"For the final round, it's Senshi vs. Shoji!" the announcer said.

"Let's go!!!" Senshi and Shoji yelled in unison.

Maku-sa says, "Never have I ever seen two people so excited to fight each other." "Aren't they brothers?" Nashi asked. "I guess so," Maku-sa answered.

Both Senshi and Shoji run in their respective hallways into the arena. As they both get into the arena, Shoji shouts, "Let's make this the best fight of this tournament, Sen! Okay?!" "Heck yeah!" Senshi responded.

"3, 2, 1! Fight!" said the announcer as the final round begins.

Senshi and Shoji run up to each other and clash fists. They start throwing blow after blow, blocking and weaving each other. Senshi lands a punch in the middle of Shoji's chest, pushing him back. However, Shoji runs forward and trips Senshi. Then, Shoji tries to punch Senshi in the stomach, but Senshi lifts his legs and dropkicks Shoji in his chin from the ground. This attack sent Shoji 5 feet backwards. The crowd went "Oooo..." when the attack connected.

Senshi rolls backwards and stands back up on his feet. "Sorry if the attack was too hard, Sho," Senshi apologized. Shoji stood back up and came back with, "Don't apologize now. We're just getting started!"

"What?" Senshi asked in a confused manner. "This was just a friendly mat-" Senshi got distracted trying to finish his sentence as Shoji almost hit him with a clean punch. Senshi was lucky enough to not be too distracted as he dodged Shoji's fist. They looked each other in the eyes for a small moment. Senshi noticed the seriousness in Shoji's eyes. "I have a feeling something's up with Sho..." Senshi thought.

Shoji looked back at his brother, saying, "Come on, Senshi! Let's get serious!" Senshi thought of what Shoji said before their match: "Let's make this the best fight of this tournament, Sen! Okay?!"

Senshi thought to himself, "The best fights of tournaments always end off with a bang." Even so, once again did Senshi get distracted by his own thoughts as Senshi got hit in the cheek by Shoji's fist. "Okay... how about... THIS!" Senshi shouted as he pushed Shoji back, making Shoji stumble. Then, Senshi cocks his fist back and aims it at Shoji's cheek.

Before the punch connected, Shoji witnessed a vision of sorts. He saw a man in front of him with his hand cocked back, face shadowed over, but had dark hair, just like... Senshi? The vision disappeared, with Senshi's fist close to his face. Right then and there, the punch landed, spit flying out of Shoji's mouth, and Shoji was knocked back so hard he turned around and fell face first on the ground.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Senshi wins! Senshi is the tournament champion!"

Everyone in the stands are cheering and screaming. "Senshi! Senshi! Senshi!" was what the crowd was chanting. Senshi ran to Shoji and flipped him on his back. Shoji's eyes were closed. "Sho. Shoji! Earth to Shoji!" Senshi said in an attempt to wake Shoji up. It was then when Senshi realized…

…Senshi knocked Shoji out.

End of Chapter 10…

Ending Note: Like the suspense? I guess I couldn't help myself. Anyways, I know, I know this is like… the third time I've been gone for awhile. To be honest, I'm just enjoying my summer vacation maybe a little too much. However, most of the time I don't have the motivation to get up and hop onto this volume. Even so, don't think I won't continue this book. I just won't be posting too frequently, and I don't wanna make promises I can't keep. See you next chapter! I'm planning a little surprise…
