Chapter 10 - Tang's New Powers (rewrite)

Tang was enjoying a quiet morning outside, sipping his tea and engrossed in one of his many books, when the peace was shattered by a loud commotion.

"MISTER TANG! MEI BROKE SOMETHING!" MK shouted at the top of his lungs, dashing across the yard with Mei hot on his heels, desperately trying to catch up.

Tang sighed and set his book down, standing up just as MK skidded to a halt in front of him, out of breath. "Let me see your arm," Tang said calmly as he inspected Mei's arm, which was clearly broken.

"Yep, indeed broken. We'll have to put a cast on it," Tang remarked as he headed inside to grab some bandages.

MK, still catching his breath, looked puzzled. "Don't you have healing powers, Mister Tang?" he asked.

Tang paused, giving MK a look of confusion. "Healing powers? What am I supposed to do, wave my hands around all mystically, aim them at the wound, and-" He trailed off, suddenly holding his hands over Mei's arm almost instinctively. To his shock, a soft glow emanated from his palms, and the next moment, Mei's broken arm was healed completely.

Mei flexed her arm and grinned. "Oh, it's fixed! Thanks, Tang!"

Tang stood there, stunned. "HOW THE HECK DID I DO THAT?" he exclaimed, causing Pigsy to poke his head out of the house and walk over to the group.

"What's going on out here?" Pigsy asked, eyeing the gathering with suspicion.

MK, with a mischievous grin, turned to Pigsy. "Watch this," he said, and before anyone could react, he grabbed Mei's arm with three fingers and swiftly broke it again.

"WHAT THE HELL, MK? YOU ARE IN SO-" Pigsy started to shout, but before he could finish, Tang instinctively used his newfound healing power again, instantly mending Mei's arm.

Tang quickly bandaged Mei up while Pigsy began to scold MK for his reckless behavior. Once the situation was under control, Tang looked at Mei curiously. "So, Mei, how did you break your arm the first time?"

Mei shrugged as Tang finished wrapping her arm. "Oh, well, MK and I were at the arcade playing that arm wrestling game. Red Son had set it to its strongest level, and he went first, winning easily. MK went next and destroyed the game. Red Son offered to fix it instead of paying for the damages, and when I went last, the machine broke and so did my arm," she explained.

Tang and Pigsy exchanged a look, both trying to process the chaotic events. Finally, Pigsy sighed and shook his head. "Alright, you two, go play. And MK, no more breaking arms!"

The kids ran off, leaving Tang and Pigsy behind to contemplate the strange turn of events. Tang glanced at his hands, still bewildered by the discovery of his new power, while Pigsy rubbed his temples, wondering how long the peace would last this time.
