From a Scorching Soul, to a Rising Dragon
Chapter 4:Express Yourself
Description: Jann is after revenge
Author's Notes: Jeet Kune Do is not a fighting style, its a way of life, no fighting style is the best, because its all depends on the inner soul of the person, how they fight, not what they fight with. Become like water, the abilty to adapt, I made this because I realized Jann Lee has fallen (or has always been on) the dark side of Martial Arts, fighting to win, so I thought he goes under a Bruce Lee like training to realize his full potential. Also Jeet Kune Do is a fighting style thats freeform, infact the only freeform fighting style that allows the user to adapt to a differen situation, not just 1 thing for 1 situation. And Jann Lee's 3rd costume in DOA4 isn't based on Kill Bill you f'in n00bs, its based on what Bruce Lee wore in his last movie, The Game Of Death.Many of you people reading this probably has no idea of what the yellow track suit represents. but for those of you ignorant ones I shall tell you what it means, due to my Quick Lesson's on Bruce Lee sections.

"NO WAY IS MY WAY NO LIMITATION IS MY LIMITATION"
Hakim's Boat House, January 21st 2016Hakim piled Jann Lee and his men inside his boat house where a pot of tea was boiling. The aroma of the tea semi-woke up Jann's men, but Jann layed there unphased.
Edison groaned as he took a couple of pain killers from his pocket and swallowed them. Hai Tien poured himself a cup of tea while Hakim went into the back and drank some Gatorade. Hai Tien poured some tea into a cup and handed it to Jann.
"Tea?"
Jann grabbed the cup and threw it aside
"So arrogant"
Jann Lee yelled ,"Why the hell are you offering me tea! I'm not your friend!"
"But you are not my foe"
"But you're my enemy!"
"And why is that?"
"Because you defeated me! and I swear I'll get revenge!"
"And why is it so important to win?"
"Because thats why a person fights! to win!"
Jun groaned, "Not so loud Jann I have a headache"
"Shut the fuck up", Jann kicked Jun with what little energy he had
Hai Tien sighed, "Whats so wrong with losing?"
"Because! losing shows you are weak!"
"Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't"
"Start making sense!"
"Like all the others you want to win, but to learn to lose, to learn to die! that is the key, to learn the art of dying!"
"That makes even less sense!"
Hakim put on some sandals and adjusted his sunglasses, "I'm gonna go get a bite to eat, want anything?"
Jun spoke out, "Oh get me some Dim sum"
Edison slapped Jun, "Jun!"
"what did I do? I'm hungry"
Hai Tien took a sip of his tea, "As I was saying, your mind is full of ambition, you can't stand to lose"
Jann interrepted, "Because if I lose then I'm weak and I swore never to be the weak little boy I once was!"
"Not always true, to accept defeat, can be more honorable then winning"
"What do you mean?"
"If you lose what do you do?"
"Get pay back!"
"Then what? what have you gained?"
"Um..well..."
"You see?"
"But what if you..."
"If you win a fight what do you gain then?"
"See? but when you accept defeat, you can learn from you're mistake's, you can see how you are limated and destroy those limitations, you can see your technique and perfect them so the next time you fight you will have no doubts, and if you have no doubts in your mind, you can succeed to the point of perfection at whatever you do"
"How can I learn this? Can you teach me?"
"I cannot teach you, only help you find and express yourself"
"I'm willing to empty my cup to taste your tea Mr.Tien"
"Wise words but like I said, I cannot teach you"
"But you had to learn from someone, you weren't born learning how to take apart 5 men in a matter of seconds!"
"True but I have found the source of my ambition"
"Then help me find mine"
Later that evening, Jann Lee's apartment, January 21st 2016
Lei Fang was eating a popsicle while watching TV then she heard the door to apartment open, she popped her head out from the couch and screamed, "JANN LEE WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN! OH MY GOD YOUR IN WORST SHAPE THEN LAST TIME! NOW WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT FIGHTING THAT MAN?"
Jann slouched his way to the couch and layed down, "What are you my mom?"
"Fine! whatever I just wont take care of you this time"
"Like I need your help anyway", he turned his head to the TV, "Whats this crap your watching anyway?"
Cardcaptor Sakura was playing on the TV, "Hey I like anime ok!"
"It's just drawing's, oh...ha I knew it you're pedophilac lesbian! just look at what you are watching!"
"It's better then what you watch!" Lei Fang threw a stack of porn DVD's on Jann Lee's chest, "No wonder you never pick up any girls from the clubs you work at! you're to busy watching porn!"
"There's nothing wrong watching porn!"
"But not this much!"
"So what! its just 10 DVD's!"
"I counted them! there's 47!"
"S..so?"
"And look at your Tivo!", she turned on his Tivo it is filled with porn and various type's of fighting event's, "It's all porn!"
"B..but...But you what were you doing looking at my porn!"
"I was just...curious thats all.."
"Curious about your sexuallity! you freaking lesbian!"
"Stop calling me that!"
"Why should I? its what you are!"
"So what if I was a lesbian? whats wrong with that?"
"In that case why don't you go out with that Hitomi girl and make out with her or something!"
"Fine I will!", Lei Fang left the apartment and slammed the door
Jann Lee smiled and called up Jun, "Hey Jun, it worked dude! get the camera we got some lesbian action to film!"
Just then Lei Fang came back in the apartment, "Hey you tricked me!"
"Tricked you into doing what?"
"Into saying I was a lesbian and I was going to make out with Hitomi!"
"Suuuuuuuuuuuuure I did"
"Don't get like that with me pervert! you're the one you jack's off to porn and sweaty guys fighting all day!"
Jann Lee and Lei Fang's bickering went on that entire night until they finally agreed that Lei Fang is not a lesbian and Jann Lee does not watch porn all day.
Quick Lesson On Bruce Lee: Although Bruce Lee say's to free your ambitious mind and learn to accept defeat, he never lost a fight except for one. Bruce Lee was still a child (around 8-11 years old) when he was mugged and beat up while walking down a street in Hong Kong, then his father introduced him to Sifu Yip Man, who taught Bruce Wing Chun Gung Fu and about philosophy. Bruce saw Yip Man as a fighter greater then Bruce was.
