The Animator

Chapter 5: First Contact

We entered Su's room in high spirits, laughing and joking around. "Well, you guys seem happy about something" "We're going to tour all of the known anime worlds when you're done fixing the Animator" I told her, a big grin across my face. "Gee, Then I guess I'll see you later," she said, holding up the device to me. As I put it back on, the Hinata House shook, and we heard an explosion coming from outside. "What was that?" Yumi asked as another blast sounded off, shaking up the building even more. "A cannon!" Su shouted, and we all ran outside to see a group of men wearing matching white outfits similar to the military uniforms in the real world, all surrounding an old cannon. One of them noticed us and shouted, "We have you out manned. Surrender the Navigator to us or we will eliminate this world."

"If you mean the Animator, then forget about it!" I shouted back. "You'll have to get through us before you can destroy this world!"

"Very well" the solider called back "Fire the cannon!" It seemed the entire world went into slow motion as the cannon was fired directly at us. Just before it hit us, the cannonball flying off. We looked behind us, and Su was in her mecha again. "How do you do that!" I yelled up at her. She just smiled and called back, "I'll take care of them, you go on to the door!" I nodded and pulled Yumi back into the house and through hallways towards the door where we arrived. But, when we got there, someone was already waiting.

He wore the same uniform as the men outside, but a greater sense of authority emanated from him. Also, he wore a hat that concealed the top half of his face. He smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you Koji" He stood up and drew the sword that was at his waist. "I believe you use a sword to fight in this world, don't you?" he asked, but I got the sense that he already knew. Without thinking, I drew my sword and charged at him, but he quickly blocked and threw a blow towards me. I jumped back and threw my sword at him, yelling "Strike Raid! (Kingdom Hearts)" It hit him in the arm, and retrieved it, aiming another strike while he was still set off by the first blow. But he raised his sword and blocked my attacks. "Come on Koji," he sneered "You're stronger than this"

"You want to see my full power? You asked for it!" I jumped back, and held up my sword. A short while later it erupted in shadowflame. "Behold, my sword's true form, the Shadow Blade!" I swung the sword down shouting "Dark Bolder Cutting Blade, Second form!" The soldier put up his word, but it was no use. One can't defend against an attack in the second form. The shockwave passed over him, and sent him flying back. After a while he got up, apparently unharmed. "What?" I whispered, in total amazement. The Second form had always finished off my foes in one shot, but this guy took a direct hit and brushed it off. "Pretty good shot there," the guy said, "Not many can land a blow" As soon as he said that, his hat split in two and fell to the floor. I looked at his face and gasped. "Hey, Koji?" Yumi asked, somewhat nervous "Why does he look just like you?"
