The Little Lip Theater had a problem, a big problem. One that threatened to destroy them more than even a demon invasion by Oda Nobunaga or Satan himself: lawsuits! For the past week Sunnyside had to pay off over twenty lawyers to drop cases before they could actually go to court. Someone in the theater was causing havoc in New York city with a pair of pistols! None of the current cases were particularly disastrous: a broken window here, a grazed leg there, but it was only a matter of time before this became a serious problem!
"Ratchet, would it be at all possible for you to throw Rosarita's guns into the ocean?" Sunnyside asked his assistant for the most reasonable solution.
Ratchet shook her head "We tried that, Shinjiro and Gemini are still putting ice on their bite wounds from when she found out."
"Well we need to do something! She's threatening my bottom line...and the people of New York!" Sunnyside quickly added on the last bit.
"I agree completely, sir! That's why I called in support from Japan!" Ratchet smiled as she pulled out a large box of bullets. "When I fought together with the Flower Division in Japan, Kohran had invented spiritual energy bullets that were particularly effective against demons. Once we learned about Rosita's...habits, I asked her to create a new modified version. These bullets won't be able to pierce human skin no matter what kind of gun shoots them!"
Examining the bullets, Sunnyside smiled "Perfect. Getting hit with these would be no worse than a mosquito bite. I'd like to see anyone sue us over that!"
"Glad you agree, sir! I'll replace Rika's bullet supply with these right away." Ratchet took back the box of bullets and made her way downstairs. In the theater lobby she spotted a now familiar sight of Rika pulling on a piece of steak with her teeth. Shinjiro, the actual owner of the steak tried his best to pull it back with his fork. On either side of them the member of the Star Division cheered and encouraged whoever they thought was stronger in this battle of souls.
The battle over the steak also gave Ratchet a perfect opportunity to stealthy reach into Rosarita's poncho, take away her old bullet supply, and slip in the new bullets. With the bullets switched, Ratchet was satisfied that no one in or outside the theater was in danger of getting harmed.
Unfortunately for Ratchet, these new bullets would have unforseen consequences. They may not pierce human skin, but they could knock a soul out of its body like it was nothing. If two bullets were to hit different bodies the souls of the victims were bound to switch places.
And even more unfortunately for every citizen of New York, Rosarita was bound be the one to discover this sooner rather later as once Shinjiro finally reclaimed his steak from her she puffed her cheeks and yelled "No fair! No fair!" Grabbing her guns she began to shoot around rapidly, spinning around like a tornado as she unleashed bullets all over the lobby.
