Zone C -- Megacity One

[The Future Warrior]

She bolted. Leaving the scene of chaos behind. The sound of Eirika cackling as she caught the sack of items and went to go beat on Cell. The majin retrieved her fallen bicycle and clambered back aboard, pushing off and getting underway, taking off for her destination. Just as fast as she could make the pedals on this damn bicycle go, she bolted. She could hear shouts of protest, and the screaming whine of ki as Cell interrupted a chase attempt. Further mangled cursing, and Cell's mocking cackle rang in her ears as she ran for it.

And she was reminded again, of a persistent thought: This sucks!

She knew the way. She knew it quite well. And she was already close. The building loomed ahead, the towering office building that held the safehouse. Drumpf Tower, Cell had said it was called. The majin had never bothered looking for a name. She wasn't going to be here long enough for it to matter. It was just something she would try to forget about once she was off this island. Another unpleasant memory. But right now? Right now it was beautiful. Her target was waiting for her in there. The old man with the last main quest item. And she was going to get it.


She didn't even slow down as she came careening around the corner on her bicycle. Righting herself she went forward, right toward the main doors of the building. Her eyes narrowed, focusing on the glass portal. One hand lifted precariously from the handlebars, the golden glow of ki building up in it. As she drew nearer she gritted her teeth and threw her hand forward. The bolt of light shot forward ahead of her, hitting the doors and blowing them apart. She sailed through, up the steps and through the entry way. And that was where her balance gave out.

The wheels wobbled, going unsteady, and finally losing out on going straight. The front wheel jerked to the right and the bike went down. Graowr wasn't on it. She hopped up and forward, landing in a handstand and springing up back onto her feet. She looked around feverishly. "Hey! Hey, old man! I know you're in here! The one that just finished in the Colosseum a little while ago!" She ran this way and that, searching for him, before finally locating him, resting on a couch.

"You!" She lifted a hand, pointing at him. "Listen to me! That item you got, in the capsule! It's the last one I need to complete the main quest item and end this. I...I don't have anything to offer in return for a trade..." She looked down, exhausted and sad. "I...I guess I could offer you these." She fished out some items from their storage in her malleable body. "They...won't let you win the competition or anything, but they should let you last in a fight if you get stuck here after things end." She steeled her expression. "But...but if I have to...I'll fight. I'll fight you for the item. I just...want this to be over. It's awful."
