A fast exchange of lightning quick strikes, something about Lee's technique made it feel like Bakuto had punched through some sort of force that resisted his punches.   It didnt help however as Bakuto was not going to be denied these strikes.  He used  great speed punches, even Bakuto had lost count how many shots he delivered, but when he sprang back from the attack.  

Bakuto slid and used what force he could to stop him from sliding out of bounds. His breath was hard and erratic as he just ran an hour long marathon in about a couple of seconds.  Whatever technique Lee had used that energy build up did do a bit of damage to Bakuto as he punched it repeatedly and now his arms were battered from what Bakuto could tell was his own speed and strength crushing against Lee's technique.

[color=lightblue]"You were one tough opponent.  Not sure what you did, but if we had to go through another exchange, I might be the one on the ground possibly if not worse off."[/color]  Bakuto says to his fallen oppoonet with the crowd still trying to understand what happened.  Bakuto  then gives his respectful bow to his opponent, [color=lightblue]"Thank you for the fight."[/color]  Then he turns to the referee then says, [color=lightblue]"This fight is over, my opponent is out cold. Please call the match now."[/color]


After waiting for the decision Bakuto would then leave the ring back.  He needed to get another senzu bean that or bandage his arms up from that last fight. Bakuto was content with how things are progressed so  far, he was not too long ago a semi finalist, how quickly this changed he became the first finalist to take part in the Martial Arts Tournament in this latest year.  Bakuto was content with how things have gone but wouldnt stop himself from his attempt to become the champion and with this whole tournament.

Bakuto approached the last two fighters that were left for the first time in the tournament.  He says, [color=lightblue]"Good luck on your match. I'll be looking forward to seeing this match up.  Make a good show out there, from what I have seen this semi final round should be a real good one."[/color]  A contrast from his serious nature he had back in the ring now more joyous and excitement to see what is to come.  These two Eclipse and Angel seemed quite capable to Bakuto and he had thought these to would put up a great  fight for the next and final semi final round of this tournament.[/indent]
