Yaguchi's hands trembled a little bit with excitement when he poured himself a Coke. Mystery Girl walked up to him and took the man's arm and helped hold him. „Thank you." Thanked yaguchi and put down the bottle. She just looked at him with a smile, as if to say it was natural. „Do you want something too?" She just waved to do it herself. While mystery girl was busy, Yaguchi's speech. „I just remembered an old memory. Back when I went to the Super Street Fighter 2 EX championship with the girl that I love in 1996. I decided if I won against her, I would confess my feelings to her. Back then, I was a tree-headed jerk who didn't notice how much they loved me. But at the time, I was more mature, and I didn't want to be stuck in one place from the inside. In the finals, we fought each other. She choose Zangief, I choose Guile." She looked him. He thought she asked: What happened at the end? „ In a very close fight, she defeated me. Which was understandable given the fact that the best Zangief user in all of Japan. Later, when she left to travel Los Angeles, because of his parents, I confessed everything to her. I promised one thing: I'm follew her some days later and we'd get married." Msytery Girl put down the glass and with her hand made a heart, like she was asking: You still love her? „ With all of my heart. I can't stop thinking about her. I'm also here to get half a million to start everything..." Then she hugged Yaguchi completely. He's blushed. her hands on his back, her scent, her touch. It's like Oono's behind the mask. He returned the hug, which only lasted 30 seconds, but to Yaguchi, it seemed like an eternity. after they finished, the woman put her hand on his shoulder and nodded. Her message was clear: Your heart is in the right place and that's the most important thing right now. Then mystery girl bowed and left to the stage.

After the break it was now visible that only one machine was on the stage and the game was also visible on the projector. Daniel turned on the microphone again and the background roar silenced. Almost everyone who was eliminated was there. They wanted to see the end of the tournament. „Ladies and gentlemen! Let the top 8 begin, where the professionals will show all their skills! Are you ready for this?" Daniel asked loud, and the crowd began to cheer. The eight players waited backstage for the call. Daniel shouted that Yaguchi would play the first match against Triple. The guy called Triple has smile as if he didn't want to stop. He enjoyed the tournament so much. When the two members shook hands, the fight between them has began. Paul vs Law. The first match win is Yaguchi with a succceful Incomplete Assault. Triple laugh. „You're full of surprises. Normal man wouldn't have expected anyone to bring this out." Yaguchi laughed too. „My nickname is Beast Fingers in the arcade for a reason." Reply Yaguchi. The second game was won by triple when Law successfully brought in Machine gun arrow technique, after a good combo. The third game was almost in triple's pocket, but yaguchi was on his guard. When Paul was grabbed by Law, he immediately struck the countergrab, which essentially turned the grab on Law. Everyone applauded him, even Triple. After a handshake, they went back to the backstage. This match is not like to a tournament fight, much more like two friends fighting. The second fight was not so friendly between Hidaka and Raptor. Hidaka made a great profit on all knowledge and skills with Jin Kazama, so he took the first game win. Raptor got angry and went on a tougher style. Yaguchi remembered that when he fought against him, Raptor didn't show half his skill. In the second game, he unleashed all his skills. He was always aggressive in fight, disable all options to give damage, and immediately punished any mistake. Thanks to this, Raptor won the second game with a successfully Fisherman Slam. The third game was a living hell to Hidaka. She tries to be calm, but unfortunately, it won't work. Raptor muttering all the time. At the first round victory, Bryan Teabagging near jin's head, making Hidaka very angry, and so did Yaguchi. Never seen a professional behave so disgustingly. But this tactic pay of, when Bryan win Round 2. Raptor wins, who put down the contoroller with a cheeky grin, like he won the marathon. He turned to hidaka to mocking her. „I just humiliated you. The audience can see what a loser you are. You'll never be like me, smart-ass." Said raptor as if he were a King. the crowd blew and whistled. Hidaka did not leave him unanswered. „You're correct. I'll never be like you in my life. „ She whispered softly, but clearly, while a tear in his eye ran out in anger. „You know why? I have backbone and integrity. You may have beaten me because you're better skills than I am, but Yaguchi, who will be your opponent in the semifinals, will tear you apart. He's much better player and more respectful than you and that makes a proffesional fighter." Raptor's face quickly turned to rage. His voice now sounded very harsh, as if he were about to strike at any time. „ He is a loser bitch, just like you! I can beat anyone here! Understand?!" Then someone pushed Yaguchi from the side. It was msytery girl who took a hard step towards Raptor and slapped him with a big, powerful punch that made him fall backwards. Daniel speaks to the michrophone. „ Raptor! I warned you to stop acting like that! That's the last straw! You're banned from the tournament! The semi-finals winner is..." „NO!" Shout Hidaka. „ He can't learn anything by shutting him out. I want Yaguchi to beat him good, because then he might get his head out of his ass." Hidaka went to the backstage after that and hugged Yaguchi. In the meantime, Raptor stood up, and on his left face was a large palm print from the hand of Mystery Girl. Even the fingerprints on it. „ So shall it be." Said Daniel to Raptor. „Now you're off the hook and you can keep going. But now I'm telling you one thing: you're lucky, because I'm a gentleman. If not that case, I might smack you in your ugly face, just like Mystery Girl did it." He just nodded angrily and went off the stage. Normally, assholes like him would be easily beaten up by the crowd, but now no one's even looked at his feet.

There was a five-minute pause because something went wrong with the projector. Until then, Yaguchi comforted Hidaka. Nystery Girl went there and put her hand on her shoulder. „ Thank you for your support. Whoever you are behind that mask, I feel like we already know each other. That's what helps me calm down." The masked girl just shrugged her shoulders like she was saying: „Maybe, maybe not. But, I'm glad I could help." „ Yaguchi. I'm asking you to take out Raptor in the semi-finals.so. Maybe after that, he never acts like this again." asked with her friend. Mystery Girl looked his eye. Yaguchi just nodded. He didn't need any more words. At the end of the technical break, Mystery Girl and Chikuron were ready to fight. Daniel remembers playing against him last week. Apparently, he was one of the meanest Yoshimitsu players in this game, who's like an annoying fly, and his opponent was the lion. Constantly teleported, dodged and slapped when his opponent made the slightest mistake and it had already cut a quarter of life point with a long combo. Gun Jack was having a hard time picking up the pace, and that showed up. chikuron won the first game easily. Yaguchi looked Mystery Girl. She's body language did not express frustration or anger. She was as cold-blooded as the first time he saw him. She tried to overcome the situation, but in the second game, all she could do was win a round. That's when a turn happened that no one saw in a single video game tournament. When Chikuron near at the victory, he just simply press Start+Select, which takes the game back at the Main Menu. „ I give up." Said he with a mysterius smile in his face and left to stage. „Since Chikuron gave up, Mystery Girl won! Yaguchi, just like everybody else didn't want to believe his eyes. What the hell is going on? No one gives up at the gates of victory. Is that supposed to be an act? No one had time to think about it because the final semi-final match was about to begin. Kneeler, who choose Hworang aginst Rex Fury, who choose Mokujin. This is where all the character knowledge for Mokujin appeared in Rex. He won both games without round losing and only received minimal damage. It's a rare thing to beat someone with Mokujin. Meanwhile, Raptor approached Yaguchi and poked him in the shoulder. „ Is it true what that blonde bitch said? You're gonna beat me? Don't make me laugh. I admit that you are a good Paul Phoenix user, but compared to me... you're nothing." „Just wait and see!" He hissed softly between his teeth. „By the way: If you dare to insult her once more, I will break your hands by also regretting that you have ever caught a controller. I hope this is clear to you

Raptor only walked away looking bad at Yagucgu. When the last Top 8 match was over, Daniel spoke. „Ladies and Gentlemen! And now for the first game of the semifinals. Yaguchi will fight Raptor! All participants, please come to the stage!"
