The samurai had his hands on his swords and was about to unleash his special move against us. We huddled behind the shield, trying to protect ourselves.
As he swung his swords simultaneously, the reverberating forces reached us. My brother and I held onto the shield to block the powerful move. The force was so great that even though the swords didn't touch us, we struggled to hold back the power radiating from afar.
The good news was that my brother was right: the shield blocked the power. But that wasn't going to be enough. I turned to my brother and told him what we had to do if we wanted to win this battle.
"We can block his power, but it won't be enough," I said. "The samurai is too strong for us to attack alone. We have to attack together if we want to stand a chance."
My brother agreed with me and was determined to win this battle. "I'm with you, brother," he said. "Lead the way."
