Chapter 10 – Sir Galahad vs. Team Alpha

"Temari, go hide. I'll get control of him with my Kage Mane no Jutsu. Then you slice 'n dice," Shikamaru said. "I got the battle planned out already."

"Kage Mane no Jutsu!" Shikamaru shouted. His shadow lengthened and stretched itself. It moved towards Sir Galahad, but he wasn't so stupid. He saw the attack and jumped out of the way.

"What is this devilry?" he asked. "No matter! I will take out with my sword!" Out came his sword, larger then any sword anyone had ever seen before. He attempted to cut he shadow, but being a shadow, nothing happened. "I see. So it really is a shadow. I don't know what will happen if I get caught, but it can't be good."

Shikamaru continued to try and capture Sir Galahad, but Sir Galahad kept on dodging it. On top of that, he kept getting closer and closer. "New plan, Temari! You keep me up with your fan, and I'll get him with my Kage technique! The fact that it's night just helps me!"

"Understood!" Temari jumped in front of Shikamaru and took out her fan. "Ninpou Fuusajin!" she yelled. Gusts of wind blew dirt into Sir Galahad's eyes.

"Aaaahh!! My eyes! You bitch!" yelled Sir Galahad. "It is against the Knight's code to strike a woman, but I will kill you anyways!" His eyes now clean, he ran towards Temari with his sword. She blew more wind at him, but he dodged. Shikamaru continued with his Kage Mane no Jutsu, but he dodged that too. However, with both techniques being thrown at him at the same time, he was forced to lose ground and go backwards. Finally, he was backed up against a wall. "I submit! Don't do anything to me! Please!"

"What now?" asked Temari. "I mean, we were told to take him out, but I wasn't expecting that to be so easy. I mean, we didn't even use kunai or shuriken."

"That's because it wouldn't have any effect. Look at his armor. The only reason it got cut up was because of your fan," explained Shikamaru. "In any case, I guess we just take him back to the stable and wait there. Let's tie him up first, just incase he tries something funny."
