    Ep. 10: Showdown! Prince Kazuhiko vs. DarcBl00d!


    The entire crowd was silent. Not even a whisper was heard. Prince Kazuhiko walked up to the stage; eyes burning with a blazing inferno. He gave DarcBl00d a leer and signaled Gray to start the fight.
    “This is the final battle of the tourney.” Gray announced. He was serious, unlike his normal self. “This is the ending point of the entire tournament. Ready... set... FIGHT!”
    The crowd roared. Prince Kazuhiko felt as if the world was revolving around him. Denying the thought, he shook his head and gave DarcBl00d a glare. Prince Kazuhiko raised his right hand up to his chest. “V-Blade...” A moment later, Prince Kazuhiko and DarcBl00d were in a lock; V-Blade and Hack matching blades.
    The two rivals jumped back, and DarcBl00d looks up to the never-ending blue skies of zOMG. “I have always wanted to fight someone with your caliber;” DarcBl00d commented, still staring towards the sky. “Now is the time for two great powers to clash. Give this your all; or you’ll...” DarcBl00d whipped his head down and looked over at Prince Kazuhiko. “die.”
    DarcBl00d charged over at Prince Kazuhiko, blasting bullets from his Guns, Guns, Guns Ring. Prince Kazuhiko dodged to the side and prepared his Hunter’s Bow. He shot, but DarcBl00d anticipated and used Ghost.
    “Amazing...” Gray seemed as if he were lost in a trance, staring upon the stage. “They’re even.”
    Prince Kazuhiko hopped back to a corner of the stage. “I’m sure I am not the best choice for your fight of greatness.” He materialized a blade in his hand. “But I’m having the time of my life.” He proudly smiled, and with that, he disappeared. DarcBl00d looked all around the stage, but he could only make out blurs. He tried to prepare himself, but it was too late; Prince Kazuhiko was standing behind him, and dematerialized his sword.
    The next moment, DarcBl00d fell to his knees. “Heh heh heh...” DarcBl00d starting laughing. The laughter changed into hysterical enjoyment. “This is what I’ve wanted! This power of yours is parallel to mine!” he continued laughing.
    “Dude, could you stop that?” a sweet voice came from the crowd; DarcBl00d paused his amusement and stared over at the crowd. The entire crowd broke apart, as if his stare was a death beam. The sweet voice was MarukawaBubbleGum. “I said stop that; you’re creeping everyone out.”
    “Hmph.” DarcBl00d grunted and changed his gaze to Prince Kazuhiko. “Now we shall continue our battle of joy. Guns, Guns, Guns... Ghost... Hack!” DarcBl00d ran towards Prince Kazuhiko, who readied himself for the blow. DarcBl00d shot at him, but none of the bullets hit.
    Prince Kazuhiko opened his eyes to see that DarcBl00d was no longer standing there. “V-Bow!” Prince Kazuhiko straightened his gaze to the skies; and there in the sky was a gleeful goth. Falling down to Prince Kazuhiko, he pulled back his blade. Prince Kazuhiko released his arrow, straight and true, but, alas, the arrow flew past DarcBl00d.
    A blade struck ground, and Prince Kazuhiko was on the ground, an open cut across his chest. “Heh, heh...” DarcBl00d laughed, staring with an evil smile plastered on his face. “Now try to win, boy...”
    “That’s exactly what I’ll do! Meat!” Prince Kazuhiko ate the meat, but he stood glaring at DarcBl00d, not making one move.
    “What’s wrong, Mr. Prince? Why are you so still?”
    Prince Kazuhiko was kneeling like he was ready to jump at any time; and that time came. “V-Mantis!” He leaped at DarcBl00d and prepared to strike.

    There was a slashing sound, and his sword met his opponent’s body. But something didn’t feel right; he felt a cold finger pressing against his body. “Got you...” It was DarcBl00d, and immediately after, a tattoo appeared on Prince Kazuhiko’s chest.
    “Damn it!” Prince Kazuhiko leapt back, staring at the tattoo on his body.
    “Looks like he got you...” MarukawaBubbleGum pointed out in a sing-song voice.
    “Keep quiet, girl.” DarcBl00d’s mysterious voice echoing across the stage. “Don’t take any part in this.”
    MarukawaBubbleGum looked like she was ready to unleash her fury on him, but she thought better, and sat down, disappointed.
    “Hey, don’t be rude to your own teammate!” Prince Kazuhiko protested, protecting MarukawaBubbleGum. “I’ll show you. Mantis!” Prince Kazuhiko muttered something else under his breath and charged.
    “Now is the time to end this joy, sadly.” DarcBl00d had a sad look on his face and guns appeared in his hands. “Time to die.” He started shooting at Prince Kazuhiko, but he dodged every shot. Even though Prince Kazuhiko neared closer every second, DarcBl00d had a calm look on his face.
    Prince Kazuhiko met DarcBl00d face to face and made a jumping uppercut that successfully hit DarcBl00d, and in the air, he readied himself for the end of the fight. “V-Bow... Rage full!” Prince Kazuhiko started falling, arrow pulled back at it’s farthest. The next moment was blank.

    An amazing amount of dust rose in the air, and the stage was hidden from sight. A gust breezed and the dust blew away, revealing the results of the war between two players. DarcBl00d had dodged the arrow with Ghost and was holding the pale Prince Kazuhiko in the air by his chest. “Instant Death.” The life drained from Prince Kazuhiko, and he grew weak.
    Gray started announcing the victor, but something amazing happened. Prince Kazuhiko disappeared from sight due to Fantamio’s ring, and the air rung with a swinging noise.
    It was Prince Kazuhiko. He had swung his sword at DarcBl00d, but it never met. Everyone wondered what had happened until MarukawaBubbleGum looked behind Prince Kazuhiko. She gasped. The crowd followed her example. A sword’s blade was protruding through Prince Kazuhiko’s back. The life left his eyes, and he slumped onto DarcBl00d, who was the owner of the protruding blade.
    “I told you it was time to finish.” And with that, DarcBl00d forcefully pulled his saber from Prince Kazuhiko and walked off the stage.
    “This tournament’s winner: Team Deathwish!” Gray shouted over the roaring crowd. “Winners, step up and claim your...”
    “I don’t want it.” DarcBl00d replied with his back to Gray. “Give it to the runner-up. He deserves it.” After that, DarcBl00d disappeared from view.
    “Jerk!” MarukawaBubbleGum rampaged through the crowd, pushing people aside. “What if I wanted a ring?!?”
    “Actually, that’s not your choice.” Gray tried to hold back a happy smile. “It’s your leader’s. So good day to you.”

    Prince Kazuhiko was all too familiar with the hospital. He sadly stared at the pure white bed sheets, reminiscing about the battle. “I heard you sucked.” It was 101KiriUchiha. She was in the bed next to his, and theparkman123 was in the next one. “Don’t be so down; you tried your best and you lost. It’s nothing to be ashamed about.”
    “I have to get stronger!” Prince Kazuhiko responded angrily. “I have to win and prove myself to GameTesterJan!”
    “Pfffft!” theparkman123 rudely intruded. “Good luck doing that in a million years!”
    The three argued while Gray walked into the room. He cleared his throat and the team quieted down. “You should thank your opponent. He told me to give you these.” Gray threw one ring on each bed. “DarcBl00d felt potential in you. And with that, I bid you a good day.” Gray left the group, who were staring at the rings as if they were miracles.
    “Awesome! I got a Ghost Ring!” 101KiriUchiha celebrated.
    “And I got a Shark Attack Ring! Yahoo!’ theparkman123 joined in her celebration.
    Prince Kazuhiko just stared at the ring blankly, and finally picked it up. “This is my time to shine. I’ll use this Wolverine Ring to surpass you, DarcBl00d.” Prince Kazuhiko stared out the window, and noticed a black figure in the distance.
    There he was, DarcBl00d, waving at the hospital, then he disappeared.
    “Thanks, DarcBl00d...”
