Gin
World Martial Arts Tournament

Gin rolled his eyes when he heard Akita's talk about minding his own business, as usual people always seem to get upset when someone tries to end a fight. Oh well, so far everyone in this tournament seemed like a hard case to Gin and it looked like he would have to lighten it up a bit. He then turned his attention to Ally as she introduced herself and he smiled friendly.

"Hello, my name is Gin or you can call me your friendly neighbor Wind Chaser. I am very eager to test my might against every competitor here and I will make it look good" he said with his hands on his hips stoically as his black cape blew out with a breeze. After his introduction, Gin then got on his hands and began to do handstand push ups with easy.

"Aaaaah yeah! Gotta get my adrenaline pumping for my fight!" he shouted as he proceeded to do dozens of handstand pushups.

[rhema13]

"Way to go! But-...I didn't know you could do that. Did you use your full strength?" Kiro curiously questioned Akita, he was expecting her to win, but not so easily! Maybe she was a lot stronger than he thought. He'd have to show her and Ally he was just as powerful when his fight came along. A big grin formed on his face, as he just envisioned what his fight would be like. A single punch! No, a kick! A single kick, and his enemy would be sent flying through the air!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I was hoping there would be more to those guys than what Master Shen told us." Eno smirked, as he watched Akita's match from afar. "I can't wait to see just how close their true power measures up to us." He admitted, especially the eldest of the three, she seemed to lead them, leading Eno to believe she was the strongest. He'd have to pay close attention in her matches.

"Will fighters number 77 and 78 please come to the stage." The referee called for the two fighters, as he looked up from his clipboard to scan the area for any two people reacting to the called numbers.

"I'll be back." Eno confidently informed his fellow student, as if there was little to no chance he'd lose the match, no matter his opponent. The young man casually walked to the stage, looking quite calm for someone's first tournament fight. As he climbed onto the ring, he looked over his shoulder to catch a glance at his opponent, who had been walking just behind him.

It was a middle-aged man in a blue gi, with salt and pepper hair. "You can do this, Jonathan." The fighter mumbled to himself in an attempt of calming his nerves. He tightened his tied belt, as he got closer and closer to the ring, sweat pouring off him like a pig. "You've trained for almost a decade for this! Everyone believes in you!" He encouraged himself, probably seeming pretty peculiar to anyone who may have glanced over in his direction. He was talking to himself, after all. Jonathan climbed onto the ring, as he stood directly across from fighter-number-78, Eno, who still looked just as calm as ever, even as he stared at his opponent.

"Fighters ready!?" The referee asked, as he stood in the middle of the two, he had to make sure neither of them were going to try anything funny before the bell went off.

Jonathan struck a mean offensive stance, as he prepared for battle. Eno, however, stood completely still, leaving himself completely open (seemingly) for any sort of attack. It almost reminded Jonathan of a breathing punching bag. 'Poor kid must be an amateur!' Jonathan assumed, as he settled that he'd try to hold back just a bit of his power for the young boy's sake.

"Begin!" The referee yelled, just as the bell sounded, quickly retreating to the corner for safety.

Jonathan charged at the young boy, as every serious martial artist knew that the first attack was the most important one. However, the man was just a bit too slow.

Eno moved at an amazing speed, to an untrained eye, it would've appeared as if Eno had teleported behind Jonathan. That's what the referee had assumed at least, until...

Jonathan suddenly collapsed on the ground, as he yelled out in pain. "My legs!" He screamed, as he winced on the ground. The man was still determined to continue the fight, however, as he began to push himself back up with both of his hands.

"One!" The referee began the count down, as he held out his fingers in front of Jonathan's face to make him aware of the situation.

"I-I can still fight!" Jonathan tried to convince the referee, only about an inch or two off the ground at this point. Sweat poured down the man's face, as it dripped on the floor below him. He tried to focus on the puddle that was now forming, just to give his mind something else to think about so he could ignore the pain in his legs.

"He won't be getting up. He can't anymore." Eno informed the referee, as he turned his head slightly to get a glance at the man on the ground.

"Tw-! Huh? What do you mean?" The referee paused from counting, as he looked up to meet Eno's cold eyes.

"I shattered both of his legs at the kneecap." Eno informed the referee quite calmly, the faintest smile present on his face.

Jonathan yelled out in pain, just as he tried to apply pressure on his knees in an attempt to sit up. The man immediately fell back down into the same position he was in right after Eno's attack. No matter what he did, no matter how much willpower he still had left, Jonathan wouldn't be able to stand up to be declared conscious.

"Wha-What?! You did what!?" The referee nervously exclaimed.

"That's not against the rules, right? And if he can't stand up, then I win. You can count for however long you want, really. I assure you he won't be standing any time soon.

The referee nodded, his face expressed that he may have even been scared of Eno. "Three!..."

"Four!" He continued. The referee probably went slow on purpose, almost rooting for Jonathan to win, but even with his slowed time, the middle-aged man never stood up, despite trying every step of the way.

Without giving an apology, or even saying a word to his opponent, Eno stepped down from the ring, and walked back over to where he originally stood, as if nothing had happened. He could have easily defeated Jonathan a number of ways with minimal pain towards him, but Eno preferred to watch the man suffer instead. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Jonathan was fully conscious, and despite having the will to continue, he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried.

[1Hawkeyes]

Akita went under the ropes and found her fellow pupil. "I can't believe it!" she said excitedly, "My first win!" She was greeted with both praise from Ally and Kiro and felt overwhelmed with support. "I wish Master Roshi could see," she murmured. Then Akita answered Kiro's question, "Well, he's a lot slower than you two, so I didn't want to go all out. And his punches didn't feel as strong, even though you guys hold back. I figured the best thing to do was to hold back some. He went down with two kicks and a punch! You two would've won just as easily, I can't take all of the praise."

"Don't be so modest," Ally laughed, "You did amazing. Maybe you shouldn't hold back in the next fight, just in case."

"Sounds good!" Akita replied and saw Gin doing pushups. She shook her head and didn't understand why he was doing this, but didn't ask him directly. Then she watched Eno's fight. The Crane Student showed no mercy against his opponent and it definitely was brutal. She wondered if she would fight the teen later on.

Ally watched Gin do pushups and chuckled to herself. Memories of Roshi making her do insane exercises with the turtle shells nearly made her laugh out loud. She thought about all of the years the man trained her and all of the techniques and ways of fighting she learned from him. It was incredible to think about all of the progress, but she wondered how long she would continue training with him. "You know," she advised Gin, "if you wear any type of weighted gear, or even try pushups with one hand, you'll get much better results." She understood his main purpose right now was to get pumped up, but a little bit of friendly advice couldn't hurt, could it?

"Will fighters number 139 and 140 please come to the stage?" the announcer announced.

"It's my time," Ally said, clenching and unclenching her fists in anticipation.

"You got this!" Akita cheered as she watched her friend go into the ring.

Ally looked her opponent up and down. She wore a black Gi with a green snake wrapped around the arms. The two women bowed to each other in respect and then the bell rung and the fight started. By the style of the Gi, she figured the woman was more of a grappling fighter than a striking fighter. This meant Ally would have to stay out of range at all times. To test the waters, she sent out a snap kick to the woman at a very quick, but not her quickest, speed. She had to stay around three feet away from the woman to create a comfortable distance and to allow her to extend her legs more for kicks. Ally saw the woman lunge for her legs. In a somewhat risky move, Ally moved forward towards the woman and brought her knee up, striking the woman in the jaw. Strike through the target she thought to herself just like you were taught. The woman wasn't able to grip onto Ally's legs, so Ally moved backwards and allowed Fighter 140 to recover. She wanted to have a fair fight since she was sure she was stronger than her opponent. Ally threw another snap kick at the woman at a good strength. It caught the woman in the stomach, but the woman caught her leg. Ally remembered exactly how to get out and counter this hold. She twisted her body, pulling her right leg inwards towards her body and quickly pivoted on her foot. The woman's grip was lost and Ally used all of the momentum, now letting her right leg swing out and slam against the woman's head. Fighter 140 put her arms up to block the kick, but she was sent off of her feet, flying into the ropes. Miraculously, at the count of nine, the woman was up, but apparently dazed. You've got to be kidding me Ally thought. She didn't want to hurt the woman too bad, but didn't want to go to the judges score either. She rushed to the woman, faked a jab then quickly hit her head with a right hook, crushed her side with a left hook, and smashed an uppercut into the woman's chin. The woman dropped, out cold before she even hit the floor.

Ally didn't wait to be announced winner and left the ring, but didn't return to Kiro and Akita. Something felt wrong to her about competitively fighting people much below her own skill level and strength. In her book, this was no win. She didn't have to use much of her strength, speed, or even skills to win the fight. It was an unfair fight from the start, especially since the woman grappled. "I'll have to get her a fruit basket or a card or something..." Ally murmured to herself, trying to remember how much Zeni she had on her.

[Shazbot21]

Shin began to walk away from Eve when he lost her attention. "Did I come off rude?" Shin asked himself. and then pulled out his number 158 our of his pocket. "Fighters 158 and 146 please come to ring D," A Referee yelled to get there attentions. Shin began running to Ring D in excitement as he jumped on the ring he saw his opponent some bald looking dude Shin could help but giggle. Shin began hearing Fighters around Rind D begin to Gossip.

"Does that kid know who his opponent is that Saitama the man known to finish off his any man who gets in his way with one punch," A fighter said.

"Yeah that the same guy who made it to the finals 2 times in a row but he didn't win because they said when he punched so hard taht he knocked his own self off the arena!" Anotehr figher replied clenching his fist in excitement.

"Yeah that kid is dead," Another fighter said bumping into the conversation.

Saitama looked at his opponent and made this face . Is this a joke. saitama thought to himself.

(sorry couldn't finish laptop is about to die)

[Shazbot21]

"Either these my competitors are getting younger or i'm just getting older," Saitama joked and a few people laughed.

"That wasn't that funny," Shin said to himself.

"Are you fighter's ready!" The Referee yelled.

Shin gives a nod and gets a very serious look on. He then gets into a fighting stance(I imagine kid goku's first fight stance).

"Yeah, Yeah I'm ready I'll try not to hurt that much kid," Saitama said with a wave of his hand

"Begin!" The Referee yelled.

Saitama threw a punch at Shin, but Shin deflected the punch and jumped over Saitama stepping on his back making making Saitama fall over he Shin moved so fast everyone just though that Saitama tripped.

"What just happened?" one fighter asked observing the fight.

Saitama got up and brushed himself off. "Did i trip?" Saitama asked in confusion.

"I might be 14 but I'm stronger than I look this tournament to treat me as your equal!" Shaz yelled at Saitama.

"Oh yeah," Saitama said and his face quickly be came very serious . He began to throw a couple of punches. Shin dodged all the punches with ease Shin threw a jab into his stomach which made Saitama back off holding onto his his gut. "I guess i don't have a choice but to use my Serious Punch!"Saitama yelled pointing at Shin trying to intimidate him.

"The serious punch this early!" Some fighters yelled. "That is going to die!" Another one yelled.

Saitama put his hand over his fist as if he was charging it up. "I've only use this punch when i serious kid I'm sorry I have to use it on you," Saitama said to the boy, "Serious.......PUNCH!!!" Saitama yelled as his fist began to glow and he charged at the boy everything seemed in slow motion. as the fist was an inch from Shin's face he stepped to the side. "Nooooooo waaaaaayyyyy!" Saitama yelled as things still seemed to be every slow. While Saitama was unbalanced Shin whined up one punch to his face making him fall out of the ring.

" win by ring out, fighter 158 advances!" the referee yelled.

"He lost," A fighter said.

"I don't want to to mess with that kid," another one said.

"I thought he was going give me more of a fight," Shin sighed, "But i get to advance," Shin said with a smiled and jumped of the ring.

[NacNak]

Majin Eve

Eve watched as some of the fights proceeded with a smile, though she'd be lying is she said she was impressed. It seemed like most of the people here were slow, to slow to keep up with her, she knew how fast she was and she'd be running circles around these people. Though a few of them looked quite strong, but she hazard a guess that if she was faster than them, she'd likely be stronger than them as well. Slowly her smiled turned into an unsure frown as she tried to think of a way to proceed.

'I guess I might have to hold back... I don't want to seriously hurt someone if they're weak...'

She thought to herself as she observed the fight between 83 and 84, which quite frankly, surprised her and gave her a little hope.

"number 47 and number 46, you're up"

A referee called out into the gathered fighters, Eve perked up slightly as she made her way to the referee who had called out to her and someone else. As she neared the ring she jumped up and front flipped once before landing in the ring, she smiled as she looked for the other who was to enter the ring with her. The referee raised a brow, he remembered the oddly colored girl having picked the number forty-seven, so where was number 46?

"number 46 please come to the ring, you're up"

The referee called out once again, looking around the fighters in the area.

"My Deepest Apologies"

A deep baritone voice called out from the crowd, heads in that general area turned to face whom had spoken, eyes widened as people began to make way for number 46. Majin Eve's eyes widened slightly at the sight approaching the ring, a large hand grabbed the ropes before stepping into the ring, the man was nearly seven feet tall and was only wearing dark blue pants, he completely covered in bulked muscle that nearly looked like chiseled stone, the light from the ceiling reflected off his caucasian skin and Eve could have sworn she seen sparkles dancing around him. He was nearly bald save for a small swirl of brown hair the came down above the center of his forehead, accompanying that was the mans thick mustache that curled upward at the tips and seemed to hide his lips, he also apparently had no eyebrows over his dark green eyes. Eve stared at the man before she looked to the referee with a raised brow.

"I Would Have Come When First Called But I Missed What You Said, But Now That I'm Here The Fight Can Get Underway!"

The man exclaimed before posing to flex his muscles which made Eve chuckle for the strange gesture. The man had got into place and nodded towards the referee who cleared his throat as he walked to stand between the two.

"fighters ready?"

Number 46 nodded in confirmation.

"yes!"

Eve confirmed with a smile as she got ready to fight, spreading her legs apart at shoulder length, left leg in front of her right, her left hand lightly held out in front of her with her hand open, her right arm bent as she held it back, her right hand leveled with her chest. The referee nodded before he stepped back from the ring.

"Begin!"

The bell rang out as the match began, Eve stood still, a smile on her lips as a concentrated look took over while she locked her sight on her Opponent. Number 46 observed Eve as he got into a boxing stance, his hands held out in front of him as a guard.

"Perhaps A Short Introduction Is In Order"

The man said as he began to circle around the ring, Eve following his example.

"I Am Arnold Lenard Strong-Arm"

"my name's Majin Eve"

"Well Majin Eve, I'll Have You Know The Strong-Arm Family Is Well Known For Our Rock Hard Fighting Style, It's Been Passed Down The Strong-Arm Family For Generations!"

Arnold Boasted as he stopped circling at stare down at Eve.

"Our Family Has Been In Professional Fighting For Years, And We've All Been Taught About The Various Fighting Styles And Stances Around The World, And Your Stance Isn't One I've Seen Before, It's Of Your Own Make Is It Not?"

"uh-huh"

"I See, I Can Tell By That Look In Your Eyes That You've Got A Lot Of Fighting Spirit, But Your Stance Says You Lack Actual Experience In Fighting"

Eve narrowed her eyes slightly as she took a small step forward.

"though I may lack experience, don't underestimate me, I'm a lot tougher than I look"

She said with a faint smirk, Arnold furrowed his brow as he smiled.

"Very Well Then, It Is Settled, Prepare Yourself For I Wont Hold Back!"

Fight!

Arnolds muscles bulged slightly as he ran towards Eve, She replied in kind as she moved forward as fast as he did, Arnold reeled back his right arm as he wound up a punch aimed towards her, when he let it fly Eve smiled as she evaded to the right at what seemed to be the last possible second. Arnolds eyes widened in surprise as his punch missed but quickly recovered as he turned to face Eve who let out a small chuckle, Arnold's brow furrowed as he tightened his clenched fists.

'How Is That Possible, I Swung As Fast As I Could Without Hurting Her Too Badly, Yet She Evaded It Like It Was Nothing...'

Arnold charged again as he readied to let loose a large combo of punches, but to his surprise Eve jumped into the air while flipping before landing on the other side of the ring.

"over here!"

Eve called out in a playful tone that seemed to sound taunting. Arnold grit his teeth as he exhaled from his nose.

'Alright, Looks Like I Don't Have Much Choice, I'm Going To Go All Out...'

Arnold growled quietly as the veins in his arms became more defined, his muscles tensed up and it looked like steam was coming off his body.

"I Think It's Time I Stop Playing Around..."

Majin Eve tilted her head slightly in confusion, she thought he was trying as hard as he could.

"eh?..."

"Now I'm Serious!"

Eve's eyes widened as Arnold sped across the ring to her about three times faster than he was before, she tried to dodge but was stopped when Arnold's fist found it's way into Eve's gut, she gasp from the air vacating her lungs as a look of surprise found it's way to her face. The force of his punch had lifted her off the ground and had her drifting towards the edge of the ring as Arnolds fist parted with her torso. Arnold grinned thinking he had just won, and was more than surprised to see Eve grab the arm he just punched her with. Eve pulled herself towards Arnold and brought her knees to her chest before firing her feet into Arnold's gut, her feet dug into his rock hard abs before Arnold was sent sliding across the ring, coming to a stop a few feet from the edge. Eve smiled at Arnold as she got ready to go at it again, Arnold was getting his breath back after having it kicked out of him, a large bruise quickly forming where she kicked him.

'Her Strength Is Incredible, Where Does She Hide The Muscle That Powers It?'

Strong-Arm thought before raised his hands up again in a defensive position. This time Eve was first to move, she charged towards Arnold head on, she made to reel back her right arm, but when it looked like she was going to throw a punch she instead swung her right leg out and sent it towards Arnolds torso, the sudden change in attack had caught Arnold by surprise as he had prepared to block a punch, thusly Eve's kick slammed home and impacted his side, letting out a worrying crack.

"Gah!"

Arnold let out a short cry of pain which made Eve falter slightly, but to Arnold's credit he didn't let it stop him, he instead grabbed hold of Eve's leg with his left arm as he raised his right, Eve's eye's widened before she raised her arm in a cross block. Arnold let loose a barrage of strong punches, most of which impacted Eve's arms, the rest either hitting or clipping her exposed shoulders and torso. Before Eve could retaliate Strong-Arm grabbed hold of Eve's right leg with his free hand before he gave it a swift pull, making Eve lose her balance as he began to spin her around in the air.

"whoa!-whoa!-whoa!-whoa!"

"You're Finished!"

Strong-Arm called out as he prepared to let go and send Eve flying out of the ring, but she wasn't going to let that happen. Eve grit her teeth before she twisted her body, letting her get momentum in her left leg before she kicked Strong-Arm's head, the attack staggered him and sent him to the ring floor while Eve was sent tumbling towards the end of the ring, just before she got to the edge she clawed at the ring and stopped herself from going over, she quickly rolled away from the edge before standing up. Strong-Arm had slowly gotten to his feet, his breathing laboured as he stared at Eve, a small trail of blood going down his head were Eve had kicked him.

"I Must Say, You Are By Far The Strongest Person I've Ever Faced... But It Seems Were Running Out Of Time... Why Don't We Finish This With Style"

Eve Smiled and nodded towards Strong-Arm as she got ready to charge at him but then raised a curious brow, Strong-Arm had closed his eyes and seemed to be concentrating as he pulled back his right hand, clenching it tightly.

"what's.... he doing?..."

Majin Eve though out loud, Then Arnold opened his eye with a dead serious expression.

"What I'm About To Show You Is A Technique That's Been Passed Down The Strong-Arm Family For Generations, You Should Feel Honored To Witness It's Power"

Eve then noticed something, Arnold's fist had begun to glow, like it was surrounded by energy, seeing this only made Eve grin.

"Boulder Breaker!"

Arnold charged forward and Eve replied in kind, As the met in the Middle Arnold threw his punch as Eve threw her own, They both passed each other and stopped before they stood still, the energy around Arnold hand still fizzling. Then the energy around Strong-Arm's hand dissipated before he fell to his knees, before falling face down onto the ring. Eve turned around and scratched the back of her head with a nervous smile.

"o-oops, I guess I hit him harder than I thought..."

Eve said as the referee counted down, Arnold was out and Eve had won, she smiled as she jumped down from the ring and watched and Arnold was loaded onto a stretcher before being brought out of the building.

"oh man... I hope he's okay... I didn't mean to hit him so hard, I just got a little too excited..."

She said to herself as she made her way towards one of the four walls of the building to rest on until she was called upon again. Though Eve did take a couple of hits, it seemed as if she took little to no damage, she had her healing abilities to help her with that.

'well.... I guess it was a little fun... I hope there are stronger people than him here... or this could get boring...'

Majin Eve thought to herself as she watched the fights progress.

[Weird Tales]

Gin
World Martial Arts Tournament

After at least a hundred hand stand pushups, Gin front flipped back onto to his feet and gave a grin. He then turned back to Ally when she gave him her advise about weighted clothes.

"Thanks for the tip, but I train with increased gravity at the place I work out at, I get my body developed real good there. Since it is rare for people to train with increased gravity, they don't let me crank it up until they think I'm ready and being a hero makes it harder for me to focus on my training when there's so many disasters to take care of, but I'm still learning" he said to her with a smile.

His smile then faded when he watched the fight between Eno and Jonathan. The fight was over and Gin had expected Eno to win since the boy showed great power, but how he won angered Gin. It was clear that Eno was the superior fighter and yet he mercilessly crippled his opponent for no reason other than to be brutal. This made Gin clench his fist in anger and a gust of wind seemed to blow about him. He was going to possibly fight this kid eventually and if he did then Gin would be sure to give this sadist a lesson in honorable fighting.

His mood brightened when he watched Ally's fight and when she won, he clapped loudly to support her. She was a nice woman and seemed like she could give him a run for his money in a fight. Gin then saw her walk away before the ref announced her win and he guessed that she felt bad about how she won. The woman seemed very humble to Gin, humility is good trait to have. He then turned his attention to the fight between Shin and the superhero looking fighter. It was amusing and entertaining, but Gin thought the caped man was not as strong as the alien superhero from a dead planet. Next was the fight between the pink girl and a big muscle man. To the untrained, it looked like the muscle man would tear the pink girl to pieces, but muscles weren't everything and the pink girl won her match.

"Next match, number 107 versus number 114!" the referee called out and Gin got excited. He quickly hopped into the ring doing a roll as he landed on ground in an acrobatic manner. He then smoothly got to his feet and looked at his opponent. It was a girl who looked like she was nineteen with bright blue hair and had a tomboy look about her. Her face was scowling and she looked at him with contempt.

"It is a pleasure to fight you Miss, I hope we can have fun with this match" he said to her as he approached and held out his hand for her to shake. She then knocked it away and spat at him.

"Save your niceness for the do nothing b*****s you dork. You sound just as bad as you lame costume" he she growled out and Gin looked at her annoyed by her sudden hostility, he was just trying to be a good sportsman. No matter he was going to win this fight easily, but that didn't mean he could have fun doing it.

"Ready, begin!" the ref shouted and Gin pressed a button on his suit. Music then blasted out of the speakers on his costume and Gin gotten into his dance routine.

Dance Music

"Let's dance princess" he said as he did cool spin and pose. The tomboy glared daggers at him and snarled.

"I'm going to tear you apart!" she screamed and charged at him like a psycho. Before she could land a punch on him, Gin did a fast moonwalk and dodge the attack with ease. His opponent chased after him and tried to land a roundhouse kick on him, but Gin did a lightning quick spin to the left and caused her to miss him. He smiled mischievously as he watched her frustration grow and he got close to her before giving her a light punch causing her to double over in pain. It was a light punch, but since Gin was far stronger, his light punches hurt.

"Curse you! I won't lose!" she shouted at him and tried to attack him with a series of savage attacks. Gin just smoothly dodge all of her attacks with cool dance moves in sync with the song blasting from his suit and this made his opponent more angry. He found her anger amusing and Gin thought that this was the perfect first fight, easy and full of music and awesome dancing.

"You should lighten up, this is so much" he said laughing and the girl just kept coming at him, wearing herself out. When she paused from her attack out of exhaustion, Gin knew that it was time to finish the fight and he calmly walked up to her. Gin shoved out his hand and sent the girl flying out of the ring. She was sprawled out on the ground, exhausted and dazed from his shove, but not badly injured.

"Sorry cupcake, but I win" he said as his song came to an end and he walked over to the referee.

"Winner of this battle, number 107!" the ref shouted and Gin gave a bow before he walked out of the ring. He felt proud himself and hoped that he left a good impression with the competition.

[rhema13]

(LATTTERRR)

Kiro started doing some warm-up stretches on the platform, as he tried to avoid eye contact with the opponent across from him. This was his first actual fight, and he was pretty nervous that he was going to find out that he actually wasn't as strong as his two comrades. The boy tried to shake the thought away, but he just couldn't help it! The both of them seemed so strong, and he wondered where he was on the scale.

The referee awkwardly coughed. "Are you ready yet, sir?" He asked for the fifth time, Kiro had been doing stretches for ten minutes straight, the referee was positive he had completely loosened up every muscle imaginable.

His blonde opponent rolled her eyes, her arms crossed. She almost felt bad, the kid seemed pretty nervous. She wouldn't let this fool her, though, she saw his friends fight. This was all apart of their fighting style to have their opponent underestimating them. Did he think she was stupid!? She started to angrily grind her teeth, as she clenched her fists. "Hurry up already! quit stalling!" She yelled at him, as it echoed through the entire room.

"Oh!" Kiro felt embarrassed now, as he quickly stood up straight. "Y-Yes! I'm ready now!" He may have talked a big talk, but this was pretty scary for him. He had fought Akita and Ally before, but these were strangers! He had no idea what they'd have in store! And the fact that Master Roshi never actually taught them any real fighting techniques didn't really help his confidence all that much. He put both his arms up in front of him, resembling a turtle, as he tried to keep his arms up high to block.

"Begin!" The referee shouted, as the bell rang. The elderly man slowly inched to the outskirts of the ring so he could observe the battle.

Unlike some of the skilled fighters before him, Kiro immediately charged at his opponent, his right fist outstretched in front of him. "AHHHHH!" He screamed, his eyes closed tightly, with his head held low. Kiro knew he made impact, but he figured it hadn't hurt her all that much, so he kept his eyes closed, and waited for the punches that were sure to come.

"Win by ring-out! Fighter number 12 continues on to the next round!" Kiro heard the referee announce.

"Wait...What!?" Kiro said aloud, as he opened a single a eye, slowly lifting his head to see what had actually happened.

Fighter number 11, his opponent, had flown right through the wall! She had indeed blocked the predictable attack, but it was so powerful, it pushed right through to knock her completely out of bounds.

"I-I won?" Kiro tried to confirm, but after seeing the cheerful smiles on his friends' face, he knew it was exactly what it looked like. "Hmph." Kiro smirked, pretending as if he knew the entire time. "I only threw her out of the building? Is that all?" He laughed, as he began to quite confidently walk down from the stage. He held his hand out high to try and get a high five from both Ally and Akita.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I'm going to skip a little ahead, since everyone's gotten a chance to roleplay a bit here. You guys can still post your fights if you want, but you know.)

And so our heroes continued to plow through the competition with ease, winning one fight after another. Kiro become much more confident with each and every fight, finally realizing just how powerful he actually was! He hadn't even used any of his secret techniques yet! It was now time for one of the last deciding matches, plenty of fighters had gathered around the ring, as both of these fighters had been taking out the competition one after another.

"Will fighters number 126 and 139 please come to the ring?" The referee called for them both of the fighters, as he stood in the center of the ring.

"I'm right here." Master Rosh-, Jackie Chun calmly informed, as he climbed up onto the ring.

"Keep in mind that this is the last fight in the first section of block D. The winner of this fight will move on to be one of the the eight finalists for the tournament." The referee reminded them of the stakes.

Jackie Chun sighed, as he bowed his head, he almost didn't want to go through with this. Ally had been training so long for this, but it was the only way to keep her training just as hard. He got in his classic drunken monkey fighting style, a stern look on his face. He knew this would have to be a serious match, Ally's level was too close to his for him to be messing around like usual.

[1Hawkeyes]

Akita didn't see where Ally had walked off of the stage, but was excited that her friend won. When Kiro fought, Akita face palmed herself as he rocketed himself into his first opponent. If he had gone any slower, she could've rolled away and he would've ran out of the ring! She understood his fear, though, he was younger than her, even if he was stronger. Akita went through the rest of her fights, not really having too many difficulties. When she fought her last fight against a rather impressive fighter, Akita realized she made it into the actual tournament, she jumped off the stage and landed right in front of Kiro and Ally.

"Guys, guys, I made it! I'm in!" Akita shouted, doing a bit of a twirl. She hugged both Kiro and Ally tightly, unable to believe that she was in the World Martial Arts Tournament.

~~~~~~

Ally returned to Kiro and Akita before Gin's fight started. She appreciated their praise and accepted it, but that didn't deflect her feelings about the match. Then Gin's fight began. She chuckled when he played the music and was even more amused when he danced to dodge the woman. If she fought a dancer and lost, she would be pretty ticked off. Then Gin beat her and Ally cheered for the peculiar teen. When Kiro's fight finally came around, she told him, "Don't worry, you'll do great." She didn't think he was that nervous, but a bit of encouragement couldn't hurt. When she watched his fight, she tensed. She wasn't sure if his punch would land, but it did, and his opponent flew off of the stage into a wall. "Way to go, Kiro!" she said and gave him a high five.

Throughout her fights, she had a cool and calm head. Most of her competition wasn't that much of a challenge and she still felt bad. After Akita's last fight, Akita gave her and Kiro a hug and Ally returned the hug with a full heart, "You're amazing, Akita." Then she heard her number and another called up and let all of the air out of her lungs. She hoped to get a fair fight this time as she walked onto the stage. The man was older and had a somewhat familiar beard, but she didn't think too much on it and bowed to her opponent. His stance was unfamiliar to her and she knew this would be unlike any of the other fights. She got into a neutral stance, preparing herself for anything this man had to throw at her.

The referee lifted his arm, apparently able to sense the tension between the two, "Ready? Fight!"

Ally wasn't going to be the first one to make a move. She much preferred countering her opponents attacks than getting countered herself. Come on, she thought to herself make your move.

[rhema13]

Jackie Chun suddenly began to stagger all around the ring, as he tried to make his way (very slowly) to Ally. He was now blushing very brightly, a big smile on his face, with just a bit of drool sliding down from his lips. "Ehehehe!" He laughed quite out of the blue. "I'm gonna get ya'!" He slurred, just as he fell over onto his side, right on the edge of the ring. He got back up to his feet, as he continued his journey.

"What's he doing?" A fighter from the sidelines questioned. "He wasn't this stupid in any of his other fights." He added.

"The old man's drunk!" Another laughed aloud, as he pointed at the poor fool. Jackie Chun must've been celebrating just before the match, congratulating himself on making it so far. At least, that's what many of the fighters on the sideline had assumed. The majority of the crowd now found themselves uncontrollably laughing at the sad fight; no one had every seen anything so ridiculous! Especially at a place like the world tournament.

"Whoops!" Jackie Chun laughed, just as he got in close to Ally. "Dropped my keys!" He explained to her, as he started to lean on his opponent, slobber running off from his chin, and going onto the woman's shoulder. He tried to bend down to pick up his imaginary keys, while simultaneously hanging on to Ally to keep his balance. "Oh! I got them!" He excitedly exclaimed, as he quickly shot straight up. If Ally didn't dodge, he'd knock his head straight into her chin! Simultaneously, as Chun figured she would indeed manage to dodge the attack, he shot a powerful, lightning fast uppercut as he came up, as he aimed dead-center for her solar plexus, pivoting his right foot, and twisting his body to get the most out of the punch.

[1Hawkeyes]

Ally put her head to the side slightly as the man stumbled around the ring. She never really spent much time around anyone drunk as Roshi never drank in front of her, even on his birthday. The man stumbled towards her and her body tensed. Do I... help him? she wondered, watching him teeter towards her. She was upset that it seemed none of her preliminary fights were going to be fair. He bent down and came up fast, so she backed her head up a bit, not wanting to be hit by his head, but then his fist smashed between her ribs and she stumbled back quite a bit. She had never really been hit this hard before and was shocked by the pain. It took her a moment to recover and she realized this was the man's style of fighting, to trick people into thinking he was drunk! It was a dirty move, but she thought it was clever nonetheless. Maybe this fight will be fair.

Ally returned to her neutral stance and wondered what the best way to tackle the situation would be. She didn't know how he would fight and didn't know how to be offensive. She considered using one of her techniques, but figured that she could save it until she really needed it. So, she got in closer to Jackie Chun and released a quick jab, trying to pull back before he had time to grab, dodge, or counter.

[rhema13]

"D-Did she get hit? W-What happened to her!?" Kiro questioned openly (probably mainly to Akita, though), as he watched Ally stumble. "Don't go easy on him just because he's an old man, Ally!" The boy yelled out at her, he figured that had to be it. He knew she was a very kindhearted individual, and was probably going easy on the man because of his sad state. That's the exact reason why a lot of their opponents lost so easily against them, though; they underestimated them!

"Whoa!" Jackie Chun yelled out, as he pretended to fall backwards, conveniently dodging the quick jab, as he fell onto his back. "Maybe you've had a bit too much to drink, Jackie!" He laughed, as he quickly jumped to his feet, dusting his pants off. "Come on, everybody! Let's get this party started!" He shouted out, as he started to clap his hands together over his head, facing the crowd, his back now turned to Ally. "You over there!" He pointed to Gin. "Play some more of those cool tunes! Come on, we need to raise the roof up in here!" He exclaimed, Jackie seemed to waiver just a bit too much, as he started to lose his balance once again, waving his arms back and forth to keep himself afloat, now on a single leg; he slowly leaning forward. Suddenly, and surprisingly, Jackie snapped a fierce kick backwards at Ally's chest (with the leg in the air, obviously). As soon as he brought the kick back, he went back to a casual standing position, supposedly finally gaining his balance again. "Man, that was a close one, wasn't it?" He laughed to the crowd, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.

Most of the crowd still hadn't even noticed Jackie Chun's true intentions, the majority still laughing in tears at the silly old man.

[1Hawkeyes]

Ally was surprised when he dodged the jab, but tried not to let it phase her. The laughing and jeering continued to distract her a bit, but she wouldn't let it consume her focus completely. She knew she had to be ready for anything and jumped back when the kick was shot out. Part of her Gi tore and she was shocked. The kick was somehow sharp! She had to be really careful now and decided to go with a distance and try something she enjoyed when sparring with Kiro and Akita. She took a couple steps back, mindful of the out-of-bounds, and charged for the man. At about five feet away, she jumped into the air, chambered her leg and snapped it out to Jackie Chun's face. She was well aware that he could pull the whole "Dropped my keys!" act again and bend down to evade her kick, but she was prepared. If he bent down or ducked to avoid her kick, she would twist around, grab the back of his black gi-suit, and flip him over, hopefully making him land out-of-bounds.

[Shazbot21]

"That's no ordinary old man," Shin responded to Kiro. "He using the Drunken fist technique, my master showed me this technique he said not many people know it. it is very unpopular but only master's know how to use it," Shin explained. "So in everyones eye's he just looks like a drunk, but that girl... Ally you said knows this guy means business," Shin said. Who is that old guy really, Shin thought to himself rubbing his chin as he constrained at the old man's fighting style.

[rhema13]

"Hmm?" Jackie Chun slowly turned around, realizing that his kick never made impact. He assumed it would have hit her, and was thoroughly surprised when he found the girl jumping down at him. "What the-!?" He screamed, as it was too late to dodge or block the attack. She landed a clear hit on his face, as his upper body started speeding towards the out-of-bounds floor. His impressive lower body stood its ground, as he stopped just centimeters from the floor. Beads of sweat dripped down from his head, and onto the ground. 'Roshi, you fool! That was too close!' He thought to himself, as he started to grunt a little bit. Surprisingly enough, the old master used his knees to quickly bring himself back up to a standing position. He quickly leapt into the air, both his fists outstretched completely, using the momentum from the jump to put some great power behind the double punch. Since Ally was still falling from the kick she just performed, Jackie figured this was his best shot to get a good counter in.

[rhema13]

"The Drunken...Fist Technique?" Kiro repeated, as he stared up at the old man fighting in the ring. "He must be pretty tough if he knows something like that." He mumbled, sounding almost a bit afraid for Ally, but nevertheless, he knew who was going to win. "Look out, Ally!" He screamed, as Jackie jumped into the air to perform his latest deadly attack.

"Idiots." Eno murmured, as he watched the fight. He too knew of the drunken fist technique from his Master Shen, but he had never seen anyone master it as well as this Jackie Chun character. "Wait a minute..." Eno whispered, as he pushed through the crowd to get a closer look. "It is him! It's the old man!" He exclaimed, as everyone around him started to stare. He simply glared back at them, forcing everyone to return their attention to the fight. He remembered just the night before, when he, Samu, and their master had run into the turtle hermit. The beard, the body-type, it was unmistakable. It had to be Master Roshi. Eno had to contain himself from abruptly laughing right then and there, as now he'd have the chance to not only destroy the Turtle School, but also the master himself! How pathetic that such a supposed 'great master' would reduce himself to joining this tournament, obviously not trusting his own students to bring honor to the school themselves by winning. Probably because he knew himself just how pathetic they were in comparison to students of the Crane School.

[1Hawkeyes]

Ally was hit in the face by the old man's fists and flew backwards. Kiro's warning echoed in her ears and she wished she had more time to react. Her feet slid on the ground, but she was sure her nose was broken. She was a mere few inches from the edge of the ring. If I don't do this now, I'm going to lose for sure! Ally thought. She waited until the old man was looking at her, lifted her hands to each side of her face, and splayed all five of her fingers out. "Solar Flare!" she shouted and a bright light flashed, lighting up the whole room. She hoped Kiro and Akita weren't stunned too much by the technique.

Akita thought about what Shin said. "Drunken Fist? That's crazy, but..." she looked up at her friend fighting, "it might just work." She watched the old man and Ally go back and forth and hoped that her friend would make it through. Jackie Chun seemed almost as strong as Ally, if not stronger! Then she watched Ally lift her hands up and send out a bright light. Akita shut her eyes as tight as she could, but it was too late, she was stunned and momentarily blinded.

[Shazbot21]

"Aww jeez it's so bright!" Shin said instantly shielding his eyes from the bright flash. "Wow that's an cool technique," Shin said excited to see what happens next (if he could). "but it feels like i'm about to go blind," Shin added

"MY EYES!" A young boy yelled.

As Saitama was leaving putting on his jacket and sunglasses he turned around and heard the commotion. "I don't see whats wrong it's not that bright," Saitama said . "Oh well," Saitama said with a shrug.

[rhema13]

"My eyes!" Kiro exclaimed, as everything went completely white. He tried rubbing them, but to no avail. He was completely blind! He had only seen Ally do this attack once before during a spar with him. It was an effective attack to leave the opponent, and anyone else who became victim of the fierce attack, momentarily defenseless. Leaving the perfect opening for the perfect finisher.

Eno guarded his face with his arm, but this too was ineffective, as he was also blinded by Ally's amazing attack.

Jackie Chun started to rush at her, ever since she had recovered from his last attack, no longer messing around with his Drunken Fist Technique, this was it, time was running out. If he didn't do something quick, Ally could actually beat him! As soon as she began to lift her hands up, Jackie shut his eyes tightly, he knew exactly what this move was. One of Ally's specials, the Solar Flare, what she didn't realize, however, was that while it left the opponent paralyzed, if avoided, it left the attacker wide open! "Maybe next time, young woman!" Jackie Chun yelled at her, as he threw one last right straight at her face. He was careful not to open his eyes until he was sure that the punch made impact.

[1Hawkeyes]

Ally was shocked to see Jackie's fist coming right for her face! She had no time to block or dodge the punch and was hit. The punch was so powerful she was knocked out of the ring. Once the referee could see, he walked up to Jackie Chun and announced, "WINNER! JACKIE CHAN! Er, I mean, JACKIE CHUN BY OUT-OF-BOUNDS!"

Ally raised up and walked up to Jackie Chun. She bowed to him and left the stage where a medic was. Her heart sunk low into her stomach. She didn't expect to lose the fight, especially not like this. He should've been blinded by the light, how could he have known? More than anything she wanted to cry, and not because of the pain in her nose. Jackie Chun should've been blinded. The Solar Flare was a move she created, so how could he have known? Then she thought about it a little harder. He looked familiar and knew how to evade Solar Flare. She took a deep breath and whispered, "He's Roshi..."

"What?" the EMT asked.

"Oh, nothing, I'm sorry," Ally said as he stopped her nose from bleeding. It had to be Roshi! This thought didn't make her relieved, it only made her feel worse. A couple tears escaped her eyes, but she could easily blame them on the pain later on. Why would Roshi do something like that to her? This was her first tournament and he chose to stop her before she even made it past the preliminaries! She clenched her fists as tight as she could and a couple more tears escaped.

"Sorry, it won't hurt much," the EMT said, probably thinking he was the cause of her tears.

"It's fine, thank you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akita cried out when she opened her eyes to see Ally out of the ring. "No way!" she shouted out in disbelief. She then watched her friend step down to get medical attention and figured it would be best to let her be while she got her nose taken care of. "Kiro, did she really lose?" Akita asked in disbelief. Akita knew that it was possible that any of them wouldn't get past the preliminaries, but she was shocked that it was Ally. "I can't believe this," Akita sighed. She figured there had to be a reason for her friend not making it. It would push her to train much much harder, and Akita was excited to see this.
