Yay, I finally get a review. To tell you the truth, if you're a member and you like this story, then you'd probably would rather keep me under your author alert unless you keep looking to see if the story updated. Hats off to Psionicnemesis for reviewing AFTER THERE BEING 9 OTHER CHAPTERS! Well…that's no one's fault just because there are thousands of other Yugioh authors who update their fics, causing my fic to be pushed back quite a ways. Just to note as well, I do not know of anything under martial arts. I mean, I know how to do some, but I don't know the name of some, so I'll try my best to keep it descriptive, but in an attempt to the name. I'll shut up and start so you don't get ticked off at me.

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Fox, Yugioh, or Star Wars, but I do own a few characters and the prequel 'Scars of Life' and the FFTA story 'Tears of the Past'.

Encounter

Chapter 9

Ninjitsu vs. Jujitsu

Fox and Yura only stood there in a stare down as the two fighters are ready to go at it any minute. Rain was pouring on them while the two were waiting for the other to make the first move. Fox stood there as his tail was slightly twitching, waiting for Yura to make the first move. The same goes for Yura and her hands as she was waiting for the first strike from Fox. Falco went over to keep a good eye on Lisa and Serenity just in case Yura decides to try to target one of the girls. Falco doesn't have any experience against Ninjitsu either, but he knows a few other tricks up his sleeve. The other six members of the Ninjitsu Brigade are apprehended as they're cuffed by the arms and feet. Lisa had Serenity's arm slung around her own shoulder, trying to keep Serenity in support to stand. Serenity didn't know why Fox was on the hunt for this group just by how he's been prepared to fight them.

"Hey, Lisa," Serenity said.

"Yeah?" Lisa asked.

"Tell me…what is the Ninjitsu Brigade?"

"I don't know much about them, but I heard that they're a small terrorist group."

"They're actually wanted in a number of systems," Falco said.

Lisa and Serenity looked over to Falco, who seemed to know information about them.

"You know what they're about?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah, they're not your average terrorist group like the al Quaeda, but they do have the capacity to kill people swiftly." Falco explained. "What the Ninjitsu Brigade does isn't humanly possible, which is why they're wanted in a number of systems. Yura formed this group a while back, thinking that she can help bring back the age of assassins and ninjas, but with other Jedi alike around, they failed to do so. Last time Fox fought Yura, he almost lost his life; but now that he knows their styles, he can anticipate most of them since he'll be combining Jedi techniques into Jujitsu techniques."

"Besides, some can consider Jedi techniques, in a way, unorthodox," Lisa added.

"So what's so great about Jedi techniques?" Serenity asked.

"You'll just have to watch," Lisa answered.

As Fox and Yura were still in a stare down drenched from the rain, neither were giving in to give the first move.

"So, you're going to try again this time?" Yura asked.

"Last time, I wasn't ready for that, but now I am." Fox explained.

"Hm, so you're saying that you can defeat me?"

"I don't know for sure, but my skills have risen quite significantly."

Just as a sound of thunder clapped in the distance, Fox and Yura began to fight. Yura grabbed for Fox's leg to pull him off his feet, but Fox anticipated into back flipping away from Yura. Fox landed and began an assult of his own. He tried to throw a punch, but Yura caught Fox's arm and tried to twist his arm forward. Fox did a shoulder roll forward and tried to throw Yura over his shoulder. Again, Yura anticipated and landed. She let go as Fox did as well. They both then stood there, face-to-face, in a stand off.

"Heh, you improved last time," Yura commented.

"You can say that, now that I know a few more tricks up my sleeve," Fox said.

Yura then vanished as Fox said that. Fox wasn't hesitating to look around, but he was standing there as if he knew where she was. Fox turned around and grabbed for Yura's arm as he knew that there was a punch coming at him. Yura stood there in awe as Fox wasn't expressing any other emotions but confidence.

"You think you can pull that trick off again?" Fox mocked.

"You're confidence will be your downfall," Yura warned.

"I don't think so."

Fox threw Yura over his shoulder as the throw was successful this time. Yura was on the ground on her back as she lies there catching her breath. As she opened her eyes, she was able to see Fox's hand coming down at her as he was using his fore-knuckles to strike Yura's neck. She disappeared as soon as he was just inches away from her neck as Fox retracted his jab instantly. Fox looked up to see Yura on one knee trying to catch her breath.

"That…was…impressive," Yura obliged.

"That's not all up my sleeve," Fox said.

"Well…I…too…have many up my…sleeve."

As Yura said that, she has a switch knife in her right hand that was concealed in her boot. Fox pulled his blaster out as the design of it was much like a 9 mm that was slightly larger with a special laser pointer and camera attachment to it. It looks like an ordinary military pistol with special features on it, but if observed closer, it can be seen as a special gun with a special capability of transforming into different guns, if the design exists and functions properly.

"Yura, you don't have to step down to this," Fox warned.

"Why should I listen?" Yura commented. "Besides, if it wasn't for you, your friend, Bill, would be dead now."

As Serenity heard that, she was shocked into knowing that this was probably the reason why Fox was looking for them.

"Serenity, it's okay," Lisa said.

Serenity snapped out of her trail of thought as she was thinking about what Yura said. Serenity looked at Lisa, wondering why she said that.

"It's fine that Fox was looking for them." Lisa reassured. "They're convicted of the assassination of a number of ambassadors."

"Besides, I had that gut feeling that Yura would do this," Falco said.

"Why?" Serenity asked.

"Ninjitsu is mostly dishonorable on Corneria. They use techniques of an assassin as well as the use of concealed weaponry," Falco explained.

"But since Fox has a gun, wouldn't that give him an advantage?" Serenity asked.

"We don't know for sure," Lisa answered.

Fox was holding his gun steady at Yura, waiting to see if she'll go in and strike. If that's the case, then Fox will shoot. Thankfully, the gun's only set at stun, which won't kill her. All of a sudden, Fox began to see Yura begin to fade slightly. She then disappeared and slightly reappeared in multiple positions around Fox. Fox began to look left and right, making sure that a sneak attack isn't pulled off. Because he hasn't seen this technique before, he doesn't know when to strike or where she'll strike.

"This is the ultimate technique to Ninjitsu," Yura explained. "No one can survive this because of the swift attack that is delivered. You don't know where I'll strike, which is what I like. This is the technique I use to assassinate those leaders."

Fox then turned around as he thought he saw her. He fired a shot, but no one was there, but an illusionary image. Just as he did that, Yura appeared behind his back, holding a katana instead of a switch blade. Fox instantly felt the presence of Yura and whipped around with his gun as Yura was delivering a deadly slash. As the blow was delivered, Fox was thrown back as he was spiraling away. Blood began to form around Fox's right side as Fox's body landed on the ground, motionless. Yura stood there with a face of confidence as her technique landed. She put her sword away in her sheath as it was resting along Yura's left side.

"And that is why you shouldn't mess with me," Yura mocked.

Serenity's eyes were beginning to fill with tears, thinking about how horrible his sister would feel if she found out he was dead. Falco whipped his gun out at Yura, ready to fire it anytime soon.

"You…bastard," Falco said. "You would kill my friend just because he was in your way?"

"Yes, he was in my way, but you three are in my way as well," Yura said.

Before she pulled her katana out, they began to hear moans coming from Fox's body. Fox placed his left hand on the ground and began to lift himself up as he was holding his wound with his right hand.

"You…think you can…kill me that easily?" Fox asked.

"Why you…How could you survive?" Yura yelled. "You should've been killed by the technique.

"What you killed was…"

As he said that, the front barrel of his gun fell off. It hit the ground with a clang as energy began to seep its way out of the grip. Fox released his grip on his gun and placed his right hand on the same cylindrical object that he used a month ago. Serenity was expecting the worst, but Lisa placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Will Fox become an almost ballistic like person like last time?" Serenity asked.

"Of course not!" Lisa answered. "How was I able to use a lightsaber and not go ballistic?"

"But-"

"It's okay." Falco said. "The reason why Fox used it was because he was trying to protect you; he didn't mean to scare you, but he did save you and your brother."

Serenity looked over to see Fox, holding his lightsaber deactivated as it was still near his side. It was off the hook, but he still held it by his side. Yura began to fade again as she was using the technique again. Fox stood there, now cautious of his actions. Fox waited, holding his lightsaber by his side, ready to activate it anytime soon. Fox turned around, thinking that he sensed Yura back there. As soon as he turned around, he only saw a faded illusion of her. He sensed her from behind, but instead of turning around, he activated his lightsaber, causing Yura's blade to be knocked aside. Fox knew precisely where Yura wanted to strike, and that's on the lower torso area. Fox whipped around and cut Yura's sword near the hilt without hitting her hand. Yura then kneeled down, knowing that she's defeated. Fox deactivated his lightsaber and stood over Yura, who was still kneeling down in a puddle of water. Fox's wound stopped bleeding, but he was still feeling dizzy from the amount of blood he lost. He took some cuffs out and cuffed Yura as her head was still down. Serenity was about to approach Fox, but Lisa placed a hand on her shoulder in a gesture to let him take care of himself. Fox called over some military officers to pick them up for later negotiations. Falco went over to make sure his friend was okay.

"Hey, you okay?" Falco asked.

"Yeah, but I'm feeling a little woozy," Fox responded.

A few minutes passed as some military officers came around the corner and began to take Fox and Falco's catch back to their base. Falco pulled the truck up by Serenity, Lisa, and Fox as they were going to go back to where Fox and Falco lives now. As they were getting into the truck, Fox was beginning to feel something wrong, but it wasn't anywhere nearby.

"I know I've felt that presence from somewhere, but I don't exactly remember where."

Yes, I know that the scene was a slight pull off from Rurouni Kenshin, all of you Rurouni Kenshin fans out there who knows the series. I give all credit to the creator of Rurouni Kenshin. Also...9 mm? I have no clue what military standard pistols are. I just took a wild guess. Also, I will keep updating my fic, but PLEASE review.
