South of Downtown Bosstown:<\/span><\/p>\n

Silent Blur<\/span><\/i> landed with a soft thud and ran through the rough wooded area northward towards the busiest part of the Bosstown. \u00a0The ride was a little bumpy as Adrianne juked and jumped <\/span>Silent Blur<\/span><\/i> through tall path-blocking weeds and randomly sprouting rocks. \u00a0The land route was necessary since the canopy over Bosstown was thick enough to prevent any aerial approach. \u00a0That approach would guarantee similar hull damage done in earlier travels.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were, of course, other approaches. \u00a0The east and west routes left them with too long a walk. \u00a0The north route was clear and full of nice ruins. \u00a0That approach would allow one to imagine the city\u2019s former prosperity while walking through the old ruined neighborhoods. \u00a0The path was usually a pleasing walk as there was always something new to see. \u00a0However, the ladies didn\u2019t feel like fighting wild, hungry ratcoons quite yet so avoided it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This route was best. \u00a0They only wanted to eat, shop, and have a little fun. \u00a0The sisters could hunt, fight, and kill things later.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coordinates of their landing zone was set into Captain Bubbles. \u00a0As <\/span>Silent Blur <\/span><\/i>walked, its little sailboat turned notably atop the orb\u2019s scented oil. \u00a0The city was definitely close but it was hard to recognize the land as new growths changed the landscape dramatically from season to season. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During their approach, <\/span>Silent Blur<\/span><\/i> came suddenly into a lighted area that up until now were familiar rocky paths dotted with soil. \u00a0Powerful lamps shone everywhere making the whole area look completely different. \u00a0Its new appearance was a makeshift farm for edible leafy plants. \u00a0This week\u2019s crop was mustard greens while the dandelions held aggressively onto their natural territory. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ship slowed as Adrianne was careful to step around the plants. \u00a0Not that <\/span>Silent Blur <\/span><\/i>would truly damage anything, just that she always thought it rude to step on someone else\u2019s food. \u00a0Once passed the makeshift farm, she found familiar territory and their landing zone. \u00a0Soon the three disembarked and walked the streets towards their major destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bosstown was always becoming a nice city. \u00a0Its people had a spirit to sacrifice and work hard to making the city relevant again. \u00a0It was working. \u00a0Every time the sisters visited, something improved or was new. \u00a0The city looked very modern in some areas. \u00a0Other areas needed more work but here and there they found upgrades.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ladies knew the struggles having heard the stories over and over again in Rubin\u2019s Trail. \u00a0Visiting the city and slowly seeing it recover was refreshing as well. \u00a0However, their mission was quite specific at this time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their trip into the town ended at Ge\u2019s Noodles and Subs. \u00a0This one was far better than the one at Rubin\u2019s Trail. \u00a0The decor was a bit \u201ctraditional\u201d but so was the scent that floated through the air. \u00a0It permeated the walls after decades of the Ge family\u2019s fine foods. \u00a0That familiar scent pulled them into the restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant was packed as always. \u00a0Others from Rubin\u2019s Trail as well as those from the other side of the mountain came to eat the fine foods created by the Ge kitchen. \u00a0This was by far the greatest treasure of Bosstown. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The host recognized the three ladies immediately. \u00a0\u201cWelcome ladies, would you like your regular table,\u201d the host said rising and facing them yet already walking towards the elevator. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes. Thank you Kamber,\u201d Adrianne spoke up for the three as they followed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kamber Ma had been a host at the restaurant long enough to know the honored guests from Rubin\u2019s Trail. \u00a0Stopping just long enough to grab a single menu, he continues on the familiar path to their favorite table. \u00a0A booth on the tenth level. \u00a0Near the window with the greatest view they could have of the Mech Fortress main wall\u2019s ruins.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ladies took their seats. \u00a0Cheari and Toska sat opposite Adrianne while Adrianne always insisted on facing the ruined Mech Fortress. \u00a0It was just barely visible through the canopy and thick foliage. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in ruins, Adrianne felt the power of the fortress. \u00a0It must have been greater than Rubin\u2019s Trail history made it out to be. \u00a0Rubin\u2019s Trail required so much assistance from roaming Champions and even then, the battle went on for so long. \u00a0She feared what would happen if the Mech Fortress ever regained power.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you ladies need any time to look through the menu or do are you ready?\u201d Kamber asked as the ladies sat. \u00a0He held onto the menu waiting for their answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready,\u201d Tosca spoke quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReady,\u201d Adrianne said almost as quickly as her little sister.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheari didn\u2019t even bother answering. \u00a0Everyone present knew what was going to be ordered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
