Chapter 126: Victory or Death
"Just to let you know Black that Ina is dead, in fact your last bullet is what has killed her, now if you can defeat just Okuni and Tadakatsu, then their attack will have failed and we'll be able to continue the fight against them.
You can do this Black, we're all counting on you, and you have done so well to make it this far, it's not long now, just keep using your instincts and strategies and then you'll win, and then you can try out a new meal that we've been working on for the people, as a reward for your excellence and in doing well fighting it out here, under very difficult circumstances.
We'll have to reward you some more after that, and even more so when this is all over, but don't worry it'll be fun the most fun ever, but with that said you cannot relax just yet, keep going." Uni says to me via mind talk appreciative of what I've done.
Note: Readers please listen to Warriors Orochi Antiscepter while reading this:
Well that's a relief, to know that Ina is dead, this means that I only need to focus on Okuni and Tadakatsu, there's a light to the end of this tunnel of battling in this forest, full of bosses and enemy troops, I'm close to the end, but I'm also close to the end of my own life and with that the life of Lastation at the rate this is going what with my immense pain and low health, as well as rushing being extremely difficult.
Still I'm looking forward to returning to base, to Noire to try out her meal, and to spend even if it's a little while with her before having to do the rescue mission, which I know will lead to stopping the armada from reinforcing Pallet Town, but even if I know there's that to deal with, I know I cannot relax just now and I agree with Uni on that, for it is possible for me to fall at the last hurdle, and I must focus on what I have to do right now.
I thank Uni for the good news, and try and come up with a strategy, I should be happy to know that I still have a chance, but I do not want to relax, I do not want to drop my guard down, I cannot just because I have got this far, and I realise once again that dealing with those 2 will not be easy, not be easy at all, not with how they are at near full health, where as I am not, in fact I quickly remember how one more shot is all that's needed to take me down, and they are in no pain where as I am and am in serious agony, not to mention that they can move faster than me even with their weaponry and armour slowing them down.
I then think as quickly as possible, as I continue to run away despite the critical pain I have, trying to get away from Tadakatsu and his bullets from his deadly machine gun which I feel are much too close for comfort, but fortunately I then realise that while I've focused on their strengths which is important as that is what I need to be aware of, I need to focus on their weaknesses too, as then I can exploit them and defeat them with it.
With this in mind I realise that only the armoured warrior is firing at me, while Okuni isn't though this is because her weaponry is not within range of me, this at least is good that I have range advantage though it's only for a certain number of bullets which isn't enough to kill them, but perhaps enough to slow them down significantly, and there's also the fact that while Tadakatsu Honda has loads of bullets in his gun, and they're all deadly, they're not infinite, he'll run out of them, and when he does it'll take a long time for him to reload his weapon.
Yes I think I have the strategy, I just have to wait for the armoured nemesis of mine to run out of bullets and then I can snipe him in the legs that should slow him down, and then I can just continue to run, until it's just myself and Okuni, and then hopefully I can ambush her and take her out by the side, though I realise that doing so won't be easy since the pathetic dancer can move faster than me and perhaps is aware of her weakness, and there's also the severe risk of getting shot not just by her, but Tadakatsu as well, since even if he'll be wounded by that point, he could still reach my position.
Even though there'll be those concerns, I know for a fact that injuring him to the point of slowing him down, will help because that way I can buy some time in trying to deal with Okuni, and even though dealing with Tadakatsu will not be easy in the slightest with him having a machine gun and his launcher, at least it'll be better when it's just him, and hopefully I can use the shield against him, that is if it's not just bullet proof, but blast proof as well, because that could make the difference between me being able to defeat him, and it not being so because there is no alternative.
Yeah it's just a simple matter of waiting for him to run out of bullets, though it isn't really that simple is it with ensuring that Okuni doesn't get too close either, and ignoring both the severe pain I'm in, and the worry that it may not be long before I can no longer run, and I could even collapse from being far too exhausted, please body which is full of wounds and blood all over the place don't do that, not now, I will try and avoid running from then on, if you just let me run for this bit, then hopefully I won't have to run as much. There's also the issue of ignoring Honda's and his female assistant's taunts but that isn't as difficult.
"I am Tadakatsu Honda, a man of peerless might, come, are you brave enough to face me, clearly not if you insist on fleeing me and my mighty machine gun. Hey where's my music I usually have my music playing when I show up." The armoured warrior says to me, while I know that I'm not a fan of his theme so I don't wish to hear it.
I prefer to call it retreating and to use strategy which does overcome might, and if he prides himself on being a warrior, why not serve a more noble cause, a superior CPU perhaps, one who cares for the land and has much more in mind than just winning this war, and this involves making it prosperous, serving their needs and bringing happiness, as well as new innovations and technology to experience things they've never have before.
"I am Okuni of Izumo; shall I bring a little grace to the party? Oh my what have we here, a handsome man who I would like to dance with, I wonder if he blushes which would make him look ever so cute, come don't run away, it gets a little tiresome to see that, you will dance with me right and show me if you have a handsome blush?" The pathetic dancer says in a persistent tone, as if to say that I'm going out with her wherever I like it or not.
Yeah right, and if men in video games are expected to accept no when told no by a woman who they wish to date which is perfectly acceptable, then the same should apply for women in video games when wishing to date men, and I refer to her and Guo Jia when I say this, whom I remember facing the wrath of 2 fathers after asking for a date with their daughters, while the pathetic dancer, well the man she asked was pressured by a few other females to be with Okuni, what double standards there are it should be both genders accepting no when told no.
In any case I already have a girlfriend, in fact I have a wife, Noire and she's a much better wife than Okuni'll ever be, what does that hideous dancer have to offer, a lame dance? She's not even pretty not compared to Noire, who's ever so attractive, and knows how to flirt, but it's not just her beauty I like, but her warmth, her kindness, as well as her intelligence, her resourcefulness, as well as her ideas, her plans, and how she's organised and hardworking, and is very eager to get better and better at what she does.
Speaking of Noire, I look forward to seeing her once again, but I know I have to deal with the task at hand, and that involves dealing with those 2, and I will deal with them, I just need to ignore their taunts, and ignore my severe pain and then when he has to reload, I can then strike and hopefully I can slow him down enough, but dear me he still has loads of bullets rushing past me, as I try my absolute best to run through the trees, it's ever so difficult to keep going because of the pain I'm in and to avoid getting shot by him, especially since I've had a few near misses.
"You can keep running all you want, but my might and my machine gun will crush you, and put an end to you. Why don't you show me how you fight as opposed to how you flee." Honda yells out to me.
"Oh do you have to continue on running away from me, the one you're destined to be with? I don't blame you since it happens all the time, it's a good thing I can keep up with you though, it would be a shame if I couldn't, however I am not a patient lady and my patience is wearing thin. I will defeat you and then you will be mine forever, and I will dance for you and you will love it." Okuni says to me, sounding arrogant and irritating.
They're saying the same thing, so it's the same response for them and that is to ignore them, and do my best to ensure that they cannot get me, and that my body full of wounds can continue to retreat despite its condition being critically painful to say the least, and to wait for them to run out of ammunition, but the tragic thing is that although the bullets from the machine gun that's being fired at me is running low, so is my energy, and the will of my blood soaked body to carry on, who will run out first, his gun, or my energy?
It looks like it's to be my energy as the pain becomes far too much especially as I don't yell in pain despite the difficulty of it, and I know that if I don't stop soon, then I'll end up collapsing and then I'll die as a result, and so I have no choice but to hide and keep low, and give my body time to recover, at least I haven't yelled in pain but not yelling has been rather difficult, especially with how the urge has gotten bigger and bigger, it's just as well I've managed not to yell because that could have got me killed.
Despite that though there's no way I could have continued running at that point, but I am concerned that although his ammunition will run out soon, I could still get shot, and the dreaded dancer will still be running towards me even if it's slowly as she has a shield. It all depends on whether he'll have noticed I have stopped running, and have hidden, which is quite likely and how long will it take for him to realise it if not, and plus which there is also the matter of how many bullets does he actually have, because no doubt he'll continue to fire away, and how many he has left as he tries to find me, and continue firing, could make all the difference.
Even if I survive though and get a window of opportunity, will it be enough? Will I be able to slow him down significantly enough, and not only that will I be able to run away again, even after resting for what I am certain is not long enough, not long enough at all, for I am still in serious pain and part of me wishes to scream loudly from this. This is ever so frustrating but also really tense, too tense as I'm finding myself having to take cover and keep down, hoping that he'll run out of bullets before getting me, though with the amount of bullets flying past me, as I do my best to go prone and stay hidden at the same time, it's not likely, not likely at all.
It is rather difficult to think, to focus with all of these bullets being fired, and I'm having to remember to attack him in the legs when he has to reload, that is all I should really focus on for now considering the situation, I'll plan my next move after my attempt in shooting his legs in getting him to slow down, with this said though, there's just far too much riding on this, this fight, and it's a fight that is virtually impossible to win, come on Honda don't know where I am, fire your gun anywhere, and run out of bullets, just run out of bullets, so I can attack you again.
It is then that miraculously I can no longer hear him firing bullets at me, and this is indeed miraculous, for his bullets flew pretty close to me and my severely aching body full of wounds with much blood, which ensures I can't stop thinking about my pain and low health, and I think he just realised where I was but is forced to reload before he can exploit that knowledge.
Alrighty, though first I look with my magnetic vision through the tree to make sure that he has ran out of bullets and is in fact reloading, this is my window of opportunity, but I need to fire at Honda's legs and quick before running, and I realise that I'm better off just firing one clip at him and then rushing rather than firing two clips and then rushing, because I worry that he'll be able to shoot me down. I need to make the distance then, and hopefully by shooting him in the leg, it should hinder his speed, especially with the armour that he's wearing.
Alarmingly with me having to stop, I'm too within range of his gun for what I like and so I'll need to make a large distance before he's finished reloading, which I don't know if my body can take, but I have no choice, I just hope that one clip of bullets will be enough to slow the armoured warrior down significantly enough so that I can out run him better.
"Hah do you think that this trick of yours will stop me? It seems the only way you know how to use your weapon is while mine needs reloading, that is not how a true warriors fights, but what does it matter for I will not fall for that again, and your defeat is inevitable." Honda speaks in disgust.
"A man who's ever so gorgeous to look at, who fights dirty? Interesting, well you're still going to be mine though." Okuni adds with her lame flirtation.
Hah do they even know what I'm trying to do to them, as I manage to fire bullet after bullet at him, but although I am successful in this, and I begin running again, I do feel as though it's not going to work, and that my body full of wounds with blood coming out, is just too tired from running, and in far too much pain to carry on, as well as from not yelling in pain, and I worry that I could still find myself having to outrun his bullets, and yet I might not be lucky enough to survive his bullets this time.
The problem is though what choice do I have, other than to hope that I will survive again, or even better I can out run him, and then take sniping shots at his legs once again, but while I know that crippling him is the best strategy forward even if it's not easy ensuring that I do so, there is the matter of ensuring that I can ambush Okuni successfully, as well as finishing off the armoured warrior for good.
I then realise that I need the bow and arrow which I remember I was forced to leave behind due to having to deal with the trio, and that the bow would be in Ina's hands while the arrows are scattered about, I just only hope that neither Tadakatsu or his female dancer ally have picked them up for it will be a nightmare, but my gut tells me it's not the case, and Uni has just confirmed that for me.
Yes with the explosive arrows I'll be able to shoot them away, but the problem is that I have been running away from that position, and so I'll need to run in a circle and then get them as quickly as possible even if my body will hate it, though I remember how difficult it will be when the bow and arrow requires such close range, well within range of their own deadly weapons.
Yes it may not be easy, but with the bow and arrow, just one shot while Okuni's back is turned and then there is the chance of her losing her shield as she is thrown into the air, while for the armoured warrior I can perhaps fire arrow after arrow at him while he has to reload and with enough arrows, I can take him down. Come on it can't be for much longer surely, at least I like to think I've slowed the male opponent down, even if it is by a small amount.
The thing is I find that with me heading there, they've realised that I'm heading for the bow and arrows that once belonged to Ina, and so the female dancer has decided to head over to them, while Tadakatsu tries to deal with me, this is not good, because I know that she will get them first, especially since she has decided to drop her shield in favour of getting them quickly and I have no chance in my condition to get them now, hmmm now how am I going to take those two out, being as how they'll have the very weapon I need?
Even though for a short while the pair will be separate, it's not long enough simply for the fact that my male opponent is simply too well armoured, and I do not have enough bullets to get him, not that it matters because it takes far too long for me to have a window of opportunity for me to even wound him, I must not panic maybe I could wound him enough, such that I can get away from him, and while Okuni will find me, I can ambush her and take her bow off of her, and then use it on him.
Yes even if they think they've outsmarted my plans, I still have a backup plan. I decide to forget going for the bow and arrow, and allow the pathetic dancer to go for it instead, and focus on the task at hand, that is to wound the armoured foe significantly, while avoid being shot which I find I'm having to do repeatedly, which is ever so hard as my body is in immense agony and full of blood pouring out from all the wounds, and I wish to yell in pain even though I don't, and I worry that I'll be forced to simply hide and stop let alone slowing down, far too soon, as my body demands that I try and get my breath, as I find bullets whizzing past while I'm trying to find somewhere to hide, which is getting increasingly difficult even if I've somehow manage to run away from him such that I'm just out of range.
"I like to think you're getting tired of running, just as I'm getting tired of chasing you, it is tragic that that is all you can do as my opponent, just run away and postpone the inevitable defeat." Honda says to me sounding quite irritated.
It is the moment of truth again, will I be able to last long enough before I have a chance to wound him like last time, and hopefully this time it'll be significant enough such that he'll be significantly slower than before? I'll have to see, I've been lucky so far but I'm concerned that it will only be a matter of time before I run out of luck and will fall, fall at the last hurdle, which will be awful when I'm so close to victory.
It's just it's such a real struggle to survive while I'm running and running, even though the overwhelming pain of mine overrules the perk a colas with regards my speed and stamina, and it's a constant never ending worry that I'll be forced to hide again, but can I survive like last time though, that's the big issue and it's only a matter of time before I get hit as bullets keep whizzing by me.
Ah, I sigh as once again my aching blood covered body just cannot go on and I find myself hiding like before, well he has fired some bullets, but my gut tells me he has plenty more before needing to reload. This is just not sustainable hitting and running him, and what also concerns me is that will Okuni come back with the bow and arrow and assist her male ally, or does she intend to fight Lastation with it, and cause as much destruction as she possibly can?
I really, really, really hope she doesn't do the latter because there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop her, not even if somehow I could kill Tadakatsu right now, hmmm I was worried about Ina getting away, and now there is the potential for that stupid female dancer to get away, no I cannot think like that, it's not over until it's over, I must carry on and continue to fight the good fight against them.
I realise though that if I could at least crawl then maybe it'll be better for my body rather than running, and I like to think that it will take a bit of time before my pursuer realises that I've hidden once again, though speaking of which:
"Hmph so you've resorted to the same trick of hiding again, while I waste my ammunition? I will not be fooled twice in a row, and your defeat is inevitable, so stop postponing it and wasting mine and your time." Honda says to me getting increasingly annoyed.
Well at least frustration and anger can lead to carelessness, then again I'd be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated at all during this, though once again I find that my enemy is firing his gun in a trying attempt to track me, and yet he still has plenty of ammunition while I'm waiting for the right moment to then run again through the trees, and hope that it won't be long before he runs out of ammunition, so I won't have to run for long or better still worry about finding the right moment to run while hiding.
"Just to let you know Black, Okuni is only after picking up the bow with the intention of finishing you off, she's heading over to where you are now, she'll be pretty quick without her shield." The Lastation CPU Candidate informs me via mind talk only for me to thank her with the same method.
Well at least I can relax once again knowing full well that the dreaded female has no interest in invading Lastation until I've been defeated, but there is the matter of having to face those 2 simultaneously, which will only be a matter of time, though that is if I can survive the shots, which I worry I won't because of how they're getting close, and I don't feel the bullets are getting close to zero even if they are dropping.
It is then I find that they are too close, and so I find myself having to run again, even if it is for just a short while, hopefully that will be all that's needed before I will be able to strike him, I look forward to being able to return fire against him, even it'll probably be one clip which will merely chip away at his health, and in fact I wouldn't be surprised at all if by that point Okuni will return and then it will be a deadly 2 on 1 fight, with them having a weapon that will be even more deadly against me.
I run through the trees trying so hard to avoid getting shot, even though my body which is full of so many wounds is close to breaking point because of all the terrible pain I have which is reminding me every single second, which I try so hard to conceal, but then I can no longer hear bullets from his gun, and so I then do what I did last time which is to shoot at his legs, so that it will slow him down, though I'm not counting on him being significantly slower than before if I'm honest, but even with that and the potential for the female dancer to arrive, I still cannot give in, and I will not give in.
"You won't be able to continue to do that trick for long, I know you're tiring out, and I know that your defeat is inevitable, you know you can't keep this up forever, so it's in your best interest to give up now, and I'll put an end to your misery with my machine gun." Honda speaks in a tone which suggests he's warning me.
"Tadakatsu, if you can pick up my shield and equip your weapon on it, he won't be able to get you, it's not that far away come on, I'll have a go at finishing him off or at least keep him on his toes, he'll be no match for me, in fact I'm confident that he'll join us, after accepting my offer of being his date." Okuni calls out to him.
This is interesting rather than trying to finish me off together, they've decided to go with what this pathetic female dancer has suggested, I feel this is a tactical error on their part but then again, I wonder if they feel that I'll have wounded Honda far too much for him to be able to travel quickly, and perhaps they feel I'll be able to outrun him enough such that it's just me and Okuni, and instead if he was to have a shield, then me shooting at him will be a real challenge since I'm ever so slow, he might even attempt to invade Lastation even with his slow speed.
I'll need to deal with the female boss as quickly as possible, but it won't be easy, with a bow and arrow in hand, and her fast speed, and even an arrow impacting me could kill me, with my health being so low and being full of pain and exhaustion, which I just can't stop thinking about because it's that severe, and it's being going on for chapters.
Well this is it, at least if I can defeat Okuni, I could use the bow and arrow to defeat Tadakatsu, that is if I have enough arrows which I worry the female dancer will use against me, no, I will defeat her, I will think of a strategy to take her down, even if my health is low, even if my speed is low, and even if my will to fight because of all the pain I have is low.
All I have got going right now is the fact that the armoured enemy is rushing away as fast as he can, though the armour and the injury even if it doesn't seem to hurt him very much, means it's not particularly fast, and the fact that the female dancer is some distance away, but how long will that last? I just have to shoot at her as many times as I can and hope that I can wound her and hinder her in being able to fight me, it's all I have, and I'll just have to think of a new strategy when using my superior range to bleed her will inevitably become out of the question.
"I'm back and I've come to ensure I get what I want which I always do, and that is you going out with me, joining us and enjoying a dance, you're ever so gorgeous and I will make good use of that fact, I like people who are gorgeous, people like yourself you know." The dumb dancer taunts to me with a bow and arrow in hand.
You can dance all you like Okuni, but you'll be murdered on the dance floor, and I shoot at her as many times as I can, as if to tell her that, this upsets her but she's still calm and still charges towards me. Just as I suspected though, although I've managed to fire a clip from my sniper rifle, it is not enough and now she is able to hit me with her arrow, in fact I can hear it beeping and so I'm forced to take cover by a tree, and it is then that I have to do what I've been dreading and that is to run through the trees as fast as I can despite my tormented body aching like mad, while avoid getting shot, as she fires arrow after arrow in an attempt to hit me, which causes trees to topple over one another as they thunder and collide.
Tragically though, though I expected this, I am simply too tired, and so I'm forced to find a good place to hide, and then do so while going prone as best as I can while she continues to fire arrows, it'll only be a matter of time before she'll realise that I'm not running or even that she won't be able to knock any more trees from where she is. Well it's good to know that those trees can be repaired but it doesn't stop the fact that I'm ever so concerned that Okuni has me in a position where she can easily kill me, but what to do, what to do?
Do I wait and hope that she walks past so that I can ambush her, in which case she might not, and just stand there and buy time, for her ally, or do I attack now, even though it's extremely risky and she could shoot me, and it would be very difficult for me to dodge when I'm in such a bad shape? There isn't really much else I could do, there is retreating but the trees are just too far away, and my slow speed will not be able to avoid that dreaded dancer's arrows, who while I should be pleased she doesn't have as much now after all that firing, she still has some and I really would have liked to have used them on Tadakatsu who I worry has made good distance by now.
Maybe I'll have to respond to what she does, and perhaps even if it won't be easy, I could crawl backwards around the trees behind me, and do so until I can rush through the trees, but will I have the energy for it though, hmmm, I doubt it, I doubt I'd have the means to do it with all that pain that doesn't diminish and wish to make me scream even when I'm stationery. If I could just somehow indirectly convince Okuni that she's better off with her machine pistol, then I'll have a much better chance because I could just hide while she fires and then shoot her while she has to reload, but how to convince her? I'll need to show her that the bow and arrow isn't working as much as she had hoped, but how do I do so? Hmmmm.
"Come out, come out wherever you are, don't be shy you don't need to be shy, you won't be able to see me dance and have fun, come out and surrender, and you won't regret it you sweet thing." The dreadful dancer taunts, in a pathetic attempt at getting me to come to her.
Like I'm coming to you Okuni, if you want me come and get me, you do want me don't you, you do desire my attention and for me to be impressed, by your dances, for me to be mesmerised don't you, or are you all mouth? Come on put your moves where your mouth is, let's finish this.
This I'd like to say to her but that would be giving my position away, I'd also like to cock my gun to the situation to show determination to get her, but again that would give my position away. Well keeping silent will be worth it, because when she walks past I can trip her up and then mow her down, hopefully she won't be able to get me if I can get her pinned, and while there is a chance she could be, I like to think that from what I know she only knows dancing and fighting with weapons but no knowledge in martial arts.
It would be so awesome if I can defeat her this way, then it's just finishing off Honda for good for I much am too exhausted even now, and I worry that I could fall at any moment from the fatigue and the pain which is ever so difficult to conceal via not screaming in agony. I don't think I could be doing with all this running and resting and hoping that I can survive just so I can get a chunk of their health away. That's not efficient, and it would be nice if I get Okuni in just a matter of seconds, it's such a nice contrast, a breakthrough which I need so I can keep going.
I'll have to wait for it to happen though but this is waiting for something more rewarding, now if she can just go to where I am, and not notice me, then I like to think that if all goes to plan, she will fall to me, though it's still frustrating how it relies on so many things to be right like where she'll walk, where she'll be facing, whether she'll walk all the way etc., but then again plans like this happen to be like that, but I've been successful before, and have lasted this long, I do not intend to give up now or fail, though if this plan does not work, then I will have to try something else, but what else I do not know.
While I switch to my AUG because then I can use the Barrett later on against Honda's whose armour the gun can penetrate, she then walks down a row of stumps with her arrow in the bow ready to fire, her footsteps I can hear as she looks around, and yes the row she's walking on is just next to me, and so when she walks past, I can just knock her down, this is brilliant, wonderful because if she picked any row other than one close to me, I wouldn't be able to ambush her, unless I was able to sneak towards where she's heading, or even sneak to the trees undetected, which would have been tricky to say the least.
Now it's just waiting and seeing if she happens to walk past the tree I am as well as not noticing me. I ready myself as quietly as I can while listening to her approaching me and rehearse in my mind exactly how I am going to ambush her, and ensure that she cannot respond over and over again: I just need to trip her with the hand, get up and pin her, and then shoot her down. I like to think that she won't be able to respond to that, I just need to watch out for her that is all.
The tragic thing is though, is that I'm finding this to be taking way too long, it's as if she knows I'm there and is taunting me with that knowledge, and wishes for me to tire out in frustration and then finish me off, though I like to think not and it's just the dancer suspecting an ambush even though she doesn't know where. Hmmm I'll just have to wait but even though I have no choice, I have no time for it because Honda is getting away, and with each second that passes, is a slight increase in chance that he'll be at Lastation, and no doubt he'll have the shield with the gun attached, making taking him down even more difficult.
I sigh at this situation, come on Okuni, don't you want to find me, are you scared of me is that what it is? Come on come over here so I can defeat you once and for all, and it is then that she does come even if it's relatively slow, as she's looking to the left and then to the right as she heads closer and closer to me, looking for me, as she knows I'm somewhere. I'll have to see where she turns when she reaches my position, because whether she'll be facing me or away from me when she reaches me will make all the difference, between whether I survive, or die.
If only I could work out from her walking and her turning as to whether she'll face me, but then again I'm assuming she'll carry on with her pattern with regards where she's facing as she moves forward slowly but surely.
"I know you're here somewhere gorgeous, you can't hide forever, it's not good to keep a lady waiting, especially when she has something special in mind when you choose to be together with me, come on my patience is wearing very, very thin." Okuni taunts.
What? Force me to go out with you and watch your stupid dancing? And if you truly want a date with me, why are you attacking me and not stopping Honda from shooting at me? I think you want to do worse than what you're suggesting, considering your affiliations, and their intentions to my nation. How dare you carry on with this stupid nonsense, repeatedly trying to force me to date someone like yourself! No, I better calm myself down or I will surely lose, just need to be patient and make her pay for her nonsense, I'm just pleased I've not yelled in response or even whispered, because that would have certainly have been bad, to let her get the better of me.
It is now that she's quite close, and I'm ready to strike her, this is getting really tense now with regards her looking around to the left and to the right, and her footsteps telling me she's getting closer, It is then I see her left foot next to me, and that is all I need to know that I need to strike now, which is what I do: and with my left hand I grab her leg and then swing it so that she falls on her front, and before she can do anything else I then crawl on her back as quickly as I can, and shoot bullet after bullet at her from my AUG, while grabbing her machine pistol, and throwing it behind me before quickly grabbing the arrows and throwing them behind me as well.
Yes, yes, yes and she's yelling in frustration, alrighty she's disarmed and her death is inevitable, all she can do now is scream, as shot after shot is fired into her, and her body begins to have numerous holes with her blood gushing out, but I doubt that Tadakatsu will come to her aid, because he's way too far away from where we are.
"You know this isn't what I had in mind, ow, let me go, this is no fair, I didn't even want to fight you anyway, merely dance with you. Argh!" The pathetic dancer screams in frustration as she suffers in agonising pain.
"Really? It didn't look that way from where I was, assisting Honda in taking me down, you're pathetic Okuni, forcing men to date you against their own free will, that I find despicable, and what's even more despicable is you fighting on Team Rocket's side with the intent of destroying Lastation ,so that the world will only know tyranny and suffering for eternity, no doubt so that they will have no choice but to date you if you demand it!
I wonder if you do this is because all the men you've asked previously have found that you have no good qualities to offer for a date, like compassion, hard work or intelligence, maybe that's why you wish to do what you're doing so that all the good women will be gone and they'll be no more competition for you, how pathetic, instead of eliminating competition why don't you compete?
Since you keep offering me to join you, why don't I return the favour? Why not join my side, and if you was to offer more than just dancing, then perhaps you'll have men who are willing to go out with you, what to do you say, and in return I'll get off your back." I offer her while speaking angrily some of the time due to how I dislike her, even though I have a feeling that she'll refuse my offer.
"Ow, like I'll serve a man like you. If you get off my back I'll spare you from an experience you won't forget." The fallen female says, as she screams in pain, and her body language shows her pain as well, as I fire my gun at her.
Somehow I doubt that she'll spare me from something unpleasant, oh well maybe it's for the best, I've never liked her anyway, and the fact that she thinks that she can harm me from where we are, just proves how pathetic she is. She has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and is just an annoying arrogant so and so who thinks she can date anyone whether they like it or not, whereas people like Guo Jia is considered a vile person for asking if someone would like to have a drink with them, what double standards, I've never liked that.
"A man who cares about the world, and its people, who yearns for there to be peace and prosperity? It's too bad you don't want to fight for someone like me, oh well it's a pity that there are those like you who refuse to redeem themselves, when given the chance." I reply to her casually with a hint of disappointment, as I then fire bullet after bullet.
"Ow, Argh!, very well I'll serve you anything to stop the agonising pain that I'm in, please I'll help you fight Honda, just stop shooting at me and get off me, I beg of you please. I'm so sorry about earlier, I won't cause you any harm, I promise." Okuni then begs for mercy, as her pain increases, and more and more of her blood comes gushing out, as I shoot at her.
Hmmm this is interesting, Okuni offering to join me, but then again I wonder whether it's a genuine defect, or is it just a ruse so that I can get off her, and she can then kill me, I have a feeling it's the latter though I do feel I should at least give her a chance to redeem herself and improve as a person, but I cannot take any chances whatsoever.
"I tell you what, if you throw away your bow, then you can join me." I say to her sounding quite smug.
"But how am I supposed to help you fight Honda without a bow?" She protests to me, dreading the thought of being unarmed even if it means that I am off her back.
"Well you can distract him, dance, dance like you mean it for him, and then I will deal with him while he's distracted, you don't need a weapon to help me defeat him, now throw it to the side and I will get up, then you can get up afterwards but do so slowly." I answer to her with the same tone.
I reload my gun as its ran out of bullets, and then when I see Okuni throw the bow to the side like I've asked her to, I slowly get up afterwards, having increasing suspicions that this is a ruse so that I am no longer pinning her, and she'll then try and take me down, when she's back up on her feet, I cannot let her do that because although I'm guarding her pistol and her ammunition for her bow, she could still strike me down and then kill me. I just hope I can mow her down with one clip if she does anything bad, at least her health is pretty low at this point, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, and her low health should make her moving quickly difficult, but even with that I'm still concerned that she could over power me.
As a precaution I am standing next to her with my gun pointed towards her, and my finger next to the trigger, ready to fire at the appropriate moment, as she begins to slowly get up to the point where she's on her knees, and her hands are touching the floor, hmmm will she try and do something, come on I know you want to attack me, I'm curious to know how you're going to get me, let's see you try and take me down.
In fact just as I suspected, she tries to attack me, and her method is an attempting kick from where she is in hopes of tripping me over, so she can pin me, but I noticed this and so luckily I managed to step away while shooting at her, only to continue walking away as I shoot her, causing her to scream in even more pain, as she then tries to get up as quickly as possible, which due to her pain is not very quick at all.
"OWWW!, curse you, you'll pay for that, if it's the last thing I do." The pathetic dancer screams in frustration and in pain, as I've shot her.
"You only have yourself to blame, I knew you didn't really want to join me, and you just wanted to do anything to get me off your back, and I expected you to try something like that. Well it hasn't worked one bit and instead of having a chance in surviving by distracting Honda, you'll have no chance of survival at all, looks like you've had your last dance." I say to her, my tone emphasising how unimpressed I am with her.
Alarmingly, despite being shot at loads and loads of times, she manages to get up and worse still is that I need to reload which I'm worried I don't have enough time for, nuts I should have just killed her, and not given her the chance to redeem herself, it was rather unlikely that she would have reformed, I knew it, I just knew it, though I did that to prove it, rather than have Okuni gloat that I didn't give her a chance despite my claims of caring about people.
With that said, I can only hope that I do not pay for this mistake with my life, I had her, I could have ended it there and then, but then I realise that I have the sniper rifle and so as she rushes towards me, I equip it and then shoot her, only to find that after firing two shots, she's already grabbing hold of the rifle, but I manage to fire once again, and it's that shot that causes her to clutch her stomach and then collapse as she's yelling in such agony, as blood is pouring out all over where I've shot her.
The pain is too much, just as the shots are too much for Okuni as she screams in pain, while falling on her back dying, yelling in anger about how I've outsmarted her and defeated her, and she's failed to defeat me when she had the chance. I'm so pleased that the mistake of mine didn't cost me my life or the lives of Lastation, and I'm pleased to have finally defeated that annoying dancer, and to have finally defeated her in relatively little time, as well as in a manner of humiliation with regards her failing to get me just, and it's all thanks to me being able to ambush her, as well as exploiting her own mistake of ditching her shield in exchange for the bow and arrow, which I equip myself with.
Now it's just myself still at the lowest health without dying and covered in blood and wounds, what feels like the most pain I can have without passing out, in which I refuse to yell, as well as only being able to travel at the slowest speed without being immobile, against Tadakatsu who while wounded still has plenty of health left, and as I think is heading for Lastation after picking up the shield that belonged to Okuni. Even worse though is that I feel as though I could collapse at any minute even though for a little while I haven't done any running, I guess it's because of all the aches and pains and having to run, as well as think, and there was the repeated concerns of me falling and suppressing my pain.
I worry about this, me falling at any minute because how long will I be gone for? Probably too long for this, and yet how do I defeat him when he's wearing armour and he has that deadly shield and machine gun, at least I have the Barrett 50 Cal, and bow and arrow to help me but the sniper has limited bullets, and the bow and arrow will be quite risky due to how it has a short range. I can only hope that I can get him quickly, and he won't be able to fire a single shot at me, as the arrows will send him in the air from the explosion, but will I have enough arrows for him? Hmmm I fear I won't.
Still, I can only do my best as I ask Uni for where Honda is, hoping that he's not too far away only to find that despite his wounds and armour, he has managed to run for quite a bit, and it will not be long at all before he reaches Lastation, whereas for me, it will take a while from where I am. It looks bleak because I'm far too exhausted to run and I worry that if I run as fast as I can, I'll end up collapsing from exhaustion, and yet if I rest, then our glorious nation will fall for sure. I have to run, even if my body doesn't wish for it, and I have to hope that even if he's close, he'll turn and fight me like the warrior he claims to be.
I can't just give in though, for this will power and strength and strategy of mine is what has kept me going, and has enabled me to defeat all of these bosses including Okuni, and somehow like before I'll find a way to stop him, I've just got to, I cannot accept defeat for an answer, none of us can, it'll be far too close, and far too frustrating to say the very least if it was to happen, I cannot bear thinking about the consequences if Honda was to successfully invade Lastation.
With this in mind, I then run, running as fast as I can making my body ache in such pain because it doesn't want me to, but I have to do it, and I know it could be one run too many, or it even last for far too long for my body, it's pain and exhaustion which is far too difficult for me to ignore but ignore it I must, though at least I can yell in pain for now as Honda is too far away to hear. The thing is this running could be all for nothing, and it all depends on how fast I can get there, and how much longer I have even with me running as fast as I can, before I end up collapsing from my body not being able to take it any more, as well as how much further does Honda have to go.
I just hope I can at least make it, and somehow manage to get him to fight me, because then at least I will have a slight chance, just a slight one to snatch victory from what appears to be the jaws of inevitable defeat, due to the situation with regards our position and our health, not to mention the pain we're in and the speed at which we can travel.
I will not give up though, I will never ever give up, and I do this not just for myself, not just for my friends and family who I love and admire, and yearn for their success, or even just for our nation which is the most prosperous and brings hope, but for the fate of the world, that is why we fight because we yearn for the people to know prosperity and not suffering, the world will get better, and I care not for how long it takes. Come on Honda if you're truly a warrior you will face me, and if you want to destroy Lastation through invading it and forcing a war on two fronts, then you'll have to get through me, as long as I have a bit of health, a bit of energy, and some ammunition in my weapons to fight you.
Interestingly enough, just like last time, Uni informs me something, no doubt it's about the armoured warrior, and this will determine whether there's any chance at all of me stopping him from reaching Lastation.
