Kaneo Takarada | Kill La Kill

[takaradical]

1
[Kaneo Takarada is the heir of the Takarada Conglomerate, an overseas financial powerhouse that's only now extending its influence into the West. Though young, inexperienced, and more than a little bratty, Kaneo's proven time and time again that those disadvantages can be overcome with business acumen and an unholy amount of cold, hard cash.

Golden Tiger, on the other hand, is a greedy, villainous lout who uses his seemingly inexhaustible resources to fund a series of break-ins and robberies. Like, for example, stealing priceless fossils from the Venture City Museum, which is happening right now. At this very second.

Somebody should probably do something about that.]

C'mon, we don't have all day! Time is money, people, and the spandex patrol will be here any minute now!

[Not that he's going to go down and help his procession of sharply-dressed minions move the merchandise or anything. Too busy standing on top of a golden robo-crab the size of an SUV in the museum lobby and gesturing grandiosely for any of that.]

[arcadian_vampire]

The Omegafriends won't be necessary here.

[Hey Golden Tiger. Right behind you. The T-Rex skeleton. Somebody is standing on its head, where there was nobody a moment before.]

The likes of you aren't worthy of a hero's gaze. Instead, you shall face me!

[takaradical]

[Takarada Tiger nearly jumps out of his skin at the sound of his voice. He manages to collect himself long enough for a dramatic turn and point, thankful that nobody can see him sweat under his heavy ceramic mask. Man, that was fast.]

You? That's a real laugh! Why don't ya come back when you're not all dressed up for the ren faire? Get 'em!

[The minions who are carrying the goods take a step back while the ones on guard duty raise their weapons and open fire on Valvatorez. But not with bullets. With money. They are shooting money out of their guns.]

[arcadian_vampire]

[The money... strikes empty air! Where the mysterious interloper once stood is instead a swarm of bats!]

[Unfazed by the storm of hard cash, the bats overwhelm the goon squad. When Valvatorez reforms, they're all out cold.]

Ordering your goons rather than facing me yourself? You insult my pride, Golden Tiger!

[takaradical]

[Welp. There goes that plan. He tries his best not to look panicked and starts to frantically tap at the smartphone in his hand.]

Oh, I'll do more than that. This Dracula act doesn't scare me one bit, ya hear! [And a sinister arm fold.] Dōtonbori Robo, weaponize!

[The crab does a full 180 and raises its pincers menacingly. With a mechanical click-whirr, ports open up all along its chassis to reveal an array of weaponry. Machine guns coming out of the sides, flamethrower hidden in the mouth, and... are those gourds? Yes those are gourds poking up out of its back, okay.

And then it just shifts forward and swipes at him with a claw. That's fine, didn't need all those guns anyway.]

[arcadian_vampire]

[Valvatorez leaps! He lands on top of the claw that just tried to crush him, sword suddenly in hand.]

Your mechanical crab is magnificently well-constructed. I offer my earnest praise to its designer.

[takaradical]

Thanks. Might'a cost me a hefty chunk of change, but it was worth it.

[The machine guns swivel and open fire on Valvatorez and yep they're shooting money too. Gotta stick to a theme here.]

[arcadian_vampire]

And to the designer I also send my apologies!

[FLASH OF LIGHT AND MOVEMENT. A moment later, all of the moneyguns are cut in half.]

[takaradical]

[Aww no. Aww jeez. Things are not looking good for ol' GT.]

Hey! You're gonna pay for that!

[That was supposed to be a money pun, but it kinda flew under the radar. Regardless, here he goes swiping at him with the free claw.]

[starsburn]

H--hey! Hold it right there!

[ This big, ringing proclamation, coming from the head of some giant fossil, would sound a lot more impressive if the girl posing there didn't sound absolutely terrified as she was making it.

What? She's new at this. ]

P-put all those fossils back where they came from! I'm not going to let you get away with this!

[ OH NO SHE DIDN'T INTRODUCE HERSELF-- hastily amending that last sentence. ]

I mean--! I mean, I, Black Rock Shooter, won't stand for this!

[takaradical]

[Wow, are you even trying? This is almost starting to make him seem competent now. The crab turns, and him with it, just so he can properly deliver a derisive snort in her direction.]

You think a little pebble like you can take on the great Golden Tiger? Might as well quit while you're ahead, kiddo!

[starsburn]

[ SHE'S TRYING HER BEST OKAY

She looks a little startled when he turns around to face her and actually leans back a bit -- though she doesn't actually step back which... is something, right?

She's lost for a comeback for a moment, but then clears her throat and hastily delivers the first thing she can think of; ]

You might be gold, but the little bird collects an entire rainbow of colours before it turns black!

[ yes, she did just reference a children's picture book




if it's any consolation, even Shooter is cringing at how lame she sounds. ]

[takaradical]

[man what

Tiger actually pauses for a second to try and process that. What the heck is this kid even going on about? Then he looks down at his minions, eye twitching under his mask. Not even going to bother with a comeback here.]

Don't just stand there, you morons! Shoot her!

[And then, a barrage of high-speed legal tender headed her way.]

[starsburn]

[ YELP

It's a good job Shooter can move fast because she's caught off guard enough that she doesn't move until they actually start to fire. The bullets mangle the bottom of her coat but she manages to escape unscathed, and tumbles to the floor.

She lands fairly inelegantly, but manages to scramble to her feet and keep running. She's aiming to get to the giant... spider robot thing but who knows how she's actually planning on getting to it. ]

[takaradical]

[Dramatic clothing damage is probably the worst she'll get out of that, because these are your bog-standard henchman and can't hit the broad side of a barn. Tiger, on the other hand, is a little quicker on the uptake and starts to tap away on his smartphone.]

Hold still, little bird! This'll only hurt for a second.

[And that sure is a giant robo-crab leg coming down on her head.]

[starsburn]

[ A girl with a slightly more level head on her shoulders might have taken this as a cue to dodge -- Shooter takes it as a cue to pull a ridiculous stunt.

There's a churning of metal, a blur of fire and then a cannon is mounted on her left arm. With no apparent effort, she swings it up and the leg of the robo-crab crashes into it. She grits her teeth, her arms shaking with the effort of keeping the cannon there --

-- then she heaves, with every iota of strength she has, to push it over. ]

[takaradical]

[Even he has to admit, that takes a lot of guts. Maybe this newbie's good for something after all. The crab pushes down hard on her, pistons hissing with effort, but she has the leverage and the determination and soon the whole thing goes staggering back. It's not completely down, but it's definitely off-balance and Tiger's having a hard time trying to maneuver its bulk.

Now would probably be a good time to do something or other.]

takaradaaaaa

[keeperofdeath]

Fossils, huh.

[Wow, when did she get here? Also standing on top of that golden robo-crab, and kind of just looking around, unamused.]

mandyyyy

[takaradical]

[Who wa

hejibuh

HOW?]

Hey! Get offa there! This ain't a place for kids, y'know!

as i unquietly stalk your takarada ............

[keeperofdeath]

Actually, this is the children's area of the museum. I guess that explains why your crime is comparable to child's play.

[takaradical]

[Wow, screw you kid. He's just gonna fold his arms all cool-like.]

I didn't do this to impress anybody!

[That, at least, is true. He did it because it's fun.]

[keeperofdeath]

Good, because you're not impressing anyone anyway. Your strategy here is all wrong, also. What exactly are you going to do with these bones after you steal them? Sell them?

[takaradical]

Do I look like I got any issues with money?

[Seriously, look at him. How do you think he payed for all of this stuff? Whatever he'd get from pawning off these old bones wouldn't make much of a difference, financially.]

Figured they looked nice, maybe I could use 'em to decorate my lobby.

[keeperofdeath]

That's it.

[She's not impressed.]

That's your big plan.

[takaradical]

What, you think I'd go in for some world domination bunk? That's not how I operate, missy. I'm takin' it because I want it and that's the end of that!
