So, they really hadn't been lying when they'd said that there was a war going on. It wasn't as if Bro doubted it, or had thought it was one big plot to keep inhabitants of he city under mass paranoia-- the thought'd occurred to him briefly, when he'd woken up as a newcomer and had gotten the rundown of his situation, but he'd dismissed the idea as quickly as it'd manifested. Too far-fetched and way too cliche, not that being revived only to be plopped into another warzone wasn't overdone in movies, either ( ... )

Crazy people. That's what he was running into tonight, just plain crazy people! Sure he watned to help out but...there was a very important person out there that he had to find first. He didn't know if Mulan was safe or not, the stupid machine that brought him here had dimmed that little helpful connection. Plus his pilot light...and the whole ain't nothing going to squish him power he had been pretty fond of. With a bit of a growl he hurried up, scurrying around pieces of...thing he didn't want to think of. Of course running with eyes half closed wasn't a good thing and pretty soon he felt himself run head first into something.

"Ow!"

The little dragon bounced back a few inches before rubbing his head and glaring up at the human he crashed into, "Hey! What the heck's wrong with you. Hangin' around while the place goes off!"

Bro had been privately debating whether or not he should pull out his Communicator and call someone who knew what the hell was going on for a bit of extra information (nah), when his thoughts were interrupted by a not-so-little voice coming from the general area of his left shoe. Tilting his shades down and looking over them, Bro glanced down at whatever it was that managed to plop itself right on over next to his foot.

...Oh. A tiny lizard-thing.

Okay, then.

"Shit man, let's be a Disney prince. If I sing, am I gonna attract more of you so I can go Snow White on these Kishin bastards or what."

Mushu dusted himself off, standing up to his full height. Which still put him somewhere below Bro's knees but the dragon wasn't paying attention to that.

"Man, if you're gonna sing better be able to knock those guys down!" He pointed at the kishin before glaring up at Bro. Snow White? What was that gonna do?

"Yeah alright Prince Charmin', you can deal with it that way. I'm betting that your weapon'll be a lot more painful."

He sort of moves behind Bro's shoe, his eyes locked on the Kishin still hanging around, "Unless you really can sing that bad to put these out!"

Letting his gaze travel over to the Kishin that Mushu was looking at, Bro shuffled his feet, transferring his weight from his left to his right foot, almost infuriatingly calm under the circumstances.

"Listen, lizard man. You want me to bust out a few tunes, get me a turntable or learn some goddamn beatboxing right now, 'cause I can decimate."

The Kishin, much like Mushu, wasn't looking too amused-- not that Bro cared. A true Strider always went for ironic entrances, and this was Bro's: no entrance at all.

"But as it is, I'm sans katana, my puppet soul brother, and a decent beat to get me goin'. Peaaaaaachy keen, godzilla junior, let's brainstorm."

Mushu ducked behind those shifting feet, not too inclined to get stepped on by either the kishin or Prince Charming. He shook his head, offering a wonderful, biting glare up at Bro.

"Brainstorm. I'd rather hightail it outta here then try to figure anythin' else to do."

The kishin growled...or well that was the closest way that Mushu could describe it. He grabbed Bro's pant leg, "A-a'right...brainstorming. Any bright ideas?"

"With a voice like that, Eddie Murphy, you should be ready to offend, not defend."

Tap tap tapping on that 4th wall, there, but no matter-- Bro reaches down and picks Mushu up rather unceremoniously by the scruff of his neck, inspecting the red dragon with a rather unconcerned air. The Kishin Egg, in turn, takes a step forward towards the both of them, looking somewhat annoyed (since it is, to some extent, being ignored by this hat-clad, ridiculously-talking human) but mostly menacing.

"Alright, leapin' lizard. First things first. You a Weapon or a Meister."

What fourth wall?

"Hey man, name's Mushu." He yelped and flailed a bit, not expecting to get picked up randomly. He glared at Bro for a moment before rolling his eyes, "Yeah, what the heck could Iwield? I'm a weapon man."

Wait...okay, being wielded by someone that wasn't Mulan because of an emergency was one thing. This sounded like it'd end up being n purpose.

"You really wanna fight that?"

"Mushu. Delicious."

His tone deadpan, Bro raised the dragon eye-level with himself and squinted, 'sizing up' the creature that was now-established as a Weapon. "The hell do you turn into, Mushu, a plate of delicious pork? That could make a guy hungry."

One day, Bro might make sense and try to think in a linear manner, like most people do (though admittedly, Bro wasn't 'most people'). Today, apparently, wasn't that day.

"And if we don't Strife the hell out of that thing, we either get our asses killed or run like hell and get our ear chewed off later. First choice isn't an option, and as for the second..."

He totes Mushu like he would a pair of nunchaks.

"Striders don't abscond, bro."

"Hey, hey watch it man. I'm travel sized not bite sized." He scrambled a bit in the odd grip, grumbling under his breath and folding his arms. "Yeah right, that sounds great! Best way ta beat the witches. Heart Burn!"

He hmphed and folded his arms, becoming a lot more interested once, despite the words, the tone became serious. He rolled his eyes but adjusted himself to facing Bro.

"Yeah, well abscond this brother." In a flash of what seemed to be ash, embers and rather puffy black smoke, there was a bladed war fan where once there was a tiny dragon. On the extended fan there was an etching of a Chinese Dragon. It began to glow red as Mushu's voice came through.

"Trust me and we'll get outta this in one piece. That's the way it works man." And it was; Guardianship or Partnership, Mushu worked on trust.

Well, this was...definitely new. Bro'd never actually seen the 'weapon' theory being practiced in real-time, and so Mushu's transformation was enough to make him actually look fairly serious, his usual verboseness giving way to something more...guardian-like. When Bro got into Strife mode, he got into Strife mode: put up or shut up.

Fighting was his setup. He had to go quiet to let the beatdown music reverberate in his ears, after all. But he did let himself ask one question, as he tossed Mushu in fan form up and down in his hands.

"The hell do you work."

Bro was handy with a sword, ninja stars, and various other forms of weaponry, but he'd never handled a fan before.

"Whoa...hey! I'm a fan not a baton! Stop the tossin' before I light you up man!" The little etching went silent for a moment, glowing dimly while Mushu muttered to himself.

"How do I work...take a second to think on it! I'ma bladed fan and if ya wanna step it up, I got a nasty fire power to." If the resonation was strong enough of course. If not then there'd be a whole hell of a lot of smoke.

"Can't handle things like that, I can stab things."

"Do I look like Memoirs of a Geisha to you."

Bro hadn't exactly gone through the whole tutorial concerning soul resonation, so the concept was still fairly new to him-- he was used to flying solo, moving things on his own time and maneuvering at his own (breakneck) pace. This would prove to be something difficult, but as always, he took it in Strider stride: cool-faced, he went into a stance, knowing that this was going to be a different kind of fight than usual.

...For one, he didn't have his super speed and his super strength. For another, he wasn't fighting his brother.

"You scratch my back and I scratch yours, beef jerky. You think you can keep up."

"Yeah...don't make me say what you look like." The little dragon gave a mental glare before focusing his attention on the kishin. At least things were going alright so far. S'long as he could hold this form they'd be alright. For a while.

Great.

"I can keep up hotshot! Ain't no one else in this town better at that then me! Let's get this started man!"
