Translations for Japanese phrases will be at the end of the chapter. Oh, and I don't own Get Backers, any of the characters, etc.

CHAPTER 2: Ban vs. Sorin
"You sure you want to fight me without your friends to help you?" Sorin sneers as Ban watches Akabane carry Ginji away.
"That would be a waste of time and power. While I single-handedly defeat you, they'll infiltrate the fortress and get back the goods," Ban smirks, facing his enemy. Their eyes meet as they glare at one another. (I hope the handicap from not being able to see well doesn't hinder my fighting too much...)
"Well, time to get rid of that cocky attitude!" Sorin screams, summoning his razor sharp winds towards Ban. The wind is able to hit Ban, he didn't dodge quite fast enough to escape the wind.
"Urgh! Well, you're better than I thought! But you won't last too much longer!"
"You're underestimating me!" Sorin smirks, (I'll put him into his place!) He summons more wind and this time it's a direct hit. Sorin smiles and watches as the wind rips Ban to pieces.
"Huh?" Ginji stops in his tracks.
"Hm? What's wrong, Ginji-kun?" Akabane peers at Ginji through the slit in his hat, he seems worried.
"Nothing, but I hope Ban-chan is OK..." Ginji runs to catch up to Akabane and they continue their search for the fortress.
"Well, that's what you get for challenging me!" Sorin smiles, looking at Ban's unrecognizable remains, "Huh?" Sorin looks around, the wind is acting up, "W-what's going on?" The winds make a giant inescapable barrier around him, "What's this!? Are my powers acting up!?" The barrier slowly starts to shrink around him, enclosing him in his doom, "Noo!" He can't even hear his own screams over the deafening sound of the wind shredding him as it shredded Ban.
"Just one minute."
"Huh?" Sorin opens his eyes to see that he wasn't shredded to pieces, "What was that?" He looked around for his opponent, he could have sworn he heard his voice a second ago.
"You were watching a dream..." Ban's voice calls from the nothingness of the forest.
"W-where are you!?"
"Is that fear in your voice? You were so confident a second ago..."
(He's somewhere in the trees!) Sorin deducts, (But exactly where is he?) "Show yourself, coward!" He suddenly feels a hand grab the back of his neck, suspending him in the air.
"Be careful what you wish for, Sorin. I have a grip of over 200 KG, the Snake Bite. Surrender now or you'll get to feel it first-hand..."
"Never... I'll never surrender..." Sorin squeezes his eyes shut, preparing to fall into the darkness of death. He felt the hand starting to squeeze the life out of him, but then Ban loosens his grip.
"What are you waiting for? Finish me off. That's what you want to do, right?" Sorin inquires. He's not good at acting brave, though. He's trembling with fear at the thought of this being the end. Ban tosses him to the ground.
"You're not worth the effort," Ban states walking past a stunned Sorin to find Ginji and Akabane.
"Who are you?" Sorin asks, not expecting the superior fighter to answer him. Ban turns around and looks towards Sorin's direction.
"Midou Ban of the Get Backers," Ban answers then turns and continues to walk away.
(Midou Ban, I won't forget this defeat. I will find you...)
Hi! Sorry for the short chapter. Please Read and Review! What couple should I make? It seems to be leaning towards Akabane and Ginji from the look of Chapter 1. Maybe if that happens, Sorin and Ban could make a couple. Give an opinion if you have one, please! I'd like to hear what readers would like to read couple-wise. No flames, please!
Ban: Why did I get such a puny chapter!?
Cold Rain: Cuz I suck at writing battle scenes! ;P
