Hiei and Nin traded several blows. "I still can't tell who has the advantage...!!" said Nin, trying to focus on the battle. "This one's better than I thought. Majori and Blade have already been defeated.....". Leaping back, both of them panted, trying to get their wind back. John, Alyssa, and Angelic riding her chocobo arrived on the scene. "Stay out of this, John!!" said Nin, cracking his knuckles, "this is my fight....". He began summoning energy into his hand. Hiei began summoning aura into his hand the same way. Both of them put their hands in the same position, and at the same time, shouted "Dragon of the Darkness Flame!!". Both of the dragons appeared from their owners hands, and flew towards each other. In the clash of energy, they both self-destructing, creating a large explosion of energy between the two fighters. As the smoke cleared, Hiei tried to recollect some of the aura spent in the attack, but Nin was no where to be scene. "Where'd he go?..." thought Hiei. "Agggghhhh!!!" said Nin, leaping above Hiei. Hiei brought his sword up to block, but Nin went straight through him, and disappeared. "What kind of technique is this?!" said Hiei. "Subterranian Decapitation technique!!" said Nin's voice. Reaching his hand up from the ground. He grabebd Hiei by the ankle. Pulling himself out from underground, he drew his sword. "You can leave with your life, or you can use your aura to heal yourself. Decide which." said Nin. "I...won't give up...." said Hiei. Concentrating his aura into his fist, he shouted "Fist of the Mortal Flame!!". "He still has enough strength to launch an attack of that magnitude?!" thought Nin, bracing himself for the attack. Slamming his fist into Nin's chest, an explosion erupted from the amount of energy put into the attack. Hiei stood up. "Now.....he's dead..." he said to himself. "Not quite..." said Nin, standing behind Hiei. "But...how?!" said Hiei in shock. "The Nin you destroyed wasn't the real me. It was a clone that I created during the smoke when our two attacks collided.". Hiei grimaced. "This isn't over!" he said, disappearing in a puff of smoke. "I'd like to think that battle was easy....but it took way too much energy out of me, using three different attacks in one battle. At least my hands healed up now, and I can use the Dragon of the darkness Flame without hurting myself..."
Back at Alyssa's house, the group gathered around. "From what I can tell, they wanted our weapons....." said John.
"But, that makes no sense. Why would Blade want your weapon when he already has one?" said Alysssa.
"I LIKE CHEESE!!!!" said Angelic, jumping up and down.
"Blade wasn't after the weapons. He wanted to challenge John to another fight, to see if he could win, and he failed again. That's 2 wins and no losses for John, yet Blade still chases after John...." said Nin.
Alyssa shivered at the thought of that big hooded guy with her teeny tiny rapier. "So, what if they come back? Do you think their in cahoots with E.B.?" said Alyssa. "I don't think so. Hiei doesn't work that way." Said Nin, with his immense knoweldge of Shonen Jump manga. "But...didn't he partner up with Kurama and that other dude when they stole those artifacts from the Underworld?" asked Alyssa. "That's not the point!!" said Nin. "The point is, they don't know it, but if they suceed in stealing our weapons, their also aiding in the destruction of our world by E.B. So, whatever happens, we can't let them get these weapons. I can't believe I'm saying this but....I think we should leave them at Angelic's house". Nin bit his lip in case of an uproar. He was right. "ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?!?!? She can't even find her toothbrush in the bathroom!!!" said Alyssa. "I don't want some blood-stained weapon in my house! I might get nightmares!!" shouted Angelic. "I can't believe you'd suggest something like that! We're leaving the fate of the world in the hands of a boy-crazy-chocobo-loving teenage girl?!?!?!" shouted John.
"I know it may seem risky, but it's even riskier if we keep the weapons with us! They don't even have to worry about Angelic, because they didn't see her during the fight. They don't know she's here. The most obvious places to look would be with us!!" said Nin. "Mmm.....good point..." said John.
