Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"That's a bit.... pathetic, not to mention that I'm starting to like Nono more than him!" Riri said not sure what else to say as she hoisted Ranma up a little and kept on walking, "So, he just made this bet out of the blue, just cause he knew a tournament popped up and thought he could wring some munny out of you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melony facepalmed before Ares snickered a little at his brother's statement towards Neli. Audri smiled at Neli as she let go of Zero's hand, "That's our friend Monty's brother! Neli, I'd like you to meet Dimitri, Ares, and Melony."

"So, nice to see you guys again, I suppose..." Ares said as he shifted his weight to his other foot while Audri glancing at the group a little annoyed, "I guess so." "See anything new on your trip?" Melony asked trying to be the nice one while Zero looked at the Twilight group a little surprised but with a hungry gaze in his eyes.

 

"I dunno, it'd be even funnier if her match was against some lame-ass moron and lost," Riri said trying to not grin at the thought since that would mean she'd have to try harder to get into the finals as well.

"Though we should worry about the matches at hand, and this cruddy bet." Riri grumbled as she kicked the moogle into the air and caught him on her head as she walked to the next area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That must be fun!" Melony said smiling while Audri shrugged, "I suppose so, not fun when diseases are taking over your body though."

Someone tapped Audri's shoulder making her turn around seeing Scarlett standing there with a bloody nose. "Are you feeling ok Scarlett?" Audri asked while Scarlett giggled before she pointed behind her in a gesturing way, "The hot stud wants to talk with you."

Audri looked at the two confused before peeking around them to see the person waving to her smiling before he went back to talking with Lizabeth. "Oh, looks like Xenlo got back in time for the matches." Audri said as she weaved her way past Scarlett to go say hi to her grandfather.

"Then i'm not going to talk to him then," Riri retorted as she noticed Zero running towards her with a grin on his face. "RIRIIIII~!!!" He cheered as he charged forward tacking her to the ground, taking Ranma and Monty with her as well.

"GAH! T-too heavy..." Riri groaned while Zero got off of them and grinned, "Stupid but cute sister!"

~~~

"Yeah, but he really isn't that bad as the stories sound!" Audri said cheerfully while Scarlett stayed behind with Neli and glanced at the Twilighters, "So, are you guys in the tournament as well?" Melony looked at her curiously, "What did Kinta mean by-" "It's a very long story that I really REALLY don't want to get into," Scarlett said scratching her neck remembering how Kinta was talking to himself and got offended by whatever the hell she was making fun of him about.

Xenlo sighed shaking his head while Lizabeth gestured to him as Audri and the others got closer. He whipped around and smile holding his arms out, "Audri, nice to see you made it out alive!" "You left me alone with a person in the sack you old gimp!" Audri said in a cheerful manner as she gave her grandpa a hug, besides their harsh manners.

"I'm sorry, but you kind of wandered off on your own back there and I tried to look for you though!" Xenlo said as he ruffled her hair before glancing up at Kinta taking a notice in his appearance.

"I would be taking it that you would be Kinta, right?" Xenlo asked as he scratched the back of his head while Audri let go of him and smiled up at her grandpa, "He's the one that I was telling you about and he's really nice to me!" "That's good to hear, I'd be pissed off if he didn't take care of my granddaughter right," Xenlo said with a small smile on his face while Lizabeth crossed her arms over her chest with a smug smirk on her face, "You are some effed-up fruitcake."

 

"I'm not spazzy!" Zero snarled at Ranma before turning his attention to Riri with a smile on his face, "You're not dating anyone like a idiot like this human, are you sis?"

"Dating? Please, last time I tried dating anyone, I almost got skinned alive, experimented on, and the engagement was cut off because he was a freaking loon. And they were all three different people! I don't I'll be dating anytime soon," Riri snapped while Zero glanced over at Ranma with a cocky grin on his face. Riri looked down and pulled Monty out in between her and her brother before sweatdropping, "Sorry dude that you had to get squished."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What?" Melony looked at the girl confused on what she just said while Ares looked a little irritated, "Ok, now I'm pissed off." "Hey hey hey, it wasn't her fault! Really, it... couldn't be helped?" Scarlett said jumping in front of Neli a bit taken back by what she said as well, but trying to not laugh at the robot's comments.

"Alice is just young because she changes her appearance and uses spells on herself all the time. I had just jumped in a few too many time periods that it stopped my body from aging. It bad enough that my hair grows too much at a time," Xenlo said as he pulled on one of his four wrapped-up braids of hair while Lizabeth sweatdropped, "Now that I think about it, you never said why you were here though."

"Quite right, I just came by to see how my tournament is going on," Xenlo explained while Audri cocked her head to the side, "Wait... YOUR tournament??"

 

"Yeah right you dumb brunette!" Zero growled threatenly at Ranma before Riri whapped him on the head, "Stupid brother, be nice!" "Yes m'am.." Zero said blushing a little embarrassed.

After Monty's comment, Riri smacked the moogle on the head blushing, "Now I find that REALLY offensive Monty! I mean, I'm probably a size 34C at the least..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That still doesn't mean that she has to be rude about what we already know," Melony said while Ares commented back, "You tell them Mel- Wait, what?! I'm not an idiot!"

"Survey says you pretty much are," Scarlett snickered as she patted Ares on the head, making him slap her hand away from his hair.

"Well, I asked around and they said I could hold a tournament for the hell of it!" Xenlo said smiling while Lizabeth sweatdropped, "Something tells that you probably bribed them with munny.."
"Munny? Oh please, I was so damn poor at the time when I asked that I couldn't even be considered a hobo!" Xenlo said while Audri looked at him confused, "You threatened someone didn't you..." "For the record, I was out drinking at the time with my brothers and they were encouraging me to do it," Xenlo said rubbing the back of his head while Lizabeth facepalmed, "For the love of...."

 

"Damn it! Well, I can't really drag you over there right now," Riri whined as she looked around trying to think of a way to get Ranma over to the other area. Unless...

"Zero, I know that you hate Ranma, but I need you to drag him over to the other area!" Riri said point over at the white-haired fox who stood there with a grimacing look on his face, "But Riri..." "No buts, just... please get along for once!" Riri said as she dashed back to the other area. Zero just shook his head before glancing over at Ranma, "Do you wanna go watch or just hang here?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sure, might as well go check on who's going to lose this round," Lizabeth said as she rubbed her shoulder. "I'll catch up with you guys later. I have to talk with Audri about something else first. If you will Audri..." Xenlo said as he gestured to the side, as the young blonde followed suit after her grandfather.

"Sooo, How about we go see Riri's match then?" Scarlett said trying to lighten up the mood while Ares sighed calming down a little, "I'm up for it." "Me too, come on Dimitri!" Melony said cheerfully as she grabbed her hand trying to pull him along.

 

"A combat mage? Tch, how disappointing," Lizabeth groaned as she pasted them to go into the other area. Zero glared at Ranma before sighing, "Fine you stupid, ignorant prick. Come on then.."

Zero went over and instead of dragging Ranma with him, he slings Ranma over his shoulder and keeps on walking like his weight is nothing on him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scarlett and everyone else pretty much went to the next area. In the meanwhile, Riri was dashing into the area that she almost trip over her own two feet and did a faceplant.

"I hope that no one was around to see that.." The fox girl said rubbing the back of her head embarrassing herself enough for one day as she got back to her feet. "No, we saw you fail if it makes you feel better." Xenlo and Audri said as they were standing by the side making the girl jump back and curse under her breath.

 

"I'm not that scrawny! Besides, I just wear bigger clothes so people don't think I can do stuff like this... I think the heaviest I can go are probably, I dunno... buildings maybe?" Zero said shrugging his other shoulder as he made his way into the other area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wait- crap crap CRAP!" Riri panicked as she ran out of the way of his shooting range before shaking her head, "Well, I won't hold anything against you!" As Riri reached to her side for her whip, she noticed it wasn't there and almost threw a fit, "Where the hell did I- Oh yeah... I forgot it on the ship."

Audri facepalmed from the sidelines as she saw what Riri was doing while Xenlo pat her head, "So, you sure you want to say until afterwords?" "Of course! I... have to talk with them both before I go at the least so I can tell them what to do... or expect at the least," Audri muttered as she saw Scarlett and Neli with the Twilighters enter the area.

 

"Yeah, that would be pretty weird. The other thing that we are also good at are hiding bodies so no one could ever know whatever happened to that person," Zero said glaring over at Ranma slung over his shoulder as they reached the area and saw the others watching Riri's match.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This isn't fair.... at all," Riri groaned as she was trying to recover from dodging the bullets while Audri laughed from the sidelines, "Out of shape I suppose?" "A little, but I'm not out yet!" Riri said as she bolted for the boy aiming for him arms as she fought back hand to hand combat.

"She's charging in with the momentum to improvise, I kind of don't see this going well," Ares said while Melony finally let go of Dimitri's arm, "Who knows, maybe she has a plan up her sleeves!"

"We'll just have to see how things turn out and hope for the best in our favor," Scarlett said as she played with Neli's hair. "Just shut up you ninnies and watch the match," Lizabeth said as she clung onto Kinta like a cat to a curtain.

 

"What about all this walking?! I carried you all the way here!" Zero snapped at Ranma as he made his way to the stands to find a seat.

"Nooo, stop trying to push me away!" Lizabeth whined as she kept her grip while Melony giggled a little, "How come you don't take hints and get lost?" "Where's the fun in that?" Lizabeth said glancing back at the girl annoyed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riri jumped back a few steps and barely dodged the bullets as it got her in her calf and grazed against her cheek. "Dude, how MANY guns can you have on you?!" Riri said a bit frazzled that this guy was pulling guns out like they were daisies from the ground. "Oh well, no time to complain I guess," Riri grumbled as she went back to dodging the bullets the best she could.
