 9WHO: Travis Touchdown (
travistouchdown ) versus Apollo (
pirateapollo )
WHAT: Epic battle between Pirate and Assassin!
WHERE: Warehouse District
WHEN: Sometime after Travis' latest journal entry

Well, on the bright side of Sensei being missing in action, there was no one to stop Travis from having some fun.  And by fun, he meant... picking a fight with a random sky pirate chick.  Not that picking fights was anything new to him, but Balthier usually stepped in before he could go through with it.

Not that he'd ever really known what he was in for during the ranked matches with the other assassins - Sylvia arranged them, but it was only in the case of the ninth rank that he'd had any idea what he was in for.  But even in light of this, challenging the girl probably was not one of his brighter moves.  Not that he had any doubts in his ability, but seeing the way the newcomers had reacted to threats in his last journal entry, he didn't expect this one to be entirely on her own - and didn't particularly care either.  He'd taken on a lot more than the dozen or so pirates he'd noticed in the journals, and they were probably a hell of a lot more dangerous.

This, of course, relying the notion that they would resort to normal weapons and tactics, and not the magic he'd witnessed Basch and Balthier use.

He'd only been to the warehouse district once previously - when the kidnapping-gone-wrong had taken place.  Not that he particularly wanted to remember that... He glanced at the tear the bullet had left in his red leather jacket, a look of annoyance crossing his face.  He'd had to change back to his old clothes, because he didn't imagine Kuja would be impressed to see his new ones soaked in blood - especially if the blood wasn't his.

Tugging Tsubaki from the loop in his belt, he leaned back against the wall of one of the warehouses, glancing around casually.  This was a first - someone coming to fight him, instead of the other way around.  The thought actually brought a grin to his face.

'Just like when I'm ranked number one.'
