AN: In the last chapter, Yusuke and Tomoko continued their fight for their respected teams, and as the last chapter ended, a big explosion rocked the stadium, and as the smoke clears, a winner will be announced. Just who will it be, though?
Quick note: Instead of five members, I am changing it so that this fight will make more sense. Team Koto will now only have four members. Enjoy the chapter, readers.
Chapter Eleven: Deadly Games and Dirty Tricks Part IV
As the smoke cleared from the ringside area, Michael swore that he heard Kiwi counting to ten. Michael didn't protest, because he thought that Yusuke was in the ring, or found his way there in all of the confusion. The dust cleared, and Michael and the rest of the team soon saw what the end result was. Tomoko was dead, and Michael could tell because his head was in the stands, and his body was at ringside. How that happened was a mystery to everyone there. Michael looked around for Yusuke, and soon found him right there, with Miley, Oliver, Lilly, and Melody. He was knocked silly, but alive.
Michael sighed, and flew towards his friends and teammate.
"Everyone alright up here?" Michael asked, grabbing Yusuke as he came to.
"Yeah. We're cool." Miley answered. "How is he?"
"My head hurts, and I am so pissed that I lost that fight. How do you think I feel?" Yusuke snapped.
"He's fine." Michael said. Michael grabbed Yusuke, and carried him down to where the rest of the team was waiting on him.
"Well, it looks like it is up to me." Michael sighed.
"Knock him dead. No really, kill the SOB." Yusuke said.
"I will, don't you worry." Michael smiled, and headed to where his opponent was waiting.
"So, the next fight is Seto from Team Koto versus Michael from Team Urameshi!" Kuwi announced. "Ready? Begin!"
Seto smiled, running a hand through his long black hair. Michael smiled, and cracked his knuckles.
"Well, I sense absolutely no fear in you. We will soon see if that is justified." Seto stated.
"It is." Michael answered. "I take it that you have some tricks that I am going to like?"
"Sure am." Seto smiled. He formed a fireball in his hand, and threw it right at Michael, who moved his head ever so slightly just to avoid the attack. Michael looked back, and saw that Seto's little fire attack killed a few lower level demons in the row right behind him.
"Nice." Michael answered. "Do you have anything else? If not, this is going to be a really short fight."
"I do." Seto answered. Seto slowly levitated off the ground, and pointed two fingers in a gun like way at Michael. The teen wondered what was about to happen, but Seto soon answered that question when he shot lightning at him. Being quick on his feet, Michael deflected the lightning right out of the stadium.
"Right, he can shoot lightning." Michael said to himself.
"Ready for more, young dragon?" Seto called.
"Ding ding, bitch." Michael answered, taking off right after his opponent. Michael flew right past him, trying to provoke Seto into using lightning to attack him. He looked back just in time to see Seto channeling some lightning to shoot at him, and smiled when he was able to dodge the attack that Seto used with ease once more.
"Come on, can't you hit me?" Michael taunted.
"You are a lively one, Michael Harris, I will give you that." Seto smiled, gaining on his heels quickly. "Tell me. You can shoot lightning as well, why don't you?"
"It's dangerous." Michael answered. Michael was going to speak again, but quickly shut his mouth because Seto shot another bolt of lightning at him. Michael knew that this could not go on any longer, because he knew that Seto was either going to get lucky and hit him, or Seto was going to take his anger out on the crowd. With Miley and the others sitting in the crowds, that was something Michael was not going to risk.
"As much as I enjoy playing tag with you, this fight has to come to an end, my friend." Seto called. Seto stopped chasing him, and flew back towards the ring. Michael sighed, and floated down to confronted him. Michael watched as Seto began to send electricity through his entire body. Michael smiled, and knew that this was his opening.
Michael stomped his foot on the ring hard enough so that Seto stopped what he was doing, and fell to the ground, dead.
"I guess that you should have listened to me when I said that shooting lightning was dangerous." Michael said, walking away towards his teammates.
"Um, what the hell just happened?" Yusuke asked his teammates.
"Michael killed Seto." Hiei answered.
"Well, no shit, I meant how did he do it?" Yusuke asked again.
"While Seto was channeling the electricity through his body, Michael caused enough of a disturbance in the process that electricity went into his chest, and killed him." Kurama explained.
"That would do it, I guess." Yusuke answered.
As Michael made his way towards his teammates, Kiwi was relayed a message in her ear.
"Excuse me, but I receieved a message from the Tournament Committee. Due to Michael and Seto being out of the ring for more than the alotted time, the match has been declared a no contest and Michael has been disqualified from fighting in the rest of the round." Kiwi said in a frightened tone of voice. Michael looked at her as if he was going to lose it and kill her. The moment that he made a move towards her, she ran.
"What the hell?" Michael screamed.
"S-Sorry, but that is the ruling that the tournament committee passed down." Kiwi stuttered. Michael shot a glare up towards the committee box, and floated towards his teammates.
The crowd was cheering, due to the fact that Team Urameshi did not have any fighters left. Michael and Yusuke looked at each other, almost in a panic because they were about to lose. Then...
"Guys... I'm going." David said, practically dragging himself to his feet.
"Are you nuts? You can barely stand, let alone fight!" Michael told him.
"He's right, if you get in there, you are dead for sure." Yusuke stated in agreement.
"I don't care, but if I don't do this, we are going to lose due to some bullshit ruling. We are going to win this clean..." David stated.
"Like men." Michael finished.
"This is a really bad idea." Yusuke stated.
"Like we have a fucking option here, Yusuke." Michael snapped back. David ignored them, and began his painful trek towards the ring.
"Wish me luck." David said, taking what little strength he had left, David limped towards the ring, and climbed in, just as Koto dropped his cloak, and smiled at his opponent. Michael was seriously contemplating stopping this, but he knew that would not do any good. One, because David was as stubborn as an mule, and the match was already underway.
Alex, what I am about to do here is for you... David thought.
AN: Well, David, badly injured, mind you, is the last hope for Team Urameshi as he hopes to send their team to the finals of the Dark Tournament. But with his injuries, and the fact that Koto has not fought at all this round, what will the outcome be, and will Alex arrive in time? Wait and find out!
