In the early morning hours Asuka awakens rather groggily her hair a mess, and her eyes glazed over she goes to check the schedule to see who is running the shift for that day, but seeing that Zam is already out of her room. Asuka doesn’t even bother. “Guess it’s just me today.” she yawns. “Well, guess I’d better get started.” Asuka heads into the showers and gets herself ready for the day. Upon emerging, she looks at the clock located in her room. “Okay it’s 7 A.M. I’ve got 2 hours before the shop opens which means…” Asuka goes through her closet looking for her running gear. “I’ve got plenty of time to get in a workout, a nice jog should do the trick!” As Asuka heads out and takes her morning jog she grabs a leash, and suddenly her small pup “Shin’yuu” comes running alongside her, eagerly to be taken on a speedy stroll “C’mon boy!” she says as she heads out the door and starts her workout.
40 minutes later. “Man what a work out."As Asuka returns to the store she sees a long line of people lining up awaiting the stores opening it would appear that Asuka might’ve underestimated the morning rush. She then looks at the time on her MP3 player. “Yikes...I’ve got 20 minutes, I’d better move!”Asuka heads inside through the back entrance and gets dressed in her yellow uniform and green smock. She then walks over to the door and turns the closed sign to open. “Open for business welcome!” she says as she opens up the store to the public and begins her working duties helping customers pick out flowers and making recommendations, this goes on for quite some time with the rush not showing any signs of letting up. It was going to be a long day for the young girl.
6 hours later
"Oh man, I’m beat...I didn’t even have time to take a break..." Asuka now exhausted from a particularly long shift retires to her room after closing the doors to the store but upon entering into the hallway notices that Zam still isn't home. “Where’s Zam, she’s never been out this long without contact…?”Shin’yuu can then be seen sitting outside of Zam’s room, clawing at the door, whimpering as he gets no response. “Hey it’s okay boy, I’ll go get her.”Asuka walks into her room and grabs a set of more casual clothing, and then heads out to look for Zam but not before locking up the store. "Now where could she be…?"She begins walking down the street and calling out for her friend it was getting Late Zam is usually home by this time, something must be wrong, did she get lost was she hurt, all these thoughts and more raced through the young warrior's mind. “Zam! Zaaam!” she cried as she carried on further into the small town. Asuka knew that Zam was capable of defending herself in a fight, but was more concerned about the impressionable nature of the young girl. Zam might’ve been strong but she had the mind of a child and wasn't fully mature enough to make the right decision when presented with a particular situation. She had to hurry, hopefully Zam hadn’t gotten herself into any particular trouble.
Meanwhile
In an alleyway far from Netto’s shop, a shady looking man lights a cigarette inside of a dark van. Behind him, a group of people inside can be seen cutting up large piles of powder and packaging it into small bags that are wrapped up and packaged in small bags. "Okay, Okay, nice and finely cut…”
The man himself was rather on the short side, wearing a white jacket and had parted hair and a gun on his waist. His name Nama, a drug dealer for a space vegas cartel who was trying to pay off another crime boss in order to work his way back into the family and doesn't care who he targets, the current clientele children and young teenagers. He works alongside two subordinates who are also wearing a similar looking outfit, and clearly, they were up to no good. And the item he was referring too was a finely ground powder that could be sold in small packets that looked like candy something they could easily market to unsuspecting kids. “Alright you two,get this stuff ready for distribution.”As he looks out the back of the van he can hear the sounds of a group of young kids walking toward the van. “I think I see our first customers…”The white jacket wearing Nama exits out of the van with a fresh package of a drug he calls "Dragon dust." "Hey, guys, wanna try some dragon dust?" He says the unsuspecting youths who all look to him, confused but interested. "Dragon dust? What is it, sounds cool?""Here have a bag...first one's free..."He tosses each of the kids one small bag of dragon dust. One sniffs it another holds it in his hands. "How do we use it?""Just dab it on your tongue and enjoy. But hey I gotta go. You kids have fun."He walks away back into his van smoking his cigarette knowing he just gained himself a new set of customers, he looks back and sees each one taking a dab of the drug knowing the exact results to come once the drug has been ingested. "Another set of satisfied customers, We'll be seeing them very soon."He smirks as he heads back into his van and shuts his doors. Majin Zam WC: 959 TWC: 959

Sometimes the call of adventure was irresistible. Today, it had dragged a little Majin named Zam from her bed when stars still twinkled in the sky. Usually she liked to snooze until the scent of breakfast tickled her nose, but today was different. She had been dreaming, you see. In her dreams she had found a wonderful land made entirely of white ice cream. She had munched it, burrowed into it, tossed it high into the air and let it fall on her like tasty snow. Rolling in it, however, had ended with her falling out of the bed. Spitting the drool-soaked pillow out of her mouth, she had groggily looked around. Seeing her room and zero ice cream was met with a deep sigh. Reality was often disappointing.
However, as the child gazed at the twinkling stars far beyond her window, she got an idea. A great idea! She remembered clearly which way she had gone in her dream. If she followed the way again, then she would find the real ice cream land! So the window was pushed open and she veeeery carefully, not wanting to wake anyone up, zipped into the skies. Far above the city, the pink blaze of ki shot towards the far north. Thus began another great misadventure.
So much later that even the sun had grown bored of waiting and started slipping behind the horizon, Zam finally appeared on familiar skies again. In the end, she had not found the ice cream land... Only regular snow lands... But! She had fun anyway! After building a snowman, she had wandered around a big forest, petted a big, fluffy dog, met a Say-yawn person and played dodgeball with him and and... Lots of stuff! After a such an eventful adventure, even she was getting pretty tuckered out. Hungry too. Maybe if she asked nicely, Miss Asuka would let her have pizza!
While the little Majin had honestly intended to head home, she was again distracted by something new. She could kinda hear someone calling her name somewhere, probably, but this was way more interesting! Flying over a quiet side street, she spied an adult in fancy white clothes giving out bags to kids. Dragon Dust? Ooh, free candy?! Eyes glimmering, she rushed to catch one bag as well. "Thank you, nice mister!" She opened the bag and gave the powder a tentative sniff. Smelled kinda funny. Hm hm, would it be sour or sweet? Mysterious... Getting her finger wet, she scraped a big helping of powder and curiously licked it off. Tasted kinda... funny... too...
Moments later, a pink pinball came bouncing through alleys and ricocheting off lamp posts. Unfortunately Asuka just so happened to be in the way. She had better move fast before... Crash aaaand TILT. As the dust settled, Zam was sprawled on her back against the pavement. Clearly she didn’t mind though. Her eyes had turned into spirals and nothing could wipe the goofy grin from her face. "Wheee~hehehehee~ Everything is spinning~!" The crazed giggling was accompanied by random sparks of ki dancing on her skin. Hee, it tickled! This was awesome! Words: 523 [Total = 523] Hanzo Medjikara

As Asuka went through the streets looking for her Majin companion she spotted the little pink creature tumbling about in the streets she was relieved initially but something seems off the little pink puffball seemed even loopier than normal. Was she sick? Could Majins even get sick, Asuka was no expert on Majin anatomy but she had to do something, but just before she could she overheard the sounds of a van shutting in the distance. Asuka runs out toward it, but by the time she gets too it the van is already on it’s way out and the last thing she sees is the white-vested man driving away. She gets a good look at his face, however, his sinister smile burned in Asuka’s mind. As he smirks and slicks back his hair he departs leaving Asuka alone to look after Zam. She heads over to her friend and notices the liquid on her finger and the bag beside her. She takes a good hard look at it and notices that the substance itself has a very distinct smell to it one that brings back memories of Asuka’s past, her harsh life growing up in the tough urban areas of Cup city back when she was young she would remember drug peddlers who would hand out this stuff in droves it made her sick to her stomach that Zam would’ve gotten her hands on it but she was all too familiar with the substance. “Dragon dust.” said the youth to herself the words escaping her lips, with a hint of venom behind them. Asuka looked down at Zam, and used the emergency phone given to her by Netto, to call for emergency medical services. After they arrive she informs them of what happens and Zam is hauled away in the ambulance and taken to a local hospital. Afterward, Asuka looks to the bag of powder she is left with and heads into the police station. After arriving, Asuka enters inside and sees a series of men, women, and animal humanoids, all in a buzz as some rush to head out on patrol and others go over reports with their fellow officers. Asuka's focus, however, is on the reception desk where a man in a trench coat sits reading a newspaper, as she walks up the man puts his papers down and leans over to tend to her. After a moment a fox wearing a set of very impressive looking set of gear enters into the room.
“May I help you-- Asuka!?” The man behind the desk was flabbergasted having seen Asuka a gril whom he knew asa young girl all grown up here before him. Back when Asuka was a child Detective Darui was a police captian who went up against the likes of the Bloody Knuckles Street gang and with nothing to do decided to tak up a desk job. “Captain Darui, you work here now?” The older man laughed. "No, not Captain anymore, I was promoted to detective shrotly afterwards, but never really had much to do, so I took a desk job and decided tot ake it easy until i retire. Not too much longer now, it's good to see you again, but Asuka-chan? What're you doing here?" Asuka takes out the sack of dragon dust and places it on his desk “Is that...Dragon Dust? Asuka-chan, don't tell me you've fallen in witht eh wrong crowd…” Asuka astonished begins rapidly shaking her head. "N-no detective Darui, I found it in my friends hand I figured I could come here to get some help to bring the guy who sold it to her to Justice." "Well, if this is what I think it is, I'll need to call in a specialist. The detective then picked up his phone and called for a specialist. “Get me Captain Kay!” he calls out. "Never thought I'd see this stuff again, thought we eradicated it after the Bloody Knuckles gang were taken off the streets. Captain Kay won't be happy" He says under his breath. "Well speak of the Devil himself." Officer Darui says as Captain Kay approaches. “You called Officer Darui?” he says looking to the older gentlemen at his desk.. “Greetings Captain Kay, think you could help out my freind here?” remarks detective Darui as he gestures to Asuka.
“I'll see what I can do,I’m officer Kay Nine, at your service what can I do for you.” said the officer as he held out his hand for a shake.
Captain Kay despite his name was anything but a dog and was actually more of a fox, he had bright orange fur and kept a very sharp look about him much like an actual fox would he spoke with a very confident tone of voice, and carried himself like someone who knew what he was doing and he earned his rank of captain and was very much like the man in charge. Asuka clears her throat, and shakes his hand.
“On behalf of the Z-force, I’d like to help you track down a drug dealer are you familiar with dragon dust?”
Captain Kay looked up at Asuka with a strong conviction in his eyes.
“You're talking to the former head of the K9 narcotics unit I was literally born to track down drugs, of course, I’m familiar with dragon dust, I thought we thought we purged that from the streets years ago. I’m a more than little disappointed to hear that it’s made a comeback.”
“I found this sample clutched in my friend's hand after I found her passed out from the stuff. What can you tell me about it…?”
Captain Kay takes a sniff of the substance and stops to think.
“It’s pure...uncut with any other additives this stuff is the real deal alright not some cheap imitation but that can only mean one thing…This isn’t some off-market imitation made by a local street gang it comes from the originators themselves the white dragon mafia, this looks like a job for my SHINE division.”
“SHINE, really Kay?” says Darui.
“If anyone can handle it it’s them, Dragon Dust needs to be stopped.” Officer Kay Nine says with a nod.
“What’s SHINE?” Asuka says.
“Only the most elite narcotics division on Earth..” Detective Darui adds in.
“Indeed, my SHINE agents or members of the Super Hi-tech Illegal Narcotics Enforcement division are the best drug trackers on the planet and we handle all missions that involve the distribution, production or trafficking of illegal drugs, with our specialty being in tracking illegal drug dealers throughout the known galaxy From Space Vegas all the way to Abbayor and Tech Tech, and if Dragon Dust is back we’ll need their help and we’ll have to be through if we want to get it off the streets for good. You said you work with the Z-force correct. If you’re willing to work with us. I’m willing to forward any and all information I can to help your cause. I can even provide you with a ship, to help get you there even faster, but we’ll need to be rather covert and get some leads first. What did you say your name was again miss..”
“Asuka, Atsuki Asuka.” she bows to the police officer.
“Well Asuka, do you think you could provide us with a sketch of the offender who may have sold your friend these drugs.”
“I saw a man in a white vest, I’m not sure he was but he was driving a very suspicious looking van when I saw him leave the scene. But I’m not sure if he had any connection to what happened to my friend.”
The officer then looks to her.
“Your friend where is she now?”
“Recovering, at the East City hospital.”
He nods his head and then places his hand on his chin in contemplation.
“Do you think maybe when she’s able you could have her come here and maybe drum up a sketch for us, I doubt that if he’s with the group I assume he is that we’ll be seeing him any time soon he just comes down to make sure that the drugs are properly made and distributed once he’s got a clientele he doesn’t need to show his face anymore. His dealers make all the cash and then send back 90% of their profits his way and use the remaining 10% in order to keep operations up.”
Asuka takes in the information from the officer and nods her head. “I’ll see what I can do, I don’t know when she’ll be released.”
“Well the second she is please bring her here, I’m gonna go and get the squad ready, we’ll take down their kingpin for sure this time.” says Captain Kay.
Asuka watches as the fox-like humanoid walk away.
“Boy he sure seems driven, ” Asuka remarks.
“That’s because Captain Kay has a history with the white dragon clan and a strong connection to Dragon Dust going back to when he father was a member of the force, Officer Kay Nine’s father worked for this very same division years ago and was killed by the kingpin who runs the organization ever since then. Kay created SHINE in his fathers memory and dedicated his life to ending the spread of narcotics but holds a special hatred for Dragon Dust. I served with his father when I rookie before being moved out to Cup City, so I know how much this means to him. I just hope he can keep his head on straight.”
As these words are spoken Captain Kay can be seen entering his office and grabbing the keys to his squad car off of his desk. He then exits and heads over to his squad car and prepares to take off however just before doing so he takes out a small photograph from behind the case that holds his badge at a photograph of another officer who bares a strong resemblance to him this man was his Father Captain Jay.
“I’ll get em this time, I won’t let you down dad.”
He then takes off in his vehicle and makes his way to SHINE headquarters.
MEANWHILE
In SPACE VEGAS “So you’ve succeeded in establishing a new supply line for Dragon Dust eh Nama. Good, I guess you ain’t so useless after all, with our new dragon dust empire, we’ll have the people of the north quadrant eating out of the palm of our hands, first Earth, next the galaxy.”
Nama can be seen kneeling towards a man sitting in a large throne however this man looks to be no older than Nama himself however despite his youthful appearance this is lord Kaza a powerful drug lord and dealer of the cartel who was rumored to have made a deal with a powerful deity in order to gain massive power, in exchange for his soul...Little does he know he is slowly being taken control of by that same deity who is tricking into believing that his own plans for world domination are his and his alone. He spoke with a slow calculating voice, and had a cold aura about him. But for now, none of that matters he had bigger fish to fry and his first target was Earth.
MEANWHILE AT THE HOSPITAL
Asuka rushes to the hospital heading in to check in desk in order to visit Zam to see if she’s ready to be discharged. Upon being cleared to enter Asuka heads down the hallway towards Zam’s room but in uncertain of what she’ll find. Here’s hoping the young colorful Majin is doing well. Majin Zam WC: 1976 TWC: 2,935

Zam was way too out of it to really understand what happened. She babbled complete nonsense mixed with bouts of laughter. Honestly she wasn’t even sure why everything was so funny. It just was! She felt like she was flying through rainbows. All the pretty colors flashed so brightly. Dancing stars filled her vision and funky music flowed into her ears. She wasn’t sure which way was up and she didn’t care either. Someone called her name from far, far away, but it didn’t matter. She was having fun up here. And she never wanted to go back…
Unfortunately, all trips had to end eventually. The nice, spinny feeling faded away, leaving behind a deep craving for more. Sudden shivers trailed across her skin. More. A slithering whisper in her head demanded more of the weird candy. Like nails on a chalkboard, it clawed at her mind. More... It needed MORE. Buuut, as usual, the magical creature wasn’t really paying attention. A familiar rush surged through her body. The bad feelings went away, like they always did. All better!
And thus we catch up to the present...
As Asuka approached the right room, a familiar shriek pierced the door. "No! Zam doesn’t wanna!" The voice brimmed with anger and panic. Sounded like she was in trouble! ...But then again, she reacted the same way to broccoli, so maybe there was no rush. Inside of the room was complete chaos. The covers of the bed were tangled up on the floor. A tray of cheap hospital food had been splattered on the wall. Aaaand Zam was hovering near the ceiling. All the giggles from before were gone, as were the unstable sparks. Her energy had returned to being just the usual kind of wild.
Two nurses were trying and failing to coax the little terror down. The younger woman, a beginner fresh from some fancy academy, was hiding behind a big clipboard. It held the girl’s medical chart, noting her as healthy with plenty of question marks. All the tests they had performed had given baffling results. Like how the toxin levels had suddenly dropped to zero... Majin physiology was something that modern medicine just couldn’t explain. Still, the bright-eyed nurse was trying her very best to convince and help the strange child. "N-now now, Zam... I-it’s not t-that bad, I promise..." Unfortunately she was stumbling over her words too much to really get anywhere.
Meanwhile, the graying veteran next to the quivering novice glared sternly at the misbehaving child. Evidently the stout woman had seen some stuff over the decades, because a flying, pink putty creature wasn’t even giving her pause. She clearly wasn’t being paid enough to deal with this nonsense. "Look, young lady, I don’t care how yucky you think the detox pills are, you must take them. Doctor’s orders." She underlined her point by rattling a small cup holding colorful capsules. In response, the childish Majin blew a raspberry and folded her arms with a huff. Well, good talk. Words: 515 [Total = 1038] Hanzo Medjikara

Hearing Zam in a panic Asuka heads towards the room only to see the young girl floating in The air causing a disturbance amongst the nurses. Asuka wanted to yell in order to calm the young woman down but she was just relieved that the young Majin hadn't been heavily injured from the drugs that she had consumed in the past Asuka had seen some of the children from her orphanage being subjected to the influence of dragon dust and the results were debilitating. And then there was the horrendous addiction process the migraines that came with it were horrendous a pounding that rang in your head like nothing you've felt before the piercing pain only ever able to be satiated by another hit of the dangerous substance. And the more you took the more of a tolerance you would develop and with the way drugs are dealt since less of the drug is actually contained in the substance once its been cut the addiction would only worsen. “Zam...its me Asuka. I'm gonna need you be a big girl and listen to the Doctors Okay?”
Asuka gripped her hand to calm the pink child down. She's probably confused scared and unsure of what was happening. And while Asuka was disappointed in what Zam had done she was glad she was safe and needed to be there to aid in order to aid in Zam's recovery. She needed to be calm, stern but not too rough the young Majin didn't know any better and needed to educate her on what she had done wrong. “It's okay...now please get in the bed. I promise I'll be right here.”
MEANWHILE Back at the police station. Detective Darui enters inside of Captain Kay’s office. He took his seat, despite his animalistic appearance, Captain Kay kept a very business-like appearance on his face as his tail swung tentatively and tensely behind him. “Detective, I’m going to need you to do me a favor, would you be willing to get back on the force and patrol the streets? I know you’ll be retiring soon but you’re the only here who has knowledge on Dragon Dust and its whereabouts I need your detective skills in order to keep this stuff from getting back out again.” The Fox places his hands together and looks to the detective with a great intensity Detective Darui seems a tad nervous never in a million years would he have figured that the Captain of the police force would as for his help. Detective Darui hadn’t been on a case in years though he secretly did wish to put his uniform back on again and go back into sleuthing on the streets bringing down the bad guys just like in the old days. He wasn't in it for the glory he wanted to keep people safe and that was something that he and Captain Kay had in common and it was why the Captain respected his skill. “What do you say?” remarked Captian Kay. Detective Darui sat and thought on it for a short while. “You really think this old dusty detective has what it takes?” Captain Kay answered almost immediately. “There’s no one I trust more. I know you can do it detective.” The captain was floored by the captains great deal of faith knowing how well he knew the Captain’s family he just couldn’t let him down. “I’ll try not to let you down Captain, but where would you like me to start.” Captain Kay nodded his head. “That’s not up to me, you're the detective I’ll give you free rein to find your own leads. It’s not like I have any to begin with in the first place. But I did prep the members of SHINE to be combat ready in the event that this takes us outside of our planetary borders.” Detective Darui underestimated the Captains devotion to eradicating this drug. “You’ve really got your mind set on this.” Captain Kay went silent for a moment shutting his eyes to think. “I have too, Detective that way no young child on earth or anywhere has to lose their lives to something so senseless. I’m a lawman it’s my job to be the hero.” The detective gives a smirk to the Captain. “You’re a lot like your father Kay, I’m sure he’d be proud.” Kay then looks to the photo of his father he keeps on his desk. “Yeah, I sure hope so Darui...I sure hope so.” BACK AT THE HOSPITAL With Zam now calmed down, the Doctors marked down a few results from the tests, with several busted syringes discarded in the biohazard waste box. “After getting some diagnostics done, she appears to be fine her Majin physiology seems to have completely purged her of the substance, I guess the dosage wasn't strong enough, however now that it's in her system. Her Majin antibodies might actually make her immune to it. But she should still avoid taking it, as some of the chemicals can still make her very sick." Asuka who holds Zam’s hand looks to her friend. “Zam...you should know better than to take things from strangers. I’m so disappointed in you what would Netto say?” Asuka said looking to Zam with a look of sorrow on her face as a result of Zam’s actions. But she gives her a hug anyway. “But I’m glad you’re okay. Please don’t do that again. Okay? Just because you're a majin doesn't mean your invincible.” Asuka then looks her friend in the eye with a solemn look of concern, she had seen a lot of people sick from Dragon dust before when she was younger and she didn't want to see something like that happen to someone she knew personally she then placed her hands on her friends shoulders and looked to her once again with a piercing gaze. "Promise me you'll stay away from Dragon Dust okay, if you ever see that bad man again you tell those men in the blue uniforms okay." Majin Zam (WC: 1032) (TWC: 3,967)

At first Zam was elated to see her friend burst through the door. "Miss Asuka!" Finally she hovered closer. Her glee was short-lived though. The golden gaze blinked at the unexpected reaction. "...Eeeeeeh?!" She recoiled at the realization, trying to retreat back into the corner. Her free hand pointed accusing at the nurses. "But but but they are mean and I don’t wanna and pills taste bad and and and-!" And the childish complaints would’ve just kept coming if the stout nurse hadn’t seized the chance. She snatched the girl into a perfect headlock and emptied the cup down her throat. Not the most graceful method, but nobody could argue with the results. ...Well, except maybe Zam. She made a small show of gagging, squirming and melodramatically clutching her throat while whining about yucky pills.
Still, having a friend here calmed the Majin down enough. Finally the staff could finish their tests. Even if it was an uphill battle... For something so bouncy and squishy, the pink flesh resisted the needles fiercely. They bent and broke against it. She didn’t like needles, not one bit. Eventually though there was progress. Results came in and doctors discussed with each other. As baffling as it was, no one could deny that the girl was somehow healthy. While they had differing theories on how she might react to a new dose, for now all traces of the drug had been magically purged from her body. Magically indeed...
When the martial artist tried to scold the childish creature, all she got from it was a puzzled look. Zam slowly tilted her head. A small puff of steam formed a question mark in the air. "Uh... Mister Netto would say..." Holding up a finger, she morphed her face into a sharper, manlier shape. "Zam, you should make tea out of it. I sure love boring tea." Not the most flattering impersonation, no. Well, at least the hug was better received. She squeezed back with a cheerful giggle. "No, silly~! It means I’m immortal!" It was one of those things she just knew somehow. Like flying and shooting energy.
However, what Asuka said afterwards left the little Majin quiet. She listened till the end, when suddenly her brow furrowed. "...Nuh uh, you got it all backwards!" She punctuated her words by patting the older girl’s shoulder. Pat pat pat with conviction! "That man in fancy clothes gave Zam free candy, so he’s a nice man! And those blue people won’t let Zam do fun things, so they are big meanies! Du~h!" Flawless logic. Not that she knew what either of those words meant. She had already made up her mind. The martial artist wouldn’t change the stubborn child’s opinion with words alone.
The moment was interrupted by a loud groan. Zam’s bottomless stomach was rumbling, reminding her that it was waaaaay past dinnertime. With that, her thoughts zipped onto far more important things. More patting ensued. "Hey, hey Miss Asuka! Hey, listen! Can we get pizza tonight?" She loved pizza! In the background, the doctors announced that the child was healthy enough to be discharged. The nurses on the other hand were giving Asuka, erm, encouraging nudges to get the tiny terror out of the hospital as soon as possible. Words: 556 [Total = 1594] Hanzo Medjikara

Asuka shakes her head as she looks to her childish companion. She needed to find a way to get her to understand how dangerous these drugs were, she didn’t smile and she remained stern. “No, Zam no pizza, bad girls don’t get Pizza!” as Asuka finished scolding Zam, a young man one of the children who had taken Dragon Dust the other day enters into the room, his body convulsing and foaming at the mouth his pupils practically gone from the whites of his eyes. Doctors and nurses rush the young man and pull back the curtain his shadow can be seen violently trashing about as the doctors and nurses attempt to restrain him. “Hook him up to the EKG machine, NOW! He needs something to stop the convulsions.” As the doctors hook him up to the machine the young man can be heard shrieking almost as if his mind had been destroyed by the horrifying substance. Something Asuka was all too familiar with. Such horrors were all too common on the streets of Cup City. “He won’t last long.” Asuka thought to herself. “See Zam, maybe that can happen to you, but you care about me about Mr. Netto you would realize that, that “candy.” that “Mr. Nice guy.” gave you isn’t candy and he isn’t very nice.” Asuka looked to Zam and then fixed her gaze on the audible suffering of the young man behind the curtain. Pausing so that the Majin can hear every word of his trip induced agony. " Just listen to what that young man is going through, and just think about all of the other people who are under the influence of it. So please Zam stay away from him and report him to the police.” She squeezes the Majins hand looking to her with the utmost sincerity. “Those blue meanies stop people like that young man from getting sick and keep mean men like the man who gave you that candy off the streets.”
Asuka then exhales and speaks once again with a stern tone. "And I promise you they aren't so bad, you'll see what I mean once you meet them yourself because you're going to go tell them everything you know about that mean who gave you those nasty drugs as soon as we leave!”
She didn't like raising her voice at Zam but knew that it was what she had to do in order to the young girl to cooperate. Meanwhile back at the Police Station, things have been very busy for Captain Kay and newly instated Detective Darui, both men stand inside of a large room with a sea of lockers in front of them. Officer Darui and Captain Kay make their way down what looks like a library of lockers each one marked with an orange sticker denoting the crimes that had taken place, along with when and where they were recovered from. “So detective, what is it that you managed to uncover?” they continue to walk forward only to stop in front of a tall locker that Detective Darui opens up and pulls out a few photographs and a small bag of dust. “Well all throughout the day, I’ve been patrolling and managed to find this “food truck.” in a lot of rather suspicious looking places. And as I tailed it, I bumped into an addict who we managed to confiscate another bag of dragon dust from. However I’ve got a feeling this stuff is impure and for them to have their supply already out the door within day 2 of its return means they must be working fast. Freshly cut and already dealing. He kept it hidden inside of a brown paper bag, I found it on him after pulling him over. We suspected him of looking like a criminal linked to another case.” Captain Kay’s tail begins to swing fiercely. “This is bad...” The detective places the evidence back in the locker but hands the bag of dust over to Captain Kay. “I'll have it looked over in the lab, but we’re still going to need that key witness to help us find that dealer. In the meantime, you keep looking for leads. I appreciate your work Detective.” The detective looks to Captain Kay. “Of course Captain Kay. I’ll keep my eye out.”
As the police work hard to find the originators of the disease, the originators seemed to be none the wiser, feeling as though they had secured their stranglehold on the streets of the Earth for the time being and on Space Vegas, Nama was living the high life however with the snooping police officer sticking his nose where it didn’t belong Nama felt he needed to be dealt with and quickly. As he sat in his office overlooking a large nightclub, The White Dragon, being “tended to.” by one of the hostesses in the building, an associate of his made his way over to him. He seemed rather meek and frail and was uncertain as to how to approach his boss during this most delicate of situations. “Nama...some of our men have been noticing a certain “dick.” snooping around where he shouldn’t be.” Nama barely even glanced at the man as he lifted a glass of champagne to his lips. “So what, if you can see him you can shoot him, if he gets to close the boys known how to deal with him.” his associate took the message and left his leaders sight. It was clear that Nama had no time to deal with Detective Darui but also wasn't too worried about his involvement he had faith in his men, however he clearly wasn’t aware of the detective's tenacity. LATER BACK ON EARTH After Asuka and Zam exit the hospital, Asuka follows up on Captain Kay's request, bringing in Zam for questioning as they arrive at the front desk, Detective Darui who is still working his shift notices Zam and immediately waves to her. “Well hello there family, Asuka I wasn’t aware you adopted a daughter?” Asuka blushes fiercely. “No Detective Darui-san, I’m much too young to start a family!” Asuka defensively perked up, her face tightening with embarrassment. “This is my friend her name is Zam.” “Ah, that’s right guess I must’ve forgotten, sorry about that. Want some candy kiddo?” Detective Darui tosses a small chocolate bar towards the young Majin. After some time, Captain Kay then arrives and looks to Asuka. “Evening Asuka, Thanks for doing this.” he then looks over at Zam and speaks with a calm tone of voice as not to intimidate the young child even though truthfully he should be more scared of her than the other way around. “Hi there, what’s your name, I’m Captain Kay you mind coming with me so I can ask you some questions.” He then looks up to Asuka. “You’re welcome to join us, I’m assuming you're her legal guardian?” Asuka wasn't entirely too sure how to answer that question so she simply nodded. “Uhh..sure, I’ll come along.” Captain Kay then takes the duo to a small room where a man with a pen and sketch pad can be seen awaiting their arrival behind a two-way mirror. The room itself was small and cramped. As the three of them enter the room Asuka pulls out a chair for Zam and then takes a seat for herself. “So Zam...do you remember anything about the man who gave you that bag of powder, specifically any details about what he looks like?” Captain Kay and the sketch artist await her response. "Go on Zam it's okay, I'm right here, no need to be shy."Majin Zam WC: 1298 TWC: 5,265

Zam’s mood had been slowly improving, rising back to its usual energetic level. ...Until it was brutally smacked back down. Eyes wide like dinner plates and jaw hanging helplessly, she staggered at the worst punishment imaginable. "N-no pizza...?" Tears welled up in the helpless eyes. Glimmering pearls rolled down her cheeks. Soft sobs made her lips tremble with each wavering breath. Perhaps there was a valuable life lesson here, good intentions behind the harsh words. Unfortunately the little girl was preoccupied by far more important matters. "No pizza..." The hollow mutter lingered weakly on her lips. She simply couldn’t understand how her friend could be so cruel... And so Asuka’s explanation drifted in one ear and out the other.
It was only the mention of meeting blue meanies that snapped the sad child out of her daze. At first she gave the martial artist an incredulous stare, thinking she had heard wrong. "Wha-?" No dice. It was exactly what she thought. Her stare turned glowing crimson. "No! I don’t wanna help them! They will try to put me in a room again!" The one time she had been beaten and locked up in Satan City was still fresh in her mind. Hands balling into fists, she was determined to stand her ground. There was no way she would go to the blue meanie house! Nuh uh! Never!
Later at the blue meanie house...
The martial artist had to pretty much drag the stubborn creature inside. Zam mumbled and grumbled constantly how she didn’t want to be here. She glared at the puh-leese man who waved at them. However, the offering of chocolate surprised the girl. Her nose twitched at the sweet and delicious scent. Snatching the treat, she quickly slipped to hide behind Asuka. "Thank you..." Still, manners taught by Grandpa sat tight. When someone gave you something good, you said thank you. As she munched the chocolate, her red stare darted around pensively. If anyone tried anything mean... She would make the whole place go boom.
Luckily, soon enough the scared child got something else to think about. She blinked at the approaching person. The red coloration faded to gentle gold. A huge smile sprung to her features from a bubbly shout. "Ooh, a foxy fox!" The scary uniform stopped her from tackling the furry Earthling into a crushing hug though. Lucky him. "Hi! I’m Zam! Zam is a Majin, is what Zam is!" So quickly her apprehension had vanished. She was nearly back to her usual pace again.
Following the fox, Zam curiously glanced around the strange room. She didn’t take a seat though, instead preferring to float in the air. It was hard to get the girl to sit still for even a moment. Hovering about and occasionally upside down, she strained her memory. After tasting the powder, things were fuzzy, buuut before it... "Hm hm... He looked like... this." She squished and stretched her face with her hands, until it resembled a young man with sharp features. "He had... white fancy clothes, yup. And he smelled like those stinky sticks adults hold in their mouths..." She wiped her sensitive nose idly, pondering what else she could remember. Suddenly the imaginary light bulb lit up and she snapped her fingers. "Ooh and his tingle was a tiny sorta wish wosh!" Her antennae wiggled, underlining her odd explanation.

Asuka watched as Zam did what she was told but still took the time to tug on the Majin’s clothing to pull her to her seat. “Zam...sit down.”
As Zam transposed her face into the image of the man who had sold her the drugs Captain Kay’s expression became rather bothered he had seen this man before his shine agents clued him in as one of Kazuo’s best Lieutenants . “So...Nama Yamaguchi one of the White Dragon Clan’s lieutenants as I feared. If he’s the one fronting the drugs then its no wonder the substance was pure he recruits some of the best street chemists in the galaxy to craft this addictive filth. Thank you young lady, do you remember how tall he was? We’ll need to his for the reports, that man who sold you those drugs is a very bad person wanted all throughout the galaxy. So we’ll need anything else you can give us to help track him down okay?” It was uncertain if Zam knew to just what scale of a criminal Nama was. “See Zam, I told you he was a bad man. Now go on, help the nice man out.” But the words bad man did him and this gang no real justice. The white dragon clan cared for one thing and one thing only wealth, they wanted to amass the greatest amount of capital possible for they had felt that in their world having the money to buy power was easier than obtaining it themselves, though despite their philosophy the higher ranking members such as the leader and a few other top level lieutenants were no pushovers in a fight they just figured they’d rather pick their battles in a wiser manner by staying under the radar. And would deal with those who opposed their greed in brutal fashion instead of killing they would make their foes suffer and preferring to send a message rather than simply committing murder. That’s not to say they never kill but regardless of whether they decide too or not they’re not someone you’d want to be on the wrong side of. But Captain Kay wasn't afraid to deal with them be it beating them at their own game or directly. “Captain Kay come in we need you, it’s urgent.” said a voice over a speaker attached to the captain's uniform. Captain Kay glances down at his walkie-talkie and then back up at the others. “I’m sorry but this sounds urgent. Could you page Detective Darui to come in and conclude the interrogation?” he says to the sketch artist who was busy piecing together her work. “Of course.” she says as she pushes an intercom button in the center of the table. “Paging Detective Darui.”
“Darui here.” the detective responds. “Could you please report to the interrogation room the Captain needs to step out for a moment.” “Of course, I’ll be there in a jiffy.” he responds. Afterward, the Captain leaves to tend to the strange emergency call. “I wonder what’s going on…?” Asuka thinks to herself. After a brief moment, the Captain enters into the room a small amount of frosting on the side of his face from a donut he was eating. “Ehem, alright, now where were we?” Detective Darui asks as he wipes the mess from his face. “The Majin was just about to give us a more physical description of the dealer.” The sketch artist says.

With a rubbery snap the girl’s features returned to their usual soft shape. Cocking her head, she rolled the difficult name on her tongue. "Uh... Nama Jama-huh...?" Honestly, the name wasn’t the only part she didn’t get. Most of the complicated words went waaay of her head. The question she did understand though. Bouncing onto the floor, she took a deep breath and puffed her body. Quickly her short frame swelled to the size of a grown man. "He was thiiiis tall, yup." Nodding firmly, she let out a wheeze and shrunk back down. Wheee! Charades was one of her favorite indoor games!
When the foxy officer explained the man selling things was bad and the martial artist insisted the same, the child’s face immediately soured. Folding her arms with a huff, she slouched in her chair and pouted. "Hmph, he was nice to me..." Her protest was just a half-hearted grumble at this point. She still wasn’t completely convinced. The nice man hadn’t done anything wrong or mean to her. "Oh and he didn’t sell anything... He gave those funny candies for free..." Nobody who gave out free candy could be all bad. ...Right? Right.
The sudden departure didn’t spark much interest from the sulking girl. No, she was hungry and bored and she wanted to go home and and... Bleh. None of this made any sense. Miss Asuka kept telling her that the nice man was bad... But if he was a bad man then why didn’t the blue meanies just put him into the small, boring room? Or make him go boom? All this talk about tracking him down puzzled her further. Why not just follow his tingle? It was right there in the air. Bleeeeh! Adults were just so weird and stubborn sometimes! Her grumpy mood improved only the slightest bit when the nice mister from earlier entered the room. He had given her chocolate, sooo he was okay. For a puh-leese person at least.
Asuka’s words fell to deaf ears. Zam wondered something else entirely. Shifting in her seat, she stared intently at the treat Darui was eating. Her nose twitched, catching the sugary scent. This was a subject where she was an expert. She could smell tasty things from miles away. Literally! Leaning forth, she excitedly drummed the table. "Hey, mister! Hey, listen! Can Zam have a donut too? Pretty please~?" The golden gaze held a charming glimmer, giving the pleading words all the more oomph. Giving in now would’ve definitely undermined Asuka’s lesson regarding bad girls, buuut it might also do wonders for the child’s willingness to cooperate. Denying it, on the other hand, would’ve driven the point home, buuut also meant dealing with a grumpy Majin. Choices, choices... It wasn’t easy raising a mischievous magic creature.

Detective Darui smiled at the Majin’s request “Well I’d like too but I left them at my desk.” Asuka saw the light in the young Majin's eyes and smiled. “I think she’s been a good girl, I’ll go get them if you don’t mind.” Asuka said as she smiled to her young Majin friend. “Just head down the hallway to my office and they’re in a small pink box.” Asuka listens to the instruction and nods her head before leaving the room. As she enters into the hallway she overhears Captain Kay in his office, he seemed to be locked in a rather serious conversathion pacing back in forth and nodding his head as he recieved the information. However Asuka pays it no mind and continues to head toward Detective Darui’s desk. MEANWHILE In the interrogation room Detective Darui continues his rather gentle interrogation process. “So yes Nama Yamaguchi, he’s a very bad person and what he gave you was definitely not candy, and if his drug is allowed to spread there won’t be any more candy left, but thanks to your information we might be able to help us stop him.” The Sketch artist looks to Detective Darui in disbelief. “Detective that’s a little extreme...but I suppose she is a child…” she thinks to herself “Just like Miss Asuka said, he’s a bad person who works with other bad people so anything you can tell us is very helpful, so will you help us stop these candy killers Zam?” He says giving Zam a genuine look. After some time Asuka enters back into the room. “Who’s hungry!” she says as she sets down the box of donuts. As she sets it down Detective Darui dips his hand inside of the box of donuts with a fiendish smile, taking one for himself. “Go on dig in kiddo.” he says looking to Asuka. “Sorry Darui-san, I’ve got a diet to maintain.”Detective Darui swallows his donut and laughs at the girl. “Asuka You’re so young, don’t be such a stickler?” “Says the detective.” Asuka says eyeing the officer. “I suppose you are right.” He then lets out a cackle his light heartedness making Asuka chuckle. As Asuka opens the box and sets them on the table, she opens the box much to the delight of the detective who reaches for one of the ring shaped frosty delights with a greedy look in the eye taking a pleased bite out of it only to scarf it down in another 2 bites. "You don't know what you're missing Asuka chan." Asuka gives him a chuckle. "A few extra pounds of weight that I don't need Darui-san."But as the whimsical moment comes to an end the sketch artists makes a loud groaning sound as she clears her throat in order to interrupt the others. “Well, sir I actually think we have all the information that we need. All we need now is…” After a moment Captain Kay enters into the room. “Ah Captain Kay, you’ve returned.” Captain Kay looks to the sketch artist and everyone else in the room. “Greetings everyone did I miss anything?” He looks down at the donuts on the desk. “Are we having a snack break?”“Actually Sir, we were just wrapping up.” The skecth artist says. “So we have enough to put out an alert to the major metropolitan areas?” Captain Kay remarks. “Indeed we do, Captain.” Darui says. The sketch artist then presents the finished artwork to the Captain. “Good then I’m leaving it up to you to handle then Detective, I need to report to SHINE HQ my second in command would like to have a word with me by the time I’m back I’d like to see this stuff off the streets I’d also like a copy sent to the SHINE HQ, they’ll need it to keep watch just in case he decides to sneak back into our radar. Which reminds me, Asuka would you like to accompany me to SHINE HQ? Since we know for a fact that Nama is a wanted criminal in a different part of the galaxy this now becomes a Galatic Patrol issue and as a member of the galatic patrol I’d like to request your aid."
Detective Darui looks to Captain Kay rather wide eyed. “You’re really serious aren’t you?” he says. “Well alright then sir, I’ll see to it that it gets done then.” “I’m counting on you detective.” Captain Kay adds, he then looks over to Asuka. “So will you join me in meeting with the SHINE force?” he asks. “Well I’d have to ask my teammate. What do you say Zam-chan?” Asuka says looking back at the Majin. Majin ZamWC: 810 TWC: 6,662

Soon the little Majin’s smile widened. "Yaaay donuts!" While Asuka went to get the treats, Zam’s attention was drawn entirely on the nice puh-leese man ...Who she now decided was her new friend. Anybody who gave free donuts was a good person. Eyes shining she eagerly hung to his every word. However, the shocking truth had made her recoil. With a soft gasp she lost her smile. "N-no more candy...?" Pure horror washed over her features. She teared up when the drawing girl agreed with the man. "C-c-candy killers...?" Finally she understood why Miss Asuka had been so upset. If this Nama meanie wasn’t stopped... then all the candy in the world would turn into fake candy! And that was terrible!
Trembling with righteous anger, the girl’s hands balled into tight fists. Her energy flared into translucent wisps around her. Whistling steam ruffled her messy hair. She nodded firmly. "Yeah! I’m gonna find all these candy killer guys! And make them go boom!" Even with the childish misunderstanding taking place, the police had just secured themselves a powerful and nigh-invincible ally. By the sacred promise of donuts, they had managed to bind an ancient destroyer to their will. All thanks to Darui's and Asuka's kindness. Now their next challenge was keeping the little firecracker under control before she... erm... helped.
Fortunately the donut delivery arrived just in time! Wiping the tears away, Zam bounced on her seat. "Me, me, me!" Wildly flailing grabby hands reached for the goodies. Just as quickly the angry energy faded away. She took two right away, chomping the first and nibbling the other. Sugary goodness filled her mouth. A happy hum danced in the air between the bites. Yummeh~! Donuts were super amazing! Her tummy agreed. Even a whole box didn’t last long against the gluttonous girl, but she was going to savor every second of it. Fed Majin was a happy Majin.
While adults talked, the hungry creature stuffed her face. She wasn’t really even listening. All the blabbering simply mixed together in her mind, turning into this messy, sloppy word porridge. And she didn’t even like porridge! Upon hearing the name of the force though, she briefly imagined a room full of shiny foxes. They were tippy tapping around wildly, making fox noises and shining! Only Asuka’s direct question popped the imagination bubble. After a puzzled blink, the girl nodded excitedly. "Ooh, sure! I wanna see the shiny people!" Right. Well. Someone may have been in for a big disappointment. At any rate, she was ready to go wherever Asuka and Mister Foxy Fox wanted to lead her. Words: 444 [Total = 3084] Hanzo Medjikara

“Lead the way, Captain Kay, good-bye for now Detective Darui it was good to see you again!” Asuka said as she took Zam by the hand and walked out with her. “Come along Zammy-chan!” Asuka says affectionately . MEANWHILEInside of a large space station out in the distance a wolf like humanoid dawning an outfit similar to Captain Kay's could be seen taking a phone call. He had a cigarette in his mouth and a sinister tone of voice. “Alright, you keep the supply’s coming and we deliver you the Captain. I think this is a decent agreement not sure what this dragon dust is but it’s good stuff shame my teammates didn’t see reason.”Behind him a pile of bloody bodies riddled with claw marks, more than likely left behind by the wolf on the phone. “But I’m sure you have your own set of "prospective candidates" to replace them. Keeping watch for your gang is more than a one man job, think you can get em here within the next hour or so...I’ve got company coming and could use someone to help spruce up the place. Wouldn’t want the captain to be none the wiser.” There is a pause as the muffled voice speaks to him. “Pleasure working with you Yamaguchi.”After he ends the call his bloodied claws can be seen tapping against the arm of the chair he sits in as he stares out at the earth, he then bares his claws and laughs softly. “He’ll never know what hit him.”MEANWHILE DOWN ON EARTH Asuka, Zam and Captain Kay arrive a the Earth Outer Rim HQ down on Earth, upon entering inside “Asuka, Zam welcome to Earth OR HQ.” several men and women were seen dressed in outfits much like Captain Kay’s. The atmosphere of the office was very business-like with many officers walking about with a great deal of urgency as if every second needed to be spent doing something to solve the current interplanetary crisis. Asuka squeezed Zam’s hand to make sure they wouldn’t get lost amongst the sea of people. As they walked through the building they reached a door with another Fox guarding the door. “Sorry Captain you know the rules, no civillians beyond this point.” “Oh these aren’t civillians, they’re members of the Z-force they’ve got clearance.”Asuka pulls out a small ID card from her pocket with hers and Zam’s ID indentifying them as having proper security clearance. The guard examines it. “Go on ahead, but if they cause trouble it’s your ass Captain.”“I’m well aware, Sergeant.” As they enter inside a large teleporter can be seen in the center of the room with an office directly in the front a man in a short lab coat blonde hair and a glasses gives them a hearty greeting “Greetings Captain Kay. Headed up to SHINE HQ?”“Yes Sir.” he says greeting the officer. “Alirght, Just a second.” says the officer as he pushes a few buttons on the computer in front of his desk. Asuka looks around marveling at all of the technology on display seeing at least a whole row of teleporters out in the distance. "Man how many of them are there?" she asks. "At least 2 or 3 dozen we've got to get our several different stations around Earth as quickly as we can and service as many units as possible." After a moment the large platform in the background comes to life as a series of lights and gizmos whirr and buzz until the platform itself is lit white and a large woosh causes small particles of light to dance about as the sounds of electricity buzzes throughout the room. “She's all set.” says the officer with a prideful look on his face turning to face the teleporter behind him. "Head on down when you're ready and give me a thumbs up when you're all set."Captain Kay gestures for them to follow along. Asuka leads Zam onto the machine. It's lights and impressive technological architecture even easier to appreciate when up close. “We gotta get one of these for the watch tower.” Asuka says to herself. “You all ready?” Says the teleporter operator. Captain Kay gives a thumbs up and suddenly they're slowly vaporized from the top down into small particles and vanish into dust. Moments later the trio arrive on board a space station but as soon as they arrive something immediately seems amiss. The station is quiet too quiet. “Something isn't right. Be on your guard girls.” Asuka nods and looks to Zam to make sure she understands. “Captain I’ll have you know we’re perfectly capable of handling ourselves. Right Zam-chan!” Asuka says her eyes glowing white as she calmly enters the Shouten State. As the duo head through the dimly space station they arrive at the command deck, where a wolf like figure can be seen standing high atop on a balcony looking down at the trio, with a dark smirk on his face. “Arcann? What’s going on…?”“A mutiny...Captain…got orders from my new boss to put a stop to your interferences. The white dragon are putting a lot of money in my pockets and well, I simply can’t turn that down.”Soon they find themselves surrounded by soldiers wearing the white dragon clan’s uniform. Simple white suits, however their skin appears to be a darker shade almost as if their entire bodies had been poisoned by something. Asuka’s eyes began to emit a white glow as she and her partner prepared for a fight, as the enemy assaulted them with their ferocious onslaught of attacks using swords, whips and other interestingly ki based weapons, Captain Kay holds his own, Whilst Asuka begins to retaliate as well knocking down foes left and right with a focused offense. But while they’re distracted Arcann began to make his departure. Captain Kay spotting this chases after Arcann. “You two handle these guys, I’m going after Arcann.” With that Captain Kay vanished in the blink of an eye, vanishing like a ghost leaving behind a simple after image. Leaving Zam and Asuka to finish the fight amongst the sea of malicious warriors. Majin ZamWC: 1056 TWC: 7.718

For once the chaotic creature followed along obediently. She was looking forward to meeting all the shiny people! Along the way she stared in wide-eyed wonder at all the new sights. Good thing Asuka was there to hold her hand, or she would have gotten lost within moments. And she only asked if they were there yet a couple... of dozen times. Fortunately for everyone involved, arriving to the mysterious room managed to shut her up at last. She followed onto the platform, growing more confused by the moment. This was the weirdest space rocket thing she had ever seen. The question was met with another. "Ready for-?" She didn’t get to finish the question as her head and mouth vanished away.
When the trio materialized at their destination, Zam was left all sorts of distracted. Her ki was glimmering with strange sparks. Weird flashes passed through her mind. It was like she had felt this a super long time ago... Disappearing in one place and appearing in another far far away... Yes, it felt familiar. Just like fighting, flying and making things go boom. She couldn’t explain how she knew... For now it was just food for thought, tucked away in one of the vacant corners in her mind. Maybe one day she would figure out what her instincts were telling her today and go on a grand adventure somewhere incredible... Or maybe not.
The airheaded child only snapped back to reality when Asuka addressed her. "Hm? Oh yeah! Totally!" ...She had no idea what was going on, but she agreed anyway. Following along, she swept her curious gaze around. ...Until she spotted the furred figure glaring from above. "Doggy!" Unsurprisingly she completely missed the gravity of the situation. She just wanted to give the furry new friend a hug! And the distraction was costly. The ki weapons swiftly tore the oblivious girl into a pile of pink goo. Pulsating goo... Swirling and twitching, she regenerated in a matter of seconds. Eyes shining orange, she flashed a toothy grin.
"My turn~!"
Naturally, the little Majin reveled in chaos. Her limbs stretched into rubbery whips, attacking from odd angles. She grabbed someone by the collar and spun him around like a living wrecking ball. Releasing the goon sent him crashing through his allies. Those who avoided it were soon tripped by a sweeping kick. Every weird attack sent several foes flying into walls. All the while the chaotic creature giggled maniacally. For someone so small, her raw power was absurd. Self-control on the other hand... Well, she had none. As the fight went on, her eyes turned redder and smile wider. With each passing second, she was growing stronger and crazier. It was in her nature. Words: 458 [Total = 3506] Hanzo Medjikara

As the combat raged on between Zam Asuka and the group the duo found themselves outnumbered. But Asuka and her Majin's friend combined might managed to disable a the hefty and disorganized offense. And Eventually after finding her rhythm managed the former managed to make a huge dent in their numbers, countering foes and tossing them aside with carefully placed attacks, allowing her to easily take out half of their numbers. However, during Zam's rampage, Asuka was accidentally floored when she was struck by one of her blows. “Zam…” Asuka called out to her companion in an effort to calm her down. “Zam…!” now shouting but still even raising her voice was not enough to calm the small pink monster. “Zam…!” Seeing that words weren't helping Asuka grabbed the young girls arm and gave her a stern look. “Zam...Control yourself, you almost gave me a concussion.” Asuka tapped her fingers against the Majins head in an effort to discipline the young child. “You and me need to have a talk when this is over.” Asuka said in a stern voice. “Now then where’s the captain…” She says aloud looking about the ship. Meanwhile, in a hallway down the way Captain Kay chases Arcann down a corridor inside of the ship. “Arcann! Why are you doing this, what’s the real reason, how could you just abandon Earth for pocket change!?” Arcann turns back but instead of giving an answer he simply fires off a round from his plasma pistol which lands square in Captain Kay’s chest, thankfully his plasma resistant vest managed to shield him from the blow. As he stumbled to his feet Arcann enters a room with the words “Docking Bay 3.” written on the side of the door in red letters and after getting his bearings Captain Kay follows behind. Upon entering inside he sees Arcann entering inside of a red and white spacecraft and exiting out of the ship. Captain Kay, an adept pilot himself hops inside a ship of his own and gives pursuit. Arcann pilots a special bomber class ship meant for high-speed instances and quick skirmishes in outer space, it comes loaded with special rockets that house small micro bombs that detonate upon contact with their target. Captain Kay pilots a ship that has an adaptable armor system that equips it for a variety of situations. Able to move at high speeds chases by switching to light armor or heavy skirmishes, by switching to thicker armor. And while Its weapons loadout are moderate to average. Its sheer versatility makes itthe perfect ship for any situation. By the time Asuka and Zam arrive both men are gone. “What do we do now?” Asuka says to herself. Meanwhile out in the depths of space, a dramatic battle ensues as Captain Kay chases down Arcann. “Good...just as planned…” Arcann says his tone changing speaking now with a calmer and mindful voice. But why the sudden shift, mere moments ago he was seemingly ready to kill the Captain and now he speaks as if the latters events had not just transpired. “Captain...listen to me...what happened back there. I’m sorry...it was a ruse”
Captain Kay not wanting to be tricked again gets Arcann in his sites and fires a bolt at his former comrades ship. “You expect me to believe that after the stunt you pulled…”
Arcann maneuvers his ship into a barrel roll to dodge out of the way of the bolt which exploded after a few hundred feet he then loops behind the Captain's ship in order “Listen...I can understand why you wouldn't want to trust me but don't you think I would've aimed for your head rather than your chest if I wanted you dead? I'm working on a plan, The white dragon came to me with an offer and we took it. But not for the reasons you think, everything I pulled back there was a part of a deal and this is their final step to hand you over to them for incarceration, but this is your opportunity Captain, they keep their prison in the same place as their stronghold, you can take them down from the inside.” “What about the others? The only people on board were you and the white dragons men.” Captain Kay skeptically responded. “They’re alive, I stuffed their bodies in the infirmary their hurt but they’re alive. I need you to trust me...we’re approaching the blockade.” “Blockade…?” Asked the captain in surprise. After traveling for a few more miles a large ship warps into the horizon, emblazoned on it's sides a large white dragon crest symbolizing the fearsome might of the white dragon clan. “C’mon Captain I have to open up the communication line...I’ll bring your girls and the others to bail you out...”
Captain Kay now surrounded and with no other options and was forced to surrender. “Arcann...betray me again and I’ll see you court martialed.”
Captain Kay powers down his ship and is soon engulfed in a blue light and pulled into the docking bay of the large ship looming beside him. “The Captain is accounted for gentlemen.” Arcann says shifting back to his more sinister sounding tone. On the deck of the ship Kaza the leader of the clan can be seen staring Captain Kay Down. “Head back to your post Arcann we’ll call you if we need you again, be sure to let Yamaguchi through when he arrives at your port.”“Understood.” Arcann remarks, blasting back out into space. LATER
Back on board the space station Asuka and Zam are left wondering what to do next, with Captain Kay gone Asuka figured the best course of action would be to return to HQ and ask other members what they should do next. “Hmm...I guess we should just head back to the…” “BANG! BANG!” goes a noise coming from somewhere deep within the ship. “Zam you hear that...?”
Suspiscious, Asuka heads down a hallway, gesturing for Zam to follow her along. As they embark throughout the ship the sound of the banging intensifies becoming louder, and louder as they get ever closer. "I think we're getting close."Their search leads them to a long silver hallway with a series of medicinal offices surrounding it. At the end of the hallway a large white door with a red sign above that reads "infirmary." with each instance of banging producing a large dent in the door. Asuka cautiously approaches it and enters into the Shouten state uncertain of what could potentially be behind the door. “Zam I'm not sure what to do but i think something is behind that door? It could be some kind of beast...or...”Asuka then hears a muffled sound of screams. "No wait...there's someone behind the door!" Asuka attempts to use her bandages to pull the door apart but can't find an opening to latch on to, she then sees a hand scanner. "We can't use the hand scanner to get inside, Zam any ideas?" "Don't worry we'll get you out of there!"
Inside were two other people a young woman who was doing the banging to get out of the room and 4 other people who were so wounded that they were unable to move, and merely sat on life support. “Is someone there, please hurry I’m trapped! Has Arcann come back yet…?”“The wolf guy? Are you working with him.” Asuka then became suspiscious knowing that he had just recently tried to kill them. “I'll take that as a no, please, let me out and I can explain.”Asuka then looks to Zam to get her opinion on the subject. “Zam...what do you think...?" then afterward turns her eyes back to the door "Should we trust them?”Majin Zam WC: 1310

Fighting was such a rush... An intoxicating sensation that surged through the psyche. Like electricity it crawled down one’s spine. It was rather ironic that some people felt alive only when dancing between life and death... Of course Zam didn’t know what any of those difficult words meant. All she knew was that fighting made her feel amazing! Uncontrollable giggling bubbled from the depths of her gut. It drowned all the other sounds around her. Including ones she may have needed to hear... But she didn’t care. From a punch to a throw to a whip kick, her tireless rampage continued. Though she was quickly running out of targets, she didn’t ever want to stop!
Only getting grabbed by the arm finally caught the chaotic creature’s attention. Her fist rose reflexively, nearly decking Asuka right in the face. For a brief moment, the crimson eyes that stared at the martial artist didn’t belong to her naive friend... However, the taps snapped Zam out of her violent haze. Squinting her eyes shut, she meekly rubbed her head. "Nuuuh... The talk is sooo boooring..." Whenever an adult used that tone, it meant the talk wasn’t the fun kind. Like which ice cream flavor was the best. No, it was always some super dull lecture about being careful or responsible, or other stuff like that. Just listening made her want to fall asleep. It was an even worse punishment than being grounded.
Following along, the child peered around at the strange space station. She was pretty disappointed at the apparent lack of shiny people. The people she fought didn’t count. They didn’t shine in gold or silver or other pretty colors, nope. Asuka’s idle question was met with a suggestion from the Majin. "We go home and get ice cream?" Well, she was hoping... But something else demanded their attention soon enough. "Yup yup! What is it?" Curious by nature, she too wanted to know what was making that weird banging noise. She trailed after the martial artist to find... a door! Dun dun duuuunnn! Well, there was probably someone behind the door too. Yup yup, so she surmised.
While Asuka’s conflict was clear, oblivious little Zam didn’t see any kind of dilemma here. She nodded excitedly. "Of course! Adults never lie, right? Right!" Having already made up her mind, she went to push the door open. It was obviously a push door, because there was no handle to pull. Duh. Even she knew that much. Much to her puzzlement though, the door didn’t budge from her nudge. Huh. Maybe it was stuck? Just like the stubborn storage room door back at Grandpa’s place. Hm, then she had to push harder! Cheeks puffing and body tensing, she gave it her all! With a cry of bending metal, the door yielded to the Majin’s ridiculous strength. ...Aaand toppled onto the floor.

As the door crumples down the woman standing behind looked to them with astonishment. As she calmed down her features became more apparent tattoos adorning her face, and horns atop her head, surrounding by a short parted hair and bright yellow eyes a rather menacing looking appearance. To someone who didn't know any better, it seemed rather hard to believe that such a soft-spoken voice could come from such an intimidating looking woman.
“A Majin?” She cried out. She then looked to Asuka noticing her grey gi and white bandages. “Is she a friend of yours?” the horned woman asked, her voice carrying a rather soft tone to it that slightly trembled in fear. “At this point, I could care less, I’m just glad to be out of that infirmary. She then looks around and notices that Arcann wasan't among them. “Hang on, where’s Arcann? Who are you, have we been found out.”
Asuka crosses her arms as she looks to the alien looking creature.
“I'm Asuka are you okay, you seem a little unnerved?” Asuka says as she looks to the creature.
"Judging by your confusion...I take it he hasn’t fully explained everything…I’m second in command Dhalia Throne. I’m one of the other members of the Shine force, I work along side Arcann.”
Asuka skeptical of the situation looks to this woman with a distrustful gaze.
“Please enlighten us? When we arrived on board these strange men in suits back there ambushed us. while Arcann was pursued by our captain.”
“It was all apart of our plan.” the woman says.
“See...a few days ago Arcann was contacted by the white dragon clan and was offered a deal, a lucrative sum of cash in exchange for the captain and free passage through Earth. This place serves as a monitoring station and if we see any suspicious cargo on board any ships passing near the Earths atmosphere were the ones tasked with alerting the local police down below, an eye in the sky if you will.”
Asuka continues to listen in placing a hand on her chin.
“That’s a bit of a long shot just to get a deal with some crooks though, that doesn’t explain how you ended up in here though?”
“I was getting to that, after receiving the call Arcann conferred with us on how to handle it, knowing that saying no would get us into more trouble and knowing how crafty they were we devised a plan and so in a false show of allegiance Arcann feigned loyalty to these thugs and in order to ensure he meant business he made us fake our deaths in order to convince them he had completely turned to their side.”
“And I’m guessing as a final show of loyalty he promised them the captain?”
Dhalia nods.
“However, now that we know that the captain is their prisoner our man inside should be able to help get him out.”
Asuka’s eyes widen.
“Man inside…?”
“We had a defector from the clan on board the ship and we sent him back with some undetectable recon gear, with him on the inside the Captain should be able to escape and catch Kaza by surprise.”
“Well, what do we do in the meantime…?” Asuka asks.
“We wait…Arcann should be back soon.” Dhalia says.
As Dhalia finishes her explanation the sounds of a ship pulling into the dock can be heard. Asuka, Dhalia and Zam all head out in that direction.
As Arcann exits his ship looking out into the void of space, he thinks to himself.
“This plan is a bit convoluted but I suppose they are police officers…are you falling any of them Zam-chan?”
Asuka looks to Zam scratching her head.
“Arcann!” Dhalia calls out.
Arcann sharply turns his head to the sound of the voice that spoke his name.
“Dhalia...ah and you two...I suppose I’ve got some explaining to do.”
“I told them everything Arcann, so what’s our next move…?”
Arcann walks up toward Dhalia.
“Sorry about locking you in the infirmary.”
“You were only looking after me.”
"Not enough if all it took was a Majin pushing down the door, come along you too."
Dhalia looks to both of them and gestures for them to follow along but despite Dhalia’s willingness to trust them, Asuka wasn't too on board with all of this.
“How can we trust you after all of this?” Asuka said. sternly.
“Follow me and I’ll tell you.”
“I want an explanation now!” Asuka demands.
“Don’t you think if I wanted too I would’ve killed the Captain then and there, Captain Kay is a good man dammit, I could never hurt him much less betray him, now sure maybe I should’ve let him in on the plan. But if everything went to perfectly the White dragon might’ve been on to me. I had to make this look as convincing and possible and I promise you if a single hair on the captain's hair is out of place when he gets back after this operation I will personally turn in my badge and take whatever sentence Earth’s government is willing to hand down! Is that enough evidence for you!”
There is a silence a tension even Asuka was normally one to forgive easily but betrayals are something she took especially personal.
“Now come on. I need to check in with our inside man.” He says leading the group along.
Asuka watches him as he walks away, with Dhalia following along.
“C’mon Zam...” Asuka says leading Zam along. At this point knowing Asuka knew next to nothing about Dhalia and is quite untrusting of Arcann, however, his confession did serve to give Asuka reason to slightly win her over but not by very much. "I honestly don't really know what the deal is...can we really trust this guy how do I know he won't backstab us too?"

As the door collapsed, the little Majin snickered mischievously. "Nyeh heh hee~ No match for Zam." Few doors were, to be fair. The sudden shout caught her attention though. Curiously the golden eyes swept over the strange new faces. Only one of them was up and about though. The rest were obviously napping. After Asuka introduced herself, the Majin eagerly followed the example. "Hiya! Zam has a name too! Is Zam!" She was blissfully oblivious to the fear she inspired. As far as she knew, new people always shook when they saw her. Maybe they were just cold?
Much to the ongoing exposition went way over the simple child’s head. Her quizzical gaze drifted between the talking adults. Back... And forth... Closing her eyes, she nodded thoughtfully. Hm, yup yup, she almost understood some of those words. When the martial artist finally asked for an opinion, the creature’s gaze flashed open. She offered a bright smile. "No idea~!" Clearly she didn’t let it bother her though. Always the free-spirited one, she simply went with the flow. If those Dra-something meanies showed up, she would just beat them up and then eat their candies. Good plan, great plan!
Zam’s eyes sparkled when she spotted the familiar, fuzzy face. "Doggy!" Fortunately for Arcann’s spine, there was no time for surprise hugs. Instead, she raised a hand and piped up to correct a huge injustice. "It was a nice door, but Zam pushed super hard!" She knew what was important here. At least she followed the mismatched group without complaining. The last thing the tense situation needed was a bored, magical trickster wandering off.
Though Asuka was torn by the deep conflict, luckily Zam was there to drag her up from the swamp of worries. Her bright, beaming smile didn’t waver. "Is okay! If he stabs me, then I’m gonna punch him back!" Chiming playfully, she threw some wild swings at the air to punctuate her point. "Bang, zoom! Straight to the moon!" Well, with her strength it wasn’t all just exaggeration. As savvy people knew, betraying a Majin was pretty bad for personal health. Words: 360 [Total = 4358] Hanzo Medjikara

As the others went on ahead Asuka smiled at the child-like enthusiasm of her companion, but was hoping that it wouldn't have to come to that. As they head down a hallway, Zam, Asuka and Dhalia all return to the room where the former had been ambushed upon arrival. Arcann stopped upon arriving there and turned back and looked to Dhalia, with a nod of affirmation. The room still littered with the bodies of the wounded White dragon clan soldiers. “What are they up too?” Asuka thinks to herself keeping a close eye on the duo. After finishing up Dhalia heads up a flight of stairs, and begins fiddling around with a console up top appearing to be typing in commands. On the ground below a large monitor turns itself on. “What’s she doing?” Asuka asks to Arcann. “She’s trying to contact our man inside, we had him travel along with a few communications devices, one of them being a small camera embedded within the skin.”
As Dhalia attempts to pull up the feed however all that she receives is static. “Sir, I can’t seem to get a lock on him…”
Arcann looks to her with concern. “Keep trying, what’s going up there...I hope that…”
After a moment of clarity however, the camera turns itself on but rather than seeing their ally Dhalia and Arcann are horrified to see rather than it was the leader of the white dragon instead. “Ah, Arcann...looking for someone.”
The white dragon commander kept a cold look about him. His calm but sinister gaze matching the tone of his words. But despite this Kaza was merely toying with the Commander. Arcann gritted his teeth trying to keep a strong look about him despite being internally shaken by the whole ordeal. Dhalia herself also seems rather paralyzed with fear having a very clear idea of what this potentially means for their inside man. Asuka looked to the man who came on screen and examined the reactions of the other two in order to better gauge the situation at hand. “He must be the leader…”
As the man on screen continues to speak, he pans the camera towards a brutally beaten husk that appears to have had it’s head crushed into a red pulp. “By the kai...”
Asuka remarks looking on in horror her stomach turning at the gruesome image, she had seen a lot of violence but sometimes its the most simplest of acts that can be the most unsettling. And as Dhalia gets the image on her smaller screen her eyes widen as she freezes up her mind unable to process such an image. “We found your inside man and had him swiftly dealt with...but just to be certain we won’t have anymore treachery.”
Kaza then points the camera toward Captain Kay who is forcibly tied down in an electric chair with a leather mask over his face, that only allows his snout to protrude outward. He attempts to struggle free but it’s obvious his efforts are more than futile. Beside him another member of the clan wearing a white suit much like the men that Asuka and Zam had fought earlier stands by a lever along the wall. “Kaza!” Arcann snarls. “Don’t...!” Dhalia, begs. “He’s not in any danger from the chair.”
There is a stillness in the room. “What do you want from us…” Arcann asks. “You’ve already provided it to me.” Kaza raises his hand upward as if to signal something he then balls it into a fist and a series of guns can be heard firing off whose bullets shoot straight into the Captains Abdomen. His body spurts violently as a thick river of blood pours from his body with a small deposit trickle from out of his mouth. Dhalia horrified takes a moment to look away from the screen. “Captain!” she squeals. “Kay!” Arcann shouts. Asuka is stunned by the brutality on display. “Don’t think you’re getting off so easily Arcann…”
Suddenly the feed goes dark and there is a silence in the room. Arcann uncertain as to what to do next. He smashes his arm into the wall beside him. “Aaaargh! The Captiains Dead…” His hand tembles from impact the wall but as the realization of what his plan has cost he begins to breakdown placing a hand on his head in dismay as he runs it across his face “What have I done…” he says with a great deal of remorse. “S-sir...what do you think he meant by…getting off so easy.”
Arcann then looks around and sees the bodies of the reinforcements sent to him by Kaza… “He knew the whole time…”
Suddenly the reinforcements began to glow a violent shade of blue that nearly blinds Asuka as she shields her eyes from their glow. "Kuuhh..."“Get to the teleporter, I can transfer you all out of here.” Dhalia commands. “But Dhalia--” “No arguments sir! You need me, to activate it in order for you to get out anyway! Move!” she orders. Arcann looks out to Zam and Asuka. “C’mon!” Arcann says nodding to the trio. As the trio rush to the teleporter the men on the ground begin to glow an even brighter color. As they arrived in front of the teleporter it began to pulse to life ready to take them whenever they touched it. As Arcann jumped through it his body vanishes with the wind. Asuka and Zam arrive in front of it as well. “Zam...go on ahead.” As Asuka turns her back on Zam she stops and focuses herself placing her hands in front of her face. She channels her hands into her feet and as she opens her eyes after entering into the shouten state. “Advanced Vanishing Technique.” As she focused herself the goons began to explode Asuka then vanished and grabbed Dhalia who didn’t even have time to notice. As the arrived on the teleporter Dhalia seemed confused as her hands and fingers were still in the same position that they were in before she was placed on the teleporter. “Wha--” were the last words to escape Dahlia's lips as she and Asuka were teleported away. MEANWHILE “Arcann...what happened up there?” said the teleporter official as he spots Arcann arrive on Earth. “Listen to me Captain Kay is dead, and our sky monitoring station has been destroyed.” “What…!? How did this happen!?”
Arcann then looked up towards the teleporter operator. “I conducted an undercover operation that ended in failure...Kaza killed the Captain and destroyed our station. And I believe with that in mind the New Vegas dealers will be be able to breach through our defenses undetected, we’ll need to be more vigilant. I performed it without the express permission of Captain Kay and am willing to accept full responsibility for my actions.”
By the time he had finished one of his superior officers had come down a stairwell and placed Arcann in handcuffs. Asuka and Dhalia then warp through the teleporter a few short moments later to witness Arcann's arrest. “at…” Said Dhalia as she finished her last word from earlier. “How did I…?” She then looks to Asuka who holds her wrist. “You saved me.” “Dhalia!” Cries out Commander Arcann., as he stood in handcuffs. “Arcann...you’re under arrest, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and we'll be used against you during your court martial proceedings.” says a member of the force who comes down and holds out a pair of handcuffs. "If you have or had any accomplices during the criminal act for which you are being charged speak now, otherwise you will be held responsible to the fullest extent of our martial law." Arcann remains silent throughout prompting his superior to ask again. “Did you have any accomplices in this situation?” He asks with a sterner tone. Arcann’s eyes then dart over towards Dhalia’s holding on her for a moment. “No…” Dhalia feels a sting in her chest. “Commander…” she knew he was lying, but Arcann was smart and with the surveillance footage from the station destroyed in the explosion, he knew that no one would be able to fully hold Dhalia accountable. "Sargeant Dhalia we'll need you to come with us, you served alongside Arcann so we'll need to bring you in for questioning." Dhalia not one to question a superior nodded her head. "Yes Sir..." she replied. Asuka who was uncertain of what to make of the situation looks around with only her and Zam in the room. “So what do we do now?” Asuka says as Arcann is hauled away. "I understand that it was Captain Kay who brought you here, but without him whatever case the two of you were apart of has effectively ended. If I were you I would return home. We will go through the trouble of notifying his former place of work once we've sorted out all the details."Asuka heartbroken at the Captains Death understood that nothing more could be done. She then grabbed Zam's hand and lead her out of the building. “C’mon Zam…let's go home.”

Following the adults along, the little Majin hummed a playful tune. Her interest waxed and waned while the funny-looking woman played around with the buttons. It was better that way, honestly. The last thing the group needed now was a walking disaster trying to help. She cocked her head at the odd explanation. Camera...? An imaginary bubble formed above her head, picturing mystery man holding the same kind of old camera Grandpa Noudel had shown her. Except it was all teeny tiny. Hm, but how would the mystery mister then press the picture button? Ooh, maybe he had tiny fingers too! Yup, made sense!
Sadly, Zam snapped out of her pondering at the worst possible moment. Her jubilant smile quickly faded away. "Foxy fox..." That didn’t seem like a very nice thing to do... But then why did these adults do it? Did that mean it really was okay? Hm, she guessed that Mister Foxy could still regeni... uh... rega... um... heal. Yup. Just like she did. But still, putting his favorite shirt full of holes was a real jerk move. Plus Grandpa had told her that for Earthlings getting extra holes hurt. A lot.
While others lamented the terrible loss, the childish creature still stared at the weird man on the screen. "Hey Mister..." Her eyes were gleaming with red fury. "You hurt Zam’s friend. So Zam is gonna hurt you." Her trembling hands squeezed into fists. Unstable energy crackled around her frame. "You’re gonna be sorry for everything you did." It got nasty laughter in response. Obviously a hardened criminal wouldn’t take a child seriously. If anything, he mockingly welcomed her to try. To all the taunting and hurtful words, the little creature... smiled. A smile just a touch too wide and sharp. "You’re missing the point." The eerily calm comment held a chilling contrast to her usual playful tone. For that brief moment, the voice belonged to someone... something else.
Fortunately before anyone could start blowing up anything, Asuka dragged Zam away. Obediently the child hopped onto the telethingamajingy. The tingle of vanishing in one place and appearing somewhere else still tickled her curiosity. Why did it feel so familiar? In her pondering, she wandered past the ensuing drama. ...Not that she would’ve had anything intelligent to add anyway. Only Asuka managed to pull the Majin out of her scattered thoughts. "Oh? Yaaay home!" As they got out of the police station, the excited child hurried in front of the martial artist. "Hey, hey Miss Asuka! Can we now go get pizza?" Yes, she was still hungry. Evidently the lesson about bad girls not getting pizza didn’t stick. Or maybe it did, but she was trying her luck anyway. Words: 459 [Total = 4817] Hanzo Medjikara
