Part 220: Yahiko's True Fight 2
(The police and Yahiko stand at one end of the narrow street, behind a low barricade of rubble; Kujiranami at the other.)
Kujiranami (charging): BATTOUSAI!
Yahiko (thinking): His weapon's different--that's not a cannon. (aloud) Shinichi! What is that!
Shin'ichi: It's... It's called a grenade launcher--
(Kujiranami fires, blasting the barricade to pieces. His second shot is aimed at Yahiko on the roof.)
Shin'ichi: Though its force and range are less than that of the cannon, its rapid-fire is very effective--
Yahiko: Too slow!
(Shin'ichi catches him as he falls off the roof.)
Shin'ichi: So? How do we fight him?
Yahiko: That's obvious. We charge! (taking off) I've got his right side. You take the left!
Shin'ichi: Wait a minute. Can't we think about this a little?
Yahiko: We can't wait! The longer we wait, the closer he gets to town!
(He barrels forward.)
Officer: Wow, he's really going for it!
Officer: He'll kill him!
Officer: That's just insane!
Kujiranami: Battousai!
(He fires at Yahiko. Yahiko throws himself out of the way, rolls, and jumps in for another shot.)
(A series of shots throws broken boards and roof tiles in the air, but each time Yahiko seems to come away unharmed.)
Officer: He's avoiding each blast by the skin of his teeth. He can really move.
Officer: Yeah... but if he can't turn the tide, eventually he won't be able to dodge one of the rapid-fire attacks...
(Yahiko lands from his last leap a bare ten feet away from the barrel of the gun.)
Officer: He's gonna hit him!
Officer: I knew this was insane!
Yahiko: Shin'ichi!
(Shin'ichi sails out of nowhere to whack Kujiranami across the head with his staff.)
Shin'ichi: How was that?
(Kujiranami barely noticed the blow.)
