On the day of the competition Tai-Law was driving with his friends. It was a rainy dark night, and he was going to be late because of traffic. He heard a very very loud explosion while he was on the free-way, it startled him so bad that he jerked his hand right and colided with another car, and was in a minor car accident, but his friends weren't buckled up, so they suffered some mild injuries. Tai-Laws car was towed away and him and his friends went to the Hospital for X-Rays. The line was very busy so it took about 1 hour to get there wounds looked at. After they were done, Tai-Law drove home alone, and his friends got seperate rides. Tai-Law looked at his watch and the competition was going to end in 36 minutes. Tai-Law hurried. Tai-Law was about 4 blocks away from the competition and there were Fire Ambulances and Police cars covering the street. Law parked his car in the middle of the street because the cars weren't moving anyway. He ran towards the direction of the Dojo, he slowly looked up to see that the Dojo had been completely blown apart and was burning. His eyes grew big and he gasped. He frowned, and ran as fast as he could to the Dojo, and ran inside through a hole. There was black smoke everywhere, and it was very hard to see inside. He heard a man screaming at the top of his lungs. Tai-Law ran in that direction. Tai-Law waved his hands to push some of the smoke away and looked down at the voice. That voice was his older brother. The other half of his face was chared badly, and his ears and cartilage had melted ; Half of his clothes where blown off and he was missing a leg.Tai-Law picked him up and started to run out of the building. He escaped in time and he laid his brother down on the street. His brother died on his way out of the building. Law stared down at his brothers corpse, all that was on it was half of his Fighting Uniform his Red Bandana, and his Shindo Shinsei Dojo Master Sword in its sheith. Tai Law, pulled off the bandana and took the sword in its sheith from his body, and put them on.
"I will forever wear my brothers colours, and fight with his sword," said Tai-Law.
Tai-law stood up and ran up to a firefighter.
"Sir!! What happened here? My brother is dead and I can't find my family? Who did this?" Tai-Law cried.
The man said ", One of the competitors was a Mutant, who cheated and caused the place to explode. I think he goes by the name Sage, and is very dangerous."
Tai-Law cried, and would forever mourn the death of his entire family. Tai-Law ran away as fast as he could so that he wouldn't have to be taken to a foster-home, etc. He ran quite a far distance, far enough to walk by the Gouken Dojo, that was 9 and 1/2 miles away. As he walked by it, a kid around his age glared at his sword and bandana, and remembered that he knew another fighter with the same colors and sword.
"Hey!" Said the kid.
Law turned around and stared at the kid. The kid was wearing a black fighting uniform and had dark spikey hair. They talked for a very long time, Tai-Law was very happy that he knew someone who knew his brother. During there conversation Tai-Law told the kid what had happened. The kid asked him if he wanted to live with him and join his Dojo, temporarily . Tai-Law's reply was yes, but in order to join he had to fight the kid one on one. The kid was very talented at fighting, the kid and Tai-Law were about equal in strength and had about the same fighting skill. The fight lasted one round and they stopped, the kid new Tai-Law was worthy of joining.
The kid held his hand out (for a shake) and said ", I am Nashitoro welcome to the Dainotzu Dojo."
Tai-Law and Nashitoro had many things in common and fought side by side for the next 2 years. What Tai-Law thought would be a temporary home became his permaninent. Tai-Law and Nashitoro trained very hard to protect the rest of the streets from the Mutants. Tai-Law swore that he wont stop fighting until he put an end to the mutants.
