Movie Parody #1!
The trio swam around, towards the direction of the light. Conker got an idea. He pulled out a Mag-Lite, switched it on and placed it in some Corals.

Conker: This'll confuse some people! We'll be in the city soon!

They reached what looked like a underwater city, but was not the capital.

Monkeyboy52: Looks like some kind of outpost city.
Monkeyboy52: What the... WHO CHANGED MY BRACELET NAME?
Conker: LOL! ^_^

Yamazaki slammed Conker with the blunt end of his sword. The other two contestants felt his pain as well, but Yamazaki was still satisfied. A small cartoon looking crab swam up near the contestants.

"Hello!" he said with a Jamaican like accent. "Hello and welcome to the sea! My name is Seb--"

"Don't say it! They'll sue us!" yelled out a small yellow fish with a blue fin.

"Oh you're right! Mother mercy!"

The three contestants stared at each other wondering what the hell is going on.

Bowser: I'm wondering what the hell is going on!

"You three should join us mon! We be about to sing a song! It goes like this..."

Conker: NOOOOO!
Bowser: NOOOOO!
Yamazaki: NOOOOO!

"UNDAAA THE SEA! UNDAAA THE SEA! THINGS DO GET BETTER DOWN WHERE IT'S WETTER TAKE IT FROM MEEEEEE!"

The yellow fish that was singing along was soon in Bowsers jaw.

Bowser: Mmm! Sushi!

"Noo! Flou-- I mean Yellow Fish! Why you! WHYYYY! TAKE ME INSTE--" The crab looked overhead only to see Conker wearing a bib, carrying a claw cruncher, and a stick of butter.

Later...

Conker: That was GOOOOOOD crab!
Yamazaki: Can we start fighting now?
Bowser: Burp! Could you pass the tartar sauce?
Colonel: Hey! Can I get some lobster?
Conker: Silly Colonel! You don't exsist in the physical world! You can't eat seafood!

The three laughed in a stupid manner.

Yamazaki: Alright, can we PLEASE start "kicking ass" now?
Bowser: Seconded.
Conker: Motion approved.

The three swam again, seeing a strange white creature with wings, a blue bird, and a kid with a weird outfit. A lightbulb appeared above Conkers head.

I guess I should press B now... the squirrel thought. He reached back pulling out a speargun. An automatic, 32 round, laser sight, built in scope, complete with a compass in the stock, speargun. Thinking no more, he let loose, firing spears towards the three. While the team tried to maneuver around the spears, each one was snagged by the quick moving darts.

Laguna Loire: 2-3 Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
Laguna Loire: 2-3
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head


Laguna turned to swim away from the enchanting crimson bikini, his head whirling with thoughts and images and, well, you know, stuff. He looked over his shoulder once and saw a confusing montage of whales, sea serpents and people just generally hacking about on each other with gay abandon. It depressed him and he allowed himself to float along for a bit, not really worrying about where he was headed. For the first time since he had landed on this water world all worries about purple thongs fled his mind.

Death is a part of life, it can't be avoided, he thought to himself, But it's the death without purpose that really bothers me. He glanced over his shoulder again, dismayed by the blood-clouded water. What's the point of all this? We're hurting each other because that winged blue guy told us to. It doesn't make sense. And it's not right.

He rolled over onto his back and gazed up at the milky sun shining through the water. The rain had gotten more insistent, nearly drowning out what little sunlight was available. A flash of lightning overhead sparked rays down into the deep and then disappeared leaving only the distant rumble of thunder as a reminder.

This isn't good versus bad, this is hurting other people for the chance to win an unknown prize.

Laguna grimaced and stopped the easy kick he'd been keeping up. His purple Speedo-clad body sunk slowly to the bottom as he continued to look up, searching for answers. He settled on his machine gun in a most uncomfortable position and shot upright again, stabbing his foot on a hapless sea urchin in the process.

"WAH!" he yelled as he began doing his damnedest to hop up and down in the water, one foot held up as he attempted to free himself of the prickly creature. He finally got it removed from the sole of his bare foot and let it float free. It appeared to be somewhat lopsided but not really injured. Laguna poked at it gently with one finger and sent it on its way. Looking down he tentatively adjusted the scrap of purple spandex that was all that protected him from the cruel world and thus regained his endangered dignity.

"Well," he told himself, recapturing his momentarily lost equilibrium, "At least people aren't really dying. I'll just concentrate on protecting my teammates and leave it at that." He nodded his head in satisfaction at the decision and examined his punctured foot ruefully. Several thin trails of blood were swirling away from the limb. Laguna flicked a finger against one wound and yelped when it hurt.

"Ee-yah! That hurts!"

A thought teased his brain and he stilled completely, endeavoring to remember what he had been thinking. His brow furrowed with the effort and he gnawed at his lower lip.

"Oh yeah, my teammates! Where are they?"

Laguna looked around. The fighting seemed to have subsided but it was obvious that the intriguing Scarlett and her team were injured. Laguna adjusted the Speedo again and pushed off with the un-injured foot. He was feeling good again, and he started to hum as he was prone to do when all was right with the world.

Tottemo tottemo kuuruna anata ni
An an sukari muchuu
Uttori nettori haato go dokiri

Tenki ga ii kara doka e ikitai
Yan yan onegai kiite
Uhhan tokubetsu gouka na ranchi wo

"I'm on my way," he murmured to the crimson bikini as he prepared to cast curaga. It was the best option he had to help Scarlett.

"CURAGA!" Green light filtered down onto Ramirez and Gilder, turning them a lovely shade of emerald before fading.

"There you go, guys!" Laguna shouted, waving madly. "So, what now?!"

Ow
        A spear sailed past Mog's head. He turned just in time to see another coming at him... and another and another and another. The three tried to dodge the deadly, weapons, but they couldn't maneuver quickly enough in the water and were each struck. Tossing a couple potions to his teammates, the angry Moogle turned to face their attacker. Pulling out his own spear, he threw it at the deranged squirrel with all his might. The lance cut through the water, nailing the squirrel dead-on.

Re: Random post
No offense, Terra, but I figure people wanted your team out next because you hadn't showed up until then and I've seen very little of Izlude, so we're pretty much attacking the near no-show team. It's isn't that we're intentionally ganging up on Holy redemption, just that most people see your team as the 'weakest link' this time since you weren't able to be around before.

"Hey, hold up! I can hardly see you through all these bubbles!" Cinder called out.to Ryogo. The intense heat of Cinder's flames caused the water around him to boil, forming tiny bubble of steam and smoke.around his body. He wasn't angry though. Out of all the things he thought he might do in this tournament, the last thing possible was swimming. He was enjoying this forgotten joy greatly.

"Bloo gan dowg gown 'ere?! Bow?!(you can talk down here?! How?!)" The wanzer pilot proclaimed

"I'm not sure how I can talk period." Cinder replied. "I lost my mouth when I was turned into this walking tiki torch. I think those lab boys back at Ultratech said my voice box doesn't need air, and can create different sounds to make words. But I don't understand half of that, or how it's possible."

"Bow'dyu...?(how'd you...?) "

"Chemical weapons testing." Cinder stated bluntly. "It wasn't by choice."

"Oh... " Ryogo said back. "Phay gloath. Bloor wight is 'elbing me tee gown 'ere. (Stay close. Your light is helping me see down here.)"

Golbez was barely able hold him back.

"You know that little creature?" inquired Golbez.

"I do," responded Strago, "We once fought together to save our world, although I have not seen him in some time. And if you don't help him, I will."

"Very well, but leave this matter to us," Golbez said, "You should save your strength."

With that, Golbez unleashed 3 green colored balls of glowing energy that struck Conker, Bowser, and Yamazaki and transferred their energy to Agrias, Mog, and Strago.

Come on Krizak, post already!
The dolphin took Billy through the mountains, swimming in and out of various rock formations. Billy grinned. This was great. Although riding with a whale was peaceful, dolphins know how to have fun.

Billy let go of the dolphin and dove down deeper into the water. The dolphin followed, eagar to play. They circled each other, then shot back up to the mountaintops. The dolphin grinned.

Billy took hold of the dolphin's fin and hung on tight. It shot up, through the water, a gray torpedo. Billy and the dolphin broke through the surface and hung in midair before crashing down into the water. They dove deeper, scraping their bellies on the bottom of the ocean floor.

kik-kikkik-kik-kik-kikkik!

The dolphin swam around Billy, wanting him to take hold of its dorsal fin once again. He did. They shot over the mountains and the coral, passing small fish and larger creatures.

Out of the corner of his eye, Billy spotted a few contestants who were pulled by a giant current, which appeared to have been created by the dancing ball of fluff. He didn't pay attention to this, because at that moment he saw something much more interesting.

A giant city loomed before him. It looked as if it was made of white seashells, but on closer examination, it seemed to be carved out of one of the mountains. Most amazing of all, there were thousands of dolphins swimming about, doing various tasks, wearing different items which Billy took to be jewlery.

This is my home, said the dolphin proudly.

This?, replied Billy. So you're not a dolphin at all? Then you must be...

A Nevarian, replied the creature.

Say, Lise, they're a competitor~! Go Wedgie him with that silly thing he's wearing~!!

Lise made a weird face. Salamando, hush!

Still, it did seem like a rather fun idea...

She pushed off a moment and slid quietly through the waters and seaweed until she was right behind him. She untangled her foot a moment...

...grabbed hold...

...and yanked the speedos!

She then dived back into the patch of seaweed, making off like a bandit while trying not to laugh. She hadn't needed ot physically wound to cause this one.

The Underwater Battle - Yamazaki vs. Falco!
Following Conker's lead, Yamazaki swung into the battlefield. He didn't like the idea that the 'baka kinezumi' had gotten the first strike, but there was no helping it any longer, so the best he could do was finish up after him the best he could.

He watched his opponents carefully. They seemed to be of no particular danger. One was a white, somewhat cat-like creature with wings and a very odd, red ball hanging over its head. One was a rather timid-looking young boy, brandishing a sword. The last one was a bird with a very unique-looking gun in his hand.

I can't stand these animals...

Yamazaki threw another hand grenade. The best battles were ones that were won quickly, he reminded himself. As it exploded, he rode the wake in the middle of his confused opponents. The kid and the cat-creature were thrown away by the explosion, just as he had planned. His target now was the bird.

The bird, unfortunately, seemed to be aware of this, as well, and raised his gun. Yamazaki pulled his katana from its sheath on his back, considering his options. Iaijutsu underwater would be utterly pointless, so he would need to find another tactic. His legs pushed him into motion, as he began to quickly float towards his opponent. The bird pressed the trigger, but Yamazaki wasn't too worried. The water would slow the bullet down enough for him to dodge it-

What?

Yamazaki raised his sword instinctively, and the beam of light from the gun hit it. The blade absorbed the damage, but only just. More hits, and even his fine nihonto would show signs of damage. Yamazaki stopped, observing his opponent.

I see... a beam gun. That will complicate matters...

Yamazaki's stare became confident again. He gripped his sword tighter,

"Don't be a fool", the bird said cockily. "No matter how good you are with that sword, you can't use it underwater properly. While I, on the other hand..."

The bird fired again, causing water to evaporate as the bolt of laser speeded past Yamazaki. Though again able to evade the shot, Yamazaki couldn't help but admit his disadvantage. Unlike ordinary bullets, the water didn't slow the laser down at all, only made it a bit weaker.

Yamazaki threw himself forwards, slashing with his sword. But the water slowed his strike down, so the bird could easily block it with his gun. The two stood against each other, pushing each others' weapon, but the impact was so strong that they floated backwards, neither capable of getting a clear shot at the other. The two stared at each other. This was getting pointless - it was as though neither of them could harm the other in this environment.

Suddenly, waves threw the Koopa thing behind Yamazaki. A faint smile rose to his lips, as he suddenly realized what to do. Unsheathing his blade, he fell backwards towards Bowser.

"Perfect timing", Yamazaki said to the giant koopa. Hitting his legs against his shell, Yamazaki kicked himself into motion, moving towards the bird with alarming speed.

"You've got to be kidding me", the bird uttered, aiming at him with his gun.

"YAAAAAAHH!" Yamazaki screamed, suddenly drawing his sword, sending him to a spin. He thrust his sword forwards into a stab, and with heightened speed, he span forwards. The bird fired, but the compressed water caused by the force of Yamazaki's iaijutsu draw turned them away, and suddenly, they collided again, Yamazaki's blade easily penetrating through his opponent's left shoulder. As blood seeped out of the wound, Yamazaki set his leg against the bird's stomach, and kicked, drawing his sword out and sending the bird into the depths.

Suddenly, Yamazaki could feel an energy bolt sent by the black knight hit him. Groaning in pain, he turned, pointing his sword at him. "You'll live to regret that, I assure you."

The Definition of Falsetto!


Laguna smiled happily at Scarlett's teammates, glad he could heal them in their moment of need. He was completely unaware of the malevolent figure stalking him.

Suddenly he felt himself grabbed by the purple Speedo. Someone with immense strength and inordinate cunning was attacking!

"AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The perpetrator (obviously evil incarnate) slid into the darkness, leaving the decimated man to his fate.

Laguna curled up in a fetal ball on the floor of the ocean, grasping the purple Speedo with a tenacity that defies description.

He was utterly unaware of the shark approaching from his left.

*CHOMP*

"AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Laguna falls unconscious.

Please someone, help?

"Wheeee!!" Aeris giggled, splashing the water and checking out where her other outfit went. She turned to find Navi sitting ontop of LInk's head, which was the only part of him visable above the water. Delita was fiddlling with the bracer.

"This says that we can breathe underwater," Delita commented, as he flicked the bracer.

"Hey.... can I breathe under water?" Navi pouted, but then dove straighed down in the water, and came back up with a grin.

"I can! I can!! Oh boy!! C'mon, Link!!" SHe excitely said, pulling on Link's bangs who was just smiling at his faerie.

"There is also a city, but it's has some distance to it," Delita mentioned, and tried shaking his arm, "This bracer restricts my swordsmanship..."

"Oh, stop complaining. C'mon, I wanna see the city," Aeris replied, and without hesitation, dived into the water.

/Now... how do I contact others?/ She thought to herself, once the others were following her swimming.

/Well.... we can 'hear' you!!/ Navi thought back, and Aeris turned around to look at them in a state of surprise.

/So that's how we'll be contacting each other? By thinking?/

/I guess so.../ Link commented, and the companions looked at each other, and then started swimming, following a vague map that was on the bracers.

/There are sharks here!! How come I also pose as a danger for a snack?/ Navi complained. Link sighed, and blew bubbles towards her.

Re: "Eyes on You..."
Pain...

Ramirez felt blood again, in such a manner that his forehead felt laden with the bronze-odored warmth. He was now covered in minor abrasions and scorch marks from the assault by the trio, but one particularly heavy attack had covered his temple with a painful bruise that swelled with purple and crimson. He was accompanied to being bloodied by now, but all the same...that hurt. That hurt quite a lot. And it made him even angrier than when it had been that odd little red squirrel and his shelled friend. To be attacked out of the blue...if he made another mistake like letting his guard down again, hell, he deserved to die!

But not now.

The Ginken flashed in the aquatic battlefield, and Ramirez stretched out his hand before him. He glanced to each of his teammates- Scarlett suffered from the Lightning Stab inflicted by the girl in the monokini, as Gilder sported a few cuts and bruises himself. Well. They'd taken damage themselves, even with Laguna's curative spell- but he had something prepared to remedy that. As the trio before them began to beat a retreat, Ramirez shut his eyes and gave a low, throaty hum. In his mind's eye, there was again the sphere of the Six Moons, glowing in perfect harmony with one another. He saw himself, floating as he remained clad in his less-than-modest silver trunks, but nonetheless the intimidating swordsman that he was. A champion of the Silvites, calling down the glittering light of the white moon that hovered above the cool tangibility that was his mind.

Silver Blessing.

"Moons...give me your blessing," he almost purred, seeming to repel the water from his own lungs, and he bowed his head until his ghostly white locks hid his eyes from view. The Ginken sparkled with silvery electricity, coursing up his hand and up through his body to seal within his other palm. Out of nowhere, towards the light that gleamed on the ocean's surface, came sparkles of the same brilliance, raining down like crystal rain through the bubbly water. They slowly collected in his outstretched palm, and as they shone to an incredibly bright sheen, his hand began to pulsate. The Silvite moonstone within his palm shook vehemently, but he kept himself cool, and collected. He gradually brought his hand to his chest, half-opening his eyes only to look at the holy radiance that now surged through his body. His bare flesh gleamed with Silver magic, his strands of hair flitting up with the light that overpowered his form.

His very soul seemed to be showing itself, and as the Blessing overtook him, so too did a slow gleam appear from the centers of his allies' chests. Light took hold in their bodies, flaring through the cool flesh that was bared by their swimsuits, and then it all flared again. Ramirez threw himself back as the Silver magic finished the work that Laguna's Curaga had started, arching his back as a surge of power restored his muscles to optimum physicality. His eyes fluttered to a close, his arms stretched out to let the ethereal, beautiful wands caress his body as it performed a slow arc in the water. It spun him, gently, tracing from his eyes to his lips and down his chest and stomach, over his arms and around his waist, until it interlaced with his legs to restore a pale, smooth flesh color to the purple and red that had littered his body just a moment prior. The light flared along within the forms of Scarlett and Gilder, and as it sealed up their injuries and stopped all bleeding, Ramirez's arc completed, and he again floated in the water.

He sighed slightly, the effort to cast that spell very draining- but not as draining as unrequited anger.

Just as I vowed to fight in this, so too will I vow not to fall until I face Yamazaki Shinnosuke in battle again, Ramirez mused aloud, dangerously. His Ginken came up slowly in the water to press the dull edge against his still-shining forehead, and he fixed his deadly eagle-eye vision upon the golden-haired beauty and her comrades. For attempting to break that vow, I will now-

He broke off, suddenly, his brow furrowing as though he had decided something else. You know what? Just take this.

Instead of light, this time, it was purely shadow. Ramirez held up his Ginken in a vengeful glare, the weapon glistening with darkness. From its hilt strode a beam of pure dark, as though someone were tracing it with black marker, and Ramirez brought the blade over his shoulder as though for an overhead swipe. Indeed, he did give one, and brought the silver saber over and forward for a blinding swipe of his blade- even in the water's differing volume, it was still an intense blow. The shadow seemed to spring from the blade, shooting for the center of the trio, and they scrambled quickly to evade the dark lance. Indeed, it streamed past them, shooting just barely past Agrias's creamy, bare waist.

Then it shattered into a dozen, smaller slices of darkness.

Ramirez slowly waved the sword back up to his side, straining a little against the water's force. The explosion peppered his enemies' flesh, taking advantage of their swimwear to pepper their flesh with small, anti-gravity explosions. There was no flame, no smoke in the water, only absorptions into the target flesh. In training, Ramirez had felt the injury; it felt more like icicles driving into you, a thousand knives of cold stabbing the spot to where it almost burned with an unearthly chill. The attack was not all that complicated- the magic "missile" of sorts fragmented into smaller bits, to where it would flare the pain receptors in the target where it hit.

He was happy the blonde warrior had dodged. Had it hit, she would probably not be lucid.

You are a wise one...Agrias Oaks, was it? Ramirez's mind uttered, his eyes narrowing to green slits. I am Ramirez. I would match swords with you and your team, but the water is so restricting...I thus hope you survive.

She looked very confused, and he swore for a moment she looked like Fina. She had the same, shockingly beautiful features, almost, the same tint of hair that Fina had owned as a youth. Though more muscular, more adept with the blade she used, her figure, curved and shapely, almost matched his childhood friend's. Skilled with magic, with the skills inherent in her blade...it was as though she were what Fina may have turned out to be, had she been given the path of the Ginken. A humbling thought.

Ramirez kicked his bare legs, swimming back towards his teammates and Laguna. Facing a Fina that did not exist...

Perhaps that was what it would be like to fight this Agrias Oaks.

(Idly begins wondering if Shadow would have had any real swim-wear... Speedo? *shudders* Or, another outfit of Sonic's, just hacked up, like the Christmas outfits... A vest? Pfft, looked more like Sonic's Santa suit with the arms ripped off.)
----

After a few expiramental breaths, Shadow, still leary about the thought of being able to breath underwater, finally decided to follow his group. His previous attempts had humoured many, though it was half serious for him. He never learned how to swim on the ARK, nor durring his time on Earth. He was also sure, that the other Blue Hedgehog had the same hatrid for the water.

Shadow sunk rather quickly, as his Teammates swam off. Unfortunatelly, his head was rather top-heavy, so he had no choice but to sink head-first, again. Swiming was definatelly not his forte, and he made a note that as soon as they were able to hit any walkable surface, he'd make use of it. Although, the weight of the sea was impending much movement. Too slow.

(OOC: I'm guessing Lise had a personal vandetta? :confused )

The two spiky-haired contestants made their way following along everyone else's path. It wasn't hard not to follow, as there was a trail of destruction miles long in one direction. It seemed the best path to take.

Trying to jump along after the others, along the rocky bed and coral life, was a bit of a challenge. Everyone was up against one, though, so no complaints were made from anyone. What particularly caught his attention, aside from the fact Lise had mentioned she could read lips, was that the braces on their arms glowed irridescently, and grew brighter as they neared their destination. How conveniant.

Shadow Blade vs Holy Sword: Under Pressure
Ryo and his team-mates had been swimming almost vertically downwards for a long time. Lise was easily the best swimmer of the three, she glided through the water much like a dolphin. Ryo was also fairly comfortable in the water, his father had encouraged him to swim from an early age to build up his stamina for the martial arts. Shadow had started awkwardly, but was clearly quite adaptable. The hedgehog’s feet had disappeared in a blur of bubbles at he kicked them frantically to propel himself downward.

Finally the sea-bed became visible through the dark water. Staying about 50ft above the silty basin the three companions started to swim horizontally in the direction that their bracers indicated with an ever increasing hum. They had not gone far when something caught Ryo’s attention, a thin shard of light at the bottom of the sea. He mouthed to Lise and Shadow to go on ahead then swam down to investigate. As he drew closer Ryo could see that it was the blade of a long, slender sword being carried by a young man who stood on the sea-bed almost as if he were on dry land. He wore armour of leather and steel, which acted as effective ballast and only the constant slow waving of his brown hair betrayed that he was in water. The young knight beckoned to the teenager who continued downward and landed nearby.

From this distance Ryo could see that the knight could not have been more than a couple of years his senior, but life had clearly taken them down very different paths. The knight smirked, mouthed ‘De-li-ta’ and raised his sword. It was clearly a challenge, but without an effective method of communication there was no way to be certain of the reason. Well, this is a tournament, Ryo thought to himself. There doesn’t always have to be a reason. Looking Delita in the eyes he simply nodded.

As he tried to adopt a combat stance, Ryo suddenly became fully aware of the difficulties presented by his current situation. Unlike the knight he had nothing to weigh him down and found himself unable to properly weight his movements. He experimented with a few basic movements; punches, kick and dodges. It was like moving through tar. The still water resisted heavily to his movements, since in the Hazuki style most actions began from a stationary position. I’ll have to improvise, he realised. I need to keep myself in constant motion to cut down on the resistance on the water. Sweeping moves are out too. Ryo bounced up and down on his toes a few times to get a feel for the water resistance, and that was when an idea came to him. Jeet Kune Do? That style utilises constant movement. I’ve only ever faced one person who practised it, but I’ve seen it in enough movies to get a rough idea. All I need to do is utilise its movement to get me into range and then revert to Jujitsu once I’m in close.

Ryo looked back over to Delita, who still stood patiently in waiting. The teenager started bouncing on his heels again, looking much like Bruce Lee in slow motion, and circled around to the young knight’s side slowly closing the distance. Delita waited patiently, the last trace of a smile faded into an expression of complete concentration. As Ryo came within striking distance the knight swept his sword around in a horizontal slash at chest height. The blade was thin but the resistance against Delita’s arms cut its speed down dramatically. Ryo pushed himself lightly back with one foot and the tip of the blade missed him by inches. Clearly his opponent was having trouble adapting to their new environment too.

Delita narrowed his eyes and drew his sword back to waist level so that the tip pointed at Ryo. Clearly the next move would be a stab, the teenager would have to try and read where it was going. He relaxed his body, remembering the techniques that the old master had taught him at the harbour. The knight dug his right heel into the silt and lunged ahead, his blade shearing through the water almost unhindered. Ryo read the strike just in time and performed the Shadow Step; turning his body sideways to let the blade pass then pushing himself in close to his opponent. Delita’s arms were still outstretched, leaving him wide open to the elbow strike that the teenager slammed into the side of his face. The knight was knocked off balance but managed to strike Ryo in the ribs with the back of his gauntlet as he fell. The young Hazuki winced in pain and kicked down hard with his legs to propel himself out of the reach of the sword as it came back around. The teenager executed a nimble back-flip and landed several feet from his opponent.

Delita pushed himself back up to his feet. He smirked again and threw a mock salute to Ryo in recognition of him not attacking a man while he was down. Taking a moment to regain his composure the knight raised his sword to chest level and pointed it at his adversary, the seriousness back in his face. The atmosphere between them had subtly changed; this would be the final pass.

Ryo bounced on his toes again and exhaled a stream of bubbles upward. Then the teenager fixed his eyes on those of his opponent and thrust himself forward. Delita too dashed ahead and darted the sword forward. But this time it was a feint. The knight dug his heel in to stop himself and drew back the sword before thrusting it forward with his left hand. Ryo dodged around to the outside of his adversary, but the side of the blade caught him a glancing cut to the shoulder. The teenager gritted his teeth, but remained dedicated to his action. With another step he passed Delita and executed the Shadow Blade, striking the exposed back of the knight’s neck with the side of his open hand.

The young knight was knocked forward and fell to the ground, a thin cloud of blood rising from his open mouth. The old master was right, Ryo thought, an exposed neck is surprisingly weak. Ryo bowed as best he could to the knight, who was now down on one knee, before swimming away to find his team-mates.

Issac, Lost?
Issac came to with a rather splitting headache. It took him several moments to focus his eyes properly, and even afterwards he felt so light-headed that he couldn't focus properly. However, his bearings were pretty clear. He could still hear the din of some ongoing battle in the distance. Laguna and Yoshi both were nowhere to be found, however.

But I'm outside the current now. Someone must have saved me, then... but neither Yoshi or that girl I bumped into are anywhere around here. I need to find my teammates...

Gathering what will he had left, Issac swam unwittingly in the direction of the underwater city instead to where Yoshi and Laguna were.
