tie.
    Keigo raised his iKatana and pointed it at the black-feathered man.
    “I’m so happy you could get here on time, Keigo,” said the crow man.
    Keigo took off his mask. “How do you know who I am?”
    The crow man cocked his head and pointed the handle of his iKatana at him. “Everybody knows the great Keigo of the Arashi.”
    Keigo lifted his sword, ready to strike at any second. “Who are you? Why do you disgrace the Arashi by wearing that uniform?”
    The crow man hopped up onto the conference table and clicked across with his black bird feet.
    “You think you’re so strong, don’t you, Keigo?” said the crow man. “But you’re not the best. You’ve just made everybody think you’re the best.”
    The crow pulled a black chained-sickle out of his suit. Keigo recognized the weapon. He looked up at the crow man. Then he recognized the suit he was wearing. He recognized a tone in the crow’s voice.
    “Susumu?” Keigo said.
    The crow paused. It was as if he was smiling, but no smile could be seen with a beak on his face.
    Then the crow attacked. Clinking metal sounds ripped through the air as the chain sickle flew at Keigo. Jumping two feet back, Keigo knocked the sickle out of the air with his iKatana.
    “Susumu was a fool,” said the crow. “He no longer exists. I am Crow.”
    Crow struck again with his sword. Keigo dodged. The sword sliced less than an inch away from his throat.
    “Susumu,” Keigo said, dodging the attacks. “What have you done to our executives?”
    The sickle was reeled back toward Crow’s black claw fingers, cutting into Keigo’s shoulder.
    “They were fools, too, Keigo,” said Crow. “It is shameful to be a fool. I put them out of their misery.”
    The two Gomen ninja joined the fight, forcing Keigo to defend against all three men, but Keigo would not yet take the offensive.
    “Susumu, you are my closest friend,” Keigo said. “What have you done?”
    Crow twirled his sickle like a helicopter blade, holding it in front of him as if using it as a shield.
    “What have I done?” said Crow. “What have you done? I’m not the one responsible for turning these men into fools. It was you. You made them believe that you were the strongest ninja in the industry when we both know that you are not. You have disgraced yourself and Arashi Industries. Neither of you should be allowed to live.”
    Keigo composed himself. “I see. You could no longer advance with me in your way. I understand.”
    Then Keigo sliced the sword-arm off of one of the Gomen. Blood exploded onto Keigo’s red suit. The Gomen stood there, shrieking in agony, staring at the red fluid geysering out of his stump across the conference table.
    “If killing me is the only way you can prove your honor,” Keigo said, “then I must not deny you this fight. As my closest friend, I owe you this much.”
    Crow’s sickle stopped twirling and shot out of his hand at Keigo, wrapping around his sword arm.
    “Fuck honor,” Crow said. “This is about revenge.”
    Crow yanked on Keigo’s arm and pulled him closer. As Keigo was reeled into range, Crow swung his iKatana and carved a wedge of meat out of Keigo’s thigh. Blood mixed with his burgundy uniform.
    Keigo cried out and slashed at Crow with his iKatana, but Crow’s new body was faster than his old one. The sword passed over his feathered head and decapitated the screaming armless ninja beside him.
    Crow back-flipped onto the conference table and swept the room with his chain sickle. Keigo ducked, but the other Gomen ninja coming up behind him was not fast enough. The chain wrapped around the ninja’s neck three times and then the sickle stabbed into his throat. The Gomen wheezed and drooled blood, struggling to free himself from the metal noose.
    Keigo took the opportunity to lunge at Crow. He jumped up on the table and slashed at Crow’s chest. The red suit ripped open and black feathers spilled into the air. Crow’s red tie dropped to the ground. The
