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

66.
The Hares stop and turn on Chikara, who doesn’t back an inch.
CHIKARA
Samurai are supposed to protect
their people, not prey upon them.
NOTO HARE #2
How dare you speak so insolently to
your betters!
CHIKARA
I see no betters before me.
There’s a dangerous moment. The Leader steps forward.
HARE LEADER
The farmer’s got a little pluck in
him.
(turns to Hare #2)
Cut it out.
Hare #2 draws his sword with relish, and as he goes to slap
Chikara with the flat of the blade --
And in that instant, Chikara’s instinct overrules all
rational thought. Completely on reflex, Chikara sidesteps
the blow and trap-locks the sword out of #2’s hands. Before
the Hares can blink, the sword is now in Chikara’s hands and -
- WHAMMM!! -- he smashes #2 across the face with it.
Teeth go flying and #2 drops like a felled tree.
All this happens within a single heartbeat.
The Hares look at one another -- this is no simple farmer.
Now the Leader draws his weapons, two double daggers known as
RABBIT’S TEETH, and springs at Chikara, unleashing an INTENSE
FLURRY OF BLOWS.
Chikara stumbles back, surprised by the speed and ferocity of
the strikes. Chikara blocks, but quickly finds himself so
overwhelmed by the onslaught...
...that he makes a fatal mistake and INSTINCTIVELY SWITCHES
HIS SWORD TO HIS DOMINANT LEFT HAND.
THE HARE LEADER
sees opening and as he moves to deliver the death blow --
CLACKK! The Hare Leader’s dual blades are blocked by a
WALKING STICK.
