Without notice, a warrior suddenly leaps out and swipes the female ninja out of his path. She lands safely on her feet, but dazed from the blow.
He looks and notices Satcher gone... He turns to the female Ninja.
Fallen - Surely you didn't think you could defeat me? You had to have known it was a clone.
Without speaking she rises from the ground and jumps in the air to attack him with kunai.
A smirk grows on his face and he utters just a few words...
Fallen - Admirable... But I have to stop them from saving the village.
Right when she was going to release the kunai, she was hit from behind and fell to the floor unconscious. The clone was to blame for that.
Bandit # 2 - Sorry for cheap tactics, but I don't have time to linger here, fighting a weaker opponent.
The group of Bandits look at him, confused, and immediately begin question.
Bandit # 3 - Fallen! What do you think you're doing? You were supposed to wait for De-....
Fallen just leaped onto his horse. The clone disappeared from above the unknown woman's body. He rode off without answering.
Meanwhile...
Satcher and the group are running towards the path, confused about what just happened.
Satcher - I don't know what to think of this situation, but I didn't like the look of that woman's eyes.
Samuel - What's going on here, anyway? Why does that guy want to stop us from saving the village...
Satcher - (Looking back) I don't know, but apparantly he's no pushover... Because he's headed right for us...
With blood dripping down his right arm, Fallen was chasing the group. The group immediately didn't know how to react. Running was an option, but he was on horseback while they were on foot. They knew inside that the only option was to fight him.
Satcher - Alright... I was hoping we would save time by running straight to the dam, but apparantly that isn't so.
He reached into his robe and pulled out a large bastard sword. Satcher is a warrior?! And apparantly a strong one too.
Satcher - You youngin's go on ahead, I'll catch up later...
The group left slowly, because they didn't know that leaving their leader was a good idea. After their departure, Fallen caught up... But he immediately stopped at Satcher's invisible border.
Satcher - You're smart... You knew not to try to pass me.
Fallen - There's no way I'm going to leave myself open to that... Plus, you're stronger than you look.
Fallen knew his own strength, and he didn't want to pull out his weapon. But inside he knew that regardless of having weapon or not, he wasn't as strong as the warrior that he was facing. He knew a good fight was to come, but he also knew that if he didn't find away to flee battle with Satcher, he would be defeated, and fail his mission.
Satcher - You sure do think a lot.... For a fool!!!
Satcher immediately rushed at Fallen....
