36 Chapter 36 : The Dream Team (2/2)

Geralt ran at Zoro first. He balanced on one foot and twisted into a slash. When Geralt's back turned, Sasuke was in full view of Zoro. He struck Zoro, who blocked his strikes, but when he did, Sasuke was disappearing while Geralt came in from the side. He got a great strike in on Zoro. But they weren't finished. The Dream Team continued twisting like a ballerina, alternating their strikes, in sync like a knife through butter. Jack tried his luck from the other side, but it was the same outcome. The champions weren't the only team that could make an unorthodox style.

Zoro fell to his knees. Jack pulled back. Sasuke and Geralt had been pushing them into a corner for a while now. When Sasuke proposed this technique to Geralt in round two, he didn't like it too much, but Sasuke assured him it would work. This way of fighting was similar to his new style. Widdle down the opponent. Patience. Then, deliver the blow.

When Jack fell to his knees in fatigue. Sasuke unbuckled himself. He raced at Jack. Geralt raced towards Zoro. Right before the finishing strike, Jack yelled, ”I SURRENDER. YOU GOT ME.”

Geralt and Sasuke stopped. The crowd looked puzzled. Could they surrender? No one had ever done that before. No less the champions.

Jack looked at the scary man that held the championship. ”You never said we couldn't forfeit the match my good sir. Therefore, I surrender.”

The man looked like he was cheated, but Jack was right. He never said anything. The crowd began to boo at Jack, tossing whatever they had at him. They wanted to see blood. Jack grabbed Zoro and limped out of the arena. Sasuke and Geralt were still confused.

”um....THIS WASN'T THE OUTCOME WE DESIRED, BUT LETS HEAR IT FOR OUR NEW CHAMPIONS!!!!” The pierced man grabbed Geralt and Sasuke, pushing them onto the riser where he stood. He presented them with a pool of money as promised. The crowd roared for the Dream Team. Even though they didn't kill them, they still won. Sasuke smiled at Geralt. He held his fist to Geralt, who was puzzled. Sasuke had to grab Geralt's fist, he bumped them together. ”Nice fight teammate.”

After wounds were patched,

Aya met Sasuke outside the arena.

”You did amazing! I knew you could win it!!” She hugged him with a suffocating grasp.

Sasuke couldn't breath. ”uuuhhhh... Sto.....stop.....MOM!!!”

Aya pulled back quickly, looking into Sasuke's eyes. She didn't expect that. Sasuke's eyes were shocked. He didn't mean to say that. ”I'm Sorry. I didn't mean to. I just..I don't....I”

Aya hugged him again and laughed. ”I already have one Uchiha kid. I won't mind another.” Aya softly whispered.

Sasuke was surprised, but also grateful. Maybe he yearned for his parents more than he thought.

She released him and grabbed his shoulders just like Kenji. ”It's fine. We still have a lot of time together, so lets get to know each other more, Ok? Sasuke?”

Sasuke was hesitant, but he squeaked out ”Okay.”

Geralt stood there awkwardly. He was still here by the way. ”Ummmm.”

Aya and Sasuke broke from their touching moment. ”I'm so sorry Geralt.”

Aya had an idea. ”Do you have any plans Geralt?”

”Mmmmm, not really.”

”Why don't you travel with us? I'm sure Sasuke would appreciate it. And maybe we can figure out a way to retrieve your memories.”

Geralt thought for a minute. He looked at Sasuke. He had to admit, he loved the competitive nature of Sasuke. ”That sounds good. Where to?”

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets. ”Wherever the wind takes us, I guess. Right?” He turned to Aya.

”That sounds good.” Aya stared into the sky. She wondered how Kenji and Rei were faring. ”That sounds good.” She whispered.

I felt like I was all over the place in this one, and damn that was long. Don't beat me up too bad. Still feel like my fight scenes suck, but oh well. I wanted to get these chapters moving along to get to the good stuff. Rei has a few chapters next and Kenji will have some after, then we'll get into it, so I don't want it to get boring. I felt like I nailed Jack, but not Zoro. Eh it'll be ok. Don't really remember that much about young Zoro. I just remember he was hardcore. Haven't watched One Piece in a while. I hope this was at least interesting to read. Rei's will be pretty trippy also. I'm out. YERRR!
