TAKI
After grueling battles, Taki finally faced Nightmare.
"Deceived one, say your prayers!" the lithe ninja said.
"Feh," Nightmare responded brusquely. "I don't think so."
"Excuse me?"
"You're not worth my time."
"Perhaps you'll think differently," Taki huffed, "when you've felt the sting of my ninja magic. En garde!"
"BAH!" Nightmare yelled. "I await true, unique warriors so I can take their strong souls! You are merely one of several fake ninja girls out there. I don't need you."
"Fake? What are you talking about?" Taki said.
"You're all the same. You claim 'I'm a ninja! I'm bad! Fear my ninja tricks! Turtle in fear of my speed!' Yet all of you, to a woman, don't act much like ninjas.
"Take the Shiranui clan, for instance. Every member of the line prances around in those gaudy, revealing costumes like whorish dancers in dockside pubs. Apart from a few fire tricks, the bulk of their magic seems to revolve around staying in their clothes while 'fighting.' Or the Mugen Tenjin clan, with the same problem. No matter who is selected to the ranks of kuniochi, they all just happen to be hair-dyed, top-heavy eye candy who need toupee paste just to stay decent.
"And you, 'Taki,'" Nightmare now spat, "hardly look like a ninja at all in that clothing, if it can be called that! You seem to think that by dragging a flimsy mask over your nose, suddenly you can claim ninjahood. BAH!"
"If you're quite done criticizing the fashion traditions of the kuniochi," Taki said, controlling her anger, "would you please make your point?"
"My point? I shouldn't have to say it!" Nightmare roared. "Ninja are creatures of the night! They blend in with the darkness and appear from nowhere! They strike without warning and vanish without trace! THEY WEAR LOTS OF DARK, BAGGY CLOTHES!
"You so-called 'kuniochi' are too busy flashing your cleavage around to ever sneak up on anyone! You, I saw coming a mile away! You're a disgrace to a disgraceful profession! It's no wonder you're being hunted by your own clan!"
"Eeeeyah!" Taki yelled in frustration, finally losing her temper. "DEMON, BEGONE!"
(Author's Note: To those who don't know, the Shiranui clan refers to the famously bouncy ninja Mai in the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series, and the Mugen Tenjin clan are Kasumi and her sister Ayame from the famously bouncy Dead or Alive games. And then there's Taki, who was, in actuality, the *first* game character to bounce in 3D polygons. )
