Mitsuki offered a calm look at Hibiki, not even watching the swordsman fall to the ground. One down. He flicked his wrist up quickly and his sword left his hands, shooting out at Hibiki. He wasn't aiming for the man, though, letting the blade stick into the ground right in front of him. He was hoping the attack would throw him off even more.

Regardless, the shooter had to reload. He shot forward, closing the distance in only a few strides. Almost instantaneously, he lunged forward, landing lightly on the hilt of his sword. He swept his other foot up, striking the barrel of the rifle in the crook of his ankle and dragging it down so it would point at the ground. In the same movement, he leapt from his sword, spinning back to plant his other foot into the man's face. He grabbed the hilt of his sword as he passed, slashing down as he finished his spin to slice the gun in two.

As he landed, his sword came up, resting lightly against the neck of his foe. "Surrender and you can get medical attention for your friend," he stated. "Don't and you'll regret your choice."

Baku lifted his arm up, the cannon coming up with it. "This is the power of the Marines, boy. You would do well to remember that," he growled out, slamming the metal form down on the boy's stomach if Ryu didn't attempt to escape.
