At last, the conclusion to the Combat Tournament part of my story is here. It may not be a very large chapter but I hope that it'll be good enough. Now, without wasting another moment here we go with the story. I don't own digimon.
Chapter 11:
Final Moments!
Use The Cyclone Slash
"Where do you think you're going?" questioned someone from behind him. With the look of surprise he turned around and saw Daisuke slowly making his way back to his feet just before the count reached ten. "You really didn't think that was all it was going to take to beat me did you?" Cranking his neck a loud bobbing sound was heard. "This match is far from over."
"You may have surprised me by getting up from that attack but be wise that it is only the start of what I have plan on you and trust me you'll regret getting back up." "Blah, blah, blah. Could you please shut up and let us continue our match?" "As you wish. I'm not one to disappoint someone who wishes to get themselves slaughtered."
Once again the two of them were in a standoff waiting for the other to move. For a second time Daisuke was the one to go in and again he tried the same maneuver that he attempted earlier. Seeing what he was planning on doing, Jin simply did the same thing that he did the last time. However, that was what Daisuke was hoping for as soon as he lost sight of him he turned around and blocked the oncoming knee with his forearm. Using this unexpected maneuver to his advantage he placed his other hand over Jin's chest and slammed him down to the ground.
Stepping away he surveyed what he did as the audience cheered at what he did. "You can get up now. I know that wasn't enough to keep you down." Just as he expected Jin got back to his feet. "Apparently I can't pull the wool over your eyes. Maybe I should take you more seriously." "Are you trying to get me all upset or are you simply stalling for time for something? Maybe it's the second one since you are too afraid to come at me."
Obviously that struck a nerve with Jin as he was the one to go on the offense. Bracing himself for whatever came, Daisuke positioned his sword in the way. In incredible speed he was attacked with numerous strikes but he was able to block them. However, the force of their two swords hit each other it was enough to push Daisuke back all the way to the edge of the fighting platform.
"This is the end for you. If you fall off of the platform it'll be considered a lost for you and give me the win." Reeling back he thrust forward in attempt to end this whole thing over with. Thinking quickly Daisuke jumped as high as he could and flipped over Jin to avoid the upcoming strike. "There is no way that you're going to beat me with a technicality like that. We've got a long way to go before one of us goes down in defeat."
This time both men when at each other at the same time with them going at on each other tooth and nail, delivering relentless attacks. To those who were watching it looked as though the two were even and that neither one would give up but to those who were more experience fighters could see otherwise.
"Amazing." whispered Sora who liked everyone else were amazed by how forceful the two men were going at it. "Those two are really going at each other." "I'll say." added Izumi. "It looks as those two are even and could go on forever." Takuya quickly came up with an argument over that. "Are you kidding? Daisuke will make sure work of this Jin person in no time you just wait and see." During this whole time Taichi was quiet, focusing solely on the match. "Hey, what's the deal with you Taichi? You seem to be taking this a little serious aren't you?"
"It's the match between those two. Look at how hard they are going at each other." "Uh, of course they are. We're watching the same match as you are." retorted Takuya. "I don't mean it like that. The way that Daisuke and Jin are going at each other it looks as though they are willing to take each other out to stop the other."
All of them were shocked to hear about this discovery, all of them expect for Hikari who had not said a single word and wasn't so surprise about what her brother said since she overheard the conversation between the two of them. As she watched the action on the stage she had the same thought kept repeating in her head. Please don't do it Daisuke. Don't go too far and sink to Jin's level.
After a relentless assult the two fighters finally broke away from each other to gain some air. "Not bad Motomiya. You've proven me wrong by thinking that you were something above adventage fighter." "Thanks. The same goes for you as well. But that doesn't mean that I won't take you down." "Do you still believe that you'll be able to beat me? You're good but not good enough to win." "Let's quit our little chat and continue our match."
Wordlessly the two went back at each other and neither one of them were going nonstop. Unfortunately after sometime Daisuke was knocked to the ground and before he could get back up Jin tried to slam his sword across his chest but Daisuke blocked it with his own. It was now a power struggle on who would have the advantage and by the look of things Jin was gaining control.
"This is the end. Don't you worry though, I don't plan on killing you now, I'll be doing that after the tournament. But before I end this I want to tell you something." Leaning over he place his head right beside Daisuke's ear. "Once I am done with you I'm going get that little girlfriend of yours and what I plan on doing to her they can sentence me to numerous life sentences."
Once he heard those words it lit a fire inside Daisuke as he pushed Jin all the away and started to slash at him with vicious assaults that cause him to be push back. This continued until Jin was on the verge of falling out of the ring, thereby losing the match. Just as it seemed as though he was going to fall to the ground he was stopped by Daisuke who grabbed him. Taken by total surprise by his opponent's unexpected move Jin was unprepared when he was literally tossed into the center of the stage.
"Do you actually think that I would allow you to get out of this by just falling off of the stage? Afraid not." As he marched over to his opponent he turned his sword so that the sharp side was in front. "After what you did to Jin, Nori and Takuya you can never be forgiven and I will show you no chance to do something like that again to someone else again."
Raising his sword over his head he prepared to deliver a fatal blow until a voice shouted out. "Please Daisuke, don't do it." Stopping his strike in mid motion he turned to the where the sound came from and saw that it came from Hikari. "Don't do it Daisuke. Don't be like him by severly hurting him. Show him that you're better than he is."
Regaining his composure Daisuke lowered his sword down. "You're right Hikari. I'm not like him. In fact, I'm better than him. Thank you for helping me in remembering that. Get to back to your feet Jin and lets finish this." Not allowing this chance to go away he back to his feet and was ready to continue. "You're a fool for not finishing me off when you had the chance. I'll make you'll regret ever giving me a chance to fight back." "Maybe what I did is considered foolish but it was my decision to make and I for one want it like this."
Not bothering to continue the conversation the two went at one another once again and just as before they were fighting with all they could muster. However, even though that it appeared as they were fighting with everything that they had both of them were reaching their breaking points. Daisuke knew this as well but he also knew that he would reach his end before Jin. "I have to do something quick or I'll lose this match and most certainlly something more once this is all over. I don't have no choice but to try it."
Back flipping away, Daisuke griped the hilt of his sword tightly and charged in once again. Preparing himself for whatever was coming his way Jin went into a defensive position and waited for whatever was to come. Just as it seemed as though Daisuke was going for a frontal assault when suddenly he went to the side. Following his moment Jin saw that he was actually heading straight for the wall that seperated the fighting stage from the waiting area.
"What is that fool up to? Is he trying to take himself out of the match on purpose? It doesn't matter as I'm going to take him away from this world soon after this is over." When Daisuke finally reached the wall he leapt to the top of it and jumped even higher up. As he reached high as he could he started descending back to the ground and to be more specifically straight down at Jin.
Sseeing him coming, Jin placed his katana above in an attempt to the upcoming downward strike. On the halfway point of his decent Daisuke started to do a couple of front flips to apparently gain more momentum for his attack. "Cyclone Slash!" With the combined force of coming down and added drive that came with all those flips was enough for Daisuke to not only make Jin's defensive useless but was actually able to cut his katana with his own sword.
When it went passed the broken weapon the sword hit Jin directly on his shoulder and collarbone. Unfortunately, despite that he was able to make solid contact the momentum that came with the maneuver still cause him to go crashing down onto the stage.
The crowd were in complete shock as both men were now laying on the ground motionless and with neither of them getting up. Not a word was said throughout the entire audience until the official started to speak. "Amazing. After an unbelievable maneuver by Daisuke both men are down on the ground and as by the rules I will begin the count."
Neither men were moving until the count of four as they started to stir. To the dismay of everyone Jin was the first one to his feet. "How was it possible that someone like him was able to preform such a maneuver? There is only one other person that could do such a move and there is no way that he would've taught it to anyone." Looking in front of him he saw that Daisuke was now getting up.
"I guess what he said about Daisuke was true. When he has his back against the wall he is capable of doing anything even if it seems to be impossible. I congradulate you Motomiya on a job well done however, you won't be able to stop what lies ahead of you." With no more energy in him he fell back to the ground.
"Seven.......eight.......nine.......ten. That is it folks. The end of the Combat Tournament has come to an end and the winner of it is.......Daisuke Motomiya." The entire crowd went nuts as Daisuke, who was up on his shaky legs was declared the winner not only the match but the entire tournament. As soon as the announcement was made Taichi and all the others came into the stage to congradulate him. Soon after the majority of audience came in to show there praise that they had for him.
While this was going on the police grabbed a nearly unconscious Jin and started to take him to the nearest jail. "You did it Daisuke." voiced Hikari who was able to get herself right beside him. "I'm so proud of you for you not sinking to his level." "No, it's me that should be thanking you Hikari." In a surprising move he wrapped his arms around her to give her a deep embrace. "It was you that stopped me from doing something that I would regret later on. I'm eternally thankful." Not bothering to say anything she just returned the gesture and embraced him.
Well, there we go with the end of this chapter. Of course, there will be a follow up chapter that will set up for what's comes next in my story. I hope that you enjoyed the chapter and please remember to leave a review. Until the next chapter, see ya.
