In The Realms of the Unreal

Chapter 15

Immediately after coming to life, the Oni swung the club it was carrying directly down at the group. Although the group managed to leap out of the way, the force of the impact was still devastaing enough to knock them off their feet.

As he pulled himself up, Mcclane whipped out his police handgun

"Take this you ogre fuck!" he yelled before firing a series of shots directly into the Oni's (not inconsiderably sized) body.

When Mcclane had finished firing his gun however, the Oni stared down at him before roaring. Mcclane then realised that not only had his shots not even scratched the Oni, but he'd just pissed off a several foot tall cannibalistic ogre.

"Well shit" he cursed.

A second later, Mcclane was forced to leap out of the way of yet another club smash which came very close to crushing him into a red mist.

While Mcclane retreated away from the Oni, Katsushiro saw his chance. He waited for the Oni to swing it's club. Then as it swung it near him, Katsushiro leaped forward and grabbed on the end.

As it raised it's club again to strike, Katsushiro leaped off quick as a flash and stabbed it right in the right eye. The Oni roared out in pain and attempted to swat Katsushiro who just barely dodged it and landed back on the floor.

Although it was slightly blinded, the Oni's ferocious demeanour didn't change at all and it soon came charging back at the group with it's club swinging wildly.

Despite the group's best efforts, they very rapidly found themselves backed into a corner.

A second later, the Oni swung it's club down, narrowly missing hitting Mulder in the process.

As Mulder dodged it, he stumbled over and collapsed onto the floor.

Picking himself up from the floor, Mulder noticed one of the torches attached to the wall had dislodged slightly, which he figured had been from the impact of the Oni's club.

Thinking fast, Mulder grabbed the torch and tugged it causing it to come loose. He then yelled "Hey big guy!"

As the Oni turned to the sound of Mulder's voice, Mulder lobbed the torch with every bit of strength he had. A second later, it struck the Oni's head and promptly ignited it. The Oni roared in pain as it's flesh bubbled and melted in the fire before stumbling over onto the floor with a terrific crash. The group stared

"Is it...dead?" Emma asked. A second later, she got her answer when the burned but still breathing Oni rose up from the floor and let out a mighty roar "Aw come on!" Jerry groaned

At this point, any chance of surviving the attack from the Oni seemed non existent. Any attack they'd thrown at it, it'd just shrugged off and it was now madder than ever. As it charged towards the Doctor (who was now backed against a wall) it all looked like it was curtains for the group.

As it raised it's club to crush the doctor into a fine red mist, the Doctor panicked. Without thinking he stabbed the Oni in the shin with the sharp end of the rune he'd picked up.

For a second it looked like nothing had happened.

Then the rune lit up and a second later, white light burst out of every pore on the Oni's body. It roared in pain as every bit of flesh and organ in its body burnt and melted away to nothing. The group could only watch in amazement as the creature was reduced to a burnt smoking skeleton.

A few seconds later, the light faded away and the Oni's charred skeleton collapsed to the ground. As the Doctor gently picked up the rune, Mcclane asked "What the fuck was that?"
