"You know that the finals aren't going to be for three days?" Zack asked John
"Yea I heard, that's good for you Sean, give you plenty of time to heal that awful wound of yours" John said
"Actually, my leg feels fine already; those herbs really helped a lot."
"The next fight is going to be really tough, the other team is going to be really strong, We might not make it a one two three sweep like these last fights" Rios Said
It was Zack's turn to speak, "Oh have some faith guys, After my last fight, I feel pretty much invincible."
"Yea, don't ask me how you won; he was a whole lot stronger than you." John teased him
Suddenly there was a knock on the hotel room door. Rios walked up to the door "Who is it?" He said.
"Its Ryan", the man from behind the door replied.
Rios opened the door and Ryan walked in.
"Hey, long time no see!" Zack greeted him
"Likewise" Ryan Greeted him "So Zack, are you saving that Other Technique for the Final? You haven't used it yet."
"Yea, imp going to save it, It takes a lot of energy though so I'm going to wait and see if I need to." Zack answered
"Ok, Very good, There was another reason I came, can't quite remember, oh yea! Now I remember. Hey John I've got something for you." He handed John a Piece of Bamboo
"Obviously without you the scientists don't know what it would transform into, but they altered it somehow so that it's unbreakable.
John took the strange piece of bamboo, he transferred some of his energy into it and a large bamboo spear appeared in his hands.
"Wow, this could come in handy" He Retransformed it and put it away in his pouch."
"Sean, they gave me this to give to you also" Ryan pulled out a canteen
"The liquor inside it is one hundred percent alcohol." IT would probably kill a normal person if they drank it, but it should boost your power a lot more that the regular whiskey you normally drink.
"Alright, you guys only have one more fight left, after this, John and Zack, you'll be able to go back to your homes, there will be no further use for you as of then."
"One more then we get to go home" John muttered
Two Days Later
As usual the four walked into the Stadium, there was one difference this time, the usually empty boxes were now filled with Dozens of Government powers.
"huh, fighting with an audience now" Rios Muttered
The opposing team once again was already there waiting for them to get to the arena.
"Dammit, are me ever going to be on time for these things." Sean Yelled.
"Ladies and Gentleman, Lords and Ladies Are you all ready to watch the final fight of this tournament and see who will become a world power? Let me introduce the Teams, Team Venezuela/China is on your right. And Team United States/Ireland is on your left. Now without any further ado, Commence in this team battle.
"Before you start, I would like to tell you the new rule changes for the finals. It will now be a best out of three fights, so only three of your four team members can fight. Now let's start!"
Zack Stepped up first, On the Other team another man stepped up.
The Announcer Asked "both fighters please say your first names"
"Zack" "Vincent"
"Zack vs. Vincent, Begin!"
Vincent Raised his hands, as if he were holding something. Zack formed one spirit sword. Vincent Slashed his arm sideways. Suddenly Zack felt as if he were punched in the stomach very hard. He swung his arm again, but this time Zack Jumped out of the way,
His weapon is too long for me to get close enough to hit with my sword, only one way
Zack raised his Spirit Sword up into the air. "Sword get long!" He yelled. The spirit sword suddenly tripled in length.
Zack swung the gigantic sword at his opponent, but Vincent parried it with his own energy javelin.
I can't see his but he can see mine ok just close your eyes and try to find a trace of his energy. Zack closed his eyes. He shrunk his sword back down to normal. He waited…waited… "There!" Zack yelled as he brought his sword up to parry the invisible javelin. He knocked the invisible sword to the side, Zack went to try to hit his enemy when Thwack! Zack was hit in the ribs with the invisible Javelin. Zack fell to the ground clutching his left side, He got up quickly but was hit again with the invisible weapon right in the face, he hit the ground again. The announcer ran up to him and started counting "One…Two…Three…" Zack Struggled to get to his feet, his energy sword disappeared, he got up but once again he was struck by the invisible energy, luckily he managed a block with his arm, he managed to stay on his feet,
"AHHHHH…" Zack flew into a blinding rage "Spirit Sword Shotgun!" he yelled as the energy pieces flew through the air, a few hit the target, but not enough to deal any real damage, the invisible javelin struck again, and now Zack was almost depleted of energy, he fell back once more
"Zack!" John yelled, he realized that it was hopeless.
I have to win, I Have to go home but there's nothing I can do, I'm failing my team! Zack climbed to his feet, "Spirit Sword" he yelled, but what appeared in his hand was not a sword, it fell closer to a large knife. Zack leapt into the air, but was hit back by the javelin and launched across the arena, he hit the stone floor hard. He tried to get up again, but was knocked down, again, but his feet were knocked out from under him.
I just want to go home
"Zack! Stay Down!, your out of energy, no possible way to win at all!"
"One, Two, three, Four, five, six, seven, eight…" Zack got on his hands and knees, but was hit in the back by the Javelin,
"nine, and Ten!" That's a Match!
John ran onto the floor. He picked up his friend, his white t-shire was soaked in blood from all the cuts from the slashes.
The Next Opponent was in the ring. John was furious, his anger was fueling his energy, no one except Zack could sense the amazing power radiating from john Right Now.
Whoa, with that strength, he could beat there whole team at once. Zack was thinking
Suddenly Zack's jet black hair started to turn White, his ears transformed into fox ears. A Minute later and All of Johns hair had become white. Zack sensed an energy diffrence as well.
Zack stared at his friend in amazement No way!, he really transformed into Yoko! I didn't think he would actually do it ever!
John leapt into the ring. "Ready, and start!" the announcer yelled. John pulled five roses out of his pouch, he also put on a metal bracelet, The bracelet had five slots in it, John Stuck one rose into each slot. He Then Transferred his energy directly into the bracelet, causing five rose whips to circle around his hand.
John jumped into the air, "Rose Whiplash!" John yelled, he threw his hand down and the whips all struck his opponent at the same time. Johns opponent had a large cut going across his chest. The man was on the ground, the five whips circled around each limp, one for each arm, one for each leg, and one for the torso. John swung his opponent So Fast over his head, and then slammed him straight into the stone wall that surrounds the stadium.
"Ummm, that fights over" One more to go and this final round is over."
Rios looked on in astonishment What just happened, John never would have been able to do that before, where did that power surge come from, if I do recall, He wasn't even able to maintain the rose bracelet for 10 seconds.
Sean was awestruck "That was amazing, since when could you do that?!?" he said.
John looked at them "I don't know, I just felt a huge power surge. I feel like going two in a row, hope you don't mind."
"Are you sure you're up to it?" Sean asked
"Vincent must have fought all their battles, he was obviously the strongest of the four. And Zack managed to tire him out enough so that he's just as weak as the rest of them"
The last opponent on the other team stood up, "big words coming from a small man." he barked at John.
"John versus Sam for the win, ready? Begin!"
Sam's entire body burst into flames, John pulled out the piece of bamboo he was given the other day. "Bamboo Spear!" It emerged.
"I can char that thing easy!" Sam muttered
A fireball was shot straight at John, but he batted it back at him with the spear, it flew straight at Sam and hit him in the chest.
Sam looked like he was in some pain, but not a great deal. "lucky shot!" I don't get it, it should have caught on fire Sam thought
John thrusted the spear, Sam dodged it and threw a few more fireballs towards john, who deflected al of them. "You'll have to throw them harder than that if you want to actually hit me." John taunted.
He thrust the spear again, but some descent acrobatics by Sam prevented him for getting maimed, He kept thrusting the spear, after a minute or two he swung the spear instead of thrust it. Not expecting the sudden change Sam was hit in the head. His head swam for a second or two but then he regained his sense, John used that split second to his advantage, for he hit him again with the spear, then turned around, he kept bashing him straight in the head on either side. Eventually the brute fell to his knees, that's when John pulled out a rose. He slammed him with the whip hard on the top of head. As a desperation shot Sam Created a large fireball and hurled it towards john. John, having only been a few steps away, got the full force of this gigantic ball of fire and hit the ground. His Navy blue t-shirt had a large hole in it where it had been burnt off. Sam regained himself and Launched Five more small fireballs, John Dodged four of them but the last one hit him right in the stomach.
After being hit, john Looked at his opponent and grinned. He patted some dust off his shoulder and said. "You don't get it do you your little fireballs wont do anything, although I'll admit that that huge one burned pretty bad, the second one just tickled.
"I don't get it! John never had power like this… he's just playing with this guy" Rios thought
"The only thing standing in me going home is you." He took out his spear again, but he turned it around to the dull side and thrusted it right into Sam, He raised him and threw him across into the stands."
"After two sensational rounds John leads his team to victory with back to back wins!" Suddenly John turned very pale. The sudden burst of power had depleted him and he fell to the ground. His New white hair had changed back to black, and his fox ears slowly shifted back to human ones.
"I don't get it, John beat an extremely powerful enemy without a problem, and what was with the ears and the hair?." Sean said, somewhat confused.
Zack looked at him "Zack used his burst of power to sub-consciously transform into the legendary spirit fox, Yoko. I didn't think that it was possible but he did it.
The Jet they landed here was still waiting for them, The new autopilot was set to go to a mile away from John and Zack's neighborhood. John and Zack were told that they can not tell anyone about their supernatural powers, for others may go looking after them. They were both supposed to say that for the last Eight months of their lives, they have been kidnapped, but escaped a short time ago.
"Alright, here you are." Ryan said as they got off the plane. Oh yea, Before I forget, here's a little token of our appreciation, he handed both boys large parcels.
"Thanks Ryan, through this whole thing, you've really been a lot of help, without your training we would never have survived any of this. I guess we'll see you again!" Zack said "And the Same Goes for you to!" Zack yelled at Rios and Sean.
"Yea!" John yelled, "we'll see each other again! Cummon Zack, we got a fairly long walk ahead of us."
A little while later John and Zack Returned to their own homes, both having a few unexplained scars. And Some new Muscles.
Johns House :knock knock knock:
"I'll be there in a second" said the voice of a women inside the house. She opened the door to see a man standing in front of her, he was several inches taller than her, and his long black hair was everywhere.
"John…is it really you! Oh we missed you so much, we thought you were…Hun! HUN! Look who's here!"
"What's all the racket about…" John's father was also staring at him now
"Hi mom, dad, long time no see huh" John said as cheery as he could,
His mother started to cry "My boy has really come back to us!"
"So John, where have you been the past half a year?" his dad said, trying to keep the manly tough act on.
John looked at his dad and started to laugh he thought of all the places he had been, He thought back to when they were all first captured. He wanted to say oh I've been to Secret military bases on uncharted islands, I spent six months in Ireland, then for the last week I've been fighting for my life in a ruthless tournament But he Just ended up saying.
"Oh, nowhere really."
Zack's House
Zack opened the door to his house. "Hey mom I'm home!" he yelled into the house. "Who in blazes ZACK! Where have you been?"
"Oh nowhere, just hanging out with some friends" Zack answered "Good, well you're just in time for dinner." His mother replied. "And what's with you missing all of your school, and your have F's in every subject, you sure are in trouble mister!"
I really like the way my family solved problems, just pretend like nothing ever happened, no point in shedding pointless tears over nothing Zack thought.
Zack then decided to open the package that Ryan had given to him. Inside there was a paper, he pulled it out and it was a report card reading that he had passed the ninth grade.
Also in the box was another envelope. Zack opened the envelope and a check came out. "What the…ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!!"
Authors note: So I Hoped that you liked my first real Story. You Can E-mail me at if you have questions or comments.
"Yea I heard, that's good for you Sean, give you plenty of time to heal that awful wound of yours" John said

"Zack! Stay Down!, your out of energy, no possible way to win at all!"
"One, Two, three, Four, five, six, seven, eight…" Zack got on his hands and knees, but was hit in the back by the Javelin,
