Keira changed into her Kung Fu suit and met up with Tiffney and Lee in the basement.
"Alright Keira final test, come and get me," Lee strongly, Keira caught a staff that was thrown to her into the complete darkness of the basement, Tiffney sat out of the way as she concentrated on where Lee was in the dark, she thought she would get a head start seen as this was supposedly what she was going to be doing in her training. After 30 minutes Keira had the shit beat out of Lee, he flipped the lights on.
"Alright, congratulations Keira, you have surpassed your sensei, let me get cleaned up and give you your ceremony," Lee going upstairs,
"You have a very cool sensei, I like it," Tiffney smirked,
"Its going to be fast pasted learning, we'll try and get started on the training after my ceremony," Keira explained as she put up the staff and took out her shiv that Riddick had given her, and took out her shiv that Riddick had given her, she flipped it around in her hand again, testing the balance again,
"God, this feels good," Keira mumbled, she raised it to her nose, she closed her eyes, and took a long whiff of the blade,
"It smells like him," Keira smiling a little. Tiffney laughed,
"Did I just see you smell that blade? It's a nice blade, can I see it?" Tiffney asked, Keira was hesitate, she didn't want to lose the smell that had attached itself to the blade, but she let her see. Tiffney twirled it in her hand, just to check the balance,
"Its balanced perfectly," Tiffney smirked as she saw Keira giving her a look.
"You are pretty good with a blade, wanna show me what you know already," Keira getting her shiv and placing it back at her side,
"Sure, but don't go easy on me," Tiffney grabbing a staff, Keira smirked, knowing that street kids had to have some kind of protection or they wouldn't survive. Keira grabbed a staff and they went head to head, swinging their staffs and blocking each other's attacks almost in the same techniques.
"What the hell?" Lee strongly, he watched them for another 30 minutes,
"Enough," Lee shouted, Keira and Tiffney stopped,
"You have great knowledge," Keira narrowing her eyes at Tiffney,
"I have been training since I was about six years old, my dad knew this old Chinese guy," Tiffney shrugged, she pulled down her shirt over her shoulder and showed Keira, a tattoo of a crow, it was a on her shoulder, Lee stared at it.
"You were my younger brother's student, hmm, a crow and a tiger together, not a bad combination, Keira, come," Lee bringing her in front of a Buddha,
"Kneel, and accept your three gifts," Lee strongly. Keira kneeled down,
"To you, I give you the strength and agility of a perfect blade," Lee laying a sword down in front of her,
"To you, I give you the wind of a ship," Lee laying a pair of keys down to her.
"And to you, I give you the money for your journey," Lee explained as he lay down the envelop.
"What is all this?" Keira confused,
"A sensei can give three gifts of his choice to a student who he deems is worthy of them," Tiffney smirked.
"So, exactly what is the wind of a ship?" Keira confused, Tiffney rolled her eyes,
"What do you think, hell you went to pilot school and graduated at the top of the class and you have to ask that question?" Tiffney laughed, Keira's eyes suddenly popped wide open,
"Oh, my, fucking, GOD! You are giving me a ship!" Keira shouted, Lee smirked and nodded,
"Lee, you have given me so much," Keira cried,
"There's about $30,000 to get you started on your journey, the ship has been well taken care of and is ready for your commands, you shouldn't need anything for it for about five years, give or take," Lee explained, Keira hugged him tightly,
"You deserve it kid, now sit, I still have yet to place your mark on you," Lee making her remove her suit from her left shoulder, he started tattooing her. When he was done there was a perfect tiger embedded in her shoulder with a green eyes, he put a patch over it,
"It will be sore a couple days, if you guys want to see your home come with me," Lee strongly. Keira got up and grabbed her sword and money and the keys and the two girls went to check out their ride which was going to be their new home for a while.
On the ship
Keira and Tiffney looked around,
"You have seven showers, a lunchroom galley with a fridge, 15 sleeping quarters, they are rather roomy so if you need to, you can have two to a room you can easily do it," Lee showing them the sleeping quarters.
"Cool, weird looking keys," Keira looking at the keys for the sleeping quarters,
"The keys are different for each room, one key unlocks one room and one room only," Lee explained,
"Oh, and you have metal room to make your weapons, there are also three crates of weapons and ammo, you'll need to stock up on ammo, before you go into any battle, besides, the guns are old and could jam up, so you'll have to clean them," Lee explained,
"Right, I'll give everyone their own personal weapon and have them clean it, we should probably do some shooting practices, make sure everyone is still updated on their targeting exercises," Keira thinking.
"I'm going to go and order the beer, what's a party without beer and chips and dip," Lee patting Keira on the shoulder, Keira checked everything out and made a list of everything they would need.
"Tomorrow we'll go check your dad's ship to make a list of the parts we need, alright Tiff?" Keira heading to the cockpit,
"Sounds good," Tiffney following her.
"So, are you going to ride with me or pilot your father's ship?" Keira asked, "I haven't thought that much about it, do you want me to ride with you?" Tiffney asked.
"I'd like for you to, we'd make a damn good team, but really it's up to you," Keira shrugged,
"Alright, I guess I'll think about it then," Tiffney smiling, Keira stared at the controls,
"Tiff, the real reason I am putting together a crew is becauseā¦I'm going after mercs, I'm going to kill every last one of them," Keira feeling like she could tell Tiffney without her freaking out,
"Keira, you know this is a death mission right?" Tiffney calmly.
"Tiff, imagine, if we could be the ones that actually gave people a chance to be tried, to actually try to prove themselves innocent, mercs go after bounty," Keira strongly,
"Yeah, but who is going to pay us?" Tiffney confused,
"When we hit a ship, we take the mercs out, we get everything, we rip out the tracking locator and take the ship too, and soon we will all have a ship and we would be one hell of a fleet if you guys still wanted to stay on, we could get jobs of scouting for people when they come into port that may become problem, just imagine the possibilities, we could all make a lot more money than being just a pilot or working on ships," Keira strongly.
"Why are you doing this?" Tiffney confused, "I'm doing this for my own protection," Keira somewhat lying.
"What are you talking about Keira?" Tiffney confused. Keira thought about what she was saying,
"Nothing, never mind, if it makes us rich and we all have our own ship what does it matter?" Keira closing up again. She couldn't tell anyone who she was, the holy man Imam was the only one who survived that Devils planet, Jack and Riddick died side by fighting those monsters of the darkness. That's the way it had to be, besides Jack was dead now, Keira was born and she was one hell of an animal.
"I'm with you Keira," Tiffney strongly,
"Huh?" Keira being interrupted from her thoughts.
"I'm with you, I'm not going anywhere, we street rats have to stick together don't we?" Tiffney smirked having her hand out to shake hands, Keira laughed, she grabbed Tiffney's wrist and shook her hand warrior style,
"Come on, lets go party," Keira strongly, she threw her arm around Tiffney's shoulder and they turned and left the ship.
