Chapter 14: Battles arouse...

"Hmph." Ash lit his palm with his green flame, which was almost bubbly. Yuki was still there, looking at him with a stern look on her face.

"Regarde comme je devrai me débarasser de détritus." (T: Looks like I'll have to get rid of some trash) Ash smirked, slowly raising the flame above his head.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room...

"Argh!" Benimaru looked at his arm, now bloodied from the last attack. It bled quickly, dripping onto the floor. He held his arm, trying to stop the bleeding. (That flame...it's so powerful...) Benimaru thought as he looked up at Kyo.

"Give up now before I do something I might regret." Kyo yelled from afar, while the other people around them watched. (No...I can't slip up now...I've got to prove him wrong...) Benimaru let his right arm drop from where he had been holding the other bleeding arm.

"Hmph...you might as well try." Benimaru smirked before he charged toward him. As he suspected, Kyo would move to the left. He caught Kyo with a surprise attack, countering him with a swift kick, which sent him into the snack table. Food flew everywhere, while the table broke from Kyo's impact on it. Benimaru lost no time. He quickly headed over to him, and lifted him up by his shirt, only to knock him back down again with a punch to the jaw. Benimaru began to kick him on the ground. Kyo realized that he was pressuring him. Blocking some, and letting some of the hits take a blow to his stomach, he then took hold of Benimaru's leg, pulling him down to where he was. Kyo wrestled him down as he tried to force his way up once more, then punched him in the face. (By this time, the original Benimaru would be begging me not to hit him on his pretty boy face) Kyo thought as he lifted him up by his hair, then lit his right hand with the crimson flame. He uppercuttedBenimaru, who sprawled to the ground faced down, now very still...

Benimaru's POV

Why is this happening? This isn't suppose to happen? Am I to fail again? To disappoint Ash? No, I can't...

I feel my whole body, wrapped in pain...the flames that burn me...so rapid. I'm laying faced down, I can feel him coming closer to me. I just hope he kills me. I feel around me. Something sharp. What could it be? My fingers enwrap the object, all bloodied by the blood that had escaped my mouth when he sent that last punch. My face feels numb. I feel as if I deserve this...am I on the right side?

"Benimaru?" I hear his voice. The blood and hair cover my face. I can't see anything. I only feel...feel the sharp object in-between my fingers...ready to use. I feel him draw near me, his hand touches my shoulder. Almost as if a reaction, I turn quickly, shoving the object into his stomach. I'm now looking at him. He has a shocked look on his face, while I have managed a smirk on my own. I let go of it, and he looks at it, the blood pouring down...just like I wanted it to. This is it...the moment I've been waiting for...

Normal POV

There was a sudden scream at the other side of the room. Ash smirking evilly, slowly letting go of the figure in his arms. She fell to the ground with a thump.

"Ash Crimson! Fight me, or are you going to run away like the coward you are!"? A sudden voice yelled from behind. Ash's expression was the same. His eyes closed, a small smirk playing on his lips as he turned around to face who it was.

"Are you sure you want to fight me, Terry Bogard?" Ash replied with that still present smirk on his face.

"I'll be sending your ass back to where you came from."

"Oh really? I'd like to see you try." Ash's smirk widened at Terry's remark.

"It's not gentlemen like to beat up on the ladies." Terry looked at Yuki on the ground, who appeared unconscious. Once he had looked back up, he saw no one there.

"What tha..."

"Is it not?" He suddenly heard a voice behind him. He felt heat against his back. He realized that it was Ash, holding his palm lit with his green flame against Terry's back.

"Ventose!" As gave no warning before he attacked Terry. Terry crashed to the ground seconds later. Smoke steamed from Terry's back as he got up slowly.

"You're asking for it..." Terry raised up the sleeves to his jacket before he continued. "It's just like you French bastards...attacking from behind. You can't face me, can you?" Terry smirked as he saw the look on Ash's face.

"Fermez votre bouche, vous Américain faible..."(T: Shut your mouth, you weak American...) Ash tried to control his anger a bit, replacing the angry scowl with a small, vail smirk. "Very well then...I see how it is now." Ash responded, raising his hand in the air slowly, as if he was about to light his palm with his green flame. Terry prepared himself in his fighting stance. Ash snapped his fingers, then unexpectedly, there, right beside Ash appeared...

"No way...that son of a-" Terry felt a sort of anger rise inside him as he saw the person who was standing right beside Ash.

"You!" Terry pointed at the man. "I'll get my revenge! I will avenge my father!"

XDXDXD

"Kyo-san!" Shingo yelled out, running over to his sensai. He saw the blood pouring out, while Benimaru's smirk remained the same. Shingo looked at Benimaru with animosity in his eyes.

"Benimaru-san, why are you doing this?" He asked Benimaru, who just looked at him. He dropped the sharp object, then looked at his bloodied hands. Kyo's blood. Surely, this time, he hadn't failed.

"I did what had to be done..." Benimaru responded, looking over to Shingo, who had risen up to face him.

"You bastard!" Shingo moved to tackle him, but somehow, Benimaru was too fast. He missed him, falling onto the ground with a thud. The rest were watching...they did nothing. After all, they were just ordinary humans.

With lightning speed, Benimaru took hold of the teenager's shirt, then punched him with electricity surging through his arms. Shingo was sent back a couple of feet, skidding to a stop beside another broken table.

"Nikaido, Benimaru!" Someone called from behind. As he turned to look, he was struck in the face with someone's foot. "Take that!" He recognized that voice...who was it? He fell to the ground, looking up at his attacker. It was a girl with pink hair. The one Ash had named...Athena. He felt something flow from the side of his mouth. He wiped it off quickly. The red substance smeared onto his hand. He looked at it for a second, then looked back up to Athena, who still stood in a fighting stance.

"Hmph." Benimaru stood up slowly, looking at her there...she seemed too weak for him.

"What? Do you expect me to fight you? I'm sure that even Shingo could do better than you." Benimaru replied snidely. Athena gasped. So, Benimaru really had changed.

"Why you-" Athena began, but got cut off by someone behind her.

"I'll take care of this loser for you, my dear." The figure said with a small smile.

"Jhun!" Athena turned around, realizing who it was.

"Yes. I have come to your rescue, Athena." The man turned to Benimaru. "How dare you insult a woman? How dare you insult my Athena!" Jhun ran toward him, kicking him at almost an incredible speed. Benimaru managed to block a few, but failed to block the ones heading toward his stomach. He grunted, but saw the perfect opportunity to hit him. Using his rapidness he had found in himself a while back ago, he managed to quickly get behind him, and attack him. Jhun fell forward, but managed to get up quickly. Benimaru rushed toward him again, but didn't expect the low hitting DM(Desperation Move) from Jhun. (Perfect...) Jhun caught him.

"Hou'ou Ressou Kyaku!" He yelled out as he executed his attack. He always used this move against rushing opponents. Benimaru was sent flying backwards, and into the crowd.

"Oph!" He ran into a group of high school graduates, who held him down in order for Jhun to attack him again. He felt the blood come up to his throat. He swallowed it down forcefully. Benimaru tried to free himself from their grip, but failed miserably. Jhun walked over to him, shaking his head.

"You should never have messed with Athena!" He kicked him in the face, sending him into unconsciousness.

XDXDXD

There was a rush of energy at the other side of the room as Terry and his sworn enemy, Geese fought. Ash stood in-between the the people, watching as Terry missed every hit he threw at Geese. The over-powered opponent had Terry frustrated, and almost out of energy.

"You bastard! Is that all you're gonna do? Why don't you fight me like a real man!" Terry yelled out. Ash's smirk stayed the same.

Kyo opened his eyes at the screams, and the table crashing. He felt weak. He saw red everywhere. He remembered what had happened. (Benimaru...) Kyo thought as he stood up slowly, wincing as more blood flowed out from his wound. He dizzily saw Ash, watching with a smirk on his face. He realized that Terry was fighting Geese. (But how?) Kyo thought for a moment. The Yata mirror suddenly came into his mind. (Of course...that bastard must've used it...) Kyo began to walk over to where Ash was. He knew what to do now. He holding his stomach with one hand, he walked over to him slowly, his bloodied hand lit with his crimson flame.

"Ash Crimson!" Kyo yelled out. Upon hearing his name, Ash smiled, as he knew it was Kyo's voice. (So...he's still alive...) Ash thought, turning around to face him.

"My, my, Kyo...you look like you've been in hell. Did Beni-kun finally defeat you?" Ash murmured, taking his hands out of his pockets slowly.

"Fuck you!" Kyo gritted through his teeth as he felt a sharp pain from his wound a merge. Ash managed a small laugh.

"Hmm...Puits, ce n'était pas très gentil..."(T: Well, that wasn't very nice...) Ash shook his finger at him. Kyo's rage exploded. He was sick and tired of him. Kyo twisted his torso back a bit, as crimson flames surrounding him on the ground while saying,

"Kore de... KIMERU ZE!" (T: This is...THE END OF THE ROAD!) Kyo held his fist back and twisted his body forward to hit Ash with a massive Crimson Flamed Dokugami. Ash tried to block, but the punch was too powerful for him. It was almost unblock able. Ash was sent back into the crowd, and finally coming to a stop into a wall. He slid down, clutching his chest, as it was where he had been hit forcefully. He had lost his breath, and was unable to breathe for a few seconds. Gasping for air, he looked up at Kyo while smoke was brought out by his burned, and tattered jacket. He got up onto his knees weakly. Kyo was there in a second, standing right in front of him. Ash looked up once more. He saw a smirk on Kyo's face. His eyes widened as he saw this coming. A kick to his jaw, where he was sent back once more, now splattered on the floor was his own blood. He was on the ground, holding his jaw. His face felt numb. He tried to get up again, but Kyo kicked him in the gut, sending him down again. This time, faced-down. Ash suddenly felt a sudden pain from his hands. He realized that Kyo was stepping on his hands, breaking his delicate nails. He screamed out once he felt Kyo grind down on his fingers with his shoe even harder. As he did this, Kyo pulled his head up by his hair. Ash grimaced, blood flowing from the side of his mouth.

"Nargh!" Ash gritted through his teeth as Kyo made him get onto his knees with Kyo's foot still mashing his precious nails. He had to think of something quick. He proceeded into using his free hand, and hit him low. This made Kyo let go, and step back, freeing Ash's crushed hand. Ash got up quickly, looking at Kyo, who was bent over, and holding his crotch.

"That's just like you, you bastard!" Kyo gritted through his teeth. Ash managed a small smile on his face as he got up completely. His left hand throbbed with pain. He looked at the broken, ruined nails. He swore he had broken a finger. He just didn't know which one hurt the most.

"Vous hybride! Je vais vous inciter à regretter ceci..."(T: You bastard! I'm going to make you regret this...) Ash trailed off. He began his combo move He started off with Thermidor, Ash formed a giant ball of green fire in the palms of his hands, then pushed it forward, onto the distracted Kyo. It contacted, leaving Kyo's weak figure to deal with it. Then, proceeded it with the Pluviose, where he did three somersaults in a row, with a trail of flames coming from his ankles to finish Kyo off. Landing almost perfectly, he looked back to Kyo, who was on the ground, unmoving. He looked over to where Terry and Geese should have been fighting, but it seemed as if there was a winner. Terry stood weakly, bloodied, and bruised up. It looked like the mirrored Geese had given him quite a beating. Then he wondered where Benimaru was. More than half of the people were gone. Ash decided to leave Terry alone-for now. He headed over to where Benimaru was, unconscious, and unmoving. He had almost reached him when Athena stood in front of him, an angry look on her face.

"You're the cause of all of this...I'll make sure you'll never get out of here alive!" She did her Psycho Ball. It collided with Ash's stomach, but he managed to catch himself before falling. (I don't have time for this...) He thought as he teleported out of her sight. He quickly grabbed Benimaru, then less than a second later, they were gone.

"No! He got away!" Athena looked around. He saw no one else in sight. Now it was up to her to help everyone get medical attention.

XDXDXD
