"Here we are ladies and gentlemen, this is what you've all been patiently waiting for!" Yelled the world famous announcer. His familiar voice ringing out over the electronic tannoy system, "we have for your viewing pleasure two of the most skilled fighers on the earth today, both willing to duke it out for your entertainment, and a chance to win fame and fortune here at the Word Martial Arts Championships!" The crowds roared with anticipation, the excitement in the air coming close to tangible as each fan spurred the atmosphere on. "So, without further ado, here come your two contestants. On my left, we have the lovely, nubile bohemian, Patricia Ender! As the only woman to make it to the tournament, it's been rumored that a lot of women have high bets placed on Patricia to win. But, standing in her way, to my right, is the Red Ribbon Army officer, Kyosuke Jay! Perhaps one of the most over dressed men to be participating, the odds have been drawn against this man, however, we may all yet be stunned by what we see from these two fighters today!" He had whipped the crowds into a frenzy now, reputations, money, bragging rights and a good show were all on the line now, and the announcer was sure he would not be disappointed.

"Alright, I've had word from the head, we're all set to go, so lets not delay any longer! On your marks, get ready, Fight!" With a vigerous hand signal, and a quick turn to jump out of the ring. The fight was now officially, on.

Jay watched intently as the woman, Patricia he believed her name was, stepped out onto the fighting ring. He studied her movements during their brief conversation, noting how she was a practiced martial artist, he needed to figure in what style so he could formulate a plan of attack. The crowd was loud and rowdy, almost making Jay smirk at the atmosphere he was in as he was announced as being overdressed for the tournament. He looked around at the cheering people around them, his eyes quickly noting general details about their postures and gestures, looking to spot anybody that looked too serious or over joyed to be there that wasn't fighting. Piercing brown eyes settled back onto the woman before him as he didn't go into a stance, hoping it'd throw her off guard as he slowly slipped on some fingerless gloves.

"Ready?" Jay asked in a low tone of voice.
