The Blind Assassin stood north of the Jherrazad Desert. Her mines were laid out throughout the black desert sand and awaiting the Jherrazad army to travel through the desert to fall victim to them. No doubt they would be led by Empress Ranko and her right-hand man Kaso the Black Knight. But for right now they were nowhere to be found.
Fukari had been tasked with quite the adventure. To eliminate the Crimson Devil and Empress of Jherrazad, Ranko. The one with the demon sword Kasul who was said to devour the souls of its enemies. It would be no easy feat to accomplish, but then again nothing worth doing in this world was ever easy.
The Blind Assassin knew that for a fact.

Fukari wouldn't have to wait long as a small force of Jherrazad soldiers started marching for the area where the Blind Assassin was. Not far behind them was the Crimson Devil herself, Empress Ranko. Riding on a camel by the side of her right-hand man, the Black Knight Kaso.
When the Jherrazad knights advanced forward they fell right for Fukari's traps. Dying one by one as Ranko and Kaso pulled back to get away from the explosions. Once the smoke cleared and the soldiers were long gone, Ranko saw the woman who was responsible over the horizon. Ranko climbed down from her camel and Kaso closely followed, but Ranko told him to stay back. She could handle this on her own.
Empress Ranko carefully approached the area where Fukari was standing. Her right hand lightly brushing the hilt of Kasul which was attached to her hip as crimson red eyes glared daggers into the Blind Assassin.
"What is the name of my headache?" |

Fukari followed the sound of gentle footsteps that was slowly approaching her and then the sound of the woman's voice who she assumed belonged to Empress Ranko. It had been too easy to get her attention, but Fukari wouldn't complain. At least not now.
"My name is Fukari and I'm the one who's going to kill you."

Had Ranko been anyone else she may have laughed or scoffed at the idea of this blind assassin besting and killing her, but she wasn't like anyone else. She was Empress Ranko, the Crimson Devil. The woman who never smiled. There was only a cold emotionless mask upon her young facial features, but she was far from being young. She was in fact five-hundred and sixty-seven years old. Kept young by the demon blood inside her body. The half sister to the vampire Maricul and aunt of Sazan of Hallowton.
"You've come to kill me. We'll see if you have the skill to succeed at such a task."
Ranko gripped her right hand tightly over the hilt of Kasul and prepared for the blind assassin to make the next move.
"Strike me down if you can!" |

Fukari only grinned in response to Ranko's words as she spread out her feet and then burst forward at great demonic speeds. Closing the distance between herself and Empress Ranko in no time flat as she drew her Katana blade and aimed it to slice through the flesh of the Crimson Devil.

Ranko was no stranger to speed. Being as fast as she was also came with the ability of tracking speed from others. Seeing just how fast they could move while everything else slowed down. Ranko reacted straight away by drawing Kasul and the black demonic blade with a dark red aura blocked the in-coming strike by the Katana and then Ranko used her demonic strength to push the Blind Assassin back and give a swing of her own to cut through the woman's chest. |

Fukari didn't push back against her Katana when the steel on steel collided. Instead she stepped backwards and then leaped back altogether to avoid the reach of the Kasul blade. But as soon as Ranko would step forward to close distance between them...
The crimson bitch stepped on a claymore mine.

Empress Ranko felt the trigger of the claymore mine from beneath the sand in a heartbeat. In a half blink she stepped backwards using her superior speed and agility to evade the explosion by mere inches, it being just in front of her face. She then used the explosion as a smokescreen and charged through the debris and burst out of it led by the tip of her blade and breaking into multiple stabbings at breakneck speeds. |

Clever. Perhaps too clever for her own good. It was predictable what she would do from here. Using the debris from Fukari's own explosion to hide herself and plan a sneak attack. When Ranko came running through the smoke and debris, the Blind Assassin parried the strikes from Kasul and then moved in to thrust the tip of the Katana's blade into her heart.

Empress Ranko took a step backward and spun Kasul around like an old fashion propeller to block the in-coming thrust, and then pushed forward with that same propeller motion from Kasul looking to slice the Blind Assassin to bits and then consume her soul. |

The Blind Assassin was quick to jump above and over Ranko's head and to her rear as Fukari allowed Ranko to step on some more claymore mines she had set on the field of battle. The explosion and debris looking to sweep Empress Ranko away.

Kasul took the blunt of the explosion as Ranko used her speed and agility to evade the rest, appearing as little more than a thin beam of red light buzzing around the explosions of the claymore mines. She then reappeared on the other side of Fukari with Kasul at the ready.
"You need bombs to face your enemy?" |

"Not just bombs."
Ranko would find a silver grenade landed in her coat pocket and it went off instantly sending silver explosions against her to severely weaken her and then allow Fukari to close in and impale her through the heart with the Katana blade.

The silver grenade did its duty. It inflicted major damage to the Empress. She was reduced to one knee holding onto her Kasul with her right hand. She looked up to see Fukari charging at her. Looking to end this duel, and then...
Kaso the Black Knight intervened. He stepped in-between the two and shoved Fukari aside before lifting up the Ranko and lifting her over his shoulder. He glared daggers into Fukari before charging out of there to get his Empress to safety. This wasn't the end of their conflict.
It was only the beginning. |

Fukari was knocked back by the sheer size and power of the Black Knight, but by the time she would come to Kaso had already retreated with Ranko over his shoulder. Fukari slammed her fist into the desert sand and cursed underneath her breath. She was so close to finishing off Empress Ranko that she had forgotten all about the Black Knight. This fight was far from over. The Blind Assassin would have her kill. No matter what.
