7 Ch. 7 - The fight

[Alright guys, hear me out. I just read a comment which suggested that Jin would live his life in the Kung-Fu Panda world as Tigress as his only woman then dies in that universe before proceeding to the next universe where he would live his life once again with only one girl. So basically, it's like one woman per universe and they don't know about one another. It's like Jin have different lives in every universe.

However, I don't like my character to die, so instead of dying. I would just make it so when Jin goes to another universe, the time will stop in the previous universe, so he could go back whenever he wanted or something.

This isn't confirmed yet, as I want your opinions first and probably suggestions.]

Facing Tigress's angry face, Jin found it a bit cute, however her next action made him think twice.

Tigress grabbed the hand of Jin that he used to grab her wrist before using it as a support to jump and kick Jin with both of her legs.

*Bam!*

Too late to react, Jin was thrown back and stumbled upon a few tables and chairs.

"Sorry, Mr. Ping." Jin immediately got up and apologized.

"It's okay, focus on your fight." Mr. Ping forgave him just as quickly.

"You don't know any Kung Fu, so you don't stand a chance against me." Tigress confidently said as she patted her shoulder.

"It never hurts to try." Jin smirked and shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll wipe that arrogant face of yours! Hah!" Having enough of Jin's smirks, Tigress took the initiative to strike first.

Stepping back a little, Jin avoided her punch and tried to retaliate with a knee to her abdomen.

*Bam!*

However, Tigress just blocked it with her palm and uttered the words.

"Strong but not strong enough!" Sliding her hands through Jin's legs, she gripped Jin's foot and used her legs to deliver a devastating kick towards Jin.

'Okay, this is bad.' Jin said to himself in fear as he realized that Tigress's grip on his foot made him unable to escape so with that, he was forced to defend Tigress's kick by crossing his arms in front of him.

*Boom!*

At the same time, releasing her grip on his foot, Jin was blown away in the air and landed on the table.

Just as Jin was about to get up, Tigress appeared in front of him and tried to claw him with a clawed palm, thankfully, Jin was in a state of alertness and combined with his senses, Jin managed to roll away from the table.

*Crack!*

*Bam!*

As Tigress's palm landed on the table, it was halved into two as Mr. Ping cried out.

"My table!"

"She did it!" Jin didn't hesitate to point his finger at Tigress and immediately blamed her.

"What?" Tigress was shocked and confused by the sudden blaming.

"W-we'll just pay for it." Crane immediately said while asking Monkey to lend a few coins to pay for the tables.

"What? Why mine?" Monkey complained.

"Remembering that time when you accidentally destroyed my brush? You can pay up now and besides, I didn't bring my money with me and I know you always bring your own money whenever we go out." Crane explained as Monkey grumbled.

"Ugh, fine." After a slight reluctance, Monkey finally gave in and plucked a few coins on his pouch and handed it to Crane who then gave the coins to Mr. Ping.

"I'm sorry for the damage. This should be enough to pay it up." Crane apologized first before handing him the money.

Of course, as a businessman, Mr. Ping isn't someone to refuse someone giving him money, even if it's the legendary Furious Five.

"Apology accepted." Mr. Ping said before grabbing the coins and putting it on his own pouch.

***

When Tigress saw this transaction, she grew embarrassed and couldn't help but growl at Jin, for making her friends pay up for her mistake.

"That's it!" After a yell, Tigress stomped on the ground, causing shockwaves that blew Jin's hair back.

'Holy shit!'

Jin's back was full of sweat now, he's thankful that he got Jin Kazama's Template or else, he wouldn't even last a second at Tigress.

Just when Jin was finally about to surrender, Tigress was still angry at this time, so she didn't spare him the effort to surrender and directly went to put Jin to sleep.

"Oh fuck." Jin closed his eyes and waited for the pain to register, however nothing came, so he opened his eyes and saw that Tigress was already on the ground, kneeling along with the Furious Five.

With a confused look, Jin searched around and found the answer to his confusion.

It turns out, Master Shifu has arrived and stopped Tigress from 'finishing' him off.

"I told you not to make a ruckus!" Master Shifu glared at the Furious Five who all looked down on the ground, not daring to meet Master Shifu's eyes.

"We use Kung-Fu to protect the weak! Not fight them!" Master Shifu sternly glared at the Furious Five before turning his gaze back to Jin, as his glare softened down a little.

'Am I tripping or did he just call me weak?'

"Master Oogway taught me that you were the Dragon Warrior. Nothing is an accident. I apologize for my previous actions, I hope I can be forgiven." Master Shifu said and apologized before bowing down his head, shocking the Furious Five at seeing their master bow down to someone other than Master Oogway.

Seeing that even Master Shifu was willing to set his pride aside just to have him back, Jin finally relented and forgave him.

"Fine. I also apologize for my actions." Jin said and bowed his head at the same time.

Anyways, he's not gonna prolong this any further as he would also like to learn Kung-Fu since that is his purpose here in this world anyway.

***

Another day has passed and Jin already arrived back in the Jade Palace where he was given a robe, more like a Kung-Fu robe however, Jin refused it. He'd rather wear the same thing as Jin wears in Tekken, which is a topless top, showcasing his body that hasn't formed any muscles yet but will soon show as the time passes.

His bottom is also the same one as Jin wears, which is a black trousers with a red, orange and yellow flame design on the right pant leg and red and black footpads.

He also wears the Mishima style red gauntlets with a triangular pattern of metallic studs on the back of the hands.

Although Master Shifu thought that the outfit was too weird but nonetheless, he agreed and submitted the design to their tailors.

Arriving at the training halls, Jin was met with the Furious Five training with several tools and objects, showing their incredible skills and styles.

"You will be starting with this." Master Shifu said while pointing his finger towards the wooden dummy.

"Do I just punch it or something?" Jin asked.

"Punch, kick or anything that you know, I'll be the one deciding if you're worthy to proceed to the next level." Master Shifu said with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, the Furious Five stopped their training and started watching the ordeal.

They were curious about Jin, since despite not knowing anything about Kung-Fu, he still managed to last over a minute with Master Tigress. Something that only some of them could do since Master Tigress always shows no mercy when it comes to sparring.

Being watched by several masters made Jin nervous, so he just simply delivered a simple right elbow strike which made the wooden dummy bend backwards, almost touching the ground before striking back at Jin with full force.

Seeing this, Jin reacted and used his left hand to block the counter strike and used his right hand to strike hard using his palm.

*Bam!*

Just like what happened before, the dummy just bent backwards before striking back towards Jin.

This is how the wooden dummy is made. The stronger you strike them the stronger their counter strikes are.

This time, Jin wanted to make sure that the dummy won't strike back so he stepped back a little, avoiding the counter strike of the dummy and used one of Jin Kazama's techniques in the game, which is the Left Drill Punch.

This move is known for dodging an opponent's attack and counter attacking towards the solar plexus of their opponent.

So, the moment Jin stepped back, avoiding the strike of the dummy, he immediately dashed forward and used his entire body to deliver a devastating strike towards the middle of the dummy.

The moment his fist came in contact with the dummy, a cracking sound was heard throughout the room and the dummy, which was supposed to just bend backwards, was blown away from the punch and collided with the wall a few meters away from its supposed position.

'Okay, that's cool but it hurts my knuckles a bit.' Jin said to himself as he painfully removed some splinters on his knuckles.

"Impressive." Master Shifu sagely nodded while caressing his beard.

"It reminds me of Tigress's style, which is always offensive but what he showed us is a mix of both defense and offense." Mantis said after observing.

'How come he didn't use that move to me when we fought? Is he looking down on me?' Tigress's thoughts were far from theirs as she thought that Jin was looking down on her. Unknown to her, Jin just came up with this move on the spot, so he just technically used this move for the first time. However, to the other Masters, they thought that Jin has practiced this move several times since it looks like Jin has mastered the move.

"Is that good?" After removing all the splinters, Jin's knuckles were now bleeding a little so, Master Shifu replied and sent him to the infirmary.

"You have exceeded my expectations but first you should get that healed. Come back after a few hours."

***

While Jin was being taken care of, Tigress was growling as she realized that Jin must've really looked down on her by not using that technique.

'Does he think that I'm not worthy to face the move?' Soon after, Tigress was plagued by thoughts of Jin's face.

"Hah!" With a war cry, Tigress punched the wooden dummy so hard that it cracked in the middle and it soon continued before breaking into pieces. She has always trained in strength instead of anything defensive so she's always considered the main force of the Furious Five and also the strongest but she knew that if it comes to a real fight with the masters such as Master Shifu, she would probably be defeated in just a few seconds due to her lack of defensive techniques.

Perhaps the only defensive techniques that she knew are blocking, parry and dodging. But It's different from the likes of Mantis who could transfer the force of the enemy's strength back to itself or Viper who could slither around and use her enemies body to fight others or theirselves.

But, she only knows offensive techniques.

'No, I only need strong strength, that's what it requires to be the Dragon Warrior, to have the strength to vanquish his enemies.' Tigress resolutely said to herself before resuming her training.
