What happened before chapter 6.
I decided that Noah cannot really hurt mortal people and mortal people (or better said those not compatible with an Innocence) cannot kill a Noah. Sounds fair? Naïve? Anyway. Here comes the Fight of The Century. My ladies, gentlemen: Kanda Yuu vs. Tyki Mikk.
R&R please
Part VII – The monk and the Evil
- Yuu?
- I'm not sleeping.
- Open your eyes.
The eyelids are so heavy yet he slowly opens his eyes and looks at Fou's worried face.
- Do you remember what happened?
- I fought with a Noah.
- Yes. And you have won.
Tyki Mikk stands on the roof of the Black Order HQ. Opposite him stands a black haired boy, shorter than Mikk himself, barefoot, wearing some hakama trousers and a white shirt. Tyki cannot help but think the boy somehow enjoys standing there on the soft grass as if he didn't realize the danger he found himself in.
- Who are you? – Mikk asks
- My name is Kanda Yuu – answers the boy; the wind gently plays with his hair.
- You're lying. Kanda is dead.
- Think what you want.
- What makes you think you can fight me, child?
- I have killed Skin Bolic, what makes you think I cannot defeat you?
- Kanda has killed my brother, Skin. Not you. You're a poor copy of him. But if you claim to be Kanda, I'm fine with it, I'll have even more pleasure killing you!
Mikk attacks first. Quickly and precisely, yet the raven haired boy manages to dodge his hit.
- Well done, but I still don't understand how you want to hurt me with a wooden sword.
Another attack, another dodge. A small swarm of Tease being let out. A few black butterflies sit on Kanda's bare foot, yet, as he shakes them off, only a few small red dots can be seen on the pale skin.
- How come?
- It stings. – Yuu laughs a bit and rubs his foot with the other one. Then he smiles. – You're fun, Tyki.
Then attack by himself. Tyki cannot be really hurt with the bokken but he still feels pain from Kanda's hits. Finally he manages to grab Kanda by his throat but as he tries to reach inside him with his hand, like he did it with Walker once before, it turns out impossible for him to do so.
- Who are you? I sense no Innocence! - Mikk lets Kanda go and takes a step back.
- Because there is no Innocence inside me. That's why you couldn't tear it away from me, Tyki. You're fighting with a mortal human being. And you will lose this fight.
Kanda shifts his weight on his left foot and releases his final blow. The attack he has learned from the Shaolin monks.
The world spins around as he falls to his knees, breathing heavily. Something comes up to his throat and for a second Kanda feels dizzy. He stands up though, prepared for Mikk's next attack but finds his opponent lying on the grass, unconscious. He slowly steps aside, feeling a wave of dizziness take over him again.
A blurry figure can be seen in the distance.
- Fou?
- Yuu! Hold on, I'm coming!
- Fou… - he is so very tired. The cardinal was right, he needs some rest.
- He's dead, Yuu.
- I couldn't…
- No, being incompatible you couldn't kill a Noah, but you still defeated him and helped us capture him. Krory killed him. He came up shortly after me. You lost consciousness.
- And the other Noah?
- The Earl and Road managed to escape. Everybody else is dead now. But we have also lost a few recruits and finders. And Miranda is…
Yuu rises on his bed violently. – What's wrong with her?
- She's badly injured, Yuu. I'm sorry.
