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

68.
Watching his pursuer over his shoulder more than the way
ahead, Hare #1 rounds a corner -- and finds himself in a dead
end alley.
But just when we think he’ll stop, he doesn’t -- and runs
straight for the alley wall! With every ounce of speed he
can muster he LEAPS at the stones and REBOUNDS off them,
sailing over the head of Isogai and toward freedom --!!
But Isogai reaches up and grabs a foot as he passes -- and
SLAMS him down to the earth. WHAM!!
Now a desperate scrabble ensues, Hare #1 wielding his double
short swords like steel incisors. Isogai and he grapple on
the ground, but the Hare’s moves are blazingly fast and he’s
armored. Isogai’s attempts to harm him are thwarted by the
steel and slowly, the fight turns. Hare #1 gets the upper
hand, double blades poised above Isogai’s chest, and just as
he’s about to stab down --
TWO ELDERLY HANDS reach into frame, grip Hare #1’s helm and
WRENCH IT VIOLENTLY AROUND -- KRRRAAAACCKK! -- BREAKING his
neck.
Hare #1 drops, boneless as a doll, and Isogai looks up at his
savior. HANJO stands there.
HANJO
(pointedly)
Old man?
ISOGAI
I’m never going to hear the end of
this, am I?
Hanjo just smiles and we SLAM BACK TO--
THE NOTO HARE LEADER
racing through the streets, Minoru hot on his heels. He
tries to lose his pursuer by taking a shortcut beneath a
building on stilts --
-- to find his only means of escape BLOCKED as OISHI’s shape
fills the exit. The Leader turns to double back, but now
Minoru blocks that way as well.
The Hare Leader’s eyes flick back and forth wildly. He’s
trapped. And as Oishi and Minoru draw their weapons and
start closing in for the kill in perfect synchronicity, the
Leader sighs, knowing he’s well and truly fucked...
