CHAPTER 2: tournament
once the ride was over Victoria walked into the woman’s locker room of the gym her mom fallowing her.
“ now Victoria you must remember to be careful around here. I hear they have a spoiled kid as there champion.”
“mother you have a problem with rich people?”
“ why no I do not. I have a problem with people getting things they have not worked hard for.” Victoria's mother smiled a sincere smile at her daughter. Victoria's mother was a 5'12” tan skinned woman She had fine red hair cut just above the shoulder that she almost always had in a ponytail, as always she wore a simple black suit with a light blue shirt. Victoria smiled at her mother as she took of her veil. Victoria's orange-red hair was long enough to reach her waist. Her hair enhanced her hazel eyes.
“ I know mother but I still don't like it when you speak like that. So whose house are we staying over today?”
“ oh a friend of mine from back in my high school days. I heard she is married to a man of self made money. They have a 19 year old son together.”
“ mother are you still trying to find me a boyfriend other then Zetes?”
“ well he just does not sit well with me darling. At least think about it okay?” she kissed her daughter before going to sit in the stands.
Victoria put on her schools uniform which was nothing but what one would expect a martial arts student to wear.
She looked at herself in the mirror liking how the red belt looked on her waist, And how if she tightened it just right it would allow her to give others a little taste of what was underneath her robe. She smiled and laughed as she remembered her first fight with Zetes.
She walked out of the locker room to see a 6'1” dirty blond haired boy slam a smaller kid unto the ground for the winning point. The kid stood up the sweat dripping from his forehead and his well defined chest making many girls sweat themselves. He put his hands on his face pushed his hair back using his sweat to help make his hair slick back. he sat down on his team bench a towel over his head as he seemingly went to sleep.
“ h'm I bet that’s the arrogant punk my mother was talking about. who goes to sleep during a tournament?” she thought to herself as she sat down on her seat. a man in his 40's came to the ring to announce the next match, but before he could even begin there was a commotion on the team with the boy. He punched his coach in the stomach as the coach hit the floor the kid yelled at him.
“ if you ever wake me up again I will make you bleed!” the principal from that school took the two away. Victoria normally wasn't one for being a busybody. But it was intriguing to see how riled up he got from not being able to nap. just then she heard her schools name. She looked at her friends who nodded there heads and she went to the ring. Her opponent was a 22 year old.
“ I want a clean fight three points wins the match begin.” the bell was wrung and the fight began. Victoria's first few steps where straight forward as she just stepped towards him. he seemed to take this as her giving up and threw a punch. Only to have the punch slapped away by her right hand and her left holding it in place he tried to kick her on her legs, she just jumped back and out of his reach. Now it was her turn to attack she was unrelenting in her kick combos where ever she saw an opening she attacked it, every once in a while she would go for a punch combo to keep him of balanced. when it seemed he was tired She tried to punch him only to meet with a spinning counter kick. She quickly drooped to her knees and she tried to uppercut him. He easily side stepped it and grabbed her right hand with his left hand. He stepped inside of her guard zone so that the back of his right leg touched the back of her left leg. His right hand was over her chest and in one fluid and quick motion Victoria was on the ground.
“ one point.”
he let go of her and went to his corner Victoria stood up slowly, shaking her head and glad she was wearing her head gear.
“that guy knows his stuff. I guess that I have to step it up.”she thought to herself.
She rushed up to him surprising him with her speed she threw a faint punch kick combo. he seemed to have read her mind and stopped her kick but her right leg swiped his right leg so that he fell to the ground while she fell on her knees.
“ one point.”
they booth stood up and they booth began to throw some kick combos to match the other. None of the kicks met there intended target. Then at last she used a back hand slap to get the second point the last point was an easy one for her as she simply landed a punch on his abdomen. Her hand was raised in victory and she left to sit down and watch the rest of the tournament in peace.

The blond boy from earlier was in one of the last matches, his school seemed to be well built, but as she viewed it seemed as if he was the weakest in terms of skill. He mostly let his opponents tire them self out before getting his points. But he was now fighting one of her classmates and if there was one thing her classmates had it was stamina.
The bell rang and they booth stood waiting for the other to make a move. In the end Victoria's classmate, a tall European, sent a punch his way, as she predicted he easily side stepped it but it was a bit difficult to avoid his back fist without falling on the ground he just barely hanged on enough to stand on his hands and jumped forward making his opponent go back for fear of getting kicked. The blond smiled arrogantly, as he did many girls sighed, her classmate ran towards him trying to get him with multiple combos and attempts to grab him. He avoided them all with a flair she only saw when she fought a Brazilian.
He finally fell to a back fist. The second point again went to her team thanks to a sweep. The Blondie stood up his smile gone while his opponent had a smile. He said something to the male and got into a snake stance.
As they began running for each other it was now her team that was on the defense and not for long. for after deflecting and side stepping a few strikes the final step was deep inside of her team members territory it was for a second but she saw the way he moved in seemingly a second and memorize it.
While still in the snake style he tried to strike at his opponent who was so focused on getting away from him that he did not notice that he walked right into a trip from the leg that was inside his defense He got away from him and as her team mate got into his position they rushed towards each other.
slapping booth his opponents hands away the Blondie grabbed his opponents head and seemed to go for a ku-loi but instead at the last moment switched his legs hitting him in the stomach as he released his hold getting a hit and letting his opponent fall into the ground.
after he stood up the Blondie shake his head and turned around walking away.
Seeking to end the fight her team mate ran to him and threw a punch at his neck, but he was met with something different, Victoria was amassed at what she saw.
he docked the blow by seemingly bowing his front half but he let his right leg come out as his front bowed hitting his opponent in the stomach for the last point and the match.
In the end Victoria's team did not win thanks to the blondies team. they got the three matches needed to eliminate the opposing team. she looked at the blondies team as they got there trophy he was smiling but there ace, a Hispanic, was holding the trophy.
Victoria could not help but wish she had been able to fight him. She got out of the gym as quick as she could to go have lunch with her mother.
After her mother had a few drinks they went to a hotel to spend the rest of the day there till dinner time at her friends house. Victoria heard her cell phone ring so she answered it.
“ Vic here.”
“ that’s what your calling yourself now?” a deep manly voice answered.
“ father!” she almost forgot her mother did not know of what her daughter did and had to make sure her mother was sleeping.
“ yes it is I. I have a mission for you.”
“ I am currently with family sir.”
“ its alright you will just have to make sure son 3 does not interrupts a Mr. Macmillan's life for know.”
“ interrupt?”
“ yes. They are not to meet or talk if you are met with him you are to act as if you do not know son 3. is that understood?
“yes sir.” she hanged up and laid on her bed. “ I hope Zetes doesn't show up I would hate to do that to him.” she turned on her aim and seeing that he was online send him an encoded instant message warning him to not come near her or else she would not be able to help him. “man what I do for my work.”
she looked at the three story house that was where her mothers friend lived. Victoria was dressed in a tight fitting red shirt that showed a little cleavage and black silk jeans, with some heels. Her mother was wearing a black dress.
“ ah darling are you sure about this?”
“ yes mother I told you all men are pigs I will prove it to you.”
“alright.” her mother rang the doorbell and they heard the voices of people coming towards the door a sigh was heard from a man.
“darling do you have to dress the boy like that?'
“he looks fine.” the door was opened and a woman in about her 40's was there she was a fair skinned lady, with auburn red hair, her light blue eyes sparkled under all the lights in the house. Her voice was that of a hostess and a friend. “oh Magen welcome! sorry I wasn't able to see you earlier. My son had two tournaments today. Come in.”
she steeped aside and let them in
“ oh hello Sarah” they hugged and kissed each other. “its alright this is my beautiful daughter Victoria.”
“why hello Victoria. how are you doing?”
“ I am doing okay ma'am”
“ don't call me ma'am Now just come in first door you see.”
they fallowed her instructions to enter a living room that was elegantly decorated to look Gothic but still modern. In two of the comfy chairs stood two men arguing.
“ I am telling you dad I did the best I could.”
“ I saw your match please that girl from the other school could have whipped you if that was your best. By the way what did you say to your last opponent son?”
“ oh I just told him that he was good enough to get me serious, but not good enough to survive my attacks.”
“that’s my boy.”
they both raised there glasses for a toast and drank there milk.
“ now boys that’s not fair. welcome our guest.” They booth stood up the older gentlemen wearing a Grey suite with a wine red shirt and black,white, and red tie smiled and kissed booth there hands.
“ I am Luis MacMillan husband of your friend, and this gentlemen here be the fruit of my loins Mark Macmillan.”
“its a pleasure to meet booth of you.” the younger man bowed he had on a white silk shirt with a golden dragon embedded into it. He had on silk black pants and black shoes with a gold dragon embroiled on them. He stood up.
Victoria and Magen booth could not believe who they saw. His dirty blond hair and sky blue eyes gave away what his posture and seemingly scrawny physique could not. he was the arrogant rich kid from the tournament. He was in front of her smiling and she had to make sure that Zetes did not touch them. Victoria made a mental note to get a drink and to try and stay as far away from him as possible
