Yang Bethlehem

"Hmm, true, I was thinking of being more of an eye-candy though." She looked at Rinas clothing and made a window with her fingers, tongue stuck out as she imagined herself in it. "I probably look good in it."

"But you're right, I suppose, I'm not interested in...lewd acts. I'm more of a beat them up type." Yang sighed as she sat down with both arms splayed on the pews. She supposed that no one devout enough should be doing it. "But if you need help, just give me a notice and I'll head right here."

When Rinas gave her a flyer, Yang eyed it and wondered what competition it was. She then turned to Rinas and inquired more on it. "So what competition will this be?"

Once she received enough explanation from Rinas, Yang will bid her farewell and head back to the guild for now. Ready to help out-whatever chores or task they still have. No doubt Talia or the blacksmith would have things for her to do.

Speaking of which, an idea formed in her head as she looked for Talia. Once she found her, she greeted her and then made a request to her.

"Hey Talia, I was wondering, if it's not too much of a trouble, can you make some clay jars for me?" Yang indicated the sizes, able to hold a bucket of water to size that are able to hold four buckets of water. "I kind of need them for training my disciple in the future when he gets strong enough."

"I'll help you make them as well." She said with a pleading look and small smile, Yang then winked to her as she added. "I want to keep this a surprise from my disciple as well if you can."

"Hmm, perhaps there's a way to find them? It would be a great help if we managed to rally some of them to our side here." Yang suggested to Nero.

---

As Rinas greeted her and asked, Yang rubbed the back of her head as she smiled.

"Haha, maybe because I annoyed him much more?" She jested as she shrugged her shoulders. "May I come in?"

Entering the church, Yang looked at the surroundings and was still off-put by the decorations but she pushed it aside. Taking a seat on the pewter seats there, she laid her back and talked to Rinas.

"But I didn't do much, I just offered a spar against him. Maybe the fighting spirit within him still burns brightly."

"As to the duel, it was great!" Yang threw her arms apart as she stood back up excitedly and then mimic a few of the moves Nero made. Retelling the entire fight from the start proudly. "I never realize just how tough knights are but they're still so fast!"

"I was like 'Pow!' and then he 'Hah!'" She started to demonstrate with punches and kicks as she switched back and forth between the role. Then it culminated in her crouching downward, launching upward and ending with a kick, a display of her physicality and balance as she landed easily. "Then I kicked him right in the chin and he was sent flying! But all it did at best was just knocked him down, which was kind of scary. Usually anyone hit by the tiger's foot should be out for an hour or so, Nero got back up to his feet within minutes."

"And that's it!" She beamed proudly before thinking just how close the fight actually was. It seems like she still had lots to learn.

"Enough of that though, I want to thank you for introducing me to him. You need any help today?" Yang offered, not really minding to help out in the church. "I can even get into that dress of yours and try to get a few converts or alms outside. I, after all, came from a temple of monks."

Yang didn't have much to do for the day anyway, and might as well do a few jobs here to repay Rinas.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy looked at Ozzy quietly as he wondered what the owl harpy planned to do, looking at the scribbles it took him a moment to recognize that the one with the horns was him.

Listening to the plan, Ditzy had to look back and forth between Ozzy and scribbles. Eyebrows furrowed heavily as he struggled to ingrained the plan into his head, repeating the plan over and over again.

"Carry plant girl, and if Ozzy scream, have to help. Okay." He nodded furiously and committed to the plan,

Still, once the plan is carried out, Ditzy followed closely to Neil as he looked upwards to the tunnel they're making. He never had much chance of seeing a lot of tunnels but he was careful to fall down.

Whatever Neil wanted to say died in his mouth as Ditzy heard the loud crumbling and shifting ground fall behind them. Dirt, dust and the earthy soil blew past them, forcing them to cover their eyes.

When he opened them, all fear and apprehension came right back as he heard the moans. He shifted his foot repeatedly and inched away from the zombies slowly until Neil suddenly rushed past him.

"Ah! Don't go near!" Ditzy reached out with his arm but Neil was already ahead of him, grabbing something and then running back. That's when Neil got pulled by a big zombie and wasn't able to get away.

That's what Ditzy wanted to warn Neil but couldn't, a thought that was interrupted when a lump of paper then smacked him in the face.

He didn't know what it was but it seemed important though when Neil asked them to leave, which stoke a burning sensation in the pits of his stomach.

Ditzy was slow but not dumb, he recognized that tone and words that was usually said by his father in really dire times. One of whom Ditzy didn't like as it meant abandoning his friend or family.

While initially squeamish about zombies, that changed as Ditzy picked up the crumpled paper, stuffed it in his pants unceremoniously then marched forward to Neil.

Ditzy is strong. He thought indignantly and slung the sandbag around his shoulder. He stretched both of hands and fingers as he walked briskly to Neil despite his command.

"No."

Ditzy grabbed Neil by the back of his pants, and to the latter, it felt like someone just hooked his clothes to an iron hook as Ditzy fingers clenched tightly.

Then he lifted Neil upwards, away from the crowd of zombies, with the larger zombie still holding Neil tightly. The two-weight combined didn't phase him at all as Ditzy turned on his heels quickly with both arms balancing Neil as the large zombie was dragged along for the ride.

"Ditzy was dragged by zombies before, needed dad help. This time, Ditzy help." He stoutly announced as he showed his strength by moving forward even if more zombies grabbed him.

Nevertheless, they had to get out of the area fast as the tunnel collapsing on them would be terrible and they had obtained the map.

Yang Bethlehem

Yang took this information slowly and ruminate on it, finally getting some context on what happened and how did the relationship between Varjo and the Order went. She did raise an eyebrow when Nero mentioned he was in Zipangu, come to think of it, he didn't really bat much more attention when she showed herself in the first place.

A moment passed as she sat down quietly to think about this, wondering how to proceed. Ultimately, she did have a questioned that lingered in her mind.

"Sir Nero, do you think some of your own compatriots survived like you did?" Yang asked, wondering if there are any. It'll certainly help them if they bring more of them slowly and quietly.

Although Varjo will definitely not keep quiet when the other faction slowly came together.

After he gave his answer and most of all, saying that he need a new sword anyways. Yang declined to push further.

"I see, understood then but if you need a good weapon or metals, tools to be repaired, we do have a cyclops." Yang smiled as she stood and gave him a final bow. "Thank you for your time today."

Just before she left, an idea came to her and in a spur of the moment, she turned around. "Sir Nero, I have a disciple that I'm training at the moment. In the future, I might bring her here for some supplementary training. If that's alright with you."

Once that, Yang finally left for good. Taking her sweet time as she heads toward Boreal Port to thank the priestess from that weird lewd church for introducing him to her.

The moment she reached there, Yang knocked on the door and wondered if there's any task she has or thing she can help out. She had a lot of free time today after all.

Ditzy Stoneclub

After putting the sisters down and trying to help put whatever he can to the bar the door. He sat down and sighed.

"Not sure, had two chase me before. Dad helped out." Ditzy pulled his knee up close to his chest and looked at the large number of zombies outside. "A lot more than my finger and toes this time."

"Ditzy strong, can push Zombie away without much problem." He said without hesitation, they still creep him out though. Those long pew chairs that was used to bar the doors can easily be lifted by him.

"But we need map, no map means no gold." Ditzy pointed out at Ozzy, worried about that. Already they're doing something bad, it'll be worse if they don't get paid then Bart will get mad at them.

Yang Bethlehem

Fated favored her as Yang attack landed on target. It lifted Nero several feet in the air before he landed on the ground.

Right at the moment she relaxed and moved forward to see if Nero was alright, he got up to his feet much to her shock. While she was avoiding vital point, it was still her best attack that would've knocked someone in her caliber out cold.

It certainly gave her a sense of how much she needed to learn and truly how wide the world was.

She politely brought a hand over her fist and bowed to Nero in respect before the latter asked for the audience around them watch to applause for her, to which she just bowed to them as well.

"Apologies for the trouble and scene."

Afterward, once the crowd dispersed and she was invited for a drink in Nero's house. The latter then said that she can ask him anything since he had a front seat to everything.

Yang paused as she held the cup in her hands, thinking about it for a moment, before she took a sip from her drink first.

"I didn't challenge you for information, I challenge you simply to see how strong you are." Yang begin and placed her drink on the table back. "However, with how things are, there are a few things I like to know."

"First, a brief history on this Varjo and what they planned to do here. I'm a foreigner and most of what I heard are hearsays, ones that I thought were an exaggeration at first. Now it seems those were understating it."

"The other one...well, how and why did you leave them?" Yang said as she leaned forward.

After listening to Nero and digesting the information, an idea formulates in her head.

"Sir Nero, I have a request, if it's not too much for you. Should the worst come to pass and Varjo comes here. Would you take up arms to protect those that can't?" Yang said.

As it is, the guild being targeted seemed highly likely but it wouldn't do if the come after those that weren't involved with them. If they're to oppose Varjo, they'll need a lot more people and allies in this. Those like Nero doesn't necessarily need to aid the rebel but simply band together.

"Also, I'm sorry for breaking your sword. Do you need help fixing that? We have a cyclops and blacksmith in our guild."

Ditzy Stoneclub

@13org@PaulHaynek@ShwiggityShwah

While Ditzy was uncomfortably moving all the coffins and checking, hearing Nail asking on why there are so many women and the state of their corpse had Ditzy on edge.

"Ditzy thinks Neil need to be quiet." He commented softly, not really liking where this is going. It reminded him far too much of that time he had hidden near a cemetery during hide and seek game.

Then, exactly like that time, the corpse of the woman jumped to action and grab hold of Neil. At that point, Ditzy fear had exploded into reality.

@Stern Algorithm

So frightened was he, Ditzy didn't even question Ozzy and ran straight to the twins, carried them, the potted plant they're in and the entire cart like it weight nothing more than a box. Fear and adrenaline-fueled, Ditzy charged straight to the church door that if Ada doesn't open it in time, Ditzy would bash the door down with a kick.

It's cool, I like the interaction really. Just get yourself sorted out and r&r first, that's more important.

Yang Bethlehem

She swooped forward with a flurry of her fisticuffs, yet, Nero managed to block and avoid them much easier now that he saw and got used to her speed.

Then a thrust to a sword pommel, her eyes spotted it immediately and Yang made her move to avoid it. She hadn't seen much of the warriors around here to utilize the pommel, even back in her land, sword pommels were something that was underutilized.

Although, her temple didn't have a lot of westerns sword so perhaps their styles and usage differed.

In her train of thoughts, Nero took this advantage and swept her foot easily with the hilt of the sword. So fast and precise it was, she hadn't realized it until she was falling down and side perspective change.

By the time she landed on the ground and moved to recover, the sword edge was pointed towards her.

"Heh, one more time." Yang smiled as she stood up, and this time. She had a compact and tight stance, both arms close together that it looked like it was one. Deep breaths followed and Yang focused all the energy inwards.

There was little pretense as it was obvious that Yang will move deep into Nero territory and take him out, this time, it will be with the full repertoire of the White Tiger temple.

So sudden and violent was her charge, it was akin to a leaping tiger as to Nero perspective, Yang had suddenly turned larger as she closed the distance near instantaneously.

A punch that could split and shatter a rock sliced through the air, letting out a booming noise at the apex of the snap, met with Nero flat side of the blade. The impact rocked through it before Yang continued on, her feet twisting and turning as she followed up with a rising knee.

All her muscled coiled together as one before it relaxed itself to form into the strongest burst of energy. It propelled her upwards like a geyser.

Tiger's...

Whether or not Nero managed to dodge it, Yang unveiled her last surprise. Her momentum still behind her, the other leg that followed was the real attack as she went into a flying kick with the full force of weight, momentum, and strength as one.

Foot!

Just like the diamond fist, this was the strongest and fastest strike that Yang had. Though the speed and power were uncomparable, the path it traveled was set.

If it hit, Nero will feel like he had been uppercut into the air and he did indeed flew backwards for several feet until he lands on his back. Nearly seeing stars and out of breath from it.

Should fate decided that Nero did dodge it, Yang would be left extremely vulnerable as she had no other alternative to dodge and stuck in the air. Leaving her open to whatever attacks Nero deemed effective to finish her off.

Whatever the results, Yang was satisfied and had a large smile on her face despite the sweat, dirt and exhaustion.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy followed the rest of the group without question, slightly disappointed that Neil didn't required his help. He was a bit sulky at that, afterall, he pushed and carried heavier things than the two plant lady after all.

Nevertheless, Ditzy mood remained high until he finally see the person who is going to give them the job. Looking at the person, Ditzy had mixed feelings about it.

"He looks very shady." The kind of person his dad would say to stay away from, which didn't really build a lot of confidence in what they're doing already.

Seeing the tombstone and cemetery made Ditzy nervous as well as uncomfortable, squirming around as he looked at the area.

"But the two of you don't look that similar?" It seemed odd that he would want to look like Neil, while there are slight similarities, Ditzy could tell the two apart easily from the scent, looks and feel.

Hearing if they're ready, Ditzy just weakly raised his fist and agreed. Though it seemed more like to reassure himself on the task. "Okay~"

Seeing the plant lady able to dig out the coffins so easily and hearing that they can also put it back just as fast made Ditzy sighed with relief. No need to dig out everything then.

"Ditzy can open coffin but don't want to check inside, not good thing to do." He squeamishly said as this was already going against a lot of things his parents taught. So Ditzy with a sour look lifted the lid aside like it was made of a thin plank of wood instead of the heavy wooden or stone coffin lid.

Ditzy had his eyes closed tightly as well as face turned away from the smell and whatever state the corpse was in. Once the checking was done, Ditzy was all-too glad to close it again and move onto the next one.

Huh.

This is a welcomed and genuine surprise, it's been a while.

Yang Bethlehem

@PaulHaynek

Yang and Nero faced one another off as the tension was thick enough that it can be cut with a knife, Yang eyes calmly assessed the distance and weapon. In her mind, she was able to draw the range that Nero was able to strike.

That's quite a distance. Yang noted as she drew closer, it was no staff, spear or halberd but it's still impressive.

Soon, she was an inch away from Nero's striking distance. She knew it, and Nero knew it, there was little doubt between the two now.

Her focus sharpened to its limit, breathing slowed and heartbeat steadied in anticipation for what's to come.

Yang shifted her foot and stepped forward.

Nero burst into action as he lunged forward, the sword swung from an overhead position.

A fast strike, fast enough that her Master will approve.

Relax.

Yang likewise, dashed forward as her feet and body shifted its center of gravity in tandem. Achieving top speed as her body was at its most relaxed state that she felt like liquid.

Similarly, her fist struck forward, going and sliding the sword length with her prayer beads.

Twist. Then her body tensed and flexed itself, rapidly gaining strength as she put strength into her body. The gliding fist met with Nero arms and to him, it felt like an iron bar that wouldn't budge.

Hips turned and twisted downward, building momentum from her lower legs, all moving together upwards to create a rising force as it transferred to her fist.

Diamond...

It all culminated into a powerful fist heading straight for Nero's face. The wind and the air itself wrapping around her fist as it came closer to him.

Fist!

A loud snap echoed and the audience breathes stilled to a silence, expecting the worst.

Yang let out a long breath as the tension left her body and looked up to Nero.

Her fist stopped within inches of his helmet, the snap coming from the moment she twisted her fist. Nero felt a strong gust of wind at the moment she stopped her punch.

That's when she backed away and gestured for him to continue. She knew better that it landed simply due to her taking advantage of Nero little knowledge of how monks fought.

It wasn't fair in her opinion, and so, what better way to even this than to show him the strongest and fastest technique she had in her arsenal.

"Come on, That's just the first round. I still got plenty of steam left." She chuckles and readied herself for another bout.

Yang continued the spar and charged forward, her fist blurred as released a flurry of punches towards Nero. This time, Nero knew Yang's top speed and strength. Giving him information to adjust and counter as needed.

Ditzy Stoneclub

@PaulHaynek

"Neil!" Ditzy threw him arm upwards in joy as he recalled the last time they're together. It was the funnest time he had! Though remembering the horse lady had him immediately deflated and hunched forward depressingly. There was another friend that was gone, wasn't it?

Speaking of which, those goblins still haven't returned and played with him. He missed some of his friends, parents, and tribe.

@Stern Algorithm

"But pulling vegetables is different, you grow them and then eat them. Grave robbing is bad, cause you're taking and disturbing their rest. Papa always said only bandits and bad guys do that, so grave robbing is bad. Also, skeleton and zombie taste dusty and bad." Ditzy made a disgusted face, tongue outstretched similar to one who had bitten into something rotten or bitter. "Yuck."

Still, that being said, Ditzy followed the party without much complaint.

As Neil prepared to push the Altissima sister cart, Ditzy noticed it and joined Neil side. Though his position was different from Neil, rather than pushing it, Ditzy was pulling it similar to how a beast of burden was attached frontward of a cart.

"Ditzy can pull cart, Ditzy good at it!" Ditzy beamed, hands gripped firmly and Neil felt the strength of the grip from his own. It was like it was locked in place by metal before Ditzy singlehandedly lifted the cart upwards, alongside both sisters, inches from the ground in his enthusiasm and show of strength.

"See! Ditzy carried big rocks and trees before in carts! No need for hell boars!" It nearly gave the sisters a heart attack when Ditzy shook the cart they're on for emphasis. Luckily, Ditzy brought it down gently before moving onwards, pulling them ahead without their say or input.

@13org@ShwiggityShwah

"Let's go!" He raised a fist upwards and pumped it with a large smile.

If Neil was quick, he can help Ditzy in making the journey smoother for the sisters in directing him where to go as Ditzy while able to pull the heaviest of cart with ease, was not a master in making it a comfortable ride.
