Watering Hole- Battle for the Beer! Aian and Reiki

Aian watched as Reiki took down one of the overall wearing drunks, but was shot by the second one. Aian ran up to the second drunk, and jumped up behind him to attempt and land a successful heel drop and knock him out for good for the evening. However, the drunk managed to dodge in time and turn around firing a magic load of bullets out of his shotgun. Aian used his shield to block; though it stopped most of the spread fire, Aian was still struck by a few stray bullets. Aian then heard the one mercenary of the group begin to fire, releasing a load of assault rile bursts towards his direction. Aian managed to run and avoid the fire as much as possible, dodging his rounds.

Being distracted by the assault rifle bursts, Aian didn't notice the five mages get to gather and attempt another volley attack. Each one of them, one after the other, launched large dark magic spheres at Aian; each one homing in onto his location. Aian looked however just in time, to see the spheres racing towards him. Continuing to dodge the assault rifle barrage, Aian used his shield to block three of the dark spheres before his shield was destroyed. Aian leaped ahead to dodge the fourth one, but was struck by the fifth and sent rolling onto the ground. The mercenary had stopped firing at this time to change guns; pulling out a rather large machine gun.

Ah no you don't!!! Uryuu said, charging the mercenary head on. He swung his lightning tail at him. The merc put up his gun in defense, but was pushed back three feet by Uryuu's strength. You guy's deal with those mages! Leave the sober one to me! Uryuu shouted as the merc focused his attention on Uryuu.


Reiki slammed his hands to the ground, calling forth his magic circle. Ice Dragon's Mountain Pillars! A stream of ice pillars shot out from the ground at the mages. All but one dodged, the other took the attack, blocking it but receiving minor damage to his arms from the blunt force of the pillars.

The mages then retaliated as quick as they could, all five of them focusing on Reiki. They each summoned forth dark blades and sent them flying towards Reiki. Reiki grabbed all the sword's and threw them to the side, trying to keep his armor intact for as long as possible.

Aian watched the shinigami go towards the one hired mercenary while Reiki attacked the five mages who had been recently attacking Aian for the past while. He appeared to have missed most of them and block their retaliation. Aian held out his right hand, a magic circle forming on his elbow and flowing down five feet forming a singled edged broadsword with a blunt back. Aian then proceeded to charge at the mages. The mages began floating in mid-air preparing another barrage of attacks. Aian jumped after them, and began swinging at them all with the blunt edge of his blade, hoping to knock them out; using the bodies he just came into contact with to rebound to the next target.
(The first set of attacks are Aian, while every other set of attacks are the mages attacking him. The Pattering of attack being= Aian-Mages-Aian-Mages-Aian-Mages)

Aian slashed downward towards the first mage, the mage dodged to the right and began forming an three dark blades. Aian was able to dash towards the mage and jump off his body to the next target, though triggered the mage's attack and was struck by all three blades in the back. Aian kept on going, slashing to the right this time and missed the second mage who had ducked down and charged up a energy sphere. Aian jumped off that mage and again triggered the spell and was struck at the bottom of his feet; launching him upwards. Aian came racing up to a mage charging up what appeared to be another energy sphere, Aian rolled in the air as he flew and struck the mage directly on the head and sent him spiraling downwards towards the ground. Once the mage landed, he fired a beam of dark energy the launched Aian higher into the air. After shaking off the beam, being dazed for a few moments, Aian rolled about and dove for the next mage. Aian swung down overhead, but the mage dodged to the right and charged up a fiery ball in one hand, and quickly threw it at Aian. The ball exploded and launched Aian backwards yet towards the next mage. Aian turned around and performed a heavy swing from the left-clipping the mage and throwing them into the ground. That mage then threw a dark fireball at Aian that knocked him out of the air and spiraling towards the ground. Now with two mages back on the ground, Aian rolled and landed right side up, then prepared for a second attempt at knocking all five of the mages out.

Aian jumped back into the air, cringing slightly from all the damage he had just taken, and activated the one thing he wanted to avoid for a while-his armor. "Iron Dragon Body!" He chanted, a magic circle flowing over his body and covering him in a flexible Iron Skin coating. Now able to be shielded from the magic better, Aian went back to attacking. He went in the same order of mages as before: Aian this time flew towards the first mage, and punched him this time in the stomach hard enough to get him to fall towards the ground. As the mage fell, he tried to launch dark blades again, this time however the blades missed Aian flying past him. Aian landed on the ground with a loud thud, and performed a heavy back-flip towards the second mage. Aian rolled over the mage and managed to kick him towards the ground while pushing himself up. The second mage waited till her landed on the ground before throwing a sphere at Aian which collided to his stomach making him roll as he ascended further into the air. As Aian rolled he spotted the third mage and made a dive for him. Aian attempted a diving punch, but the mage flew backwards making him miss. The mage once again shot a beam like energy mass at Aian, this time the armor absorbed most of the damage and Aian didn't move an inch from his spot. Aian then went for the fourth mage, leaping up towards him and performed a rolling kick that connected and launched the mage to the ground. The mage charged up a fiery blast again and threw the dark corrupted fire ball at Aian, having it explode just before colliding; throwing Aian back into the ground. Aian came to a skidding crash, but got up and went for the last mage, charging at him. The mage began charging a fire ball, but Aian dove towards him and shoulder tackled the mage into the ground. The heavy impact knocked the mage out and canceled the spell. Now with four mages to go, and his armor wearing thin, Aian had to end it quickly before they had a chance to counter attack.

The mages gathered together, and began chanting and forming a large ball of dark energy with a large magic circle. The runes along the outside of the circle slowly began filling in, increasing with speed as they continued to chant. Not liking the looks of things, Aian took in a deep breath and cupped his hands against each other in front of his mouth; forming a funnel. "Tetsaryu no..." He began chanting, as he took aim. The runes were about to complete as Aian launched the attack; "Hokou!" Aian shot out of his hand made funnel a large grey tornado that went spiraling for a few seconds before evening out and flew straight at the powering up mass of energy. The tornado was filled with shards of metal from Aian's armor on his palms, the shards filling and spinning wildly within the whirling wind and could be seen on the outside as well. Right before the runes completed, Aian's tornado struck the ball of dark energy, quickly overloading it and causing it to explode greatly. The four mages that were around the orb were shot out in all directions, landing into buildings or the ground with a heavy force. Even Aian was knocked onto his back, as his armor gave away from the explosion.

When Aian got up, he noticed the four mages completely knocked out from where they had landed. Aian stood up, slightly shaking from the damage he had taken, and looked towards his partner; giving him a thumbs up.

Reiki thumbs upped Aian as well, smirking. That seems like the last of em! I can't hear anymore coming! Reiki called out to him. He then turned to Uryuu. Well, my time I can spend here is up for now. Catch ya later Reiki Uryuu exclaimed, vanishing into a flurry of lightning. Well, that was easy enough! Let's go collect the reward so we can head back to the guild in the morning!

As soon as Reiki finished speaking, the whole village began to shake. Reiki's expression changed to completely blank, as his right eye began to twitch slightly. The ground shook violently until a massive, 10 ft man with a gigantic gut stepped through the town gate, with three overalls with glowing black hands, and a merc with a large machine gun. The hair on the behemoths head was black as night, as was his scruffy beard. Reiki slowly turned his head, saw this behemoth of a man, and turned back to Aian, uttering Don't suppose.... he's their leader..... do ya?

The behemoth then roared in a booming voice. WHO DARES TO INTERFERE WITH THE WORK OF GRAGAS, THE GREATEST MOONSHINER IN ALL OF FIORE!?! Gragas' voice was loud enough to shatter the glass on the surrounding buildings, even causing them to shake a bit. Reiki then changed his attitude from blank to pissed. So, you're the bastard responsible for stealing all the beer in town, eh!? I'll teach ya to mess with a mans beer!!!! Reiki shouted, as he swung around and began inhaling deeply. The air all around the village began dropping rapidly in temperature, as Reiki's chest began to expand. ICE DRAGON'S ROAR!! Reiki shot forth his beam of pure ice, launching it straight for Gragas, the ground freezing in its wake. Gragas simply scoffed at this as he began to glow with dark magic. He then charged straight forward, completely ignoring Reiki's freezing roar. Gragas then slammed into Reiki, sending him flying backwards, crashing through someones house. Luckily, Reiki's armor was able to absorb most of the damage, but it was shattered now, and the impact still hurt like hell.

Are you...freaking kidding me..... He shrugged off my Roar like it was nothing... This guy is interesting... Reiki snickered, slight nervousness in his voice. He was unsure how to fight such a beast.

Aian felt the ground shaking, and turned around towards the village gate. He could see a large outline that was cut off from the actual gate itself from view. The shaking got worse, as well as the thumping that could be heard. It sounded like a giant the way it shook the entire town. Finally, the gate was blown down and out came stepping a ten foot tall man-if it could be called one- with a stomach that comes out five feet, and was at least six feet wide. One would think that something that large would move rather slow, yet this thing stormed right on from the gate passing Aian by within a few seconds; all the while roaring "WHO DARES TO INTERFERE WITH THE WORK OF GRAGAS, THE GREATEST MOONSHINER IN ALL OF FIORE!?!" His voice shattering nearby windows of houses as he stormed along. Aian could see on his back were large barrels, of what he assumed to be his personal brew. Behind Gragas were three more drunks and a mercenary. The Drunks seemed to be trying to imitate his movements, Aian now making the connection that each of the drunks they had knocked out besides the mages were his apprentices.

Reiki tried to use his roar on the behemoth, but he simple filled himself up with magic and charged right through the freezing roar which stopped Kamuy from rampaging before, and knocked Reiki yards into someone's house. Aian could tell that this guy was not someone to fight, Aian and Reiki's armors were on their cooling time, and both of them were drained from the fighting before hand. Aian attempted to approach the behemoth in a calm manner instead hoping he would listen to reason. "Excuse me Sir Gragas, but maybe we can work something..." Aian began, before the giant simply back handed Aian; knocking him right into a wall of the tavern, and onto a few tables of which broke upon impact as Gragas roared once more "QUIET!!!" Aian continued to fly till he hit the second wall, crushing the broken wood against his back. Aian was knocked out cold as he felt a few pieces of wood pierce into his back.

After Gragas had essentially bitch slapped Aian through the tavern, he pulled out a large shotgun from his flabs of fat. Alright I've had enough of this gun bullshit!! Reiki shouted, sending out his left hand for his Ice Dragon's Slide, and coating his right fist with an icy aura. He sped at Gragas head first, as Gragas aimed his shotgun at Reiki, arming it with dark magic. Reiki angled his slide enough so that he could aim straight for Gragas' head. ICE DRAGON'S SHOTGUN FIST!!!! Reiki roared, as he threw the punch. Gragas put his shotgun directly in the path of Reiki's fist, pulling the trigger just as they connected. A large explosion occurred, and Gragas was holding Reiki by the head with his free arm, Reiki's hand bleeding from the collision. Gragas' shotgun was slightly damaged from the explosion, meaning Reiki's attack at least had some effect.

You two are the one's that have been thrashing my men? I find that hard to believe. Gragas scoffed, as Reiki hung by his head. You...bastard

Aian regained consciousness, to find himself against a large pile of broken wood. Slowly he got up, and pulled out a few poles and planks of wood from his back, gasping at each on in pain. "This is nuts..." Aian stated, knowing that their fight had become un-winnable. Aian, the sturdier of the two physically was just tossed like a rag-doll to the side like he was nothing. Reiki's roar also had no effect; and now things were looking grim. Aian looked into the corner seeing all the beer and got an idea into his head. "I may be risking it, but if this guy is in love with this beer; there should be no way he could refuse." Aian stated hurrying his best back outside through the tavern door.

When he got back outside, he found Reiki's head being held in Gragas's left hand, and a shotgun in the right. Fearing the worst, Aian hollered out to Gragas as loud as he could. "YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAT US IN STRENGTH, BUT I DOUBT YOU CAN WIN IN A DRINKING CONTEST!" This got Gragas's attention, as he dropped Reiki from his hand and walked over to Aian, the ground shaking with each step. "COME BY ME WHAT YOU JUST SPOUT OUT OF THAT SMALL HOLE YOU GOT THERE!" the behemoth bellowed, standing in front of Aian now. Aian took a gulp, hoping that he would be right. "I said, that we can beat you in a drinking contest." Aian said as calm as he could, looking up at the giant. Gragas simply laughed out loud, his body giggling as he did. "YOU LOOK AS THOUGH YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED A DROP OF THE NECTAR, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU COULD OUT DRINK ME; MAKER OF THE STRONGEST MOONSHINE IN FIORE?" Even his apprentices laughed at the thought of Aian beating Gragas in a drinking contest. True Aian had not drank alcohol before, but he looked to his friend and hoped Reiki's desire would be enough to get them through this. "My friend over there can out drink you and your men without throwing up once." Aian stated in confidence, hoping that Gragas would accept the challenge. Gragas turned his attention back to the runt he had just dropped onto the ground and began laughing once more. "HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE CAN DRINK HIS WAY OUT OF A SINGLE BARREL WITHOUT PUKING HIS GUTS OUT!" Gragas laughed once more. "He can, and will. Unless you are too afraid to lose a drinking contest; if you are as good as you say, what do you got to lose?" Aian stated, taunting Gragas further. The behemoth stopped laughing, and bent over looking Aian in the eye, his face nearly pressed up against Aian's. "And what if I win?" He bellowed, letting out a burp as he spoke that nearly knocked Aian out again. Aian shook it away before looking Gragas back in the eye. "I am a Representative of my client who hired us to protect his shipment. If we lose, you can have as much of his shipment as you desire for free every time he gets it." "And what if you win?" Gragas asked, raising an eye brow. "If we win, you leave this tavern alone along with his shipments of beer so that his business may prosper once more." Aian stated clearly, not wavering from looking Gragas in the eye.

Gragas stood up once more, and looked over at Reiki, seeing him still on the ground. He turned back around laughing and held out his giant hand towards Aian. "YOU GOT YOURSELF A WAGER!" Aian reached out, his hand being dwarfed and consumed in his as they shook on agreement. Gragas walked away to set up the area for the contest to take place. Aian however went over to Reiki, to see if he was all right to participate. "Reiki, you ok?"

Reiki slammed his right fist into the ground, proudly displaying his Eclipse Soul tattoo. Don’t even think about worrying over me. Worry about that fat son of a bitch when I out drink his lard ass!!! Reiki shouted, standing tall. His right hand raised high into the air, as if to eclipse the moon. He hadn’t had a drink since they left Eclipse Soul’s Guild Hall, it was the perfect time for such a challenge. Besides, before we left, I was working on a technique using my magic to help me stay sober a lot longer when I drank. It’s gonna take more than this lard ass to out drink the Drunken Dragon of the North Reiki laughed reassuringly, proclaiming the title his guild mates had taken to calling him. Aian laughed as well, as the two proudly bumped fists.


Reiki proceeded into the tavern when one Gragas’ overall men summoned them in. The stage was set, there were dozens of beer kegs everywhere. Gragas stood at one end of the bar, as Reiki walked calmly over to the opposing side. Gragas laughed as he explained the rules of their showdown. Alright, listen up you little runt. The rules of this contest are simple! You’re friend and my men will bring us each our kegs and continue to do so. The first one to stop drinking loses! I’ve even had my men bring more kegs, so we won’t be running out of the nectar any time soon!! Ya got it!?! Reiki’s face was beaming with confidence. Heh. Ya didn’t even bring me enough kegs to get warmed up!! Let’s do this! he said, pounding his right fist into his left hand. Gragas laughed even more at his opponents statement. HAH! AT LEAST YA GOT SPIRIT, KID!!! YOU HEARD HIM, LETS BEGIN!!! Gragas roared.

His men brought over the starting kegs to each person. Gragas grabbed the keg like it was nothing, and chugged it down at an alarming rate. He slammed the keg on the ground, laughing as he did so, mocking Reiki asking HAH! HOW DO YOU LIKE THE SIGHT OF THAT, BRAT?! As he said this, Aian was already wheeling over Reiki’s third keg. THE HELL ARE YOU WASTING TIME TALKING FOR?! I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DRINKING COMPETITION!! Reiki shouted, as he grabbed the barrel and began chugging it down. Gragas, surprised and delighted at this challengers ferocity, roared at his men to pick up the pace for both contestants.

This went on for an hour, neither side was giving in one inch. Reiki’s plan of keep his body as cold as possible was working so far. It was keeping him decently sober for the time being. Gragas wasn’t even phased, continuing to chug down keg after keg just like his opponent. Aian looked around the room. The beer kegs were running out and neither Reiki nor Gragas we’re showing any signs of slowing down.

The kegs were now completely emptied. Reiki felt fine, his technique working amazingly well. He looked around and smirked. Is that seriously it? It’s no fun if this just ends in a complete draw!! he exclaimed to Gragas. Gragas simply pulled back, letting loose an echoing laugh. OH DON’T WORRY, THE FUN IS JUST GETTING STARTED!!! Then, more of Gragas’ men walked through the tavern doors, hauling in even larger kegs, with blood red logo of Gragas’ face printed on the barrel. YOU SEE THIS, BOY?! THIS IS MY LEGENDARY MOONSHINE!!! WHAT WE’VE BEEN DRINKING UNTIL NOW IS LIKE WATER COMPARED TO THIS STUFF!!! Gragas roared in laughter. WELL IN THAT CASE, QUIT YAPPIN’ AND LET’S GET ON WITH IT!! Reiki yelled, excited at the fact of trying a new drink.

Aian brought over Reiki’s first new keg. Reiki tore off the lid, hoisted it over his body, and opened wide. As soon as the first splash of the moonshine touched his tongue, Reiki dropped the keg and fell to his knees. His body began shaking like crazy. He cringed, clinging at his side in pain. His liver was going insane with pain. Aian just watched in confusion, unsure what to do. What….is that…. Wha-what the hell….. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT STUFF!?! Gragas laughed more as he slammed down his first keg. WHAT’S WRONG?! CAN’T HADNLE THE FLAVOR OF THE FINEST ALCOHOL IN ALL OF FIORE?! Reiki’s body was going insane, yet he still found a way to laugh. You’re put-putting words in my mouth lard ass…. I was asking because it’s AMAZING!!! Reiki shouted, as he stood up. His body wouldn’t stop trembling, whether in excitement, pain, or a bizarre combination of the two, Aian couldn’t tell. “Reiki, are you sure you sho-“ Aian’s concern was cut off by Reiki’s right hand, prominently showing Aian his guild tattoo. Quit yapping and get back on track with the pace, Aian! The real fun is just starting!! Reiki yelled. With a worried smile, Aian nodded and went to grab another barrel as Reiki began chugging down the first one.

Thirty minutes passed from that point. Reiki’s plan of keeping his body as cold as he could wasn’t even phasing his current condition. He had reached his limit long ago, and Aian knew that. Gragas was still downing his kegs with ease, whilst Reiki was slowing down immensely. His body couldn’t handle it anymore. Reiki dropped the keg and collapsed to the floor. The moonshine spilled onto the floor, in a small river headed right for Reiki’s collapsed head. Gragas laughed louder than he ever had at this point. HAHAHAHAHA!!! YA SEE, I TOLD YOU THAT IT WAS FOOLISH TO TRY AND OUT DRINK THE GREAT GRAGAS!!!!! SERVES YOU RIGHT!!!! Gragas yelled, chugging down another keg in celebration as his men cheered in victory.

Aian was in shock, unsure if his closest friend was now lying dead before him. (START PLAYING THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jYw8HYf3RM&list=LLUmQ3CQd2SjLc1H13zVSXkA LISTEN AND READ!!!) Suddenly, Aian noticed the room temperature was dropping, rapidly. A beyond freezing cold aura of magic began erupting from Reiki’s body, as a feint slurping sound could be heard by all. WHO THE HELL SAID I WAS DONE DRINKING, LARD ASS!? Reiki roared, as he stood back up. Everyone, even Gragas, was in total shock from what they we’re witnessing. Reiki threw his head back, letting loose a battle cry that to everyone else, sounded like the roaring lungs of a pissed off dragon.

Reiki slurped all the spilled moonshine off the floor with ease. He kicked the keg up into the air, and grabbed it as he opened his mouth wide, chugging down the keg with ease. The aura of cold kept raging around his body. Gone were his trembling knees and painful liver. Reiki was emitting every last ounce of his magic power he could, keeping his body as cold as he possibly could, in turn speeding up his bodies sobering up system. He slammed it down, at this point going nuts. He ran around, grabbing every keg of moonshine he could and chugging it down as fast as he possibly could.

Gragas began ordering his men to bring them faster and faster, desperately trying to keep up with Reiki. Gragas chugged and chugged, spilling the moonshine from his mouth down his grotesquely fat body. He did this until he finally reached his limit, falling over backwards, shaking the entire tavern whilst moonshine drooled out from his mouth. Reiki was still going, slamming down his keg in victory. REIKI SHIKON, ECLIPSE SOUL’S DRUNKEN DRAGON OF THE NORTH!!! AND DON’T A DAMN ONE OF YOU FORGET IT!!!! He roared in victory. All of Gragas’ men dragged his unconscious body out of the tavern, honoring the bet their boss had made with Aian.

Reiki stood there, his aura still raging around him. He then fell backwards on the floor, his aura disappearing, and his face turning bright flushed red. Aian ran over to him, finding him laughing like a child. HEY AIAN! DID YOU KNO- *HIC* DID YOU KNOW YOUR PANDA, HAS A *HIC* A FACE ON IT? YOU MIGHT *HIC* WANNA HAVE ZENO LOOK AT THAT FOR YA. HE IS OUR *HIC* DOCTOR AFTER ALL!! Reiki yelled, continuing to ramble on about completely nonsensical things. No doubt he had shortened his life span to some degree, but Reiki had won the drinking contest, which was all he seemed to think mattered in that moment. The Drunken Dragon of the North had beaten Fiore’s Greatest Moonshiner.

As the challenge began, Aian handed Reiki keg after keg, knowing his speed already from watching him so many times. As the contest went on, they ran out of filled barrels. That is when Gragas had his men haul in larger barrels for them to drink, stating "! THIS IS MY LEGENDARY MOONSHINE!!! WHAT WE’VE BEEN DRINKING UNTIL NOW IS LIKE WATER COMPARED TO THIS STUFF!!" Aian became a bit worried, knowing his partner was not used for going on so long drinking, especially at alcoholic levels this high. Aian became worried that his friend would not be able to hold up; especially when watching his friend take just one gulp of the moonshine and collapsing onto the ground. Gragas and his men laughed in victory till Aian felt Reiki's frost like aura fill the room, before he exploded into a drinking frenzy. Aian just stood back and watched his friend go to work on al lte alcohol; while Gragas was unable to keep up. Finally after a few more minutes, Gragas collapsed and his apprentices dragged him out. Reiki as well fell onto the floor completely out of his mind from winning the contest.

Aian sighed and dragged his partner to one of the remaining tables and just had him lay on top of it. Aian himself however, examined all the damage that took place from the event. The tavern and a few houses were damaged, and to top it all off; the tavern's beer was also consumed for the contest. Aian sighed and felt his back, still feeling the wounds where the wood impaled him earlier. "I am surprised Kamuy didn't come out, I think there was just too much stress on our body for him to come out..." Aian mumbled to himself. He took it upon himself to walk over to the nearby hospital or clinic to get his wounds tended too.

Reiki laid on the table, so drunk he thought he was still talking to Aian the entire time. The hours passed and it was soon early morning. Reiki was sound asleep, strung out across the table, drooling in his sleep. The bar keep walked in, beholding the site of kegs thrown about everywhere. He was rather unsure what to make of the situation. He walked amongst the mess, over to Reiki. Um, pardon me, sir? he asked politely. Reiki was groggy, barely opening his eyes before speaking. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…… what the hell happened last night? The bar keeper sighed as he responded to this. I was hoping that you could tell me. Everyone heard the commotion last night. Did you stop the bandits?

Reiki threw himself upward, looking around wildly. Clutching his head in pain, he smirked and laughed slightly. Heh, yeah we did…. I beat their lard ass of a boss in a drinking contest! They won’t be stealing any more of your shipments. Ow it hurts to laugh… he sighed, laughing despite the pain. The bar keeper sighed. Well, that is great and all, but you used the last shipment as a part of your contest!! What am I going to do now!? Reiki clutched his head in more pain. Owww….. you don’t need to yell. I stored half of the shipment around the back. It should still be there come on.. Reiki uttered, as he proceeded to stumble his way outside.

Sure enough, the kegs Reiki had hauled behind the tavern were still there. Gragas men must not have noticed them. Astonished at this, the bar keeper shook Reiki’s hand in fervent gratitude. THANK YOU!! THERES PLENTY HERE TO STILL PAY OFF THE RENT!!! I CANNOT THANK YOU OR YOUR FRIEND ENOUGH, LET ME FETCH THE PAYMENT!! he yelled, as he ran off back towards his house. Reiki clutched his head even more so in pain. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I am never drinking AGAIN! Reiki muttered, sitting down next to one of the kegs. He had no idea how true that statement, but one thing he knew. Reiki and Aian had just successfully completed their second job in a row. In that, Reiki could be happy, despite the massive hangover he was experiencing.

Mission Completed.
