TheDArkestShinobi: Shorp chap, but I like the way it came out and I hope you do too.
Story Start:
He could only watch the purple glow until it had faded from the air and remained only on his sword. He saw it then, the shadow of the Queen Fiend. He rushed after it trying to cut her in half with his sword but he phased right through her and she let out a laugh.
"Such a fool Hayabusa." She turned then, her disgusting figure posing sensually. "This is your last chance."
"Join me" she finished pushing her head slightly with her hand.
He only narrowed his eyes in response and she flew up coming down about 5 meters in front of him. He raised his sword defensively while looking at the surroundings trying to figure out how to vanquish this evil once and for all. It seemed impossible.
"Then it's about time you died." She screeched out as she charged forward.
.
Ayane felt the cool breeze sweep from underneath her as she stared at the man in front of her. He sized her up, trying to determine what type of ninja she was and how best to attack. He decided she couldn't be that different than Kasumi.
She lifted her arm to block his first strike, grabbing his arm she tried to flip him but he pulled his back and attempted to kick her in the chest but she caught his foot. Hers then swung around to his head and he ducked sweeping his leg which she jumped over. He then took a step forward with a punch and she flipped back catching his hand with her feet. She threw him with her body and he flipped to stand facing her again.
Neither could get any hits in, Saji realized quickly that Ayane was much faster than Kasumi. He leaned back to avoid a strike and came back with a punch before she ducked lower while still spinning and kicked him in the lower leg. With a jolt of pain he fell to the ground, she jumped up and he rolled just in time to avoid her stomping on his stomach. He swept her then and she fell beside him. They rolled away from each other and Saji threw three surriken at her. She dodged one and caught the second before throwing it to deflect the third. Saji ran towards her as she avoided the shurriken and started an assault. She was able to block but unable to counter.
She felt his leg connect with the back of her neck and then the floor against her body. She pushed her body up feeling the slight burn of the bleeding scrapes on her arm and cheek. Shaking her head she stood to find him right in front of her. She brought two hands to defend a kick then spinning her body kicked his cheek with her foot, he slid on the floor and she ran towards him.
.
Ryu shook his arm to get rid of the burn as the fire disappeared behind him. He glared at the queen as he caught his breath. His arms felt heavy and he felt sluggish. He also felt something differnet, as if something was calling out to him, stirring inside of him but he didn't know what. She then let out a mad cackle as she solidified and grew wings. Her back turned into an elongated spine with a tail and her wings grew a pinkish-red color. She continued to laugh as she flew higher in the sky. Lightning illuminated the dark clouds and the thunder roared as she looked down. She dove in the field below before coming up slightly so that she was within range of her prey.
"Now I, queen of the greater fiends have my own body thanks to your excellent work. You have no choice but to surrender."
Ryu's blue skin glowed as his veins turned huge and white and he fell to his knees and his sword clattered as it fell away, in the same instant lightning struck the ground with a thunderous roar and Kasumi's eyes opened.
.
Ayane flipped Saji and he landed on the ground with a thud. He kicked her leg out and hit her knee, letting out a scream she collapsed as her leg bent the wrong way. Letting out another wail of agony she watched him get up and turn away from her running to where the other two were fighting.
She cursed him and slammed her hand on the ground.
"No way."
She looked up off the ground and at him, her red eyes glaring intensely after him and her hand grabbed the soil as she pushed her body up.
She started a string of fast words as she brought her hands together slowly. As her words got faster the wind swirled around her making her short hair fly in every direction. With a final cry she jerked her hands and lightning gathered in a ball in front of her. In an instant the sphere charged towards Sanji and electrocuted him. They both fell to the ground. His body twitched once and he was dead. Ayane looked up through bleary eyes and an orange blur appeared in front of her.
"Kasumi?" she whispered out.
"Yes," she answered "Ayane, you look terrible." She said with concern. Ayane grabbed Kasumi's forearm firmly. "I will be fine, help Ryu sama, the queen has gained a body, he is still cursed so his body will not obey him." Kasumi nodded but bit her lip staring at Ayane. The grip on her arm tightened painfully. "Now!" She screamed "Go to him!" Startled at her outburst Kasumi jumped to her feet and sprinted off.
"This was never Ryu's battle." Ayane whispered as she watched Kasumi sprint towards the others. "It was a battle for him."
Knowing her job was done, she let the darkness take her.
