Iona focused on the woman and blinked, and lightning struck without a cloud in the sky. Unfortunately, the woman moved so quickly, all she managed to do was graze the edge of the hilt of the kantana, simply disarming her. Suddenly not so brave, Iona nervously chuckled and stopped struggling, sheepishly smiling in apology to Mathayus, thinking, 'I'm so dead...'

Mike watched as a new friend was confronted by his old master and "wife". During the entire argument, Mike relayed the surroundings, ninja's made a perimeter around everyone, and Ayame was now disarmed thanks to Iona. Mike had no time to stall, he swiftly dashed for the fallen katana. He flicked it up from the ground with his foot and caught the hilt in his teeth. He drew both of his katana, spun his head toward the master and loosened his bite on the hilt. The third katana went sailing straight for the master's throat while Mike charged at Ayame with his katanas, planning to kill both leaders.

Mathayus instantaneously reacted to Mike, kicking him aside and out of the way of Ayame, while at the same time blocking a kick from her. He deflected a few more of her attacks and kicked her in the stomach sending her about ten feet backward. Mathayus glared at Mike, "Those two are mine. Got it?"
The ninja commander withdrew his own katana and easily smacked Ayame's out of the air.

Eldrin reacted quickly as the chaos set in, jabbing Ikaru's kunai between his captor's ribs. The man gasped in pain and released the thief, backing up several paces. Eldrin calmly drew Ikaru's katana and severed the ninja's head from his shoulders with a single swing. The thief sighed as the ninja's decapitated corpse fell to it's knees, blood squirting out of his neck in a gruesome fountain, then collapsed. He didn't like killing his enemies... But this situation called for it. Leaving the body, he whipped out Ikaru's shuriken and sent one spinning at Iona and Faro's captors each, dispatching them instantly.
Just then, a ninja jumped out Eldrin, bringing a katana down in a stabbing motion at the top of the thief's skull. Eldrin somersaulted out of the way and prepared himself as the ninja charged again. The thief parried two blows and swiftly ended the ninja with his own. Making his way through the battle, Eldrin finally made it to Ayame's katana, which he scavenged also. Wielding both Ikaru and Ayame's katana, he plunged into the fray, mimicking Mike's fighting style.

Faro felt the reluctance in Eldrin. He was killing them as fast as he could, but there was no murderous intent behind it. Faro burned his way to Eldrin, everyone would need to be at full lethality if they were going to survive.
"We had a contest when we fought the Twili." Faro said over the sound of battle. "What makes this any different?"

Mike was suprised at the sight of the ninja's severed head. Although this usually is no new sight, it was Eldrin who killed him. He hadn't seen Eldrin kill a single living entity before. Even more to a suprise, he was using Mike's fighting style. Has he been studying my movement this entire time? Mike thought. At least he learned something. He shook his attention off of his friend and back to the hostiles. He gripped his katanas and turned to the nearest ninja, immediatly striking him in the heart with one katana and stabbing another ninja in the brain to the left of him.

Due to her comrades' efforts, Iona managed to get away from her captors and buy herself some time to ready herself. She gathered up electricity, unable to search for her weapon and launched thousands of volts at her enemies, frying them and successfully killing them. She then pivoted on her heel and ran in the other direction, fleeing. Her enemies followed swiftly behind her.
When she was a good distance away from her companions she stopped and chuckled maliciously, rubbing her palms together rapidly and creating a visible charge of electricity around her. As they unwittingly enclosed her and leap for attack, Iona burst into a living firework of electricity of different colors, her enemies convulsing then dropping like flies. Momentarily spent, Iona put her hands on her knees and rested for a minute and then ran back into the fray to aid her friends.

The old master ninja relayed with Ayame, helping her to her feet. He relinquished his own katana to her and said, "Here, finish him with mine."
Ayame nodded, determination and vengeance in her eyes. She embraced the katana and moved into battles stance, delivering a soul piercing glare at her opponent.
Mathayus glared icily back in her direction, memories flooded his mind of the two of them and he fought hard to keep them from hindering his preformance. He raised his own katan to ready postion and began taking carefully calculated steps toward Ayame. As he inched closer he began to speak, a slight hint of anger lacing his words, "Why, Ayame. Why betray me?"
Ayame didn't waver in the slightest, she instantly shot back, "I was following orders. You murdered one of the order, you, the best of all of us, broke the golden rule. You must die for what you have done."
"So is that what he has been brainwashing you with, heh. That boy got what was coming to him, I am the only one here who must have a moral compass. Or maybe the organization wasn't what I thought it was. Either way Ayame, I did what I had to do to protect the innocent people he was so coldy killing." Mathayus paused for as brief moment, still creeping toward her, then continued. His voice was more direct, it had a tone of finality to it, "I will give you one chance Ayame, please, turn away from this deranged old man and come back to Hyrule with me. Or die. Choose."
Ayame's glare never faltered but she stayed silent for a moment. Then she retorted, "I could never love a traitor, you will die here today Mathayus."
Mathayus sighed, the last thing he wanted to do was kill the only person he had ever loved before. He sighed heavily and his eyes closed for in a long blink, "I guess there is no changing your mind then, I am sorry Ayame, I wish it didn't have to end this way." When he had finished speaking the two of them were close enough to begin their battle. Ayame made the first move, she rushed in draging the tip of her blade through the dirt and slashed upward at Mathayus.

Iona paused to listen to the dialouge shared between her comrade and his former teacher and his ex-wife. Her eyes narrowed at the woman as she felt a white hot brand of hate for the heartless female, but knew better than to butt in on Mathayus's business. All she could hope for was a nice, painful death for the old man and the harpy, which she knew that Mathayus was perfectly capable of delivering. As Ayame leapt for Mathayus, a stray enemy launched himself at Mathayus and Iona promptly struck him dead, leaving Mathayus to settle his domestic problems.

Eldrin backflipped out of the way of a wave of kunai, blanketing the ground before him. Immediately, three ninja leaped at the thief. Eldrin caught one, impaling him on Ayame's katana, and flung Ikaru's at another. The ninja took the katana through his abdomen and fell at Eldrin's feet. Eldrin whipped Ayame's katana out of the ninja's chest and took out the last with a horizontal slice, seperating his torso from his lower body. "The twili were mutated, horribly disfigured... They were mindless and impossible to save. Killing them was more of a favor." He said, decapitating a ninja. He retrieved Ikaru's katana and sliced a ninja into four pieces with a scissor slice, spraying them all in a fine red mist.

"If you kill them painlessly, you could say that you were saving them from a more brutal death at the hands of your angry friend over there." Faro burned several more ninja to the ground.

Mathayus easily swept aside Aayme's blade and aimed an uppercut at her chin. The punch landed and sent her reeling backward on her heels. Mathayus immediately followed up with lunge toward his wife's midsection, which she narrowly evaded, the sword tearing through her shirt. Ayame wasted no time in reacting, slashing her blade across Mathayus's face. The expert ninja just barely ducked under her attack and rolled forward. He pivoted with incredible speed, aiming a slash at her hamstrings. Ayame back flipped just in time and drove a foot down on top of her husbands head. Mathayus's face pressed into the dirt and he immediately rolled out from under her, spinning and scissor kicking her in the legs. He launched himself off the ground and plunged his blade down at her chest. Expertly, Ayame blocked the tip of his blade with the flat side of her own, then proceeded to kick Mathayus in the face. A light flashed and stars entered his peripherals as he staggered backward. His wife propelled herself to her feet and swept her blade and vertical arch that tore through Mathayus's shoulder. The cut wasn't deep enough to render his arm useless, but it did cause a wave of pain to flash through his upper torso.
Mathayus gritted his teeth as he retreated back a bit. He glared at his old wife, something inside him was holding back, and he knew it. If he was going to defeat his wife and the man who had created her into a weapon, he could not afford to do so. Mathayus closed his eyes for a brief moment and breathed in heavily. When he released his eyes opened and the intensity behind them was something not even he himself knew was possible. Round two, he thought, and the two of them rushed in at each other once more.

By now, Iona was tired of fighting ninjas and focused on the showdown going on between Ayame and Mathayus. She knew she was being lazy, but she formed a force field of electricity around her to protect and took to watching Mathayus and his ex-wife fight, to learn something, as she knew skill when she saw it. It was drilled in her head that although she was good, there were always somebody better, so she must therefore learn all she could. Plopping down a safe distance away on the stump of a tree, Iona did just that, watching the battle unfold before her eyes, carefully watching and studying their moves like a student in a classroom, ignoring the fighting around her.

All of the ninja that were attacking Mathayus's friends suddenly stopped. They regrouped over by their master but there were only a handful left. The ninja were no match for the heroes. So instead, the old man sent them all after Mathayus as he tried to fight Ayame.
This time Mathayus was unleashing the full force of his abilities, and Ayame was struggling to keep up with him. He casually swept aside her blade time after time, delivering small cuts here and there as she was just barely able to evade them. Anger and frustration burned through her like a furnace, Why can't I beat him!? I can't even land a simple cut on him anymore! she examined. Mathayus's focus was completely on his wife, his eyes darting every possible way to constantly look for openings.
Ayame slammed her blade down at him from above, while simultaneously pulling a hidden knife out of her belt and slicing at Mathayus's abdomen. Her husband had already seen it coming. Mathayus blocked the blade from above and expertly palmed Ayame's hand away from him, the blade missing him completely. He followed up by sweeping her sword away and spin kicking her in the face. Ayame's head whipped to the side and a blinding light flashed across her vision. Stars bounced around in her peripherals as well and she stumbled backward. The elite ninja stepped forward and snapped another kick upward toward his wife's outstretched sword arm. The blade went sailing threw the air as Ayame let go and Mathayus promptly whipped a hidden knife into the palm of her hand. The strike of the hidden blade was so accurate and powerful that in Ayame's stumble it completely knocked her off her feet and pinned her hand into the earth.
Ayame cried out in pain as she immediately tried to wrench the knife free. But it was too late, Mathayus was standing over her, his blade down at his side. "I'll give you one last chance Ayame, join me, or die," he propositioned. But before Ayame could spit out her refusal several of her fellow ninja came to her aid. Mathayus immediately snapped his attention to the thirteen ninja that sprinted and leaped in from his left. He parried a katana aimed for his head and kicked the assailant away. The next ninja attempted a sweep kick at him and Mathayus simply hopped onto the man's leg. He came down with such a force that he could hear his opponents shin and kneecap break into pieces. Instantly after landing on the man Mathayus pivoted on his knee and with his other foot smashed it into his face. Like lightening he returned to face the rest of the ninja and just barely reacted in time to catch a sword coming down on him. With his other hand he defleced a kick aimed at his chest but unfortunately could not stop the other.
The foot slammed into his chest causing him to stumble backward. Another kick took the sword from his hand and at the same time a punch connected with the right side of his face. Mathayus continued to slowly be pushed backward by the small horde of ninja, blocking and deflecting only what he could. Unfortunately the numbers were too great and they were gradually pummeling him onto the ground.

Mike stood idly by on the sidelines and observed the great battle before him. He followed his friend's wishes and did not intervene between he and his wife. However, as Mathayus was slowly being weakened by the horde of ninja, Mike proptly acted. He rushed into the mosh and whipped out his katanas. The ninjas paid absolutly no attention to Mike, for they had their primary target pinned.
Mike swiftly cut open he back of an unsuspecting ninja and punched their spine into pieces. The loud snap that followed prompted four more ninja to turn their focus to the other. The four enemies stood in formation with multiple weapons at the ready. Two of them leaped into the air and beared down on Mike. Mike's superior reflex took control and slung two kunai at the airborne hostles.
One had pierced into the forehead of an enemy, but the second had deflected the projectile with two fingers. The ninja brought down a fist on Mike's head, causing him to be dazed for a short moment. The ninja landed and immediatly kneed Mike in the stomach. Mike doubled over, but had regained focus and stopped the ninja's follow up punch. He caught his fist in his hand, twist the ninja's arm, and snapped the ninja's arm with his palm. The enemy screamed in pain and was silenced by a knife to the neck.
Like their comrades, the final two attacked in unison. This time attacking Mike's left and right flanks. They wielded katanas and attempted to skewer him from both sides. However, Mike had anticipated their movements and attack trajectories and twisted his body in a form that would dodge both katanas. The swords impaled the shoulders of their allies and left the wielders heads vulnerable.
Mike activated his Kujaku: Accelration, a faint purple aura emitted from his body. Quickly, and with immense strength, Mike grabbed the heads of the ninjas. He let out a soft chuckle and and smashed their heads together. The speed and force crushed both skulls to a pulp, bone bits scrambled inside the enemies brains and blood splattered violently from the openings in their craniums. Blood coated Mike's hands and tunic.
He released the flattened heads and the bodies fell to the ground and a blood pool immediatly formed.
