Breakfast: Most Important meal before a fight

"What're you girls having?"

"I'm going to have the Meat Platter," Foxy says. "Bacon, and two kinds of sausages. Yum~!"

"I'm going to have some pancakes," Flashfire says. "With bacon on the side!"

"I'll just have a bowl of warm oatmeal," Nuh says, "so I can absorb the heat."

"I want to try that French Toast," Blackfire says. "Regular toast may be average, but perhaps 'French' means something like 'Exotic' or 'Elegant'."

The robo-waitress wheels back to you, and you all give it your orders. It wheels away, taking your menus.

As you wait, a few people walk in. One is reptilian, and another is humanoid, but both have black outfits on. They sit at a table halfway across the room. You decide not to worry about them.

Your food quickly arrives, and you five dig right in.

It takes a mere matter of minutes for you all to finish eating, and you get up to pay at the front desk. It is only then that you noticed that the two people in black haven't had anything except drinks.

You pay the amount, æ10.50 ($55.75), and give a 15% tip to be nice. The girls lead you outside, and you head further to the right.

You only go one block before noticing that the reptilian and humanoid duo from the diner are following you.

You walk a bit farther, pretending not to notice them. Then, at a corner, you turn and attack.

*ZING BOOM* you fire a bolt at their feet. The musicians and crowd don't disperse, but instead play "fighting" music.

The humanoid steps back, but the reptilian charges forward. The musicians play a vigorous rhythm. to match his steps.

*WOOM* He swings his scaly tail at you, but you jump over it.

He continues his spin and grabs for you with his hand. You can see sharp claws shine in the light.

You step back, and narrowly avoid his grasp.

*ZING BOOM* You fire another starbolt, and it hits him in the chest. The reptilian stumbles back.

The humanoid finally joins the fight, and uses the reptilian as a jumping point.

He front flips, and his heel comes down at your head. You catch him with your hands, and throw him to the girls.

*POW* Blackfire punches him in the face, and he falls to the ground.

You grab the lizard by his clothing, and pull him close.

"Who are you guys?" you demand. "And why are you following us?"

"Transgression sends his regards," he hisses.
