Thoughts"Could we get a Yusuke Urameshi and a uh Great Saiyaman up here?" Juri asked confusion evident in her voice once she reached the name of Great Saiyaman. What a weird name. I never noticed it before, but what's with the name. What's a saiyaman? Juri smiled at the audience, but stopped the very moment Yusuke and The Great Saiyaman entered the ring. Great, he's still wearing that stupid costume. Why can't he wear some normal clothes? The Dark Tournament had some weird outfits, but none as weird as this. Juri shook her head and quickly glanced around hoping no one had noticed.
"Yusuke, be careful!" Kurama shouted. "Remember what Koenma told us!" He seemed to be shouting, but his voice wasn't really that loud. Most of the remaining people had the same thought running through their heads. Whowas Koenma?
"I know, I know." Yusuke shouted back. So this guy is a saiyan whatever that is. Guess I get to find out. He looks familiar somehow like I've seen him before somewhere.
"Have I fought you before?" Yusuke asked. "Or know you from somewhere…" Yusuke asked suddenly. A panicked look crossed the Great Saiyaman's face briefly before it was calm again.
"I don't believe we've met before." Gohan said in his Great Saiyaman voice. Smooth Gohan, smooth. That sounded so stupid and now he's going to be suspicious. He's going to keep asking me and…
"Okay."
Huh, he's not suspicious? I must be getting better at this superhero stuff.
"Are you ready to begin?" Koto asked the two.
Yusuke nodded well the Great Saiyaman did the same.
"Okay, begin!" Koto yelled. The crowd roared with excitement.
Yusuke dropped into one of the fighting stances he had learnt from Genkai and stared at his opponent, the Great Saiyaman. A few thoughts were running through his head at this point. Number one, why was he called the Great Saiyaman? It probably had something to do with him being a saiyan. Number two, why was he wearing such a stupid looking costume? Did that have something to so with being a saiyan too? Number three, how much of his strength did he show in his last match. How powerful was he really?
The Great Saiyaman, noticing that Yusuke was standing in a fighting stance, dropped into one of his own. Like Yusuke he had many thoughts running through his head. Number one, he hoped Yusuke wouldn't be able to "unmask" him. He didn't want Yusuke to know he was a fighter. Number two, how did Yusuke and his friends get that strong? Who trained them? Number three, why was he participating in this tournament? Was he being bribed too?
Koto stood there in-between them glancing between the two. "Who will make the first move?" Koto announced in a mysterious voice. She kept glancing between the two. They were both in a fighting stance, but they each had a glazed look on their face as though they were thinking really hard about something.
"Ummm…fighters?" Koto said quietly, loud enough for Yusuke and the Great Saiyaman to hear, but not the audience…she hoped. The glazed look that had been there just seconds before was now gone and they seemed to have given her their full attention.
"I said begin a minute or two ago," Koto said as she held the microphone away from her. "You can fight now you know."
Not even a second passed before the fight began. Each fighter rushed forward, and threw a punch at the other. Neither connected and both fighters flipped backwards to their original position.
That seemed kind of pointless, Juri looked at each of the two fighters. I wonder who's going to win.
Yusuke charged back in, follow by a kick aimed to the Great Saiyaman's head. The Great Saiyaman ducked just in time and swung his leg around intending to trip Yusuke. Yusuke jumped, or rather, flipped back out of the way. The Great Saiyaman ran towards Yusuke and aimed a punch at Yusuke's chest. Yusuke quickly blocked and countered with his own punch. Unbeknownst to the Great Saiyaman, Yusuke's punch had as aftershock and sent him flying back a few feet.
Yusuke charged up a spirit gun and fired it at the Great Saiyaman. With some quickly thinking, the Great Saiyaman got off a ki blast and fired it at the ball of energy coming towards him. The two met somewhere in the middle of the two fighters and caused a mini explosion successfully putting a small crater in the middle of the arena.
Neither one of the fighters seemed to be showing any exhaustion yet and continued the battle. They met at the crater they had just created and threw punches back and forth. The Great Saiyaman was hit in the face, Yusuke in the stomach, the Great Saiyaman was tripped, Yusuke was tripped, and then they rolled to the sides, got up, and resumed their fight in the middle of the arena. Yusuke received a punch to the head, the Great Saiyaman received another one to the head, then he quickly received on to the stomach sending him skidding back across the arena, dust flying up until he stopped.
Yusuke had a smirk on his face, happy that he had the advantage, for the moment. The dust in the air was beginning to fade away. First from where Yusuke stood revealing a pair of sunglasses that seemed to be in pieces. The frames bent and tiny pieces of glass lying close to the bent frame.
The dust slowly faded away to also reveal the bandana that usually covered the Great Saiyaman's head lying on the ground. It was dirty and ripped in a few spots. I'll finally get to know who he is, was the one thought on everybody's mind.
The dust then disappeared altogether to expose the Great Saiyaman. He was starting to stand-up, but his head was tilted towards the ground. No one could see his face to figure out who he was. He slowly lifted his head and Yusuke's eyes widened in shock. He did know this guy. It was his classmate and softy extraordinaire, Gohan. Never in a million years did he expect that guy to be fighting in a tournament like this and be something called a saiyan at that.
