Dragonball Reversal: Chapter 2- Death and Honor come a Knockin

"Dis has got to work, it worked da last time I used it. I just gotta dis wire to dat wire...and Boom! I got des explosives armed. I just got to wait for dos two clowns and I get paid."

The myserious man sets the two wires together, then twists them. "Ah hear da ticking, dat means its workin...AHA dey're in pasition!" He presses down on the plunger, and watches the fuse wind around, his eyes growing wider at each inch it covers...leading to a spot behind him where the bombs sitting, "Ah no." THOOOOM! He gets sent flying.

Meanwhile, in the car...

"So Xav, you sure you know how to drive this thing?"

"Yeah no sweat Kor." Whump whump! "Must've been a pothole."

"Looked like some guy to me, you just ran over something Xav."

"If we keep driving we won't have to deal with the paperwork. IT WAS A POTHOLE!"

"Xav. Turn around, that guy could be hurt really bad."

"Xav! Turn around!"

"...fine...they might be able to track us with the tire prints anyways if he's dead."

Xavrain then wheels the car around and drives towards the man standing in the road. "Hey look he's standing!"

"Xav! slow down!" Whump whump!

He then screeches the car to a halt, and jumps out of the car, turning it back to a capsule as korale gets out, then kneels down at the guy. "I think if he wasn't dead, he is now, there's no pulse."

"Aww damnit Xav! Look what you've done, you killed the guy!"

"Would you shut up you little fairy? So he's dead! Big deal. I'll just have to remove any evidence."

"'Ere, take dis as evidence, Ha haha!" The tall man in the red tophat rolls over then blows a powder into the air, and takes off upwind. Xavrain and Korale sneeze a couple times and then Xavrain looks up, "Aren't you supposed to like...make your getaway with that?" asked Xavrain, while Korale sneezes again.

"'Dat's death powder! You be dyin here in about...wait a second, you bot' should be dead!" He fumbles around with the bag and then reads the label, "Death powder: Kills in seconds! ...Dats da last time I buy at a novelty shop." He tosses the bag behind him, sending the contents floating past him, he sniffs it in, "Dam mon, I'm gettin sleepy..." He then falls over, and the powder blows over Xavrain and Korale, both of them sneezing repeatedly.

"Arg, the stuff smells bad I know that...but I don't feel anything..."

"I'm getting fed up with this guy, myself, Kor...we should've never stopped."

"It was the right thing to do, Xav, and you know it."

"I'm a theif. My life is based on everything wrong. Now lets get the heck outta here. Even if he gets up I don't wanna be here."

Xav...Xavrain!...AHA so 'dis IS da right guys. Dread, you da mon now.

Xavrain threw out the capsule for the car again, and they jumped in, driving off. Though as they were leaving, The tall man got up rather quickly, almost with a jump, and started sprinting after the car.

"Well I'll be...hey look, Kor, he's chasing us."

"Wow! He sure can run uhh...Xav! He's catching up!"

Xavrain hit the gas and started trailing dust kicked up from the road, as did Dread. Though Dread started trailing, he suddenly did a wild hop, and landed on the car.

"Thought yah could get away didja, mon? I never leave a job undone." Dread then ripped the roof asunder and threw it to the side of the ground.

"WHO ARE YOU!" Yelled Xavrain at the top of his lungs, "AND WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING MY CAR!"

"Aye mon, you know it is I, Death, yours to tell da truth, now come wit me peacefully and no harm will come to yah pal."

Xavrain then let out every curse word in the book, and leapt out of the car, rolling on the side of the road as the car did the same through the center, Korale safely pulled out with Xavrain.

"Hey what the heck, Xav, warn me before you do something like that!"

"I did that to get that guy stuck up in maybe a bit of twisted metal from the wreck."

"Sorry, mon, I don die dat easily." Dread was standing over them, dusting off his hat then replacing it. "So it be a fight yah want, I'll give yah a fight."

Xavrain and Korale both jump up and put their fists forward, Dread doing the same. "Okay, mon eat some of dis fist!"

Dread threw a heavy right, then stopped halway and crouched immediately into a foot sweep, then jumped up and threw another bag of dust on Xavrain and Korale.

"Ow damn! My eyes are burning!" yelled Xavrain as Korale got up, blinking, then meeting Dread's jump midair with an uppercut, then an axehandle, sending him to the ground, Korale soon following.

"Xavrain...You be dyin as soon as I get to yah, doncha worry, I win. I always win." Dread was standing there to meet Korale as he landed, throwing him a similar

axehandle that he had recieved, though closer to the ground, smashing Korale hard enough to split the concrete. "Easy Mon, now it be your turn." Dread stepped over

Korale, and stood over Xavrain, who was rubbing his eyes still from the dust. Though seemingly defenseless, Xavrain dashed backward, being able to at least see Dread's

shadow, he attempted to crack a blow at him, punching only a blur, Dread picked Xavrain up from behind and lifted him over his head, and slammed him in a full nelson,

cracking the cement similar to the way he had done Korale. Korale was now behind Dread, and jumped up behind and grabbed Dread at his shoulders, taking him up the rest

of the jump and swung him into the ground, Dread almost landing like a cat, he started laughing, "You be dead now, Xavrain!" He held up a piece of green cloak and tied it

around a white doll, and said some strange incantations. Xavrain was standing now, stretching his back, then cracking his neck. "Dis be a voodoo doll, mon." He pulled out

a jeweled knife, which caught Xavrain's eye almost instantly. "I slice off the head, you die, 'ere let me show yah." Dread then prodded at the stomach with the knife, Xavrain

stepping closer to take a look, almost like a child in a toy store. "You feelin anytin' yet?"

"No."

Dread prodded more. "Wat about now?"

"No." Xavrain closed in, nearly drooling at the sight of the gold lining on the knife.

Dread saw him closing in and decided to end it, "Okay mon, dats far enough." He then attempted to slice the head from the doll, and he couldn't slice through, "Damn, I knew I shoulda sharpened this t'ing regularly, its as dull as a rock!" He then threw the doll behind him and nearly put away the knife before Xavrain snatched at it.

"Mon, don' you be touchin me knife now."

"Its so...coooolll." Xavrain tugged at it.

"Aye, I know its a nice knife, it be a family heirloom, now 'ands off, mon."

As Dread and Xavrain played tug of war with the knife, Korale was in mid jump with a kick, about to knock Dread's block off. Korale landed the kick, knocking Dread to the ground and giving Xavrain the win to the tug of war, Dread adjusting his tophat, which never seemed to come off the full time, and standing up with a very very unhappy look on his face. Xavrain ran his finger down the knife's edge, then dashed it along the pavement to sharpen it, and readied to fight with the knife, angering Dread that much more.

"Mon. I'm sick and tired of playin' games mon, I need dat money, and yah gonna die now, I says its time, mon, its time." Dread then dashed forward, landing an uppercut, as Xavrain kicked him in the gut, Dread then latching onto Xavrain whilst he was in midair, and slamming him to the ground, Xavrain using the momentum to kick his feet into Dread's chest, throwing Dread over behind him as he leapt back up, Dread wheeled around, and charged for another blow, Xavrain flashed around the knife some swirling it almost to where you could only see the flash, and when Dread met Xavrain, there was the knife buried deeply in Dread's chest. "Here's your knife back, nice and sharpened, hope you dont mind that I'm not dying today."

Dread looked up from the knife with a cool, calm expression, "Aye an' I hope yah don' mind that I'm not dyin tahday either." He then pulled the knife from the center of his chest, and put it away snugly where he got it, "But pahaps tahday wasnt yah day, eithe way, yah's gonna die by my hand, mon." He threw down a flashing powder, vanishing entirely, though, in the distance there was a dust trail.

"Dangit, that idiot wrecked our car!" Yelled Xavrain.

"Ummmm Xav...didn't you wreck it by jumping out of it causing it to spin out of control?" Asked Korale.

"Shutup." Exclaimed Xavrain.

They both continued their journey on foot, they walked along the dirt road, and over a few hills. They kept walking until Korale tripped over something.

He looked down to see a turtle.

"Wow didn't see you there little guy."

"Korale! Quit messing around we have to get to Master Roshi's." Screamed Xavrain.

"Can you help me? Asked the turtle.

"WHAA? A TALKING TURTLE? How? What? When?" Shouted Xavrain.

"It's ok Xavrain maybe he needs our help." Said Korale.

"In fact I do, some time ago I was seperated from my Master, I just need to get back to the beach, only problem is I don't know where the beach is." Said the turtle.

"Don't even Korale." Said Xavrain.

"Oh come on Xav we are heading that way anyway what could it hurt?"

"Everything...but ok I guess. Why do I even listen to you?" Said Xavrain.

"Yes!" Yelled Korale as he picked up the turtle running down the road.

"Wait! Wait for me!" Yelled Xavrain.

Xavrain caught up to Korale as they kept running down the winding road. They continued down the road for several days.

"It can't be to much further can it?" Said Korale.

"I don't think it is any closer than when you asked five minutes ago Kor it's not like its just over that hill." Said Xavrain.

Korale immediatly dropped his turtle friend and finished his hike over the hill. What he saw was endless miles of water in front of him.

"Umm...Xav I think we made it to the beach." Said Korale.

"What? I said it's not like it's suppose to be over that hill." Said Xavrain as he pushed the turtle up the rest of the hill.

"Oh thank you both of you! I can finally get back to my master...but how can I reward you? Oh I know I'll just have him meet you and give you the reward himself!" Said the Turtle.

"Oh that's uh ok you don't have..." Said Korale.

"Wait! you mean some kind of reward? Asked Xavrain. "If it's a reward I'd be glad to meet him."

"Ok wait here, I'll be back with my master!"

"Hurry back! Yelled Korale as the turtle started his journey through the water.

"He better...I want to train under Master Roshi, and beat Ryu." Whispered Xavrain.

Several hours later a small figure could be seen coming into view. "Hey something is finally coming this way!" Yelled Korale.

"Finally, any longer and I would of killed myself." Said Xavrain as he pushed himself off the ground.

The figure grew larger, and larger eventually landing on the beach where Korale and Xavrain both walked up to meet whoever this mysterious man was. The turtle that they had helped was beneath the man.

"Hi Turtle!" Said Korale

"No wonder he 'Got Lost' I would too if I had some guy riding on my back." Smirked Xavrain.

"What was that youngin?" Said the man.

"Nuttin."

"Really? I thought you said something Xav." Korale said sarcastically.

The old man hopped off his turtle, and introduced himself.

"Hello I am Master Roshi."

"YOU'RE MASTER ROSHI!" Yelled Xavrain. You look more like an old geezer with a hernia."

"HEY! I'll have you know back in my day I was the strongest man on the earth." Screamed Master Roshi.

"Whatever."

"Ah Korale, nice to see you again, still looking for the Dragonballs? I don't have one anymore if you are. Might want to check Ox king's castle."

"No we are here to train under you!"

"Wait just a dang second here! Ok I thought maybe you would of met Chi Chi in town one day or something but now that I think about it how do you know these people?"Asked Xavrain.

Korale continued to chat with Roshi and Xavrain about his past battles...(but that's a tale for another day and age...)

Roshi finally stopped the conversation with the question. "So why do you two want to train under me?"

"We want to enter the tournement Roshi." Said Xavrain.

"Ya! I want a chance to fight the great Ryu!" Said Korale while striking a slight embarassing pose.

"Fine I will train you two...But only because Ryu has gotten a big head and used his skills for everything I told him not to use them for well almost...And if you bring me Dirty magazines!"

Master Roshi pulled out a capsule and threw it. The capsule bursted revealing a hover car.

"Heh never leave the island without it ehehehe" Said Master Roshi letting out a crazy old laugh.

Xavrain looked over at Korale, all Korale could do was shrug as they both hopped in the car. Master Roshi hopped on the very back of the car and pointed in the direction of the island.

"Onward to training!" Said Master Roshi. "And Tons of babes in those magazines." He thought as they continued toward the island.

They arrived at the rather...small island, Xavrain getting more and more stubborn and snappy the more he saw...

"OK! WE are supposed to train HERE!" Xavrain was about to explode.

"Well, we weren't going to start training right away, but-" Xavrain cuts him off

"Knowing Ryu, he'd have at least demanded better, cmon old man, I'm starting to think you aren't Master Roshi!"

Roshi then stood before Xavrain, with his brows crossed and peered over his glasses, emblazening the discontent straight into Xavrain's mind.

"Young man. If you were with anyone but Korale, I wouldn't have any patience with you. Ryu. Ryu was a very obedient student when I taught him, I don't quite know what you know of him, but he had -The best darn dirty magazines ever- he had much appreciation for me, and NEVER EVER talked to me like you are now."

"We must be talking about a different Ryu..."

Roshi then began powering up... "I'll show you 'old man', boy, prepare to fight, this 'old man' still has some skill left."

Xavrain tipped over to Korale "What's he doing?"

"About to kick your ass."

"Not if I can-" Xavrain cut off just as Roshi immediately booted him in the ass, sending Xavrain into the water.

"SWIM TO SHORE AND BRING BACK THE DIRTY MAGAZINES I TOLD YOU TO GET!"

"WHAT KIND YOU WANT!"

"YOU DAMN WELL BETTER KNOW OR NO ONE'S GETTING TRAINED!"

"Aw man, now I gotta wait for stupid ol' Xav to get back."

"Nonsense, just don't tell him I taught you anything."

"Serious? All Right! You're the awesomest!"

"Only because you keep your mouth shut...by the way...Ryu wasn't THAT good of a student...I was trying to shut him up."

Xavrain swam for what was hours till he reached what was a seaside town, and as quickly as he climbed out of the water, he went straight into town, drudgeing watery footprints and catching all too much attention...must have been the seaweed.

"Excuse me sir?"

"Yes sir, what can I get for you?"

"I want a few artistic censorship magazines, you got em?"

"Sir...not only does that only run in the big city, WE DONT SELL THOSE THINGS HERE!"

Xavrain was immediately booted out of the library.

"Man! So where DID Ryu fill his bottom drawer at?" Xavrain kicked around the sand on the sidewalk, "That means I'll have to go to the nearest city...DARN!"

"998 , 999 , 1000. Ok all done with that Master Roshi!"

Master Roshi sat there stunned, Korale hadn't even broken a sweat. He had just done 1000 push ups and he acted normal.

"Ok Korale now I want you to run as fast as you can around my island for 3 hours."

"...3 hours? That seems...extreme doesn't it?"

"Dangit Korale, DO YOU WANT ME TO TRAIN YOU OR NOT!"

"Ok Ok." Korale started on his long run.

"Now its time for my special time in front of the t.v."

Xavrain had finally made it to his destination, East city. He started to enter the nearest store when a familiar voice called his name.

"Funny meet'n you here mon, and alone, where be your little friend."

Xavrain spun around as the dark stranger moved forward.

Xavrain couldn't stay awake all of a sudden.

"Dangit, why am I so tir..."

Xavrain collapsed, and the stranger began to laugh.

"Ha ha ha, mon dat was the easiest fight, I've ever fought."

The man threw a capsule and a hovercar appeared. He loaded Xavrain up, and drove off.

Korale had finished his running, and shouted for Master Roshi.

"Hold on I'm coming." Roshi yelled back as he busted through the door.

Korale took deep breaths.

Roshi noticed the moat Korale had built from his running.

"Master, I'm hungry lets eat!" Shouted Korale

"Ok I guess we can take a break." said Roshi heading back into his small house.

"I don't understand how are you so...so..."

"So strong? Is that what you mean you pitiful human, and to think you're the strongest in the area! HA!" Said Kakorott

"You...You're not human!"

"Correct."

Kakorott walked up to the man, holding up his hand.

The man opened his eyes up wide, as he saw a strange red glow appear in Kakorotts hand.

A blast flew from his hand, removing the mans head.

"Hahahaha, another one down, I wonder if there's any real challenge here on this pathetic planet."

Kakorott laughed again before flying off.

Korale stacked up his last bowl of rice, rubbin his stomach and licking his lips.

Master Roshi could only stare in disbelief as Korale stood up and stretched.

"Let's get started again Master!" Yelled Korale as he rushed outside.

Roshi followed him "This boy will grow to be a strong warrior...I wonder if he has the ability to learn the Kamehameha wave?"

"Korale, I want you to do as I do ok, I am teaching you a very important thing here."

Korale watched with intent as Roshi took his form.

Roshi bent his legs, pulling his hands to one side, he started saying Ka Me.. Ha- Me...HA!

A blue light left Roshi's hands and zoomed over the water making waves crash as it did.

"Now Korale I want you to try it, don't get mad if you don't get it the first time, it took me fifty years to learn that."

"Korale copied the post Master Roshi performed, and bent his knees, cupping his hands to one side as he started saying "Ka Me... Ha- Me...HA!"

Korale held his hands out, as nothing happened.

"Well Korale..." Said Roshi stepping towards him, "Looks like it'll take you..."

Roshi paused as a steady blue light errupted from Korales hands flying over the water.

Roshi was amazed yet again by Korales progress over the short day.

"How was that?" Asked Korale.

"...Enough for today, get some rest...tommorow I'll teach you martial arts..." said Roshi.

Korale went inside, Roshi stood on the same place he was when Korale unleashed his Kamehameha Wave.

"He...He...performed it as if...it were nothing..."

Korale hopped into his bed, and closed his eyes, wondering how tomorrow's training would go.

Korale grew as he trained under Roshi, learning new techniques, his speed grew as well, and he was in better shape than before. Xavrain's whereabouts are still unknown, as a great evil grows in power...and is searching for the dragonballs...

... Three months later.

Korale finished his warmup and prepared himself for his morning pushups.

"How many do you think I can do today Master Roshi? I did 4000 just yesterday."

"Calm down Korale, just do your pushups, we leave for the tournement soon."

"Yes, sir."

Korale finished his pushups, and ran inside to eat breakfast, After he was done Roshi called him outside.

"Korale, you have been the best student I have ever taught...I would like you to wear this at this tournement for completing your training here."

Roshi held up an orange costume with a white circle on the back and black calligraphy.

He instantly grabbed it and ran back inside to put it on. Korale came back outside in his new uniform.

"This is great it's light, yet durable!"

"Glad you like it...Lets get goin to the HOT BABE...errr Tournement!" Shouted Roshi as he threw out a capsule waving for Korale to get in.

Korale jumped in, and Roshi acceralerated and zoomed over the water toward the airport.

Roshi and Korale, arrived at the airport. After they boarded the plane and it took off, Roshi had his hands full keeping Korale out of the kitchen.

They finally landed at the island the tournement was being held at.

Staring at the gates with joy and disbelief, Roshi could only wonder what happened to that wisecracking kid who he had sent to get the magazines. Roshi only thought to himself how that time training Korale would have been fifty times as better had he those...err well lets get on with it...

"Well, Korale? How does it feel to know you'll be fighting in front of all these people?" asked Roshi.

"I'm kinda nervous...but I know i'll do good, I'll make Ryu proud!" Korale smiled as he marched into the gates of the greatest thing he had ever known.

(elsewhere in the tournament sign-up area)

"Sorry, kid, I don't care how in trouble your family is you have to HAVE money to WIN money!" Shouted the man taking the entrance fees.

"But I had spent all my money getting here, Sir...I did not know it would cost this much to get in when I started my journey."

The man in line behind the shadowed ghost kid pulled a bulging coin purse out of his cloak and looked at it as if might be a better use to give to the kid rather than buy himself a buffet before the tournament.

"Yo. Here kid. I dunno if you can beat me in there, but if yah can, you deserve the money to go to...your sickly family or whatever..." said the man in the green cloak, "By the way, here's my entry fee as well...stuff it somewhere useful why dontcha?"

The Man behind the desk coughed and gave the two their tickets and they proceeded to the strength testing area.

"I have to thank you again Mr...Sir. Whether or not I win, I will honor you so much for this, because you gave me a chance-"

the shadow kid was interrupted.

"No problem kid...say whats your name so I know to give yah a break when we fight?"

"Mimic, Sir. Yours is?"

"Xavrain, my good friends call me Xave."

"Thank you very much Mr. Xavrain!"

"Xavrain! Yo! Xav! You totally ditched us back at Roshi's! You missed all the training!" Yelled Korale from across the crowd.

Xavrain pushed his way over to Korale, who was standing next to Roshi. "I suppose you didn't even get my magazines...did you!" asked Roshi quietly, leaning over Xavrain's ear.

"Oh but I did...the best of the best for...well nothing but uh heh, here. This is for training Korale at least." Xavrain handed over the magazines in the middle of a few political ones.

"AH! so those months weren't a loss after all!" Roshi leaned over to Xavrain "These better be good."

Xavrain simply laughed, and they headed over to the elimination tryouts.

Xavrain and Korale mastered their way through the tryouts, while Ryu, Mimic and several other fighters held their own as well.

The Preliminaries took a very short time, and then proceeded to where they made matchups, everyone went to draw a number..

"Alright! I'm number one baby! Wooh!" Yelled Xavrain

A man named Jackie Chun drew a five, a three eyed man in green pants drew a seven, a seasoned fighter in blue drew a nine,

Ryu stepped up and drew his number...nineteen, a samurai in an orange gi drew a thirteen..."Thirteen! Nooo! I can't get thirteen! I'll lose!" Yelled Yajirobe. A tall man in a red Trenchcoat drew a three, and a smile could be seen under his hat.

Korale stepped up and drew his number...number eleven, he seemed pretty content with it, and finally, the short Mimic drew his number, fifteen, and smiled warmly...accepting the number as his own. and thus the announcer moved the tournament on to the first match...Xavrain versus Giran!

"cough A dragon? DRAGON! when were dragons allowed to enter?" Cowered Xavrain

"When we were able to pay the entrance fees, you twit." Giran said as he spit to the side.

"Oh hey, you're not so big...I took out a guy three times as fat as you..."

"Dweeb." spouted Giran as the announcer broke their argument to start the fight.

Xavrain then quickly dashed to the side as Giran heaved towards him when the announcer yelled fight...Xavrain threw a quick kick into his stomach, Giran holding his breath and feeling a bit of pain, but then quickly grabbing his foot and attempting to fling Xavrain off the side of the ring, though catching himself Giran quickly yelled out some cheesy name for a move and spat a pink substance onto Xavrain, holding him in place at the edge of the ring.

"Arg! If I weren't an escape artist I'd say this were the end for me...kinda funny though...wait this stuff..." He struggles, "Is really...sticky!"

Giran walked over to him and picked him up, "End of the road, sucker!" and laughed menacingly as he was about to throw him off the ring.

"No...one...calls...me...a SUCKER!" Xavrain yelled at the top of his lungs and bit one of Giran's wrists, causing Giran to drop him, barely on the edge of the ring. Xavrain then, by that time the ooze had dried, slipped free of his cloak and kicked the gum off the side of the ring. "Lets hope you can't do that more than once...hehehehe." Giran now lost on what to do next, entered a ready battle stance and blinked. Xavrain then holding Giran above him as he had opened his eyes, hurls him from the side of the ring, as Giran had failed to do moments ago.

Xavrain had won the match and the Tounament tally was updated...and thus it moved on to the next match...the tall man in red versus someone who was beginning to have doubts about being there...

Korale stepped into the ring, sweat trickled down his face as he warmed up.

Another man stepped into the ring, he was tall and wide.

The announcer stepped in and shouted, "Are you ready for the next match in the tournement! It's Korale the young newcomer vs. Bacterian the smelly giant.

The crowd errupted, and Korale looked around nervously. The announcer started the match, and Korale looked over at Bacterian.

Korale quickly plugged his nose, the smell was awful.

"AH! Man you need to take a bath!" Yelled Korale from across the ring.

"Gyahahaha." Replied Bacterian.

The Ogre of a man dashed and chased Korale around the ring for several seconds. Korale finally held his breath and turned around.

Bacterian kept coming, Korale spun letting his leg fly out, and kicked bacterian in the face sending him flying across the ring. Korale quickly jumped high in the air, and flipped.

Bacterian stood up and looked in the air, Korale pulled lifted his foot up nailing Bacterian straight in the face. Bacterian flew out of the ring onto the grass.

The announcer jumped up and shouted, "Korale is the winner! He advances!"

Korale smelled the air then around himself, " Ack! I smell just like him! AHHHH!"

Korale quickly left the ring and rushed to take a shower.

While Korale was bathing off his stench a familiar tophat walked through the crowd up to the man who was in charge of organizing the numbers of the contestants entered in the contest.

"Aye mon, how might you be doin this day?"

"Ummm fine."

"Listen I need a favor mon, I'm going to need a few rounds of de warmin up before I's goin to fight contestant number one."

"I'm sorry sir but once you draw your number it's final."

"LISTEN HERE MON!" He then grabbed his own collar and yanked on it calming down. "Listen Here Mon I know a thing or two about final and if you don't want this to be your 'Final' day on dis planet mon I suggest you change it like i ask."

The organizers face turned pale and sweat started beading on his forehead. "O...O...Ok ummm what number w..w..w..would you like?

"Numba five just trade da man who got numba five with me and we'll be set got it?"

"Y...Y...Yes sir!"

The organizer fumbled around finally switching the numbers, and running over to tell the announcer the change.

"Folks it looks like theirs been a change instead of Dread versus Xavrain it will be Xavrain versus Jackie Chun!"

The audience cheered, as the next few fights proceeded.

After the fights had finished the announcer came out. "Hello we've had an exciting day today here at...'The World Martial Arts Tournament!' But for those of you

who have shown up late let me tell you our upcoming fights! Next we have Xavrain Versus Jackie Chun! Then We have Dread fighting Tien! Last and definatly

not least is Korale going head to head against Crest! It's an exciting day lets get started!

Xavrain stepped out into the ring his mind on one thing...Winning. "When I defeat Ryu I will finally have my revenge for what he did to me...Just a few more

obstacles left in my way...Thought Xavrain as he stretched and formed his fighting technique just itching for the announcer to say begin. He looked dead on at

Jackie Chun observing everything about him. "He looks to old to be out here...but after the few rounds I've seen him go through he's anything but slow and

powerless. If I underestimate him I could lose...But that can't happen I won't let it." The announcer didn't even mouth the words when Xavrain and Chun both

zipped to the middle of the ring trading blows. Xavrain threw a punch as hard as he could, but Chun leaped to avoid it jumping just high enough to level Xavrain

with his foot. Xav flew back catching himself and flipping back up before he could fly out of the ring. He wiped the blood from his mouth, and spit out the rest.

"Not Bad old man." Yelled Xavrain. "But this is far from over!" Chun just concentrated on the fight crouching into his fighting technique as Xavrain made his way

to him. Xavrain missed again with his punch, with Chun easily evading, but this time Xavrain anticipated his attack and caught his foot hoisting him up into the

air then back into the hard surface of the tournament ground. Chun jumped up attempting a leg sweep on Xavrain, Xavrain jumped then kicked an image of

Chun that quickly disappeared after his kick flew through it. "Behind you!" shout Chun as he punched Xavrain square in the back." Xavrain skidded across the

ring hearing faint words as he slowly stopped. Ka..."He's kicking my butt I've got to do something." Me...Ha Me..."I've got it!" HA!

A blue beam left Chun's hands as he watched his opponent vanish in smoke of the Kamehameha wave.

The crowd was speechless until the announcer broke the silence..."I...I...I...Guess Jackie Chun win's by ring out!"

"Not so fast!" Yelled Xavrain falling from mid-air only to kick Jackie Chun square in the face sending him out of the ring.

"I win."

"Flash Back!"

Xavrain put his hands out hoping to somehow push the beam back. The force of the beam was going to push him fast enough until he was close to the wall.

He then flipped his wrists jumping from the beam he planted his feet on the wall of the entrance to the arena and propelled himself from it high into the air.

"End Flash Back!"

The crowd and announcer were stunned.

"THE WINNER IS XAVRAIN! I don't believe it!"

Xavrain slipped off back to the waiting area thinking of his fight with Ryu.

The announcer snapped out of his daze about how Xavrain had won his fight and quickly started talking about the next fight.

"Attention everyone our next fight will be Korale and Crest, then we will wrap it up for the day with Dread fighting Tien!"

Korale heard his number and walked outside the arena. He felt the familiar nervous feeling he had felt before his...nasty encounter with Bacterian if nasty was even enough to describe it.

Korale shook the thought and warmed up for his fight against Crest. Crest hailed from far east where he was the champion of several small tournaments held there.

Korale didn't let that bother him he readied himself, closing his eyes only hearing the announcer say begin. He flashed his eyes open to see Crest in front of

him not 8 inches throwing a punch. Korale blocked it, and countered with a leg sweep. Crest easily outmaneuvered Korale and grabbed Korale's wrist as soon

as he was up and around. Korale was shocked as he was thrown almost out of the ring. Korale put his hand down on the ground coming to a stop and landing

on his feet keeping his eyes on Crest. He was tough, Korale would have to use a few tricks to beat him. Korale started with the one he knew best the Rock

Paper scissor technique. Crest blocked Rock, and Paper but was caught off guard and hit square in the face with scissor. Crest regained his composure and

they both traded blows, and both avoided each others fiercest attacks. Korale had one option left to win this fight, and it was going to require enough speed so

Crest didn't see him.

Korale backed up to the edge of the ring and taunted Crest to come attack him. Crest ran at Korale jumping into the air to kick him out of the ring Korale

instead faded away as Crest flew out of the ring. "Whew thank goodness for the after image technique."

"The crowd went crazy and the announcer congradulated Korale as he walked off."

Crest looked down in anger, a hate built up inside of him, he would have his revenge, and with that he stormed off the premises.

Xavrain saw Korale and they both talked about each others battles as they prepared to watch to see who would fight Xavrain next.
