Battle of Phantoms Sanji vs Dieshen: Sanji, I have to work my way back to Maxseen to get that gun. I'm going to need it in my fight with Dieshen, but this is kinda of a predicament the phantom struggled a bit to kneel off the floor he was sitting on, as he walked towards Sayawai bending his knees a bit. Softly he stroked the front of her black bangs rolling them back a bit with his fingers. Sayawai had moved her head a bit muttering few words, she tended to do this only if she was dreaming about something. Sayawai: Sanji..., please no be careful and Dieshen why do we have to fight... Sanji noticed her words started to fade as he held the left side of her face gently. Sanji: You're thinking about us fighting him aren't you, even though you're recovering when it comes to setting things right you have a good heart about it... I'm sorry Sayawai..., but I'm going to make things right for you, and I know you're going to be upset once you wake up, but this is for the best. You can't fight with me so I will be the one fighting for the both of us. He softly kissed the left side of Sayawai's face deeply while closing his brown eyes. Once he opened them Sanji's facial expression matched the image his eyes gave, and that's one of no fear, but with deep determination we knowing failure isn't something he could consider. Sanji: Huffs, huffs, I was afraid of the poison circulating within my body, but that being said it does seem like it entered my system when I was removing it from Sayawai. I'm not to sure if Maxseen can help me with this poison, but at this point I have no choice. I have to try and reach her if I'm going to have any chance to fight Dieshen.

Sanji slipped on the top of his black body suit since he had removed it being shirtless while helping Sayawai, because the top itself was causing him to sweat more which could cause the poison to travel from one person to another. He grabbed his mask and put it back on his face lightly fitting it on, as his brown eyes turned into a ghostly grey color fading into the back of his pupils like so. Approaching the window he opened it looking at the dark night having a little stagger in his walk. Sanji's body was weakening and he felt sore all over with pain, but at this point stopping for him wasn't an option. He planted his feet on the window ledge and leaped afar into the night leaving a ghostly presence behind his passing. Sanji moved as fast as he could towards the upper side of Japan city that's were Maxseen's base was located. He passed by block over block while jumping from building to building with great speeds. Sanji was moving so fast that a long trail of ghostly wind traveled from his apartment all the way to the large building he was standing on within the city area of Japan this showed he was moving non stop up until this point. Sanji: Huff,huff,huff,huff. I have to keep going I'm nearly ten blocks away... He had jumped from that building top trying to land on the following one by using the momentum of his jump, but his body starting to fail him a bit by slowly receding in height. Sanji: Shit, no he fell back while extending out his right hand to grab on the building edge. He held onto it tightly but felt his strength fading him, as his fingers started to loosen. Sanji: I can't even pull myself up this is bad, saying this he couldn't hold on anymore as his body fell down this 20 story building. The effect of gravity caused him to fall in a rapid pace, but falling wasn't the issue he faced.

Sanji already was feeling weak, but he knew he had to stop himself from falling. He tried to move quick, but failed to do so as his body was sluggish due to the poison. He reached for the knife that was in it's holster and grabbing onto it he gripped the handle tightly while flipping his body over in midair causing his feet to face the falling point. Stabbing the knifes edge into one of the window's causing it to shatter instantly, but since he was falling the next following windows kept breaking as well. Sanji was trying to get his blade on a grip to support his weight by using the windows, but the fall was to fast. Sanji: I can't grip the windows I'm going to have to dive in. The knife Sanji was holding ceased to exist, because he couldn't hold it anymore while falling in a weak state. He took his body forward reaching the 10 floor of this building around this point. Pushing his right shoulder in the glass broke while Sanji's rolled up from his shoulder and landed on his right knee. Keeping his body up took true effort, as his head was soaking in sweat. Sanji: Whatever poison Dieshen used it's potent I don't know if I can even move anymore. Within his mind Sanji thought carefully to himself realizing the words he spoke. I can't move hardly, but I must, I must. I have to move! Sanji opened his eyes and deep from his soul which emitted with his following actions. He felt no fear completely, his ghostly grey eyes keenly aware of what's ahead of him. Running forward overcoming the odds of his body limit, and the poison he pushed through the window ahead of the room he landed in and jumped with ease. Sanji used the sole of his foot to kick off the building he was approaching and kept kicking upwards, from this point he was literally window walking up another 20 story building.

Sanji's body flew on the top of the next building and kept his body following until he reached Maxseen's headquarters. Coming through the front door this time being pitch black, he used his hand as an entry key placing it in a specific spot on the door allowing him access. Sanji knew if he was able to get through like this Maxseen's presence was around, because only Maxseen alone gave him and Sayawai access to this key. He was walking towards the elevator being heavily weak from within his body, but yet it seemed none of these effects was hindering him. Walking in the elevator he pressed on the button that took him to Maxseen's office which was at the top of this 40 story building. Pushing the front doors open with earnestly and a hint of desperation Sanji had walked in stumbling on the floor softly, but he kept his weight up by pressing on his left knee cap. Maxseen: Sanji, what in the world happened to you, she had gotten out of the chair she was sitting in. Walking over towards him, she was attempting to wrap her right arm around his shoulders. Sanji: No! don't touch me the p...p.. poison you'll get affected. Maxseen had stayed her distance the moment he had said that not touching him whatsoever. Maxseen: Instead of saying what in the world happened to you, the question of the night should be who could have done this to you? Looking at his condition and Maxseen being a very smart woman with a lot of resources ,she had took out her cell phone calling up her medical staff. Seeing Sanji's condition made her worry as he was a sweaty mess, his eyes still being in phantom form but showing signs of weakness. Judging by this and also realizing he was in pain she talked to her medical staff. Maxseen: Listen I need a unit to come in my office asap one of my clients is sick and needs medical attention. She had told them the conditions Sanji was displaying and how cautious they needed to be.

The doctors heard symptoms Sanji was displaying and right away got quiet for a brief moment. Maxseen: Well, what are you guys quiet for tell me the issue! The doctors told her it's no problem Ms. Maxseen, we can cure this poison effect due to the resources we have due to your compensation, but it's the fact that this person may have organophosphate poisoning within his body. And that hasn't been heard of in awhile in Japan matter of fact to make a poison using such means is unheard of Ms. Maxseen. Maxseen: I don't care what it is get your asses over here now he's suffering. She hung up the phone on them and in a matter of 10 mins a unit came in with medical protective suits on. Only one doctor had a metal pipe like container, one could say it look liked a fire extinguisher. Immediately she started spraying the room leaving a plain odor in the air, but the color of the spray was a crystal like blue. The other doctor injected Sanji with a needle having that same spray formula in liquid form. The moment the liquid entered his body Sanji started to feel better as the poison started to wear off. Maxseen: What is this stuff that you're spraying in my office, one of the doctors spoke to her this is cure for this poison, we had to mix in some of the chemicals we had at the base in order to get rid of it. I don't know who made this rare form of poison, but once the victim starts sweating heavily leaving odor in the air anyway surrounding the area could be affected. Most importantly to make this into a liquid form poison is nearly impossible given the tools and many different types of chemical formula it takes to make this. The poison is really hard to make by hand, so whoever affected this young man had to have resources beyond our understanding.

Sanji: Maxseen thank you... huff, huff and not to catch you by surprise doctors, but there is one man who can and has those resources. Maxseen: It was Kinshou wasn't it Sanji? Sanji: Yes most likely, but Dieshen probably got the formula prepared for himself before coming to Japan. The doctors looked at them with a very confused glare as they wondered to themselves who could have even made this poison. Well young man you are very lucky to be alive if the poison would have affected you more your life would have been beyond saving. Sanji: Thank you very much Maxseen for sending your medical team and Sayawai is the one who originally got affected by this poison, but I had removed it from her before it was able to spread in her system that much by using my mouth. One of the doctors gave him a what the fuck look wondering if he was crazy. Sanji had told them the story behind him taking care of Sayawai and they told him she should be fine with some rest, because of the fact it wasn't fully inside her system. And she wasn't sweating heavily around the time he was helping her out not to mentioned Sanji had cleaned her up. I can see why you suffered the most, but no doubt you saved your? Sanji: She is my cousin and someone had attacked her during the middle of the night when she was coming home late coming from a friends house. I still don't see how you managed here after taking the poison directly in your mouth, are you even human? Maxseen: Ok, that's enough take you my staff I suggest you leave now. I don't want you smothering the boy with your questions. The medical staff left on her order as Sanji stood there tall looking at Maxseen, but quickly turned his back. Maxseen: You're going to fight that guy aren't you Sanji? I don't know what kind of trouble you got yourself into, but I don't want you hurt despite not fully being involved. Sanji: I thank you for everything and this time you really have saved my life Maxseen, but not to be rude mind your business... I have to take care of this and this is only a job for a phantom. I mean that's why you took Sayawai and myself under your wings for certain jobs that weren't meant for normal people he smirked slightly. Maxseen couldn't help but laugh a bit herself hearing that comment. Maxseen: You just be careful and if you die take the bastard with you. Sanji: I don't plan on dying anytime soon until I fulfill my goal. Sanji walked out after saying that taking the elevator down to the secret gun department in the building. He picked up his favorite gun that was in it's metal sliver holder. Sanji: You and I have been through many gruesome missions together killing countless of humans, but for the sake of something important in our life and for the first time fighting against a phantom this will be a test for us. Sanji felt about 100% better around this point the unit Maxseen sent out was able to cure him of this poison despite them making only two doses of it due to the formula and materials they had. Sanji: Dieshen I'm coming for you without death in the mind of your darkness, his grey eyes remained dormant as his presence vanished from the room he was in causing the dim white lights to go out softly.

Dieshen was leaning his back on one of the pipes in the piping station steam came out a couple of them as the unit itself was running normally. The steam floated in sky calmly evaporating with the dark night that fell upon the phantom who was waiting for his enemy to arrive. Looking at the night sky wearing his pitch black mask Dieshen took a sigh and directed his gaze upon somewhere else. The eyes of the phantom peered towards a figure in the distance a body was by one of the large towering pipes in the station, it wasn't that far away from Dieshen, so that the steam from the pipes emitting within the station blinded him from seeing this figure. The steam finally vanished away along with the passing wind that flowed in the dark night, as the moonlight started to shine brightly upon the station itself. Dieshen: Look at your pathetic state honestly a lowly human like yourself has no right to be around the darkness while I'm standing among it, but because of you things have become a little interesting. He was talking to the girl that was kidnapped, yes Maysha was hanging onto that large pipe precisely being in the middle of it dangling from a single black stone dagger that kept her hands pinned together, as it was was stabbed through them. The pressure from being pinned in the air by a object like so caused her to feel heavy pain being a human after all, she moaned out in pain. The clothes she was wearing was removed as Dieshen had stripped her down to nothing for her embarrassment. Maysha: Please, please let me go whoever you are I don't want you to hurt me anymore that you have, just why are you doing this! The cries the girl gave showed despair and confusion, as she felt really cold being naked feeling the wind blow her long hair passing by her thighs,legs,arms, butt and of course boobs. Maysha's nipples were hard because of her body being cold as blood strolled down, as the flow started from her wrist since her hands were pinned. Dieshen: Why do you ask it's rather simple, but a girl that is begging to be released will never understand such reasoning honestly I was hoping you'd be dead already it has already been 4 hours yet you still go on about being freed. He smirked underneath his black mask, tell me the despair and pain you feel just hanging there knowing so much time has passed only to see no one has come to save you. Yes no one, a friend, parent or even a person you love. No one is here to help you at all... Maysha took all the things he was saying to heart as she thought about her parents first, they have jobs that keep them traveling constantly so their not home most of the time, and of course her friends who were sleeping around the time she got kidnapped.

Maysha had thought about Sanji when he said not even someone that she loved came for her rescue, but honestly how could anyone know what she's going through. She alone was the victim of this guys actions and she felt so helpless and alone as his words hit deep, so deep that tears started to flow down her face as she started to cry heavily while hanging there in embarrassment. Maysha: I don't care anymore, please whatever you're going to do just do it rape me, kill me I don't care anymore I can't this this pain... Dieshen: Rape you or kill you? Saying such things in a sense like I really have interest in such trivial things at the moment. Rest assured foolish girl if I wanted to do either of those things it would have been done by now, but no this is for something more than your understanding, but you'll see soon enough after all you are the bait. Maysha thought to herself I'm the bait, but why am I chosen to be so and bait for who what is he talking about, her eyes started to close slowly as her strength was leaving her, she kept them open by sheer will power at the moment. She had passed out a few time during the passing 4 hours because of the pain and mental distress of the persecution she was suffering from. Dieshen felt the air shift around him, as he smirked again under his mask. Dieshen: Yes, he has finally arrived and right on time actually it's 5 am, I guess he didn't want to risk coming any later being afraid the girl might be killed. The steam from the pipe station was blown out from the large hole of the pipes themselves this happened occasionally. The figure that Dieshen sensed was walking towards him passing through the steam that would soon disappear once it did finally his arrive Sanji had made his appearance being a couple of feet away from Dieshen. Dieshen had lifted his back off of the pipe he was leaning on and stood there straight looking at Sanji who had his knife within his right hand holding it tightly. Sanji had looked around the area sensing if anyone was around, but him and of course Maysha were the only ones among Dieshen, no one was around because around this time the people that worked at the station were sleep. Looking up at Maysha who saw the other male standing there from afar kept staring trying to figure out why he was here. Dieshen: Finally you made it Sanji I knew you would come, but to think you was able to help Sayawai and from the poison that was in her system. I'm well aware that if she died from it you being here would be strange since someone like you loves holding his Sayawai dear. Oh, and if she did die you being so calm right now wouldn't be a option, I'm sure of that you run away. Maysha heard Sanji's name and Sayawai's names being spoken out by the male who tortured her in a sense, in confusion she was wondering why he was talking to the other male calling him Sanji. The other male was wearing a black body suit fit to be a assassin no way this person could be Sanji and Sayawai being poisoned it was so many things that she didn't know. Dieshen: You look even more confused and pathetic than before girl, well you see this guy standing before me is your beloved Sanji that you love.

Sanji: Dieshen that's enough... I'm here to finish you off were you stand and your hindrance deeds. I knew you were cold hearted and limits on what you do to humans are not set before you, but sometimes bringing other people involved is not always the way to settle things. You're battle is between me, Maysha and Sojo had nothing to do with this! Dieshen: You speak like you know the darkness, but you know nothing at all Sanji, you're ideals of me not involving your so called shitty friends only applies to you. You shouldn't be selfish, because your feelings of why I killed Sojo or kept this girl hostage doesn't affect me. I do what I want, when I feel like it's that simple the darkness knows no bounds as it is my darkness itself. You Sanji will meet your end here, as he was saying that the moon was covered by the clouds making the whole station pitch black, before the light fully faded away Dieshen had reached inside his holsters that were made to carry knifes. He pulled out four black stone daggers as they were held between his fingers in each hand, so he had 8 in total. You can't beat the darkness Sanji... Dieshen's eyes faded within as they turned ghostly black he entered his phantom form as his body ceased to exist. Sanji: Maysha I'm sorry, but I promise you I will save you no matter what, his eyes turned ghostly grey fading in the back as his phantom state was activated. Maysha was hearing all of this at disbelief as it was so much to take in, but no doubt now she knew this other male before her was Sanji and he said he'd save her, but she wouldn't know or see to tell the tale, because at that moment her eyes finally closed passing out again from exhaustion. Sanji picked up his right arm that held his knife having it slightly bent in a forward position, he kept this posture and stance in a defending manner waiting for Dieshen to make his move. Let's do this Dieshen he muttered those words within his mind filling his very being with certainty while having no fear. Dieshen: Hahaha hahahah ahahah, his laughs were resonating with the darkness around them it's like his laughter was everywhere. I wonder how long you planned to run away from who you are Sanji honestly you're the worse a phantom defying who he really is, it's like you don't even know who you are heh. No, you don't know who you are that's what it is isn't Sanji? Sanji thought to himself as those words being spoken actually hit a nerve, he was right Sanji had lost his memory and was on a search to regain them. He was certain he would and nothing will get in his way of doing so, not being fully distracted by Dieshen's words Sanji kept his guard up, as his eyes quickly looked around him in a 360 degree manner with each passing second.

Dieshen: You look around the darkness and see nothing, so tell me what could you hope to accomplish by just staring at something you can't understand. I'll see how you handle two Sanji for now... Once again Deishens words blended in the darkness around them, but to be honest Sanji couldn't really understand the concept of how this worked. The few things he did remember about Dieshen was that when darkness arose he fought well in it, no one was able to truly track him unless they wasn't human. However this felt different it's like he's one with it, but how is that even possible. Sanji heard a different chain of affects in the area, as the air around him felt like something was passing through. He had quickly raised the hand that gripped his blade tightly moving it towards the left side of his face after a quick spin of the blade itself around his fingers. Sanji had blocked the incoming black stone dagger that was aimed at his jaw precisely, doing this caused sparks to form from the two blades colliding like so, but the impact of the dagger being thrown was strong. The strength of the collision caused Sanji's feet to slide on the concrete a bit towards the right, he quickly heard another change of pace in the air as another dagger was coming straight at him from his blind side aimed towards the back of his head. Sanji:Shit I can hear them, but I can't see them it's like their presence is almost nonexistent this is bad, while sliding he had quickly bent his knees in a straight forward position dodging the dagger just in time without even seeing it. The speed of the incoming dagger and Sanji's quick movement were so on par that the edge of the dagger barely just missed the top of Sanji's head swiftly passing by the top of his hawk like hair, while it passed the speed and wind current of the dagger caused his hair to waver back and forth. Dieshen: You dodged that pretty well I'm impressed how much you can hear me in the darkness, but it's clear that you can't see me... Dieshen's words became apparent when his being was right in front Sanji while he was in the dodging motion, so he had moved so quick following behind every attack giving Sanji little to no time to regain himself, he thrusted out his right hand that held onto a black dagger. He was aiming towards Sanji's neck hoping to slice it wide open with the speed he was coming with, and the short distance between them being the fact Dieshen's arm length was indeed long.

Sanji quickly raised his right hand bringing it towards himself, but kept it downwards near his knees to be accurate it was exactly in middle of his bent knees. Sanji: He's moving way to quick it's hard to keep up, while saying this to himself his actions kept flowing, because even with the slightest miscalculation his end could be brought about. He moved his his right thumb right underneath the base of his blade and pressed it hard forcing the blade to go up in a straight line, but while he did that Sanji looked in front him not so much focusing on Dieshen's presence, but carefully listening to the sound of his upcoming dagger this helped him to predict where the dagger was coming from. The blade Sanji sent straight up was at a slight backward angle, so in other others it was sent right underneath his chin where it would just pass by it making sure no damage was made on himself by the blade. Dieshen at this time kept his slash going, as he saw Sanji's knife that had sharp ridges the speed was his slash was right on course, he couldn't really stop anything being done because of how fast he moved. Dieshen's black stone dagger not being able to be seen since everything blended in the dark showed clashing sparks yet again, so the blade that Sanji sent up made contact with his dagger. Dieshen: Hmph, oh really, he kept his slash forward as the force from Sanji's blade from below made his slash take a different trajectory causing it to move back a bit that's why Dieshen pushed forward. Sanji in that split half of second grabbed the blade with his left hand before it fully escaped his grasp, because Sanji threw it like that Dieshen's slash would have no doubt sent it flying in the sky, but Sanji caught it being able to sense it that helped him to predict were it would be, as he held it tightly and brought it above his forehead. Sanji and Dieshen was in phantom form so the after effect of their movement left a ghostly passing wind their eyes giving off a color trail that resembled the color of the two males eyes, so ghostly grey and black. The slash and impact followed as in result Sanji fully blocked two death blows, but the second one sent his body flying since he took the full brute of Dieshen's power with the slash. Dieshen had incredible power while using his black daggers this was his specialty speed,power and of course vanishing in the dark.

Sanji's body still being in a bent down position was sent flying, as the slash took him right off his feet. Sanji: Damn it ugh... he was in pain as his back hit a metal pipe hard around the station were connecting pipes that was constructed in straight lines. He quickly moved his head to the right dodging the dagger that was aimed between his eyes just in time, it traveled in a opening space of the connected pipes blending in the darkness light so, but while dodging that one Sanji kept his senses strong in his phantom form his abilities were enhanced as well. Sanji: I heard drops while that dagger was flying towards me, no way he had poison on that dagger. Dieshen it seems you still have some poison that you're able to use I'm impressed on the supplies that Kinshou has at his disposal. Dieshen: Yes, I actually was able to make enough poison to coat two daggers one for Sayawai and of course you, but to think you had the resources yourself to rid of the poison. I see, that Maxseen of yours must be dealt with, she could be a future threat to Kinshou his words peered through the darkness it was no point in Sanji trying to figure out where he was, because Dieshen's voice was everywhere. No matter Sanji that's not of concern you will die here at this rate. Sanji: I'll admit you have become much stronger I don't remember you being able to communicate through the dark, but remember what I always told you? Darkness can't overcome fear one with a strong fearless heart cannot lose to darkness... Dieshen: Oh, you mutter those shitless words again, well you run away phantom let's see you back up those words, because you just have no idea how strong I've really become... Sanji stood back up quickly while reaching towards the left side of his waist, as he pulled out his metal gun that rested in his grey holster. Sanji: You're right it is time for me to back up those words Dieshen, he smirked underneath his mask. Dieshen: Let's see you was able to block 2 how about four this time, in saying that three daggers was sent towards Sanji. One was aimed toward his right leg as the other the middle of his chest, while the third one flew towards his left hand side in attempt to hit his rib cage. The last one which was the poison coated dagger actually was brought back up from the ground and immediately flew on it's own, it made a u turn aiming towards Sanji's spine.

Sanji: I sense the daggers again, but I can't see them it's no point of trying to dodge, because he has be trapped wait what... he felt the upcoming dagger that was dodged a few mins ago not having time to turn. Sanji knew it was coming from his backside, how is that possible though it's no way that dagger was able to get up from the ground by itself, but yet it's clearly flying towards me. Hmph, fine then... I'll show you Dieshen how pathetic your course of actions are, he pointed his gun at the metal pipe behind him while looking at where he was shooting from the corner of his right eye, and quickly pulled the trigger shooting a bullet. The bullet was released with rage showing a large expanded flare burst, this happened because of how the bullets were made and being fired from the gun itself. Phantom or not bullets being fired from a gun cannot be seen as a whole, seeing bullets is possible for people like us, but the covering of flare isn't possible for the lot of us phantoms. However that doesn't matter, because Sanji knew all about these bullets and how they worked after all he created the gun and the bullets himself. The bullet flew flying off the pipe, but the precise angle caused it to bounce up taking it's course on towards the second connected pipe that was above the first one. Sanji had hit the middle of three pipes that was behind him, in precision the bullet bounced with it's strong flare emitting and giving off light at this point Dieshen was looking at it move in zing zang formation. The formation itself was so accurate and the timing of Sanji's firing was without fail, he knew when to fire his gun and that's when all the daggers came in striking range, his bullet flew behind his back moving up in a zing zang position came colliding with the dagger that was aimed towards his back. Dieshen's poison dagger shattered instantly the moment it made contact with the bullet despite it shattering the dagger Sanji's bullet didn't slow down not one bit in fact it took a different flow. The bullet now curved and hit the second pipe which was the upper one and because of that it flew in front of Sanji's body. Dieshen's dagger that was sent towards Sanji's chest was shattered impact of that caused it to reflect and bounce towards the one at his waist following the same action destroying that one as well. Dieshen's last dagger aimed at his right leg was hit by the bullet from hitting his previous dagger that was at Sanji's waist.

Dieshen was at disbelief of what just happened, Sanji quickly took his gun and pointed at the flying bullet from the right having it held sideways, before it went passing his face he shot another bullet which ricocheted towards the air in front of his standing position while his second bullet kept moving in the same direction it was fired. The bullet was sent flying, but heading towards Dieshen's direction he was hiding in the dark, but no doubt was standing on the surface before him. Dieshen's quickly moved his head towards the left as the bullet grazed his black mask causing it to break his face was now visible in the dark of course. Dieshen: The hell, how was he able to see where I was, no he had to sense me and that bullets speed it was way faster than a normal one. He fired his first bullet carefully after sensing where the daggers were coming from with precise timing, and control. The bullets he's using is made to ricochet off of any object, but at the same time destroying what it's in path as the bullet itself keeps it direction true which is all thanks to the user. I'm impressed he knows how to use that strange weapon without any flaws. Dieshen said all of this in his mind, I see. I don't know what kind of gun you're using Sanji, but it is indeed something I haven't seen before. Sanji: Hmph, is that so Dieshen well that's good to know, because this gun will bring about your ending... Dieshen's face was bleeding a bit as the bullet that grazed his face cut his skin nicely leaving a trail of blood flowing down his face, he took his tongue and softly licked the blood that dripped down his cheek a bit. Reaching down his holsters again he pulled out 6 blades this time three in each hand getting ready for his next move.
