"I'm telling you this, because who you fought and my order are enemies, and since you just started fighting them, I figured you should know who not to fight. Plus there's the you barging into my temple demanding answers. My order is made up of special creatures whom people who know about us call 'transformed animals', which is basically what we are. We are animals that through certain activities have changed into human form, but retain some of our animal capabilities. We can be killed as easily as a normal human, but there are also people who have the ability to change us back into our animal forms, like your "chicken" our there, who is actually Tsou Tsung, unless there is another extremely smart chicken I am unaware of. Anyway, the people you fougth today are called the architects of the flesh. They are a relatively new faction, because they destroyed the old architects of the flesh and are now a much more formidable organization. As you saw, they have the ability to transport from one place to another. How they do it is as much a mystery to you as it is to us. This comes to my last reason of telling you this. I want you to help us find their teleporting bases and destroy them. Before you ask, I cannot do this because the temple you stand in right now is one of the magical sites, but it has more power than most, and myself and the top members of my order are here to guard it. So...what do you say?"

"The reason we entered this temple with guns drawn was that we thought this was where these Architect pukes had taken that girl. Apparently, we were sadly mistaken.

"And you didn't answer my question from earlier, which I consider a fairly important one: why are you and the other factions fighting over these sites? As an officer of the law, it is my duty to protect the people of Hong Kong from this kind of violence."

 

[Corlon]

"bah, law means nothing in this war. The law is who is fighting this war, they just keep all the people in the dark for many different reasons. Why do we fight, why do they fight? It's all for different reasons, but mainly the power of these sites. My order fights for the preservation of our race. We needs sites attuned to the ki energy in order to stay in our human forms, and for rare ones of my type, reverting from human form means nothing less than death. The architects fight for more and more power to rule the different time zones, as they have already taken over their own. They fight this war for the reasons countries in this time fight wars, for more land, power, and money. Once they have it all, what they will do still remains a mystery. One thing you have to remember about the architects though is that they are almost all of their ranks are made up of those corrupted by evil."

You finally enter a room after this long conversation. "Now, would you like to know what I would like you to do? In the end you may not end up on our side, but I very much doubt you will end up on theirs so this will help us both."

"You can tell us, I have nothing against speaking."

Dennis has felt out of place ever since arriving in Hong Kong. It wasn't until entering this temple, though, that he felt the weight of those thousands of miles separating him from Wisconsin. These people are seriously whacked in the head, he thinks to himself.

"Excuse me mister...uh," Dennis says and waves his hand limply at the samurai. "Yeah, you with the sword. Guess I didn't catch your name. Nice outfit, by the way.

"You said that the chicken here was like one of you. Is there a way to turn him back into a burger joint manager? I suspect he'd probably like that."

"I believe he," One Eye said as he indicated Sun Jin with his thumb, "mentioned that once these guys get turned back into animals, they're stuck that way for good. It sucks, but that's the way it seems to work according to him."

 

[Velmont]

"No, there is no way to give him back his form... and damn, why am I listening to them? Less than a year ago, I would have hunted them just knowing they are what they are... and they just told they don't give a damn about laws and only care for their bloodsheding war.

So, tell us what you want from us and one good reason not to give you the scare of your life!"

Edge puts a hand in Sun Jin´s shoulder and makes a shrug like saying "Actually, what´s the point of that?" He draws yet another card, so the weird temple´s newcomers can read it:

***************
*.......................*
*..SO,..WHERE´S..*
*....THE..GIRL?.....*
*.......................*
***************

 

[Corlon]

The samurai draws his sword faster than lightning and chops the card edge is holding so that it cuts diagonally through the words.
"We don't know where the girl is! We'd suspect she'd be in one of their complexes, but we aren't sure which one and as I have repeated many times, we can't leave the temple without running the risk of it being taken, and as of now, most of the order is off in other countries securing more sites, so we don't have the extra man power. Now, one more time, Will you help us? Her life is definitelly in danger.

 

[Velmont]

"Now, one more time, Will you help us? Her life is definitelly in danger.

"One more time, before accepting, what do you ask us exactly. Help come in many way, and not killing you is already a first step."
