After a few hours, Julia is completely exhausted, and just lays on the floor sprawled out. "I give up." "Aww, don't be like that, Julia." Korin chuckles, and walks over to her.

Julia just lays there, panting... "No really... you're too fast... and I thought I was fast... jeez..." Korin chuckles, and walks off... "You'll get the hang of it."

The next day, after waking up from sleeing in Korin's little house, Julia was off to a new start chasing Korin, and still to no avail. "Aw come on, please slow down, cat!"

Julia already felt like giving up the chase, but Korin seemed to think something was funny... he smiled and walked up to her. "What's up this time, miss? Quitting again?"

Julia takes a step toward Korin, and nods her head... "Yeah, I just can't... do this!" Korin seems to have some look to his face... he knows something's going on here, but he plays along, and steps toward Julia, too.

"HYAH!" She dropped the act and tried to grab the... fading after image of the water jar... "OWW!" Korin kicked her right in the back of the head for that one. "Too slow, miss. Too slow. You can't fool someone like me I know every little thing that's going on in your mind."

"That's no fair, cat. You can't read my mind! How will I ever catch that thing if you know everything I'm doing before I've done it?!" Korin just laughs, and answers... "It'll come clear in time, girl."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Julia starts to approach Korin, and swipes, while complaining... "I mean, I'll never catch you like this." She fakes a move, but then appears behind him, and... GRABS HIS CANE as he barely jumps away from her, then vanishes, and kicks her in the back of the head again. "OWW! Stop doing that!"

Julia stops cringing in pain, and realizes... "Oh yeah... I grabbed your cane for a second there... but..." Korin is stood there with a sweatdrop beside his face, and Julia continues... "...how can that be if you can read my mind?"

Julia grins a little bit, and realizes something... but meanwhile, Korin thinks... "Oh snap, I'll have to be more careful from now on... she's catching on. But that doesn't mean she can catch me. I'm faster than she is, and I'm smarter."

Julia starts chasing Korin again, but this time, she's complaining and talking as much as possible, to prevent him from reading her thoughts. But he still seems to have the advantage.

By the end of the day, Julia was exhausted, and laying on the guest bed, asking Korin a few feet away on his own bed... "Why can't I catch you, even if you can't read my mind?" "Because I can still read your movements. I'm listening to your breathing, your heart beat, and watching every action you take. Meanwhile you're just rushing at me like you're berserk or somehting. Anyway, nevermind that now... go to sleep, Julia. You can try some more tomorrow."

The next day, Julia decided against rushing straight in to the whole 'chase Korin' thing... and spent her time thinking strategies. But while she was doing this, she kept on saying random meaningless words and yelling things, or just humming, to keep Korin out of her head.

After she was satisfied, Julia started to approach Korin, while yelling some random crap about sponges and dandelions... but doing this made it hard for her to concentrate, too, even though Korin was kept out of her head... she had to focus.

Now yelling about grapefruit, grapes, and mangos, Julia kept on approaching Korin, making him back out toward the railings. She has him cornered.

Continuing to yell random things about random... things... or whatever, Julia's eyes move toward the water... and back to Korin... "I have to get this right the first time."

She shifts a foot forward slightly, and watches Korin back away further... but he collides with the railings... "Nowhere to go, Korin." She'd say between her randomness.

She began to focus, slowly... calmly... and then, she'd feel ready... "One shot... come on Julia." Korin actually looks a little worried. "If she misses, won't she go over the edge?"

"Apple apple apple apple ORANGE kiwi." She yelled 'orange' extra loud, making Korin suddenly think she was making her move then, but she actually pounced when she said kiwi.

Julia leaped at Korin... or so an after image did. She descended upon him from above on his left, and landed hugging on to his cane. "GOT IT!" "Wha-?"

Korin falls over due to Julia's weight tipping the little cat over, but she keeps hold of his cane, and removes the water, handing him back his staff. "I caught it!" "Wow, but... your methods were kind'a strange... very strange... I don't think anyone's taken the water by yelling fruit at me before..."

Julia drinks the water... "Hey wait a minute... nothing changed..." "Sure it did, you got faster and smarter after all that chasing you did. The water's just tap water, the real strength comes from you..." "That sounds so lame, but if it's true, then cool!" She hands back the empty container.

Julia calls for her nimbus, and after saying good bye to Korin, or 'cat' as she STILL calls him, she SWOOSHES off in to the horizon, heading for Hercule City.

Korin continued. "The dying's slowing, but it's still above normal. Which means they've found the cause."
Shiro rose an eyebrow. "They? Who's they?"

Korin chuckled a bit as he answered. "Your girlfriend, for starters (Shiro rose an eyebrow, but ignored that comment), and a few of the tournament fighters. And a few people you haven't met. They've been working hard to stop whatever's been happening."
Shiro nodded. "Then I guess I'm not needed?"

Korin sighed. "No, apparently not. But that doesn't mean you can just sit around and do nothing."
"I won't. I'll be waiting in case they wind up needing my help." Shiro replied.

"Now, if you don't mind, I have some training to do." Shiro suddenly said as he leapt onto the railing. "See ya, Korin." And with that, he leapt out, onto his waiting cloud. The two flew off, leaving Korin behind.

Ava had gotten some rest and all after her endeavors with Gozu last night. Sat on the edge of the tower, she has her jacket off, folded on her lap, looking down at it....
"This really isn't as heavy as I was lead to believe..."
She holds the 300kg jacket up effortless with one hand....
"What a waste of money..... I'm taking these weights back....."

Ava gets to her feet, signalling for her Nimbus to come to her. She then hops on, jacket in hand (right). Now flying off, she heads back for Hercule City.

He would slowly place his hands in the lose areas of the tower. At first it would seem easy, nothing to bad would happen yet.
