The Past
This takes place several years before MK is born. Focuses on Fang returning to Megapolis to deal with a problem, as well as eventually facing her father after 10 years of silence between each other.
1v1
Upon moving back to Flower Fruit Mountain, Fang finds herself right back where she started. It being just her and her father. Not that there was anything wrong with that, it was nice to have some down time after nearly breaking every bone in her body throughout the last few weeks. Her only problem now was the fact she had too much down time...
Between Yu Lai's training and MKing's family time, Fang held a desire to find some 'me time' for herself. And after having seen an ad on tv during a binge night with her dad, of some fancy new video game that had just released, she decided to give it a shot. It looked pretty cool, a strategic shoot-em up space game with some arpg elements sprinkled throughout. And while she didn't have the latest console, she saw online that there was a bundle deal going on where she could get her hands on both. And decided right then and there to go and get it.
What she hadn't expected however was the line. The thing looked like it went around a whole city block! It was a good thing she was an early riser otherwise she probably would've just given up right then an there at having to start at the very back. Instead she managed to secure a spot not too far from the front.
Red Son, being the oddity that he is, shows up, and after causing a scene with some of the fellow gamers in line, ends up using Fang as his placeholder after she recognizes him. The two are still at odds with one another, but after a little chit chat, Red notices the game she's playing on her phone and in turn offers his own advice in place of her playing style. She of course denies it, but in turn shows her player to him and the stats she boost, claiming she's had her fair share of hours in game to know what she's doing. Only for them both to find out that they apparently had ties before they'd even met irl.
As he recognizes her username, BananaGoddess96 and she recognizes his, xXFlameboi420Xx they both come to realize that they've been playing with one another online for quite sometime now.
After a little bit of awkwardness, both eventually concede to the boredom of the line, and begin a vicious 1v1 against each other to pass the time. Where both actually come to enjoy themselves as the hours go by until they finally end up near the front.
Fang manages to purchase what she came for, but upon Red prompting the cashier for his version of the game, he is LIVID to find out that they're suddenly sold out. To keep the store from being burnt to the ground, Fang offers up her copy. Claiming she can just get some older games for it later.
Red Son in all his frazzled glory exclaims as to why she keeps making him owe her favors. To which she replies in that she simply does it because it's just the normal thing to do. And after bonking his head on a pole and claiming that being enough to scatter his thoughts, he makes an excuse of a concussion before briskly taking his leave.
