Roshi and Astrid; Catastrophic Cat.

At the door to leave the guild building.

"Ok, time to get a move on." Astrid stated.

"Agreed."

On the train.

A few awkward moments pass.

"W-well, since I barely know anything 'bout you 'cept that ya pretty good at fighters, not as good as me obviously, it's time for some flaming ice breakers!"

"What, you got infatuations just cause I beat you in a video game?"

"Beat… Me?! In which world?" Astrid guffawed, slapping Roshi on the back

"I don't know, maybe the one in which you live in a breath." Roshi counter-quipped.

"I won. Clearly. My performance was obviously extremely better. Disregarding that…."

"WHO SAID YOU COULD DISREGARD THAT !!" Roshi angrily whispered, completely disagreeing with her point.

Astrid, however, plowed on through. "Disregarding that, time for some flaming ice breaker editions(dual flame variant). What was your first reaction to the other powers that humans can obtain like teleportation, telekinesis etc."

"Surprise, wonder, and at least immediately, the intoxicating want to be like a superhero in the comics, and to be the strongest in the galaxy. Can't say that fighting Havoc didn't change that idea."

"Pretty understandable.Question number 2. What name do you have for your weapon?"

"Uh, Eternal Blasting Fate."

"You made up with that on the spot."Astrid said, smiling at catching Roshi out with an unexpected question.

"So-o what's yours then huh?" Roshi countered, regaining composure.

"This beautiful saber," Astrid whistled., " is called Hardship. Next question, what goal do you have in joining the fighter league."

"I have someone I need to,.. kick the bucket…. I'm kidding. Reasons classified."Roshi

"Come on,why n-"

Astrid felt a chill down her spine. Roshi looked at her with eyes filled with a whirlpool of emotions, but most of all, a vicious anger, not directed at her specifically, that she knew all too well.

The train stopped, and the duo exited.

Roshi called the mission distributor on his phone, with the person on the other end saying they would meet up with them in a few minutes.

The phone subsequently rapidly folded into a small cube, which Roshi then placed in his pocket.

"So , what's the battle strategy."Astrid asked

"Considering what we know, this cheetah rupture is extremely agile, and it's tail is pretty devastating to get hit by. Best way to do this is too make one person extra mobile, such person being you. If we can lure it into a place that we already have set up, I think that victory is assured. You'll be able to jump from place to place with the assistance of Eternal Blasting Fate over here, and with your light weight weapon, we'll be good. I brought some lard that we'll pour on you to make you be like the perfect prey. There are a multitude of caves around here, so it shouldn't be too hard. If push comes to shove I'll deactivate my weapon and we'll double team it, me focusing on drawing it's attention(with more lard) and you coming in for the fast attacks, aiming mainly at its first of all."

Astrid blinked. "Well if that's not a plan and a half I don't know what is."
