The Final Fight Begins

"… And my name is Daichi!"

Before either teen could make a move, two things happened. One, Kim was dragged back to the edge of the courtyard, just in front of the hospital, and held by two ninjas with blade tipped Bo's. Basically, short spears. Daichi then advanced on Ron, separating the two even quicker, as he had to step away from Kim to get out of the way of Daichi's advance.

RON! Kim mentally yelled towards Ron.

KIM! Ron did the same for her.

Daichi attacked first with basic moves. Front kick, front kick, thrust punch. Ron was easily able to block each strike. What is he doing? Ron thought. He's gotta be better than this!

As if in answer to Ron's thoughts, Daichi immediately went into a volley of jump kicks, and ended with a jump and a round-house style kick that drove through his block, and caught him on the chin, which spun him to the ground.

Kim lunged forward at seeing Ron go down, and she was rewarded with a small quick cut on her upper left arm from a sharp spear point. OUCH! It wasn't very deep, and she just winced at the cut, but it was enough that it registered in her mind, and subsequently, Ron also knew what had happened because they were still in mental communication with each other.

As Ron was standing up from the volley of kicks, he was distracted by the mental yelp from Kim. This was enough for Daichi to take advantage, and caught him on the chin with a hard punch, and then a power kick to his stomach, throwing him backwards crashing through the door of a small shed used for minor weapon storage.

Just as Ron stood up in the center of the small room looking out the door at Daichi, he saw him perform a series of motions with his arms, and then thrust his palms out towards the building and himself. Cracks quickly appeared on the support beams, and the entire building came crashing down around Ron. As everything started to crash down around him, Ron could have sworn he saw a bluish-black glow emanating from Daichi's eyes.

Almost immediately, unknown to her captors, Kim's eyes began to glow with a bluish-white fire. The fight between Ron and Daichi distracted the two ninjas guarding her, and she grabbed both of their heads, as they were standing next to each other right in front of her, and cracked their skulls together, knocking them both unconscious.

She reached down, and grabbed a spear on the run, and headed straight for Daichi. His back was turned, as he was surveying the rubble of the small shed. At the last second before Kim reached him, he spun around and blocked the strike aimed at his head.

The block had broken the spearhead off, right at the point where it was attached, so now Kim stood there with basically a quarter-staff. With eyes glowing, she launched a series of strikes at Daichi, and drove him back up against the pile of rubble that was once the shed. She ended with a double-handed strike with the staff horizontal, on Daichi's chin snapping his head back. He stood there for a moment, staggering from the hit.

He hadn't noticed the bluish glow of Kim's eyes, so he didn't notice it suddenly disappear. Ron burst out of the rubble of the shed. Hearing this, Daichi turned slowly, as he was still stunned. Just as he saw Ron throwing a punch, Daichi's head cleared, but not quickly enough to elude the punch completely. Ron's strike barely caught him on the chin, which snapped his head around, so he was again facing Kim.

Kim was slightly distracted at the sudden change of body control. Daichi leaped towards her, and she was barely able to duck under his flying kick. She quickly spun around, and ended up at Rons side. The two were quite an impressive site. Kim was in an attack position with the quarter-staff in hand, and Ron was in a ready stance, his eyes glowing bright with the power.

Kim, Ron thought to her. He seems to be, how shall I say, in-experienced?

You're right Ron, it was like he had completely forgotten about me. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Of course… ADVANTAGE! The three lunged at each other, and began fighting, two on one.

As the fight raged on, the sun was dipping below the distant horizon. Off in the nearby hospital, an old man's eyes groggily opened. Sensei had finally awakened! With his advanced senses, he pretty much knew that there was a serious battle going on outside. Shaking his head clear, he stole through the dark corridors, and left the hospital building through a rarely used side door. Not even looking towards the courtyard, as he didn't want to distract himself from his course of action, he headed where he knew he was needed most. He had to free Joss!

Sensei was able to stay in the shadows, as he made his way to Joss's small prison. Only once was he almost caught by one of his students, who was now a pawn of Daichi's.

By tossing a small pebble to distract the guard at Joss's door, he quickly ducked into the small room where she was still chained to the floor. Oblivious to what was going on outside, Joss had been in a deep sleep, when suddenly a hand shaking her shoulder woke her up. She immediately jumped up, and lashed out, trying to take out anyone who had been trying to attack her.

"Calm down, my child! It is me…"

"Sensei!" Joss finished as she suddenly realized who had awakened her.

With chain clanking behind her, she quickly stepped up to the old man, and gave him a hug. Quietly sobbing into the folds of his robe, her eyes were wet, threatening to burst forth a flood of tears.

"Shh… shhh… shhh. It is alright, my child." Sensei said sweetly as he gently stroked her now matted and tangled red hair. "We must quickly get out of here."

Joss released her hug, stepped back, and without a word, nodded. Sensei took her ankle that was chained, and placed a hand on a side of the shackle, and then struck the other side, causing the lock to release. The sound of the dropping shackle brought the guard who had returned to the door into the room. He just stood there, looking at the two in shock, not knowing what to do. His former teacher Sensei was in the room, freeing his prisoner.

Sensei slowly walked up to him, and gently placed a hand on his shaking shoulder. "My son, I do not blame you for what you do. You are under the influence of something terrible. I regret that I cannot let you alert anyone, so please forgive me."

With that said, Sensei quickly hit a nerve on the side of his students neck, making him go into a deep sleep. Sensei caught him, and gently lay him on the floor. Taking Joss's hand, they quickly left the prison.

"There is someone else I must also rescue." Sensei said to Joss. "Please, you must now do as I say."

Joss nodded. "Go behind this building, and you will see a small gate on the outside wall. This building blocks it, so anyone in the courtyard will not see you. Reach into the small square alcove, and you will find the latch to open the gate. After you are outside, run as fast as you can towards the bridge that spans the gorge. You can hide just under the bridge on this side. Stay there until I call for you. Whatever you do, DO NOT look into the courtyard!"

"Yes, Sensei." Joss said, her voice starting to shake.

Sensei watched her head towards the gate, un-latch it, and step through. He only hoped that she did not return. He then took off towards the second, and last person he had to rescue.

Creeping around the back corner of a building he knew very well, Sensei noticed there were two guards at the front door. Just as he stepped towards them to make his move, he felt the cold steel of a blade press against his throat.

Back in the courtyard:

The fighters had paused slightly to catch their collective breath. Anything that Kim and Ron had thrown at Daichi, he was able to block, but barely. The only thing the two teens hadn't tried yet, was to attack at the same time. So far it had been one, then the other.

During this short pause, Ron began to ask questions. "So, you're name is Daichi? pant> I don't know you."

"Neither do I." Kim said, not quite as winded as Ron.

"You mean… You two do not know?" Daichi said, as he breathed heavily.

"What?" The two teens said together.

"I am your SON!"

With the emphasis on the last word, Daichi lunged at the two, and the desired effect worked, as he was able to catch them off guard. He was able to break the staff that Kim was holding in two.

CRAP! She thought as she dropped the two useless pieces, as they had splintered up the sides. Kim then went into a defensive stance beside Ron.

Ron looked down, and saw where Daichi was standing. He just happened to be by the duffel that Rufus was in. Now, Rufus!

In almost a blur, Rufus quickly unzipped the duffel just enough to let him leap out, and chomp down on the ankle of Daichi!

Together, Kim! Ron thought, and they both lashed out with their feet. Kim's foot landed just below Daichi's left rib. Ron's Kick landed on the side of his head. The result was instantaneous as Daichi landed on his side, clearly out cold.

At Yori's living quarters:

Behind Sensei stood another of his students, but he was dressed in a dark red ghi. He had a blade tucked under Sensei's beard, against his throat. "I am sorry about this Sensei, but I must do what I am ordered."

Thunk! "Oof!" Suddenly the knife blade was no longer against his skin, and the student's back was turned on Sensei. His hand was on his head as he was looking at someone who was standing in front of him. Sensei turned around, and couldn't see who was in front of the student, so he stepped to the side so he could see who had saved him. It was Joss!

Joss stood there with a quarterstaff in her hands that she had just used to smack the student on the head with. "Leave him alone!" Joss growled, anger in her voice.

"Why you little…" The student lunged at Joss with the blade in his hand. Sensei quickly stepped to his side, and from years and years of practice, grabbed the hand with the blade, and brought it down and around, the forward motion of the student driving himself onto the blade.

Joss stood there shocked at what had just happened. Sensei stood over the student, head bowed. "Forgive me." He said under his breath.

"Joss! I thought I told you to…"

"You needed mah help! So I helped!" Joss quickly said before Sensei could say anymore.

"Stay here! Do not move!" Sensei said, holding a finger up in front of her face, to enforce his command. He then quickly and quietly took out the two guards who were standing at Yori's front door. Sensei went inside, and after a few moments came out, with Yori's arm draped over his shoulder. She was so thin and haggard looking. It looked as though she had not eaten for many days, and she was very weak.

Immediately, Joss ran to Yori's other side, adding her support. Then trying to stay in the shadows of other buildings, the group of three headed towards the gate that Joss had gone out before. (Or so Sensei had thought)

Back in the courtyard:

Still amped from the fight, both Kim and Ron sensed movement off to the side of the courtyard. Immediately, their eyes landed on a group of three. Ron's eyes stopped glowing, and Kim's defenses dropped when they saw who was there.

"Sensei! Yori!" Ron yelled, running towards them.

"Joss!" Kim yelled at the same time, in step with Ron.

Joss leaped into her older cousin's arms and they fiercely hugged, crying into each other's hair. Ron had quickly went up to Yori, and placed his hands on her cheeks, lifting her face to his. His own face was full of concern.

"Ron… San…" Yori said weakly. "I'm… so… sorry…" Her head then slumped forward as she passed out. Ron took her in his arms, and they all started towards the small gate, Sensei in the lead, Rufus in Ron's pocket.

Suddenly a blast of energy hit Ron in the back, knocking him down as he carried Yori. He was able to shield her as he fell, and turned his back towards his attacker as the two lay on the ground. Daichi was standing in the courtyard, his eyes and hands glowing a bluish-black color. Tendrils of power danced over his hands, and made contact with the glow emanating from his eyes sparking with a loud crackle. Daichi was furious!

"You will go no further!" The four of them who were conscious covered their ears from his booming voice. It was as if his voice had been amplified 10 times, and it echoed throughout the grounds.

Ron stood, and turned towards Daichi. Kim… He thought, Do you recognize his voice now?

Yes! It's the voice we heard when Yori tried to contact us a while back!

But Kim… If he says we are his parents, but Yori gave birth to him… ugghh… this makes my head hurt! Sensei?

"Stop this communication at once! You will speak aloud so all can hear!" Daichi roared again.

"He is your opposite, Ron-San. He is a mirror to all that you represent." Sensei whispered into Ron's ear.

Joss kept an eye on Yori, as she knelt at her side. Kim stepped up beside Ron, and took his hand, as Rufus popped his head out of the pocket. Both of them stood there, looking at Daichi, and Rufus was glaring at him from the safety of Ron's pants. Their bodies began to glow with a blueish-white energy, and power tendrils danced over the three of them, crackling with the energy.

"You must be… destroyed." Kim and Ron said this together at Daichi, as he said the same thing to them.

Ron-san… Ron heard Sensei's voice in the back of his head as he, Kim, and Rufus advanced on Daichi…

I figured this was as good a place as any to stop this chapter. I didn't want to make it too long…
