R2 beaten up by Moriarty

"Are you familiar with Yotsuya Kaidan, Hale?" Moriarty doubled the speed of his jabs, heavyweight punches slipping through Hale's defenses and tenderizing his flesh. "The greatest kabuki play? The wicked Tamiya and the jealous Oume conspire to murder Tamiya's wife, Oiwa. Oume was envious of her beauty, Tamiya simply tired of her. They melt her skin with poisons and murder her in her home, just for that! Out with the old, in with the new, eh? Could there be a more fitting place for you to die?"

Saxton was getting pushed back by the assault. The actors dove out of the way as the two traded blows, strength almost even, but Hale's injuries beginning to take their toll...

"So the heroes die and the villains live happily ever after?" Saxton smashed a haymaker into Moriarty's face, only enough to bloody his nose. "What kind of rotten story is that?"

Moriarty retaliated with a kick to the throat that made Hale spit up blood. "Ah, but Oume returns as a vengeful spirit, and drives the two of them to their deaths! A perfectly bloody tale! Tragically, you won't be coming back. I've mathematically proven your death!"
