"If both fighters are ready! I will count you in!" The announcer's voice echoed through everyone's ears, and they answered by even louder cheering as they looked at the two nodding fighters below that took up a fighting stance.
"Very well! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, START!"
Both fighters bolted from their place at incredible speed, yet when they reached each other, Shadow abruptly decided to stop while his opponent continued with his fists headed for the face.
"ONE PUNCH!!" The crowd screamed as it seemed like his fists were about to make contact and put an end to all of Shadow's hopes and dreams.
But, like a shadow itself, it was as though he disappeared the instant before anything made contact. He, unbeknownst to everyone, ducked down and lifted his hands up for a devastating uppercut to the chin. Yet, despite the sudden shift in tempo, Joker did not hesitate nor falter as he maintained his same brilliant, keen-eyed gaze.
