216.66.156.39: Man in Van: Wha-? **Turns around** Oh, that's my cat Riki. Hey! He ate all the cake! Bad kitty!
216.66.156.39: Riki **Kitty**: **Glances at RG** Mrrow! (Doggg!)
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Blinks ** Cat!
64.216.0.149: RG: Uh oh.. o.O;;
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): RG! Wait.. Don't chase it!
Riki **Kitty**: **Jumps out the window and begins to run**
216.66.156.39: Man in Van: HEY! MY CAT!
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Watches the cat run off ** awww...
216.66.156.39: Man in Van: **Jumps out of the van as the light turns green and begins to chase after the cat as it runs through the traffic**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): **Looks behind seeing the cars behind moving forward** AHHH! **Grabs RG under one arm, with the other he slams open the door and jumps out onto the sidewalk**
64.216.0.149: RG: o.O;;
RG: Well... so much for that... we didn't even get any cake!! Stupid.. cat...
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): **Suddenly the cars compact into the van.. creating a massive pile-up** And we lost our car ride. Stupid cat.
216.66.156.39: Riki **Kitty**: MRROW! **Gets run over by a car wheel with a loud squishing sound as it's guts fly out all over the road**
64.216.0.149: RG: Ewwww....
64.216.0.149: RG: That wasn't exactly.. pleasant... but the cat deserves it! o.O;;
216.66.156.39: Man in Van: RIKI! NOOOOO! **Falls onto his knees in the middle of all the traffic, all the cars honk at him and people pull out cell phones and begin to dial police to get rid of the crazy man
216.66.156.39: Man in Van: on the road**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Well, there goes the cat. I guess that's the way the cookie..errmm.. the cat crumbles.. errmm.. gets squished.
RG: Uhm.. right...
64.216.0.149: RG: Is it just me, or will the crazy man blame me for his cat's death and try to kill me?
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): **Checks his watch** Oh jeez! RG! We're going to be late if we stay around here any longer. The train only runs ten times a day, and this is the last time it runs the whole day.
64.216.0.149: RG: Uh-oh... Let's get going, then!
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): **Chuckles** He'll prolly blame you, but who cares. He'll prolly get locked up by the police for going insane, or something. **Puts her on his head and begins streaking down the
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): street. as fast as he can, speeding past people, pushing past crowds of people infront of stores** Errgh.. We'll never make it there at this pace..
RG: Hmm... ** thinks ** How can we get there faster, then?
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Hmm.. **Points** If we cut through this alley we can cut off an entire three blocks.
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): That's a start, anyways.. If I could fly or drive or something I could get there faster **Shrugs** Oh well, come on, let's go. **Turns to the alley and begins running down it**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Phew.. This is much faster.. but just as tiring. Jeez.. **Breathes heavily**
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: **Steps out of the shadows**
216.66.156.39: Other Gangsters: **They all step out behind their leader**
64.216.0.149: RG: Eep! o.O;
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): **Stares straight up at the gang leader. Whimpers..** It sure would be good to have a couch to hide under right now.
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: **Laughs** Hey kid, gimmie all yer money!
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): But I only have two bucks, and I need it for two train tickets!
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: Two measly bucks? Gimmie yer jacket then, an' yer knapsack, an' that mutt of yers!
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): MUTT? No way!
64.216.0.149: RG: ** whimpers **
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: Then gimmie that funny lookin' sword of yers, or that whistle of 'yers.
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Never!
Gangster Leader: **Laughs** You wanna play this the easy way, or do you wanna die? **Pulls out a rifle**
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: ((Rifle = Handgun))
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Eep.. **Whimpers** What's that? **Whispers to RG** What's that?
64.216.0.149: RG: ** finds this might be a good time to see toasted Gangsters **
Other Gangsters: **They all laugh**
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: An' whuts that thing? **Points at the small device hooked to Ryashi's belt-loop**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Erm.. Nothin'... **Steps backwards** **Whimpers** Rg... Whadda we do?
64.216.0.149: RG: (( .. Stupid computer...))

Gangster Leader: You boys get the mutt, I'll take care of the brat.
RG: ** Leaps off Ry's head to avoid getting thrown with him, growls **
Other Gangsters: **Head towards RG**
Ryashi (Teen): RUN RG! SAVE YOURSELF!
RG: ** Backs up ** Noo.. ** Leaps forward, attempts to bite his leg **
Other Gangsters: **Grab RG**
Other Gangsters: **They begin to hit Rg**
Gangster Leader: **Chuckles and punches one of his fists into the other open hand** Heh heh heh..
RG: ** Whimpers, suddenly shoots out a blast of fire in an attempt to defend herself **
Other Gangsters: **Some drop RG, others continue to hit her, while others grab her tightly**
Ryashi (Teen): Eep!
Gangster Leader: **Jumps at Ryashi** Yer going DOWN!
Ryashi (Teen): **Dodges**
Gangster Leader: **Flies into the garbage cans.. rubs his head** Ouch! That hurt! You're gonna' pay fer that brat!
Ryashi (Teen): **Begins to run**
Gangster Leader: **Jumps at Ryashi, tackling him to the ground**
Ryashi (Teen): Ahh! **Struggles to escape**
Gangster Leader: **Begins punching Ryashi**
Ryashi (Teen): Owww! Stop! Don't punch me!
RG: ** Struggles madly, scratching and kicking, trying to escape **
Gangster Leader: **Most of them drop her, but others that dropped her before grab her again, until finally one grabs a garbage can and traps her under it**
Other Gangsters: **Most of them drop her, but others that dropped her before grab her again, until finally one grabs a garbage can and traps her under it**
Gangster Leader: ((Sorry. Wrong character.))
RG: ** Whimpers, scratching at the sides of the trash can ** This.. is bad.
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: **Stands up and begins kicking Ryashi in the side**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Oww! **Tears come to his eyes**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): Please! Stop! Stop!
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Twitches her ears ** Ryashi!? ** Rams the side of the trashcan in an attempt to knock it over and free herself **
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: **Laughs** When you die I'll stop, you'll little fucker!
216.66.156.39: Other Gangsters: **As the trashcan wildly spins out of control they jump out of the way, most of them tripping over the garbage can, and falling to the ground**
216.66.156.39: Gangster Leader: **Picks Ryashi up and throws him back into the wall, laughing more**
216.66.156.39: Ryashi (Teen): **Kicks at the Gangster Leader tripping him**

216.66.156.29: Gangster Leader: ((Wrong char sorry))
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): **Whimpers** Can you burn the guy's hand so he drops the gun?

64.216.0.149: RG: ** blinks, lets out a blast of fire at the hand that holds the gun quickly **
216.66.156.29: Gangster Leader: AHH! **Drops the gun, it falls, shooting a bullet out into a wall, which it bounces off of, hitting a garbage can** AHH! My gun! **Runs off**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Thanks R.G.! **Glances at his watch** Oh jeez! We're really not going to make this Train now. Not unless we could fly or somethin'.
64.216.0.149: RG: ** lets out a sigh of relief **
64.216.0.149: RG: Uhm... Hey! What about Nimbus? Can you call 'em?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Nope.
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): I can't fly either, or call Osso.
Ryashi (Teen): I can't use any magic either. Dad said so.
64.216.0.149: RG: Hmm... well then I guess we're stuck on foot..
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): He made me promise no magic, flying, nimbus or osso. He said I might make people think I was a monster or something, or disturb the town.
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): He said unless it's a really big emergency, like the world exploding.
64.216.0.149: RG: ** mumbles something under her breath ** Dernit...
64.216.0.149: RG: Well... This sucks...
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Wait a Second!
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Dad said no magic. He never said no Machines! **Pulls off the little device hooked onto his pocket**
64.216.0.149: RG: What?
64.216.0.149: RG: I was wonderin' what dat did...
Ryashi (Teen): **Nods** Okay.. Stand back... here we go..
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): **Slowly pushes a button on the device.. it begins whirring...** Pick a number from 20 to 30.
64.216.0.149: RG: ...? Dat's an odd machine. 20 ta 30?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Yah. Pick a number.
64.216.0.149: RG: Uhm... 24?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Okay. **Pushes the 2 button and then the 4 button**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): **Suddenly he begins to glow white**
64.216.0.149: RG: ...Ee?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): **His body seems to change shape.. stretching... growing.. expanding..**
64.216.0.149: RG: ** steps back ** What's goin' on??
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **His muscles increase, along with his clothing, which now consists of an orange shirt with a leather jacket over top, and black jeans**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Grins at R.G.** Okay, let's go. We don't have any time to waste. **Picks up R.G. easily, puts her on his head and then begins to run, much faster than in his younger form, as he
64.216.0.149: RG: o.O; ** still a bit confused **
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): is much stronger than before. He easily makes his way down the alley, and then heads closer to the train station** **Pants** Almost there.
RG: Think we can make it in time?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): Perhaps.. **It appears that any previous wounds from the beatings are gone, and as he races towards the train station he gets faster and faster... soon enough they arrive at the
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): Miyu Train Station** We made it!!
Ryashi (Adult): Now. Hopefully we didn't miss the train yet.. **Checks his watch**
64.216.0.149: RG: I hope...
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): Hmm.. The train will be here any minute...
64.216.0.149: RG: ** sighs in relief ** That's good...
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Nods**
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Climbs up onto his head ** Weee...
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Sits down on a bench**
Ryashi (Adult): **Yawns on the bench** So.. you think it's coming soon? We must be early.
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Hears a loud noise** Hmm? What's that?
64.216.0.149: RG: ** perks up her ears **
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Suddenly the noise gets even louder, if that's even possible!**
64.216.0.149: RG: Eee.. ** Covers her ears with her paws instead ** Why did I hafta have such good hearing!?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **The noise grows and grows.. suddenly the train appears.. and begins to slow**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Laughs at RG**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): You are so silly.
64.216.0.149: RG: Ugh.. I'm never coming to a train station again... ** Lifts her paws off her ears and sits up **
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Slowly the train stops**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): Guess we should buy some tickets? **Pulls out his wallet, picks out twenty dollars and pops it into the machine.. Hands RG a ticket** There you are.
64.216.0.149: RG: Ooo... it's all.. tickety.. o.O;
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Holds the ticket down with her paw as she curls up in his hair **
64.216.0.149: RG: ** yawns **
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Walks towards the ticket-thingy.. Shovels his ticket in..**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Enters the bars with RG on his head.. walks to the train.. jumps on..**
RG: ** Yawns again, lays down her head an' shuts her eyes **
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Sits down in one of the seat-thingys**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Yawns.. begins to fall asleep....**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **The train booth thingy is nearly empty, since it is late, and they are near the back.. the ones infront are more full**
64.216.0.149: RG: ** snores very softly **
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Mumbles something, pokes one of her eyes open halfway **
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Looks about, everything being so blurry, opens the other eye a bit and watches everything clear up **
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Falls asleep..**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Adult): **Slowly he begins to shrink back down as he sleeps**
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): **The train begins to slow.. and then stop...**
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Pokes Ry ** Heyyoo... da train's stoppin...

64.216.0.149: RG: Da train's stopped... Where're we headed ta again?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): An Island... Jyouu Island or something..
64.216.0.149: RG: Hmm... dat far from here?
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): **Opens an eye** The train light says we're at Shouri Station.. we still have a few more. Lemme go back to sleep.. Kay?
RG: Ah, kay... ** Curls up again **
64.216.0.149: RG: ** Yawns and falls asleep quickly **
64.216.0.149: RG: (( Ergh, craaap.. I gotta get off... be on tamorrow, methinks... ))
216.66.156.29: Ryashi (Teen): Hmm.. **Closes his eye and falls asleep again**
