Oryan and Master Roshi came to a stop in front of the Milk delivery truck and a small hut shaped house. Out walked a middle aged Canine-esque man. "Here you go, Master Roshi. You sure this kid can get the job done? He looks pretty pale."

"Oh don't worry. He's not from around here. I think he'll do fine," Roshi seemed to be bragging as he scratched his chin yet again.
Oryan didn't say anything and picked up a crate of the milk in each hand.

"I'll be going with you on this trek. Try to keep up with me, Oryan. That'll be part of the training. Take off when you're ready," Roshi said, knowing that Oryan had his weighted vest, he didn't need to give Oryan a turtle shell.
"Alright. Here I go!" Oryan then took off as fast as he could. He didn't know how long he'd need to go, so he didn't use the after image.

"This is the easy part. It's just a flat road for a while. Then we'll get into the rugged forest trail, have to cross a wide river, and then over a steep ravine." Roshi finished explaining as he kept a steady, but seemingly relaxed pace in front of Oryan.
Meanwhile Oryan was slowly feeling the effects of the long run. He wasn't winded yet, but he knew things would be tough later on.

Oryan tried to keep his breathing steady as he ran. He saw the forest's edge on the horizon. He hoped that the forest path wouldn't be too unforgiving. "Why all this milk yet we haven't made one stop yet?" Oryan asked.

"Well, where we're going the don't get Milk that often, so you need to take a lot. Here come's the forest so don't go slacking off." Roshi replied.
Oryan nodded once again and watched his footing as they entered into the heavily wooded area of the island.

He had to occasionally leap over small rocks and fallen trees and run around large rocks or trees that were in his way. "Not bad, Oryan. Now comes the hard part. Don't lose your balance and leap across the rocks." Roshi said.

Oryan wondered what the old man was talking about until he heard the sound of running water and thought about what Roshi had told him about the layout of the land prior to starting the run. He spotted the river a few moments later. Doing his best he leaped across the stones that were above the water in order to get to the other side.

Next thing that he had to cross after nearly slipping into the river was the wide ravine with only a fallen tree for a bridge. He spotted the crevice at the base of a large incline and sighed. He kept his eyes forward and concentrated as he ran across the log.

Then began the short incline that lead to a huge flight of winding stairs. By now, Oryan had nothing left but force of will driving him on. He'd lost his breath when they started crossing the river.

"Just a bit farther, Oryan. Don't go givig up now. Not when you're this close." Roshi said as he lightly jogged up the stairs. Oryan's expression shifted to a much more serious one. I won't cave now. I started this and I WILL FINISH! Oryan thought as he gave everything he had left.

Oryan's vision blurred for a moment and he didn't realize he'd reached the top of the stairs. He tripped and fell trying to go up another step that wasn't there. Luckily he was already slouching so the milk bottles didn't break when he fell because they were close to the ground. Oryan just layed there for a moment and tried to catch his breath.

"Another new pupil, Master Roshi?" One of the monks asked as they came out to pick up the milk.
"Yes, he's definitely an interesting one, too. Anyway, we have more training to do. I'll see you around." At this Roshi picked up Oryan and gave him one more moment to catch his breath before they headed back down the mountain.

Aku and Roshi arrived on the aptly named 'Milk Route' Island about five minutes after Aku's completion of his task on Farm Island, Aku could tell rather easily by the name the possibility of what he was going to be doing.

The duo landed within the city limits of a very small village, despite the size of the village it had a lot more houses than one would think. "Alright Aku this is Milk Route island, your task here is going to be taking over for the milk men of this village for today, you'll be brining milk up the mountain to the Monks that live there." Roshi said as before heading off to the building that held the milk Aku would be delivering

AKu waited patiently outside the building for Roshi, he doubted that this was going to be as easy as Roshi made it sound, nothing about these tasks was 'easy' Aku began wondering all the possible ways that the would be made difficult by Roshi.

Roshi emerged from the building carrying two crates of milk for Aku, once the two were together again Aku took hold of the cartons weighing each in his hands, they weren't exceptionally heavy which made AKu glad.

"Hey Master Roshi, I need to know, what's the hard part about this task, none of these tasks have ever been easy and just running up a mountain cant possibly be all that I'm going to be doing." Aku said give Roshi a look that told the old man that he wouldn't be leaving until he got his answers.

"Eh? well the hard part is that firstly you cant use nimbus, and second there is a 'couple Tyrannosaurus Rex's on the way up the mountain." Roshi said with a chuckle, Aku let his statement sink in for a few minutes. Yeah, this was going to be annoying.

Aku let out a sigh and began heading off out of the village and up the mountain trail, he doubted that there would be anything too dangerous for a while, they wouldn't set up a village this close to where dinosaurs roamed... right?

After about twenty minutes of running Aku had left behind all signs of the village, in fact the cilalge itself wasn't much more than a dot in his vision. It was then that he started hearing distant roars. The fun was about to begin...

After a few more minutes of running Aku encountered his first obstacle, it wasn't a T-Rex thankfully, in fact it wasn't even a carnivore, a stegosaurus stood in his path peacefully eating a bush.

"Hey big guy! Any chance you could move?" Aku asked the stegosaurus, the large herbivore paused his lunch for a moment to see what was making all the noise, he took a long look at the little demon that stood next to him and let out... well he made whatever sound it is that Stegosauri make.

Post by ~Aku on Jun 9, 2009 21:27:36 GMT -5
Aku sighed as he realized the stegosaurus wouldn't be moving, he then headed off around the ancient beast and continued his trek up the mountain. Aku had to admit, for a supposedly dinosaur riddled mountain he had encountered very few dinosaurs save the one stegosaurus he'd just left behind.

within about an hour Aku could finally see the monistary, he grinned widely and ran as fast as he could... right into the leg of a massive T-Rex. Aku sighed looking up to see the beast, and then ran with all his might away from it and into the monistary.

Within the monistary Aku delivered the milk only to find that Roshi and Nimbus were already there. "Good job Aku, you ready for the next part?" AKu grinned and nodded at Roshi as they took off for the next island.

Cajabe follows Roshi here by walking on the water in his wake. Roshi jumps off of turtle, and walks in to a village ahead... Cajabe has no choice but to follow... "I hope the training involves destroying this village..."

Sadly, Cajabe won't be destroying the village... Roshi speaks to some guy who's loading milk in to a helicopter, and then turns to Cajabe, pointing at the crates full of milk. Cajabe freezes in place... "What the hell?!"

3.
Cajabe's about to ask just what's going on here, when Roshi tells him... "Deliver this milk to all the houses on the island before it goes cold!" Cajabe takes a moment to think about this... "Hey, this could be a test of my speed... especially with these weights on my feet... hm..."

Cajabe starts doing stretches, with a smirk on his face, as he declares... "I'll finish this within the hour!" Roshi holds his cane up, and says... "But don't you dare drop one bottle, so don't go too fast!"
