Hey Shadowsin here! Just before I thank you for reviews. I've found out that Namco is making another Tekken game for the PS3! I have no clue to whether it's going to be Tekken 6 or Tekken Tag 2 but with the graphics that the PS3 has, it's going to be wicked! The trailer was about 30 seconds long, only showing Jin practicing his moves, but the graphics that they showed looked awesome! I'll get back to more info of the upcoming game when more news is revealed. But now I want to thank everyone that reviewed the latest chapter of TOF. Today's chapter will be focusing on the matches, i'm going to try my best to make this one long so I can get a head start at writing the next matches.
Devil Billy Kazama - Hey thanks for reviewing! I was glad to pair Christie and Billy together by your request, and if i'm able to, i'll try to add some fluff with them. About writing the opening chapter, i'll talk to Karisan, Moontearz, and Lil' Tommygirl so we can decide on which chapters each author writes, hopefully i'll get a reply from them soon. When I do, i'll tell you what's going on.
Lil' Tommygirl - Thank you so much for accepting, i'm really honored that you think that i'm a great writer. I can't wait when we start developing the OC story, I just need to get in touch with Moontearz and Karisan to see when they'll finish their story. I was thinking about starting a c2 community based on the OC story, do you think that's a good idea? Once again thank you, and I can't wait for your feedback.
Kyo: 'Well..this is it.'
Jin: 'It starts today..'
Hwoarang: 'I need to give it my all.. get ready Jin.'
Asuka: 'It's time to settle the score.. with him.. Feng Wei'
Billy: 'I just need to win my matches.. then Heihachi is mine to kill!'
Julia: 'Spirits.. give me the strength to win this.'
Xiaoyu: 'Its time to right the wrongs in the past.. for Jin.'
Steve: 'Let's see if my opponents can stand my punches..Kyo..you're going down.'
Christie: 'I need to win to fights.. I need to save grandfather!'
Kaori: 'I need to win.. to save the ones I care about..'
All: 'This is my destiny!'
Tekken 5 Tournament Of Fate - Chapter 22:Bullet Ballet
All of them stood there.. in a respectful line, with proud looks on their faces as the announcer walked past them. Along with them were ten others as they too stood in a line.
"Let's give it up for our finalists!" he shouted into his microphone as the crowd went wild
"Unlike our previous tournaments, this one will bea slight different. Instead of each fight being place 2 hours ahead of each other, they will begin in rotation, so when the winner of match 1 is declared, then the second match begins with 2 other competetors. You see, all the locations that they are assigned to are really close to this center, so it will only take a few minutes for each contestant to arrive there. So with my explaination finished, lets start our first match. Kyo and Bruce, head down underground at the parking lot."
"All right!" Kyo said his newly red dyed hair moving about ( not orange but RED! lol)
He was wearing a white buttoned long sleeve shirt. The cuffs were rolled up to his elbows white the top buttons at the top and bottom were unbuttoned. He was wearing his red gloves with the white guard protectors as well. Underneath his shirt was a black short sleeved shirt which were tucked into his white pants. His red tennis shoes matched his hair.
"Good luck Kyo.. I plan to see you in the final." Jin stated
"Just be careful.." Asuka said, hugging him
"Don't worry Asuka.. remember, i'm the responsible one out of the three of us." he said jokingly
The others gave him high fives as he walked past them, but before he made his way out, he stopped at Billy
"Is anything going on recently.." Kyo asked
"No.. but I fear that something bad is going to happen later." he replied
"You may think i'm crazy, but I have that feeling too."
"You're worried about him... aren't you.." Billy asked
"Of course..he's my brother.."
"True.."
"But aside from the point..what's going on with you?"
"Me? What do you mean?"
"I seen you with that girl.. what is it? oh yeah.. Christie.."
"What about her?"
"I've seen you two walking yesterday.. itlooked like you were having a lot of fun."
"What made you think that?" Billy asked, his face a tint of red
"Because you had a grin plastered on your face the whole time. Don't worry i'm not going to joke around.. but if you really like her.. ask her to be with you."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Hey..just look at Kaori and me..we're doing fine." he answered, walking away
"Just think about it.." Kyo called out
' I will Kyo..I will..'
Kyo arrived at the underground parking lot as he noticed Bruce, laying against one of the stone pillars calmly
"I didn't think you show.. runt." he mocked
"Then you thought wrong.. I wouldn't be scared of a weakling like you." he shot back, his voice dark
"What did you say!"
"You heard me, it seems like you haven't felt pain for quite sometime, but oh don't worry, i'll make you remember.." his voice was dark..too dark
'Oh no...' Jin, Asuka, and Kaori all had the same thought
Since Kyo had been hanging around Kaori and Asuka for awhile, his dark side had been in 'jail' since the girls had the angel gene. But when he was a far away distance from them, the devil inside him felt like he just received a get out of jail for free card.
"Round 1.. Ready.. Fight!"
"Yah!" Kyo made a dead sprint at the shaken Bruce
"On no! Kyo went berserk!" Asuka yelled covering her mouth (Berserk is when the Devil side takes over for a couple minutes to release some pent up rage.)
Kyo ran full speed then jumped in the air, pulling off a spinning roundhouse to Bruce. His face was rocked as he went sailing back hitting the wall hard. He opened his eyes to see a psycho Kyo charging at him with black lightning swirling around his fist. He ducked just in time as the fist made contact with the wall, causing a crater as big as a soccer ball. Bruce gave a quick knee lift in Kyo's ribs which contacted, but it seemed that it didn't even phase him as he punched Bruce squarely in the face, feeling the breaking of cartilage in his nose.
"You bastard.." Bruce roared, still on all fours
"What was that?" Kyo roared as well, kicking him in the face so hard it would have made a soccer star salute
He picked up Bruce by the collar of his shirt
"Who's the weakling now.. not even a scratch on me while it looks like you're about to fall in a coma." With that said, the berserk state went off leaving Kyo with Bruce hanging in his hand
"It's over.." he punched Bruce in the gut hard, knocking him out
He fell lifeless on the ground as the medical team went over to him
"He's still alive, but he won't be able to fight in the next round. Kyo is the winner be default." the head medical person announced
"Well you heard it ladies and gents'.. the fist match win belongs to Kyosuke Kazama!"
The crowd cheered wildly as Kyo made his way back to the others
"Was that really necessary?" Asuka scolded
"I'm sorry.. but the guy had it coming.." he defended
"That is true, that guy was way too cocky." Hworang helped
"I swear, we let you go for five minutes and you're about to send a guy to a hospital." she mumbled
"Alright now, will Hwoarang and Paul Phoenix meet at the hotel plaza." Once again, the announcer's voice rung over the speakers
"Well it's my turn now." he said making his way to the exit
"Be careful Hwo.." Julia pleaded
"I'll be fine Jules.." Hwoarang replied with a cocky smile
He made his way to the hotel everyone was staying at. Once he entered, he saw Paul in the center of plaza, talking to one of the attendance girls that worked there.
"So how about me and you hang out after this.." he asked
"Hmm.. sure.." she replied smiling
"Yo! Paul!" Hwoarang made a signal slapping his wrist with his index finger like he had a tight schedule
"Yeah yeah i'm comin'. " Paul moaned walking over
"Sorry about pulling you away from your girl but we need to get this started."
"It's fine.. let's do this."
"Round 1.. Ready.. Fight!" Paul ran at Hwoarang, throwing a knee thrust at him. Hwoarang easily moved out of the way quickly, surprising himself. Paul tried to pull off a chain combo starting with a punch to the gut, but Hwoarang countered and pulled a flying eagle on him. The three air roundhouses had blue flames appear each time they connected against Paul's face.
'What? I have blue flames now?'
Paul rose up quickly and leaned back..
'Oh no you don't!' Hwoarang thought as he threw a heel kick at Paul
The blow connected against Paul's left cheek, sending him to the ground once again.
"Winner of Round 1. Hwoarang!"
"I just need to win this second one and i'll be one step closer at facing him."
"Round 2.. Ready.. Fight!"
Paul suddenly smacked Hwoarang with an elbow in the face, sending him in the air. Paul charged his fist and threw it with all his might as it connected with the falling Hwoarang. The Phoenix Smasher knocked Hwoarang far back.
'Damn I had let my guard down for too long.. I need to finish this now.. but I don't have any devestating one hitters.' he thought..
Right then a new move manifested in his mind..
He had no idea what he was doing, he felt like his body was moving on his own. His right leg caught on fire, the blue flame swirling around his leg as he ran and jumped in the air, turning in a 360 degree fasion with his right leg forward in a flying kick motion.
"Wolf Rippa!" he suddenly yelled as the words escaped his mouth
The kick slammed into Paul's chest as he flew against the wall.. fast. You could hear the loud thump of Paul's body as he smacked against the marble wall, then the floor. He didn't make an attempt to rise again
"Winner of Match. Hwoarang!"
Hwoarang walked away as the medical team ran towards Paul
"I'm sorry buddy.. but I have a promise to keep."
"What in the hell was that move?" Asuka asked, astounded
"Probably an after affect of the gene he received.." Jin stated
"What gene?" The others asked
Oh yeah.. they didn't know what happened the other day
Hwoarang made his way back to the others that greeted him.
"Nice match Hwoarang!" Kyo said giving him a high five
"Yeah that last move was wicked!" Xiaoyu stated
"Thanks.. I didn't even know how that happened.." he said
"My guess is from that gene.." Jin said once again, the others agreed now having heard what happed to Hwoarang
"You think so?" he asked
"Probably." Jin assured
Hwoarang looked at his hands, amazement written in his eyes
"Cool.."
"Will Billy Kazama and Marshall Law please leave and head to the Dojo.." the announcers voice appeared over the speakers
"Well.. that's me." he said walking off
He suddenly stopped as he looked down to see arms wrapped around his waist
"Just concentrate.. and fight to your own beat." the soothing voice was next to his ears
Heat rose to his cheeks as Christie kissed him on the cheek then walked away
"I'll be watching you on the big screen!" she shouted
Hmph! He grinned.. Kyo was right.. he should ask her.. later.. right now he had a fight to win..
He walked into the Dojo to see Law practicing on the bag
"You ready?" Billy asked, fixing his gloves
"Yes.. don't hold back." he replied getting in his stance
"Don't worry, I wasn't intending to."
"Round 1.. Fight.." They both sprinted to each other at the same time. Law threw a back hand at Billy, he ducked and gave a stun punch in the gut to Law. He stumbled back and was met with a foot in his face from Billy. Law ran at Billy again, throwing a the same punch in which Billy ducked again, only this time, Law's left knee was waiting for him as he smashed it against Billy's face. He stumbled back a bit and touched his nose, he was greeted by the red fluid dripping from his nose.
Bad mistake.
Billy ran at Law, and elbowed him in the gut, starting off a 7 hit combo, he then followed with a small uppercut, with a straight kick, a back hand, and a double roundhouse in the face. The combo rocked Law as he met the mat, not making an effort to stand.
"Winner of Round 1.. Billy Kazama.."
Law stood, after taking about three minutes
"Round 2.. Ready.. Fight!"
"Watahh!" Law smacked Billy with a flying kick in the face. He hit the mat but spranged back up. Law threw his machine gun punches but Billy countered and threw him over his shoulder. As Law rose and executed his flip kick that smacked Billy in the chin.
'It's time to finish this..' Billy thought
Billy crouched down and amazed the spectators as neon blue lightning erupted from his fist. He started spinning towards Law who stood there stunned as he only saw one other person execute this exact move in the past.
Kazuya..
And what was the fearful move?
The Spinning Demon Uppercut
And Billy unleashed its power on Law as he sprung in the air, his lightning fist meeting Law's chin as they both soared. Billy landed safely on the ground while Law was out like a light.
"Winner of Match.. Billy Kazama!"
Billy walked over to the camera with an evil intent in his eyes
"Heihachi.. when I find you.. i'll make you pay.." with that statement, he punched the camera making the screen go with black and white dots
"Alright everybody! How do like the matches so far?" the announcer asked as the crowd were cheering
"Can Asuka Kazama and Panda please make their way to the city fair grounds."
"See you guys later.." Asuka said walking away
"Be careful." Kyo and Jin said at the same time
"Of course.. we have atask at hand and i'm not going to be taken down now." she replied, determined to win
As she made her way out of the stadium, Billy had arrived to the others
"Where's Asuka?" he asked
"She left to fight her opponent."
When Asuka arrived at the fair grounds, she noticed that all the rides were still open, even people were there enjoying the concession stands and picture booths. It seemed that everyone was having fun, she envied that. Those people had no clue what was going on in front of them, while they enjoyed their time spending money on entertaiment, she was fighting opponents, trying to make her way to the final battle so evil wouldn't corrupt the world. But when all this was over, she hoped that she could just be like them and enjoy the quality of being happy.
But until then, she had work to do..
She looked around, spotting her opponent at a cotton candy stand
"Hey Panda!" she called out, waving her hand
Panda turned around to see her opponent waiting
With a irritated growl, she moved out of line, being denied of the sweet cotton happiness
"It's a shame that I have to fight something so cute." she thought while getting into her stance
"Round 1..Ready..Fight!"
Panda charged at Asuka, performing a high slash at her face. Luckily, she ducked, otherwise her face would have been done. She quickly rose and retaliated with her special "tooth fairy" move that she learned from her mother. Panda went flying high as Asuka added in two cartwheel kicks on her descent. Panda rose, seeming to taken the blows pretty hard, but nevertheless she stuck Asuka with a fierce punch, knocking her back a couple feet. As Panda was closing the gap between them, Asuka made three leg sweeps, all of them connecting against Panda's left leg, then finished it with a powerful cartwheel. Panda's face hit the pavement as Asuka landed gracefully.
"Winner of Round 1.. Asuka Kazama."
"Round 2.. Ready.. Fight!"
Panda quickly rolled up into a ball and dashed at Asuka. Unaware of her trick, Asuka was knocked high up in the air, Panda then sent her sailing to the right when she unleashed a very powerful side kick. Asuka rolled and was stopped by hitting a hot dog stand.
"She caught me off guard that time.. I can't let that happen again.."
Asuka rose from the ground, a slight smirk on her face
"Come on.."
Panda once again rolled into a ball and dashed towards her. Instead of waiting for Panda to come to her, she ran at her. As she sprinted, on the last push she pulled her right leg back and swung it right at Panda, who was still in ball form. The result, Asuka kicked Panda like a soccer ball which was now flying at the cotton candy stand. Panda was out cold, and was stuck in the cotton candy bowl.
"Winner of Match.. Asuka Kazama.."
She waved at the camera, then sprinted back to the stadium.
Once she arrived back, the crowds were cheering wildly for her. It seemed that she was this year's favorite for the tournament
"Next up.. Steve Fox and Ganryu.. please go to the gym."
"Alright now it's my turn." Steve said leaving
As he was walking past Asuka, she quickly grabbed his hand
"Steve..I..I.."
"Shuuush..." he said holding her head against his chest
"Don't worry.. i'll be back soon." his kissed her forehead and left the stadium
Ganryu entered the gym, looking around until he saw his opponent in the boxing ring sporting his british colored trunks and gloves he used in the 4th tournament.
He stepped into the ring and clapped his hands together
"Be ready to get stomped." Ganryu said confidently
"Before we start, I want to ask you three questions.." Steve asked walking up to him
"What do you want to know?"
"Why are you here in the tournament?"
"To get something Heihachi has.."
"Why are you so confident?"
"Because I believe I have power."
"And last.. what time is it?"
"What time is it?" he repeated confused
"Round 1..Ready..Fight!"
"It's time to get your ass kicked!" Steve roared as he socked Ganryu in the face
Steve was going all out. Nothing was going to stop him from achieving his fight with the strongest competetors, mainly Jin, Kyo, Billy, and Hwoarang. And he was sure as hell that he would win his fight. With a strong right hook, it connected with Ganryu's Jaw knocking him out."
"Winner of Round 1.. Steve Fox."
"Round 2.. Ready.. Fight!"
The sumo wrestler tried to retaliate with hand chops to the chest, but Steve was in his own zone. He felt like he was back in the ring, only him and his opponent were the only people that mattered. Each shot Ganryu threw was easily dodged by Steve who countered with his gatling gun punch. With one last punch, Steve used a lot of his energy and wailed in right Ganryu's chest, sending him to a corner pole.
"Winner of Match..Steve Fox."
Steve rose his right gloved hand and smiled to the camera
The others were staring wide eyed at the screen. Who would have thought that Steve had that much power. It had caught the attention of all of them, who were still staring at shock. Kyo's eyes glistened with determination..
He couldn't wait until he has a go with the boxer..
"Kaori Mitsaki and Anna Williams.. please go to the park."
"Bye everyone.." she said walking away
"Kaori.."
"Hm?" she turned around to see Kyo walking to her
"Be careful out there.."
"I will.." she repied hugging him
"I really like what you did your hair.." she commented
"Hey.. you said it would have looked cool if I did, so .. here it is."
"I like it like that.. the hair covering your eyes a bit makes it look..cute."
"Cute?"
"Yeah..cute.."
"Ha.. Jin would never let me live this down.." he said, making Kaori laugh
"Well I gotta go.. see you soon!" she called jogging away
At the park, Anna was sitting on a bench by herself. She arrived at the park three minutes ago, and quickly became bored.
"Hello.. are you Anna?" the innocent voice caught her attention
"Kaori Mitsaki I presume?"
"Yep! That's me."
"Good. Let's start.. you've already wasted enough of my time."
"What?" her anger showed a little
"Nevermind, let's just hope that I didn't waste my energy on a weakling." she sighed, getting into her stance
'Who in the hell does she think she is..' Kaori was pissed, and her eyes were showing it
The once soft caring eyes were gone, now they were ice cold, laced with determination and concentration as she too went into her stance
"Round 1.. Ready.. Fight!"
Kaori sped at Anna with amazing speed, which caught Anna off guard. She unloaded a simple five hit combo starting with a small uppercut, followed by and elbow to her head, then a knee to the face, ending it with using Anna's knee as a foot stool as she jumped on it then launched off kicking Anna in the face two times. Anna stumbled backwards as Kaori landed back on her feet.
"You..bitch!"
"Ah ah.. please no pouting.." Kaori mockingly pleaded
Anna screamed as she sprinted towards Kaori
"Children.." she spat innocently as she gave a hard roundhouse to Anna's stomach, knocking the wind out of her
"Winner of Round 1.. Kaori Mitsaki."
"One more to go.. I can do this.." she thought
"Round 2.. Ready.. Fight!"
Anna quickly pulled out an SMG and pointed at Kaori
"I don't care if I lose or win.. i'll just kill you now."
"Oh my god!" Asuka was freaking out.. there.. one the screen was Kaori being held at gunpoint
"What should we do?" Steve asked looking towards Jin
"I..don't know.. what do you think Kyo?" Jin looked over at Kyo..
To find him nowhere...
'Hold on Kaori! I'm on my way!' Kyo thought, sprinting to the park
"Hmm..what to do..what to do.."Anna thought musingly
"Anna, you are disqualified from the tournament." the announcers voice said over the speakers
"I don't care anymore! I'll just kill her instead." she aimed Kaori and pressed the trigger.
Bam!
"Men.. at sometimes can be the masters of their fates.. Kyo."
"What do you mean?"
"We can choose our own path, make our own destiny, do whatever we want to."
"I see.."
"So what's going to be your path Kyo.."
"Ha.. I don't know.. wherever my feet take me.."
"Well done Kyo.. Well done.."
Kaori stood wide eyed, the thud of the bullet entering the skin had kept playing and playing in her mind. She thought she was going to die..
Until he stood in the way..
There.. in front of her.. was her guardian.. and love..
Kyosuke Kazama
"Oh my god..Kyosuke."
"Ah!... Kaori.. are you okay?"
"Y-yes.. what about you?"
"Heh.. I am now.." his eyes widened a bit then he fell to the ground, slipping into darkness
"KYOSUKE!"
The crowd was silent.. everyone was.. but then again.. they just saw someone get shot..
