As the New Age Inn could be found fairly close to the Onyx's southwestern gates, even in this building Ash could hear the fighting outside as she raced to throw on her armor. What the fuck? Why now? Hell, just why? Ash asked herself. Maybe it was due to her lack of experience with this sort of thing, but she couldn't make sense of this. Kaori finished up next to her, but Keiko was being a tad slow. Ash noticed that and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Keiko simply nodded slowly, continuing to put her fighting outfit on, the black and gold set of clothes she'd wear to train with. Eventually, the three of them were done and they walked out, finding Satsuhiro standing outside.
"So, what the fuck is going on?" Ash asked as citizens screamed in the streets.
