From the looks of it, we will need to wait until it is positioned right in front of us, and angled to the right so that you can get to the other side. I can run past it no problem, but I don't want you to hurt-- Rinji: Busoshoku: Rinji KEN!!!! [Balled his fist blackened energy and smashed it into the blade directly as it past them. The blade burst into pieces, as did its handle that broke into splinters.] Dala: ...yourself. [Looked unamused.] Rinji: Mewhahahahahaha! A profound statement seems necessary, but I'll save it for later. [Grinned at her as they continued up those stairs that seemed to go straight up with hardly a slant forward.] Dala: Rinji? Rinji: Uh huh? Dala: You mentioned something about your family before. Rinji: Yeah, my two sisters. Dala: What are their names? Rinji: Migoto and Kiria, I told them both that I would meet them on an island very close to here, actually. Dala: And then you're going to Nekoshima? Rinji: Yes, I am. As soon as I find it again. I never expected it to be easy, and I know once I get there, things can only get worse. Rinji: Two pizzas? [As he spoke, all of the buttons lit up in their respective colors, and from a very rusted speaker somewhere in that area of the stairs, there came a very dark, deep, ominous voice.] Voice: Greetings and Salutations, congratulations on making it this far in the Black Bone Tower. You have earned the treasure that lies beyond these doors thus far, but one more test is here to prove your self-worth and mettle. Here is a set of answers before you, and here is a question for you to consider. Please choose carefully, as there is only one correct answer, and the two wrong answers will result in the destruction of this tower, and all of those it holds. Voice: There are ten pizzas for little Jimmy to take to his starving family. He is walking home when a stranger comes to him, and tells him that if he doesn't give up two pizzas, he will kill his family. He is walking home when a stranger comes to him, and tells him that if he doesn't give up three pizzas, he will kill his family. He is walking home when a stranger comes to him, and tells him that if he doesn't give up a pizza, he will kill his family. He is walking home when a stranger comes to him and tells him that if he doesn't give up two pizzas, he will kill his family. What is left for little Jimmy? Rinji: Well, I suppose it was a strange question, but at least it was eas-- [Started to push the blue button but Dala quickly stopped him.] Dala: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, you heard what he said, if we push the wrong button, we're going to get roasted. Rinji: Yeah, and the math is pretty simple. Dala: Don't you think it's a little too easy? Think about it, little Jimmy is walking home with some pizzas to feed his family. Some asshole comes up and says [Mocking tone.] "W'll I'm gunna kill yer famly! hyuck hyuck hyuck!" Come on, would you really just bend over and give the guy something that will feed your entire family if he just threatens to kill them? I know I wouldn't! Rinji: So.... the only thing left for Jimmy is to kick their asses... [Looked at the buttons.] And just say "no".
