SAMURAI BOOMER
Episode 9
Duel to the Death
By Secret7

There was silence. Both of them knew the message. It was time for silence. Until—
"You will die in vain," Aku said in the clone's body.
"Oh, c'mon! Will you just shut the hell up and start fighting already?" Boomer asked, suddenly flying forward with his sword, nearly stabbing the clone in the stomach.
Aku laughed darkly. "You do realize how pathetic that was, right?" He began laughing evilly. Boomer lunged forth—and missed. "You cannot win. I have your powers and more, how could you?" he asked mockingly. Boomer sliced at where Aku was standing, and the he missed in mid-air.
"You are so dead, you ugly freak!" he yelled, then suddenly realized the clone that he was fighting. "Wait a sec..." he said to himself.
WHAM
Boomer found himself in pain on one of the platforms. He had been kicked in the stomach.
"Nice sword," Aku said. He held out his hand as one of his own formed in it. "Looky at mine."
Aku stabbed the sword into the ground where Boomer's eyes were. It missed, thankfully. Boomer grabbed his sword, and in faint horror realized this was an uneven match. He didn't care.
He rushed forward, slamming the sword against the other, clashing against the other weapon. Reflections of light flew through the air in the chamber, and suddenly Boomer felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He grabbed it, and felt warm blood soaking his skin.
"HAHAhahaha!" laughed the clone. "You will succumb to my power! Do you really think that there is a single way you could survive now? Do you really believe that you can win?"
Boomer smiled a pained smile. "No. But I refuse to lose."
He grabbed his sword, slicing it through the air once more. Clashing sounds echoed across the area, as the two twins battled. Boomer grinned as his sword grew closer to Aku's neck, but then suddenly looked in horror as it missed. He blocked several rapid fire shots, and felt himself backing into a wall.
"God...I'm...I'm going to lose..." Boomer whispered to himself.
"God has nothing to do with this," Aku said coldly, clashing his sword against Boomer's. "If only you knew how clichéd that line was..." Boomer said. Aku sliced, and Boomer instinctively ducked, and directly tried to stab Aku. He was ready, and almost sliced Boomer in half. Aku threw his sword through the air, Boomer barely dodging, and the sword flew back into Aku's hands.
"No..." Boomer whispered. He realized that he was going to lose. Aku swung again, this time at Boomer's neck. He blocked it by a hair. Boomer couldn't attack at all. He was cornered.
"You will die a slow and painful death, like the samurai. If you admit defeat, I might quicken it. It will only hurt for a few seconds. Then you can go back to where you came from. You WILL see your brothers again. In Hell," Aku said.
"Thanks. But I'm not in the mood to visit them right now," Boomer said, smirking.
"Too bad," said Aku, suddenly stabbing his sword straight into Boomer's heart.
"Gaaah...gh..." he stammered. He felt pain all over.
"Only the dark succeed," Aku said, like a eulogy.
Boomer saw the darkness surrounding him.
"no..." he whispered faintly. It was cold. He hated it, he wanted to see Jack again, he wanted his life back, he wanted to—
"uh." Boomer felt his body sink to the ground. He felt no more.
Aku stood there, pulling out the sword. All he needed now was Jack. And he knew he could count on this body... A smile went through the clone's body. He loved this new life...he could get used to it...
TO BE CONTINUED...?

(A/N: God, I love cliffhangers. I'm not giving you a CLUE as to what happens either! HA! :P )
