#4 The Landing Strat and New beginnings

[Scenery]

(The town in the now remaining portion of Mt. Fuji and Tokyo turned into a settlement. Spanning roughly 100-miles across, with a single man-made river running through the mountainside; allowing for easy access to the town. Most of the entertainment section of trading came from this very junction and it oftentimes sat very peacefully within the town are hundreds of shops, stores and cafe's.)

Kimora: (Sliding on the mask that resembles a sleeping dragon face and adjusting her cloak as the wind blows gently.) "So I'm assuming we're going to be passing out these flyers until they're pretty much gone right?" (She says; moreso to herself.) "I doubt he even heard me." (She sighs.) "Ya..totally Xanne. This stupid little mask is going to help not allow my powers to go bananas at the drop of a hat cause I got a little annoyed.." (She rolls her eyes.)

Dantzler: Huh? The flyers...oh yeah! (He chuckles to himself realizing he almost forgot the point of being here as he found himself amazed and excited by the town. It had been a while since he also had gotten off the ship and he was eager to taking the scenery) "Yeah! Xanne said we needed to get some clientele while we're out here. So in order to do that, the best way to do it is a meet and greet! (He says, smiling brightly.) "Although, you know I've never seen you before. So...were you with us when we left Deidra??" (As Kimora is about to respond, Xanne is quietly heard by Kimora through a microphone that seems to be attached to the mask she currently is wearing. It's been ever so gently tucked away that even she did not notice it on the inside)

Xanne: "Tell him we met on Deidra and I had you below the deck working on the engines so we could safely fly. The last thing we need is Dantzler to figure out your mistake from back then...granted, that would make things easier."

Kimora: (Mumbling softly into the mic.) "Don't even joke about that..you know the price." (Before saying aloud.) "Resident mechanic for the ship, Sir. Xanne mentioned the engines needed someone to maintain them during the flight process. Now I'm just up here getting some air. So...might as well help out while I'm here. Besides, if you play your cards right mister, you might get a date out of it." (She begins giggling after she notices Dantzler's light blush.)

Dantzler: "A-are you hitting on me?! We just met! Get a guy dinner first! Anything steak related, please and thank you. Medium rare, with a cup of green tea!" (He says, chuckling alongside her.) "So...sarcastic one. Does the mask come with a name, or shall I call you "Dragon Lady" from here on?"

Kimora: "Ki-..... Kimora Sylvaburn." (Her face at this point is bright red; unbeknownst to Dantzler. As this is confirmation that the mask worked. It's made her a little too excited.) "Xanne, I swear I'll return every last book after this." (She says to herself. Squeaking with excitement they set off into town. They head down the ramp leading into the beach-like area attached to the ship and off into town.)

[An hour passes, and they have arrived into town. It reminds Kimora of a sea of lights. She quickly realizes they are in the ghetto. As the houses are somewhat rundown, and the stark difference between the poor and the wealthy is more than visible.] 

Kimora: "It's so pretty...annnd I'm pretty sure this is the wrong side of town." (As they begin to enter the town, several people seem to be staring at them. A group of five; obviously gang members, step forward staring Kimora down. Dantzler steps in front of her to her defense.)

Dantzler: "We're a little new here in town and we're just looking to pass out these flyers. We're a new company known as W.O.L.F. Any problems you come across we'll solve. Anywhere from changing a light bulb, or bringing down a dragon. For nominal fee of course." (He says, offering a flyer to the gangsters.)

GANGSTER #1: "Well, we are not hiring anyone new here in town. And as you can see, you're stepping on our turf. So you're going to have to pay our nominal fee if you want to make it out of here alive. It's simple, just hand over the girl and no one gets hurt. You can understand that right?

Dantzler: "Okay...I tried to do this nicely." (He puts the stack of flyers he was carrying into the messanger bag slung over his shoulder and places the bag down on the ground. He gets himself low to the ground; similar to that of a wolf ready to hunt.) 

GANGSTER #1: "Don't even try it!" (He reveals a frail looking young woman; whom obviously was kidnapped from the town, only to place a gun to her head.) "Ya know what this is don't cha?! It's an MK 1144! The newest type of laser pistol. Single shot of this moves faster than light and then it's lights out for her. Now hand over th-" (As he continues talking, a knee is swiftly planted into his face. As Dantzler is heard mumbling, "Sheer Speed!") 

GANGSTER #2: "B-BOSS!! This bastard! He didn't even let the boss finish spea-" (The Gangster is cut off mid-sentence. Again, Dantzler heard this time yelling, "Sheer Speed," over them.)

Dantzler: (Taking a boxing stance, he pulls his fist back as if to throw the punch forward. Charging what appears to be a silver swirl of energy traveling from the ground and converging in his fist while pulling his arm backwards and releasing the punch and simultaneously the energy.) "IMPACT!!" (The energy surges forward connecting with the gangster leaving with sounds like a loud firework crackling through the air)

(In the background, Dantzler is seen using a wide range of flips and kicks at inhuman speeds. As he occasionally propels himself off of a wall or ceiling. Lunging at an enemy to bring them down in single strikes.)

(Upon seeing Dantzler begin to activate a known Definition, the frail girl breaks free from one of the few remaining thugs and quickly runs in front of the gangsters. Placing her hands out and closing her eyes. In that moment, Dantzler hesitated as he decided to lower his fist to openly prove a point.)

Dantzler: "Tch! Hey! You got a death wish or something? I get that you're potentially stockholmed, but now's not the time to try to save the people that literally attempted to kill you five seconds ago. So I'm going to ask you nicely move out of the way." (Seeing that the Frail Girl refuses to move. He lets out a very loud sigh and says aloud..) "FINE!! WE'LL DO THIS YOUR WAY!" (It is in this moment, that the Gangster that had recently been knocked on the ground decided to reach for his pistol. As he does, Dantzler happened to catch his movement out the corner of his eye.) "See...this is why we can't trust people...at least not yet. People tend to attack what they fear the most, and most of the-...uhh...excuse me for a second!" (He uses Sheer Speed to run over to the gang leader and kick the gun away from the Gangster then proceeds to stomp on the ground. Causing shockwaves to push the Gangster against a wall, and eventually standing him up neatly.) "As I was saying. Most of the time, people fear what they can't understand and thus they attack what they do not know. I believe this is hubris. People should love people. Heck, people love anything that will give the brain dopamine nowadays."

[1:59 PM]

"Frail Girl" *Girl the Gangster was holding hostage*: "So you're saying that it's impossible to trust anyone? Even though I trusted you with my life just now. You didn't so much as hurt a hair on my head. If that doesn't prove it mister..then what does? That makes you a hero! You know, like one of those good guys in books and video games." (Dantzler is currently giving this person a very confused look, as they continue to ramble on.)

Dantzler: (Talking over her as she continues to ramble on.) ".....Lady...umm..Miss?...PERSON! Name? I don't mind listening to you, but preferably not here when they might get back up. You know, less blood and all that jazz." (He begins to walk away from the area. The screen pans out. Revealing a mass of alleyways and small homes that were put together on one side. Then on the opposite side of the buildings is a very large bridge that leads to a separate section of land connecting to another mountain side. With most of the shops being scattered about and more housing as well, Dantzler is seen heading across the bridge. As he heads across the bridge the "Frail Girl" calls after him saying, "So...I'm Juno!~" *Flirtaciously*)
