Day Four

Dante’s Abyss 2015 Finale
Doomguy, Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha rose to his feet. Someone else was dead—their body scattered to the winds by the marine’s gun.

There they stood—two man atop a mountain of corpses, and there would be only one of them who would walk away from this alive.

One was man driven by sorrow and anger, with the death of his comrades fresh in his mind.

The other was barely a man anymore, his rage having long ago supplanted any other emotions.

The BFG boomed.

The ninja threw himself out of the way. He handed in a crouch near Mjolnir and scooped up the weapon. A moment later, the hammer was airborne—a gray blur that hit the plasma gun with a thunderclap, breaking it apart but failing to compromise the clip. Discarding his weapon, the marine spotted the hammer nearby. He found it just as the lightning sword was flashing in the air above his head. Clutching it by the base of the handle and its head, Doomguy swung it up, intercepting the Ultima Weapon before it could split open his head.

Shoving back against his attacker, the marine knocked Sasuke off balance and swung for his kneecaps. As it had so many times before, the strategy was seamlessly, and the ninja swallowed down a scream as his legs fell out from under him. Doomguy wasted no time. He fell back and swung for the skull.

Sasuke rolled free from the hammer’s path. The weapon hit the ground with a wet smack, spraying mud out as the ninja made it back to his feet. He swung the Chidori Blade, and Doomguy ducked and lunged at him. The armored man slammed into the ninja, driving the air from his lungs as the two fell into the mud. A fist crashed into Sasuke’s cheek, crushing the done and splitting apart the skin. The ninja threw out a hand, his fingers reaching for his weapon, which lie inert in the mud nearby.

At that point, the hammer dropped—smashing the outstretched hand into wet ground.

The ninja ground his teeth together, stifling the scream as he jolted up and threw his good hand at his opponent’s face. Two of his fingers tore into the soft tissue of the marine’s left eye, and with that, he got a response that bordered close to pain as his opponent rasped and swung at him with the hammer. The blow was a glancing one that clipped Sasuke in the side of the head—enough to knock over the ninja, who scrambled a few feet before making it back to a vertical position. He turned as a bolt of lightning struck a tree somewhere nearby, illuminating the bloody visage of the marine.

Doomguy and Sasuke weren’t the type for banter.

They simple came running at one another—their eyes burning holes through each other.

A hammer swung through the air.

A ninja ducked and dove around his opponent, his broken body sustaining itself on little more than adrenaline and revenge. Sasuke rose and absorbed another vicious hammer blow that threw him backwards, but even as he felt a rib crack, the ninja smiled faintly as he hit the mud. Doomguy rushed in for the kill.

Sasuke grabbed for something half buried in the mud.

The hammer swung down as the ninja thrust his good hand forward.

There was a flash of lightning as the Ultima Weapon roared back to life, its blade tearing up through Doomguy’s chest as it reached its usual length. The marine let out a grunt as his grip loosened and the hammer smacked into the mud next to them. Sasuke stood up and pulled the crackling lightning sword out through the man’s chest.

Doomguy took a wobbly step forward, his eyes falling down to the hammer before looking back at Sasuke. Nothing would stop this man.

Nothing would ever make him stop.

The ninja swung the sword.

With a clap of thunder and a flash of light, the marine’s head hit the muddy earth in front of the clinic. It rolled to a rest, and even in death, the eyes still carried enough anger to burn holes through a weaker man.
