"If you want, too." she stated and got into stance.

"Moko Jokiru!" she yelled out.

Gendo moved out of the way, but was still hit. The hit connect with him under his arm. He groan out in pain and moved away from her. He rubbed his arms a little to get the pain out.

"So, are you good."

"You should haven't underestimated me."

"Well I won't make the same mistake again."

Gendo ran at her and threw a left hook. She moved out of the way and was caught on the shoulder. He then grabbed her wrist and delivered a punch to her underarm. He then let go and kicked her in the face.

She stepped back from the hit and shacked her head. She then did a somersault kick to his jaw. And she left a blue arch in the air behind her. She had yelled out, "Moko Jokiru!"

Gendo fell to the ground and rolled away. He started to stand up and spit blood out of his mouth. He then whipped the blood trickling out of his mouth.

They charged at each other. She threw a kick at him and it was blocked by a forearm. He then threw a punch with his other hand at her. She blocked the attack and was pushed back by his attack. Gendo took the initiative and dropped to his knees. He put his left hand on the ground and then spun himself in a spiral.

He yelled out, "Shinku Kataegoma!"

He kicked Sakura with his feet nine times at the high speed. He then soon stopped. Sakura flew to the other side of the ring. She slide on the ground before standing up.

"The winner by ring out is Gendo Nikaido of the Elemental Team!"

He walked from the other side of the ring and made to the group. He then dropped next to Hoshi who then jumped into the ring. He didn't say a word to Gendo or Karou.

"What's wrong with him?" asked Gendo.

Karou shrugged and replied, "I don't know."
After helping his daughter out then Koenma got back in the ring. Both the fighters stood across from each other. They both then walked to the middle of the ring.

Hoshi had his hands in his pants pocket as he walked. He then stopped in the middle. And was close to Koenma.

"I have a question for you?" he asked.

"What is it?" replied Hoshi.

"Are you Ranma Saotome?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because I want to know. I had some dealings with his father. So, are you him?"

"How bout I tell you if you after the match."

"Fine."

They both got into thir stances and then rushed at each other. Hoshi threw the first punch and was blocked by the forearm. He was then punched in the face.

Hoshi staggered a little and got his equilibrium back. He was just in time to duck under a kick that was aimed at his head. He dropped to his knees and swung his left foot from right to left.

Koenma was tripped onto his back. He dropped his right hand hit the ring a pushed himself from falling and which trusted himself into the air. He then threw out his left hand and called his attack.

"Ryu Tenha!" and shot an golden blast at him.

Hoshi jumped out of the way and rolled away. As the blast struck the ground where he had previously stood. Hoshi stood up and then ran at him, as he got close to Koenma he threw a left punch.

Koenma moved out of the way of Hoshi's punch only to get caught by the right hand. He caught him around the neck. Hoshi then picked him up with one hand off of the ground. The flame danced around his arm and he caught Koenma's whole body on fire.

"Kaen Daija!!"

He then punched him in the stomach with his left fist a couple of times. He then slammed him into the ground. Hoshi got kicked in the face as he left go of Koenma. He staggered back a little and fell to one knee his right hand touched the ground.

They both stood up at the same time. Hoshi stood straight a small trickle of blood came out of his mouth. He whipped it off with his thumb. Koenma was started to stand up his clothes were slightly scourged by the fire.

"I was wondering when you would reveal your elemental skill. But I never thought that it was the flame."

"Well what can I say I like to hold my opponent in suspense."

"It's know wonder you and your friends group is called the 'Elemental Team.' One of you'll can control ice, lightning, and fire. You three are quite dangerous."

"You may perceive whatever you want to see use as being dangerous. We are not, we are just strong fighters. That is all nothing more nothing less."

"Well shall we finish?"

"Let's."

They ran at each other and then started to throw only punches at each other. There hit each other in the face blood flied out of the others mouth.
"This would be a tough fight for anyone. But Hoshi is handling it good. I would be a though fight for me."

"You got that right. I know I'm good. But even I can't take on a Grandmaster of one's style."

"I would have a tough time too."

"Yeah."
They kept trading punches with each other. Some landed in the chest and in the stomach. Hoshi was punching with the flame around his fist. Koenma punches were ki enhance. He punched Hoshi one last time in the face.

He flew back and slide in a crouching motion. He slide to a stop a couple of ways from the edge of the ring. He had blood coming out of his mouth. All of a sudden he jumped in the air.
