Demon Keyoto's break II |
Demon Keyoto sites quietly as Yellow Demon and Demon Vlad argue over which Commando Massacre target to attack first. As the two Demon Ninjas argue Keyoto notices someone coming toward them in the shadows of the night. Keyoto and crew have chosen a valley estate located about 35 miles from the Kogasuma border to plan these operations and only his allied forces would know of their whereabouts. Keyoto shouts, "Who are you!!!", the figure come closer. Keyoto shouts again, "WHO ARE YOU, identify yourself at once! Yellow Demon and Demon Vlad turn at once as the figure come out of the shadows. Keyoto stands and says, "The Blue Arrow is here, Valerie Fox, how did you find us and what do you want?" Yellow Demon rushes to the Keyoto's side with his sword drawn, Demon Vlad walks up to Valerie Fox and boast, "you're in the wrong place lady, you made a big mistake." Valerie first looking at Keyoto turns and glares at Vlad and responds, "I came alone, I have business with Demon Keyoto." Vlad raises his arm to block Valerie's path toward Keyoto, "You're very impertinent" Valerie responds. Keyoto bellows, "Vlad let her approach!" As Valerie comes up to Keyoto, Keyoto asks, "So why have you come here and how did you find my hideout?" "I'm here to take the place of my elder sister who injured you a short time ago. If you seek revenge for the injury my sister inflicted onto you I'm here to take her place. I'm willing to fight you to the death if you wish, the empire (CM) and my sisters don't know I'm here. As for your whereabouts....well I have my sources, let's leave it at that" Valerie answers. Keyoto responds, " So you want to represent your sister Melinda if I seek revenge. Interesting. I must say that's very noble of you. My question, why risk your life by coming here. Why didn't you just send a challenge. Why didn't your sister make this challenge?" Valerie glaring intently at Keyoto and responds, "Well....If I wanted to challenge you the best way, in my opinion, would be to go directly to you. I don't make challenges at the comfort of my home. As I said my sister Melinda has no idea I'm here. I would gladly take the place of either of my sisters in a challenge, they are what I value the most in life and if I think one of their lives was in danger because of a past event I am more than willing to defend them. Melinda spoke with me a few days ago about speaking with you to "straighten" things out, that's when I decided to come here myself."

| Keyoto walking around Valerie and
says, "I notice you brought your Ninja sword, I never
saw you with a Ninja sword but I do remember hearing
that you are an expert in Iaido." Valerie responds,
"Yes, I have used a Ninja sword on occasion. Remember
we Huntington sisters do cross train in our sisters
specialty arts. You'll have to be the judge to see if
I'm better than my little sister with a sword." Vlad
butts in, "She would be a great hostage master."
Valerie turns and calmly states, "You are not in the
position or of the skill level to take me as
hostage....Demon Ninja." Vlad erupts in anger, "Listen
lady I'd cut you down in seconds." Valerie turns to
Keyoto placing her hands on her belt tantos and
states, " Okay, if all of you wish to fight me, so be
it." |
| Keyoto shouts to Vlad, "If anyone
here is going to fight it will be me and Miss
Huntington here. Everybody just calm down." Vlad backs
off and Valerie crosses her arms and walks straight up
into Keyoto's face. "My sister was just defending
herself when you attacked Sho Mitsogi and Yamada and
you grabbed her. It's your decision Keyoto.", Valerie
adds while giving Keyoto a piercing glare with her
eyes. Keyoto thinks for a minute and turns and says,
"I do not wish to fight for any revenge regarding your
sisters actions. What happened to me that day was the
results of my actions. I knew your sister would
probably respond, the manner in which she did was far
more.....brutal than I had expected. I'm still
recovering from this injury and it will be a reminder
to me of playing with fire and getting burned. I have
no grievance with you or your sister. Yamada and Sho
Mitsogi, well that's a different issue." Valerie
responds, "I don't care about your issues with Yamada
or Sho Mitsogi, I do thank you for not taking issue
with my sister, that's all I care about." Keyoto adds,
"You're free to go Miss Huntington, I would like to
ask you one last question though. Why do you work for
the Commando Massacre Empire? Your skills and that of
your sisters are much better than they deserve."
Valerie cocks her head back and thinks about Keyoto's
question. "As you may or may not know my grandparents
help form this countries current government. My
parents both died defending it from Kogasuma forces.
This place is my home and I don't choose those who
defend it. We, my sisters and I, help out when asked
but we do not adhere to all the CM policies and they
know that." Valerie bows and turns and begins to walk
away and states, "Thank you Demon Keyoto for your
explanation of the situation and I respect your
courtesy." |
| Valerie Fox soon vanishes into the
night. Demon Vlad and Yellow Demon approach Keyoto.
"Why didn't you fight her master?" Vlad asks. "Those
Fox sisters are demons in their own right. They are
far more than just CM female fighters or ninja. They
are trained and crossed trained in an assortment of
many styles of fighting. Just look at what her sister
did to my arm. With that kind of skill and power they
would be much more useful to us as allies than
advisories." Keyoto adds, "Vlad, your one of my best
fighter but you wouldn't stand a chance against her.
There is so much I do not know about these Fox's but
anyone who would openly come here and offer to fight
all three of us is ether crazy or very dangerous. She
my friend is defiantly the later." Yellow Demon asks,
"Do they have a weakness or a price?" Keyoto sighs and
says, "there greatest 'weakness' is there general
reluctance to fight anyone which is why Valerie's
presents here was a real sign of her determination,
her honor. That has to be respected. Price, well...not
monetarily but if they ever are in a parallel cause,
then they might be of aide. Note too, she never once
asked about our new employer, never issued a threat
about arrest, none of that." Vlad asks, "Why didn't
Melinda Fox herself come, do they always do this?"
Keyoto turns and says, "It's how they work, Valerie is
the more vindictive of the three if any of them are in
trouble, I wasn't really surprised by her appearance
though. Melinda would have come though." Keyoto looks
into the cool fall air and adds, "just as a precaution
we should get out of here anyway. We have a meeting
with our new employer very soon, he'll probably find
this meeting we just had here very interesting."
Keyoto then walks off into the estates main house.
Vlad turns to Yellow Demon and says, "Keyoto's up to
