Carth's magical adventure, ROUND TWO, MOTHERFUCKERS!

[Carthrat]

Carthrat rushes Guinock, aiming to plant a final flaming punch in his face.

Well, maybe not the flaming bit.

[Anastasia]

He raises his arms in a guard, not really ready for your rush. Bits of red chi form around your fist as it slams home. The crunch of his nose and forearms breaking is heard in your shot, and he flies back a few feet and does not rise.

"After a vicious, beautiful match, Carthrat Tanewaki has emerged the victor!"

As those words echo in your ears, your body registers several complains. Ouch.

[Carthrat]

"Beautiful?" mutters Carthrat, walking back out the arena and letting the Ring do its work..

[Anastasia]

Back in the ready room...

"Does contestant Carthrat Tanewaki require medical treatment?" This is the question asked by the robot there.

[Carthrat]

"No," replies Carthrat, beginning to feel hungry.

[Anastasia]

"Very well. Congratulations, and your prize may be collected from the cashier's office," it says, dismissing you.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat goes to collect his prize, then goes Tir-hunting..

[Anastasia]

After getting your money, finding Tir isn't too hard. He waves as you walk down the exit hallway. "Man, you drew a ki user," he asks. "Tough break."

[Carthrat]

"Yeah," replies Carthrat, shrugging. "He wasn't so tough."

[Anastasia]

"His fist says otherwise," he chuckles. "Anyway, you okay? A couple of those shots looked like they hurt."

[Carthrat]

"You're telling this to a guy who got hit by a speeding bus, man," replies Carthrat, shrugging. "I tell ya, it was nothing."

[Anastasia]

"Now what," Tir asks as you walk. "We made a decent heap of credits today, at least."

[Carthrat]

"Yeah, hand them over," replies Carthrat. "We are going to find a way to make more money."

[Anastasia]

Tir shrugs, handing over a C card.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat checks the cash on the C-Card.

"Remember how much I was making selling those explosive bullets back in '99?"
