::So guys, there's this Gym with a sign reading 完全なボディイメージチェンジ阿修羅アスレチッククラブ (The Complete Body Image Change Ashura Fitness Club). And well. There's something odd in front of it. You see a boy of around 5'2" dancing and bobbing and weaving against two giant monsters.

One happens to be a knight with swords, axes, spears and maces attached to it. It's compatriot happens to be a giant fellow in red armor who keeps shooting its hands, which the boy keeps dodging.

Perhaps you'd like to help them?::

::Hit successful, the fist manages to fly off course into Sword Breaker, exploding in his face.::

What the hell!?

::Gruff manly voice.::

[observershikou]

*meanwhile is trying to unstable Sword Breaker by sweeping the spear under them at their feet.*

[arknpcs4]

::And they trip and fall, as their mace flies up into the air, slams into their transformation belt. Oh my.

As it shorts out, you find a bulky meathead gym trainer pinned by said giant mace, their eyes spinning.::</

[arknpcs4]

Hey, how dare you do that to Kaz, you little runt!

::ROCKET FISTS.::

[observershikou]

Oh, yes, certainly, how dare me, defending the one you're attacking. I'll be certain to send him a formal apology later.

*he attempts to deflect again. you have a pattern, obviously.*

[arkircpeeps]

... You're kind of cute when you're sarcastic.

[arknpcs4]

::The fist whirs through the back and forth wildly, exploding.::

[observershikou]

Maybe I should be a bit more often, then.

*tries to see if there's anything similar to a belt on this guy, since the other one seems to have shorted his.*

[arknpcs4]

::Right on the waist, yes. With this really stupid Manticore icongraph that looks retardedly familiar.::

[observershikou]

*well let's use the spear to stab it.*

[arknpcs4]

::It shorts out, and explodes, and you have another passed out body builder.::

[arkircpeeps]

... You don't have to be such a showoff, even if it's hot.

[observershikou]

Oh, you thought I was showing off? Sorry about that. I'll tone down my actions next time.

*puts down Suzume, and goes over to one of the passed out guys, staring down at them*

Though, this certainly annoys me a bit, that they attacked you like that.

[arkircpeeps]

Not like I expected to be unarmed, you know. But yeah, a little suspicious they attack a former customer...

[observershikou]

Perhaps they realized you were suspicious of them, given how you look now, of course.

[arkircpeeps]

... Run that by me again.

[observershikou]

They realized they've done something "wrong", and are making sure you don't try to attack them for it, or find a way to get fixed back to normal.

*he crouches down, trying to get the belt off of the nearest guy. probably the Guantlet guy.*

[arkircpeeps]

::Yes. And it snaps off rather safely.::

... Looks like something from a kid's show.

[observershikou]

Does it? I wouldn't know, to be honest... Here. Hold it while I get off the other one's belt, as well, since they seem to be how they became monsters in the first place. *he hands over the belt, and goes to get the other one off*

[arkircpeeps]

::Looks at it curiously.::

What is this? A cat with... wings and a stinger...?

::Pointing to an big glyph on the belt.::

[observershikou]

Wings and a stinger...? Ah, I think Juudai had mentioned something like that, that he was trying to look out for. We should try to get these to him.

[arkircpeeps]

Yeah, we should. But I think you broke them. So not like we could use them.

::Shakes, you definitely hear broken shaking parts.::

[observershikou]

True. But something is better than nothing, if this has been more than a solitary incident.

*glances down at the people after he gets off the second belt*

I'm uncertain if I should prioritize questioning, or leave it to a more well-prepared assault and leave.

[arkircpeeps]

Well they had to turn us into guys somehow. So, that implies they probably have something, and they might get suspicious to why their guys haven't come back.

So tactical retreat?

[observershikou]

Yes, indeed. Let us leave.

Do you want me to carry you, or are you quite able to walk?
