Clash Between Steel of Hope and Bloodlust
Kenshin and Shishio stare at each other in the eyes again when their blades made contact and tiny sparks emit from the collision of steel.
"(This guy, he lived a life of bloodlust that no child should go through and yet he did, and he enjoys every moment of it.)" Kenshin thought realized.
What felt like moments to them was only a second or two to everyone else as the two swordsman fighters push each other off from the clash about twenty to thirty feet apart.
"Now it's all clear to me of what I must do." Kenshin said which Shishio was able to hear.
"I'm going to break those hands into pieces that you will never wield any weapons ever again!" Kenshin declared with a serious look in his eyes.
"Break my hands, you say?" Shishio chuckled from what he just heard.
Shishio kept chuckling for a bit then letting out the sound of insane laughter that got Kenshin's harem to feel chills down their spines, and Shiro is shaking like a leaf and trying to hide his face with his ninja helmet while Hideyoshi is hugging him tightly.
"Then go ahead, try to break my entire body if you can!" Shishio taunted.
"But know it's going to be much harder than you think and hope you can handle the heat from my body!" Shishio yelled of bloodlust rage and excitement at the same time.
(Music: Hell, Disturbed)
Shishio charges at his opponent with the intent to kill him more than ever as Kenshin got himself ready in a defense stance and was able to parry the bandage young man's two strike though the third became hard as he was pushed back a few feet.
Kenshin leans his body to the right to dodge one vicious strike to perform his own fast counter to strike his shoulder, but Shishio was able to lean his body to dodge that though was able to get a graze on his shoulder.
"(He almost got me?)" Shishio thought shocked.
Kenshin pulls his sword up again for another attack which Shishio blocks it with his sword causing a small soft burst of shockwave between them.
"Good, it looks like I am going to have some fun." Shishio smirked.
But Kenshin isn't interested in this fun of his and pushes their swords down facing the ground which he uses to place on foot on Shishio's hand to jump high, the bandage guy narrowly avoids a knee that was gonna struck his chin and tries to swing his sword to cut off his legs, but Kenshin was able to jump off from it.
"(Seriously? He risks his own foot to jump off from my sword like a footstool?)" Shishio thought commented of how crazy this guy is.
"Ryūtsuisen!" Kenshin dived down fast with his diving attack.
"Don't think you got me!" Shishio shouted as he swung his sword up meeting with Kenshin's attack.
The clash was intense was Kenshin was thrown to the side though he made a good land on his feet, Shishio was also pushed away but never took his eyes off from Kenshin.
"I see you got your own flashy moves, then you're about to see mine." Shishio smirked.
Shishio charges at Kenshin with the sharp edge of the blade being very close to the sheath moving them sharp causing sparks to appear, and the orange hair boy saw this being very surprised that he could cause sparks like he's starting a fire on his sword.
And he's about to find out just how right he is on the fire part.
"Ichi no Hiken: Homura Dama (First Secret Sword: Blazing Soul)!" Shishio swinged up his sword and flames suddenly form with the sword.
"What?" Kenshin gasped.
"His can perform flaming techniques just like I do with my Blade of Fury!" Nobunaga shocked.
Kenshin hurry dodge the fast-incoming attack to avoid the flaming blade from hitting him only for the flame itself to extend, reaching further than the sword itself as Kenshin now see his right sleeve getting caught and burning away right before his eyes.
"Even if you try to dodge, the fire will be the one to catch you!" Shishio laughed.
Kenshin blitzes away from the fire before it could reach him any further and look at his sleeve burning away along with his arm feeling the burn.
"Damn it, such a fierce technique." Kenshin commented as he quickly cut off his sleeve before the fire could spread throughout his clothes.
"I heard that Nobunaga can also do some serious fire power as well, I always wanted to fight her to see which of our flames is the hottest." Shishio smirked taking a step forward.
"I will say that your fire is indeed strong to that of Nobunaga, that it is." Kenshin admitted.
"But unlike Nobunaga, you do not have your heart in that fire to make me feel your strength." Kenshin glared at Shishio.
"That's right, his fire is nothing but pale in comparison to my burning heart and sword!" Nobunaga smiled.
"One must always put his heart in his or her strength to show how much can be strong with the compassion and show to have the stronger willpower." Kenshin scolded.
"Oh please, what good would a heart do? You can't kill someone with your heart unless it's something who can destroy your heart." Shishio pointed out.
"Strength is all that matters, if you don't have the strength to stand up on your own then you're as good as dead!" Shishio proclaimed.
This time, Kenshin is the one doing the charging swinging his sword against Shishio as he blocks the attack though the boy jumps over his opponent and swing his sword downward at the leg knocking him into the air and causing Shishio to spin a bit.
Shishio narrow his eyes in anger swinging his sword along with the motion of the spin as Kenshin barely managed to block that, then he pushes the bandage guy back to chase him with some fast quickdraw slashing against Shishio to push him back further and further though the evil Lord was able to thrust his sword through the defense.
That thrust attack got one on Kenshin with a cut on his cheek causing the boy to become shocked of feeling his blood coming out a bit, but he also made his own move to strike from below.
"Ryūshōsen!" Kenshin struck Shishio hard with his sword against the chin sending him fifteen feet in the air.
Shishio gasp in pain from attack along with some blood coming out of his mouth as this is the first time to ever felt such pain on his body, other than the time he was supposed to be executed.
"Lord Shishio!" Yumi and the other Shishio soldiers gasped.
"(I can't let him recover!)" Kenshin thought dashed to the spot where Shishio is about to fall on.
"Kenshin is going to keep attacking, he's not gonna let Shishio have the time to recover." Ken realized.
"Yes, that should put the bastard on the ropes!" Shingen grinned.
Kenshin arrived at the spot as he also swings his sword fast to attack Shishio on the head only for that to be parry away by Shishio himself who managed to recover just enough in midair, then he continues with his attacks along with bursting his fire again.
Kenshin saw this fearing that he is gonna try to burn him again and swung downward to smack the enemy's sword, while at the same time he jumps from the floor giving Kenshin the chance to avoid the flames from touching his clothes again.
"Ryūtsuisen ● Zan!" Kenshin performed the technique while still in midair stabbing his right on the shoulder through the flesh.
"He got him!" Hideyoshi cheered.
"Think again." Shishio smirked.
Shishio threw his hand up grabbing his opponent by the throat and slamming him down on the ground dragging him along the ground for a moment until he threw Kenshin away.
"No way, he was able to do that while his shoulder was damage?" Masamune shocked.
"It's like that man doesn't feel the pain at all." Akechi feared that might be the case.
"Now… I'll chop you up!" Shishio swinged his sword down at Kenshin after jumping towards him.
Kenshin was able to react in time by rolling out of the way to avoid his head being chop off then kept rolling when Shishio repeated the same attack, then Kenshin decided he had enough with rolling things along.
"Ryūkansen!" Kenshin struck Shishio's sword away causing his enemy to stumble back which gives him the chance to jump back on his feet.
"I'm not done!" Shishio instantly recovered and dashes at Kenshin.
Shishio swing is sword wildly as Kenshin does his best to block most of his strikes though few of those attacks got him on the right arm and little on the left side of the torso.
"(His strikes are strong and vicious like a wild animal.)" Kenshin thought commented.
Shishio jumps high and does a double front rolling spin with his sword thrown down at Kenshin who blocks the attack, but the force is strong that he pushes the boy down almost to his knee forcing Kenshin to push the attack to the side letting it hit the stage causing little cracks to form.
"(If I'm not careful, then I will be dead.)" Kenshin thought realized.
"Come now, don't tell me that's all the power you got, and I was really having fun here." Shishio smirked.
"Trust me when I say this isn't the full power of my sword style." Kenshin said with a fierce glare.
"Glad to hear that." Shishio said with the tip of his sword on the ground.
Shishio charges at Kenshin to slashing with some strength to push him back and leave some serious cuts that would take a modern era doctor to help patch him up, but Kenshin isn't even moving a spot.
"Ryūsōsen!" Kenshin unleashed his flurry of strikes that connects with Shishio's body then sending him flying with one last on the chest.
"Damn, you got me good." Shishio muttered, impressed with this attack.
Shishio's back made contact to the ground but only for a moment as he performs a flip getting back on his feet without the need of using his hands and charging at Kenshin again.
"Mugenjin Senkū (Infinity Blade Whirling Air)!" Shishio dashed forward swinging his sword so recklessly and fierce.
Kenshin reacted quickly seeing how fast Shishio is with the swing of his sword with blocking those strikes with his reverse blade sword, but those strikes have pushes him backward and can feel each of those attacks is fierce and kept his grip on his sword tightly so that it doesn't be force out of his hands.
"EAT THIS!" Shishio swung his sword again to push Kenshin back again.
Shishio moved his sword faster causing his fire technique to burst out again and the fire becoming a little larger than before and extending to reach Kenshin to burn him more his sleeve this time.
"(Let see how you'll escape from this, kid?)" Shishio thought smirked.
"Running away from your flame is what you expect of me to do, is that right?" Kenshin asked.
This got Shishio to look confuse, wondering if Kenshin is really going to try dodging his flames without any way to avoid the flames like before, but what he didn't expect is for Kenshin to jump forward toward the flames.
"Kenshin?!" The girls shocked.
"Is he out of his mind?!" Yumi shocked.
"What is he doing?" Shishio asked.
"Kuzuryūsen!" Kenshin unleashed his great rapid attack onto Shishio while going through the flames and striking at the surprised Shishio.
Shishio can feel those strikes hitting him harder and faster than he could react causing as he can feel few of his bones cracking from this attack then sent flying as he coughs up a little blood.
(Music End)
"You got to be fucking me?" Shishio groaned in pain.
"I'll admit, I was worried about being caught by those flames of yours again, but I've begun to understand your fighting style now meaning I will win." Kenshin believed.
"What was that?" Shishio asked as he force himself back up.
"You really think you can win just because you know how I fight?" Shishio glared at Kenshin with firm eyes with a calm expression.
"Oh please, don't think you can beat me now doesn't mean get me!" Shishio laughed as he is about to attack with his sword in the air.
But suddenly Kenshin appears right in front of him slashing at the madman in bandages with lots of furry attacks that is causing Shishio to feel great pain, but he remains standing on his feet.
"Is that all you got!" Shishio asked shouting.
"You don't need to shout." Kenshin said.
Kenshin parries away Shishio's attack with relatively ease and unleashing his own counterattacks with one even striking on the head, causing Shishio to stumble back a few feet though refuse to let this get to him as he charges in again.
Shishio grew angry from this as he tries to attack again as Kenshin prepare himself for what's about to come.
"Sōryūsen (Twin Dragon Flash)!" Kenshin struck Shishio with a double hit on the man causing two of his ribs to be broken.
"No, this can't be…" Yui shocked to see this.
The other soldiers are becoming shocked of seeing that Shishio is now getting beaten by this other world man, someone who is different than their Lord and just turn the tides against him in this battle.
"Damn you…" Shishio groaned with a fierce glare.
"How… How could you be this strong now?" Shishio asked.
"It's like I told you from the start, if you don't put your heart of feelings into the sword then it will become just a worthless weapon to be use for a senseless reason." Kenshin scolded.
"And now your fire has become nothing more than a little sparkler." Kenshin mocked as well.
"My fire… a sparkler?" Shishio gritted his teeth in rage, forcing himself to get back up despite his body screaming to stay down from the pain.
"You think my flames are nothing to you now?" Shishio asked panting.
"Don't you… Don't you are…" Shishio gripped his sword tightly and steam starts to come out from his body.
"(Oh no, his body is starting to steam. He's almost at his time limit!)" Yumi thought noticed this in shock.
"DON'T YOU DARE MOCK ME, KID?!" Shishio shouted in rage.
On Shishio's side where the soldiers are standing guard in front of the Crimson Armor, the armor itself starts to glow and that goes the same for the few armor pieces in Akechi's case. Almost like they're responding to something with a strong emotion.
"YOU'RE GOING TO BURN?!" Shishio charged at Kenshin to keep on battle.
Kenshin charge in as well clashing their blades at each other though Kenshin can easily block and even dodge some of his attacks reading his moves, and Shishio is getting angrier and angrier with how this kid is messing with him during this battle.
"Like I said, I'm now able to understand your moves." Kenshin reminded his opponent.
"Save for someone who gives a damn!" Shishio shouted as he continues attacking with rage.
"You really piss me off! I'm going enjoy killing you and after that, I'm going after your women and make them mine to break!" Shishio stated angry.
This causes Kenshin's eyes widen in both fear and anger upon hearing what Shishio just said.
"I'm not going to break them, I'll destroy their very being in bed and I'll even cut a hole in their stomach to destroy any unborn child then I'll torture them with my body so much that they'll beg to go for Hell instead of Heaven and forever be ashamed of the fact that I"
"Shut up." Kenshin said.
Shishio didn't realize this until it was too late, all he could see was Kenshin right in front of him with such deadly eyes that look yellow and vicious.
"Nijūnanazuryūsen!" Kenshin unleashed a more powerful version of the Kuzuryūsen onto Shishio.
"Oh no, Kenshin is scary again. Just like that time." Hideyoshi feared, remembering how scary Kenshin was when he's angry.
"Do not worry, our beloved is still our beloved even with those eyes." Nobunaga believed.
"You're done, I'm going to break that body of yours and live you alive so you can forever feel the utter defeat in your pitiful life." Kenshin glared down at Shishio.
"No…" Shishio said.
Suddenly all the pieces of the Crimson Armor glows.
"I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!" Shishio shouted in rage.
Suddenly the Crimson Armor pieces came flying out of their places and right onto Shishio forming the full set of armor much to everyone's shock.
"Now you will die… KENSHIN HIMURA!" Shishio shouted.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Damn, Kenshin had the upper hand to beat down Shishio and more if he hadn't made those threatening claims of torturing his lovers like that, but now the Crimson Armor came together giving Shishio such extreme power that Kenshin is gonna have a hard time to deal with.
