> He parked his car a half mile away from the factory. He waited
>until the night had set in to head for it.
> When night finally came, he headed toward the factory. As he
>got closer, he started to think.
> *Why is this one not covered? Why no front?*
> It was very disturbing. Umbrella had usually always had a
>front for their factories.
> *I feel like I'm walking into a trap.*
> When he got closer to the factory, he noted that it also had a
>facility.
> *Great, development and production all in one roof. Security's
>going o be a bitch.*
> From were he was, he already noticed some cameras.
> He crouched down as he got closer to the factory. The front
>door had a blast shield down.
> *Shit! The delivery has already been made! No time left. Got
>to attack fast.*
> He ran for the back. When he reached the back of the
>buildings, he saw the delivery bay doors, and one was open.
> *A bloody miracle!*
> A delivery truck was backing up. On the delivery platform was
>five men. One was directing the truck, and the other four were
>looking around. They must have been guards. One had a machine gun,
>one had a very long sword, and the other two were bare foot.
>Martial artists.
> "Just a few more feet!" the man directing the truck shouted to
>the driver.
> *Got to act fast.*
> "KAMEHAMEHA!"
>
> It all happened so fast. One minute, Kenchiro was directing
>the truck back, the next, a beam of energy hit and killed him.
>Hironobu was already looking for the intruder, and Nobuo was firing
>the machine gun at anything that moved.
> "DIE YOU PIG!" Nobuo shouted. "DIE P…"
> Nobuo dropped down dead.
> "Crap…" Rin bent down and saw a dagger of some kind in Nobuo's
>back.
> "Ah!"
> Rin looked up and saw that the intruder had shown himself. The
>person had jumped down on Hironobu, and the two were now fighting.
>Satoru jumped into the fray.
>
> "What?" Satoru looked at where the cry came from and saw that
>the intruder had jumped on Hironobu. Hironobu jumped to his feet
>with great ease and was now fighting the person. Without thinking,
>Satoru jumped into the fight.
> Stupid.
> The intruder was good. Too good. Hironobu and him didn't
>stand a chance against the intruder.
> "AGH!"
> *Can't breathe. Can't be…happening…*
> Satoru dropped down, dead.
>
> *Keep concentrating. Just fight. Don't think about how this
>person's going to kill you.*
> Hironobu was fighting with great skill, but it wasn't good
>enough. The intruder must have had excellent training.
> *SHIT! This must be him!*
> The boss had told them about the one who would try to stop the
>shipment, but they didn't think the person would show up. Why
>should they? He's from America!
> *Get your head out of the…SHIT!*
> The intruder had pulled a dagger out of somewhere, and was
>preparing to throw it.
> *Dodge.*
> Hironobu dodged out of the way of the blade. He could fell the
>air rush by him as the dagger shot across the loading dock…
> …and hit Satoru! The dagger had hit him in the chest, then
>Satoru dropped down, almost immediately.
> *But that shouldn't happen…? It was on the right side. It
>couldn't have hit his heart. Crap! It must have collapsed his
>chest cavity! This guy's lethal in every sense of the word…*
> "AH!"
> Snap!
>
> Rin just stood there while the intruder fought the others. He
>was too scared. He couldn't beat him. He'd get in the way.
> Then it happened.
> The intruder fired a dagger at Hironobu, but he dodged it and
>it hit Satoru. Then, in one quick move while Hironobu was still
>taking everything in, the intruder sweep kicked Hironobu. Hironobu
>fell backwards and landed by the edge of the loading bay, his neck
>on the edge. Rin had heard a snapping noise when Hironobu landed.
> *Dead. Hironobu. Satoru. Everyone's dead.*
> "OK! NOW YOU MADE ME PISSED!" Rin cried out, unsheathing his
>sword and running at the intruder.
>
> *These guys are a joke! They must have not thought I'd come
>half way across the world to stop a shipment.*
> "OK! NOW YOU MADE ME PISSED!"
> *Oh yea. Sword-boy. Almost forgot about him…*
> When he turned around, he saw that the last person had
>unsheathed his sword.
> "Impressive…but it's not as big as…" He paused as he reached
>over his shoulder and pulled a sword out from under his coat.
>"…mine…" he teased, waving his sword.
> The last man had stopped in his tracks.
> "Fine. You don't want to make a move?" He started running at
>the last guy. "THEN I WILL!"
> The air around them on the loading dock had become a fireworks
>display, sparks flying everywhere. One scream later, it was calm
>once again.
>
> "Hey, Yoshinori, trucks coming back." The gate guard turned to
>his partner.
> "Ya. Must have been a small shipment. Well, open the gate."
> "Ok Yoshi."
> "I told you never to call me that, Kuni!"
> "HEY! Watch it!"
> The truck pulled up beside the guard both, and the person
>inside yelled out something.
> "What do you want?!" Kunihiko answered.
> "It sounds like you two are fighting in there," the truck
>driver said.
> "Ya, well, it's none of your…" Yoshinori stopped when he
>opened the door and was staring straight into the barrel of a
>shotgun.
> BAM!
> BAM!
>
> Twenty miles down the road, he found the construction of some
>large building. So far, only the foundry hole was dug up.
> *Perfect.*
> He pulled out a tarp from the truck and laid it out on the
>floor of the hole. He always had a large tarp, about a hundred feet
>by a hundred. He had gotten the bag from his car when he passed it.
> He then rolled the truck down on top of the tarp. He then started
>covering the hole using the machine.
>
> "This is just great. Car stalls and I have to walk all the way
>back to town…" A man walked down the road. "Hey. What's this?"
> He had come across some construction equipment. Someone was
>covering a hole.
> *Wonder what he's doing…*
> "What're you doing?"
> "I'm just filling in this hole. You shouldn't be here. Please
>leave." the person said calmly.
> "Well, do you need some help?"
> "No, I'm just fine, thank you." the person said, voice still
>calm.
> He turned and noticed a truck in the hole.
> "Hey? Why are you filling in a hole with a truck in it?"
> "I have my reasons," the person said, jumping out of the
>machine, voice still calm.
> He looked at the truck again and noticed a biohazardous sign on
>it's side.
> *I've got to report this…*
> "Ok, well, I gotta go now…" he said, backing away.
> "Ok then. Sayonara," the person's voice still calm.
> "Sayonara."
> He started to walk away, then he heard the person shout
>something from behind. Something like kamehameha. Then there was a
>bright flash of light. Then there was nothing.
>
> After throwing the stranger into the hole, he covered it up
>with dirt and placed a dozen or so trees on top of it. He then put
>a sign up, claiming that the site was a national heritage site, and
>waited for the construction workers to show up.
> When they did, he told them a phony story on how the building
>had to be built somewhere else because it was a national heritage
>site.
> They bought it.
> It was a long walk back to his car.
>
> He had pulled back into town at about dinner time. He was
>hungry and needed to eat. He found his way back to the restaurant
>he had been to earlier, and turned off his car. When he got out,
>someone had landed on top of him.
> "Hey! What's happen…"
> "CURSE YOU RANMA!" the person yelled out at someone, then ran
>towards a figure a block or two away.
> "What the heck was that all about?" he said to himself. He
>stared harder at the two people, and noticed that the one the other
>had called Ranma had a ponytail of some kind.
> *What's that guy fighting the girl?*
> He walked up to the two. It was too dark out now, and he
>couldn't see them clearly.
> "HEY! Stop trying to hit that girl!"
> Almost as if on cue, the two stopped.
> "What do you mean TRY!?" the one who had landed on him said.
> "GIRL!" the other shouted.
> *Crap. I really have to get used to male and female Japanese
>names…*
> The two ran at him, one of them pulling an umbrella out from
>somewhere.
> He dodged out of the way of the umbrella, but nearly got kick
>by the one called Ranma.
> "Hey! I don't want to hurt anyone! I just thought…"
> "YOU don't want to hurt anyone!? Well WE do!" the one with the
>umbrella yelled.
> In between dodges, he noticed that nobody was walking by.
> *This must happen a lot.*
> "Look! I just say the…" he started.
> "RANMA! RYOUGA! STOP HURTING THAT MAN!" a female voice
>shouted.
> *What?*
> "But Akane…" they both said at once.
> The two walked off down the street. About three blocks away,
>he could see that the two were fighting again.
> "What was that all about?"
> "Oh, don't pay attention to them. They always do fight."
> He turned and saw the owner of the restaurant standing at the
>door.
> "You don't seem to come around from here. Do you have a place
>to stay?" she asked.
> "Um. Well, actually, no…" he answered. "I was just going to
>sleep in my car." He pointed to his black car.
> "Well, since you're new in town and don't have a place to stay,
>if you want, you can sleep on the couch." She motioned for him to
>come inside.
> "Thank you very much."
>
> After the restaurant was empty, the owner locked the door and
>brought out some blankets from upstairs.
> "Do you want some more okonomiyaki?" she asked, putting the
>blankets on a couch.
> "Oh, yes please. Thank you. How much do I owe you?"
> "Nothing! It's on the house!" the owner shouted from the
>kitchen.
> A few minutes latter, she appeared from the kitchen, carrying
>two plates of okonomiyaki.
> "Why don't you take your glasses off. It's not that bright in
>here…" The owner reached out to grab them, but he shot out his hand
>and grabbed her wrist.
> "Sorry, but please leave my glasses alone."
> "S-sure."
> After she turned all the lights out, they went to sleep. She
>upstairs, and he downstairs.
> *She's so nice. If umbrella ever does anything to this city,
>they'll be sorry.*
