Chapter 14
The shurikens that nearly tore themselves into Scout's head missed their target, and hit nothing but a wall. Scout had ducked under a millisecond to dodge the attack, and looked at Genji with a smirk.
"Missed me!" He taunted, but in his mind he was freaking out.
"DAMN! If I hadn't have hit the ground any sooner, I'd be a goner." He thought. The talon soldiers began firing upon Scout and the guards with him.
They took cover immediately and contemplated on what to do. Scout knew that he'd have to take on the Genji, since the guards with him wouldn't stand a chance.
"Hey listen 'ere! I'll take on cyborg ninja guy alright? You take care of the others!" Scout ordered, to which they nodded in agreement. Great, now he just needs to lead Genji away.
"Yo come at me ya ninja freak!" Scout jumped into the fray, dodging the bullets of the Talon troops while shooting at Genji. The Shimada merely reflected the bullets before following the Boston boy to a more empty area.
When Scout felt that he found a more suitable area where he can fight Genji without the risk of harming the guards, he stopped to face him. Only to realize that the Talon agent was nowhere to be seen, like as if he left. But Scout knew better, that's what Genji wanted him to think.
"Oh come on! You gonna hide when I was just starting to have fun?" Scout taunted while looking left and right. It was quiet for a moment until Scout heard something behind him, Scout did a 180 degree turn immediately with his bat and hand but yet again he was met with nothing.
Suddenly Scout's battle instinct took control when he saw something in the corner of his eyes and ducked to dodge a katana swing that aimed for his neck. As soon as he dodged he received a nasty hit to the head, sending him rolling and crashing towards a wall. Scout's hearing was gone for a moment and his vision was giving him all kinds of dizziness.
He felt something warm trickling down his forehead as he got up to his knees and looked at his adversary who slowly approached him.
"He's tough…he baited me to dodge and I took it, I cannot let my guard down anymore." Scout thought while grasping his injured head.
"You're reflexes are formidable, but it won't be enough to save you." Genji commented.
"Don't be judging when ya haven't seen all I can do, I'm just gettin' started." Scout got up slowly, right before running in a straight line towards the cyborg ninja and taking out his scattergun.
"You are a fool for running at me in a predictable path." Genji said.
Scout fired his scattergun, Genji reflected the bullets back to his opponent. Scout dashed to the side and continued firing at Genji, while closing the distance between the two. Genji began advancing to Scout and threw more shurikens at the Boston boy, Scout leaped in the air to evade them.
"He has no mobility in the air, it is finish." Genji mused and launched himself at Scout with his katana in hand, expecting to finish right then and there. But while in midair when Genji was just about to slice him, Scout smirked and did double jump, dodging Genji's katana and flying over the ninja's head.
"Nani!?" Genji shouted in his mind.
"Ha! Gotcha now!" Scout said as he aimed for the back of Genji's head. But then Genji did something he'd never see coming, he double jumped as well and moved safely out of the way of Scout's scattergun.
"What da hell!?" Scout screaming in his thoughts.
Up until this point, the only person Scout has ever met that could double jump as well was his rival, Blu Scout which was his literal counterpart. So he was very surprised to see someone else doing it. Both fighters landed on their feet and turned back at each other.
Genji went on assault again and threw multiple shurikens at Scout. Scout gasped and jumped away, but was attacked constantly by a line of shurikens that kept coming at him. Scout rolled and flipped to dodge most of them but when they got to close he took out his aluminum bat.
"Battin' A Thousand!" Scout cried as he spun his bat around to deflect the rest of the shurikens. Genji tilted his head in interest after watching Scout's little display, till their eyes met.
(A/N: This is a taunt for Scout by the way.)
Scout glared into Genji's eyes and pointed at him with his bat. Genji acknowledged the challenge and unsheathed his katana.
"Gonna have to play very tricky with this guy, move faster, if I want to come out of this alive. He's already hit me good, and I still haven't landed a finger on em', and I can't use guns either since he can just bounce the bullets off of his sword thing." Scout thought as he got into his stance, "I still haven't gone full speed yet, and my bonk! is still in my pocket, these are my only two advantages I have against him right now."
Right when Scout blinked after finishing his thoughts his left eye was nearly pierced by the katana if it wasn't for him bending backwards. Genji flew over him after failing to strike him once again, Scout ran after him in full speed with his bat in both hands. Then as soon as he got close, he threw a roundabout swing attack at Genji.
And since Genji was caught off guard by Scout's sudden new speed, the mercenary finally landed a hit on the Shimada in the face. The cyborg ninja recoiled and staggered away while grabbing his mask that hid his face.
"Not done yet punk!" Scout said as he made a quick running start then leaped at Genji, and drop kicking him in the chest. The impact of the kick caused Genji to fall backwards to the floor, but the Shimada recovered and got up with haste.
"You have earned some of my respect, it has been awhile since someone has landed an attack on me, and it's a feat to even survive this long as well." Genji complimented.
"Ha! Don't think yo sappy talkin is gonna get you anywhere!" Scout responded. "But I'll give ya some probs, not too shabby."
"While your way of talking is a bit…unusual, I'll take the compliment. However, this fight will end with me in victory. You've lost blood up till this point, it's only an amount of time till you succumb to your injuries." Genji motioned towards Scout's bleeding forehead.
"Oh this?" Scout pointed at his head injury. "Pfft, I've had worst. Like that time when I took three rockets at once, I still lived!"
Genji had nothing to say about that, but tilted his head in confusion. There was an awkward silence between the two, and Scout was getting a feeling that Genji wouldn't believe him.
"Your head injury has clearly taken its toll on you, I will finish you off as an act of kindness for you." Genji said as he unsheathed his katana again.
"This is coming from the guy who gave me said head injury!" Scout roared in rage before running at Genji, the cyborg ninja met him in the middle.
Both katana and bat met as the two fighters continued to brawl on, Scout furiously swinging his bat at his opponent in different angles. The attacks from the Boston boy set Genji to defense as he blocked the attacks. Then with swiftness Genji crouched and spun a full 360 degree turn with his leg kicked out, knocking Scout off his feet and onto his back.
Seeing Scout's vulnerability, Genji thrusts his katana back down to Scout, only for the attack to be blocked by the aluminum bat. The katana pushed down against the shaking bat as Scout struggled to push back. Then with a grunt, Scout used both his legs to push Genji off of him. Genji was pushed back yet he threw 3 shurikens in return, Scout forced himself to dart to the side and evaded the lethal projectiles in time.
Taking his baseball out, he tossed it in the air before striking it hard with his bat, sending the baseball flying towards Genji. The Shimada reflected the baseball and sent it flying back towards Scout. The mercenary gasped before hitting it again back at Genji, who did the same. All of a sudden this fight turned into some sort of tennis match as the two kept on sending it back at one another.
"YOU KNOW THE IDEA OF BASEBALL IS TO CATCH IT! NOT TO HIT IT BACK!" Scout shouted out as the speed increased gradually. Genji continued to concentrate as the ball kept on coming at him faster and faster.
Then with a sudden new source of strength Scout hit the baseball with all his might, the ball flew at Genji in high speeds. Genji couldn't deflect in time and took the blow to the head. The baseball struck him so hard he started to see stars in his vision and the world was spinning around him.
"Can't let em breath!" Scout gritted his teeth and gripped his aluminum bat before charging at Genji.
Unfortunately for Genji, he wasn't able to see Scout coming since the dizziness was causing him to lose balance. Scout appeared right beside him and slammed his bat on Genji's left side, Genji groaned in pain. Scout then dash to Genji's right side and battered his right arm. To finish it off Scout stood right before him and shot Genji right in the gut, a successful meat shot.
"AUGH!" Genji coughed out and tasted his own blood.
"Whoo! Hit da bricks pal cuz you're done!" Scout mocked.
However, Genji has had enough of this and jumped away, and landed some distances from Scout.
"Aww running away?" Scout teased while resting his bat on his shoulder.
Genji Shimada glared at Scout before unleashing his ultimate.
"Ryūjin no Ken Wo Kurae!" Genji cried out as he spun his katana around, and to Scout's surprise he saw a dragon figure flow with katana and roared at him before disappearing. Genji now glowed with a red aura surrounding him, and the atmosphere felt more different from before.
Scout knew he was in for it now, he took out his Bonk! soda and gulped a mouth full, knowing that if he took more than that will put him in danger. After that he put the soda can away and felt the Bonk! doing it's magic.
"Come at me!" Scout roared. Genji complied as he raced towards Scout with new speeds faster than before.
Once they were close, Genji sliced his katana at Scout too earlier. Scout thought since Genji messed up he could take advantage, but he soon realized it would not be a good idea when he saw what happened next. Like something out of a videogame, as soon as Genji swung his katana, a sharp glowing wind blade appeared and flew at Scout.
"Woah!" Scout's eyes widened at the sight and he used his new speed to dodge the attack. Behind him the wind blade continued on its course and cut through a wall like it was paper.
"His strikes are more powerful now…!" Scout dodged another attack by docking under it. "They're faster too!" Scout clenched his teeth he dodged more of the attacks.
"His speed has increased significantly after consumed the contents of that soda from earlier." Genji noticed, he sees Scout trying to make an attack on his flank and denied it easily, forcing Scout back to defense.
"I'll not be able to land a good hit on him at this rate!" Scout thought in frustration, he felt his heart beating hard and his chest was starting to hurt, he knew he was running out of time. Unbeknownst to him though, Genji was dealing with the same situation.
"I'll not be able to keep up my attacks for long, if I don't finish him before my ultimate is finished he'll use his new speed against me." Genji mused, feeling worried for the first time in awhile.
"Screw this! Going all in!" Scout finally broke then shouted in frustration and ran directly at Genji, the cyborg ninja did the same.
When they were feets away from each other, both jumped simultaneously, finishing the gap between one another. Scout swung his bat, Genji swung his katana.
Scout angled his body to dodge the dangerous katana, and struck Genji in the face, knocking his mask off.
Genji grimaced in pain as the vibration from the attack shook his head, but he knew the fight was now over.
Both fighters landed back on the ground with their backs facing each other, standing still for one moment until Scout fell to his knees and then to the dirt. He grasped his now bleeding stomach as he hunched over in pain. Yes Scout dodged the katana but he didn't dodge the wind blade that came after the katana.
While Genji was still standing he noticed woozy he was feeling, his head ached in pain and his broken nose bled profusely. He frowned as he felt the air blow against his now bare face, nevertheless he'll ignore it for now. Genji turned to face his downed opponent walked to him slowly.
Scout could hear the sounds of Genji's footsteps approaching and panicked. He tried to pick himself up but only fell back down once he felt not only his bleeding stomach, but his chest as well. He forgot about the lash back of Bonk! The pain swelling in his chest was becoming unbearable, and his breathing turned into wheezing.
Soon he sees Genji's feet right next to him and he looked up with a glare at Genji, who looked down at him. Genji saw how Scout's blood began to form a little pool around him, and decided to end the Boston boy's suffering.
"You are a warrior, one of the rarest kind I ever seen. Die now with honor, knowing that your ancestors will be proud of you for dying in battle." Genji raised his katana with both hands, the weapon pointing downward towards Scout's heart. Time slowed down as Scout thoughts began to take over.
"Engie...Team...Lena…no!" Scout cried in his mind and waited for the katana to pierce itself into his heart. But then…something unexpected happen.
Just when Genji was about to thrust his katana down to Scout's body, he heard a loud battle cry, followed by something slamming itself harshly into his side. The attack pushed Genji away from Scout and into a wall, slamming Genji's unprotected head into the wall and knocking him out.
Hearing the commotion, Scout weakly opened his eyes to peak at his sudden savior, but his vision was too blurry. All he got to see before he fell into unconsciousness was a male figure with a blazing green fire on what looks to be an eye patch.
