SailorStar9: Chapter 9 goes up and no review. You guys don't love me anymore. *Wails*
Disclaimers: I don't own Sailor Moon and Flame of Recca since if I did own them both, the Planetary Senshi will have equal footing as Sailor Moon and the Domon/Fuuko pairing would be canon. But you don't see that happening do you? However, I do own the pairing, I hope.
Chapter 10: Fierce Fighting Fuuko. Countless Injuries On Bare Skin!
In the ring...
"And now, let's begin Team Hokage versus Team Uruha Ma's third..." Nemi declared.
"Well everyone, is it alright to begin the next match?" Yoko took over.
In the stands...
"Sexy!" the crowd roared. "Let her do it!"
In the ring...
"Wait a sec! I'M the ref..." Nemi complained.
"I tagged you out, so I'm the referee now." Yoko chided.
"Damn right, you are!" the crowd roared. "I want the hottie to be ref!"
Nemi fumed and stormed off to the commenter's table.
At the commenter's table...
"Well then, let me start over." Nemi remarked, after letting off crying.
"Don't take over without my permission." Tatsuko swatted Nemi on the head, reclaiming the microphone.
"But she kicked me out of the ref position..." Nemi wailed.
"That doesn't change who's announcing!" Tatsuko retorted. "You go sit in a corner so you won't get in the way."
"So far, the Hokage leads with two wins." she declared as Nemi sulked off. "Their next opponent is the winner of all five of his previous matches. A powerful fighter who wields a 500kg morningstar with ease, Gashakura. His opponent, one of the two female members of the Hokage, appearing for the frist time since the first round, the Fuujin master, Kirisawa Fuuko!"
In the ring...
"Do you think your faint wind can save you from this morningstar?" Gashakura inquired.
"I'll show you I don't need power to defeat you." Fuuko replied.
In the dance hall...
"This is an unexpected turn..." one of Koran's guests remarked. "I never would have expected that team of high school students to make it this far..."
"Such spirit make me think they might reach the finals." his companion added.
"To think that such unexpected things could happen..." Koran laughed. "It makes this tournament so interesting."
Gashakura... Magensha... he thought. Don't allow them to get any further.
In the ring...
"Uruha Ma's Gashakura versus Hokage's Kirisawa Fuuko." Yoko declared. "Begin!"
"Here we go, little girl." Gashakura remarked, swinging his morningstar around.
Fuuko jumped to avoid getting hit as Gashakura's weapon crashed into the stands, forcing the audience to flee.
"Your display of wasted power is impressive." Fuuko remarked. Landing on the ring, she drew out her throwing knives as she ran. Using the momentum, she jumped just as Gashakura reclaimed his weapon with his chain, the morningstar heading towards Fuuko.
Landing on the ground, she ducked to avoid getting hit.
Gashakura then sent his weapon towards Fuuko, demolishing the ring in the process.
On the ring side...
"Fuuko!" Domon exclaimed.
In the ring...
Fuuko had avoided the attack as Yoko ducked to save herself.
"Oh no." Yoko wailed. "I shouldn't have taken over..."
Getting to her feet, Fuuko ran again. Jumping over the swinging morningstar, she continued to dash.
"The only thing Kirisawa Fuuko can do is dodge his morningstar." Tatsuko announced. "Things look dire for this young girl!"
On the ring side...
"The Hokage have defeated the Ku, Uruha Maboroshi, and Uruha Oto to get this far..." Kagerō noted. "All of their opponents have been very strong. But those two, Gashakura and Magensha... their power, dominance, determination, and sheer terror... everything about them far exceeds the previous opponents. This will be a difficult fight for Fuuko-san."
"Oh no..." Ganko whined.
"Can't eat anymore..." Recca sleep-talked.
"With Fuuko in so much trouble..." Ganko fumed, everybody else turning to the sleeping Recca.
"He can dream of eating at a time like this?" Domon growled.
"I don't care if the poison is doing it... no mercy!" he declared as he and Ganko jumped Recca.
"I'm sure this must hurt more than his previous fight..." Kagerō sighed as the two bashed Recca up.
"Ah... sibling love. A wonderful sound." Anhara joked as Mikagami snickered.
"C'mon! Wake up and cheer her on!" Kondo demanded. "Fuuko's in a big pinch!"
"Fuuko...?" Recca sat up.
"That's right." he noted. "After I passed out from Kashamaru's poison... the next fight started already?"
"She's in trouble the whole time." Ganko supplied.
"Don't worry." Recca assured. "Fuuko isn't in a pinch yet."
"But..." Ganko protested.
"What do you mean, Hanabishi?" Domon asked.
"Take a look at Fuuko's face." Recca grinned.
"She's smiling?" Kagerō blinked at Fuuko's wide grin.
"I see..." Anhara chuckled, knowing what the wind wielder was up to as the spikes on Gashakura's morningstar came off.
In the ring...
"Oh, Kirisawa Fuuko is smiling." Tatsuko announced. "Is is a smile of resignation, or could it possibly one of confidence?"
"What are you planning, Fuuko?" Gashakura asked. :I don't plan on going easy on you just because you're laughing and acting overconfident."
"I'm not over confident." Fuuko corrected. "I'm just happy."
"Happy?" Gashakura echoed.
"Yeah." Fuuko replied. "Since I entered this tournament, my only opponent was that cowardly asshole."
In the stands...
"WHAT?" Fujimaru exclaimed. "Who's she callin' a cowardly asshole?"
"Fuuko, I'll grab your breasts and..." he fumed.
On the ring side...
"Such trash can only think of...." Mikagami did not have chance to finish his sentence when Anhara pointed her index finger at the fuming Fujimaru, daftly freezing his mouth shut.
"What?" she smirked when Mikagami blinked at her. "He was getting to my nerves too."
In the ring...
"I'm actually happy o be able to fight an opponent as strong as you." Fuuko remarked.
"I see." Gashakura noted. "Easy to understand. It's waste that you're a woman. Honestly, I'm enjoying this as well. You're the only one who has been able to evade my morningstar for this long. However, we aren't really fighting, if all you do is dodge. What will you do now?"
"You're pretty stupid." Fuuko laughed. "Do you really think all I've done is dodge?"
"What?" Gashakura growled.
"Take a better look at that morningstar's iron-ball thingy." Fuuko suggested as Gashakura looked at his spikeless weapon.
"Oh my!" Tatsuko exclaimed. "All the spikes on the morningstar are gone! This will greatly diminish its power!"
On the ring side...
"Isn't that..." Domon gasped, noticing the solidified wind claws emerging from her Fuujin. "The Kaze no Tsume she used in the first round!"
"Fuuko-san acted like she was running." Kagerō realized. "But actually sliced each of its spikes, one by one."
"Great job, Fuuko!" Ganko beamed.
"You're the best!" Kondo cheered.
In the ring....
"Like I said, I've seen through all of your attack patterns." Fuuko remarked.
"The spikes may be gone." Gashakura noted as Fuuko jumped. "But if this morningstar connects to that skinny body of yours, then it's over!"
"I said I know all your moves!" Fuuko retorted, using her Kaze no Tsume to slice through the morningstar. "Fuujin, Kamaitachi!"
"Wha...?" Gashakura was stunned when his weapon broke into pieces.
"Just a gentle breeze?" Fuuko mocked.
"That wasn't meant to be funny." she retorted as Gashakura laughed.
"Kirisawa Fuuko." Gashakura begun. "D you know why I entered this tournament?"
"No clue." Fuuko replied. "This is the first time we've met."
"I'm not as ambitious as my brother and the prize holds no interest to me." Gashakura replied. "To fight stronger opponents... that's why I'm here. However, my previous victims were too weak. To tell you the truth, I've been quite disappointed. And finally, I've met someone that can fight equally with me."
"You're just as I thought you'd be." he noted Fuuko's grin. "With you, I think I can fight to my heart's content. I'll show you my real power!"
With that, he released the claws on his shoulders at Fuuko.
"My madōgu, Magagumo!" he introduced his madōgu.
Fuuko simply sidestepped the charing tentacles. Ducking beneath them, she fled, only to have Gashakura's madōgu follow her.
On the ring side...
"What is that?" Recca inquired.
"The madōgu, Magagumo..." Kagerō explained. "I've heard it's a high class weapon with the power of simultaneous offense and defense."
"You've heard?" Mikagami echoed.
"This is the first time I've seen it used." Kagerō told the ice wielder. "Only a powerful individual could master that weapon."
"So, you mean you don't know how powerful it is?" Domon inquired.
"Unfortunately, no." Kagerō replied.
"No way!" Ganko gasped.
In the ring...
"It looks as if Gashakura was wearing armor, but it was really a madōgu!" Tatsuko declared. "It looks like a spider with its legs spread, waiting to pounce."
Fuuko jumped as Gashakura's claws clashed into the ring.
On the ring side...
"What amazing power..." Mikagami growled.
In the ring...
Fuuko sidestepped as the claws emerged from the smoke.
On the ring side...
"And quick..." Mikagami added. "Just like a black widow."
"Fuuko can't get close to him." Domon concluded.
In the ring...
"Kirisawa Fuuko has been forced to escape outside of the ring!' Tatsuko declared after Fuuko jumped out of the ring.
"How about this?" Fuuko growled, firing her wind blades into the ring from the ring's perimeter.
"What?" Gashakura then used his claws to deflect the blades as Fuuko charged in, attacking Gashakura with both her charged up arms.
"Damn it." she cursed. "Didn't hurt huh?"
"You're really good for a woman." Gashakura noted.
"Thanks anyway." Fuuko replied as she took off again.
On the ring side...
"I know that the Magagumo has power, speed, and provides protection." Kagerō said. "However, if she keeps fighting it form the outside of its range, Fuuko-san has a chance."
In the ring...
"Kaze no Tsume!" Fuuko leapt onto a pillar and fired her attack as she dodged Gashakura's attack.
On the stands...
"Kill that monster Gashakura!" the crowd roared. "Great fight, guys! Beat the hell out of him, Fuuko!"
"Fuuko! Fuuko! Fuuko! Fuuko!" the crowd cheered. "Fuuko! Fuuko! Fuuko! Fuuko Fuuko"
On the ring side...
"Fuuko... Fan club?" Domon blinked as a flag was waved.
"When did that start?" Kondo was confused.
In the stands...
"Fuuko, I'll fondle your breasts if you win!" Fujimaru waved the flag, causing the Hokage to facefault.
On the ring side...
"Damn!"Anhara remarked. "Guess I didn't freeze him enough."
In the ring...
In the midst of cheers, Fuuko continued to fight, dodging Gashakura's attacks.
"She's gone?" Gashakura blinked when Fuuko seemingly disappeared.
Jumping back into the ring, Fuuko fired her wind claws at Gashakura who had withdrawn his claws. When the attack failed, Fuuko then met Gashakura head-on. After a stand-still, she used Gashakura as leverage, jumping back ans side-stepping Gashakura's next assault. With the claws closing in on her, Fuuko jumped again.
"This has been one of the best matches so far!" Tatsuko declared. "The battle between Gashakura's power and Kirisawa's speed has encompassed the entire arena. The match is dead even!"
In the dance hall...
"What are you doing, Gashakura?" one of Koran's guests barked. "I bet 20 million yen on the Uruha Ma!"
"This is starting to look like an upset." his companion remarked.
"If Gashakura loses, I'll go broke..." her companion sobbed.
"Oh, please." his partner soothed. "It isn't certain that yet that the Hokage will win this match."
"Make the preparations." Koran instructed.
"Yes sir." his companion replied.
In the stands...
"What is that?" Kukai inquired as the pillars on the arena's corners lit up.
In the ring...
Fuuko had leapt onto Gashakura's tentacles and was running on it, dodging another tentacle in the process. Jumping back, she landed outside the ring.
"Gotcha!" she hollered, jumping back into the ring.
"Shit..." Gashakura cursed.
"Too late!" Fuuko declared. "Kaze no Tsume!"
In the stands...
"No!" Kukai gaped, realizing what was happening.
In the ring...
His warning came too late as Fuuko was electrocuted by the electricity before rolling back into the ring.
"This is...?" Gashakura remarked at the fallen and smoking Fuuko.
At the commenter's table...
"What on earth is going on?" Nemi inquired.
"Gimme that!" Tatsuko snatched back the microphone.
"You thief..." Nemi muttered, inching off.
On the ring side...
"Laser beams?" Mikagami realized.
"Ref, what the hell is going on?" Recca hollered.
"Well..." Yoko started.
"Allow me to explain." Koran intervened. "These are the Ura Buto Satsujin semifinals. Up until today, the ring is comprised of stone. I found this to be a tad boring. Therefore, I decided to vary the style of the rings. I've decided that this match should be a laser net death match."
In the stands...
"So those four poles are the source pf the lasers." Kukai concluded.
"Scary..." Fujimaru shivered.
On the ring side...
"You'll burn if you touch it?" Mikagami noted. "How can he resort to something so cowardly?"
"Tokiya," Anhara reminded him. "This is Koran Mori we're talking about. He has no morals."
"This gives Fuuko-san a real disadvantage." Kagerō added. "She could escape from the Magagumo outside the ring, but... now he's trapped her in the Magagumo's range within the net."
"So Fuuko's long range attack can't be used anymore!" Domon concluded.
"And that son of a bitch knows it..." Recca growled.
"Cheater!" Ganko fumed.
"You're not going to let us win no matter what you have to do?" Kondo retorted.
"You bitch!" Recca snapped, pointing at Koran. "I'm not puttin' up with this crap! How can we fight properly under these conditions!"
"You do get the final say." Koran replied. "However, if you don't comply, she gets disqualified."
"What did you say?" Recca growled.
"Recca..." Fuuko chided as she stood back up. "Don't make me lose."
"Fuuko? How's your back feel?" Domon asked.
"Doesn't hurt one bit." Fuuko replied.
It can't be. Kagerō mused. But, she's acting...
"Bullshit!" Anhara snapped.
"Fuuko!" Ganko shouted.
In the ring...
"Hey, we're not finished yet..." Fuuko turned to Gashakura.
"Fuuko..." Gashakura muttered. "You..."
"Referee, start the match over." Koran ordered.
"Yes!" Yoko replied.
On the ring side...
"Damn it!" Recca hissed.
In the ring...
"I'm expecting a good fight." Koran remarked onscreen.
"Now, to begin the match again." Yoko added.
At the commentary table...
"And the action resumes." Tatsuko declared. "Just like that, this match becomes a laser net death match. How will each fighter fare under these conditions?"
In the ring...
"Let's go." Fuuko decided as she charged. "Kaze No Tsume!"
Gashakura extended his tentacles, deflecting the claws Fuuko fired at him shot by shot.
"What's wrong" Fuuko asked, landing back on the ground, panting. "Why aren't you attacking me?"
"Give up!" Gashakura advised. "You can't continue with that injury."
"You're kidding." Fuuko scoffed as she took off again. "I can still fight, and that's why I'm standing here. I don't expect anyone to go easy on me."
Gashakura snorted and let loose his tentacle, deflecting the wind claw Fuuko fired at him and knocking the wind wielder into the laser net.
On the ring side...
"FUUKO!" Domon and Recca exclaimed as Fuuko was electrocuted.
In the ring...
"Kirisawa Fuuko has hit the laser net once again." Tatsuko declared after Fuuko collapsed on the ground. "Will she stand up once more?"
On the ring side...
"I don't think she can possibly get up after this kind of impact." Mikagami noted.
"I never imagined this match would end like this..." Kagerō muttered.
"Fuuko!" Domon shouted.
"Hurry up and get rid of the damn lasers!" Recca growled as Yoko hurried to Fuuko;'s side.
In the ring...
"Kirisawa Fuuko can no longer continue to fight..." Yoko declared.
"Not yet..." Fuuko stopped her as she got back up. "I can still fight."
On the ring side...
"Fuuko..." Domon gasped.
"Fuuko!" Ganko exclaimed. "Please, stop! You've done enough!"
"Fuuko!" Recca tried to stop her from continuing.
"Stop it!" Domon shouted.
In the ring...
Such amazing spirit... Gashakura mused. After sustaining that kind of damage, her eyes are still ready to fight. Then, I'll give her everything I have as well.
On the ring side...
"Oh no!" Kagerō gasped, realizing Gashakura's intention. "He's going to finish her off!"
"If she hits the lasers again, Fuuko-san will be finished!" Mikagami added.
"Fuuko!" Recca hollered.
In the ring...
With a cry, Gashakura released his final attack.
