Phantom Dancer
Part 3: Ghost of the Past
Julie-Su stared with disbelief at the person. His white fur, those dark blue streaks, that gray hair, and those blue eyes. Julie-Su stood there staring as he approached her. Once he was an arm length away he bowed deeply and then stood straight. He extended his left hand. "May I have this dance me lady?"
Julie-Su nodded as she took his hand and placed the other on his shoulder. He placed his free hand on her waist and then they began to dance. "Is it really you Blade?" She asked after awhile.
"I'm not the Blade you know." He said frowning. "I'm a mirror image of him from his days as a pirate. Your Blade is far ahead of here. Only you can get to him and save him. I will guide you as much as I can."
"So if you're not my Blade then are you still Blade?"
"In a manner of speaking yes, but my name is Captain Jim Hawking. Blade never used his name when he was me or any of his other forms."
"Other forms?"
"You'll meet three other forms along the way. One will be Blade as the samurai Ishikawa Nobokan, one as the deadly ninja assassin Jin, and the last will be the Blade you first met, Blade of the Dark Legion."
"Are they evil?" Julie-Su asked as Captain Jim Hawking spun her out and then in.
"Ishikawa Nobokan is very respectful and kind, the other two are pure evil."
"What about you?"
"I may have been a pirate but I was known as Jim Hawking the Angel of Death."
"I see. So after I get past them what will I see?"
"Even I can't answer for that. Blade is somewhere in these walls but I don't know where nor what form he is in. If you remember he had three other forms after the Dark Legion that he could be in."
"And those are what?"
"There could be Blade the unholy murderer of Dreamworld, the exact same Blade but of reality, and then your Blade."
"You mean I may not even find my Blade?" Julie-Su asked as she began to cry slightly.
"There is a chance of that. Those three forms of Blade appeared here at different times. Which one is still alive, in a manner of speaking, is beyond me. Just don't lose hope." With that Captain Jim Hawking spun Julie- Su out and then it went dark. She was back with Tails and Lara-Su. They were still asleep.
Julie-Su didn't know what to do. Should she leave or stay. Captain Jim Hawking told her she would have to go alone. "Sorry about this." She wrote a note out on a piece of paper and left them. She passed the same hallways except the ball room was gone and nothing but a small room.
Julie-Su continued on until she entered, rather left, the temples. She was out on a large plain. The skies above were filled with dark clouds. Thunder rolled out in the distance and she could hear war going on. Then she saw him coming riding up. It was Ishikawa Nobokan. He had on traditional oriental armor of gold and silver. The suit underneath was green. On his chest plate was the mon of some person. Julie-Su guessed it was of an Emperor. In his purple obi was his katana and wakizashi. In his right hand was a double-sided crescent pike. He slowed the horse and came to a stop. He flipped the pike upside down and threw it in the ground next to him. He then removed the silver mempo on his face and took his helmet off.
"Are you Ishikawa Nobokan?"
"Hai. I am Nobokan of the Ishikawa family. You must be Lady Julie-Su."
"I am." Nobokan got off his steed and walked over to Julie-Su. It was then she noticed just how much bigger he appeared in armor and how unstoppable he appeared.
"You were sent hear by that blasted pirate. I am here to inform you with only one question."
"I can ask one thing about what is up ahead?"
"Hai."
Julie-Su thought about it long and hard. "What is Jin like?"
"Jin." Nobokan lowered his head in thought. "He's a treacherous, backstabbing, low-life, no good, murderer that looks for the largest pay. I warn you to be ready against him if you plan to continue on to find Lord Blade."
"Thank you." Just as Julie-Su blinked and opened her eyes she was in a hallway. The field was gone. She looked at her feet and their sat the exact katana Ishikawa Nobokan had in his obi. It was slightly unsheathed. Julie- Su bent down to pick it up when she saw a white face in the reflection with yellow eyes. It had deadly looking fangs and an open mouth. It looked like a smiling face with saddened eyes.
Julie-Su leapt back in fear. When she approached it again she saw nothing. "That must have been Jin." She thought. Just then she heard something ahead. It sounded like laughter, but it was to menacing to be a laugh. Julie-Su lifted the katana and stumbled forward. "Geez this is heavy. How did you do it Blade?" She unsheathed the katana and proceeded forward.
The next place she came to was a surprise. It was huge. It was an entire town of oriental make. It was full of people too.
Julie-Su looked about and decided to sheath the katana. She walked about as she looked for anything odd. She turned a corner when she bumped into a short man. He was a jackal and quite old. "I'm so sorry."
"That's all right. I should have been more careful myself." He said smiling. He then noticed the sword Julie-Su was carrying. "That belongs to the great General Ishikawa Nobokan."
"Yes it does."
"Well good day." Julie-Su bowed to the old man and was about to continue on when a small knife landed in the wall near her. She looked back at the old man who no longer was using his cane nor bent over. "Hope today was good for you as it will be your last." His voice was deep and mighty. His turned into an endless see of glowing yellow.
Julie-Su watched as a tall dark figure emerged from the old man. He was a foot or so taller then Julie-Su. His black shoes with white at the back, those dark blue hakimas, that dark blue vest with a long sleeve black shirt on underneath, those dark blue gloves with red trim, that black hood, and that white mask. It was Jin. She gasped at his size.
He was huge. She couldn't image how Blade was this man at one point. "You're Jin."
"Well thank you for pointing out the obvious." His mouth didn't move. It must be a mempo. "I cannot allow you to proceed. If you wish to move ahead then you must beat me." He then flicked his gloved wrist and out emerged blades like the ones that came out of Blade's metal right hand.
Julie-Su unsheathed the katana and got ready to fight. Jin crouched low and then shot upward high into the air. She heard him clang the claws together and then saw him come spinning down like a comet. She decided to not engage this attack and leapt away. He hit the ground and shattered it. Julie-Su was about to swing at him but received a kicked to the chest. She felt the air shot out of her. She was about to counter when he planted his hand on the ground and horse kicked her in the gut.
When Julie-Su got up she found no sign of Jin. She turned to her right to see him resting on a wall with only the use of his feet. "What the?!" He pushed off with the claws leading. She stepped away. He pushed off the ground and swung again. Soon Julie-Su was running backwards as he kept coming with crazed swings. Finally she blocked and his claws locked on. She got an idea.
Julie-Su twisted the katana in a clockwise turn. Jin tried to counter put the pressure on the claws was too much and they broke. He flung his hands to the sides to get rid of the remainder of them. "I'm impressed, but not done yet." He then jumped up and aimed a kick for her temple. She rolled under it and swung at his back side. He leaned backwards over the blade and pushed himself of his hands. Julie-Su blinked in surprise at the skill of the dodge.
He then countered with a blur of kicks using only his right foot. Julie-Su dodged most but took many shots. When he stopped he back flipped into a crouch and then leapt forth with a cross chop. Julie-Su had enough time to counter and kicked him in the bottom of the rip cage. She was amazed at how he flew back so limply. He rolled into a wall and then shot up. He flew forward with no obvious attack. Julie-Su swung out at him with the katana and clipped his mask.
He flinched just enough that she could kick him in the lower jaw. She heard something crack and thought it was his jaw. She then saw a crack run through his mask and then part of it fell off. His right showed underneath but the eye was white. She then stepped back with a gasp.
"I admit defeat." He said. She didn't even see his muscles move when he spoke. "You may be wondering how I turned out like this." She nodded. "This mask belonged to a deadly warrior from the past. The mask doesn't possess me but drives me to kill. It damages my face and the only way I could fix it was to commit seppuku."
"I see." Just then Jin's face jerked about. "What is it?"
"Curse it. Blade of the Dark Legion is moving about more then he should be. Kragok and Kommisar are with him."
"What?!"
"Did you think only Blade's past selves where here?" The tall Jin stood up and brushed himself off. "Give me the katana."
"Why?!"
"You're running out of time. There will be a solar eclipse soon in the real world. If you are in the temple when it occurs you and anyone else in here will join us from beyond the grave."
"Are you saying that you could leave this place?"
"Exactly. That's why Kragok is moving with Kommisar and Blade. They hope to become living again. I will move ahead and stop them. You must move past us and find Blade of your time. I can't answer for what form he is but you must go ahead."
Julie-Su handed him the katana. "Thank you."
Jin began to run off when he stopped. He glanced over his shoulder slightly. "If I die then I ask you of one favor."
"What's that?" Jin took his mask off and threw it to Julie-Su.
"Cast that into Red Mountain." Julie-Su nodded and he was off. She saw his shadow vanish as it jumped onto a roof and was gone.
"Thank you." Julie-Su proceeded forward as she was running out of time.
