Another Day, Another Dollar

 

            “You will hand over control of the United States to me,” the evil New Samurai said as he held the U.S. president by the throat.

            “Over my dead body,” the president responded bravely.

            “If that’s the way you want to do things,” New Samurai tossed the president down and pulled out his black fire sword. “I like doing things the hard way.”

            “Tsk, tsk. You can never go a day without causing trouble, can you New Samurai?” a voice said off in the distant.

            New Samurai frowned, recognizing the voice, “Can’t you ever leave me alone?”

            “As long as there is evil in the World, as long as poor citizens cry for help, as long as…”

            “What are you Super Man now? Enough with this silly nonsense, come show your face, so I can destroy you once and for all.”

            “You can never play nice can you,” the voice lets out a sigh. “Fine lets get this over with.”

            Out from the shadows walked a man dressed all in white; in his right hand was a flaming white fire sword.

            “It’s Silver Samurai!” The happy president exclaimed.

            “Who else would it be? This damn person has been a thorn in my side since day one,” New Samurai said with anger in his voice.

            “Funny and here I thought it was the other way around. Lets see you are responsible for the death of my father, kidnapped my wife, caused-“

            “Enough whining, you are going to give me a headache.”

            “Poor baby, maybe you should go home and get an aspirin,” a slight smile appears on Silver Samurai’s lips, “After all I’m sure you don’t want to stay here and fight me. Lets see how often have you beat me. Really sometime I wonder why you try.”

            “Cocky, aren’t you?”

            “No, just confidant.”

            “You won’t be so confident after I slice off a few limbs,” New Samurai said as he charged Silver Samurai, black fire sword in hand ready to slice through whatever gets in it way.

            Silver Samurai easily parried New Samurai’s blow followed by a good old fashion karate kick to the back of the head.

            New Samurai wasn’t going to be thwarted so easily, he turned right around and charged Silver Samurai for a second time.

            “You never learn do you? Samurai White Fireball!” and with them words that Silver Samurai chanted so many times before, his body surrounded with white flames. The white flames grew bigger until eventually they engulfed Silver Samurai. Then with a sudden burst of energy the white flames transformed into one giant fireball, heading straight for New Samurai.

            The fireball hit New Samurai dead on, and then continued on its way until it eventually vanished against a wall. New Samurai was nowhere in sight.

            The president ran up to Silver Samurai and hugged him, “You did it! You saved my life and killed New Samurai.”

            “No if that was true, my life would be a piece of cake. But unfortunely, like so many times before New Samurai has retreated for now, no doubt planning his next plan of attack,” Silver Samurai frowned for a second, before giving a bright smile, “But hey it’s just another day, another dollar.”

            The president looked confused, “Hey wait who pays you?”

            “Oh yeah that’s right, I don’t get paid for this,” Silver Samurai frowned again.
