Chapter 5:Logan VS Cobran

As Logan walked out on the pathway leading to the fighting area, he was greeted with a massive round of applause and cheer from everyone in the arena. He walked up onto the fighting area and stood by the announcer's side, with Cobran on the other.

Announcer: "This is it Ladies and Gentlemen, the final round! Both these 2 fighters have shown they are equally powerful for kids of their age, demonstrating tremendous technique, speed and strength! But only one of them will go home as the champion! The question remains though, who will be that champion?!" he asked as the crowd erupted in cheers. "Both fighters get into positions! It's time to begin the final match!" he ordered as he walked off stage, with the two kids doing just that, walking to their side of the ring, but they stood close so they could talk to each other.

Logan: "Well here we are, the final round, just like we agreed!"

Cobran: "Indeed, I must say I've been very surprised at the power you've demonstrated today!"

Logan: "Likewise, but we know only one of us can win!"

Cobran: "And that winner will be me! I do hope you put up a better fight than your little brother, he was pathetic!"

Logan: "Just for that I'm gonna knock one of your teeth out!" he said as he took his stance.

Cobran: "I'd like to see that happen" he said as he also took his stance.

Announcer: "Both fighters, give it everything you've got! Let the final round commence in 3…2…1…FIGHT!" and the second that last word left his mouth both fighters launched at each other yelling at the top of their voices, getting louder as the two drew closer to one another.

Both hybrids punched each other across the face with their right fist, before both jumped back off each other and stared down. Logan then charged up a small bit of energy in his right hand and fired a small blast of energy at Cobran, but he smacked it out of the way with his left hand, making it hit the ground and explode in smoke. Aindrea then charged up some energy as well and fired several shots at the Mangham, who was dodging every blast that came his way by backfilling over them across the fighting area, before he finally right roundhouse kicked the last one back at Cobran, but he left punched it into nothing. Because of that, the blast had been turned into smoke, clouding his vision, giving him no time to react when Logan came flying and dealt him a left front kick right in the face before back flipping off him.

Aindrea let out a small growl before he dashed at his fellow hybrid and right punched him in the stomach. While hurt from the attack, the Mangham ignored it and put both hands together above his head, then smacked them down on Cobrans back, causing him to fall back a bit. The two then dashed at each other full speed and went to punch the other, this time with their left hand, but they each missed their target, both fighter's fists and arms skimming the other as they passed by one another. Both turned to one another as they skimmed past one another with their punch, the whole world felt like it was going in slow motion for them as they remained there for a moment, staring each other down, until Cobran brought his right leg up and around to land a roundhouse kick to his fellow hybrids head, but Logan blocked it with both hands and went to punch Aindrea with his right hand, with him dodging it, grabbing the Mangham's head with his legs, and front-flipping Logan over him.

Right as he was about to hit the ground, the Mangham charged an energy blast in each of his hand and blasted them into the floor, propelling him out of Aindrea's grip and into the air, allowing for him to perform a few side flips right before he landed on the floor at the same time Cobran jumped to his feet. The two stayed there staring each other down, keeping their guards up in case the other attacked.

The whole crowd amazed and going crazy over the power these 2 young ones were demonstrating.

Abigail: "In-Incredible!"

Gracie:" I know, what kind of training do these guys do?"

The two started yelling at the top of their voices as they dashed at each other, ready with another attack for the other. Once they reached each other in the middle of the ring, Logan went to land a sliding sidekick off his left leg, but was countered by Cobrans jumping reverse punch from his right hand. The two kids tried pushing the others attack back with all the energy they could muster, until finally they launched off each other, firing multiple blasts at each other off each hand, all of which countered each other, right before both hybrids landed on the ground away from each and stared down once again. All was silent for a few moments until Aindrea broke that silence with a small chuckle.

Cobran: "I'll say this Logan, I'm having a lot of fun. This is the best fight I've ever had! The best fight we've ever had"

Logan:"Yeah, I know what you mean. We've both come a long way in 5 years! You're not so bad yourself!"

Cobran: "Well then get a load of this!" he yelled before he put both hands together a bit like he was going to pray.

The Mangham was confused as to what he was doing, but gained a slight understanding of what was happening after he saw something shiny coming from Aindrea's hands. Then after a few seconds, Cobrans hands became surrounded by black fire and he clenched his fists. After staring down for a few seconds, Aindrea launched at the Mangham with incredible speed and punched him right in the stomach with his right hand so hard, Logan coughed a bit of blood from how hurt he was.

Aindrea then punched him across the face with a left hook, then again with a right hook, then again with the left, and one more time with the right, before he started doing it at such speeds it was hard to see for most people, until finally he finished and dealt a right uppercut right under the Mangham's chin, sending him up into the air for a few moments before he touched down a few meters away and went skidding across the ground out of breathe. Cobran then punched his fists together and the fire disappeared.

Cobran:"HAHA! How do you like that one Mangham?!" he questioned in a cocky manner.

The Mangham was still for a few moments, leading most to believe he was knocked out, though he quickly proved them wrong when everyone in the arena saw him slowly get up off the ground and crack his neck, before turning to Aindrea and stood tall as if he felt nothing.

Logan:"Eh it was alright Aindrea, it was alright" he simply responded.

Cobran: "WHAT?!"

Logan: "Let's see what you think of this!" the hybrid asked as he knelt down and got into a position that looked like he was about to start running.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he dashed at Cobran so fast he barely saw it, and dealt him a right elbow to the face that was so strong, that in slow motion you could have seen one of his teeth go flying. The Mangham punched him across the face with his left arm, kneed him in the stomach with his right leg, elbowed him right in the nose with his left arm, back fisted him with the same arm, roundhouse kicked him with his right leg and followed up with a sidekick, a hook kick, front kick him off the same leg.

He then brought his right foot back behind him before attacking with a crescent kick, jump spinning crescent kick off his right leg once, before finally finishing his attack with an axe kick right on Aindrea's head with his left leg, forcing him straight to the floor. Logan then jumped back a bit away from him and watched as Cobran slowly stood up and cracked his jaw.

Logan: "So, how do you like that?"

Cobran: "Ergh not bad Logan not bad"

The Mangham chuckled right before the two dashed at each other and stopped so they were merely centimeters away, looking at each other eye to eye up close. Cobran punched his fellow hybrid across the face with his right hand, with Logan punching him right back with the same move. The hybrids then went into a skirmish of punches right on the spot, with them blocking, dodging and countering the others punches many times over at incredible speeds, only ever occasionally landing a hit on one another.

The skirmish went on for a while until the two charged up a bit of energy in each of their right fists, then unleash a mighty yell each at the top of their voices, right as they punched each other across the face at the same time, setting of a huge shockwave explosion that was followed by a cloud of smoke. After a few seconds, the two came skidding out each side of the smoke, both equally as hurt as the other. Logan wiped away the small bit of blood coming from his nose, at the same time Cobran spit out a little blood in his mouth and wiped away what was left before the two stared down once again.

Back in the waiting room, and pretty much everywhere else in the crowd, everyone was on the edge of their seat, desperate to see where the fight was to go next.

Vincent: "Where does he hide that kind of power?! It's insane!"

Stan:" I know but I get the feeling my brothers not even shown off what he's truly capable of"

Vincent: "What about Cobran then?"

Stan:" I think it's the same for him, both of them look like they're hiding their final trump card"

Vincent:"And I get the feeling we're about to see them!"

Gracie: "Sweet mother of Mobius! These 2 are something else!"

Abigail:"I know what you mean, I've never seen anyone fight like that, not even any of the older warriors from the city!"

Gracie:"How long do you think this fight is going to go on?"

Abigail: "Actually Gracie, I get the feeling things are about to end"

Both warriors kept their guards up as they still stared one another down, awaiting each other's next move.

Cobran: "This has been an incredible fight Logan, one I do not think will be topped for years to come, but in the end there can only one winner, and I plan on being that one"

Logan: "This has been good I agree, I'll remember this match for years, because we were both really pushed to our limits, but I won't let you win. Let's finish this!"

Cobran: "Gladly!"

It was as if the 2 knew what the other was thinking, as they both started charging their final and most powerful attacks.

Aindrea put both hands together like he did earlier, but this time when he separated them, a blackish purplish energy ball began growing inside the space between his hands, and as he continued to separate his hands further, the energy attack kept growing to the size of his chest.

Cobran: "DARK DEATH BALL…" was what his attack was called, and it was what he chanted as it kept charging.

Logan took a horse-riding stance while he moved both his hands to his side and slightly behind him and cupped them in a certain way. As he began channeling his energy, a bright blue ball of that energy started to grow in his hands, and kept getting bigger until it out grew the space in between his hands and was big as his chest.

Logan:"KAAA…MEEE…HAAA…MEEE…" is what the move Goku had taught him which he started to chant.

Both stayed there charging their attacks for a while, using up every last bit of energy they had for this final move. Right as both attacks reached their maximum power, an aura of the energy they were charging appeared around each fighter, with a light blue aura surrounding the Mangham, and a blackish purplish aura surrounding Aindrea. Both hybrids knew that they were each at the limit they could go to, and so both unleashed their attacks against one another.

Cobran: "FIRE!" he yelled as he pushed both hands forward, firing the attack off across the fighting area and was headed straight for Logan.

LOGAN:"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he roared as he threw his hands forward in front of him, and the light blue ball of energy he'd been charging exploding into a wave that was now flying across the fighting area towards Cobran.

Both attacks hit each other in the middle of the fighting area, causing a massive shockwave of power to be sent out from the impact, as the two attacks tried with all their might to push the other back. Each warriors attack was so strong, that because they were constantly pushing against each other, shockwaves of leftover energy from both attacks combined and were constantly being pushed out into the area, and were so strong they nearly threw people off their seats in the entire arena, and caused some parts of the stadium to begin to crack and break.

Gracie: "This is insane!"

Abigail: "What power!"

Vincent: "What are those guys?!"

Stan: "Incredible..."

The attacks pushed against each other for what felt like forever for the young warriors, as they put everything they had into those attacks in order to win. Eventually, the 2 managed to sum up a little bit more energy and add it into their attacks to finish the fight, until finally there was a massive explosion of white light caused form the full power of both energy attacks colliding and fusing together, and the light engulfed the whole stadium and lasted for about 20 seconds.

Once the smoke cleared, the stadium was mostly untouched, except for the fighting area, which had cracks all across the ground and walls, and broken pieces of the walls and other structures in the fighting area now lying on the floor and had been turned to rubble. The two warriors both stood bloody, wounded and gasping for air from how tired they were. It was the deciding moment. One of them was going to go down and the other would win, but who would it be? The two stared down for a few seconds, waiting for one of them to drop and pass out, until finally…Logan fell onto his left knee gasping for air, only just managing to keep himself up with his right hand and remain conscious. Cobran began laughing at his opponent's misfortune, and his own certainty to win.

Cobran:"HAHA I knew I was better! Now do yourself a favor and pass out right now so I can claim this victory as my-erck!" and just like that, right before he could finish his sentence and his gloating, the pain he'd sustained in the fight caught up with Cobran, as he closed his eyes and fell on his back unconscious.

Logan: "You talk…too much…"

Announcer:"….And we have a Winner!" he yelled, and the crowd erupted in applause and cheering. "The winner of this year's younger division tournament is…LOOOOGAN MAAANGHAAAAM!" and with that, the Mangham, who was still exhausted, fell on both knees, bowed his head and raised his fists to the sky in celebration of his victory, as the crowd exploded into more cheers and applause.

Just then, he heard a moan of pain coming from right next to him, and saw that Aindrea he was coming to.

Cobran slowly opened his eyes and was greeted with the sight of Logan standing over him and looking down in him with a smile.

Logan:"Hey man you alright? That was a hell of a match and you did your best! For that I thank you, I couldn't ask for anything better for a final in the tournament! We really gave everyone a show like we promised huh?" he explained before he offered his hand out to Cobran "Need a hand? Come on, let's get you up and get some grub to celebrate" but despite the Mangham's kindness, all he managed to do was anger Aindrea, who in response to his kind words just smacked his fellow hybrids hand out the way.

Cobran:"I don't need your help you lower-class pest! That match meant nothing! I'm still better than you!"

Logan: "Calm down. Look I'm sorry that you think that because you're a higher class than somebody, that you're instantly better than them. That's not how the world works. Now you want help up or not? And more importantly do you wanna go get some food or not?"

Cobran: "Never!" he jumped up by himself "You have embarrassed me in front of everyone here, but more importantly in front of my father! This was the one time I could prove to my father I'm a better warrior than he thinks I am, and you ruined it! I don't need your help, I don't need your words of kindness…" he pushed past Logan as he walked off "And I don't need your sympathy!" he explained in such a cold voice before he walked off the fighting area and into the fighter waiting room.

Logan:" (sigh) I wish you didn't see it that way" he said to himself before he too jumped down off the fighting area, but instead was floored with hugs from his friends.

Vincent: "Dude that was awesome you kicked his butt!"

Stan:" I knew you'd win big bro! You're the best!"

Gracie: "How the hell did you do all that stuff with that weird light? That was incredible!"

Abigail: "Logan that was amazing, you were amazing!"

Logan:"Yea heh…thanks guys…"

Vincent: "Something wrong man?"

Logan: "Nothing it's just…I feel a little bad for Cobran…"

Vincent: "Whys that? Actually I'll ask you in a minute, I think your parent want to congratulate you"

And he was right, as Logan was ambushed once again with hugs, this time from both his mum and dad.

Logan's Mum: "OH my son you were brilliant!"

Logan's Dad: "I'm so proud of you son, you're an amazing warrior!"

Logan: "Thanks Mom, Thanks Dad" he separated from them and they went to go talk to the other parents, but not before his dad ruffled Logan's hair a little, which made him laugh before he re-joined his friends.

Vincent: "So you were saying about feeling bad for Cobran?"

Logan:"Yeah…it's just…you should have seen the way he reacted when I tried to help him up. He was enraged and embarrassed so much by losing, and apparently this was the only way he could prove to his dad he was a better warrior than he believes he is"

Gracie:"Damn, that's bad"

Logan:"Now you understand how I feel…"

Abigail: "I'm sure he'll come around…just give him time" she explained as she patted his shoulder.

Logan:" I guess…wait…where's Stan?" he asked, with the others and himself taking a look around to find him, but he was nowhere in sight.
