"Oh, I hope you win!" Callista said in a worried tone.
" Don’t worry, Callista," Seiko said," I’m in no mood to go out and loose."
" Hope so because that guy is SCARY!"
Seiko laughed then headed toward the arena again. Just as she walked outside the hooded man turned his head slowly toward her. She looked at him and noticed that under all the blackness in his hood she could just barely notice his mouth which was baring and evil grin.
She turned her head and continued to walk .
" What a creepy guy!" she said under her breath.
Just as she stepped in the arena the crowd burst into applause and cheers. It had become apparent to many of the spectators, that this young girl out in the arena had something that all the other women in the colony didn’t seem to have. That something was bravery, and it was because of that which made her the new favorite in the tournament.
Laszlow took his place in the arena, and then looking at what his competition was threw his bald head back and laughed hysterically.
"I come to fight a man that may possibly be stronger than me and you give me a little girl!" he shouted.
Anger swelled up inside of Seiko. Who did he think he was? Calling her a little girl! Why compared to him I bet anybody was little.
Laszlow was a seven foot man with a HUGE torso and no hair on his big white head. To anyone he fought he looked intimidating because his muscles were so bulky. To Seiko, however, he looked like a pale, hairless gorilla.
"Three, two, one, FIGHT!!" the announcer yelled
Laszlow charged at Seiko and threw a punch. He missed and threw another. He continued on with this until out of nowhere Seiko’s leg came up under him and tripped him. He fell then jumped up and attempted to land a kick on her. She blocked it and then retaliated with punch in the face. Laszlow hit the ground and then struggled to get up.
"Get up,"Seiko muttered," I didn’t hit you that hard."
Laszlow didn’t get up. He lay on the ground yelping in pain then yelled for a doctor when he saw blood from his nose on his hands.
Seiko took her leave and once again the crowd burst into a tremendous applause.
" Again I say, WOW!" Callista said happily running to her friend.
" That was almost too easy." Seiko said,"what a baby!"
" Yea, but I just heard that you and the hooded guy are the only ones left to fight!"
"Really, well then maybe I’ll find out why he stares at me and maybe find out who he is." Seiko replied.
"Next up, Seiko, the child prodigy and the mysterious secret warrior, another new favorite.
" Nice name Mr. Mysterious Secret Warrior." Seiko said giggling.
"Yea well, we’ll see whose laughing when I win this match." he replied harshly walking away.
" Gawd! That guy needs to hit puberty!" Seiko thought," he sounds like he’s still a kid!"
They took their places and the announcer yelled for the match to commence.
"Your move," the hooded man said," ladies first."
" That’s so gentleman like of you," she said.
She leapt into the air then charged downward toward the man who dodged left then turned at her and shot a ki blast. She blocked it and sent it hurling back towards him. The blast missed him but shredded his cloak from the waist down. Her looked at the large whole in his cloak and cussed.
" Now would be a good time to hit him while he’s distracted by the extremely large whole. "
She disappeared then reappeared behind him and smacked him in the head. He spun around and went to kick her but she jumped up over his head missing the attack by a foot.
Figuring that there was enough time she grabbed the hood of his cloak and yanked it down just as a hand came and hit her in the stomach.
The man turned around only to reveal a boy with red eyes and brown hair.
"JABARI!?" Seiko and Callista yelled.
