Well, thank you Emron wolfmanfreak for that very "kind" review. Let me tell you I've never watched an episode of InuYasha in my entire life. In fact, I didn't even know it had a series outside of video games, and the only reason I know those exist is because I've watched X-Play before. I assure you any similarities to anything in this story are completely coincidental, because all of it has come from my head. (by the way, I'm sure you don't mind that I've deleted your fairly accusing and completely pointless "review" )
------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- ------------------ ------------
There was a bright flash and Mike soon found himself without Ross. He was now back inside the hospital where he was being treated for his almost fatal mosquito bite, and he had the wooden rod that Ross handed to him as his only defense.
Kline was standing right across the room from this and held his fists up in the air. He was ready to battle Mike, and he clearly didn't look too concerned. One of the things Mike noticed is that the bracers Kline was wearing on his wrist seemed to be glowing a little bit. A light blue shade came out the parts on top of the wrist.
"Come on, Bien," Mike said, "I hope you can pull through for me here."
Taking the giant stick, Mike started trying to swing it around using the same techniques that Bien had taught him involving a rapier. The only drawback to it was that the rapier was much lighter, more maneuverable, the blade was a lot shorter and had sharper parts to it, and it was much more painful if hit.
Kline pushed both of his gauntlets in front of Mike and they started glowing once again. Instantly, a blue blast of some mysterious power erupted from them and started firing right at Mike.
Mike ducked out of the way and the blue blasts just barley missed his head. They instead hit the wall right behind him, leaving a giant whole in the spot where the blast hit.
"Whoa," Mike said. "That seems kinda dangerous."
Kline immediately jumped right in front of him and started trying to grab Mike by the throat and either choke him to death or to snap his neck. Either way, Mike had to find some way to stop it.
Mike pushed the stick in front of himself and in front of Kline, hoping it would obstruct his path. And it worked, because Kline couldn't get his attacks in with Mike continuously pushing the large wooden rod in front of him.
Finally, Kline instead jumped back and went over to the stand next to Mike's hospital bed. He started picking up anything fragile and began chucking them at Mike as hard as he possibly could.
Mike once again found himself ducking out of the way of every object Kline was throwing. It wasn't easy, and sometimes he had to stick the giant wooden rod he was holding in front of him so that he could get hit.
The sound of glass shattering and hitting the tile floor to the small, cramped hospital bedroom filled the air for a brief moment, but neither fighter could get too distracted by it.
Kline jumped in the air and on top of the bed, thinking it would give him more space to attack and be harder to hit. He once again started firing the blue rays from the heavy metal bracelets on him and tried to hit Mike once again.
This time, Mike found himself having to roll out of the way much quicker because he was at a steeper angle to be hit. He started jumping around the room very quickly, just barely being missed by all the blasts.
"All right, payback time!" Mike yelled when Kline had finished firing some of the energy from his bracers. He ran over to Kline very quickly and caused his plan of standing on the hospital bed to backfire.
Taking the giant wooden rod he held in his hand, Mike smashed the end right into Kline's crotch.
Kline started wincing up in pain and let out a loud yell, and Mike promptly took the stick again and hit him over the head with it. But Kline still had enough energy left in him. Taking his right hand, he grabbed the rod and started resisting.
Kline then took his free hand and snapped the end of the rod off, giving him a fair piece to fight with. But he actually looked pretty nervous when he broke the wooden rod.
"Maverick is going to be so displeased with me…" he said to himself before he got his focus back on started fighting Mike again.
Now that the stick was shorter, lighter and had a more sharp end, Mike could control it a bit easier, but nothing like the rapier techniques that Bien had taught them. At least he had more control this time.
But Kline seemed particularly deadly, even if he only had a small bit of wood to defend himself. He was treating it like it was a dagger, and he used it to the extent where Mike was actually pretty scared of him.
Mike slowly started backing up. A violent and hateful smile started spreading across Kline's middle aged face, and his sneer only intimidated Mike all the more.
"You're finished, kid!" Kline yelled.
In one last effort, Mike put the sharp end out and tried to stab Kline in the stomach with it, hoping for the best. The stabbing motion seemed to work, surprisingly, and Kline was sent back, now clutching his abdomen in pain.
After Mike had delivered that blow to Kline, he was now obviously the one with the advantage. Taking the large wooden stick one more time, Mike slammed the blunt end down on Kline and knocked him out cold.
Kline fell to the ground after receiving the blow to the skull and was knocked out cold. He didn't get up after being knocked down.
Mike was breathing heavily, but he didn't say a word. He just continued staring at Kline, and then at the broken piece of wood he was holding in his own hand.
"Wow, it's just a wooden rod," Mike said as he looked at it. "What's the big deal?...huh?"
Mike looked at the bracelets that Kline was wearing on his two hands. Both of them seemed to be glowing, and there was a strange sense about them. For some reason, Mike felt like he absolutely had to get closer to them. He had to touch them.
Mike went over to the two bracelets and lifted them up. They suddenly started getting warmer and warmer in his hands, but for some reason, he didn't put them on.
"Weird," Mike said as he pocketed the two accessories. He then heard what sounded like two nurses walking over to the room to see how it was going. "Uh-oh."
Mike ran out of the room as quickly as possible and down the long, empty halls of the hospital. He ran around a corner and hid there. There were indeed two nurses heading towards the room, and Mike made it around the corner right before they would have caught him.
As he was breathing heavily and being thankful that he was still alive after the fight he got in with Kline just a moment ago, but then he felt something weird coming from the pocket he put the bracelets in.
Mike reached into his pocket and pulled the bracelets out. There seemed to be something weird about them. Maybe if he just put them on…
Mike slowly slipped both bracelets on his opposite hands. As soon as he did that, he felt a weird power rush through him. But even weirder, a giant white light started forming around him as he put the bracelets on.
"What the?..." Mike said.
But it was too late. The white light that formed when he put the bracelets on teleported him to some far other place.
