Hayabusa Village (Ninja Gaiden)

The home village of Ryu Hayabusa. It's basically a typical small ninja village.

*There are 5 Jiggies in the topic.*

1) Target Practice. Hit 15 out of 20 to win
2) Rogue Ninjas holds the Jiggy outside the village.
3) Defeat Knuckle Joe
4) Event Portal somewhere in the forest.
5) Rogue Ninja Invasion (if all 4 Jiggies are collected)

Aya enters the topic.

Followed by Erix, John, and Cameron.

John: So... where would we find this ninja?

Aya: Good question...

Aya starts to walk through the village, being careful as to where she steps.

As do John, Erix, and Cameron, Erix not being careful or delicate in his steps and Cameron moving like she already knows what's safe to step on. Meanwhile, Ryu Hayabusa is in the dojo, slicing apart various training dummies.

Aya comes upon the dojo entrance and listens in.

As do the other members of the White Platoon. The sound of slicing things apart is heard inside the dojo and is so lifelike it seems like Ryu is hacking apart people.

Aya: Dear lord...

John: I'm kind of against going in there.

Aya: Right about now, getting the raptor doesn't sound like much of a bad idea, but since we're here...

Aya enters the dojo.

Right about then, she would see Ryu hacking apart the training dummies.
Cameron: I'm kind of against the idea of not going in there.
John: Gee, thanks.[/sarcasm]
Cameron: You're welcome.

Aya is relieved.

Aya: Uhm, excuse me...

Ryu instantly stops slicing apart the dummies. There is an odd silence as the pieces of them all fall to the ground.
Ryu: What is your business at Hayabusa Village?

Aya: We require your assistance. You see, one of our friends is in trouble and we can't get to the infirmary because it's guarded by pressure plates and motion detectors.

Ryu: And why should I care?

Aya: Because if we don't get him into the infirmary, he'll die.

Ryu is silent for a few seconds before going back to his training, which consists of slicing training dummies apart.

Aya waits for him to at least stop and respond.

John: I don't think he cares.
Meanwhile, five black meteors land in the middle of Hayabusa Village. As meteors are not the stealthiest things in the world, the impact and noise can be heard all around the place.

Aya: What was that!?

Cameron: Probably meteors.
John: What are the chances of meteors hitting the place?
Meanwhile, the meteors burn away, revealing several Gloom soldiers and The Shade underneath.

Aya: Something tells me these aren't average day metoers! Come on!

Aya runs out of the dojo and back into the village.

As do John, Cameron, Erix, and Ryu (who stopped his training to investigate). Meanwhile, the Glooms twirl off (think KH2's Nobodies or Cirque du Soliet) to suck the light out of Hayabusa Village while The Shade looks on.
