Battle of the Sexes-Halloween

The third challenge was made up of three parts. In the first part, the teams would play SSX Tricky. During the second round they would play Dragonball Z Budikai. The last round, all of the competitors would vote on their favorite game, and whichever game was chosen would be played.

The eight figures leaned forward in their bean bag chairs. Kazuya had a special eight-player PS2, and the competitors were very ready. In fact, it turned out that the girls didn't have it too bad after all. Both Ling and Miharu were excellent video gamers, and Christie assured them that Eddie wasn't as good as he thought he was. Finally, the game started. The eight of them hurried to pick their characters. Ling chose Kaori, the short Japanese girl with bouncy pigtails and a cheery disposition. Julia was unfamiliar with the game, but after much consideration she picked the spiky haired punk, Zoe. Miharu selected the Hispanic Marisol, and Christie chose the dynamic Seeyah.

Over on the boys' side, Hwoarang had wiped up his tears of happiness, and he selected psycho Psymon. Eddie chose Eddy, and Jin picked Brodi. Steve decided to pick Moby. Satisfied with their choices they entered the race.

The race was extremely grueling. Hwoarang immediately took the lead, but a horrible crash put him in last place. Eddie quickly took his place in front, but he was brutally shoved to the side by Christie. Unnoticed to the rest, a certain player took a short cut and took a large lead. Miharu eased pass Christie, only to be shoved backwards by Steve. He glared confidently at her, but his distraction caused Julia to go crashing into him. She had never played the game before, but she was doing pretty well. Through the chaos Jin managed to slide into fist. He was nearing the finish line, and with a final burst of speed, his character finished the race. He allowed a smile to grace his face, but then he saw his placement. Second! What!?!

"Yoohoo!" a voice cheerily called to him. He looked over to see Xiaoyu smiling at him. On her screen Kaori was standing with a huge sign that said first on it. Jin groaned.

"Just great," he muttered. "We have to at least get some points!" Unfortunately for them, Eddie finished last, and the score stood at girls' side8, boys' side 0. It was a complete disaster.

The next game was a disaster for the girls though. Eddie played as Cell and totally dominated the game, giving the boys their first win. All they had to do was win the next round. Then they would gain ten points for the win!

The last game was nearing. Ling walked up to vote and slipped in her favorite game. Julia was next. She had seen what Ling had wrote on her slip, and she decided she might as well choose that. After all, a game with only three letters couldn't be that hard to play. Miharu stepped up to the voting area and quickly slid her piece of paper in. She personally thought the game she picked was embarrassing, but she ad discovered it at an arcade and was very good at it. Christie stepped u next and put in her personal favorite game, DDR. After all, she loved to dance!

Next the boys placed their votes. Hwoarang chose the most popular game to ever come out on x-Box. Jin was next, and chose a game not many people would think he would enjoy, but Ling had showed it to him in an arcade and from that day on he was hooked on it! Steve was next, and he chose a game that had something to do with his profession. Eddie was last but not least, and he chose Dragonball Z Budikai! He rocked at that game!

Both Nina and Kazuya dumped out the slips of paper and counted through the entries. Finally, Nina took the mike and told them, "the final round will be DDR Extreme!"

"YES!" Christie exclaimed. She rocked at this game. Looking over at her stupefied boyfriend, she stuck a tongue out.

"OK, here are the rules. Each of you will play a song. At the end, bot sides' points (boys' and girls') will be averaged out. Whichever team has the highest point average wins!"

Christie was the first to play. She chose 'Max Unlimited' on heavy, and on options she doubled the speed and made the arrows invisible. Then the song started. As Christie moved her feet to the fast beat, she smiled. This was her secret. When it said two times the speed that just meant the arrows were going at two times the speed. You didn't have to move faster. As for the invisible arrows, she had played this song so many times she didn't need to see the arrows. Perfects were flashing by so often it was like they were a permanent sign. Her combo skyrocketed, and it was in the hundreds!

Eddie watched in awe as his girlfriend danced. The way she moved, the smile that was on her face, everything. Not one time had he seen her this happy when they were training. Dancing had to be her 'thing.' As the song ended Eddie saw that she had gotten a AAA. Wasn't that the highest score you could get?

Next up was Ling. She was really good at this game, so she went to heavy and chose 'Witch Doctor'. She upped the speed to three times, but she didn't do anything to the arrows. She danced easily on the pads, and she had mostly perfects with a few greats. Her pigtails bounced up and down as she continued to dance.

Jin watched as his girlfriend astounded the crowd. She looked so cute and happy up there, and for the first time, Jin realized how he had mistreated her. He had left her in Heihachi's clutches after both the third and fourth tournament like she was something easily expendable. Now was the time to prove he wasn't going to leave her again. When Ling got a AA, she was cheering ecstatically. Jin smiled at his girlfriend's peppiness. Just like her outfit suggested, she was an angel.

Next it was Hwoarang's turn. He cockily walked onto the stage and told the girls, "anything you can do, I can do better." He chose Sakura Revenge on heavy.

"Wait, Hwoarang, have you ever played the game before?" Miharu asked.

"No," Hwoarang responded. When Miharu heard that she burst out laughing.

The song started, and Hwoarang's eyes widened at the steps. He struggled to get all of them, and he was actually doing pretty well. This game was kind of fun!

Julia watched her arrogant boyfriend struggle with the steps. When he was struggling he actually looked pretty hot. She decided that she wouldn't be a moron like her boy-toy who was currently dancing. She was going to choose light. Not that she could actually dance in this dress... She used some bobby pins to keep the dress up above her knees so she could dance. She watched as her boyfriend screamed at the fact that he got a D. He was trying to break the machine. Julia smiled a bit. He could be so funny sometimes.

Jin shoved Hwoarang out of the way and took his place on stage. He had a secret. He was spectacular at this game! Not as good as Christie, but he was way better than his redheaded comrade. He looked through the songs and picked the perfect one. Kakumei on heavy. He changed it to twice the speed and begun. He tried not to notice the shocked faces of the crowd as he hit every step with either a perfect or great.

Ling watched in shock as her boyfriend dominated the song. She had shown it to him once, and he had fallen over after the first few steps. How?!? Then it hit her. He had been practicing behind her back. She laughed. She'd have to get him back for playing her favorite game without her! He got a AA, and he slid off the stage with a smug look on his normally cold face. Ling just shook her head.

Steve was next, and he chose an easy song, La Copa de La Vida. He had never played the song before, and unlike Hwoarang he didn't pride himself on his legs. He struggled throughout the song, but what got him is the fact that his girlfriend could probably play much better than him.

Miharu watched her boyfriend with amusement. He was really struggling, and Miharu would bet anything that he had voted for some kickboxing game. She shook her head. Guys were so predictable, but her guy was predictable in a cute way. She always knew what would make him mad and what would make him happy, and he was always there for her. She sighed in remembrance. Steve pulled through with a C, and despite herself Miharu cheered for him.

Julia was next, and she had never played before. She was nervous, but she knew all she had to do was pass and her team would most likely win, thanks to Ling and Christie. Searching for a slower song, she chose Ordinary World on light. She glided through her steps, missing a few, but she was pretty good for a beginner. She loved the song, and the game was kind of fun. Near the end of the song she stumbled a bit, and fell over. Her hand hit the back arrow, and, amazingly enough that was the last step.

Hwoarang smiled at his girlfriend's attempts to play DDR. Knowing her, she probably was reading books instead of playing video games, and she had never played this before. He let a broad grin grace his face when she toppled over. Amazingly enough, she happened to hit the last step. He laughed out loud at this. Suddenly, it didn't matter which side won. This was all for fun.

Eddie was the last guy to go. He would need a miracle to tie the score, but unfortunately for the girls he did. He played Sandstorm on heavy at three times the speed with invisible arrows! With a broad smirk on his face he easily got a AAA.

Christie gaped at him. She thought that Eddie hated dancing! How could he tie her score? Then again, he looked pretty hot dancing up there. She should get him to dance with her. Suddenly she looked et the screen. Because of Eddie's high score the guys were beating the girls. The only way for them to win was for Miharu to get a C on heavy!

Miharu gulped as she stepped onto the stage. She was pretty good, but she wasn't ready for heavy yet. She looked through the songs before finding her favorite one. It boosted her confidence and it would be the perfect 'girls rock!' song. The song was, 'We are the Champions'. Miharu stepped through the song, making some mistakes. The song was really hard, but she had to win! She couldn't let her friends down. Filled with renewed determination Miharu kept on going.

Steve watched Miharu with a grin. She was struggling, but she was definitely better than him. And the song was a perfect 'rub it in your face' song. He sighed. Hs girlfriend always had known how to rub it in.

When the song ended they all awaited the results. It seemed to take forever. The grade spinner slowly turned, showing everything from D's to AAA's. The audience was silent as they watched the event that would determine the game. Slowly the score came up on the board, and Miharu leapt up and down in joy. She had gotten a B! The girls' side had won!

Nina grabbed the microphone from Kazuya's pale face and announced, "in a shocking victory of 18 to –2, the girls win!" All female side of the audience went wild as Ling, Julia, Miharu, and Christie were all awarded giant trophies that proclaimed "The Strongest Sex".

Meanwhile, Kazuya was yelling at the boys. "It was a VIDEO GAME CONTEST! HOW COULD BOYS LOSE AT A VIDEO GAME CONTEST! IT'S SHAMEFUL! NOW THE WOMEN THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US!" Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted his yelling.

"Hello gentlemen," the random Tekken dude from before greeted. "Kazuya, I believe I owe you some money. I really thought the boys would win, but you were right in placing your money on the girls' side!"

Suddenly the boys glared at Kazuya. "Haha, guys. It was jus a joke. Honestly, I was rooting for you the entire time! Really!" He chuckled innocently, but it was no use.

"Get him!" Hwoarang screamed, and as one the boys launched themselves at Kazuya and proceeded to beat the shit out of him.

Nearby the girls were telling dumb men jokes. "How do you get a one-armed man out of a tree?" Nina asked. The girls shrugged. "You wave, and he'll wave back!"

The girls howled with laughter as Nina continued her jokes. "One day two men and a woman were hanging from a rope off the side of a cliff. The helicopter came, but it could only lift three of them. The woman made a brave speech on how she was going to let go to save her comrades. The men were so happy they let go of the rope to clap!"

Suddenly the sound of people beating the shit out of each other reached their ears and they saw a bloody, unconscious, Kazuya lying on the floor twitching. They all stared at the four boys who were walking towards them confused. Jin pushed Hwoarang up to them and said, "I believe you have something to say to them."

Hwoarang growled and muttered something under his breath.

"What was that?" Miharu asked, " didn't hear anything.

Hwoarang glared at her before practically yelling, "I'm sorry I said girls are weaker than boys."

Julia nodded her head in forgiveness. Nina sensed the mood and excused herself, leaving the eight of them in awkward silence. Then Ling leap forward and jumped into Jin's arms.

"Jinny," she said, looking up at him. "I didn't know you could play DDR. How come you never told me?" This seemed to break the tension, and soon the couples were going off together, The girls carelessly left their trophies and medallions behind. They really didn't care about the competition anymore. After all, it didn't really matter who was better, because to them the person they were with was perfect.
