Selene gives no facial reaction, but Kuhn bends down and rubs the boy’s head.

Kuhn: What’s your name, kid?

Kid: It’s Fayt.

Kuhn: (smiling) Well, Fayt, can you tell us why you were being chased.

Fayt grows silent as he looks up and sees Selene. Kuhn notices this.

Kuhn: Hey… can you do something about your face or something? It’s scarin’ the kid.

Her eye twitches as you laugh at Kuhn’s words. Selene turns around, the action which calms the kid enough to continue speaking.

Kuhn: Well?

Fayt: I-it was because I tried to enter the main building…

All at once, you all began to pay true attention to his words.

Kuhn: Can you show us where it is?

The child nods before walking away with his hands together. Kuhn stands and smiles at the little boy that was ahead of them.

You: You’re good with children. I wouldn’t expect that from a skirt chasing pervert.

Kuhn: Well, some of the skirts I chase have children.

You chuckle silently as the four of you follow the child down whence he came.


-Inside the Main Building-

“I heard we had some intruders, what do you think we should do?”

“My, my… getting so frightened over a few ants?”

The large man dropped the alcohol which he held in his hand.

“Why are you here?”

“Oh, I’m just here for inspection.”

“They sent a CHILD to inspect me?”

“Oh, don’t get so defensive, old man~!”

While speaking, the older, large man began to fondle the breasts of one of the many women in the room. His comrade, whom was also a woman, seemed unfazed by his perversion. She seemed to have a permanent smile spread across her face.

“I would be careful if I were you. You never know who’s lurking behind the corner to take you down.”

As she left, her smile grew even more, transforming from pseudo-happiness to bloodthirsty. The man, left alone with his women and alcohol, stared at the traditional style Japanese sliding door as it closed. “Just what kind of women is she…?”

-Inner City-

You continue to follow the child through various alleys and walkways, but, eventually, you begin to think you’re being led on. However, Kuhn seems to have faith in the child while Selene does not.

Selene: I’m tired of walking with this kid; I say we find our own way.

Kuhn: He’s the only one of us that knows where it is. If we wander around the city, we’re sure to be caught.

They both look at Saiga, who shrugs. Then they look at you to get rid of the tie.

Sorry about the wait, I had to make breakfast. It's a-comin'.

You: I say we follow the kid.

Both Selene and Kuhn look at you out of surprise, as if they were expecting a completely different answer. Selene, after regaining her composure, shrugged while Kuhn nodded at the child to continue on his way.

You’re led through the city’s labyrinth by the child, seemingly making no progress. No one says a word to one another; eventually, the group arrives in an alleyway. “Hey!” They turn around to see the entrance covered by several guards – they attempt to run, but soon find that the exit is also covered. They’re caught between two buildings with a kid and nowhere to run, or was there?

>>5124354

I suspect so. I may have decided to continue too soon after the DDoS, there's not many people on because of it.

Kuhn, Selene, and You: BREAK THE DOOR!

At once, all 3 of you kicked the door in the left building in. Your blood was pumping madly as the 3 of you high-five one another.

Saiga: What a weird bunch…

Saiga and the child follow you as you dash up the stairs to the next room. You see chairs, couches, several rooms, and a balcony.

Yes! Flee over the roof!

As you hear the soldiers rush into the empty home, you look over to the balcony.

You: We have to run.

Selene, who’d rather fight, nodded begrudgingly and made her way over to the window. She pushed it open, hopping on the ledge and leaping over to the building next to them. Kuhn was the next to go, then Saiga, and then it was your turn. Or the child’s. Your enemies had already begun to climb the stairs.

>>5124798
Thorw the kid, turn to face the guards coming up the stairwell.
"I'll only be a moment." To the others.

You grab the shirt of the child and thrust him across the gap that separated the buildings. Kuhn caught the child and looked in your general direction; you unsheathed your blade to the approaching guards.

You: Get out of here. I’ll catch up later.

Though you only sense it, Kuhn nods and leaves, along with Saiga. You sigh at your luck as you assess the current situation; 6 soldiers, all of which wielding swords – no guns. Their armor seems stronger than the usual gu-

Your thoughts are caught off when you hear a sound before you. Perched on the edge of the balcony is Selene, legs crossed and her bat resting on her shoulders.

Selene: We can’t have you dying here. You haven’t even taken me on a date yet.

You smirk out of sheer amazement. She hops off from where she sat and walks over to the guards, dropping the bat from her shoulders and dragging it along the ground.

>>5124916
I meant more where are long term interests actually CONFLICT with each other. As I am unaware what Saiga's long term interest are, I assumed that they didn't.

You lunge forward and thrust your blade through the head of your enemy, swinging them into their comrade moments later. Before they fell to the ground, Selene crouches down and launches a massive uppercut to the soldier still alive. He flies straight upward into the ceiling and hits it with such force that he becomes lodged inside.

The enemies go on the attack.

Bumping. Wow, there's no one on today.

>>5124994

maybe Selene can jump over them and attack them from the rear whilst their charging?

Combine Adahn's Bear Transformation and Power Strike with Selene's Homerun for Dual Tech GRIZZLY VORTEX.

Selene smashes bear-form Adahn with the Homerun, sending him into a whiring cyclone of rending claws as he spins through the enemy.

One of the soldiers thrust at you, but you twist out of the way, sweep them with your foot, and thrust your blade into the body of his comrades. You then spin your katana in the air before bringing it down to the enemy who had just been reacquainted with the floor.

While your opponents were distracted with you, they were unaware Selene had managed to approach behind them. She grabbed the backs of two and threw them, with great strength, through the walls to the alley below.

Selene: Defend

This. Even if we turn into a bear, it's going to hurt. It would be better if she just threw us.

>>5125597
This, if Selene gets in real trouble (Yeah. Right) then help her.
Otheriwse, cleave on.

“Selene, throw me.”

Selene smirks as if she were waiting for this moment her entire life. Her hands grab onto your arms and she lifts you with relative ease. She starts spinning you as you begin to transform, only letting go when you had finished. You spin wildly as your claws slash about, ripping through their seemingly tissue paper armor with your reinforced natural weapons.

Learned: Grizzly Vortex

You slammed into a wall as your opponents fell into the ground. You feel if you had not been transformed, serious damage would have been done; you decide then and there not to underestimate Selene since your life is now at stake. You slowly exit your transformation, rubbing your head of the dust that had fallen from the ceiling.

“Geez…”

You grin at one another after seeing the damage you had inflicted.

Even better than a high five!

>>5125828

Yeah, great. Let's make Adahn a prancing nancy.

The two of you give a high five to one another at a job well done.

“Now that we’ve taken out the trash, did you mean that thing about the date?”
“(flashes a grin) What do you think?”
“I think you were.”

She says nothing, but you can still see the grin that’s playing on her face.

“Well then, m’lady…”

You whip out your famous mustache and slap in on your face. The edges gleam and sparkle unnaturally.

“Would you do me the pleasure of allowing me to take you out to spend all my money?”

She laughs at the sequence of events, but says nothing for a few seconds. As she’s about to speak, you both hear the clanking of armor.

“Looks like we’ve overstayed our welcome.”

Theme: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=DEf2r4

The two of you leap out of the balcony and into the building of the next room. You notice another balcony on the other end of the room. When you approach it, you can see several clear paths above the rooftops of the city.

ROOFTOP CHASE SCENE, HELL YEAH

Ok, the mustache saves it, but it's still skating a dangerous line.

Path three, with gratuitous parkour.

Path 1. Talk to Selene while going along.

I should mention that the Rooftop Chase is a continuous thing. If you mess up your "flow" for whatever reason, you have to start from the beginning.

Should be fun.

In the rain or in the snow

Got to have the funky flow

The two of you launch from your position and head along the first path you saw. Not far from your position do you see 3 soldiers waiting for your arrival on the roof of a building.

You are 1 (post) away.

>>5126000
Split the first one using the sword as we land and roll.

If both you and Selene plunge into the guards, you'll only take out 2 (1 for each of you), which would mean you'd have to start over - even though you're at the beginning.

>>5126072

Can we turn into a bear and make some sort of earthquake when we land on the roof to make them tumble of it?

>>5126083

If you were in a Bear, your AoE would be increased.

Like if you were to, say, slam in the middle guard and take the other two out with your bear arms while staying in your stride, you may be able to continue on.

But that's just an example. I don't know if that would ACTUALLY work... Hm...

I say. Turn bear and take out two guards and let Selene punch the others teeth out. That should be possible.

OP, I have a semi-unrelated question. Just how long do you think you'll be doing this story? I look at it and can see something that could span for a long time, but also something that could be short and sweet so... yeah, just wondering, is all.

>>5126109
As we land bring our arm around into the one furthest on the right's face , grab and swing him by his head into the other two, pushing all three off the edge, then jump again.

You look around, but see nothing of interest.

While in mid-air, you, once again, enter your bear transformation. You fly toward the startled guards who are unused to having animals fly at them, taking two of them out simultaneously while Selene took out the other with a fist to their face. You exit the transformation as you vault into the air; you feel that you could only transform one more time.

The two of you continue to make your way across the roofs in silence.

Well, that depends on you guys. I mean, I have everything already worked out - the villains, the heroes, the characters, their back-stories, the possible things that could happen in each city, how the story COULD end, etc. etc.

So... yeah... I guess for a couple months, maybe?

I love the fact that a random nonsensical comment about the PC checking if they were a bear turned into a plot point/power.

>>5126264

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I can't tell.

>>5126554

I just didn't expect you all to come back so suddenly since it's slow today. I'll get writing.

You decide to say nothing and instead continue on. The two of you bound from roof to roof, flying in the air with the “wind” blowing in your face. It’s not long until you notice something happening not far ahead of you.

Two men are seen on the top of the roof, loading some kind of cannon-bazooka.

"Any ideas for handling those two with the cannon up ahead?"

Selene’s head turns suddenly, her eyes widening as if she hadn’t noticed the cannon before.

“There’s nothing we can do except survive what it throws at us and attack then.”

You glare at the cannon, unable to shake a worrisome feeling.

That sounds good.
Otherwise look around. Is there any way we can stop moving right up to them in their line of fire? You know, making it harder for them to hit?

Okay, how's this for a plan, fellow anons: When they're almost ready to fire, throw Selene out of the way and use teleport to avoid being hit ourselves. Then we kill them before they can reload.

>>5126721

We can't stop or stray from our course or we start from the beginning, as OP said.

>>5126611
"Selene, Throw me towards the cannon! It's the only way I'll reach it in time."

>>5126753

I believe we have a winner. This.

How much faster would we be with a throw/teleport combo than with a run/teleport combo, really?

>>5126780

Selene's strength exceeds our running strength so it'd be significantly faster.

>>5126809
Not to argue about logic in an inappropriate setting, but just because a throw achieves a higher peak speed initially doesn't mean that it will cross the entire distance faster- there's no continued energy input as with running helping to maintain a high velocity. We'd be better off separating so that they have to aim for one of us individually and having that person try to dodge- if we think it necessary, we could use teleport or some other ability to get closer and be the one to draw fire.

...or instead of thinking about it, we could just get thrown because it's cool and we apparently have a fetish for being tossed about by violent and exceedingly strong women, so it therefore works. That's fine too.

I'm writing, in case you were wondering.

The two of you, acting on a single wavelength separate from one another. The cannon, unsure of who to fire at, suddenly turn in your direction the moment you step on the roof of a building. The machine fires and flames spouted from the barrel of the cannon; for a moment, everything slowed down and became white. You sheathed your blade in the eerie silence and placed it at your hip. You then flipped it in a circle until the hilt of the katana faced the sky. In the eeriness, you could clearly see the large projectile being fired at you. Your eyes grew dark until it grew close – they opened suddenly, and your pupils reflected that of whiteness.

“Supernova Style: The power to cut steel – Lion’s Song.”

In real time, all of this happened in a single moment. You vanished from your position and the massive shell exploded around where you once stood. The soldiers, awestricken at what they just witnessed, stood motionless, unaware that you had already arrived to claim their lives. Before they knew it, they could no longer breathe and their cannon was dismantled.

Selene stopped at the building above you, seemingly out of breath as she looked down at your back. “For a moment,” she began to think. “I felt really uneasy.” You looked up at her, the whiteness vanishing as if it never existed. “Not bad, eh?” You smile at her before hopping on the roof and standing next to her.

“Hey, don’t worry about me. Like you said, it’d make no sense dying before our date.”

Selene smirks at your comment just as you were taking a look around. However… moments later, you see her kneel in pain, blood pouring out from a wound in her side. She groans with exhaustion in her eyes as you’re taken by the unfamiliar and unexpected sight; she had been shot.

Plus we can always light step out from cover if it comes to it.

>>5127355

The sniper is aminig at you, he's not hiding, he put a bait for you to pick up, which is Selene.

We're on a roof, right?

If so, attempt to break into the building below you. Use the last bear transformation and prepare a Power Strike.

>>5127302
This.

>>5127355
Now we're thinking with Portals.

You drop to the roof immediately, lying down against the building, you searched the area. With your hand outstretched, you grabbed Selene’s body and pulled her toward you. She gripped her wound in pain and you could hear her muffled groans, which bothered you.

“Sir, I don’t have a clear shot anymore. “
“I see. Well, evacuate back to the main base and blow the charges.”

The soldiers stationed from far away took their equipment. Soon, the building was empty save for an unconscious man. His mouth was tapped and his weapon had been tossed aside and forgotten. The cigarette he was usually seen donning in his mouth was still burning silently on the ground next to him. He looked severely beaten up, bruises on his face and his nose bleeding.

You begin to wrap Selene’s wound with a piece of your shirt, trying to stop the bleeding by making it clot from the pressure. However, it seemed that no matter what you did, nothing seemed to remedy the situation.

>>5127543

Yes, she is, but she has no battlefield experience. She has the natural talent, sure, but she's been pretty sheltered - I doubt she's even been in a real fight that wasn't one-sided aside from our first match.

>>5127540
This is what you said:
>>But the mustache has germs, which would infect the wound.
This is what I heard:
>>whine whine whine whine whine

Seriously, after everything that's gone down in this quest so far, you think something like germs is going to stop us? No! Because we're going to KICK REASON TO THE CURB AND GO BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE!

>>5127522
Make or a hospital then, we owe her more than anyone else.

The "leader" mentioned charges. That means SOMETHING is about to explode. Geezus, what do we do?

>>5127543

Hell, she can throw a man at high speeds!

The kiss-heal combo. Works in every JRPG.

>>5127464

Your cover's already blown, isn't it? Look for a hospital and drop her off or something.

Or just lay here there while she doesn't die and we go kill shit.

>>5127588
Don't forget the 'stache! It with our radiant manliness should heal her! xD

>>5127582
Doesn't mean she won't bleed out like anyone else.
Light step, the new ability if it helps and hospital. Devil be to the risks, the woman we love id dying.

>>5127588

For that matter, the tsundre girl never dies (unless it's Evangelion, but EVERYBODY dies there). She'll be fine.

>>5127597

Sure, they know we're a threat, but they don't know WHO we are, which I think that OP was saying. Or I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out the best course of action.

>>5127608

Let's test this theory.

>>5127622
(Excellent. He's calling my bluff. Soon, Karen will be ours!)

>>5127608
>>5127622
Lets not, say it never came up and get her to the damn hospital.

I vote for healing by sheer manliness.

Plus we'll learn a new move. No better time than now!

HOSPITAL TIME

You hold Selene in your arms as you scour the rooftops for a hospital. You can hear her breathing heavily, which begins to worry you; she grips your shirt for, seemingly, emotional relief. You forget Selene is not used to life on the battlefield; any wound is going to hurt the first time around. You attempt to take your mind off the subject at hand and demand yourself to find her a hospital.
You run up and down the labyrinth that is the alleyway system, but to no avail. You can see she has grown considerably paler than she was on the roof.

You’re running out of options.

[ ] Other

>>5127679

Damn it. Go into a house, or shop, or whatever and find their first aid kit. We should know how to patch up wounds, I believe.

See if we can patch up the wound so she doesn't bleed out at least.

"Come on Selene, you can't die, you'll be fine, come on"
Reassure her constantly, look for medical supplies anywhere, use every technique we have to speed things up.

>>5127679
[X] Other: MOUSTACHE + MANLINESS + TWU LUV

>>5127692

This.

Why are we moving her? Isn't that the last thing you want to do?

>>5127733
This, patch her up ASAP.

>>5127735

We have no other choice. There's no way to bring anything to her so we have to bring her to it.

This incident made me realize that we are in desperate need of a medic or doctor of some sort in our group. We can't keep showing up to hospitals and, eventually, that won't even be an option anymore when we're shittin' shit up.

>>5127745
That, and pray. Pray hard to anyone who'll listen for her to be alright. Offer goats if need be. As many as they want.

Still codling Selene in your arms, you break through the door of the nearest building, climbing the stairs with unnatural quickness. The moment you see a bed, you place her on it and assess the situation in silence.

Other, check if anybody's alive.

Other: Check ALL rooms as fast as we possibly can.

If she dies I am gonna FFFFFFFF

>>5127806
Bathroom then Kitchen, one is bound to have a medicine cabinet. Check the others if need be.

>>5127825

House is empty, if that's what you mean.

>>5127840

Oh.

Check the bathroom, then the kitchen, then upstairs and then downstairs then.

>>5127836

Changing my "check all rooms" vote to this, it's more logical.

...Call an ambulance, maybe?

[ ] Check bathroom for kit

That's where most of the people I know keep first aid kits.

>>5127857

Have you been reading the story?

Or are you new here?

>>5127855
Check the bathroom and the Kitchen first though as they're the most likely to have a first aid kit in them.
Check the otehrs afterwards.

>>5127872

And that is somehow worse than going to a hospital, which was suggested? A paramedic could patch her up, and they aren't exactly a threat.

>>5127894

I didn't vote going to a hospital, but I see your point.

You search the bathroom for a first aid kit, which you find successfully – saving you much needed time. You open it and inspect its contents as you make your way over to the bleeding woman.

[ ] Gauze
[ ] Alcohol
[ ] Tape
[ ] Adhesive Strip (Band-Aid)
[ ] Stitch and needle

[ ] What do you use first?

Alcohol, duh.

>>5127923
[3 ] Gauze
[1 ] Alcohol
[ ] Tape
[ ] Adhesive Strip (Band-Aid)
[ 2] Stitch and needle

>>5127933

If he knows how to use it, if not, skip the stitch and needle.

>>5127950

He has used it in the past, but his medical experience could or could not be irrelevant due to lost memories.

Only one way to find out.

None. Get a knife. Alcohol on your hands, knife and wound. Pull the bullet out.
Use alcohol on needle and close wound.

>>5127972

This guy. I like him. I agree.

>>5127972

What he said.

>>5127972
I really hope I did not just kill her, because if he does it wrong she dies. No surgeon could help her then.

>>5127982
Thirding.

>>5128011
THEN DON'T DO IT. Suggest something else.

>>5128024

Everything else gives us maybe a hour and what I suggested first will let her fight on, if it is done right.

You place the kit next to the bed before going downstairs. With each step you take, you feel more and more comfortable with what you’re about to do; you take a small knife out of the drawer and twirl it for a moment before rushing back upstairs. You grab the black bottle out of the kit, proceeding to open it and pour its contents on your hands and the knife. You strip Selene of her upper layer of clothing to open access to the wound, pouring alcohol on it as well.

You open the wound a little more and ease the knife into it until you feel the bullet; with precision, you slowly remove the bullet and drop it to the floor, sewing her up like clockwork. You hadn’t realized it, but you had been sweating during your operation. After you finish, you place gauze against her wound, proceeding to wrap much of the tape around it until you feel that it should hold the bandage in place.

You sigh to yourself. This incident makes you realize that you’re going to need a medic to add to your ragtag group sooner or later – eventually, you’re going to lose your access to hospitals and the like. You drop to the ground in a stressed heap, you wonder if you had just signed her death warrant. When you look behind you, you see she’s still breathing, but only time will tell, I suppose.

[x] Wait in the room until she wakes

Though I am worried about who that unconscious guy was.

>>5128077

20 dollars says it's Kuhn.

>>5128059

Wait in the room, we don't know if something's chasing us.

>>5128089
God I fucking hope not.

[ ] Wait in the room until she wakes

We can't leave her alone and unconscious, and going out will be much too likely to draw attention.

That said, neither do we have all day here. If it takes hours and there's no indication that anyone knows where we are, it's time to leave a note and go it alone.

You lean against the bed with your legs outstretched. Your eyelids become heavy but you’re only able to fight it off for a few moments before succumbing to its tantric nature. It’s not long after, or so you think, until you hear a voice.

“Adahn…”
“What is it?”

You respond with your eyes closed, as if you were still asleep.

“Where are you?”
“Right here next to you.”
“Oh…”

You hear silence and you stand up to look over her person in case something had happened. She simply looks at you in silence, and you do the same. You remember that she’s exposed and may be cold; you grab the blankets edge that had been pushed to the end of the bed and pull it up over her, making sure to do it carefully to not agitate the wound. As you near her face, she touches yours with her hand.

[ ] Other

>>5128135

The description matches him perfectly though. I'm willing to bet it's Kuhn.

Ask how she is feeling.

>>5128191
"I was worried about your wound for a while. You feeling okay?"

>>5128191

hold her hand, ask if she's okay

>>5128191
Ask her how she feels & tell her we're glad she's come around.

“I was wondering how you were feeling,” you say as you touch her hand. She gives a small grin, though she doesn’t say anything – though you don’t need her to as you can already guess. By looking at her, you can tell something's a little different in her eyes.

I agree with this, except the kiss part. Go for the lips! It's a do or die situation.

>>5128336
>>5128336

You'd be taking advantage of a woman in a situation where she's heavily depending on you.

What's there to lose?

>>5128336

This is maybe a good idea. I'm backing it.

>>5128347

Well, she's attracted to us and we're attracted to her.

We're going on a date eventually.

How about we lean in for a kiss on the forehead and if she leans in as well, we go for the lips?

>>5128370

Correction. Change forehead to cheek.

>>5128274

This, minus the kiss.

I'm going to need a little more consensus before I start writing.

>>5128370

What this guy said.

>>5128494

Just a little peck on the lips, dude. That's all.

You smile at her and lean in to kiss her on the cheek and let her rest. However, her action surprises you. With her hand on your cheek, she guides your face – and your lips – to hers. The two of you share a deep kiss that seems like it lasts forever; your bond becomes interrupted as an explosion echoes in the background. You stare at her momentarily when you pull away; her eyes are closed and her lips are still puckered as if she were expecting it to last longer.

You smile, though she does not see. “Looks like it’s time to go.” She opens her eyes as if she had just woken out of a trance. She gives a sigh before sitting up on the bed and grabbing her jacket off of the table near you. You don’t notice her putting it on until you arrived back in the room with your katana. You could ask her to stay, but you know she wouldn’t and would do what she wanted regardless; her level endurance seems maddening to you.

The both of you look out the window toward the burning building – your current destination – watching the flames flicker in the artificial darkness before taking off and onward.


And so ends the 7th part. I will be returning the same time as I always do tomorrow (10 AM EST). As this thread fades away into the night, I will answer any questions.

Was that unconscious guy Kuhn?

FUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEAR

But wait, what about Kuhn? DAMN IT, WE HAVE TO SAVE KUHN

>>5128591

I... honestly can't tell you that.

By the way, if you're looking to get a little extra information on the characters and some other tidbits, I recommend download the character chart. So... yeah.

>>5128594

He is probably death already.

>>5128610

Unconscious =/= dead

Kuhn is a bro, we always save our bros. Don't rock the boat man.

>>5128621
I just say: bomb.

>>5128647

That bomb could have been anywhere, for any reason. He could have awoken and fled. There's many possibilities.

And I doubt OP would kill Kuhn off-screen, especially in this case where we are actually not related and have made no decisions to what happened to him. DON'T ROCK THE BOAT, MAN.

>>5128663

But I like to! It bobs so nice!

>>5128663

God damn it. Now I'm too curious/worried about Kuhn to enjoy what just happened with Selene - aside from her getting injured.

Good show, OP. Hope to see you tomorrow, if I have the time.

I thank you all for reading and hope to see you tomorrow. I must go as I am tired and must sleep, or eat before I sleep. You get the gist. Smell ya later.
