After the flashback.

You knew you couldn't do this by yourself, so you called on them for a little help...

You felt a slight gust of wind before feeling your body become considerably lighter. A blue and green glow shone from your left and your right arm. All three of them took their weapons in hand and readied themselves for what was going to happen, little did they know that you weren't the only thing that they should be keeping an eye out for. Doku and Daku took the girl a the puppet boy, distracting them from you and short stuff (even though he's taller than you)

You smirked behind your mask, and readied your swords. You dashed toward him, slashing a blade right in front of him. You were so close that it would've cut his chest right open, if only he were normal. A wall (sorry I can't help but think of trump when I write that) of sand acts like a barrier between the two of you, shielding him from your attacks. You back away, creating distance from you and him. He shoots his hand forward, shooting sand in a sharp of an arm toward you. It nearly reached you but with quick reflexes, you dodged the attack, but only by a second.

This kept repeating the same way over and over again. Your body began to feel numb, and it felt like all the strength all the energy that you once had was drained from you, like some one had zapped it out of your body, leaving you lifeless and empty.

We're......sorry.

The silent words kept repeating in your head, your eyes lazily looked around, both Doku and Daku had disappeared into little speaks of blue and green. You slid down the wall that you had been staying against this whole time. Your breath becoming heavy, your eyesight becoming hazy. Your limbs went limp as you closed your eyes. The last thing on your mind being the thought of failure.
