I love how the Yakuza boss the Kusanagis saved spoke up for Motoko, then came the princess and Wakako... Now if this pattern continued...
The meeting was winding down when the door opened and in came Maine and his crew, minus Sasha.
Rebecca piped up, "We heard Motoko was in a pickle so we came here as character witnesses... or to take care of any witnesses. Whichever."
"Oh, you guys!" Motoko smiled.
"Hey, I heard our choom was in trouble so we stopped by to make sure things are good," said Rita who was leading a large contingent of Mox.
"Thank you!" Motoko was glad she had such good chooms.
"Hey, hermanita," said Jackie who came in with a very armed up V, "Just making sure as well. Oh, and that troublesome gonk you guys are after? Padre said he's willing to cough him up so he can fight the guy he's got beef with. Honor duel or something like that, if that works for you guys."
"We have an arena ready if you need it," said that Maelstrom girl Motoko saved, who came in with a bunch of her very nervous chooms. Motoko tried to remember her name. Gearspin or something like that?
"I still haven't forgiven you guys," the young solo stated.
Gear girl tossed a bag at her feet that opened to reveal the severed head of that spider ripper doc that took her arms.
"Okay. I forgive you now," Motoko nodded.
"There was a bounty on him. You want it?" asked Inspector Stint, who looked like he'd always was leaning against the far wall, "I mean, you did help our department out and didn't ask for anything."
"She also helped us out as well," said Scorpion as he and the Nomad contingent waved to Motoko, "so we thought one good turn and all that."
"Hey, Motoko," chirped Hiromi as she almost skipped through the door, "so, I pulled a few strings, and well..."
Motoko didn't say anything. She just looked behind her choom as Adam freaking Smasher stomped in through the door.
A shot rang out and everyone turned to see Moritaka slump dead and bleeding onto the ground with a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head; having taken the quick way out.
The silence was broken by a smiling Motoko as she clapped her hands, "That ends that unpleasant portion of this party. Now who wants what kind of pizza?"
