Summary: On a dark street in Kyoto, Aloha checked under the van. There were five dead cyborgs; that had to be a new record. There were no dead ninjas, though. That was good. He was still hoping to make it with at least one of them, if not both, and killing them would hurt his odds. ldquo;Where'd you go, ladies?rdquo; A voice came from the distance. ldquo;Ne, you tried to kill us.rdquo;nbsp; Aloha laughed. ldquo;If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. That's how I do things. I knew the two of you would be...wait, is the other one okay?rdquo; nbsp; ldquo;Okay desu!rdquo; nbsp; ldquo;Glad to hear that, Ninja K. I knew you'd both be fine, since you're both ninjas. I knew you'd jump out of the way.rdquo; nbsp; ldquo;Ne, you almost killed us.rdquo; nbsp; ldquo;Almost, but not quite. Anyway, how can you say I almost killed you? Almost for most people is like not even close for ninjas. Now, come on out and check out the signal in the sky.rdquo; nbsp; There were swooshing sounds, and then Aloha could see the girls approaching him on the street. They sure were ninjas. nbsp; Aloha pointed at the beam of light and the shape in the clouds. nbsp; ldquo;Ne, what's that shape? A worm?rdquo; nbsp; ldquo;No, madam, it's not a worm. It's a snake. It's a king cobra.rdquo;
