Part 9: Raid, Part 2...
Rei sidesteps to the left of Konesuke's arrow and grabs it with her right hand. She spins around and throws the arrow back at Konesuke, it cuts the long-bow into two pieces and barely misses Konesuke's head. Konesuke throws the broken bow to the floor and takes an un-armed fighting stance... his right hand out infront of him with the palm facing to his left, his left hand pulled back in a fist at his side, his legs seperated several inches, with his right foot placed infront of him and his left behind. Rei half-grins under her mask and also enters a fighting stance... her left hand outstretched infront of her with the fingers separated(slightly bent at the knuckles) and the palm facing her opponent, she steps back with her right foot, she brings her right hand up to her chest and grips it into a solid fist.
~*~*~
"Look out!" Haruka shouts to Makoto, as a Demon hurls a javelin at the brunette.
Makoto rolls to her left, avoiding the weapon, and comes up in a crouch. The brunette cups her left hand over her right shoulder, where the tip of the metal javelin grazed it, and stands up. Two of the three Demons pull out a weapon: One pulls out a Halberd(similar to a Spear), the other pulls out a long Chain, and the third remains un-armed... the Demons introduce themselves...
"I am Alkaar." the one with the Chain says.
"My name is Domokal." says the one with the Halberd.
"And, I am Stolax." the un-armed Demon adds.
The three, in unison, "We are the Diabolos Trio!"
So, Each of the warriors pair up against a different Demon...
Minako - Alkaar
Haruka - Stolax
Makoto - Domokal
~*~*~
Rei dodges a left punch, thrown by Konesuke, and swings a right kick which Konesuke ducks. Konesuke tries a jumping uppercut(similar to Ryu's Dragon-Punch in Street Fighter) but, Rei leans back slightly and avoids it. She jumps back, lands on her hands and then pushes off, and lands on her feet(ya know, a Backflip).
Konesuke lands and looks at Rei. The Demon smirks and enters another fighting stance... this time he raises his right hand above his head, opening his palm and lays his hand back, he holds his left hand out infront of him and faces the open palm toward himself, and bends his knees a few centimeters. Rei changes her stance also... she kneels down on her left knee, brings her left arm across her torso(just below her breasts), she extends her arm right arm out infront of her above her left arm, and opens her right palm facing forward to the left.
~*~*~
Minako dodges the heavy chain swung at her and snaps her whip toward Alkaar. The whip wraps around the Demon's neck but, Alkaar grabs the whip and jerks Mina down onto the floor. Minako doesn't release the whip, though, and instead pulls tighter. Then, With a very hard jerk on the handle of her whip, the blonde pulls the Demon to the floor hard. Alkaar gets up to one knee and swings his chain again at Minako. She jumps up to avoid the impact and a small spike extends downward from the side of her boot.
Mina performs a graceful mid-air forward somersault and lodges the spike down into Alkaar, next to his neck and a few centimeters behind his collarbone. Her left foot rests beside the right side of his head. Minako swivels her hips to one side and breaks the Demon's neck. She pulls the spike out of him, allowing purle blood to spew from the wound and the Demon falls to his chest on the floor.
~-~-~
'This guy's pretty strong.' Haruka thinks, as she dodges a punch and kicks Stolax in the side of his head. The sandy-blonde follows up with a combination of punches and kicks to Stolax's torso. However, The Demon doesn't fall and swings a left kick toward the woman. Haruka catches his leg under her right arm and combines hitting the leg with a left elbow from above and a right knee-kick from below, breaking the Demon's leg. But, Stolax manages to get his broken-leg free and spin on his right foot, hitting Haruka with a left back-hand punch to the left side of her face.
Blood trickles from the side of Haruka's mouth. She wipes the blood away and the side of her mouth curls into a menacing half-grin. Stolax attempts a *clap*-attack(swinging his fists inward toward the sides of Haruka's head). Haruka raises her arms and blocks both the Demon's arms, then does a karate-style chop to both sides of Stolax's neck, causing him to drop to his knees, gripping his throat. She grabs the Demon's head with both hands, her right hand on his forehead and her left on the back of his head. Haruka grins and jerks his head around backward, then uses her strength and pulls hard upward, jerking the Demon's head off his shoulders. Blood spews from Stolax's body, where his head once was, as it falls over in a pool of purple blood. Haruka holds the head in her right hand for a second, then tosses it over her shoulder.
~-~-~
Makoto parries a thrust of Domokal's halberd and thrusts the sharp tip of her spear through the Demon's chest. Makoto jerks the spear back out of the Demon, causing blood to spurt from the wound but, he doesn't fall. Instead, He thrusts the blunt end of his halberd into Makoto's abdomen, causing her to take a step back. Domokal does an uppercut-swing with the shaft of the halberd into the brunette's right jaw.
However, Mako uses the force and momentum to carry her all the way around in a full-circle. As the spin finishes, Mako performs an uppercut-slash with the blade of her spear up the Demon's torso, cutting him wide-open and causing him to scream out in pain. Domokal falls to the floor and vaporizes, along with Stolax and Alkaar.
"Whew!" Minako says, brushing her blonde hair from her face, "I'm glad that's over."
"I'm not sure it is." Makoto says. The three see the shadow of another warrior.
The warrior walks toward the three and they notice a few features: it's a man, he's human, and dressed as a Ninja.
"Who are you?" asks Haruka.
The mysterious Ninja doesn't say a word instead, he raises his right hand with his index-finger extended and holds the finger up to his mouth, in a *shhh* gesture. He then lowers his hand and nods his head toward a door. Minako and the others look, and then the warrior disappears.
"Should we trust him?" asks Makoto.
"I think so." Minako says, "He didn't seem to be evil."
"Okay, Let's go." Haruka adds.
~*~*~
Konesuke attempts a lunging left punch at Rei, the punch hits but, Rei recovers and retaliates by thrusting a right sidekick into the Demon's abdomen. Konesuke drops to a knee and Rei swishes her ponytail from one side to the other. Konesuke vanishes and reappears about 6 feet away from Rei, standing up. He removes his helmet and throws it to the floor.
"Not bad." he says, as he removes his mask, revealing a somewhat disfigured face, "But, This is where it gets *interesting*." He pulls his katana from it's scabbard on his back.
"......"
"Well?" Konesuke says, "Shall we go again?"
"......" Rei remains silent.
Konesuke shrugs his shoulders and dashes toward the raven-haired woman. Konesuke performs an overhead swing at Rei but, she bridges backward and draws her two sai. She catches the katana's blade between two of the three prongs on the sai in her left hand and stabs at Konesuke with the other. The male Ninja jumps back to avoid the sai-tip, and takes a sword-stance, holding his katana in his right hand and his left arm outstretched infront of him.
"I've killed thousands of human warriors... Samurai, Shogun, and Ninja." Konesuke states, confidently, "You will be no different." he smirks and asks, "Any last words?"
"......" again, Rei says nothing, as she prepares for the final attack.
"Fine!" Konesuke says and he dashes toward Rei again.
Konesuke tries several swings with his katana but, most of them are parried by Rei's sai. But, Being as fast as he is, Konesuke does manage to connect with three swipes of his blade: one on Rei's left arm, another to her right leg and the third along the right side of her waist. Rei merely grunts, slightly, and continues parrying katana swings. Finally, The Demon attempts another overhead swing, which is what Rei has been waiting for, she catches the blade with both sai and twists the sai in different directions, breaking the blade of the katana, Konesuke takes a retreating step back. Realizing it's time to finish it, Rei jumps up and wraps her legs around Konesuke's torso. She raises both sai into the air, twirls them once around her middle fingers, and thrusts them down into the flesh at the bottom of Konesuke's neck, litterally cutting out the Demon's ability to scream out in pain. Blood sprays from Konesuke's neck and Rei merely forces the sai deeper into his neck, his head lays back. Rei releases the dead Demon with her legs and lets go of both sai. The Demon falls to the floor and vaporizes.
After it's over, Rei kneels down and reaches inside her outfit. She pulls out two pieces of material. The raven-haired woman uses her right hand to put one around the upper-part of her left arm and, by using her teeth as another hand, ties the cloth tight to at least slow the bleeding. She ties the other piece, using both hands, around her leg and stands back up. Unfortunately, She doesn't have a way to stop the bleeding from her side.
"......" Rei turns and continues on to Mamoru's throne-room.
~Throne-Room~
"Come on." Mamoru says, aloud, "I'm waiting for you!"

To Be Continued...
Yep! Another cliffhanger! But, Don't worry, There's only one more chapter of this fic! Well, I hope you all like this weird fic of mine! I think it's come along really well. Still, I hope you will review and, I don't care if it's flames, I like fire! So, Tune in next time, for the last part(I'm thinking of calling it Final Confrontation).
Chapter 9! Almost the end! I believe this story will be 10 chapters long.
