Mokujin

A/N You can assume that Mokujin made it to Tekken 5. There wasnothing important about the journey there. Also, there are eleven chapters. Yup, only three more chapters after this one and Mokujin's tale is finished... atleast until Tekken 6. Assuming Mokujin's in it.

Chapter Eight

One week later

Mokujin had been fighting nonstop against Ganryu. The massive sumo-wrestler was Mokujin's third fight in Tekken 5. Mokujin searched its memory for a fighter… Jin Kazama. Mokujin immediately set itself in Jin's stance and dived at its opponent.

Ganryu was sweating profusely. The battle has been going on for two hours. Earlier in the match Ganryu would swat away at Mokujin with ease, but each time the wooden dummy learned, and it never repeated the same mistake twice. It has been two long hours in the sun in a temple surrounding, and Mokujin was not getting tired. Ganryu, however, was very tired. Each attack was weaker than the last, and it was obvious that Mokujin had the advantage.

Mokujin assumed a new stance, apparently Eddy or Christie. Mokujin danced around Ganryu's blurring vision, striking every time Ganryu blinked, streams of attack combos leaving wounds from where wood scraped skin and where Mokujins chains whipped him.

Mokujin chose another stance. This time Ganryu's, and with one massive push, Ganryu fell to the ground, too weak to move. Mokujin began rotating its head, searching for the demonic energy trail left by Jinpachi Mishima.

Two hours later

Aborigines, the native people of Austrailia, were also known for their magic and superstitious society. They did believe in such things and they were often related to voodoo activity. So Mokujin felt a strange connection when a female kangaroo made her way up to the ring, this time a white-tiled ring with statues of dragons all around the place.

The kangaroo had a baby kangaroo, a Joey, in her pouch, and as she took up her fighting stance, her baby did the same. Roger Junior, Mokujin's mind told him.

The mother stood up and pointed to Mokujin. "Hey you! Do you know where my husband is?"

Mokujin focused on the creature, trying to communicate. Apparently Kangaroos and ancient trees speak a similar language, because the kangaroo was startled when Mokujin replied, "No, but if you beat me, I'll help you find him."

The kangaroo tapped her feet impatiently. "How can you help me, you can't even talk?"

Mokujin angrily pointed back at her, "Look who's talking, Mrs. Kangaroo!"

Almost word-for-word, that dialogue is.

Reviews!

asuka-kazama-mishima: Well, this is a really compound question. Okay, first off, only one of those two charactersappear in this story. And yeah, I think Asuka is somehow related to Jin. Um. Thanks for reviewing!

FlamingFenix: Yes, we're getting to the kangaroo part... and I'm just as confused as you are. I guess trees can understand kangaroos the same way an english man can understand japanese. I... really dont know.

Machinex: Thanks, man. I really appreciate the enthusiasm.

Deranged Lunatic (formerly Omnicient Shadow): Nice new name. Thanks for the support, man.

Thanks to all of the reviewers!
