The Ronin dispersed his aura around his body landing on the ground cracking his neck which sounded off. Jesse was on the side apprehending Sarah who was injured when the dojo fell on the both of them. Luckily, they evaded it before the dojo fully collapsed. Sarah's leg had a giant piece of wood inside of it. "Jesse gently pulls the piece of wood out of my leg." Jesse pulled the piece of wood out of Sarah's leg squirting blood on the ground.
Sarah clenched her teeth together in pain. She banged her fist on the ground which snapped and crackled. Jesse ripped the sleeves off his shirt wrapping it around Sarah's leg. Both of them watched the battle from the sidelines. The Ronin searched for Cross which he couldn't find. The Ronin closed his eyes and immediately found Cross's location.
Cross appeared above him firing two beams at him. The Ronin dodged the beams and kicked Cross in the stomach. Cross coughed up blood, sailing into the air. The Ronin then threw five exploding Kunai at Cross who didn't have time to dodge them. Five explosions occurred. When the smoke cleared up Cross was nowhere to found. The Ronin began laughing with an evil look in his eyes. Suddenly, Cross swung behind The Ronin grabbing him by the neck choking him.
Cross sank his incredible fingernails into The Ronin's neck. The Ronin tried to stab Cross with a Kunai, but the Kunai slipped out of his sweaty hands. The Ronin vision started to go away. When he was about to go unconscious, The Ronin overpowered Cross, grabbing his hands that were around his neck. He threw him forward. Cross landed on his feet breathing heavily.
"Nice try." The Ronin channeled aura around his body which raised in the air. Rider began talking to Cross. "Why aren't you using any of your true strength?" "This assassin isn't using any of his true strength do neither will I." "Until he does that is when I will show my true power." Nightmare"s Gulch Style." "Real Nightmare." The Ronin said that Cross collapsed on the ground. He could hear loud ringing in his head. Echoes of the past could be seen. He saw when he was a baby. He saw his mother's face for the first time.
She had two different color eyes. One blue one green. He saw that she was a half white half Puerto
Rican. That was the last thing he was before Rider made him snap out of the illusion. Cross got on his feet shaking his head. The Ronin was trying to make Cross weak so he could crush him easily and quickly. "Look like my plan prevailed." "I will have to kill you in the old fashion way."
The Ronin channeled aura around his hands which were neon green. Nightmare's Gulch Technique: "Forsaken Ninja Blade." A katana was formed out of his aura. The katana had dragon symbols all over the hilt which were white and gold. The blade was black. He held the katana in his hand scraping it across the ground. Sparks from the katana flew all over the place.
The Ronin shot towards Cross slicing him on the chest. Cross endured the pain kicking The Ronin in the face. The Ronin jumped back slicing the ground which was parted making the rubble of the dojo fall into the sewage line of the dojo making shit spew up like a fountain. Cross landed on his feet covering his nose. The Ronin channeled aura around his Forsaken Ninja Blade. He sliced the ground parting the entire block slicing a skyscraper into pieces. The skin on Cross's face was erased splattering blood all over the place. The Ronin levitated into the air cleaning his Forsaken Ninja Blade.
He waved into the air. Tiny triplets of blood dripped off his blade. Cross evaded the attack. The skin on his face healed and tensed making veins appear on his neck. Cross now decided to show some of his strength. Cross licked the blood off his face spitting it on the ground. He began tensing. Purple aura began circling around his body making the rocks and rubble on the ground float up. Black smoke began coming out of his mouth while the purple aura also turned to black smoke. The cars also floated up.
His skin turned black as night and shallow as water. Python Eruption. Cross disappeared completed leaving a trace of black smoke in the air. The Ronin close his eyes but couldn't pick up any spiritual essence. Cross appeared above The Ronin shooting himself towards The Ronin. The Ronin blocked Cross's fist with his Forsaken Blade. His fist was like a ten-ton boulder. The Ronin was shot into the ground like a rocket causing a crater raising dust all over the place. The Ronin got out of the crater with blood all over his body and his clothes ripped to shreds. Cross circled smoke sucking it up in his mouth shooting a giant smoke cloud at The Ronin. The smoke cloud was intoxicated.
The Ronin stabbed his blade in the ground creating a barrier. The smoke cloud was so strong it was eating away the barrier. The barrier cracked away like glass and The Ronin was engulfed in it. The Ronin sliced the smoke cloud in half which dispersed. Cross shot multiple beams at The Ronin who sliced the beams into pieces. The Ronin was to busy slicing the beams in front off his face he didn't see the beam behind off his back, Cross fired at him. The Ronin reacted fast turning around holding off the giant beam. The giant beam was so bright that he was closing his eyes.
The Ronin lost control of the giant beam which caused him to lose control of the Forsaken Bladed which flew into the air. The Ronin was shot in the chest. The giant beam lifted him off his feet carrying him into the sky, making him vomit out blood. Suddenly a great explosion occurred releasing a shockwave in the air causing furious winds catching the eyes of many New York City citizens.
