Rurouni Kenshin
The Three Warriors
Kenyasha267: "Hey folks, I'm back once again!"
Sano: "They figured that when they saw that this chapter was up."
Kenyasha267: "Silence! Anyway, this chapter is the beginning of the end."
Kenshin: "Oro?"
Kenyasha267: "Our heroes are going to face their last challenge before getting home."
Sano: "Hmm… the final fight. I hope it will be longer than the last fights."
Kenyasha267: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, it's time. Yahiko, disclaimer time!"
Yahiko: "Alright! Kenyasha267 does not own Rurouni Kenshin, its characters, or ShiryoYuko. The idea for the villains in this fanfic came from Kenyasha267, except for Kuro. If you wish to use them, please ask first. Alba and Chad are also Kenyasha267's idea. And finally, please send reviews. Writers love reviews, even if they are bad."
Kenyasha267: "…Yahiko, why must the disclaimer be so long?"
Yahiko: "Because it is, DEAL WITH IT!"
Kenyasha267: "Oh boy. Ah well, I'll get Yahiko back for that. Right, enjoy the story folks!"
The Three Warriors chapter ten: Yamagata's power
How did this happen? Everything was going so well until a couple of days ago. Now everything was going down the drain. Even the best laid plans can fail, didn't his father say something along those lines? It didn't matter, the plan hadn't failed yet. Yamagata couldn't believe it though. Both Jiro and Seji had been defeated. Even Kuro, the living shadow, had lost. Yamagata reflected back on the beginning of his plan. It seemed like a perfect plan at the time. How was he to know that other people would be able to tap into the vortexes? The way the plan progressed was indeed interesting. Who would have known that Yamagata would get to this point. Yamagata remembered the day that the vortexes had been invented. His father was one of the scientists working on it. Of course, the vortexes were a secret, no one knew where they went. The government didn't want word leaking out about the vortexes. Hell, even the princes were not to know about the vortexes.
That's where all the trouble began, with that stinking king. Yamagata's father and the other scientists were conducting experiments with the vortexes and discovered that they were actually doorways to other worlds. Not only that, but the scientists had also learned how to control what world they were going to. The scientists were talking about exploring these worlds. However, before they could ask the king, the king had terminated the project. The scientists were appalled by this and asked the king why he had taken such action. The king answered that the vortexes were too dangerous, who was to say that the people of other worlds weren't dangerous. The scientists begged and pleaded to no avail and were kicked out of the palace.
Yamagata remembered that his father was angered by the fact that the king refused to support the project. Yamagata's father and the other scientists planned to overthrow the king and replace him with someone who would support the project. The scientist gathered an army made up of themselves and those disillusioned with the king. However, this army was no match for the king's army. The king had all the scientists publicly executed. Yamagata was there when his father was executed. He made a vow to continue his father's work.
Yamagata began studying his father's notes and eventually was able to create and control vortexes, just like his father. However, without government support, that was meaningless. Yamagata decided to visit the king and see if he had changed his mind. When he had entered the kingdom (A/N: The families of the scientists were exiled) Yamagata had discovered that someone had destroyed the place. Half of Yamagata was happy, but now who would support the vortexes. All the other kingdoms had banned vortexes years ago. While looking at the remains of the once great kingdom Yamagata found a boy on the ground. The boy was still alive. Yamagata went to check on the boy and help him and discovered that the boy had seriously been wounded.
"Are you alright?" Yamagata had asked the boy.
"My…brother." came the boy's voice.
Yamagata took the boy back to his home and tried to fix the wounds. While trying to fix the wounds Yamagata and the boy spoke to each other. Yamagata had learned a lot about the boy. The boy's was prince Kuro. Kuro was wounded while trying to protect his brother, ShiryoYuko. When the wounds were treated Kuro told Yamagata that he wanted revenge against those who destroyed his kingdom. Kuro left two days later.
After Kuro left, Yamagata spent days thinking about how he could make his father's dream of exploration a reality. Yamagata then began to think that if he could not find someone in his world, then he could go to another world. Yamagata tried two other worlds, but discovered that they could not even understand the ideas behind the vortexes. Apparently Yamagata's home world was the most advanced. This got Yamagata thinking again, if other governments couldn't understand the ideas, then he would just create one that would. As he began to plan the new government, Kuro returned. Kuro had discovered who destroyed his kingdom and wanted Yamagata to help him get his revenge. At that time Yamagata was toying with a theory his father had, how to create a living shadow. A living shadow would help greatly to Yamagata's new government. Using the theories of his father, Yamagata was able to make Kuro into a living shadow. The deal was made that Kuro could seek his revenge, but also had to follow Yamagata's orders. Yamagata was also planning to find ShiryoYuko and make him into a shadow as well.
A couple of days later Yamagata found a suitable world. The county was called Japan and it was ruled by a weak government called the "Meji". Yamagata took his first trip there without Kuro, but brought with him his favored weapon, the double halberd. There he got into a fight with a crime organization, but was able to defeat them easily. Yamagata had also met two small time crooks with some skill, Seji and Jiro. Yamagata brought them into the plan and started to bring over the superior technology of his world in order to use it against the Meji. This went on for some time until a couple of days ago when three warriors had appeared. Yamagata could tell they were from another world. The three had also defeated Seji and Jiro. ShiryoYuko had even shown up. Yamagata tried to get rid of them since they were trying to stop his plans, but nothing had worked so far. Now it was his turn.
As he looked he saw the group of six come to the top of the mountain. One of them looked like he had been hit in the leg by one of the lasers from either Seji or Jiro. The true fight was about to begin.

The group of six reached the top of the mountain and saw Yamagata waiting for them.
"There you are, it's time we gave you a beat down!" said Sanosuke.
"Oh really? I don't think so." said Yamagata calmly. Then Yamagata picked up his weapons.
"Whoa, double halberds!" exclaimed Alba
"Kenshin, you think you can take him?" asked Kenyasha267. He know that the double halberds were slow, meaning a quick fighter would be best. Hopefully Kenshin could find a way inside.
"This one should have no problem." replied Kenshin.
The fight commenced. Kenshin started with a charge hoping to get inside, but Yamagata thrusted with both halberds. Kenshin dodged left and jumped back seeing Yamagata's next move. After the thrust, Yamagata followed up immediately by swinging the left halberd left and the right halberd right. This left an opening for Kenshin to score a winning blow, but Yamagata was prepared and when Kenshin was in range Yamagata used the bottom part of the halberds to hit Kenshin on the neck, knocking out Kenshin.
"Kenshin! You bastard!" yelled Sano.
"Wait! We need to think about how to get past those halberds!" exclaimed Kenyasha267.
"It is impossible. I have trained for 12 years with these and perfected their use. You cannot get past them." said Yamagata.
"Well we can try." said Chad, getting ready to face Yamagata.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sano: "Whoa, Yamagata must be tough to take out Kenshin."
Kenyasha267: "Yea, I know. Kenshin usually doesn't get knocked out so easily, but Kenshin didn't expect Yamagata to use the bottom of the halberds too."
Kenshin: "Usually they use the blades to keep the opponent from getting inside. This is the first time I saw someone use the bottoms."
Kenyasha267: "Ah well. Oh yeah! Hey Yahiko!"
Yahiko: "What?"
Kenyasha267: "It's time for my revenge!" (grabs Magic Screwdriver and chases Yahiko with it.)
Yahiko: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! Someone help me!" (runs)
Kenshin: "Oro? People do seem to like chasing each other here. Kenyasha267 would appreciate reviews like he would appreciate a kiss."
Sano: "Where did you come up with that?"
Kenshin: "Until next time!"
