Ninja Academy Part 11: Mysterious Sect

After the violent aftermath of Mizuki's invasion, a huge cleanup crew was called to do repairs. Most of her victims couldn't exactly remember how they were killed but they did remember seeing Mizuki before she blacked them out. KTV owner, Saisyu Kusanagi, is very pissed about the damages and he really wants to vent his anger out on someone. And that someone is none other than his own son. It's hell to pay, poster boy, and this time he didn't even did shit to piss Saishu off.

Saisyu: I blame you for all of this, son. I just do. I put millions into this show and I don't want to spend a yen more for it. And what do you think how much more money I'll spend with the damages? Shit, this isn't going to be pretty.

Kyo: Hey dad, why blame all this on me like some little self destructive bitch, huh? I know it was my idea to film the exploits of a ninja institution but laying the blame on me is ridiculous. This show already has a spectacular rating in just mere weeks. I know the viewers are going to appreciate this far more than "At Home With Miss Hinako".

Saisyu: Shut that shit up, boy! I don't want to hear it.

Asuka: Mr. Kusanagi, at least you can lay off of him. Everyone's back in one piece.

Saisyu: What the hell!? A jailbait in only her skivvies? And the brat is trying to reason with me as well? Kid, you know damn well that I'm gonna just stare at your breasts during the while that you are in front of me. Why won't you just go back to Mr. Big's Lap-Dancing Club or something?

Asuka: (Receiving Kyo's jacket and a stolen miniskirt of Yuki from him) Thank you. Now what did you just say? If it weren't for us you would have still be wandering in the afterlife.

Saisyu: The afterlife? Bah! It wasn't so bad. I was beating Geese Howard, Charlie Nash, and Jedah in a game of spades. All the while Jedah was telling us that Orochi will bring the end of the world in the form of a pitbull.

Athena: The afterlife... (scared) I'd seen horrible, horrible things.

Kurenai: What, are you kidding me? That shit was fun. There were thousand of virile men in red pajamas gang-banging me. And the pinch forks felt good too. Now if only Johnny Cage was there...

Athena: I see now that I'm not that innocent. After having a sample of what I may be going to in the end, I really need to delve deeper in my religion. That place was scary, indeed.

Galford: You went to the underworld? Athena, you must have been a very NAUGHTY girl.

Terry: That's some creepy shit. The most of us went inside Mizuki's boring ass soul container.

Kyo: So you're going to blame our visits to the afterlife on me as well?

Saisyu: Now that you put the idea in my head... yeah.

Kyo: You are a fucking hypocrite, dad! What the heck did mom ever saw in you?

Saisyu: She saw a real man in me. That's what she saw in me. Something that you never would be.

Kyo: You know what? You can shove this party and shove it in a place that doesn't shine for all I care. I'm heading out to clear my head. I don't need to hear you whine all damn night. (Turns to leave)

Saisyu: Well good riddance! Maybe this party will be far more enjoyable without you anyway.

Kurenai: Hey Kyo, maybe I should come along with you (Snatches of her party dress in typical anime fashion, which was hiding her ultra skimpy red kimono). I hate this dress now. The fabric of this thing makes my big arse itch. Guess I won't be blowing cash on designer clothes with Mai and Yuki anytime soon.

Saisyu: Say, what the hell is this? You're crazy about my boy too?

Kurenai: It's not that kind of ball game, old man. I'm just going to cheer him up. My way. (Follows)

Terry: Well... this is highly peculiar? Yuki's gonna be pissed.

Strider: Who cares? Those two are almost always fighting each other anyway.

Terry: You're right. Say, let's resume our party and drink our body weight in alcoholic drinks. What do you say?

Strider: Sounds like a plan to me.

As the majority of the party resume after the incident, our poster boy was wandering in the forest outside the academy. Kyo decided to hand around in the wilderness in order to keep down the urge to stick his shoes up in Saisyu's arse. Unknown to him, a seemingly concerned Kurenai is silently following him. So, as a sort of warning to those that are reading this, there could be some cheesy chemistry ahead. KEY WORD: Could be.

Kyo: Damn that old punk father of mine. He thinks he can just prance around and blame things on me that wasn't even at all my fault. He's going to get his. See that I would care about him when he starts living in a retirement home.

Kurenai: (To herself) Hmm. That guy really has an issue right about now. Maybe toying him would be something to do to pass the time. It's a heck of a lot better than that party going on.

Kyo: Shit, this is all really Fuuma's fault! He's the one that caused all the chaos. I don't see Saisyu jumping down his throat.

Unknown to Kyo, the red Shotoclone ninja is indeed being punished for his actions. He was suspended from the Academy for a few days. Now, the red goofball is in the forest as well, sulking maybe. That is, until he catch a glimpse of Kurenai... alone. Now, unknown to Kurenai, she is being trailed by Fuuma.

Fuuma: (To himself) So, the Red Ninja's all alone in these neck of the woods, eh? I guess she misses me already. I'm the real hunk of the Ninja Academy anyway. Maybe we can both get naked and do the Jason's Lyrics thing? That would be cool.

Kurenai: Oh, what the heck? I have nothing else better to do. I'll go on ahead and screw the poster boy. Besides, I haven't had any in hours. (A pair of hands suddenly squeezes her butt) AAIIIEE! What the!!? Fuuma!! What the hell are you doing!?

Fuuma: Hey don't act like that, Kurenai! With the way that short skirt of yours keeps sliding up your arse like that you were kind of asking for a groping. ARGH!! (Kurenai slaps him)

Kurenai: You lay off my behind, boy. Do it again and I swear that you'll have a rude awakening tomorrow morning. Starting off with your dick missing...

Fuuma: Okay! Okay! My bad!! So, what brings you here to the forest all by yourself? You miss me or something?

Kurenai: What are you freaking kidding me! Everyone at the academy is still pissed off at you! Hanzo thinks that suspending you from the academy for a couple of days was pure mercy. The guy wanted to outright murder you.

Fuuma: Fuck him. So, now that we're both alone in the middle of the greenery... what do you want to do? I know you have something on you mind. Don't be shy, toots.

Kurenai: I have something on my mind but it has nothing to do with you. Is that what you really wanted to know?

Fuuma: Aw man! You're not nearly as fun as you look. C'mon Kurenai, let's come up with some sort of compromise here. If not, I'm just gonna let the cat out of the bag. I know a very interesting secret about you. Something that you rather take to the grave with you.

Kurenai: Oh? What do you mean by that? Tell me.

Fuuma: Shang Tsung was among one of the people that was banging you in the dorms the other night. You'll have to forgive me.

Kurenai: What!? Man, you have to be straight out joking! You are, right?

Fuuma: I kid you not, my friend. Because I was there.

Kurenai: Why you!!

Fuuma: No, I didn't mean that! I was doing the filming!

Kurenai: Oh, you was? (Realization dawns on her) Why you!!

While Kurenai begins stomping a mud hole in Fuuma's arse, our poster boy heard the ruckus and found out that it was them. He is slightly surprised to see Kurenai around and not back at the visitor's day party. Knowing her, she can make a killing using her seduction technique on the men. He also saw Fuuma, being damn near buried in the ground. While Kurenai had the right idea, Kyo couldn't help but feel sorry for the moronic shotoclone ninja, because mostly everyone else at the party wants to kill him for the incident.

Kyo: So you two decided to join me in a sulking session, huh?

Kurenai: Huh? Oh! Kyo, what a pleasant surprise to meet you here. I'm here because I think I may have left a pair of panties or tampons out around here. Hehe... it's not that I'm following you or anything like that... hehehe.

Kyo: Girl, you just made me even more suspicious.

Fuuma: Kurenai, now that you mentioned it, I did found a pair of your panties after you had a orgy with Nightmare.

Kurenai: Heheheh... I showed the Azure Knight the true meaning of 'deep' darkness. (Realizes something) Hey! How did you know about that, Fuuma!?

Fuuma: I got it all on tape. I made a killing off of it when I sold it to Cervantes and his ship crew.

Kurenai: And I thought that I was good at the art of stealth. Sheesh!

Kyo: You two are a trip. I mean-- INCOMING!!

All of a sudden, a sort of razor hat came out of nowhere, which Fuuma was almost the victim of the killer weapon. Kurenai gets into a stance... but it's not really one suited for battle. Kyo prepares himself for battle, thinking toasting anyone to a crisp may lift his mood. To the three people's surprise, Kurenai is suddenly grabbed from behind in a painful headlock.

Fuuma: Whoa! What the hell is going on here?

Kyo: A fight, you dickhead! That's what's the fuck going on!

Kurenai: You two quit assing around and come over here and help me! Shit! This headlock hurts like a bitch!

???: Halt! Hold your horses!

Kyo: Huh?

Fuuma: What? Who blew the whistle?

???: You can let go of the ninja girl, Ryoko. They don't seem to be a problem. They cool.

Fuuma: Hey, I think I've seen you before... back in 93.

Out of the shadows came Mortal Kombat legend, Kung Lao. He commands the mysterious girl whom had Kurenai in a choke hold to release her, to the Red Ninja's immense relief. Kung Lao was the guy that was responsible for nearly lopping off Fuuma's head with the hat just now. The girl that had Kurenai in the hold was World Heroes' notorious Judo Queen, Ryoko Izumo AKA: The Tiny Titan.

Kung Lao: Sorry about all that. We thought that you were the guys from the reality show 'Who Wants To Be A Shotoclone'. Although, the guy in red makes me wonder if he is.

Fuuma: Hey!! I always get bullshit sayings like that!

Kyo: It wouldn't be so if you just come at em a little more original, Fuuma. Sorry to have to let the cat out of the bag on ya.

Kurenai: Damn my head hurts.

Ryoko. My bad, little lady. You'll live toots.

Kurenai: Toots!? (Looks violated)

Fuuma: Hey Ryoko! I remember you. The tiny judo kid from the tournament years ago. We used to team up and whoop Hanzou's ass. Although, I don't see why in the fuck you fell in love with him in the first place. He's a loser! I tell ya! A LOSER!!

Ryoko: Hey, I remember you too... um, what's your name again? Fuck-up or something like that?

Fuuma: What the!? Do I look like Dan Hibiki to you!?

Ryoko: Just kidding. So how's life treating you lately? Have you ever gotten into Janne's breeches yet. That girl is hell with the well. I had a hard time with her...

Kyo, & Fuuma: What did you just say?

Kung Lao: She's bisexual, guys. You know, shit hasn't been the same since the turn of the new millennium and crap like that.

Kyo & Fuuma: Cool! We're not complaining.

Kurenai: Men...

Ryoko: I know, right?

Kurenai: Get away from me you bull dagger!

Ryoko: Hey hey! Don't be like that. Once you ride in both lanes, your choices become limitless! You should try a woman at least one in your life. You don't know what you're missing!

Kurenai: Uh... I'll pass

Ryoko: If you say so.

Kyo: Now that's settle, what's up with 'Who Wants to Be A Shotoclone'? I hate shotoclones too, but you don't see me trying to murder every last one of them. As much as I love the idea, I admit.

Kung Lao: I agree. There's a camp not too far from hear and me and my comrades are planning a raid on the set. I'm doing a MAJOR favor for viewers who are still sane, honest. I rather watch 'At Home With Miss Hinako' than that bullshit show. The others, Lucky, B.B. Hood, Smoke, Noob Saibot, and Enigma are spying on the camp even as we speak.

Kyo: So... you wanna break off some shotoclones eh? This will definitely brighten my mood. Count me in.

Fuuma: But isn't Kanzuki Telecasting company sponsoring that show? The security will damn sure enough be heavy.

Kung Lao: You guys shouldn't worry! You're ninjas. Espionage shouldn't be any problem to you guys right?

Kyo: Technically, I'm not a ninja. But I think I have an idea on how to deal with the security around there. I used to mess around with Karin Kanzuki a while back. Maybe I can fuck her like in the good old days and convince her to cancel the show.

Ryoko: Now that could be a problem, pretty boy.

Kyo: What do you mean?

Kung Lao: That show, sadly, has a very high TV rating. All the Capcom Fanboys and Fangirls are crazy about it. If that show gets cancelled then all those fans will get suspicious. The show just can't go up and in smoke in front of them like that.

Kyo: I see... So that means that we gonna really have to strategize about our attack on them.

Fuuma: I got it! Maybe I can show them a real dragon punch! That'll teach em!

Ryoko: Fuuma... I'm sorry that I have to admit this but, you go over there if you want to, you're gonna get your ass kicked. Just like Hanzou used to do back in the days.

Kurenai: Maybe I can distract them by seducing them and having sex with the male. That would work... would it?

Kyo: If those wannabes are anything like Ryu, then you're wasting your charms, Kurenai. I bet they're just as emotionless. They won't even get a hard on from peeping at your titties.

Kurenai: Damn, it's like that? It's kind of scary if you ask me.

Kung Lao: Okay, let's be off. We're going to meet up with the others.

Back at the visitation day party, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves without worry. Well, except Yuki... she's becoming worried about Kyo, and, more importantly, where Kurenai had disappeared to. The fact that the sexy half dressed assassin suddenly dismissing herself made Yuki all the more suspicious. She attempts to spark up some girl talk and gets into a conversation with Asuka. Then again, she's probably wondering why the hell she has on Kyo's jacket... and one of her miniskirts.

Yuki: You there! Kazama girl, c'mere and let me holler at you for a moment.

Asuka: Oh. You're Kusanagi's girlfriend, right? Is there something I can help you with? (Earns a peculiar look from Yuki) Hey-hey! I'm sorry if I got you on edge. I had to get on some clothes that can fit me. I got hit by Red Arremer you know?

Yuki: Um... That annoying goblin thing-a-ma-bob from Ghouls and Ghost?

Asuka: Right. That red bastard that can easily frustrates the hell out of you.

Yuki: Well, just for that I can certainly forgive you. You just be a bit more careful next time because I don't want to see you wearing one of my skirts again.

Asuka: Ho hum... If you say so.

Before things can get pretty ugly between the two girls, Kyo's mother, Shizuka Kusanagi came into the scene. She just entered the party mere moments ago and she had yet to see any signs of her son. Now a tad worried, she thinks that the box of chocolate cookies she baked for her son will get cold. But as luck may have it, she spots her 'so-called' daughter-in-law among the crowd. What the fuck's Yuki doing in a ninja academy, she didn't know but hell... she wasn't complaining.

Shizuka: Yuki, fancy seeing you here.

Yuki: Oh shit... it's Mrs. Kusanagi. Ahem... (To Shizuka, in a too sugary sweet voice) Mother-in law! How are you today?

Shizuka: I'm just fine, thank you. Have you seen my boy around here? He called me the other night and told me to come and see him on visitation day. But he is nowhere to be seen. Oh well... he could be busy right this moment. I'm afraid these cookies I brought him will get cold.

Yuki: That's too bad. All I know that he and his dad got into it.

Shizuka: AGAIN? It's just like those two. Acting all childish. My goodness... that's what I get for marrying a younger man. I made these cookies in vain.

Eiji: Oh, that can be arranged Mrs. Kusanagi.

Shizuka: Eiji. I'm delighted to see you here. Last time I heard, you were sentence to 40 years in a maximum security prison with no parole.

Eiji: Uh... it's not so bad... I never get raped. Thank god. Because I killed the fools that even get the idea in their heads. But Mrs. Kusanagi, a fair warning: don't say that aloud ever again or I'll have to kill you.

Shizuka: Oh, that's Eiji for you. He has that crazy sense of humor like his mother did. You want these cookies? My son isn't here to enjoy them.

Eiji: Really!? I haven't tasted your cooking in years. (Snatches box) Thanks a lot. Nobody never comes to bring me stuff at the prison.

Yuki: EIJI! C'mon man, you got to learn how to share! I want some cookies too!

Eiji: Share these nuts!! (Disappears)

Shizuka: Oh my... things never change.

Elsewhere, outside the set of ill-famous TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Shotoclone', the gates are being guarded by oh-so-tough guards. Kung Lao and his Sect has already set up some semblance of a plan. To initiate this, they send Kyo out in the opening. Since he is a TV icon, it is doubtful that there would be any hassles on his way to a 'business meeting' with Kanzuki Telecasting mogul, Karin Kanzuki. Oh yeah... for those of you who are curious as to find out who the toy cops...err, I mean, tough bodyguards are Chun Li, Soul Caliber's Chai Xianghua and tomboyish Cassandra of the same said franchise.

Cassandra: I'm bored as hell. Why the hell did I apply for this job anyway? Oh yeah... the high pay. That's right.

Xianghua: If you weren't offered such high pay for this job you wouldn't even looked this way, right?

Cassandra: You know me too well, girl. Mentally, at least, but not in the battlefield. That's why you had your ass handed to you on our last duel.

Xianghua: That last win for you was pure luck and you know it! I was distracted by the wandering eyes of the male spectators.

Cassandra: Yeah right. It was a mistake to make you the main protagonist... then it was an even bigger mistake for making you a convincing fan service character.

Xianghua: HEY! I had to mature somehow!

Chun Li: You girls should know better. The industry will always exploit us. Why, look at me years ago. I was actually scared of all that attention that I was getting.

Xianghua: Whoa! You're right! That was in the history books! I mean, back then... you were like the first season of I Love Lucy of the fighting series world. Some say it was cute then but have footballer's thighs are not considered sexy. That's why you were throw away like yesterday's trash so soon.

Chun Li: What did you say? You... you hyperactive child in a relatively grown woman's body!? I wouldn't talk if I were you. You have a romantic interest in an angst stricken femboy. What the heck's up with that?

Xianghua: Oh? You're one to talk, old timer! What the hell you call Ryu as a romantic interest? I mean c'mon! The guy's never seen any female's genitalia since he came out of his mother's womb. Let be real! The guy wouldn't even get a hard on even if I sat on him bucked-naked.

Cassandra: If anything, that would disgust men.

Xianghua: Who freakin' asked you!? You're just mad because you're still in your sister's shadow. So don't say anything slick about my good looks.

Chun Li: Would you two grow up? Uh... forget I said that, that's kind of hard for you to do. We've been hired as guards here for the time being. We're not here to fuss among each other like old maids.

Cassandra: The only old maid here is you!

Xianghua: Yeah. Shut the hell up you has-been!

Chun Li: That's it! Time to teach you girls how to respect your elders... Yaa Tai!!!

Xianghua: Bring it, you cottage cheese legged hussy!

Cassandra: What you gonna do huh!!? Go for your nasty ass Spinning Bird Kick and fuck around and land on your neck?

Xianghua: Go back to the strip club in Hong Kong whence you came!

Chun Li: You idiots! I'm going to kill the both of you!!

Just as the guards were about to kill each other, Kyo came into the scene just as planned. He was disguised in a business suit. He would take the privilege of enjoying the catfight but the guy had things to do. The Known Unknown have to initiate their plans somehow.

Kyo: Uh... hi there... if you guys are still alive...

Cassandra: Huh!!? Hey, old timer! Stop pulling my hair!! We have a visitor!

Xianghua: Hey, it's that Kusanagi guy. Guess I have to kick your asses some other time.

Chun Li: We're gonna finish this some other time. You girls are gonna get yours.

Cassandra: That'll be the day Ryu gains a personality then.

Xianghua: Well, with that out of the way, how can we help you?

Kyo: Right. I'm here on a business meeting with your boss. Is that okay with her? I'm top rated KTV presenter, Kyo Kusanagi speaking with you.

Chun Li: You have any I.D. on you? I don't trust you. Sorry to let you know.

Cassandra: Aww... stop it with the hassles, Chun. You're just mad that this guy spoiled your virginity that you've been saving up for decades now.

Xianghua: HAHAHAHA!! Besides, who needs I.D. when you're a international icon... with money... and a good looking son of a bitch as well?

Chun Li: Wow. I see Kyo's bringing out the groupie in you. What do you think Kilik will say about this?

Xianghua: Kilik... who's he?

Chun Li: Ignore her, she's hopeless. So why would you visit the set of 'Who Wants to Be A Shotoclone' out of all people? And what do you want with Karin Kanzuki?

Kyo: Hey you know how it is... a sort of important meeting for a possible partnership with KTV and Kanzuki Telecasting Corp. It's just a little plot so we all can get bigger pay checks and stuff like that.

While Kyo is trying to talk his way past security, Kung Lao and his sect were talking among themselves. Ryoko watches the scene unfold. B.B. Hood desperately wants to blow off one of the security guard's head off using a sniper rifle. Fuuma is sort of upset because he didn't bring any of his porn magazines. Kurenai was busy combing her hair just in case that she has to use her charms at all. And Lucky Gaubler, Smoke, Noob Saibot and Enigma were playing spades.

Kung Lao: It looks like this operation is definitely off on a good start. Can you actually call those three women top flight security?

Ryoko: I like the Greek chick. She's spunky.

BB Hood: Who gives a shit! I just wanna blow their brains out to kingdom come!

Fuuma: Man, I am bored shitless here! I'm starving, I don't have any of my books with me. (Looks up at Kurenai, whom was checking herself in a compact mirror). Hey Red, come over here and occupy me! I know that you're the chick to do it.

Kurenai: Like hell I will! I rather wake up pissy drunk in bed with Ash Crimson and Astoroth .

Lucky: Hey Kung, while we at it... why not make up a name for our group? I mean... we're a group of hitmen and yet we don't have a name. Why, look at the groups back in Southtown: Southtown Samurais, The Bad Hair Brawlers... The Jailbaits... Mercs R Us...

Noob Saibot: Oh! I know! I know! Can we call ourselves the Shades? That's a kick arse name.

BB Hood: The hell you're talking about, Noob. You ARE a shade.

Kung Lao: I dunno. I always sort of like to call ourselves The Sect. Got kind of a nice ring to it.

Smoke: The Sect!? Isn't that kind of lame boss? We're not a bunch of Orochi follower's you know?

Enigma: Anybody want cheeseburgers? I have tons of stolen McDonalds food in my duffel bag.

Fuuma: Me! Me! I want ten of them! God knows that I'm starving!

Ryoko: Well, that's you then. Most of those burgers are a couple years old. Enigma, you need to chill out with the old McDonalds food. I for one am tired of munching on old Quarter Pounders when I'm hungry.

BB Hood: Got any Fillet-O-Fish?

Enigma: Yep! Come and get em!

Lucky: Hey! I got it! How bout we call ourselves... The Know Unknowns. That's a cool name isn't it? Just like that Three 6 Mafia album.

BB Hood: I like it!

Kung Lao: Hmm. That's catchy as hell.

Noob Saibot: Hey guys, it looks like that poster boy over there is making progress with the guards. The first step is successful.

Chun Li: Okay, let him in girls. And no funny business.

Kyo: Right... There shall not be any juvenile acts committed during the meeting.

But just as Kyo was about to enter the gates of the studio, a gigantic wave of blue energy exploded throughout the studio, alerting everyone... even The Known Unknown. Because they didn't plan on bombing the studio... at least, not yet anyway. The scene is now littered with several bodies of wannabe Shotoclones, both seriously injured or dead. Karin rushes out of office, bitching all her hair getting messed up in the explosion. Xianghua and Cassandra had their weapons drawn and Chun Li immediately suspects Kyo.

Chun Li: You! Boy, you had something to do with this, didn't you?

Kyo: Hey, that bullshit had nothing to do with our plans--err our business meeting.

Chun Li: Ah ha! Busted!!

Karin: Oh my god, this is an emergency!! My hair's all fucked up! Someone call my hairdresser immediately!!

Cassandra: Oh shut the hell up bitch!! You're not good looking!!

Karin: Neither are you, you flunky!

Kyo: Ladies, all bullshit aside, I had nothing to do with this!

Karin: Damn it all!! I'm gonna get the shit sued out of me!!

Kung Lao (rushing in the scene along with Ryoko): Kyo, we gonna have to retreat for now. This incident totally interfered with everything.

Chum Li: I knew it! I'm arresting all of you!

Ryoko: Don't get your panties in a bunch, legs! We've found this note.

Karin: Gimme that! (Snatches the note) It says: "Heed our warnings, descendants of nijutsu, and the so called bad ass samurais, we challenge you the both of you. The Arthur's School of Knights wishes to challenge your might. We understand that you're now intimidated by the legacy of knighthood, however if you decline our challenge we shall continue causing chaos... this time we may attack a academy of significant value. Aya Uteo Ninja Academy, Dojo of Honorable Samurai, journey on the path to your defeat. We shall allow three days for preparations. Because though it's bleak, chivalry has yet to die."

Xianghua: Oh shit! It's an ultimatum!

Karin: (Still reading) P.S. : I've chiseled your gravestones... Rest in pieces!! Sign: Wolfgang Kruaser.

Kung Lao: It looks like there's gonna be serious beef on your dish in the coming days. What are ya going to do, Kyo.?

Kyo: Shit! I gotta warn everyone back at the academy.

Things are now taking an even more interesting turn for everyone. What kind of destruction does the knights have in mind? And what toughies do they have in their ranks anyway? One thing is for certain... the ninjas and the samurais has three days to do what they have to do before the confrontation with the knights, and possibly, with each other.

Note 1: Soul Caliber. An awesome 3D fighting game involving weaponry. It has solid gameplay, but the storyline is going absolutely NOWHERE!

Note 2: Ryoko Izumo: The best thing ever to happen to the World Heroes series, besides Johnny Maximum, of course. In World Heroes 2, she was the strongest character in the game. I think it was a mistake even to this day.

Note 3: Shizuka Kusanagi. Duh, it's Kyo's mother. In the manga (which has yet to see the light of day here in the States and quite possibly Europe) she bakes some mean cookies. Hence the reason why Eiji comes around to snatch up a few of them.

Note 4: Yeah, I know. I need my arse kicked. I've been away for nearly four months. But it's not entirely my fault... I guess. Writer's block, court visits, insecure girlfriend, and strippers... life's definitely weird sometimes.
