Honji: Sure, I can do that no problem.
Ling Ling: Don’t be too confident. If you get caught, we’ll have a backup team on standby and combat can only result in casualties. I can’t make it clear enough how important it is to stay out of sight.
Honji: Okay, okay! I understand, be sneaky! You don’t have to beat me over the head with it!
Ling Ling: I do until you can prove that your overconfidence doesn’t affect your performance. We have a plane you can jump from, no-one takes any notice of them except people who hate the noise and plane enthusiasts, so you can jump from one if you want.
Honji: Sure, sure. Better than the sewers, last time I had to go through those I flipped so hard I dragged someone down there just to drown them.
Ling Ling: *Sighs* Just be careful.
Honji: *Already walking away* Sure, whatever you say, boss lady. *Glares at Barbatos on the way past*
Barbatos: *Growls back at her*
Honji: *Ears fold back and she hisses at him, not breaking stride*
Jackie: *Walks up, having watched the whole thing* She’ll warm up to you.
Ling Ling: I hope so. I have no use for dead or disrespectful employees.
Jackie: She warmed up to Scryer and me, I don’t’ see why she wouldn’t for you.
Barbatos: *Trying and failing to fight off a smirk* Well she once cut off part of her tail so I wouldn’t eat her alive.
Jackie: *Winces* Yeesh.
SS: *Glares and hopes he’ll be able to prove his loyalty, however temporary, and be able to escape the confines of the mansion*
Later;
Honji: (Yelling to be heard above the noise of the plane) So what’s up her arse?!
Wong grunt: What the hell are you talking about?
Honji: A backup team, repeating herself to tell me to stay out of sight and calling me overconfident! It’s like she doesn’t trust me!
Grunt: Well we don’t know what you’re capable of, so this seemed like the best idea! (Mutters) And you are too cocky, you stupid cat.
Honji: … I’m going to let that one slide! *Looks down* Anyway, this is my stop! *Grabs a large platter and jumps out*
Grunt: How did she hear me?
Pilot: She’s a cat-blood Anbes, ya dummy.
Honji: *Puts the platter under her feet and jumps off it when she’s close enough to the roof, defying physics and landing unharmed* *Looks around, seeing a vent* … Not going to happen. *Scales a wall, stopping by a conveniently open window* *Cought* Ahem. *Meows pitifully, sounding exactly like a scared cat*
A thug looks out, confused
Thug: I could have sworn-
Honji: *Grabs him by the back of the shirt and tosses him out, head-first onto the concrete below, the thug screaming on the way down before landing with a sickening crunch*
Voice from inside: What the hell was that?!
The Miaos run outside, gathering around the corpse of their ally
Thug 1: Holy crap… I knew he was clumsy, but this is just… wow!
Thug 2: Someone call a morgue.
Thug 3: How did he fall out? His rounds brought him nowhere NEAR the windows!
Honji: *Climbs in through the window before they look up* *Looks around the warehouse* (Whispers) Too many big crates. *Sees an open one close to the door* There we go. *Quietly approaches it, making next to no noise*
Thug: There is no such thing as a building flaw where people fall out of windows from sitting at their desks! That was a Monty Python sketch, you blithering idiot!
Honji: *Looks in the crate* What?
Inside, there are a number of random, assorted items. Coats, sketchbooks, a hand fan, hats, etc. Honji: This can’t be right. *Digs a bit deeper, eventually pulling out a crossbow* That’s more like it. But why don’t they have any bolts? !! *Runs for the window as she hears the thugs returning, hiding behind a convenient stack of crates*
Thug: Must have been his own clumsiness.
Honji: *Looks up at the window, aware that her leg muscles are powerful enough for her to reach such a height with ease* *Notices a few pebbles on the ground when she looks back down again* *Picks one up with a self-satisfied smirk and tosses it against the far wall*
Thug: *Takes a glance before going back to the task at hand*
Honji: (Annoyed) *chucks a second one at a window, the projectile bouncing off*
Thug: Just some jerk kids throwing pebbles at out windows.
Honji: *Grinding teeth in frustration* *Picks up a rock and lobs it at the same window, smashing it*
Every thug in the area immediately trains their weapon on the window, an opportunity Honji takes to leap up to the window and scramble out of it, landing softly on the other side.
Honji: *Walks away from the warehouse, still holding the unloaded crossbow, getting in a car the Wongs had on standby and sitting down as the driver takes off* Piece of fishcake.
Grunt: SO I see. *Looks at the crossbow* They had weapons?
Honji: Nope. This was the only one they had. The crate I saw had clothes, sombreros, books, this but no bolts, everything that didn’t belong together was in the same crate.
Grunt: Huh. Well at least we have something. *Talks into a radio* Ling Ling, the cat did it. The warehouse has random assorted items grouped together and not many are actually weapons. We’re coming back.

Later at the mansion.
Honji:*holds up the crossbow* The crate was full of random stuff. Only thing potentially dangerous was this crossbow, and it doesn't even have bolts.
Ling Ling:Odd..Well, you did a good job. Fingers, get it to the police station.
Fingers:*Rubs one of his tendrils against the crossbow* BLRRRRGGH. *Takes it and leaves*
Honji:*Looks at her hands, they're slightly slick from holding the crossbow* Huh...Some kind of oil?
Ling Ling:Well this is very bizzare. Its also coated in that substance..Forensics should turn up something soon.
Honji:The stuffs really thin, I just noticed it. Makes my hands smooth....Anyway, whats next?
Ling Ling:Well, you've proven yourself useful. Take a break while we sort out this last warehouse.
Honji:Please, that last warehouse was childs play. I'll have this one taken care of in a heartbeat.
Ling Ling:*sighs* Alright, atleast wait for us to get some information on it.
The desk phone rings.
Ling Ling:*picks it up* Ling Ling Wong speaking.
Wong Scout(A chameleon feral, he's perched up in the top corner of the warehouse roof) I'm inside Warehouse 88, just got in. Ma'am, this place is guarded up really tight. There aren't any guards posted on the outisde, all of em's in. I've counted atleast twenty-five armed guards in here. Eight with shotguns, ten with assault rifles, four with snipers, and this one big guy unarmed, he's smoking a weird looking cigar. Looks like a-!!! They have attack dogs! six of them! They're sniffing me out. I gotta-*Interrupted by barking*
The scout lets out a bloodcurdling scream as a blast of green colored fire coats him, he falls onto the floor, burning. A large man steps on him to hold him still and lights a cigarette from his flaming flesh.
??:*puffs his cigarette, his cigar is in his pocket* ....Whats that you got there? *Snatches the phone* Who the hell's this?
Ling Ling:*turns the phone off* SHIT!
Barbatos: Still want to take it on alone, cat?
Honji:I.....
Ling Ling: Alright. We have a problem. This last warehouse has something extremely important in it. We're dealing with over two dozen armed men, one of them which evidently has access to a flamethrower or something. We also have about six guard dogs. And they're definatelty expecting company since they murdered one of our best scouts...*sigh* Poor Garth...Least we can do is avenge him, he's been in the family for 3 years. Great guy, had a phobia of dogs though.
Barbatos:Afraid of those cheap cowards? *sigh* Well, fine then.
Ling Ling:Alright. Shadow...I think its time we tested your abilities.
Shadow:If it'll get me out of this damn mansion, fine!
Ling Ling: Barbatos, you're going to go with him and make sure he doesn't make a break for it. You two will carry out this mission. You'll naturally have backup in case everything goes to hell, but seeing as you two are probably the strongest family members we have access to right now, we'll initially send you in alone to prevent casualties among our men.
Barbatos:Very well, Ling Ling!
Shadow:*Hisses*
Barbatos: *Glares* You had better prove an asset to the family.
Shadow:Didn't you play hookie to go binge on a bloodbath in Colorado?
Barbatos:How do you know about that!?
Shadow: Wong Grapevine. Now lets get out of here already!
Later, the two have boarded a plane heading towards the warehouses.
Wong:Alright you two. I'm gonna drop you in. Pretty sure its nothing you can't handle, but be careful anyway.
Shadow:*Has jumped out of the plane already*
Wong:Dick...
Barbatos:he probably heard that.
Wong:Sure didn't seem to hear me expressing concern for his well-being! Hmph!
Barbatos:*Shrugs and casually falls out of the plane backwards*
The two land behind the warehouse.
Barbatos:Alright. Lets see how you perform. We're going to break into here and see whats in that crate.
Shadow:*Tears a hole into the wall with his claws and crawls through*
Barbatos:*sighs and follows*
The hole leads to a supply closet in the warehouse.
Barbatos:*Sniffs* There's quite alot of scents in here....
Shadow:*looks through the window of the closet, someone is leaning against it*
Miao Grunt:*napping, leaned onto the closet door*
Shadow:*Uses his claw to quietly carve out the glass, popping in out of place and pulling it into the closet, then he grabs the grunt, covering his mouth, and pulling him into the closet. He snaps his neck and puts him on the floor.
Barbatos:*Looks out of the window* Hrm...
Grunt:Think they're gonna be stupid enough to come into our warehouse Ramsey?
Ramsey is a large sheep feral. Approximately 6'7, fairly robust physique, he wears typical miao attire though his suit is a grey color as opposed to the usual black. His horns are fairly large and appear to have been sharpened to make them more lethal. He has a strange looking cigar in his mouth. It's wrapping is very dark brown, almost black, and it has a small, fanged mouth at the end of it that remains constantly open. It has a green eye on the emblem in the middle, its looking around curiously.
Ramsey:Hah. We already know the rats have been sabotaging our other warehouses. I don't doubt we're going to see more especially considering we caught this little bastard.
Garth is tied against a post. He's burnt fairly badly, but still alive. The dogs are growling at him and snapping their jaws. He looks terrified.
Ramsey:Tell me boy. *puts his cigar in his pocket*Who sent you?
Garth: I'm a member of a gang called Asia Minor, we're snooping around warehouses looking for shit to steal!
Ramsey:Dissapointing....Heartbreaking. Your momma ever teach you the ten commandments boy? Thou shalt not steal?
Garth:Well, I...
Ramsey: *Diabolical grin, has surprisingly sharp teeth* Or lie? *Snaps fingers*
One of the grunts loosens the grip on his dog's leash, the dog gets almost within biting range of Garth's feet.
Garth:GYAAAAAAH!!!
Ramsey:I can tell just looking at your suit you ain't a member of no common street gang! "asia Minor"? What kind of name is that!? Never heard of it! The Miao's know the streets like the back of their hands boy! Now start talking, the dogs here're gettin' mighty hungry lookin' at those roasted haunches of yours!
Dogs:*barking*
Garth:*Starting to tear up* I...I can't tell you! They'll kill me!
Ramsey: Tck tck tck...Covered in third degree burns and surrounded by hungry dogs that're gettin' closer with every spoonful of bullshit yer feedin' me! You think we WON'T kill you!? *snaps fingers*
The leash on the dogs are lossened, one of them manages to get his teeth on Garth's foot and begins thrashing it violently, Garth screams in agony.
Barbatos:*quietly* Poor bastard, Ling Ling will probably want him back though. *Sneaks behind a grunt and covers his mouth before jamming his arm through his back and out his chest, then tossing his body behind a crate*
Shadow:*Walks behind one and swiftly decapitates him with his claws as he turns around*
Barbatos:*crawls on top of a crate, grabbing a grunt by jamming his hand into his mouth and pulling him up, biting off the top of his head, then dropping the body*
Garth:*Cries as the dog is pulled back, his foot's gnawed to the bone*
Ramsey:I'll give you one thing. You're loyal enough to endure being eaten alive by dogs! Say boy, we could always use someone like you in our family! We're lacking skilled spies, and we can work on gettin' you patched up!
Garth:*Spits at Ramsey, pitifully missing his face*
Ramset:*Shakes his head and snaps his fingers*
A dog leaps onto Garth and begins mauling his arm, garth drowns out the area with his screams.
Shadow:*Glides from the top of a crate to another, startling a grunt and slicing his head off with his left wing on the way there*
Barbatos:*crawls along the wall of the right side of the warehouse, dropping down on a grunt, jamming both of his fists into his mouth, and splitting his head in half from the inside*
Shadow:*looks at Barbatos with a competitive glint in his eyes*........*impales a guard through the back of the head and out of the mouth with his tail*
Barbatos:Hm! *Crawls along the ground, pouncing on a guard while covering his mouth and pulling his head off*
Shadow:*Sneaks up on a guard and impales his head with his claws*
Barbatos:*reaches down and grabs one around the neck with his arm, pulling him up and gripping his head with his left hand, tightening it until it pops*
The two race eachother to stealthily kill guards, going at a similiar pace. After a minute, they managed to kill all but six who are extremely close to Ramsey.
Miao grunt:*sniffs the air* You smell blood?
Ramsey: Surprised you can smell it over the stink of burnt flesh. Yep, this lizard here's got alot of blood in 'em!
Garth:*shivering, the flesh on his right arm is completely gone, he's missing a foot and the other's mangled*
Miao Grunt 2:*notices a grunt hanging from the ceiling from his own intestines* !!!WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!
Ramsey:!?
Barbatos and Shadow move swiftly through the crates.
Ramsey:*Growls and puts his cigar in his mouth*
The dogs whine and Barbatos leaps out and begins maiming them, tearing them apart by thrashing one in his mouth and strangling two with his hands. Shadow leaps down and slices off the hand of a grunt, causing him to drop his weapon, and stabbing his claws into his eyes, killing him.
Ramsey:*Puffs into his cigar, launching a stream of fire from the mouth*
Barbatos and Shadow hastily dodge, the blast hits a living Miao grunt.
Barbatos:*Slashes at a dog, tearing out its throat with his nails, causing the remaining two to flee*
Barbatos:What the hell's up with your cigar?
Ramsey: This is my little friend "Aligheiro".
Shadow:*growls* A living weapon!
Barbatos:Oh, I've heard about those.
Alighiero:*puffs fire from its maw as its pupil shifts in their direction*
Ramsey:*cracks his knuckles as the remaining 5 armed guards ready for combat*

Ramsy: *Sets the cigar between his lips again*
Barbatos: *Dives out of the way*
Shadow: *Flies straight up*
Ramsy lets loose another jet of fire, two of the Miaos charging Barbatos as he’s getting out of the way, two more taking potshots at Shadow and one disappearing behind the crates, hoping to ambush them at a later time.
Shadow: *Dodging frantically, but eventually gets a hole shot in one of his wings and crashed behind a moderately sized crate*
Barbatos: *Simply grabs the thug’s heads as they get too close and smashes them together* You would have been better off using guns. *Charges Ramsy, but gets set on fire for his trouble* HOT! HOTHOTHOT! *Runs aimlessly around the warehouse, yelping*
Shadow: *Pries open the crate he’s hiding behind, seeing a number of jars* … *Takes out one and blindly tosses it over*
Miao 1: Get out of the way! *Does so, diving and dragging the other guy with him*
Shadow: *Risks a glance out, seeing the jar shatter and the substance dissolve whatever it comes into contact with* Corrosives? *Picks up the crate and tosses it at them, ignoring that he’s suddenly on fire*
Miao 2: Thanks. That was clo- *Eyes widen in alarm*
The crate smashes right on top of them and the jars shatter. I’m not going to describe it.
Shadow: *Frantically gets out of the flamethrower’s range and manages to extinguish himself* *Desperately throws himself behind a large pile of crates at the same time Barbatos does*
Both: *Stare at the Miao grunt between them*
Miao: Eheheh… I, er… oh balls. *Head explodes as both Barbatos and Shadow punch it from either side simultaneously.*
Shadow: Wait. Who’s kill was that?
Barbatos: It doesn’t matter. What DOES matter is how we’re doing to get out of here alive and without our flesh melting off.
Shadow: *Glares*
Barbatos: Don’t complain, you’ll regenerate in half an hour. … Okay, I have a plan but you’re not going to like it.
Ramsy: *Slowly removes the cigar from his mouth and breathes out a stream of smoke* Give up yet? I won’t blame you if you do, I have a very fearsome weapon. I can shoot sticky fireballs that explode when I flick it. But I can spare you both from that, the Miao family’s always happy to recruit capable… things, like yourselves.
Shadow: What the hell kind of soldier would I be if I switched sided in the middle of battle?! *Screeches in rage and charges*
Ramsy: *Puts the weapon back in his mouth and an incredibly small fireball shoots from the end, hitting and sticking to Shadow, still burning while stuck to him* *Removes it and flicks it as if removing some soot from the end*
There is a fiery explosion. As the flames subside, Shadow is revealed to still be standing. Then the rest of the smoke clears and it’s revealed that his eyes are glazed over, he looks like a burn victim where the fire made a special effort to be particularly thorough and smells of burnt flesh.
Shadow: *Collapses limply*
Barbatos: *Roars and lunges towards him, dodging out of the way when yet another stream of fire’s sent in his direction, ending up behind Ramsy and backing away, snarling*
Ramsy: You already know this thing has range, what’s the point of putting distance between us… (Mockingly) dog?
Barbatos: *Snarls* I don’t like getting set on fire and it needed to look convincing
Ramsy: Huh? *Is cracked over the back of the head with a blunt object*
Shadow: (Standing behind him, mace in hand and a scowl on his face) (Raspy voice) You’re right, I didn’t like that plan.
Barbatos: Impressive. I didn’t think you’d be able to stand.
Shadow: My muscles are about to give out if that’s any comfort. Anyway, a Sarg’s nervous system’s dulled to let us continue at maximum efficiency until our muscles literally give out or we die. If I caught fire or he launched another fireball, the burning would have killed me. *Looks at his hand, seeing the muscle slowly start to knit itself back together* In four hours, I should completely regenerate.
Barbatos: I see. It takes less for me to regenerate.
Shadow: Then why weren’t you the bait?!
Barbatos: There’s only one of me so he probably would have made sure to finish the job and I really don’t like getting set on fire.
Shadow: Neither do I! … Oh, who cares. Who won?
Barbatos: I think the total bodycount was the same for mooks, but I get him. *Gestures to Ramsey’s body. Where he was hit is bleeding and has formed a pool of blood around his head*
Shadow: What?! Why?! I was the one who clubbed him!
Barbatos: But it was my plan.
Shadow: And it was my mace!
Barbatos: And you wouldn’t have hit him with that mace without my plan.
Shadow: Okay, okay. Your plan, my mace, we both get the kill. *Adds up in his head* … We tied.
Barbatos: Hmm! You didn’t do too badly for a friend of that cat.
Shadow: I was a soldier long before I met her. … This soldier… (grudgingly) respects your combat capabilities. *Legs give out so he drags himself over to a crate and props himself up against it*
Brabatos: I’ll take that as a compliment. *Picks up Aligheiro* Ling Ling will want to take a look at this.
Shadow: Indeed. They’re rare even among the human world and dangerous enough to make our armies focus exclusively on anyone with one during battles. *Stares at the weapon* How did such a small gang get their hands on this thing? If they had it at the height of their power, the Wongs wouldn’t have had a chance, so I’m guessing they only got it recently…
Barbatos: We’ll figure it out later. Right now, we need to get back to the mansion.
Shadow: Correction. YOU need to get back to the mansion. I need to wait for my muscles to regenerate so it’s safe to move without dying.
Barbatos: You’ll escape when I’m gone, I’m not stupid. … Not when I don't want to be.
Shadow: So you’d stay with me for four hours? I’m touched, but our friend here, *Nods towards Garth* is dying and he can’t regenerate like I can. And I don’t think there are Wongs equipped to carry someone in this condition anywhere close. Either you stay with me and make sure I don’t escape, or take my word and save the lizard. Your choice, Barbatos.

Dimensional Monitoring, Lizodia IslandLizodian: *seated at a monitoring station* Satellite's picked up something in China! Nox: China? Must be those damn Wongs again. Onyx: Probably another gang war with the Miaos. Think we should send Tai in? Nox: No, we don't need to resort to that extreme. Speaking of which, is he back yet? Lizodian: The prince isn't in the training room, sir. But two of our dimensional visitors are. Nox: Wonder what's keeping him. Onyx: Never know with him. (Maybe...) Nox: As soon as he's able, we need to run more tests on him. Combat tests, of course. Onyx: I'm sure he'd be up for it. I bet he's curious to know what he can do as well. *at Lizodia Island Castle Town* Tai: *in front of a jewelry shop* Well Tai, it's now or never. *walks in* Unknown Location, Remnant*a man with orange hair wearing a white jacket, a black and red bowler hat carrying a cane walks into a building* Unknown Woman: Did you take care of them, Roman? Roman: Yes, I took care of Red and her three pals. They won't be coming back. Unknown Woman: Good to know. Now do the same to the other four. (Major thanks to Shadow for helping me figure out how Ruby and her friends got to the MFFJ-R universe.)

Barbatos:*Sighs and shrugs* Oh well, what can be done. I'm expecting to see you back at the mansion later. *Puts Garth over his shoulder and walks out of the building*
A group of Wongs drives by and roll down the windows to their vehicles.
Wong:How did it go-Holy shit! Garth!?
Garth:*Muttering and gibbering, terrified and in agony*
Barbatos:We managed to get to him before he died, but he's going to need critical attention if he's going to live.
Wong:Shit! Do us a favor and drop him off at a hospital, I don't think any of us are quick enough to make it in time! Don't worry about him getting arrested or anything, we'll get him back later after he gets all the care he needs.
Barbatos:Very well...Oh, and Shadow is in there. He's injured fairly badly but regenerating. keep an eye on him while I get Garth to a hostpital.
Wong:Alright then, just get a move on, hospitals right here! *hands him a map*, Garth's making wierd squeaky noises and coughing his own melted flesh!
Garth:*Doing so*
Barbatos crouches and begins leaping off at rapid speeds towards the hospital.
Wong:*looks through the door and steps back out* Hot damn, you two turned the inside of this warehouse into a scene from an italian horror film!
Wong 2: So, how'd it go?
Shadow:*Hisses, exhausted*
Wong2: OOoookay. We'll just let you rest there while we investigate the Miao crate.
Finger's walks in, he opens the crate and looks inside.
There are scores of jars and bottles, of various sizes, containing a large variety of colorful and dangerous looking substances.
Wong:Now this...is crazy. I can see why'd they want to keep this thing secure. All kinds of animal venom, dragon oral gland extract, stomach acid....Liquid Nitrogen, all kinds of dangerous substances, and expensive! lets pack this stuff up, sure Ms. Wong will find a use for it....
The wongs begin loading the substances into the back of their limosines, sealing them up to prevent a lethal spillage.
A grunt walks up to Shadow.
Grunt: Hey buddy, we really need to clear out of here before somebody shows up and we get in trouble. We have some pretty nice backseats in the limos for you to lay on.
Shadow:*Hisses*
Grunt:Look, we're going to be knee deep in shit if the cops show up! You want to pay off that roof or not!?
Shadow:*Growls* I....
A grunt walks by talking on a cell phone, he accidentally bumps into Shadow, tipping him over.
Shadow:*Weak hiss*
Wong:*leaps back*EEEEP,DON'TKILLMEEEEEEEE
Shadow:.....
Grunt:...I don't think he can move.
Shadow:Huh. So you noticed.
Grunt 2:Welp, lets pick him up!
Two grunts pick up the irritated sarg and put him in the back of a limo. Everyone hops in and drives back to the mansion.
At the hospital, Barbatos drops Garth in a wheelchair and sparta kicks it to roll into the doors.
Barbatos:Well, now that's taken care of...*leaps off towards the mansion*
Ling Ling's office.
Barbatos steps in, along with Fingers.
Fingers:TEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! *shakes head violently as he holds up a jar of green fluid*
Ling Ling:So the crate was full of chemicals, poisons, monster extracts....
Barbatos:Yes.
Fingers: We sent a few off to the forensics. We should be getting a report back any minute now.
Barbatos:Hey, you can talk now?!
Fingers:Nah, after spending enough time with me people can begin to interpret what I say more clearly.
Barbatos:..But its....*sigh* Whatever, more convinient. I won't question it.
Ling Ling:So, how did Shadow perform?
Barbatos:VERY well. I'm pleased to say he even managed to keep pace with me when we were assasinating all the grunts in there. He wound up getting injured pretty badly though, your men are driving what's left of him to the mansion.
Ling Ling:Are you certain he's crippled enough for you to leave him alone?
Barbatos:Positive, anyway I had to. I was the only one swift enough to get Garth to a hospital before he died. *hands her a map* This one.
Ling Ling:Garth's alive!? Excellent! In that case, you probably did the right thing. Anything else to report?
Barbatos:Yes, the Miaos were being led by a hulking brute that used this odd cigar to attack. He called it "Aligheiri". *holds it up*
Ling Ling:*Takes it and looks at it*....Hrm.
Aligheiri: *Eye glares at Ling Ling's breasts*
Ling Ling:*pops it in her mouth and looks out the window, breathing lightly into it*
A puff of flame erupts from the mouth of Alighieri.
Ling Ling:*eyes widen* A living weapon eh? *looks over it*....And it's a illegal one to boot.
Barbatos:illegal?
ling Ling: Due to the destructive power a living weapon wields, they're made only for select people, and imprint on that single person. Usually royalty, the rich and powerful, the list goes on. This one is obviously a "Home-Made" living weapon...Which is...Extremely hard to believe.
Barbatos:How so?
Ling Ling: For one thing, these weapons are incredibly difficult to forge, it takes years upon years of training and refinement to be able to create a weapon thats fully functional. The weaponsmiths that forge these are kept few in number, and all of them are forced to live under the constant watchful eye of authorities.
Barbatos:Sounds horrid.
Ling Ling: It is. Their salaries are pretty damn nice though.
Alighieri:*Sputters out ash and screeches*
Ling Ling:*Wags it in front of her face*...Poor thing. Obviously the technique was flawed on this one.
A grunt enters the room holding a folder full of paperwork.
Grunt:Forensics are back. Here's your copy ma'am. *hands it to Ling Ling*
Ling Ling:*Reading*....Huh. So the oil on these objects is Transmogrification oil?
Jackie:...What's transmogrification oil?
Fingers:Basically its a mixture thats used by alchemists to make transmutation go more smoothly. Slathering it on the ingredients will cause them to blend with eachother better and allows the shape of the final product to be more malleable. I know they use the stuff in Amestris to create Chimeras for their military. Its the only way to make them mix properly without turning them into an abomination writhing in agony....it also makes really good lotion.
Ling Ling:*looks at Alighieri* Hrm. So they're using Alchemy to form living weapons then? Odd, I didn't think such a thing would be possible with dead, mundane parts.
Fingers:*hisses through his teeth* Unless they're using some form of human transmutation in the process.
Ling Ling:Thats bad, right?
Fingers: Considered among Alchemists to be an unforgivable sin. I've never heard of it being used to make living weapons though, might work differently.
Ling Ling:Alright. Gather everybody up as soon as Shadow's able. We're going to start hunting down who ever is crafting these living weapons. if the Miaos manage to create more of these, we're dead. Hell, they may very well end up conquering all of china while they're at it, or worse!

Post by Spectre on May 26, 2014 0:14:41 GMT -6
An hour later, everyone is gathered into the Foyer. Shadow is lying on a couch injured and partially asleep.
Ling Ling:Alright...Barbatos, Honji, Jackie, Shadow, we've discovered the location of where theWongs are manufacturing the living weapons. After thorough scouting, we've decided we can take the place in a good old fashioned search and destroy. In other words...I'm giving you four the rest of the day off. You've done exceptionally well.
Honji:Woah, wait, just like that? You were talking about how they're a danger to all of China about an hour ago...
Ling Ling:Yes. However after locating them, we've found that none of their men posess any living weapons. Evidently the cigar was the only thing their creator "successfully" made. Anyway, I need to get the men out of the mansion. Can't let them get rusty. You four have single handidly done the work of over a hundred grunts today anyway. So..Enjoy yourselves a bit.
Everyone:.....
Ling Ling:Anyway Barbatos, here's your paycheck. *Hands him a check*
Barbatos:...*looks at it* No clue how valuable this is....
Ling Ling:As for the rest of you, you'll have 10% of your checks to do with as you please since you destroyed part of my house, plus the costs of keeping you here.
Jackie:Sounds fair.
SS:*Sleeping*
Honji:*Takes the check and shrugs* Thanks....*Eyes widen* thats alot more than I expected...
Ling Ling:Well you ARE working for one of the most powerful mafia's in China.
Jackie:*Looks at her check and looks disheartened* (I can't believe I'm accepting a paycheck from a mob boss...)*sighs* Guess I'll go around and try to get to know everyone better.
Barbatos:*leans towards her and grins* You can get to know me anytime, M'dear. I'm an open book. Granted the books heavily bloodstained and probably cursed to hell and back, but it's open.
Jackie:Uhh..Thanks for the offer. But I uhh..have alot of people I need to talk to.
Barbatos:*brief canine whine* Suit yourself. I'll be wondering around the property. Anybody spots trouble, just call me. I can hear you, trust me. *walks out of the room*
Honji:*looks outside*...Pretty sunny today. I'll probably just take a nap.
Ling Ling:There's a garden out back. It's also fenced in and guarded on the outside, but I think you'll find it quite serene. Show her there Jing.
Grunt:yes Ma'am. Follow me.
Honji:Alright!
Everyone wanders into different parts of the mansion, Shadow is carried to his room by a rather musclebound grunt.
Outside, Honji is taking a nap on top of a shrine in the Wong's garden near a pond. She's snoring lightly.
Honji:Zzzzz....Zzzzz...Zzzzz....
Barbatos Pops his head out from behind the shrine and looks at Honji with a malicious grin. His holds up a Radio and puts it beside her, turning it on. Kevin Macleod's creepiest music peices begin to play.
Honji:....
Barbatos:*Creeps behind the shrine and watches her*
A small amount of time passses. After about 3 minutes, Honji begins tossing and turning. 2 more minutes, she begins mumbling. 5 more she begins to obviously show signs of having a nightmare.
Barbatos:*Slowly rises up from the ground, getting to eye level with her* *grriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin*
Honji begins waking up slightly. Barbatos lets out a horrendously loud bark. Honji lets out a feline shriek and leaps ten feet into the air, landing in the fountain.
Barbatos falls onto the ground laughing.
Barbatos:Oh DAMN THAT WAS PRICELESS!!! *begins hitting the ground with his fist* KYAHAHAHAHAAA!!
Honji:*flailing around, drowning*
Barbatos:Ah, cats make the most priceless noises when scare, but you?! AHAHA!!! *slaps his knee*
Honji:*Scrambling and screaming under the water*
Barbatos:...Oh dear.
Barbatos walks over to the fountain and reaches his hand in, pulling up Honji by the back of her shirt. She tries to keep it from being pulled up in the front.
Barbatos:You alright cat?
Honji:*Shivering, cold, breathing heavily and coughing, holding her chest in pain*
Barbatos:....(Wow, this is...Almost legitimately pitiful.)
Honji:*Obviously enraged*PUT ME DOWN YOU PEICE OF SHIT!!!! *Uses one arm to viciously claw at him*
Barbatos:*Drops her back into the fountain*
Honji:*gets out, seething*
Barbatos:I see my harmless prank went a little too far?
Honji:Harmless...Hah....HARMLESS!? YOU NEARLY DROWNED ME YOU JACKASS, I HIT MY HEAD FALLING INTO THE FOUNTAIN, I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK, I MEAN..FEEL MY HEART! ITS BEATING A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR! WAIT, NO, DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'TEVEN COME NEAR ME!!! *Storms into the mansion*
Barbatos:........
Guard:....That was uhh...Kind of mean. Seriously.
Barbatos:Hey, i didn't mean for the girl to get injured....Much. Just wanted a good laugh.
Guard 2:Well listen here. If you want to work here, you're going to need to get along with your fellow employees, even if they're temporary. You'd better go and apologize. Ling Ling's going to be PISSED.
Barbatos:*sigh* I'll do it later. I'm going to watch that...TV thing you people are always going on about. *walks into the mansion*
10 minutes later...
Barbatos sits down on a couch in the employee lounge. He has the television all to himself since all the grunts are off raiding.
Barbatos:*turns it on*....Amazing how they make all these pictures move...*begins fiddling with the buttons* What a confusing device..
Honji(All dried off): Looks from behind a nearby door. She is very, very pissed. Indeed, the seering hatred radiating from her glare could catch something on fire.
Barbatos: *Picks up a remote and begins monkeying with it*....What the hell do all these buttons do?
Honji:*Whispers to herself* Just how old IS that bastard?
Barbatos:Lost count. Spending time locked underground in a plague infested hellhole will do that to you.
Honji:!!!! (Wait....Thats right, If his hearing is that good then...)
Barbatos: Grah, this is frustrating! I'm going to get a drink! *Walks off*
Honji:......*creeps over to the TV set, setting it on Mute, then turning the volume up to the maximum level, and turns on the nearby stereos connected to the TV*
Barbatos walks back in with a bottle of Vodka. He crouches in front of the television.
Barbatos.Where the hells that remote? *begins looking around*
Honji:*grins underneath her mask and puts her finger over the mute button*
Barbatos lowers his head near a stereo and...
Honji clicks it.
Barbatos lets out a howling scream of agony as he falls back, flailing away from the TV like a fish out of water. He's whining loudly as the dialogue from the television ravages his eardrums.
Honji begins changing the channels. Turning it to music videos, she picks a Power Metal channel. Barbatos begins violently clawing his ears, drawing blood.
Honji:*Plugging her ears with her fingers as she watches Barbatos writhe, satisfied with herself*
Barbatos:*Manages to get up, but loses balance, sliding into the television, knocking it off and breaking it*
The noise stops.
Barbatos:*turns towards Honji with his eyes narrowed to a needlepoint, he growls deeply and snarls, showing all of his teeth* CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honji:*mrow*
Honji screeches and runs off at top speed, Barbatos chasing after her. He knocks down numerous peices of decor as he chases her, and shreds rugs with his claws as he runs.
Honji:*desperately running* NONONONONONONONONO!!!!
Barbatos:*steadily gaining on her*I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR EARS OFF AND MAKE A HEADBAND OUT OF THEM!!
Honji turns over a couch in the hallway, Barbatos stumbles into it and trips.
Honji walks around the corner and picks up a rather expensive looking vase. She prepares to use it as a Bludgeon for Barbatos.
Footsteps are heard approaching. Honji screams and slams the incoming entity.
its a rather well-dressed Wong.
Honji:...Ooops...
*minutes later*
Honji and Barbatos are sitting in Ling Ling's office. She looks infuriated.
Ling Ling:..Do you...Have any idea...How much damage your bickering as caused our family!?
Barbatos:*Holds his hand up to his ear*WHAT!? THIS STUPID CAT BLEW OUT MY EARDRUMS! CAN YOU REPEAT THAT!?
Ling Ling:*Glares at Honji*
Honji:He started it, I was taking a nap by the pond and he scared the hell out of me, I almost drowned!!!
Ling Ling:*Growls* I don't care WHO started it. Point is, you continued it! You've broken numerous countless peices of art, put one of our administrators into a coma, and the sound from the television blew out some of our windows! You are going to have this piled on top of your current debt!
Honji:But-
Ling Ling:NO BUTS. And Barbatos, I expected better of you! As punishment, you're going to help pay this off! AND your paychecks are going to contribute to their debt!
Barbatos:DAMN IT!!
Honji:Serves you right!
Ling Ling:And now for both of your punishment...
Honji:...What!?
Ling Ling:Both of you are going on Mouser duty in one of our warehouses!
Barbatos/Honji:!?
Ling Ling: Get outside and get in the car. You're going to clean every single rat out of our largest warehouse!
Honji:I'm...Being used as a MOUSER!? This is...THATS RACIST!
Ling Ling:Exactly, now GET GOING! *points at the door*
The two sulk and walk out of the room. Exchanging hateful glances as they exit the building.
Later, they're driven to a huge warehouse.
Wong Grunt:Alright. This is basically it. You're our mousers. You hunt rats, and kill them. I don't care what you do with them. Eat 'em, toss 'em, whatever. Just make sure they're gone! I'm under order not to let you out of this building until its completely clean! *opens the door*
The two go in, the door is shut behind them and the lights are turned on, they're fairly dim though.

Honji: Ugh! Rat duty! Could Ling Ling pick ANY job more degrading than this!?.....MROW! *pounces on a passerby rat*
Barbatos:*Watching her chase rats, amused* I think it's fitting.
Honji: Hey, don't slack off, you're on rat duty to!
Barbatos: *Growls* I savor my food. *Lifts up a struggling rat by the tail and lowers it into his mouth, closing it and pulling out a skeleton*
Honji: *Gags* Bleh!
Barbatos: Least you could do is not waste them. They're perfectly fine rats!
Honji: And I am a cat. How many cats do you actually see eating rats when they're not starving?
Barbatos:*Growls* None. Anyway...*points at the inside of his mouth* Just toss 'em in.
Honji: *Holds up the dead rat by its tail* ... Well, at least you're a good garbage can. *Tosses it in*
Barbatos: *Snaps down on it and slurps the tail into his mouth like a noodle* Garbage can? This is fine meat… Then again back when I was stuck in that hellhole Povegalia I was lucky enough to at least get a rat every once in a while.
Honji: (Mutters) Then this must be a five-star meal for you.
Barbatos: *Shrugs* Not the best I've had since I escaped, but it's better than nothing. *Eyes a rat skittering by on the floor*.......*Lashes out his tongue and pulls it into his mouth, swallowing it whole*
Honji: *Death-glares him* At least you CAN eat.
Barbatos: On a diet, are we?
Honji: *Angrily points at her iron mask* You could say that!
Barbatos: Oh! Right. Want me to peel that off for you? Maybe it'll make you a bit less hostile.
Honji: I.... (Awkwardly) Thanks?
Barbatos: You’re welcome.....?
There is an awkward pause
Barbatos: I can probably pick it with my nails if I have an idea of its workings, or I could just keep trying to chew through it.
Honji: *Hesitantly moves towards him, exposing the lock*
Barbatos:*Looks into it* Hmmmmm.....*sharpens his fingernail in between his incisors to a fine point and jams it in* Lesse...Just keep turning it till it clicks I suppose?
Honji: I... I think so. It was only put on two days ago and hasn't been removed since.
Barbatos: Two days without eating? Hrm, I suppose that’s pretty harsh by most standards...*Click* Feel any looser?
Honji: *Cringing* Owowowowow! That just made it tighter! I don't think the lock can be picked with claws! Ow!
Barbatos:*Pulls his claws out* Damn..*scratches his head* I only have experience fiddling with more primeval locks. What sort of material is it made out of?
Honji: (In pain) I don't know! Get me out of this thing, it REALLY hurts!
Barbatos: Hang tight, I'm going to try something. *Focuses*
Barbatos’ body mutates and he shrinks into a 2-foot long rat.
Barbatos: Aha! That was easier than I was expecting!
Barbatos climbs onto Honji's back and begins gnawing through the mask.
Honji: Yesyesyes, hurry up!
Barbatos: *Gnawing, metal shavings are starting to fly off the mask*
After a while, he manages to completely remove it.
Barbatos:*turns back into his usual form* Excellent!....Now you should have nothing in the way of catching me more rats~ *Lies down on a crate and yawns*
Honji: *Sags in relief* That's... that's much better. (Face scrunches up awkwardly) Th... Thhhhhh..... Thank... you?
Barbatos: You’re welcome, you can thank me in the form of catching me more rats, watching you is amusing. Its like dinner theatre!
Honji: (Indignant) I am not your personal show!
Barbatos:Hmph. So ungrateful...*Shrugs* last time I gnaw through a solid metal mask.
Honji: ... (Reluctantly) Oh, fine. *Goes back to chasing rats*
Barbatos: Good show! *grabs another rat that skitters beside the crate and bites its head off*
The two hunt rats for a while. More accurately, Honji hunts the rats and Barbatos cleans up.
Honji: *Stabs a rat with her claws, picks it up and looks at it without removing it*
Rat: *Screeches*
Honji: *Jerks back, flinging it off in alarm*
Barbatos:Amused by torture, are we? Typical of a cat...
Honji: Hey, I thought it was dead!
Barbatos: *Lazily looks off to the side* ...Hey, what’s the matter with that one? *points*
Honji: What? *Looks*
A 4 foot long rat wearing a dragonborn helmet is gnawing on a wooden crate.
Honji: That's... ah... what is that?
Wong Grunt:*looks in* That reminds me! We have some of those Swedish rats get imported to china here and there, so be careful!
Honji: *Shrugs* It's just a big rat, no problem. *Approaches with an air of confidence, drawing her sword*
Rat: *Looks up at her, twitching its nose, obviously not intimidated, more curious*
Barbatos:(Something smells odd about that rat...Might need to warn her...Nah, it'll be more fun to watch.)
Honji: *Freezes* *Moves towards it as a painfully slow pace, her other hand moving to the hilt and drawing the sword back for a strike*
Rat:*twitches its nose and goes back to gnawing the supply crate, completely ignoring Honji*
Honji: *Swiftly stabs, the blade aiming for it's throat*
Rat:(*turns around and narrows eyes, letting out an earsplitting screech that launches a shockwave sending her sprawling into Barbatos, who involuntarily catches her*
Honji: *Curled up, hands over her flattened ears in pain, her sword having been dropped*
Barbatos: Cats...Cats fear little so long as its smaller than them....But beware the signs, for there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is dovahskeever... DRAGON RAT!
Dragonrat: SQUEAK-Y-SQUEEEAAAAAK!!!!!* Launches a massive blue shockwave from its mouth as song of the dragonborn starts*
Barbatos: Also known as the common Swedish house rat.
Honji: *Looks up at him and glares* If that thing was common, there wouldn't BE any houses left in Sweden!
Barbatos: Every once in a while, one's born with the soul of a dragon. We just got really, really unlucky.
Honji: Survival now, story later! *Jumps out of his arms and leaps out of the shockwave's way*
Dragonrat:*Breathes a huge stream of mixed elemental breath, containing frost and fire*
Barbatos:*Melted down to the bone, which is frozen* Ouchcccc.....h.h.h.h.h....
Honji: *Screeches as the end of her tail catches fire* *Grabs a convenient bucket of water and unthinkingly tosses it over her* (Wet and very, VERY pissed off) Always the tail. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST MY TAIL?!
Dragonrat: *Draws a broadsword and shield, leaping over to Honji as he begins to slash at her with unexpected skill and poise*
Honji: *Desperately dodges its sword until it strikes with the shield, catching her off guard and dazing her*
Dragonrat: *Raises its sword in both paws*
Barbatos: *Jumps in between them, taking the blow for Honji*
Honji: *Uses the opportunity and sprints on all fours towards her sword, picking it up and skidding to a halt on three limbs*
Dragonrat: *Breathes a stream of fire*
Honji: *Leaps out of the way*
Barbatos: *Is caught in the stream, getting charred* This is getting really old. *His flesh pretty much picks itself off the floor and slaps itself back onto him, quickly regenerating and regrowing hair* *Leaps at the rat*
Dragonrat: *Thrusts its sword forward, stabbing Barbatos through the throat, the blade held horizontal* *Tears it out through the side of his neck, spinning around and fully decapitating him before blocking behind it, deflecting a backstab from Honji and smacking her on the head with the hilt*
Barbatos: Could you grab my head? I can’t see where I’m going.
Honji: *Staggering back, clutching her head in pain* Okay. *Removes her hands and quickly leans backwards similar-ish to the Matrix, the blade barely missing her nose* *Runs towards the disembodied head*
The Dragonrat disappears and reappears between the two, preparing to stab
Honji: ! *Slides underneath the weapon once more, her feet leading the way*
Barbatos: Wait, nonono don’t-
Honji: *Kicks the head, angling it so it bounces off the roof and lands on his neck stump*
Barbatos: … *Twists his head so it’s facing the right way* Well that’s one way of doing it. *Starts trying to get some feeling back into his body*
Dragonrat: *Sidesteps Honjis stab, catches her arm under its own and violently snaps it at the elbow*
Honji: *Screams in pain*
Dragonrat: *Smashes its shield into her face, dazing her, followed by two quick follow ups and swinging it to she’s struck across the side of the face, sending blood and teeth flying from her mouth* *Slashes her across the midsection, spinning with the strike and stabbing her when facing away from her, the blade running right through her heart*
Honji: *Eyes widen, falling to one knee as the blade’s retracted*
The Dragonrat raises its sword, preparing to decapitate her, but is forced to switch targets when Barbatos lunges at it
Dragonrat: *Blocks his claws and smacks him across the face with its shield, drawing back the blade* *Emits an elongated shriek of agony and falls to the ground*
Honji: *Clumsily holding her sword left-handed, having just sliced both the rats hamstrings* *Drops it and applies pressure to her wound*
Barbatos: *Snarls at the rat and opens his jaws as wide as possible*
Dragonrat: *Eyes widen* SQUEEEEEEEE-
Barbatos: *Bites its head off, thoroughly chewing before swallowing* *Notices Honji* Argh...That looks bad. Dunno if even I could get you to a hospital in time...*Begins pacing* Lets see, lets see, what to do…. Ugh, if she loses her top thief Ling Ling's going to be pissed… *Eyes widen* Oh...I have a solution to your predicament, but I think you'll want to consent to it first.
Honji: *Applying pressure to her wound with her un-broken arm* Just... go ahead.
Barbatos: Are you certain? it's life changing...I'm offering you to become one of my progeny. A...Vampire-werewolf or something like that. Either way you'll become strong, immortal. Men will tremble at your approach *begins getting hammy* You'll walk as a lion among sheep!
Honji: Look, d... whatever your name is, I'm dying. I can't sugarcoat it, I'm loosing too much blood and without your way I'm going to be a feline corpse in a few minutes. I didn't plan to die in a filthy warehouse on RAT DUTY of all things! *Collapses, her breathing getting heavy*
Barbatos: Alright then! Be still.....Okay, how did it go again...*scratches his head* Never did observe how others did it... I think I have to feed you my blood! *Pops open her mouth and slices his wrist with a claw* ….. No, wait.. I think I have to inject you with it. *chips off the tops of his fangs, they leak blood. He plunges them into her neck* That should do it.. No, wait, I think I have to drain you of all your blood first, THEN inject you with my own!
Honji: OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!
Barbatos:*sucks her dry in seconds* Okay! Now comes the injection! *Bites back into her the split second she remains alive* There...Oh I hope this works.
Honji: *Turns from a shriveled husk back to normal*
Barbatos:...*prods her corpse* Wake up sleepy-head... How long does it take them to come to again?
Honji: *Eyes fly open and she's latched onto him in half a second, hands wrapped around his throat* I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Barbatos: *grins* I can't believe it worked! To be honest I had no idea what I was doing!
Honji: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT HURTS TO BE 100% DEHYDRATED?!
Barbatos: Haven't felt legitimate pain in ages. So...No. Quite a grip you have now, by the way.
Honji: *Still strangling him for all she's worth* REACT!
Barbatos: Eh?
Honji: *Sighs and drops to the floor* Never mind... *Gets to her feet and storms off, looking for rats to take out her frustration on*
Barbatos: Make sure you round them up in a neat little pile! I'm famished. ...YOURWELCOME.
Honji: *Pounces on a rat out of Barbatos' line of sight*
There is a strangled squeak and an unrealistically huge fountain of blood. Followed by a bloodless husk of a rat corpse sailing over crates and landing at Barbatos' feet
Honji: Sorry!
Barbatos:...*lashes his tongue out and eats it* Nice. Speaking of which, don't forget to feed! Raw meat, blood, tomatoes work for some.. Not sure how you'll react to sunlight yet.
Honji: ... Eh? You mean blood? Er... I don't really feel like it.
Barbatos: It's likely an acquired taste amongst previous mortals, to be sure. Oh well. More for me! ANYWAY...I've never really sire anybody before. And I'm not even sure I've done it correctly in your case. I am not your orthodox vampire, more of...I suppose you could call it a "hybrid"? Not sure if I've imparted lycanthropy or vampirism onto you. Or both. I suppose you'll need to explore your powers yourself. Not sure what your weaknesses are, but I just recommend being cautious.
Honji: (Slightly unsettled) So wait a minute. Does that make me your... daughter?
Barbatos: Technically?....yes, I suppose so. Welcome to the family, Honji!
Honji: Um... I don't know weather to be grateful or cry.
Barbatos:*Shrugs* Both? Anyway, go fetch daddy another rat, princess!
Honji: *Mutters* Keep treating me like a little girl and you get to fight the next dragon rat on your own, 'daddy'.
Barbatos: *Grins* I'm going to have so much fun with this!
Honji: *Groans* I should have just bled to death.
Barbatos: Less complaining, more agonized rat squeaks
Honji: *Sighs* Oh, alright.
Barbatos:*Lashes out his tongue and grabs a rat* Hopefully you'll inherit the tongue. Its quite fun eating with it!
Honji: I hope not! *Hunts around* And I think we’re done.
Barbatos: (Disappointed) Already? I was enjoying that. … Most of that. *Knocks on the warehouse door* Hey you! We’re done!
Wong grunt: Already? That was fast. Alright then, we’ll send someone to check and if you didn’t do it right, we’ll force you two to finish the job in frilly maid outfits.
Honji: *Eyes widen in horror and physically turns pink*
Barbatos: *Struggles not to laugh, completely loosing it when he looks at her*
Wong grunt: Alright, let’s go home. *Gets the two back in the truck and drives back to the mansion*

Back at the Wong Household.
The limo parks in front of the house, Honji and Barbatos emerge along with their escorts.
Grunt:There you are! Ling Ling wants to see you guys inside. Got someone we want you to meet.
Everyone heads into the main foyer. Ling Ling is sitting in her chair.
Ling Ling:I trust we won't have to worry about any rats OR further property damage?
Barbatos/Honji:*deadpan* No ma'am.
Ling Ling:Good. I've got my eye on you two. Anyway, we've successfully infilrated the stronghold and rescued the alchemist behind the engineering of the Miao's living weapons.
There is a rather short man sitting on the couch looking rather tiredm approximately 5'6. He's tan skinned, his hair is shaved really close to his head(almost bald) and he has a rather small moustache, his hair color evidently being a dark shade of green. His pupils are almost solid black.
Soldador:(Slight latino accent) Ehheh...Hey there. *looks around nervously* My name's Soldador. Sorry I don't look happy to be err...Rescued. I've had enough mafia interactions over the past month to last a lifetime...
Ling Ling:Don't worry Soldador. You'll find we're not your common cutthroat mob.
Soldador:*Sigh* I know..Thank you all for bringing down that foul Miao operation. My name is Soldador Brion. I'm currently the head living weapon forgemaster in the River Kingdom.
Honji:...River Kingdom?
Soldador:It's uhh..South of Canopy Kingdom. I suppose our part of the world isn't the most creative when it comes to naming our continents. *Scratches the back of his head*
Ling Ling:The River Kingdom? If you're from a continent that far away, how on earth did you end up in the hands of the Miaos?
Soldador:I had an order I needed to fill out here, actually. To sum it up I'm here on special request from someone pretty important I...Cannot give out my client's name. I hope you understand. Anywho, I was abducted from the hotel I was staying at and wound up being the Miao's slave.
Ling Ling:Hrm...Very well.
Soldador:Anyway I really must be going, so uhh...
Ling Ling:Now now, lets not be hasty. Perhaps you ought to stay with us for a while. The Miaos are obviously going to want to get you back into their clutches. Nobody knows them better than we do.
Soldador:Oh no..You're keeping me hostage!? *buries his face in his hands* I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!
Ling Ling:Being serious, you would probably be safer here than anywhere else.
Soldador:*Sigh* Don't lie to my face please. Just tell me what you want.
Ling Ling:Although my grunts rescued you from the Miao compound, a vast majority of our mission to discover you and foil the Miao's plot is thanks to our four agents. Jackie, Shadow, Honji, and Barbatos. *gestures towards them*
Soldador:Err..Ok..
Ling Ling:Now I have a request. I want these agents armed with living weapons. And not fakes obviously...
Soldador:Err..Fake?
Ling Ling:That cigar the goat was using. It was obviously flawed. I'd expect something alot more impressive from the top forgemaster in the River Kingdom.
Soldador:...*sigh* yes. it was a fake one I made using alchemy. A very cheap trick some people use to make imitation weapons. But they're very short-lived and nowhere near as strong as the real thing. ...Despite that, those thugs were probably close to figuring me out and would probably kill me...or torture me...Either way I should be grateful. Especially since your request is so reasonable, they were wanting a whole army loaded with living weapons...And you seem like decent enough people and..*Sulks* I probably don't have much of a choice...I'll equip your four agents with-
Barbatos:Make that three. I don't much care for weapons...
Soldador:*exhales* Right. Three. Okay so...You got my bag from there, right?
Grunt:*holds up a duffle bag* Y'mean this? Had some funny looking stuff in it.
Soldador:Exactly! Thank you. Those are my real tools used for making the weapons. I just told them it was scrap. Anyway, I'll need some components depending on what you request...You raided the warehouses right?
Ling Ling:Yes.
Soldador:I'll need the basic weapon or object, and an elemental component to go with it. Unless you don't favor elementals of course...Eh, just tell me what kind of weapon you're looking for. Make a rough sketch, list the features you want it to have...*takes out a notepad and a pencil*
SS:*grumbles* I'll pass.
Jackie:I'm good.
Honji:*Holds up the crossbow* Actually I'd like to make a request.
Soldador:Alright then, what is it?
Honji:Basically I want a living crossbow that doesn't use bolts but spits plasma projectiles.
Soldador:Alright then. No sketch?
Honji:Thats about it.
Soldador:Alright. Now I'll need a sample of your blood. It's used in the process to make the weapon imprint on you and synergize with your thoughts. *holds out a syringe*
Honji:*holds out her wrist* (I've personally had enough blood drawn for one day. Ugh.)
Soldador takes a blood sample and puts it in his pocket.
Soldador:Alright then. I'll need the crossbow and a plasma sample.
Honji:Oh, another thing. *hands him the crossbow* Any chance you can shrink it down to be more compact?
Soldador:Sure thing. Okay, I can work with this. Give me about an hour. Got a basement or something I can work in? I need to be alone.
Ling Ling:Of course. We have plenty of spare rooms downstairs. Make yourself comfortable in one. *Looks at a grunt* Lead him down to a room.
Grunt:Yes ma'am Come on Soldador.
The grunt escorts Soldador downstairs. He carries his duffle bag for him.
An hour later..
Everyone is casually waiting on the completion of Honji's weapon.
Soldador emerges from the basement holding a small black bracelet. Its rather thick looking with a slick survace, there are a pair of small horns protruding from the center of it.
Soldador:It's finished!
Ling Ling:lets head down to the targeting range and see what it can do.
Everyone follows Ling Ling(With the exception of Shadow.) Honji looks rather eager to see her new weapon in action.
They arrive in an underground shooting range.
Soldador:Alright then..*slides bracelet onto Honji's wrist*
Honji:*looks at it curiously*
The bracelet springs to life. It spreads into a snake-like tail that coils around her wrist, the horn crest rises to the top and unfolds into a crossbow with a pair of sharply curved horns for the bow, and a toothy mouth in the middle of them that hisses slightly.
Soldador:Honji, meet your new living weapon. I'll allow you to name him. He resonates with your thoughts to produce plasma projectiles of varying sizes, effects, and power. It generates its ammunition by absorbing light from any source, so ammunition shouldn't be too much of a concern unless you use him excessively. Go ahead and give him a try!

Lizodia Island Palace, Training Room
Yang: *punches the head off a training bot* Yeah! Ruby: *slices a training bot in half* Uh, how many of these do you have? Lizodian: As many as you need. We can just recycle the damaged ones. Yang: That's cool! *punches a training bot in the gut as she fires a shot in her gauntlet* Onyx: *walks in* Not bad, girls. Ruby: Hey, Onyx. What's up? Onyx: Not much. Figured I'd come down before Tai and Ariel got back. *suddenly a fireball hits one of the training bots* Onyx: What the hell? *turns around and sees Tai and Ariel* Oh, hey guys. Ruby: Hey Tai, hey Ariel. Ariel: Sorry we're late. Ruby: That's fine. Yang: I'm Yang, Ruby's big sister! Ariel: Nice to meet you. Yang: So Tai, how did you throw that fireball? Tai: I'm a Dragon Lizodian. Yang: But you look like a human. Tai: *changes into his Lizodian form* We can shape shift. *changes back to his human form* Yang: Wow. Faunus can't do that. Tai: One of the perks of being Lizodian. Anyway, we're getting off track. I have a very important announcement. Onyx: You and Ariel are getting married. Tai: Still calling that, I see. Well, you can finally stop. Ariel, show 'em. Ariel: *holds out her right hand which has a diamond ring on it* Onyx: Well, I'll be damned. You finally did it. Ruby: That's great! Yang: Congratulations! Tai: Thanks guys. Onyx: I take it that was what held you two up. Tai: Yeah. Had to let the parents know. Onyx: Make sense. So when's the date? Tai: We haven't decided yet. Ariel: I'm still getting over the fact that he actually proposed. Onyx: Not surprised. You are "out of his league" after all. *can't keep a straight face and bursts into laughter* Kron, you IDIOT! Tai: He's an idiot, jealous, possibly racist, need I go on? Onyx: *calms down* You forgot "coward." Tai: Right. Onyx: Not that I'm defending him, but I'm not sure if he actually is racist. Remember, Ariel did slap him. Granted, he deserved it, but still. Tai: Which is why I said "probably." Onyx: Good point. Ruby: Think Kron would give us any trouble? Onyx: He'd probably run off crying after he saw you pull out your sniper rifle-scythe. Tai: Yeah, you guys have some pretty sweet weapons. Is that a thing in your world? Ruby: Yup! Yang: Out of the four of us, only Weiss has a "basic" weapon. Even then, hers does have a revolver chamber near the hilt for holding Dust. Tai: Dust? Is that like some sort of magical material? Yang: Basically. Tai: Wonder if we could replicate it. I'll ask Weiss if she still has some. Onyx: *wrist communicator beeps* Huh? *answers and a hologram of Nox appears* Yes, Father? Nox: We need you, Prince Reptilius and our extradimensional visitors at Dimensional Monitoring ASAP. Princess Ariel can come as well. Onyx: Got it. We'll be right there. *ends communication* You heard him, let's go!
Dimensional Monitoring, 5 minutes later
Tai: What happened this time? Nox: We just picked up four more instances of dimensional activity. This time in different locations from the last four. Ruby: Think they could be from our world? Nox: It's very possible. Blake: Where were these instances detected? Nox: One in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one in London, England, one in Paris, France, and one in Shanghai, China. Onyx: China? Damn, that might get is caught up in the gang war between the Wongs and the Miaos. Yang: We can take 'em! Weiss: We don't want to get carried away. We're in a different world, after all. Ariel: You'll have Tai and Onyx helping. Onyx: Yeah, we can handle it. Right, Tai? Tai: Considering what I can do now, I wouldn't be too concerned. Ariel: Think I can come as well? Tai: Of course. I'll have your back. We all will Onyx: Yeah! So what are we waiting around for? Nox: *turns to another Lizodian* Get a shuttle ready at once! Lizodian: Yes, General. Everyone, follow me. *everyone starts walking out* Nox: Prince Reptilius, Princess Ariel. One more thing. Tai: Yes? Ariel: What is it? Nox: Congratulations. Tai: Thanks. Ariel: We appreciate it.
(Well, that took longer than it needed to. Oh well, at least it's UP.)

A bit later;
Honji: *Experimenting with her crossbow* *Sees a rat scurry across the floor, stop and look around* *Takes careful aim and fires with a slight but meaningful adjustment of her arm muscles*
A bolt of energy fires from the weapon’s ‘mouth’ and hits the unfortunate rodent, launching it back a meter and leaving it unmoving
Honji: Huh! *Sees a meter-long rat scurry out and start eating the corpse* Eww… *Tenses her muscles again, but keeps them tensed as the bow’s mouth starts to glow pink* *Lets go*
The rat is hit and explodes in a shower of bone and gore
Honji: *Shields her face from the mess, letting it splatter her arm and the rest of her instead*
Barbatos: Such a waste. *Continues walking*
Honji: *Charges a shot and fires at a conveniently placed mirror, the blast ricocheting off and hitting Barbatos in the arse*
Barbatos: *Yelps, having been caught off guard* *Spins around and glares at her*
Honji: *Grinning broadly* Sorry ‘daddy’, I must have missed.
Barbatos: *Muttering as he continues on his way* Damn, ungrateful, hairball-hacking, feral, mangy little…
Honji: *Snickers*
In wherever the hell Skullgirls takes place (Canopy Kingdom? I forget);
Cerebella: *Watches a doctor as he enters the room*
Doctor: Well, we’ve been going over hour physical state and you’ve made remarkable recovery. You’re cleared for release. *Drops her normal clothes at the end of her bed* Wait until I’ve left the room, but be quick about it. Black Dahlia has a message for you from Vitale. *Leaves*
A few minutes later, the gun-armed psychopath herself enters and hands Cerebella a note before leaving.
Cerebella: *Reads it* I’m sorry I can’t give you this mission in person, but it’s best if I won’t come out as I am. We’ve discovered an heir of Medici lineage, but we don’t know who it is, where they are or what they look like. Regardless, we’re worried for their safety and want them brought back safely as soon as possible. We’re sending you because you’re the best we have. *Face breaks into a smile of joy at those words* Good luck. Vitale, I’ll find this person and I swear I’ll bring them back safely! *Leaves the hospital, spirits high and Vice-Versa in hand*
Elsewhere;
Lorenzo: Are you sure she can do this?
Vitale: It doesn’t matter if she can or not. If she does, we get someone to continue our influence and a convenient scapegoat. If she doesn’t, we get everyone to hate the Wongs.
Much later;
Cerbella: (Weary from walking, asking everyone she meets if they’ve seen or heard of anyone who might be a descendent and following a few false leads) *Collapses on a bench* Oooow. Maybe I shouldn’t have worn the circus shoes.
A nearby figure walks over to her
??: Are you alright?
Cerebella: Yeah, thanks. I’ve just been walking all day and my feet are killing me.
??: (Confused) Feet can kill people nowadays?
Cerebella: Er… no.
??: Then why did you-
Cerebella: Because they really, REALLY hurt.
??: Oh. May I inquire why you have spent all say on your feet?
Cerebella: Sure. I’ve been asked to find and bring someone home, but I don’t know what they look like, what their name is or even what sex they are! All I know is that they’re the son or daughter of someone important in the Medici family and they don’t know it.
Squiggly: (As if it was a secret) Oh, I know who you’re looking for! She’s the one in the pith helmet walking this way right now! *Looks at her curiously* I thought you were getting something to-
Fillia: Samson already ate it.
Squiggly: Oh.
Cerebella: So, um… Are you the Medici heir?
Filia: Actually, I can’t remember. But that’s what Leviathan told me.
Cerebella: Er… *Shakes head* That’s great! Now I can get you home safely and I’ll prove to Vitale that I’m still useful! *Smiling widely* Come on!
??: I think not, scum!
Leviathan emerges from Squiggly’s head, glaring at the acrobat
Leviathan: She bay be of their blood, but this girl has proven that she does not share in their evil and I shall NOT allow such a soul to be tainted by them! Least of all by a lowly, imbecilic dog such as you!
Squiggly: (Horrified) Leviathan, that’s going too far!
Leviathan: If one is in the group of lowlives known as the Medicis, then one is just as much of a cur as their masters! *Emits a stream of purple fire in Cerebella’s direction*
Cerebella: *Flips out of the way and quickly equips Vice Versa*
Squiggly: I’m sorry! You seem like a nice girl, but it just wouldn’t be right for her to be forced into living with such people!
Cereballa: *Furiously strikes in quick succession, aiming mainly for the character who openly insulted her ‘family’*
Leviathan: *Dodging* It appears you are far too slow, Medici cu- *Hets grabbed around the neck* GACK!
Cerebella: *Slams him into the ground, causing a small crater and begins pounding the crap out of the worm-like, yet draconic parasite, unaware that Squiggly is being forced to bend over for him to actually reach the ground in such a state*
Fillia: *”Hairballs” into Cerebella’s back at full force, followed by Samson grabbing the off-balance acrobat’s head and viciously smashing it into the concrete, immediately knocking her cold. If she wasn’t as tough as she was, such a blow would have easily killed her*
Squiggly: *Straightens up* Ow. I would have thought death would remove back pains. *Kneels down and checks Cerebella’s vital signs* She’s going to be all right.
Fillia: *Sighs in relief* That’s good to know. She doesn’t seem like a bad person. *Looks at Cerebella uncertainly* But we can’t just leave her like this. Does anyone know what we should do?
Leviathan: (Warbling off-key) I’ve got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts…
Squiggly: (Sheepishly) I don’t think he’s going to be much help.
Samson: ‘Eh. Dumbass insulted her family. They’re a shitty bunch, but she seems loyal enough. Let’s just dump her on their doorstep.
Fillia: Good idea. That way they can tell that she did all she could until she was knocked out!
Samson: Er… whatever you say, kid.
They leave her at the steps of the same hospital she just left, where she is soon found and brought inside. Vitale has decided to wait in her room until she wakes up to speak to her as soon as possible.
Cerebella: *Waking up* (Groggily) Who- wha? *Eyes drift and land on Vitale* Ah! Vitale! I swear there’s an explanation for this, I-
Vitale: It doesn’t matter.
Cerebella: But I-
Vitale: I said it doesn’t matter. Lorenzo and I believe your talents will be of great use against the Wong Family
Cerebella: I- You’re not disappointed with me?
Vitale: No.
Cerebella: *Spits soar* *Grinning from ear to ear* Thank you Vitale!
Vitale: But this is a dangerous family, so I’m sending Beatrix, Black Dahlia and a few low-ranking family members with you. Just remember, you don’t have to destroy the entire family, just kill their strongest member to send a message.
Cerabella: Yes Vitale! I won’t come back until it’s done!
Later;
The three names Medici members and a number of thugs are boarding a private plane
Beatrix: *Sneers at Cerebella*
Cerebella: *Playfully sticks her tongue out and starts working on a Sudoku puzzle*
Back Dahlia: … *Locks eyes with Beatrix, glances at Cerebella and starts meaningfully observing her shotgun/grenade launcher arm*
Beatrix: *Pulls a deck of bladed cards from her cloak and starts sharpening the edges of each one*
The plane takes off, heading for China

Ling Ling:Barbatos, I have a job for you. Its of the utmost importance. Barbatos:Well of course milady, what is it you desire? Ling Ling:Its...Difficult for me to put such a dangerous mission in the hands of only one man. I haven't the heart to send anyone else on this mission, I believe you may be our only hope. Barbatos:Just say the word. Ling Ling:..*looks around* I... Grunt:Wait a minute, boss, you couldn't possibly mean.... Ling Ling:...I do. As terrible as it is, it must be done. Grunt:*begins crying on Barbatos' shoulder* YOU BRAVE, BRAVE MAN!! Or whatever the hell you are..*Blows his nose* YOU COME BACK ALIVE, YOU HEAR ME!? Barbatos:*Shoves him off, obviously confused*What the hell are you talking about? Honji:Come on, I can handle it without breaking a sweat! Ling Ling:Honji you...I don't think you have the aptitude for what needs to be done. Honji:*Turns red* Jackie:The suspense is killing me, just tell us what it is! Ling Ling:Barbatos I....Want you to....*Hics*....Search Nalod's room! All the wong grunts gasp in shock, some of them begin crying. Barbatos:...Who's Nalod? Ling LIng:You..Spoke to him the day you arrived at our manor, Jackie. Jackie:You mean that sick freak?! Ling Ling:Yes. Honji:*Has vanished, her tail is sticking out from under a nearby couch* Barbatos:...Thats it? Ling Ling:..I can't tell if you're brave, stupid, or the most hard-boiled son of a bitch on the face of this planet. Either way, I'm impressed. Nalod has been a part of the family for years. We suspected him of malicious activities, but never had the courage to look over him or his room. One person opened the door to his room and nearly died...That person is Fingers. Fingers:KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!*Covers his eyes* Ling Ling:He used to be a normal human being before walking into his room, and spoke perfect english. However when he came out...He was never the same. Finger:BIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKAAAAA!!! Barbatos:Fine then, I'll do it. Shortly.... Barbatos is standing in front of a door. He sniffs the air, obviously disturbed by the scent. Barbatos:Ugh....Smells like a tavern in Sodom... He opens the door. He gasps and gags, holding his mouth, he nearly collapses. Barbatos:Ugh....*Gets up and heads in* There are flies everywhere, the room is literally filled with pornography magazines of countless genres. There's barely any room to walk. Countless computers are stacked on the magazines, all of them are on virus-infested porn sites. Barbatos:UGH!!Why...WHY IS THE FUCKING FLOOR SO STICKY!? Barbatos' feet are plastered to the floor by an unknown mucus. Barbatos:OH COME ON!!! *Struggles to move, and he trips face-first into the floor* Barbatos:MMMPH!!!*Painfully rips himself off the floor, he loses his face* DAMN IT!!!! He continues walking through the quagmire of pornography and reproductive mucus, making his way towards the closet. Barbatos:trips, he's slowly falling towards the bed* NONONONONO NOOOOO!!!*hits the matress head first* WHY ME!?......THERES A DEAD HOOKER UNDER THIS BED....Five of them. Surely enough, there are five dead hookers jammed underneath the bed, they're gagged, some of them covered in gimp suits with strap-ons. Barbatos:...One of them's a dude. *continues making his way towards the closet* He walks over to the closet. He nervously reaches for the doorknob. He opens it swiftly. The closet is literally stuffed with balled up, crusty tissues and socks. They form a solid wall. Barbatos:......... A whinny is heard from behind the wall. Barbatos:Oh shit. A panicked draft stallion charges out of the closet, smothering Barbatos in the socks and tissues. The poor thing is emaciated, has an erection the size of a mans arm, and its being kept forcefully erect by a constricting leather belt. He neighs and stands up, smashing through the doorway and fleeing into the mansion. Barbatos:*Rises through the pile*....I'd better get paid REALLY well for this. he walks into the closet. Searching around for anything suspicious. He finds a box full of rare candies, a few aquariums full of live Brazillian Wandering Spiders. There are needles filled with their venom combined with liquefied rare candies. Barbatos:...*Picks up a journal* Could be informative...*Ahem* Dear Diary, oh, how masculine...Today I've taken advice from a flash video I've seen and decided to injecct liquefied rare candies into my...UGH!!! *Eyes widen in horror*...*Looks more, drawn by morbid curiosity* Closes the diary*Wow... The formula for the ultimate penis enhancement...*Flips the page* "Oh yeah, gotta remind myself I'm actually working as a mole for the Medicis. Sometimes I get so caught up in my work I forget to submit reports." Barbatos:.....Well! That can't be good. *Takes the journal and exits the room* Back downstairs, The gimped horse runs past everyone and whinnies, he runs out the front door and into the terrified public. SS:.......*Irises spurt out blood* OH COME ON, I JUST REGENERATED MY EYES!!! *lies back down* Honji:...What did I just witness. Jackie:I...I don't know. Barbatos walks into Ling Ling's office. Ling Ling:What have you found? Barbatos:*hands her the journal* Ling Ling:*looks through it* Holy...Thats some epic penis enhancement..We could make a killing off of this...Hello mega millions! *slides it into her pocket* Anyway, so..He was a mole for the Medicis? Barbatos:Yes. I don't know if he has more information in his computers, all of them where riddled with viruses and pornography. Ling Ling:Hrm....Very well. Since you've braved his room, we'll send in our brainier men in hazmat suits to check the computers. Barbatos:So, what do we do next? Ling Ling:I don't want you worrying after what you've been through. Take the rest of the day off, I'll give you your full pay check. Go enjoy yourself and try to drown out what you saw in some top quality booze. Barbatos:*Shudders* Gladly! *Leaps out of the window*

Military Housing, Lizodia IslandKron: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? *punches a wall* Not only is that little bastard getting with the youngest daughter of Triton, but he's also the fucking Corona Dragon? Son of a BITCH! *kicks the same wall* Lizodian: At least we now know where his power increase came from. Besides, you're not part dragon so you didn't even qualify for Project Corona. Kron: I don't give a fuck! That little bastard has no right being the prince let alone the fucking Corona Dragon! Lizodian: Yet he'd kick your ass in an instant. You saw him shoot off Ghidorah's middle head with little effort. Kron: Did I ask for your fucking input? Lizodian: Hey, I'm just saying. Besides, I thought you didn't give a shit about Princess Ariel. Kron: I don't, bitch slapped me. Lizodian: You asked for that one. Kron: You want me to kick your ass or will you actually be helpful? Lizodian: Well, there is one thing you could do... Kron: Will it get rid of the little bastard? Lizodian: It might. I overheard one of guys in Dimensional Monitoring mention more activity. Kron: Yeah, and? Lizodian: One of those spots was in Shanghai, China. Kron: China... That's Wong and Miao territory. Lizodian: Exactly. Maybe one of those will be happy to cause some shit. Probably the Miaos, they're dicks. Kron: Yes, but they might be useful dicks. Lizodian Shuttle, above Rio de Janeiro, Brazil*in the cockpit* Ruby: *walks in* Anything? Onyx: Nothing yet. See if you can find something. Ruby: Right! *sits down in front of a monitor* Onyx: Better get comfortable, I doubt we'll find our target anytime soon. Ruby: Yeah... *looking at the monitor and sees a blond male with a sword on his side holding a collapsable shield* Hey! I found someone! Onyx: Already? *looks* I take it he's from your world. What's his name? Ruby: Jaune Arc. He goes to Beacon with the rest of us here. Onyx: Got it. Pilot, prepare for extraction. Lizodian: Yes, sir! *in the back* Blake: *reading a book* Ariel: *laying her head on Tai's shoulder* I could get used to this. Tai: Same. Onyx: *walks in with Ruby* Alright, everyone! We're going in for extraction! Ariel: *sits back up* That was fast. Tai: Who we got? Ruby: Jaune Arc. He's from our world. Blake: *closes book* That gives us an idea on who to look for at the other locations. Weiss: Yes. Yang: Alright, let's get him! Onyx: *opens the rear door as the shuttle lands* Ruby: Jaune, get in! Jaune: Ruby? What are you doing here? Ruby: We'll explain on the way. Jaune: Ok. *gets on* Onyx: *shuts the rear door then conatcts the pilot* Extraction complete, move to the next location! Pilot: Got it! Jaune: So, what's going on? Tai: Long story short, you're on another world in another universe. Jaune: Really? That's cool! Blake: Not as much as you think. Weiss: How did you get here, anyway? Jaune: This guy with orange hair and a cane used threw this weird mixture of Dust at me and the others. Yang: Same with us. Weiss: So Nora, Pyrrha and Ren are in those other locations the Lizodians detected. Jaune: Lizo... what? Tai: Lizodians. We're a race of humanoid lizards who can shapeshift. Jaune: But, you're human. Tai: *shifts to his Lizodian form* Only partly. *shifts back to his human form* Jaune: Whoa! Tai: With that out of the way, I'm Reptilius Scalzar, prince of the Lizodian Empire. But you can call me Tai, all my friends do. Onyx: I'm Onyx, Lizodian soldier and childhood friend of Tai. Ariel: I'm Ariel, princess of the underwater city of Atlantica, childhood friend of Tai's and his future wife. Jaune: Underwater city? You're a human as well. Ariel: Actually, I was born a mermaid. Like Tai, I can shift forms at will. Jaune: Oh. So, when do we go home? Tai: Due to what happened, we don't feel it's safe for you to return at this time. Don't worry, we'll send scouts to your world to make sure nothing bad happens. Jaune: I see. Tai: It'll be some time before we get to our next stop. Why don't you tell us about yourself? Jaune: Alright. (Fuck it, I'll get it up now. About to pass out plus this'll give you guys a chance to work with Kron)

Back at the Shanghai Airport,
Barbatos is waiting at the airport building, leaning against the side of the building. He's filing his teeth to a thin point with a metal file. He holds up his wrist, there's a watch on it, likely looted from an unfortunate victim. He checks the time.
Barbatos: 30 minutes...*looks at the information on flight time estimations on a board* Hrm, assuming Nalod sent record of my presence when I arrived here, I should be expecting visitors from the Medicis soon...No doubt they'll send some high ranking assasin's since I defeated their gorgeous top leg-breaker and tore off their bosses face. *Folds his arms*
The Medici's plane arrives in the airport. The door opens, a number of thugs emerge, eventually Black Dahlia, Beatrix, and finally Cerebella emerges.
Barbatos:*narrows his eyes* Hel-lo...Didn't think I'd see her so soon, and who're these young ladies accompanying her? *Eyes begin to follow Cerebella's breasts, his pupils bouncing in rhythmn with her magnificient knockers* Boobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobs-
Airport Employee: Uh, sir, what are you doing?
Barbatos:Enjoying the most magnificient view I've seen in ages, my boy. Come, join me!
Airport Employee: *unusually cheerful* O-KAY! *Holds up a pair of Binoculars as his eyes also begin following Cerebella's Breasts* Boobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobsboobs-
The two continue their mindless chant of Boobs until they're actually confronted by the three.
Black Dahlia:*Fires a buckshot from her arm cannon that blasts the Airport Employee's head all over the wall, he makes the most priceless, agonized yelp that you could possibly imagine* Barbatos, I probably don't even need to tell you why we're here.
Barbatos:No you don't, I remember ripping that sack of shit's face off quite vividly, most fun I've had in centuries.
Cerebella:*Growls and nearly charges him, but she's blocked by Beatrice* WHY YOU-!!
Dahlia:Not here Cerebella. We need to kill this...Thing in secret. Orders from Lorenzo and Vitale themselves.
Cerebella:..*restrains herself, she's obviously struggling to keep herself from boiling over*....Fine!*Crosses her arms, Vice Versa does the same*
Barbatos:Oh my, you're turning the most delightful shade of red. Cerebella was it? You look absolutely stunning, I must say.
Cerebella:*Glares*
Barbatos:Anyway, I don't really know the area that well. I figured I'd save you the honor of picking the location you'd dispose of me in.
Black Dahlia:Excellent, we've already made arrangements. There's a pretty wide patch of untouched wilderness a few miles from here. I'm certain we'll require alot of space for your execution. We've got a car that'll take us there. *Gestures to a Limosine* Shall we?
Barbatos:Very well. I'd like to get to know my aspiring killers. *Gets into the car* Mind if we chat on the way there?
Dahlia:Well, since you're being so polite...Why not? *Does the same, followed by Beatrix and Cerebella*
The car takes off.
Beatrix:Hah, I wish all of our targets would be this agreeable!
Barbatos:Oh no, don't mistake me. This isn't a suicide trip, I- Got any whiskey in here? *Cerebella grudgingly hands him a double-sized full shot glass* Thank you dear- Have no intention of just lying down and dying.
Cerebella:What the hell are you planning you monster?
Barbatos: Nothing really. We discovered your little mole recently and I did a bit of mathematics at the airport, I figured that a flight from New Meridian would be coming in today with my name on it. Didn't expect to get it right on the first plane getting here though. I don't want to get the rest of the Wong's involved in our inevitable meeting, it'd make it much less...Personal. *grins*
Cerebella:Ugh...
Barbatos:*Outlining the curves of the three* And my oh my, am I glad things turned out this way. I love spending time with fine women such as yourself, even if said time will be spent tearing eachother to shreds. So ladies, mind telling me about yourselves?
Black Dahlia: Nothing much to say...I'm the Medici's top assasin and Lorenzo's personal bodyguard. Its quite an honor to have him send me after you directly, I suspect you'll be a worthy opponent since you managed to defeat Cerebella in an instant.
Cerebella:*Sighs and looks disheartened*
Beatrix:*Snickers* Anyway, I'm Beatrix. Club suit of Cirque des Cartes. This is Cerebella, a clown.
Cerebella:*Growls* Not a clown...
Barbatos:A clown, really?...Well, I don't know the cultural norms of Canopy Kingdom so who am I to say, but she looks more like a acrobat with a harlquin theme to me. So...Not a clown....Actually Beatrix, I had you figured for one due to your bizzare clothing, no offense intended!
Beatrix:*Turns red*...*Forces a smile* None...Taken...
Barbatos:*Exhales* Forgive my ignorance. Anyway, I have no real name, although I was dubbed "Barbatos" by my captors. I was held underneath the island of Povegalia for...A few centuries, I lost track of time after the first decade. *Sips his whiskey* Overall, being pampered like this is a nice break from that rusty plague-ridden hellhole.
Beatrix:*freaks out* PLAGUE!?
Barbatos:Hm, yes. I was constantly exposed to the Black Death, among other diseases. Povegalia was a dumping ground slash island of exile for plague victims so the place is haunted to high hell. Don't worry about exposure to the disease though. It's not contangious, atleast, not from me...
Black Dahlia:You're a very intruiging individual Barbatos, its a pity you chose the wrong side. The Medicis could use somebody like you. The Wongs will make ill use of your abilities.
Barbatos:*Shrugs* Oh well. Sorry Dahlia, still not interested in joining the Medicis. I don't see eye-to-eye with your higher ups.
Black Dahlia:*grins through her viel* I wasn't making an offer. You're marked for death. I was just giving you something to reflect on while we're filling you with lead.
Beatrix:And knives.
Cerebella:And being crushed to a pulp!
Barbatos:*Deadpan* I take it you don't intend to leave a trace of me after you've done your job, I suppose?
Cerebella:NO!
Barbatos:...*shrugs timidly* Not even a burial? I'm...I'm hurt...*swigs down the rest of his whiskey*
Dahlia:We're here. Lets step out of the car and walk a few feet away, don't want to have a bloody limo to show the police. *points her gun beside Barbatos' head*
Barbatos:Oh come on. Now I don't even get a chance to fight back?
Black Dahlia:I'm quite confident in my ability...And to an extent my cohorts here, but I'm not one to take unnescesarry risks when it comes to my job.
Barbatos:Smart, ruthless woman...Admirable.
Barbatos is led away from the limosine, he's pushed onto the ground, he's holding his hands up.
Cerebella:Dahlia, I want to be the one to kill him!
Dahlia:Oh, like you defeated him on your first encounter? Or brought one of the Medici heirs into safe custody? Sorry Cerebella, you were brought along as backup muscle. *blows off Barbatos' head, he falls limp*...And, thats all you really were, you useless brat. *Aims her gun at Cerebella*
Dahlia blasts Cerebella in the stomach, she falls down onto the ground holding her gut in pain, Vice Versa falls off of her head and onto the ground, he looks enraged and shocked.
Cerebella:*Whines*B...But..But why?
Cerebella screams as Beatrice tosses knives through he hands, feet, and right eye.
Beatrix:Oops, sorry. Thought you were dead!
Dahlia:*Glares at Beatrix*
Beatrix:What? *Grumbles* I always wanted to do that....
Cerebella:*lying on the ground, crying* (FYI, it was almost physically painful to type this.)
Dahlia:Just toss a knife into the brats head and be done with it. *facepalms*
Beatrix:Right. *Tosses a knife into Cerebella's forehead, she finally stops moving and lies still*...There we go...
The two don't notice Barbatos regenerating as they look over Cerebella. Before they notice him, they enter the imosine and drive off.
Barbatos:*Head messily regenerates* Ugh...Incendiary rounds...*Holding his head, it looks more like a tumorous mass with a mouth and shifting eyes than a head* Just my luck....*looks at Cerebella*!!!!
Barbatos runs over to her and gets on his knees, he holds her up in his arms.
Barbatos:..Cerebella? CEREBELLA! *Growls bitterly as he watches the imosine drive off*...Rubs her hair* You poor dear...I still remember how eager you were back at the arena. Ready to please them, fighting the tournament in your bosses name...And he has you executed...*Growls bitterly* They took you from me before I even got to know you...*Clenches his fist and growls, he begins frothing at the mouth*
His ears prick, extremely weak, nigh undetectable beathing is coming from Cerebella.
Barbatos:!!!! *thinks in a panic* I'll have to try to sire her. Only way I can see her through this...*Opens his mouth, he clips off the tips of his teeth with pliers as his blood streams from them, and he plunges them into her neck* Please don't be too late, please don't be too late...
Cerebella begins spasming and coughing, she lets out a huge gasp for air.
Barbatos:Thats it! Breath! * holds her cosely* I'll take you back home, I'm certain the Wongs will be glad to have you.
Cerebella:*Comatose*
Barbatos picks her up and begins leaping rapidly towards the Wong estate.
A grunt opens the front door as Barbatos brings her in.
Barbatos:Get a medic, now!
Honji:She needs a hospital-
Barbatos:Bad idea. Honji, meet your new sister.
Honji:New sister-wait-what!? YOU SIRED ANOTHER ONE!?
Barbatos:There was nothing else I could do, she was practically dead when I got ahold of her. I hope you two will get along!
Barbatos takes her into a spare room and lies her on the bed, everyone walks in and looks over her.
A tiny, 2 ft Pirahna dagonian wearing green jeans, a white shirt, and a blue vest walks into the room.
Dr. Greg: I am Dr. Reamus Gregory, official full time medic of the Wongs. Whats the problem? *adjusts his glasses* Dr. Greg for short...
Barbatos:*gestures to Cerebella*
Gregory:Oh dear, how is she even alive!?
Barbatos:She's fairly stable due to my intervention, but she's not going to be able to get those knives and shrapnel out without some intervention!
Gregory:*Puts on a surgeon mask and takes out a bag of surgical tools* Very well, get out of the room, and let me work! NURSE DESPINA!
A huge pufferfish dagonian enters the room, she's massive, utterly ripped, and wearing a typical nurse outfit.
Nurse Despina:*Booming voice* YOU, GET OUT. *picks up the entire group in her massive arms and tosses them out of the room*
Everyone begins waiting outside of the room. Barbatos looks particularly worried.
