Matt Miller was being his being his usual dorky self in the simulation, living out another one of his Nyte Blayde fanfictions. In this particular one, the original Nyte Blayde has fallen and now Matt has to take his place. However, before he takes anything big, Matt must learn how to master Nyte Blayde's two swords; the Nocturne and the Sun Ra. Using the empty field by the old reactor as training grounds, Matt gracefully swung the two swords around...
At least Matt thought he was... He didn't know someone was watching.
"Is that how you swing your swords around? Like a spaz?"
"Excuse me?" Matt said with an offended tone, "And who are you to speak against the successor of the great Nyte Blayde?"
"You're kidding right?" It was clear that the voice was holding back a laugh. The shadow of the voice appeared in an alley, just chilled, leaning against the wall, "I bet I can beat you with one sword. What do you say?"
"One sword against my two? Not really a fair fight."
"With your shitty technique, you're right, it's not."
Matt gave out a small growl "Well if you're so great, why don't you show yourself?"
"As you wish~" And with a few steps out of the shadows the Ronin Leader revealed himself. His hand is wrapped around the grip of his sword, that was still in his jacket's scabbard. A lit cigarette dangled from his cocky grin. He spoke up, "Name's Shogo Akuji, what's yours?"
"Uh... Matt Miller," He wasn't sure how to react seeing the former Ronin leader. He has heard stories about Ronin from the other Saints, but didn't count on actually meeting one of them. So this was Shogo, huh? He was always thought of a leader who cared about his hair more than his gang. It should be easy to take him down.
"Miller huh? Alright then..." Shogo slid his katana out and pointed at Matt, "Want to fight?"
Figuring this would be an easy fight with his two swords, Matt nodded and charged at Shogo, a sword at each side. However Shogo was able to stop Matt by kicking him in the chest. Then Shogo was able to knock both swords out, breaking the Nocturne's blade in the process.
Matt fell, laying on the dirt, trying to process what just happened, Shogo stabbed his katana into the ground and sat on the other's stomach. Shogo then began to comment, "Wow, you had shitty swords if one of them was able to break like that."
Matt couldn't help but to interrupt, "No they're not, they're the best as both Nyte Blayde and my former gang was able to use them. I just used them wrong, that's all."
"You were in a gang?" Shogo snorted, "And you used those fragile swords? Hate to break it to you, but fictional swords aren't the best swords."
"But this world isn't real, so they should work just great! Also can you do me a favour and bloody get off of me!"
"Nah, you're a comfy seat cushion. Maybe when you think of a reward for me, I'll get off. As for your swords working great in this world. They still didn't. Even if they did, with your crap stance and attack, you're going nowhere fast," Shogo pulled out his sword and cleaned it off.
"Fine," Matt huffed, "I'll give you whatever you want, just get off of me!"
Shogo raised an eyebrow, "Anything I want?"
"Yes, now get off!"
"I'm holding you to that then," Shogo got up off Matt and slid the katana back into the scabbard.
Matt sighed and grabbed the sword that didn't break and polished it up, "So what do you suggest I do to improve."
"Start out with one sword. You'll have more control. If you want, I can take you to a place that can help."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Just ditch the geeky cosplay."
"No!"
Shogo gave small shrug, "Your loss then. I guess you don't want to be great as... Whoever you warship."
"Nyte Blayde! And I don't warship him, I admire him!"
"Yeah, whatever. Him. Do you want to take the offer or not?"
Matt shook his head as he gave out a baffled expression, "What in the- Why- Yes. Why are you even helping me out."
Shogo gave out a small chuckle, "I could help but to feel bad seeing you swing your swords around like dork. I guess I'm feeling generous today and want to help you out."
Matt's face went face went red in frustration. He tried throwing the sword into the ground, only to have it tip over delicately, causing another chuckle to come out of Shogo. Matt looked to the side and folded his arms like a toddler throwing a tantrum, "F-fine, I'll change clothes and take you up on your offer, but nothing funny better happen!"
Shogo went up and pinched Matt on the cheek, "Aren't you cute~ But good. I'll give you time because It looks like you need a can opener to get through that armor. Meet me in front of Nobody Loves me when you're done. Got it?"
Matt slapped Shogo's hand away, "Yeah, yeah. I got it mate."
"Don't leave me waiting!" And with that Shogo left, leaving Matt alone with his thoughts.
"Why do have a feeling I might regret this?"
