Yuugen's meal

"My, the terrace sure is a nice place to gaze down into the city. You can even see the bay as well. The view is nice even in a light rainstorm," Eluf mused.

"Bayside seating is available, and boat seating is also planned for the future," Rika grinned as she delivered Eluf, his tea.

Suddenly, Yuugen appeared before Rika as lightning flashed.

"Hello father, unfortunately, you can't cut in line to get terrace seating," Rika glared and trembled.

"You are not as frightened of me when last we met," Yuugen glared.

"Well, Masaru accepted me and is going to stay by my side."

"And you think I can't kill him? Rika, you will be coming back with me this instant."

"First at least sit down and let me treat you to my best," Rika glared as she snapped her fingers.

Mimi, Masaru, and Itsuki then arrived bringing in Rika's prize winning meal, a giant blob of mochi.

"Your mochi surprise meal again? Very well. The last time I ate it, it was at the least delicious," Yuugen glared as he sat down.

"So you did enjoy the meal last time," Masaru nodded.

"And you have accepted Rika despite all the blood she has spilled?"

"Yes, and I would happily take her hand in marriage."

"You have guts, but I can easily spill those out of your stomach with ease."

"Yes, I imagine you could. But you won't be spilling anyone's guts today."

"I will. None present are powerful enough to stop me. Even if you combined your strength, you would all fail."

"He's not lying. That man is by far one of the strongest foes I've encountered," Dastard thought.

"Ugh, I really don't want to get my stomach slashed again, but then again, I do have some skintight body armor now, and Rika's matured so I shouldn't have to worry about taking a hit for her. Also don't see Nero anywhere. Guess he went to the bathroom," Mimi thought.

"This time, I'm not going to run," Itsuki glared as she and the others watched Yuugen eat the meal.

When he finished, he glared at Rika.

"Once again, I failed to detect any poison," he glared.

"P- Poison!? Sir, what is wrong with you!?" Masaru glared.

"I only allowed Rika to learn to cook so that she would be given ample opportunities to poison targets with her cooking. She claimed herself that was why she learned to cook, yet she clearly lied to me," Yuugen glared as he charged at Masaru, faster than the eye could see.

Rika barely managed to block him in time, but was then kicked in the abdomen, and sent tumbling into Masaru.

"I'll start with your staff-"

Before Yuugen could finish, he was punched in the face and sent flying to the ground below.

"And here I thought he'd put up more of a fight," Nero smirked as he appeared and gazed down at Yuugen.

Yuugen stood up, but immediately clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he fell to his knee.

"Looks like that punch rattled you enough for all the poison Waki stuffed in that meal to take effect," Rika smirked.

"Impossible, I did not- ACK!"

"I bet your body's nearly immune to poison, but even then, I thought the one time only poisoned meal I gave you, would weaken you instantly, well, luckily I managed to recruit one of my loyal patrons to aid me in my fight against you."

"So, want to continue?" Nero smirked as he leapt down and landed before Yuugen.

Yuugen attempted to attack, only to be blocked by Nero, whom had lit his gauntlet ablaze with his dark flame. Yuugen immediately screamed and retracted his arm. His hand was gone and the dark flame continued to creep up his arm. He glared and sliced off his arm before mustering his remaining stregth to make a retreat.

                                                                                   ...

Back at the mansion, Yuugen moved around his fingers as he gazed at his new arm.

"You lost an arm?" Alice asked.

"Yes, but thanks to Muku's science, I was able to regrow a new one. Since I'm now healed, I'll launch a counterattack immediately," Yuugen replied.

"Shall I accompany you?"

"Yes. We are now going to kill Rika on the spot."

"Shall I request backup?"

"Yes, we'll order a cyborg from the Roboborg union."

                                                                                 ...

As Rika went up to clean the patio seating, she noticed three figures standing on the balcony railing as lightning flashed. Two of them were Rika's parents, but the third was a large cyborg with a forked chin. It bore somewhat of a resemblance to Krokow.

"KR0-K0W, you are to kill her," Yuugen glared.

"Objective confirmed. Initiated extermination protocol," KR0-K0W stated in a robotic voice.

His head immediately swung open like a trash can lid and begun to suck everything towards him as a powerful vacuum wave erupted from his mouth.

"Oi, don't you dare eat this place!" Rika fumed as tables and chairs flew into KR0-K0W's mouth.

Rika then lost her footing and begun flying towards KR0-K0W. However, KR0-K0W suddenly, slammed his mouth shut, ceasing the vacuum wave.

"So close," a voice rang out as dynamite rained down on KR0-K0W.

"Izuhana," Yuugen glared as he and Alice leapt to the adjacent building, while KR0-K0W activated his shield.

When he deactivated it, his stomach was suddenly dented as Hanabi appeared and punched it.

"Open up ya glutton," Hanabi smirked as she continued her barrage.

"System cannot sustain further damage. Commencing defensive maneuvers," KR0-K0W stated as he flew into the air.

Izumi then appeared and threw two sticks of dynamite at KR0-K0W, however, the rain immediately defused them. Sensing no danger, KR0-K0W opened his mouth and activated his vacuum, only to be struck by a massive bolt of lightning.

"ERROR ERROR 404 404 ERROR ERROR!" KR0-K0W stated as his circuits fried and his vacuum stopped.

"Looks like the metal rods I painted to look like dynamite did the trick. Now let's finish him off," Hanabi thought as she stuffed a ton of explosives into KR0-K0W's open mouth.

"Izuhana always ends things with a bang," Izumi smiled as KR0-K0W blew up in a fireball.

This time, he had been finished off for good.

"So they finished him off before he could escape. Well, that is on the Roboborg union," Yuugen scoffed.

Suddenly, he felt himself getting punched in the face before he went flying through the air.

"You healed fast. Well, now I can quash you when you're at full strength," Nero grinned as he appeared and punched Yuugen down into the ground.

"My, it feels like I'm getting left out," Dastard sighed as he perched atop Ryokoma's roof.

"I am still here," Alice glared.

"Ah, but I thought your daughter wished to settle things with you."

"Nah, Masaru doesn't want me killing anymore. Besides, I don't care about besting her in a fight. I already did," Rika shouted up from the terrace.

Alice then appeared before Rika.

"Well, there was one thing I wanted to do with you, mother," Rika glared as she held up a ball of mochi.

"And this?" Alice glared.

"It's a mini mochi surprise. I at least wanted you to try my cooking once."

"The microchip your father put in me prevents-mmph!?"

Before Alice could react, Rika had thrown the mochi ball into her mouth. She attempted to spit it out, but upon tasting it, began to chew and swallow it.

"It was good. Perhaps you really are suited for cooking more than killing," Alice stated as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"I could have that chip taken out of your skull."

"Sorry, but that's too good for a woman like me. Before your father captured and married me, I was Scotland's number 1 murderer. Unlike you I killed for pleasure, yet when that man captured and chipped me, I quickly became helpless. Now my daughters treat me as a sandbag or guinea pig. Well, perhaps this is my punishment for all the atrocities I committed. *Sigh* Good luck with your restaurant and future family," Alice smiled as Dastard beheaded her.

"At least you respected my decision in the end. Thank you, mother."

                                                                                  ...

"Grr, Alice's cybernetic eye stopped transmitting data. So she's been killed. Damn that weak woman," Yuugen glared as he stared down Nero.

"And now time for you to die," Nero snickered as he whipped out a portable music player. 

A song immediately began playing as I took my main form and began pummeling Yuugen, faster than the eye could see.

"What!? Why is some song playing!?" Yuugen grimaced.

"It's the intro song! Now you're dead!" I laughed as I launched Yuugen into the sky.

"Dark dragon emperor's air pressure pulverizer!"

"Damn him! He's not even making physical contact with me, yet the force that he's punching the air with is breaking my bones with ease," Yuugen thought as blood oozed out of his mouth.

I then summoned a hogoromo of black flames around me.

"Hogorokai! I'm going for overkill!" I sadistically laughed as I engulfed my hand in flames and blasted a hole through Yuugen's stomach with my punch.

Yuugen hurled up blood as he once again flew threw the stormy sky.

"Now time for the finisher," I grinned as I summoned my dark flame hammer-katana.

"No, it can't be! How could some nobody best me!? No, you are him, MURAMASA JOUZU!" Yuugen cried in terror.

"Dark dragon emperor's hammer-katana slice n' smash!" I shouted as I swung at Yuugen.

Yuugen was immediately slashed across the chest and sent flying again, he crashed through 20 buildings before losing consciousness.

"Now, I finish you off," I snickered as I made Yuugen stop flying and fall to the ground with a loud thud.

Yuugen then let out a loud scream as he was encased in  my dark flames of destruction.

"And now he's dead," I snickered as Yuugen was incinerated by the flames.
