Tekken Fan Fiction ❯ The Cursed Blood ❯ "Stand and fight!" ( Chapter 1 )

The King of Iron Fist Tournament Five has already begun to take shape. Lying by herself in a garden of sorts was the beautiful bronze warrior, Julia Chang. Her eyes closed and the scent of roses caressing her nose, Julia felt as if she were in heaven. However, something interrupted her moment of solitude; it was the changing of the wind. “Someone is here.” Julia said to herself. Quickly, she sprung up from her seat in the garden, and got into fighting stance. “Who's there? Come on show yourself!” Julia yelled as she began to look around for any warrior.

`Don't forget this is a tournament! I must face all comers!' Julia reminded herself as she continued to scan the area. Suddenly, Julia felt something cut through her arm. She did not scream, but she felt the warmth of blood on her left arm. There was a clean cut from someone. “Dammit, who is there?” Julia continued to call out. Suddenly, she saw her attacker, but this time she evaded his sword with a sharp kick. Flipping over and getting into stance, Julia came face to face with the sword-wielder. He looked very strange to her. He looked like a samurai and a little bit like a monster to her. “Who in the blue hell are you?” Julia questioned.

“My name is Yoshimitsu. I am your opponent for this round!” Yoshimitsu spun around as he gave a bow.

“That's pretty of you. You use a sword to take out you're opponents? How about just using you're fists?” Julia asked as she tightened her own fists.

“A sword is just as deadly as a fist, for I, Yoshimitsu of the Manji Party will show you child!” Yoshimitsu gave a battle cry as he quickly lunged for Julia Chang.

 

Just missing his sword, Julia grabbed Yoshimitsu and swung him into a field of flowers. Getting up, Yoshimitsu began to roll around the floor and attacked Julia. The girl was seriously harmed by the damage, but kept her focus on the fight at hand. When Yoshimitsu tried for another of those rolling attacks, Julia gathered all of her strength and landed a vicious uppercut that left Yoshimitsu really hurt. Stopping his assault, Yoshimitsu placed his blade into the earth and stared at Julia who prepared for any attack that would come her way.

“Well, what do you call that one girl?” the warrior asked her as he tried to catch his breath.

“I call that the Razor's Edge. Did you like it?” Julia asked a little cockily to Yoshimitsu.

“Some years ago, a girl wearing the same Native American clothes as you performed the same move. By any chance would you know who I am talking about?” Yoshimitsu asked.

“That was Michelle Chang. She's my mother.” Julia told the warrior. She still kept her fighting stance.

“Impressive. It's a shame I'll have to finish you off and send you back to her. But, I must avenge my Manji Party. Take this!” Yoshimitsu again yelled and began to hurl himself in the air with the help of his sword. Seeing this as he opportunity, Julia ran to the sky and fiercely kicked Yoshimitsu in his head. Crashing to the ground, Yoshimitsu began to bleed profusely as Julia stared at him.

“Today is you're lucky day. You may have defeated me, but I'll be back. Farewell!” Yoshimitsu called out as he vanished in front of Julia. Confused, Julia stared blankly but put her arms down from her fighting stance.

“Well that was a hell of a thing…” Julia trailed off. Walking past the place Yoshimitsu vanished from, Julia seen somebody beyond the trees. He was a guy who she knew of, but never met in person. Sighing Julia muttered his name as she came within range of him.

“Jin Kazama! I finally get to meet you.” Julia said as she watched the man. He turned to watch her. His face was graced with the shine from the sun. For some reason, Julia felt a twinge of attraction for him, right then and there.

“Go…get away…please!” Jin told her aloud as he turned away from her and began to leave.

“Oh come on, is the poor boy scared? Don't be a coward! You and you're whole damn family stand in my way of trying to save these forests! So, don't be a wuss! Stand and fight!” Julia said with passion as she got into fight stance.

 

Suddenly, Jin fell to his knees and blacked out. Julia was surprised by this. “My God, I should help him.” Julia said as she quickly ran to his side. Julia turned him around and saw glowing black symbols flee from his chiseled chest. Sweat covered him as well. “That's weird. What was that? No matter, I'll take him someplace safe.” Julia said aloud. Standing him up, Julia took Jin with her into the nearby forest, which she had been staying the past few days. The symbols that stood on his body still puzzled her.
