The next day, The Tournament was already taken place. Red and Mystic advanced as well as Coldfront and Chill, and the Elite Ninjas, but backstage was the remainder of the qualifiers for the next round, and the winners of the semifinals as well, in one room together during Concession hour/Hour break. Coldfront was with his tag partner Chill, alongside Billy blue eyes drinking bottled water. Rayden and Nova walked over to them, "Congrats on making it to the Semifinals you two." Nova started the conversation, as She and Chill began to converse about the fights they had. "So what happens when Nova and I face him?" Rayden asked as they both looked at Chanzu who was sitting alone. "His chi level has risen since his bout in the first round, so he can be a potential threat in this tournament....there's something about him that is off." Coldfront pointed out, as Rayden stood up, "Chanzu!!!! I have to fight you today, and I.....Rayden Akemida, will be the one who defeats you!" he declared as everyone looked on. "Is that right, because the way I see it, is that you'll in this room Fear me....and you should, especially you Coldfront, because I have a little treat in store for you, I can care less about everyone else, but you, hmph....we will come in contact with one another, it's inevitable, and you can't escape from your destiny," Chanzu said with an angry tone, as Coldfront was a little shocked by what was transpiring. "And as for you Rayden, be careful what you wish for.....because you might just get it," Chanzu added, as the P.A system came on. "All remaining fighters need to head to the Arena." The proctor said, as everyone was exiting, as Chanzu and Coldfront stared at one another. "Let's go Coldfront." Chill said as Coldfront walked past Chanzu.
Moments later,
It showed Predator outside the perimeters. "Make your move quickly," he said.
"Good luck Rayden," Coldfront said as Rayden went into his Pod as well as Nova, followed by Chanzu then X-factor. "Welcome back ladies and Gentlemen, to the final round of the Quarterfinals. With only these four combatants remaining, Let the match begin!!!!!" The proctor yelled as the crowd started cheering.
Coldfront couldn't take his eyes off of Chanzu, as Chill became a little distressed, as it goes to the pods opening. "Begin!" The proctor yelled, as they all stalemated. "let's see if big bad Rayden lives up to his words." Chanzu asserted as Rayden became angry. Nova and X-factor went at it, as Rayden and Chanzu stood there staring at one another. "I'm gonna end you." Rayden declared. "My my, let's not jump to conclusions until after I defeat you," Chanzu added. "Just Shut your mouth bastard!!!!!" Rayden yelled, as he charged at Chanzu and started swinging ferociously, as Chanzu was dodging the oncoming assault. Chanzu then grabbed Rayden's arm and did a sidekick in Rayden's Rib cage area, then the sidekick to his face sending Rayden to the ground. Chanzu then grabbed Rayden by the throat, and began punching him in the face multiple times. "hahaha Weak!!!" Chanzu yelled, as he kicked Rayden again and as Rayden was hitting the ground, Chanzu even threw in elbow strikes, as he connected each time to the face of Rayden. Meanwhile, both Nova and X-factor connected their hits that sent one another out of bounds. "Woah! both Nova and X-factor are out of bounds, it's entirely up to both Rayden and Chanzu, to see who advances to the semifinals!" The proctor yelled as it showed Coldfront. "C'mon Rayden." he said to himself, as Rayden did a kip-up, "Ok Chanzu.....let's dance," he stated, as he went into an upright boxing stance. Chanzu then dashed at Rayden, as Rayden sidestepped him then landing a four-hit jab followed by a cross jab than an uppercut. Rayden then switched his style up and commenced running at Chanzu. A mirage of Rayden's then jumped in the air, then the real Rayden landed a tremendous blow to the stomach of Chanzu, as the crowd went wild. In the same position, Chanzu started laughing, which caught Rayden by surprise. "Do you believe you can defeat me with that?" Chanzu asked. "...huh that didn't even affect him at all," Rayden said to himself. "You're all talk kid, Now let me demonstrate what true power is all about!" Chanzu declared as Rayden jumped back, "what the.....His Chi is rising rapidly, what the..." Rayden said, but before he could finish, Chanzu dashed with tremendous speed and plowed Rayden in the stomach and drew blood, and then kicked him sending him back with full velocity. Rayden was flying out of bounds when Chanzu caught him. "I'm not done with you yet!" He yelled in an angry tone, as he started striking Rayden blow for blow in each area of his face and stomach, followed by a fast hit combo. Rayden's face was swelling, "RAYDEN!!!!!" Coldfront yelled, as it then showed Nova with a shocked expression on her face, as it showed Chanzu uppercutting Rayden sending him in the air following Chanzu teleporting behind him mid-air, and landed a hard right to the face of Rayden sending him to the ground with force. As Chanzu landed, Rayden was laid out on the battleground. "Next time you choose to fight me, don't," Chanzu said as he picked the weakened body of Rayden up, as Nova began crying. Chanzu then had black mist that covered his arm, then hitting Rayden in the face knocking him out." Chanzu then turned around and stared at Coldfront who was angry behind the mask. "W.....winner by knock out, Chanzu and X-factor." the proctor said, as the place was quiet at what just happened. Coldfront then jumped on the terrain to check on his unconscious friend. As Coldfront checked on Rayden, he then looked over to see Chanzu, and as some people walked past Chanzu, he vanished.
Later on, at the red dragons' lair,
Spain was there with 5 guardian ninjas, "So that's what happened?" He asked codozon. "Yes Mr. Spain," codozon replied, as one of the guardian ninjas said, "What about the chan family, and Amy, both losing members of their families, and all associated with the dragon clan, this isn't just a coincidence." The guardian ninja added. "I don't know....but, I know it involves Rajin of some sorts; but I will take the chan family and Amy with me, but in the meantime, Codozon, I give all leadership to you, you were master Zang Yongnian's right-hand man, I want you to look after everyone here and continue Zang yongnian's work and I'll return to the x headquarters and figure all of this out," Spain added, as he and the guardian ninjas departed, as the red dragon ninjas stood on both sides of the floor, leaving the middle space for Spain and company to leave.
That night during after hours,
Coldfront had just exited the hospital where his friend Rayden was. "Chanzu will pay for this," Coldfront said, and as he was headed back to the headquarters. Chanzu then approached, "Is that right?" Chanzu asked as Coldfront turned around to confront him. "You wounded my friend pretty bad, and you're gonna pay for this in the tournament." Coldfront declared. "Not as bad as I'm gonna hurt you right now." Chanzu said as Coldfront interjected, "You know the rules Chanzu, no fighting outside of Tournament grounds." as the wind picked up a bit. "Ooh, not too worry, this will fairly be one-sided, and after I demolish you, I'll do the same to that new girl chill," Chanzu replied with a peal of laughter. "Don't you dare think about touching her!" Coldfront interrupted. "Or what...you plan on stopping me like Rayden tried to?" Chanzu asked as Coldfront yelled, "Enough!!!!" While running at Chanzu. Chanzu then quickly kicked Coldfront with force. Coldfront then staggered to his feet, As Chanzu looked Coldfront in the eyes from a distance giving him what you would call, a glimpse of the future and the look of evil. As Coldfront then, envisioned himself standing in a distance looking at Chanzu who was, standing over the dead body of Rayden. As Coldfront was struck with fear, reality then kicked in, as the vision was over he was then looking chanzu in the eyes. "You....." Chanzu said while lifting Coldfront in the air by his shirt. "Your world will soon be crashing, and what you've just witnessed, was the future, and you will live in fear, I will kill everyone closest to you simply because you....cannot stop the inevitable, now here's a little farewell gift from your dear Ally. As Chanzu forcefully grabbed Coldfront by the throat with red smoke coming from his hands and engulfed around Coldfront, as he screamed with fear in his voice....." That's it!" Chanzu said with a certain alteration in his voice. As tears fell from Coldfront's eyes, as the cry from Coldfront could be heard in the building. Chanzu then dropped the now unconscious body of Coldfront then taking off to end the Chapter.
