The Shonen Colosseum I: Hiei Vs. Sasuke

The Shonen Colosseum I: Hiei Vs. Sasuke

(A/N: A MAJOR change has been made to this first chapter.  Mainly, the intro has this take place right after the Christmas special written much later.  Read this to make sense of the context.)

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first match up of contestants for the tournament quarterfinals!" the announcer said.

The two combatants stared at each other. One staring at his opponent's red eyes and the other staring at his opponent's crimson eyes. The crimson eyed warrior drew his sword.

"Ready, Set, GO!" the announcer yelled.

The crimson eyed warrior swung his sword in the air, but he didn't appear to move. The red eyed warrior spoke. "Is that all you got? Heh. This will be over before you can even react. I'll turn fantasy into reality!"

The crimson eyed warrior replied. "Is that all you have to say? They're last words, you know."

"What?" the red eye warrior said.

"Heh. Your whole nervous system leaves much to be desired." the crimson eyed warrior said.

The red eye warrior looked down and saw he was already cut.

"What? When did he..."

"Your eyes are rather slow. Too bad."

This is Hiei.  The man who just got cut is Sasuke.  They were both busy fighting heavily at the annual Shonen Tournament, this year being hosted by Monkey D. Luffy.

"And the fighting is intense here!" Announcer Luffy stated.

How did we get here?

The answer?  Well, Luffy and Yusuke FINALLY decided to charge into Launch Base Zone to take down Dr. Robotnik once and for all!  However... the mad doctor had other plans.

Upon stepping foot on the shore, Robotnik said, "Wait, is that it?  Are you just going to sit back there and take this all in?  I thought you were all fighters!"

Usopp replied in kind. "Shut up, doctor!  It's not our fault that this entire series is being retconned!"

Robotnik merely snapped his fingers. "BEHOLD: ROBOTROPOLIS MK. II!!!"

A massive colosseum began rising from the pits of the lake that lay before the crew members.  A landmass itself soon followed, making what appeared to be an island in an island.

Robotnik then said, "Since I'm greatful for the wonderful Christmas you guys held, I've decided to have you guys run a Colisseum for a little while.  You know: see what the fights are like from the spectator side of things.

"What if we want to fight instead?" Zoro asked.

"Well then go nuts.  What do I care?" Eggman replied.

Zoro thought about it. "A Colisseum, huh?" He grinned sadistically. "Sounds like fun."

So basically, the Straw Hat Fleet pulled a Foxy and commandeered the entire place, having it run well again.  In the midst of all that, Ryuko asked, "Uh... are you sure this is a good idea?"

"What could possibly go wrong?" Luffy asked.

Yusuke looked in the sky and asked, "Uh, rubber dude?  Isn't that the crazy clown from before?"

"OHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!" Kefka made himself known.  "Well then, if you MUST have a fight, THEN ALLOW ME TO TEAR THE WHITE VOID APPART!!!"

Having warped out of there, soon, hero after hero started showing up.  The stadium began filling up with people itching to watch shit go down, or make shit go down.

Luffy put a bow tie on and grabbed a mic. "Okay, I think I'll host... yeah..."

Hiei soon grabbed a card. "Hm... this is quite odd... apparently, it's an eight person bracket, with duels the entire way... and I'm one of the first contestants... but who is next?"

"You REALLY don't want to know the answer to that..."

Hiei turned around, and saw before him a certain black-haired assassin from Konoha. "Oh... THIS should be good..."

Back to now.

Hiei back stepped. "I do believe it is time that you began to fight more seriously now."

Sasuke merely scoffed. "Do you really want that?  Do you really want me to go the next level?"

"I don't suppose why not." Hiei answered.

"WE GET IT ALREADY!!  THE BOTH OF YOU ARE STOIC BLACK-HAIRED DUDES!!  GET OVER YOURSELVES!!" This came from an audience dude with pink hair, and a Fairy Tail sign.  AKA: Natsu Dragneel: Fairy Tail's posterboy, and fire breathing enthusiast. He was also in the next quarterfinals match up.

Hiei scoffed. "That's it: time to go in for the kill." And so, he tried to slice Sasuke. When Hiei felt his sword hit something, he looked up and saw he hit purples ribs. "What?" Hiei said

"Heh. Out of all the foes I have ever faced, you're the first that's had me on my knees. I didn't think I'd have to use Susanoo on someone like you," Sasuke said.

"What, may I ask, could Susanoo possibly be?" Hiei asked. "Is it similar to the Dragon of the Darkness Flame?"

(A/N: For those of you who have never seen Naruto in your life, Susanoo is essentially a huge aura skeleton beast that completely dominates as far as offense and defense goes.  In exchange, however, it physically exhausts the user in question, even having them accumulate self damage.)

"Susanoo is what's going to be the death of you," Sasuke simplified.

At that, Hiei smirked sadistically. "Oh, really?  Must you be so formal about this?" He then pointed his sword forward. "Well then, if this is indeed the, as you call it, 'death' of me, then give me your best shot!"

"Okay, let's dance." Sasuke said.

"That's much better." Hiei said.  He then dashed forth, and sliced to the side.  But nothing happened. Hiei's sword then broke.

Sasuke laughed. "It'll take a lot more than that to penetrate Susanoo."

At that, Hiei sighed. "What is it with me and this move lately?" At that, he fully chanted, "Sword of the Darkness Flame." From the hilt, his blade ignited. "Now tell me: what does Susanoo translate to?"

Sasuke stared at Hiei.

"Oh, being rude are we?" Hiei said. "Guess I'll have to teach you some manners."

"This fight is getting pretty crazy!" Luffy the announcer said. "Let's hear from the audience what THEY have to say!"

A guy with spiked hair, an eyepatch, and captain clothes, said, "JUST FIGHT ALREADY!!"  This was Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of Squad 11 of the Gotei 13.  He was also in this tournament.

Natsu said, "This stuff is getting good!  I wish Lucy and Gray would have been here."

"There you have it!" Announcer Luffy said. "The fight is getting real now, folks."

"Alright," Hiei said, "I've heard enough from the Peanut gallery.  I'd love to see what Susanoo can do to me."

At that, Sasuke snapped. "If that's what you wish, then let's go!"

At that, the Susanoo striked downwards, causing a shockwave to form.  Hiei leaped upwards, and repeated his chant more fervently: "SWORD OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!!" He struck at the skull of the Susanoo.

Hiei saw nothing happened, however. "Heh. It's not that easy." Sasuke said.

But amazingly, Hiei held up a finger. "Just wait a minute.  You never know how this might go down."

"What?" Sasuke asked.

Hiei took the bandages off his arm. "Dragon of the Darkness Flame." Hiei engulfed himself in a massive black inferno, and began to overwhelm Sasuke. "Foolish human.  Do you not know who I am?"

Sasuke laughed, "Heh. That's not enough to penetrate Susanoo." Sasuke then redirected the dragon back at Hiei.

"Oh, such a fool you are..." Hiei said. The dragon overwhelmed Hiei.

"I'll have to admit. He was very tough, but it's over now." Sasuke said while deactivating Susanoo.  He then looked and saw something he wouldn't believe. "That's... impossible..."

"My my. What an impressive trick. Too bad all you did was waste energy. I have the power to blow you into oblivion." Hiei said

"No... You can't... win!" Sasuke said while charging at Hiei. Sasuke threw a punch, only to have Hiei catch his hand.   Hiei then began to drain him.  "My....chakra..." Sasuke said.

And so, Hiei started verbally bashing Sasuke. "Do you know where you went wrong?  First off, you sent the Black Dragon back to me, which is unbelievably foolish on your end.  Did you know that I am that dragon?  Deflecting that attack will not harm me at the slightest.  Secondly, why, oh why, would you ever turn off your Susanoo technique?  Was it because you just assumed that I was defeated, that you turned off your strongest ability?"

He then flash stepped in front of Sasuke. "And finally," he kicked Sasuke high up in the air, before jumping up and engulfing himself in black flames, "you made the mistake of ever thinking you could defeat Jaganshi Hiei!" With that, he prepared his arm. "DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!!" He sent the black inferno towards Sasuke, engulfing him.

Sasuke began to disintegrate. "I.. have... failed..."

Hiei laughed. "What a fool..."

"HIEI WINS!!" Luffy shouted.

Hiei then dropped to the ground and landed smoothly. "Now that I won, I must ask... what is next?"

Mass applause was held.

Hiei smirked, then started to pass out. "Now, if anyone needs me... I'll be taking... a... nap..." He conked out at the spot, falling asleep very quickly.

Zoro walked up to Luffy. "Uh, Luffy?"

"Yeah?" Luffy asked.

"That Hiei dude just killed a guy." Zoro noted.

Luffy just shrugged. "Eh... The Sasuke guy doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would just roll over dead.  I betcha he's just in that White Void we keep going through."

"If you say so..." Zoro said, before taking a swig of beer. "Anyways, who's next?"

Natsu from the seats made it to the battlefield.  He said, "Alright, I'm expecting a clean fight, so this should be good!"

"Don't expect me to go easy on ya!" Kenpachi made his presence known via jumping down to the ground, causing some tremors in the process.  He smiled sadistically. "Now... let the fun begin!"
