"Hmm..." I said, agreeing with him.
"No pain killers, then?"

"I use this herbal tea" Ben said showing Hiroki a package of tea leaves "A medicine man sold it to me the last time I was in a town, he said it relieves the pains of age" Ben added with a grimace.

"It is rather good though, care for a cup?"

"No. But I would think that it would take a while to make, although it would be better that pills, but what if you are in the heat of battle and are in intense pain? Hmm?"

"You have something that works that fast?" Ben asked astoninshed

He still remembered his bounty hunter days, and the sting of defeat as targets got away due to his inability to keep up. He grimaced again, but he stood up (without pain) and decided to get one more use out of his teapot before abandoning it.

Tom was absorbing the info. Arseran would come in good time, but a week spot in the outlaw? He better find away to get everyone else out of the area.



(Hm... I found you the group through evil ways. Did you actually beleive Tom, Hikori?)

(I never believed him, but did I have a choice?)

"Yes, I have very fast pain killers. I'll give you some now, for later."
I winked at him, and got up. "You'll have hardly any weakness, with those pills."

As I left to get them, I wondered if my father knew what had been done.
He probably thought that I was dead...

I came back, gave Ben the pills and said, "I'm going into the woods for a break. I'm telling you, so that you will not think me of suspicious, seeing your hard trusting."

I left, and leaned against a tree. "I know you're there ninja. Come out now. And please tell me that you didn;t bring Aseren!"

I winced at saying his name. The ninja would be surprised that I knew his name, or his occupation, but that was his concern, not mine.

Ben watched her go also noticing she had a deeper shadow than normal.

'Good, keep an eye on her Eclipse' Ben signaled

Tom kept his ground but... Ditto immediatly knew what to do.


Tom needs strength...That arcanine...I got it!

Then ditto jumped into the Tyranitar scent and transformed and dragged Kinar to the other side of the forest from Hikori.

Kinar was dragged away. However, I was too far away to take do anything, and I knew that she was fine.
I grinned. "Nice try ninja. But hey, be modest. What's your name."

I was aware of my shadow, now gone in the shade of the night and trees, and that it was not just a shadow.

"Don't take me lightly, ninja. I am not as dull as you expect me to be."
Knowing that Ben's Eclispe had me covered, but hid herself, I felt safer.

Rambo covered up with his blanket. Should I trust these people? They seem nice enough at least. Rambo heard the two talking. She wants to know if I'm a dojo though, huh. Well it couldn't hurt to tell her I suppose

Pan awoke that morning and went down to his group, who seemed ready and packed.

"Is everyone ready? We shall make way to the East and begin our journey."

Stopping for a second... "Hey you, with the Dragonite from earlier, state your name and business!"

"Calm, Pan. He needed to speak with you, and I told him to wait until morning..." I sighed.

(Past night.)
(Waiting Tom's answer...)

(How do you know everything? Anyway Kinar is being torchered.))

Tom kept silent. Listen hard enough and Kinar's crys of pain could be heard.

So much for subtlety. that Tom thinks he can take on a troop of Imperials all by himself... then let him have his suicidal battle.
Aseren hid in the trees and observed what would happen next. Ninjask sat content and strangely enough, silent on his back.
He knows when to be quiet.

( I could feel Eclipse cling to my shadow, and saw her move there earlier.)

I grimaced. Kinar..

(I have to go, like now! Bye)

The teapot's water came to a boil just as Eclipse warned him of imminent danger.

"Blast" he said standing and stamping with his leg 'no pain yet' Even so he pocketed Hiroki's medicine while grabbing his broadsword.

Subtlety was never his strong point but using Eclipse he was able to be given mental images of the one ninjas proximity. Staying far away he waited for Eclipse's call...

"Pan, I am the one they call Rambo" Rambo said.

"Pan, I am the one they call Rambo" Rambo said.

( Fire can't hurt Kinar much. Besides, she's good with pain. How else could she be my protector during war. She did get hit a lot...But why her...she wasn't even with me, besides, I don't think that it's very possible since Rambo and Ben were there...))

"Kinar..." I muttered.
She had been through worse, though it hurt to hear her being hurt.
She was fine, even though she was in pain now, she'd be fine later.
I always took her in pain worse than she did.
"What do you want?" I asked, my eyes showing more coldness then ever before.

(But really, it wouldn't hurt her that bad, seeing as she has been trained and hit with weapons for 13 years now, and is still in the best shape possible...)

Edit: What does Illiterate mean, Rambo?

(Well seeing as Ditto is a Tyranitar at the moment, I'd be more careful about Kinar, who's getting slamed to the ground.Nothing death causing but she may suffer complications so GO YOU FOOL! IF DITTO WAS IN TROUBLE I'd save him.)


Tom kept stilland silently moved towards Arseran.

Ben felt Eclipse tell him the ninja was moving, 'good, time to move' he thought.

Drawing his sword, Ben dashed through the brush running at a great pace. He knew he was being loud but that was his nature. He soon spotted the ninja and with a great sweep brought his sword to bear, angling a chop at the ninja.

"Ben, Kiki, Rambo! Stop this foolishness and form ranks by me! This is clearly a distraction tactic and I WILL NOT HAVE THIS MISSION COMPROMISED!" Pan was furious. Everyone lunging with the slightest adrenaline.

"We will look for Kinar together so no more splitting up!" Pan was going to get a heart attack when all was said and done with this mess.

Pan was too late, because by time he had shown up, I had passed him, heading towards Kinar.
She's been through worse, but that bloody Tyranitar is going to get even more injured if he doesn't let her go!!

I came up near Tyranitar, ran up a fallen log, and took out a bow and arrow.
Ever since that day, I thought as I drew the string of the lefty bow and arrow, (Yes, I am a lefty), I promised to try and succeed in all categories, at keast in aim, but not show it. I'll show you that I can fight, father!!
I released it, and it hit Tyranitar's back.
He yelled, and turned towards me, only to find a log.
I had jumped down and was running through the bush.
That Tyranitar reminds me of you, father! Big, ugly, and one who tries and ruin my life by taking away friends by murder and trust. But two things are different. This Tyranitar isn't a lazy b****** and he isn't going to kill Kinar!

I ran up another log, only to pull out a dagger and stab one of Tyranitar's legs with it. I didn't even do that much damage, just distracted it.

"Take that, you monster!" I cried, and ran off with Kinar.

(I'm not good with arrows, I can only aim well. The bow and aroows came from extras for other people...)

Aseren laughed hysterically at the sight of Tom's taunted Tyranitar (say that 10 x fast).

Well Tom, you have given away your position, have an ex Imperial soldier at your back, and lost your only captive. However...

He had another look at Hiroki again. Time had gone by. He shook the sentamentals off. Now is not the time to reveal yourself. Something bigger than the Dojo is going on here. Hiroki wouldn't just join anybody. Not after...

I sighed, and checked Kinar's wounds, away from danger.
I felt myself being watched, and made a guess.
"I'm busy now, and if you aren't planing anything, I don't know, like kidnapping or killing, you can come out Aseren. I won't hurt you, for I am far more concerned with Kinar."I sighed deeply again.
"But, if you aren't Aseren, you might rather help your partner, not watch me.
But," I said playfully, jokingly, but highly prepared for incoming. "if you'd rather watch me, I don't mind."

Edit: Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar, Tom's taunted Tyranitar. Beat that.
