The King of the Fist tournament begins
The next morning they were woken by hotel staff and then led to the stadium by Long and Uriko.
"So, do you guys know what happens?" Long asked.
"No, this is our first tournament," Ray replied.
"I know, but I thought Nanasi would have told you," Long replied.
"Yeah, what happens is the stadium has been split into four wings. A different pool will compete in another wing. Today they'll just be going through the pools," Uriko said as they walked through the hotel lobby.
"After each battle the table will be displayed in the pool and updated as competitors are knocked out. When it is the final two in each pool the pools combine into one and they compete in a main arena that Mishima himself watches," Long explained as they walked to the stadium in the sunlight.
"Who are you guys up against first?" Tyson asked eating a packet of chips as they walked.
"I'm against Ling," Uriko stated happily smiling again, revealing her fangs.
"I have to verse a man named Yee Naoi; I hear he's a nasty character. I'm not worried too much if I don't make it past the first round though. I hear the one I seek is in the city anyway," Long added shrugging.
"Hey! Its Chin caro," Tyson said about to run over, but Kai grabbed him by his shirt.
"You idiot, you're going to blow her cover," Kai hissed.
"What? Oh yeah, sorry bout that," Tyson said fixing his shirt. Chin caro nodded at Kai in thanks and then disappeared with Jin Kazama.
"Excuse me?" a voice said from behind the group. There was an administrator standing behind them. He bowed.
"Yes? What is it?" Kai demanded.
"Are you the Bladebreakers entry?" he asked.
"Too right my man, these dudes are the Bladebreakers, so what do you want?" Gramps said swinging his stick around.
"I am to take you to your pools as a guardian because you are not over 18," he said bowing again.
"It is alright, we can do it," Uriko said nodding towards Gramps and Long.
"Yes, but an official must be present as well, I am sorry for any inconvenience, my name is Michael Chan. Please follow me," he said walking past them.
"Are you apart of the Mishima group?" Long asked politely.
"Yes, Mr Mishima asked me to take care of all of you during the tournament. He wishes for the younger competitors to not be bullied while competing as many of the older competitors do not feel that the younger ones stand a chance," Michael replied smiling.
He led them inside the stadium. It was bright as the sunlight flowed in through the top.
"Hey, didn't this stadium have a roof before?" Tyson asked in surprise as they all looked up.
"Yes, Mr Mishima feels that it is more comfortable for a fighter if the surroundings are more natural, as you will find when you compete in the pools," Michael explained.
"Master Ray, you are in the same pool as Mr Long, Pool C," Michael said handing him a piece of paper.
"Uh oh," Ray said taking it. Long laughed.
"Oh don't be such a worry wart my little friend, it shall be an interesting battle if we meet," Long replied clapping him on the back. Ray smiled.
"Cool," he said high fiving him.
"Miss Hilary, you are in the same pool as Miss Uriko, Pool B," Hilary looked at Uriko with a smile.
"Way cool, hey don't think I'm going to go easy on you," Uriko said giving her a thumbs up.
"No way, wouldn't have it any other way," Hilary replied.
"Master Tyson is in Pool D with another under 18, Yukichi Isarugi," Michael said reading his list then handing a piece of paper to Tyson.
"Aw shucks, isn't that the kid with the huge bit beast?" Tyson asked, slightly disappointed.
"It is true that Master Yukichi is a powerful Beyblader, but in my own professional opinion is a weak fighter. Although I have not seen him for many months," Michael said with a frown. "Although I heard a rumour Mishima sent him for secret training to get his Mishima Karate and fighting style up to scratch."
"Okay, we get the point, which Pool am I in?" Kai asked.
"It seems Mishima thinks you can handle it with the big boys Kai," Gramps interrupted.
"It seems that way sir, Mr Mishima has placed you in Pool A," Michael frowned at his list. "He must be crazy though, in that one is Jin Kazama, his grandson."
"Jin is Mishima's grandson?" they all exclaimed in shock. Michael nodded.
"Well, lead the way Michael," Gramps said tapping him on the shoulder with his Kendo stick.
"Yes, of course Mr Granger," Michael replied and led them into the stadium and to their separate Pool arenas.
Kai wasn't the first one up to fight. He'd be a little while down the line. His fight wasn't due to start until about eleven.
"Hey kid, what you up to?" a huge blonde haired man in a green singlet and army combat pants asked him.
"That's none of your business," Kai replied coldly. He then noticed he had a little girl on his shoulder.
"Gee, sorry for asking. I'm Jack," he said offering his hand. The little girl jumped down and looked at Kai's face. "Hee hee," she began to giggle. "Funny face paint."
"Huh?" he was slightly shocked at first and then began to growl.
"Err. sorry about that," Jack said picking the little girl up. He hurried away with the little girl.
'Totally weird,' Kai thought to himself and then looked up at the screen in the stadium, it showed all four battles taking place. A cheer went up in one of the arenas.
"Come on Kai, let's go and see," a voice said from beside him. It was Alice, she was smiling brightly. "You don't have to stay at your arena you know?"
"Oh, right," he said and followed her to another arena.
"Are you in Pool A too?" Alice asked sitting in the stands of the Pool B arena.
"Yes, are you?" he asked watching the battle about to take place.
"No, I'm in Pool B. But Jin is in Pool A, good luck huh?" she gave a little laugh. "Looks like Uriko is up first, don't know who she's battling though."
It was true, Uriko was about to fight, she still had her school uniform on with the addition of fingerless gloves that was padded around the knuckles. Standing across from her was a small girl with black hair, a Chinese robe and short black pants.
"It's that girl, um. Ling Xiaoyu or something," Kai said remembering their conversation the night before.
"Oh, her. I heard about her, she came third or something the last tournament," Alice said thinking.
"Prepare for battle!" the referee shouted. Uriko pulled out her Beyblade, it was orange and brown. Ling took out her Beyblade which was blue and yellow. She placed it on the launcher attached to her arm.
'Wow, an arm launcher. I suppose it saves having a launcher in your hand that you're going to have to throw away,' Kai thought, gripping his own launcher.
"I hope I taught Uriko enough about Beyblading, she's only new to it and she doesn't have a Bit beast yet," Alice said thinking aloud.
"Doesn't really matter does it, if she can fight?" Kai replied.
"That's true, but she's had trouble fighting of late," Alice replied.
"Begin!" the referee shouted. They both launched, Uriko tucking her launcher into her school top. She then ran straight at Ling who did a handstand and went to spin kick Uriko. Uriko slid in, taking Ling's arms out from underneath her. She then turned to her blade.
"Get her!" Uriko shouted. Her blade left Ling's blade where it was and then fired it self at Ling. She ducked just in time.
"Don't let that blade get near me!" she commanded her own blade which fired itself at the orange blade, knocking it away.
Kai was starting to get bored, he looked up at the screen and then saw that Tyson was about to fight.
"I gotta go," he said hurrying off the stand.
"Okay, good luck Kai," Alice called still watching her sister.
'It's only ten o'clock, Tyson had better not take long, my fights in an hour," he ran around one side of the separating wall which suddenly began to vibrate. When he arrived around the other side he found Tyson had managed to ram his opponent into the wall.
"Oh yeah, come on Mr Policeman, meet my friend Dragoon!" Tyson said launching his blade at the man. The blade landed in front of him. "Dragoon, Phantom Hurricane attack!"
'Obviously this guys doesn't own a blade otherwise Tyson would already have had his out,' Kai sat down and watched. He didn't realise he was sitting next to Ray.
"Hey Kai, how's it going?" Ray asked looking away from the fight.
"Fine. How's Tyson doing?"
"Good considering, but I'd say he'd have this over in minute. This guy is pretty old, and he doesn't have a blade, so Tyson can use Dragoon to fight for him," Ray said as Dragoon slashed the man's front.
The man tried to dodge Dragoon's swipes but he miscalculated one and Dragoon connected well enough to send Lei Wulong into the wall again; knocking him out.
"Oh yeah, way to go Dragoon! One to us!" Tyson said as the crowd cheered. Gramps was jumping up and down waving his Kendo stick in the air.
"You go Tyson! Yeah, that's my little dude!" he shouted.
"That is totally embarrassing," Ray said cringing slightly. "How long till you fight?"
"Next, right after those two guys," Kai replied pointing at the screen. It was the huge blonde guy; Jack and a smaller guy. Jack was beating him to a pulp.
"How bout you?" Kai asked, not really caring as he got up and Ray followed.
"I've already been, it was actually pretty easy. I didn't even need to use Driger," Ray replied smiling as they walked down the corridor to the Pool A arena. "I guess because he was a wrestler his movements weren't nearly as fast as mine." Kai laughed a little.
A small man approached the pair as they walked into the arena back room.
"Which one of you two is Kai Hiwitari?" he asked in an old and tired voice.
"I am, what is it?" Kai asked coldly, his face emotionless.
"Your up next, go and wait in the corridor leading to the arena," he said waving him off. Kai shook hands with Ray who wished him good luck before going to find a seat.
As Kai walked into the corridor Jack came out, the little girl perched on his shoulder again.
"Hey, good luck kid, not that you'd probably need it against him," Jack said clapping him on the shoulder and almost sending him sprawling.
"Uh. thanks," Kai replied cringing. He looked across at his opponent; he was much taller than Kai and built alright. He had black hair and wore martial arts robes, a black belt holding his pants and showing his grade.
"You my opponent huh kid? Well good luck Kai," he said with a smirk. Kai frowned and turned to face the entrance to the arena. He listened carefully to the announcer.
"A new competitor and an older one, welcome Kai Hiwitari!" Kai walked out, his scarf blowing behind him. There were cheers from the crowd; many seemed to be girls who Kai had seen at Beyblade tournaments though.
'How did they know I was competing here?'
"And Baek Doo San!" he came charging out of the corridor, throwing punches and playing it up for the crowd. The girls booed him, but other than that everyone cheered politely for him.
"Hey kid! You ready to go down or what?" Baek shouted pointing at Kai.
"Hmph," Kai said sensing a session of trash talk from the guy. "What makes you so sure I'm the one going down? Tae Kwon Do is a weak form of martial arts and is only used by the weaker competitor. You should watch me and you might learn something." He smiled smugly, he knew he was getting under the guys skin.
"Ready? Begin!"
Baek launched himself at Kai, who neatly blocked the punch Baek was aiming at his face. Kai kicked out at him and hit him square in the stomach. Baek flew backwards but managed to land on his feet.
"What? Gone already? Stop wasting my time," Kai growled. Baek didn't like that; he threw a lightning fast punch at Kai, who wasn't quite facing him. Kai felt the punch hit but didn't go down.
"Is that all?" Kai asked. He grabbed Baek's arm, twisted it up into his back and then hammered his elbow into Baek's back. He cried out in pain as Kai kicked him into a wall. He slumped to the floor motionless, his arm mangled as it had been smashed to pieces.
"The winner is Kai Hiwitari!" Kai walked back down the corridor. In the corridor were two figures, one was a dark girl wearing a purple bikini top and purple long pants. The other had a hooded jumper on, with red combat pants.
"Hey, nice fight!" the dark girl said in a strong Brazilian accent. "Don't you think that was a great fight?" she asked the other fighter.
"Hmph, not particularly. Far too reckless to let him self get hit," Chin caro replied. He frowned and then pushed past the dark girl.
"That wasn't very nice, he's just a kid," she said.
"Yes, and also my student," Chin caro replied, her visor flashing as she turned into the light.
"Oh, really? Way cool. Oh that's us!" she ran out and performed a break dancing move.
Kai wasn't too happy about Chin caro's remark, but she was right. He came out of the back room to find the others waiting for him, minus Hilary.
"What do you three want?" he snarled.
"Gee, your happy about winning aren't you?" Tyson asked. He looked worried.
"Where's your girlfriend?" Kai asked snidely.
"She's not my girlfriend, but Michael took her to the medical room because she was knocked out by Henna and Lygon," Tyson replied quietly.
"Oh," Kai wasn't one for feeling crummy, but he did now. He didn't like the annoying girl, but she was one of the team and a good friend when she had to be.
"She's going to be fine though," Uriko said walking up to them. "I just came from getting my hand healed. They said she just needs to wake up and she should be fine. It seems Henna was able to get Lygon to break her fall a bit so there's no serious damage."
"Cool," Ray said as they walked back into the stand.
"Hey guys look! It's Chin caro!" Tyson shouted before Ray pinched him. The dark girl Christie was fighting her with a really unusual style.
"Is she. Break dancing?" Uriko asked in astonishment. Indeed she was moving about as if she was break dancing.
"Let's see what Dizzi has to say," Tyson suggested taking the lap top from Gramps.
"Her name is Christie Monteiro; she uses a style called Capoeria, a combination of Break dancing and martial arts. All I can say is she has some groovy moves on her," Dizzi said reading the profile.
"I'd have to agree with you on that one," Tyson said watching.
"It's funny that Chin caro hasn't taken her jumper off yet, or at least her hood," Uriko said as Chin caro continued to dodge all of Christie's attacks.
"It's quite strange that she doesn't attack," Long said sitting down next to Ray.
"Oh, hi Long. It is isn't it?" Ray replied. A second later, Chin caro had thrown Christie into a wall, and she didn't move or get up. The referee checked Christie and then announced Chin caro as the winner. She made her way to the corridor, but not before looking up into a camera that was focused on her above the corridor.
Elsewhere, in a dark room three figures sat in front of a wall of monitors.
"That one possesses great power," they said as the fight between Chin caro and Christie finished. A man with hair that shot up at either side of his head motioned to one of the men working in front of the screens.
"Who is that one?" he asked pointing to the one with red combat pants that was leaving the arena.
"His name is Chin caro, we know nothing of them," he answered reading his clip board.
"I see. And what of the children that are after their friends?" another asked.
"Nanasi is no where in sight, but Hilary has been beaten by Henna, but Ray Kon, Tyson Granger and Kai Hiwitari are still in the competition," he answered again reading his clip board.
"Good, good, our plan is in motion," the third remarked.
"Yes, we shall soon have all that we need," the first replied. Suddenly the room was filled with a buzz as the men in front of the screens began to panic.
"What is the problem?" the worker by the three men's side demanded.
"The camera above the corridor of arena 1 just went dead," one answered.
"What? How is that possible?"
"We don't know sir," another answered.
"Show me the footage before it went dead," the first head man ordered.
"Yes sir," they began to push buttons and the last images filtered onto the screen.
"Stop it there," he hissed. It froze as the fighter Chin caro looked up at the screen. Red eyes flashed. "It's not Jin is it?"
"No sir, Jin has entered under his name," one of the administrators replied.
"But it could be possible that that is the Fight God, or this person is being controlled by the Fight God sir," another piped up.
"Or it is Kazuya," the leader added to himself. "No matter, get that camera fixed!"
Phew, man I write too much. If chapters like this are too long for your liking, please feel free to let me know. I get a little carried away sometimes.
Luv all my reviewers! Krayon

"That one possesses great power," they said as the fight between Chin caro and Christie finished. A man with hair that shot up at either side of his head motioned to one of the men working in front of the screens.
"Who is that one?" he asked pointing to the one with red combat pants that was leaving the arena.
"His name is Chin caro, we know nothing of them," he answered reading his clip board.
"I see. And what of the children that are after their friends?" another asked.
"Nanasi is no where in sight, but Hilary has been beaten by Henna, but Ray Kon, Tyson Granger and Kai Hiwitari are still in the competition," he answered again reading his clip board.
"Good, good, our plan is in motion," the third remarked.
"Yes, we shall soon have all that we need," the first replied. Suddenly the room was filled with a buzz as the men in front of the screens began to panic.
"What is the problem?" the worker by the three men's side demanded.
"The camera above the corridor of arena 1 just went dead," one answered.
"What? How is that possible?"
"We don't know sir," another answered.
"Show me the footage before it went dead," the first head man ordered.
"Yes sir," they began to push buttons and the last images filtered onto the screen.
"Stop it there," he hissed. It froze as the fighter Chin caro looked up at the screen. Red eyes flashed. "It's not Jin is it?"
"No sir, Jin has entered under his name," one of the administrators replied.
"But it could be possible that that is the Fight God, or this person is being controlled by the Fight God sir," another piped up.
"Or it is Kazuya," the leader added to himself. "No matter, get that camera fixed!"
Phew, man I write too much. If chapters like this are too long for your liking, please feel free to let me know. I get a little carried away sometimes.
Luv all my reviewers! Krayon
