Chapter 1: Duel of anger

Saikago and Master Takishi were training in their dojo."Excellent Saikago, great form. Keep that up, you'll be better than me, " Master Taikishi said with fire in his eyes. "Thank you Master, it's an honor." Saikago said. Saikago was 18 years old from the 1500s Japan. He was a Samurai Training in duty and honor.

"OK, Saikago, it's time for your next lesson, a duel with me," Master Takishi said, ready for whatever comes. "Are you sure, Master? I don't want you to get hurt," Saikago said, being cocky. "Oh, you're funny, very well then, grab your bokken, I want to see what I have taught you will help you in this duel."

Saikago grabs his bokken, preparing for the duel. He Straightens his feet, takes a deep breath, and closes his eyes. He opens them back up and strikes, Takishi Dodges the strike with ease, leaving Saikago in awe.

Every time Saikago would strike, Takishi would dodge it. Saikago had to come up with an idea, so he decided to wait for Master Takishi to Strike, Master Takishi did Strike, Saikago dodge it and Striked Takishi," nice strategy but let's see if you can handle this."

Meanwhile, a mysterious man was in the woods, watching them train. "What will we do Master?" the Samurai said to the mysterious man," I will show him what he created." The mysterious man said with anger in his eyes. "Alright then Master, let's get going." The 2nd samurai said.

The 3 men walk towards the dojo, preparing to end things once and for all.

The mysterious man in front of the dojo's door said, " we're here." "Master, sure you want to do this, we can turn around and go back." The samurai said, "SILENCE. "The mysterious man said enraged."I will end it here. He will pay for what he did."

"As you insist, Master," the samurai said with fear in his eyes.

The mysterious man burst through the door, with the 2 Samurai at his side," Hold the boy," the mysterious man said.

The 2 Samurai rushed towards Saikago, holding him against his will. "LET ME GO!!" Saikago Shouted In pain and agony. "What do you want?" Takishi Said. "You know what I want, get your katana, we will end this once and for all."

"Master, don't do this," Saikago pleaded. "I'm sorry, Saikago, but I don't have a Choice," Takishi said with sadness in his voice.

Takishi grabbed his katana, preparing for the duel, and the mysterious man unsheathed his katana. "This is it old man, you will pay. " The mysterious man said. "Let's see if I will." Taikishi said.

Takishi opened up with a strike, but the mysterious man dodged it with no little difficulty. After that, the mysterious man hit Takishi with a dirty, punching him straight in the mouth with blood running down his lip.

The duel continues with blood running down both men's bodies.

Just then, as it seems like Takishi was about to kill the mysterious man, the mysterious dodged his attack, then slashed a clean strike at Takishi's body, with blood running down Takishi's side.

"MASTER." Saikago shouted in fear of his Master.

"It's over for you, old man." The mysterious man said with Anger. "Surrender or die."

"If I die here, my path will not end. It will only begin once I reach the afterlife." Takishi said. "ENOUGH, you will die here." The mysterious man said. The mysterious man changed at Takishi with his katana intact.

Takishi dropped his katana ready for what ever happens, the mysterious man kept charging at him until his katana went through Takishi chest with blood running down his mouth.

"MASTERRRRRR!!" Saikago screamed with agony. "SHUT UP," one of the samurai said, punching Saikago in the gut with blood coming out of Saikagos' mouth.

Takishi falls to the ground surrounded by a pool of blood. "We're done here. Let's go." The mysterious man said, leaving with his 2 men.

After they left, Saikago walked toward takishi, his body lying on the ground almost lifeless

"Master..Master." Saikago kept repeating.

"Sai..Saikago," Takishi said, his voice weak. "You must…honor your code….without me…it…it is…the only way…to finding true peace….within one's…heart."

With that, Takishi took his final breath, his lifeless body in the arms of Saikago. Saikago is now a ronin, a man without a Master only to wander. But he had only one thing on his mind, revenge.
