Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

Shadow of Death II: Death

Trembling with immense fear, Maki could barely contain himself.

[???] You can't fail...

[Maki] Why do I have to do this? Just what are you?! Why are you making me do this!

[???] I am your guide...Follow me...

[Maki] That doesn't explain anything...I just want this to end...Why!

[???] He's coming...

Twirling the knife in his hand before bursting forward, Sai's speed increased tenfold.

[???] Sway back...

Maki leaned back, dodging the first strike.

[???] Sway left...

Maki swayed left, evading the next strike, Sai's guard wide open.

[???] Strike low...

Maki slammed his fist into Sai's side, causing him to slightly buckle..

[???] Chest...

Striking Sai's chest, he slid back slightly before smiling creepily back at Maki.

[Sai] *chuckling* You won't escape, you'll join me and be trapped forever.

Sai held his hand forward, causing Maki's head to be filled with hundreds of terrible memories from the past that were overloading his mind, causing his head to hurt and his vision to give out momentarily.

[???] Push through it...

Sai rushed forward and thrusted using his knife, aiming for Maki's torso.

[???] Left...

Maki pushed off with his feet and hopped to the left, barely dodging the strike. He quickly turned around and faced Sai, waiting for the next command by the presence guiding him.

[???] Duck...

Maki lowered his head, squatting down slightly, feeling the wind flow and the blade of the knife barely graze above him.

[???] Strike low...

Maki swung his arm around and nailed Sai in his right side.

[???] Sway back...

Leaning back, he evaded the strike by an inch, hearing the knife cut the air in front of his face.

[???] Sway Right.

Maki leaned right, dodging the piercing strike of the knife that left Sai wide open once again.

[???] Strike low...

Maki slammed his fist into Sai's right side once more.

[???] Chin...

Maki swung his right arm around, his fist crashing directly into Sai's chin, causing him to stumble badly. However, each strike, especially using his left fist, caused Maki immense pain. He started to groan in pain, clenching his jaw and nearly buckling for a second. Sai was still staggered, trying to regain his balance.

[???] Stomach...

Maki launched his right fist into Sai's stomach, causing blood to burst out of his mouth.

[???] Retreat...

Maki hopped backwards and created distance between him and Sai, feeling the atmosphere immediately change around them. Sai held his palm forward and these dark chains with sharp tips launched towards him.

[???] Left...quickly!

Not making it in time, the chains pierced into Maki's body, one on his left shoulder, another one into his left collar, and another one between both. Maki cried out in pain, dropping to the ground and clutching onto his chest.
