When Japanese meets Chinese!

This isn't some racist or political stuff, just in case you were thinking so! It's another one of my fantasy dreams. Well, hopefully I keep seeing them for the rest of eternity.

This time, I'm not a part of the story. It's like watching television.

And here's the story:

uhh... okay............ Great, I just forgot how it started...Well, who cares? I don't! I'll just skip to the part I remember. The whole dream kind of revolves around the fight scenes anyway.

A big ship appears and docks at a small port. Disproportional if I do say so myself. The ship was the size of the Titanic and the port was just a small fishing village. Anyway, the fishing village was empty. The only people there were dead. I couldn't really tell whether that horrible smell came from the fish or the human corpses or both. The clouds became dark and there were flashes of lightning at the far end of the sea. The wind started to get stronger. To put it simply, it's a typical showdown scene.

Then, someone jumped down from the ship. The moment he landed, he lit a match and threw it onto the ship. Then, he ran swiftly into the village. From the way he ran, it was easy to tell he was the Japanese guy, Musashi Kaitou (somehow I remembered that name). His pace was insanely fast. In a minute, he was already out of the village. He turned around after he entered a forest. Then, above the towering trees came a flash of light. But, it wasn't the flash he was expecting. The flash was supposed to be white at first, then red could be seen from above the trees. But, it was just a brief white flash. It was just lightning, no explosion.

He waited. Two minutes...five minutes...ten minutes passed. And there was nothing. He said something in Japanese. I'll be nice this time and translate it for y'all.

"What happened? It should have blown up by now! I'm sure I covered the whole deck with oil!"

Shocked, he quickly ran back to check. When the trees did not block his view, he stared at the ship in shock. It was still floating, without even a single burn mark!

"Trying to erase all trace of your betrayal, Kaitou?"

A Chinese man was walking towards Kaitou. By the way, the Chinese guy's name was Liu Zi Huang (his last two names literally means little emperor). Zi Huang took out a burnt toothpick, and Kaitou realised that it was the match he lit.

"I caught it before it touched the oily floor. It was hard to walk, so it took me a while to come after you. I thought you would've ran far away by now, but who would've guessed that you came back after you realised that there was no explosion. Well, it saves me the trouble of tracking you down."

He said all of this in Chinese and I'm translating it, so it may sound weird. Sometimes, I even have to change the entire sentence to make some sense out of it. Oh, and for some reason, they used their mother tongue to speak to each other but one guy can understand what the other is saying.

Kaitou grinned and said, "Why didn't I expect you to come? You wanted an explanation, didn't you? So, listen well! I'm a Japanese! If my country is attacking yours, whose side do you think I should be standing?"

"You swore to help my country!" Zi Huang yelled. He was angry, but he remained calm.
"But I never agreed to betray mine!"
"Then, help both by preventing this war!"
"Why don't you do it, then!?"
"Your country is the one declaring war!"
"But yours attacked first!"
"Would you rather yours attack first then?!"
"No, I'd rather your country just surrender!"

Zi Huang was shocked. It's obvious now which side his friend (they were friends at the beginning) would take.

"So... That's how this ends huh? And I thought these things only happened in stories..."
"Zi Huang, join me. It's obvious my country will win. But we will have to sacrifice more. With your talents on our side, we can..."
"YOUR country will win?!"
"You may have numbers, but we have quality!"

Zi Huang detested Kaitou's arrogance. "Quality, huh? How about you prove that? NOW!" With a yell, he charged forward with his fists clenched at his waists.

Kaitou lowered his body and charged forward with one hand holding his sheath and the other holding the handle of his sword. When they were within range of each other, Kaitou quickly unsheathed his sword and slashed, while Zi Huang sent a punch forward.

The punch landed on Kaitou's face, but the slash was stopped mid-way. Zi Huang had used his free hand to grab the sword, hold it at a safe distance from himself and delivered the first blow. Kaitou flew backwards and landed on his back. Then, he saw Zi Huang's figure right above him. He rolled aside and managed to dodge a punch from Zi Huang. Kaitou quickly got up and slashed Zi Huang. To Kaitou's surprise, he felt himself swinging towards air. The next moment, an elbow had driven into his left cheek.

"This is what you call 'quality'?"

Kaitou cursed quickly increased his distance from Zi Huang. He cleared his thoughts and focused on his aim, to kill his former friend. His senses became stronger. He felt his body lightening. He lowered himself into the same attacking stance again. And he charged towards Zi Huang again. He closed in on Zi Huang in a split second and quickly slashed him.

"Did you think I stand and waited?" Zi Huang's words came into Kaitou's ears

Just when the sword touched Zi Huang's robe, Kaitou felt a strong force pushing him back. It was a force equaling that of a tidal wave. Zi Huang's palm pressed on Kaitou's face and he felt a sudden burst of energy exploding on his face. He flew backwards again, but he managed to flex his body to follow the direction of the force. This absorbed most of the blow and prevented serious injuries.

"The Dragon Subduing 18 Palms... The strongest bare-handed technique..." Kaitou thought.
"Kaitou, you should know by now. You can't win, no matter how hard you try."
"We won't know until we try!"

They continued the battle. However, Kaitou's swift and tricky techniques were still no match for Zi Huang's more straightforward but powerful attacks. Kaitou only had his flexibility and speed to dodge or absorb the blows he received, whereas Zi Huang had not even been scratched due to his impenetrable defenses.

After some time, Kaitou could feel the pain building up inside him. Zi Huang, however, was losing energy. His techniques were powerful, but they drained a lot of strength from him.

"Alright... I'll have to settle this in one go..." they both thought.

Zi Huang gathered the Chi in his body and prepared for his last blow. "The strongest of the 18. 'The Raging Dragon Shall Regret'!"

Kaitou focused his mind again. He could tell that Zi Huang's strength was depleting, but he wouldn't last another punch from Zi Huang either. "Alright! I'll fake an attack, dodge his counter and win this with a stab to his heart!"

"I won't lose!" they both yelled.

Kaitou charged forward and Zi Huang readied his defense. The distance between them reduced as Kaitou charged forward. Zi Huang collected all his Chi into his right arm and his strongest blow was ready. They felt time slowing down as they focused on how each other would act. They observed each other's movements. The tiniest change in their opponent would be vital. Their view of each other became larger and larger. Their faces serious, their eyes sharp, their mind focused. At last, they were within range. Kaitou unsheathed his sword for the last time in this battle, and Zi Huang pushed his arm forward.

The blade of Kaitou's sword glimmered in the gloomy background as it was pulled out from its sheath. Pure aura radiated from Zi Huang's palm. Both light blinded my eyes and I closed them. At the same moment, I heard the sound of an explosion and the sound of metal clashing.

I forced open my eyes to witness the result of their battle and I what I saw stunned me.

I saw the ceiling of my bedroom! "Aww... man!" I felt like screaming.

OK, that's it! End of story! So, who do y'all think won that match? I'll put a poll for y'all to vote. It's at the bottom of the page. I'll have the first vote, though. Haha!

Thanks for listening!
