I'm always glad to see more of this store. Thanks for the URL.
"It doesn't have {too : to}!" snarled Venom as he moved in on Goblin from
behind.
"I was gonna nail that creep, but Spiderman beat me {too : to} it."
Carrot looked around and realized that four of the combatants were
preparing some sort of energy attack. "Oh shit. Time to hit the dirt." He
dove for the ground just as the fireworks started. A war zone of miniskirts
and explosions was happening all around him, and it wasn't nearly as cool
as it should have been. A terrible fear of dying while crawling across the
ground on your belly did wonders to suck the enjoyment right out of it.
It's nice that we can always count on Carrot for a sensible perspective.
"Mostly? Who the hell was voting for the other two?" grumbled
Carrot.
There's always the French.
"Oh. Hi{: ,} Kei," said Carrot dumbly as he waved his hand at her.
Venom snagged the boy out of the air and used him as a projectile.
Goblin was preparing to toss a bomb and dropped it as they collided. Carrot
tumbled towards the ground and didn't react fast enough. Fortunately, {: he}
bounced off several boxes on the way to the floor. "That wasn't so bad," he
muttered irritably. Goblin crashed his glider into one of the walls of
boxes after being unable to regain control after the impact. He hit the
concrete pretty hard, but the boy doubted if he was seriously hurt.
"There was a time you might have saved me{: ,} Usagi. I'll bet you would
have just watched me fall. Are you sure that's what you want?"
Kei tossed the now broken chunk of board away and dusted off her
hands as she cocked her head and looked at him. "Hmm. Seems I've caught
you. I'll return the favor and take you somewhere I can take your clothes
off." She hefted him over her shoulder roughly, making sure to elbow him in
the chin as she put him in place. "This place is a mess, you caused quite a
bit of damage. I'm almost grateful {too : to} you for freeing my clan. However,
there is still the matter of my curse." She rummaged around in her shirt
and pulled out a syringe. After taking the cap off with her teeth she
injected it into his leg and calmly walked towards the shadows.
He still couldn't see Kei, his vision had cleared up considerably.
He now knew that he was handcuffed naked to a table in a barren concrete
room. He was in a torture chamber. His feet were chained to the bottom of
the {chair : table}, and his handcuffs were attached to two thick iron rings at the
head of the table. Plus, he was naked. This was going to suck.
It always sucks to be him.
The men noticed what he was looking at and actually chuckled.
The one on the right spoke up. "Go ahead and pick it up kid."
Since Kei's mother was the only one who saw him use it before, they
don't think he can use it. How well known is the blade's curse/power?
That was something to be dealt with later though. As it was now, he
had an open window right next to him.
I guess he's used to jumping out of tall buildings by now.
It's interesting that he trusts Michiru enough to collapse on her
doorstep.
