Kill the Revenge

Neo vs. Masan

Neo and Masan both silently glared at one another. The wind blew silently, causing Neo's hair to fly straight up. Masan's hair blew forward toward Neo; Neo unshaken by the slightest movement of the Hidden Guard's member.

"Well?" Neo asked. "Are you going to say something?"

Masan didn't respond. Neo could feel his killing intent slowly begin to rise. He then gritted his teeth and clenched Senketsu tightly in his hand.

"Well?" He angrily asked again.

Still, Masan continued to stay in silence; further angering the Night Raid assassin.

"If you don't say something this minute, I'll tear your lips off so you won't speak ever again!" Neo shouted, pointing the blade at Masan.

"Stop talking." Masan finally said. "You're annoying me."

Neo looked offended from Masan's words; which only made him angrier.

"Then how about I cut off your ears then?" Neo shouted, lunging at Masan.

Masan pulled both of his axes from his side, blocking the attack and kicking Neo away from him. At the same time, Neo pulled out a smoke bomb; dropping it on the ground. A large smoke cloud formed over the two but wasn't much to startle Masan.

"That won't work." Masan commented, turning his attention behind him.

He could see Neo charge out of the smoke towards him, only to miss as he jumped straight up into the air. Acting irrationally, Neo then began hitting the ground around him, cracking and breaking it. Masan didn't hesitate at the opportunity to strike and dove straight for the assassin.

With one quick swing, the axe's blade hit Neo, who attempted to dodge the attack, only to have his arm cut. Masan landed with his back turned to Neo, waiting patiently for Neo to make the next move.

Neo didn't move. He held his arm briefly before putting his free hand back on Senketsu's handle. A small grin began to form on his face, catching Masan's attention.

"I was hoping you would go for that." Neo smirked.

Masan looked at him confused as Neo attempted another attack on him, barely missing the swords edge coming into contact with his face. Masan struggled to get Neo off of him as Neo began to yell loudly, attempting to scare the Hidden Guard member.

"It seems I have managed the upper hand." Neo stated, pressing down harder on Masan.

Masan held his stance firmly, attempting to push the assassin off of him while he continued to grin.

Looking at his arm, Masan saw a small opportunity to hit Neo causing him to back off enough for Masan to give another blow.

"You see." Neo began talking to an uncaring Masan. "Senketsu has the best ability for someone like me. The more cuts I get, the stronger I hit back. It's sorta like karma only more of a bitch."

"Too bad it'll come back at you as well." Masan said, much to Neo's confusion.

Masan kicked Neo's knee, causing him to kneel down a little, allowing him to free up his right arm and hit the wound he had made earlier on Neo. Yelling in pain, Neo jumped back just as Masan pushed him away. Looking at him, Neo could see Masan charge him again, getting closer than last time as he swung his axe at his chest. Reacting quickly, Neo blocked the attack and kicked the man back, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Karma...bitch." Neo taunted.


"Koizumi, are your troops ready to move out?" The emperor asked.

"Yes, he has already been deployed." Koizumi replied with a bow.

"He?" Najenda wondered as she leaned against the wall.

"I have sent a member from the Hidden Guard to exterminate the assassins. I have complete trust in his abilities and with absolute certainty know he will accomplish the mission."

"And what of his name?" Najenda asked.

"I'm afraid that information is classified." Koizumi slyly said. "On the other hand, there is another guard who was already deployed months before him."

"Another guard?" Najenda thought to herself.


Neo dodged Masan's axe and went for an uppercut, sending his opponent into the air. Gripping Senketsu, he blasted off into the air after Masan. Masan opened his eyes, seconds before Neo arrived and putting his axes together, smashed the assassin straight for the ground.

The crash was immense as Neo could feel himself sinking into the ground, causing a wave of dust to blast around him. Masan dove straight for him, slamming both axes in front of the fallen assassin and sending him from the ground back into the air.

"I got to do something and fast or else I'm toast." Neo thought to himself as Masan charged him once more.

Grabbing Senketsu by the blade, Neo swung the handle at Masan who reluctantly dropped his axes and grabbed the sword, thrusting at Neo.

"Gotcha." Neo smirked as he kicked Masan, causing him to let go of the sword.

Blood dripped from his hands as he let go of the blade and quickly grabbed the handle. Masan watched in astonishment as Neo cleanly pointed the sword at him, stabbing him in the heart.

The Hidden Guard fell to the ground, holding his chest as blood slowly seeped between his fingers. All around the world began to turn white in his eyes as Neo stood above him, waiting defensively for Masan to make another move.

"You got me?" Masan asked.

Neo nodded his head silently.

Without much thought, Masan effortlessly threw a punch at Neo only to have his fist slapped away.

"Rest now. It's for the best." Neo whispered before taking off.

Masan watched as Neo's body began to turn blurry with each step he took until a bright light consumed his vision before sudden darkness.
