It was a still scene across the rather desolate and tranquil area whereabouts a dilapidated temple lied. Within this temple, a well-built Chinese man of muscle known as Feng Wei balanced a number of teacups upon his hands in silence with his eyes closed, not once breaking his stance.
The name of said temple has been lost to time, but a new signboard placed near the entrance identifies this temple as the...Kazama-style Traditional Martial Arts Dojo? That does not seem fitting...
Cue the robust fighter and self-acclaimed peacemaker, Asuka Kazama. Asuka had spent a great deal of time and effort tracking this place down, and she was not leaving without taking back the sign of her father's dojo. The sign which Feng Wei had taken after besting the dojo's students as well as Asuka's father. But Asuka herself was a fierce and diligent fighter and she was going to seek justice, for her father and her dojo.
Standing at the entrance, Asuka's blood was boiling at the mere sight of the man who vandalized her dojo. After travelling a long way, it was time for some vengeance. Asuka pumped her fists in excitement just thinking about it. Thus, with a big grin on her face, she strode into the temple.
With a sharp point towards the still-meditating Feng, Asuka's voice boomed throughout the temple. "Feng Wei! You're going to pay for what you did to my dojo! And my father!"
Not a word, twitch or movement from Feng, who continued to balance his cups in his stance with his eyes still shut.
This only made the hot-headed young woman even more livid. Must be some psychological warfare, Asuka thought. Well she was not gonna let Feng get inside her head, and cracked her knuckles with a smirk. "Scared silent, huh? I've got a knuckle sandwich coming to go with your tea!"
Once again, not the slightest response from Feng. As if Asuka was not even there.
Well then, enough talk. It was time to finally enact revenge. With a roaring shout, Asuka charged forward with might. "You're gonna get hurt!"
Asuka lunged forward for the punch. In an instant, Feng launched the teacups in the air and spun to dodge the charged-up strike. Asuka just ended up sprinting forward with the blazing momentum almost making her trip over herself, but she stopped herself quickly.
The young woman would fume as she turned to see Feng right back in his previous meditative stance as all the cups gracefully landed back onto his hands. As if nothing happened.
"Tch..." Asuka was not having this, and so immediately rushed back to pop another punch towards Feng...only the same thing happened. Feng sent the cups flying in the air and he thrusted his arms to block the punch.
"Y-you're so going down..." Asuka tried to send a sharp kick to Feng, however the man quickly blocked it away. He sensed that the teacups were beginning to make their descent, and extended his palms to shove Asuka back, inadvertently sending her flying straight to a wall.
After all that, Feng Wei resumed his stance as the cups settled back into their positions. As for Asuka, a loud impact was heard as she crashed into the entrance wall. "Damnit..." She chided as she quickly got up. An attack like that isn't enough to get Asuka Kazama down.
Despite her boiling dismay, even Asuka could see this was going nowhere. She could not spend all day here, as she knew she had to teach some classes at the dojo later. Shaking her head with a fume, she yelled out to the ever-so-still Feng. "Well I'll be taking back my sign now, thank you very much!"
Feng's continued lack of response very much aggravated Asuka, but ultimately she was just pleased to finally bring the sign back to her dojo. "Whatever..." With a shrug, she kicked the ground in a mild annoyance.
It just so happened that the slight kick somehow managed to tilt one of Feng's teacups and drop it to the ground with a shatter. Then, Feng Wei's eyes suddenly opened. His eyes locked onto one target - Asuka Kazama.
Asuka was slightly unnerved by the change in Feng but stood her ground.
"You dare interfere with my training?" Feng finally spoke with what seemed to be a mix of irritation and amusement to his voice. "When did you get here?"
"About time you took me seriously- What!?" Asuka was flabbergasted. "I've been fighting you for the last minute you buffoon!" She fumed.
"Oh. I thought it was a raging wind." Feng stated. "Anyways, you will be demolished for interrupting my training." He gave a curt nod as he readied himself into his fighting stance.
"Pfft! Come and get me!" Asuka got over her annoyance and pumped her fists with a smirk. "At long last I'll get to pummel you! You sure you wanna fight me?"
"I accept your challenge!" Feng stated as he proceeded to rush forward.
"You asked for it!" Asuka yelled as she proceeded to rush forward.
It was like the impacts of booming thunder as Asuka and Feng went on to trade a bountiful amount of blows, of which neither could truly connect due to the two fighters' formidable blocking technique.
A punch from Asuka would be followed with a sharp block from Feng. A kick from Feng would be followed with a quick block from Asuka. The two were tit-for-tat, blow-for-blow. Eventually, Asuka was able to see the briefest of openings and got in a quick and precise jab. It was not much but the strike sent Feng back a bit.
Feng Wei was unfazed and took a brief moment to correct his stance.
Asuka Kazama was all fired up with energy and she was ready to dish out an ass-whooping of justice.
Only to be interrupted as she got a sudden tap on her shoulder. "Yoohoo!" An all too familiar vexing voice called out, as Asuka turned to see none other than Emilie 'Lili' Rochefort, that one young lady that just could not let her tournament loss go and has been toying with Asuka since. Asuka was in utter shock.
"Lili?!" Asuka yelled aghast. "W-what on earth are you doing here?"
"I'm boooooored." The Monegasque princess gave a playful pout. "Come, away we go." Lili clapped her hands. "I feel like looking at cats."
"A-are you freaking kiddin' me?" Asuka gave an exasperated sigh. "I'm in the middle of a fight! With my biggest rival of all-time!" She scoffed.
Lili tilted her head as she clasped a hand on her cheek. "Wha? Oh ho ho, you jest! For I am your biggest rival!" She stated, crossing her arms with a huff.
"J-just get out of here! I don't have time for this!" Asuka seethed.
Asuka was about to find out just how right she was about that. Turning around, her eyes widened as the hardened fist of Feng Wei was rocketing straight to her face. "Oh god..." Asuka let out a gulp.
WHAM!
