Chapter 8 - Tournament participants

After releasing parachute that attached to our back, we swim toward the shore of the island. The day is almost dusk and we have not much time to reach the shore.

"Sister Li, Ken, save your breath, we must arrive at the shore quickly or we will be dismissed from the tournament"

"Okay, Ryu!"

"Yes brother Ryu"

After reply my words they start to swim faster. Chun Li with her legs power swimming like a dolphin in the water, while ken with his agility rotating his arms like a propeller and dashed forward. They both left me behind that stunned with their speed in the water.

Damn! If I can't catch them it would be me that dismissed from the tournament. I must have a way to catch their speed. My brain racking hard how to able catch their speed in the water. I don't have agility like Ken nor strong leg like Chun Li, all I have is my Qi power that stronger than them. How can I use this Qi power to make me come ashore faster? Can this Qi power use like a jet engine that pushes the plane above? Well, there's nothing to lose with trying that now, but it must in form of continues flows not just a fireball form like Hadoken.

I'm trying to remember any game character that can use Qi power like the burst of fire similar to a jet engine. Oh, I know! That character that already famous before street fighter launched. I turn my back facing the shore while take stance like that character usually does before releasing his powerful Qi strike. I take a deep breath and concentrate my Qi power to my hand. With a slowly shouting name of that strike, I thrust both my palm ahead.

"Ka….me…ha….me….HAAA!!!!"

A golden light comes out from my palm, push my back against the water and send my body fly toward the shore. Within a blinking eye, I already passed Ken, Chun Li and other participants that swimming toward shore. Oh shit, it works!

"WHATT!!"

Ken look at me with disbelief eyes when I'm passing him with incredible speed. I just wave my hand toward Ken.

"Brother Ryu is so cool!"

Chun Li looking at me with admiration eyes when I passing her.

When my legs feel already touch the soil, I do a somersault to reduce the pushing effect from Kamehameha strike that I just release before. With a beautiful landing, I managed to stand firm in the ground. It seems I'm the first participant that reaches the shore from the participant that jump off the plane with me. I can see Ken and Chun Li following me to ashore. When I scrutinize my surrounding, I see a man approaching from the island.

I help Chun Li and Ken to land on the shore while my eyes keep that man on my sight. I'm a bit distracted when seeing Chun Li drenched clothes that make a mold on her beautiful body. I take a towel from inside my waterproof traveling bag and handed it to Chun Li

"Sister Li, please dry yourself with this towel"

"Thank you, brother Ryu. What a rude welcoming, all my clothes in my bag is all also wet"

She accepts my towel with gratitude looks and starts to wipe the water from her body. Meanwhile that man already close to the place where we come ashore.

"Congratulation ladies and gentlemen, you managed to arrive in this island before dusk. That's mean you are eligible to enter the World Martial Art Tournament. I'm chief of the organization that makes this tournament, Abel LeBleu, welcoming you all. Don't worry about that wet clothes, we provide accommodation that including clothes and food for all participants that eligible to enter the tournament"

From the island come some off-road vehicles that bring us to the inner island where the tournament will be held. From participants that come with me, I can see all the faces that I known before managed to enter the tournament like Guy, Honda, Retsu etc.

When we arrive at our accommodation, I'm really surprised because I never expected in this island, there's a luxurious building like five stars hotel. We are giving keys for our respecting rooms and in this hotel lobby, I also see many more characters in street fighters like Zangief, Guile, Cammy, and a man wearing a mask, is that Vega? Vega is known as bison right-hand man, so Bison's organization is behind this tournament?

After seeing some participants in the hotel lobby, my mind becomes a bit restless. There's something fishy behind this tournament. As far as I know, Bison's organization, Shadaloo making the experiment in clones and other human experiments. I must warn Chun Li and Ken to be more careful during our stay on this island and during the tournament.
