Vivi shook her head thinking, “Megan’s right. You have to stay together!” Maken throws the arm aside. He and Ox stare each other down. Ox thinking, “He's quick-witted. And the speed of his responses even with the deep wound didn't slow him down at all. A move appropriate to his extreme speed did nothing. I can't afford to show him any weakness! But there could be none better to test my mechanical engineering!” Aloud, “Here I come, Maken!”

Ox thrusts again and again with the blade attack as Maken dodges each one, gradually moving backwards. “Maken’s on the run,” Megan replied while Vivi shook her head again, “No--it looks that way, but all of the enemy's attacks are missing. But.” “But what?” “Ordinary attacks won't work, and he's on the move so he can't use the twist-cut. If this goes on, Maken will be tired out and at a disadvantage. Even if he takes him down, that's what his real enemy is counting on.” “There's no other way he can attack?” “No. There is one thing he can do.”

The robot twisting arm drives into the ground; Maken leaps to the roof to avoid it, “The arm turns very well.” Ox replied, “Does it bother you?” Maken lifted his blade back, “A little.” Megan gasped and answered Vivi, “A stabbing attack!?” “Yes. He can't slice the mechanical monster, but it is possible he can stab through it. Maken's previous defense proves it. But it would be too hard to aim for the twisting arms and legs. Considering their spinning power and their difference in body size, there's a possible Maken would be thrown aside. There's only one place to aim. The real person inside that huge body--the main point of control, Ox's own left arm! If that is hit, the robots’ own left arm will be disabled! Only a thrust is a powerful killer's technique. Maken's vow not to kill won't allow him to use it. No matter how difficult, there's only one small spot he can hit.”

“A thrust,” Ox thinking, “It's all as I foresaw. This is my last trump card. The fourth mechanism, sword-resistant armor! This net woven of steel cables combines durability with flexibility. No sword can pierce it! Or it shouldn't be able to, but this man has already exceeded my expectations twice. There are no absolutes, only possibilities. A true match!” Maken leaps forward, kicking up fragments of roof tile. Vivi thinking, “He’s going for it.” One of the fragments is caught on the tip of Maken's sword. He stabs the robot in the left shoulder. The sword penetrates the skin, but not very far. “It worked?” Megan wondered just as the robots’ left arm pulled forward for another attack. “It didn’t work!” Vivi thought.

Ox smiled, “A truly excellent try, but that piece of debris cut its power in half! In the end it was bad luck that cost you your win. The triumph of my functional beauty, the robots’ secret weapon!” The fingers spin as well, as robots’ arm thrusts forward. Maken stands his ground. “Maken,” Vivi though to herself, “He was so close.” The arm grinds to a halt. Ox surprised, “What--why did it stop? Why won't it move!?” Maken pushes the motionless arm aside, “It is a truly great technology to make even the fingers revolve. For such movement the mechanisms must be as complicated and detailed as the human body. Just as the arm must be connected to the workings of the base of the shoulder of such a mechanical structure, and just as the blood must flow without blockage through the body.” Ox thinking, “That was his aim all along! By pushing a foreign object into the body, he stopped the mechanism!”

Maken started to sheath his sword, “Loss of blood or pain are the signals of irregularity or danger to the body. Your mistake was in trying to win without knowing pain or the smell of blood. I'll let you taste it once. I'll make you consider the worth of human life, your own and others. First, as I said, I'll destroy this interfering toy. Maken performs his succession technique Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki (Heaven’s Soaring Dragon Flash).

(Real Entry)

Hey it’s been a while since I had a real entry eh? Well it’s been five days since I started working? And it’s been loads of fun, but it’s also retailer stuff. So it’s going to get crazy as soon as possible I know it. There’s such a huge amount to learn here and stuff. So hopefully I can keep it up and such.

I work in the Software department. And it’s huge. Not only that, it’s spread out. And Fry’s Electronic is a huge building. 110,000 square feet. It literally takes me 5 minutes to walks halfway across the store. So you have to walk fast like all the time looking busy busy. I deal with magazines, candy, toys, videogames, dvds, cds, pc games, computer books, etc. It’s crazy some of the stuff. The bad thing about the movie section it’s hard to find some of the stuff. It’s a huge amount of movies there.

And I’m always pretty much in the dvd center practically. And I have to clean tis HUGE plasma t.v. It’s sooooooo nice! We always get a huge group of people there watching the stuff. There’s a movie we play called ANIMUSIC. And it’s basically music with animation. But some of the stuff is like engineered instruments all put together. It’s great. Even I love it. I might have to buy it myself just because it does so well and awe struck so many people. It’s really quite amazing.

I’m not sure what’s going to be going on next week. My whole schedule is messed up. But I actually work Sunday. That’s going to be something. Super Bowl Sunday. I mean we have things to do and we’re getting there. I’ll be working 10 to 6 that night. Good thing I live very close to home. Go home and watch the game. I’ve also thinking about Valentines Day. I really don’t have anyone special. Don’t get me wrong. But I get too attached to people ;:blushes:: so when that day comes I’ll probably write up something from the bottom of my heart. Because you girls (and some guys) deserve that and such right!?! ^_^ Enjoy the story!
