Kame House
Angela's plane was the last to arrive. From the sky above, she could make out the tiny island below. The small bit of land in the ocean seemed oddly packed, with what looked like twenty people or so.
"There it is! Kame house!" The happy pilot called out over his shoulder. The small airplane that they rode in was top of the line with a quiet engine. The little man was simply a loud, happy person. He frequently tried to make conversation with Angela on their 2 hour flight from the main land. Half the time, he was talking to himself out loud. Angela could hardly tell.
"God, I love my job."Their water landing was relatively smooth, considering the ocean's waves. When the plane reached shore, the pilot smiled.
"Welp, this is it! I got to get back to the city. Got a hot date tonight! Have fun, and don't die!"Among the crowd of people on the shore, Angela saw Bakuto. He looked right at home among the crowd of ripped men. There were only three other women in the crowd, two of whom looked as masculine as the men around them. The only one around Angela's size was a girl, around maybe 20, who also shared her blonde hair. She visibly perked up as she noticed Angela.
Before Bakuto had a chance to greet Angela, the front door to the small house opened, and old man stepped out. He was small, smaller than anyone else in attendance, even Angela and the blonde girl. He supported his weight with a cane and walked with a hobble.
"Why hello, everyone." He said feebly.
"My my, what a strong bunch of recruits we have-" Mid sentence, the old man slipped, dropped his walking cane, and started to fall. One of the large men, standing closest to him, dashed forward and caught him before he hit the ground.
"Are you OK, sir?" He asked respectfully.
The old man smiled widely up at his savior. With the same hand he was holding the cane with, he reached up to grab onto the large man's forearm, for support it seemed. As he did this, the blonde girl, who now stood between Angela and Bakuto, rolled her eyes, then dropped her gaze to the ground in front of her, shaking her head in disappointment.
It happened in the blink of any eye. The large man was tossed by the forearm. He started on one side of the elderly trickster and ended up face down in the sand on the other, feet dangling in the air. The large man managed not to get knocked out, but recovered very slowly.
"Rule number one! Never underestimate the opponent!" He then started laughing, now full of energy. He then kicked up his staff, grabbed it, and planted it into the sand. Then he lifted both of his legs off the ground, crossing them in a seated position, effortlessly maintaining perfect balance with only his staff to support himself.
"Let me tell you all a story. The story of this house and two young children that would grow up to save the world... many times."
