The thrill of defeat....

The train ride was relaxing, joe got rock an ice pack. 'Good job out there stony, i saw what ya did, it was pretty amazing' joe patted rock on the head 'haven't seen skills like that in a long while, especially for a kid so young.' Rock was happy joe had seen him play basketball and liked it, but why didn't he stop the fight when it started? Oh well as long as terry was there it was all ok. Rock got out his seat and went to look for terry. He wanted to feel safe, and he did when he was around terry. He overheard terry and andy in the food car, he opened the door and listened keeping out of sight.

'You can't be serious' andy told terry.

'I can and i am' terry replied.

'But terry your the best, and we will need you for our team...otherwise'

'haha, its ok andy i'll still be part of the team, i'll keep mai off your back'

'heh....' andy sighed

'but i don't care about winning anymore, i've got more important things to worry about'

'i don't belive this, terry you had the name "The Lone Wolf" for a reason'

'ya and i acomplished that reason...' terry stopped and looked distant for a moment.

'father is...'

'i know father is avenged, and since that has happened i don't need a reason to be strong anymore'

'well if you don't want to be the best, i still do..i'm dropping my hat at ever being better then you at your prime'

'hehe, thats good to hear...don't think i'm gonna go any easier on you when we spar though'

'good, but i'm not gonna let those punks beat us veterans anymore, i know joe feels the same way'

'i just want to have fun'

'as long as you are willing to do your best that's all i can ask for big bro'

'good, we're almost there' terry got up and started walking out. He ended up tripping over the hidden rock as he ran out to get terry's attention.

When they got to Master jubi's shrine they were welcomed by a scrawny old man dressed in a master's gi.

'well what have we here', the old man said while smoking his pipe with one hand and playing with his hair and mustache with his other 'andy, mai, joe, terry, and...who's this lil fella?'

terry answered 'this is rock'.

'nice to meet you' rock bowed.

'good to see a new generation of fighters is comin up in the ranks, haha you got a bit of a way to go kiddo' master jubi said, while noticing rock's aura. Rock did not reply, that comment made him remember the pain of being beaten up. 'Well shall we go to it!?' joe excitedly shouted out.

'Your on!' yelled andy back.

'I'll get some popcorn' said terry.

'I'm on drinks' said mai.

'i'm on.....' master jubi said as he grabbed mai's left breast as she walked by, and was kicked out one of his windows as his reward.

'Let's get it on!!!!' yelled joe as he charged andy. Andy stayed back and kept his hands up in a defense position. Joe jumped in the air and twisted 360' degrees while doing an ax kick toward andy's head with his GOLDEN HEEL attack. Andy easily dodged the attack and brought a kick to joe's head. Joe blocked it with his elbow, immediately andy torked his body downward and toward joe punching him in his open ribs. 'My aren't we the contortionist?' giggled joe. They both jumped back and charged each other, andy was moving faster with his elbow out and charging in his ZAN EI KAN. Joe saw this coming and stopped in his tracks 'got ya' he smiled as he punched uppercuts far away from andy. 'READY?!' he kneeled down and uppercutted one last time. The air around rock, terry, mai, and master jubi began to pick up. The trees in the surrouding area began to sway, and right in front of joe a tornado flew forward HURRICANE UPPER!!! 'AAAAHHHH' yelled andy as he was thrown in the air and spun round and round. 'Haha, gotcha' laughed joe putting his hands on his hips and bending over backwards with laughter. 'Like hell!!' yelled andy as his used his momentum to land his feet on a tree and push himself forward. Mai jumped up and cheered, 'yay it's andy's CHOU REPPA DAN!'Andy spun foward twice and and literally flew at joe with his legs fully extended

and a yellow lightning aura surrounding him. Joe instinctivly jumped toward Andy knee first and fire sorrounding his knee TIGER KICK!! The flash of light blinded rock, even when he shut his eyes he needed a second to re-adjust to his surroundings. When he looked up he saw andy standing with his legs together in a crater, but joe was nowhere to be seen. 'Uhhhh....that was a good one andy', spurted joe, who was underneath andy's feet.

'thanks joe' smiled andy.

'but not good enough'

'what?' Andy immediately looked down at joe who had his arms crossed across his chest. 'He blocked my CHO REPPA DAN!' Andy realized too late as joe brought his forehead to andy's crotch. Andy jumped backwards out of the crater. 'That's cheap joe!' yelled andy a little frightened that joe would try something like that. Joe jumped right after andy charging him and unleashed a barrage of punches. 'Hows bout a lil bit of my EXPLOSION TNT PUNCH'. 'Just fine' sneered andy, who let loose his HI SHO KEN. A small ball of blue energy hit joe in the face just enough to daze him for a second. SHO RU DAN yelled andy as he tightenend his hands and locked his fingers out, uppercutting joe with his open palm andy raised joe into the air. Andy followed up with another palm smash up, they were both about 10 feet in the air now. And the last one slammed joe downward into the ground again. Joe could not block any of the powerful blows andy had inflicted upon him and landed on the ground groaning. Andy was about to declare himself the victor when joe stood up, 'i got an idea' he said.

SCREW UPPER, joe did 500 uppercuts in 3 seconds into thin air. Andy saw this and stepped back with his right foot and brought his hands back as if he was going to clap RYUUSHI KEN! A red tornado about two stories tall rampaged its way toward andy. '1....2.....3...now!' counted andy as he let loose a blue energy ball the size of andy himself toward the tornado. The blue fireball and the red tornado clashed and stayed in the exact same spot as if trying to push the other one over. Andy and joe jumped toward each other, when out of nowhere two fans hit both of them in the forehead and the force of the fans knocked them into the tornado. Both Joe and Andy were sent up two stories being spun around 'ahhhh i think i'm gonna be sick' screamed joe amidst the spinning fire tornado. Andy remained silent trying to concentrate. 'What the hell are you doing!?' yelled joe looking at andy curled up into a ball. Andy glowed yellow and pushed out his arms and legs and his aura grew rapidly and dispersed the tornado. Unfortunately they were both almost at the top of the tornado and plummeted toward the ground. Joe got stuck in a tree and andy fell on his back in the crater he made.

'Sooo...ummm...who's the winner?' a confused rock added.

'I am!' yelled mai in her ninja outfit standing on master jubi's roof 'Yea i'm #1!'

'Damn you Mai', yelled joe who was stuck in a bunch of tree branches 15 feet from the ground. Andy just laughed but couldn't move.

'So who's next?' spurted out the confident Mai.
