Me: Hello People! Welcome to the 1st Chapter of Part 2!
Yukito: Hooray! This is awesome!
*Someone gave Yukito a small knock in her head.*
Naoki: Isn't it my time now? This is Part 2 you know.
Yukito: Oh Sorry! I will see you guys later.
*Yukito exits*
Naoki *smiling*: Welcome to Part 2, friends. Thank you all who had been favouriting and reviewing this story.
Me: One user name magic135 already knew what this part will be.
Naoki: I am not surprise about that. If Part 1 had focused on Hanon and Nagisa, no doubt Part 2 will be focusing on my son, Masahiro, and Rina.
Me: And to start things off, it's time to put some boxing action in the first chapter. Enjoy Chapter 1. Oh and Please Note that: WABA stands for World Amateur Boxing Association.
Naoki *shrieks out*: Yikes! Give me the remote control now! I have to see my son's fight.
PART 2: RINA X MASAHIRO
Chapter 1: World Amateur Boxing Association Championship Match!
Two weeks have passed since Nagisa and Hanon became together forever with the help of Yukito Shirai, Nagisa's mother who is also a former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean. Now, there are three weeks left.
At Pearl Piari, Rina sat alone and looked at the window, sad in thought.
"Luchia gets to keep Kaito because he is a Panthalassa prince. Hanon can now finally be with Nagisa because his mom is the former mermaid princess. That leaves only me and Masahiro at stake. I wonder if such luck can exist between us."
"Rina!" Hanon called.
"What is it, Hanon?" Rina mumbled.
"You look all gloomy from yesterday. Why not you tell me your problems? I promise not to tell anyone."
Hanon's words made Rina smile a little. Hanon sat on the chair next to Rina.
"Hanon? How did you feel when you realized that you can finally get to be with Nagisa?" Rina asked.
"I was so happy that I can get to be with him. I had never known that his mom is the former mermaid princess." Hanon said.
"Oh."
"To tell you the truth, I regretted making fun of him before. If only I had known that law and Nagisa's family before, we would have been all lovely-dovely from the start."
"Hmm.."
"Anyway, what do you think of Masahiro?"
"Do I really have to say that?" Rina was blushing.
"Don't worry. I promise I won't tell."
Rina thought twice before saying this
"I think Masahiro is the right guy for me. He is not like the other boys. He is extremely athletic. Being a boxer and can also do extreme motorcyclist. I couldn't have imagine anyone doing that. Well, he also...uh...looks hot without his glasses. But...?
"But what?" Hanon asked.
"Hanon? Do you think I can get the same luck as you have? That someone you can fell in love with has their mom who was a former mermaid princess?"
"You have to believe in yourself, Rina. This was the first time we heard about that law, yet it was written in the book."
"I will seriously kick their butt whoever had hide that book from us."
"That's the spirit. Now Rina, do you think that Hamasaki might have some connection with the sea world?"
"I remember Masahiro told me that he was a descendant of the man who was rescued by a mermaid and built the Awami Shrine to show his love for the mermaid and wished for humans to live with mermaids peacefully."
Hanon was surprised. She never thought that Masahiro's ancestors had actually built the shrine.
"Well, I have got to go now. However, I think that Hamasaki-san might be related to the sea world by his ancestor's blood."
"You really think so?" Rina was a bit surprised.
"I think so. See you later." and with that Hanon left.
Rina thought about it. If Masahiro could be related to the sea world as Hanon stated, then there's a possibility that one of Masahiro's family could be a ordinary mermaid or a former mermaid princess and this has given some hope for Rina.
Suddenly, there was a phone ring. Rina picked it up.
"Hello, this is Pearl Piari. Rina speaking." Rina said.
"It's been a while, Rina." a known voice said.
Rina could not believe it! That voice is none other than Masahiro!
"Masahiro? It's really been a while. How are you?" Rina smiled.
"Fine. I'm sorry I couldn't keep in contact with you. I was so busy." Masahiro said.
"That's okay. How did you know that number?"
"Kaito gave me that number."
"I'm glad he did."
"Anyway, did you see the sport magazine on the boxing section?"
"Yeah. I am glad I have found a boyfriend like you who is a boxer. You are in the final for the World Amateur Boxing Championship."
"That's right!"
"Who is your opponent?"
"They say that he is from Korea name Don Lee, known for his amazing combos."
"What's the chance for your winning?"
"They say probably about 40-60% although odds are in Lee's favor."
"I will be on your side forever even if odds are against you."
"Thanks, Rina. Would you watch the match?"
"I would love to. Tell me the time of your match."
"8:30 pm."
"Thanks and see you later."
"Bye, Rina." and with that Masahiro hangs up the phone.
Rina is very excited. She looked at the magazines she collected from the shop which says Masahiro defeated this guy, that guy en route to final.
"Masahiro is really tough boxer to beat. He should have gone pro. I wonder why he didn't want to go pro?" Rina thought. She let out a small giggle and said:
"I wonder what would happen if Kaito has to fight with Masahiro? That could be a excellent way to punish Kaito for betraying Luchia, not once but twice."
Rina then took all the magazines to her room.
8:30 pm. The night of the final of the WAB championship. Rina looked at the time and said.
"Better close door."
She then closed the door and turned on the T.V.
Both fighters have made their entrance with the audience cheering both of them. The ring announcer then came out and said:
"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to the WABA Finals! These two warriors have finally made it to the final but only one of them will win and become champion and will take one step closer to becoming a pro!"
The audience cheered.
"Introducing on the blue corner. Fighting from South Korea. Weighting 140 pounds. Ladies and Gentleman, Don Lee!"
Don Lee raised his fist as the audience cheered and some even showed the South Korea flag.
"And now on the red corner. Fighting from Japan. Weighting 135 pounds. Ladies and gentleman, Masahiro Hamasaki!"
Masahiro raised his fist and the people roared wildy and some showed the Japanese flag.
Then the referee came and told them the rules. You know: no low blows, no rabbit punches and all those stuffs. The atmosphere is becoming a bit tense for a few seconds.
"I hope you are watching, Rina." Masahiro thought.
"Good luck, Hamasaki. You have come this far. Here's your mouth guard." The coach said.
"Thanks coach." Hamasaki said and flashed a thumbs up.
And then the bell rang and the people cheered as both fighters stared at each others and started to moving around.
"Masahiro, you can do this." Rina said as she is watching the fight on her bed.
Meanwhile, Hanon is telling Luchia, Kaito and Nikora about what Rina told them earlier.
"Are you serious? Masahiro's ancestors built the shrine that we go to?" Luchia was surprised.
"Rina told me about it." Hanon said.
"Then let's ask..." Kaito was about to finish when suddenly they heard a voice.
"WHOO-HOO!"
All four nearly jumped after hearing that voice.
"It sounds like Rina coming from her room." Nikora said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's check it out." Hanon said as they rushed towards Rina's room.
Rina is praticularly shadow boxing what Masahiro is doing on the T.V because she is all hyped up.
"Alright! Keep going, my love." Rina smiled.
If you are probably guessing why this is all happening, well take a look below:
Round 1:
As both boxers are circling each other, suddenly Don Lee suddenly charged towards Masahiro only to get a jab from Masahiro flat on his face.
Don Lee stumbled back and again charged towards his opponent and tried to use his combos but Masahiro dodged all of them and suddenly gave Lee a hook to the body and then to the face.
This continue for full 3 minutes. Masahiro is giving Don Lee a beating of his life as Masahiro gave him jabs, hooks and uppercuts to the face mostly. Then another uppercut and down goes Don Lee. The Japanese crowds roared in delight, chanting "MASAHIRO! MASAHIRO!" and the South Korean fans try to cheer Lee on.
Luckily, Don Lee got up at the 9 count.
"Ugh! So close." Masahiro mumbled
The bell rang and both fighters returned to their corners.
"No doubt Masahiro has won this fight easily." one commentator said.
"What a perfect start for him at the final. If he can continue like this, he will eventually become the champion." another commentator said.
"Nice! Very nice! Keep going on like that." The coach said as he pat on Masahiro's back.
"I will, coach." Masahiro said.
Knock! Knock!
"Who's there?" Rina said.
Rina then opened the door and saw Kaito, Luchia, Hanon and Nikora in surprise faces.
"What's going on here, Rina?" Nikora said.
"Well.." Rina mumbled.
However Luchia, Hanon and Kaito went passed Rina and saw on the T.V the recap of Round 1 where Masahiro put Don Lee on the ground.
"Oh! It seems like Rina is cheering for her boyfriend at the T.V." Hanon teased.
"And he has a pretty good start to this fight." Luchia said.
"Rina?! Why didn't you tell us about this? We could have cheered for him as well." Kaito asked.
"Well... I...uh." Rina tried to say something but Nikora interrupted.
"It's okay, Rina. How about we all see the fight?" Nikora said.
"YEAH!" Luchia and Hanon shouted.
"Come on! Round 2 has already started." Kaito said.
All of them grabbed their chairs to watch the fight. Rina is watching in her bed.
"You can do this, Masahiro." Rina thought.
If you think that Masahiro has already won the fight after the first round, well think again:
Round 2:
Both fighters are inching closer to their distance.
Suddenly, Masahiro was caught by surprise by a fast jab from Lee. Masahiro stumbled back.
Masahiro tried to give an uppercut but Lee easily dodged it and used his fast combos to hit Masahiro. Jab, Jab, Hook, Uppercut. Masahiro got hit in all of them. Then another fast jab and hook and down goes Masahiro. This time, the Korean fans roared in delight chanting, "Lee! Lee!" but the Japanese fans cheered Masahiro and urged him to get up.
Thankfully, Masahiro got up at 7 count. Suddenly, Lee charged to finish Masahiro but he stopped in his tracks as he got a hard punch to the body by Masahiro surprisingly.
The bell rang and both fighters went back to their corners.
"Wow! Don Lee suddenly changed things around in Round 2!" one commentator said.
"You do know that Don Lee is well known for his remarkable comebacks." another commentator said.
"Hamasaki! I have an idea." the coach said.
"What is it, coach?" Masahiro said.
"Try to keep punching on his body. If you do so, then he will eventually slow down and you will be able to attack him easily."
"I think it might work."
"Thanks to you people, look what happened to him. Masahiro is now on backfoot." Rina growled.
"Are you saying that because of us, he lost the second round?" Kaito asked.
"Quite so."
"No! I believe he will win!" Luchia said.
"That's right!" Hanon proclaimed
"Hi! Can I join?" Taki asked.
"Sure." Nikora said.
"I will join too." the human Hippo said and grabbed a popcorn.
"Just Great! Hippo and Taki now has joined to see the fight. I hope Taki doesn't bring bad fortunes on him." Rina thought.
Round 3:
Don Lee yet again pounced on Masahiro with his fast combos. Masahiro desperately tried to block the punches.
Suddenly Masahiro saw a space between Lee's arm and body. This is his chance. Taking advantage of Lee's unguarded body, Masahiro punched Lee into the body with full force.
Lee was stunned and went backwards. Again Lee charged, again he got a hit on the body.
Suddenly, he was in a bit of a pain. He couln't move fast due to that and his speed seems to slow down.
Taking advantage on that, Masahiro went forward and delivered a powerful hook and uppercut to Lee's face. Lee is in a verge of collapse. A haymaker from Masahiro is enough to knock Lee out cold.
The referee checked on Lee and realized that he won't be able to continue to he signaled the bell to end the match.
The match is over. Masahiro has won and he is now the World Amateur Boxing Champion! The Japanese fans went wild and they clapped and cheered for Masahiro, who happily raised his fist. The South Korean fans, well you know, are stunned.
"Ladies and Gentleman! The winner and the WABA Champion, Masahiro Hamasaki!"
"Wow! He put up a spectacular performance in the final knocking Lee out in the 3rd Round with 2 minutes to spear." One commentator said.
"Spare a thought for Don Lee. He also put up a good performance there. I think the turning point came when he got hit on the body."
The excitement grew for the Japanese fans as Masahiro is handed over the belt.
"HOORAY! HE WON!" Kaito shouted.
Everyone was so happy and they slap high fives. Luchia and Hanon hugged Rina tightly.
"Hamasaki-san won! Aren't you happy, Rina?" Both Luchia and Hanon said.
"Would..you..please let me go? I need..some..fresh..air." Rina is gasping for air.
"Oh sorry." and they released Rina.
"Well, it looks like they put the belt on Hamasaki's waist." Nikora smiled.
But what they will see next will create a big shock for everyone.
"Here's your..uh.. special locket." the coach said as he hands over the locket to Masahiro.
"Thanks, coach." Masahiro said as he put the locket around his neck.
Do you want to know Masahiro's locket? The locket is a small green mermaid carrying a small heart of love.
"Could you give me a lift, coach?"
"Sure."
"There we go. The coach lifting Masahiro." Nikora smiled.
"OMG!" Luchia screamed.
"What's the matter, Luchia?" Kaito asked.
"Look what's around Hamasaki-san's neck!"
All of them saw, to their shock, the green mermaid locket around Masahiro's neck.
Hippo realized this locket and almost dropped his popcorn.
The most shocked is Rina. Why does Masahiro have that locket? Then suddenly Rina said:
"Could it be...?"
Me: Yep! There you go. A nice boxing action scene to start with.
Naoki *jumping with joy*: Oh Wow! My son became Champion!
Me: Come down! Don't shout.
Naoki: Oh sorry. Anyway, that's the 2nd biggest chapter you have ever written, after the last chapter of Part 1.
Me: Thanks. Anyway, Chapter 2 is coming soon.
Naoki: Untill then, fav and review please.
