The Start of it All

[Carthrat]

Carthrat shrugged.

"Well, I think she is. I could be wrong."

A wistful look came over his eyes when Kwok mentioned the Hou'ou-ken.

"It's a broadsword... it's handle and blade are hot enough to melt lead just by touching it... it trails flames when I swing it.

I found it ages ago... heh. When I found it, I guess I was looking for something else. It's funny.

It's at home, now. I don't usually take it with me.. but I think I might have needed it in this world.

Pity I didn't count on it.."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shrugged. "No telling if she is or not until I meet her... again... I guess..."

"It sounds like a pretty cool sword," he nodded. "I wanna try it someday."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat laughed out loud.

"You wouldn't be able to lift it. The hilt is incredibly hot, like the heart of a phoenix. I can lift it, but then again, I'm.. er... special."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shrugged. "I guess not then... I was hoping to try it too..."

"What makes YOU so special?" he questioned. "Why can you lift it?"

[Carthrat]

"That... is for me to know and you to, maybe, find out," replied Carthrat, smirking.

"We're going! Come on, moron boy. Ace! Wait up!"

[Kwokinator]

Kwok growled and threw a punch at Rat.

"I'm NOT a moron!"

[Carthrat]

Carthrat wasn't a martial artist by nature. He was a brawler, a street fighter, and a regular pub patron.

Easily enough to take out Kwok in his current state.

Instead of simply letting the punch hit him (where it would take no effect), he move to the side, grabbed Kwok's wrist, and shoved his elbow up. HARD.

There was an audiable crack.

"Honestly. I patch up your wound and am going to get beaten up by your girlfriend later anyway, and you ATTACK me?

You really ARE a moron."

[Kwokinator]

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Kwok screamed in pain as his arm was broken in two.  Raising other arm in an effort to ward off the pain slightly, he instinctively released a ki-blast point blank at Carthrat's face.

[Carthrat]

"Gah!"

Carthrat stumbled back a couple steps, and when he recovered, raised an eyebrow.

"I'll give you a chance to back down. Not that I wouldn't mind kicking your ass, but we've got other stuff to do."

[Kwokinator]

"You're the one that started it!" Kwok accused. "I didn't start this, so YOU back down!"

[Carthrat]

Carthrat shrugged. "Whatever."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shook his head in disgust.  Carthrat was SO immature...

"So are we gonna go or what?"

[Carthrat]

"Ask Ace."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok turned to Ace. "Hey Ace, are we gonna go?  WHERE are we gonna go?"

[Shuten]

Sakura slowly rose from her slumber. Noticing where she was at, i.e. over Order's shoulder, she acted with all due haste. Repelling off of his shoulder without warning.

"Who in the hell are you?" Sakura demanded as she touched ground and reached for her sabre only to find it missing. "Damn that Genki Bitch!" Sakura then glared at the group. "Whatever *SHE* promised forget it!"

OOC: I updated Sakura's Character Sheet recently to better explain her actions.
