Dan vs Kim Kaphwon
Walking around in a Thailand market place, he stops by a fruit
stand, examining the wares.
He is obviously of Asian descent, but is wearing a pair of blue slacks,
a white button up shirt, and hiking boots. He picks up an apple and asks
the vendor, "How much?". The vendor smiles, and responds not in the tongue
of the land, but Korean, "For you Mr. Kaphwon, it's on the house!"
Kim grins, nodding and responding in his native tongue "Thank you..." He
shines the fruit on his shirt and takes a bite, letting his gaze wander
the crowds. "Hmm...I was told that Sagat would be training up in the
mountains...and he would definately be a great challenge...I hope he will
honor me with a fight, or I came all this way for nothing..."
"Hey! You might as well give up on fightin Sagat, cuz I got a
score to settle with him first! and when I'm done there won't be nuttin
left!"
"Excuse me? And you are...?" Kim takes another bite of the apple,
crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm the master of the Saikyo style of karate! The greatest
fighter ever! I am Dan Hibiki!" He brandishes his left fist, shaking it.
Kim finishes off the apple, tossing the core into a nearby garbage
can, and faces Dan, "I've heard of you. You have some potential, but from
what I hear you've had quite a few defeats...I'm Kim, Kim Kaphwon..."
"Yeah! Well, well, your record ain't so hot either! I heard Terry
Bogard handed you yer head! And a suped up Cheng Sinzan almost killed you!
In front of that mediocer wife and retarded kids!" He bounces around,
laughing.
"You got guts kid...not many people get away with wearing a hot
pink gi..." Kim slowly turns to walk away, "Your wasting your time, I'm
here to fight a man of honor, not some hotheaded idiot..." Suddenly he
feels something hit the back of his head. He turns, seeing a smooshed
apple on the ground and Dan laughing uncontrollably. "You really want a
fight? Fine...just don't come crying to me after I defeat you..."
"Hey, aren'cha even gonna bother changin into a fightin uniform?
I'd hate to get yer pretty outfit dirty!" He hops around, laughin.
"Don't worry about it Hibiki..." Kim begins to charge his chi, and
the clothes he has on burn away, revealing a black tae kwon do gi with red
trim.
"Nice trick! Now prepare to fight!" Dan takes his stance, quickly
advancing. Kim hops foward, throwing out a jabbing straight kick. Dan
blocks it, and comes back with a hard right hook. Kim hops back, dodging
it, but taking note of his oppenents speed. They move around each other,
a crowd starting to gather. "Look at all my adoring fans Kaphwon!"
"I think they just want to see a fight...speaking of which" Kim
suddenly somersaults his body in a flipping split slash kick, a wave of
chi slicing down Dan's body. Dan flies back, sliding across the ground
on his side, and rolls onto his feet.
"Not bad, but I'll show you real power!" Dan dashes forward,
bringing up his right fist, "GADOKEN!" A surge of chi flies forward,
and Kim hops back to avoid the fireball. Kim's mind races, "Damn, he
has a projectile, could be trou..." The thought cuts off as Dan's Gadoken
disspates right in front of his blocking arms. Kim begins to laugh,
wondering if maybe Dan screwed up the attack.
"Hey! What are you laughing at! You just got lucky that my
Gadoken missed!"
"Missed? It didn't get anywhere near me!"
"Shut up! KORYUKEN!" Dan leaps forward then executes a flying
uppercut, knocking Kim into the air. He lands on his feet, but a bit
shaken.
"Perhaps I have underestimated you Hibiki..." A smile touches
his face, and Kim rushes forward, throwing a double kick with his right
leg, snapping at Dan's face. Dan reels back, and Kim follows it with a
right hook, then uses the momentum for a powerful roundhouse. Dan drops to
one knee, blood flowing from his nose. Kim hops in, preparing to finish
him off.
"KORYUKEN!" As Kim nears, Dan attempts another uppercut. Kim leaps
into the air, dodging the rising punch, and sails down, his legs extending
like he is climbing stairs. His right foot connects with Dan's forehead,
and he immediately stomps with his left, smashing his nose, then his
right, then left, then right, for a continuous series of eight stomps. By
the last one Dan is driven into the ground, his face a bloody mess. Kim
steps off of Dan's head, hopping back.
"Sorry about that kid...but maybe that blood will blend in with the pink..."
"We...aren't done yet..." Dan slowly rises to his feet, wobbling a
good deal. "SHINKUU-GADOKE-URK!" Before Dan can finish Kim smashes his
face with a powerful spinkick. Dan spins like a top, then falls to the
ground. The crowd applauds, and Kim waves, a haunted smile on his face
and walks away from the scene.
