Wolves and Dragons Ch. 2
By Mariko Hoshi

"Ladies and Gentlemen... In the Young Dragons' corner is Josh Bison."

The Crowd went wild. "In the Japanese Corner is Iori" The Crowd was loud but not as crazy as when Josh was introduced. The pair of fighters faced one another to fight.

"So is it true, kid?"

"What do you mean is it true?" Josh looked at Iori. He had learned a bit about this fighter in his father's advices. He knew that he had to be careful or Iori might become Orochi Iori.

"That you are Bison's son."

"So, what's your point?" Iori couldn't believe this kid. "Fight!!!"The pair faced each other off. Josh noticed that Iori had his legs tied up with a belt. Josh then quickly jumped to one side of the ring. Iori followed him. Josh kicked at him. The Red haired fighter dodged the kick. "Dark Thrust!!" Josh felt the heat from the attack as he flipped away from Iori. "You are fast kid, but can ya dodge this?" The young Bison kept his eyes on Iori. "DarkCrescent Slice!!!" Iori came crashing down on Josh but... "Bison Warp!!!"

Iori hit nothing but air. He turned around to face a... "Tiger Uppercut!!!"

It was hard to say who was in more shock at the moment. Iori, Ryo, Mel or Mariko. Iori rose off the mat and came down hard.

"Well that answers one my questions."

"What's that Mel?" Mel turn to look at Mariko. His face was bruise. "I wondered if Josh knew any of Sagat's moves. You know how close Josh is to him..." Mariko nodded to Mel and looked back at the fight in the ring with their new friend. Iori came at Josh with a anger. This kid; he should've known that anyone with the name Bison had tricks up their sleeves. "Fire Wave!!!" Josh took most of the heat from the hit. He found himself against the ropes. Iori grins evily. Josh hated that kind of smile.

"Tiger Genocide!!!" Iori found himself in a wave of punches. He bounced a couple of times off the mat. He shook his head. "Now you'll pay punk! Now you';; pay!" Iori came up running towards Josh. The boy stood still. Mariko and Mel yelled out his name. "Psycho Crusher!!!!"

"Maiden Masher!!!" There was a flash of energy from the ring. Once everyone got there sight back both fighters were out cold.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. This fight is a Draw. Josh Bison and Iori are out." Mariko and Mel helped Josh out of the ring as Kyo dragged out Iori. That's when Kyo saw Mariko's hands glowing healing Josh's bruises. The boy wanted her to stop. He thought because Josh didn't want her to use up her energy before the fight. She just rubbed his head and kept on healing him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen... In the Young Dragons' corner... Mariko Hoshi!!!"The crowd was on their feet shouting.

"In the Japanese Corner is Kyo!!!" The crowd stayed on their feet and kept on shouting.

Mariko bowed to Kyo and then, got in a fighting pose. Kyo just stood there and looked straight into her amber eyes.

"FIGHT!!!
