Around the evening...Saio: Hey, Taby! We're here! Wake up!
Taby: Wakes up. Hm? Is it morning?
Saio: No, wake up. Let's go to an inn before nightfall.
Taby: Oh, okay...
Saio/Taby: Go to an inn and sleep there.
The next day...Taby: Wakes up. That was a good nap!
Saio: Yeah, whatever. I'm going to see what they've got in this town. You can look around, if you want.
Taby: Yay!
Saio: Make sure to meet up at the boat in an hour, okay?
Taby: Okay!
Saio: See ya. Leaves.
Taby: Hm, where should I go? Flies out the window. Hm... Sees a house up on a mountain. What's that? Flies to it.
Kayo: Training in the mountains. I'll show dad, and sis too! I will become stronger than them, and save this village... Breaks a boulder. *huff* No, not yet...
Taby: Flying above him. Wow, you're strong!
Kayo: Backs away from her. W-wha! Who are you?
Taby: I'm Taby, a vampire!
Kayo: A vampire? In the daytime?
Taby: I used to be nocturnal, but it's best for my pirate captain if I sleep normally!
Kayo: P-pirate captain?!? You're a pirate?
Taby: You ask too many questions! Nosey!
Kayo: Look who's talking! What are you even doing here?!? This is my private training area!
Taby: Because this place is so high up; I wanted to see what was up here!
Kayo: Well, would you mind leaving? You're disturbing my training...
Taby: What are you training for?
Kayo: The SIS have taken over this town, so I'm training to take them out and get them out of here.
Taby: But aren't the SIS run by the government? Wouldn't that be illegal?
Kayo: I don't care. I won't forgive them for what they did to my mother...
Taby: ...come to think of it, I think my pirate captain said something about not liking the SIS either...
Kayo: Makes sense; pirates and the SIS are sworn enemies.
Taby: Maybe we can help you defeat the SIS in this town! Would that be okay?
Kayo: Pfft, no thanks. I don't want help from pirates! Now leave!
Taby: But...
Kayo: Now!
Taby: Fine, meanie... Flies away.
Kayo: *sigh* Jeez, what a distraction...
Taby: Flies to the ship. Saio, I'm back!
Saio: About time! What took you so long?!? I said to come back in an hour!
Taby: But I don't have a watch, so I didn't know...
Saio: *sigh* Whatever... Where did you go, anyway?
Taby: I flew up to that place in the mountains and talked to someone there.
Saio: I see... Well, let's go. There's nothing interesting here...
Taby: W-wait! I want to ask you something...
Saio: What?
Taby: The guy said he had to fight some bad guys that took over the town! I was wondering if we could help him...
Saio: It's no business of mine. Let's go.
Taby: But you said the SIS aren't nice people, right? I'm kinda worried about him...
Saio: I don't ca-... wait, the SIS?!? They've taken over this town?
Taby: Yeah, that's what I just said!
Saio: ...alright, show me where this guy is.
Taby: Okay! Off we go! Grabs Saio and flies to where Kayo is.
Saio: N-not like this! This isn't what I meant!
Taby: But it's faster this way!
Saio: (How is she able to carry me so easily, anyway...?)
Taby: Leaves.
Saio: Where is he?
Taby: Dunno. Maybe he's in that house now.
Saio: You call that a house? Doesn't even look decent enough for one person...
Taby: Let's see what's inside! Looks inside the window.
Saio: *sigh* Follows her.
Kayo: Inside his house. Ikusa, what're you doing here?
Ikusa: Little brother, please come home... Dad and I are worried about you being here all alone...
Kayo: Shut up! I'm training to defeat the SIS in town! And since dad won't do anything about it, I have to train here...
Ikusa: Then at least let me help you train...
Kayo: No; I don't need you! Get out of here!
Ikusa: *tearyeyed* B-bu...
Kayo (angry): Now!
Ikusa: Starts crying; leaves.
Kayo: Man, she's annoying!
Saio: Looking through the window. It doesn't look like he'll want our he-... Taby?
Taby: Flies inside. You're so mean!
Kayo: Eh? You again?!?
Taby: Why were you yelling at your sister for? She just wanted to help...
Kayo: It's not fair...
Taby: Huh?
Kayo: Why's Ikusa stronger than me...? She's a girl; girls are supposed to be weak! But because of my problem, I can't...
Taby: Can't what...?
Kayo (angry): Shut up! Get out!
Saio: Comes in. Before you defeat the SIS, you should grow up.
Kayo (angry): Who're you?!?
Taby: He's Saio, the pirate captain I told you about.
Kayo: Pirate captain? You? But you're so small!
Saio: Looks who's talking, shrimp...
Taby: We want to help you defeat the SIS. Is that okay?
Kayo: I already told you, no! Now leave!
Saio: So you're going to defeat the SIS all by yourself?
Kayo: Yeah, that's right.
Saio: ...okay.
Taby: But Saio...!
Saio: How about this... If you manage to defeat me in a fight, I'll leave you alone. Deal?
Kayo: Fight?
Saio: Yeah. If you can defeat me, then you'll be fine against the SIS. But if you lose...
Taby: ...you have to join us!
Saio: Yeah, that works...
Kayo: W-what?!?
Saio: What, not going to do it? I guess you don't have what it takes to defeat the SIS after all...
Kayo: ...fine. I accept! But don't expect me to go easy on you!
Saio: Likewise. They all go outside.
Taby: Saio, are you going to use your sword?
Saio: That won't be necessary... (I can see... his major weak spot...)
Kayo: You're going down, pirate boy!
