Hey guys! I'm back! Thanx so much for the reviews, this fic has got me really excited! Anyway, the contests will begin in this chapter, as well as the stakes. I wonder who will win? This is to my reviewers:
TheWishOfNight: Thanx! I really try my hardest to write non-crappy stories for you guys! It's nice to see that you enjoy reading it!
Hwoarangsguardie: I know! I love Hwoarang! He's so cute! He and Julia make a great couple! If you like Hwoarang, then you should read Misao Yuy's Tekken Jr. It's hilarious!
HelloYellow: Yes I am a girl. Thanx for the review! I was already planning on bringing in Nina; however she won't be competing... She's a judge! Mwahahaha!
Ignes Fatui: It's great to know you like my fic! Thanx for the idea of Christie dressed as a cheerleader. I was going to make Ling a panda, but I needed a costume that was less bulky and would enable her to move around easily.
xInfernal: Yes, girls do kick ass! Thanx for the review! Keep reading!
Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken...I'm only a penniless writer whose only possession is her dear old laptop. The plot belongs to KrappKarmin.
Battle of the Sexes-HalloweenAll of the people surrounding Ling looked at her in wonder. They really wanted to know how such a small girl could produce such a large sound. Ling glared at Jin in anger. Her glare was so penetratingly angry, that one must reconsider the fact that glares can't kill. The loud noise was still echoing through the house, and two new figures stepped into the spotlight. "What is the cause of all the commotion?" Before them stood Kazuya Mishima, Jin's father. He was dressed as Satan. The young fighters immediately stopped talking. "Ummm... You see sir, Hwoarang here said that women were weaker than men and couldn't beat them at anything. We agreed to a bet." Kazuya nodded. An evil smirk appeared on his face and he suggested, "how about a contest. There will be four groups with one boy and one girl in each group. The groups will compete against each other. If a girl causes her group to lose, the boys will get a point, and if a boy causes his group to loose, the girls get a point. When a group wins, the person on the team who racks up the most points gets three points added to their sex's side. The side with the most points is declared the better sex." Ling looked over to her friends and saw them gleaming in anticipation. Ling suddenly thought of something and asked, "how do we know how many points we get?" Kazuya's smirk grew even larger as he replied, "there are going to be two judges, one male and one female. They'll decide the points awarded."
The six teens turned to each other and nodded. Each one of them were trying to find away to insure victory for their side. The battle of the Sexes had begun.
Thirty minutes later everything was set up. The party stuff had been set aside, and an ice rink had been set up, along with various other things, such as a copy of the jeopardy set and a stage. The other, non-important fighters were all sitting down in chairs, and they were acting as the audience. Suddenly, a random member of the Tekkenshu stepped on stage. Holding a microphone he announced, "ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Battle of the Sexes!" The audience roared, and the announcer continued. "Let's have a look at our contestants!" Jin, Ling, Hwoarang, Julia, Steve, Miharu, Eddie, and Christie joined the announcer on stage. The crowd applauded wildly. "And now," the announcer continued, "let's welcome the judges! Kazuya, Nina, come on out!" Kazuya and nina stepped out on stage. Nina was wearing a referee's outfit, and her cold eyes stared out at the audience. Kazuya took the mike from the random Tekkenshu person who scurried away. "Now for our first event, ice skating!"
As one, the four guys dropped their jaws. "No way in Hell," Hwoarang voiced, the boys' side nodding with him in agreement.
Meanwhile, on the girls' side... "Yay!" Ling exclaimed. "I love ice-skating!" The rest of the girls nodded in enthusiastic agreement.
Nina took the mike to explain the event. "The object of the game is to pin as many flags to the post as you can in the time limit. Each flag is a point. One person from each team will go individually. Extra points will be awarded for tricks. The team with the points at the end will win!" The teens nodded and walked over to their teammates. Jin and Ling made up the first team. They were wearing green bands on their wrists. Julia and Hwoarang made up the second team, and they had on purple bands. The next team was Christie and Eddie, and they had the red bands on their wrists. Last but not least was Steve and Miharu, and they wore blue bands.
The first person to go was Ling. She grabbed the bag containing the green flags and raced off. The other competitors gawked at her agility. She flitted though the air as she performed a black flip. Her leaps were amazingly graceful, and every twist or flip she performed was expertly executed. She pinned all her flags up, came back and got a second bag, and started on that one too. After two and a half minutes, Ling had pinned up 156 flags.
Kazuya pried the mike away from Nina to announce the results. "And with 156 flags, Ling has had quite a good start. She gained 100 bonus points for tricks. This means team green has 256 points! Next up is Hwoarang from the second team."
Hwoarang evidently did not want to go on the ice. He was grabbing on to the entranceway as Nina struggled to push him on to the ice. "No! Don't make me! I can't skate!" He screamed. The audience howled with laughter, and Nina exclaimed, "I don't care! Get on the ice!" With one final shove she sent him cascading over the ice. His arms were wildly flailing, and he dropped the flag bag. He ran into one of the poles he was supposed to be attaching flags to, and he fell on his butt onto the rink. The audience was red with laughter, and Hwoarang blushed as red as his hair. Needless to say, he didn't get many points.
Nina spoke into the mike, making his blunders public. "Hwoarang pinned 0 flags up and did 0 tricks; however, since the blundering idiot was so much fun to watch, I award him 5 points. Next up is Christie from team three."
Christie made her way onto the ice. She quickly headed around to all the poles, attaching her flags. She wasn't as speedy or graceful as Ling, but she did way better than Hwoarang. After she performance she made her way off the ice.
This time Kazuya announced the results. "Christie pinned up 97 flags. She also got 40 bonus points for tricks. Good job Christie! Next up is... Steve!"
Steve shakily made his way onto the rink, determined not to be as bad as Hwoarang. He edged himself along the rail, and pinned his flags onto the posts. He was very shaky, and he fell down three times, spilling some of his flags. At the end of his time he had pinned up 15 flags. As he tumbled off the ice Miharu asked him, "now who's the strongest sex?" He just growled.
Nina then climbed on to the stage to announce the winner... and the loser. "With 256 points, team blue is the winner. Ling Xiaoyu, come get your prize. Ling proudly walked on stage to get her golden medal that proclaimed, "Battle of the Sexes, Ice-skating 1st place." Ling burst out into tears of happiness, and all the women, including Miharu, Julia, and Christie, cheered for her. "Nina strolled over to the score board and wrote a giant 3 on it. "In last place is... team purple! Come on up, Hwoarang!" Hwoarang walked on stage and hid his face in embarrassment. "Since you caused your team to loose, the final score is women4, chauvinistic pigs-I mean men0." The women applauded joyfully as the men all glared at Hwoarang. This was going to be a long night...
The next event started almost immediately afterwards. "This game," Kazuya started, "is a game of brains. The contestants who didn't participate in the last event will join this one! Jin, Julia, Eddie, and Miharu! Come on up!" The four contestants dragged themselves up onto stage and in their places in the jeopardy setup. Miharu sighed. She wasn't very smart, and she never paid attention in school. She would probably lose this and the girls' side would lose a point.
"OK," Nina began, "first question. What are the three of the five fashion capitals of the world?" Miharu immediately got excited. She knew this! While everyone else was thinking, she banged the buzzer. "What is London, New York City, and Paris?" she answered. (AN: If you've never seen jeopardy, they answer their questions as questions beginning with 'What is' or 'what are'.) "That is correct," Nina responded. A giant score of 100 appeared on her screen. "OK, choose a question. The categories are, fashion, countries around the world, literature, Famous leaders, or famous inventions. What will you choose?" Without thinking, Miharu answered, "fashion for 200." Nina nodded and asked the question, "this popular magazine for teenagers name is an age." Miharu slammed her hand down on the buzzer. "What is Seventeen magazine?" she answered. "Correct," Nina replied. Miharu got the rest of the fashion questions right, and her score was 1,500. The only problem now was the fact that she didn't know the answers to the rest of the questions, but hopefully she wouldn't lose. It was Julia's turn to pick the subject.
"Countries around the world for 100," she said. Nina nodded. "this country has the largest population." Julia immediately slammed down her buzzer. "What is China?" she answered. "Correct," Nina replied. Julia then chose Countries around the world for 200. "This country is known for the giant wall that separated the Eastern and Western side"- Jin banged on his buzzer. "What is Berlin?" he answered. Nina glared at him, "correct." The battle went on like this, and at the end Julia was in the lead with 2800 points, Jin in second with 2000 points, Miharu in third with 1,500 points, and Eddie with 1200 points. The only question left was the daily double. It was in literature for 500. All the fighters decided how much to risk. Julia confidently risked 1500 points, Jin risked 1000 points, Steve risked it all, and Miharu knew she probably wasn't going to get it right, so she only risked 50 points.
"OK," Nina began, "the question is, this story is supposedly one of the first fictional works ever written on an archipelago country that doesn't speak a single parent tongue." All of the contestants were deep in thought. Julia tried to dissect the question She knew the country was Japan, and Japan's first fictional story was...She excitedly wrote down her answer. Miharu honestly didn't have a clue what was going on. She just decided to write down her favorite fairy tale. Eddie growled at the other contestants. He had no clue! Mad, h didn't write anything down. Finally, time was up, and Nina revealed the answer. "The answer should of been, 'What is Taketori Monogatari?" Their answers came up. Julia, Jin, and Miharu had all answered correctly. That left Julia as the winner! "Yay! Another point for the girls' side!" She proudly walked up to collect her prize. It was a small medal with a picture of a brain on it. It read, "Battle of the Sexes-Jeopardy. 1st place." Julia had unshed tears of pride in her eyes as the crowd chanted her name. Nina grinned both wickedly and victoriously at Kazuya and the boys. "Now who's the weaker sex?" she asked as the scoreboard flashed. It read girls8, boys0. The boys just glared at her.
Then Kazuya stood on stage. For someone whose team was losing pretty badly, he had a broad grin on his face. "The next and final event is very special. It's worth 7 points, but whichever side looses hands over two points to the opposite team. The next event is... the VIDEO GAME EVENT!" The boys cheered in glee, and Hwoarang fell to his knees in tears. "I always knew there was a god!" he exclaimed.
Nearby, Julia and Nina looked at each other horrified. They were both thinking, could this be the end of the girls Championship? It was going to be a long, hard, desperately fought last battle...
I know it was kind of stereotypical of me to make the guys seem better prepared than the girls, but you never know what might happen... Also, I'm a girl, and I kick my brother's ass at Tekken Tag, Tekken4, SSX, Tricky, SSX3, ect. I just think that this would be a lot funnier than some of the other things that were suggested.
