Chapter 3: The Enemy's Target
Both Lee and Hunyo fending off most of the mercenaries with their fighting moves as Domon blindsides Hunyo. Hunyo blocks his kick and they equally exchanging their blows only for Hunyo knock him with a punch to the face.
"Hmph, it is the same punch you made a scar on my face. I'll never forgive that." Domon said angrily and to his surprise Lee was in front of him, unleashing his second unblockable move, Death Touch by charging himself in a pale blue aura to knock him in a greater distance with a single left punch.
"We have to get out of here, Hunyo... Let's go."
Both eventually escaped as Domon stands up while clutching his gut and seeing the people from the game which makes him felt bad as the other soldiers tried to help him but he stopped because he can stand up.
"Sir..."
"Let them be... I'll beat Hunyo for real. I've never seen people from the fighting game are here in our world we lived in. For what purpose they have here." Domon said in a serious tone.
Back at the Panganiban residence, Rhima tries to visit her parents on her room which they overheard what Hunyo tries to tell Marissa about Domon and his group.
"What!? You mean, you wanna let me stay in Binondo for refuge. But Hunyo, we lived peacefully in our home."
"Marissa, It's going to be very dangerous. We are been targeted by Domon and his group of mercenaries. I hate if you and Rhima would become as their victims. That's why I decided to go back to Bangkok to refine my fighting abilities. I'm already older now and I know my age is about to catch up to me." Hunyo said sadly.
"Hunyo, what about Rhima...? She was with you all the time in your trip to Bangkok?" Marissa said which Hunyo closes his eyes in regret.
"She's already in the right age by now and she has her own mind to think of things. In case if Domon would targeted her without a reason. I'm sure that he will use it to provoke me."
After hearing of what her parents had said, Rhima realizes that they were in danger and seeing their home is peaceful but now being targeted by their enemy as she thought.
Are you saying that we're in great danger now, dad?
Rhima needs to think what she can do since they are now targeted by Domon and his mercenary group and remembering the two women who attempted to assassinate her in UST which is also from Domon's group which she had an idea after meeting with the seasoned Wing Chun master she had met during the vacation in the Gigantes Island in Ilo Ilo as she thought it again.
I know how wise the old man had said it to me. I have to let Jin stay there in case if these mercenaries like those two women came to attack me. I got to refine my Wing Chun skills. Where do I go? Not here in the Philippines or in Bangkok at Thailand? I think the tall guy knows.
The next day, Jin wakes up as Lee is with him and seeing that the Panganibans are already left.
"Rhima... where is she?"
"Don't worry, Rhima was still there and I heard that both Marissa and Hunyo had separated to evade our new enemy's attack."
"What!?"
"That bald headed guy with a massive scar on the face. He's the one behind the attack on both me and Hunyo that night. He wanted to massacre Hunyo and his family to avenge his loss on the defunct tournament held in the real world." Lee said informing Jin about their new enemy. "I must warn Lars and Alisa about this situation. I'm sure all of Rhima's close friends needed to guide her in case if she was targeted by him."
At the Thai restaurant in Asturias, Fahkumram knew how trouble she is when she had made her second visit on the restaurant.
"I think Laos is a nice place for your safety, Rhima and it is near in Burma." Fahkumram suggested Rhima to go to Laos because it was the safe place that the enemy would never find her.
"Fahkumram, I think you should accompany her. If these perpetrators would come to the restaurant and attack her on the spot. We have to protect her immediately."
"As for you, you're going to protect my wife and my daughter." Fahkumram reacted while raising his brow until Leroy came in to get some order by ordering a pork Thai fried rice which he pointed on Rom. "Speaking of protection, a customer is here."
Rhima noticed an American Bully was drooling over her presence until Leroy sees her.
"So we meet again... I knew you would decided to learn Wing Chun from me."
"I'm not came here for trying to learn your fighting style. I need some refinement on my fighting abilities." Rhima said in a serious tone which she tells him. "I know Wing Chun is part of my other styles besides Fuin, standard Karate and Taikyoku-ken. Don't tell me that you watched me and Jin fighting those mercenaries."
"It reminds me as how my family was killed 50 years ago. But when I see you use Wing Chun, it needs more refinement. What did you talk to this large Thai man?"
"Just asking about what place to take hiding from a very dangerous mercenary group. He suggested me to go to Laos because it is near Burma in Myanmar." Rhima answered as lowers her head in sadness. "My parents had to be separated to get them to safety. My mom was in Binondo to stay with Mr. Navarro then my dad went to Bangkok to refine his fighting skills."
"Hmmm, so they were dangerous just like those gangs that I managed to beat." Leroy said knowing how trouble Rhima was in and decided to take her training in Laos. "I have a better idea... Vientiane is the capital of Laos but the best suited place for you to be trained in Wing Chun is in Luang Prabang. Mountain areas near the Mekong River will be a very safe place for you to retrain. But don't worry it has some hotel spot for you to rest up."
"Here's your order some Khao Ka Moo (Pork Thai fried rice) and Beef Curry." Rom said and he tells Rhima. "In Luang Prabang, their language in Laotian was the same in Thai but in different alphabets. The problem is their currency the Laotian Kip is the most poorest than in South East Asian countries within their currency. So you need to spend it right away."
"It looks like Sugar noticed you had some problems going on." Leroy said noticing his dog's actions which Rhima responds.
"I believe you and Fahkumram are the characters from the game. I feared if I leave Laos for this, then Jin would be clearly upset to me for leaving him. He and I we already experienced our separation between his world and mine."
"So this Jin fellow is a Mishima?" Leroy finally questions Rhima about Jin which she seriously responds.
"He maybe a Mishima, but he is against his own family. Heihachi was already killed at the hands of his own son Kazuya and now Jin wanted to kill his own father for supremacy."
"Hmmm, so your trip is ready and go. I can see how determined you had become." Leroy said noticing her actions which Rhima calmly nods.
At NAIA 3, Rhima was accompanied by both Fakhumram and Leroy since her life was in danger just like her parents while waiting for the boarding a plane trip to Luang Prabang. Suddenly, most of the airport guards are in a hurry and seeing the commotion. To her shock, the mercenaries are trying to attack the airport to find her but to her surprise, both Jin and Lee are able to fend off the mercenaries. As Jin knocks one of them with his Spine Striker as the symbol of the uniforms referring to his devil form which Lee gets smug on their actions.
"Looks like the bald-headed psychopath won't stop to put Rhima out of commission." Lee said smirking and he looked at Rhima who is relieved. "What are you waiting for, Jin? She must be at the departure area, Go!"
As Jin goes to find her, Lee continues to fend off the mercenaries. Rhima was happy to see them until the mercenaries attempt to attack her which she repels them with her Karate skills. To her surprise, one of them attempts to kill her with a knife only to be uppercutted by Fahkumram followed by a powerful heavy knee to the gut. Rhima was surprised to see how powerful Fahkumram is when he utilizes his Muay Thai moves.
"Are you ok?" Fahkumram said worried in Thai language.
"Yes, I'm all right... I can fend them off too." Rhima answered which makes the latter drags her arm to make a get away. Jin then arrives to see them both as he followed them.
Leroy was waiting for the both of them as he saw them running off and the boarding time is already in.
"What took you so long? I let Sugar to be kept inside the pet carrier within the plane. We're already boarding." Leroy said to both of them until Jin stops them.
"Rhima, stop!"
"Jin..."
"Aren't you gonna leave me again?" Jin said raising his brow because of her actions which Fahkumram tells him.
"She needs to be in the safety place. Those scumbags are just like how my wife and my daughter were ended up being taken hostage by my captors."
"I'm so sorry, Jin. This is my decision to make." Rhima said sadly which Jin gives her some amorous hug and tells her.
"Why didn't you tell me that you're going to leave me, Rhima? Is it because you and your family being targeted by those scumbags? I'm going to protect you, I'm not gonna let this happen like I did to my mother."
"You two... we need to go."
"Rhima, listen... we maybe separated, but I would follow you whenever you go." Jin said willing to follow her whenever she goes which she nods in agreement as she goes with Fahkumram and Leroy to board the plane to Luang Prabang.
Back at the terminal, Lee was waiting for Jin as he arrived to see the mercenaries were apprehended while others are taken from the ambulance.
"How did it go?"
"I told her that I will follow her whenever she goes." Jin answered sadly which Lee supports him.
"I'll inform Lars and Alisa to tell her friends so that Rhima will be safe. Hunyo has his reasons because two of his friends would gladly to assist him too."
As Lee contacts Lars about their current situation, Jin is determined to follow Rhima whenever she goes as he thought.
How far will you go, I will follow you to the end, I'll protect you, Rhima.
At Sathorn Gardens, Hunyo taking on a rigorous training along with Rolento and Sally are there to train as well in order to prepare against Domon and his Black Devil Organization. Therefore, Kazuya was watching from afar after seeing another new threat that came to their world as he thought.
After all my father died at my own bare hands, It appears that I would glad to assist you again in an unsuspecting way.
