(2 days later in the morning)
Alex: Tim? Sir Tim?
Tim: (waking up) Uhhh..........
Alex: You feel okay?
Tim: Yeah, I do.
Alex: You feel up too leaving for Kyoto?
Tim: ............Yeah, let's go.
(1 hour later)
(Tim is in the dressing room)
Alex: Almost done, Sir Tim?
Tim: Yeah.
Alex: Okay.
(We are then shown Tim putting his shirt on)
Alex: ..................
(Tim patting his hair)
Alex: ..............
(Tim putting his sword in his belt)
Alex: ............
Tim: (coming out) Okay, ready?
Alex: Alright.
(They go see Mr. Taeda)
Mr. Taeda: Oh, Sir Tim, are you leaving?
Tim: Yes........I have to go.
Mr. Taeda: I know why, so I won't stop you, despite a few injuries you still have.
Tim: Thank you for everything sir. I'm deeply in your debt. (bows)
Mr. Taeda: No need. I'm a doctor, so I do what I can to help others in need.
Tim: I wish for your great success.
Mr. Taeda: Same to you, Sir Tim.
Tim: Thank you......Well, we're off.
Mr. Taeda: Farewell.
Alex: Bye.
(They leave)
Mr. Taeda: Good luck.......Sir Tim.
(We are then shown Tim and Alex leaving the village)
Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 12-Magnus:Bandit of Terror
(5 miles outside of town)
Alex: So Tim, what were we given?
Tim: The villagers gave us 1,000 yen and some food for all of our help.
Alex: We could certainly need both, since we still have a way's to go.
Tim: Come to think of it, this area seems familiar from my previous journey.
Alex: It does? Then that means that.....
Tim: We still got a ways to go till we'll be halfway to Kyoto.
Alex: Oh........
Tim: (himself) Don't worry Misao......I'm coming.
(They walk another 2 miles in silence, until.....)
Woman: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tim: What the?!
Alex: It came from up there Tim!! (points ahead)
Tim: Right!!
(They run up about 1 mile till they come to a young woman, about 18 years old, in fear on the ground while staring at a shadowy man with a long sword. At the man's feet lays a headless man with blood oozing out of the hole in his neck. The man is turned away from them and blood is dripping from his sword.)
Alex: That's so......disgusting!!!
Tim: Rotten bastard........Hey, who are you?!
????: ..............
Tim: Dammit, I asked you a question!! Who the hell are you?!
????: .............(The man then slowly turns his head towards Tim and the others and then shakes the blood off his sword and sheathes it) I have no reason to fight you. Please leave.
Tim: What does that mean?!
????: This man was a thorn in my side, so I killed him.
Tim: You had NO RIGHT to kill him, that you didn't!!!
????: I mean it young sir, this has nothing to do with you.
Tim: This has EVERYTHING to do with me!!!
(Unsheathes sword then extends it out) My name is Tim Ouellette, fighter for justice!! I will defeat anyone who dares defy it!!
????: ............I warned you, but now, I shall use my skills to kill you.
Tim: .............
Woman: .............
Alex: Tim, be careful!! He seems strong!!
Tim: Don't worry!! (smiles) I'll use one of my special attacks on him!! (sheathes sword then unsheathes reverse-blade and extends it) Prepare!!!
????: (himself) A reverse-blade sword? Hmmm........
Tim: ..............
????: ...............
Tim: (charges) Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
????: (charges) Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
(CLING!!! They meet in the middle and hold it)
????: So, you're the legendary battosuai, Tim Ouellette?! I've always wanted to fight you!!
Tim: Hhmphhh!!!
(Pushes guy back then when he goes back a little, he swings his sword sideways, but ???? ducks it in time, then ???? points his sword upwards and goes for Tim's face by sending it through his chin, but Tim moves his head to the left in time, then he jumps back then charges with sword being sheathed, then charges with hand on sheathe then jumps up in the air, pulls sword out then goes for ????'s shoulder but ???? moves to the right a little, swings his sword and cut's Tim in the arm a little. Tim get's a little away from him)
Tim: (himself) Damn!!!
????: What's this?! Losing to a swordsman like me?!
Tim: Uugh.......SHUT UP!!!!! (charges, about to unsheathe sword then ???? charges too. When they're about to meet, they suddenly extend their swords out and then point them at each other's faces)
Alex: Uhh..........
Woman: ............
Tim: .............
????: Hmmm........you're good. (sheathes sword) We'll meet again. Farewell. (leaves)
Woman: ..............
Tim: Hmphh!!! (sheathes sword)
Alex: (walks up to Tim) Tim.......you alright?
Tim: Yeah, I am. What about her?
Alex: She seems calm now. Want to talk to her?
Tim: Yeah........I want to know what was going on here. (walks up to her) Excuse me, are you alright?
Woman: Yeah.....thanks.
Tim: It's no problem, just a fighter for justice.
(The woman smiles)
Tim: So, could you tell me what happened here?
Woman: Well........
Alex: It's alright if you don't want to tell us. It's your business.
Woman: Okay.......I'll tell you.
Tim: Alright.
Woman: .........That man was......my older brother.
Tim: ...........!!!
Alex: ........!!!
Woman: The reason he killed that guy was because I've been hanging out with him for 3 months now, and my brother was jealous.
Tim: Who is your brother anyway?
Woman: His name is Magnus........and he's part of something called the Chain Gang or something.
Tim and Alex: Huh?!
Woman: Oh......what's wrong?
Tim: I'm after the Chain Gang as of now.
Woman: You are?! Then does that mean......you're going to kill him?!
Tim: I'll try not too......Wait!! Alex, you should've known about this! What's going on?!
Alex: He must be new. I don't recall anyone like that when I left.
Tim: Do you think he's one of the 8, or....?
Alex: He might just be a special assassin hired by my father.
Tim: .....................
Woman: What are you going to do now?
Tim: I don't know yet..........
Alex: ...............
Woman: ............
Tim: Anyway.........I haven't asked your name yet.
Woman: Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Amanda Suochi.
Tim: It's nice to meet you Amanda. My name is Tim Ouellette and this is Alex.
Alex: (bows) Hello.
Amanda: (blushes) Hi.
Tim: Is there a village nearby?
Amanda: Yeah.......it's one mile that way.
Tim: Would you mind if we stopped for something to eat? While we do that, we can talk over your brother.
Amanda: That would be fine, thanks.
(They then leave. We are then shown someone in the woods. We can't tell who it is because of the shadows.)
????: So, he IS here. Hmmm, and to think, I was able to come here too. Finally......(sheathes sword and points it down) I'll be able to do away with him.......for good.
