Rick Blader (Part 2)

About to fight Ringo Hayden and Tetsu. They came for the bounty on my head which is fifty grand.

In the training ground...

"Rick Blader, Crook, Joe Reel, you have three hours of training before you go and reinforce Ringo and Tetsu", said Guy.
The three of them agreed. Before that, they went on a talk.

The talk was simply the three of them squabbling about their abilities. They possessed unique powers of their own and each of them fit in different situations. The ability talk would help them understand their composition as this was the first time they were doing teamwork like that. Difficult enemies like Michael Black created a matter that reinforcements should be imposed under emergency. Guy proposed that he didn't want anyone to die in vain.

Meanwhile, in the desert...

"Iron Core!".

"Tetsu, what's that?", asked Ringo.

"Iron Core is a base for me to create shapes of iron in a short amount of time", said Tetsu.

"Can you make more than one core at a time?"

"No, not possible", said Tetsu.

While they were preparing themselves, Michael Black was about to attack them using a powerful blast.

"Get ready, Ringo, use your defense ability",

Then, Michael Black shot the blast towards the pair. Ringo already prepared for the outcome, a shield projected, covering the vicinity of Ringo and Tetsu. Soon after, Tetsu created a javelin through the Iron Core.

"Take this!", yelled Tetsu as he threw the javelin.

Surprised, Michael Black dashed to the side and canceled his blast.

Meanwhile in the exchange, Rick, Crook, and Joe were about to proceed to Ringo and Tetsu's assistance.

"Hey, be careful out there. Make sure you successfully escort them back, at least you all have to survive in one piece", said Golden Retriever.

"We'll make it. With a cherry on top, we would also like to take Michael Black down, then we'll share the bounty together", said Rick.

The three of them went on their way. They moved so casually that it felt like they prepared a plan to ambush Michael Black.

"Joe, you're the initiator, we hope you'll do your best", said Crook.

"Heh, I'm well-prepared. I'll surprise him in a way he'll never expect", said Joe.

" But he IS Michael Black, so he might--",

"Crook, fear not, we'll win this", said Joe.

"*sigh* Ever the optimist you are...", said Crook.

In the desert....
Ringo and Tetsu were still in a pinch because all they were doing had been defending. Ringo Hayden, with immensely powerful defensive abilities but not a single offensive measures, and Tetsu, iron manipulator with precise setups in order to strike his enemies. At this point, they were still holding off Michael Black's insanely powerful attacks.

"Tetsu, is your setup completed yet?",

"I'm trying to prepare a form, so please hold off a little longer", said Tetsu while channeling his powers.

Meanwhile, Michael Black prepares his next big attack.

"Heh, see if you can defend from this!",
BOOOOOOMMMMM! As the sound was made, a huge blast zero-in on the pair. As usual, Ringo used his powers and protected both of them from danger.
The more powerful Michael's attacks were, the more struggling it was to replenish the lost energy in time. In the end, Ringo successfully blocked the next attack.
