Desperado

Okisato opened the game by moving his pawn to e4 while Gyro moved his pawn to d6. He followed by moving his pawn to d4 while Gyro opted to move his knight to f6. Okisato then brought his knight out to c3 followed by Gyro moving his pawn to g6.

"I bet he's going to move a bishop to g7," Okisato thought as he moved his knight to f3. Sure enough, Gyro moved his bishop to g7, exactly as he had predicted.

Okisato quickly moved his bishop to c4 followed by Gyro castling on the king's side. Okisato castled next, setting the stage for the oncoming battle.

"Now we begin the advance," Gyro thought as he moved his pawn to c6.

Okisato shrugged and moved his pawn to d5.

"Amateure," Gyro scoffed as he moved his bishop to g4.

"No, it's amateurish to think that would work. Back to d7 you go," Okisato said as he moved his pawn to h3.

Gyro clicked his tongue in frustration as he did just as Okisato said and moved his bishop to d7.

Mimoko meanwhile watched the game from above. "Tanabe-kun, please don't make any unnecessary moves. This guy will destroy you if you do," she thought.

"Now time to get down and dirty," Okisato thought as he moved his pawn to e5.

Gyro immediately captured the pawn at e5 with his d-pawn, followed by Okisato capturing the pawn at e5 with his knight.

"Fool, I've got the advantage," Gyro thought as he captured the pawn at d5 with his knight.

"No, I'll still win the skirmish," Okisato thought as he captured the knight at d5 with his knight.

"Well that's a free knight for me," Gyro snickered as he captured the knight at e5 with his bishop. "And soon, that other knight will be mine.

Okisato paused for a moment before moving his knight to the safety of e3.

Gyro scoffed and quickly moved his pawn to h5, followed by Okisato moving his rook to e1. "I think I'll frighten him a bit," Gyro thought as he moved his bishop to c8.

"Talk about smoke and mirrors. I'm not going to trade queens, nor will I give you the chance to," Okisato glared as he moved his bishop to d3.

"It's called limiting your movements. Do you see these fine gyroscopes constantly spinning atop me? I'm able to do this because I can control their movement to a tee," Gyro stated as he moved his bishop to e6.

"Sure, keep em moving," Okisato shrugged as he moved his knight to c4.

"They do not affect my concentration, rather they strengthen it," Gyro grinned as he moved his bishop to g7.

Okisato nodded and moved his knight to e5, not giving a care about Gyro’s explanation.

"Boy, I control the board," Gyro scoffed as he moved his queen to c7 as Okisato quickly moved his bishop to f4. "You think I don't see you eyeing my rook? Well I'm not going to break my formation," Gyro angrily thought as he moved his knight to d7.

"GOT HIM!" Okisato sadistically smiled in his mind as he captured the pawn at g6 with his knight.

"So when cornered, you settle for killing pawns. Well a knight- ...! ...Tch! Damn you," Gyro glared as he moved his queen out of the bishop's path to d8.

"Heh? I thought you weren't going to let me have that rook," Okisato sneered as he captured the rook at f8 with his knight.

"Y- You just- ... You weasel, so you have a hidden side too," Gyro glared as he captured the knight at f8 with his knight.

"Guess I'll go chuuni mode for this then. Check, Feather-bastard," Okisato snickered as he moved his bishop to h7.

Gyro glared before suddenly widening his eyes in shock as he gazed at the board."Damn you. DAMN YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" he roared as he captured the bishop at h7 with his knight.

"Now we shall make a trade good sir, oh wait you're not a good sir, you're an ugly feathered bastard in CHECK!"

Gyro gritted his teeth in frustration as he captured the queen at d8 with his rook while Okisato grinned and moved his a-rook to d1. As soon as Okisato took his hand off the piece, Gyro slammed his rook into the rook at d1, sending the piece flying towards Okisato.

"Whoa, you getting shocked already?" Okisato taunted as he caught the piece and captured the rook at d1 with his rook.

Gyro let out a frustrated roar as he captured the pawn at b2 with his bishop. The tables were quickly turning against him, however, the game was far from over.

"Tanabe-kun, this is where you absolutely CANNOT mess up!" Mimoko thought as she began to tremble.

"Now comes the slog," Okisato thought as he moved his bishop to h6.

Gyro's only viable move was to move his knight to f6, which he did. Then, Okisato began his attack by moving his rook to d8, putting the king in check. Gyro quickly moved his king to h7, forcing Okisato to move his bishop to the safety of g5. But it wasn't safe for long as Gyro slammed his king down on g6. Okisato countered though by moving his bishop to e3.

Gyro let out a sigh of relief as he began regaining his composure. "Seems he can't mate me with just a rook and a bishop. I've still got both my bishops and a knight; pieces that are versatile enough for me to turn this around. Besides, if we add up the points of the captured pieces, I'm ahead. The advantage is mine!" Gyro maliciously thought as he moved his pawn to b6.

"Seems I got excited too soon. There's still a ton of clean-up to do," Okisato thought as his normal expressionless persona returned while he moved his rook to a8.

"Knights can be one of the most versatile pieces on the board," Gyro snickered as he moved his knight to d5.

"Yeah, knights are a pain," Okisato growled as he moved his bishop to d2.

"You play sloppily, that's why you're losing. Well, perhaps when you're electrocuted to death, you'll see this failure flash before your eyes multiple times, along with Mimoko Inoue's disappointed look. Oh, how agonizing it must be to be a damsel with your life resting in the hands of this idiot" Gyro sneered as he moved his bishop to f5 and glanced up at Mimoko.

Mimoko responded with an angry muffled grunt as Okisato stared in silence for a few seconds before moving his pawn to c4.

"What a waste, I'll snuff out your petty pawns," Gyro snickered as he moved his knight to c3. "...! NO! I-"

"You took your hand off it, so the move stands," Okisato grinned as his sadistic persona began to bubble to the surface once more as he captured the knight at c3 with his bishop.

"Oh? Did you really think I'd be upset about THAT!?" Gyro maniacally cackled as he captured the bishop at c3 with his bishop. "Now you only have 1 rook while I have two bishops. Mate is imminent."

"Nah, I feel relieved that the knight is gone. I can easily handle two dumb bishops," Okisato calmly stated as he captured the pawn at a7 with his rook.

"So now you're pawn sniping. Futile," Gyro scoffed as he moved his king to f6 while

Okisato silently moved his rook to c7. "It won't work, I see what you're doing," Gyro said as he moved his bishop to e4.

"Pawns can be VERY useful," Okisato glared as he moved his pawn to f3.

"Not against two bishops," Gyro scoffed as he moved his bishop to e5.

"Like I said, pawns are very useful, even your own," Okisato stated as he moved his rook to b7.

"Well time for some payback then. Check!" Gyro glared as he moved his bishop to d4.

Okisato sighed and moved his king to h1. A confident smile began to form on Gyro's face as he moved his bishop to g6.

"Prideful before the fall," Okisato thought to himself as he moved his rook to c7.

"Intending to advance those pawns? Not happening," Gyro scoffed as he moved his bishop to c5.

"Check," Okisato glared as he captured the pawn at c6 with his rook.

"You really thought you had me? Well if you want something done right, you've gotta do it yourself," Gyro sneered as he moved his king to e5.

Okisato immediately moved his pawn to a4 eliciting a malicious smile from Gyro. "HAH! I told you your pawns would never make it," Gyro laughed as he moved his bishop to d3.

"Really?" Okisato asked as he moved his pawn to a5.

"Yes, go ahead and take the pawn! It will never reach my side of the board!" Gyro sneered as he moved his bishop to d6.

"Guess you like eating your own words. Now I win," Okisato calmly stated as he captured the pawn at b6 with his pawn.

"I think YOU'RE the one eating humble pie. What was that about my pawns being useful again?" Gyro snickered as he moved his king to d4.

Okisato pondered for a bit before opting to move his pawn to c5.

"Tanabe-kun," Mimoko thought as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"I bet he expects me to capture that pawn with my bishop. If I did that, he'd sacrifice his rook and eventually promote his pawn into a queen. I can deal with just a rook, but a queen would be troublesome. So I'll go with a safer move. Seems Mimoko Inoue can see it, my imminent victory, along with her death!" Gyro maliciously thought as he moved his king to d5.

Suddenly, Okisato burst into maniacal laughter. "Oh, you Desperado folks really are stupid. Guess you'll be getting two more big shocks before you die!" he laughed as he captured the bishop at d6 with his pawn.

"Why are you- ...!"

Gyro immediately went pale as he realized he was screwed.

"Heh? What's wrong? Thought you still had one bishop left," Okisato taunted.

The toy gyroscopes that had been spinning on Gyro's shoulders quickly fell to the ground with a thud as Gyro began to tremble.

"No, no, NO! I WON'T LOSE!" Gyro shouted as he captured the pawn at d6 with his e-pawn. "Now, move that damn pawn up! I'll deal with the queen!" Gyro frantically thought as Okisato moved his rook to c7. "NOOOOOO! I CAN'T LOSE! I WON'T LOSE!" Gyro frantically shouted as he moved his bishop to e4.

"Sorry, your bishop isn't worth capturing," Okisato maliciously grinned as he advanced his pawn to b7.

"EAT YOUR DAMN WORDS, TRASH!" Gyro shouted as he captured the pawn at f3 with his bishop.

"Fine, I'll slaughter you," Okisato glared with murderous intent as he captured the bishop at f3 with his g-pawn.

Gyro let out a terrified yelp, but managed to muster the strength to move his pawn to f5.

"Now you're dead; queen," Okisato glared as he moved his pawn to b8 and promoted it to a queen as Gyro clicked his tongue and moved his king to e5. "Sorry, no stalemate for you. Check," Okisato glared as he moved his queen to b2.

"I WON'T LOSE!" Gyro cried as he moved his king to f4.

"You're gonna drag this out. I hate a dragged out game," Okisato glared as he moved his king to g2.

Gyro quickly moved his king to e3, followed by Okisato moving his rook to c3. Without thinking, Gyro then moved his king to d4, followed by Okisato putting him in check again by moving his queen to b4.

As Gyro moved his king to e5, Okisato let out a sigh. "Guess your pawns can be a pain," he grumbled as he moved his queen to b5, putting the king in check once more.

Gyro moved his king to f6, prompting Okisato to move his queen to d5. A look of insanity spread across Gyro's face as he moved his pawn to h4.

"Is he that deluded that he thinks I'll stalemate him?" Okisato thought as he captured the pawn at d6 with his queen, putting Gyro's king in check and forcing him to move it to g5. "Now I gotta be cautious," Okisato thought as he moved his rook to c4.

Of the two possible moves he could make, Gyro opted to move the king to h5.

"Now I've got him," Okisato thought as he moved his queen to f8.

"I won't lose! I'm gonna DRAW!" Gyro cackled as he moved his king to g5.

"No, you're losing and getting mated. Check," Okisato glared as he moved his pawn to f4.

Now reality finally began to sink in as Gyro began to go pale and sweat an ocean. He nearly toppled his king by accident when he moved it to g6. "Was Mimoko Inoue crying back then because she foresaw all this!? No, even if she could, there was no guarantee the oni-tiger would be able to pull it- What am I thinking, she saw the path to victory! Damn her, DAMN HER!"

"Mate in three, check," Okisato glared as he moved his rook to c6 as Gyro trembled and moved his king to h7.

"Check, one move left," Okisato glared as he moved his queen to f7.

"Maybe he'll mess up. Maybe he'll mess up," Gyro uttered as one last grip of delusion consumed him as he moved his king to h8.

Okisato slammed his rook down on c8, before he allowed his sadistic persona to consume him. "CHECKMATE BA-KA!" he maniacally laughed.

The delusional smile plastered on Gyro's face instantly turned into a terrified frown. "No, NO! I CAN'T LOSE! THE ULTIMA-MASTER THE-"

Gyro suddenly felt time slowing down as a trap door opened beneath him, and dumped him towards the electrified water below. "So this is the end. I can only hope my colleagues prevent Mimoko Inoue from playing the Ultima-master, or that the Ultima-master can beat her or at least survive with a stalemate. I guess I should take solace in the fact that I will never have to live in the Mimoko Inoue era of chess," he thought.

With a mighty splash, broken by a loud scream, Gyro fell into the electric lagoon and was electrocuted to death. As his corpse floated away, the DESPER let out a puff of smoke as Okisato leapt off the vanishing platform and onto a walkway. Mimoko suddenly felt herself falling and let out a muffled scream before being caught in Okisato's arms.

"How'd I do, Inoue-senpai?" Okisato asked as he ripped the tape of Mimoko's mouth.

"For now, I'm just happy you won," Mimoko tearfully smiled.
