Hey! Shadowsin here once again with a new chapter of TOF. Sorry for not updating sooner, had a lot of reports and projects to do, which took all of my free time away. But the work is done, leaving me a lot of time to write.
Karisan-Karisan - Thank you for reviewing! I'm trying to make him be just as powerful as the others because when you think of it, everybody will be a lot more powerful than Hwoarang and I just didn't want to turn him into a devil or angel since i've already done that fifty times haha. But I hope you like this chapter and receive feedback.
Devil Billy Kazama - Hey no problem! I just thought that a flashback would be a really good idea to give the readers a detailed information of Billy's past. Thank you and review again!
Lil' Tommygirl - Thank you! I'm happy that you like my idea of Hwoarang being a half-wolf. Review! I can't wait to read your feedback.
Moontearz - THANK YOU! I have a great idea where to put Jamie in but you have to wait for it. Sorry! But believe me you're going to think its awesome. Kyo and Jamie tag team will dominate!
Tapping...
Beads of sweat were dropping from his forehead, his ragged breathing always at a high pace. He fell on all fours, his head feeling like its splitting in two, his hands feeling like something was stabbing them. He accidently slit his tongue, unaware of the fangs growing from his teeth. His soft brown eyes turned into a dark crimson, his hands turning into claws with gray fur around them. Gray pointy wolf ears rising out of his head with a gray tail coming from the rear. His green and orange vest changed to gray and red, his shoes as well. The pain finally subsiding, heunleashed out a howl.
Tekken 5 Tournament Of Fate - Chapter 20: Finals
Morning came and the gang were already at the OsakaCenter waiting for the announcements.
"When is this guy going to show up." Asuka asked, irritated
"Just be patient.." Jin looked at his sister, shaking his head
The announcer arrived with a couple sheets of paper in his hands. His face was fullofexicitement, but then again the crowds were too.
"Ladies and Gentlemen.. you've faced toughbattles,fighting withinjuries and in some cases, broken limbs. But now this is it, this is where the real game begins, now isnot the time to be nice. No, it's time to get real, you're not here to make friends, you're here to get that million dollar prize and claim the Mishma Zaibatsu. Only the strongest are leftstanding, the others packed their bags and left. From here on out, everything goes, breaking bones, specials, whatever, this is whatyou've been waiting for. No more holding back, show us what you got." With that said, theannouncer moved out of the way to show thenow bracket style match ups.
From the bottom, all the contestants were placed, but there were two single areas at the top. One before the boss and the boss himself. Belowthe boss was thephoto of Kazuya. It seemed by his skill of the last tournament,organizers didn't want to waste theirtimeby placing Kazuya at the bottom with others. Because that would only multiply the number of body bags by three.
Kyo searched for his photo to find his paired up with Bruce Irvin. He looked over his shoulder to see Bruce up against the wall,shoulders crossed and his eyes closed. Knowing he was being watched, he opened them and glared hatefully at Kyo.
"You're going to die kid, either that or be in a coma for a few years." he stated, spitting
"Getting a little cocky are we?" Kyo argued, irritation showing in his eyes
"Why should I get cocky, when i'm dealing with a runt like you." he shot back
"Whatever..besides i've heard the ones that boast the most are the ones that fall first." Kyo replied
"What was that!" he pushed off the wall, making his way towards Kyo
"You heard me. Just begrateful you're not the one i'm after, if you're lucky.. you'll leave our match with your life." Kyo turned around leaving Bruce with that last statement
Kyo's eyes roamed the screen, taking another glance at the brackets
Kyo Kazama vs Bruce Irvin - Underground
Hwoarang vs Paul Phoenix - Hotel Plaza
Billy Kazama vs Marshall Law - Dojo
Asuka Kazama vs Panda - City Fair
Steve Fox vs Ganryu - Gym
Kaori Mitsaki vs Anna Williams - Park
Julia Chang vs Christie Monteiro - Airport
Xiaoyu vs Mokujin - Cave Entrance
Jin Kazama vs Raven - Forest
The announcer was not joking.. Most of the competetors were facing his friends, and if his friends moved on to the next round, they would face each other. But like his concious reminded him, he wasn't here to play pattycake, he was here to take someone down. He looked over at Billy, who seemed to be deep in thought, he walked over to see if there was something wrong with him.
"Hey, you ok?" Kyo asked
"Yeah.. just thinking.."
"About what?"
"I just have this feeling.. like something bad is going to happen."
"Like an aura?"
"Yeah.. coming from Jin's direction.."
"You think something will happen to him?"
"I don't know, just look after him." Billy replied walking off
'Jin..' Kyo thought, looking over to his direction. From what he could see, Jin looked perfectly fine, there was a smile on his face which came from Xiaoyu's funny antics. Those two would be quite a pair.. most people thought they would too. But with all the madness happening these days, not even they were sure if it was going to survive. His gaze switched over to Kaori.. his guardian angel, literarly. He found out about her transformation the day they had their argument, the wings coming out of her back was a dead giveaway but that didn't phase him. But they both made a promise that if things get dangerous,she leaves him immediately.
'What about Hwoarang?'
Hwoarang seemed a bit different these days, not in a bad way. He seemed a bit more calm and relaxed, kind of like Jin until Xiaoyu popped into his life. He still had the kick ass attitude but it seemed that he had something.. like.. an aura, hidden inside his body. Maybe Kyo was immaginating things, maybe not, but when your own father wants to kill you for power, you could get a little crazy.
"You okay Kyosuke?" that sweet innocent voice rang through his head
Without answering, he turned around and held her. The scent of strawberry shampoo greeting his nose.
"Hey Kaori.." he mumbled, barely audiable with his face tilted down in her hair. He received a giggle that made him chuckle himself.
"You excited about your match?" Kyo asked
"Yeah, but even if I do win, if I go up against you or the other guys, i'm sure that i'll lose." she complained, fake-pouting
"Come on Kaori!" he said laughing "I know you can beat them."
"I don't know."
"Just try you best and i'm sure you'll do fine."
Hwoarang was in deep thought. First he had to tell Julia and Jin about his new 'gift', because sooner or later they will find out so why not now. Julia was going to be hard so he decided that Jin will be an easier task.
"Hey Jin.. we need to talk."
"Alright.. over there." Jin replied moving to the suggested area
"So what did you want to talk about."
"Well.. I know about your gene.." Hwoarang replied
"What!.."
"I know about your Devil Gene Jin.. and i'm sure as hell when we fought last time, you were holding that power back."
"Hwoarang.. please.. don't tell the others.." he pleaded
"Don't worry.. I won't, because I have my own gift." he said pulling Jin around the building corner
Jin stood there as Hwoarang fell on all fours, a gray tail resembling a wolf's came out of his rear, along with ears on his head and fangs from his teeth. His eyes turned into dark crimson, his hands turning to claws while his green and orange vest changed to gray and red. He stood to face a wide eyed Jin.
"What the hell! How did you do this?" he asked amazed
"A little voice popped into my head.. and told me that trouble would soon happen and allies would need my help and what not."
"What are you really?"
"Well now i'm a half-wolf, a hybrid." he replied
"So do you want to help fight my father?"
"No.. a voice told me that a being even more powerful than your father will rise. When that happens, i'll be there to help. Your father is your's and your brother's problem, I don't want to intefere.."
"What about Julia.. does she know about this?"
"No... not yet. Hopefully she won't freak out."
"Well if she truly loves you, then she won't." Jin replied honestly
"Thanks Jin.."
"No problem.."
This chapter may be pretty horrible, but I just wanted to add final thoughts to most characters before the finals start. Read and Review!
