[9:01 AM]
There was a thud as Ranma landed on the roof of a house.
Orion quickly wriggled out from under the pigtailed boy's arm and landed lightly on the ground. “I thought losing them was going to be a piece of cake,”
“Hey hey! It's not the police anymore.” Ranma retorted. “And besides, it's not like it's my fault I landed on the black limo. And it's not like I was asking the president of...” Ranma paused. “what was it?”
“Mishima industry.” Orion supplied, before he muttered "Not president...CEO" under his breath.
Ranma shrugged. “Right, It's not like I was asking the CEO of that stupid company to be inside.” He showed no signs of admitting that he had been wrong.
There was a shout from below and Ranma ran to the edge of the roof. “Nyah nyah, can't catch me.” he hollered down at the men and women in uniform.
That was when his position was lit up with hundreds of bullets.
“Idiot,” the cat commented as he watched the pigtailed boy frantically scramble away from the edge.
[10:00 AM]
“Are they still following us?”
The cat looked down and saw several jeeps narrowly avoiding collisions as they drove recklessly, sometimes diving right into incoming traffic.
“...”
Ranma suddenly screeched to a halt, kicking several roof towers up. He covered his face as a strong wind blasted into his face.
The winds soon died down to more manageable levels. Ranma slowly lowered his hand, and then a surge of terror ran through his body as he started to back away.
Down under Ranma's arm, Orion blinked several times cursing his paws as he struggled to get the grit out of his eyes.
He finally settled for squinting.
“...”
“Correct me if ...m wrong, but...companies are not supp... to own th...own attack ...copters, right?” Orion hollered, his voice barely making it through the din of the rotor blades.
“How would I know?!” Ranma roared back as he prepared to turn and run.
“Then you....wouldn't know the ans-...the legality of nonmil-...attack helico-...firing reck...on ...ians!”
“...”
Before Ranma could ask Orion to repeat that, a clanking sound drew his attention. Because of his recent experiences of war that the stupid cat forced upon him, Ranma immediately identified it as a missile rack. And it looked like a missile was jiggling in its harness.
“Run!” Orion shouted.
He needn't have bothered, Ranma was already turning around and making a break for it 0.38 seconds before the cat said the word. Because of those war things, Ranma now knew that missiles did any number of things. But sticking around to find out was just stupid. They often blew up, taking out whoever was nearby.
*BOOM*
Case in point.
The pigtailed boy felt several small chunks of gravel strike him from the near miss. Soon he was experiencing a momentary surge of disorientation as the heat of the blast passed over him. Shaking his head to clear it, he quickly recovered his bearings and continued running. Faster this time. Before the chopper fired again.
And blowing them up in the process.
“Head to the school. I heard that that Nuku girl can take down things like these!”
Ranma really didn't like that suggestion too much.
