The rains were truly battering down upon Tiger's Paw. It took much begging from the pirates, but the notails had allowed their children to be moved to the safety of the citadel's much higher ground. The notails would not allow the parents though....

"FARRRRRRR!"

Great galehauts, now swimming in flooded streets grabbed pirates from their shanty homes and dragged them back into the sea.

The children were moved before the galehauts appeared. They would not know of the terrors that were beginning outside the walls of the citideal. They would not know that some of them would go home with not a parent to their name.

Inside the citadel the children spotted three AIs, one of which was just as small as them.

"Bobo, you can't fight a giant fish!!!!"
"Actually, it's a giant marine reptile, dad."
"He's right about that."
"I DON'T THINK THAT MATTERS MUCH."
"Why don't you uh...play with the other kids, Bobo?"
Bobo looks towards the group of kids nervously. ("Uh, well....")
"They seem lame."
Caduceus looks between the babies gathered around him, before looking to Bobo.

"Lame? What's got your circuits in a bunch, edgy kid?"

Unrelated to the group, but still with them for the moment due to needing to move away from the flooding, Shadow Wolf K-9 spots a familiar face.

"Oh, no way, Bobo! It's you!"

"I like the shell! Has more flames on it than I remember."
The geiger looks around, before looking up to Caduceus. "Honestly being couped up in here is a little lame. We were trying to scout around earlier."
Sixes nudges Fore. Look! That guy looks like he's from one of those "an-men-ays" she watches!

The young hokkan known as Little Fang follows the geiger close behind, a chamilo-on-a-string hanging from his mouth.

"Squawk! Edgy kid!"
She looks back to Sixes, before looking over to Bobo. "What's that? Oh! Wow!"
("Dad they're all insulting me. This is why I don't like the other kids.")
("You kind of insulted them first Bobo.")
("Yeah, well if I didn't they would have made fun of me anyway.")
"Hey kid," Cadeuceus extends a hand to Bobo, "I realize we may be lamer than you're used to but, if you wanna hang with our crew (we're pirates), you're more than welcome to tag along."
"W-wait, you guys are pirates?"
("Ok, wait, Bobo, you cannot hang out with pirates.")
Bobo takes out his wooden sword. "Don't worry, dad. I won't hang out with pirates."
[Okami Soundtrack - A Great Spirit Lies in Wait]
("Oh great he's doing this again.")
Sixes yips at Fore and L'Fang, tugging at the places they keep their own swords. Come on, show him how cool you are!
"I am Bobo Hotwheels. I did not choose my name, but I hold it true."
"I am a universe stopping entity from hell."
"But even though I have ALL the powers, I don't use them for evil, because Hell is a rightous land."
"Pirates, monsters, and notails will not be excused in my space for the crimes they have committed."

"Uh, actually notails are fine!" Bobo says, remembering the terror of O-6.
"I'll tell you pirates now, to stand down, or......"

"Ah, introductions. Cool. My dad taught me it's good manners to introduce yourself. Shame we missed that part earlier. I'm Caduceus, but my pals call me Cad."
"Oh, you guys have weapons too...."
"I mean, whatever. I'll have you know I am trained by a master swordsman, I can take you on. I'm guessing that this is your crew, Cad?"
"Hey....." Bobo points to K-9. "Is that my aunt?"
("Why did you get Bobo a sword!")

("What.")
("A gun is a more optimal and safer weapon.")
("I'm not giving Bobo a gun.")
"Cad gets to lead us today! We all vote on whose turn it is."
"Pow pow!" Sixes is very excited. If Cad gets them into sword fights with random anime robots that can only be a good thing.
"Sorry it uh...started storming today, Cad."
"Horribly."
"Hmmm...this is weird...."
"I'm sensing very powerful forces from you, Cad."
"From me? Like do I stink or something?"
"I don't think stink is a power force."
"If you won't tell me what you are Cad, I'll figure it out myself."
"I'll have you know I have the power to learn the true nature of everything."
"But you know, I have all the powers so it's not that special."
"W-wait, are we talkin' like a 'glorious trial by combat' type of scenario?"
"Uuuuuuuuh I just kind of wanted to know why all that power is radiating off of you."
"But I guess we can fight."

"Oh, uh, I guess I can sword fight him- as long as his dad lays off it I guess." He spares a wary glance towards Averr.
Sixes gives Cad a reassuring slap on the ankle. He's got this.
"Anyone got a spare blade on 'em?"
"I don't think you should fight Bobo!!!!!!!!!"
"Sniff.....Bobo would totally maul you."
"It's just...a fact."

L'Fang offers his totally real sword to Caduceus.

"A mightier blade, there is NONE!"
"Thanks kiddo." He takes the sword from L'Fang and tests the weight.
"Yeah, but my wooden sword doesn't work like a normal wooden sword. I got it forged by an ancient sword master from the wood of a 2000 year old tree."
("I can't believe you killed a 2000 year old tree.")
("I brought it from the store though.")
"Bobo, don't lie!"
"Fiiiiine. I got the sword from the store, but, I am so powerful, it's like it's a special blade anyway."
"We should be fine to have a quick match then, nothing to the death, just a little warm up."
"I only need one move to win."
"Bobo, remember, moderation."
"No worries teacher, I got this."

Bobo rushes Cad! He edits the power of his blade!

Bobo Hotwheels flips a 2 sided coin. A 2 is flipped.
[Okami OST - Ushiwaka's Dance]
Bobo's blade is blazing with the power of a +1000 attack!
"That's not moderation at all."
Caduceus gasps and reflexively turns into smoke! "W-wait we didnt say start yet!"
Sixes makes sure his dan'gersign Booboo is watching as the two clash. The worm's been really mopey recently, but surely a cool sword fight will cheer it up!
"Woah, that blade is gleaming!"
Bobo's sword hits the floor. A giant crack in the floor rips open and travels towards the zoo. "Woops!"

"I mean, uh, pirates don't fight fair so I'm just preparing for a surprise attack."
"How did you turn into smoke like that? What sort of powers do you have?"
"Tsk. Bet you if I keep swinging I'll find out."
Bobo Hotwheels flips a 2 sided coin. A 2 is flipped.

"I-I've never done that before so I dontknowOHjeez-" He throws his golden tubuchick towards Bobo to distract him.
Bobo Hotwheels rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +1000. An 1008 is rolled.

Bobo hits the tubuchick like it's a ball. It flies into the sky and never comes back down.

"I'm guessing throwing tubuchicks isn't one of your powers."

At least she learned how to fly....

"Whoa, nice swing."

Two gweches, with their cages broken by the impact slink out of the cage, rushing out to follow the cracks.

The first one spots the children, but just coos and grumbles at them.

"Wark! Vile beast!"
"Ack Fangsy! You can't do that to me mate!"
Cad watches the gwech grab L'Fang. "Nature is so beautiful."
She rears back and throws her tubuchick at the gwech trying to grab L'Fang. "Kick its ass Sevastion!"
Fore rolls a 20 sided die. An 8 is rolled.

The gwetch flicks its tail like a whip and slaps Sevastion out of the sky!

"Pow wow!" No stealing family! Sixes attempts to charge the gwech headfirst!
Sixes rolls a 20 sided die. A 9 is rolled.

The gwech proudly huffs as it pulls a single hand out and places it on Sixes' head to stop the charge. Babies! So weak. The gwech thinks.

Seeing his crewmates thwarted, he tries to wrestle the gwech back.

"Weaponize. Children!"
L'Fang rolls a 20 sided die. A 10 is rolled.

It's a clash!

The gwech rolls a 20 sided die. A 9 is rolled.

It is a hard fought struggle, one where there seems like there would be no winners, until finally, L'Fang wrestles the gwech down! It still puts up a good struggle, but it's unable to move for a little bit!

"If you kids need help taking down a gwech you can just ask me."
"One hit with this sword and it'll be toast!"
"As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I dont think we should kill it."
"I wouldn't kill it. I'm not going to hit it that hard."

L'Fang scoffs, and tries to tie up the gwech with his chamilo-on-a-string.

"Prince of Beasts? Help? No need!"
"L'Fang is mighty! I'm lucky to have bested him."

As L'Fang takes out the chamilo, an odd chill spreads. The slap of flesh dragging on tile comes closer and closer.

"FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Alarm bells ring. No one is sure how it happened, but a galehaut had managed to jump the wall and crawl its way here. Its huge body was barely able to fit through even the massive doors.

"...Hey Bobo, didn't you wanna fight a fish?"

"Faaaar!" L'fang peeps.
"Uuuuuh th-that fish is way uh way bigger than I thought....."
"Actually, it's a marine reptile."
"That doesn't look good." Fore runs over, picking up her tubuchick.
"Uh......"
Sixes jumps back at the huge fish, "Pow pow!"-ing all over the place.
"I can...totally take it. No problem. Just watch."
Bobo Hotwheels flips a 2 sided coin. A 2 is flipped.

Bobo charges the giant reptile, his blade set as powerful as he could make it.

Bobo Hotwheels rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +10000000. A 10000016 is rolled.
Bobo's sword not only slices into the fish with ease, but it disintegrates before everyone's very eyes, turned into a fine particle dust. "Hmmp. See? It was nothing." Bobo says with a smirk. He was terrified but excited that it actually worked.

"That was INCREDIBLE! Hail, Bobo the Destroyer- savior of pirates!"
"L'Fang, we still have to train much harder to be as awesome as Bobo."
(" I wonder if it dropped any loot....")
Caduceus rolls a 20 sided die. A 17 is rolled.

Cad finds 50 slime dust on the floor, unlooted by Bobo.

"I want to know if....my dad has the same issues and if so..."
"I want to know how to overcome accidently ripping the universe apart."
Caduceus' gaze slowly drifts towards Cheater.

"That's pretty tragic, here I just assumed that both those guys were your dads."
"Huh?????" Bobo looks back, as if he'd suddenly find his father.

"Uh...what?"
Honestly he could go for a warm meal, he's still a bit cold. And that goofy robot summons food right?
Sixes walks over to Cheater and looks up at him and mimes eating food. He and the other one look worried for some reason, surely some food will make everyone feel better.
"You kids look hungry, how about a meal?" Cheater summons food on a nearby table, too nervous to realize that he should avoid doing this in public. He's still trying to get used to the "accept being nervous" thing.
"Well The Captain does always say to eat everything you're given."
"Don't worry, you only need to eat what you feel like."
"I got a lot of folks I can donate the rest to."

"He might be a doctor, but definitely not a chef. Everything he makes ends up tasting the same. Like cardboard. Cardboard soup."
Sixes comes up to the table with his dan'gersign. He takes some fish, but he also makes sure to feed Booboo. He hopes the worm enjoys it.

The dan'gersign sniffles.....

Hmmm... Sixes has always had trouble cheering Booboo up...
"Yeah my teacher makes the best food. Too bad I can't eat."
"What's your other dad like?"
"He swears he's like a god or something, but he's pretty cool."

Sixes hopes that if Bobo finds his dad that he's very nice and they have a big hug. Family is good.
"Man this is lame. Uh, do you mind if we go play somewhere else."
"Like....away from my dad?"
"Sounds good! Let's bring these dogs too." Cad pets the pink gwech.
Fore pulls Sixes in for a hug, patting his head down. "Sure, we have a lot to explore. Right lil bro?"
"Pow wow!" Sixes holds up Booboo. Maybe the worm can be family too. And hey, Bobo said he had every power right? Maybe he can help make Booboo feel better too.

Sixes doesn't know what that means, but maybe he could just talk--
Bobo Hotwheels rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of -100. A -90 is rolled.

The dan'gersign feels the deepest of saddness it has ever felt. It is so deep, that it gives up, and stops crying.

No one will save it.....why try...

[CRYBABY] IS REPLACED BY [GIVE UP].

"There we go, crying stopped!"
"You can thank me later."
