Richard landed on his back and felt the air rush from his lungs. "Oh crap!" He mumbled, leaping to his feet. "Hey Onizuka, why don't you do stuff like that?" He asked his sword rushing back to the other side of the ring.
Onizuka sighed. "I already taught you how to do that by yourself."
Richard swung his sword at Justine as he shouted. "But all of the others can use there soul summons as a weapon. Why don't you?"
Onizuka appeared next to Richard and said. "Because you have to be strong enough to face challenges as they come. I'm not here to fight your battles, I'm here to teach you how to do it yourself."
Richard fell to the floor and pondered not getting up. But as he felt the last of his courage leaving him he saw Onizuka standing over him. "So, is that it?" He asked kneeling down over Richard. "You came all this way just to give up. You're just going to lay down and die, what about the others? Are you just going to let them get kicked out."
Richard took a deep breath. "No... I can't let them down." He said.
Onizuka smiled. "That's right kid. But you can't fight until you stand up."
Richard jumped onto his feet and shouted. "I can't let them down!" Onizuka disappeared and let Richard fight. Richard swung his sword at Dark, cutting him deeply. Then he grabbed Justine by the throat and slammed her into the ground. "Sorry about this." He said, punching he in the throat as hard as he could.
