[color=#008b45][H2]ASAHI GOROSHI[/H2][/color] & [h3][color=orange]Hibiki Toho[/color][/h3] [/center]

[color=00a651]”It’s Asahi.”[/color] The young man mentioned as the girl got up. He put his bandages away, not mentioning the girl’s comment about bandaging her chest. He had no problems doing a lil patch job here and now… But those perverted thoughts aside, Asahi felt like he was starting to become a third wheel when another girl arrived. The blondie seemed to know her and, while Asahi never minded being in the company of a bunch of girls, right now he didn’t really feel like trying to act like a playboy. [i][color=00a651]”Huntress huh? How weird.”[/color][/i]

Asahi was just going to turn and leave now that he had Train and gave Hibiki her bag, but Train seemed to be struggling quite a lot. [color=00a651]”Alright alright. I just don’t want you running off.”[/color] Asahi let his cat go, but instead of darting off to chase some shadow, it instead when straight to Hibiki. Asahi wasn’t sure what to make of it, but he did smirk. [color=00a651]”Well well.”[/color]

Hibiki looked through her bag for her first aid kit despite Itsuko’s protest. Hibiki didn’t care if it was already broken, if anything it was all the more reason Itsuko needed to be more careful. Hibiki didn’t even know Itsuko was in such pain. As she was about to take her first aid kit out Train leapt into her aims. [color=orange]”Train, bad kitty! Not right now!”[/color] Hibiki tried to get Train off but he seemed very clingy. She looked over to Asahi since this was technically his cat. [color=orange]”Can you hold onto him for now?”[/color]

Asahi got the cat, who was still struggling to get out of Asahi’s grip. While he held onto Train he looked between Hibiki, Itsuko, and Huntress. It was very strange, seeing this trio of girls together. He felt like he walked into something that probably didn’t need to involve him. There was still the matter of Train however. Asahi held his cat out, who was still struggling, and spoke sternly to him. [color=00a651]”Stay put. Be a good boy and you’ll get what you want.”[/color] Asahi’s normally jovial face took a turn for the serious. Maybe Train understood this, maybe he was just tired, but when Asahi set him down he simply sat there.

[color=00a651]”Uh… Toho-san, I know this might be a bit awkward to ask right now, but would you like to keep Train?”[/color]

Because she was so busy getting the bandages and other supplies for Itsuko, Hibiki wasn’t paying attention at first, but then she looked to Asahi when she asked her to keep Train. Seeing that Itsuko was mostly fine Hibiki put her things away, giving Asahi her attention. She had to think about what he asked her since while she always wanted a pet, she didn’t know if she could actually keep him. [color=orange]”I… Certainly don’t mind… But why? Isn’t he your cat?”[/color]

Shrugging his shoulders Asahi turned towards Train. [color=00a651]”Well, I think this is what Train wants.Cats can never really stay in one place. I was happy to have him while I could, but I think he wants to stay with you for now. I won’t hold him back, though he’s always welcomed to come back to me whenever. Plus…”[/color] Looking over at Train, the little black cat was staring right at him. He was being oddly obedient for once. 

[color=00a651]”Well… Things started to happen. It’s complicated, but the short and simple is that stuff is kinda getting dangerous around my place, so I want to keep Train away from that. I was thinking of leaving him at a shelter or maybe a friend’s house, but it looks like Train already likes you. This way this makes up both happy. It’s not a problem, is it?”[/color]

A lot of things happened today, so Hibiki was a bit dizzy. First she got into a “Fight” at school, she met Itsuko here and became friends with her, and now Asahi was giving Train to her. Either today was a very good day, or about to get a whole lot worse. Either way, Hibiki stood up and tried to deal with one thing at a time. First, Train. [color=orange]”Y-yeah! I’ll take care of him! I mean… My parents never let me have pets, and the housekeeper might try to get rid of him… But I’ll watch over him. And um… Thank you. I hope you figure out your problems soon.”[/color]

Smiling, Asahi looked at Train, as if giving him the signal to go ahead and leap back into Hibiki’s arms. Just as he did he received a message from someone called “Shiro”. Apparently this kid was actually Paper Moon. Why the kid messaged him using his real name, Asahi didn’t know, but apparently he was at the mall and wanted back up for a meeting with a couple of young thugs. They knew he was a Sweeper and wanted to talk to him, which made alarms go off in Asahi’s head. Last time someone was dumb enough to oust himself as a real life Sweepers, the people Asahi had attacked went after the kid. He’s never heard from him since. 

To make matters worse, one of his lackies in Deep Ground just received word that they were being attacked by another Outlaw Ebony Stryker, and this time it wasn’t Eclipse Princess. [color=00a651]”Shit…”[/color] Asahi turned to leave. As he walked away he said his farewells. [color=00a651]”Something’s come up. Sorry to cut this short, but good bye! Please take care of Train for me!”[/color] First, Asahi was going to find Shiro and make sure he was going to be okay. If he was alright, then he’ll see about getting him and Phantom, who was also in the message, and deal with things in Deep Ground. So Asahi ran towards the Mall’s game center as fast as he could. He… Isn’t very fast.

   > [color=#cd2626]Problem Child: I can provide you information. As for EXP, I cannot provide you that much on short notice. It would be suspicious to simply pull that much EXP out of thin air as well. However I can offer you something far greater.[/color]

As a down payment Retsu sent Dealer’s Choice some bulky files containing files and data she may like. Retsu preferred to pay for services regarding Deep Ground without using Deep Ground assets. It kept her profile clean. And besides that, it was much easier for Retsu to obtain than EXP. Not that EXP was hard to gain, both legitimately and illegally, but it had it’s own share of complications. Either way Retsu continued after her files had been sent over.

   > [color=#cd2626]Problem Child: Right now he is trying to build up forces at the Black City. He has vehicles and cannon fodder. He intends to roam the zones to hunt “Outlaws”, however his intentions is conquest. I’d prefer if you’ve kept the fighting outside of the Black City itself, since a war with the guilds is the exact opposite of what I want. Fortunately, he’s made a powerful enemy in the form of Eclipse Princess. With any luck she may be also willing to deal with him. However she is also an Ebony Stryker, so try your best not to incite much more in-fighting.[/color]

Sending her message to Dealer’s Choice, Retsu noticed that Yoshino was gathering a bit of a crowd with her dancing. Not one to be shown up, Retsu left her posse and walked over to Yoshino. Instead of being Yoshino’s quite confident or assistant, she stepped onto the dancefloor as a challenger. As she approached a new song started, something with a bit more… [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbQgXeY_zi4]Swing[/url].

The Warlock had his spell ready in his hand. He was going to hit the lone rogue with the spell when out of the corner of his eye he spotted the cat being flung at him once more. He had to make a choice: kill the caster and get his people out of here, or fight the cat and have to spend another few rounds charging up? He couldn’t cast another spell for a few more rounds if he wasted it now, but if he didn’t he may end up out of range to hit the lone rogue or worse, dead. “Shit!”

With no other choice, the warlock turned his attention to Christopher and fired his spell at him. “I cast…. FIST!” The warlock threw a punch at Christopher, and from his first emerged a large ethereal hand. It rocketed at Christopher, at least ten-times it size, and if Christopher dodged or couldn’t stop the fist, it would be on the path to Arkadian. Fortunately the first was slow; an immobile target like the lone rogue might but unable to defend herself but Christopher at least had some speed on his side.
Meanwhile the mage fighting Hellflames shouted at him. “Why are you stopping us? We’re both Ebony Strykers! That rogue is an outlaw that needs to be put down, and now she’s trying to run away from her crimes!” The warlock grew more desperate and started conjuring more portals to attack Hellflame with, and even fired off a few magical blasts himself. They weren’t nearly as effective as his tentacles were, but anything to keep Hellflame away. The mage tried to move away, but his broom wasn’t nearly as fast as Hellflame’s wings.

As Shiro entered the arcade a loud [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8-KXVfo-uY]song[/url] blared from the DDR corner. On it a bunch of asians were going ham on the dance pad, racking up combo’s and perfects like they would need or it die. But that was just standard practice for asian gamers. On the dancepad itself was the same fellow who called out to Shiro, thus he wouldn’t be able to spot Shiro while he was gaming. His dog on the other hand did.

The large pooch ran over to Shiro, nearly knocking him to the floor. Though instead of doing that what it did was get behind Shiro to ensure he couldn’t run away, as if ushering him towards the group. It nipped at his heel, pushed against his body, sometimes even bumping to his knees if Shiro even looked like he was going to turn away. No one else seemed to notice as everyone was too busy waiting for the song to end so they could play.

    > Rocket Goon: WTF why is there another Styker fighting us?
    > Shade Charlatan: What are you talking about
    > Rocket Goon: Abysswalker just killed me.
    > Rocket Goon: But she’s in our guild. Wtf I’m not even high level.
    > Dosh King: Where were you?
    > Rocket Goon: I was watching the vehicles at the guild hall.
    > Velveteen Rabbit: That’s why. You’re a Sweeper.
    > Rocket Goon: so?
    > Bubonic Touch: Sweepers need to get the fuck out of the Ebony Strykers. You’re making us look bad.
    > Lunatic Renegade: If the Sweepers left you wouldn’t even be a guild. You’d literalyl  have less than thirty people.
> Rocket Lancer: Oh god you’re not friends with Eris are you? Just because she has problems with the Sweepers doesn’t mean we’re all bad.
> White Power: You guys are literally cancer.
> White Power: None of this shit would have happened if you guys were a bunch of raging dick heads.
> Lunatic Renegade: Says the guy called [i]White Power[/i].
> Dosh King: You guys need to get your shit together.
> Shade Charlatan: Sweepers should have just gone back to being a non-guild. Now every faggot and 13 year old wants to be a Sweeper.
> Rocket Goon: Fuck you guys, if the Sweeper’s where here you would have gotten your ass beat by those Outlaws. Hell we probably would have taken over anyways.
    > Aryan Chariot: Talk a lot of shit for someone who just got their ass wrecked.
    > White Power: 1v1 noob we’ll see how great the Sweepers are.
    > Fulminant Rage: Motherfuckers do you even realize what the Sweepers can really do? You fucks can barely get a raid going. The Sweepers made a guild. You can’t even organize your socks.
    > Lupus Lupa: This is just the work of one angry bitch who has too much power in her hands. IT’s people like her why the Sweepers have to be around. Otherwise it’d just be a very power struggle between all the high level players.
    > Hanging Tree: I hate the new patches. The game used to be balanced but now the only thing that matters isn’t skill but who has the most OP abilities and equipment. 
    > Baron Nasher: Get gud skrub.
    > Walking Guillotine: Fuck y’all, Sweeper’s go home.
    > Blueberry Muffin: Ima getcha.
    > Crimson Hellhound: Hey guys where’s Abysswalker?

An argument flared in the Guild’s open forum as Stryker’s took to the streets. What started as an individual incident has now spiraled out of control. Players started activating Outlaw Declarations and were hunting each other down with a single purpose: Getting rid of each other. Sweepers formed parties and started ganking and ambushing lone players. Loyalist to the Ebony Strykers hunted down Sweepers who were caught alone. Players from both sides activated their Outlaw Declarations, making it nearly impossible to tell who was who. And while most limited their attacks to each other, a few opportunistic players stole Black Guild vehicles and used them against eachother.

Abysswalker and Eclipse Princess would find themselves right in the middle of that conflict as two opposing groups found each other and opened fire, with Abysswalker and Eclipse Princess caught in the crossfire. Because they both were outlaws and unaffiliated with the parties, it didn’t matter if it was an Ebony Stryker or a Sweeper who shot at them; everyone was free game. Bullets, magical missiles, Avatar Abilities, and much more were being used as the Black City started going to war with each other. Not even the sanctuary was safe has parties from both side camped the entrance and killed everyone that didn’t immediately identify themselves as an ally, even as they fought amongst eachother.

All the while, Weiss Reisen watched through his lone scout in the city. He didn’t care for the civil war, though he was pleasantly surprised. He shot a message over to Abysswalker to remind her of her job.
