A Warrior's Call [PT4]

[Rui]

A warrior is one who held true to his word. Kansei had fit every bit of this description, donned is the best armor his country, the Land of Iron, had to provide. He was a man who wanted the best for his country, and the world. But there were some people who objected, and wanted cause problems. It was his task to eliminate these types of people. If he could refrain from killing, he would, but those who stand against him will ultimately have to face his blade. Placing his hand on its hilt, he would let the vermin speak before he took him out.

“Any last words?”

There was nothing wrong with fighting, especially when you were as bored as I had been. Fox beside my foot, I scratched at my head while staring across at the armor clad man before unscrupulously yawning. I'd been measuring the distance between us during that short stint and a good fifteen meters separated the two of us. Rouge let out a shrill yawn that signaled she was just as unimpressed as I was.

"You look stupid," I quipped before falling into a battle stance.

Kansei dashed forth toward Fawkes, a foreign power surging through his body as he split congregated winds with fleeting speed. His hand had still been clenched to his blade, him synchronizing with it to prepare for his first strike. The man would have the honor of being buried with their words, as he patterned onward at them, his run erratic, and forming connected triangles as he approached.

Unmoved, I watched as the sword wielding robot arrogantly bounded in my direction. I didn't look but I could feel Rouge looking up at me for guidance, and I would provide just that. My hands came together to form a single seal that would immediately cause a puff of smoke to encompass my companion, eventually clearing to reveal perfect replica of myself.¹ The replica (Rouge) stood by my side and remained just as nonchalant as I was, albeit poised for battle.

Meanwhile, I formed another seal that my opponent may or may not have recognized due to the aforementioned theatrics.² The resulting gesture would leave my body encompassed in a shimmering blue aura while I progressively hunched down toward the ground to assume an almost animalistic stance, watching my prey intently as he mvoed closer to my position. My nails had grown significantly as a result along with my canines, which became more pronounced as well.

With each passing step, Kansei converged toward Fawkes, but upon breaching five meters, his movement had stopped, him halting and his legs remaining stationary as he fired off a horizontal beam of chakra as the duo hunched down on all fours against the ground. Sliding ten meters back in a blur to his original position, he charged forward, this time straight, once more, preparing to deliver his second attack.

Though the distance between had been devoured quickly by our attacker, it did him no favor as it simply placed him that much closer to us. Our transformation had been deliberate but quick/ Rouge's took far less than my own thus she instinctively darted toward my opponent upon completing the change.

He was about ten meters away at the time but we eventually found ourselves on the receiving end of a chaka-based projectile, eliciting a set of evasive maneuvers that would leave the two of us bounding like savages in his direction. Being keeled over like an animal allowed the two of us to dart forward at incredible speeds while remaining agile and elusive, thus the sight of the beam prompted Rouge to leap over it during her mad dash. She wouldn't miss a beat and her leap almost resembled a pounce that left her darting toward our adversary.

In the meantime I had completed my transformation and soon took off in his direction similarly to Rouge. I too would leap over the beam during my stride to continue closing in on him. And though he quickly maneuvered backward, he would nonetheless find himself quickly enveloped in our presence. We had been moving at speeds no normal man could ever dream to attain, shinobi or not.

I was probably seven meters away and closing in due to his retreat but Rouge zoomed toward him at no more than four. He would have to act quickly in order to counter what was to come.

Kansei had successfully accomplished his plan. Had they dodged by moving backward, they would not have to worry about his upcoming strike. Nevertheless, they did not, and it would cost them. With them closing in distance, they brought themselves into the range of his next attack. It would all happen in a flash. Taken a few steps forward as they closed in, he met them half way, directly in front of Rogue.

His sword flickered, near-instantaneously, slicing through the fox impersonating its master, with his blade sheathed in the blink of an eye. Surely, it would be dead. Next, was the man. Being that he is was only three meters behind his pet, as Kansei approached, he withdrew his blade once more, and he would deliver a meager upward slash, yet forged with power. It would slice clean through him if he continued forward.

It was alarming, even for me, to see my companion be completely severed in half -- and so quickly. But just as soon as that occurred, I too felt myself beneath the warrior's blade. It was an embarrassing defeat, as I laid beside my fallen companion.
