Chapter 22
They walked through the dark woods, tired. Suddenly, they saw a cave far up ahead of them, and then, a large tree standing before it with a dishevled looking tree house built within the branches.
"This must be the Lone Wolf Warrior's Secret Layer," Hotohori mused.
"What makes you say that?" Chichiri wondered.
Hotohori pointed at the large banner hanging on the tree trunk that read, "The Lone Wolf Warrior's Secret Layer."
"So THAT must be the cave where the Damsels are," Tasuki growled.
The men stepped forward to the cave, but just then, lightening issued from the sky, and as Nakago muttered "Soi" and Tomo followed up with "Sauce," the Lone Wolf Warrior appeared.
Nakago growled, his symbol glowing. Everyone put up their weapons.
"So?" the Lone Wolf Warrior barked. "You thought you could pass through my obstacles and get to your precious Damsels to save them, didn't you?"
"We DID get through your stupid obstacles," Tasuki reminded the Lone Wolf Warrior.
The Lone Wolf Warrior cleared his throat.
"You are all pathetic. You may have passed the other Wolf Warriors, but you shall never get past me. What's this? WednesWolf, what are you doing with that Warrior?"
WednesWolf cowered behind Tasuki, growling slightly.
"HA!" Tasuki shouted. "Got me self my own wolf! How's THAT for you, mister Wolf Lone Warrior?!"
The Lone Wolf Warrior sighed, shaking his head. "How sad. You made your self a friend, Tasuki, but soon, you are going to die. You will all die. None shall survive the wrath of the Lone Wolf Warrior!"
Hotohori stepped forward, though Nakago's symbol was glowing.
"Let me handle this one," Hotohori said. "My sword has never failed. I shall defeat the Lone Wolf Warrior once and for all, his death will be on my sword, it shall run with his blood."
The Lone Wolf Warrior laughed. "And yet, I have been able to injure you countless times in all of our previous battles! Ha ha ha!"
Nakago's symbol was glowing. Chichiri stepped forward.
"Let me take care of him, Your Majesty," Chichiri said, "he's right, no da. He has injured you countless of times, and we don't want to loose you, no da. But I am skilled with my magic that I have learned from the great Naiidoska. I shall take him down."
"Ha!" the Lone Wolf Warrior cried. "You've forgotten that I have my OWN brand of magic! Do you not remember me turning dear Kristin-sama into a wolf? You can't defeat me!"
Chichiri started to growl, but Tasuki stepped forward, shouting, "Oh no you don't! Anyone who messes with MY woman is going to get it from me! I'm going to be the one who takes this damn Wolf Lone Warrior down. I ain't backing down a fight with YOU."
The Lone Wolf Warrior laughed. "Go ahead . . . be don't forget my own brand of fire. I shall scorch you until you are dead!"
Nakago's symbol was glowing, but Mitsukake stepped forward.
"Tasuki, it is almost pointless for you to fight him," Mitsukake said, "you've seen his . . . um . . . fire power. It would be too easy. And you might hurt more than you mean to. Allow me to take care of him."
"YOU?!" everyone shouted.
"Yes," Mitsukake said, sighing. "No one cares about me anyway, I'm such a minor character, no one will care if I die. I'll distract him. You can go get the Damsels."
"No!" Hotohori cried. "We shall not let you do such a thing, Mitsukake!"
"I have no fans!" Mitsukake cried. "Why does it matter?!"
"You have fans, Mitsukake!" Tasuki cried. "Loads of them!"
"Yeah, right! Name them!"
Everyone became silent.
"Perhaps," Miboshi said, "one of us Seiryu should take care of this sticky mess."
"Miboshi, don't!" Hotohori said, but Miboshi was stepping forward.
"I've lost an arm, I know. But I can still summon the greatest of all demons, and I will defeat you, Lone Wolf Warrior. You have taken my love from me, and I will have her back."
The Lone Wolf Warrior laughed. "But you always collapse when you summon your demons! Very well, try! We'll see who STILL STANDING when the battle is over, Ha ha ha!"
Nakago's symbol was still glowing.
Tomo stepped forward.
"No, Miboshi," he said. "You can't handle this. The Lone Wolf Warrior's right. You're too weak. You're missing an arm. You'll die in vain, and never be able to see your Makiko again! Let me take care of this, you guys. The Lone Wolf Warrior has never been too good with the Illusionary arts."
"HA!" the Lone Wolf Warrior cried. "If I can do magic, I can do illusions. Just you watch me . . . try and defeat me, Tomo. If you are the one who shall battle me."
There was an uproar within the warriors, before Hothori shouted, "That's it! It's either all of us, or none. Let us defeat this Lone Wolf Warrior once and for all! Our Damsels need us!"
The Warriors all thrust their arms into the air, giving a triumphant shout. The Lone Wolf Warrior grinned.
"This will be easy," he said, "I can get rid of you all at once, then!"
Everyone's weapons were out, and the Lone Wolf Warrior changed himself into his Wolf form.
Nakago snapped.
"That's it!" he shouted. "It's MY turn, damn it! You guys have already taken all the battles!"
"Nakago, don't be silly," Mitsukake said. "You've been doing every single of the obstacles for us. It's time we have a turn at fighting."
That did it. Nakago not only ki-blasted the Lone Wolf Warrior, but he ki-blasted the other Warriors, where they flew back on to the wall of the cave. The Lone Wolf Warrior vanished from sight, defeated for the moment.
The Warriors staggered to their feet, and noticed that the Lone Wolf Warrior was gone.
"He's gone!" Tasuki shouted happily! From Chichiri's hat he pulled out a Mexican hat, and out of nowhere, Koji appeared, and the two did their happy dance.
Hotohori gasped. "Oh no! LOOK!"
The cave wall was cracking from where Nakago had ki-blasted everyone against it.
"The Damsels!" all the Warriors shouted, and they ran into the cave, as it started to crumble down on them, hoping that they would be able to get their Damsels out in time . . .
They walked through the dark woods, tired. Suddenly, they saw a cave far up ahead of them, and then, a large tree standing before it with a dishevled looking tree house built within the branches.
