Watchdog stood still inspecting the metal child in front of him. He sniffed the air and shook his head sadly. Kid Emperor looked all over Watchdog Man trying to see his chances of winning. The tension in the air was so thick Pig God tried to chew on it. He failed and kept watching. Then Watchdog man charged him and Kid Emperor dodged a kick. He sidestepped and punched Watchdog Man in his leg. Watchdog Man seemed unfazed as he kicked Kid Emperor in his armour. The 2 moved on each other like a whirlwind of punches.
"This is pretty good!" Super Alloy Darkshine screamed by me. I shrugged and kept watching and thought about my friend. He had left the day I killed one of his kind. This made me think of my mom and dad and I got even sadder. I never even thought about them and had tried to throw them out of my life. I was snapped back to reality by Kid Emperor blocking Watchdog Man's headbutt. Kid Emperor jumped over him and shot at the air. Tiny robotic bugs fell down and crawled at Watchdog Man.
"Dogs attack!" Kid Emperor said. Watchdog Man swatted at one crushing it. It exploded making a cloud of smoke that no one could see through. Kid Emperor could though as he charged through it and I could hear Watchdog Man roar. The smoke cleared and I saw more bugs on Watchdog Man. He stepped on another and it exploded sending him flying back. Kid Emperor darted at him and hit him in the chin. He wiped blood off of it and looked at it.
"Good." he said. He counterattacked Kid Emperor running into him and grabbing him. He threw him onto the ground and rolled onto him. As he rolled he headbutted him. I'd never seen this type of fighting and it seemed most everyone else hadn't either. Kid Emperor kicked him off and then kicked him again in the face. Watchdog Man shook his head quickly dropping some blood. He then finished off the last of the drones unleashing another 2 explosions. In the distraction Kid Emperor snuck up behind him and put him in a headlock. Watchdog Man dropped to the floor and jumped on his back hitting Kid Emperor cracking his armor. Kid Emperor in the process lost his club and clicked another button. His armour disappeared and he shot up into the air. Watchdog Man jumped up at him but Kid Emperor swatted him away. Kid Emperor reached into a belt and pulled out tiny pellets. He chucked them at Watchdog Man setting off a series of explosions. Watchdog Man sat on the ground unmoving. He flew down next to Watchdog Man. Then Watchdog Man rolled over and hit him in the stomach as hard as he could. He grabbed Kid Emperor and threw him off the arena in a dirty move. Then he got up and started licking himself. Bang in an instant was at his side. He nodded at the crowd saying who had won the match.
The next match was Metal Bat vs Tatsumaki. Metal Bat knew and so did we who would leave standing and who would be sent to get their wounds healed. Someone must have forgot to tell Metal Bat that though. As the match started Metal Bat charged Tatsumaki. He lifted his bat but as he did a rock slammed into his chest. His eyes bugged out like an anime characters as he grabbed his chest. He breathed heavy but got back into the fight. He ran at Tatsumaki keeping his guard up but was stopped by a rocky wall. He smashed it to bits but where he looked no one was there. He spun around to see a series of boulders in the air. They came crashing down onto him as Tatsumaki yawned bored. Metal Bat's face became red as he jumped up and smashed a rock. He spun around and shattered another. One hit him in the back and a crack was heard.
"Damnit! I'm suppose to make dinner tonight and I can't if I'm all bruised up!" he said angered by the inconvenience. After he finished off the chunks hovering in the air he turned towards Tatsumaki.
"Can we hurry this up?" she asked. Metal Bat roared in outrage as he jumped up and brought his bat down on the air. The air boomed as Tatsumaki raised an eyebrow. As I looked around I saw no one else was interested in seeing Metal Bat's ass handed to him. Behind me Saitama walked by with Genos.
"Hey Kenshi want some cabbage?" he asked. I shrugged and he gave me a head. Genos' eyes were fixed on the arena however as Metal Bat fell to the ground. He groaned in pain but brushed rocks off himself. Tatsumaki was annoyed by now.
"I'm done. I win!" she said as Metal Bat was levitated out of the arena. Blast walked up and nodded with no surprise in his face. Metal Bat got up and walked off to go somewhere. Then Blast got on his microphone.
"Tatsumaki wins no surprise yada yada… Next match Silver Fang vs Super Alloy Darkshine!" he said. Bang walked past me and I wished him luck. He winked at me and got onto the arena.
The two started stretching though Super mainly flexed and flashed smiles at the crowd. Blast had said he was going to have civilians watch but went against it for their safety. He'd settled on Metal Knight's 7 cameras surrounding the arena. Bang finished stretching and eyed Super Alloy Darkshine. He replied with a wink and Bang scowled. Then the 2 fought each other. Super and Bang charged at each other with lightning quick speed although Bang seemed to be going ever so faster. Inches apart from each other Bang sliced at Super. Super ducked and kicked Bang it the stomach. Bang groaned as he counterattacked by uppercutting Super.
"You sure have grown Darkshine," Bang noted.
"Aw yea I did!" Super replied kneeling Bang. Bang hit Super in the chest then kicked him in the legs bringing him to the ground. Super kicked at Bang but Bang dashed to the right dodging it the landed on top of Super Alloy bringing his fist down on his face. Super Alloy rolled over pinning down Bang and started to assault him with punches. Bang was dodging most of them and blocking the rest. Bang lifted his hand ready to punch Super but then Super punched his fist. The sound was like a grenade and my ears were ringing for a few short seconds. Bang kicked Super Alloy Darkshine off of him and grabbed him by the shoulder and flipped him over his back. He then fell to the ground and did an armbar then throat chopped Super. He coughed and flexed his arm and swung Bang off of it. Bang was on his back for a fraction of a second the hopped up ready to swing back into action. He ran at Super and hit him from every angle his back, legs, arms, chest, and especially the head, then as Super raised his hands to block it Bang kicked him in the stomach.
"Ah!" Super said hitting Bang on the head. Bang rubbed his head as a bump formed and then Super hit him in the chest sending him into the air and back to the ground. Bang got back up trying to stay strong as he ran around Super to his confusion. Then he charged at Super full force hitting him in the face. Super's nose became purple as he held it in pain. He brought his arm back then swung it at Bang's face sending him back a few feet. Bang ran back up and hit Super from the left side to the right. Super counterattacked and uppercutted Bang. The two were exhausted and nearly evenly matched.
"I will… beat you old fellow!" Super Alloy Darkshine said as blood dripped on his cheek. Bang just chuckled to Supers annoyance. Super charged at him and swung his leg at his shoulder. Bang caught his leg to Super's surprise. Bang smiled wickedly then brought his hand down on Super's leg. Super screamed as you heard his bone crack. Super then tackled Bang and hit him in the face left hand to right hand. Bang elbowed him in the chest and then chopped at his stomach and pushed him off. Super crouched low to the ground and started moving sluggishly. His leg had also become bruised and red. Still the 2 held up as Bang leaped into the air. Super Alloy Darkshine looked up as Bang fell back to the earth and elbowed Super in the face. Super Alloy Darkshine fell to the ground in pain as Bang lifted his leg and brought it down on Super's chest. I actually smiled at Bang as I'd never seen him fight this merciless. Which meant he'd always gone easy on me! I mumbled a curse and kept watching the fight. As Super laid breathing through pained breaths Bang picked him up over his shoulder. Super lightly punched him on the back but Bang just hit him in the chest. He then threw him out of the arena winning the match. Soon paramedics had escorted him out.
Later on Blast arrived on the scene. He was now in full costume. He had a purple cape, black arms, purple gloves, a black torso, and then a line of dark blue in the shape of fire down his chest.
"Next match is battle of the brutes! Tanktop Master vs Puri Puri prisoner," he announced. Tanktop Master and Puri Puri Prisoner climbed onto the stage and looked at each other. Behind me Genos told Saitama it'd be a close match. Tatsumaki then shushed him and told Saitama eggs don't talk.
"Didn't it say 18 or older to enter the tournament?" Saitama said which would've been a good comeback if Kid Emperor wasn't here a half hour ago. Tatsumaki just walked away. Bang then sat down next to me.
"You fought hard oldy," I said.
"I expect you to fight harder." I nodded as the fight began to start.
Tanktop Master charged at Prisoner and hit him in the chest. Prisoner fell down onto his knees. Then closed his eyes. He jumped into the air and his clothes ripped and... He landed on the ground and Tanktop Master paid no attention somehow and the put his hands together and brought them down on Puri Puri Prisoner. I felt the ground shake as he collided with his head and Puri Puri Prisoner fell back to the ground.
"Mmm aren't you strong pretty?" Puri Puri Prisoner asked winking. Tanktop Master was caught off guard by this as Puri Puri Prisoner kicked him in the chest. Tanktop Master grabbed his chest and roared. He ran at Puri Puri Prisoner and hit him on the left side of his head. Then he kicked him in the right and to end it jumped up and rammed his head with his. Puri Puri Prisoner walked unbalanced as he fell onto Tanktop Master. He hugged Tanktop Master and squeezed as hard as he could. Tanktop Master clenched his teeth as Pui Puri Prisoner started to crush him. Tanktop Master swiftly pulled his hands apart and jumped up and elbowed Puri Puri Prisoner to the ground. The ground under him cracked a little and Metal Knight made a metallic sigh a few feet away. Puri Puri Prisoner pulled out a chunk from under him and slapped it at Tanktop Master. Tanktop Master grabbed it and crumbled it between his hands. He then quickly got to his knees sending one into Puri's chest and the other in his stomach. Tanktop Master hit him in the nose breaking it. He hit him again and again each blow sending out a scream. Then Tanktop Master got up and lifted up Puri Puri Prisoner. He threw him into the air and jumped up. When the two met Tanktop Master kicked at Puri but Puri barely grabbed his leg in time and threw him onto the arena. He fell to the ground landing on Tanktop Master's neck and jamming his knee into it.
"Almost… had me…" Puri said blood dripping from his nose and both his eyes black. Tanktop Master grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up. He pulled his fist back and sent it into his chest.
"AH!" Tanktop Master then walked to the edge of the arena all while Puri lightly squirmed exhausted and broken. Then Tanktop threw him into the ground winning the match. Then Blast ran up and declared the winner. The next match was tomorrow with Pig God vs Pig God. Later Bang bought me and Saitama dinner and Blast sat down by us in a tuxedo.
"Kenshi. I understand my pet has taken a liking to you," he said. I was caught off guard but kept my cool. I nodded.
"I saw you kill it's sister so I sent it away from you," he said. A tear crept down my eyes.
"I'm sorry… I thought…"
"It's fine. Also I need to tell you where the sword came from. The sword comes from the creature's bones. The creature was attracted to you so it coughed up a bone by your door. I also sent it after the amulet but that's aside from the point," he said.
"Why are you never helping?"
"Saitama. Now I must go. See you tomorrow." he said and left. Later we all went our separate ways but at the last second I asked Saitama for a bed.
"Ok." I thanked him and he shrugged. Genos kept looking at me suspiciously though. I was out in a second and dreamt of the next day. I couldn't wait to battle it out. Who would it be? Metal Knight? Flashy Flash? Saitama? Genos? I would learn soon.
