//------------------------------// // 1st World Stop: Japan // Story: Finishing The Story // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// The gang all got up the next morning and headed straight to the airport. They all purchased tickets to Japan and headed straight to the plane. The next 5 hours was a long flight. But they arrived in Japan and everyone got off the plane. They took the time to look around and enjoy the scenery. There was buildings all made of paper and wood, Japanese writing, and lanterns all around for nighttime. "Wow. Japan looks pretty nice. I wish Fluttershy could see this." Sunset said. "Yep. Japan is a beautiful place to be. But don't forget why were here." Ethan said. "Yeah we need to find Shinsuke Nakamura. He's the only one who knows the jujitsu and martial arts for stopping Roman's moves. Especially his Superman Punch." Rick said. "Okay so where do we start looking for him?" Rainbow said. "Well let's all look around town. Maybe someone knows where to find Shinsuke." Ethan said. "Good idea. Everyone spread out and we'll meet back here later." Rick said as the team split up to get info on where Shinsuke Nakamura is. XXX X XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX 3 hours have passed but no one could find anyone who knows where Shinsuke is. They all regrouped back where they started. "You guys find anything?" Cody said. "Nope. We couldn't find anyone who knows where he is." Sunset said "Bro. Maybe we gotta find someone who is close to Shinsuke Nakamura. We find that person then maybe we'll find him." Rick said. "That's good thinking Rick. But do you guys know who's close to Shinsuke?" Rainbow said. "The only person I know who's close to Shinsuke Nakamura is the Empress of Tomorrow: Asuka." Ethan said. "Well someone did their homework. Okay so we find Asuka and we'll find Shinsuke." Cody said. "But where can we find her? She could be anywhere." Sunset said. "My guess is the Japan Hall. Which is...up....on....those.....mountains." Ethan said. The Japan Hall is indeed on the mountains but it looks way too high up. "But how do we get up there?" Sunset said. "I have an idea. Taxi!!" Rick said as he got the attention of a taxi driver. "Where do you need to go?" The driver said. "Take us to the Japan Hall. We seek the Empress of Tomorrow." Rick said. "Ok. 2 hour drive but I'll take you there." The driver said as the team got in the taxi and rode off to the Japan Hall. XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX Meanwhile at Canterlot High we see Sunset's friends all waiting for her to come here. But she hasn't been able to come here for a week now. Same can be said for Rainbow Dash. They were all starting to get worried. "Where's Sunset? She should be here by now." Twilight said. "Same for Rainbow. She's always been late for class." Rarity said. "Well Rainbow's always known for being late. However Sunset's never being late for class." Applejack said. "I just hope she's okay. I wonder where she is?" Fluttershy said. "Is it perhaps that I overheard them going with 2 wrestling fans of Cody Rhodes and planned to ditch school with them to travel around the world helping him become the next champion before the deadline expires or their dream is crushed?" Pinkie said quickly. "WHAT?!" The Rainbooms said. "Pinkie!! Why didn't you tell us about this?!" Twilight said. "Oh sorry girls. I was tired from baking sweets." Pinkie said. "Well since NOW you mention it! We need to find them and bring them back!! They cannot be with those ruffians!!" Rarity said. "Good plan Rares. So where are they right now?" Applejack said. "I'll look up online and see. We got to bring them back!" Twilight said as she did her research finding Ethan and Rick. XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX Back in Japan we see the taxi park in front of the mountains. The team all headed out and Rick thanked the driver as he left. They found the Japan Hall. Only problem was getting up there on the 2 mountains. "Well we found where Asuka is. But how do we get up there?" Sunset said. "I don't know. None of us brought any hiking equipment to hike the mountains." Rainbow said. "Looks like our only option is to climb the mountains. I know it sounds like a long climb but we have to get up there." Ethan said. "He's right. Everyone start climbing!" Rick said as everyone begin climbing the mountains. They climbed and climbed the mountains for a good 2 hours. They were giving their all til they all finally reached the top. Ethan helped Rick and Sunset up while Cody helped out Rainbow. They were all tired and sweaty but they finally made it to the Japan Hall. It was a palace fit for an emperor or empress. They looked and saw 2 guards at the entrance. "Okay guys. We made it. The Japan Hall." Rick said tiredly. "Wow! That was a long climb! My legs are so tired!" Rainbow said. "I know Rainbow. But we made it. Now we gotta find The Empress of Tomorrow." Ethan said as the guards came to them and held out their spears. The group was shocked by this. "State your business! Why are you here? No one could been able to climb the mountains." One guard said. "Whoa at ease guards! We seek the Empress of Tomorrow. We need her to find Shinsuke Nakamura. We just want him to train Cody the jujitsu and martial arts to become the next champion in WWE. Is she there?" Ethan said. "Lucky for you she's here." The other guard said as he rang the gong. The doors opened and out came a lady in a empress outfit, with red and blue hair, and an empress crown on her head. She was the Empress of Tomorrow: Asuka. She saw our heroes and they bowed in respect. "Asuka. The Empress of Tomorrow." Ethan said as he bowed in respect. "You came a long way up here. Tell me. Why are you here? And why do you seek me?" Asuka said. "Asuka. We came here for a reason we will explain. Our friend Cody Rhodes is having a long way to become the next Undisputed WWE champion. But the Bloodline has been ruining his chances. We came here to get Cody some martial arts and jujitsu training." Ethan said. "We humbly request that you can take us to Shinsuke Nakamura. We know he's the only one who knows the jujitsu and martial arts better. Can you take us to him?" Rick said. "Hmmm. Interesting. Since you're willing to help Cody I will take you to Shinsuke. But if im willing you help you guys...then I want something in return." Asuka said. "And what would that be Asuka?" Sunset said. "In return for taking you all to Shinsuke Nakamura I would like a Woman's Title shot match...in a Steel Cage." Asuka explained. "Against who though?" Rainbow said. "That's easy I want that match against Rhea Ripley. Ever since she got her hands on that gold she's been trying to protect it ever since. Not to mention that with her Judgement Day goons interfering in every Woman's title match. Especially her boy toy: Dirty Dominik Mysterio. So if I help you guys you must get me a title shot with Rhea in a Steel Cage so her goons can't interfere. Can you do that?" Asuka said as the boys thought about it. "Yes Asuka. We can do that for you. Lemme call Triple H and see what we can do." Ethan said as he got his phone out and made a call. XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX In the office of Triple H we see him working on some papers. He was busy for a while til he heard his phone go off. He picked it up and heard it was Ethan calling him. "Hello?" Triple H said. "Hey Triple H. It's me. Listen I got a favor to ask you." Ethan said. "Okay. What's the favor you need?" Triple H said. "Well we found Asuka who's going to take us to Shinsuke Nakamura. But if she's willing to help then she wants a title shot against Rhea in a Steel Cage Match. Can you make that official?" Ethan said. "Hmm. Well since you're helping Cody become champion my answer is yes. Asuka will get her title shot against Rhea for the Woman's RAW title next week. It will be official." Triple H said. "Thanks Triple H. I'll let Asuka know. Goodbye." Ethan said as he hung up. "Asuka. I have good news for you. I spoke with Triple H and he will give you your title match against Rhea next week in a Steel Cage." Ethan said. "Ah wonderful. Finally I can give revenge on Rhea. For all those years of humiliation. Now I said I would take you to Shinsuke Nakamura. Follow me down the secret path and we'll head right to him." Asuka said as she led them down the secret path to Shinsuke. She finished taking them down the path and found a man with long hair on one side meditating. He was the King of Strong Style: Shinsuke Nakamura. "I now leave you with him. Good luck." Asuka said as she took her leave. "Shinsuke." Rick said as he and the others bowed in respect. "Ah yes. I've been expecting you. You're the boys who are helping The American Nightmare finish his story yes?" Shinsuke said. "Yes we are. We came here cause we know you can help Cody learn the jujitsu and martial arts he needs to stop Roman and become the next champion. Can you help us?" Ethan said. "Yes. I hear your request loud and clear. But if im going to help you then I wish to hear it from Cody himself." Shinsuke said pointing at Cody. Ethan and Rick encouraged him to talk to Shinsuke. Cody got the courage and went to him. "Shinsuke. I wish to learn jujitsu and martial arts to stop Roman Regins. Can you help me?" Cody said. "Yes I can Cody. Meet me at the training grounds and we can begins." Shinsuke said as he led everyone to the training grounds. Cody and Shinsuke went in the center while everyone else watched from the sides. "Cody. To become a master at martial arts and jujitsu you must think like a ninja. Let your mind and body become one and use your chi to finish your story. Shall we begin?" Shinsuke said. "Yes Shinsuke let us commence." Cody said. The two got in fighting positions and thus began their training. We start off with them learning traditional Japanese kung fu moves like back kicks, knife hands, roundhouses, hammer fists, crane kicks and much more. We then see the two use those skills in battle. It lasted for 20 minutes and Cody was starting to get the hang of it but needed more training. Next we see him learning some harder martial arts. Cody had completed some obstacles Shinsuke made for him to go through. He then faced Shinsuke in a race to see how much speed Cody gained from the obstacles he completed and won. But it wasn't over yet. Then Cody practiced some weapon use with training sticks. He and Shinsuke were giving their all in this battle and Cody won by catching Shinsuke off guard and took that advantage to beat him. An hour passed and the two finished their training. They bowed in respect as Ethan rang the gong ending the montage. "You have done very well Cody. Now you must use what I taught you in a match." Shinsuke said. "Against who?" Cody said. "You must face against him." Shinsuke said pointing at someone. He was wearing a Japanese dragon attire and went to Cody ready to fight. He was Ultimo Dragon. A really good Japanese wrestler. "Now let the battle commence!!" Shinsuke said as Ethan rang the gong. The two got in fighting positions and thus began the battle. They charged into battle and started to fight. Cody was about to be hit by his strike attacks but he dodged. He then he punched him like Bruce Lee and stung him. He took the opportunity and used a back kick in his face. Ultimo Dragon got up and ran to him preparing a spinning wheel kick but Cody jumped up and dodged it. Then he used a Dragon Sleeper to put Ultimo to sleep. But he got out of it and prepared to fight again. He then tried a shadow clone jujitsu and try to confuse Cody. But he learned not to hit the clones and stop the real deal. He sensed where the real Ultimo is and punched him making all the clones disappear. Ultimo had enough and prepared his finishing move: The Dead Level. He tried to catch Cody but he dodged by jumping up and stomped on his head grabbing him when he landed. Cody then used his own finisher: The Cross Rhodes and finished him off. Shinsuke saw Cody win and signaled Ethan to ring the gong ending the fight. "Well done Cody. You completed your training and earned everything you learned." Shinsuke said. "Thanks Shinsuke. We couldn't have done it without you." Ethan said. "You're very welcome. Now you must rest. Let your chi charge up for Wrestlemania." Shinsuke said. "I will Shinsuke. Thank you for training me." Cody said as he and the others left. XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX We see the gang at a hotel resting up for another day of training but before Ethan and Sunset could sleep they had some things to talk about. "Hey Ethan. Can I ask you something?" Sunset said. "Sure. What is it?" Ethan said. "Since we got the chance to talk I wanted to ask you this. When we first met did you have a crush on me?" Sunset said blushing. Ethan blushed when she said that. "Of course I did. I mean I cannot deny your beauty any longer." He said. "Well Ethan there's something I want you to know too. I've developed feelings for you too. Ever since we started hanging out bonding our love for wrestling. I felt a connection between you and me." Sunset said. "I felt the same way. Now how's about you join me on my bed for a cozy sleep?" Ethan said taking his shirt off relieving his muscular torso. "Oh you handsome beast." Sunset said as she took her clothes off leaving her bra and panties on. "Ooh. Papa likes. Now come over here!" Ethan said as Sunset ran to him and passionately made out. They continued doing that til they needed to rest on the bed. They were sweating and panting. "Oh wow Ethan. That was something." Sunset said. "You bet it was sweetheart. Now let's rest for tomorrow. You really worned me out." Ethan said. "Okay handsome. Good night." Sunset said as she snuggled up to Ethan and fell asleep. "Night Sunny." Ethan said as he kissed her forehead and cuddled her falling asleep as well. Next time we'll see the team in a new place around the world.
