Kano took a step towards the doorway like he belonged, he did belong, his clothes were inside. But the guards looked quickly among each other and then within a second there were not one, not two, but four halberds blocking his entrance into the building. Kano took a step back, "Sorry kiddo, no entry allowed, its a party." The guard who spoke took a better look at him, "Actually, why are you wearin-" he never finished his sentence as Kano whacked him in the face with his fist. It knocked him off balance and Kano pressed his advantage while the guards were still reeling from what had happened. His punching fist folding in Kano rammed his shoulder into the off balance guard knocking him back into the guard behind him. On the other side the other two guards were now pulling it together and leveling their weapons at Kano.
A great smile crossed Kano's face he was always up to a fight, but right now he had his priorities straight, he needed to enter and reacquire his clothes. His unused arm now morphed, where his forearm had once been now appeared a bottle rocket, punching forward he launched it straight into the pair of guards. They did not know what hit them, at such a close range they had no time to dodge as the rocket accelerated into them exploding in a dazzling shower of pyrotechnics that knocked them both out with out much problem. As his arm reformed he took a look at his fist blew on it a little then pretended to brush away some dust, pride was settling within his system once more. He felt so full of energy right now. Stepping before the great entrance-way into the palace he pressed both hands on the doors and pushed. They thankfully were not locked and they opened into a familiar hallway.
Peeking in, he noted patrols of guards and patrols of pirates walking through the palace. They were perhaps looking for people who may have tried to escape the ballroom. This was all part of the game right? One had to avoid their clockwork patrols and get safely from one place to another, he had played these games all the time with the kids. Not that Kano was particularly good at it, in fact when he played the guards he was generally pretty terrible at the game. The kids found it easy to distract him though sometimes Kano's speed got the better of them anyways. A distraction, yes that was what Kano needed. Looking down he realized he had nothing to create a distraction with, the clothes on his body were basically all he had to his name at the moment. Then it hit him, he could use his ability, maybe some fireworks on the inside might liven it up and distract the guards enough. It would have definitely distracted him, and if it worked on him, then it should work on others. Or so his thought process went.
As a patrol passed the front door Kano waited a moment and then stepped in behind them. For a moment he waited for them to pass further before following along a decent distance behind. He needed to create a distraction yes but he didn't feel like the front door was the right place, the right place was ... that. The patrol was hitting a crossing between what seemed to be two major corridors than ran threw the palace. Kano walked forward as cautiously as he could coming to the center of the corridor and looking down the four directions. It was vaguely familiar, in fact he thought for a moment that he remembered his dressing room being down the corridor to his left. Looking up Kano saw the majesty of this main hallway. It was quite grand with its tapestries, banners hanging from the ceiling and all sorts of beautiful lights lining the walls, obviously it would look better after Kano put in his two cents. But it was quite good already he would admit to that.
Feeling the excitement to come Kano raised both of his arms, he did not have much time given that the next patrol was sure to be coming if not more than just that. But Kano had to take a moment to enjoy the scenery. Both of his arms switched out for fireworks as he took aim and sent them off down two of the corridors. And again, and again he fired off at least three fireworks down every corridor, even the one he planned to go down. As they exploded, tapestries and banners set on fire, and everything began to burn. It was great, Kano turned down the hallway he thought his clothes would be down and charged off. Before him the patrol that he had been following had turned back around and were now racing towards his with their weapons drawn.
"Hahahahahahaha" Kano laughed as he ran down the hallway towards them. Both of his arms behind him were forming new bottle rockets, this time there was no feeling of emptiness. He was full of ammunition the two guards drew there swords as they charged towards him. Kano threw forward both arms launching the bottle rockets toward them. One of them dodged it, the other had it explode before him knocking him out in the continued explosion and pyrotechnic display. Giving a smile Kano appreciated those who could dodge those abilities they were generally decent fighters at the least. As he closed the distance his arms began to reform, the guards sword was out before him. He timed his swing well and as Kano came within striking distance the sword came upon him from the side. Kano dodged, wincing as the sword grazed his chest before passing dropping a little blood. Perhaps his wounds were worse than he thought, normally he thought he would have dodged that fine.
Stumbling slightly Kano regained his footing before turning on his opponent who was swinging his sword upon Kano once again. Kano jumped backwards this time enhancing his jump with a quick bottle rocket explosion at his foot to ensure his own safety. His jump slammed him into the wall behind him but that made no difference to Kano. It only excited some of the wounds on his back, but Kano shook it off and kicked off from the wall at the guard. Launching himself high into the air he dropped with his leg coming down in an axe kick which would've landed squarely on the man's shoulder had he not blocked it with his sword. The sword in the way caused Kano to pivot downwards, but Kano was quick to react, it was the power of free form fighting. Dropping his hands down he caught himself in a handstand and swung his second foot around catching the guard square in the jaw. It knocked him out without a problem. Getting back up to his feet Kano put some pressure on his leg wincing a little, slamming into the metal blade had not made his leg very happy.
Smiling to himself he gave another laugh before hurrying on, around him flames were starting to catch everywhere, the banners burned brightly behind him where his first rockets had hit and before him where the missed rocket had caught something else on fire. The heat was starting to emanate throughout the palace, even if Kano did not feel it he saw it.
