A Door that Opens Part 11

Rinji gazed at the gigantic, monstrous card creature. It bared a court jester's cap, and seemed to be sewn together from many different card knights. Its eyes were nonsexistant, but what sockets were left stared down at Rinji. It clenched its giant fists, and growled.

Rinji: What is this? What chamber of hell did you crawl out of in such a hurry, that they did not finish your stitches, nor put in your eyes?

The Executioner roared hard enough to shake all that was in his wake. Rinji held out his arms in front of him as the wave crashed into him, causing the tree behind him to shake, along with his clothes to flap in the wind. The monstrosity took one step toward him, and that was enough.

Rinji: Rinji! [Thrusts both claws forward] Ni Hira Gachan!!!!! [He sent off a huge blair of haki energy that blasted directly into the beast, the energy passed through him, shaking his insides and causing him to stumble backward]

This gave Rinji enough time to turn and run into the garden. Ahead of him, through the grass and trees, he could see a thick patch of huge brambles. He hurried through all of the roots, jumping over the large branches on the ground and even through the tall grass. However, just six yards away from the bramble plants, a gigantic fist barreled down at him, and struck the ground behnd him and caused a blast that caused him to fall forward and hit his head on a tree. There were three more steps before Rinji got up from the ground, and stumbled farther, his head completely unbalanced and unable to concentrate, but all he knew was that he had to move forward. He tripped just as he got to the front of the brambles, a loose rock slipped under his foot and caused him to stumble forward, falling into the brambles. The monster smashed into the brambles, and roared in pain as the huge thorns stuck into its shoulder and arms, one even penetrated his cheek, causing him to bleed profusely.

Rinji rolled over just in time to see the creature pull away from the thorns, blood bursting from his huge wounds, and even some of the bramble vines pulled up from the ground, stuck to his chest and shoulder. The monster screamed and ran, apparently not accustomed to pain.
