The two fighters circle each other, occasionally throwing out a quick strike to test each other's defenses. Eventually the battle is joined in full force. It ends with Taki dodging a swing by Maul using his light saber that he thought would take off Taki's head. After completing her dodge, she moves within Maul's defenses and stabs one of her sais up through the bottom of Maul's mouth and through his head.
As Maul's body slumps lifelessly to the ground, Taki looks around wondering where she is. Her vision goes blurry until everything is black. Seconds later her vision becomes blurry again, gradually improving until she can see that she is now standing on the deck of a Spanish galleon. Standing not far away from her is:

Joe Armstrong
A huge wave rocks the galleon, knocking both off their feet. Armstrong manages to latch onto a mast, while Taki jumps atop the forecastle. Neither warrior knew how they got to the middle of the ocean on an ancient ship, but they both also felt the mission was to defeat the other.
"Might as well make this quick and clean" Amstrong thought to himself, as he left upon the forecastle to kill his foe. A quick swipe at Taki misses, and another brutal wave rocks the shop, flinging his sword out of his hand and into the Atlantic. This forces Armstrong to go in close with his hand spikes.
Taki blocks with her wrist guards and does a backflip. The next wave snaps a few masts and causes Taki to slip and fall to her knees. Armstrong, trips up Taki and she falls, a splinter from a mast piercing into her left arm. "First blood" Armstrong thinks to himself. Though wounded, Taki and Armstrong attack and block for 20 minutes as the ship rocked and fell apart.
Finally the two disengage and stand face to face several feet apart. Armstrong picks up a sharp shard of wood off the deck and Taki unsheathes Rekki-maru. The wood shard is no match for the magic sword and Armstrong is split in two.
Winner: TakiAnother wave hits the ship and disintegrates it. Taki is flung into the ocean and loses consciousness. She finds herself on the shore late at night, near some piers. Thinking she might need a little rest, she enters a
closed fish auction house. She hears the door open again after she sits down and facing her is:
