunch," he said taking the figurine with him. Once they were all seated and eating he began the story.
"The God of Fight ruled the land at one stage in history. He would allow anyone to challenge him and if they could defeat him then he would be banished to the Angkor shrine. But everyone that challenged would never return from the battling grounds to tell of his technique, every single person was killed." They looked at each other.
"One day, a mysterious person arrived in the town near to the Fight God's palace. Many of the warriors there could sense this person's power and felt that the downfall of the God of Fight was drawing nearer and so they evacuated the town. So no one ever knew what happened to that person. Some say however that the person contained a special gene that allowed it to beat the God of Fight and if he should be re-released from Angkor that he should seek all fighters and seek the gene. The mysterious Devil Gene."
"Do you think that he will ever be released?" Hilary asked nervously.
"My dear, I believe he has already been released. Everyone in this town fears this years King if the Fist tournament. He seeks all martial artists, he wants to obtain the blood of a Devil Gene, so he may become the all time powerful lord of the world," the stall owner said in barely a whisper.
"What makes you so sure?" Kai asked coldly. They all looked at him, he had his arms folded and eyes shut a smirk on his face.
"Have you not heard of the martial artists going missing all over the world, even Jun Kazama, wife of the great Kazuya has gone missing. Believed dead. Poor Jin, he had to go to his Grandfather Mishima," the stall owner said looking extremely mournful at the person's loss.
At two o'clock they arrived at the ferry terminal and waited to be boarded. The ferry was huge, one of the newest and biggest available on the market.
"All competitors and support crews of the Mishima King of The Fist tournament please board the ferry, any supporters are to wait for the two thirty ferry," a voice announced over the loudspeaker.
"Alright guys! Let's go!" Tyson said excitedly. He ran onto the ferry with Hilary close on his heels. Ray followed them but at a slower pace, Kai walked on with Gramps.
When they were on a soldier was walking around taking competitors names.
"Do you think Nanasi registered us?" Hilary asked anxiously.
"Sure dudes, why wouldn't she?" Gramps replied, although he was looking at the soldier nervously too. He had his Kendo stick with him and held it like a walking stick, leaning on it.
"Name?" the soldier asked eyeing Kai and Ray in particular. "You guys are just kids."
"What's your point?" Tyson retorted.
"The names Kai Hiwitari," Kai answered not moving from his position on the wall. It was true that they were by far the youngest there.
"I see, well then you are registered here, and I'm guessing you are Ray, Tyson, Hilary and the support crew consists of one entry," he said looking at Gramps.
"Yep! That's me dude," he said waving his stick.
"Right," the soldier said slowly, looking at Gramps strangely.
"Is Nanasi over there yet?" Tyson asked the soldier.
"I have no Nanasi registered on this list," the soldier replied and walked away.
"What? No Nanasi? What's going on?" Tyson exclaimed.
"I could ask the same question," Ray said.
"Cool it dudes, Nanasi probably registered under another name," Gramps said settling himself cross legged on the floor.
"He's right, I really don't think we need to worry about Nanasi," Kai said from his position against the wall.
"Yeah, but what if she was registered under Nanasi and Heihachi recognised her name and made something happen to her," Hilary replied in a worried tone.
"I highly doubt that as I saw her last night," Kai answered. The others looked at him strangely.
"We are now arriving at Mishima Island, please take all rubbish with you and I hope you enjoyed your journey," a female steward said over the speakers.
