Fantasy Silent Voice

[SpaceRavens03]

Xenon himself soon received word that Ryukia was found, eventually joining back with the others alongside Ryutaro and Ryukia.

 

[Topless]

"Ryukia, thank goodness you're alright. We were all worried about you." Rachelle said, but Ryukia doesn't say a word. "Hey, answer her. I know it's hard, but at least say something." Ryutaro said, but still no word.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Is that really the answer you'll give them?” Clair spoke up towards Ryukia, nearly sounding like a certain hooded fighter who was the odd one out of all the participants. “We wouldn't be able to help you if you kept your insecurities to yourself. Especially since you're actually practicing Satsui.”

Back in the Tennouji Inn, Scientia was now reading up on every information available that was related to the forbidden art Clair mentioned.

“....Are the chances of it becoming a drug high enough to be hard to reverse?”

 

[Topless]

"That...That was Satsui?" Ryukia finally spoke. On the other hand, Ryujiro said "No drug can ever repress the Satsui. It is only by mental will that can contain it."​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“If that is the case,” Scientia spoke, “Ensuring that your daughter does not unleash it unconsciously would be our top priority to prevent her raising more casualties. Stopping her from participating is probably one of the choices we have if we don't want it worsen.”

“Pretty much as accurate as what I've read up on it before the day of tournament.” Clair nodded, “I'm guessing you didn't realise you were using it earlier, did you?”

 

[Topless]

"You sure about that? I think that might be hard for Ryukia to take." Ryujiro said. Meanwhile, Ryukia shook her head, confirming Clair's guess.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“I understand it would be hard for her to fully accept leaving. Which is why the other choice we have is to trust your son's friends to be able to help her repress Satsui completely.” Scientia answered, looking back up at the television screen.

“There wasn't anything that suggests that their efforts to help her will be in vain, especially with my cousin on their side to help them.”

“I don't want to believe that leaving the tournament is the only way to give you some time to surpress Satsui.” Clair clarified to Ryukia before adding, “Since every participants are given free time after their match for the day, will you be alright with it if we decide to help you deal with the forbidden arts you've unintentionally learnt?”

 

[Topless]

Ryukia nods.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Alright! That settles it.” Clair concluded.

--------------------------------------------------
“I never thought the cause of it was due to Satsui...”

Xenon spoke as he looked at the next ongoing match.

 

[Topless]

"For the fifth match!" The referee spins the wheel and then it stops. "Aleksei Volkhov! Versus..." He spins it again and it stops "Wendelynn Lee! Please come up the arena!" The two fighters would go up and face each other.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“...Something tells me this is going to end relatively quickly in Wendy's favour.”

Xenon muttered as he sipped a cup of tea, looking at the screen with a deadpan look.

 

[Topless]

At the sound of the bell, the match starts. Aleksei goes in for a punch, but Wendy catches it only to be pushed back the strong force. Aleksei walks over to try and grab Wendy, but she slides on her side, went back, and grabs the hulking man by the waist. With all her might, she lifts up Aleksei off the floor, struggling due to his weight. But in the end, she delivers a ground shattering hard suplex. But that wasn't enough. Aleksei stands up, surprising Wendy, but that left her open for the hulking man to grab her and put into a bear hug.

Wendy screamed. She begins to punch Aleksei in the face as many as she could, but it did not gaze him one bit. She goes for a headbutt and forces him to let go. Aleksei was going to attack again when Wendy low blows him, a textbook heel move. With him cringing in pain, Wendy grabs Aleksei and carries him on her shoulders. The audience could not believe this. Aleksei could be about 500 pounds of pure muscle. Wendy tosses Aleksei to the floor, hitting face first into the floor, finally knocking him out.

"And our winner, Wendelynn Lee!" The referee yelled and the crowd goes wild.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Shallowing his saliva audibly, Xenon felt a cold bead of sweat rolled down his head as the sight of Wendy actually carrying someone twice her size and outright dunking him down simply.

“Now that's just terrifying....”

 

[Topless]

"That's what I do!" Wendy yelled and crowd followed as she steps out of the arena. "For the final match of the preliminary round, we have...!" The referee spins the roulette and it stops. "Yang Ling! Versus..." He spins it again and it stops "Goutetsu Onimaru! Please enter the arena!" For some obvious reason, upon the mention of Goutetsu, the crowd starts booing at him followed by the chant "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!"​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Here he comes,” Xenon spoke, eyeing the screen attentively.

--------------------------------------------------
“And so the culprit steps forward.” Cheng muttered as the two fighters stepped onto the stadium. “Perhaps it'd be wise that we cover Ruri's eyes and ears during this battle?”

 

[Topless]

"You can cover them if there is something to happen." Rachelle suggested. Meanwhile back on the arena, Yang and Goutetsu have a stare down right before the bell rings and the match starts. "Say, Cheng, how does that- um...your special ki from your home country work?" Rachelle asked.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“One could liken it to the "chakra" from Ikaruga fighters,” Cheng explained, “Although in Dou Qi's case, it allows the user to manipulate either one out of 7 elements:Water, Wood, Wind, Rock, Fire, Lightning, Earth. Here Yang Ling seems to hold the "Rock Dou Qi", which heavily specialises in defense.”

 

[Topless]

"Defense?" Rachelle asked before looking back at the match. Yang is backs away, keeping her eye on Goutetsu who is just standing in his ground, not moving an inch. "Hey! You suppose to come at me or what?" She asked, gesturing him to attack, but he did not mind. He stands there like a statue and Yang is getting irritated. The crowd would boo at Goutetsu, the heat getting a little more hot. "Alright, have it your way." She said before yelling "MUDWALL!" She stomps her feet and a huge wall of rock rises from the ground. She boots the wall towards Goutetsu with great force, but once it hits him, he is still standing unfazed. This puzzles Yang.

Finally, Goutetsu takes a step, Yang getting her defense game up. But then something happened. Her legs begin to shake and doesn't know why. As she looks at Goutetsu, she could feel something crawl on her skin. It's like some monster is approaching her, his aura distorting the atmosphere with terror and dread. "What the hell is going on? Why are my legs shaking? Why am I sweating so badly? Why do I feel that I am running out of breath? Just what is with this guy?" She thought to herself just as Goutetsu is midway near her. This prompts her to stop once more and a large rock pops out from the ground.

She punches the rock towards Goutetsu, which shatters into small sharp chunks. Goutetsu immediately sprints, destroying the projectiles by force in the process. Yang quickly summons up a rock wall to block him, but Goutetsu punches into the wall and hitting her face, sending her flying away, but not out of the arena. She gets back to her feet and yell "LANDSPIKE!" She kicks the ground and large spikes rises from it heading towards Goutetsu. However, he thrusts his palm, firing off a powerful force that destroys the spikes and is heading towards Yang.

She stomps her feet, causing the ground she is standing to shoot up along with her quick enough to avoid the force. Angry, she hold off the chunk of ground, charging towards Goutetsu to land a punch. But then, just as her fist is going to connect to his face, Goutetsu raises his hand and flicks against Yang's fist, which blows her entire arm off. The audience where shock. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Yang screams in pain. She could not believe what just happened. As she is down on her knees, cringing in pain, Goutetsu grabs her hair and slams her head onto the ground, knocking her out completely.

"Knockout! Goutetsu Onimaru wins!" The referee yelled and the audience is in total silence at what has transpired. Goutetsu, representing Eden, has won. He gave Yang a horrible squash of a match and worst of all, he did not have to use his Satsui since he has no plans of killing her. Goutetsu walks off the arena, his face speaks of disappointment.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Needless to say, Cheng had immediately covered Ruri's ears and eyes. His fox-ears drooped down as he looked at the unsettling result of the match.

“H-Hey now....is this actually for real....?”

 

[Topless]

Rachelle gulped, and so does Ryutaro. "That guy...he did not used his Satsui. Yet, he still won anyway." Ryutaro said "And since he is moving up, that means..."​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Tsch....there's gotta be a way we can counter him on time during the span of this tournament...!”

Xenon muttered, his iris shrunk in horror as cold sweat started rolling down his cheek.

 

[Topless]

"We now move on to the mid round! From this point onwards, ringouts are now omitted! Winning shall now be via knockout or submission!" The referee said "And for the first match; Ryutaro Tennouji versus Kim Yong Guu! Please enter the arena!"

Ryutaro takes a deep breath and says to Xenon "Wish me luck. By the way, warn Wendy about in advance. I know she will face him later on."​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Got it.” Xenon answered. Although deep inside he was still very much unsettled by what he had just beer witnessed to.

Is he seriously going to be up against Wendy next....? Is she going to be okay?

 

[Topless]

Ryutaro went up the stage where he faces Kim. Meanwhile, Wendy is busy training for her next match when she is approached by Xenon. "Oh, Xenon, what brings you here?" She asked.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“You saw what happened in the match earlier, I hope?’

Xenon asked, looking at Wendy worryingly.
