Author's notes :Thunder is back with a vengence! Yeah, I know that sounded lame. Anyway, enjoy!

The heavy sprinkles of rain pouring from the cloudy sky soaked everyone and everything in dripping wetness as Lei Fang could feel her blue dress sticking to her skin and Jann's breath moving close to the left of her ear. His full-nelson hold remained locked in as he began to taunt his rival.

"What's the matter, Lei Fang? You don't sound too happy," he croaked. "Is this the part where you start to cry? Is this the part where you submit and admit defeat? Because if it is, say it! Say it so everyone can hear you!"

Lei Fang stayed intentionally silent toward Jann, indulging in a strategy to breakaway from his clutching grasp. Down on both knees she sat as the pressure dug even farther into her spine. Echoed screams ran wild throughout the stadium, eclipsed by the rapid booms of thunder tearing across the sky. Jann Lee kept his smiles concealed, as he was getting pleasure from hearing the sound of his opponent's agonizing cries. The result of the match was in his favor at the moment, but there was a chance for the tables to turn and defect over to Lei Fang's side.

Thriving in horrific pain, she tuned out Jann's taunts for a slight moment and rose to her feet to stand. Lifting her leg up slightly, she drove her foot backward into the cap of Jann's knee. A light squeak was heard running from his throat. She could easily verify that it bothered him and continued to kick even harder. Jann groaned as the back of her sharp heels ran against his legs. She could soon feel his grip loosening with every landing blow. Again, she kicked her opponent, and finally, turning her loose, he let go. He held onto his leg and tried to suppress the screams critically wanting to exhale from his mouth through his clinched teeth. Lei Fang stepped back and rotated her arms in the air with a smile of success. Jann Lee reached and touched the small cuts on his skin, rubbing them, examining his hurt leg while glaring angrily at Lei Fang with extreme hatred boiling in the fiery pupils of his eyes. He checked for blood, finding a small strip of red liquid leaking out of him. He was mad, but also smiling at the same time. From his reaction, Lei Fang's eyebrows rose in suspicion in wonderment of what the expression on his face meant.

"I'm not bleeding too much," he smirked. "Those heels of yours are pretty dangerous…. but then again, so am I!"

"Lets do this Jann, I don't have all night," Lei Fang said. "I don't need to hear more of your whining."

"No. What you need, I can give you. You're in need of a quick beating. Time to wipe that smug look off your pretty little face, now."

Jann Lee and Lei Fang pushed themselves forward and unleashed a flurry of attacks toward each other. Jann Lee's lightning quick fists plowed into the belly of Lei Fang as she launched a few palm punches of her own into Jann's ripped chest. A great massive war of attacks was at work, hitting, returning, and even being countered by the two as neither side refused to back down from the other. With every hit landed, the lightning would strike violently, perfectly in sync with the staggering blows.

The crowd applauded the intense battle, but neither fighter could hear their claps through mixing storm of punches and kicks they exchanged with one another. Kasumi and the others looked on from the barricades as they were surely impressed with the amount of dedication and determination the two young individuals showed in the ring.

"Look at those two. They both seemed to be enjoying this fight rather well," said Hayate.

"This is more entertaining than pro-wrestling," Zack murmured.

"I agree. Both fighters are doing quite well, but I can't help but sense there's something going on behind the scenes," said Ryu.

"Something troubles you, Ryu?" Asked Kasumi.

"No. Its nothing."

Sights were set back in the ring with Jann Lee swinging punches furiously, and Lei Fang wheeling backward from harms way. Separated and thrown into another stare down, Jann pumped up his muscles before gliding himself toward the other side of the ring to take another swipe at his opponent. He twirled his foot into Lei Fang's leg, tripping and knocking her slightly off balance. When she nearly fell, Jann grabbed hold of her leg, firmly raising it up, and then kicking the other off balance. Lei Fang tripped, but used her hands to catch herself on the floor before making contact with the cement. She rose to her feet, only to meet with Jann Lee's fist half way. Her body flapped backward and hit the ground, skidding her leg against it.

"Come on, Lei Fang. Quit embarrassing yourself. Well, actually, I take that back. You're doing quite fine in that regard," Jann laughed.

Lei Fang stumbled up, panting slowly.

"Its nice to see that you've found a sense of humor. For the past couple of years, I didn't think you had any. But the only funny thing here is what I'm going to do you in a few seconds."

"Bah! You talk big, little girl, but you can't back it up."

"We'll see about that," Lei Fang said in a fighting stance. "So Jann, are you ready to lose?"

"Shut it! I am the winner!"

Jann Lee revved up his battle cry and lunged a fist into Lei Fang's path. Gracefully, she caught a hold of his arm and trip kicked his leg, but Jann refused to go down, and instead, yanked Lei Fang's wrist into an arm drag take down and threw her right back on the floor. To add on to the throw down, he raised his foot high in the air and drove it straight down into the heavy cement toward Lei Fang's head. Cutting it close, she quickly moved just before his foot touched her skin.

"Be still, you! Its not everyday I get to stomp someone's head into the ground."

"And let you mess up my pretty face? Now, Jann, why would I let you do a thing like that?" Lei Fang said, playfully.

Lei Fang skipped around the ring as Jann Lee fired more rounds of blows in her direction. She placed her arms into a curl and bumped her clinched fists into Jann's ribs as he missed with each swing. Angrily, in retaliation, he scooped her right off her feet and made an attempt to drive her head into the floor, but Lei Fang wrapped her legs around his neck in python like fashion and stopped him from doing so. She used the crushing strength of her legs and clamped Jann's head tightly in a clutching hold of her own. Jann's face could be seen changing colors, his supply of oxygen being cut down as Lei Fang's legs choked him.

"You don't look so good, Jann. Maybe you should lay down," Lei Fang cracked, jokingly, as she hung upside down with her legs around his neck.

Hearing that insult, Jann spun around widely in a big circle to break free from his opponent's vice gripping legs. He smashed his fist multiple times into Lei Fang's thighs but her hold wouldn't break, and she continued to stay on him. He whirled around in a circle even faster, soon dizzying both himself and Lei Fang, and before she fell and hit the floor, Jann Lee caught her by the legs, holding her upside down like a hooked fish. A devious smile rolled across Jann's face in reaction to grasping his opponent's legs. Immediately, Lei Fang had a couple ideas of what he was planning to do, but they were all tossed out of her mind when Jann pushed her hanging skirt even further down and exposed her undergarments to the crowd in a provocative manner. Jann snickered as he saw her cheeks glowing bright red with embarrassment. Not stopping there, he spread her legs apart, putting each between his arms, and spun her around the ring constantly, stopping seconds later. Lei Fang was then tossed on the floor, completely dizzy and feeling a bit sick as she used her hands to elevate herself back up.

"Did you enjoy the ride?" Jann laughed.

Lei Fang stumbled to one knee as she gave Jann a frightening glare.

"I can't believe you did that!" she squeaked.

"Aw, did I hurt some bodies feelings?" he said, imitating an apologetic voice.

"You're going to pay for that, Jann."

"Ha! What are you going to do? Hurt me? Well, come on then. Bring it on!"

Jann waved his arms around and smiled, inviting Lei Fang to attack him, and with that, she did. She charged forward, her fists shaking, her eyes searing into balls of flames. Jann Lee stood ready to counter whatever she threw at him, but Lei Fang didn't attack when she got close enough for a clean hit. She quickly dived onto the floor and slid underneath Jann's legs. With a heavy kick, she hit Jann Lee's ribs and smashed her foot into the back of his ankle. The young dragon plopped to his knees, holding his lower region. Lei Fang displayed a heavy smile from her actions and rose up to send another kick toward the front of Jann's throat as he sat still.

"Damn you!" Jann shouted as he fell backward.

"This battle isn't yet over, Jann. Get used to it!" Lei Fang said, stationing herself behind him.

"You got that right, little girl," Jann whispered with a smile.
