Flashfight Run Kill Attack #3

(“YEEART!” Cysamurai dodges the kick with an elegant bridge! And activates the wheels that are installed in his palms, as well! Still in the bridge pose, he slides away, giving himself about three tatamis worth of distance! “Have you gone mad? No, that’s not it.” As he rotates while rising up, Cysamurai takes the fighting stance. “A possession, isn’t it! Alias=san, correct? Can’t put one’s guard against you.”)
(“That’s actually exactly what Gorgon=san did! All because he went all cocky without even knowing about my jitsu. Should’ve thought about the consequences.” Gorgon (Alias) assumes the karate stance. “You know, even if it’s someone this creepy, the bodies of male ninjas sure feel good… Old habits die hard!”)

“He who prematurely celebrates victory shall face defeat. So goes the kotowaza of Miyamoto Masashi. That is exactly what has led to Gorgon=san’s defeat. However, the same goes for you. Alias=san,” Cysamurai says with an emotionless electronic voice. Gorgon (Alias) laughs. “Okay then, how about we see if you’re right.”
The gap in skill between the two is crystal-clear. Cysamurai is strong. Alias is aware of that. It was just on the spur of the moment. His jitsu is not that versatile, it’s not like he can just touch and possess her opponent. It’s just that Gorgon was so excited, he didn’t bother maintaining the firewall of his neurons, so to say.
But what about Cysamurai here? Unfortunately, one can’t expect him to drop his guard so easily. “Bring it on! I still got some tricks up my sleeve, eh? How about getting turned to stone? Even if it’s someone covered in armor like you! Wanna check it out?” Gorgon (Alias) goes on and on. In fact, he himself is not sure if he can use the petrifying ability, either.
How much power can he muster from within the possessed body? There are many complex rules that he still doesn’t have a complete grasp of. Does the jitsu come from the dwelling ninja soul, or does it come from the karate? Or is it wazamae that is supposed to come from Alias’s own experience?
Basically, it’s a question of compatibility. And it’s not just about the jitsu, but about the physical skills and combat capability, as well. How is this body? Is it a hit or a miss?
“I am not the sort of a man who can be provoked so easily,” Cysamurai says coldly. As he does, he tinkers with the dial on his Cysamuraiken’s guard. “Cy-Sword Bash Mode,” sounds the synthetic voice. Cysamuraiken’s blade retracts, becoming a steel club of sorts. “Eh… Sword bash?” “YEEART!” The rollers spin into motion! He comes in for a swing!
“YEEART!” Gorgon (Alias) avoids the descending sword with a bridge dodge! He attempts to escape by rolling away, but Cysamurai changes his course with the amazingly fast control of his rollers. “YEEART!” The rolling Gorgon (Alias) is struck by the sword! “GWAAH!”
Gorgon (Alias) feels the pain pain from the hit to the flank! “YEEART!” And another mighty swing! “Y, YEEART!” Gorgon (Alias) dodges by crawling on the floor with lightning speed! Scary! (Dammit, that guy… Sword bash, he said? So he doesn’t want to kill me? Still, if he keeps hitting me like that, I might actually die…)
Rule 5… If the possessed body suffers great injuries, Alias is likely to suffer serious damage, as well, which might even affect Ignite’s neurons back at the home point! Sheeee, Cusamurai follows him with a loud sound. Gorgon (Alias) attempts to hide behind a server rack. However, Cysamurai is just as fast!
“YEEART!” He attempts to strike Gorgon (Alias) with a mortal Keri Kick, still accelerating! “YEEART!” Gorgon immediately leaps from the crawling position, fleeing behind the server rack further ahead. (This ninja’s body seriously creeps me out! But it did save me. I’m getting used to it.) Alias quietly lies in wait.
(Think… At the very least, he doesn’t feel like killing me. Too attached to his partner? No way. Business? That’s more like it… There is a reason why he wouldn’t want to kill Gorgon, ah, that’s it.) Alias is deep in thought. (It’s this guy’s jitsu… Petrification? Aah, remember! That’s right, I gotta figure out how his petrifying poison works!)
Alias puts his hands on his forehead, diving deeper into the chaos of Gorgon’s neurons! Alias’s consciousness sinks into the mud of of information stored in the body…!
Meanwhile, Cysamurai might have lost sight of Gorgon (Alias), yet he remains perfectly calm. He swiftly pushes a button on a UNIX controller affixed to the inner side of his right arm. Bibobabobabo. “Cyscouting system,” says a quiet synthetic voice. Konnnn! A sonar sound emanates from around Cysamurai’s body all around him.
The sonar sound delivers the information about the area directly into Cysamurai’s neurons. He then gets even more information from the infrared scan. He then gets even more information by emitting radio waves from the crescent-shaped antenna on his helmet and having it reflect off the ceiling. All of these operations are performed in just a few seconds. Cysamurai founds Gorgon (Alias) hiding under a distant rack all too soon!
Namusan! Alias is in the middle of a mind dive! Completely defenceless! Careless! “If this was a proper combat, I would have already killed you five times over.” Cysamurai takes a cyflashbang from his waist and throws it under the rack. FLAAAAASHH! The flash explodes from within! And a scream from under the rack! “GWAAH!?”
As Gorgon (Alias) rolls from under the rack, he quickly gets the tip of Cysamuraiken shoved into his stomach! “GWAAH!” Gorgon (Alias) is in convulsions! “Shit, yabai!” The convulsions get even stronger! And then he twitches one last time and stops moving. “…” Cysamurai touches Gorgon’s body with his foot and turns it over. No reaction.
He swiftly turns around and activates the cyroller system once again. Sheeee! He slides! High-speed dash with a drift through the passageway! And he enters the glass operator section! He quickly bashes Nancy, who has been sneakily operating the UNIX! “YEEART!” “NNAAA!”
As Nancy collapses to the floor, Cysamurai walks closer. Shukoopatan. Shukoopatan. The eerie breathing sound. “Nancy Lee. What were you trying to accomplish?” “Ugh…” Petrified Ninja Slayer, his hands bound behind the chair’s back, watches this desperate scene with hollow eyes. There are no options left!
Kyuiii, the seams of Cysamurai’s cyarmor start glowing orange. “Hacking, is it? It appears you were mere moments away from completing it.” Cysamurai throws a glance at the UNIX monitor. The map of the illegal proxy server facility is displayed on it. “Nancy Lee. Your schemes always occur in the shadow of Ninja Slayer’s slaughter.”
“You’re exaggerating,” Nancy forces a laugh. Cysamurai grabs Nancy by the neck and lifts her up. “I have no intention of letting Gorgon do whatever he wants with you. Worry not,” says Cysamurai. “Apparently, both you and Ninja Slayer have a deep connection to the Amakudari brat. I expect additional reward for presenting you to him.”
“I wonder about that,” says Nancy. “Is he really going to be so willing to give money to some complete stranger he only met once?” “That is up to Laomoto to decide.” Cysamurai drops Nancy to the floor and turns towards the UNIX. A color bar is shown on the monitor. “What?” Bgaaah! Bgaaah! Bgaaah! The lights intensely flash! “What?” “I made it.”
“It was a bluff. There’s no way I could do something like that in an instant.” Bgaaah! Bgaaah! Bgaaah! Nancy moves the corners of her mouth and smiles. “I hate to tell you this, but there are many things you can do when you have the former facility owner as an ally.” She waves with a floppy disc in her hands. “I have prepared it in advance. Just like with a physical key, it’s all done when I insert it.” Bgaaah! Bgaaah!
“Unu… This is,” Bibobabobibobobo, as the cyarmor blinks orange, it makes a strange noise. Bgaaah! Bgaaah! “If you don’t do something fast, the intel of the illegal proxy servers is going to leak outside, you know? The mappo might come. Are you fine with that?” “You are a fool for doing this. They will not let you go, either. Do you intend to risk your own life?”
“How far my bluff goes is up to you to figure out.” Nancy stands up and takes a step back. And then she points at the UNIX. “Care to give it a try?” “Do not mock me, Nancy Lee.” Cysamurai assumes a fighting stance with his Cysamuraiken. “I would not mind giving up the additional reward.” He unleashes the sword bash mode! “Oh my, behind you.” “YEEART!”
“Nu? GWAAH!” As Cysamurai turns around, he is hit in the head with a flying kick! He falls face-down! Focusing on the anti-hacking system operation has greatly diminished his ninja sixth sense! The one who kicked him is a petite punkish woman with rose tattoos instead of eyebrows! “It’s me! Sorry, but I’m pretty stubborn!”
As Cysamurai attempts to stand up, Nancy mercilessly shoots him with her gumshoe gun! “TAKE THIS!” BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! “GWAAH! GWAAH!” He might be a well-equipped ninja, but this is still quite a shock! “Keep him busy, please! Just a little bit more!”
How could he (…She?) …Alias manage to make their entry so quickly? Nancy has flung open the front door of the floor by UNIX. Alias left Gorgon’s body, returned to the body that’s been sleeping in the garden and realized everything from the urgent message sent by Nancy through Motor Chiisai. They penetrated the facility once more.
“Focus! Focused!” Motor Chiisai hovers over Ninja Slayer’s head. Alias puts both of their hands on his head. “Can you cure him?” Asks Nancy. “Leave it to me!” Petrifying poison… It wasn’t such a mysterious thing, after all. In the end, it’s just another jitsu. The paralysis poison just makes it harder for the target to resist the Fudoukanashibari Jitsu!

010001010110110100101

(“Nuuu…” The poison enters the body through the needle in the nape of the neck, quickly robbing Ninja Slayer of his freedom of movement. “Ufufuhofofofofo,” a bizarre ninja hangs down from the ceiling and lands with a wet sound, looking back at Ninja Slayer. “Why, you…”)
(“Carelessness is one’s greatest enemy. The winner has been decided.” Cysamurai takes a step back, maintaining his zanshin. Ninja Slayer twitches, but there is no strength in his movements. “Ufufufu.” As Gorgon laughs, he forcefully puts Ninja Slayer in a chair and ties his hands behind him as he keeps struggling. Gorgon’s eyes shine, and Ninja Slayer’s body freezes.)
(“Stooop! Stooop!” Alias cries behind the wire netting, as a large elevator slides upwards. Ninja Slayer is completely helpless now. The vision becomes blurry. “Dammit! Don’t you look down on me! You’re gonna regret this! Bastards!” The cries fade down below…)
010100010111=san! 0100010nja010111Slay0001001001000r=san! Wake up!” The vision! It’s clear! There’s Alias in front of him! It only takes a moment for him to understand his current situation! “Wasshoi!” He breaks the rope on his hands and jumps while swinging both arms up!
Truly terrifying Fudoukanashibari Jitsu, potent enough to turn the victim’s body to stone! Although it requires a paralysis poison to reach its full potential, it is still a powerful jitsu that can be compared to Basilisk’s Evil Eye he once fought. However, he has just been splendidly released from Kanashibari’s curse… With a jitsu capable of entering into his local kotodama space! Gouranga!
The gumshoe gun runs out of ammo! “YEEART!” “NNAAA!” Cysamurai throws a windmill kick while knocked down, then rises up as Nancy is blown away! He takes Cysamuraiken in a backhand grip and attempts to stab Nancy with it! “YEEART!” An interruption! Ninja Slayer’s flying kick! “GWAAH!”
Cysamurai is kicked out of the room, shattering tempered glass along the way. Ninja Slayer goes after him with impressive speed. Behind him, Nancy shakes her head and stands up. Alias lends her a shoulder. “Hey, shouldn’t we worry about that alarm…” “You mean that story about leaking the intel? That was a bluff,” Nancy smiles. “There was no time for me to prepare anything like that.”
“Eh? And the alarm?” “Yes, make some noise, flash some lights, that’s it.” “That’s it?” Alias frowns, then nods. “It’s all right in the end, isn’t it?” “It’s all right.”
“What a stubborn individual.” Cysamurai gets up with a quick backflip and prepares his Cysamuraiken. “The same goes for you, Cysamurai=san.” Ninja Slayer draws closer in a Ju Jitsu stance. “However, your lucky streak ends here. You may recite your death haiku.” “It is still too early for that.” “YEEART!” Ninja Slayer lunges forward!
“YEEART!” Cysamuraiken and the bracer clash. “Nuuu!” “Shukoopatan!” A contest of ninja strength between the two! And a shadow that goes across the ceiling above!
Without a doubt, it is Gorgon’s shadow! He has returned to his senses! He’s about to ambush Ninja Slayer from above without making a sound! Namusan! Is this going to be another humiliating defeat! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!?” As Ninja Slayer pushes down Cysamurai, he throws a high kick behind his back, hitting Gorgon right in the face as he was falling down!
Gorgon is thrown into the server rack, suffering great pain as he is showered by the sparks. “GWAAH!” “YEEART!” Cysamurai breaks out of the clash and throws a slashing attack! Ninja Slayer dodges it by lowering his upper body down to the floor! And he throws a spinning kick while doing so! “YEEART!” A kick that combines offense and defence, Meia Lua de Compasso!
“GWAAH!” Cysamurai is struck in the side of the head and blown away to the floor! He hits the server rack, raising a shower of sparks! As Ninja Slayer is done delivering the kick, Gorgon immediately attacks him! He jumps, about to sting him with his tongue needle! Abunai! “FOHAA!” BLAMBLAMBLAM! “GWAAH!”
“Even if you’re a ninja,” “BLAMBLAMBLAM! “GWAAH!” “surely you’re not immortal,” BLAMBLAMBLAM! “GWAAH!” “Are you?” BLAMBLAMBLAM! “GWAAH!” the one who mercilessly unleashes an automatic gun on him is Nancy! Gorgon is squirming in agony on the floor!
“Hey, dammit! Feeling any regrets?” Alias cries. “For looking down on me!” “Fos…” For a moment, Gorgon keeps twitching on the floor, but then suddenly jumps and jumps at Nancy as she runs out of ammo! “FOHAA!” “YEEART!” His legs are grabbed from behind by Ninja Slayer! Such explosive ninja power!
“YEEART!” Ninja Slayer turns around and slams Gorgon’s body on the floor! “GWAAH!” Still not releasing his grip, he turns around once again, slamming Gorgon’s body on the floor! “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!”
“YEEART!” “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams! “YEEART!” “GWAAH!” Turns around and slams!
“You better remember this, Ninja Slayer.” With great difficulty, Cysamurai rises up from the server rack and pulls back. Smoke comes out of his cyarmor, and the organic UNIX lights are in disarray. He activates his cyroller system and quickly makes his sliding escape! “YYYEAAAART!” “SAYONARA!” Gorgon explodes, scattering his ashes to the winds!
“Heh, that’s ingaoho for you. Amakudari bastards,” Alias spits. Nancy reloads her automatic gun and puts it back to the holster. “…Doomo, Ninja Slayer=san. Glad to see you in good health.” “I have to thank you. Nancy=san.” And he looks at Alias. “And you, too.”
“It’s fine,” Alias laughs. “Life is all about mutual favors. I’m just returning it, you know? Business!” “I see,” says Ninja Slayer. Alias looks over the server facility. “And now I’m gonna get a reward from Claquesous, too! Now that we’ve dealt with Cysamurai.” “Did the two of you sign such a contract?” “Eh?” “The written one.”
Nancy shrugs with a wry smile and walks towards the exit. Ninja Slayer goes after her. And as he walks, he turns back, “In any case, you have my gratitude. Alias=san. Let’s go.” “By the way, I, just lost my home, you see… I need a new one.” “Then start looking for one.” “You better start looking for one.”
