33. Triumphant Duo
"Sakura. Watch my back and I'll watch yours, got that?" Darrell called.
"Yeah, gotcha." Sakura K. responded, still thinking on how Darrell got so much energy back after about 15 seconds or so. Then again, she sort of knew that he borrowed it from her. Both went into their fighting stances, side by side and eyed their adversary.
"You kids are so naïve." Akuma started. "Do you really think that both of you can take me out?"
"You should shut up," Darrell said boldly. "I've had enough of you preaching to me about how to fight. I thought you were a killer."
Akuma's eyes widened to extreme after that quote. "Fool!"
He teleported right into Darrell's face, ready to deck him but Darrell caught his fist with ease.
"Why didn't I notice all these openings before?" he asked himself. "I guess. I was feeling to down in the dumps to notice. but now, I know. Sakura IS my strength, Akuma! Get this through your head! That's my power, right there!"
And with that, Darrell uppercutted Akuma into the air with a close-ranged Shakunetsuken Upper. and Sakura followed up.
"HADOUKEN!!" she yelled as she fired a huge Hadouken right upwards, sending Akuma into the far side of the area. Darrell followed in hot pursuit, charging up a Shakunetsuken Sword. Just as Akuma got up, he threw his sword right into his stomach. Well not exactly. Once again Darrell met the Tatsumaki Zanku Kyaku to Gou-Shoryuken. but somehow this one didn't hurt so much. Darrell recovered in air and struck Akuma on descent, making him reel. Darrell stood his ground, waiting on Akuma's next move.
"Ugh. You.!" the demon let out, charging up another Gou-Hadouken. but never did.
"SHOUOKEN!"
Sakura came from the side, hitting him out of his special move. Akuma went airborne and threw two Zanku Hadouken at her. As he landed. he came face to face with Darrell, who was wearing a big smile.
"Hi. Have we met somewhere before?"
Akuma twitched at that and tried to deck him in the face. He forgot something, though: Darrell's sword. Darrell put it up and immediately countered, stunning his foe. He then withdrew the sword and grabbed Akuma by one arm and threw about 5 punches to his gut, then went behind his back, putting Akuma in a Nelson lock.
"Sakura! Let him have it!"
Sakura immediately came in front of Akuma.
"Now. let me introduce you to my own little take on my sister's move. Haru."
Everything went white and Sakura let loose her Harugokusatsu. After she was done, Akuma was grounded, Sakura brushed her hands clean, and Darrell just had his back to Akuma, looking at him over his shoulder.
"That's how it's done!" both teens taunted at the same time. Darrell then turned around, looking at Akuma. He looked like he was out cold.
"We'll. he looks like he's finished." he said cautiously. "What about you?"
"I don't sense anything." she responded. A silence passed before she went on with, "Now what?"
"I don't know."
Instantly, Akuma disappeared, catching both off guard.
"What the?!?" Darrell gasped. A golden yellow glow came from above them. and in a flash, he was hanging from Akuma's bloodied fist, Sakura laid out on the ground.
"You. You brats underestimated me." Akuma growled. "Now I will show absolutely NO MERCY!!!"
His other fist went into a Satsu flame and he prepared to drive right into his body. but something made him stop. It was a laugh. coming from Darrell.
"You aren't what you're cut out to be."
"What?!"
"You might be concentrating on me. but aren't you forgetting someone?"
"The girl is finished! What are you babbling about?!"
"Actually, she's fine. and I'm not talking about her. How about. her dark side.?"
At the same time, Akuma received a huge blow from behind, dropping his victim. He whirled around to see where it came from. and in an instant everything went black and hits landed. Eighteen hits later, Sakura S. was standing over a jacked up Shin Akuma, smiling.
"I can't believe he was so gullible. You purposely let yourself get hit by that just to let me get my two cents in. Thanks, guys."
"No problem," Sakura K. said while getting up. "That hurts, though.'
Darrell laughed a bit. "Yeah. but. now I think I have something to say to a certain individual."
He went over to Akuma, who was still out, and said, "Listen. I really don't want to be bothered with you. Why don't you crawl back in the hole that you spawned from and stay there? I have no idea why you're after us. but now you know that you can't beat us. I'm outta here."
Darrell then turned around and faced the two Sakuras and said, "Let's go. This battle is enough for me."
"Same here," Sakura S. added and they started to leave.
SWOOSH!!
The wind between Darrell and Sakura rose up high as a huge purple Hadouken slashed between them, making them stop. Of course it came from a severely wounded Shin Akuma that just wouldn't give up.
"I. will not. TOLERATE THIS!!!" Akuma yelled. "I will most surely rather die than lose to a bunch of kids! You will NOT escape."
Darrell and Sakura K. didn't turn around. Instead a single gold aura surrounded their bodies.
".We. have had. ENOUGH OF YOU, AKUMA!" both said simultaneously as they faced the demon. "It's time WE FINISHED YOU OFF!!!"
Akuma stomped on the ground, a large red aura erupting off his back.
"MESSATSU."
Neither teen said anything. They have seen his use this move over and over again. They just laid back, getting into twin Hadouken stances.
"GOU."
Akuma charged up his Hadouken in his hands.
"HADOU!!!"
He launched. but the two remained in stance. A red surge of energy entered Darrell's hands. and a pink one in Sakura's.
"Shakunetsu." Darrell started.
A pause as they saw the Hadouken come closer.
"Shinku."
"Nekketsu."
Darrell almost got out of stance as he heard Sakura call out the first name of her super. Correction. This wasn't a super combo. It was a meteor combo. He smiled. and called out.
"HADOUKEN!!!"
"HADOUKEN!!!"
Both fired at the same time, mimicking the mixture Darrell and Ryu used to defeat him last time. Just before Darrell saw the mix, he looked at Sakura's Nekketsu Hadouken. It was WAY larger than her normal Shinku Hadouken, even besting Darrell's blast in size.
{Wonder where she learned that at.}
It collided with the Messatsu Gou-Hadou. and it wasn't a contest. It quickly destroyed the blast. and by the time Shin Akuma noticed it, it was too late. He didn't even get to scream. The blast was too fast. It collided. and his body was torn apart by the vigor. When it exploded, the flash was so huge that all three teenagers cover their eyes. It ended within 5 seconds. and when they looked at the spot where Akuma was, all they saw was a huge Satsu aura hovering in the air.
"What the.?" Sakura K. let out. "Sis. Is that.?"
"Yes. That's Akuma's energy." Sakura S. responded.
"Now what?" the light twin asked.
"I tell you what we're going to do." Darrell said while charging up another Shakunetsu Shinku Hadouken. "We destroy it before it moves. and we have another freak to worry about."
"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to do that."
All three gasped at the totally new voice. It was male and it came from. all over.
"Who's there!?" Sakura S. yelled out in the woods.
"Heh. You shall see."
Suddenly the aura started to move to the right, as if it was being sucked in somewhere. The teens looked to its end path. and gasped at a large shadow near a tree. It's hand was outstretched, getting ready to claim the energy from it's own.
"NO!!! I WON"T LET YOU GET THAT!!!" Darrell screamed as he hurried to charge his Hadouken and fired. It traveled as fast as it could, aiming for the energy rather than the man. but it was too late. The glow surrounded the figure, smashing the Hadouken out the way. All the three could do was stare in horror as the man's power went up... Way up...
"Who... are you...?" Sakura K. asked.
After the absorption was complete the man gave his reply.
"I was Rugal Bernstein... but now... you can call me... Ultimate Rugal..."
That's all for now. Tell me how you like it so far (please no flames.) Chapter 34 "Enter Ultimate Rugal" is coming soon.
"Sakura. Watch my back and I'll watch yours, got that?" Darrell called.
