Chapter 4: Power from the past
Dan had called a cab and went toward the location of the tournament. He got out and looked around and saw all the fighters. He was in shock to see so many and went inside. He signed in and went into a big area where he fighters were gathering. He looked around and saw many fighters he saw before.
Dan: There's Ayane, Kasumi, Lei Fang, Hitomi, Zack, Gen, Ryo, Tibius. So many of them I know and yet there are three times more than that.
Dan saw an official come out and a few others bringing out some machine
Official: Hello everyone! To see who gets in we are going to test your strength. Only 32 will get in so make sure you are ready to give out your strongest hit.
About 60 people went when Dan spotted Tina. He ran toward her
Dan: You prepared?
Tina: Yep. I already did mine. Got a 137.3. It's one of the highest.
Dan: Looks like I will have a lot of competition to go through. I hope I get in though.
After another 50 Dan's name came up. He started to walk toward the machine. As he did he heard murmurs from the other contestants. Dan paid no mind to them as one of them yelled something out
Man: GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM YOU SCRAWNY WEAKLING!
Dan then prepared to strike and then hit the machine as hard as he could. The area began to shake and everyone began to fall. The machine gave a reading of 743.54
Official: What the! That's the highest anyone ever got! I hate to be the person whom fights you!
Dan went back toward Tina, whom looked dumbfounded at what she saw
Tina: H-H-How did you do that!
Dan: I'm not sure myself. I just gave it my hardest and that's it.
All the other competitors finished up and the 32 finalists were chosen. The officials paired them up to make it so only 8 would compete in the main tournament. When finished, the finalists consisted of: Kasumi, Ayane, Tina, Hiyobatsu, Kayne, Druss, Elyn, and Dan.
Official: Ladies and gentleman! You've come for a show and you will get one! On the board are the 8 Finalists. Our first match: Kasumi vs Elyn! Our second match: Ayane vs Dan! Third: Kayne vs Hiyobatsu! And our last match: Tina vs Druss! Let's begin with our first match!
Shortly after finishing Kasumi and Elyn went onto the arena. The match began and then ended within 5 minutes, with Kasumi being the winner.
Official: A short first match but hopefully this one will keep us entertained for a while! It's now Ayane vs Dan!
Both Ayane and Dan went onto the arena and stared at each other. Ayane then showed some sort of sign of worry
Ayane(Thinking): What's going on? How do I know him? Could it be that he is…?
Official: And fight!
