PW-BoF: Ryu Falls... A tragic fate
Unending BE - episode 194162
Ryu looked up at Barubabe, a flame in his eyes. He was no longer the frightened child, the scared rascal who had been mercilessly attacked by this beast-woman. He was a warrior, a tamer, a man who had not lost a match in any and all combat forums in years. He was going to rip this pokewoman apart... by himself. Tossing his cloak and his pokeballs at Ash with a quick "Keep 'em safe for me" he smirked and got into a combat stance with his sword drawn.
Barubabe smirked evilly as she uncoiled her tail...the scent of fear from this tamer, the sheer anger raidiating from him.. besides his arrogance... it was sheer bliss to stand and enjoy it. She smiled toothily at him as she also moved into a combat stance...Claws extended and long tongue licking her teeth.. she was going to enjoy tearing this boy apart.
Ash looked between the two, shocked at the idea of a tamer participating in a battle directly. Seeing the quick and playful look in Ryu's eyes and the fierce smirk on Ray he realized what they wanted. Standing back he called out "Match Start!"
Dust swirled around the two fighters on the beach, a light wind moving the grains of sand around. For minutes they stood there staring each other down.. waiting for a weakness.. for an opening to end it right from the beginning... Suddenly, as the watchers (not blinking out of fear of missing anything) were beginning to get nervous... Ryu struck.. a fierce overhead strike meant to force Barubabe back, quickly parried by her swift and dangerous tail... the two fighters began to strike at each other with blinding speed.
Suddenly breaking apart the two fighters began circling each other looking for signs of weakness... Barubabe smiled, finding the tamer every bit as good as she expected... but not good enough...
Ryu looked at the pokewoman, a true beast in combat, the best he'd ever had the pleasure to fight against... but not good enough to take him...
Both of them smirked as Barubabe launched forward her tail blocking the sword as she lashed out with her claws, driving Ryu back. Spinning Ryu demonstrated why he was one of the rising swordsmasters in the world with a series of brillant offensive strikes forcing Barubabe to retreat or allow him a clean strike...
Suddenly something changed in the fight... as Barubabe got serious...
A feint with her tail followed by a series of blindingly fast strikes at him, he blocked most only to take a viscious wound on his head as she extended her claws just a bit more cutting him as he dodged hastily back.
"No where to run... No where to hide... Today is the day you die destined child...", Ryu leapt to the side as Barubabe breathed out a giant gout of flame nearly vaporizing him where he stood. Only to find it was a feint...
Ash stared in shock as the creature removed her tail from Ryu's chest, laughing evilly as the light left Ryu's eyes and he fell...dead on the floor from both the wound and the poison on her claws and tail.
Ash went to his friend and cradled the dead man... crying at this meaningless loss of life... looking up, his rage was given no chance to vent as the two murders had already began walking away...
- Ash erupts in rage and follows the two immediately crying for a pokebattle... he'd get revenge for his new friend...
- "I swear Ryu... I'll take care of your pokewomen... and get revenge for you someday..."-Ash mourning over his friend (despite now becoming the proud new owner of a few ultrapowered combat pokewomen)
- *Leaving the fallen ryu behind... we now follow Ray, priest, warrior, magus, tamer... devotee of Saint Eva nothing is too extreme for his cause...
- Ray kneels and praises Ryu's skills... pitying that he had to end this way for being an enemy of Saint Eva... Que to funeral scene...
- *Something that could very well involve a scene shift to an evil church...
