Well hello there fellow ficcers! I'm actually kinda back on schedule here.
Now I am MUCHO happier with the seven reviews for the last chapter of this
story than I am for the ONE (grrrr. . .) review for my other story. Any
way, that's neither here nor there, so moving on. . . On with the story!
Chapter 26: Egyptian God Fights Japanese Street Punk (what will the neighbors say?)
Yusuke was in a bit of a conundrum. Osiris was proving to be significantly harder than he thought any ancient mummy god had any right to be, and he was getting quite ticked off. It wasn't that Osiris was BETTER than Yusuke, if anything they were virtually equal in every way. Strength, speed, intelligence, guts, no matter what, Osiris was there to counter any move Yusuke tried. And what was even more annoying was that if he even tried to talk or gain his breath, Osiris was suddenly right in front of him, hammer fisting Yusuke in the head. As near as he could tell, the others were having the same exact problem.
Bast was still slashing and swiping at Kurama with her claws, and had even pulled out some sort of club thing as a weapon, and Kurama was doing everything he could just to dodge the rampaging goddess. He had managed to get his Rose Whip out though, and he seemed to be pulling some seeds out right when Osiris knocked Yusuke's legs out from under him.
Yusuke managed to roll out of the way of Osiris's following elbow drop, and even managed to clip the mummy's head with a well placed kick, but they were both immediately up, and that kick didn't seem to have any effect on Yusuke's opponent.
Just then Yusuke caught a glimpse of Hiei's fight with Sobek. The crocodile god was biting and slashing at the little demon, and occasionally managed to sweep it's tail into Hiei's chest or legs, and as speedy as the Hiei was, he still wasn't able to dodge all of Sobek's attacks. He seemed to be having the hardest of things, since so many of his attacks needed time to power up, and he just wasn't quite able to get the power necessary without focusing, which Sobek wisely prevented at every opportunity. Osiris managed to get a right hook into Yusuke's face, and Yusuke replied with an uppercut to the god's chin. This seemed to do a little damage though, and Yusuke was quick to use his time to charge up a Shotgun blast, and luckily, this too hit.
The problem was that Osiris recovered soon afterward and managed to get another blow to Yusuke's stomache. As he was sent flying, Yusuke saw a bit of Sano's battle with Thoth. Thoth definitely seemed to have the advantage, because every time Sano was about to land a punch on the bird-headed god, his opponent suddenly wasn't there anymore. Instead he was right behind Sano, and was powering up another spell, but Sano managed to duck and kick out behind him, catching Thoth off guard and off his feet.
After Yusuke managed to get back up, Osiris was there again, and when he was just about to kick Yusuke in the stomach, Yusuke jumped up and did a flip kick right into the god's face. Sadly though, the god caught Yusuke by the foot before he landed and slammed him into the wall. Just as he was about to punch Yusuke again though, he found himself with a face full of Spirit Gun, and was knocked off of HIS feet for a change. As Osiris was getting back up, Yusuke caught sight of Kenshin's fight with Anubis, who had pulled out a rod and was using it to block all of the attacks that Kenshin made. Since it was already blunt though, the sakabatou didn't get quite as damaged as was expected, and though Kenshin was most used to using his sword in a fight, he wasn't above using the occasional punch or kick if that was what was needed. In fact, he had just finished back flipping off of his opponent's head when Osiris had gotten back up and took another swing at Yusuke.
Yuske rolled under the blow, and managed to do another sweep kick, which Osiris jumped over just in time. Yusuke was prepare with another punch to the face, but just as he connected, so did Osiris with another kick to the chest.
Just as Osiris was about to get back up, Yusuke felt another source of power. * Please don't let that be ANOTHER god.* he silently prayed, as his fight with Osiris continued.
****************************
He knew he shouldn't have left his friends during the night, but he also knew that he didn't have a choice. If he did not get there in time, there was no telling what could happen. He continued his trek through the strange desert, and hoped that everyone would be fine until he got back.
Riddle me this: Who is this new player? If you don't know, you haven't been reading both stories. As always, I highly recommend that you do.
P.S. I've just started an account at the Pojo message boards, and also at Edo's as well. If you ever want to talk to me there, look for Charninja. Be seeing ya!
