The woman rose her hands, "W-Wait!" She said softly, but Jenso was already gone. She'd managed to restore his energy, but something seemed off. Perhaps she'd missed an injury? Who knew.

As Jenso stepped into the arena, Mikey also jumped forwards and got into a combat stance similar to Jenso's. "May the best dude come out on top!" He announced.

---

Mikey didn't wait for the announcer to say anything, and rushed towards Jenso at top speeds, clearing the distance in only a few seconds, and throwing a punch towards Jenso's face. The punch however, was a feint, and he was prepared to kick at Jenso after pulling his fist back, using his right foot and aiming for Jenso's ribs.

Jenso's eyes widened as he attempted to catch Mikey's fist with his right hand. Before he was able to do so however, Mikey already kicked at his ribs. He failed to pull his right arm back in time, and quickly side-stepped further to Mikey's left in order to avoid the man's foot. He aimed a punch with his left fist at the left side of Mikey's head. 'Shit..! He's fast like me! Well, judging from what seen and what I've been told, I was already pretty sure that he was able to use Ki..' He thought.

Mikey's foot scraped the side of Jenso's shirt, cutting the air. But he spun around with it and ducked low, under Jenso's punch. He spun 360 degrees, sending his foot careening all the way around his body, and towards Jenso's right side yet again.

Jenso managed to pull his right hand back and attempted to duck under Mikey's incoming foot, and aimed a low-sweeping kick at the man's left foot, that was still on the ground with his right foot.

Jenso's foot struck, but Mikey let his body flow with the kick, feeling a slight sting rush up his ankle. While flipped, he landed on his hands and flipped backwards, onto his feet, and got back into a combat stance. "Haha, just as I thought!" Mikey announced, shaking his head. "I can't believe it!"

Jenso frowned and got in a combat stance again. 'Wow...that didn't do anything? He's not just fast, but strong too..He wasn't lying when he said he was a Ki user.' Jenso thought, and gave Mikey a confused look. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Mikey leaned down and rubbed his leg. "You're stronger than me, haha.. Wow," Mikey said calmly, "Physically stronger, anyways. If I didn't move with your kick, that might have broken my leg."

Jenso smiled at Mikey. "I see..well, I didn't mean to break your leg but...I still gotta win the fight. Wanna surrender or do you want to keep going?" Jenso asked. He could try to rush Mikey, but he wanted to give him a chance to surrender first.

"Just because you're physically stronger, doesn't mean you're gonna win! I just have to get serious!" Mikey grunted. "Fire, right? That's your elemental affinity?" Mikey stepped back a little and rose his hand, summoning a globe of blue liquid that hovered elegantly in place.

"Mine's water!"

Jenso stared at the globe of water. 'Water user...This is going to be tricky..' He thought, smiling at Mikey. "Oh, interesting! Well, let's keep going then, man!" He shouted, dashing at Mikey. He feigned that the threw a punch at the man's stomach, waiting to see how he would respond while keeping a close eye on the globe.

Mikey immediately spun around Jenso's fist and tossed the water ball at his face gently, moving around him like a dancer, and using his momentum to kick towards the back of Jenso's knees with his left leg. The water ball was relatively harmless, lacking the sheer power and destruction of fire, but it was never intended to harm Jenso. It was merely a distraction.

Jenso moved his hand in front of his face in order to shield his eyes from the incoming water. Despite not seeing Mikey's upper body due to Jenso's own hand, he still saw his opponent's legs and noticed that he moved to his side. Since he was unable to see what his foe would be doing, he dashed forward instinctively to try to avoid being attacked from the side or back. He turned to face Mikey and dashed at him, aiming a kick at the man's stomach with his left foot.

Mikey weaved around Jenso foot and spun his body around again, building momentum to slam the base of his fist into Jenso's face, while coated in a thin layer of water.

Jenso pulled his foot back on the ground and tried to duck under Mikey's incoming fist. He heated up his body to an extremely high degree in hopes that some of the water around Mikey would evaporate if he were to touch it. He attempted to get a tight grip on the man's wrist with his right hand to pull him closer and use his own momentum against him. A surge of power rushed through Jenso as he followed up with a quick punch with his left hand, aimed at Mikey's left knee.

Mikey easily twisted away from Jenso's grip using the water as a natural lubricant. Although it did evapourate right afterwards, Mikey was able to back flip out of Jenso's range and land on his feet a few yards away. He stopped and aimed both his hands at Jenso, launching a stream of water towards him at high speeds. This time, it was meant to cause harm, as the jet of water was fast enough to knock Jenso off his feet.

Jenso dashed further to the left in order to avoid the incoming stream of water. He launched a few fireballs into the air, aimed so they would crash into Mikey from above as a distraction. A surge of power rushed through him as he moved to dash beside the stream at top speeds to Mikey's right side. He aimed a quick kick with his left foot at Mikey's right shoulder.

Mikey glanced up at the fireballs, but Jenso was upon him in an instant. Before his insanely quick strike could land though, Mikey's entire body emitted a thin layer of water that expanded rapidly into a massive bubble. Jenso's foot stopped against the water, and was pushed back, at which point, the two fireballs collided with his bubble and dissipated instantly. Mikey turned to Jenso and rose his foot slightly, which prompted a whip-like water stream to shoot up from the bottom of his bubble shield and lash towards Jenso, knocking him off his balance and across the arena. The movement Mikey made was tiny, but the whip was fast and strong. Mikey could manipulate the bubble's water with only the slightest movements. Perhaps he was weaker and slower than Jenso, but was his self-control vastly superior?

"Phew! I almost got knocked the heck out!" Mikey shouted, his voice slightly obstructed by the bubble, sounding as if he were underwater. "Well, I guess there's no hiding it now! Meet my ultimate technique Jenso!" Mikey took a fighting pose inside of his bubble, which was just barely big enough to surround him. The surface of the bubble rippled with bumps and little whips.

"The Battle Bubble!"

Mikey began hopping in place, tapping the ground with each of his feet and his smile widened. "Ready?" He said, not waiting a moment before he bounced high off the ground and into the air like a cannon ball. He jumped even higher than anyone Jenso had fought before, even Dacer while atop Tiger! From above, he thrusted his hand forward, and suddenly came to a pause, floating in place, before firing a flurry of small water bullets towards Jenso.

Jenso's eyes widened as Mikey began his attack. 'Man, what a guy!' Jenso thought, with a wide grin on his face. He began to dash left and right, in order to avoid the assault of incoming bullets and to make himself more difficult to hit. He kept his body heated up during this, hoping it would at the very least weaken the impact of the bullets. A surge of power rushed through him as he slammed the ground beneath him with his foot, in order to break a chunk of the floor. He reached into the crack and ripped it out, throwing it at Mikey.
