I Not Stupit, Not


Remember once (or more) in your lifetime, when you think that you are pretty smart? And people look up to your advices and opinions? And then you realized that they are just 'lips servicing' you? I never thought I am a smart kid. Maybe I shouldn't have. My father says I am pro 'smart ass'. Got a bright future as a lawyer. In cantonese, 'sei cheng bah hao'. Maybe I should stick to being a smart ass, rather than aiming high. Lol. Uh? Who's that handsome in the picture you say? That my ass. Ain't he a smart looking one. And good looking too. Except for the wrinkles near the hole. And the poison pimples that aren't illustrating out. And err... almost everything.

Chronicles of MoSim

I have decided to punch down this story in my brain, so I don't need to remember it in detail. Its a story inspired by many chinese/japanese action manga/tv serries. So I decided I should give it a try. Pls do not mind my broken english/grammar and from time to time, 'weird' unknown words, since I will use some cantonese for the words I failed to translate.



Chapter 1



Once upon a time in China, the 'Wu Lin' (world of martial arts) was once reunited by a brute force lead by an powerful yet evil warrior nick named 'The Black Fist' because of his infamous fighting style, which origin, is unknown. Rumor has it that his inner 'chi' can beat the leaders of 8 Great all together. Nobody knows his real name and the history of this character, but he single handedly beaten all of the clans including the famous ShaoLin, Wudang, and 6 other Great Clans (cant remember all... fill in later). Given no choice but to succumb to the evil, the lives of their clan members are spared.



3 painful years has passed. Its another anniversary of his rule of the 'Wu Lin'. All the major great clans and small clans, are marching together, towards his big villa, Hak Lum villa (dark wood), situated in between 2 giant mountains. Soon, just before noon, every one of the clans arrived at the big hall, waiting for the appearance of Black Fist, the leader of the WuLin* Announcement of the leader has been made, and he slowly waltz out ( matrix style with chinese music). Swinging his black cape away, everybody once again, catch the look of their leader, a handsome yet macho face, stern and powerful. As he sat down, every soul in the hall yell out to congratulate their leader. The 8 Great Clans paying respect one by one to the leader by presenting prosperity words and end up with wine offering.



As he was laughing away, suddenly, a coffin fling towards to center of the hall (typical yeah? wait, more story). Everybody scattered aside as the heavy coffin landed with a big thud. Laughing away, Black Fist thanks the anonymous for such a fine gift and ask him to show himself. Then, 8 arrows shot towards Black Fist. 2 of his bodyguard, the famous mute couple, The Sohs, flew out and deflect 4 of the arrows. Black Fist, still sitting down confidently, with a small chuckle, as the other 4 landed just beside his chair. Before anyone could react, the 4 arrows exploded.



As the haze clear, Black Fist stood up unharmed, while dusting his dress. Then he laughed. He explains that arrows was 'Arrow of Justice' (GongMing), belongs to the Emperor's Special Elite Unit, the Justice Elites (GongMing Troop), and person who commands them is General Hou Tien, the nick named Lion King, given from his bravery and and unique fighting style. Black Fist then welcome General Hou Tien for a cup of wine and the general steps in to the hall. Dressed in golden armor, a red cape with a word Justice, marched slowly towards Black Fist. General Hou Tien, the only general the who people of the world of martial arts respected, is famous of his martial art, leadership and loyalty to the emperor. In short years, he formed the Justice Elites (Gong Ming Troop) by the order of the king himself and his troop never failed in any war ever since.



The tension grew as the 2 aura of the great character clashes in the hall. Breaking the tension, Black Fist asked the general, what bring him here to his humble villa, and reminded him, that the government has no right to interfere with the matters of WuLin. Serious and emotionless, General Hou Tien then explained that it was the request from the clans of WuLin themselves to get rid of his dictatorship. Black Fist doesn't seems the be surprised, and ask General Hou Tien to leave and says that thing will not change, no matter how. As Black Fist walked away, General Hou Tien then, start attacking him.



The mute couples quickly defend their masters and after a few round, the general interrupted the fight and ask to stop as he knew the Soh couple were nice people. He ask why such a powerful and yet kind people working for such an evil man. They remain mute(duh). Black Fist then said he didn't ask them to do anything against their own will. He said that they never kills, but they are good enough to run other errands for him. Then the General accusing Black Fist of the rumor that he holds hostage of the couple's son so that they work for him. But the true mystery still remains. Both party then enters into a fierce fight and after more than 10 rounds, they exchanged hits. Black Fist stands so cool, seems unharmed by the general's attack, while the general flung back and fell on the floor.



Black Fist then made a joke about the general's Lion Fist, for his famous attack was full of exposed weakness. Quickly the 8 Great Clans came to the rescue and lifted up the wounded general, while others guarding the general from harm. Declaring war, the 8 clans surround Black Fist, and starting to attack. Black Fist's bodyguard, the mute couple, defended their master and fight along. Their fighting skill is so powerful that each of the mute can take on 2 Clan Masters. Left the 4 major clan masters to fight with Black Fist.



After rounds and rounds of exchanging hits, the all of the clan master suddenly team up and join forces together to give a final blow the black fist. The rumor was true. Black Fist took up the challenge and won the fight effortlessly. Laughing at the defeated enemies, he then suddenly realized something. He was poisoned. Thinking hard, he couldn't trace the origin of the poison. How could a mere poison harm him? He was protected by his incredible 'chi'. Even with the strongest poison, he could have been able to withstand it for more than 7 days easily.



Before he can say anything, someone steps in the hall. Holding a fan, a fragile looking man. Dressed as a scholar, Black Fist then realized, he is MunChi, the General HouTien's strategist, a very wise scholar. Smiling away, before even the Black Fist says a word, MunChi answers yes, you are poisoned. The wine, he explained. Combined with the explosion of the previous arrows, which contained a special flower spores, is a deadly poison. MunChi explained that normal human being will die on the spot, where for Black Fist, probably holds on for more than a week. He also explained that by that time, Black Fist will be cured if he can meditate with his overwhelming inner chi. But, the previous General Hou Tien's attack is a diversion. He purposely create the weak points to lure Black Fist to take the attack, exchanging just a blow at a vital acupunture point, which seems harmless. But that point increases the blood circulation, and hence brought the poison immediately to the heart. As a backup plan, the final attack of the 8 Great Clan masters which additionally excites the blood circulation was an extra guarantee to the plot. Taken aback by the explanation of MunChi, BlackFist laughed.




He then ask if MunChi ever miscalculated. And the scholar says no. Then BlackFist laughed again and say, maybe this is your first and last miscalculation. He then charged to MunChi. His inner chi was incredibly strong, even he was fatally poison, we can still fight at his 80% strenght. Everybody was shocked and try to protect MunChi, when suddenly the the coffin cover flung open vigorously and a masked man jump out to take on the attack of Black Fist. Surprised, the mute couple come to the rescue. The masked man easily fended of both mute couple and injured them. This masked man is strong . So strong that he deflected both the couple in just one hit. Witnessing the attack, Black Fist recognized the familiar stance the masked man used and quickly intercepted the fight between them. The real fight begins. BlackFist is leading in the fight even though he was fatally poisoned.



Other try to help, but was stoped by MunChi. The scholar said, that this IS in the calculation, and smiled. After 20 rounds of so, in the fight they both exchanged blows. The masked man sustained heavy damage. So does Black Fist. The mask man then eye signaled the scholar and he leap away from the hall into nowhere. MunChi steps forward and said, this is the end. The others try to surround Black Fist. Just then he sent everyone flying and quickly ran clumsily towards the back room. General HouTien signal the pursue and the army ran following Black Fist.



Black Fist ran in a room. There, his son stood and looking at him innocently. His son was just 8 yrs old. Asking his father if he is sick, Black Fist ask him to keep quiet and sit down. Then with every ounce of strength left, he transfered all his legendary chi to his son, not knowingly, together with the poison. Just before the army arrived, he hid his son in a trap door and ask him to keep quiet. Just after that he ran out of the villa into a cliff. Cornered and asked to surrender, he laughed so hard and said that the WuLin will never be at peace again. And said that they brought that upon themselves. And then he jumped off the cliff. Then MunChi looks worried. He hopes this calculated risk is controlled. He understands very well what Black Fist was talking about. But General Hou Tien says that the scholar did his best calculation and just be sure to run some preventions in the future.



What is the threat that Black Fist and MunChi is talking about? Who is that masked man? Why is the kind mute couple working under Black Fist? What will happened to Black Fist's son? Laterz!
