...no, no, nonono...
Hee-hee! Gotcha, didn't I?
Stupid little...Get lost, freak! I know what I'm doing, and you don't wanna piece of me!
Maybe I don't, hee-ho...
But tell me this, what brings you here-ho?
Y'know, don't answer that, I can see it in your eyes. You're here for adventure!
And sorry to say, but that's a waste o' time! Not a baddie but those buckets of bolts in sight, and not many to home, hee-
...!
...trying to pull a fast one on me, hee-huh? Had a feeling!
Well, might as well skip straight to the point and do the same to you, hee-ho!
What do you-
Amazing how you might not know someone's right next to you until they shoot a bunch of transparent rocks at you, huh?
WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!?















(I've been training every day since then, so that I may return and best Ryo Sakazaki in single combat... If I can defeat this big-nosed master, I'll definitely be powerful enough to defeat him!)
A dame like you needs more pep in her step! Your precision is okay, but it won't be enough to even touch me!
What!? A red-headed demon warrior behind you!
Huh?
(How could Pops let his guard down to something like that?)
Now! An opening!
Hmmmm?
... (She knew he'd deflect any ambush, so she used an attack with a follow-up to grapple him. Not bad...)
Haaaaah!
What? He's... gone?.. Or... perhaps I never threw him down in the first... place...
Kasumi!
!?
!?!?!? (M-my arms aren't responding to me any more!? How powerful was that strike!?)
Not too shabby. You could probably give Ryo there a good fight. But they're three things you're missing.
!?!?!? (He did this on purpose... I can't use my arms to counter anything anymore.)
Training, experience... and grit.
Ugh... Ryo, what happened when I got knocked out by-
EEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLLL!
Robert? Sheesh, what's gotten into you? You look like you've seen a ghost.
"She"...?
...You know how he is when he gets like this, Robert. Besides, I thought you'd be happy to see him making money and publicity from resources other than your company's fundings. Right outside our dojo, too.
I'll try to get him to reign it in.
Hahahahahah! Now, who else wants more?
Don't you think you overdid it with that last attack?
Ah, those were only love taps! I swear, you youngsters nowadays are snowflakes...
F-father... I... failed you...
Dad--
Notyourdad.
Whatever. Enough is enough. We'll already get a ton of disciples from today, so we should call it quits for now. You may end up hurting someone, or even yourself. You can't risk reinvigorating one of your old woun...
...
...Drgh. You really are a stubborn old man aren't you?...Fine. Have it your way.
...
...Hmph! What does that wise guy know?
For a geezer like him, he can be such a kid under that mask... Sorry, Robert. I did what I could. I'm gonna go see what I can do about Kasumi here.
