Rin walked out of the travel agency, almost fuming at the thought of all the money he would have to pay due to the damages inflicted by fistfight between the two men. He picked up the keys to his personal hover, and was about to get in when he heard a noise behind him. He spun around, but saw nothing. He looked over to his left and saw one of his bodyguards standing next to the hover. He motioned for the man to come over, but something flashed through the air, and the man dropped to the ground. Rin spun around, trying to find whatever it was, but still saw nothing except his other three guards laying on the ground. "What is going on?" Rin asked himself. Suddenly, he heard a buzzing sound behind, while at the same time, he felt something grab his shoulder and throw him to the ground.
"Stay down!" The voice hit Rin like the hiss of a Basilisk, but in it Rin heard something that made him obey. He screwed his eyes shut, and then he heard the swoosh of a blade cutting through air, then the howling of pyreflies escaping to the farplane, and a grunt. Rin looked up and saw one of the fighters from the tournament staring down at him, red eyes glowing in the darkness of the night. "You can get up now," said the man with the hissing voice, as he offered his hand to the merchant.
"Thank you," replied Rin. He started to walk back towards the Agency, but stopped when the hissing man's hand grabbed him again.
"Into the hover! Now!" commanded the man, and Rin complied immediately. He jumped in and closed the cockpit hatch, then looked out the window to see what was happening. He watched helplessly as hundreds of Fiends started pouring in from the tress and pathways straight towards the Agency, but of the hissing man, he could not see anything.
Pyreflies were exploding everywhere as Stree, Rikku and Auron, the three people with weapons, moved in with an eerie synchronization and started attacking the fiends together. At one point, Stree had only just finished off a behemoth when he heard a scream and found Rikku with her dagger buried to the hilt in the throat of a Lupe who was about to bite him. He nodded thanks, then cut the legs out from under another Lupe who was going fro Auron, then ducked as Rikku threw dagger at one of the other fiends. Stree ducked and found himself back to back with Auron, who was cutting through swarms of bite bugs. Suddenly, Auron pushed Stree out of the way, then a swirling tornado caught almost all of the fiends in the room. Whiwel Stree and Rikku circled around to deal with the remainder, Auron took a quick sip of his drink, then threw his sword into the twister, sending the fiends flying everywhere and causing pyreflies to explode all around the room. But for all of their collective fighting talents, nothing was helping, for every one fiends that they'd eliminate three more rose up to take it's place. Stree felt himself go flying from the tail of yet another Behemoth, then saw a flash of silver streak past him, and go straight through the gigantic fiend's leg. He looked over, and saw Yojimbo, one of the fighter's from the tournament and one of the few who had stayed when the fiends attacked the stadium, ducking and weaving and stabbing and slicing in a pattern too graceful to be used while killing fiends, and nodded his thanks to him as well. Stree felt himself getting angrier and angrier at the fact that he had been saved so many times in the recent times. He started taking it out on the fiends, and any monster unlucky enough to go for him soon felt the cold steel as his sword cut through them as if there was nothing solid inside. Suddenly, he felt Yojimbo grab him by the shoulder and throw him backwards, where he found Kam being carried, kicking and screaming through the back door by Wakka, with Auron and Kimarhi acting as guards.
"You must get out!" hissed Yojimbo. "Quickly. I shall follow!" Yojimbo gave Stree a final push, then Tidus grabbed him by the arm and motioned for the door. Stree pulled his arm away, but started moving as the pack of Fiends seemed to grow. They exited the door and found Rin waiting with a hover, and all of them jumped aboard. The hover started moving, but a Skink was able to catch them and pulled Stree off. He landed hard on the ground, and found himself looking into the face of the fiends that had thrown him to the ground. Stree grabbed his Hammer, and lanced it up through the neck of the fiend, then flipped up onto his feet to face the rest of the oncoming group. He saw Yojimbo come running to his side, and the two of them started hacking apart fiend after fiend as they came near. Suddenly, one of the fiends caught Stree in the back launching him forward and making him lose his grip of his weapon. He rolled himself over and found himself staring up into the gaping jaw of a Lupe. He felt it's hot breath as it reared its head back to bite him. Stree reached for his sword, but couldn't find it anywhere. He reached his hands up to grab the Skink's neck, but Yojimbo appeared from nowhere and cut the fiend's head clean off its shoulders. He lifted Stree up and started pushing him towards the moving hover.
"Here!" hissed Yojimbo. "A parting gift!" With that he pushed his sword into Stree's hands. "Now go!" When Stree wouldn't move, Yojimbo picked him up and, using incredible srength that he couldn't possibly have possessed, threw him onto the hover ten feet away. As the hover started to move, Stree picked himself up and yelled out to Rin
"Stop! We have to get him!" He yelled, pounding on the glass.
Auron grabbed him. "It's too late! He's gone!"
Yojimbo, now weaponless, started attacking with his hands as the fiends started to swarm him, sensing that he was weak without his sword. Fiend after fiend started piling on top of him, pushing him further and further into the ground. With each fiend that landed on him, the grin that Yojimbo held underneath his mask grew ever bigger. Finally, when the weight seemed to great for even him to bear, and he was sure that the hover was a safe distance away, Yojimbo started laughing. "You fools should never have fucked with me!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. His entire body started glowing, and suddenly, the entire world turned pure white as an explosion tore through the area surrounding the travel agency. Fiend exploded into pyreflies as the explosion ripped it's way right down into the valley below. When the world finally returned to it's normal color. Not one of the fiends was alive, and the road was covered with pyreflies. Yojimbo was gone as well, completely obliterated except for his white mask, that lay crack, half buried in the ground.
Thank you YojimbosBlade! Yojimbo is an awesome fighter, isn't he?
