AN: Well, now the Dark Tournament is winding down, and there will be a big surprise after this fight is over with. Well, with that said, let's get this over with, okay?
Chapter Twenty One: The Finals Part IV: Michael vs Heihachi I
There was a calm air that blew through the locker room of the stadium. Michael and Yusuke were standing next to the mysterious fighter that they brought with them, and that could have meant any amount of things. Yusuke and Michael were laughing as if they were going out on the town after this, but they weren't. They were there for a few hours, so that could have meant any amout of things.
"So, Michael, you are going to fight Heihachi, right?" Yusuke asked.
"Yeah, for two reasons, one, I am the only one left that did not fight yet, and two, I owe that piece of shit a favor." Michael said.
"Wow, really?" Yusuke asked. "Why?"
"I just do. Just leave it at that." Michael said coldly.
Yusuke gave a glance over to Hiei and Kurama, and shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head, signaling just to leave it alone.
Koenma slowly entered the room, and looked at his team slightly.
"So, we are a few victories away from winning the Tournament, again." Koenma said. "How is everybody doing?"
"Fine, all things considering." Michael answered.
"Koenma, who is that?" Hiei asked, pointing at the hooded guy that was standing next to the now sitting Michael.
"That is something that is going to be revealed after Michael's Fight, okay?" Koenma asked.
"You did not answer my question." Hiei said.
"I was not trying to." Koenma said, irritably, getting a big time glare from Hiei.
Koenma ignored the hated glare that he got from Hiei, and looked at Michael.
"So, I take it that you are going to fight Heihachi next?" Koenma asked.
"Right. Why?" Michael asked.
"I just wanted to make sure that you are ready for what you are about to face. Are you sure that you can handle it?" Koenma asked.
"Yes, I can handle it. You just worry about the ones that came here with us." Michael said. Koenma nodded, and left the room.
"okay, care to tell us what that was all about?" Kurama asked Michael.
"Nothing." Michael said calmly. "I just had to do a favor for a friend."
"What are you talking about?" Hiei asked.
"Do not worry your tiny little head about it." Michael smiled. He took a seat on the window frame, and just stared at the sunny day, knowing that there was going to be a very violent collision that was going to be happening at the end of the day.
The day slowly crawled on, and that made almost everyone very antsy. Well, the only ones that were on the antsy side were Michael, Yusuke, and Michael's friends and family that came here to the tournament.
Michael was nervous not due to the fight, but he was nervous about...well, other things. Michael hated this. He hated this waiting, because there was going to be a big confrontation when the fight, or rather The Final Round, continued. He looked around, and saw his teammates sleeping. He quietly tip toed out of the room, and right into Miley and Melody.
"Okay, what is it?" Michael asked. He knew that these two wanted SOMETHING. What, he was not sure about.
"Are you going to do what we think you are going to do?" Melody asked.
"What does that mean?" Michael asked back.
"Michael, I know what you are capable of, but I want to be sure that you stay in one piece." Melody asked.
"I am fine. Heihachi is not going to be when I get done with him." Michael answered.
Miley stepped forward, and wrapped her arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly. Michael was caught off guard by this, but he was caught off guard more when she started to cry into his hair.
"Just...come back to me, alright?" Miley said.
"I will." Michael said, fighting back some tears that were stinging in his eyes. "I will."
It was well into the afternoon, and Team Urameshi was all but asleep in the waiting room. Just when someone was about to say something...
"Attention everyone. We have decided that the rest of the round will be fought at the adjoining stadium right next to this one. We are sorry for the inconvience." The announcement said over the intercom.
"Are you fucking serious." Michael said under his breath.
"Yeah, you couldn't have said that 5 hours ago?" Yusuke yelled as well.
"Come on, we better get moving. The fight is going to start soon." Kurama said.
Hiei nodded with a yawn, and followed the rest of his teammates out towards the next island.
Team Urameshi arrived at the new stadium, and soon saw that it basically was almost the same stadium that they were in for most of the tournament at first, but this time, there was team boxes for the sponsors of the team. Yusuke looked and saw Koenma, along with Michael's peanut gallery close behind them. For Team Izan, there was a bunch of shadowy figures that were there waiting on the tournament to continue.
"Man, talk about the tempo of a match quickly changing due to one simple action." Kurama whispered to Hiei.
"What, is the mighty Yoko Kurama getting scared due to a little fight time atmosphere?" Hiei jabbed at the fox.
"No, and do not go there again." Kurama said sternly.
"Shut up, they are about to start." Yusuke said, pointing at the ring.
Kiwi took her place, and began to speak. "Okay, after some difficulties from earlier today, we are now ready to continue with the dark tournament. Will the fighters from each side come forward?"
Izan motioned for Heihachi to step forward to the ring, and Michael stepped forwards as well. They were each at the center of the ring when Kiwi made the other announcement, signaling the beginning of the next match.
"Now, the fight between Heihachi of Team Izan, and Michael of Team Urameshi will now begin! Ready? Go!"
Heihachi stood there, just glaring at Michael. Michael had a slight glare on his fac, but it quickly changed to a smile.
"What are you smiling at?" Heihachi asked him.
"Boy, you don't know what you are getting yourself into, do you?" Michael asked.
"Why? What do you think is going to happen? We are unstoppable!" Heihachi asked him.
"Get bent. There is only two members of your team left, including you. Think, can Izan even beat me, you don't have a fucking chance, even if you can get through me." Michael laughed at Heihachi.
Heihachi glared, and shot a lightning bolt at Michael, who deflected it with his bandaged left hand, and destroyed part of the upper stadium.
"Temper, temper." Michael taunted.
"Don't let me get started, otherwise you will be roasted." Heihachi answered.
"Are you gonna bark little doggie, or are you gonna bite?" Michael asked. Heihachi got really pissed off, and took off after Michael, shooting lightning bolts as Michael took off into the air.
"Now it is a fight! Come on, get at me bro!" Michael taunted.
"You are finished, dragon!" Heihachi said. Then he began to do something that was completely unexpeced to everyone including Michael.
Heihachi turned his attention to Team Urameshi, and more importantly, Miley...
AN: Well, this fight was going to be two parts, no matter how you cut it. With the first Part of the fight finished, the next part is going to be the conclusion, and that is where the masked fighter will reveal himself. It is going to be a surprise, so be sure to check it out!
