Raiju: Okay and then after that happened you had to meet with me and then you forfeited. But I had another fight before I fought you. This was the hardest fight in the tournament.
I was waiting on the stage when a man who appeared to be in his late twenties came onto the stage. He had silky long black hair. "I've seen you walking to and from the Palace recently but I haven't seen you before." The mysterious man was very pale and had a beautifully arrogant face. He danced beautifully around the stadium and by the time Raiju focused the man was already in front of him. "Are you a traitor or someone who has come to help." The man was now only a step away from Raiju. He twirled gracefully and dug his shin into the back of Raiju's leg.
Raiju went to retaliate but he couldn't pick his leg up, it tensed up immediately when it was hit. Next..... his other leg and his arms.
POW POW POW
"I know you must be confused. How do I know so much about you and yet you don���t even know a thing about me? Well, you can just call me a remnant, remnant number 5 to be exact."
Remnant number 5 send 4 repeated kicks and pinpointed them into the centre of Raiju's chest and used the force to create some distance. Raiju was sent back a few steps and immobilized for a moment.
Raiju: What the hell kind of name is that? What technique do you practice, your moves are unlike anything I've seen
Remnant number 5 had a twisted expression. "Oh about that, I guess you'll have to wait to find out."
The mysterious man hopped from spot to spot, his dance-like technique was graceful and hard to predict. Raiju missed many attacks with his hands and couldn't seem to catch the man. Every time he was close the man would land on Raiju's arm and apply further pressure in specific areas. If Raiju didn't train those hard to see muscles then he would have already been defeated by this man.
Raiju gave up on using his hands and reached for his sword.
Remnant number 5: Oh ho ho, we're getting a little feisty now aren't we? Why don't we hold off on the weapons and have a friendly bout?
The man spoke in a condescending tone as he blocked the attacks.
Raiju took note of his character and feigned exhaustion. He slowly and periodically decreased his speed. He knew that his opponent would catch his sight of it and he did. He pounced towards Raiju's eyes.
Remnant number 5: You could have kept fighting peacefully. Remember not to blame me when it is all said and done
The mysterious man was inches away from Raiju's eyeball when his body was suddenly flung to the floor more than 20 feet away.
Remnant number 5 coughed up a large portion of blood. He wanted to continue but as he stepped forward he coughed up another mouthful.
Raiju: Your rib should be broken at best, at worst an organ may have ruptured or should be on the verge of rupturing
Remnant number 5 looked at Raiju disgustingly. "You have won today, I was arrogant and let my guard down. I know better now and I will be better. This isn't the last time we will butt heads, just be prepared for when we strike."
Remnant number 5 threw his hand up. "I surrender, I require aid."
Raiju: After that, he was carried off and I haven't seen him since. Even though I won... he wasn't lying. I caught him off guard, he wasn't giving it his all, he was playing around like I was food on his plate. He had a deep arrogance engraved in his bones and he was strong enough to back it up
Raiju had almost finished telling the story to Kabal. "The technique he is practicing isn't normal either. I just hope KJ can come back soon. I feel as I'm almost ready to begin crossing over into the Spirit Connection Realm."
