Chapter 5: Blind fury

Dan quickly ran at Ayane as she was daydreaming. He punched her in the face and she went flying. She quickly got up and looked at Dan

Ayane: You'll pay for that!

Ayane then went behind Dan and began to lift him up. Ayane then slammed Dan into the ground and struck her fist into his gut. A portion of the area was blasted into the air as Ayane repeatedly punched. After stopping and the smoke cleared she saw that Dan was not there

Dan: I know your fighting style and some of your moves. You need to do better than that.

As Ayane turned around she was met with a kick to the face and was on the ground. She struggled to get up but she got up as the count reached 3

Ayane: Looks like I'm gonna have to try something new.

In a blinding flash Ayane disappeared and seemed to have been appearing around the arena. Dan kept looking around as she kept appearing and disappearing. Ayane then appeared in front of him and punched him. She kept teleporting all over and repeatedly punched and kicked Dan. As Dan looked up he saw Ayane do a spin kick and knocked Dan near the edge. With his head a few inches above the ground he thought he would lose. Ayane then jumped into the air planning to land on Dan. Dan looked as she saw Ayane coming closer and closer. At the last second, Dan rolled to the side as Ayane landed, nearly falling over the edge. Dan quickly moved his right leg and knocked Ayane over the edge. Ayane groaned at the defeat and cursed out loud as the crowd began cheering. Dan then went to the defeated Ayane and gave his hand to help her up. Ayane swatted it away

Dan: What is your deal? I'm just trying to be a good person. Quit being a soar loser.

Ayane: Whatever. If I want help I'll ask for it.

Ayane then left and disappeared from the arena. Dan went to go get something to eat as the other two battles finished. Everyone went home as the day was ending and the next sets of matches were announced. Dan knocked on Tina's door and went inside

Dan: Hey good job in your match today.

Tina: Thanks. You did very well too. I never expected that to happen to tell the truth.

Dan: Me neither. So you are up against Kayne tomorrow.

Tina: I hear he is very tough. He almost killed one of the fighters in the preliminary matches.

Dan: I think I heard of him before. He was called Kayne the Slayer because he was a very good killer and would kill anyone for a good price.

Tina: No kidding? I guess we won't fight each other in the finals.

Dan: No something tells me you will win.

Tina: Same here. But Kasumi is really tough. After her match I don't think it will be as easy as Ayane.

Dan: Yeah. Well I better get some sleep. Good night.

Dan went to bed and woke up a little early the next day. He went to the arena and started to do a little training. As the hours passed he was then called to the arena for his next match

Kasumi: I want to know, is your real name Axle Ryman?

Dan: I'm sorry but I think you got the wrong person.

Kasumi: You definitely seem like him. And the trouble I noticed with Ayane about you somehow told me this.

Dan: Well I've never heard that name before. As for Ayane I don't anything about her that has to do with me. Nor do I want to.

Kasumi: Very well then. Good luck. You will need it.

Dan: Same here. Only you will definitely need it.
