It was a day since Kirin developed his fighting style. The crew were on the boat when Tekko pulled up to an island.
Hoshi: Why are we here? Shouldn't we be heading towards the city where the tournament's being held?
Tekko: Yes, I suppose so, but we need food and a few other supplies, we're running low.
Hoshi: Running low!? We should've had enough food to last us till we got to the island!
Tekko: Well, we need 'em, so we gotta stop here.
Hoshi: Fine. Where's Kusuri and Kirin?
Tekko: Sleeping down below.
Hoshi: Those lazy asses, I'll go get them.
Hoshi went down below. About a minute later, two loud screams came from down below, followed by two thuds.
Tekko: Geez, those kids are something else.
Kirin and Kusuri came out. Kusuri wore a black sleeveless jacket with his Cleaver on his back.
Kusuri: Man you don't have be rough, Hoshi....
Hoshi: Did you just call me "man"?!
Kusuri: What, no! It was an accident!
Tekko: Come on guys, let's go.
The crew leapt off the ship and landed on the dock. Tekko touched the ship and it turned back into a scroll. Tekko tucked it into his sleeve and they started walking.
Tekko: Let's split up. Kirin and Kusuri, you get the food. Hoshi, you get the blankets and wood.
Kusuri: What about you?
Tekko looked at a tavern and rubbed his chin, then ran his hands through his blue spiky hair.
Tekko: I'll stop at the tavern and get some "beverages".
Kirin: You mean get drunk, don't you?
Tekko: Nonsense! Now go.
The crew split up.
Tekko walked into the tavern and saw no one there.
Tekko: (Strange, I heard this town was popular for it's size. It looks so.....dead...)
Tekko walked up to the counter.
Tekko: Hello, anyone here!
A woman walked out.
She gasped and ran into the back.
Tekko: What was that about?
She came back with a man.
Man: I'm sorry, but we have no alcohol.
Tekko: What, why?
Man: It's cuz of Lord Domu.
Tekko: Lord Domu?
Kirin and Kusuri were walking down the street.
Kusuri: How strange.
Kirin: What is it?
Kusuri: There's no one on the streets.
Kirin: Yeah that is kind of weird. It's like a ghost town here, I wonder where everyone is.
Kusuri looked around the cornor and gasped.
He saw that inside of a shop, two men with swords were harassing two teenagers.
Man 1: Come on, just hand us the money.
Kusuri: I think they're being robbed.
Kirin: Let's go help them.
Kusuri nodded and the two walked into the shop.
Kusuri: Hey! What the hell's going on in here?
One of the teenagers, a girl, looked over.
Boy: Who are they?
Girl: I don't think they're from this town!
Man 1: Hey maybe we should take these guys' money for Lord Domu.
Man 2: No prob.
The two men took out their swords.
Man 2: Don't go nowhere, kiddies!
They turned to face Kirin and Kusuri, who unsheated his Chopper.
Man 1: Looks like they're gonna do this the hard way.
Kusuri grinned and rushed toward Man 1. Kusuri swung his sword and the man blocked.
Kirin: Come on!
Kirin rushed forward and swung at Man 2. Man 2 blocked with his sword.
Kirin: Hmph.
Suddenly, a burst of lightning surge from Kirin's fist and broke the sword.
Man 2: What the?
He backed up.
Kusuri was still locked in a struggle with Man 1.
Kusuri: (I see... He released lightning through his fist to increase his raw strength. Clever...)
Man 1: Who are these freaks?!
Kusuri grinned wider and an invisible membrane of Chikara coated his Chopper. He then swung the sword upwards and broke Man 1's.
Man 2: Let's get outta here!
Kirin: No way!
Kirin delivered a quick strike to Man 2's gut. Man 2 let out a loud gasp and fell down. Small bolts of lightning surged around his stomach for a few seconds.
Man 1: Eeeeehk! I'm outta here!
Kusuri: Don't think so!
Kusuri used thrusted the handle of his blade into the man's face, knocking him out.
A few minutes later, the two men were tied up in a corner.
Kusuri: So kids, tell me what's up here?
Boy: Well you took care of these guys for us, so we might as well tell you. We used to be a thriving town with many fisherman and tourists visiting our island and using here as a base, but about two years ago, a man named Domu moved here with dozens of followers. He forces us to give him our supplies, leaving us with barely enough for ourselves.
Kirin: That's horrible.
Kusuri: Where does this Domu live?
Girl: Why?
Kusuri: Cuz I think we can take care of your pest problem.
Hoshi: Why are we here? Shouldn't we be heading towards the city where the tournament's being held?
Tekko: Yes, I suppose so, but we need food and a few other supplies, we're running low.
Hoshi: Running low!? We should've had enough food to last us till we got to the island!
