(The gong sounded, signaling the beginning of the fight and the crowd went up in cheers. June and Zuko came at each other and Jin opened up with a left jab, jab, jab, jab, and trapped Zuko in his corner hitting him with lefts and right to the body as Zuko tried to move.)

Klay-"Reach and grab her!"

Jin-"Move!"

(She hit him with a left body shot and another shot with a right to the head and the body. She hit him with a combination to the body and then a hook to the face.)

Klay-"Get out of there kid! Move!"

(June continued to hit Zuko with everything she had and had him trapped.)

Jin-"Lee move!"

(Zuko finally landed a jab at her and span out of the corner but with June right behind him. She hit him with jab. Another jab. Jab, jab, jab, jab, jab! Seven unanswered shots from June to Zuko. Then another jab with another.)

Tye-"Finish him!"

(Zuko and June were going at it up close and personal. Hook to the body and hook to the head by June with a hard left from Zuko. Right hand and then a left by Zuko with June firing away at body. Zuko clinches with her, but June with her awesome strength just lifts Zuko up and slams him to the ground.)

Jin-"Lee!"

(Zuko, hurt but not done, gets right back up to fight. June hits him with left and right jab combination. And anther, another! June continues to punish Zuko who keeps trying to find some opening. A left cross then a left hook by June as Zuko charged lands on Zuko's face. Zuko charges but he misses and June grabs him, throws him into a corner, and starts pounding away at his face and midsection with combination after combination.)

Klay-"Lee move! Move!

(The crowd started cheering June's name as she pounded away. Zuko fired back with a right to the face and June hit him back. The traded shots, dodged some, and blocked others as they went to war in the corner with the crowd on its feet cheering June. A final right hook by June and the gong sounds as Zuko tries to clinch with her. She throws Zuko back into the corner and begins to back away into her corner. Zuko walks into his dazed and hurt but still standing.)

Klay-"(While taking out Zuko's mouthgaurd.) What's going on out there Lee? I told you, don't trade with her. She's too strong up close."

Zuko-"But I can't hit her if I don't get close."

Klay-"I know. That's the problem. Get close and fire combinations to her face while bobbing and weaving a bit, then move away from her okay?"

Jin-"She's only human Lee."

Klay-"(Stuffing the mouthgaurd in Lee's mouth.) Hit her and move. Hit her and move."

In the other corner

Tye-"(Stuffing the mouthgaurd in June's mouth.) Jab him and rock his body."

(The gong sounded and the second round began. June peppered Zuko with jabs as Zuko kept moving around June hoping for an opening. Another jab. Then another. June peppered Zuko with left right combination which stunned Zuko sending him backwards against the rope with June pouncing on him. A hard left to the body with a right across his cheek. Zuko moved to the left firing two jabs, which missed, trying to get away but June pushed him into the corner and went to work again. She hit him a left to the face and a jab. Body shot, body shot, head, body, body! June was chopping away at Zuko's body.)

Klay-"Reach and grab her!"

Jin-"Grab her!"

(Zuko tried to superman punch June but missed and Zuko was peppered with two more hard jabs.)

Klay-"Block the jab Lee! What are you doing?"

(June hit him with another jab and then another.)

Tye-"Just hit him."

(Another jab followed by another. Then a right hand sent Zuko to the canvas. He got up and threw a right hook, missing and getting a jab in his nose. He tried again but a one-two combination his nose again. As they circled each other blood started to tingle down Zuko's nose. Zuko tried throwing a right jab but June had the reach advantage. She back up and hit Zuko with left hook and right uppercut to the body. Zuko clinched with her. After a few seconds of the ref came in.)

Ref-"Break!"

(He pushed them away, but as he did June put her fist in Zuko's face.)

Klay-"Come on ref!"

(Zuko circled June.)

June-"(In a sarcastic tone.) Sorry."

(Zuko got angry and tried to charge June. He tried to hit her with a right jab and another but June had the reach advantage. He jumped at her trying to get her with a hook but missed and June pushed him up against the ropes. She hit him with a right to the body followed by another as Zuko desperately tried to protect himself.)

Klay-"Hold her Lee! Hold her!"

(Zuko tried but June grabbed his throat and hit him with a hook. The ref didn't call anything though. June let go but still continued to pound Zuko with punches. A cross by June! A right to the body followed by another, another, another, and another!)

Klay-"Cover up!"

(Zuko blocked a jab and hit June with a left hook followed by a right jab and quickly pushed June away from him. June threw a jab but Zuko was now finally moving his head. Zuko got in close and hit June with a combo to the body and June hit him back with hard shot to the chin and Zuko backed off. She missed two more shots as the gong sounded for the end of round two.)

Klay-"Lee listen, you have to not let her hit you like that. She's killing you with those shots."

Zuko-"I know what I'm doing Klay."

Klay-"Lee, she's hitting you tremendous shots. You have to evade those shots."

In the other corner...

Tye-"I want to see those jabs cut open his face. Stick to the plan; jab him and when he comes close just pound his body. Make him submit."

June-"Don't worry, I've got it down. He's nothing."

Tye-"Just wear him down. He's all yours."

June-"Right."

(The bell sounded again and they went right back at it. June charged Zuko and hit him with a left and Zuko hit her right back. Bobbing and weaving he dodged a few shots and hit her with some of his own. He got her with a right hook as she missed his head.)

Tye-"Push him"

(She charged but missed and Zuko hit her with a hard right hook with an even harder left hook to the face that rocked June's face. Zuko backed off and started circling her again. June fires a jab but misses followed by another failed jab. Zuko continues to circle her as June continues to try and hit Zuko with jabs. One jab makes contact but her follow-up is blocked when Zuko takes his left arm and protects his face. He then quickly throws a good body shot but June's still unfazed. He hasn't hit her much so she isn't really damaged. Right to the body by Zuko but June answers back with a 1-2 to the head.)

Tye-"Now!"

(She pushes Zuko back and throws right hook to that rocks Zuko as he tries to keep himself from falling to the canvas. As he's off balance she throws a hard right hand sending across the ring. June raises her hand triumphantly as the crowd cheers like crazy and the Earth Kingdom leaders clap in approval.)

Ref-"One...Two...Three..."

Klay-"Come on Lee get up!"

(Zuko looked at Jin, worry in her face. He looked back at the ref who was at eight and quickly got back up.)

Ref-"You okay?"

Zuko-"Yeah I'm fine."

(The ref waved his hands and signaled for them to fight.)

Zuko-"That's it? Come on."

(June didn't take insult well. She charged but got a chinful of a fist as Zuko went down to avoid hook. Then a left to the opens up with a couple hard punches to the head and Zuko hits her six pack with a right and a left to the side. June misses badly with a hook and Zuko gets back to circling June. June fires a jab but misses, Zuko still circling her. June tries another jab and Zuko fails to evade, then another makes contact. Zuko tries to pop a jab but misses and June fires a hook that makes contact with Zuko's side. Right-left-right by June sends Zuko sagging to the ropes. He tries to fight his way out but is instead pummeled by June.)

Crowd-"JUNE! JUNE! JUNE!"

(The crowd cheered as June hit Zuko with everything she had.)

Jin-"Lee, fight back!"

(He was trying, but June was just hitting him with everything she had. Zuko let June eat a fistful of a left to June's cheek, rocking her back. June put her glove to her cheek and she could see blood. Zuko, realizing his chance, quickly came at June. Before she realized it she was being hit with right hooks to her other cheek. Again, again, again, he hit her. He hit her with a left hook and then clinched. After a few seconds the ref came in to separate them apart. As he did, June in her anger hit Zuko with a backhand.)

Zuko-"Ref, that's foul."

Ref-"Fight on."

Zuko-"What?"

Ref-"Fight on!"

(Klay shook his head.)

Klay-"Are you blind ref?"

(Zuko was frustrated, but got back to business. June waited for Zuko to come in and when he did she jabbed his nose, but Zuko still kept up the aggression. He started throwing punches trying to hit June while June kept jabbing Zuko. A failed right by Zuko and a strong jab by June. The gong sounded and they walked back to their corners.)

June-"You're going down chump! Hear me! You're going down!"

(Zuko ignored her and sat down on the stool Tycho placed.)

Klay-"Better Lee. See, you cut her and you kept to the game plan. She's not a machine, she's only human. You're doing better, but you still need to watch out for those jabs. You need to protect you face when you're out there."

In the other corner...

Tye-"Your cut isn't bad, you're fine. Look, what am I seeing out there? He's nothing but weakness."

(June nodded a no.)

June-"His body is built like metal."

Tye-"Well so is yours if you forgot. You're stronger than this chump, don't back up. When he comes in you have to hit him with a 1-2. I want to see more of those out there."

(He stuffed the mouthgaurd in her mouth and she got up for the next round.)

In the other corner...

Klay-"You can do this okay?"

Jin-"You can do it Lee."

(Zuko looked at her.)

Jin-"You can do it."

(She kissed him on the cheek and with Klay left the ring.)

Klay-"(Stuffing the mouthgaurd in Zuko's mouth.) Go get her Lee."

(The gong sounded, and with that the beginning of the next round.)

(June and Zuko came out of their corners fighting. Immediately trading punches, they pounded each other with combinations. They were fighting like lions. The whole crowd was on its feet! For thirty seconds they didn't stop punching each other!)

Klay-"Don't stand toe to toe with her!"

Tye-"Get at him!"

(A right to head by Zuko and two uppercuts to the chin of Zuko. June grabbed Zuko and just threw him against the corner and threw a massive hook that sent Zuko falling to the canvas.)

Ref-"One...Two...Three...Four..."

Klay-"Get up!

(Zuko was on his knees as he grabbed the ropes trying to get up.)

Ref-"Seven..."

(Zuko pulled himself up and got in front of the ref who had just reached nine.)

Ref-"You okay?"

Zuko-"Yes."

Ref-"Alright. (He got in the middle of them and waved them off.) Box!"

(June, surprised that he was still standing after that massive punch, had a confused look on her face. Zuko just put his hands up and started circling June.)

Tye-"Stay focused June."

(June put her hands up and got ready to battle. Zuko came in and she threw a jab. He got hit but kept coming, and she threw another that he dodged and threw a lightning fast uppercut to the chin of June followed by left to the body and a right to the body. June tried to hit Zuko back but he bobbed and weaved his way out of 3 punches and started circling her again. Circling for an opening. June jabbed, missing. Three more misses and Zuko gave June a Superman punch. Zuko purposely put himself in a corner and let June try to jab him. He dodged one jab, another, another, another, then bang! He leaped at June and gave her a strong hook and he pushed her against the ropes. He pounded away at the midsection a bit, but June clinched with him and just threw him into the corner he'd been in a second ago. He was off balance and she pounded away at Zuko's face and body. A cross. A right to the head and left to the body! The crime boss, watching the fight with his two bodyguards flanking him, sipped his wine as he smiled.)

Crime Boss' thoughts-"Sweet revenge."

(A left to the head and right to the body by June! Zuko threw two shots to June but she blocked them both and wacked Zuko with a right uppercut just as the bell sounded. Zuko started walking to his corner, but as he was going June wacked him in the face sending Zuko falling to the canvas.)

Klay-"What the hell!?"

(He yelled as he got in the ring. Tycho and Jin got to Zuko while Klay got in the ref's face.)

Klay-"What the hell are you doing?"

Ref-"Get back to your corner now!"

(Klay caught June's attention.)

Klay-"You know this is a fight right?!"

June-"Shut up!"

Klay-"Why don't you just hit him the crotch huh?!"

June-"Maybe I'll do that to you once I'm through with you!"

Klay-"You wish you piece of trash!"

Ref-"Get back to your corner now or I'll call it!"

(Klay backed off and saw to Zuko.)

Klay-"How do you feel?"

Zuko-"Terrible...She's tough."

(Klay slapped Zuko.)

Klay-"Don't let that mentality take over kid. Do want to win!? If you do, you won't think like that. Fear is fire that will consume you if you let it! Remember what it took to get you here, and remember why you're here!"

Ref-"Seconds out!"

(Klay put Zuko's mouthgaurd in and left Zuko alone in the ring with the ref and June.)

Klay-"Just beat the crap out of her."

(The gong sounded and the next round began.)

Reick-"You can do it kid!"

(June attacked Zuko with jab, jab, jab, jab, jab. Another jab. And another. And another. Zuko wasn't blocking them. Instead, he let her hit with another. He shrugged it off while backing off, and signaled for more.)

Zuko-"Is that it?!"

(He pounded his peck, signaling for June to give him more. June waited a few seconds, and threw a jab Zuko dodged. She threw another he dodged by moving away to the right and now started circling June. June moved along the ropes and Zuko just made sure to keep close enough to her. June fired two jabs, but Zuko was unfazed. She was almost in the corner, and immediately Zuko lunged at her, grabbing a hold of her as she hit his face with a left hook. He pushed her in the corner and fired away at the body. Two shots and then a right to the face. June tried to cover up but Zuko was firing shots with ferocious lighting speed, surprising June.)

Klay-"Hit her, hit her!"

Jin-"Go Lee!"

(Zuko wouldn't stop, despite how hard it was becoming to even breathe. He just kept hitting June with powerful shots to the face that June was trying to block, but even though she was blocking them she was still getting hurt.)

Tye-"Get out of there! Get out of there!"

(June couldn't though. She was stuck as Zuko, panting heavily and giving it all, was just firing shot after shot. Zuko fired a few shots to the body and then to head. A powerful shot to the kidney from Zuko and June went down for the first time in her career. The crowd erupted in cheers as June went down on her knee and Long Feng got a look of nervousness.)

Tycho-"Yes!"

Ref-"One...Two...Three...

(June looked at Zuko who gave her a look of fiery intensity. He was here to bring her down.)

Ref-"Seven..."

(June got up and nodded to the ref who asked her if she would still fight. The ref got in between them.)

Ref-"Fight on!"

(Zuko attacked. June fired a jab, Zuko pushed June against the ropes and attacked her with lefts and rights and she fired back just as hard. They didn't let up and were relentless in hitting each other, not blocking just striking! The entire crowd was on its feet cheering the ceaseless violence they saw before them! Standing toe to toe! Neither giving an inch!)

Tye-"Hit him!"

Klay-"Lee don't stand toe to toe with her!"

(Zuko wasn't listening. Instead he was hitting June with everything he had, and June was now desperately trying to protect herself. A right to the head! A right to body, then the head! A right, right, right! A left to the body and then to the head! Seven unanswered shots as Zuko pounded June. June was now the one in trouble as Zuko hit her continually. She tried to clinch Zuko, but Zuko just threw her away from him. The crowd was just going nuts! June was now trying to stay away from Zuko, but now because she was afraid of him. Zuko, tired, stalked her but wasn't as aggressive as he had been. June just kept her distance.)

Klay-"Lee, you have 30 seconds, let it go."

(Zuko didn't listen though. Despite being exhausted, he suddenly ran right at June striking away. He threw a right hook but missed. June fired back with a fist that slammed his face and a shot to the liver. Zuko winced in pain and went down. June raised her hands and the crowd cheered.)

Ref-"One...Two...Three..."

(Zuko had his hand in his side; he got hit hard in the liver.)

Klay-"Stay down. Wait for eight."

Ref-"Six...Seven...Eight..."

(Zuko stood up.)

Ref-"You going to fight?"

Zuko-"Yeah I'm fine."

(Ref got in between them and signaled for them to fight.)

Ref-"Box!"

(Zuko and June strafed each other a bit. June tried to put her hand out there to try and set up some punch but Zuko pushed her hands away. She tried again but he still kept her hands back. Zuko tried to keep away from June. With ten seconds left June tried to set something up. She stuffed Zuko with a jab and tried to follow it up but Zuko dodged it and got away. He threw his own jab to keep June away. He kept throwing jabs to keep June away. June came in and before Zuko could react he was slammed with a hard right hand and staggered back. June hit him with two more hard punches as the bell sounded, but as the ref tried to break them up she shoved him and slammed him with a hard right to the head. Klay, Tycho, and Jin and Tye with his two guys were trying to break them apart while fighting each other. Tycho got Zuko in his corner while Klay and Jin got right in Tycho's face.)

Klay-"What the hell are you doing out there!?"

June-"Get out my face scum!"

Jin-"If you hit Lee so much why don't you try and hit me too while you're at it!?"

June-"Good! I can I can beat your face in again!"

Tycho-"Back off chumps!"

Ref-"Get back to your corner now!"

Klay-"Why don't you tell them that ref?!"

(Reick shook his head)

Mical-"That woman is a piece of garbage."

Ex-theif4-"Yeah, but there isn't anything better than a woman who's beautiful and dangerous."

(The whole group immediately looked at him.)

Ex-theif4-"What?"

(Tycho massaged Zuko while Jin sponged his body with Klay in front of Zuko.)

Klay-"How do your ribs feel?"

Zuko-"Hurt."

Klay-"You see what I mean? You can't engage this girl up front because she will beat you to your knees. You have to be faster than her. Beat her to the punch. Get in and get out. Hit her face or body with a jab and follow it up. You're going to risk getting hit but you won't be constantly engaging her. Make your shots count and rock her."

(In the other corner.)

Tye-"This fight has gone on too long. Listen, you're boring this crowd. Knock this kid out."

(One of the crime boss' bodyguards pushed the guy who was sponging June away.)

Bodyguard2-"What's going on? This fight should not have lasted that long."

Tye-"She's just carrying him. It makes a good show."

Bodyguard2-"Well make sure this round is the finale."

(He walked off back to his boss.)

Tye-"Knock him out."

Ref-"Seconds out! Come on!"

(The crews of both fighters stepped out and the fight was on again as the gong sounded.)

Crime Boss-"Well?"

Bodyguard2-"I told them the problem. They said they were carrying her."

Crime Boss-"This long?"

Bodygaurd1-"They're lying. Something is wrong."

C.B.-" You presume too much."

Bodygaurd2-"But she got knocked down by the kid."

C.B.-"Once. How many times has she been in trouble this fight? She is in control of this fight. Have you not been watching this fight? June has dominated the entire fight."

Bodyguard-"But the kid is still standing."

C.B.-"So? Look at him."

(Zuko is hit with a hard left and right in the corner.)

Klay-"Get out of there! Get out!"

(The crime boss smiled.)

C.B.-"See what I mean?"

(He sipped his wine glass.)

C.B.'s thoughts-"Revenge is so sweet."

(He put his empty glass on the table.)

C.B.-"This is one of the best days of my life. Today, I get my revenge and I get a top fighter all in the same night.

(The gong sounded and Zuko staggered back to his corner while June got cheers from the crowd while she raised her hands triumphantly.)

C.B.-"More wine please."

(Bodyguard1 poured wine into his glass and he sipped his delicious wine.)

C.B.-"This is a wonderful night."

Zuko's corner…

(Klay looked at Zuko. He was a mess. He looked bad. Eleven rounds had gone by, and Lee hadn't won a single round. His sides were red and his ribs were starting to look purple.)

Klay-"You did great Lee. You gave everything. I want to call it though."

(Zuko looked at June, then at Jin, and then back at Klay.)

Zuko-"Klay, I don't care if she breaks my neck, don't stop this fight."

Klay-"Are you sure?"

(Zuko smiled.)

Zuko-"Fights should be stopped by fighters, not doctors or judges. I can do this."

(Klay turned his head away from Zuko, still unsure.)

Zuko-"Have faith."

(Klay looked back at Zuko.)

Zuko-"A little faith goes a long way."

(Klay smiled.)

Klay-"Okay. Go get her."

(Klay placed Zuko's mouthgaurd back in while Tycho and Jin finished icing Zuko's body. Zuko looked over to Jin as he stood up.)

Zuko-"Here comes the finally."

(She smiled.)

Jin-"Go get her."

Zuko-"I will."

(Jin stretched her neck, and got ready to bring the heat.)

Fight Announcer-"Round Twelve!"

Ref-"Fight!"

(The gong sounded and the round began. Zuko literally ran at June who prepared to through a left hook. Zuko hit her with a massive uppercut that rocked June. Then she went still, Zuko hit her with three more shots as Jin fell motionless to the ground. The crowd went crazy as the ref waved the fight away. Zuko couldn't believe it. He jumped into one of the corners and celebrated, way out his usual character. Reick hugged Mical and his buds were jumping out their seats. Zuko was so happy. Klay, Jin, and Tycho came into the ring and were celebrating with Zuko. It was incredible. Zuko had come out of nowhere to knock out June with one shot in twelfth round in a gigantic upset. The crime boss, and his two cronies, couldn't believe it. They were in complete disbelief. Tye was with the still out cold June with the doctor, attempting to wake up June. The ref came to Zuko and brought him to the center of the ring.)

Fight Announcer-"Ladies and gentlemen the referee has called a stop to this fight at the first 5 seconds of the twelfth round, declaring the winner by knockout, Lee "The Warrior!".

(Zuko couldn't believe it. The promoter wrapped around Lee's waist the belt that June had held as champion of Omashu, and Klay, Tycho, and Jin, especially Jin, were going crazy. It was incredible. The crowd was still going wild. June finally woke up.)

June-"What happened?"

Tye-"You got knocked out. You okay."

(The took off her gloves and she covered her face in defeat. Zuko came by to her.)

Zuko-"Good fight."

(The reporters stormed the ring.)

Reporter-"Lee, you pulled it off, how do feel?"

Zuko-"Great, just great."

Reporter-"You've only had two professional fights and you've fought two of the top ten fighters in the world. What do you plan to do with all this momentum?"

Zuko-"I really don't know. I, I don't know."

Reporter-"The odds for you winning were twenty to one, and most considered your last fight to be a complete fluke. How does it feel to silence the critics?"

Zuko-"Good, very good."

Klay-"Back off guys."

(Klay gave Zuko a bear hug.)

Klay-"That's the way to do it kid!"

Tycho-"Alright Lee, great job."

(Jin lifted Zuko off his feet in a big hug. She gave him a huge kiss as she let him down.)

Jin-"I knew you could do it."

(They gave each other a huge embrace. God was looking down on Zuko.)

God-"Good job kid."

The End
