Semi-Finals with a Twist
Kazuya stepped into the master box and took his seat. He looked up at Takeshi before finally speaking.
"I heard an interesting story;" He stated. "Apparently the man who was supposed to kill Nina Williams, was found dead in the laundry room of the hotel."
Takeshi nodded and sighed. "Yes sir, he seemed to fail to understand that she would have cleverly concealed weapons."
Kazuya rolled his eyes.
"Idiot; well we'll see what happens here. Maybe I'll get lucky and avoid this unpleasantness again." He paused before adding. "Maybe I can avoid my problems all together...Takeshi, have this message delivered to the announcer. Tell him to be as extravagant as he likes, but he has to reveal it slowly...draw out the suspense."
Takeshi nodded and took the message before leaving. Kazuya turned back to the ring; he smirked, they were down to the semi-finals, however since there was now five fighters, one fighter would have to fight an extra match. At least that's what the crowd and the fighters thought; Kazuya had other plans. The announcer stepped up onto the ring; he looked up and nodded to Kazuya to confirm he had received the message. At that point Takeshi returned; Kazuya had to commend the man for his efficiency, if nothing else. The announcer then prepared his microphone and got ready to begin the semi-finals.
The announcer smiled and began.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" He called out, the crowd cheered loudly and he continued. "Welcome to the Semi-Finals of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2! Now, to make things more interesting, a slight...twist to the rules has been added!
There were excited murmurs about this; the announcer then clarified.
"Regardless of the outcome of these matches; the last two fighters will automatically fight the final match today, rather than tomorrow!" He paused and then added. "That's not the only twist; the semi-finals themselves have been changed!"
The crowd gasped at this, wondering what else could have happened.
"Rather than have single matches and have one fighter fighting an extra match. It had been declared that these Semi-Finals shall be an all out battle royale!" The announcer then revealed. "The last two standing will go on to the finals and will get a half hour break before their fight."
Hearing this news the crowd went wild and; following the instructions given the five remaining fighters stepped out into the ring. Jun was the first to arrive; looking shocked at what she had just heard, it also seemed like something else was on her mind. She was followed by Heihachi, then Lei and Nina and finally Paul; they all took places in the ring, ready for the battle royale to start.
Once again Kazuya found himself distracted by Jun; he found himself lost in thought.
"Could she really be...what Wang said she was...This; Chosen One?" He muttered under his breath; Takeshi looked at him confused.
"Sir?"
"It's nothing, I'm fine."
He forced himself to focus on the match, rather than on Jun. The announcer called out, announcing each fighter's name, to different levels of applause. It was instantly clear that Jun and Nina were favourites with the male members of the crowd. Once he had finished he called for the start of the match and leapt out of the ring as the battle royale began. Nina and Paul moved first; Nina heading straight for Jun, singling her out as the most reluctant. Paul charged straight for Heihachi; determined to defeat him like he wanted to in the last tournament. Heihachi stood his ground however and as Paul attempted to strike he struck first. He launched a devastating punch which caught Paul in the stomach and launched him back. Jun blocked Nina's strike and countered with one of her own; Nina however blocked that strike herself. Lei then leapt into the fray, going after Heihachi; however Heihachi spun around and kicked Lei in the chest, before striking him with a right splits kick. After some more intense fighting Paul, Lei and Nina backed off from their opponents who stood waiting. Nina glared at Jun, although she was more curious than angry.
'She's acting defensively...yet she seems to be stronger than she's letting on. What is she up to?'
Paul and Lei both glared at Heihachi and then nodded to each other, deciding to team up and take him down together.
Nina charged towards Jun, but this time Jun was ready; she spun out of the way of Nina's attack and performed her cartwheel kick which caused Nina to grunt in pain. Nina kicked backwards but Jun spun out of the way and spun twice more before delivering a powerful kick which staggered Nina and sent her stumbling over the edge and out of the ring. Nina was now out of the tournament. Jun turned to Heihachi who was holding his own against Lei and Paul. Heihachi then used his Lightning Hammer and struck Paul knocking him to the ground, unconscious. Finally Jun struck Lei with a flying kick and knocked him out of the ring. The announcer stepped forwards.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners of the semi-finals; Jun Kazama and Heihachi Mishima!"
The crowd cheered wildly as Paul was taken to hospital and Jun and Heihachi returned to their locker rooms. Kazuya sent a few notes out; one to Yoshimitsu and another to Lei; informing them that he now gave his consent for them to act on the duties they had been assigned. They immediately headed to the hotels where Kunimitsu and Bruce were staying. They both came to dispense their own brand of justice; Yoshimitsu sought to take Kunimitsu's life. Lei sought to arrest Bruce for his murder charge.
Yoshimitsu stepped off the elevator and headed down to the room where Kunimitsu had been under lockdown. He approached the door cautiously, anticipating any traps that might await him. He stopped next to the door and drew his famous sword; he then slowly, quietly opened the door. The empty room yawned at him as he looked around. It was completely bland, no possible hiding place; he had been assured that the only other exit, the window, had been secured. Walking carefully in case this really was a trap he examined the window. It hadn't been secured and in fact, had been recently opened. He had been deceived by Kazuya; Kunimitsu wasn't in the room. She hadn't been here for some time and was most likely halfway around the world by now, hiding somewhere where he could never find her. Angry but knowing he had no other choice; he left the room and returned to his own hotel room. Lei meanwhile had discovered that Bruce's room was also deserted and that Bruce had been gone at least a day by now. It was then he saw a copy of the newspaper dated today. The headline was about a helicopter crash, the body of the pilot was found along with a passenger whose body was burned beyond recognition. But according to various records the passenger was identified as Bruce Irvin. Like Yoshimitsu he returned to his hotel, empty-handed. All they could do now was returned to the stadium in time for the finals.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
