With all the sensei's freed and having them equipped with weapons we charged into the room my uncle was in.
There was a curved arch that supported nothing. My uncle and Finrak stood at the base of it.Watching was a sea of Shadows.
"Now my brethren!" cried Yong Ho
The Shadows hummed and a small ball of purple darkness swelled above them.
It grew larger and larger until it took up the space between the ceiling and Shadows.Finrak cried out and threw an invisible wave that crashed into the ball of darkness,crushing it against the space of the arch. A wall of purple filled it in.It pulsed as if it were alive.
"No!" I yelled.
"Oh, hello nephew. I forgot you were here." said Yong Ho
"You won't get away with this!" I yelled.
"I just did! Do see the Darkness gate behind me?" said Yong Ho
"I will kill you!" I screamed.
"Not if I kill you first. Kill them!" Hollered Yong Ho
The darkness gate unleashed creatures I have never seen before. They were almost like the leathery beasts we had killed to get here. The Shadows charged. We charged too. I had to kill him. 3. I had to destroy the gate of Darkness.2.
I had to. I had to. 1. Or else the Darkness gate would swallow up the world. I would die. 0. The two armies crashed into each other and exploded. The front lines flew into the air as they crashed into the other Shadows. I sliced a shadow down to the ground and stabbed another through the chest.
Shaunki parried a blow and stabbed another Shadow with his second sword.
Taren broke a Shadow's knee and then broke his jaw with a powerful swing from his staff. Rachel mowed down enemies with her double sided scythe. Honu summoned up fountains of death, throwing men in every direction,killing them,drowning them. Heni slashed down everyone that was in his way. Kira threw kunai like nobodies business. Shikinara plowed through the hordes of men with his earth drill attack. Neji flew over men and slashing them across the back. Shongi sucked the Shadows into the ground leaving their heads above ground to get trampled. Harsh.
I ran up a man's chest and kicked him straight in the jaw, throwing him across the battlefield. I stabbed a man in the shin. He knelt down and l leaped off of his head. "Fireball jutsu!" I cried, sailing through the air. A ball of fire appeared in my hand and I fell through the sky. Nothing could stop me. I swung my arm down into the sea of Shadows. I hit the ground and everything in a ten foot radius exploded. Men flew through the air, screaming.
Yong Ho saw me. His katana was in a man's chest. He shook him off his blade and charged. A man got in the way of Yong Ho. My uncle sliced diagonally up his chest. The man flew into the sky and Yong Ho let go of the blade to grab it so the sword was upside down. He then jabbed his sword into a man's stomach.
"Lightning surge!" I screamed.
My blade crackled with electricity. I used lightning energy to run faster. So fast that the lightning on my sword was sliding off and chasing after the blade. Yong Ho ran at me screaming. I swung my sword. The arc of lightning hit him first,then my blade. He cried out and kicked me back.
****************************************************************************
"Why hello Heni." said a man.
"Cloud." said Heni.
"How's my student been? I've missed you." said Cloud.
Cloud had white ,spiky hair and deathly white skin. Complete with weird piercings in his nose, lip, and ears.
"I will kill you." said Heni.
With that, he slashed at him. Cloud blocked it and kicked Heni back. Heni slid across the floor and jumped at him.
**********************************************************
Shaunki's hands were blue with electricity. He slammed his hands together, sending out a wave of lightning, overwhelming the group of Shadows in front of him. He pulled out his swords and slashed them to pieces. Shaunki was thrown into a wall by an invisible force.
"You are Leo's teacher. Correct?" said Finrak.
Shaunki got up. "Why do you ask?"
"I was given the task to kill him."
"Well that's me." said Shaunki.
Shaunki was immediately thrown across the room into a wall. The wall cracked. Shaunki threw his sword at Finrakand charged at him. Finrak stopped it with his hand. He pleasantly watched the sword skitter across the ground. But he didn't see Shaunki slice down at him. Finrak's shoulder split open. Finrak grasped the wound and pulled out a sword from his cloak. Shaunki grabbed his sword from the ground.
"Let's finish this."
*************************
I deflected a blow and sliced Yong Ho's thigh. He screamed and punched me in the face. I spit out some blood and looked at him. He slashed at me. I stepped back with each successful block. We locked blades.
"Why did you kill my family?" I yelled.
"They believed I wasn't the Chosen One! I had to show them! If I could kill one of the most powerful Families in the Fire Province I could kill the rest of them!" replied Yong Ho.
"How come I didn't know you were my uncle?" I said.
"I was shunned from the family! They all hated me!"
"That's because you thought you were The One! But it's actually me! It's been proved!" I said.
"No!"
With a strong push, I stepped back. Yong Ho sliced both of my shoulders then punched me in the jaw. I fell over and raised Remembrance above me. His sword smashed down again and again. I threw a ball of fire at him. It exploded, throwing him back. I scrambled to my feet and charged after him.
* * *
Heni blocked a blow and kicked Cloud in the shin.
"You have progressed. That's good."
Cloud punched Heni in the face and sliced him across the stomach. Heni winced in pain and sliced and stabbed.
"Not so fast!" laughed Cloud.
Cloud countered a slice and cut Heni's chin. Heni flew over him and threw his axe into Cloud's back. Cloud screamed and pulled it out.
"Ow!" said Cloud,"Where did you get that?"
"A friend."
Cloud sliced down at him. Heni blocked it and kicked him in the chest. Heni pulled out a kunai. Cloud slashed open Heni's leg. Heni dug his sword into Cloud's shoulder. Cloud jumped back,getting a nasty gash.
"You really have fight in you."
Heni threw an energized kunai. Cloud got it in the shoulder. It exploded. Dust flew everywhere. Cloud got out of it.
"I could fight you with my eyes closed!" yelled Heni, grabbing another knife.
"Oh really?" said Cloud.
Cloud swung at Heni's face. Heni cried out. His eyes. He couldn't see. Cloud had cut his eyes open. Heni took his headband and put it over his eyes.
"Let's do this"
********************************************
I blocked a slice and kicked Yong Ho and stabbed him through the arm.Yong screamed and unleashed a flurry of attacks. I was sliced and cut. Yong Ho finished off the combo with a kick to the head.
"You work too hard,Leo. you seem to torture yourself to the point of death. And that effort is smashed to the ground.
Why do you fight? Why? For justice? Love? Glory? Honor? Why? Why do you insist!"said Yong Ho.
I struggled to get up. I got up and staggered. My gates were unlocked. My hair turned gold and my eyes yellow.
"I fight for my friends."
With that, I slashed over and over. I threw everything at him, every technique,every punch,kick,every stab and cut.
We were almost dead. We had lost all of our energy. I raced around him and kicked him in the back. I flew to his front and kicked him in the stomach. I then tackled him into a wall. I punched him in the face. He head butted me and threw me into the wall.
"You will not defeat me!"
*******************************************
Heni sliced blindly. He blocked a blow from Cloud.
"Your doing good!" laughed Cloud.
Heni turned to the voice and was kicked in the side.
"Marco!"
Heni sliced in that direction.
"No dice."
Heni slashed behind him.
"Marco!"
Heni turned and stabbed Cloud in the stomach with a knife.
"Polo." whispered Heni.
Cloud pulled the knife out of him and disappeared into black smoke.
"Heni!" yelled Honu.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"I can't see." said Heni.
Honu pulled the headband up and placed his hands over his eyes. Heni smiled to see Honu's face.
"It's almost over Heni! We've almost won!"
********************************************
I slashed open Yong's shoulder. He grabbed my hand and slammed it against the wall. I let go of Remembrance. Yong Ho grasped my throat,squeezing the life out of me. I choked and tensing the muscles in my neck. Yong Ho raised me off the ground. I clawed at his hands. I couldn't die! Not here. My gates locked up and my appearance faded away. No. I looked to see Shaunki kick Finrak to the ground. Honu threw all his energy at the Darkness gate.
The arch shattered and the purple portal exploded.
"No!" Yelled Yong Ho.
I Searched my pockets for something. Nothing.
"It's over. You've lost." I choked.
I grabbed at Yong. Yong Slapped my hand aside. I reached a pocket on his shoulder and got a knife. I then stabbed into his wrist. He let go of me and I dropped to the ground. I sucked in air. Finrak disappeared.
"You won this battle!" Yelled Yong Ho.
With that Yong Ho disappeared. At the same time I passed out.
