CHAPTER XIII

 

Tekken 2

 

It was a perfect day for Tekken 2. The weather was good, fighters were prepared, and arenas were clean and just waited for fights…

Kazuya standed in front of contestants and started speaking:

- Welcome to The King of Iron Fist 2! This tournament shall be better than previous one! Give your best and impress everybody! Let the tournament begin!

Yoshimitsu looked at fighters. They were all prepared for a rough fight. “This tournament will be harder than previous…” He thought.

He needed to wait for long time to fight. In previous matches he could see strength, speed and readiness of other fighters.

“Know your opponent before you fight against him” Were words of Zeku Nasa, his sensei. He knew Zeku was right.

 

- In next match Yoshimitsu will fight against Armour King! – Said Announcer.

His opponent was a weird wrestler wearing a Jaguar mask. He was good built, with impressive muscles.

Yoshimitsu was surprised at the beginning of the match, because Armour King didn’t want to hit him; instead of that, he tried to grab him!

Fortunately, Yoshimitsu had the time to dash back and escape the grab.

“Why?” He wondered, but he realized the truth soon. Armour King was a wrestler, he is the best in grappling arts!

“Well, you won’t get a chance to grab me.” Yoshimitsu thought and attacked. He tried to kick Armour King with his classic fast and powerful roundhouse.

Armour King surprised him again. He didn’t try to escape or counter, he just standed there. When Yoshimitsu’s leg was close to him, he grabbed it!

Yoshimitsu didn’t have time to wonder, because Armour King pulled his leg so fast that Yoshimitsu lost his balance. After that, Armour King kicked Yoshimitsu in the face with his knee. Yoshimitsu fell on ground.

“Damn, this one is expert at wrestling” He thought “But he will not be better than me…”

He standed up again, looking Armour King in his Jaguar “face”. He smiled. After that, he jumped and waved his leg to Armour King’s head. When Armour King wanted to grab his leg, Yoshimitsu quickly changed his position and did a powerful low kick with his other leg! That was too fast for his opponent, and Armour King started yelling of pain when he realized that his shin is badly hurt. He attacked Yoshimitsu, wanting to do his famous Three-kick low combo.

Yoshimitsu was too fast for this, and he managed to jump above Armour King and land behind him. Now Yoshimitsu wanted to punch Armour King in the back, but his opponent quickly turned around and grabbed his hand! Before Yoshimitsu could react, Armour King grabbed his other hand, and slammed him on the ground. Then he grabbed Yoshimitsu’s chest, jumped in air and smashed him on the ground again. After that, he grabbed Yoshimitsu again, rolled on ground, jumped and landed with his entire body on Yoshimitsu. In the end, he grabbed Yoshimitsu’s legs, and started rotating on axis, waving Yoshimitsu’s body all around. He left Yoshimitsu’s legs and threw him away to ground. He smiled, because his multi-throw succeeded.

Yoshimitsu was badly hurt. He felt terrible pain in every part of his body. But he had enough strength to stand up again.

This time he decided to confuse Armour King even more. He cannot fail or let himself to be too slow.

He sit on ground, in his meditation stance. He started meditating. When Armour King ran to him wanting to kick him, but Yoshimitsu has already started rotating on axis. When Armour King realized what is happening, he turned back, expecting Yoshimitsu to teleport behind him.

But that was a trick. Yoshimitsu was only pretending that he will teleport. Instead of teleporting, he stopped rotating, rolled on ground, and kicked Armour King with both legs! The attack launched his opponent in the air. Yoshimitsu standed up, and waited for Armour King to fall. When he failed on ground, Yoshimitsu crouched, and started spinning around on one leg. He was hitting Armour King with his other leg. Those spinning low kicks were extremely fast and powerful, but Yoshimitsu was dizzy after spinning six times, so he fell on ground too.

When they both standed up, Armour King was badly hurt. Now he felt pain in his whole body, just like Yoshimitsu did before some moments.

They both had one thing in their mind: Final attack that will knock down the opponent. Armour King wanted to grab Yoshimitsu and do another multi-throw that will surely finish his opponent, while Yoshimitsu wanted to do a combo that should finally make his opponent unable to fight anymore.

Armour King attacked first, and did a crouch dash, preparing for multi-throw. That was a big mistake, because Yoshimitsu knew what is coming after that dash. He watched previous Armour King’s matches and saw that the crouch dash always follows up a multi-throw.

Yoshimitsu rolled to side, letting his opponent to miss his final grab. He didn’t wait a moment. He attacked with his confusing 8-hit combo, learnt from Kobayasha.

He hit Armour King in face, chest, legs, arms… He finished his combo by kicking Armour King and knocking him down.

- Yoshimitsu wins! – Said the Announcer.

 

When Yoshimitsu left the arena, he was so proud on himself. Armour King was very hard opponent, but he still defeated him. Anyway, he has many more opponents to defeat…

His next opponent was a new contestant, Baek Doo-San.

 

- Yoshimitsu VS. Baek!

Baek wasn’t very young, but he had perfect body for a fighter. “This won’t be easy…” Yoshimitsu thought.

Yoshimitsu’s opponent attacked first. He did an eight-kick combo, hitting Yoshimitsu very quickly. Last kick knocked Yoshimitsu down.

“He is damn fast”, Yoshimitsu thought, and attacked Baek with his knee. Baek just stepped to side and avoided it. Now he rushed with his quick fists, wanting to punch Yoshimitsu in the head. But Yoshimitsu was faster this time. He sit on ground, letting Baek’s punching go above his head. After that, he teleported behind his opponent and grabbed Baek’s back! Before Baek could react, Yoshimitsu jumped with him high in air, turned around, and slammed Baek on ground!

After that, he backed up, sat down and started meditating. Baek was lying on ground. The throw did major damage to him, but he still had strength to stand up.

They rushed to each other. Yoshimitsu wanted to do a high kick, while Baek aimed to Yoshimitsu’s legs. The scene was funny to all watchers of the match because Yoshimitsu jumped to avoid Baek’s low attack, and Baek ducked under Yoshimitsu’s high kick, so they both missed each other.

Baek turned around, smiled and tried to slide under Yoshimitsu and hit him from the back. Yoshimitsu just jumped in air, and let Baek pass behind him.

When Baek wanted to hit him, Yoshimitsu did quick backflip and kicked Baek in the head with his both legs and knocked him down, again.

Anyway, Yoshimitsu did a mistake when he wanted to jump and land on Baek’s chest, because his opponent precidted his action, raised his legs and kicked Yoshimitsu away. After that, he ran to him, jumped in air, and kicked Yoshimitsu twice in the head, knocking him down. After that, he started kicking him while Yoshimitsu was on the ground. After his fifth kick, he jumped to elbow his opponent, but Yoshimitsu rolled to side, so Baek smashed himself on the ground.

Some of the watchers started laughing, while Yoshimitsu entered his meditation stance and started meditating. Baek was furious.

When he saw Yoshimitsu sitting calmly, he rushed with maximum speed and jumped, preparing for air-kick. He was ready for Yoshimitsu’s teleport too, but Yoshimitsu still managed to surprise him. He stayed in his meditation pose, and raised his hands, pointing to his opponent.

Baek didn’t want to stop his attack, so he waved his hand to kick Yoshimitsu in the head... Yoshimitsu just did three quick moves before Baek kicked him.

He hit him in the stomach with three different punches. That didn’t hurt Baek at all, so he continued his attack. And when Baek’s leg almost touched Yoshimitsu’s head, he felt something strange... and he also felt that his whole body is paralyzed! He was stoned, and he couldn’t move any part of his body!

Baek just fell on ground. Yoshimitsu standed up, and looked at him. No, this wasn’t fair. He wanted to win in fair way. So he hit Baek four more times in stomatch to stop him from being “frozen”. When Baek felt he can move again, he jumped quickly and hit Yoshimitsu in the stomach with his head.

“That’s my reward for being fair” Thought Yoshimitsu and standed up again.

Baek was furious because Yoshimitsu did a nasty trick to humiliate him. He started doing his best technique – long kick combos.

He started to warm up for hard task. He must kick that guy to K.O. or he will lose...

Yoshimitsu already knew what will Baek do, because he would do that too if he was Baek. So he wanted to let Baek to think that he can win by just kicking.

He came close to his opponent, and let him to start kicking. Baek was very good at kicking, even better than Yoshimitsu thought. He kicked in all positions, high, mid, low, quick and light kicks, slow and heavy kicks... but his skills couldn’t compare to the skills of his “mechanic” opponent, so he was truly shocked when he realized that Yoshimitsu blocked all attacks. He tried to kick again, this time even faster than before, but the result was nothing. All of his attacks were blocked.

“Block this.” He thought and attacked with all of his power he ever had, aiming to Yoshimitsu’s chest...

Like he is dancing, Yoshimitsu turned around on axis, dodging the attack, and grabbed Baek’s leg. He didn’t have reason do be fair anymore.

Yoshimitsu started rotating and waving Baek’s body around, holding his leg. When he reached high speed, he let Baek’s body. Baek flied long distance and fell on ground. He didn’t have the strength to stand up again, so he just stayed laying.

- Yoshimitsu wins!

 

“If he only practiced...” Yoshimitsu thought as he watched Baek’s body laying on the ground. “He has good potential to be a great fighter... too bad he didn’t know to use his skills properly... he would be a good fighter, and sensei as well.”

In next match Kunimitsu fought against Jun Kazama. Yoshimitsu was surprised when he saw that Jun has defeated Kunimitsu. He expected her to be better, and Jun knocked her out. “Weird... that Jun is a great fighter... even better than Kunimitsu... ”

After some matches, it was Yoshimitsu’s turn again.

 

- Yoshimitsu VS. Paul!

Paul looked powerful, too powerful. He is one of strongest fighters on the tournament. But he was good in soul. He saluted Yoshimitsu in Japanese way, and prepared to fight. He waited for his opponent to attack first.

“Good man.” Yoshimitsu thought. “World needs many more of these people...”

After thinking about that, he attacked. His right kick was too predictable, and Paul managed to grab his leg, and hit Yoshimitsu with his powerful elbow.

“Good fighter too! I must use my special techniques again, I guess” Yoshimitsu smiled. Paul smiled too. They looked at each other for some moments, then Paul decided to attack. It was his most famous attack, his straight right punch, called “Death Fist” by other fighters. And it was deadly indeed. He hit Yoshimitsu with his powerful fist, and that made Yoshimitsu roll back and fall on ground. Yoshimitsu standed up. He must be faster this time...

And so he did. He again did his predictable right kick. When Paul grabbed his leg, Yoshimitsu punched him in the head before he did anything. After that, Yoshimitsu started punching Paul with his fastest combo - straight punches to the chest. The punches were too fast for Paul to block, so he received even 10 super fast punches that caused fatal pain to him. Paul fell on his knees, and showed signs or brutal pain. Yoshimitsu noticed that too, so he stopped punching him.

After one short moment, Paul raised himself quickly, and did powerful low kick, followed with his elbow! The combo was very powerful and fast, so it knocked Yoshimitsu down.

“Damn trick” Yoshimitsu thought and smiled. This time he won’t stop his attacks no matter what happens.

They both looked at each other. Now they weren’t smiling. This was a fighting tournament, not a contest for the most beautiful smile.

Paul did his “Death Fist” again, but Yoshimitsu managed to avoid it. Paul was in disadvantage now, and Yoshimitsu used that moment to kick Paul with his knee and knock him down. After that, he jumped on laying Paul, sit on his chest and started punching him. After six punches, he standed up and waited for Paul to get up. When Paul wanted to do his Low kick - elbow combo again, Yoshimitsu Jumped to avoid the kick, and grabbed Paul’s head before he could execute his elbow attack. Yoshimitsu jumped in air, still holding Paul, and threw him on the ground. When Paul’s body fell on ground, Yoshimitsu landed with his legs on Paul’s chest.

That was too rough attack, but it was permitted on this tournament. Yoshimitsu jumped back, and looked at Paul.

This time Paul wasn’t faking that he was badly hurt. The attack caused heavy damage to him, and he hardly ever had the strength to stand up.

He looked at his opponent. But that look didn’t scare Yoshimitsu at all. He knew that now Paul is seriously injured and he will do desperate attacks, that will be fully unpredictable and extremely strong...

“Desperate persons and insane persons are the hardest opponents, Yoshimitsu. Never forget that.” Kobayasha said to him once. “Their attacks are strong and unpredictable. But you can defeat even them, by using your concentration and speed...”

Paul rushed with his highest speed. He started doing everything he has ever learned. He attacked with his strongest punches and kicks. But in his desperate condition, he didn’t even notice that he isn’t hitting his opponent!

That was another Yoshimitsu’s trick. He made a perfect illusion of himself, and came behind Paul. When Paul stopped “hitting” Yoshimitsu’s clone, Yoshimitsu decided to execute his final attack to bring his opponent down. He raised his right leg, and started spinning around on his left leg. When Paul realized that he isn’t hitting his opponent and turned around, he could only see a hurricane. When Yoshimitsu reached maximum speed, he came close to Paul and kicked him with his right leg! The attack was fatal for his opponent and Paul just fell down, unconscious.

- Yoshimitsu wins!

 

After the match, he saw Kunimitsu talk to Kazuya. He predicted his next opponent. His sister... Kunimitsu. But he was betrayed by her and he didn’t have any mercy anymore. He will fight against her just as he would fight against any other opponent. “You want to fight?” He thought. “Then we will fight.”

 

- Yoshimitsu VS Kunimitsu!

Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu entered the arena. He looked at her. She took her daggers and looked at him with a look full of anger and hate.

Kazuya came to Announcer’s place, and said:

- We have special rules for this match. Kunimitsu requested that you can use weapons in this match. This is a battle to death. Winner must kill the beaten opponent. Do you agree with this, Yoshimitsu?

- Yes. - Said Yoshimitsu.

- OK then. Let the fight begin.

Kunimitsu didn’t wait any longer. She jumped to Yoshimitsu, waving her daggers. He didn’t even have time to take his sword. So he rolled to side and avoided Kunimitsu’s attack. After that, he took his sword, and immediately felt new power rushing trough his body. Kunimitsu didn’t notice that, so she attacked again.

But now Yoshimitsu blocked her attacks with his sword, and kicked her to ground. Now he jumped and waved his sword, but Kunimitsu blocked this attack, rolled back, and prepared for her next attack. She ran to Yoshimitsu, slided on her knees, pointing her daggers to Yoshimitsu’s stomach. Yoshimitsu just jumped to avoid this attack. Now he started waving his sword to confuse Kunimitsu. She was backing away from that rushing hurricane, and when she came to arena’s end, she jumped high in air and landed behind Yoshimitsu. She thought that would be a perfect chance for a counter attack, but she was wrong.

Yoshimitsu did a backflip, turned around in air, and landed so close to her that she screamed and dashed back. After that, she did a backflip to make Yoshimitsu think that she will be in defensive stance. Instead of that, she immediately jumped to Yoshimitsu, wanting to stab her daggers in his head!

Yoshimitsu just crouched, and Kunimitsu fell on ground. He waved his sword to her head, and put its blade to her neck.

- Traitor. Now I realize that you don’t deserve to live. Stop this madness or die! We can end this in easy way, without any deaths.

- Go to hell! - Kunimitsu said, and kicked Yoshimitsu to stomach. She rolled to side, and immediately attacked. Even Yoshimitsu was surprised of her speed.

“She is much better than before” He thought. “But I will have no mercy...”

He blocked her attack, and kicked her so hard that she screamed again and fell on ground. He didn’t care about the pain anymore. He started to punch her while she was laying on the ground. His punches were faster and faster. After 20th punch, he standed up and looked at Kunimitsu. She was badly hurt. He didn’t believe that she will continue the match, but he was shocked when he saw her standing up again! This time she decided to do a desperate attack that will kill Yoshimitsu if it succeeds, but it will mean her end if it misses...

She threw her dagger to Yoshimitsu! The attack surprised him, and he didn’t have the time to completely avoid the dagger.

Dagger stabbed in Yoshimitsu’s right leg. Kunimitsu didn’t wait a moment, because she had full advantage now. She threw another dagger, pointing to Yoshimitsu’s head! If this one hits him, it’s all over...

NO!

Yoshimitsu managed to crouch and avoid this dagger. Kunimitsu was shocked. She was unarmed. She knew that she has chances to kill injured Yoshimitsu, if only she could get her daggers back... Yoshimitsu knew that too.

- What? You want your daggers? - He said with threatening voice. - Here is one of them! - He said and grabbed dagger from his leg.

- This isn’t fair... - She said. - I am unarmed. Please help me, my brother! Give me my daggers!

- So I am now your brother? - He said, furious. - No, Kunimitsu. You are not my sister anymore. I realized that you will never accept me as your brother.

You betrayed me! You stole my sword! You wanted to kill me! But now, the justice will be satisfied. The world does not need people like you.

- You won’t give me my weapons?

- No.

- THEN DIE, YOU BASTARD!

After saying this, Kunimitsu attacked with her last weapon - shuriken! She quickly grabbed it and threw it to Yoshimitsu’s head! Yoshimitsu expected this kind of attack, so he just moved his head and avoided the attack.

- What will you do now? - He asked. - I don’t think you have anymore tricks.

- NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Kunimitsu yelled and rushed to Yoshimitsu.

She didn’t know how to attack, she didn’t have a strategy, and she just desperately wanted to eliminate that person, in any possible way...

Yoshimitsu was faster.

With one simple move, he stabbed his sword trough Kunimitsu.

Suddenly, she stopped running. She just fell on her knees and looked at Yoshimitsu. She didn’t say anything. She just looked at his eyes, for the last time.

- Goodbye, Kunimitsu. - He said and took his sword back.

Kunimitsu just fell on ground. Her whole body was in blood.

Yoshimitsu looked at her for the last time, and left the arena.

- Yo... Yosh... Yoshimitsu... wins... - Said shocked announcer.

 

Kazuya was shocked too. He thought Kunimitsu will manage to destroy Yoshimitsu, but she is dead. Yoshimitsu was sad, but he knew that was the only possible solution. Kunimitsu would never accept him, and she would be a threat for him for her entire life. He calmed down when he started meditating. Fortunately, other fighters fought, and his turn was after seven matches, so he had enough time to rest and meditate.

 

- Yoshimitsu VS. Bruce!

His next opponent was the black kick-boxer. He looked dangerous, but he wasn’t a big treat to Yoshimitsu, because his sword gave him new, special powers.

Now his speed and strength were on highest levels.

Bruce Irvin wanted to hit him with first-class boxing uppercut, but he didn’t know the real speed of his opponent. Yoshimitsu was so fast that he had the time to avoid the attack, get behind his opponent, and kick him in the back before Bruce even finished the attack. Bruce was surprised, but that didn’t stop him from attacking again. Now he did his double-knee combo, but Yoshimitsu countered with his fast knee and knocked Bruce down. When Bruce standed up, he looked at Yoshimitsu’s eyes. He waited for him to attack. And so Yoshimitsu did. He crouched, and started spinning on axis, hitting Bruce with his fast backhands. After that, he did one of his strongest attacks, known as “Shark Attack”. He standed on his hands and hit Bruce with his both legs, then dived in and hit Bruce with his both fists. After that, he rolled forward and kicked Bruce again with both legs. Bruce was badly injured. Anyway, he standed up and looked Yoshimitsu again.

After that, Bruce rushed to him with speed that surprised Yoshimitsu and all watchers. He hit Yoshimitsu with his famous running kick and knocked him down.

When Yoshimitsu standed up, and wanted to attack, Bruce surprised him again with his incredible speed and hit him with his elbow in the head. Yoshimitsu looked at Bruce’s eyes. Insane eyes... desperate eyes... or...

Yes!

Yoshimitsu now realized how Bruce got so strong so suddenly.

“Drugs.” He thought. “My dear friend uses drugs. Well, I’ll show him that drugs won’t help him much...”

Bruce rushed again, but Yoshimitsu teleported behind him. When he turned around, Yoshimitsu teleported again. He became confused. Yoshimitsu used that moment to do another old trick. He became “invisible”. Bruce was even more confused when hen felt invisible punches hit him from all sides. He started to punch in random directions, hoping he will hit that invisible opponent, but that attempt failed.

Yoshimitsu stopped being “invisible”, and Bruce could clearly see him. He rushed again, but Yoshimitsu just crouched and avoided his attack. Bruce continued to attack with punches and kicks, but Yoshimitsu successfully blocked all attacks. Then Bruce decided to use his special attack. He backed up a bit, charged up and unleashed a deadly punch to Yoshimitsu!

Yoshimitsu couldn’t block this attack, so he just fell on ground when Bruce smashed him. Now Bruce sat on Yoshimitsu’s chest and started punching him. After some punches, he grabbed Yoshimitsu’s hand, with intention to break it. But Yoshimitsu didn’t give him the chance to do that. He kicked him in the stomach, and rolled back to safety.

They both standed up, and stared at each other. They attacked at the same time. Bunch of punches of kicks were sent from both sides.

The scene looked very weird to watchers and all they could see were two human tornados, because Yoshimitsu’s and Bruce’s attacks were so fast that nobody could see them. Yoshimitsu was fast because of his training and Bruce was fast because of his drugs. But training doesn’t have any disadvantages, and drugs do...

“After some moments, he will lose his strength and become so weak that a child could kill him.” Yoshimitsu thought.

And really, after a while, Bruce stopped attacking and just fell on ground. He couldn’t move anymore, because he was too exhausted.

“Poor guy.” Thought Yoshimitsu as he watched Bruce’s unconscious body. “Drugs can’t help... they just kill anyone who uses them...”

- Yoshimitsu wins! - Said the Announcer.

 

Yoshimitsu didn’t have much time to rest, because he needed to fight in the next match too. His opponent was a fighting bear... KUMA.

“God only knows how powerful this creature can be... it could kill me, so I need to be very careful.” He thought.

 

- Yoshimitsu VS. Kuma!

Kuma entered the arena. It was a gigantic, dangerous fighting bear. Not easy to defeat... but not impossible.

- Yoshimitsu is allowed to use his sword in this match! - Said Announcer.

“Alright, Kuma. Let’s see what you can do.” He thought and prepared to fight.

Kuma roared and ran to Yoshimitsu. When it wanted to grab Yoshimitsu with its powerful clutches, Yoshimitsu crouched, and rolled back.

“We are not too fast, aren’t we?” Smiled Yoshimitsu and attacked. It was his famous knee that must bring the animal down...

Or not?

Kuma didn’t fall after the knee attack; it just roared again and attacked. Kuma grabbed Yoshimitsu’s leg, and slammed him on the ground.

“Damn, this bear is slow, but it’s very strong! I must beware” thought Yoshimitsu as he standed up. Now he jumped above Kuma and attacked with his air-kick.

He hit Kuma right in the head, but Kuma didn’t seem to be hurt. It grabbed Yoshimitsu’s legs again. Yoshimitsu knew that Kuma will want to slam him again, so he reacted fast and took his sword. He stabbed it into Kuma’s right arm, and took the sword out. Kuma suddenly started to yelp and it let Yoshimitsu’s legs. Its arm was bloody, but it just roared and rushed to Yoshimitsu again. Now Kuma grabbed Yoshimitsu with its both arms. It wanted to squeeze him, but Yoshimitsu was faster and he kicked Kuma in the stomach before it could do anything. Kuma felt hard pain now, because Yoshimitsu used all of his power for that fatal kick. Yoshimitsu used that moment to escape from Kuma’s grab.

Now Kuma decided to give up from grabs and attack Yoshimitsu with its claws. Kuma started punching Yoshimitsu, but Yoshimitsu successfully avoided Kuma’s slow attacks. He countered with his powerful roundhouse and kicked Kuma in the head. Kuma jumped to Yoshimitsu with intention to slam itself and him on the ground, but Yoshimitsu only did a small sidestep and avoided this attack. After that, he jumped and landed on laying Kuma. Suddenly, Kuma standed up, so Yoshimitsu lost balance and fell. Kuma wanted top kick him while he is on ground, but Yoshimitsu teleported behind, and did his “Shark Attack” combo. He hit Kuma three times, but it still didn’t show any signs of pain. It didn’t even care about injured arm, which was still bleeding.

They rushed to each other. Kuma wanted to uppercut Yoshimitsu, and Yoshimitsu wanted to knock his opponent down. He slided and avoided Kuma’s attack.

After that, he raised and did his triple kick combo, hiting Kuma 3 times in the head. Now he grabbed Kuma, and hit it so hard with his right fist that Kuma finally fell on ground. He could finish this match by stabbing Kuma with his sword, but he didn’t want to kill the bear. He’ll use his sword only if he is in mortal danger...

Kuma standed up and looked at Yoshimitsu. Now it was afraid of that strange man in armor. Yoshimitsu knew that and he smiled. He did a taunt to get bear’s attention. When Kuma stared at him for some long moments, he hypnotized it and made 8 clones of himself. Real Yoshimitsu started meditating while his clones were fighting with confused Kuma. He laughed as he looked at Kuma fighting with his clones. He had enough time to completely heal himself by meditating.

When he was enough of meditation, he destroyed his “clones”, and attacked Kuma again. Now he had his full power again, so his attacks were much faster and stronger. When he started punching and kicking Kuma, it was truly hurt and it started roaring like mad. Kuma attacked too, but Yoshimitsu’s reflexes saved him from any injuries. He just avoided every Kuma’s attack and countered with his knee that knocked Kuma down. Yoshimitsu backed away and charged himself. He took his sword and felt that special power again. His fists were shining with strange colour while he charged and transferred most of his energy to his sword to deliver final attack. All of that was strange to his opponent, so Kuma roared, louder than before and rushed to Yoshimitsu.

When Kuma was close enough, Yoshimitsu did a move that was close to magic. With light speed, he attacked with his sword and rushed trough Kuma, slicing it with sword’s powerful blade! Kuma was confused, and it couldn’t even see long blood trails on its stomach. It just fell on ground.

- Yoshimitsu wins!

 

Yoshimitsu left the arena. He knew that his sword’s attack was dangerous, but he didn’t kill the bear. For some weeks, Kuma will be in prefect condition again.

Kazuya announced that the final part of the tournament will be tomorrow, so all fighters went back to their building.

Yoshimitsu entered him room and started meditating. He tried not to think about his dead sister. He knew he had to kill her, and he had to accept the fact she is not alive anymore. He thought about Dr. Bosconovitch and how to rescue him. It was his primary objective, although he also wanted to destroy Kazuya and Heihachi.

“They are too evil to live. I must eliminate them before it’s too late. Tomorrow will be a hard day. A day to remember...”
