Chapter 14: Kitaro and Red Vs Marclaw!!

Summary
The chapter begins as Kitaro and Red sprint at Marclaw. Before they get to him, Marclaw rises a wall of earth with Storm. However Kitaro and Red manoeuvre around it and strike from both sides. Red with a boulder and Kitaro extending Kubo at him. He rises a wall at either side, and while it manages to stop the boulder for the most part, Kubo simply pierces through the rock and onwards. However there is no one past it as he had dropped to the floor below. Before Kitaro and Red even noticed, Marclaw came from beneath Kitaro, blasting the floor beneath at him, Kitaro is pelted by rocks before Marclaw floats his way up and strikes Kitaro in the chin. Meanwhile Kubo falls to the ground as he returns to its normal size, shouting "Kitaro" as he falls.

Red meanwhile is on the attack, catching Marclaw off for a second he is sent a few metres. Red continues with by pulling the ground beneath him and creating a spear that shoots upward at Marclaw, who dodges it, however more and more keep appearing. But then Marclaw uses the ground to propel him into the air and at Red. Arriving at quick speed he whips out a few daggers with Storm and sends them ahead of himself, forcing Red to be busy throwing them aside with his Storm while Marclaw gets into hitting range.

As he throws a punch, Kubo suddenly comes at him by extending itself while Kitaro has returned to his feet! Marclaw pulls himself back with Storm, in time to only receive a scratch on his nose. However, there was no time for error as Red then came after him with a kick. He manages to block it, but is sent metres backwards...

Everything stops for a few seconds as they all catch their breath and regain composure. Kubo returning to Kitaro's side as he walks beside Red.

They both exchange a glance and give a nod before turning towards Marclaw who speaks, "so you're intending to end it all in this next attack?!"

The final page establishes Kitaro and Red charging at Marclaw and both leaping into the air ready to strike as Marclaw awaits in confidence...
