| - Previous: A Door that Opens Part 6 There he was, splayed across the most gigantic stairs ever seen by a man. Chio woke up and rolled over, only to fall off the step and land very harshly on the flat stone. Chio: Gah! Ow... [Slowly got up from the ground, rubbing his arm] What the... He looked out toward the landscape around him, and his eyes went huge, seeing that he was atop the side of a mountain, by a quick estimation, probably around thirty thousand feet high. The cold mountain wind blew into his face, causing him to shutter, his arms clamping onto one another and rubbing. He suddenly started to shiver, his clothes not at all meant to cover such temperatures. He looked downward, seeing he must have covered seven hundred steps, each of them about half as steep as he was tall. Then he looked up, and to his surprise, he may have been a little more than half way to the top. Chio: Well, that answers that question. [Began jumping toward the very top of the mountain, his foot catching halfway onto the edge of each step, quickly leaping with his powerful legs. As he leapt, his legs began to warm up with the extra blood flow, but then he suddenly stopped as he heard a very quiet, whispering voice.] Voice: Hurry, time is waiting. Chio: What? Wolf: Hm? [Looked at Chio] Cold one, eh? You don't look like you're from around here. Guess it kind of frightens you to see a wolf, sitting up and talking eh? Chio: [Thought for a moment] No... But hey, do you have another parka? Wolf: Nope, sorry stranger, just the one. So, what brings you to see the Queen? Chio: Queen? What Queen? I'm just wanting to get to some shelter, I'll die in this cold. By the way, were you the one who was whispering a second ago? Wolf: You need to keep going, stranger. She wants to speak with you, and that is an honour I wouldn't miss for the fifty worlds as we know them. Now go, happy hunting. Voice: Well well, if it isn't Mr. CuteButt. Rise: I was hoping for the catman, but it looks like I found me a fine lookin' cat instead. [Tipping her sunglasses down a little to get a good look at him.] Lieutenant Runagai Chio, when was it that you decided that the Marines weren't good nuff and blew to the jive turkey brigade? Chio: I have my reasons, Rise. Why don't you check with Captain Jossu? Ask him what operation: prologue is all about. Rise: Well, it don't matter. First thing's first, you on my ship with a nice tight little rope around that bod. Rise: HAWW! [Making a very sudden first move, she launched herself forward, and initiated a flying kick straight toward Chio.] Chio: Chio Joutou Handou! [He landed on his feet and spun around to face her.] Rise: Nice one, kid. [She got into a fighting stance] My turn.
