The Emperor of Tea

The Wielder of Honjo Masamune

For some days now, Alex has been getting his ass kicked by Xi Shi.
" You are quite stubborn " said Xi Shi, as she was standing over a beaten Alex.
Alex forced himself back up, he picked up his wooden sword, and he then said;
" I am just getting started "
Xi Shi easily threw him to the ground.
" Damn it... " said Alex, as he sat up.
Xi Shi sighed.
" Listen, instead of using the same failing tactic, how about asking me for advice "
Alex was surprised.
" Would you be willing to help me? don't you find me annoying? "
" I do " said Xi Shi, coldly, while also smiling; " But, the Emperor always teaches us to be open about our knowledge and experience "
Alex smiled.
" Maybe after training, we could go on a date? "
" Don't push it " said Xi Shi, coldly, and this time, she was not smiling; " Besides, I think that Thomas could use a training partner "
Alex's smile now vanished.
" You have been training Thomas this whole time? One-on-one?? Alone??? "
Xi Shi was now the one to smile.
" Be here by dawn, I have a surprise for the both of you "
It was now the next day, at dawn.
" It feels good to be training together, " said Thomas, while Alex was just glaring at him.
" What? "
" You have been training with Xi Shi this whole time "
" She said that you were too stubborn to ask for help "
" What did you do? "
" I asked for help "
" Man, shut up! " exclaimed Alex, annoyed at his own stubbornness.
" Greetings gentlemen " said a voice.
Both Alex and Thomas turned around to look upon a man, who did not appear to be Chinese.
" Who are you? " said Thomas.
" The name is Coldy Bimore, and I am here to kill the both of ya "
As Coldy was drawing forth his weapon, as the katana left its sheath, the sound of thunder could be heard.
" What the hell is that? " said Alex, as the weapon was overwhelming to even look upon.
" Like it? I stole this beauty, and now it is all mine " said Coldy, as he kissed the blade; " It is known as; the Honjo Masamune "
Coldy slashed at the two boys, both Alex and Thomas dodged the attack, but the many trees behind them; were all sliced in halves.
" Safe to say; that we can not be hit by his sword, " said Thomas.
" You think? " said Alex, as he dodged another attack.
" Come on, let me just slice the two of you, it will be fun! " exclaimed Coldy Bimore.
" Yeah, but only for you! " exclaimed Thomas, as he dodged another attack.
More things were now sliced in halves.
" We need to end this, " said Alex, as he tried to come up with a plan. Alex now noticed a wooden sword.
Thomas was now stuck underneath a log of a fallen tree. Coldy was about to finish him off.
" Hey! " yelled Alex.
Coldy turned around, to see Alex with a wooden sword in his hands.
Coldy now started to laugh.
" Really? You really intend to defeat me with a useless wooden sword? "
" What? You're scared that you might lose? " said Alex with a smirk.
Coldy's smile now vanished, as he said;
" Alright, boy, get ready to meet your maker "
Coldy now started to try and slice Alex in half, but Alex kept on dodging each attack.
" Man, you are one stubborn son of a bitch! " exclaimed Coldy, as he was getting tired of all the dodging.
" So I have been told " said Alex, who lost his footing and fell on his back.
" Finally, I got you, '' said Coldy, as he was pointing the blade of Honjo Masamune straight at Alex's face.
" You did not let me finish " said Alex with a smile; " But I have learned to ask for help "
Thomas now struck Coldy at the back of his neck with the wooden sword.
" Well done " said Thomas, as he helped Alex up.
" Thanks "
" I am here! Sorry that I am late, " said Xi Shi, as she noticed the many things cut in halves; " What the hell happened? "
" We dealt with your surprise, " said Alex, sounding proud of himself.
Xi Shi now noticed the unconscious man on the ground.
" He was not my surprise, I don't even know who that is "
" Wait " said Thomas; " If he was not your surprise, then what was your surprise? "
" These " said Xi Shi, as she held forth real weapons made of steel.
Alex and Thomas just looked at one another, but, before they could ask any more questions, Coldy Bimore turned into dust and vanished, sadly, the Honjo Masamune vanished with him.
