He looked at me with those evil red eyes. His eyes started to flash silver. I could tell he was about to transform into his second form. How was I supposed to beat him in his second form when I was lucky enough to be in my first!? His eyes turned completely silver and he disappeared. I looked all over for him, but he couldn't be found. "You can't find me, can you? DIE!!!", he screamed as he attacked from the side. I went flying on the ground and skid for a couple yards. Damn it! How in the hell can I fight something I can't see? I was hit from behind this time. I felt his foot slam into my back, sending me a couple more yards away. I had to put an end to this.

I thought for a while and I came up with the idea. I shot multiple energy blasts randomly into the air. One of them was bound to hit him. I heard him block and I teleported towards the sound and struck blindly. He went crashing to the ground. He looked up at me with ate in his eyes. "Sonuva... b***h!!!", he yelled as he charged me. He tackled me, pinning me up against the wall. I was being crushed. I had to do something.

I took my arms above my head and let them come down with as much force as I could muster. I slammed down on his upper back. He fell to the ground. While he was on the ground, he grabbed my ankle and slung me like a rag-doll. He threw me up against the wall. I hit hard. I jumped straight into the air and shot rapid fire energy blasts, making the ground a cloudy mess. Out of the dust came Koutetsu, madder than ever. He grabbed me by my ankle again and threw my to the ground. I landed so hard, I made a huge crater.

I couldn't take anymore... I was going to lose. I could feel all my energy deminish. He stood over my face and pointed his palm at me. A black and purple energy ball appeared and charged, ready to strike. "And to think you thought you were strong... Worthless half-breed... ", he taunted. That set me off. I opened my eyes wide with anger and let him have it. I teleported from where I lay to behind him. I kicked him so hard in the back, he nearly flew off the edge of the castle walls. He looked at me with anger and fear. "HOW!? How did a lowly half-breed, like you, get the ability to ascend to the second form!?", he welpped. "I don't know", I replied. "Maybe I'm just lucky..."

He was pissed. We charged at eachother at the same time and landed blow after blow. We would exchange blows until one of ours sent the other back. We fought like this until we were both exhausted. We were both lying on the floor breathing heavily, not knowing what to do next. "Looks like a stand-still..." I said. He said nothing. "Let's call a truce...", I suggested. I could tell from his silence, he was looking at me funny. "WHAT!?" I shreiked. "I've never been so humiliated in my life! When I get my energy back, I'll finish you!" I wasn't gonna have that.

"Ok, Koutetsu. You win. I give up." I agreed. "Wha... WHAT!?" he seemed confused. "You can't do that! Neither of us is dead yet! You can't call a truce!" He didn't seem to understand that I was giving up the fight. "What were you suggesting?" he asked. "I was thinking around the lines of you joining our party." I suggested. "WHAT!? NEVER!!!" he yelled. "I'd never travle with a lowly half-breed!"

Suddenly, I had a plan. "I'm not asking you to stop being evil. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go with us." I explained. "There's nothing you can say that will change my...", Koutetsu started. "There are always battles to be fought along the way... ", I interrupted. "Battles!?" Koutetsu asked, wide-eyed. "It's been so long since I've gone on a quest and had random encounters." "I'll do it." Koutetsu agreed. "But if you get in my way, I'll simply destroy you. Understand?" he warned. "Of course I understand! What would I care if you destroyed random villages? I'm just a hitman." The compromise was complete. Koutetsu reluctantly joined our team. I just hope he doesn't try anything... stare
