                In the dark, cold night a giant fat man the size of two humans put together is perched in the thick fog that is formed in the top of a building. He does not look human with his giant arms that seem only useful to swing around the huge sword he carries. He grips and points his it towards the street that is 10 floors under him, bends his knees, inhales some air in his lungs, exhales then vanishes upward. It is amazing how a person that size can jump so high and fast. “Grrrahh!!” He yells as the gravity pulls him down towards the direction of the innocent girl lying down on the pavement.

                “What the heck!” Kensuke exclaims after seeing the surprising new rival. The sharp sword gets closer to the girl as he screams with laughter. “Ha ha ha ha! That is enough, I will finish th…” Clash! The giant had been interrupted right before slashing the head of the girl. The man has saved the girl, his scythe was scraping against the giant’s sword. “Impossible he stopped that monstrous sword!” Kensuke gasps as his legs shiver. With his back facing the giant and his scythe laying on his own shoulder, the man holds the giant’s sword back effortlessly. It is noticeable that the giant is having a hard time trying to push his sword against the scythe. “I’m sorry but I can’t let you harm this girl” The man said calmly. The girl looks around and then looks at Kensuke. “What is going on? I have a feeling like I am in danger but I don’t see nothing, please just make it stop!” Kensuke can’t seem to make a move not even to run away. The man  notices that Kensuke is too scared to move and cracks a smile. He then reacts to the girl’s desperate wish turning around to face the giant. He pushes his scythe forward and flings the sword causing it to whirl to a building and destroy its brick walls. “This can’t be happening for real” both the girl and Kensuke mumble to themselves. The wall crumbling down suddenly gave the girl strength to get back up on her feet and run away. After seeing the girl run away, Kensuke gets back on his senses and runs behind her.

                After those two run away the man walks towards where the giant’s sword lies. The giant looks at his rival with hatred “Don’t you dare touch my sword!” Ignoring the giant, the man grabs the sword by its handle. “Why you!” The giant yells as he charges towards the man. The man utters, “Stop making a fool of yourself,” then turns to face the giant so fast that his movements are not visible to the human eye. The scythe twirls on his hand as he grips the giant’s sword with his other hand. With anger the giant keeps charging, closing in to him. The man stops twirling the scythe making it hit the giant’s stomach with it’s staff and dramatically halting him in his tracks. The giant then coughs out blood in agony and notices that his sword is an inch away from his neck.

“Your sword is sharp and I don’t think that you will keep fighting me after I let you live with your death an inch away”. The man declares to his rival with a cold face looking straight at his eyes.

The giant grunts as he snatches his sword off his rival’s hand. “It happened again didn’t it?” The giant asks after taking two steps back. “How long are you going to keep doing what she wishes for?”

The man listens and starts to look more serious while his scythe starts to vanish into a cloud of shadows. The giant jumps off to a roof top seeing that the man was not answering back and vanished.

“Soon, soon enough.”
