Fight

The Spirit Hunter was attacking Horo with all of his furyoku, apparently sent to destroy him by Hao. Ren was prepared for this. He called forth Bason and integrated him with the Kwan-Dao, ready to fight.

Pirika lunged at him and pinned him to a tree. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked up at him. He tried to move, but she didn't seem to want to let go. He finally broke free and moved towards the Spirit Hunter with his spear.

Pirika: Wait!

Ren: What?

Pirika: What if something happens to you?

Ren: Nothing's going to happen. I'll meet you back at the Inn.

Pirika: But….

Ren: Just go. I'll be back; I promise.

Ren kissed Pirika, and then started to attack the Spirit Hunter with full force.

After many minutes and many dangerous blows from both sides, it seemed like Ren and Horo were winning. The Spirit Hunter was getting tired, but so were Ren and Horo. They had far more than enough furyoku to defeat him, but not much more. It seemed as though Ren and Horo were going to beat the Spirit Hunter, that is, until another two Spirit Hunters showed up, each larger than the previous one.

They knew they couldn't win now, but they had to because there were serious consequences if they lost.

They kept attacking until there was only one Spirit Hunter left. He was the biggest and most powerful one of the three. He could easily knock them both out with one strike. They were both almost out of furyoku, too.

The Spirit Hunter charged at Ren and knocked him down. Then he turned to Horo. He used his most powerful move (weakening him considerably) and horribly wounding Horo. Ren then regained consciousness in time to see Horo get knocked out. Charged with rage, Ren attacked the Spirit Hunter with full force, defeating him, but also horribly wounding Ren in the process. Then he saw Horo in terrible condition. He made a move to help him, but he too fainted.

DarkTaoAngel: Kinda mysterious, isn't it? Please review!
