"Fucking Bastard just die!" Kuwabara yelled as he swung at Toguro. In an instant the impish freak fell into several different pieces as energy poured from Kuwabara's hand. Long slimy tendrils of flesh oozed out of the dissected parts of Toguro; within moments they reconnected themselves and he began standing.
He was taunting Kuwabara again, this time fingers grew slowly out of his hair, while his ear pulled away from his face, twisting a few times to make a point. With a gesture his fingers shot out again, this time pinning an exhausted Kuwabara to the ground. The ten count began as the echoing drone of the crowd filled my ears.
However Toguro didn't wait for the count to end as his arm melted into a long blade, he closed in for the kill. At the same time the empty hilt Toguro had tossed aside earlier shimmered with energy and began moving of its own volition towards Kuwabara. It spun in the air, dicing Toguro in a matter of seconds. Again Toguro's body began regenerating itself, each lost chunk of fleash pulling itself towards another. But before he could finish his repairs Kuwabara transformed the energy pulsing from the hilt. Now it resembled a novelty flyswatter or tennis racket. With only a moment of hesitation he slapped the mass of energy down on Toguro. A moment later he lifted the racket revealing nothing but pulp and blood.
"Kuwabara is the winner! Bringing the scores to 2-2!" The judge called. The teams below began shifting, preparing for the final round. The Young Toguro brother, and Yusuke. Toguro's towering form stepped into the ring at the behest of the judge, his commando haircut and pitch black sunglasses made him ooze cool across the stadium. Yusuke on the other hand waltzed out in his sweats, hair dancing in the wind. Even as the two walked in, the ground of the arena began cracking.
The Elder Toguro burst out of the ground, cackling madly.
"Now little brother! Use me as a weapon and let's finish this runt off!"
"Move." The younger sibling said as he walked up to his brother.
"What?"
"You're in the way." With a casual flick of his foot, the younger punted the elder high into the air. Yet the elder returned screaming at the top of his lungs, ready to strike. This ended badly, as the younger obliterated the elder with a single punch. Then returned to Yusuke.
The air hung heavy as Toguro tossed his thick trench coat aside, revealing his heavily muscled form.
"Final Match, Toguro versus Urameshi! Begin!" The judge called. Almost immediately Toguro's muscles began bulging, then growing larger, until he was at least twice his original size. The energy radiating from him began to dissolve the audience members that were closer to the ring. I felt it approaching, and turned to check the others. Nobody else seemed to be having problems enduring it, so I relaxed for now.
With not a crease in his face Yusuke charged Toguro head on, in a blink they exchanged blows and Yusuke had pulled back a bit. They began dancing around each other, Toguro was immeasurably quick especially for how large he was, but Yusuke was much faster, always landing just out of reach. Then all at once Yusuke stopped, ready to take a hit. Toguro also stopped, and I spotted someone in the crowd behind Yusuke that I recognized, Keiko.
The two fighters shifted positions, and Yusuke clasped his hands together. Energy was building in his hand, but that turned out to be a distraction as he kicked off the ground and closed distance. His hands were a blur as he delivered several punches to Toguro's abdomen. Finally Toguro retaliated with a kick, and Yusuke slid out of the way; and just barely jumped out of the way of a follow-up punch. The blow shattered the arena, chunks of rock flew everywhere, and I saw Yusuke take aim as he fell.
There was a burst of energy as his blast hit Toguro clean in his abdomen, consumed him, then continued onward to blow open a new hole in the already ruined arena walls, and then kept going until it was out of sight.
As the dust settled, the arena was just a hole in the ground, nothing more than a few chunks of stone left. Then, from the new hole in the arena entered Toguro, sunglasses obliterated, and pants badly torn. Otherwise he barely had some dust on him.
At first Yusuke was only shocked, then he began grinning. He tugged at the sweatbands he was wearing, revealing glowing yellow energy shaped like shackles around his wrists and ankles. With a word they vanished and his aura exploded outward. In an instant Yusuke vanished, I blinked, looking for him. Then he appeared, slamming Toguro with a volley of punches, all we could see was the bruises forming before Toguro was sent flying backwards. However Yusuke chased right after him, keeping up the constant barrage of punishing blows, to the point where he began pummeling Toguro into the dirt and forming a crater under the two of them.
As quickly as the brutality began it ended, Yusuke bounced backwards and put a lot of distance between himself and Toguro. The crowd went silent as Toguro stood, body black with bruises and blood seeping freely from his mouth.
"One Hundred Percent." His voice came out clearly, ringing like a death sentence in the air. His skin hardened and peeled, his aura exploded like a light coming on. Muscle began forming outside of his skin, enveloping him in an extra layer of flesh, like a gruesome armor he cultivated from his opponents.
He flicked his thumb, and Yusuke was sent flying. Toguro kept up this attack even as Yusuke recovered, forcing the kid onto a heavy defensive. Finally Yusuke broke away and moved in to land a punch, but Toguro stopped him with his outstretched thumb. I barely saw the next punch, but I heard the fateful sound of breaking bone. As Yusuke backed away his left arm hung limp. He had already begun charging energy for a second blast.
This time Toguro puffed out his chest as the attack came, and it dissipated on contact. In an instant he slammed his fist into Yusuke's chest and sent him flying into the audience. Suddenly energy began pouring from the arena, and flying into two small nubs near Toguro's neck. Demons further down began exploding into energy and being drawn in. The crowd decided it did not like the idea of being consumed and began to flee. Walls came up around the ruined arena preventing escape; the desperate demons turned on Toguro in an attempt to survive. The ones that attacked lasted moments.
Enraged Yusuke lashed out at Toguro, flailing wildly; but Toguro beat him to the ground and began stepping on him. With a casual motion Toguro fired a blast, destroying the area next to Keiko. This was apparently enough of an incentive to get Yusuke back on his feet. He charged in landing a successful punch finally, but it was a short-lived burst as Toguro slapped him away again.
I saw a small bird like creature with huge rabbit ears float down to the arena, hovering over Yusuke and Toguro. Then anguished cries of the audience drowned out what was said, but the intent was obvious. Toguro turned away from Yusuke and honed in on the other four in the arena. At that moment I knew this fight was no longer between Yusuke and Toguro. I charged down to stop him, but I was too late. Kuwabara charged, and Toguro's massive fingers punctured him. Blood poured out of his chest as I ran down.
"Yes!" My ears caught hold of that hollow sound. I saw Addan speeding onto the arena, as he passed Toguro he paused. "Don't worry, I'll leave you to your fight. But I think now is as good a time as any to fulfill my mission. Toguro seemed to hesitate, but turned his attention to Yusuke.
"Whatever." He said.
I skidded to a stop, the others behind me, Addan loomed over us; and in the background Yusuke, crippled in despair.
