Soul Arena Volume 1 extra:
Omake/Mini-comic #2:
(Lance, Katie and Toshiro’s chibi head appear on the screen)
Lance, Katie and Toshiro in:
“Don’t touch that mop!”  (chibi-style)
It was around dinnertime, and the gang (which now includes the whole team) was arguing over who would wash the dishes.  Currently, it was down to Katie, Lance, and Toshiro.  Katie and Toshiro were arguing and Lance was playing his video games, completely oblivious to their conversation.
“…All I’m saying is that as rookies, you two need to learn how to handle some of the responsibilities around here.”
“I understand,” replied Toshiro. “But shouldn’t we do it in the order that Ken said it should be done?  According to him, it IS your turn.”
“Yes, but since you guys are now part of the team, you are automatically added to that order, and Lance comes before me now.”  (She’s not acting b@#$%y, is she?)
Shuddering, Toshiro said, “Do you WANT to destroy this place?!”
“What are you talking about?  Why shouldn’t Lance to the dishes?”
Shuddering again, Toshiro said, “Let’s just say that Lance shouldn’t be trusted with a mop.  Ask Lance”
Going over to Lance, Katie asked him “Why does Toshiro say that you shouldn’t do chores?”
Putting down his game, Lance said, “It’s kind of a long story.”
Pulling up a chair, Katie said, “I’m all ears.”
“Well…”
(Flashback)
“Lance, honey, can you wash the dishes, please?”
“Okay, mom!” shouted back a 7 year old Lance.
Whistling, Lance began to wash the dishes.  After about 10 minutes, he remembered something and rushed to the phone, unaware that he had left the water running with a towel clogging the drain.
(10 minutes later)
Putting the phone back, Lance noticed that the floor leading to the kitchen was wet.  Opening the door he soon found out why as the house was flooded, sweeping up and destroying many parts of the house.
(End flashback)
Eyebrow’s raised, Katie said, “So, you flooded the house?”
“Yep.  Well, that and a couple of other things.”
“Like what?”
(Flashback)
A seven-year old Lance is washing windows.  He notices one spot on the window won’t come off.  He scrubs harder.  It still won’t come off.  Agitated he scrubs like crazy.  It still won’t come off.   He tries even harder.
CRACK!  SMASH!
First, a giant crack appears, originating from the spot where the pot originated.  Then, all the glass shatters.  Lance stares, wide eyed.
(End Flashback)
(Another Flashback)
An eight-year old Lance is doing the laundry.  He accidentally fills up the Washer with too many clothes and puts in too much soap.
After pressing the start button, five minutes of waiting pass by.
3…2…1…0
BLAAAAAMMM!
The washer bursts opening, sending Lance through several walls and destroying one of the houses bathrooms, VIA a clothes canon from the washer.
(End Flashback)
(Flashback)
The house looks normal for a second before half of it explodes.  Among the remains, it shows Lance, with his now charred (cartoon-style) family, as it zooms on him, trying to vacuum up the house.
(end flashback)
“And then there was the Lawn-mower incident-“
“Wait!  So, it’s not that you won’t do chores-“
“It’s that he SHOULD’T do chores!  Whenever he does, he causes mass property damage!” interrupted Toshiro.
Rolling her eyes, Katie said, “That’s about as believable as Roy putting on a pair of shoes!  Like I’d believe that!”
(Two minutes later)
(the entire RV is flooded)
Toshiro (underwater, to Katie, who's wide eyed): “I TOLD ya so!”

Moral of the comic:  Whenever you’re doing chores, be sure to watch what you’re doing!  Otherwise, property damage awaits!
