Magic number 7! Longest chapter I've written so far...
--
Two knights were conversing by a tree in Prontera forest, each of them were standing next to their Peco Pecos, holding the reins to keep them from running away.
"Have you heard? The bounty on the four killers just doubled last week! They're now worth a million each!" one knight said.
"Really, what for?" asked the other, "They only killed one guy; and he wasn't even important..."
"I'm not sure if it's true, but rumor has it, there's another group of killers who've killed over twenty people. The government must have suspected them to be connected to the four, somehow..."
"Hmmm... it's not impossible..."
CHAPTER 7: YOU FOUR LOOK FAMILIAR
Suddenly, four young ones ran right in front of the knights and out of sight.
The knights just stared.
"Weren't those..."
One knight pulled out a wanted poster he kept in his bag. He observed the faces on the poster and compared the pictures to the ones who just passed them.
"Hmm... Mm-hmm... Hmm...
"Hmm? Hmm... They kinda look the same..."
(BONG!) he got hit by the other knight in the back of the head. It really hurt his cos knights wore metal gloves.
"You idiot! It is them! Let's go after them!"
The mounted their Pecos and chase the four criminals. The knights were too late; Yoshiro, Senzo, Suzuka and Haru were already too far ahead; but that didn't stop the knights who just can't let four million pass.
The knights came up to a crossroad.
"Umm..." one knight was trying to decide which way to go, "This way!" They turn right.
Unfortunately for the knights, the four of them went straight ahead.
"Hahaha!" Yoshiro laughed as he and his friends ran.
"Where... (Pant) are we heading? (Pant)" Haru asked.
"Just keep running! (Pant, pant)" Yoshiro answered.
They kept running, but Yoshiro tripped over a Poring and his glasses fell off his face.
"Poring!" the Poring called, after seeing the fallen spectacles on the grass.
The Poring bounced towards Yoshiro's glasses and gleefully going "Poring! Poring!"
"No!" said Yoshiro as he watched the Poring which was about to swallow his specs.
(Gulp!)
The Poring swallowed Yoshiro's glasses.
"Oh you little...! (BANG!)" Yoshiro shot the Poring. The Poring popped and dropped his glasses.
Yoshiro kneeled down and picks up his glasses when he heard a little girl's voice call, "Pinky? Pinky, where are you?"
Yoshiro froze in shock. He had just killed someone's pet! What was he going to do? Would he be reported? Would the girl tell her parents? Would the bounty on his head grow larger?
Thinking fast, he saws another poring and picked it up (They all looked the same anyway). As soon as he saw the girl walk up to him, he ran over to her and handed her the replacement Poring.
"Here's Pinky, bye!" He said
He quickly and ran off with his friends.
"Smooth move, Spex." said Senzo as he ran.
"Oh, shut up and run, you mattress invader!" retorted Yoshiro.
"You know, I have a water bottle in my backpack," Senzo threateningly reminded him; bottles were Senzo's new weapon against Yoshiro.
They kept running until they saw a white bridge. They cross the bridge and end up in a small town with small buildings; it was surrounded by water.
"Izlude!" said Suzuka, who was very fascinated by the sights.
"Lots of swordsmen in here... and lots of dealers... and lots of blacksmiths... lady blacksmiths..." Senzo observed. He started ogling the very revealingly dressed lady blacksmiths.
"Whoa, you're not kidding!" said Yoshiro, who ogled the blacksmiths as well.
Suzuka growled at Senzo and Yoshiro for being such pervs.
"I wish I could see them..." Haru said mournfully.
They walk over to the blacksmiths to stock up on potions, hoping that they haven't seen the wanted posters.
Senzo tried to charm one of them...
"Excuse me, miss, but do you sell any potions for the eyes?" asked Senzo.
"I have green potions. They cure blindness..." replied the blacksmith.
"No, not for blindness... Something else is wrong with my eyes... I can't take them off you."
The blacksmith blushed, but Suzuka was pissed.
Suzuka hits Senzo on the back off the head and shouts, "YOU NO-GOOD WOMAN-OBSESSED JERK!"
"Ooh... Somebody's jealous..." Yoshiro said with a grin.
Senzo rubs the back of his head and says to the blacksmith, "One red, please." He seemingly ignores Yoshiro.
"Anything for you, you charmer," said the blacksmith. She handed him a bottle of red potion.
Senzo drained the potion but still held on to its bottle. He looked at Yoshiro with fiery eyes and walked towards him.
Yoshiro, realizing he was in danger, started to back away from Senzo.
"Now, Senz... You're not serious about that, right? It was just a joke, right...? (nervous laughter)" Yoshiro was pretty scared now.
Senzo hits Yoshiro on the forehead, flooring him. He starts beating Yoshiro with a bottle again.
"SENZ! (BASH!) STOP! (BASH!) PLEASE! (BASH) THAT'S MADE OF GLASS! (BASH!) GLASS! (BASH! BASH! BASH!)"
Yoshiro was groaning on the ground, with huge lumps forming on his head and a bloody face. It was a miracle he was still alive.
Yoshiro sat up and said to the blacksmith, "Five... Whites..."
The blacksmith handed him the white potions, looking pretty freaked out after seeing the mess that was once Yoshiro's face.
Yoshiro drank all of the bottles in huge gulps and returned to normal. He started chuckling at Senzo, who was still pissed at him.
Yoshiro stands up and says "Thank you, ma'am" to the blacksmith and walks off with the other three.
They looked to their left and saw something that made them have to catch their breath.
"An airship!" Yoshiro, Senzo and Suzuka chorused. Haru was surprised when he heard them say it.
Suddenly, they heard the voice of the blacksmith from earlier shout, "Hey! Those guys didn't pay me!"
In panic, they ran to the airship but are stopped by a man in front of the ramp.
"900z per head" said the ticket man.
They dug through their pockets and came up with all the zeny coins they could and handed them to the ticket man.
"Here you go, enjoy your-"
Before the ticket man finished talking, the four already grabbed their tickets and ran into the airship.
The airship was full of people. Some looked pretty shady, especially this group of three ninjas hanging out in a corner.
"Ready for takeoff!" announced the captain.
The ramp started to rise up. Suddenly...
"Hey! You punks paid in chocolate coins!" shouted the ticket man, but too late; the ramp already rose up and closed.
They four give a sigh of relief and took their seats, facing the ninjas. The female ninja in the middle, who was most likely their leader, looked at them.
"You four look familiar..." she said.
