Chapter 17: The Big Finale
It's the fifth day of the finalist competition which is also the finale of the battle to determine who's gonna stand out on top. Musaki was definitely excited to go for this and he was also happy to hear that not only will the finalists battle each other, but each one will battle Musaki. As he entered into the Rai Song Stadium, a very surprising face made an appearance out of flippin' nowhere when he spotted someone talking to Shao.
And he was shocked to see that that someone is...
"Arizona?"
Suddenly, Arizona turns around and his face lit up when he saw Musaki coming by and both of them exclaimed happily as they hugged each other, because Musaki did not expect Arizona to come by and support him. He looked at him and asked, "How'd you get here?"
Arizona chuckled softly and he replied, "I thought I might come by to not only surprise you, but support you. And I get to see your skills at work."
Musaki had to wonder if Shifu and the others know that he was here and he asked, "Does Shifu know you're here?"
"Yeah, he did. He noticed that on my letter that I wished I could see you compete, so he gave me a few days off training and here I am." Arizona answered.
Musaki was very happy to hear this for Arizona to come out and support him and said, "With you around, I think I'm gonna need all the support I can get."
Arizona nodded his head in agreement and said, "Good luck, Saki-dude. Kick serious ass, man."
Musaki rolled his eyes at that, but decided to take it anyway and said, "I'll try."
Later on, Arizona got into the audience and saw Cody, Samurai, Tsunami, Shao and Phoenix, sitting on the front row where he can see all the action take place. They were, except for Shao, surprised that he came there as he sat down in between Shao and Phoenix and Cody looks over and said, "Arizona, how long have you been here?"
Arizona looks at Cody and replied, "Late last night. Spent the night at Shin Hai's place."
Shao chuckled at him and said, "It's like me and Arizona had a little sleepover party for guys."
Tsunami rolled his eyes on that comment and asked, "Why weren't we invited?"
And suddenly, Phoenix looks over at Arizona and he said, "Also, we got a little surprise for ya."
Arizona stares at Phoenix to see what the surprise is and suddenly, all he got was a little tap on the shoulder and when he turned around, he sees a little tiger cub sitting behind him in the other row and to his surprise, it was Max.
"Hi, Arizona!" Max exclaimed.
Arizona could not believe what he was seeing...Max was in the audience behind his adopted brothers and Shao and he said, "Hey, little buddy! I didn't know you were here!"
"I've been here with my dad and my brothers rooting for Musaki for almost two weeks. I can't believe you're here." Max said, happily.
"It's awesome seeing you here." Arizona responded.
Max smiled a little and asked, "Did you like your surprise?"
Arizona lets out a smile and he said, "I was very surprised. Glad you could come."
Just then, the battle was about to start and as Oak Sung comes in the arena, there were mounds of cheers and applause all around the stadium, just looking forward o see this entire battle. Just then, he said, "Hello, everyone! I am glad to see that you're all here! Today, we're gonna go two directions; the final battle with the contestants and I've added in a bonus; my grandson will battle with the remaining finalists."
The crowd roared with intense cheering after that announcement and everyone was feeling the excitement pouring in. Then, Oak Sung graciously announced, "And now...once again, our six finalists!"
And with that, the crowd bursted with excitement as the finalists came to the stage and they cheered for Liu Shang, Mojag, Kang-Dae, Musaki, Jaa and Taji. Arizona rooted for Musaki and gave him a thumbs-up for good luck and Musaki responded with a thumbs-up as well and as they all faced each other, Oak Sung said, "All righty then...Taji will take on Jaa, Mojag on Kang-Dae and my grandson will take on Liu Shang."
Hearing the latter part made Musaki feel ready and Liu Shang more determined than ever and before the battle starts, Musaki and Liu Shang each gave each other a handshake to wish themselves the best of luck throughout this challenge and with the sound of a gong, the battle is on!
Jaa got on his stance as he was ready to bring Taji down a notch with his agility and quick moves as he charged him down in all fours, but he was stopped when Taji kicked him in the air and did a backflip as he landed on his back. Jaa threw him down on the ground and went straight for punching, kicking and shoving down in every chance he gets. But as soon as Jaa was ready to scratch him, Taji quickly charged at him and struck him with his head.
Taji snickered at Jaa as he was about to flip him down to the ground, but Jaa scratched him in the face and kicked him in the shin. Taji groans in pain, but he gets himself up and continues on sparring him as he grabbed him in a headlock and pummeled him down to the ground with multiple rounds of kicks and throws in the face.
Jaa began fuming with rage as he lets out another roar and grabbed a hold of Taji's arms and pinned him to the ground and kicks him in the nuts, but Taji kicks him in the stomach as well as he does a twist/spin directly towards Jaa's back.
Taji chuckled softly and said, "Powned!"
Next up, Mojag gets himself ready as he was set to take down Kang-Dae and the jackal was ready to take what is rightfully his...victory. Kang-Dae showed Mojag his gritting teeth to show who is boss and all the young boar could say was, "Man, you got problems."
"Shut up! Prepare to lose!" Kang-Dae barked.
Kang-Dae wasted no time charging at Mojag and he punched, kicked, shoved and threw him all around the stadium and when he repeated it again, Mojag grabbed Kang-Dae's fist and threw him to the other side of the arena and flipped him all around. The young boar then did a backflip and headed straight for his face as he kicked him as hard.
Mojag was about to try his new manuever, but Kang-Dae grabs his leg and just threw him to the ground and pounded him multiple times and slammed him down to the ground. The jackal flipped him down over and over and over again, but Mojag stopped him dead in his tracks as he bit on the jackal's paw and kicked him in the butt.
Kang-Dae snarled at him and he completely beat him down in total with multiple amounts of brutality and punched Mojag in the nose, jaw and groin. As Mojag fell down on the ground, Kang-Dae smirked at the boar and said, "Finally got my victory!"
Lastly, Liu Shang faces off with Musaki as both of them stared at each other, ready to throw down with each other, but there was nothing they could ask for than to compete with each other again to show off their skills. Liu lets out a smirk at him and he said, "Ready for me, panda?"
Musaki smiles at Liu and he responded, "Let's do this, young lion warrior."
The term 'young lion warrior' seems to fit Liu Shang very easily and he graciously took that title and as the gong strikes, Liu Shang quickly leaps at him and shoves him down, but Musaki stopped him in his tracks by grabbing his fist and throwing him to the other side of the stadium. Liu Shang gets himself up and goes with the kicks, punches and front flips aimed directly at Musaki.
Musaki charges at the young lion with full force as he uses his spin and tumble moves by jumping in the air and flips him down to the ground. Liu snarls and gets himself back up and pins him down, rolling around the stadium, but Musaki shoves him down and bodyslams him. Liu pops out of him and he does a 360-degree twist spin where he spins his entire body around and knocks him down for the count.
Then, Liu comes at him with some punches, but Musaki quickly dodged every single one of them and instead head-butts him. Then, Musaki kept going by doing some backflip kicks and a corkscrew move that sent him towards the wall. But Liu wasn't ready to give up yet.
He immediately charges at him quickly and pins him down again and continued with more moves than anyone's ever seen. Arizona was surprised at not only how quick Musaki is, but the young lion got come crazy moves also. Liu Shang spun himself around and lands several quick punches thrown at Musaki, but suddenly...Musaki leaps out of nowhere and he does a backflip where he sent himself to the air and falls down, spinning his entire body down and lands on Liu Shang on the chest.
All Liu could do was lay there, but he gets himself back up and finishes Musaki off by kicking him in the face and landing him to the ground. Musaki gets himself up and starts panting heavily and to their surprise, the crowd cheered for both of them because they had the best freakin' moves they ever witnessed in years.
Liu Shang looks at Musaki for a bit and he could see that he's got a lot of stuff and said, "Pretty cool, Musaki."
Musaki smiles at Liu Shang as he too was awestruck by his amazing moves...for someone so young. He chuckled softly and said, "Dude, I tip my bandana to you...the best warrior."
Liu couldn't help but be so humbled by this and they both ended up bowing to each other, showing they still have respect for each other and their skills.
Oak Sung then comes out and said, "That was amazing! Liu Shang...you're the first to take down my grandson on this round. Since doing so, you can let Taji, Mojag, Jaa and Kang-Dae battle him today. Congratulations."
Musaki chuckled softly and said, "Dude, that means you can watch the whole thing with the audience since you already sparred with me."
Liu Shang nodded his head in agreement and he said, "Good luck, buddy."
Now...Musaki is going solo for taking down the rest of the finalists! Liu Shang had his turn and now it's gonna be awesome! You have any song suggestions that describes this chapter?
