Chapter 8
DP: Welcome one and all! I'm sure you've all seen the new face around- Z77!
Z77: My jokes light up this computer, whether you want them to or not!
FK: Sure they do.
Z77: Shut up you!
DP: Idiots- LIGHTS!
OoOoO
"Are we close?" Kaze's voice was faint, nearly drowned out by the loud attack horns. Both Kaji and Kidate shrugged, but it was impossible to see, as the dark smoke flooded the area.
Kidate rasped out, "How are we supposed to tell, this smoke is too thick!" Her eyes were wide, and voice subdued- she had never experienced a Fire Nation attack before.
The screams of the peasants blocked out everything- excluding the Fire Nations attack. They ran towards their homes- only to find them burning down.
Finally, when the fighters reached a break in the smoke, a large army spread out. Fire Nation soldiers made seemingly endless rows, and fighting seemed hopeless.
"Don't worry." Kaji murmured to the other two. "Fire Nation armor is made so that it seems like there are more fighters then they're actually are."
"Right." The fighters spread out. Kaji was rushed by several soldiers, and immediately sprang into action.
"He's not using fire bending again, huh?" Kaze sighed.
"No. But what do you mean, 'again'?" She asked.
"Later." With that, Kaze raced forward- strait into the battle. Kidate nodded her consent, and disappeared into the army.
OoOoO
Kidate grunted, naginata out and ready. A spear flashed above her head as she ducked it. Grimacing, she watched as her world was turned upside down. She had never known battles could be like this…
Pushing such thoughts away, she sidestepped a jab from another spear. Twirling, she slammed the side of her naginata into the soldier's face. He crumpled into an unmoving heap.
Kidate kept in an offensive stance, ready for any other soldiers who dared fight her. But none came- instead came a large, bald, hulking mass of a man. He held a huge hammer, and an ugly smile spread against his squished face.
"Damn." Kidate squeaked, ducking as the hammer whirled over her had at an almost impossible speed. The hammer came once more, this time from above. She sidestepped, watching his every move. As the giant came towards her once more, she held her naginata up, parrying it.
The hammer came from all directions, in a seemingly endless barrage. Kidate blocked everyone, eyes darting desperately for an opening. Finally, as he raised his hammer for another downwards swipe, she made a rock jump up, blocking his blow, before softening the ground below him. He sunk quickly, weight turning against him, and was soon up to his chest. Kidate smirked, but before she could harden him in, he swung his still-free arms.
The weapon slammed into Kidate's stomach, and she flew back several feet, landing on her side, twisting as she rolled along the ground. Before she was able to recover, the hammer-wielder had gotten out of her trap, and held his weapon above her- a killing blow. And her naginata was too far to reach…
OoOoO
Kaze jumped over fire blast, using an air vortex to gain his balance. He flipped backwards, using his scimitar to block a broadsword's blow and attack back, in quick motions. The soldier fell, neck bleeding heavily. Before he attacked another soldier, a large man, riding a Komodo Rhino slandered up.
Glaring slightly, he jumped up, planning to attack the rider. But the Rhino swished its tail, knocking him in the side. With a blast of air, Kaze righted himself, and landed lightly. Running alongside the Rhino, he tried to attack the beast, only to be stopped by the spear of a soldier. Stumbling- but catching himself- he landed softly, but aggravated. How was he supposed to win!
Kaze jumped again, hoping to out reach the tail-it worked. The tail missed him completely. But, instead of landing on the Rhino's back, he landed on its horns.
"Crap."
OoOoO
Kaji swiped his katana, grimacing as a man's head was cut from his body. Twirling, he ducked a spear and blocked two swords. With a swish of his blade, he knocked the two soldiers' swords from him. Suddenly, the soldiers stood down, and walked to make a circle around him.
"What's this about?" Kaji asked, glaring at them. He held his katana stubbornly at ready. From the plumes of smoke, a figure's silhouette appeared. The figured shook in laughter.
"Dear, dear, Kaji. You still amuse me so." The figured continued to chuckle.
"…Shino. So we meet again." Kaji muttered, glaring at the figure.
"Well, I believe it's time we had a little rematch, my young apprentice."
"If it's an Agni Kai you want." Laying down his katana… "Then that's what you'll get" he backed into a ready position prepared for anything.
"So be it" Shino smirked.
OoOoO
