Walking down the street on my way to the store I heard someone call my name.
"Hey..Kenshi! Face me. Let's see how tough you really are."
My back was to him, so I turned my head sideways to see who it was. It was Lorenzo, a local who has lied before about defeating me. I grinned at the sight of the man and said.
"I have no time for this. You dare to face me? You're making a mistake. Please leave now, and I will cause you no harm."
I started walking away again, and he called out.
"Oh. So you are afraid of me? Is the mighty Kenshi too scared to challenge me? I thought you were a fighter. A warrior. I thought you were an assassin."
I looked back again and noticed a crowd surrounding Lorenzo now. People started chanting and hollering, dying to see a fight. I couldn't let Lorenzo embarass me so I decided to face him. I put my bag down and unzipperd it. Before every fight I always wear the red band my father had left me before he died around my forehead. I wore it before every fight as a sign of good luck.*
I then walked up to him and said.
"Let's see what you got."
Before I knew it Lorenzo charged at me. I easily blocked his charge hitting him in the stomach with a side kick. He grabbed his stomach but then continued the attack. He then tried to punch me in the face, but I was too fast for him. i ducked his blow and elbowed him in the stomach. He clenched his stomach again and I knocked him down by elbowing him in the face.*
Then someone in the crowd surrounding us ran at me. I ducked there attack and sweeped at his legs. Then someone else threw a punch at me. I dodged the attack and grabbed their arm. I then twisted it backwards, breaking it and headbutt them knocking them out. I turned around and saw Lorenzo struggleing to get up with a busted nose. I then saw his hand reveal a switchblade. He ran at me with his switchblade ready to stab me. I grabbed his arm twisted it, dropping the blade and thrust kicked him in the face. This time he was down for good.*
I looked around to see if anyone else was trying to attack me. The crowd was going crazy, amazed at what I had done. I tooke the band off my forehead and shoved it in my pocket. I walked over to my bag picked it up and started walking away. Halfway to the store I heard someone running up to me.
"Aw, not again.."
I turned around to see who my competiion was. An old man approached me with a smile and said.*
"Kenshi, that was magnificent. I have never seen such power from anyone."
I've never seen this man before though and wondered hiw he knew my name. With a confuzed look on my face I asked.
"I'm sorry, but do I know you?"
The man walked up to me shaking my hand and said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Song. I have seen you battle many others, and never had the courage to actually face you myself. I have wanted to give you something for a long time, but I just never had a chance to meet you. Please come with me I would like to show you something."
"Uh that's ok Song. I really have to go though."
"Oh but please Master Kenshi, you must come with me. I promise it won't take long."
The sadness in the old man's eyes drew me in to him. He looked very lonely and very poor. He had two rags stiched together as a shirt, and old ripped up shorts. I knew it wouldnt be right if I didnt go with him.
He led me in the opposite direction I was going. After walking for 20 minutes I finally asked him.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Oh don't worry Master Kenshi, you'll see, we're almost there."
After walking a little longer he finally stopped at a well.
"Now Master Kenshi, this is something you deserve. Something that should've already belonged to you. A great warrior needs a sword right? If you unseal this well then it's yours.
I was a little confused but I walked over to him. I did as he said and unsealed the well. What I saw was none other then a sword. It was perfect though, just what a warrior like I needed. I picked the sword up, but then something strange happened. I started to hear a noise that got louder and louder. I looked back and Song confused. But Song wasen't there. I heard the noises getting louder and the sounds of moans were heard. I looked back at the well and suddenly a stream of light struck me throwing me back violently. I struggled on the ground as the light was blinding me. I didn't know what was going on as I could not see anything.*
The light finally stopped, but I could not see a thing. I then heard someone walking torward me.
"Song. Song is that you?"*
"Kenshi, you are stupider then I thought. That light you were hit by was not any ordinary light. Unsealing that well you have released thousands of souls from within. Doing so you are now blinded. And my name is not Song...I am no beggar. I am a sorcerer, I am Shang Tsung.*
I heard him walking away and I called.
"Wait , come back! Come back!"
I felt my way around on the ground trying to get to my feet. I took the red band out of my pocket and instead of wrapping it around my forehead I wrapped it around my eyes. I picked up the sword and stood up.
"Now I have but one goal, to slay the sorcerer who blinded me."
"Hey..Kenshi! Face me. Let's see how tough you really are."
