Elseworlds Immortal Iron Fist 1.7

Volume 1 Issue 7 - Contest of Champions

 

Dani strode down the corridors of the great hall of K'un Lun, ignoring all the other competitors that prepared for battle. Most wore masks anyway so Dani had no idea who she was fighting. But that didn't matter to her. Despite her nerves most of her body was filled with excitement and passion. She knew this was it, her first and maybe only chance of saving her father. She continued to pace down that hallways towards the main hall. As she approached the huge wooden doors with gold decorations she noticed Lei stood there waiting for her. "Ah Dani there you are. How are you feeling?" She walked up to him "ready." He smiled like he wanted her to say that. "Do you want me to run through the format of these contests with you?" Dani nods, as if she is to focused to speak. "Well they're very simple, you being my champion will fight against three opponents, all being the champions of the other masters. Win all three and Yu-Ti will grant you any possible wish. That's when you say that you wish to fight Shou Loa. You got all that?" Dani turned to look at him "yeah all good, just want to get started." She looked back at the doors waiting for them to open. "Just remember what I told you and you'll be fine, all you need to do is focus." A gong sounded and the doors opened, Dani was one step closer to her father already.

 

Dani cruised through the first two fights with ease, with the thought of her father in her mind there was nothing that was going to get in her way. Even though the two she's taken down were not as strong as her, she still felt the rush of excitement as she advanced to the final round. After an hour or so of waiting for her last fight the gong sounded, summoning Dani into the room again. She walked into the centre of the mat along with a fighter in a red gown with a mask over his face. Yu-Ti then rises from his seat, hushing the other masters. "Champions. Congratulations on making it to the final round. In K'un Lun tradition the final round will be a fight to the death." Dani's eyes widened. No where was she told that she would have to kill in this fight. She wanted to protest but Yu-Ti carried on talking. "Remember you are fighting this so you are granted any wish you dream from me. The fight between champion of Kung and champion of Wing will start at the gong. Can the champion of Wing please remove their mask." The fight in red rips off his mask and reveals his face. Dani looked over, instantly recognising the shaggy black hair and stone expression of Shang, the guard she met when she entered K'un Lun. Dani almost screamed, not only did she have to kill someone, but that someone had to be her good friend Shang Chi.?
