Chapter 18: Battling with Musaki

As the second leg of the battle began, Musaki was anticipating for this moment to come forth where he had to take down the remaining finalists; Taji, Mojag, Jaa and Kang-Dae since he already started off battling Liu Shang earlier. He looks up at the audience and sees Liu sitting towards the front row close to the arena and Liu gave him a thumbs-up to wish him good luck and Musaki smiled in response for that.

Soon enough, the announcer came forward and said, "First in line to battle Musaki...is Taji!"

The crowd roared with excitement when they heard that Musaki's gonna take down Taji and believe it or not, he's got some tricks up his sleeve that he will most likely use for this competition. And when Taji came out of the arena, he was looking forward for this moment to occur. Taji looked up at Musaki with a challenged yet ready look on his face like this is it.

"Are you ready for this, Musaki?" asked Taji.

Musaki smiled at him and replied, "Oh, yeah!"

As the gong sounds, Taji came running towards him and planned to tackle him, but Musaki got out of the way by leaping right behind him and the young wolf went around to wrestle him, but Musaki threw him towards the ground as far as he could. Taji went over and brought him some kicks, flips, twists, spins and punches landing on Musaki, but Musaki either dodged or missed some of the efforts Taji made trying to make his move in.

Musaki grabbed ahold of Taji's fist and threw him towards the other side of the arena and bodyslammed him towards Taji's back. Taji quickly got him off by using his back and he pins him down to the ground, but Musaki slipped out underneath him and came out of the wolf's way, intensifying the crowd's massive applause and cheers.

Taji snuck behind Musaki, planning to flip him but ultimately, Musaki grabbed Taji's fist and flipped him down to the ground as well. Arizona, Shao, Cody and Samurai cheered for Musaki after that move and Samurai started laughing heartily and said, "This dude didn't even see it coming! Musaki's too smart for him."

"Yeah, Saki don't play around anywhere." Arizona added.

Both Taji and Musaki came around sparring each other and with every effort, Musaki would dodge and Taji would also dodge as well and they threw in frontflip kicks, lean back to avoid getting hit and leaped towards each other. Then, Taji comes forward and grabs Musaki in a headlock, planning on punning him for the count, but Musaki found a way to break free, he stomped on Taji's toe and kicked him in the face.

Then, Musaki comes running in and he slams Taji down with his belly, throwing him further from the walls and Taji landed on Musaki, punching him in the jaw, but is still on his feet. Both of them started panting really heavily and as the gong sounds, time was up.

The crowd cheered loudly as ever, praising Musaki's newfound skills and putting them to good use and as Taji looks up, he chuckled softly and said, "Man, you know your way around using your moves."

"It's a gift." Musaki replied.

Next up, Mojag comes forward to take Musaki down, which is something he was definitely excited to do so and once again, he did it with his shirt off, showing off the muscles and pecs to the audience, much to their astonishment and some to their disgust and Musaki was completely considered it really annoying and he said, "Must you show them off? This ain't a fashion show, dude."

Mojag snorts at Musaki and said, "I've brought my own stamina for this."

Musaki rolled his eyes at Mojag after making that claim and he asked, "Yeah, but who wants it?"

Half of Musaki's friends responded with a 'whoa!', like he's really serious and Mojag took that as an insult and he said, "Dude, you don't wanna mess with me! I'm still the real badass!"

With that, he charged at Musaki with his tusks, but Musaki rolled out of the way and made a kung-fu pose and forced him to come here and Mojag quickly obliged to do so and Musaki drive-kicked him in the nose and fell down to the ground. The young boar gets himself back up and goes at it again, only this time...he's bringing out all the punches and kicks he can give him.

But apparently...none of them seem to bring Musaki down as he still stood there, with barely a mark on him. He asked, "Ya through now?"

Then, he went forward and just did a twirl and kicked him in the nose and as he was watching Mojag fall down, he could see that he's still not giving up. The young boar charged him down and he grabbed Musaki's wrist and threw him towards the wall. For what it looked like a mere second, he was unconscious. The crowd was stunned when he was knocked out hard and all Mojag could do is let out a smirk and plan to finish him off. But as he was walking towards him, Musaki slowly opened his eyes and waited for the right time to use a little sneak attack against him.

As Mojag planned to kick him, Musaki quickly grabbed his leg, leaving the crowd startled but awestruck to see that he's still fighting and just turned around and saw a very stunned, shocked and pissed off Mojag in disbelief thinking he was still knocked out and he asked, "Thought I was done?"

Then, he got up and did a furious spin-around move and threw him down to the ground hard, leaving the crowd roaring with a big cheer for Musaki, like he owned this round. He could hear the cheerings of Kiba, Hige, Toboe, Tsume, some of Musaki's cousins and friends, rooting for him.

Arizona could not be any happier for Musaki and he said, "Win this competition, man!"

Next up, he was up against Jaa and the young tiger knew that this was all business as he was still determined to break him down even further after the last attempts to and Jaa showed his fangs towards Musaki and said, "If I have to win, I will thrash your panda butt down a notch...harder and more painful!"

Musaki wasn't deterred by Jaa's remarks and he only said, "Dude, go ahead. I don't care."

Musaki knew he was gonna take Jaa down anyway and Jaa was looking forward to crushing him more than anything, so he wasted no time charging at him and he just kicked, punched, shoved and planned to claw him down, but Musaki grabbed his wrist and threw him across the arena and he got down on the ground and rolled him down like it was no one's business much to the crowd's complete amazement.

Jaa furiously roars at him and slammed him down, threw him, punched him and backflipped kicked him down, trying to do everything he can to make sure that Musaki messed with the wrong person, but obviously, Musaki is the most skilled of all the finalists and has the driving force to bring it on home and Jaa pounced on his back, trying to choke him down, but Musaki spun his head around to release him from his grip and once he got him off, Jaa still came forward to just beat him down with his moves and pinned him down again.

"You are still gonna regret making me lose more than once! Now you will see what that feels like!" Jaa shouted, angrily.

"Dude, it's a competition. You can't always win at everything. You can try, but..."

Musaki grabbed Jaa's fist and broke him off his grip and kicked him in the rear end and dodged every kick Jaa would attempt to try to and tripped his leg, losing his balance and falling down.

Musaki then came to him and said, "...there's always gonna be someone better."

Jaa seethes at him and planned to tackle him again, but in a reverse effect, Musaki pins Jaa down himself and said, "What goes around comes around, man."

All of the crowd rooted for Musaki and he looked up at the crowd and basked in his glory of a clear victory, but nothing changed him as he is still honored to be in the competition.

Lastly, Musaki dodged every move that Kang-Dae would throw at him and when the young jackal tries to bring him down, all Musaki could do is to not let him get in his way and focus on finishing the task.

"You're not gonna bring me down!" Kang-Dae shouted.

Kang-Dae flipped him down and tried to punch him in the nose and mouth, but Musaki used every ounce of moves he could muster, especially when he used his small yellow-blue orb that came out of his hands and thrashed Kang-Dae down hard.

Somehow, Kang-Dae was hit, but he still kept going regardless and as the jackal tried to punch him again, Musaki missed it again, leaving Kang-Dae almost falling down and once he got back up on his feet, Musaki drive punched him and head-butted him as hard as he could.

Musaki's growing determination frustrated Kang-Dae because regardless of his moves, he still gets himself back up on his feet and he said, "Why won't you give up?"

Musaki only stared at him for a moment and he said, "No need to. Because a competition is a competition. And to me, it doesn't matter if I win or lose. It matters if I can finish the job."

Kang-Dae wanted to end this job quickly and swiftly and as he planned to finish him down, Musaki jumps up in the air and kicks him in the butt hard. The entire crowd started cheering loudly and even Liu Shang was convinced that he might be the clear winner because of his determination and perseverance and it was rubbing off on the entire crowd.

Oak Sung comes forward and gives Musaki a round of applause and he said, "My grandson, ladies and gentlemen!"

Musaki looks at his grandfather with a smile and when he saw his grandfather smile back, he could tell that he's proud of his grandson...no matter what.

"Come tomorrow evening, we will find out who wins the entire competition! And I just want you all to know that no matter who comes out on top, you are all winners in your hearts. Just be proud of yourselves for coming this far and most importantly, you are all your own warriors."

Soon enough, Liu Shang came in the arena along with Taji and stood beside Musaki for his support as well as Max, Arizona, Shao, Shin Hai, Cody, Samurai, Tsunami, Manny, Kato, Kiba, Hige, Toboe, Tsume, Phoenix and Mako to give Musaki a huge support system. That to him, is considered a big victory.
