Okay here is round two of the finals, I hope you all like it. Please leave a review and let's begin the chapter.


Chapter 29 Matt's Defenses

"Now then let's get it started!" Yuji said as his avatar swung it's weapon forward but Matt's avatar put up a shield to block the attack and pushed backwards knocking Yuji's avatar on the ground. Matt's avatar then took its shield and swung it downward slamming Yuji's avatar onto the ground. Matt's avatar held the shield over Yuji's avatar pinning it down and making it unable to get out.

"Darn it, you got to be kidding me. Right off the bat and we are already in a bad situation." Yuji said irritated.

"Sorry but I'm not going to let my friends defeat go to waste. Now then how are you going to escape from this?" Matt said

"I have a few ideas." Yuji said as he seemed to grow more serious.

"Smart, Yuji knows that it would be pointless to just struggle so he's trying to focus and raise his determination. After all this will increase his avatars power and it may allow him to escape from this trap. Or at least I hope things will work out that way." Shouko said

"Don't worry, Yuji may be an annoying jerk and a pain in the butt but he can fight and I'm sure he'll be able to win in the end. Trust me if there's thing Yuji's good at, it's being stubborn." Yoshii said happily.

"I see. Now then Akihisa."

"Yea what is it Shouko?" Yoshii asked looking towards Shouko.

"Did you really call me darling Yuji a pain in the butt." Shouko said as Yoshii sensed an evil like aura coming from her body.

"Hey calm down it's not like I'm serious. We always joke around like that. You know me and him are best buddies." Yoshii said laughing

"You better have been kidding" Shouko said irritated as she focused back on Yuji.

"Got to focus. Focus." Yuji said as he tried to focus and raise his determination to win so he could break out.

"Wow so you're trying to get out huh. Smart but let's see if you will be able to do it." Matt said looking interested.

Yuji kept on causing his avatar to grow stronger and stronger and then once his avatar had enough strength, it knocked the shield up and got away and then swung it's weapon slamming it into Matt's avatar pushing it away.

"Now let's see if you can survive this!" Yuji said as his avatar created its sword and took it and moved it backwards and then prepared to fire it. Yuji's avatar then threw the sword and it pierced Matt's avatars body knocking it backward.

"Damn that looks like it hurt. This isn't good however I doubt that this match is over just because you got a good hit in. Trust me my avatar won't be beaten after a hit like that." Matt said

Matt's avatar reached towards the sword that was stuck inside its body and pulled it out. Matt's avatar then held onto the sword and slashed Yuji's avatar with and then jumped backwards to put a distance between the two avatars.

"I doubt you'll be able to do much now that I have your avatar's weapon on my avatar but still I better play it safe. After all the last thing I'd want is for things to end badly for me." Matt said with a confident smile clearly knowing that he was in a really good situation and that the chances of him losing were low.

"Yea good point I suppose. Damn it I really was counting on your avatar being defeated by that sword we threw at your avatar. If I had known that you would be okay then I never would've take such a huge risk. Now not only are you able to counter attack, but now you have my weapon. Man what a pain in the ass. Now then how should we get our weapon back?" Yuji said as he started thinking of a way to attack.

"You really don't stand much of a chance so I doubt you can get your weapon back. And if you're wondering why your weapon didn't take out my avatar, well I suppose my avatar is a really strong willed avatar. Trust me, me and this avatar have taken plenty of beaten but this one is quite the stubborn little guy. Honestly it can get annoying at times but I suppose it may be because I'm such a stubborn guy too." Matt said with a smile.

"Really I never would've guessed. Still you and that avatar have to have some weak point. Your confident right now while I'm on my guard so that'll be a huge advantage for me." Yuji said calmly

"Yea that is true but maybe it's not the best strategy to announce my one weakness to me. I appreciate the warning but it was a bad call on your part." Matt said with a smirk.

"We'll see about that. Don't go thinking I'm finished just because I lost my weapon for a short while. We will be able to win this." Yuji said as his avatar took a fighting stance.

"Aw man that's you best idea. So you're going to try to use hand to hand combat to get your weapon back. What a waste of time but I suppose you don't have any other choice and beggars can't be choosers. Either way times to take you out." Matt said as his avatar moved forward and got ready to attack Yuji's avatar.

Yuji sighed at this. "Oh well. Winning this way normally isn't my style but I have no choice. Beggars can't be choosers like you said earlier." Yuji said

Matt's avatar went to hit Yuji's avatar and finish it off but just as Matt's avatar got close to Yuji's avatar, Yuji's avatar moved its hands and knocked the sword out of its way. Yuji's avatar then proceeded to move right on up to Matt's avatar and sweep its foot knocking it down. Then Yuji's avatar hit Matt's avatar in the face with its fist. Matt's avatar then swung the sword but Yuji's avatar was able to easily avoid the blade by jumping over it. Yuji's avatar then leapt forward and went to punch Matt's avatar in the face again but this time Matt's avatar put up the shield and attempted to block the fist. However just as Yuji's avatar got close to hitting Matt's avatar, Yuji's avatar changed its direction of its attack quickly and attacked Matt's avatar's hands causing Matt's avatar to drop the sword. Yuji's avatar the grabbed the sword and jumped out of the way to regain its stance and now keep the weapon it worked so hard to steel back.

"Aw man what a pain in the ass. Now you and your avatar have your sword back. Man times like these really make me wish you would just quite. It would make things so much easier then these things are." Matt said complaining.

"Sorry but I have no intention of quitting. My answer won't change no matter how many times you ask me. But if you would like to quit then by all means go ahead and give up." Yuji said

"Aw man that would make things easier. Although I don't think that would be a good option. My team would be quite disappointed. Still I am curious, how did you gain so much strength?" Matt asked sounding confused about Yuji's actions.

"I started to focus. I knew if I could focus all of my avatars power on its reflexes then I would be able to counter you. Looks like that gamble paid off." Yuji said

"OH boy yea it did." Matt said annoyed

Before Matt could do anything, Yuji's avatar jumped right near Matt's avatar and swung its sword hitting Matt's avatar in the chest.

"Hey come on I wasn't even ready." Matt said

However Yuji's avatar kept on attacking and hit Matt's avatar once again.

"Man this is becoming a real pain. Can you please cut it out? Don't make me take you out right now." Matt said suddenly sounding really annoyed and serious.

Yuji's avatar went to hit Matt's avatar but suddenly the shield Matt's avatar had got surrounded by spikes. Matt's avatar then took the shield and slammed it on top of Yuji's avatar's head causing it to fall to the ground and get finished.

"NO way." Yuji said shocked

"Sorry but that's my last resort and I had to use it to take your avatar out." Yuji said

"Good try Yuji" Yuji heard Shouko say as she walked up.

"Shouko" Yuji said

"What are you going to apologize for losing? Don't bother. It happens and we couldn't care less. Now then I'll happily step up and finish what you started." Shouko said as she summoned her avatar.

""Aw man another fight. Now this is really a pain." Matt said

"It won't be long." Shouko said calmly.

"Good luck" Yuji said stepping down.

"Okay time for the next match. Shouko vs. Matt, begin." Misère said

"This'll be over quickly" Shouko said as her avatar appeared behind Matt's avatar and swung its sword knocking back Matt's avatar.

"Matt's avatar then went to hit Shoko's avatar but Shoko's avatar ducked and slashed Matt's avatar knocking it to the ground.

"Sorry, I suppose I just wanted to win a lot more then you." Shouko said

"You got to be kidding me. What a pain that avatar is. Still don't think that we are finished yet." Matt said

Suddenly Matt's avatar took its shield and slammed it onto Shoko's avatar knocking it down. Shouko's avatar was still standing but it looked as though it had taken some serious damage at that point.

Shouko then made her avatar quickly move towards Matt's avatar and this time it made sure to finish off Matt's avatar.

"Darn it, I was careless." Shouko said as she saw her weakened avatar.

"What happened?" Yoshii said shocked

"MY guess would be that Shouko got pissed that Matt beat me and went for a quick win. She got that however in doing so she left herself wide open for a counter attack. Damn it looks like even she lets her guard down sometimes." Yuji said

"Yea and now she's weakened to whoever is next." Yuko said annoyed

"And I'm up next. Boy waits till you see what I can do." Merissa said as she stepped up and swapped places with Matt.

"This really is not a good situation. Oh well I suppose I'll just have to manage." Shouko said as she got her avatar ready for another round and tried to come up with a way she could win this thing.
