Zack sat down on the couch. It had been several days since they fought, and they had all fully recovered.
"Hey John, the fight today is going to decide who were going to fight next, don't you think we should scope out the competition?" Zack asked
"I had the same idea, where are Sean and Rios?" John replied
"Their at the bar, they wont be back for a couple of hours, lets say we just go."
"Sounds good, let's go" John stood up and walked over to get his coat."
They both walked to the arena when they got their they entered the main entrance and sat down on one of the benches by the platform. There were two teams sitting down, there was a man with bluish skin, two very pale people, and the rest looked fairly normal.
The same announcer as the other day was there. The man with blue skin stepped up, the shorter pale person also walked onto the arena.
"Are you Ready start!" the announcer yelled, the blue man's right fist started to glow, and suddenly the whole arena felt very cold. He brought his fist forward and a beam shot at the pale man, the pale man put his hand up, and his fingers stretched out and made some sort of shield. The beam hit his fingers and they froze into solid ice.
"That would explain who these two people are" Zack whispered to john.
"Yeah, Seiryu the Blue dragon, and Elder Toguro."
The pale man formed his left arm into a blade and cut off his right hand, however it quickly grew back.
The pale man put both of his arms forward, they stretched out and grabbed the blue man, he lifted him off of the ground, then lifted him up and smashed him down into the stone, after that he threw him at his own team. He hit the ground, then passed out.
"That was a joke of a round" said Zack
"The next two fighters stood up, one man stood up from the team who just lost, and what looked like a kid no older than John or Zack stood up.
"The boy, spread a cold air around the whole room, but his was different, he turned the whole arena into ice." The man paid no attention to this, he jumped out of the arena, dirt and mud and gravel started to form around him, a large armor surrounded his whole body.
"Hm, Touya Vs. Risho" this one should be interesting." The smaller mans right arms was being covered in layer after layer of ice, until a razor sharp sword of ice covered his entire arm.
The larger man charged at his foe, The man with the armor jumped into the air, coming down with the force of a meteor. The young man side stepped to his left, when the man came by him he swung his sword of ice, cutting the mans armor as well as slashing his arm. The aromor that surrounded his body broke off. The now armor-less man hit the ground, he started to turn around, but it was two late, the ice blade swung again. This time making a direct hit with the mans head. He didn't seam to be dead yet, but he would be within the next couple of minutes.
Three men came out with a stretcher. One man was wearing a white coat. He was obviously a doctor. HE examined the man, then after a few minutes he was confirmed still alive, but in critical condition.
2 more fighters approached the arena. "Hey, that's Pablo!" Zack yelled.
"Pablo?" John asked
Zack turned and looked at his friend "Pablo was the Mexican fighter I fought in our first battle!"
Pablo started the fight in his usual matter, he created his sword from his hand. The other man's right hand was doing something funny, it was shape shifting, after a few seconds his entire hand became an axe.
"This is an interesting one" John said "Makintaro vs. Roto"
"Yea" Zack Replied,
The two men charged each other, Pablo was moving at a much faster rate then Zack remembered last time. The man with the axe fist took a downward swing at Pablo. But Pablo rolled to the side, The axe came around again, this time Pablo jumped over it, Pablo swung at the Axe wielder, the man jumped back, but it wasn't far enough, as The sword hand scratched his stomach. He charged again, The axe struck down in the same fashion as last time, but this time Pablo stepped into the man, using his sword to peirce the man in the chest. The axe man fell to the ground. Pablo now stood above him, ready to strike again.
"Please don't, show some mercy, please" The axe man begged for his life…and Pablo answered. He let the man run off of the arena to his team.
The next to step up. This time John recognized one of the fighters to be the man that he first fought, the man with M1's powers.
Not before long the other man flew into the air, he grabbed the Mexican's arm and flew around the ring at supersonic pace. He let go of the man, and he flew into the wall, ending the fight in less than a minute.
John looked at the man who he had fought before, "Hm, he hasn't gotten better at all."
John looked at the team who they were going to have to face tomorrow. "Touya, Elder Toguro, Makintaro, And Jin. This will be a tough one.
They walked back to their hotel room, when they got their Sean and Rios were back.
"Hey, were were you guys, we've been looking for you for a while now!" Sean asked
They told them all about the fights they just watched.
IT was still early, around sevenish. John went into the kitchen area of the room, he came back with a paper and pencil.
We still have one advantage, time, they just had to fight today so maybe some of them will be a little worn out tomorrow. Makintaro is clearly the weakest one. None of the other team even laid a finger on them. Touya looks to be the strongest one. But Jin finished his fight in less than one minute. Makintaro will probably go last. Sean should fight earlier this time he didn't have to fight last fight.
Alright, I should fight Jin, I probably would have the best chance. If Rios fought Touya then maybe the ice sword won't break his skin. No, That's too optimistic. Zack might be able to beat him if he uses his shield he could drain him of his energy. No, he could dodge it too easily, but still its our best chance.
John wrote on the paper, a few minutes later the Paper read
John vs. Jin
Zack vs. Touya
Sean vs. Elder Toguro
Rios vs. Makintaro
That should work.
He called everyone to the couch area, then he explained who was going to fight who.
"Are you crazy!?!" Zack yelled "He'll rip me to pieces!"
John looked at him, "Zack, I put a lot of thought into this, and out of all of us, I think that you have the best chance in winning.
"I think you've lost your mind!" Zack yelled
"Yea, but you probably have the best chance in beating him, who knows, maybe we could end this before you have to fight."
Zack stared at john for a moment longer, when he realized that John wasn't budging he finally gave in.
"Fine…you gave this a lot of thought."
"Hey John, the fight today is going to decide who were going to fight next, don't you think we should scope out the competition?" Zack asked
