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

82.
And the tides begin to turn.
OISHI fights with the precision and grace of his rank,
shattering ninja weapons setting fire to ninja with every
stroke of his legendary blade.
Quickly, the ninja are overcome, slain to a man, except for
the --
NINJA CLANLORD
-- who sidesteps a battle with SMOKE BOMBS and races off
through the caves.
But Oishi and Minoru are already in pursuit, chasing the
Ninja Lord through a series of steam-filled tunnels and into--
A STALACTITE-FILLED CHAMBER
-- where a hundred bubbling pools of lava dot the cave floor.
Oishi and Minoru catch the Ninja Lord and the fight is on:
the ronin’s glowing swords working in tandem against the
Ninja Lord’s terrible chain and claw.
The tempo of the battle gets faster and faster, until their
moves are simply a blur.
And that’s when the Clanlord takes it up a notch.
Suddenly, Oishi and Minoru’s concentrated attacks are
outpaced by the Ninja Lord’s IMPOSSIBLE SPEED and, for the
first time ever, Oishi finds himself OUTSKILLED and on the
defensive.
The Clan Lord unleashes a flurry of chainwork that finds the
holes in Oishi’s blocks, in Minoru’s ripostes, slashing them,
bashing them, forcing them back to the edge of a CALDERA OF
LAVA where Oishi and Minoru fight, teetering for balance at
the edge of the molten pool...
Seeing his opportunity, the Clan Lord SMILES. But just as he
moves to force them in --
The Scar-Faced Ogre appears from the dark and SMASHES THE
ASSASSIN CLANLORD WITH HIS MIGHTY SLEDGEHAMMER, SENDING THE
BASTARD NINJA SCREAMING INTO THE LAVA!
Oishi and Minoru look at one another, then at the Ainu....and
exhale for the first time in minutes, knowing how very close
they came.
