The four friends stood, almost paralyzed as they searched for the ones emitting the intense auras.
"They've finally shown themselves..." Koray said with a little too much ease.
"Who's shown up?" Yusuke demanded.
"The Black Knights." Koray answered.
"Who?" Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted in unison.
"You'll soon see." Koray said as six cloaked warriors appeared seemingly out of nowhere. They surrounded Koray and the four boys leaving nowhere to run. Because of their cloaks, it wasn't possible to tell what they looked like. One of them stepped forward. He must have been the leader of the group.
"It looks like we got the jump on you, Koray." He said confidently. Koray said nothing. "We knew you'd come here eventually, so we waited for you. And now that the kids are here to hold you back, it'll be much easier to kill you."
"Who's holding him back?" Yusuke shouted. "I'll have you know-"
"Enough, Yusuke. This is my fight, not yours." Koray said cutting off the spirit detective. "And as for you; I hope you don't actually think you caught me by surprise. I came here to get rid of you, so you had better leave before I start getting violent."
"You arrogant bastard! I'll show you!" One of the men yelled as he charged at Koray. But before the warrior could draw any weapons or use any of his powers, Koray disappeared. Within a second, Koray appeared behind the attacker, who fell to the ground in pieces, his blood staining the ground upon which they stood.
"So, who's next?" Koray said with a slightly confident grin.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei, not to mention the remaining Black Knight members stared with shock. Koray's speed was incredible. Unmatchable. And every movement was executed with smooth transitions and perfect swordplay.
However, unlike everyone else, the leader of the group of Black Knights was not swayed by Koray's skill. "Heh heh. This is going to be fun." He stated with a bloodthirsty grin. Suddenly, the ground cracked on his right side and opened up. Then a giant sword rose out of the newly created space and settled easily in the knight's hand. From this action Koray could tell that he was an earth demon who specializes in the manipulation of dirt, rock or ground, depending on the context and what the actual terrain is. The knight whispered one word before he attacked: "Die."
He swung the sword, which looked too heavy to be of use, with ease. The force created by that action caused the ground to almost erupt and send a tidal wave of rock, dirt and some of the stone stairs in Korays direction.
Rather than attempt to run away, Koray held his hand out behind him, gathering a large amount of aura there. Then he thrusted his arm forward, putting his whole body into it, and from his hand was released a large amount of flames that absorbed, stopped, and incinerated the entirety of his opponent's attack. Everyone else stared in awe, unsure of what to say.
"Th-that was... Incredible!" Yusuke barely managed to say.
"So much power in those attacks... And neither of them is worn out!" Kuwabara said.
"Yes, it's true. They are both very powerful." Kurama said with dismay. Hiei just stared, unsure of what to say or think.
"So, are you ready to give up?" Koray said arrogantly.
"Ha! Not until I've taken your head!" The knight screamed as he charged at Koray, but with must greater speed than his late companion. His sword met Koray's with a loud CLANG! And the two began sword fighting.
"For using such a large weapon, his movements are surprisingly smooth and diverse. Though, with his weapon, Koray still has the advantage because there are more techniques available to a regular sword." Kurama said with the usual intelligence. "The Black Knight is doing well, though. Because of his weapon size, his attacks are very heavy. It's all Koray can do to block."
The others observed the fight more closely, and found that Kurama was right. Koray was blocking more than attacking.
"No... you're wrong." Hiei said finally.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Hiei?" Yusuke screamed.
"He's not blocking because it's all he can do, it's because it's all he wants to do." Hiei explained.
"But that makes no sense!" Kuwabara yelled at his short friend.
"What I'm trying to say, you fool, is that Koray has the power to end it now, but he's holding himself back." Hiei said, becoming impatient.
"But why would he want to do that?" Yusuke asked, confused.
"I know," Kurama said. "He doesn't want it to end it too soon. He wants to enjoy the fight." No one said anything after that. After all, they could all understand how that feels.
Suddenly the ground began to move, and it molded onto Koray's feet so that he could no longer move. His opponent jumped back and powered up an incredibly huge amount of aura into his sword; much more than before.
"Now this can finally end!" The knight screamed as he swung his sword in Koray's direction, releasing all his energy in the process.
But Koray wasn't fazed. He surrounded his entire body with a flaming aura that melted the ground holding his feet. He lifted his hands above his head, and then quickly threw them in the direction of the blast coming towards him. It came out so much stronger, and absolutely devoured the attack, as well as the knight who unleashed it, and left a terrible trail of destruction.
Everyone stared in shock.
"I can't believe he could do something like that... And in such a short time..." Kurama said with utter amazement.
"Y-yeah..." Kuwabara agreed.
Koray turned around and began to approach the remaining Black Knights. "I grow tired of your games."
The Black Knights began to quiver in fear. The look on Koray's had changed drastically. He looked almost bloodthirsty, and possessed. They knew now that they had no hope of winning. Nor any chance of coming out of this fight alive.
"NO! WE WON'T LOOSE TO YOU!" They screamed in desperation. The Black Knights began to move around, in an attempt to distract Koray while one of them grabbed Hiei.
"HIEI!" The demon's friends yelled.
But before the knights could do or say anything, Koray appeared behind the one holding Hiei and sliced him in half, without harming Hiei in any way. Before the skewed body could hit the ground, Koray killed the other three warriors with what seemed like one swift movement that was executed with ease and grace.
