Saw Paing was going to go see Gaolongs Fight in Japan and decided to take a boat with Karo, a mutual friend of both Gaolong's and Saw's. Saw Paing loved this much more than flying since flying just sort of made him nervous.

Saw was up late at night and decided to take a walk around the ship and just looked up at the stars. But while Saw was standing all of a sudden a giant wave of water came through and it looked like it grabbed Saw pulling him into the ocean. Saw then grabbed onto the railing but the ocean just took that too.

Saw started to scream underwater not realizing that was something you really shouldn't do 'I can't die yet. I still need to face my rival in a True battle, ' Saw thought or more basically screamed underwater. Saw soon passed out, before being greeted with one single message, "Protect them for me please." Saw suddenly awoke looking for the speaker of the message but seeing no one currently on the dock he was suddenly on.

Saw got up determined to figure out what was going on, went to try and find out where he was. As he started to walk around he quickly noticed without help that he was in fact in New York City due to seeing the Empire state building and the Statue of Liberty. "HOW THE HELL DID I WIND UP HERE" Saw yelled before being quickly shushed by an old lady. "Oh sorry" He said not knowing very good english but enough to pass him by.

He then started to look around to try and find a way back at least to Burma if not Japan. But his sense of direction wasn't too great as he ended up in a candy store called "Sweet on America" where he saw a woman. Now usually Saw wouldn't particularly care but something pulled him towards this woman.

She was average height with long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes full of kindness. But that wasn't the only thing it was like he was compelled to talk to her; he had no idea why but he wasn't going to fight it either.

"Hello name is Saw Paing" Saw said in broken English and in a Burmese accent. "Hello Saw Paing, how may I help you?" Sally said, full of kindness and understanding. "Am lost, was on the boat and fell off and awoke on deck" Saw explained the best he could. Sally, understanding what he meant, looked at him full of concern. "Do you know the ship's name?" Sally said to Saw.

"No, a Friend's ship was going to Japan to see a friend" Saw said, holding back his wish to shout not wanting to wake anyone in the city that never sleeps.

"Oh hm well if you want to if you are willing to wait until I finish my shift that is I'm willing to let you stay with me for a while until you can find a way to contact them" Sally said with a smile.

Saw was taken aback this woman out of the kindness of her heart was willing to house him until he could find a way back. "Sure is ok for me to stay" Saw wanted to make sure this lady didn't just misspoke.

Sally looked at him and smiled "of course it's fine just behave yourself and it should be fine" she said.

"ALRIIIIGHT" Saw shouted in his usual shouting voice. Sally just smiled at the enthusiastic man. After 3 hours Sally was finally done with her shift while Saw had sat down in the break room thankfully Sally was on her own today.

While Sally was getting ready she told Saw to just wait outside while she closed the shop down. He did just as she asked and waited outside for her. As he looked up to the night sky wondering 'How the hell did I end up in America'.

While Saw wasn't paying attention Sally tapped him on the shoulder "you ok there?" Sally asked. "Oh yeah just thinking about how I got here" Saw said, his smile never faltering. "Well we can figure that out after you get some sleep ok?" Sally said walking away

"You're right," Saw said following along. Saw followed her for about 10 blocks before arriving at a rundown apartment. "It's not much but it works. Come on I'll show you inside" Sally said walking in and up the stairs Saw followed right behind before they arrived at the 2nd floor and entered the apartment room.

When Saw entered the smell hit him immediately. He thought why the heck did her apartment smell like this? She didn't seem like someone who was uncleanly but the smell was thick of cigarette smoke and alcohol. That was when he saw the source of the unbearable stench. A group of people were drinking, smoking, and playing poker and from the look of it for a while now.

"Sally who the fuck is that guy" A white, balding, and admittedly a very ugly man with a huge beer gut. "He's an old friend who is just spending a few days here Gabe," Sally said, setting up the couch for Saw. "Really how come you never mentioned him before." Gabe sneered "he better be paying rent" Gabe said going back to his poker game.

"What is your relationship to him?" Saw said as quietly as he could. "He protects my son but at the cost of me putting up with him" Sally said, not explaining fully. 'What is he strong? No the only strong thing about him is his stench so how does protect her son? Wait she has a son' Saw thought completely stunned and started to think back to the message he first received "Protect them for me please" could that have meant about Sally and her child

"I could protect you both" it was only 5 words but the impact it had from a Saw Paing without a smile was deafening. "Wh what did you say" Sally stammered, not sure if she heard the man correctly. "I Saw Paing would and can protect you and your son" Saw said resolutely about it. "Do you really think you can?" Sally said, her voice choking out each syllable.

"What the hell are you guys talking about over there?" Gabe said, not fully hearing what was going on. "It's just some upsetting news don't worry." Sally again lies with great efficiency. "Can you really protect us?" Sally said with tears in her eyes. It was only now did Saw notice the slight flinch whenever Gabe spoke, the bruises she had under her sleeves.

"Without question" Saw slowly growls his eyes now turned to Gabe with great anger. "Please help us," Sally said, almost fully crying. That was all Saw needed to hear he then Immediately stood up and walked over to the poker table.

"What the fuck do you want ass hat?" Gabe said. Saw suddenly raised his foot and smashed the table in half with an axe kick while not his forte it worked quite well. "WHAT THE HELL ASSHOLE?" Gabe yelled at the man. "GET OUT NOW" Saw Yelled back only twice as loud. "Oh yeah and who is gonna make m-" Before Gabe could finish Saw kicked his jaw hard shutting him up by sending him 5 feet back and unconscious.

"ALL OF YOU GET OUT" Saw yelled at the poker players. None of them wanting to mess with this crazy guy picked up their friend and hurriedly left.
