As soon as the news about the tournament came out, everyone stopped packing and went to the Stadium to watch Asuka and Feng Wei's fight.
Asuka was ready to prove how good she was. Last night she had told Jin about her fight against Jun and what had happened while he was unconscious. Jin's feelings were confusing him. He wanted to know where his mother was but he also wanted to continue in the tournament.
He had promised Hwoarang a fair fight and he did want to keep that promise.
-'Ling is resting…she said sorry…for not coming to see you!'-Jin said to Asuka.
-'It's ok. She's been through a lot. I understand.'
-'We all know you are going to win!'-Christie cheered up.
-'Really?'
-'Sure!'-Julia supported her.
-'Shouldn't you be in bed?'-Asuka asked.
-'Nah…my arm is much better…'
-'Ok, thanks for the support guys.'
-'If you feel in troubles…just quit, alright? You shouldn't feel ashamed of quitting…'-Jin warned Asuka.
-'Thanks, Jin…'
-'If you can't win…I'll make him pay for what he did to your father, alright?'
-'Yes…'
Feng Wei and Asuka went to the arena and everyone was yelling their names. Asuka knew that Feng Wei was a powerful opponent. He was fast, strong and heavy. The Chinese Kenpo was a very ancient martial art and Feng Wei seemed to know all its secrets. So, Asuka was a bit concerned because usually she wasn't used to fight against that kind of opponent. But this time she had to win to honour her father.
In her first attack, Asuka remembered her fight against Craig Marduk. He was also taller and heavier than her, and she had managed to win. But unfortunately for her, Feng Wei had seen her fight and he avoided all her punches and kicks.
Asuka stopped annoyed.
-'Sorry babe…but you have to do better than that!'-Feng Wei said to her with a grin.
-'You haven't seen anything yet!'-Asuka replied.
-'I saw you fighting, babe! You're not that special!'
Asuka was angry to see that he was thinking she wasn't a good fighter, so she threw him a jab uppercut. Feng Wei wasn't expecting that and he spit some blood to the floor.
-'Try that again and you'll be sorry!'-he warned.
Asuka tried to hit him with a jab low kick, but he blocked it and hit her in the stomach with a mid kick. Asuka felt a pain in her ribs. She wasn't paying attention and Feng Wei came at her with a sweep kick that threw her to the floor.
Asuka got up immediately and used a jab leg cutter to prevent Feng Wei to come closer to her.
The audience loved the fight. Everyone was amazed by the girl's courage to face such a strong opponent.
Jin was worried for her safety, but he was hoping that Asuka could win; after all she was a Kazama.
Asuka could hear her friends yelling her name. She used a rising elbow, but it didn't have effect on Feng Wei, so she tried a wheel kick. This time, it worked out fine, and Feng Wei met the ground.
He was angry because she had made him fell.
-'I'm having enough of you, princess!'
-'You should've thought about that when you attacked my father!'
-'I had nothing to do with that!'-Feng Wei said. He knew that the police was trying to catch him.
-'Yes, you did! Now you're going to pay…I'm going to defeat you, for my father and all the people you hurt…such as your own master.'
-'You know nothing of my master…and my reasons!'
-'I know enough!'
-'I'm going to send you to the same place I sent your father, princess!'
-'Don't call me princess!'
Asuka did a tornado kick, but Feng Wei avoided it and threw her a jab spear fist. Asuka felt her face burning, but she saw that Feng had dropped his defences, so she managed to grab him by his left arm. She put all her strengths in that strike. She pulled him violently and hit him with a punch in the jaw. Then, without letting his arm, she pushed him to the ground and twisted his arm, breaking it.
Feng Wei felt his bone breaking and he screamed with pain.
The judges declared Asuka the winner. When Feng Wei got up, Jin jumped to the arena to prevent something from happening.
-'I won't kill her…yet!'-Feng Wei said.
-'Go away…she won!'-Jin warned him.
-'You'll pay for this…princess!'
-'And so will you, Mr. Wei. Sorry, but you have to come with me!'-Lei announced.
-'No way…'
-'I'm a detective, and I heard you saying this young lady that you attacked her father! You are under arrest, Mr. Feng Wei.'
-'I will come after you, princess…believe me!'
Feng Wei left with Lei and Asuka was now feeling much better. Finally she had revenged her father.

Hwoarang was going to fight at ten a.m. that morning and he was getting ready. He was dressing his Tae-Kwon-Do outfit to please Baek. But he soon realised that he wasn't doing that to please Baek, he was wearing that outfit because Tae-Kwon-Do had always been a part of him and his life.
-'Hey…there…'-Julia greeted.
-'Hey.'
-'Are you ready for action?'
-'Always!'
-'Jin won against Paul…so you will win too!'
-'Yeah…'
-'Are you nervous?'
-'No, I don't think so…I just need to win, that's all!'
-'I'm sure you will.'
-'Do you think that this…obsession about winning against Jin is stupid?'
-'No, of course not…we all have goals…'
-'Do you want me to win against him?'
-'Jin is a good friend…but if I had to chose, I would certainly chose you!'
-'Julia…I want to tell you something…'
-'Sure.'
-'I realised that winning Jin is not the most important thing in my life…'
-'Good…'
-'You are…'-Hwoarang kissed her and then he left to the Stadium. Julia met Ling and Asuka in Ling's room and they went to see the fight as well. The others were already there.
Asuka was a bit hurt from her fight, but she always recovered fast.
Everyone was expecting a great and also long fight and when Paul and Hwoarang began fighting, things seemed to be like that, but not for too long. Suddenly Paul started to feel tired and Hwoarang's strikes become harder to block.
Paul managed to hit Hwoarang twice with a jab roundhouse, but after that he knew he was going to lose. Hwoarang was faster and younger, and though everyone was always thinking that Hwoarang was just a mere brainless outlaw, he knew about fighting strategies and he was good at it. Paul blocked as much strikes as he could; punches, right kicks, left kicks, but finally he went to the ground after an overhead kick followed by a machine gun kicks; and kicks were definitely Hwoarang's speciality.
After the fight, Paul congratulated him and they shook hands. Jin was impressed by Hwoarang's improvements.
Asuka and Hwoarang were qualified for the next round. The next fight was going to oppose Nina and Anna. The final bout between the two sisters would take place that same afternoon.
Everyone was present except for Asuka; she was resting in her hotel room, besides she wanted to be ready for her next fight.
-'Lets give all we have!'-Anna said entering the arena.
-'Sure…you'll not be disappointed.'-Nina replied.-'If you weren't so stubborn, we could talk without trying to kill each other…but then again, you forced me to this!'
-'I didn't force you…as soon as I win, everything will be alright.'
-'Why do you want to win so badly?'
-'Everyone think you are better than me…you were always the favourite.'
-'Favourite of what?'
-'You were dad's favourite!'
Anna attacked with a jab low kick that successfully hit Nina. But Nina was also an Aikido expert and she managed to guess her sister's move and blocked an uppercut jab.
Nina used a double smash, but Anna grabbed her arm and hit her with a flash kick. She thought that Nina wouldn't be able to get up, but she was wrong, because Nina rose up from the floor and with a spear kick she threw Anna to the floor.
The fight was balanced. Anna and Nina knew the same attacks and they also knew how to prevent a powerful strike from each other. It was hard to see who would win.
-'Nina will lose.'-Jin said.
-'Don't say that!'-Julia asked.-'I prefer Nina than Anna! She's a menace to the society!'
-'Have you ever thought that Anna could be sorry for what she did to your sister?'-Ling suggested.
-'Anna? Feeling regrets? No way!'-Julia said.
-'If she said sorry…what would you do?'-Ling insisted.
-'I didn't think about that…but…I don't think she's able to say sorry…she'll never do that! I mean look at her…she wants to kill her own sister!'
Anna was decided to hurt Nina badly, but Nina was fighting back. When Anna threw Nina violently against the arena ropes, everyone started yelling and suddenly Ling felt dizzy. She saw everything spinning around and her legs failed. She would fell if it wasn't for Christie who grabbed her.
-'Ling? Are you ok?'-Christie asked.
-'What happened?'-Jin asked worried.
-'I don't know…I just saw that she was falling…'
-'Lets take her outside…it's too hot in here…'-Eddie suggested.-'She needs fresh air!'
Jin carried Ling in her arms and they started to exit the Stadium. Jin put her in a bench and Julia brought her some water.
Slowly Ling opened her eyes and she was blinded by the sunlight.
-'Hey…how are you feeling?'-Jin asked.
-'Fine. Why? What happened?'-she asked.
-'You fainted…'-Christie said.
-'I'm fine…I just felt so hot in there…'
-'Well, the Stadium is a bit crowded…'-Eddie confessed.
-'Are you sure, you're alright?'
-'Yes…'
-'You can go…I'll stay with her.'-Julia said.
-'Me too!'-Christie announced.
Five minutes later, everyone was leaving the Stadium. The fight was over.
-'Did they kill each other?'-Julia asked.
-'No…Anna won!'-Jin said.-'Nina wasn't fighting to win…'
-'There are three of us now…me, Asuka and Anna…'-Hwoarang said.-'Tomorrow is your turn Kazama!'
-'I'll win…don't worry.'
-'First you have to win Baek…and believe me, it won't be that simple!'
In the meanwhile, Anna was enjoying her victory. She had showered and she was now on her way to the bar, but she found Nina.
-'We have to talk!'
-'I won fairly…'-Anna said.
-'Lets go…'-Nina pulled Anna into her room and forced her to sit down.
-'Watch my dress, you bitch!'-Anna complained, fixing her red dress.
-'We need to talk about the past…about our parents!'
-'Ok…I'm listening to you…'
-'I think our parents were secret agents…'
-'Oh…yeah…now I get it…'
-'What?'
-'That's why I found passports with different names and their pictures.'
-'Why didn't you tell me about that?'
-'You didn't ask…and besides I only found out recently.'
-'Do you know what organisation they worked for?'
-'Nope. And I don't care…I'm more interest in what happened to me!'
-'Oh…that's easy…after my accident mum and dad came here and they died in an accident in Siberia…'
-'Siberia? I thought it was a car crash here in Japan…'
-'That's what Heihachi told you…you came to Japan too and you managed to find me, but I was recovering from an accident…'
-'I remember that. I had dreams about it.'
-'You were told that I would only wake up after many years…which was a lie, and you asked Dr.B. to put you in cryosleep too, so you would wake up at the same time as me!'
-'Why would I do that?'
-'I don't know…I'm not you! But I know that after that you only woke up in 2009…'
-'Heihachi gave me false memories, didn't he?'
-'Yes. He told you that you were responsible for our accident…for our parents' death and my amnesia…'
-'In return of keeping his mouth shut, he wanted us to work for him.'-Anna finished.
-'You knew?'
-'No…I had dreams…he also wanted me to marry his grandson. First I said no, but when I met Jin…I changed my mind!'
-'You still like him?'
-'I don't think so…'
-'Are you going back to Ireland?'
-'I guess so.'
-'You could stay…'
-'With you and your boyfriend? No way!'
-'Lee's not my boyfriend!'
-'Whatever…That's not my type…you know that!'
-'Now that you won…we don't have to fight anymore.'
-'I wouldn't say that.'
-'Why?'
-'I still hate you. I was a fool by trusting Heihachi, but I still hate you for being mum and dad's favourite.'
-'I wasn't the favourite.'
-'Dad took you with him, whenever he was out on businesses. You travelled with him all the time. And I stayed at home with mum. Sometimes alone…'
-'You were too young, Anna…'
-'I was ten and to be noticed I had to copy you…'
-'Copy me? Was that the reason why you started learning Aikido?'
-'Yes. I made dad pay a private teacher for me when you started practicing Aikido here in Japan. And I also learned how to speak Japanese…'
-'You did that just to be noticed?'
-'They were always worried about you…I was neglected.'
-'No, you were not!'
-'Yes, I was! But it's ok now. I have the house and I won against you!'
-'Fine!'
-'Consider this a truce…but don't stand in my way many times…or I'll have to take drastic measures.'
-'You'll never change!'
-'Neither will you…I'm going out for a drink! See you around!'
Nina watched her sister leaving. Anna was stubborn, but her curiosity was her weak point. Nina had let her win because she knew that otherwise, Anna would never listen to her and she would never talk to her. At least they were in truces, so it wasn't so bad.
Nina knew that in a few months, Anna would be back to know the truth about their parents' death and about the organisation they were working for. Until then, Nina would be waiting.
