What a fine day to be alive! The sun was covered by smog, the buildings were rotting away, it stunk of bad fish, and Ryo had already been robbed. Rogue Port was clearly a wonderful place to be! It was then that he noticed a pub, The Swarthy Hog, nestled away in a back alley. Surely this would be a prime source of information! He walked in, questions primed and curiosity peaking, only to hear three criminals discussing their biggest score yet. Well that's just odd. "Excuse me, gentlemen! Would you mind answering a few potentially incriminating questions?"

The three men suddenly turned to the stranger who appeared. "Yeah maybe. Whatcha want?" One answered.

"Do you have any crack cocaine? It's a real problem in this part of town."

A fourth man then approached Ryo from behind. "Yo boss! This guy looks like a real trouble maka! Whaddaya want me ta do wit em?" The biggest of the three men conversing earlier responded. "Rub em out." And so Ryo was hit in the back of the head with a wooden log.

He was quick to dust the woodchips from his hair. You know, after a few rubs to dull the pain. "Hey! That was downright rude! It's not like I was going to make you incriminate yourselves!"

So after six or more hits of all of them swinging a steel girder at once, the soldier finally blacked out. A while later, he awoke in the center of a dark room, tied to a chair with thick ropes. "Alright wise guy." one of the gangsters began to ask. "Who are ya? And whaddaya want wit us?" Other gang members could been seen around the room, armed with various makeshift weapons.

Ryo was going to consider where he was or what happened, but then he was complimented. "Wow! That's the first time anybody has ever called me wise! You even gave me a chair and tied me to it so I wouldn't fall over. And here I thought you guys were rude."

The bandit held up the sword that the gang had robbed Ryo of. "You ain't from around here, are ya?"

His eyes glistened upon his seeing his sword. "You even took care of my sword for me! Gee, I think you're the best friends I've ever had." He paused for a moment. "The only friends I've ever had. But that doesn't matter now!"

So obviously nothing these men and women said were getting through to their captive.
"So whatcha think boss?" One of them spoke up. "His blade might fetch a pretty price, but otherwise he ain't got nothin'."
The leader nodded in agreement. "At any rate, we can't let him get word out to the location of our base." It was then he noticed the snazzy bracelet on Ryo's' wrist. "Hey now, that looks like it'll get us somewhere." The man once again approached his captive.
"Listen up. You give us that there accessory, and we'll letcha off the hook, right?" The other bandits seemed confused at their leader's' sudden change in attitude. Still, they got ready incase Ryo tried to escape. But little did everyone know, an unknown figure was watching them all from the shadows, getting ready to strike.

Ryo held the bracelet up, somehow free of the ropes. "This thing? I've been trying to get it off for weeks. I guess I could-" It was then that the bracelet let off a blinding flash.
Run, you moron.
"Stop calling me names!" After breaking loose of the ropes he grabbed his sword and bolted down the nearest hallway. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a dead end. "Shoot. I guess I've made my friends mad for nothing. I mean, secret clubs are nice and all..."

"Augh! You fools! After him!" The voices of the bandits could be heard as they started searching every inch of the base, However, mixed in with the roars of the hunt, were the cries of being hunted. Back in the starting room, an armored warrior was keeping itself busy meleeing any gangsters that came its way. But enough of that, it seems a small squad of the bandits had found Mr. Shoryu.

"Oh. Hi guys! You found me! Good thing, too. This bracelet sort of possessed me and made me run. Sorry about that." They were not pleased. They didn't look convinced either.
Oh no. You'll have to fight them with an all powerful magic bracelet. Whatever will you do?
"I'm doomed! Oh woe is me!"
...You're screwing with me, right?
"Yes." With the bandits not even five feet away, he threw his sword. It was aimed far above their heads, but like they were going to take chances. They ducked, only for one of them to be kicked in the head. The other was belted into the wall with his elbow. The last one, undeterred despite the rather brutal treatment of his colleagues, swung his blade. Ryo just ducked and gave him a punch in the ribs. "Oh shoot... I think I heard a few cracks."
You probably killed the one you kicked in the head.
"No way. He can just walk it off."
Unless you cracked his skull.
"Hey! It's not like I used my sword or anything!"
Yes you did.
"But I didn't hit any of them with it and that's what counts."

"Hey! Are you alright?" A mysterious man, clad in black, had arrived on the scene, with the feint cries of other gangsters still about. "We don't have much time. Let's get you outta here." He turned, his entire body covered in armor. "That blade's yours right? Might wanna grab that too. Thing looks like it'd snap if hit by a light breeze."

"Hey! I'll have you know that this is one of the best blades in the kingdom!" And upon trying to pry it out, it snapped in half. His eye twitched a few times at this. "Those liars! They said they gave me a real blade this time!"
They wouldn't even give you a real sword? How in the world did I get stuck with you...
"I've been asking that from the start."
