It may be time for me to go, but you are born anew where I left off. I want you to promise me that you will walk the path as far as it will go. Rinji: I promise [Sniffed] Panno: There's my good boy. You're going to be such a brave little soldier. Now, open your eyes, Rinji. Rinji: What? [Sob.] Panno: Open your eyes. Blue Angel: Arm Damage: Critical. KAR-2099: Reporting back to quarters for repairs. Blue Angel: Affirmative. Rinji looked behind him on the light fixture to see that Dala was still knocked out behind him on top of the light fixture, and wasn't even stirring yet. That was when the androids were beginning to leave. That was also when Rinji did no more thinking, and jumped into the air, and poofed into a cloud of purple vapor and vanished. Blue Angel: Scanning environment, multiple subjects detected, unknown substance in optic sensors. Rinji: Mewhahahahaha! [Said through the fangy grin.] It's about to become known, right now! KAR-2099: Subject identified, Catman Rinji. Rinji: Mewhahahaha! We've had our fun, now get ready for this! [The power emitting from his paws began to slow their movements completely, and soon it started to push them completely back as he concentrated.] Neko Neko nooooo! Rinji: Narashi! Chio: Rinji? Rinji: Yo! Chio, how's it hanging? Chio: The light fixture is comfortable, but I would rather not try this again. What the hell was that you just did there? Rinji: Mewhahahaha! Just something I thought up. [Stomped on one of the androids' heads as they almost got to their feet.] Usagi: That's really quite grim if you think about it. [Jumped down and landed on her feet, looking at the carnage with all of the broken and destroyed androids on the ground.] Alice: Oh, my, how dreadful a mess. Shall we tidy up? [Jumped down from the fixture, along with Dala who was stretching and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.] Rinji: It looks like Gonzo Lee was a little more resourceful than even I expected. Nikk: He destroyed around nineteen of them [She was going through the motions as she could decipher them with what little light was available to her.] Judging by the bullet holes in the wall, he never missed a shot. The blood here suggests he was wounded by one of their swords. It was a very deep cut, and that was about the time he could not fight any longer. [She walked over to the wall and stood as he did. She noted that the part of the wall was a completely different texture from the rest of the structure.] He activated a secret passage by accident, and was carried away before they could finish him. [She tried to press the button again, but it did not work this time.] Chio: Well, at least we know he's okay. Still, with a wound like that, he may not have much consciousness left. Jana: Some of us need to go get him. Rinji: Agreed. [He looked at all eight of him.] Kimi: I'll go get him. Rinji: Right, Nikk, Chio, and Jana go with her. The rest of you will come with me, and we're going to find that bastard Doctor that brought this bastardized plan on us, and deal with him. Dala: Yeah, great plan, but that wall is solid steel, how are you plan--- Chio: Oni... [Drew everyone's attention to him. He cringed as he stood in his fighting stance, his leg shaking a little bit.] KATAI!!! [Jumped straight for the wall, and smashed the center of it with one solid kick, causing it to fold and snape the cord and axle that allowed it to spin open. The passageway fell, and opened up for all of them.] Dala: ...Well, alright then, lead the way, fearless leader! [She gave a nervous chuckle.] Kimi: Right! [Found her axe buried underneath some of the heavier android carcasses, obviously not on Lee's list of top things to carry at the moment.] Let's get going, shall we? Ellis: Jiro? [Looked into his room on the ship, and he was not in his bed, then she looked into the living room, and he was not there either. That was when she opened the door to the deck, and finally saw him. For some reason, he was not playing his guitar, and he had removed his bandages.] Ellis: Jiro, you know I told you to stay in bed another day at the very least, ya damn cat. Jiro: I'm tired of sleeping, and I smell something rotten. Ellis: What'dya mean? [She lit a cigarette and looked at the tower as she walked up beside him.] Like for real rotten, or ya smell a rat? Jiro: The rat one; I smell several rats, actually. Something tells me they are going to need us. Ellis: Don't suppose I can tell you to fugget'bout it and get your furry ass back in bed? Jiro: No, I'm afraid not. [He pushed his green sunglasses up the bridge of his nose and narrowed his eyes toward the tower as they reflected from the lenses.] You coming or not? Ellis: Damn right I'm comin'!
