Rikku VS Ninja

 

__________________________________________________________________________________

The Elegant Demon Shinboi Takashi Sandahamna VS Rikku Ryusaki The Bullpen Dragon.

The final battle of the tournament. Rikku is completely exhausted from his fight with Kenshiro VS Takashi who is completely fresh.

The first half of the fight is basically Rikku getting wrecked. He's gassed and running on fumes and can barely lift his arms. Takashi meanwhile is under orders from Angelo to make an example out of him.

Rikku gets thrashed for most of the fight until he's able to finally land a decent shot and get some breathing room to finally try something crazy. He adapts the Earth School's technique of drawing energy from the Earth. He combines this with the self-hypnosis technique he experienced in the first round to increase his muscle mass a little bit and force his body back into fighting condition. Rikku himself notes that he's going to feel like crap tomorrow but it's his only prayer at winning. 

It's a patch job, the same he's been doing throughout the tournament, but it gives him a fighting chance. The real final battle begins now between him and Takashi. It's still a major uphill battle though and Rikku has to fight for every inch of ground he gains. It's a very violent fight that goes back and forth between them for a while until Takashi manages to slam an attack on Rikku that messes up his arm. Except Rikku read his moves and allowed that arm to be broken just so he could get into position to slam him down while pouring all of his remaining power into one last all out limit breaking desperation punch.

He has to eat a hard hit himself in order to land it but it's worth it. The Armor Piercing Dragon Bullet does its job and lands. Rikku is left completely wiped out afterword and Takashi is launched across the ring where he lands on his back. Both fighters are down and the announcer is counting down. On the count of 9, Rikku manages to stand back up. One arm broken. One arm completely messed up. His whole body thrashed. He still manages to stand. Takashi nearly does as well but unfortunately he falls down to his knees clutching his chest in pain. It might not have completely knocked him out but it was enough to bring him down for 10 Seconds.

The tournament is over.

Rikku Ryusaki has won. He raises his burned up arm in the air and clenches it in a fist while he takes a deep breath and lets loose a mighty roar. 

"BUUUULLLLLLPEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!"
