Re: Chapter 1: Lighting Up the Darkness - Ghost
Ghost does it again, on the other side of Shinichi, hoping to blind him once again. He thinks, "I have to turn the scale in our favor ... despite the numbers ... "

Re: Chapter 1: Lighting Up the Darkness - Ghost
surprise round
Ghost quickly sends another light blast towards Shinichi and this time, it catches him by surprise. The flash of light blinds him as he throws his hand in front of his face, but a few seconds too late.
Three ninja circle Shinichi to protect him from further blasts as the other six move to attack. Three of the ninja move quickly to attack the visible target Kenjiro. They surround him on three sides and begin to strike with their weapons.
The first ninja to attack Kenjiro slashes his katana a bit too son and Kenjiro is able to dodge the attack. However, the next two ninja both land glancing hits against him. Kenjiro's body armor absorbed much of the wound leaving him mostly unharmed but outnumbered and surrounded for the moment.
The other three ninja break off and move towards the unseen assailant. They cannot see him, but it appears it's not the first time the Scorpion Ninja horde has faced off against an invisible presence.
The three ninja reach into their armor and pull out shuriken. They each take a vector and throw their shuriken hoping to strike the unseen ally. The first shuriken comes extremely close to Ghost almost striking him, but he's able to quickly move out of the way. The last two shuriken completely miss Gregory.
Kenjiro strikes with his blade against one of the ninja surrounding him. His strike misses the ninja as the three ninja prepare to attack once more.
Shinichi reacts to his blindness saying, "You and your accomplice will fall to the Scorpion Clan!"

Re: Chapter 1: Lighting Up the Darkness - Ghost
Ghost, invisible, decides to give the surrounding ninjas even more problems without affecting his ally.
A white-hot searing light sparks to life in a sudden burst from his body, attempting to blind all those around him.

The three remaining ninja guards continue to protect their master. It seems that the tide of battle is turning in favor of Shinichi's horde.

Re: Chapter 1: Lighting Up the Darkness - Ghost
Ghost again attempts to blind those around him. A radiant light flashes all around him, even though his body is obscured from sight. He hopes that this will prevent him from being harmed, and give them the upper hand against the ninjas.

Re: Chapter 1: Lighting Up the Darkness - Ghost
Kinjiro turns in time to avoid the flashbang burst and when he circles back with his blade, he cuts through one of the ninja turning it into the magical black mist that slowly fades away.
With only three ninja not blinded, the one attacking the invisible Ghost steps back to defend their master, Shinichi who's still cursing at the pair. "You won't get away with this! I shall have my revenge!" It appears that the three remaining, non-blinded ninjas are all clustered around their master and would make an easy target for Ghost, but...
* Poof *
One of the ninja throws down a smoke grenade which renders the ninja and their master some form of concealment for the time being.

"Kenjiro, get him!" Ghost yells, attempting to get an angle on the ninja guarding him.
He raises his hand and shoots a beam from it, aimed at the ninja in front of Shinichi, hoping to clear a path from his brother.

Re: Chapter 1: Lighting Up the Darkness - Ghost
At Gregory's call, Kenjiro quickly moves out of the way of the blinded ninja who were attacking him and runs towards his brother. With three ninja still guarding Shinichi, the two are still outnumbered, but they've shown themselves to not be overmatched with the ninja horde.
The two remaining ninja move quick on Kenjiro and surround him. They hope to finish him off then turn their attention to the invisible friend. The first ninja swoops in from Kenjiro's left and fails to land a blow, but his breathern ninja takes advantage of Kenjiro's dodge and lands a solid hit slashing open a wound on the swordsman's shoulder and knocking the wind out of him for a moment.
Meanwhile, outside their friends fight against the hundreds of lesser ninja. Not quite as powerful as these elite ninja, but those ninja like the ones here greatly out number the other heroes.
