[b]Spring was coming. It was noticeable as the temperature began rising steadily.
It was a nice day for once, except for the fact that the streets were littered with craters and buildings were completely torn down.
In the main Plaza of the dojo, there was a crowd of survivors, each chanting something.
On a small stage was middle aged man, speaking angrily. [/b]
"THE DOJO IS THE CAUSE OF PAIN, OF DESPAIR. It had destroyed our lives, killed our families. The dojo lures enemy, it demands challenge. And when it arrives, what the fúck does it do!? IT ALLOWS THE VILLAGE TO BE DESTROYED! This is a mess! And it can no longer be allowed. It is time we stood up to the dictators that claim they try to help. It is time to release the iron fist!"
[b]The crowd erupted into a cheer, and the March to the Dojo began. [/b]

"It isn't. One of the worst if anything."
-
"No kidding..." she said glumly.
-
"Hey, it could be even worse. We could be earth. Which is destroyed."
-
"I was born on earth..." she mumbld quietly.
-
"See? It could be far worse. You could even have died."
-
"I did die there. Several times." she said blankly.
-
"Well than how the hell are you here, right now?"
-
"I'm the result of two years of scientific experimentation. I'm not supposed to exist, but here I am anyway."
-
"Huh... I'm the result have a man and a woman."
-
"Hm. Cool." she said, yawning. She then aimed her gun out the window and shot a rioter's arm. The chucklehead was about to punch and okd woman. Needless to say, the old woman fled, and the rioter guy was left writhing on the street.
-
"Good shot." [b]Jack rose to his feet, extending his hand to her [/b]
-
She clicked the safety on of the gun and holstered it again, shaking his hand. "So...You're a Titan Pilot, right?"
-
"Yeah. Pilot Jack Cooper. What's your name?"
-
"You've already told me your name, I'm Snow." she said as she fiddled with a napkin.
-
"Oh have I? My apologies."
-
"Nah, its fine. How long do you think this whole riot mess is gonna last?"
-
"Until this place is rebuilt from the ground up?"

[i]Rafael, still torn and war scarred, arrives at the scene via his powers of "flying" using his powers.[/i] "Fellow citizens of the Dojo, why must you do this?" [i]He holds a concerned, yet questioning look.[/i]

[i]"He's one of them!"[/i] [u]"Get him!" [/u] [b]A molotov was thrown towards Seven, but fell short and crashed onto the roof of one of the buildings [/b]
-
"You all say that we cause trouble, yet you riot and try to destroy. What better is that? I understand freedom, but please, at be civil." [i]Rafael puts out the small fire by flicking a bit of water he summons in his hands at it[/i] "You need us, and we need you."
-
"WHAT COULD POSSIBLY NEED US FOR!? Bait that's what!"
-
"If you were bait. You wouldn't be standing here now. We are supposed to protect you. You are all just trying to make a living." [i]Rafael sighs, attempting to compose himself.[/i]
-
"No! We were just smart enough to hide away, AND SAVE OURSELVES from those BASTARDS that came, and you, you are scared of what we can do because of the fact that we survived."
-
[i]Rafael's eyes flash a bright purple.[/i] "Fear? You do not know fear. You do not know suffering! And fear what you can do? Do not threaten me. I'm trying to help this place."
-
"HELP? What the hell are you doing to help rebuild?
