The Start of it All

[RyderHakubi]

Strapping his guitar over his shoulder, Ryder backpedaled and pulled his railgun back out.  Grinning madly, he fired a few shots at the charging Ace... leaving sonic booms in thier wake.

[acetalon]

Ace reacted as fast as he could, throwing up another shield.  The amount of power he could put in it was minimal, and after the first rail and its sonic boom the rest sliced through like a Kaos goes through planets.  Really easily.  

The second missed by a mere inch and the third struck home.  

"F%($ you Ryder!"  Ace snarled, planting his knees into the ground and kept the rail from penetrating his skin by clamping his hands over his.

"Sweet mercifull  %^*& it burns!" Ace gritted his teeth.  

After a few looong moments of skidding across the ground his moment his momentum stopped suddenly by a large rock.

When Ace stood up, he slammed the rail shot into the rock.  He had a maniacal glint in his eye as he clenched his intensely burned hands.

"Ryder.  I'm not going to just hurt you.  I am going to Rip. you. apart.  slowwwwlllyy."

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder suddenly stopped... and collapsed...

[acetalon]

"Don't think that fainting is going to save you from my wrath!  GET YOUR ASS ON YOUR FEET BEFORE I MAKE SURE YOU NEVER USE YOUR FEET AGAIN!"  Ace screamed in his face, grabbing his collar and shaking him really, really hard.

[RyderHakubi]

"Ororororororororororororororororororororo????????????" Ryder said shakily... as Ace shook him...

[acetalon]

"DIE!"

Ace clenched his burning, pained fist, and prepared to smash Ryders face in.  He wouldn't even be satisfied until that rock behind Ryder's head became dust from the impact of Ryder's head against it.

[RyderHakubi]

"WHAT DID I DO!!!!" Ryder shouted in despiration...

[acetalon]

"LOOK AT MY GODDAMN HANDS AND SAY THAT AGAIN!"  Ace socked Ryder.  All he could think of was how nice it would be to sculp Ryder's face into that rock.  By beating his face against it enough to form the shape.

[RyderHakubi]

Pulling out his railgun, he pointed it into Ace's chest and choked out, "Let... me... go..."

[acetalon]

"Do it.  COME ON! FIRE YOUR GUN!  I REALLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ANYMORE!"  Ace was furious.  He didn't care that
at such close range the gun had a small chance of missing.  he couldn't very well block the shot either.

"DO IT!  Do it, and I'll make sure you never remember Saturn!"

Ace flipped a kodachi out and aimed to jam it in the railgun's barrel.

[RyderHakubi]

A memory flashed...

"Hotaru-chan?" Ryder muttered as he lowered his gun...

[acetalon]

"AHHHH!"

Ace punched forward and smashed the rock right next to Ryders head.

"Dammit!"  he said, shaking his head.  Ace sighed.  He missed Saturn.  She'd probably never forgive him if he killed Ryder.  

"Your still gonna pay for burning my hands, Ryder, but whatever.  I'm going to go find Tomas.  Hey Kwok!"  He shouted over to where Kwok was.  "We need to finish our family reunion!"

[Kwokinator]

"Fine, fine..." Kwok grumbled.  Making his way over to Ace, he wrapped an arm around his neck, and half-dragged, half-carried Ace off.

"C'mon, let's go... Ryder's had enough..."

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder stood up and brushed off the dirt on his pants... following the pair, he wondered, "Who's Hotaru?"

Shrugging, he pulled his guitar off his back and absently looked at it... wondering where he got it from...

[Carthrat]

"Yo. Ryder, right?"

Carthrat sauntered up next to Ryder, hands in his pockets.

"You acted a little crazy back then.. then ya snapped out of it. Like you were someone else. Then ya snapped out of it.. some weird kind of amnesia you got there."

Carthrat took out a pack of ciggarettes and lit one up. "Smoke?"
