Shojo and Genji began the match with an intense stare down. The silence was broken by Shojo."Oooh, thats a scary look. Are you mad I tossed around your bitch? She was rather pathetic wasn't she? She seems to be less suited to be on her feet with a blade than on her back with a man!" Shojo began to laugh maniacally, only ones able to hear this conversation seemed to be Genji, Serafina and little Juukei. Shojo stopped laughing when he heard someone else was laughing, particularly Genji. He was laughing pretty wildly. He then stopped when he heard someone coughing.
He turned around and saw Serafina hacking up black goo that seemed to melt the grass. She was in a lot of pain and and her veins were appearing black under her skin, which was turning a sickly green color. Genji looked on in confusion and heard Shojo chortle under his breath. Genji turned back to him. "That would be the effects of my blood. To a demon, it would get them drunk, but to a human.......well. To put it in laymen's terms, her insides are beginning to rot and melt. Don't worry, there is a cure. In order for her to survive the next 5 minutes, she will have to ingest my liver. So, you have less than 5 minutes to beat me and feed her my liver.....or she dies....oh, and of course you die because in that more likely scenario, I will have killed you. Then I will kill your other teammates, and how well do you think they'll fair? They can't even egister my existence! Your all doomed, and my team will have no one in their way from taking total victory and that wish! THEN I CAN FINALLY STOP BEING A SLAVE TO WHOEVER FINDS MY BOTTLE AND I CAN SAVE MY SPECIES FROM EXTINCTION BY IMPREGNATING THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!!!!!"He began to laugh manically, cauding Genji to raise up a singe eyebrow.
"Yo." SHojo stopped laughing and looked to him. There was a long, tension filled pause.
".........I don't care." Shojo looked confused. "What?"
"I don't care, about Serafina, I don't care if she dies. Or if any of my team dies. I'm just here to kill people.""Wow.....thats pretty cold. Abandoning your own teammates to death."
"I'm not abandoning them, I just don't care about them........but what I do care about, is killing you." Shojo simply laughed at this.
"Please..."
Shojo flexed his massive hand and Genji was raised into the air, his body looking like it was trying to stretch. "It doesn't matter if you care or not. You are intoxicated, SO I STILL CONTROL YOU!!!!" Shojo then proceeded to slam Genji into the arena floor, the arena wall, the stands and really any flat surface Shojo could think of. Eventually, Genji was floating limply in the air near the edge of the ring, and Shojo was laughing wildly. "So, who were you going to kill me again?! Because from where I'm standing, you not looking any better than that poisoned bitch!" Juukei walked up tot he edge of the arena.
"Stop messing around, Shojo! Just kill him and move on!" Shojo turned around to face the child. "Look you little brat, you may have found my bottle, so you have my loyalty and servitude....for now. But if you don't improve your little attitude-" As Shojo went on, and as his attention was diverted from Genji, Genji began to emit a red light from his body. The blades of Serafina that Shojo had discarded to the separate parts of the arena began to slowly rise into the air, blades pointed in Shojo's direction.
Juukei seemed to take notice of this.
"Shojo! Stop flapping your idiotic gums and turn around, the freak is doing something!" Shojo quirked an eyebrow and turned around.......just in time to have both blades stab right through either side of his head. Genji immediately dropped to his feet and disappeared.
He then reappeared on Shojo's shoulders, each hand gripped on one of the blades stuck in his head. He then yanked on them as hard as he could and back flipped off of his body, causing the to half of his head to be cut off. Genji landed, disappeared again and reappeared right in front of him. Flashes and random movements could be seen by only experienced fighters. Genji then appeared about 20 feet behind Shojo, Completely coated in his black blood. Shojo seemed to freeze, and then the entire crowd could see him and they collectively gasped as he seemed to enter existence. Shojo then abruptly fell into over 32 pieces.
Genji looked over his shoulder and said.
"Like that." he then flicked the black blood off of Serafina's blades.
Koto looked onto the carnage. She then jumped up and did a backflip and pumped her fist when she landed. "I'm sorry folks, but a girl can't help but jump for joy at the sight of a such a bloody attack! And now we can see Shojo......well what sleft of him. Well, normally I'd take a ten count, but I think that it's a little ridi......what?" Koto asked as all of the pieces of Shojo disappeared again.
Shojo's pieces seemed to meld back into each other and soon Shojo was reformed and staring at Genji with a large grin. Juukei looked smug and Genji a little worried. "Hmm, not bad. But like I said, I can't be killed. My body can only be destroyed by an ancient Samurai sword forged during the summer solstice on the night of a meteor shower and blessed in the forbidden spring by a Shinto priest. And I doubt one of those rusty little toothpicks qualify." Shojo began to laugh wildly again.
"What a turn of events! It seems Shojo is invisible again and I assume alive from the look on Genji's face. I wonder what will happen next! I'll try to commentate as best I can given the circumstances!"
Genji looked a little stunned at hearing what it took to kill him.......but then his face changed slightly. It regained it's confidence.
"Don't look so confident. Whatever your planning it won't work. You know why, because now your covered in my blood. And when it's exposed to oxygen, I can do a very fun thing with it!
"Oh yeah, and whats that?""MAKE IT EXPLODE!!!" Shojo screamed.
His pure red eyes then flashed brightly and briefly. The black blood that no covered every inch of Genji began to glow slightly. He looked down at himself....and then up at his team.....just before he was engulfed in a massive explosion that's force caused everyone in the stadium fall back in their seats and sent Koto flying out of the ring onto the ground.
When the thick smoked cleared, the part of the ring Genji was standing on was now a crater with Genji laying lifelessly at the bottom of it. Shojo simply laughed.
It took Koto awhile before she got back up on the ring and gasped when she saw Genji. "Wow.....I can't believe theres anything left of him after an explosion like that! Due to the odd abilities of the fighters. I'm going to take a ten count, just to be sure. One! Two! Three!-" Shojo turned around and began walking back to his team.
"It's a waste of time, he's dead. Nothing could survive that explosion."
"Eight! Nine!......Wha?"
"It's a pity really. Your so talented. I wish I hadn't faced you in the very first round of the tournament. Oh well.."Shojo froze. Sweat drops were culminating on his brow and his body was shaking slightly. He turned around. "S-s-so, you survived? Your pretty t-t-tough. But, you can't kill me, nothing but a sword forged-"
"Yeah yeah, forged in the summer solstice the night I gagged and raped your mother. That's all well in good if I wanted to kill your body..."Genji now appeared very different. The white shihakusho he normally wore was gone and his bandages were burnt and askew. Most of his face mask had burned off and you could see almost his entire face now. It was riddled in scars, the most prominent one being a Glasgow smile, two scars starting at each end of his mouth and curving up to look like a smile.
The most obvious difference was that the whites of his eye had turned completely black and his irises had disappeared. Only red slitted pupils remained. His smile was wide and manic, long sharp teeth displayed. The black bandages were now unwrapped so far that they danced wildly around him at least 20 feet long. His entire body was emanating a black wild energy with him as a glowing red center.
"...but what about your soul?"Shojo's eyes widened with fear. "Your bluffing......nothing but the Orb of Baast or a-a-a-a Mazoku Dragon can steal a soul." Shojo said, trying to convince himself.
The energy around him then seemed to change. The energy formed around his loose bandages to form two massive Japanese Dragons. Both looking very hungry and staring directly at Shojo.
Shojo was paralyzed as the very sky seemed to darken over the stadium.
"I.....am............a...DRAGON! SOUL CLAIMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"With a grandiose gesture, Genji threw his hands out in front of him. The twin dragons then shot forward towards Shojo in a double-helix pattern.
The dragons closed in on Shojo as their thunderous roar engulfed the stadium. Both of their mouths slammed down on Shojo at the same time.....then flowed right through him and up into the sky. A large red and black swirling portal opened in the sky and the dragons flew into it.
If one looked closely, one could see the pale form of Shojo trapped within the dragons mouths, screaming in terror.
The sky returned to normal, as did Genji.
Shojo's large form suddenly appeared for all to see, just as it fell backwards, completely devoid of a soul.
The stadium was silent.
Genji slowly walked over to wear he had thrown Serafina's sword so they could avoid the blast and picked them up. He then walked over to Shojo slowly. His arms seemed odd looking with what look liked black scales on them and he looked even more emaciated than usual. His eyes had returned to normal though.
Using one of Serafina's swords, he cut open Shojo's stomach and stuck him arm deep within the giants stomach. He fiddled around in there for awhile until he pulled and looking organ. Genji then made his way out of the ring and towards Serafina.
"Wow....just wow! What an amazing attack! But, just in case, I'll take a ten count. One! Two!-"
Genji got to Serafin and stabbed her swords into the ground in front of her. He then got down on one knee, grabbed her hand, opened it, and slapped Shoj's giant liver into her hands. He then gave her a smug smile.
"All without drawing a single on of my blades." He then got up and walked over to the arena wall and plopped down onto the grass with a pained expression. The damage of Shojo's attack and his own seeming to only now affect him.
"And Ten! The winner is Genji! Team Shirahama takes the match! I'm excited to keep the blood flowing, next two fighters step forward!"
The members of Team Kemonogatami looked rather shaken. Gozaru was smirking though, and looked more interested than anything. Juukei however looked rather mad.
"Stupid idiot, always had to play ith his opponents, never could get the kill until he had satisfied his own pathetic insecurity!" The young boys voice suddenly deepening and taking on a more sinister edge.
A beautiful figure stepped up onto the stage.
"Do not worry Juukei-chan, Heikeigani, the Beauty of the Sea shall seduce us another win."
