"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final match of round 2. Only one spot remains to determine who will face off against the formidable Tiger Wings team," declared the announcer with enthusiasm. Felix made his way over to the medical wing in the locker room, determined to check on his teammate Kiyoshi. "Kiyoshi!" he called out, relieved when Jax pointed him in the right direction. "Hello again," said Felix as he approached Kiyoshi's bedside. "Hello," responded Jax curtly, still looking a bit shaken from the previous fight. "How is he?" asked Felix, concerned for his teammate's well-being. "He is fine now; he doesn't remember going berserk during that fight," replied Jax with a worried look. "I didn't know he had that ability," said Felix, surprised by this new information. "Yeah, he learned it when we were sparring against each other before the tournament," explained Jax. "Hmm, it seems like he can't fully control the being inside of him," observed Felix with a furrowed brow. "I know, it's strange. He should have more control unless he's an inexperienced fighter," agreed Jax. Just then, Lionel entered the room, already preparing for their upcoming match. "That would be something you would do," chuckled Jax at Lionel's intense focus. "What do you mean?" questioned Felix curiously. "Oh- nothing," replied Jax with a cryptic smile and closed eyes before offering his congratulations to Lionel for making it to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, two girls were strolling down the hallway towards the fighting stage, chatting about their next opponents. "I wonder how challenging our next match will be?" pondered Koizumi aloud. Natalia replied confidently, "I'm pretty sure we're going to dominate them and move on to the next round." "You really think so, Nat?" questioned Koizumi doubtfully. "Absolutely," affirmed Natalia with a smug grin. Overhearing their conversation, Yvain and Ivan, the opposing team members, were filled with anger and determination to prove them wrong. "Oh boy, a dream come true," muttered Yvain sarcastically to his teammate Ivan. "Every year we get closer to the finals, only to be crushed by a five-star opponent," sighed Ivan in frustration. "Well, this year will be different; there isn't a single five-star fighter on this island," declared Yvain confidently. "An easy win for us," added Ivan with a smirk. As Yvain and Ivan made their way towards the fighting stage, they accidentally bumped into Natalia, causing her to become aggressive. "Hey, watch where you're going or you'll end up dead!" she threatened with a fierce glint in her eyes. Feeling intimidated by Natalia's strong presence, Yvain stuttered an apology before realizing that these were the opponents they would be facing next. Koizumi chimed in with a cocky remark, "These are the weaklings we'll be easily defeating." Undeterred, Koizumi and Natalia continued to taunt Yvain and Ivan until it was time to enter the stage for their match. The crowd of spectators erupted into loud cheers as both teams stepped onto the stage area. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our two final teams: Tornado Shockwave versus Toxic Ivy!" announced the announcer dramatically. As the fighters took their positions on opposite sides of the stage, Lucas grinned confidently at his teammates Sherry and Vincent, whispering, "This will be an easy match for Toxic Ivy." Sherry nodded in agreement while Vincent simply crossed his arms and observed the formidable opponents in front of him. Without wasting any time, all four fighters transformed into their spirit guardians, preparing for an intense battle. Yvain's armor morphed into a bright yellow knight called Zurow, the thunder prince. "You summoned me, sir?" asked Zurow with a deep, booming voice. "Yes, this will be a tough match. Keep your eyes peeled," instructed Yvain with determination in his voice. Ivan's transformation was equally impressive as he turned into a half-human and half Pegasus creature named Arceus. "We've got this," reassured Arceus to Ivan, who looked a bit nervous despite his teammate's words of encouragement. "Remember, stay confident; you made it this far," reminded Arceus before the match began. Koizumi couldn't help but laugh at Natalia's cocky attitude as she confidently declared, "Look at them getting all serious like they have a chance." However, Natalia wasn't just all talk; her body began to emit a light purple aura as she transformed into her spirit guardian form. Her tongue grew longer, her eyes enlarged and became camouflaged, and she even sprouted a tail that curled up behind her. Small claws formed on her hands as she chuckled menacingly at Yvain and Ivan. The announcer called for both teams to bow their heads and get ready to fight as the spectators grew increasingly excited for what promised to be an intense battle between two powerful teams. Despite nerves and tension filling the air between the opponents, both sides were determined to come out victorious and move on to the next round of the tournament. Koizumi’s lime green aura surrounds her body, and the body just changed into four tails green fox with maroon’s eyes color. Come and get some boys. Said Natalia. Yvain and Ivan both went after Natalia. They both threw punches and kicks at Natalia. Natalia dodges all attacks that she threw her way. She did a roundhouse at Ivan, and then she did a spin in midair and kicked Yvain. They both went down. Then Koizumi ran over and made a move called toxic claw. Her claws lit up a flashy green color, and she ended up slashing the back of Ivan. Hahaha. Koizumi laughs weirdly. Ivan stumbles to get up. “Special Move: Mystic Toxic Claw Crush.” Yelled Koizumi. Her hand grew green claws, and she went for a slash at Ivan, but he rolled away. The special move connects to the ground that creates a huge explosion. Then, gray smoke appears after the special move goes off. “That was close,” said Arceus. “I know,” said Ivan. Then, Koizumi charged at him with a kick, but Ivan pushed her leg back, and Koizumi did a backflip in the air and landed on the ground. “You are not bad, Ivan,” Said Koizumi. “Yeah, watch this! yells Ivan. “Special Move: Solar Stream Strike.” Yelled Ivan. Ivan flew up in the air into the galaxy, and he began to spiral down onto Koizumi. Koizumi saw him coming from a mile away, and she easily moved out of the way and kicked at him right before he hit the ground. “How did she do that?” Said Ivan as he is going out of bounds. Ivan fell and rolled out of bounds. “Humph, straightforward fight,” Said Koizumi as she put her index finger on her lips. “That is a ring out for Ivan Komar,” said the announcer. “Oh great, I am all by myself,” said Yvain. Yvain got up from a punch that Natalia had landed earlier. Natalia and Koizumi are starting to stroll towards him. Yvain gets scared when they both look him in his face. “Please, go ahead and jump off this beloved platform for us, so you do not get hurt,” said Natalia and Koizumi. “No, never.” Yelled Yvain as his aura got thicker again and with a ball up fist. Yvain cha argued at them with a fist, but Natalia had caught him using her long tongue. Her tongue is very poisonous. “Special Move: Poison Corruption.” Her tongue began to lick his face. The lick is very poisonous. “What is this?” asked Yvain, trying to lick away the sob from his cheek. It is already too late to wipe away, and your body is already losing energy from my lick. When Yvain began to power up, he got weaker, and his vision got blurry, and he started to close his eyes and reopen them. He is starting to run, but his wobbles made him fall off the stage, and he closed his eyes when he fell off. “Yvain Zurlou has fallen off the platform,” said the announcer. Furthermore, the Toxic Ivy is moving to the semi-Finals. “I told you that this was an easy match,” said Natalia. “I did not doubt you at all; I knew we were going to win for sure,” Said Koizumi. “Let us prepare for our next match,” Said Natalia as they walked off. “It looks like all of my wishes will come true when I teach those first years not to mess with me; I cannot wait to see their faces with much pain that I am going to inflict on them,” said Lucas.
