Ronin-demo (33)

All Might towers over her and she is about 5'6" to be an Apache pilot. "Veronica, sorry about your dad."

"Thank you Toshi Bear...the cancer was quick." she replies with now a tired smile.

Shouta raises an eyebrow, 'Toshi Bear?' Interesting...

Colonel Bowen walks up and says loudly, "Everyone is invited to a relaxing night at the officer's bar for some cold beers, Texas hold'em and good stories."

Veronica mumbles under her breath, "Bullshit war stories of one upmanship."

"What did you say, Ward Officer Thompson?"

"Sir, there should be some good war stories." Veronica smiles sweetly. "Civilian clothes approved?"

"Officer Thompson, that is a great question and as we have civilians tonight, let your hair down." the Colonel states, "Excellent! See you all at 20.0 hours, don't be late!"

Veronica turns on her heels, "Time to get made up like a dish of fish..."

Aizawa is walking next to her and lets a chuckle out. "Haven't heard that one before."

"The British of course." Ronin smirks, "I still prefer 'war paint' since I fly an Apache. Did you know helicopters are named after Native American tribes or figures?"

Aizawa shakes his head 'no.'

"Right...sorry being in Japan and all. Army Gen. Hamilton Howze felt that helicopters were fast and agile, they would attack enemy flanks and fade away. He thought it was the way tribes on the Great Plains fought in American Indian Wars. He decided on the well-known H-13 of "M.A.S.H." Ronin pauses for a breath, "fame -- would be called the Sioux to honor the Native Americans who fought Army soldiers in the Sioux Wars. The ones that defeated the 7th Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of Little Bighorn."

"Little Big Horn?" the UA hero asks.

"A well known Indian battle victory in America or at least should be. They call it the Battle of Greasy Grass. Sadly a great battle won but the war was lost, in a horrible end...the massacre at Wounded Knee. The Seventh Cavalry fired on helpless men, women and children on a cold winter day. They left the bodies to freeze in the snow..."

Shouta clears his throat, "Hmm...history is so full of brutality. Are you, what is the tribe's name? Sioux?"

Ronin looks down at her boots, "I am an *Assiniboine descendant only...Nakota."

Aizawa stops at a green 1967 Shelby Mustang. "Hmm...nice classic Mustang."

"It was my father's. Perhaps if I get to know you better, you can take it for a drive..."Ronin winks then gets in the Mustang.

Aizawa watches Veronica rev the engine and take off with a squeal of tires. He sees how quickly the Shelby Mustang accelerates. "She drives like she flies."

*Assiniboine
The Assiniboine or Assiniboin people, also known as the Hohe and known by the endonym Nakota, are a Siouan First Nations/Native American people originally from the Northern Great Plains of North America. Today, they are centered in present-day ave also populated parts of Alberta, southwestern Manitoba, northern Montana and western North Dakota. They were well known throughout much of the late 18th and early 19th century. Images of Assiniboine people were painted by such 19th-century artists as Karl Bodmer and George Catlin.

Battle of Greasy Grass
In 1874, an Army expedition led by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer found gold in the Black Hills, in present-day South Dakota. At the time, the United States recognized the hills as property of the Sioux Nation, under a treaty the two parties had signed six years before. The Grant administration tried to buy the hills, but the Sioux, considering them sacred ground, refused to sell; in 1876, federal troops were dispatched to force the Sioux onto reservations and pacify the Great Plains. That June, Custer attacked an encampment of Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho on the Little Bighorn River,

Shelby Mustang (1967)
by Austin Taylor, on July 25, 2014, 09:00
The 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 is a classic, red-blooded, American muscle car. While the Mustang line was only three years old in 1967, this didn't stop the legendary Carroll Shelby from injecting a healthy dose of his ingenuity into the redesigned, 1967 model. These Shelby Mustangs included powerful engines, race-bred transmissions, and strong rear differentials to create the ultimate drag racers. Impressive acceleration, great looks, amazing street presence, and glorious V-8 sounds were all standard equipment.
Sure, this muscular pony may not be as insanely powerful as some of the cars of today, but remember that this thing is all motor. There are no electronic gadgets and gizmos or crazy forced-induction systems padding its numbers. It truly is a fine example of classic mechanical engineering at its finest.
