"Fate
has it's Reasons"
/
(Ryo's Journal)
I left China thinking I was wasting my time finding Lan Di.
Returned to Yokosuka, my hometown, and relaxed.
Fuku-san gave me the determination to return to China and defeat Lan Di.
What was I thinking?
I still have BOTH the mirrors and my hunt of Lan Di ISN'T over.
Just got back on the boat, once more, and heading for China.
More interested now in finding why this is all taking place.
Lan Di didn't JUST show up at my house for nothing.
Need to find out what is so damn important about these mirrors, and my fate.
END of Entry #8.
"?"
Ryo-san: Now Lan Di, pray for mercy!
:Ryo locks his right hand around Lan Di's throat and raises him in the air like he did to him back in the Dojo:
Lan Di: It's not my fault I wanted vengeance, just like you.
:Ryo
uses his two fingers and jabs Lan Di up his stomach:
:Lan
Di falls and dies instantly:
:Suddenly,
the ground disappears beneath Ryo:
:Ryo
falls, surrounded by darkness:
:He
was unable to move:
:A
red object flys towards him:
:Yu
Suzuki's face appears:
:His
face was wooden and he had two red dots on both of his cheeks,
resembling a clown:
Yu Suzuki: GAME OVER. Ha ha ha. GAME OVER. Ha ha ha...
:This continued for a while:
Ryo-san: (floating away into darkness) Noooooooooooooo!!
"The
Boat. 1989."
"Ryo's
Cabin"
:Ryo
awakes:
:He
was drenched in sweat:
:His
cabin door opens:
Chai:
Heya Ryo!
Ryo-san:
Chai?
:Chai
was wearing blue overalls and a round blue hat:
:He
was happier than ever:
Chai:
I work on the boat now. Fresh towels?
Ryo-san:
I'm fine.
Chai:
Do you have enough soap?
Ryo-san:
I'm fine! T-Thank you.
Chai:
Ok. Remember, I'm a bell away.
:Chai
walks off:
:Ryo
shuts the door behind him:
Ryo-san: (sitting back down on his bunkbed) Something's not right. That dream felt too real. More real than the dream I had after Father passed. The prophecy states that I will meet the girl from the West, and we will brave together. My inner courage shall determine my fate. Oh but what does it all mean?
:Ryo takes out a book entitled "Ninja Warrior's! Season One Information":
Ryo-san: (flipping through the pages) Where the hell is Super Sushi Bhudda God's scores at?
"Boat
Dock's"
"Worker's
Pier"
:Ryo
steps out the boat:
:He
smells his first breath of newfound air:
:A
fisherman stood at the bottom of the steps, holding a sign that
read,"Rihoe Hazuki":
Ryo-san:
Excuse me?
Fisherman:
Are you Rihoe Hazuki?
Ryo-san:
It's Ree-Yo Hazuki.
Fisherman:
That's what it says. Follow me.
:Ryo walks off with the fisherman:
Rihoe Haziki: (stepping off the boat) Where the hell is that fisherman?
"Fisherman's Wharf"
Ryo-san: Before we go any further...
:Ryo
looks at the fisherman suspiciously:
:The
fisherman gulps:
Ryo-san:
Can you show me where a telephone is around here?
Fisherman:
S-Sure! Follow me.
Ryo-san:
Great. Thank you so much.
:The
fisherman points in the direction of the phone:
:Ryo
picks up the telephone and calls his old Stakeout Apartment:
:Last
time he left China, he left the apartment to Gui Zhang to take care
of:
?
Woman from the Stakeout Apartment: (answering) Hello?
Ryo-san:
Is Gui Zhang there?
?
Woman: I'm sorry. I don't know that name. But when I first moved in,
there was a note left with a number on it. I so happened to keep it.
Ryo-san:
Give me that number.
:Ryo hangs up and dials the number:
Gui
Zhang: Yeah?
Ryo-san:
Gui Zhang! Where are you?! Did you give my apartment up to some
hooker you met at a bar?!
Gui
Zhang: Well, yeah, but that's besides the point. Hazuki, your in a
big trouble.
Ryo-san:
How so?
Gui
Zhang: Well, I'm in jail.
Ryo-san:
What!?
"Hong Kong City Jail"
Security Officer: Ok tough guy, your minutes are up. I saw you sneaking another call on me.
:Gui
Zhang was dressed in a black jail suit with Hong Kong Jail inprinted
on the back:
:His
hair was no longer stylish and to the side:
:It
hung straight down. You could barely see his eyes:
Gui Zhang: (sweating) Just one more second. (getting back on the phone) Come get me! Dear God! I don't think I can survive another day in here! Hazuki! Hurry!
:The security guard tackles Gui Zhang:
Gui Zhang: I get another PHONE CALL!!
"Gui Zhang's Cell"
:Gui
Zhang leans up against the bars, counting all of the inmates that
were passing and blowing him kisses:
:He
figured he'd try to build up as many image memories of them:
:Just
to be on the safe side but he knew he wouldn't remember all:
:Gui
Zhang shielded his asshole heavily:
Black
Guy: Ay!
Gui
Zhang: (jumping) Yeah?
Black
Guy: You got a tattoo yet homie?
Gui
Zhang: I have many.
Black
Guy: All I see is pure, beautiful, creamy, soft...
:Gui Zhang gulps:
Black Guy: ... but more of it is rotten!
:Gui
Zhang takes a breath of satisfaction:
:The
bars open:
Officer
down the Jail Set: Recess time ladies!
Black
Guy: It's Tattoo Time for me and you babyskin boy.
Gui
Zhang: You know I figured I'd just go play some basketball.
Black
Guy: MOVE!
Gui
Zhang: Yeah, right. Tattoo Time.
"City
Jail Recreation Yard"
"Benches"
:Gui Zhang lays on his stomach with his pants pulled to his ankles while a big jailmate named Mary gave him a tattoo of little red roses on his right asscheek:
Gui Zhang: Hazuki... h-help me.
:Mary's focus slips and he draws a big, accidental line of black ink down the corner of Gui Zhang's right ass cheek:
Mary: Ooops. Sorry about that. By the way, I must say, your ass is very puuuuuurtay. Can't wait for the showers after recess.
:Gui
Zhang spots a couple of Mexican inmates secretively exchanging
weapons: small screwdrivers, lighters, little pocket knives, and ice
picks:
:One
of the Mexicans drops the Ice Pick accidentally:
Gui Zhang: Yeah. Can't wait for the showers either.
"Fisherman's Wharf"
:The
fisherman leads Ryo into a boat that obviously smelled like rotten
fish:
:He
walks into a room:
:A
skinny man was inside that looked exactly like a anorexic, more
baggier version of Don Niu:
?
Man: Hello!
Ryo-san:
Hello. You remind me of someone.
?
Man: It's me, Don Niu!
Ryo-san:
(putting his fists up) Don Niu!
Don
Niu: Relax. I'm on your side now.
Ryo-san:
(scratching his head) Wow. I missed a lot. You got thin and I like
the tan.
Don
Niu: Do you? I got it from the week I spent out in the Caribbean.
Ryo-san:
Very nice.
Don
Niu: Anyways, I'm trying to find Lan Di too. I figured, who else is
more into it than I am? That Japanese boy! So here you are, and here
I am too. Are you worried?
Ryo-san:
No. I'm stronger than ever!
Don
Niu: You worry about the prophecy.
Ryo-san:
Sometimes, yes.
Don
Niu: I have someone who might be able to help you. Do you have a pen?
Ryo-san:
(Patting himself down) Don't think so.
:Don Niu walks outside on to the Boat Deck and starts to puke off the edge:
Fisherman: I hate it when he does this.
:Many
things fell out from his mouth:
:Including
a barstool, two hundred pounds of squished up pizza, a mixture of
yellow and green colors, decroded fish, a few keys, and a pen:
Don
Niu: I found a new way to lose weight. I wrote a book. Turns out, it
got a place on the charts as one of the Worst Dietary Books Ever
Sold. Apparently, some rocker in the late 50's sang too much, got
depressed, did heroine, started to hate his life, and began to make
himself throw up all day everyday. Grownups started to do it, now
teenagers mostly do it, and blah blah blah...
Ryo-san:
Riiiiight. So how about that address?
"Hong
Kong City Jail"
"Showering
Room"
:Gui
Zhang strips all of his clothes and walks under his faucet:
:Mary
walks in followed by three of his other ruff necked, muscular
friends:
Mary:
There he is.
Mary's
Friend #1: We've tapped that ass like five times already. I say we go
for the new little Asian. He's over there and his name is Wang Hoe.
That's enough of a reason right there.
Mary:
Quiet! We do what I say.
Mary's
Friend #2: Mary is right. That guy's got a red rose tattooed on his
ass, he's standing kind of crooked, maybe he's converted now?
:Gui
Zhang unwraps the Ice Peak he found during recess:
:He
was hiding it in his hair:
Mary's
Friend #3: He's even styling his hair. It's a go!
Mary:
Let's get him.
:Mary
closes in on Gui Zhang:
:Gui
Zhang slides around on the watery floor and stabs Mary in the stomach
with the ice pick:
:Mary
plunges to the floor:
:Mary's
friends take a step back:
Gui Zhang: (acting scared) My God! This man has fainted!
:The
shower security officers run in for Gui Zhang:
:The
floor was so slippery that they all fell:
:Gui
Zhang runs out of the showers bare naked:
:He
runs down a hallway and opens the first Exit door he saw:
:He
runs outside on the deck and sees that the entire jail was surrounded
by water:
:Hong
Kong was miles away:
Gui Zhang: Noooooo!!
:His
scream echoed:
:Snipers
took their posts from surrounding towers:
Sniper
over an intercom: Stop immediately or we will fire!
Whale
from Below: Believe in yourself. Jump.
Gui
Zhang: Your a whale?
Whale:
I will catch you. Jump now!
:Gui
Zhang makes the jump:
:He
falls eight stories, landing on the whales back:
:Gui
Zhang rode off with the speeding whale:
Gui
Zhang: (letting the wind hit his sweet bare naked body) This is so
awesome!
Whale:
I'm the Magical Whale Duggy. Nice to meet you.
:Duggy jumps out of the water and through random rainbow rings in the sky:
Gui Zhang: To Hong Kong! I have unfinished business and a friend to care to!
:Duggy follows the magical rainbow rings towards the shining lights of the city:
"Lapis Fortune Teller"
:Ryo
walks in:
:The
room was quiet:
:A
whirlwind of purple sand appears:
:Lapis
forms from the sand:
Ryo-san:
You work in China too?
Lapis:
How do you think I get around?
Ryo-san:
I need to know my destiny. My prophecy.
Lapis:
Another one huh. But I like you. Your interesting. I always see crazy
stuff when I use my balls on you.
Ryo-san:
Uhhmm... your balls? Isn't that a bit too much?
Lapis:
Their balls. What do you want me to say? Crystal clear balls.
Ryo-san:
I see.
Lapis:
Have a seat.
:Ryo
sits down at Lapis's Magical table:
:Lapis
moves her hands around above her ball:
Lapis: Ahhhh ehhh... Ah ha! Ah ha! Ah ha! Ah ha!...
:Ryo looks at his watch:
Lapis: ... ah ha! ah ha!
:Ryo yawns:
Lapis:
Appears you will be having to make a choice.
Ryo-san:
What kind of choice?
Lapis:
The ones you love or the one the desire. Notice how I said the "one"
you desire.
Ryo-san:
Lan Di...
Lapis:
Don't know his name but he's sexy.
:Lapis makes the vision in her ball switch to High Definition:
Lapis:
Ohhh yeah.
Ryo-san:
Excuse me, my reading please?
Lapis:
You are standing in front of him. You both are facing each other. You
both are about to fight it appears.
Ryo-san:
This helps a lot.
Lapis:
But wait! My ball is creating more cemen.
Ryo-san:
...
Lapis:
There are two images in the background. People I'm assuming. One
wearing a black suit, his hair stylishly to the side.
Ryo-san:
That's Gui Zhang.
Lapis:
And a woman dressed in orange. Looks like she's from the wilderness
of China.
Ryo-san:
That's Shenhua.
Lapis:
But that fellow in the black suit...
Ryo-san:
Gui Zhang?
Lapis:
Yes. He's, well it looks like he's flirting with ummm...
Ryo-san:
(desperately) Flirting with Shenhua?
Lapis:
Oh wait, now Shenhua is unclothed and Gui Zhang is wearing her
clothes and... oh this is just messed up.
Ryo-san:
Tell me everything!
Lapis:
Haha just fucking with you. Relax. Your suppose to be relaxed in this
atmosphere or else my balls will just explode!
Ryo-san:
(throwing his money at Lapis) Your really a cheap, stupid dumb whore
aren't you? Take your money. You suck at this profession.
:Ryo walks out:
Lapis: Come again!
"Outside Lapis Fortune"
Ryo-san:
Father, help me. Please. Where must I go now?
Gui
Zhang: (from behind) I'll tell you.
Ryo-san:
Gui Zhang!
Gui
Zhang: Ok. Don't get all sentimental on me.
Ryo-san:
What's with the whale?
:Gui Zhang was sitting on a large cage, holding Duggy captive inside:
Duggy: How could you do such a thing?! I thought we were magical bestfriends!
:Duggy starts to cry:
Gui
Zhang: (kicking Duggy in the side) Shut up bitch! Speak only when
spoken too! (looking back at Ryo) So Hazuki, I have food for the rest
of the week.
Ryo-san:
That's great. I say we just cook that whale right here because it's
going to be hell to carry around.
Gui
Zhang: Good idea. Mind helping?
Ryo-san:
Sure!
Duggy:
But I'm a magical whale! I'm the world's bestfriend!
Gui
Zhang: Your also going to make the best whale meat. You didn't notice
how I was sooping you up with urban food spices and cherry juice
while I was riding you?
