Ryu arrived at Tokyo around dusk. As the sun had begun to set in the mountains, Ryu hurried thought the town.
He knew better that to head strait to the Aoi building, getting a little information first would come in handy. Ryu knew just were to go to find the information he might need.
The old shop stood as a memory of a time gone by a long time ago as it stood between the skyscrapers and newer buildings. An old Japanese styled building, yet its sharp glowing neon sign told that it was still in drift.
Muramasa's, the sign said in the colors of neon green and red.
Ryu smiled as he stood outside of the shop. If anyone would know if the Black Spiders had made a move like moving someone important into Tokyo, the old man would know of it.
Ryu would not have minded having a shop like this of his own. He had always taken a great deal of interest in old Japanese things. Muramasa had often taken the time to teach him about things like that, during Ryu's childhood when ever Muramasa was in the village.
It was right around closing hours and Ryu knew they would be alone and able to talk undisturbed.
Slowly sliding the door a side, he entered through it and looked around. The shop seemed empty at first looks yet Ryu knew the old man has here somewhere. As he closed the door behind him a bell on the door rang.
"Hai hai." a voice called from a back room. Out of the room came an older man, dressed in a pretty simple suit. On his head he wore a scarf that were tied up behind his head. The man were quite small of height and as his look turned upwards to met Ryu's eyes, the white brows lifted themselves as he recognized the ninja in front of him.
"Well, I don't believe it. If it isn't Ryu." The old man smiled surprised. Ryu looked down at him and smiled faintly under his mask.
"Muramasa.." Ryu only said. The old man signaled for him to sit down.
"So what brings you here?" Muramasa asked, knowing that there would be something Ryu would be needing if he came to him.
"The Black Spider Ninjas.." Ryu said shortly.
"Yes.. They move around a lot these days." The old man said shaking his head.
"You seen them?" Ryu asked, his eyes narrowed.
"Yes it would seem the Black Spider Ninjas are split in two groups now.." The old man said sitting down. "I saw two groups of them fighting each other the other night." Ryu looked down into the floor thinking.
"Have you heard anything about the Aoi building?" Ryu asked. Muramasa looked at him for a second.
"Well I saw a larger group of Black Spider Ninjas heading there just a few nights ago.. but how did you know that were one of their hideouts?" He asked a bit surprised. Ryu's eyes changed slightly as if there were a hint of softness to them.
"I heard it from a reliable source." He only said before his eyes turned cold again.
"I was also told there was an important person to the clan that were broth there.."
"That would explain why they seemed so hasty.." Muramasa said striking his white beard. Ryu looked at him.
"You don't know anything about who then?" He asked. The old man shook his head.
"No.. no, that I do not, but that tells us that he must be very important, since they are keeping who he is such a secret. You should be careful if you are going after them." Muramasa said. Ryu nodded slowly.
"Have you heard anything about a man named Mujou?"
"That name on the other hand I have heard of." Muramasa said and seemed worried.
"Apparently the leader of one of the two groups the Black Spider Ninjas are now split into. From what I hear he is trying to take over as the leader of the clan, and has gathered a whole group of them under himself. The other group is trying to prevent this.
A power hungry and cold hearted man that will just as easily kill his fiends as his enemies for power.. and from what I also heard he has gotten hold of something that gives him great strength. Something big is gonna happen here in Tokyo, now that both groups of Black Spiders are here.." Muramasa said and the worry was clear to see on his face. Ryu nodded again. If this was correct and Mujou were in Tokyo. Then it would probably not belong before he was gonna go to the Aoi building to kill the person the other group of Black Spiders tried to protect.
"I have to stop him." Ryu said thinking, not knowing that he was talking to himself.
"Indeed, it would seem that Mujou person is gonna be nothing but trouble later.. but if you are heading out, then you would be needing a few things." Muramasa smiled and stood up before hurrying over to a corner in the shop where he had a lot of boxes.
"You cant go head to head against two armies of angry Black Spider ninjas without taking a few extra blades with you." The old man smiled as he looked up as Ryu came over to him.
"Aah." Ryu said, glad for Muramasa's help once again. The old man started to pull out a bunch of different weapons. all in witch he knew that Ryu knew how to wield well.
"So what do you want? the Kusari-gama? the Dragon Claw and Tiger Fang? or the Lunar staff?" The old man's eyes shined proud to show of the weapons he had kept for Ryu. Ryu smiled and took out the two weapons he had a feeling he would be needing apart from his Dragon Sword.
"Ah the Falcon's Talons and the Vigoorian Flails. Close and personal I see." Muramasa said with a smile. "I expect you will be needing close range weapons, if you are thinking of battling your way through the Aoi building. You would be doing a lot of battling in narrow stairwells." He said. Ryu nodded slightly.
"Ah, while you are here.. Let me have a look at your Dragon Sword." Muramasa said. Ryu drew the blade and handed it to him.
"Aiai, just as I thought. Battling fiends as hard as you do, the sword sadly has to take the hurt of it. Let me just fix this up quickly for you, you can take a look at the Elixirs while you wait." The old man said looking at the damage the blade had taken. Muramasa was not just a old traveling shopkeeper, but he was also a swords smith as well as a deadly sword fighter himself. The old man left, taking the Dragon Sword into the back to make it even stronger, as Ryu looked over what he would need of healing Elixirs and similar. Taking with him a few things Ryu sat down. He looked into the wall not really looking and thought of what he had learned.
He had now confirmed that the person Mujou was after, was here and in the Aoi building, as well as the fact that Mujou himself was in Tokyo.. The question was now, when would Mujou strike? Was it already to late? Had he missed his chance? At the same time it would not help of he was way to early... Ryu shook his head. Thinking about this would in the long run not help. From what he understood Mujou was not of the patient type. If he had attacked the Aoi building already, then Ryu would probably find him in the Black Spider ninja village. If not, then he was probably not far of. Ryu looked up as Muramasa returned with his sword.
"There you go, good as new, even better if I can say so myself." The old man said and handed him the Dragon Sword. as Ryu took hold of it, he smiled. The blade was shining and there was no marks or chips in in anymore.
"Thank you." Ryu said and handed him the payment for the work as well as the equipment.
"You just make sure to return safely and to teach those Black Spider ninjas a lesson. Keeping people up at night, like that." Muramasa growled. Ryu smiled under his mask even as it was not showing.
"Aah." He said and bowed down before leaving the shop.
"Good luck.." He heard Muramasa say low as Ryu closed the door. Night had now fallen and the city shined in the darkness. Ryu looked around before he hurried of towards the Aoi building and to what ever awaited him there.
At first look there seemed to be nothing signaling that the Black Spiders would be here. The skyscraper seemed quiet and still. The lights turned onto the building made it seem like the building was glowing blue, explaining one of it's namesakes. Usually the building was only used as offices, and as Ryu had learned now at least the higher floors where owned by the Black Spider clan.. His eyes narrowed as he looked upwards towards the top floors. Looking over the building nothing seemed to be out of place but Ryu knew that the higher floors could already have been colored red..
Deciding that it would only take to much time and there was no reason to do so, Ryu decided to make a way into one the higher floors skipping over most of the offices floors. He had already found how. Making his way quickly over to the next building, a grand hotel, Ryu moved as a shadow, keeping himself unseen. His target was a glass elevator that went to the top on the outside of the hotel and the elevator went up right next to the Aoi building.
Ryu waited as the elevator stood still on the ground floor and watched. Just as someone opened the elevator door and luckily for him, were going to the top floor, he jumped on to the top of the elevator and crouched down. As the elevator moved upwards, Ryu looked into the Aoi building floors. As expected the first 20 floors were all offices and all of them were dark, from there the last 10 had few lights on but Ryu's trained eyes could see ninjas moving around in there. His eyes narrowed when he could see right into the top floor of the Aoi building. There was very little light on, probably to make no one believe anyone was there, yet Ryu knew. The elevator came to a stop on the hotel's top floor and Ryu had to make his decision. There seemed like nothing was going on right now, but there was something in him that told him not to wait. As the elevator suddenly started to move down Ryu made up his mind to follow his gut on this. He waited until the elevator had passed the top ten floors.
Waiting til the last second, Ryu took his chance and leaped. By using the elevators speed as it was going down, jumping of it made him lighter, making his jump go up and then forward. Ryu quickly, while still in the air, pulled out a few shurikens and threw them into the glass he was headed to. The stars weakened the strong glass and as Ryu curled himself together and hit the glass with his back first, the glass shattered without harming him. Sliding to a stop on the floor, as glass rushed around him, Ryu quickly looked around. He had come to what Ryu guessed was the 18'th floor. Close to where the Black Spiders were and yet not close enough for them to notice just yet that he was there.
Suddenly hearing voices Ryu rushed for cover. Drawing his sword, he quickly got behind a desk and looked around the corner. Two Black Spider ninjas were running to where the window were broken.
"Something came thought here.. or someone.." One of them said looking around for what it had been holding one of the stars.
"We better report this." The other said, drawing up a radio. As his companion looked around and had his face turned away, Ryu rushed out from his hiding place, and took of the ninja's head before he could even turn. His radio broke as it hit the floor. The other ninja turned and had barely enough time to draw his own blade before Ryu was over him. The ninja managed only to block two of his attacks before Ryu got in a hit that took of one of his arms. Before he could scream out Ryu took his head of. As the ninja fell to the floor, Ryu looked around.
[Two guards so far.. and there are probably more on the way up to the next two.. The longer I can go unnoticed before I reach the 20'th floor, the better.] He growled low. Hurrying though the 18'th floor Ryu quickly found his way to the stairs and moved silently up towards the 19'th.
Coming up Ryu looked around quickly. This would be the last floor before the floors owned by the Black Spider clan. The floor was as expected a simple office floor, and again there was nothing telling that anything had happened yet. The floor was in order, and there was no signs of any battle.
[Have I come to early?] Ryu wondered silently as he was moving carefully towards the next set of stairs next to him, looking out for any of more guards.
Just as he reacted the stairs a voice cried out. Turning quickly to his left Ryu saw two more Black Spider ninja run towards him. Lowering himself down Ryu got ready. Just as the two were almost over him, Ryu slashed towards them. His blade cut across the first one's waist making him fall backwards and hit his friend. Ryu stood up quickly and jumped down towards the other one, that were still standing and the Dragon Sword cut him in half. His friend tried to get back up, but Ryu struck the blade through his chest killing him of. Looking around again Ryu found that these two had been the only ones on the floor. Standing up he swung his blade making the blood fly of it, before sheathing it again.
"All teams report in! All teams head towards the lower floors, we have intruders!" A radio on one of the dead ninjas screamed out, making Ryu jump. Quickly looking to the radio, Ryu sighed and rushed towards the stairs again.
[So it begins.] He thought quickly making his way up the stairs. He came to a stop half way up the stairs, listening. a large group of Black Spider ninjas were coming down the stairs. Realizing that he had a few minutes before they would reach him, he drew open his bag and pulled out the Falcon Talons. Quickly equipping them, Ryu got ready.
All to soon the first of the Black spider ninjas spotted him.
"It's the Dragon Ninja!"
"Get him!"
"Don't let him leave this floor!" The ninjas called as they began to rush towards him. Ryu's eyes shined dangerously as he stood still, just waiting for them to come close enough. as soon as the first ones were closing in Ryu dashed forward and slashed his way into them.
the first five fell in splats of blood just a few seconds after wards. they had no chance to defend as fast as Ryu was. just as Ryu slowed down the next 6 tired to corner him up against the wall. Ryu slashed into the first of them taking of his arm and then sank the talons into his chest before kicking, spinning his foot around, taking of his head with the claws on his foot. before the next one could react Ryu slashed over his chest sending him backing of away from him. Ryu turned to the next one and slashed into him with speed and strength. the ninja got hit a few good dozen times before suddenly one of the others manged to slash Ryu across his side. Ryu pulled away as the ninja he had been hitting fell to the ground dead. The wound on his side was not to deep but it was bleeding. The pain from the wound only made Ryu's anger grow and he lowered himself down. The Black Spider ninjas were pulling back a little as a group of those standing on top of the stairwell, threw Incendiary Shurikens towards him. Ryu ducked under the shuriken and they hit the wall behind him. Still gathering his strength Ryu counted the seconds.
Then suddenly he rushed up the stairs and slashed into the ninjas, just as the Incendiary Shurikens tore the wall apart, sending bits and pieces towards them. Some of the rocks and bits hit the Black Spider ninjas, distracting their deference and Ryu could kill them of.
Soon after the group of Black Spider ninjas were dead. The stairs were filled with corpses and chopped of limbs. The stairs and walls were colored red of splats of blood. Ryu stood still, breathing ever so slightly strained. He shook his hands, making the blood on the Talons color the walls even more. Silently leaving the stairs Ryu made his way into the next floor. Just as he walked on he passed the elevator, Ryu payed it no mind but the elevator was heading down. Quickly after Ryu found the next set of stairs, Guarded by a new crew of ninjas.
[It's gonna be a long night.] Ryu thought silently as the Spider ninjas rushed towards him.
Ryu had made his way up to the 29th floor and stood in a pool of blood. Around him lay what remained after a large group of Black spider ninjas and their ninja dogs. Every floor had been filled with ninjas and every floor had tougher and tougher enemies. Ryu was breathing hard, the Talons were dripping with blood as well. Ryu was covered in blood, both his own but mostly from his enemies. Ryu opened his bag and took out one of the Elixirs of Spiritual Life up. Taking a good sip of it, Ryu gave a sigh of relive as he felt his wounds were starting to close and his exhaustion were going away. Taking of the Falcon Talons, Ryu placed them back in the bag and took out the Vigoorian Flails. Standing up again Ryu started to move towards the next set of stairs, when his ears picked up on the static sound of a radio. He looked around and found it laying on the floor. Shaking his head slightly Ryu hurried up the stairs and towards the next floor and the ninjas waiting there. Just as he left a voice cut though the static.
"We need back up! We cant hold them of for much long...Aaarg!"
Ryu met his next sett of enemies as soon as he entered the stairs. This time Ryu wasted no time and dashed into the first big group of them. Swinging the Vigoorian Flails from hand to hand, Ryu cut his way into them and though them as the blood sprayed over the walls as limbs began to fly. Seeing this more of the ninjas rushed down towards him, at the same time as some of the backed up scared.
"Don't fall back, stand your ground, he is just one man!" Others called and rushed towards Ryu. Ryu took them on head on and as some of them jumped over him to get behind him, Ryu swung the Flails around his body keeping their blades from hitting him and killing those in front of him. Forcing the group of Black Spider ninjas to back up in the stairwell, he hear one of them curse angry.
"We have the high ground, so why cant we stop him?" That only made his eyes shine, as he gathered his strength and unleashed one of the Ultimate attacks with the Flails and effectively cut his way though the group of ninjas and came to a stop on top of the stairs. The last floor was quite large with only one door into the next room. Ryu guessed this building was mostly used for meetings, not really to hide someone in. The floor was filled with Black Spider ninjas, all of them at least class B ninjas. Ryu's eyes narrowed and he got ready, lowering his body.
"Get him!"
"Don't let him get farther!"
"Protect the room!" The ninjas called to each other, they were willing to give their lifes to stop him. Ryu stood completely still as they rushed towards him. Unleashing yet another Ultimate technique, Ryu made his way into the middle of the room. His attack was broken when one large ninja dog manged to duck under the blade and then jump him. Ryu landed on the floor with the large black dog over him, snapping after his neck. Two more dogs rushed into him, one of them sank his teeth into his left leg and started to pull as the other one snapped after his arms. Cursing angry Ryu tried to hold the first dog away from him, before he sank the Flails into the head of the other one snapping after his arms. As the dog fell to ground with a loud whine, Ryu used his right foot and gave the first dog a powerful kick to the stomach and kicked him of him. Getting up again, Ryu took hold of the Dragon Sword and killed the dog holding his foot. Ryu jumped to his feet as soon as he was free and blocked the attacks from the Black Spider ninjas that had moved in on him. The remaining and last dog tried to jump him again only to have his head firmly cut of as well as his master's. Quickly jumping out of the way for the next group, Ryu made some room and unleashed yet another Ultimate attack at them. Ryu jumped up and spun his body around, the wind blades created hit quite a good few of the ninjas sending them to the floor ether dead or badly hurt.
"Don..nt give up.. We must.. protect.. the room.. at any.. cost." One of the ninjas gasped as he forced himself up. Ryu had to be impressed with their will to keep fighting, As more of them stood up and they tried to corner him again. Ryu stood still for a second, making up his next move when he felt a blade cut his arm. Growling Ryu turned and killed the ninja that had done it, before rushing into those that remained. Few seconds later, the only ones alive were unable to get back up. Ryu looked around and swung his sword around coloring the floor with even more blood. Quickly taking one last sip of the Elixir, Ryu looked at the looked door and walked up to it.
Ryu rushed into the room, his hand on the Dragon sword hilt, ready to fight. The room was half dark, the only light came from two candle lights standing by the room wall, between then sat a man. Ryu could see this man was short just by looking at him. The man sat with his back to Ryu, meditating. Ryu moved closer not removing his hand from the sword.
"I knew you would be coming for me, I was not just not expecting it at this time, this soon." A voice spoke up, making Ryu draw his blade. The voice was far younger than Ryu had expected. As the man turned around and looked at him, Ryu froze to the ground.
What he had believed was a short man proved to be a young boy about the age of 15. He was dressed in a Black Spider ninja suit. The marks of the Black Spider clan on it, were in a blood red color, setting him apart from the others. Yet it was his face that froze Ryu to the ground. The boy's hair were of a silver grey color, it was half long in length, yet it stood out in all directions. A pair of pink eyes looked at him angry. The resemble was striking to that of Genshin, and it surprised Ryu to no end.
"Arion-ame-sama!" A voice called and three of the ninja's that had tired to prevent Ryu from entering, rushed into the room and infront of the young boy. Even as badly wounded as they were, they were still ready to give their lifes to protect their young leader. Ryu looked at the boy as he stood up.
"You killed my father.. and now you have come for me?" He asked drawing his blade. Ryu looked at him, not showing any emotion. Yet behind his cool face, Ryu was thinking so hard that it hurt. What was going on? and yet he understood why Genshin had sent him here to face of Mujou.
"Master please, you should not put any more strain on your body."
"Let us handle him, get out while you still can." Two of the ninjas said not taking their eyes of Ryu and tried to move in front of their master again. It was at that point that Ryu notised how pained the young boy's face was just from standing up. Ryu understood that Mujou had already hurt the young leader and that he had proberbly only barely escaped with his life.
"I am looking for Mujou." Ryu said finaly, surprising the boy a bit.
"Why?" He asked.
"I was asked to kill him." He only said, then there was a roar of joy coming from outside the room, before a few of the survivors gave their last cries as they got killed.
"He is here..." One of the ninjas said and looked to his lord. The three remaining Ninjas were all that were left to defend their lord, and all three of them were badly hurt. They were traped between the Dragon Ninja as well as the madman Mujou and his followers.
"Get out when I make an opeing." Ryu said and pulled out an Elixir and threw it to the boy.
"What? Why are you helping us?" The boy known as Arion-ame asked confused. Ryu looked at him and there was something that could remind of a smirk in his eyes.
"I promised someone to make sure that Mujou did not get to you." Ryu said and turned to the door.
[Besides.. Genshin would proberbly not let me get another nigth's sleep if anything happened to you.] He thougth silently. Arion-ame looked at the bottle and back at Ryu.
"Dont belive that I will own you one, just for this. Some day I will have my revenge for my father." He growled.
"Aah, I'll be waiting." Ryu said and got ready. He heard the boy open the bottle and take a sip of it before giving the rest to his men.
The door suddenly got kicked open and a large man stepped in. His skin had a ligth blue tone to it and had some purple markings on it. His hair was red with black tips as it stood up behind his head. His eyes were red yet the white in his eyes were turning yellow. His suit were a simple Black Spider ninja suit. Ryu's eyes narrowed, remebering quite well how the curse of the fiends spread in the body.
"Haha what to we have here? The Dragon Ninja as well as my prey, the young lord of the Black Spider ninja clan. Two for the price of one!" The man laughed pleased. He lifted his sword, the red and white sparks flashed and blinked.
"You must be Mujou." Ryu growled looking at him.
"Indeed, the migthly Mujou is my name and I'll teach you why I am called that!" He laughed and moved closer.
"Yet I should thank you for your hard work, you made getting up here so much easier. Even though I was really looking forward to get covered in blood, oh well your blood should do." He laughed and looked strait at Arion-ame as he finshed his sentece. "Your blood tastes ever so sweet." He laughed licking the egde of his sword.
"Bastard!" Arion-ame growled angry towards him.
"Come then, have another taste of your fathers blade." Mujou laughed and pointed the blade towards him. Arion-ame's eyes glowed hatefully as he looked to this man. Ryu steped infront of the young leader and set his ice cold ligth green eyes into him.
"Oh? You want to protect this boy? The son of your old nemesis?" Mujou laughed, not really beliving what he was seeing.
"I am here to take back what you have stolen." Ryu said and swinged his blade into a starting position.
"My lord, we should be ready to move.."
"We dont know how long the Dragon ninja can hold him." The ninjas wispered to Arion-ame. They felt better after their wounds had began to heal. The young boy nodded, wondering just who had made the Dragon Ninja swear to protect him.
"Come then, Dragon Ninja let's see what you have against me." Mujou laughed loudly and rushed towards Ryu. Ryu only waited for it and just as the blade swung towards his head, Ryu blocked it. The force of the block was enougth to get Mujou out of balace and Ryu leaped into the air before flying down towards him. Mujou was out of balance and could not block it but he maged to let himself fall backwards and out of the way. The Dragon Sword made a cut into the floor where Mujou had stood. Mujou rolled around and rushed into Ryu, their blades locked together.
"Now, hurry.." One of Black Ninjas said and hurried passed the two warriors.
"Where do you think you are going?" Mujou growled and ran towards Arion-ame. The young boy stopped and drew his own blade.
"No master!" One of the ninjas jumped infront of his lord and took the stricke from Mujou, cutting him in two from his shoulder and to his waist.
"No!" Arion-ame yelled as the ninja fell to the ground. Mujou laughed pleased and got ready to stricke again.
His attack was stopped as Ryu slashed across Mujou's back. The half fiend turned and stared hatefully at him, his red eyes shining. Ryu stood ready, his dragon blood boiling. As Mujou turned around completly the two remaining ninjas took hold of their lords arms and pulled him into a secret door that lead to a secret elevator.
"Stopp him, but keep him alive! I want to kill him myself!" Mujou called to his men as a small group tried to get past Ryu and Mujou and get to Arion-ame. Ryu effectively stepped in their way and killed a good few of them, bying the others enougth time to lock the door and get away.
"After them! Get me that kid!" Mujou roared angry and rushed into Ryu again slashing lose on him. The other ninjas ran towards the elevators hoping to get them at the lower floors.
Meanwhile Ryu was forced backwards by the strikes and soon hit the wall with his back. Quickly casting a quick look to it, Ryu blocked the next strike and got forced back into the wall. The wall gave in suddenly and Ryu triped into the spining hidden door and vanished as the door swung around again. Ryu smiled fainly as he heared Mujou roar in anger. Ryu pulled back a bit and suddenly felt a cold wind against his skin. Ryu looked up, his eyes following the narrow hall and found out that he had come up just by the roof. Apparently an escape way to the roof. His look turned back at the door as he heard a roar of anger again and the door swung around to quickly, that as Mujou rushed througth it, it spun around atleast tentimes more. Ryu blocked the attack before spinning around and cut Mujou over the stomach. As the man cried out and pulled back, Ryu saw that the blood that came out were dark purple. The half fiend roarded angry and rushed into Ryu again.
The two of them started to figth their way thougth the narrow hall and up at the helecopter platform on the roof. Their battle went back and forth between them. The storm was returning, and the ground became wet and slippy by the hard rain, and the sky ligthed up by the flashes of ligthing that filled the sky over the city. A hard strong wind blew over the roof tops.
Ryu noticed that Mujou keept changing battle stile.
[As the sword passes from hand to hand, it keeps a bit of the warrior soul of it's past owner.] Genshin's words suddenly jumped back into his head. Watching his moves Ryu noticed something else. Mujou not only keept changing battle stile but he kept switching the sword from his rigth hand to his left.
[I had that sword for a very long time.] He remebered Genshin said, and he understood that Mujou was using Genshin's way of figthing as he held the sword in his left hand. He could use this, since Ryu had haven a fair share of battles against Genshin and could more effectly read his moves and jugde what would be the next move Mujou could do.
Ryu was right, most of all Mujou used the same technices as Genshin had and Ryu was now quickly winning ground. Since Mujou was perhaps half fiend now, but he still missed the strength that Genshin had.
Then suddenly Mujou slashed into to Ryu and his attacks pulled Ryu upwards. Ryu just barley manged to let himself drop to the ground hard, as Mujou jumped up trying to take hold around him. Landing hard on his back, Ryu rolled back on his feet. As Ryu stood up he was panting for air, his chest hurt but the blade had missed going to deep.
"Did you belive I only knew Genshin's moves? I know yours as well. Remeber this sword has a part of your soul with your memories in it." Mujou laughed pleased with himself after nearly getting in a Izuna Drop on the Dragon ninja. Ryu growled angry.
"Lets see how you like tasting your own technics against yourself." Mujou grinned and started a wave of deadly attacks over Ryu. Ryu was focusing to block and defend as he tired to find a opeing.
Yet as the tables had turned Ryu suddenly remebered his figths against the dobble ganger fiends. Compared to them Mujou was only using the blade skills Ryu knew. Quickly jumping backwards and placing the Dragon Sword in the sheath again, Ryu then jumped forward, landing on his hands and then sending his feet strait into Mujou's stomach. The half fiend pulled back gasping for air when Ryu spinned around and landed on his hands again. Suddenly bending his body strait up, his feet hit Mujou with a uppercut, sending him recoiling further. As Ryu stood up he unleashed a number of his moves from his time as a Dead or Alive contestant and Mujou had no chance to defend himself from the attacks, and got knocked around hard.
"Enougth of this!" The madman roared after a little while and swung his sword around, making Ryu pull back with a few backflips and landed. As Ryu stood up again, he redrew the Dragon Sword.
As Mujou rushed into him again, the battle stiles were mixed badly and Ryu would easily block or pull back from the attacks as well as get a number of good hits in. Mujou was so enranged he had no idea what he was doing anymore. The battle raged back and forward for a little while, none of them seeming to get the uper hand before Ryu found a opening.
"It's over." Ryu said and then unleashed his Ultimate technice into him and as he ended it, Ryu finshed it of with a Izuna Drop. Ryu slashed into him, sending him upwards before Ryu jumped up and grabed hold around Mujou and turned him around. There was no chance Mujou could avoid it and soon after they smashed into the ground.
As Mujou lay still in a pool of his own dark purple blood, Ryu moved closer.
"I was.. so close.. Why.. why.. would.. you care.. about.. the Black.. Spider..clan.." Mujou asked as blood dripped from his mouth. Ryu took the sword and the sheath and looked at him.
"Genshin asked me to bring his sword back." He only said. Mujou began to laugh, making more blood come out from his mouth.
"I.. would not... be surprised.. if he.. did.." Ryu did not answer, only tied the blade to his side.
"So.. this is.. it... my death.." Mujou asked as his skin, hair and eyes turned human again.
"I was.. so close..." Mujou said and then faded away completly. Ryu sighed and closed Mujou's eyes. Standing up again, Ryu turned around and looked over the city. His look followed on and as the sky filled up with ligthing again, Ryu looked to Mount Fuji.
I am really happy with how this came out, as I spent a LOT of time just studding game play so I could do Ryu's moves right and getting the characters personality down right.
I had a lot of fun making this villain as well as my little twist with the son;)
and again:
Mujou means Ruthless.
Aoi building= blue building
And finally.. Arion-ame means Iron-Rain.
As always feel free to tell me how I did.
