Murasaki

I took a deep breath and readied myself for the fight to come. Saki and Kaito needed me to hold off Murasaki and protect their backs. I could see her closing in on us, her eyes locked on me.

I stepped forward to meet her, gripping my sword tightly. She was a blur of motion, her movements fluid and precise. I could tell that she was deadly, and that I needed to be at my best if I was going to survive this fight.

Murasaki attacked with lightning-fast strikes, but I was able to keep up with her, blocking and parrying with practiced ease. We exchanged blows, our swords ringing out as we clashed.

I could see the determination in her eyes, the desire to kill me and complete her mission. But I was equally determined to protect my friends and stop the Ironclad General's plans.
