The 47 Ronin v1.3 (c#1A72A6.fdr - Whoa is (Not)

104.
And as Kira’s army closes on both sides and the ronin defend
on two fronts: Oishi and the remaining ronin on the right
side, and Minoru almost single-handedly holding the left --
ATOP THE WALL - OKUDA AND HIS FORCE
have almost reached the cannon...when the DREAD NINJA
CLANLORD and his minions mount the parapet walk between them
and it.
The HISS of them drawing their EXOTIC WEAPONS and adopting
their FIERCE READY STANCE freezes the blood in the ronin’s
veins.
As the Ninja move forward, Okuda’s men try their best to
engage them -- but are quickly beaten back, intimidated.
That’s when Okuda’s men break and BACK AWAY.
Chikara retreats with them...until he looks down and sees
Kira’s legions pushing the ronin back in the courtyard.
Closing in on his friends. On his father.
And when Oishi looks up at him and they meet eyes, resolve
floods back into Chikara veins.
CHIKARA
(stopping)
No! We can’t! If we don’t open
that gate, they die!
But none step forward.
Except Hazama.
HAZAMA
I’m with you, boy.
Alone, the oldest and the youngest of the ronin share a
look...then charge forward like tigers.
As Hazama engages several ninja, CHIKARA draws his sword and
charges the Clanlord. As he nears, he gives a powerful
kirioroshi downward cut -- but the Clanlord easily turns the
blade and delivers an arm crushing overhead chop.
CLAAAAANGGG!!
Chikara staggers under the force of the blow, and before he
can recover the Clanlord CHOPS again! And again.
CLAAAANGGG! CLAAAANGGG!!
DOWN BELOW
The sheer weight of numbers against them SQUEEZES Oishi’s
force closer and closer together like a vice.
