Episode 27: Three and Outsider vs Mei and Kazuki
The girl charged Three, and punched at him. Three dodged it, and notched an arrow. He let it fly, straight at her. The guy she showed up with teleported in front of the arrow and he tanked it in the shoulder.
"Thanks." The girl said.
The man still remained silent, yanking the arrow from his shoulder and dropping it to the ground.
"What are your names?" Outsider asked. "I want to know them before we kill you."
"I am Mei. And my friend here is Kazuki. And you?"
"My code name is Three."
"And I go by Outsider."
"Three and Outsider... you two are going to die." Mei instantly covered her ears as she said this, and suddenly Kazuki made a hand sign and opened his mouth.
A deep loud bellowing roar erupted from his mouth, that for some reason made Outsider and Three drop to their knees.
"What the hell...?" Three mumbled.
Kenpachi turned as he heard the yell. He still had a frown on his face. "What the hell is that?"
"Kenny, didn't you pay attention when Kin-Kin was explaining everyone's jutsus? That's Kazuki's jutsu. The foe who hears it will fall to their knees, and they won't be able to fight anymore. But Kazuki can't move either, so that's why he always travels with Mei so she can finish them off."
"I don't care. Now where the hell is Ice?"
She rubbed her chin. "Um... that way!" She pointed to the right.
"Are you sure? I don't want to go into another dead end again."
"I'm sure, Kenny~! Call it' a woman's intuition?"
Kenpachi rolled his eyes, but turned that way anyway.
Mei drew a kunai, and she stabbed down at Outsider's head.
A force field of chakra glowed around her, blocking the attack. Suddenly both Outsider and Three were on their feet.
"What? How the hell are you both on your feet?"
"We both made a barrier of chakra around us. We've heard of that jutsu that, and we knew how to counter it. It just took some time."
"Close your mouth, Kazuki. It looks like we're going to go hand to hand."
Kazuki did as he was told, and he gripped his knuckles, and struck a stance.
Mei struck a stance as well.
"I'll take the girl, if you can handle Kazuki." Said Three, getting another arrow ready.
"I can handle him alright. He's going to die."
"Remember his secondary power."
"Stop talking and fight!" Mei launched herself towards Outsider, but Three jumped in the way, and he hit her in the face with his bow. She fell back a step, and slashed at him with her kunai. Three jumped back, and fired an arrow at her.
Kazuki punched at Outsider's chest. She created a small force field from her hands to block the attack, and she took a step backwards. Chakra glowed at her arm, and then morphed into a spear, and she stabbed at him.
He tanked the blow, and it went through his arm. He yanked it out, and his arm healed. He flung her towards a wall.
Mei and Three both jumped backwards. They landed on different walls, across from each other.
Both of them instantly jetted forwards, running in the same direction. Three fired an arrow at Mei, who threw a kunai. The kunai and arrow hit each other, and they both fell to the ground. They each shoot/ threw another projectile, and the same thing happened. Mei then jumped over to the same wall as Three, who jumped backwards, and then landed on the ground.
Mei jumped down after him. Three shot another arrow at her as she fell to the ground, but she dodged it.
"Let's face it. This battle's not going anywhere. It's going to go the same way until someone runs out of shit to throw at each other. And that'll be a while. Then whoever wins will have to go and collect their projectiles, and that won't be fun. So let's just go hand to hand right now."
Three jumped up into the air, and he landed on the wall. He fired at her, but she blocked it with a kunai. "Fine then. Have it your way. We'll just chase each other around for a while."
Outsider did a flip and then hit the wall with her feet. She then flew towards Kazuki, who readied to punch her out of the air. Outsider dodged backwards, and avoided his attack. She then slashed him across the same arm as she stabbed- and the same arm that Three shot- and Kazuki jumped backwards again. His wound healed slightly slower the last than it did the last time.
It's actually working! Outsider thought. The boss told me to target the same limb and his jutsu would slow down, but I didn't think it would work. I should probably have more faith in my boss.
She jumped backwards and dodged a punch by Kazuki. What I need to do, She thought. Is to start focusing on this fight.
She landed on the ground, and then gathered chakra all over her body. It glowed in an armor like pattern, with spikes over her hands and spikes on the end of her feet and spikes all over her back and chest. She also had horns on her head.
Mei jumped up on the wall, and start chasing Three. Three spun around, and shot an arrow at Mei, who dodged it, and hurled a kunai at him. Three ducked, and then jumped over to the other wall. Mei followed him,
Three then stopped, and he jumped to the ground. He put his bow at his back, and he pulled out two arrows.
"Are you ready to get serious, Three?"
"Shut up." Three stabbed down at Mei's arm with his arrow, but she dodged it, and then drew a kunai and stabbed at him.
He dodged to the right, and then stabbed at her head.
Mei blocked Three's blow by catching his arm. She then stabbed up at Three's head.
Three blocked with his arrow, breaking it. Something fell from the broken arrow, and Three caught it. He put it in his mouth, and then swallowed.
"What the hell?" Mei mumbled.
"That was a food pill." Three punched at Mei's head, but she jumped backwards, and dodged it.
Outsider charged forwards, stabbing at Kazuki's shoulder. Kazuki took the attack to the forearm, but before he could get himself free Outsider stabbed him in the shoulder with her other hand.
He groaned. Then he punched Outsider in the chest with his free hand.
Outsider fell backwards, watching as Kazuki's forearm healed. After a second his shoulder healed.
"Don't think you have beaten me yet." His voice was deep, and it echoed off the walls. "I will kill you for my village."
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so sure about that." Outsider stabbed at his face.
Three kicked up at Mei's jaw, but she dodged it. She then jumped up onto the wall that was behind her, and drew a kunai. Three flew up at her, stabbing at her shoulder. She managed to block his strike, breaking his arrow. But she still fell backwards.
Mei did a backflip and landed on her feet. Three fired down at her with another arrow, but she used her kunai to block it. While the arrow was still in the air, Three charged at her.
Outsider was stabbing at Kazuki, but Kazuki dodged to the right and avoided it. He then punched her in the armor, and it cracked.
Outsider jumped backwards, she looked completely shellshocked. She shook her head, and then charged back at him.
"It's useless."
Her arrmor then cracked again, from the sound of his voice.
Three punched at Mei's face, who dodged it and managed to stab Three in the stomach.
Three grimaced, and he stepped backwards. He yanked the kunai from his chest, and he dropped it to the ground. He grabbed an arrow, and with his other hand he made a hand sign. He touched the bladed side of the arrow to his wound, and it healed.
"What the actual f-"
Rinji walked up to Tatsuzo. "Alright, Tatsuzo. We're going to do the thing at night fall."
"That's in about half an hour."
"Right."
"Don't worry. I'll cover you. But does her squad know?"
"I think it'd be better if they did, but they don't. Should I tell them?"
"Yeah. They might blow my cover."
Outsider charged at Kazuki and this time stabbed him right in the chest. Her armor then shattered in a million pieces, disappearing in the air. "Damn..." She mumbled. She made a hand sign with her free hand, and she began to drain away Kazuki's chakra.
Kazuki grabbed her wrist, and hurled her backwards. But she still drained almost all of his chakra. He wouldn't be able to tank any more blows- and both of them knew that. Outsider would use that to her advantage, and Kazuki knew that. He didn't know if he had an advantage anywhere.
Three had just healed his wound.
"I'm sorry. But I cannot screw around any more. You have to die." He drew another arrow, and stabbed at her. She tried to block it, but he dodged her block, and then managed to stab her in the shoulder.
She groaned, and fell back. She tried to take the arrow from her arm, but it was no use- it hurt her too much to try to take it out.
Three began to charge at her.
Oh God... She thought. I'm going to die... She swallowed. Please... no...
Outsider charged Kazuki, and then stabbed forwards right into his shoulder, and he fell to the ground unable to fight any longer.
Three charged into Mei, and he stabbed her in the chest with his arrow.
Rinji teleported out of the hospital, and he teleported to the roof. He then darted forwards, right in the direction of Killer and Yellow.
Inside the building, Tatsuzo made a hand sign, and created a Shadow Clone. He then made the Shadow Clone transform into Rinji.
Notes: Eh... I rushed to get this episode done. So I don't expect it to be exactly as good as the rest of the episodes. The reason why I rushed, is because I'm going to be busy the rest of the week, but I might be able to post the next episode this weekend- and hopefully I'll be able to post the next episode of Coyote Starrk for those of you who are following both.
