Beating Up Ninjas

Jack searched the room for another weapon. On the wall behind him he saw a Ninja sword. Silently, he thanked the Federation decorator and grabbed the sword. Two of the Ninjas sprang toward him, their swords seeking his blood.

Jack centered his concentration in his sword, following what the Ninja masters at the Federation school had taught him. Then he slashed at the air in front of him, making the sword a blur of steel. Both Ninjas drew back in fear.

With graceful power, Jack thrust out his left foot in a karate kick and blasted away the sword of one Ninja, then stunned him with a chop on the neck.

The other Ninja lunged forward, driving his sword toward Jack's heart. Jack jumped aside and flipped the Ninja in the air, watching him crumble on the floor.

“Jack!”

It was Joe, calling him from across the room. He turned in time to see Joe heave the brass sculpture at two of the Ninjas attacking him. They sprawled back and fell, pinned down to the floor.

Jack started toward Joe to help him finish off the third Ninja. A sound at the door stopped them all in their tracks.
