(Backstage)
(Jubei is sleeping in the corner next to Shikamaru who is fighting boredom with shadow puppets.)
Temari:"You better take this more seriously or you're going to get killed Shikamaru!"
Shikamaru:"Man, this is how my mom talks to my dad....... I still don't understand why he keeps her around..... women are too troublesome.......ooh that's a cool deer shadow..."
(Temari wraps her hands around shikamaru's neck until security seperates them)
Kagura:"Humans are so weak and stupid. I'll kill them first."
(Kenshin bumps into Kagura)
Kenshin:"Oh sorry miss, I didnt see you there." (lame over exagerated smile)
Kagura:"Watch where you are going human or I won't wait until our match to rip your bodyparts off one by one."
Kenshin:"It won't happen again miss, I don't want any trouble."
Zolo:"Wow, he will be the first to die, that's for sure. I doubt he has any skill at all. Wonder if he even knows how to use that sword."
(Misty looks around nerviously, gripping togepi tight.)
Misty:"Who are these people? And why did I even let Brock talk me into taking his place in this tournament..... stupid Brock.... he told me it was a fashion show grrrrrr I'm gonna kill him. Hmmmm come to think of it.... where is he?"
(At a hotsprings)
Brock:"Finally I can work my magic without Misty interfering. Hmmm I like this place (reads sign) Hinata Inn, sounds nice."
(Crazy Japanese samurai girl flies out of the inn.)
Motoko:"Pervert!!! Die!!!!"
Brock:"Crap!! Misty help me!!!"
Keitaro:"Ummmm Motoko, why is the water red again??? Man, this happens everytime I have to clean."
(Back to the Tournament)
"Are you ready for more gruesome deaths and senseless acts of sadistic violence?"
(Fans cheer eradically and a few brawls start in the stands.)
"I adore your enthusiasm people but please let the trained professionals die in vain here. Now let the bloodshed continue! The next ten fighters are ready.
First we have the wind mistress Kagura!!! Highly skilled, and paid swordsman Jubei!!! The Heavy Blade Avatar Rena!!! The pokemon word's own Misty!!! Next is yet another master of the wind Temari!!! Shop owner Kisuke also known as Hat and Clogs!!! Now bow to King Bradley, better known as Pride!!! The fangirls are going crazy at the very sight of the legendary Battosai, Kenshin Himura!!!! Another swordman, Zolo!!! He appears to be getting the support of all the pirates in the audience. Finally our last fighter, Shikamaru!!!"
(Bell)
"The third match has begun! The fighters size eachother up and we have some fierce staredowns..... ok people this isn't DBZ no one wants to see your facial expressions, kill somebody already!!!! That bit of encouragement seems to have worked. Rena swings her blade randomly but Temari dodges the first two strikes then blocks the third with her fan. Pride draws two blades and so does Zolo. I love the sound of clashing metal almost as much as I love the sight of evisceration. Shikamaru is too busy looking up to notice anything going on around him. Jubei dodges a slash by Kisuke then another one by Kagura's fan. He hasn't even drawn his sword yet, what is he waiting for? Misty has the look of fear and chooses psyduck. He umm is running away. Kagura takes to the sky and attacks with her dance of blades! One nearly hits Misty, another one slices psyduck in half! So thats what pokemon look like inside. Kisuke appears to be her main target, at least eight blades are headed his way."
Kisuke:"Benihime, awaken! (His zanpakuto transforms) Sing!"
"He has created a red shield just in time to block the attack! On the other side of the ring Zolo uses his three sword technique to slice and dice Pride..... but wait, he's not dead! Pride strikes back and shoves a blade through Zolo's shoulder! Zolo returns with his own attack, slamming his sword upward into Pride's neck! Brutality abounds but again Pride refuses to die."
Temari:"You call that a fan? I'll show you the real way to use the wind. Wind scythe jutsu!"
"Swirling winds overtake the ring and slam into Kagura who merely shrugs it off."
Kagura:"I don't just control the wind.... I AM THE WIND!!! Dance of blades!"
A dozen blades are hurled Temari's way. She counters with more wind but it's not enough. Shikamaru springs into action finally and uses his shadow possession to seize control of Misty and forces her to leap in front of Temari! Ouch that's gonna leave a stain on our ring! Misty is being chopped into tiny pieces as Temari barely escapes with her life. Misty is the first to be eliminated! Pride removes his patch to reveal a tattoo on is eye. Zolo battles through immense pain and concentrates to use his asura technique. It looks like he has six arms and wow... three heads! Nine swords are slashing against Pride but he can't be killed by a mere sword. Amazingly Pride avoids every slice and counters with several well placed stabs. Finally Zolo appears out of stamina and Pride takes advantage with a upward strike. He slices off Zolo's left arm and it falls to the ground still gripping his sword. Zolo goes down to one knee. With the look of renewed determination he springs forward with a final attack! Pride must have seen it coming somehow and sidesteps it then follows through with a perfect cut! Zolo's head hits the ground with a pleasurable splat next to his arm! His headless body then collapses... needles to say Zolo is eliminated! Urahara takes on Jubei who still hasn't unsheathed his sword. Kenshin who has also avoided attacking thus far stares down Pride. Kagura makes her move."
Kagura:"Pathetic humans, If someone dies I can bring them back, if their head gets cut off I can put it back on. Behold, Dance of the Dead!"
"The swirling winds lift up Zoro's bloodsoaked body and reattaches his arm and head and lunges forwad at Temari but wait, at the last second the wind shifts and send's Zolo's lifeless body at Shikamaru! He's not fast enough.... one blade plunges into his chest! He goes down and Juri pronounces him dead! Temari is pissed and goes on a rampage sending huge gusts of wind to Kagura but she merely redirects them away from her. Temari then pulls out a scroll and makes some hand signs... she summons what appears to be a giant ferret with a huge sickle. It flies at Kagura with great speed but she calls forth her feather to fly her higher. Kisuke attacks Jubei who finally draws his sword to block. He sees the ferret and drops to the ground just in time and it slices into Kisuke! He manages to guard against it but the damage has been done. Jubei goes on the offensive. Kenshin using his god-like speed to counter Pride's vicious blows then powers him back and nails Pride with a finishing cut across the throat spilling buckets of blood. Temari uses her fan to reach Kagura in the sky and the two clash. After exchanging blows they throw eachother to the ring below, landing harshly on the concrete. Rena charges at them for an easy kill but Kagura blocks with her fan.
Kisuke is bleeding but is not letting up. He fires a crimson blast from his sword and Jubei barely rolls out of the way in time but drops his sword. Kisuke goes for the finish, sprinting ahead and readies his blade. Jubei lunges directly at him then pulls on an invisable string to send his sword back to his hand, they clash! Jubei lands a kick then stabs forward but Kisuke uses his shield. He then fires another blast through his own shield! It hits Jubei who could not see it coming. He goes down and could be out.
Wait, Pride regenerates and appears behind Kenshin"
Pride:"What good is a manslayer who doesn't kill? You're nothing more than a fly... just another nuisance. I on the other hand will make the rest of these pathetic insects beg before I kill them one by one and if your lucky maybe I won't go after the audiance and your friends afterward."
"Kenshin's eyes are enraged! Flaming in a color I've never seen before. He turns toward Pride with enough fierceness to kill an army. In an instant Kenshin fires away with several slashes but Pride dodges."
"As with that pathetic pirate you can't touch me. My ultimate eye shows me every possible outcome before it happens. I know what to do before you even attack. Give up and you'll die painlessly."
Kenshin:"I will not stop until your head hits the ground. Dory?sen!"
"Kenshin slashes with such power it sends the ground and debris directly at Pride who manages to block. Wait a minute, a chunk of rock hit his eye! Kenshin then hurls his blades with blinding speed! Pride is cut in half but the blade continues and impales Rena! Kenshin speeds forward and retrives his blade and quickly despenses of Temari and Kagura with one slash! Kagura's throat is sliced clean and Temari's chest spurts blood! Rena, Kagura and Temari are all pronounced dead and thus eliminated! Kenshin Himura and Kisuke Urahara remain. A quick stare down and Kenshin makes the first move. Kisuke is nearly as fast but not quite. Kenshin attacks but it's blocked. Kisuke takes several steps back then goes for his crimson blast but Kenshin saw him use it before and stops his motion with his blade. Kisuke pushes him back with great strength then goes for the blast again... but wait Jubei who was hiding under the dead bodies of Temari and Kagura grabs Kisuke's ankle and trips him up... he falls outside and is eliminated! Jubei stands up with a smirk. Two are left but only one can advance. Kenshin grips his sword still with the look of a manslayer. Jubei changes his stance, both are ready for one last all or nothing attack. Both launch forth in unison, a blur of remarkable speed and precision... and they strike at once!!!! Dust and smoke rises from the ring.... who is left standing in the climactic showdown? What? Both are standing..... Jubei smirks then falls to the ground. Kenshin has a single cut on his chest but not enough to stop the Battosai! The winner of match three is: KENSHIN HIMURA!!!!!!
Jubei gets up, appearently Kenshin only hit him with a non-leathal knockout attack from the dull side of his reverse blade sword. Stay tuned for the next matchup!"
