Elseworlds Immortal Iron Fist 1.8
Volume 1 Issue 8 - Master of Kung Fu
"Shang!! What the hell is going on? What in the lords name are you doing here, now?" I shout across the mat at my friend. Shang takes up his fighting pose, "I'm doing this for my family Dani. They need protection which a cannot provide. The only way I will be able to protect them is if I can get the council to!" We circle each other for a few seconds, I try to work out what the hell is happening. "I won't kill you Shang, you're my friend, and friends would never do this to one another!" He advances on me, and the last thing he says before the fight begins almost crushes Dani, "well I guess this brings about an end to our friendship!" He throws a punch straight for my jaw, still in shock My reactions are too slow. It clips my cheek knocking me off balance. Shang then sends two jabs into my side. This wakes me up a bit. I fly a rough punch towards his stomach but he blocks it with lightning quick reactions. "In my school of chi fighting they call me the 'Master of Kung-Fu." He spins, slicing my legs from underneath me. As I tumble to the edge of the mat he approaches, looking to pin me down. I notice his advancement, and a weakness in his fighting skills. I push my self to up off the floor, and like a torpedo, my feet fly into the centre of his chest. As I land I see Shang trying to catch his breath at the other side of the mat. I advance, knowing that I had the upper hand. As he climbs to his feet I throw a hard punch aimed at his face. He catches it making me look stupid. Shang rises to his feet and try's to flip me over but it doesn't work, instead I slip my hand free of his grip. Then starts a rally of lightning quick punches thrown from both sides, and blocked from both of us. Shang connects one against my stomach, then another across my cheek. I fall back on to one knee, and Shang continues to approach me, looking for the kill shot. That's when Lei's words race through my mind, "Focus Dani, FOCUS!" I look over at Lei, shoot him a quick smirk then turn my attention back to Shang. He approaches me, trying to figure out the best way to finish me off, but instead it's I who pulls out the kill shot. I launch myself upwards, fist first, straight into his jaw, sending him flying to the other side of the mat. I follow up, pinning down the lifeless body of my former friend. But he is not dead, I still see his chest rising up and down. I have the kill shot. I can now become the Iron Fist and save my father. But when the time finally rises, I can't do it, I won't do it. I look down at Shang's bloody and bruised face, un-pin him and rise to my feet. I turn towards Yu-Ti whose face is that of disgust. But before he speaks Lei stands, and says "Danielle Rand you really are the Child of the Prophecy." He and all the other master begin to applaud, leaving Dani stunned. Does this mean I can fight Shou Loa or not she thought?
