Serious: The Dire Desperados Ch2 - Desperate Battle for the Desperados, the First Rivals Emerge (Closed)

Megumi stopped as Dontae asked this question. She never said it before, but she was very proud and loved her students very much. She then said "Strongest? there is no such thing.... in terms of power...... i am the best... in terms of speed, Killua is the best, in terms of techniques, Ken is the best, and Kou tries hard, but is not up to that level yet........."

Tzun Ren barely dodged but nonetheless he dodged the heavily powered and sucesfully counter attacked by slashing down the Utakata stabbing it into the ground and sidestepping to the right of Naito.
The young swordsman was open for an attack but he had one advantage he had to use.

The Reverse grip unlike the usual grip might be not able to push away swords easily as the usual grip but it makes it much easier in trapped situation to pull it off the opponent's weapon.
Naito frowned and grinded teeth as he jumped to the right towards Tzun Ren at point blank range.
The jump was enough to pull the sword from the ground and from the touche Tzun Ren's sword had while Naito was going straight at Tzun's open chest with his arm.

It was a point blank range surprising and reckless attack but still the range made this attack barely avoidable and even Naito himself wouldn't be able to react fast enough. The surprise of this attack also increased the reaction time of the opponent.
"Move it!" He yelled out.

Dontae uses soru and appears in the air above Magumi head he then delivers a kick strong enough to break stone..

Tzun Ren then saw the slice coming and then jumped back again immediately ran up the building behind him. He stood on the roof adjusting his sword looking down. This had gone on for long enough. "Young one, this is my final attack....... i think you too are beggining to feel tired right? So lets end it.... " He gets on to one knee and squats foward. Dragging his sword along the ground. He gains speed and momentum by running at high speed off the side of the building dragging his sword along with him. He dashed foward and shouted "WU SHU STYLE!!!! GOLDEN DRAGON SOARS!!!!!!!" around him was the aura of a dragon flying towards Naito at full speed, when in actuality it was Tzun Ren continously slicing at high speed.


Megumi then said "Dont be stupid boy!! INVADE LIKE FIRE!!!!" She used a kick of her own to counter a kick by Dontae causing a miny shockwave in the middle, she landed back on her feet.

Naito slowly stood up back on his feet his stance totally destroyed as he held the sword in it's usual grip and when Tzun Ren began speaking Naito gained the strength back thanks to his will to raise his sword again while he panted hardly and finally looked at the master swordsman.

"Let's do this..." He said as he went back to Kyuu Dageki for his final attack. Finally he had to use this technique, it's been a long time since he last used it. It was the master technique of deception, the core of this sword style.
Naito charged at the same time the master swordsman charged for the final clash.
His sword emitted orange waves because of the speed and it looked like it was on fire.

As they finally reached at point blank range Naito slashed towards the sword of Tzun Ren but in a feint attack.
"Kyuu Dageki"He whispered as he slashed he knew that Tzun would be deceived because he would expect to clash with the sword but instead in the middle of the slash Naito had dropped his sword in the air and had lowered his body evading any threat from Tzun Ren's attack as he grabbed with a reverse grip with his left hand and quickly slash with it from below to above. The hit would deal a great deal of damage to the master swordsman.
"Usosatsu"


{{OOC: It's going to cool if I ended this with this technique}}

Kyuu Dageki Usosatsu ( Murderous Lie )
Description: Nait would slash towards the enemy in point blank range and as the enemy possibly dodges,blocks evades or whatever he would reveal that the slash was a feint only used to toss the sword towards the other hand where possibly it is in a place where the enemy is open so the other hand can strike.
Basically he makes an opening and slashes.

As the dust settled and the two men stood opposite each other after the attacks, Tzun Ren then looked away and asked "What is you name young one? Your full name?"

Both duelists stood facing their backs and panting hard. Naito was really battered up from this fight and it's been so long since he was in a such intense and equal fight.
Like a swordsman he possesed honor. Naito sheated his sword back in his bleach sheath that was on his back and spoke.

"Tzun Ren, I will remember your name." He barely spoke as he panted while his hair was all messed up. "My name is...Naito Meru."
With that he continued standing there while his thoughts were empty, he knew something happened in that clash but it was so fast that he did not know if he had connected or Tzun had connected.
It was a matter of time that someone would fall down on the ground and the one standing would be proclaimed victorious.

Tzun Ren then smiled as blood gushed out from a cut straight on hi chest. He then said "Then listen well Naito Meru....... you have slayed a dragon...... this was no small feat.... you are undoubtly the strongest in battle.... SO NEVER GIVE UP YOUR AMBITION AND DREAMS!!! CARRY THE TITLE OF DRAGONSLAYER ON YOUR BACK!!!!!!! I will now retire, i am glad for the final battle of my career, i saw the future.... in you........" Tzun Ren fell to his knees stabbed his sword into the earth. He refused to lay down like some weakling. Instead right there on his knees , Tzun Ren passed out, and thus ended the legend of the yellow dragon. The badge rolled out of his pocket on to the floor.

Naito could feel the warmth of the smile that Tzun Ren made at his dying statement on his back.
He spoke about dreams and ambitions and Naito not only listened to his words but he was living by those words.
A quick flashback of Oyabun's final statement before departing was the same.
The young swordsman smiled as he faced the dead body. He wanted a similiar death, a honorfull one but that was only he had achieved his great dream.
After this island's adventure was finished Naito would be known not only here as the Dragon Slayer but all around the seas.

He took the badge and put it in his pocket and sheathed Tzun's sword that was on Tzen's hip and picked up his body on his shoulder.
Pure determination was holding Naito standing and walking.
The Dragon Slayer ventured forth towards where the flying hedgehog honorless guy was.

Naito arrived at the laying down Dynar and slowly laid down the master swordsman on the ground next to Dynar.
"You have two choices. By any means heal this guy's wounds up or die by my sword." He said with a cold tone and a murderous intent in his eyes.
Naito Meru the Dragon Slayer was serious and had no intention to waste his time here with this guy.
He still did not show the badge to this guy as he decided to keep it to himself for now.

Dynar sighed. Had this person no sense of priorities? He realized what was going on here. This person was angry because he thought it was his fight now. He was angry because Dynar had broken the code of swordsmen, but most people didn't take it this far. Most people didn't hold other people to their arbitrary honor system.
Dynar wasn't going to quarrel about it however. He ignored the threat. He knew that he would need to get his own wounds fixed as well, and he needed to get the badge. And he wasn't going to go against this guy. His clothes were a bloody mess. He took out a few bandages, and sat down, wrapping some of it around the gash he had gotten. "I'll deal with him next." Dynar said as he had stalled his own bleeding. He bandaged his own hands wholly and walked to Tzun Ren. He wasn't going to let infection kill a patient. He would need to get more advanced care later, but now he was going to bandage his former opponent.

Naito barely stood on his fight but he continued watching carefully the movements of the one infront of him who turned out to be a doctor. Naito Meru disliked doctors for some reason.
The Dragon Slayer was ready for any swift movements by the worn out doctor and was ready to do a quick draw slice in case the one infront of him thought of something stupid.

But for now all was going well as Dynar bandaged himself and afterwards took care of Tzun Ren. After the doctor finished Naito spoke.
"I believe something you need is with me..."
He took out of his pocket the badge and showed it to the doctor for a moment.
"But before I give it to you I need to now what's going on..."

Dynar sat down on the ground, and pieced together an explanation. "I am in the pirate crew, Dire Desperados. Our ship, and my frog were taken by the rulers of this island. And the chief of them all issued us a challenge to defeat the four governing powers and the three stars of xinshi on this island, taking their badges as proof. I was fighting a losing battle against one of them until you showed up."

Dontae lands on his feet, he then jumps back a few feet away from her he then shoots two bullets on the ground in front of Megumi and a small gas leaked out from them, Dontae was smiling and waited for Megumi to respond......

The word pirate crew made shocked Naito as his eyes grew wider while his anger became lesser. This could be the missing part of his dream, a pirate crew he always wanted to join one and sail the Grand Line and reach it's end.
It was a chance Naito must not miss.

He flicked the badge at Dynar's hand and then spoke as he grabbed Tzun Ren and put him on his shoulder again.
"We have to bring this guy to the local hospital then you will take me to your captain." Naito said waiting for Dynar to lead the way. What the doctor said loaded Naito with fresh powers to fight.

valawxedits woke up going to the top deck he saw the the big fight at ended. thinking that no one owned this ship he tries to remove the anchor just to find it is to heavy for him so he thing what would make this job easier. haveing a light bulb pracatally appear above his he use his wrist blades and wrentches on to the winch and starts wrotating the blades to find the anchor slowly buy surly moving of the harbour bed and lock it in postion out of the sea.

Megumi knew the bullet was coming but did not react, the explosion from the bullets caused Megumi to fly back and lay on the ground, she then said "Oh it seems that you beat me..... aw that sucks.... looks like i have nooo choice but to give the badge to you......." It was Megumi's plan all along to lose and give the badge, but she needed to actually lose first and cause the boy injury, for the people from Wu Shang who were watching this fight closely.

Wu Shang dojo, one of the wu shang disciples ran across and bowed to Fei while in a panic "MISTRESS FEI SAMA!!!!! TZUN REN AND MEGUMI SCHROEDER HAVE FALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fei did not act shocked on the outside, but she certainly did wonder. Lee and Feng had shocked looks on their face, which degraded. all this meant was 2 stars down, 1 to go

Jace allowed a smirk to appear on his face when he heard shout. "Hear that, captain?" he said not turning to face the woman next to him. "Sounds like our guys are doing well. Just one left."

Dontae walks over and picks the badge up and puts it in his pocket, he then picks up his hat and jacket and put them back on and looked over at Megumi " hmmm, Thank You" Dontae bows towards Magumi he knew a weak attack couldn't make Magumi lose he knew what happened and didn't say anything else, threw this fighting he learned a few other ways to defend himself he then lights a cigarette and heads back towards his Captain and Killua...

Killua did not smile, partially because he was concerned about his sensei and partially because he knew the battle was no where near over. He felt something strange about the air in the dojo since he had entered, which was the reason he wanted to stay here. The three people on the stage looked strong, really strong, especially the girl and the guy in the chinese cloths on the right. He looked especially dangerous for some reason.

Stevie came out to tend to his wife "Looks like your motherly instincts never left huh, Megumi chan........" Megumi was crying "I just cant leave that brat alone...... damn........."

Grabbing the badge, Dynar decided to follow the man's wishes. He wasn't in a very good shape now. He took a look at Naito for a second. "You are seriously wounded." He said, regarding the bleeding wounds Naito had gotten from the swordfight. "You should rest for now. I can bandage your wounds, but not much else until I get back to the ship." They were all wounded, but Naito was still losing blood.

letting the boat sail for a few hundred meters lowered the anchor by letting it just fall into the sea bed before looking for a few tools since his frigate had driffed off the with his basic tools. so he went to the storage rooms to fetch a few tools. then he set to work taking some of the wood and one of the cannons. slowly melting the cannons into sheet metal by burning it with his flame breath after melting the cannon. valawxedit starts carving the wood into support rods

Naito stood for a moment in one place then simply said:
"No time for resting, you will bandage me as soon as we reach that hospital and I hand them this swordsman." He nodded to the unconscious body of Tzun Ren on his soldier.
The swordsman quickly rushed forward towards the hospital where he would hand over Tzun Ren and then fix his wounds up temporarily and then he would meet up with their captain.

Naito Meru's chance was right here and he wasn't going to lose it because of some blood losing, no way he is going to screw up the path that is open for him to achieve his dream.
He just had to continue until his bones turned to dust.

Dynar wasn't going to argue with him further. It was his life. He followed. He needed to watch it. Those wounds were serious. His were much lesser in scope. Still, he was the weaker one. He followed after Naito, he had seen the hospital at some point here...

Dontae was now walking back to where His captain was he only had one injury and it might be a broken rib or two. He held the badge in his hand as the people from the town watched him walk back threw with surprised looks on there faces they all thought Dontae defeated Megumi but Dontae knew that she let him win that fight and he was okay with it, he enter the building where he last left Avis and Killua and they still were standing in the same spot " You guys still standing here" Dontae says throwing the badge towards the women in the chair...

A few medics came out and took Tzun Ren and persisted on having Naito to come to but he refused and they entered back.
"Now give me that bandage and lead me to your captain." He ordered to the doctor Dynar.
Naito Meru's dream was the only thing keeping him standing and walking.
