Dang he had lost a lot of blood then, whatever mojo that old man had done was pretty effective. Course, now the old man looked like he might keel over and die at any moment. Apparently the Crane School master wanted them to team up together, which certainly wasn't the worst idea in the world. Like with most people she met though, she had already managed to tick chrome-dome off so cooperation was probably not at the forefront of his mind at the moment. He was also being a little snot about not having to hitch a ride. Erika looked back at the old man who had assumed a meditative stance, apparently he figured he'd be fine where he was. [color=00aeef]"Right...well I'll count on you to take care of yourself ya old raisin. By the way, since that was all your blood I guess that means I'm the only one so far that's actually managed to inflict any real damage, just food for thought."[/color] It really wasn't much of a brag though considering it had only been a light cut but they didn't know that. She started revving up the engine when a new person appeared right in front of them, asking them out of the blue to join them to slay the dragon, or whatever. [color=00aeef]"Ok...well shut up scrawny and follow along. Before anything else happens I need to pick up some stuff. Oh look here it comes!"[/color] Erika pointed to what looked like a small jet, but turned out to be a special drone, headed straight toward Ginger Town. [color=00aeef]"Once I'm all set we can fry up some vegetables."[/color] [hr] [center][b]Location:[/b] Ginger Town[/center] It didn't take very long for the group to make it into the town itself, where there were some confused citizens who had watched as a large metal drone carrying a suspicious looking package had landed on the main street. [color=00aeef]"Don't worry folks just some government business, I'm sure it won't blow up or anything."[/color] Erika looked bored as she 'assured' the people everything was safe. Quickly she cracked open the package and removed what was inside. The good doctor had given her four syringes of healing serum, a rather strange, purple liquid that didn't look safe for consumption, and a case of enhanced bullets. The healing serum would increase her body's natural healing processes by about a hundred-fold, so in about an hour or so she would be in perfect health. Wasting no time she plunged a needle into her arm and took a shot, then placed the empty syringe back in the package. [color=00aeef]"Hey kid, if you need a shot better take one now, otherwise I'll just be putting these things away."[/color] She said to the young man who had most recently joined the group. Next was the new shotgun shells, these had been enhanced with ki so that the shells would be able to punch through the barrier a body naturally produced with it's own ki. While normal shells were fine on most opponents the problem was that those who learned how to use Ki could protect their own bodies with it, if someone was caught off guard they could still work but as long as an opponent knew they were coming a regular bullet was like throwing a rock at a brick wall, the shells needed that bit extra to provide the penetration power to get through their defense. Erika quickly started replacing her old shells with the new ones. "I'm sure Doctor Tread will be able to get a fix on that walking petredish." As she said that her screen lit up on the dashboard, it showed a map with a red dot showing where Dyce was heading toward next. [color=00aeef]"Oh great, it's heading right toward North Capital. We'll just have to hope it doesn't nuke the place before we can get there. Ugh, it's just not giving us any time to really come up with an actual plan besides just ganging up on the prick."[/color]
