Ryu had just received verification that Sonia would in fact drop off his things.  He climbed aboard the 757, preparing himself for a long flight.  It would be a good thing too.  Not only would he have his weapons, but the giant catfish would be a good present to Helena.  He found himself a seat close to Giselle and of course Lady Yuna.  Ryu was oddly attracted to her Heterochromia, the fact that her eyes were two different colors.<br/><br/>He faced  toward some of the others, and once they were in the air he began his explanation to Giselle.  "I was calling for my weapons to be deposited at our quarters.  And also, a surprise for Helena and the group," he added, barely able to contain the smile in his voice.  He was slightly excited now, looking forward to this tournament as a training exercise.  Whatever Helena had said to him had relieved some of his fears.  However, on the outside he was still the fearsome warrior, to most earth dwellers anyway.<br/><br/>On that note, he requested information on past DOA Tournaments from Sonia.  He was going to show these people in a way that Helena could not deny, and he wouldn't be lying about it either.  He looked to Emma, and he could feel the confusion.  He wanted to alleviate her worries.  "Emma was it?" He held out his armored had for a hand shake.  "Dead or Alive Tournaments always have a hidden motive.  You may be surprised to know that I am just as confused as you are as to the true intentions of this years tournament.  However, contestants are always picked with one thing in mind, and that is raw fighting potential.  Rest your mind, and know that your being here is no mistake."<br/><br/>Ryu's phone beeped at him, informing him that he would be receiving a briefing shortly.
