[Pre] Cult of Personality - [Riko vs. Arika] Riko isn't a cultist. Seishirou isn't a cult leader.

[Pre] Deus Ex Machina - [Riko vs. Aislinn] When you're an artificial human, a programmed battle cyborg - there's really not much that can faze you.

[Pre] Weird Science - [Riko vs. Marisol] For most people, being ambushed by ninja is a bad thing. For Marisol, it's a lifesaver. Any longer, and she'd have lapsed into a coma.

[Pre] Tenma's Test - [Seishirou vs. Tenma] Tenma didn't believe Hakuya. He didn't. Hakuya claimed he'd been kidnapped by ninja, dragged all the way to Thailand - and forced to fight for his life.

[R2] [Cut] Sheathed Sword - The second round opponents haven't been anounced yet and Hotaru seems critical of Aranha's methods of fighting (or lack of) in the first round. Of course Aranha doesn't seem to have a problem with winning by giving a girl exactly what she wants. The traceur/capoeirista itching for some action decides to challenge the kempo artist to a spar.

This isn't really a game of Clue, but if anyone winds up missing those books, the finger can be pointed at the right book bandit! Such an odd place for a witch and a punk rock princess to 'hang out' (and that term is used quite loosely in this case), but location aside, it allows the two to figure out if there are favors still owing to either of them. Don't miss the exciting conversation about newts, gazelles and tortoises! - created on 16:16:57 09/02/2007 by Arika and last modified on 10:31:26 09/03/2007. Cast: Naerose and Arika.

[R2] The Tempest - [Arika vs. Marisol] It's a horrid night to be above deck. Stormy, shrieking gale-force winds blasting their fury on any stupid enough to out here. Rain falling in sheets so thick you can barely see more than a foot in front of you. The type of night any sane person would be inside, snuggled warmly in their bed... but no! Ninjas are never sane!

[R3] All-Seeing Eye - [Aranha vs Arika] Looking as though an ink bomb went off, the map room aboard the Suiryuu is a rather 'boring' location for a fight compared to a few others that have taken place. That is, it looks that way until one notices the stylized symbols that begin to move, not only over the architecture, but the fighters as well. With neither fighter knowing what the symbols mean, or what the purpose of them is (or if they're permanent), the battle it out to see who will be the victor.

[R3] [Cut] Truth. Freedom. - The difference between right or wrong can be difficult to discern aboard the tournament hosting Suiryuu.

[R3] [Cut] Cowboy Diplomacy - Prideful, drunk, and angry, Nikolai Tippin stumbles into Soma Travedi in the hallways of the Suiryuu.

[R3] Biometrics - [Aislinn vs Preston] The Round 3 Jinchuu match between Aislinn and Preston Alistair Wellington II is a nasty, brutish, and short affair, much like Thomas Hobbes' view on men in the state of war.

[R3] [Cut] Interrogation - There's a reason why Arika has an agent, and the reason becomes perfectly clear as she attempts to interrogate and negotiate with the red witch.

[R3] [Cut] Measure for Measure - Sakura Kasugano, Security Chief of the Suiryuu. An unlikely choice, really. She's not a professional. And with all the resources that have gone into staging this tournament...why would people as paranoid as Seishirou and Riko put things in the hands of /Sakura/? Good question. Still...Riko, at least, seems confident in Sakura's abilities. She says as much, congratulating Sakura for repelling the assault staged by Mad Gear and Blackjack. But where one attack has happened, others seem likely to follow. Which means, of course, there must be contingency plans. - created on 19:22:26 09/19/2007 by Riko and last modified on 00:23:09 09/20/2007. Cast: Riko and Sakura.

[R3] [Bonus] After Disaster - [Kenji vs. Sada] After Mad Gear's attack on the Suiryuu was repelled, that left Hiretsu with a rather sticky problem. The nearest crane that could remove the truck safely was over two islands and several thousand dollars away. What to do? Order a fight on it, of course. Maybe the fighters will dislodge it.

[R3] [Cut] Following Through - Being very thorough with her job, Sakura stops in to chat with Hotaru to see what the other girl thinks about events going on around the boat as well as to ask her a couple questions with her Chief of Security hat 'half on.'

[R4] [Cut] For What Cause - 'R' men are scouring the boat. Getting control of the civilians is easy. Getting control of a bunch of incredibly powerful fighters, on the other hand, not so much.

[R4] High Seas Adventure - ABANDON SHIP! Except the Suiryuu's only lowered one lifeboat. Just one. Women and children first! Sada's female... and a minor, so she's both. And Zach, well, Zach is kinda short so he counts too. Yet as they drift over the ocean, it becomes very obvious that a little lifeboat is not really the safest place to be. The Suiryuu and Black Noah are shooting at each other, and they're caught in the middle. But this is where they have to fight...

[R4] [Cut] Elegant Witchery - The enemy of my enemy is my friend. With the threat of Rugal hanging over the tournament, the organizers of Jinchuu have reached an agreement with Blackjack. Riko has met with Elle. An...understanding...is in effect. But that matters little, if word hasn't /reached/ the members of Blackjack. Not that any Blackjack member would cause trouble, of course, Certainly not. I mean, that's definitely not Naerose there, just an..."R" soldier in a really bad-fitting uniform. Obviously. And that's not Birdie, can't be, just some finely-dressed dandy of a stranger. Yeah! - created on 14:37:39 10/06/2007 by Riko and last modified on 16:42:40 10/08/2007.

[R4] [Cut] Most Dangerous Game - Badly injured by Hiretsu, Soma emerges from the belly of the Suiryuu with a plan. Fighting down blood loss and fatigue, he steals onto the adjacent Black Noah with one purpose: to ask Rugal Bernstein what the hell the Ryouhara have that's worth stealing.

[R4] [Cut] M0M02000 - Deep in the ventilation ducts, Momo crawls. It's a tight fit here, moving through the very depths of the ship. But she's small. She's managing. And in the process, she's seeing things that aren't meant to be seen. Including something she'd have been better off not knowing. Once Pandora's Box is open, there's no going back. That's something Momo's about to learn. And for Chisel, one of Rugal's men...well, he's about to learn that "R" isn't paying him enough for this. - created on 22:13:30 10/07/2007 by M0M0 and last modified on 17:15:08 10/08/2007.

He'll meet friends and enemies, feel love, feel loss, and in the end, he'll get shot...out of a cannon. Will Dr. Tran survive this unlikely event? What of young Hime, so determined to follow him?

Charged with the task of getting the EMP netting off the ship, Arika and Eva round up a bit of help in the form of Zach. Things start off well, until the second wave of invasion begins led by none other than the scion of Rugal Bernstein. The noisy fight that ensues draws Marisol from her room and with her help they manage to provide adequate distraction while still working on the netting. But someone manages to get away... will he bring reinforcements? - created on 19:14:56 10/16/2007 by Arika and last modified on 19:00:43 10/17/2007.

[R4.5] [Cut] Dream - ...A Little Dream? On her way back with tools to help remove the final portion of the EMP netting, Arika pauses for a cheerful moment of reflection. Big mistake.

[R4.5] [Mish] Operator A - Desperate times, desperate measures. The Suiryuu is under siege, but the best defense is a strong offense ... isn't it? At least that seems to be the logic. That'd be the reason why Agents of Jinchuu have gathered to counterattack the Black Noah. To take the invasion back to the enemy. But to attack the Black Noah, they first have to /reach/ it. It would appear Hiretsu...predicted the need for transportation. Of course, his solution to the problem might not be a comfortable one... - created on 21:16:24 10/17/2007 by Hiretsu and last modified on 08:12:13 10/21/2007.

[R4.5] [Mish] Operator C - The Guardian Kings stage a wild assault on the Black Noah, fired by the Suiryuu's cannons onto the massive carrier's daunting deck.

[R4.5][Mish] Ninja vs Pirate A - The Agents of Jinchuu have boarded the Black Noah. It's not been a smooth landing for all of 'em - but any landing you can walk away from, right? Right. From the main deck of the aircraft carrier, our brave heroes (and heroines) split up into different teams. One group stays behind to wreck Rugal's fighter jets and other weapons that could be used against the Suiryuu. Another goes to find Arika, taken captive by "R", and others that have gone missing. While the final team, Riko, Aislinn, and Marise ... proceeds deep into the belly of the beast, to find and cripple one of the warship's engines. Unfortunately, it would seem Rugal was expecting the sabotage. He's there, himself, ready, waiting. And that isn't the only nasty surprise... - created on 20:45:20 10/18/2007 by Riko and last modified on 08:21:52 10/21/2007.

[R4.5][Mish] Ninja vs Pirate B - Tasked with disabling the Black Noah's armaments, our heroes start wrecking stuff on deck. It's a glorious orgy of wanton property destruction, fun for the whole family. Unless you happen to be "R". A group of invader troops led by Mature and Brian respond to the disturbance, with the express objective of throwing the damn vandals off their ship. A pitched battle ensues - until a startling announcement flashes over the Black Noah's speakers. And in the space of an instant, everything changes... - created on 21:29:46 10/18/2007 by Prime and last modified on 08:32:47 10/21/2007.

[R4.5][Mish] Ninja vs Pirate C - A friend is someone who is there for you when she'd rather be somewhere else. Anywhere else. Certainly not running through an aircraft carrier in the middle of a freaking war zone. But Eva and Naerose know Arika's been captured by "R" - and Himeko's still missing somewhere within the Black Noah. And so they're here. But you know, that's another truism, isn't it? Be careful what you wish for...you just might find it. And as events unfold, bonds of friendship are sorely tested indeed. - created on 21:32:24 10/18/2007 by Acacia and last modified on 08:41:43 10/21/2007.

[R4.5][Mish] Bigger They Are B - As Rugal pushes for a final sweep of the Suiryuu, Elle is reunited with her teammates to hunt down stragglers.

After a brief bout of 'you decide' 'no you decide!', the girls decide to stay and fight for the evil they know once more (at least those crazy ninjas have never locked an explosive device to the diva's neck!). Things look like they may get a little painful for the two young Stars, but the Operations Director steps in to aid them. Unfortunately, Mature swoops in to save the day... though it can be supposed that it's a victory for the Suiryuu... - created on 22:20:38 10/20/2007 by Arika and last modified on 18:26:50 10/21/2007.

And seethe in rage at her ambitions crumbling and sinking to the bottom of the sea. It would appear, however, another of the Jinchuu survivors comes to the Devil of Koga, seeking answers. The policeman will find only pain instead. However.. what new secret is revealed in this confrontation? History passes and new paths unfurl as the story of the Suiryuu draws to a close... - created on 23:34:15 10/23/2007 by Marise and last modified on 04:08:57 10/24/2007. Cast: Marise and Soma.

[R5] [Special] Crowd Control - It spread through the ship, by word of mouth. A meeting, on deck, called by the tournament organizers. A chance to get some answers, perhaps. Like the obvious one. What is the true purpose of this tournament? But for all that's solved, more mysteries are raised. Yet one thing is clear. Jinchuu /will/ be completed. - created on 18:54:10 10/25/2007 by Riko and last modified on 23:28:26 10/25/2007.

[R5] Last Dive - [Tenma vs. Tiffany] In the ruined, flooding engine room of the Suiryuu, erstwhile cabinmates Tenma Kiryuu and Tiffany Lords face off in freezing seawater, dangerously unstable rubble, and ghostly light. Both fighters' resolve and endurance are pushed to the limit in a short, nail-bitingly close fight, but in the end it comes down to...

[R5] [Cut] With a Little Luck - The ship is sinking. There's little time for actual rest. There's a match scheduled shortly, and the punk princess is trying to gather her important things from her cabin. A little heart to heart with Kasugano and suddenly things between the two seem a lot less tense. Could it be that they've come to an understanding? Before that can be answered, another visitor appears and leaves the diva with a mysterious scarf of luck! Can the spirit of Hurricane Hime help her through this? So long as everyone makes it off the ship in one piece (relatively speaking), that's all that matters now. - created on 18:00:00 10/29/2007 by Arika and last modified on 19:34:58 10/30/2007.

[Final] Heart of the People - [Arika vs. Tiffany] The door to the heart of the Suiryuu has been unsealed. In this inner chamber the battle for The People's Champion will be waged, and the massive M0M0 army will form a circle, ensuring that the fighters aren't about to leave. In a battle of absolutely EPIC proportions, only one can come out the winner. Only one can be crowned. Will the match end before the Suiryuu sinks to the bottom of the ocean?

[End] Aftermath - After the battle for the crown has been lost, Arika finds herself in the lower hull of the ship, trying to tidy herself up before finding her teammate. Surprise!

[End] Waiting in Line - Evacuation procedures have begun. Two lines have formed, and wouldn't you know it? Arika's stuck in the slow line with Riko. Watch as they have a real conversation and no one punches a ninja (even though it's being thought about!). Suddenly Bao enters the scene! Okay, so it's only a facsimile Bao, but the outfit is very convincing... and at least it's not another M0M0 clone... - created on 15:47:57 10/31/2007 by Arika and last modified on 10:54:04 11/01/2007.

[End] Autograph - During the fight for the People's Champion, a certain punk princess was asked for her autograph. It's not so much that she'd forgotten, just that she had a few things to take care of immediately after disembarking. An e-mail changes all that, and it's up to her to make her way back to the harbor to give away the promised signature. That's all it's supposed to be. Then Tiffany starts asking questions. Is she going to like the answers she gets? - created on 21:08:23 11/02/2007 by Arika and last modified on 08:20:49 11/07/2007. Cast: Arika and Tiffany.

[End] Reunion at the Pier - Being on a wrecked, sinking ship at sea in the aftermath of a pirate invasion is rough. But what about those back on shore? The ones who can only stare out to the ocean and hope friends and loved ones will be coming back home alive from the explosion that lit up the horizon?

And it's there she is reminded that for as bad everything went, being truly missed goes a long way toward making up for it. - created on 23:58:32 11/05/2007 by Hotaru and last modified on 08:20:58 11/07/2007.

[End] The Day After - Though they all survived Jinchuu, the three members of the Guardian Kings made it out the worse for wear.

[End] Pressure - In a secure facility deep in the bowels of the industrial district, Adelheid Bernstein is being held as a prisoner of the Jinchuu fallout. There, as her last act of Security Chief, Sakura and Seishirou interrogate him. Though.. that turns out to only be half the story. Afterwards, Seishirou thanks Sakura. In his own way.

[End] The End? - Long after Jinchuu has ended the scars it left have finally healed, this ship is sunk, the posters faded and peeled and the nightmare is finally forgotten.
