Martial Arts Madness

Ohjaz saw the frantic look on Shausse's face. He knew...

The old cat man returned Shausse's expression with a wise look and zipped his lips as if to say: <Shausse-san... You know I'm not that kind of person. Trust me, like old times. >

Little Ukyo still had her face buried in Ohjaz's fur, and did not see the reassuring gesture Ohjaz conveyed to his former love.

Shausse sighed in relief... then she heard a cheer coming from the arena.

"And the Match goes to Shussemaru and Rajain Loudaekabal!"

*Tizzy, who had gone off to get snacks, returned to the stands to watch the rest of the day's matches.* "Hmm..." *He looked around until he spotted a good seat.* "I can get a great view from up there." *He started to climb the long set of stairs then fell asleep without warning, sending him tumbling all the way down the stairs and smashing to the low wall at the bottom. Surprisingly, he was still asleep.*

Ukyo was distracted by the sudden loud bang, and factoring in her now childifed boy, her thoughs left her mind, as she ran out to see what it was.

Ohjaz watched the child run outside...how luckly she is really, he thought, being able to forget such things so quickly...
He looked over at Shausse who looked heart broken
"She remebers something...i'm sure of it...."

Yreka shook her head as Tizzy fell down the stairs 'Silly boy." She mumbled as Sith came back with a can of pepsi.

"here -pants- you -pants- go." He huffed, trying to catch his breath.

"Took you long enough." Yreka winked as she begain to chug her suger pop.

Man, I can't believe how addicted she is to Pepsi! If it was up to me she wouldn't be touching the stuff...hmm, hey, anotehr thought. Since Lil' Gorgie los, I got the whole room to myself tonight and no more awful smells! Sith smiled as he sat beside Yreka and stared at Tizzy "Let me guess...he fell asleep"

"Bingo." Yreka sighed, scracthing her cheek

*By the time Tizzy woke up the matches were over and it was getting dark. After taking a moment to wonder how he had ended up at the bottom of the stairs, he shrugged and headed inside to find something to eat. The crowds of the previous night had thinned considerably with only two of the original four divisions remaining.*

"Hey, about time you woke up." *Sith called from a nearby table.* "Thought you were going to spend the night out there."

*Tizzy ignored him and began filling a plate with food.*

"Anyway, it won't be long now. Just another day or two until I'm crowned the champion."

"Hah, you'll have to get past me first." *Tizzy set down the plate and pulled out his mallet.*

"And who says I can't?" *Sith pulled an entire oven out of his back pocket.*

"Bring it on!" *Tizzy grinned.* "No way I'm losing to someone who's secrete weapon is a spork!"

*Fortunately, or was it unfortunately, a pretty girl happened to walk past, causing Sith to lose both his concentration and his grip on the oven, which promptly slipped, smashing him into the ground.*

"I don't have to beat you." *Tizzy laughed and grabbed his food.* "You seem to do a pretty good job of it by yourself." *He turned and walked over to sit with Ukyo and Ohjaz.*

Ohjaz smiled as Tizzy approached. Tizzy just waved respectfully and sat down, gobbling his food.

Guybrush was nearby... eating bugs off the floor. Ukyo was going to turn her head in Guybrush's direction, but Ohjaz wisely blocked her view with an embarrased smile. Ukyo laughed and returned to her dinner.

At least her appetite is coming back...Ohjaz thought.

Ohjaz noticed a little commotion accross the banquet hall. It looked like Yreka was hoarding all the Pepsi again.

As for Sith... The poor guy was struggling to get the oven off his back. "This isn't helping with the ladies..."he moaned.

Ohjaz shook his head and continued eating. What other oddites were in store for this tournament?

Ukyo reeled back as food splattered over the table.

Tizzy fell asleep in his food.

*Tizzy awoke the next morning in his room but with no memory of how he'd ended up there. For a moment he looked around for his roommate then remembered that he'd been elimated during the previous day's matches.* "Well," *Tizzy stretched,* "the tag team was interesting. I wonder what they have planned for today."

*Ten minutes later he reached the cafeteria. Surprisingly enough, he was the first one there. Tizzy was just about to get his food when the familiar voice of the announcer came over the loudspeakers.*

"Your attention please. In order to produce a corny semblance of suspense, the rules and match ups for round 3 will be announced in the arena at ten o'clock this morning right before the round starts. Thank you."

Ukyo awake in her room, she glanced over at Shausse's futon which was unslept in. She had not come back all evening.
Ukyo began to look out of the window of her room into the newly risen sun. Morning
An odd site greated her. A tall, blone haired girl was having an argument with what looked like Shausse in the gardens outside there room.
The woman began to yell at Shausse, but Ukyo could not her what
"Hay! What are you two doing! Leave Shausse all!" yelled Ukyo out of the window
The beautiful girl paused to look up at Ukyo and on seeing her, she turned deathly pale.
Blinking at this reaction, Ukyo took a slow step forward and asked, "What are you doing to Shausse! Who are you!"
The girl didn't answer and instead began to back away, looking as if she was about to make a run for it.
It was then that a voice sounded in the air.
"Your attention please. In order to produce a corny semblance of suspense, the rules and match ups for round 3 will be announced in the arena at ten o'clock this morning right before the round starts. Thank you."

Ukyo looked away at the speacker, then back at Shausse and the blone...but both of them where gone
"That was weird...."

((Time for a little foreshadowing... :suspicious: ))

*Tizzy was taking advantage of the still empty cafeteria and grabbing all the good food before the crowds came. Seeing an oppertunity, he also grabbed all the cans of Pepsi, figuring he could sell them to Yreka later.* "Hmm... I wonder what type of battles we'll have today. Tag team was fun. Maybe it'll be battle royal or..."

*Tizzy was so busy thinking about different match types that he didn't notice the shadowy figure standing behind him. For a time the stranger just stood there looking impressive and believe me, being shadowy in a brightly lit room is impressive, then he turned and vanished.*

*CRASH!!!*

*Or rather he tried to vanish. Tizzy turned at the sound to see a shadowing stranger grumbling under his breath as he pulled himself off the ground and glared menacingly at the door he had just ran into. After a moment the stranger spotted the large sign that said PULL, pulled open the door and disapeared into the hall.*

"Ok... That was strange..."

Ukyo shruged and began to get changed. It took her a consideable amount of time as she had to place all her hidden weapons on her person as well.
After 2 hours she was ready and headed for the cafitirea to pick up some breakfast?
She noted Tizzy and a few other seaating, but no Shausse.
It was nice and quite. Ukyo happly picked a few things up from the food table and headed for Tizzy.
What a nice lull in activaity?perfect to wake up in
It was a lull that lasted precisely five seconds
"Hi Tiz-"
Before she could even finish she was interupted by a bizarre event.
The sight of a flying pig fighting two very angry looking girls.
There was no doubt about it. The pig was flying and it was flying with a very good pair of white feathered wings which had the span of an eagle. Without the wings the pig itself looked normal. It was your average pink pig. Except that it had those huge wings. Well, that and the fact it was fighting the two girls.
The girl leading the attack was svelte with a trim athletic figure. She had her long raven hair pulled back into a high ponytail and wore a face of certain irritation which conveyed itself clearly in her flashing violet eyes.
Her clothes consisted of a teal gymnasts body glove. The gymnast was currently involved with trying to wrap the flying pig up in a ribbon that matched the colour of her outfit .
As the gymnast did this her companion, an incredibly statuesque girl with white blonde hair and glowing cobalt eyes, dodged the dive bomb attacks from the flying pig as she tried to grab it.
The blonde had her hair pulled back in a braid which somehow seemed to accent her exotic beauty. Unlike her friend the blonde dressed entirely in traditinal japanise robes.
Out of the two, the blonde appeared to be the exalting the most in this mutual attack on their strange foe. As she leapt about trying to catch the flying pig she moved with such speed that it was difficult to track her movements.
In such a motion, the blonde bounded into the air to leap onto the flying pig's back. The flying pig paused in its flight before it released a horrifying squeal of anger then flew high into the atmosphere with the blonde clinging to it. It was deathly silent for several minutes, when suddenly the blonde came plummeting out of the sky still holding onto the flying pig's back. They hit the ground with a thunderous crash and upon their landing the gymnast quickly ran to the blonde's side.
"Asuka!" yelled the gymnast in horror
The blonde jumped up from the pig who was Kod on the ground in a crature
"Don't worry Neko, Im fine. Really"
Ukyo staired on in amazment, her plate down dropped on the floor in shock, as Asuka kicked the pig one last time.
"Stupied pig, I told mom not to let him come. When I get my hands on Shinmaru hes dead"
"Your over reacting ever so slighty Asuka" spoke Neko as she rolled up her ribben
"I'll go and get Shinmaru to get this foolish creature, fear not, mother will be made aware of this insident"
"And where is mom anyway, shes been gone since this morning"
"She said she needed to talk to an old friend, would meet us later"
"Whatever...come on, i'm starving"
The two girl left the pig in its hole, and walked over to the food table, ignoring everyones shocked expressions.

Ukyo for her part was still staring.
"what the??"

Ohjaz sensed something was wrong... very wrong...

Might have been the goulash he had for breakfast this morning.... the grass he had been meditating on had just turned brown.

He got a transcript of the the morning's announcement after his breakfast and he was mulling over the odd things that had been ocurring... and he worried for the new friends he had made, and the old ones he had encountered.

Something was wrong indeed...

Ohjaz's ears pricked up by instinct and he whirled around, holding up a cowbell and a gong mallet. A shadowy fellow was hiding behind a tree. The old feline just glared at the intruder... Then intruder skeetered away--- sneezing... immensely...

The old black cat just blinked... then returned to his meditations

(I thought up something for Yreka and why she's addicted to Pepsi :))

"Your attention please. In order to produce a corny semblance of suspense, the rules and match ups for round 3 will be announced in the arena at ten o'clock this morning right before the round starts. Thank you."

"Hm...that's soon. We should go now Sith." Yreka decided to grab some pepsi to hold her till then.

"Sounds go-" he was cut off with a high pitch scream.

"ALL THE PEPSIS ARE GONE! I'M DOOMED!" Yreka freaked out

"So, it's only for a few hours. Not like you're going to die..." Sith tried to calm her down.

"I AM GOING TO DIE!" Yreka poited a finger as he snapped off

"HOLY SHMEEPS!" Soth gasped

"Now can you see why I always drink pepsi?" Yreka twitched as her other fingers slowly fell off

"Um...will they grow back?" Sith asked, getting a little freaked out

"Yeah...when I drink another pepsi...WHO TOOK THEM ALL?" He yelled as she was left with thumbs

"Tizzy took them all...mumbling something about selling them to...Yerki?" Guybrush hopped from under the table.
"Yerki? You must mean Yreka. Wait...Tizzy? he is SO dead!" Yreka growled as her palsm started to melt away.

"Wait...why were you under the table?" Sith asked as Yreka ran off, yelling for Tizzy.

"What else? Scraps!" Guybrush started to chow down on an old pizza crust.

"Ew...." Sith held his stomach, following Yreka.

"Eh, his lost...and more for me!" Guybrush went back under the table, finding some jello

*Tizzy meanwhile, had finished eating and gone to the arena and wait for the matchups. Although there were still fifteen minutes to go, the place was already packed. A moment later he heard an enraged scream coming from the cafeteria.* "Sounds like Yreka noticed that all the Pepsi is gone." *He hefted a very large sack.* "I bet I can get a couple hundred for all of these."

Post by **shauni** » Fri May 06, 2005 11:32 am

Asuka and Neko had left the cafe, as had Tizzy.

Yreka was screaming out about something Pepis related while Guybrush ate of the floor.

Ukyo had fnished her food and wondered over to the pig, looking at its still KOd form.

She peted the pig entry and was suprised to find it cold to the touch.

She stood stroking it for a few moments when she heared a voice from above her
"Greating my lady fair, I see you have met my flying pig, Oneechan"
Ukyo looked up, and was met by the dight of a young boy at the rim of the crature. He was small in stature, not taller than Ukyo herself when in child form, he looked to be about 12 or 13. his hair was raven black and his eyes a sparkling green emerald.
"Your pigs call 'Big Sister?" added Ukyo, she was fluant in English and Japanise.
"Ha, not many please can speack Japanise"
"I take it your big sister cant"
"Bingo" he said with a smile.
"So..Are you Shinmaru?" asked Ukyo
"Yea, but howed you know my name?"
"I over heared the two girls say if before, which one is the pig named after? The blone or the gymnast?"
"That would be Neko and Asuka your talking about, and he named after Neko. She's always teasing him. It her folt he got mad, she called him ugly swin. Oneechan can understand the human langue. hes a magic pig"
"I kinda guessed...with it being a FLYING pig and all"
"Whats your name?"
"Ukyo Shaunisa"
Shinmaru fell silient
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing...I gotta go..."
The boy began to run of
"Hay wait! What about Oneechan?"
"I'll get it later!"
Ukyo sighed
"O well...I guess its none of my business... I better go get a seat at the arena for the anouchment"
She headed of past Guybrush who was still hunting for scraps, Yreka and Sith where already gone

Ten Days Earlyer.....

"Is anyone home?" a cheery voice came from outside
Winter paused as she passed the front doors to the dojo and was about to ask who was there when the cheerful voice interrupted her.
"Hi!" the voice called out again.
Blinking Winter lifted her head and stared with wide eyes at the figure of a gorgeous blonde girl standing on the high wall that surrounded the dojo. The blonde held the hand of another girl with raven hair who was floating beside the blonde wearing an equally cheery face.
"Is this the Anything Goes Hidden Weapons dojo?" asked the blonde girl.
"Yes, it is," replied Winter as she tried to figure out
why the two girls were standing on the dojo wall.
The blonde hooted loudly then said, "Yes!!! About time I got some eats!"

The dark haired girl shook her head at this then
turned her attention to Winter and said, "Might we be able to converse with the head of your household? We have information of some interest to your family and would like to share it with you all as expediently as possible."
"Of course," said Winter. She shifted back into her
polite mode and smiled then said, "Won't you please follow me? I'll take you to my father right away. He's the one that you'll want to see."
"We thank you humbly," said the dark haired girl asshe gave a formal bow.

Her blonde companion was still talking rapidly to herself about food and was only snapped out of this state after the dark haired girl gave her a poke in the side.

"Huh?" asked the blonde.

"Pay attention Asuka," said the dark haired girl in a soft reprimand. "I've been able to gain a request to see the one who will be able to answer our inquiries. And you know what that will mean."

Immediately the blonde's cobalt eyes gleamed in
anticipation and the two girls leapt down to the ground to
join Winter.

Winter made her way back inside of the house while wondering about the nature of these two very strange girls that were visiting them. They couldn't possibly have anything to do with her Father's recent announcement. Or could they?

"Father," called Winter as she entered the sitting
room. "We have visitors."
"Visitors?" questioned Hikua eagerly as he leapt
to his feet. "Who is it Winter?"
"I'm not sure," said Winter with a smile "You'll have to
ask them yourself."
"Them?" asked Hikua as the figures of two girls
rounded the corner and met his gaze. "Who...?" Hikua trailed
off as he gaped at them. "Are you?"
"I am Neko Lee," said the dark haired girl. Shepaused then added lavishly, "A pleasure, I'm sure"
"I'm Asuka Lee," said the blonde as she looked
around distractedly. Her cobalt eyes narrowed and she demanded, "You guys got food right?"
Neko sighed and clasphed her head in her hands
"Please excuess my sisters rudness. We represent the martial arts school of 'Fist of the Virtuses Strike'"
Asuka smiled sweetly at Hikua
"Its a mouth full, we just call it The School of Virtueses Strike for short"
"Yes...how...informal my sister is, is she not?"
Asuka scowlled at Neko, which she retured with a smug grin
"Our school has 6 viriations on its style, each represented by a different hure to the school."
Winter sat down next to her father
"Yes...well...as interesting as all this is, what does it have to do with us?"
"A member of our school has defected, her name is Shausse, we beleve she has resently been here"
"You mean Ukyo's mom?" asked Winter inosently
Neko's eyes glimmered at the sentance
"So, the defecter has been here"
She nudged Asuka who glanced at her
"What now?"
"Please, show our kind hosts the item you have brought"
Askua sighed, then reahced inside her robes, bringing out an object that fitted perfectly into her delicate hands, until she flipped it and it unravled

A cord. A long cord, of bright crimson silk, with a tiny
golden band of thread ringing it near either end. A beautiful cord, a
cord of exquisite workmanship (if that was the correct term), a
veritable paragon among cords.

Yet -- only a cord.

Winter frowned at her guests. "And what, pray tell, is this?" She shook the coiled cord, emphasizing the object of her bewilderment.

An amused, condescending smile flickered across Neko's
face. "It is a cord, dear girl"
"I know that."
There was no anger in the words, for that, she
knew, would only encourage her. "What I fail to see is how this...cord... might interest us."
"You will see...watch the 3rd round matches at the arena...and you'll see why this is so important"
