Hey everyone. Sorry for the slight delay but here's the next chapter

I must emphasis this again. Don't ask me when your match is coming. Please be patient. It will come and it will kick ass. Enjoy!

AFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAF

Jean lied in a pool of his own blood as Tara in his true monster form had slashed him a thousand times in a second. Jean showed little signs of movement

'It seems as though your boyfriend has nothing left anymore. I guess I'll be merciful and finish you quickly' Tara said ready to finish off the job with his sharp claws 'ROKKETO TSUME' Tara ran at impossible speeds straight at Jean who made no movement. It would've taken Tara less than second to reach Jean and end it. However…

SMASH

Tara found himself hitting solid steel. He made a huge dent into the steel but didn't break it and collapsed onto the floor. He saw that in front of him a huge steel house had appeared out of nowhere!

Inside the steel house Jean was being tended to by a worried Nozomi

'Hold on Jean!' Nozomi pleaded. She then concentrated and said 'Potolila Potolala Palun Palun Fa I want to make a towel and bandages appear!'

Out of nowhere a towel and bandages appeared and landed into her arms. She used the towel to clean off the blood and then quickly bandaged Jean helping to heal the wounds

'There you go. All better' Nozomi said happily. Jean got up groggily and groaned

'Thanks Nozomi, but you shouldn't have gotten involved' Jean told her while Nozomi huffed

'You'd be dead if I hadn't helped, so don't complain. Now I'll magic us a giant drill and we can escape from this maniac for good' Nozomi explained prepared to make one but Jean got up and stopped her

'No Non-chan. I'm not leaving until I take this guy out' Jean told her

'Are you nuts?! Don't put yourself in this kind of pain just to protect me. I don't want to lose you Jean!' Nozomi pleaded

'This isn't just about us Non-chan. You were bait for me because us Author Fighters are the only thing standing in these Darksides way. My friends are fighting them, I must do the same' Jean retorted determined

'Jean…' Nozomi whispered. She fell back however when suddenly Tara hand broke through the house metal and grabbed Jean arm

'Think you could hide from me you coward. Think again!' Tara then threw Jean through the steel and onto the hard ground Tara smiled deviously as Jean got up slowly to fight him

'My my you can still fight. I am honoured to have fought such a valiant opponent, but there's not a creature alive that can take a Zodiac in his true form on. ROKKETEO TSUME!!' Tara disappeared and in a second reappeared and slashed Jean in the adomen. Jean fell back at the force of the attack

'Ha ha what's the matter can't keep up human? You may have been able to with my mask on but now you stand no chance. Do you hear me boy YOU'RE HELPLESS!! TSUME RENDA!!'

Tara then stood above Jean and clawed Jean hundreds of times so hard the ground underneath cracked open. Jean could barely block the slashes and was indeed helpless to the attacks

'STOP IT LEAVE HIM ALONE!! Potolila Potolala Palun Palun Fa I want to make a sword appear!' Nozomi chanted and a sword appeared in front of her. She grabbed it and charged at Tara but in a quick second Tara claw was around her neck

'You little bitch. How dare you try to ruin my fun. You need to learn a lesson!' Tara tossed her into the air and slash her right in the adomen sending her flying back as blood leaked out

Jean, who was still conscious saw this and was frozen with fear

'N..Non ch…chan….'

Tara turned to Jean and smiled 'Now then Jean. Where were we? Ah yes I was about to kill you. ROKKETO TSUME' Tara charged at impossible speeds again ready to finally finish this however upon strike was grabbed by Jean

Jean body was surrounded by a strange kind of energy and it seemed to increase as he got angrier and angrier

'Wh…what the hell…is happening?' Tara squeled

'You, hurt, Nozomi….YOU'RE GONNA DIE!! PARABOLA SCHISM!!' Jean shouted as he punched Tara right in the gut. Tara went miles into the air as gallons of blood poured out his mouth

'What.…. is this some kind of hidden power inside him' Tara pondered. He stopped when he noticed that Jean had somehow ended up above Tara and had his hands clasped together

'YOU BASTARD!!' Jean shouted as he smashed Tara in the face with both hands rocketing him right to the ground and creating a gigantic crater at the bottom

Tara was speechless. In two punches alone Jean had practically crippled Tara, but he wasn't gonna give up yet. Tara leaned up and raised his first two fingers

'KURO CERO SHIMA!' Tara shouted as he fired a large Cero which diveided into hundreds of thinner Cero. Jean still in midair however with speed that matched Tara dodged each Cero like it was nothing

When Jean was close enough he grabbed Tara by the neck and pounced on him starting to strangle him. He could feel Tara neck crack slowly at the mere pressure he was putting on it

'You worm…I won't….die here…' Tara panted as he raised both claws and stabbed them right into Jeans chest

Jean let out a cry of pain but that didn't stop him 'I won't kill you, instead I do something worse. I'll make you see a future you don't want to happen' Jean panted as he grasped Tara head 'MIND BLINDER!!'

Tara stopped struggling under Jeans grasped and seemed fixated by what Jean was showing him

'I..I see….Shade….he's smiling smugly and…..he's standing next to another Darkside who's…..who has a British accent and is holding a heart in his hand….Shade is…holding the three Stone Tablets….and…and….no…M..master Drake…is dead….and the two are laughing at his corpses….NO! MASTER CAN'T DIE. STOP SHOWING ME THESE LIES!!!' Tara shrieked a final time before collapsing onto the ground. Jean realeased his grip and stood up. Knowing that he had won

Jean breathed in heavily. His body was hurt like it had never been hurt before, but he had won. That's all that mattered

'Guys….I've won my match. None of you screw up yours' Jean finished as he collapsed onto the ground. Exhausted

Author Fighters had won the first round…..
