"Okay, we're done!" declared Usopp as we looked down the slope where the pathway had been covered with oil to stop the pirate's getting up it. "We've sprayed a massive amount of oil so those bastards won't be able to get up this slope. This the most effective way to battle them. No matter what, we must guard this slope with our lives!" Usopp was getting really serious about this.
"Just don't fall down there yourself," Nami stated the obvious. "Or else you're screwed!"
"Don't worry!" Usopp boasted "I have a lot of confidence in myself! The sun is up. The pirate's will be here soon…"
We all stood at the top of the slope, looking down and waiting for the pirates appearance. They should be getting there any second now...
"Where are they? It's already morning!" Luffy sulked, kicking the dirt.
The pirates had still yet to show. Did I forgot something else in the story line, or had the story someone changed? Something was nagging me that I'd just forgotten an important part though.
"You don't suppose they slept in do you?" questioned Zoro.
My ears flickered from their place atop of my skull as I heard a roaring cry comprised of many voices from somewhere else on the island. A sick feeling sunk into the bottom of my stomach. What had I forgotten now!
"Am I just overly sensitive? I can here "Go!" from the north direction," murmured Nami, her hand cupping her ear to try and hear better.
Usopp went really pale and said, "The north!"
"I'm positive," Nami said, both hands up to her ears now. She wasn't the only one hearing it though. I heard it too.
"What's going on!" yelled Zoro, losing his cool.
Usopp clasped his head in his hands, "There's another entrance into the village in the north…but..."
"Don't tell me you got it wrong!" shouted Luffy.
"They talked about the plan here so I thought they'd attack from here!" Usopp defended himself.
"Hurry! Which way are they going to attack the village from?" demanded Luffy.
I was getting antsy by now, shifting my weight between all four of my paws. I thought I was going to be sick from nerves, but the facts that we might have got it wrong, and that I could have done something more if I'd remembered, weren't helping my nauseous feeling. What a time for me to mess up.
"Going that way would only take 3 minutes! The landscape on that side is the same as this side! All we have to do is prevent them from coming onto the top of the slope!" Usopp said, forming a plan.
"Oh no!" squealed Nami. "That's where we docked our ship! My treasure is going to be stolen!"
"I only need 20 seconds to get there!" shouted Luffy as he took off running, not waiting for the rest of us.
"Damn, the oil trap I made is useless!" moaned Usopp.
I went to start running and only got a few paces before I stopped, hearing a commotion behind me.
"Help, I'm slipping!" screamed Nami as her foot slipped in the oil trap.
I watched as she latched onto Zoro's shirt and he demanded, "Ah! Let go you idiot!"
But it was too late, Nami had used Zoro to get herself out of the oil, and took off running leaving Zoro behind stuck in the oil.
"Sorry!" was all she called over her shoulder. "My treasure in in danger!"
I watched as Nami took off and I hesitated; not sure whether I should help Zoro out, or go to the fight and leave Zoro to fend for himself.
"I'm going to kill Nami!" I heard Zoro scream.
I quickly made up my mind then. Everyone would be much better off if I spared a few minutes of mine to help Zoro. After all, I did forget that this going to happen so I had to make up for it somehow. How do I always manage to forget the major parts in the timeline?
I needed something like rope to help him… If I threw it down I could pull him through the oil… But there was no rope around anywhere! I didn't have enough time to go back to the village and get some either. Maybe there was some vines I could use in the forest.
With that thought in my head I spun around and bolted into the forest, ignoring Zoro's cry of, "Arg! Not you too, Mutt!"
I guess he thought I was abandoning him. Oh ye of little faith, ay?
I ran around blindly in the forest for a few minutes, looking for vines of any sort, and wouldn't it just be my luck that there was no around. There was not anything resembling a vine around that I could see! What now!
I wasn't about to give in the easy so I made a plan B, use a really long stick that would reach over the oil. It might not be as flexible as rope, but if I do it right it should work.
I spent a few more minutes looking for a long branch lying on the ground and found nothing of the sort. Every second that passed I grew more and more nervous. I should be helping! What if they think I ran? Or that I was too scared to fight…
'Damn it to hell!' I swore. In the end I thought, 'Fuck it. If mother nature wants to be a greedy bitch and keep all the good shit that I need to herself, then I'll just have to find another way to get it.'
My eyes snapped straight up to branches that were over my head as soon as that thought came into my head. Of course! If I couldn't find one on the ground I could get one straight from the source, a tree. I spotted the perfect branch; it was bare of twigs and seemed to be straight and long enough for what I needed it for.
The only problem I could see was that it was really high up; higher than I thought I could jump. I didn't have time to contemplate it though, I need that stick and I needed it now. I ran at the tree, launching myself up into the air, jaws first as I tried to clamp my jaws around it. I missed by about a rulers length though, damn! I tried it once more and got the same results. If I was in a human I would be resolved to tears of frustration by now. I need a plan B for plan B's execution.
'Hmm...' I hummed. 'It works in anime…so why not here…?'
My eyes flicked to a tree that was lined up perfectly to the branch I wanted, and a smirk slipped on my muzzle. This had to work, it just had to!
I lined myself up at the right angle and took off running straight at the trunk of the tree within my sight, my tail streaming out behind me like a banner. I jumped just in front of the tree, not slowing down at all and aimed for the middle of the trunk. My front paws hit the tree first and I pushed off of it, throwing my head back, my back legs came in contact with it second and I used the momentum I got from that push off to throw myself up in the sky. My back was facing down to the ground, my stomach showing itself to the sky and I was sailing through the air straight towards the branch. My jaws wrapped themselves around the tree, my body momentum bringing me up and over the branch as I swung around it just like the gymnasts do on their bars. I felt my teeth splinter a few bits of bark as they clung onto the branch through the spinning motion, ignoring the pain as those splinters dug themselves into my gums. I heard the branch snap as my weight jerked down on it, the branch and myself falling straight to the ground in a heap. I jumped straight back up having no time to celebrate my victory, instead I gathered up one end of the branch in my mouth and began dragging it back to the slope.
The whole fiasco of trying to find something to help Zoro took mere minutes, but it felt like hours. I finally got back to the slope and saw Zoro laying at the bottom of the oil, covered in it from failed attempts to get to the top. His eyes widened when he saw me and at what I had in my mouth; disbelief written across his whole face.
'Didn't think a dog could be that smart did you?'
I re-adjusted my grip on the branch so I only had the tip in one side in my mouth, and I lowered the other end through the oil. It came just short of reaching all the way down for Zoro, but I saw him smirk. He then lunged for the end; his hands clamping onto the branch. His sudden weight to the end of the branch caused the instinctual reaction of my jaw closing tighter so that I could keep a grip on the branch, but it caused me to stumbled a few steps forward, my toes stopping as the edge of the oil licked them. I looked at Zoro, his wide eyes staring at my own; that was too close for comfort.
One thing the oil did help with though is lubricating the surface so it was a lot easier to pull Zoro up. In fact, it would have been the easiest part of this whole rescue escapade. Once he had gotten to the top and scrambled to his feet, brushing as much of the oil off his body as he could, he turned to me, a smirk on his face. I had dropped that cursed branch that had caused me so much trouble and I cocked my head to the side at his expression. He just reached forward, placing his hand on top of my head, and then roughly ruffled the fur there in an appreciative pat saying, "Thanks, I'm sorry for yelling at you before. Now, it's time to help the others!"
I was running in between Zoro and Luffy, we had met up with Luffy whilst we were making our way to the slope, apparently he had got lost… Surprise, surprise. I thought that was Zoro's job to get lost at every turn.
What met my eyes as we reached the slope wasn't that much of a surprise to me, I remember bits and pieces of the fight itself. I knew Usopp got hit over the head, Zoro fought two kitty cats and Luffy got hypnotized. Again.
We were meet with a cry of "CHARGE!" as the pirates ran past Nami and Usopp, heading towards the top of the slope, it appeared that they had fail to notice Zoro, Luffy, and myself yet though.
I saw Luffy and Zoro share a glance over the top of my head, before they both got in attacking positions. We were meeting the charge head on?
By this point any nervousness I had before had totally gone, the blood was jumping through my head to the point I could head each of the heartbeats ringing within my ears. I felt weak in the legs and they were shaking, but this time I wasn't scared. It was the adrenaline kicking in, and the excitement. I was ready to fight!
I bolted ahead of the guys, heading for one person that I had line up in my sights. I saw his eyes widen my as he noticed me too late. To him I must have just looked like a flying ball of orange fur, but before he could stop me, I had pounced. My body acted on natural instinct again and I charged full speed into the man, aiming the top of my skull straight for his crotch. Hey! You can't blame me for that, it was a heat of the moment thing. Back in the real world women have it just about drilled in their brains that if they are in a fight with guys that they need to aim for the balls, that's men's weak spot. So my body had acted without me really comprehending it.
I had managed to take down the man as the others around me flew back from Luffy and Zoro's attacks. The man crumpled to the ground in front of me, with a girlish squeal that would have made an opera queen proud. Before he could move again then I had jumped on top of him, my front paws pinning his shoulder to the ground, I then stuck my muzzle in his face and began to snarl. It was a real snarl this time, not one of my warning ones I had used before. My tongue was flicking in and out of my mouth, all of my teeth bared in a feral way. I watched as a line of slobber slipped over the edge of my gums, dropping onto his cheek. If the man hadn't been pale from the hit to crotch he sure as hell was now because he began to whimper.
"What took you guys so long!" I heard Nami huff, her staff over her shoulder.
"What's going on Captain Jango!" the pirates in front of us cried. "We didn't know they had these kind of people in the village!"
"What took us so long?" Zoro hissed between his teeth.
"How should I know!" demanded Luffy. "I just want to kick some ass!"
"Nami!" roared Zoro. "How dare you kick me!"
"Usopp you idiot! You didn't even tell me which way north was!" Luffy joined in with Zoro's yelling.
"I… I didn't know you guys were this strong..." muttered Usopp in shock.
"Of course," said Luffy without blinking.
I snapped my jaws at the man's nose, my front teeth grazing the skin of his nose, but not breaking the surface of his skin. I heard one last whimper from the man before he fainted, leaving me blinking in shock… That was easier than expected.
"You're late," Nami said again. "What took you so long?"
"It was you who made me fall down! And now you're blaming me!" yelled Zoro.
"I couldn't help it!" Nami said in her own defense. "Better one person fall down than both of us!"
"Then you should have been the one to fall!" he yelled back.
"You bastard! You told me north, you didn't tell me which way was north!" Luffy said.
They didn't give up did they? We were standing in front of a heap of pirates baying for our blood and they were arguing. I just stepped off the man that had fainted, my eyes flicking between the faces of my arguing friends.
"It was your own fault for running so fast!" Usopp snapped.
"I was trying to help you!" countered Luffy.
He watched as some of the pirates Zoro and Luffy had knocked down started to get up again.
"Ah! They're still alive!" exclaimed Luffy. "They're pretty tough."
"Listen, we don't have time here!" Jango said to his pirates. "Since the opponent is strong, we must be stronger."
Jango then pulled out his pendulum and said., "Come look at my pendulum! After I say 1, 2, Jango you will be stronger. Your wounds will heal and you will be much stronger than before."
"What's that guy doing?" muttered Luffy, squinting his eyes as he watched what Jango was doing.
"I don't know," shrugged Usopp.
"It must be hypnotism! He's trying to make them think they're stronger!" exclaimed Nami. "This is absurd!"
Zoro and I just stayed silent as we watched what was happening.
"One…"
I started to fidget on my feet.
"Two.."
I tensed my muscles, ready for anything. I didn't remember this fight very well, but I know those guys got a lot stronger. Didn't Luffy or Zoro take them down though? And I knew Luffy was about to get hypnotized as well, this should be fun. Note the sarcasm.
"Jango!" Suddenly all the pirates were roaring, their weapons held up. They weren't the same as before, his trick really did work… I knew it would but still…
"No way!" yelped Nami. "They were still shaking a minute ago!"
One if the pirates let out a cry and slammed his fist into the cliff. I watched with wide eyes as the whole cliff broke apart and fell down. That's not something a normal human can do! I sure as hell was not used to seeing stuff like that; it was scary to watch. I'd better make a note not to let any of the pirates hit me.
"He crushed the cliff!" shouted Zoro, obviously as put out by that display of sudden power as I was. "How did they gain so much power in such a short time!"
"They really have been hypnotized!" yelled Nami.
"If one guy can crush a cliff... Then all those guys…" Usopp started shaking.
"Go!" yelled Jango, pointing towards us. "Go kill those pests!"
With another battle cry the pirates charged up the slope right towards us, they looked like monsters!
"You two, hurry and go up the slope!" snapped Zoro, and Nami started to help Usopp up the slope. "We'll take care of this." Zoro drew his sword. "Hey! Luffy." I was watching Luffy at this time, not the pirates. If I was correct our captain was more dangerous than the pirates at the moment, even if he would never purposely hurt us. Getting no reply Zoro cast Luffy a weird look, "Luffy!"
Our captain suddenly threw his arms up in the air yelling, "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"YOU GOT HYPNOTIZED TOO!" screamed the other three.
"He's not your average idiot..." muttered Nami as I started to shift away from my captain over to Zoro. I didn't want to be in his way when he started his attack.
"Got hypnotized so easily…" said Usopp is disbelief.
The pirates and Luffy were still screaming their battles cries as they charged at each other, our captain ignoring Zoro's calls of, "Hey! Luffy!"
"Gomu Gomu no…..GATLING GUN!" yelled Luffy as he threw out multiple punches towards the pirates.
Most of the pirates where thrown back from Luffy's attack and those who weren't took off running from Luffy as he charged at them. Luffy just ran past them, blindly ignoring them as they dived out of the way. Luffy ran straight at the pirate's ship, grasping the bow of the ship. Everyone watched on in shock, myself included.
"Go Luffy!" I heard Nami cheering from the background.
"WAH!" cried one pirate. "He's taking the bow off, he's destroying our ship!"
With one almighty crack Luffy tore the bow of the ship straight off, holding the gigantic length of wood in his arms.
The only thought that I could process was, 'Gosh damn, I wish I could of done that while I was trying to help Zoro…'
Luffy then tuned his glare at the pirate's that were watching him in awe, and they began screaming, "Captain, help us! He's trying to kill us."
"I'll say 1, 2, Jango and you will fall asleep!" Jango shouted at Luffy, his pendulum in his hands.
"One…" Luffy was swinging the bow at the pirates like a giant bat.
"Two…" It was getting closer…
"JANGO!" Luffy froze at this, his eyes rolling back in his head as his eyes flicked closed. He then fell backwards will the bow landing on top of him, but he still managed to take out a few of the pirates that didn't get out of the road in time. I flinched, I knew Luffy would live, but that still had to hurt…
"Damn kid..." hissed Jango. "Ruined our whole plan… If captain Kuro sees this he'll kill everybody!"
"I think they're finished now," sighed Nami is relief from her place now sitting onto the ground.
"Hey... His head is squished under the bow," said Usopp from his spot next to Nami.
"Don't worry, he won't die from that," snorted Zoro. "First worry about yourself, you're bleeding."
I was still standing beside Zoro at this point, my eyes flickering over the fallen pirates for anyone that would be a threat. It looked like they were all too tired to fight now though, or too injured.
"Hey Buchi! Come look! Our ships head is wrecked!" I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand up when I heard that voice.
Sudden flashes of memory snapped through my brain. I saw two people, one fat and one skinny. They each had parts resembling a cat, and then I saw them both fighting Zoro. Of course, these were the twins where they not? I really hated the fact I only remember bits and pieces of information, it was starting to piss me off. Why did I have to see this anime so long ago!
"What! Wrecked! How did that happen?" I heard a voice a reply.
"Oh, that voice..." snorted one of the pirates who was still conscious. "That's the ships guards, the Nyaban brothers."
"Looks like there is still something on the ship," stated Zoro.
"Oh yeah…we still have 'those two'," Jango smirked.
"What's going to come out now?" hissed Zoro as he got into a fighting position. He wasn't the only one. I was tensing up as well, my lips pulling back in a snarl.
"Heh… Heh… You'll all die," said another of the barley conscious pirates.
"COME DOWN NYABAN BROTHERS!" cried Jango.
I saw two figures jump from the from the front of the ship, the ones that I had remember, the big and small cats. The ones who tried to fight Zoro.
They landed behind Jango as he said, "Hello Nyaban brothers.."
The only thing that crossed my mind when I saw them was a hissed, 'Cats..'.
"You called for us Captain?" asked Skinny
"What's up?" asked the fat one.
"Who're they!" exclaimed Nami.
"Wow, jumping from so high… They're like real cats," Usopp murmured.
Zoro and I just stayed silent, our eyes on the new threats, sizing them up.
"Buchi, Sham, we couldn't pass through the slope because those guys are blocking the way, go and destroy them," said Jango as he jerked a thumb in our direction.
"What! How can we! We can't beat them!" exclaimed Sham, shaking his hands in front of him.
It shocked me. I was getting ready to be Zoro's back-up in this fight, but they didn't want to fight? That wasn't right… I swear I remember Zoro fighting them...
"Yeah, those guys look really strong!" said Buchi.
"What's going on? Aren't they strong?" questioned Usopp in confusion.
"I don't know..." murmured Zoro.
"They both seem scared," Nami said whilst sweatdropping.
"We're just the ships watchmen," shrugged Sham.
"Yea, we don't want to participate in these kinds of battles," inputted Buchi.
"SHAM! NOW!" Jango screamed.
"Eh! Why me!" exclaimed the cat in question
"GO!" Was his only reply.
"Okay, I'm going!" he snapped with tears in his eyes.
"What's going on? Why are they making those cowards fight?" asked Nami. it was something I was also confused about too.
If they were meant to fight Zoro shouldn't they be strong?
"Prepare to die!" screamed Sham are as he stumble in a clumsy run up the hill. "My claws are really sharp!"
"What can you do with those claws?" Zoro hissed, gritting his teeth. "If you don't stop now I'll attack you!"
I decided I should take a few steps back from Zoro, he could handle the pussy cat couldn't he? He wouldn't want me interrupting his fight, so I'll just watch over Nami and Usopp whilst watching his back.
I froze after taking about 7 steps back, the skinny cat got a really weird look on his face as he hissed in a totally different manner than before, "Only you? You can't kill me."
Zoro's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "What!" Zoro only just brought up his sword in time to block skinny's claws. "You…"
"You must be thinking I am a coward," purred Sham. "I was only pretending to be a coward, if I didn't, you wouldn't have let your guard down."
"So he was just acting scared!" yelled Usopp.
"Zoro!" screamed Nami. "Your Katanas!"
"Eh!" he said reaching down to his waist which was devoid of his other two swords. "Where did they go?"
"Looks like you might have a few skills, but you underestimated me, Sham of the Nyaban brothers!" purred the skinny cat in a slimy voice. "What, are you missing something? I don't know where they went."
My eyes widen as I saw Zoro's two missing swords strapped to the skinny cat's back. When did he get a chance to do that!
"There it is," smiled Jango.
"Cat burglar," said Buchi.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Nami, "That guy took Zoro's Katanas!"
"Give me back my katanas!" demanded Zoro.
"Give them back?" questioned the cat. "Isn't your katana in your hand?"
"Oh right, before the battle starts I should get this junk out of the way," said Sham as he threw Zoro's katana behind him on the ground.
I flinched at the pissed look on Zoro's face; he was damn scary when really pissed off. But he needed those Katana to be able to fight to his best… I should make myself useful and got and get them for him, but Zoro beat me and tried to attempt it himself.
"Okay," hissed the cat as he licked his claw. "That's better now."
"Don't treat other Katana with disrespect!" shouted Zoro as he charged at Sham, his one Katana drawn back. He sliced through Sham' s side and kept running straight towards his Katana. He began to reach one hand out towards them saying, "Damn it, how could he treat my katana like this!"
"Did you actually cut me just now?" hissed skinny as he jumped onto Zoro's back, clutching onto both of Zoro's arms. "Too bad I have a very thin waist."
"What!" Zoro snapped.
"That guy, he's actually very thin!" yelled Usopp. No shit dude.
"Go Buchi, it's your turn now!" yelled Sham.
Like hell! Two against one isn't fair! I'll respect Zoro and let him fight one on one matches by himself; after all his pride wouldn't allow him to let anyone else help. But if they were going to bring fatty into this too I was going to help. Two against is fair isn't it. I bolted straight for Zoro and that cat on his back, my paws barely touching the ground as I ran.
"Okay, got it Sham," I heard Buchi say as he started running towards Zoro as well. Zoro fell forward into the dirt, Sham still on his back.
"Cat Technique!" Buchi yelled as he jumped into the air. I knew almost automatically what he was thinking. "CAT-A-PULT..."
"LOOK OUT!" screamed Nami from the background.
"CAT-ASTROPHE!" I heard Buchi yell and several things happened instantaneously.
First, I threw myself straight at the skinny cat holding Zoro down, my shoulder connecting with his side causing him to let go of Zoro and go tumbling off, sending me with him. Second, Zoro, as soon as he was released rolled out of the way just as Buchi's foot connected with the ground right where Zoro's head had been mere moments ago. Third, the force of Buchi's attack cracked the ground and threw Zoro, Sham, and myself back even further.
"Damn!" I heard Sham hiss as I rolled away from him.
Somehow he and Zoro had both managed to get their feet back under them before they had stopped rolling. I, on the other hand, was a rolling ball of orange and white full until my back meet the slope's wall, knocking the breath out of me. I laid there for a few moments, getting my bearings back, and I then carefully hauled myself back to my feet. No permanent damage was done from my meeting with the slope's wall, but I would be sore tomorrow.
"What was that!" I heard Buchi exclaim.
"Sorry, sorry," purred Sham. "Something hit me and I let go."
I then felt both of the cats eyes turn to me, my steel blue eyes meeting their probing gazes. I peeled my lips back in a feral snarl, my tongue flicking out in-between my teeth as my ears dropped back against my skull. I really hated cats at the moment.
"It's a dog," I heard Buchi state.
"I guess we'll just have to take care of it too," Sham shrugged. They then both turned their attention back to Zoro. "This time I won't let him escape."
"Of course," replied Buchi.
"I'm not used to fighting with one katana, but I guess I have no choice," said Zoro.
"Let's do it Buchi!"
"Give it to him Sham!"
"NEKO-YANAGI DAIKOSHIN!" they yelled in unison, throwing themselves at Zoro, scratching out with their claws. Zoro gritted his teeth as he blocked all their strikes.
I began to creep up behind the Nyaban brothers, I didn't want to charge in again and alert them to my presence; more likely than not they'd turn around and skewer me with their claws. I saw Zoro's attention flicker to something and I turned my attention there too, my eyes widening as I saw Usopp shot something towards the Nyaban brothers. Zoro quickly moved so that whatever Usopp had shot hit him on the back of the shoulder.
"He's distracted!" they both cried, and the both jumped forward ready to scratch him across the chest.
Damn, he was in trouble again! I didn't have time to think, I just acted, this time throwing myself at Zoro to knock him out of the way. I saw his eyes widen as they meet mine and sudden I let out a screaming yelp as I felt something tear through the skin on my shoulder and the skin across my ribs.
"Dog!" I heard Zoro exclaim as I was thrown against the ground, my eyes squeezed close in pain. "You idiot! You too Usopp! Do you both want to die!"
'No!' I snapped mentally. 'I don't! And that's why I am fighting! Our best hope of survival at this rate is you! And if you're injured, we'd be in a lot of shit!'
I knew he couldn't hear me but it made me feel better. I snapped open my eyes as a shadow loomed over my form, blocking out the sun light. Above me was skinny, his claws out and heading straight for me.
'Fuck,' I sighed mentally.
I rolled away from where he swiped, flinching as my wounds were pushed in the dirt. I then heaved myself clumsily to my feet, throwing myself to the left to ovoid another swipe. Next I threw myself to right. Bugger, this guy was fast as hell! I needed to keep out of his range. I had nothing to block his swipes with. I had a few options. One was dodging a swipe and biting him somewhere, and risk myself injury whilst being close to him. Second is to make my way to the bottom of the slope and steal a weapon off of one of the pirate, I could then try to imitate Zoro and hold it in my mouth whilst blocking attacks. Eh, I think not. Third, I could slowly make my way over to the cliff wall, get his claws stuck in the stone and attack while he was stuck?
I was then forced to jump away again a he nicked the top of my left ear with his claws. I saw Nami jump onto the slope and start running down towards the ship. What the hell was she doing! The momentary loss of concentration cost me though as the cat caught me with his claws again, only a light scratch this time, but on the left side of my muzzle.
I heard Nami cry out in pain and I flinched. Shit she had gotten hurt, damn! Jump to the left, jump the right, back, left, duck, forward, back, left, back. I was constantly throwing myself out of the way of the claws, faster than my brain could process. My body reacted before my brain had processed it. I also knew that I was moving faster then I should be if I was in the real world. But this was a story right, so I could move faster here then normally possible and it wouldn't matter.
Suddenly the cat in front of me flicked his eyes up to look at something, loosing concentration for a second, I didn't let this opportunity pass me by. I went on the offensive this time, throwing my shoulder into Sham's stomach, causing him to stumble back, I didn't even pause for a second before my jaw was wrapping around his arm in a loud crunch as the bones entrapped in my jaw broke from the pressure. I heard him cry out in pain as I threw myself away from him, blood now dripping down his arm. He hissed and sliced at me once more but I dodged and danced backwards a bit, and he didn't follow me, his eyes were back on something again.
"Ah!... I… Can… Ex-explain!" I heard Jango stutter.
I backed up even further from the cat, turning around to see Klahadore standing at the top of the looking pissed. Oh damn…
"Cat-a-Pult Cat-astrophe" is not the Japanese name, I know. It's actually "Cat the Funjyatta" (meaning "The Cat Stomp"). In Viz and Funimation it's "Cat-a-Pult Cat-astrophe".
Cat-Astrophe: "Grand March of the Pussywillows".
