Chapter 13
Once a Manslayer,
Always a Manslayer
Kenshin and Kamon were too evenly matched. As soon as one attacked, the other retaliated. It seemed as if Kenshin had grown tired of this back and forth fighting. Kenshin flipped his Reverse Blade and became more serious.
"Now you will die," said Kenshin, with a much deeper voice.
Kamon's sword came to a ringing halt as their two swords met with tremendous force. Kamon's sword fell apart as he looked at Kenshin's sword.
Not even a scratch! thought Kamon. All I have left is magic, but what if he can block it like Link could?
"You have no weapon. I no longer wish to fight you," said Kenshin quietly.
Kenshin sheathed his sword and turned to leave the arena.
"Blizzaga!" yelled Kamon as a last resort.
Kenshin's feet were frozen to the ground by this spell.
"Thundaga!" cried Kamon
Kenshin had already cut himself free and moved out of the way before the bolt had hit him.
"Hiten-Mitsurugi style, Sword Plunge!" yelled Kenshin as his sword fell on the spot Kamon had been standing.
Kamon dodged Kenshin's sword and shouted, "Slow!"
Kenshin slowed down a little. He was still too fast, but Kamon could now track most of Kenshin's movement. Kamon followed Kenshin, and for every step that Kenshin took, Kamon took two more so he could keep up with Kenshin.
Kamon grabbed the hilt of his broken sword and tried to use the Firaga spell on Kenshin. Kenshin dodged as Kamon had hoped. Kamon threw the hilt of his sword at Kenshin. The hilt of the sword dug itself into Kenshin's right shoulder.
Kenshin dropped his sword as he stopped dead in his tracks. He ripped the hilt of Kamon's sword out of his shoulder. He stared at the blood-stained hilt and examined his own blood-stained shoulder.
"I guess we're at a stand-still, seeing as neither of us can fight," said Kenshin roughly.
"You're wrong," said Kamon, "I've got an ace up my sleeve!"
Kamon pulled a card out of his sleeve and used it in a bright flash.
"What was that?" Kenshin asked.
"It was a law card, it prevents you from moving, unless you want to be killed," said Kamon.
Kenshin gave a weak chuckle and said, "I've protected this generation for far too long. It's time for this generation to have a new defender."
After Kenshin had finished this sentence, he took one step forward.
"No, don't do it!" yelled Kamon.
As Kenshin's foot touched the ground, a magical force was put into effect. Kenshin's soul seemed to be ripped from his body and crushed with a mighty blow.(a/n this is like in FF X's Death spell) Just like that, the great Batosai was dead, as was Kamon's fighting spirit.
I'm sorry for my misuse of Kenshin's sword style! In the original I used "Tien" instead of "Hiten" so I'm really sorry! (Bows and begs forgiveness)
