Jin knocked the girl back several yards. She lay on the ground for a few moments before sitting up.???: Ow...Jin stood there, looking at her. She looked back.???: Well? Aren't you going to finish me off or something?Jin shook his head.Jin: I'm not sure what you've been seeing in that stone of yours, but here are a few things that you might need to know: I didn't summon the demons, I cannot control the demons, and I'm not intending on conquering or dominating anything.She didn't appear to trust him. He scoffed.Jin: Besides, if I -could- summon them, wouldn't I have done so at the start of the fight?She glared at him for a few seconds before sighing.???: ... You're right.She stood back up, rather wobbly at that.???: I'm sorry...Jin: It's okay. I think I'm starting to get used to people openly assaulting me, now."Getting used to," he thought to himself. "How stupid is that?"Jin: I don't think we've had a proper introduction. I'm pretty sure you already know my name, so, what's yours?Minis: I'm... Minis.Jin: Right. And those two behind me are Kou and Shinji.Jin pointed back to them, noticing that they were still pressing against something.Jin: Did you... do that?Minis: What? Oh, right.She moved her hands in a manner and Jin heard Kou and Shinji fall onto the grass. He looked back. They got up and ran up to him.Jin: Anyway, I'm curious. What exactly are you doing out in the middle of nowhere, Minis?Minis: I've been practicing my magic. I'm getting pretty good at it.Jin let out a hum. He turned back to Kou and Shinji and began to whisper.Jin: What do you think? Could she be of any use to us?Kou wasn't whispering, yet.Kou: What?Jin shushed him.Jin: If we're going to make it back to Tokyo and get out undetected, we're going to need a little magic to help us. Do you think she might have the powers we'll need?Kou began to whisper back.Kou: Oh, uh, yeah, she might be able to help us.Shinji whispered as well.Shinji: What kinds of powers are we going to need?Jin: Let's see what she can do, first. We'll improvise with whatever she's got.Minis called out.Minis: Hey, it's really rude to whisper like that!Jin turned back and resumed talking normally.Jin: Yes, you're right. Now then, I believe I'd like to ask for a favor.Minis: And what would that be?Jin: You see, a bunch of kids have been captured by an organization in order to draw me in to utilize my so called 'powers'. Getting them out will take more than physical force and stealth. What I'm trying to say is: Do you think you can use your magic to help us?Minis: Weeell... I dunno...She looked at him as if she were searching through his words, trying to pick apart any lies that he may have made.Minis: ... Come back to my house. We can talk more, there.Jin nodded. He, Kou and Shinji began to follow her. Roughly half an hour later, they came across a house. Minis lead them to the front door. She opened it. Inside the house was nothing but darkness. Minis said a few words and light came into the room. Jin found a large dining table with a few chairs circled around it. He took a seat in one. Minis sat across the table from him.For what appeared to be an eternity, Jin and Minis talked. They discussed Minis' powers, plans on how to rescue Jin's students, and a little idle chat. Finally, Jin yawned.Jin: I think we should get some sleep. We can talk more tomorrow.Minis nodded.Jin looked over his shoulder. He saw a large open space in front of a fireplace. He stood up. He looked around for Kou and Shinji and found them both asleep leaning against a wall. He shrugged and pointed at the space.Jin: You don't mind if I sleep there, do you?Minis: No, go ahead.Jin walked over to the space. No fire was in the fireplace, but it didn't really matter to him. He lay down in front of it and shut his eyes. Even though he had been asleep for over a day, he felt really tired and fell asleep quickly.--The next morning--Jin opened his eyes and found a fire burning. He looked back to find Kou and Shinji still asleep, so he assumed that Minis made it while he was sleeping. He felt like he should thank her, but, judging by the silence, he knew that she was still asleep. He got up and breathed in deeply, stretching his arms out. He felt a little stiffled, so he decided to go outside for a brief walk.Jin was careful not to make too much noise as he left. He opened the door quietly and stepped outside. He closed his eyes and began to walk, thinking out loud.Jin: From what she said, she knows a few spells related to teleportation. Maybe we can use those to get into the city and out without being hassled. But... can she really handle so many people? And... what would we do with all of them once we get them out? There's no telling where their families are, now. Damnit...He opened his eyes to find two girls in matching outfits. They were both looking at him.Girl 1: Jin. You'll be coming with us.Jin: If it has anything to do with the worms, whatever you're thinking of is a simple lie.Girl 2: Oh, we know all about that. We know that you didn't summon them.Jin: Then... what do you want me for?Girl 2: We want... your power.Jin: My what?They looked at each other. One of them let out a small giggle.Girl 1: So, you haven't noticed anything unusual about yourself, recently?Jin: Nothing other than a bunch of weirdos like you all wanting a piece of me.The other give him a smile.Girl 1: Well, if you come with us, we can explain everything to you.Jin: I'm not going with you.Girl 1: Well, then, I'm sorry to hear that...Strange auras began to form around them. Jin felt the air around him grow colder.Girl 1: If you will not join us, we have no choice but to kill you so that your powers cannot be used against us.Jin: Go ahead and try.---------------------Okay, you know what? I was having some trouble figuring out just what this episode should have been. Originally, I was thinking of fighting a Hauzer, but that idea seemed a little bland. Then, I tried fighting Omega Zero; all I have to say about that is " DAMN YOU AND YOUR UNBLOCKABLE SABER COMBO!" Then I tried fighting Isabeau and I was all like "AAAAAAAAAHHH!" So, following the idea of using Isabeau, I decided to bring up the organization that Kukuru was in. As you can tell, Hiel and Kula aren't exactly like "RAWR!" like Kukuru. In fact, they're pretty balanced. Since I couldn't think of anyone else that I could actually manage, I decided to go with these two. If only I stood a chance against Isabeau...Again, I need to bring this up. These videos... They're not supposed to be me showing off. They're supposed to be a sequence of fights that bring a story together. If all I wanted to do was show off, I wouldn't even bother trying to come up with a story to each of them. You're probably also wondering something like "Why doesn't he fight any really tough/cool people?" It's because it wouldn't really make much sense, a bunch of random people showing up out of nowhere, all of them finding one specific person, and then get into a fight with him. I suppose I could just say that they're all part of some group, but, right now, the thought of a single uber-powerful group that has every badass and challenge you could possibly think of doesn't sound very appealing. Spoiler: There -is- a group that stands out above the rest; it's the one that Death is part of. Right now, though, that group isn't making any actions against any of the main characters, and they might not for a while. So, in the mean time, there will be fights and confrontations with members of other groups, like the group that Kukuru, Hiel and Kula are part of. I haven't thought of a name for the group, yet, though. Oh, well. Seventh Sanctum can probably help give me an idea.Also, search for Crossroads MUGEN and watch the stuff made by Onryou236. He's someone I know, and the stuff he's making isn't too bad. Plus, our stories are kinda supposed to be linked together. They haven't linked together, yet, but they should, at some point.A few dropped frames, like always.Credits: NAO&M for making Hiel and this version of Kula.
