The announcer starts, "For our single semi-final match, we have 3 remaining contestants. It has been decided that Shoji will be fought in the final round, leaving Senshi and Nashi to fight in the semi-finals!"
This announcement meets the ears of the remaining contestants, bringing joy and excitement to Senshi and Shoji. "May the best fighter win, Nashi!" Senshi exclaims with excitement in his voice as he runs out of the waiting room into the arena. "Hey! Wait up!" Nashi yells as he runs out the other hall into the arena.
Once they are both in the arena, the announcer says, "3, 2, 1, fight!"
They both run up to each other, and Senshi's arm clashes with Nashi's leg. They both continue to clash attack after attack. They both finally step back from each other, then Nashi runs up to Senshi, jumps up and swings his left leg at Senshi, hoping to hit his head."He's quick," Senshi thought. "But not quick enough!" Senshi then grabs Nashi's leg and punches him in his stomach. This knocks Nashi back, but he catches himself on his feet.
"Crap!" Nashi thought. In his mind he continued, "You know what? To hell with this disability!"
Nashi runs to Senshi at full speed, backflips above Senshi, and directs his leg to the top of Senshi's head. However, Senshi puts his arms over his head before the kick landed. Nashi jumped off and proceeded to attack and attack at Senshi using his legs and feet. Senshi dodged and weaved every single attempt.
"I can tell he's making his attack patterns obvious," Senshi thought, "so he can catch me off guard." Senshi swung at Nashi, clashing with Nashi's left leg. Nashi backflipped in front of Senshi, kicking Senshi in his chin and making him fall on his back. Nashi perfectly landed on his feet in front of Senshi.
"Sen!" Shoji yelled from the waiting room. "Get up, get up, get up!" Shoji thought.
The lights on the ceiling of the arena flashed in his eyes. Right then and there, Senshi saw a vision. A man with long shaggy hair, red glowing eyes, and a dark cloak stood above Senshi. This man stood in front of gray clouds, lightning striking the ground. The man rose a black broadsword in the air, saying "Goodbye."
Instantly, the vision faded for Senshi to find Nashi standing over him. Senshi instantly got up and punched Nashi in his stomach, pushing Nashi about 2 feet away until Nashi fell to the ground. "Yes!" Shoji said.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Senshi wins!" said the announcer as the semi-finals have concluded.
"Did I just black out? What the heck was that?!" Senshi said. Nashi sat up, groaning from the pain in his stomach. Senshi walked up and said, "Sorry I hit you too hard." "No no, it's alright,". Nashi responded as he jumped to his feet. Both Senshi and Nashi walked back into the waiting room.
"Good job, Sen!" Shoji exclaimed as soon as Senshi walked into the room. "Thanks." Senshi replied as he dapped Shoji up.
The announcer announced, "It's time for the final round!"
