Chapter Ten: Tanas to The Rescue!

C.M.: Man, Kenny, I didn't know you were so used to hot food.

Kenny: Are you kidding? That was too cold for chilli. Even with the condiments. And even they weren't that spicy. Which reminds me, Honda, you owe me fifty zeni.

Honda: Huh?

Kenny: I ate the bowl of chilli without flinching.

Honda: Ah, man. Well, here.

Honda gave him the fifty zeni. Meanwhile, two pairs of eyes watched Kenny accept this money. A pair of black eyes watched the two strangers.

Kenny started to lag behind and while the others had already passed the dark alleyway, Kenny only started to go past it. Suddenly, Kenny was grabbed and pulled into the alleyway.

Morto: Give us the money and we might consider spare.

Mugger 2: Though it's not likely, we'll do it.

Morto picked Kenny up by the scruff of the neck until a voice came from above. A black clothed boy jumped onto the mugger's head. This was Tanas Mika-Taharu.

Tanas: That wouldn't be such a good idea.

Morto: Who are you?

Tanas: My name: Tanas Mika-Taharu, legendary boy assassin and defender of defenceless who aren't the defenceless at my hands.

Mugger 2: Huh?

Tanas: I mean that I save those who are in need of help, but those who need help because of what I do to them. (Takes out a staff) Sword Online!

The staff re-arranged into the shape of a sword, which Tanas then used to swipe at the muggers. They dodged quickly enough, but Tanas smirked anyway.

Tanas: Now to finish it. (Clicks fingers to reveal the legendary Golden Fireballs that Tanas uses for his finishing move.) Golden Fireballs, YA!

Tanas fired one at Morto instantly killing him in golden flames. Meanwhile, the second mugger ran off cowardly.

Tanas: Hey now, you aren't getting off that easy!

He fired another fireball at the mugger who had gained a lot of speed already. Still, the fireball made contact and killed the mugger.

Kenny: W-wow! (Nervous) I'm not a mugger, you know. I was the victim.

C.M. came round the corner of the alleyway to check on Kenny.

C.M.: Y'alright, Kenny. I saw some golden fireballs and got worried. (Notices Tanas.) Uh-oh. Kenny, RUN! IT'S THE LEGENDARY ASSASSIN, TANAS MIKA- TAHARU!
