"Goddamn it."

Kouhei says as he continues waiting in this random bar. He's been here for 5 hours, not able to drink as to stay sober enough to fight. His second order of french fries are half eaten and cold, he had a full meal about 4 hours ago, but confused his boredom with hunger. Sitting alone and waiting is boring, and there's only so much you can do in a near empty bar, by yourself. There were about 7 others in here, with three in a group and the others at the bar itself drinking. He was alone at a table, his back against the wall, about 5 meters from the door. Kou had been in this kingdom for about a week, tracing the bartender stabber, Jack, to this island. Earlier he had met another marine. A tall fellow, rather calm, he was a cool dude. This man must have been to at least 15 bars and inns looking for Jack, but the man didn't make an appearance. The bartender tonight was an old looking white guy, couldn't be older than 60, yet wearing one of those old timey bartender outfits. He was currently polishing a glass cup, making sure everything was okay. When Kou met the guy earlier he was nice. Apparently the waitress is his young daughter, and she was quite attractive. Whenever she'd come around Kou she'd wink or flirt a little, which was nothing new. Somehow he always gets really cute waitresses, never waiters. He fears his luck will one day run out and he'll get stuck with a fat sweaty guy, so for now he'll enjoy this gift. Laura, the pretty waitress, comes and sits down at his table. She's wearing just regular clothes, a green t-shirt with the bars logo "Pattys" and blue jeans. Her long blonde hair is tied up in a bun, and even though she has on minimum make-up, she still looks gorgeous.

"I've been meaning to ask you, why are you here all alone, just sitting here?" She asks, placing her elbow on the table and chin on her hand. He smiles and leans back into the booty chair, beginning "I'm actually on a stakeout, have you heard of Jack?" "The bartender stabber?!" she responds. "Yup... I'm a marine, if that wasn't obvious enough." he says jokingly. "I've been set after him, and I tracked him to this island. I don't know when he'll strike though..." The waitress looks like a lioness in heat towards Kouhei at this point, she looks towards her dad, noticing he's looking away. She then grabs Kouehei's hand and leans into closer towards him. "Stick around for when we close." she says, leaning in closer to kiss the young marine. Not turning down free affection, he leans in as well. But before he can do anything a tall, skinny guy comes in holding a giant knife. Obviously this was the guy.

The tall man grabs the bartender and rips him over the bar, slamming him to the ground. He raises his knife, and violently thrush it downwards towards the man's torso. Before he can stab the helpless old man, Kouhei grabs the pirate's stabbing arm with his left hand, and puts his pistol to the man's head with his right hand.

"Jack, in the name of the world government, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say, can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you can't-" before Kouhei can finish reading the man his rights, Jack drops a flash grenade and kicks Kouhei back. The bartender darts over the bar, with Kouehi starting to shoot towards Jack's direction, and covering his eyes with his left forearm. Jack rushes out the bar, taking a bullet to his left shoulder. Kouhei darts after him.

It's the middle of night though, so the streets are dimly lit and not many people are walking around. Still disoriented, Kouhei doesn't know the direction that lanky fucker ran in. Once he gets his bearings together, he calls towards the bartender to see if he's good. The daughter is making sure her father is alright, she nods and Kou begins searching for his prey. He notices a trail of blood, his shooting had wounded this fellow. Perfect. Now there was no escape. Through the dark, empty streets Kou began to follow the blood. He could tell the man was deeply injured, because Jack was profusely bleeding for about half a mile. Once the trial stopped, Kou had appeared in front of a large, seemingly abandoned apartment building.

"I'm not gonna like this." He says. Opening this decaying door makes almost no sound, which was perfect. He planned on doing this all stealth like. The hallways held one staircase, yet 10 doors, five to each side. He slowly and quietly began to open the doors, with his pistol out, and check each room. These rooms were small, each apartment being basically a studio. In each room he found nothing, mostly just wildlife taking back their environment, run-aways and junkies. He would whisper for them to hush up, so he can continue his search. On the second floor he noticed blood stains on one of the doors, so sneakily he darted in front of that door, held up his pistol and kicked it down... but there was no one inside. A fast moving individual can be heard from behind Kou, ripping open a door and rushing towards the marine. It's Jack, and he thrush his blade right towards Kouhei's back!

With the swiftness, Kouhei dodge rolls forwards and begins shooting at Jack. The lanky man darts to his left, leaving Kouehi to empty his clip at the walls trying to hit the man. Once he's out, he punches through the wall, grabbing Jack and ripping him inside the room. He tosses the man into the small bathroom, with Jack hitting his head on the mirror. Jack grabs a broken piece of glass and slashes towards Kou with both the glass shard and his butcher knife. Kouehei dodges, and parrys using his gun. Jack kicks Kou in the chest, sending him flying back a couple feet, and launches himself towards the man. Kou, while still on the ground, pushes himself towards the man and kicks him in the balls. He then gets in a crouching position and uppercuts Jack, which again causes the man to hit the mirror. With force Kou begins to punch his enemy in his torso rapidly before kneeing him in the stomach and slamming his head into a wall. Jack elbows Kouhei and tries to run away, but Kou follows him and kicks him in the back. Jack lands onto a table, breaking it, but still has enough fight in him to toss both his weapons at Kou, who in turn blocks both with his gun. Jack then darts towards Kouhei, grabbing him and slamming him onto the ground. Jack is now ontop of Kouhei and begins throwing punches. Kou, blocks each attack, slaps both of Jack's ears and grabs the man's arm, twisting into an armbar. He breaks the man's left arm, then positions himself ontop of the man this time. Kou begins to thrash the man with a flurry of punches before Jack, somehow pulling energy from nowhere, decides to headbutt Kou in the nose, causing it to bleed. Both men are spent at this point, with Kou now on his feet, trying to plug his nose. Jack rises, breathing heavily and pulling another knife out, holding it with his right hand.

"Ya know... I only started doing this after my whore of a wife cheated on me with a bartender. This all began because she couldn't keep her fucking legs closed!" Jack says, almost in tears.

"I don't care about your stupid fucking story... you're under arrest." Kou says, looking very anger.

Jack charges, but Kou doesn't hold back. With a powerful kick, Jack goes flying backwards, hitting a glass patio door and flying over a rail. He lands on his back, glass shards everywhere, blood everywhere. Kouhei blows his bloodied nose, clearing up some of the blood clumps and begins to walk downstairs. A group of people living in the building are standing in the hallways, all watching the fight. He walks pass them and outside, finding that Jack is completely KOed. He lifts the man up onto his left shoulder, and begins to head towards a police station. He tries to make haste so that waitress can clean him up and give him his well deserved reward.
