Me and Alexis ran towards each other, and struck with everything we had. We fought like our lives depended on it, exchanging blows, one after another. People started to gather around us, cheering us on.

Toshi: Hey, the swords can link together!

Henry: Huh?

I put the backs of the swords together and a mechanism started to join the handles. The handles started to spin into specific pieces and parts of the handles were connecting at the bottom of the sword. Around where the handle was, the sword expanded into a circular shape.

Henry: Whoa. Thanks Toshi!

Toshi: No problem!

Henry: This is awesome.

Alexis, Asuna, and Yuki: Whoa.

Henry: What else can this thing do?!

Toshi: The bottom handle is used to spin the sword.

Henry: Oh cool, then lets spin!

I started to spin the sword as fast as I could.

Henry: Shallow, Flame Wheel.

The sword started to create a wheel of orange flame, and I launched it at Alexis. She dodged it and threw slashes of purple energy.

Henry: Shallow, Infinite Flames.

I spun my sword in a figure eight and deflected her attack.

Henry: Alright Alexis, that's enough for now!

Alexis: Ok!

Henry: (Breathing heavily)

Alexis came over to me to see if I was ok.

Alexis: I think that you over did it.

Henry: Well, maybe just a little.

Henry and Alexis: (Laughs)

Henry: Lets go inside the store where the others are.

Alexis: Right.

We walked inside and saw Asuna and Yuki by the window, and Toshi was behind them.

Yuki: Wow.

Asuna: That was awesome.

Henry: Well, if my plan worked, then everyone outside should be coming in here.

Alexis: Oh, now I get it. So what now?

Henry: Well now, we wait.

Asuna: Henry, your mouth, it's bleeding.

A line of blood was coming from my mouth and I wiped it off.

Henry: It's nothing, just ignore it.

A huge group of people surrounded us, cheering for us.

Henry: Whoa everyone, Toshi-san's the one who made my sword.

They all stopped and stared at Toshi and ran to him with excitement, making orders for swords and armor.

Toshi: Alright already, but one at a time. Thanks you guys, now I can keep my shop!

Henry: No problem! Lets go guys.

Toshi: Wait! I forgot to tell you, there is a button on the bottom of the bottom handle! If you press it, then the sword turns into a spear! The rest you need to know is in your holster, its an instruction manual! And you can keep the sword, you're earned it!

Henry: Thanks Toshi-san! I'll be be back to visit someday!

Toshi: I can't wait, and just call me Toshi!
