Cybernetic Threat

Sleep Paralysis

A young gifted man by the name of Leon St. Marc the 5th was dreaming. He woke up in a dark place, but was able to see images of a man fatally wounded around the abdomen area. He walked slowly towards this injured man and he sees another man appear in SWAT based uniform, with his gun lowered. Out of nowhere, the android that was in a resting state in the dream woke up and stood up. The android was so tall and it wore a symbolic Kabuki mask, covering it's face. It kneel down on one leg, besides the SWAT member and the injured man, and the two of them turned into dust, blowing between the hands of the android. It looked at St. Marc 5th, and it stood up slowly and destroyed everything in the lab with its long slander arms, then everything blacks out.

The next segment of the dream shows St. Marc 5th waking up in fear, he got up and peeked out his window, watching over New Kyushu City. He slowly walked towards his bathroom and witnessed an image of himself walking in the opposite way in a mirror-like fashion. Leon thought he was hallucinating and turned on all his lights, starting to feel uneasy about the dark. He went t the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He splashed water on his face and took another look at them mirror, and he had markings on his face, and a bit of a resemblance to the mask on the android. All of a sudden, his lights tinted green and a faint, black haze gas moved past him, he rushed out of the bathroom and started t punch his own face, trying to wake up. All the lights finally went out completely. this time, the android from his dream showed up out of the shadows, the mask of the android was glowing in the dark, it's whites were are to see,a s if it was faint white, the markings on it's mask resembled red tears and it was as if the android was actually crying out blood. the moment became more surreal when Leon couldn't move as fast to escape, as if everything went slow motion, the Android took minimum steps to reach Leon and it stretch out it's long arms to reach him, whispering the word legacy ominously in it's breathe. It grabbed Leon by his sides and took him by force, crushing his sides making it harder for him to breathe. The android used it second hand to fix Leon's face towards his and stare into Leon's eyes with its cold stare, Leon was so afraid and stun by the event and he was unable to breathe. It whispered under it's breathe again saying untrue, seek revenge, and it proceeded to toss Leon out of his own window. As Leon was falling he still could not breathe and as he started to blackout, all of New Kyushu City was covered in a black haze and his vision started to go green and as soon has he hits the ground, he blacks out.

Leon finally awoken from his nightmare, even coughing trying to catch his breathe, he felt as if there was something in the room with him, his hired bodyguard rushed into the room, and Leon being in complete shock that he is in, had his men sleep on the floor on his room, and he kept the lights on the entire night and had been doing so every since that nightmare. Leon's top bodyguard did not like what was happening at all, but in secret, this specific bodyguard was plotting to get rid of Yakyuza members who had been interrupting Leon's business, he even went as far as hiring outsiders to help him out.

Team Emerald vs. Happy Family

James and Company had to deal with the criminal family known as The Happy Family, a group of related criminals consisting of 4 people, 2 females, and 2 males, 2 of which being the parents of said teenagers. Once the bank robberies have been arrested in New York City, the true mastermind behind aiding the group, Walkner W.Vile, threaten James and company via hologram within the bank, saying a childish, cliche response of stating he will exact his revenge on James and the rest of the original Team Emerald(James, Garret, Cladd, Mia), ending the message with another meaningless childish response. The cops viewing the hologram along side games joked saying this Walkner character is so smart of completing school early, isn't smart enough to find a girlfriend.

James parting to Old Japan

After celebrating their victory over pizza at Garret’s headquarters, James was contacted by Ivan Illuton, who was away, telling him if Jordan Wayne (Dark Skull) has made any contact with him. James replied to Ivan stating he hasn’t heard from Jordan at all. Ivan told James that He picked up the signal of Jordan’s jet that had recently made its way to Japan, in addition, Ivan tells James about going to see if he was alright, for he thinks Jordan had a reason to go there. As for Garret and Mia, they were contacted by Noah for a mission of their own. Ivan have also contacted other allies who knew Jordan as well and those allies had immediately made their way to Old Japan by means necessary. As for James, it took him time to get there, however, he had to stop at South Korea, and he was to take a private plane to a safe port town off the coast of Japan. Once there, he had to use a small boat and sailed to The Gato Forest.

James and Makoshi The Huntress

James was immediately captured by a huntress by the name of Makoshi and he was sent to a small prison, for she thought of James as The White Dragon, reaching the forest village. During his time there, James had to persuade the guard to let him go, eventually, he got the guards attention and he told James he will make up a story to Makoshi in order to not be punished by her. James escapes the prison, but was quickly spotted by Makoshi and her hunters, which prompted the huntress to hunt down James in the forest, even going as far as using emergency force fields to prevent James from leaving the perimeter of the forest. She concerned James and called James a dog and insisted on chaining him up this time and she did not hesitate to fight James. James defeats without use of weapons, compared to Makoshi, who was using weapons in combat. Makoshi was furious at her defeat and had her men surround James, one man yelled for her to stop and she was told to let the boy go, this man happened to be her father, one of the village leaders. Makoshi’s father told James that he feels as though James came here for a reason, even adding that an American girl should up as well, days before James did and didn’t have trouble leaving here. At this, Makoshi’s men dropped the fields, giving James a chance to leave. James bows and thanks Makoshi’s father and told Makoshi he is sorry for the trouble, however, Makoshi was still angry had her defeat.

Mia's situation

While James was heading out further into Old Japan to find this girl, Garret and Mia were in Chicago, helping out with the case about the gangsters known as The Animal Pack, a group of released convicts who took over major parts of Chicago. The police needed all the help they could get, for because The Animal Pack was forcing people to submit to them, and actually killing off other gang members in the area. As described by police, people with bizarre eye contacts, and they wore a mask of various animals, they ID’d the head of the group as a man wearing ghostly lion mask wearing a red and black suit, in addition, they told the group that they only had this image from surveillance cameras. Garret, Noah and Mia were teamed up with a man who called himself Ghille, former navy seal, DJ, an apprentice to Ghille, and a few other high ranking police officers. As soon as they left from their briefing at TCPD, a black van rolled up, passing the police department and the faces of people with animal masks could be seen, glancing dead in the eyes of the cops standing outside, Mia, and the others. When cops tried to run for the van, a random build burst into flames and a fire started, distracting everyone from the van, and it got away. Mia did not want to continue with the mission if it means killing every one of these gangsters in sight, she insist that they go for the head gangster without shedding any violence. Garret gave Mia a stun gun and he went with Ghille, and Mia went and teamed up with DJ for the start of the mission.

Old Yakyuza isn't dead in the future

As for James, he had to deal with Yakyuza members of Old Japan who were stuck to their criminal routes. They had suppressed the locals and pretty much leeched off of them. To James surprise, they were pretty violent towards him and the group was led by some woman. James was able to take them down and it started to get risky when they took villagers hostage, in the end, James manages to save the hostages and take down the remainder of the Yakyuza gang. After this victory, the villagers told James that people are going crazy and the technology in Japan was going haywire by some virus, in addition, they told James that the Yakyuza just decided to take over, while another group known as White Dragon had taken most parts of Japan. The locals also told him of a crazy American girl dressed up in a way resembling a cat were running around. James ventured to the woods nearby to try to locate this American Cat and his first thought was his best friend, Miranda Katt. Eventually he finds Miranda arguing with a hooded figure, she was yelling at the hooded figure to return her goggles, high-tech goggles that were given to her by Ivan.

Finding Katt, Confronting Beast-Li (Lee Song)

James revealed himself and demanded the hooded figure to return the goggles, only to be taunted with minor to serious jokes, the figure even went on to say subjective jokes regarding Miranda’s custom. Eventually James confronts the hooded figure who revealed himself to be Beast-Li (Lee Song). Lee also showed his face to James and Miranda and insists that they should get to know each other by playing a game. 5 robots emerged behind the cornered Beast-Li and one of them quickly grabs Miranda and flies away. James was angered by this and Lee told James if he wants his girlfriend back, he has to try to save her, telling him to literally play hero. James didn’t sit around and had to fight off Lee and his robots while chasing down the one that has Miranda, whether James was successful or not, Miranda manages to break free and help James, and at this moment Lee confronted James and fought him, only to lose the fight. James snatched the goggles from him and told him who is he working for, and Lee, being a jokester that he is, taunted James and kept calling Miranda baby-doll, seconds later out of know where, the robot that held on to Miranda before, grabbed Lee and flew away recklessly because it was damaged. Lee’s last words to Miranda was that she was hot and that James wasn’t good enough for her, adding along the liens for her to call him. Miranda thanks James and kissed him, but in order to avoid an awkward situation, James told her what is in Tokyo, and that the two of them should go, telling Miranda that something serious is going on and it isn’t a time to mess around.

Aiding Tokyo's Finest, arrested

James and Miranda made their way to Tokyo only to find police trying to fend off gang members from the Yakyuza gang, the woman who James defeated earlier must have escape from captive, resulting in the Yakyuza being present in Northern Tokyo. James aided the cops using his skills, while Miranda used little devices that resemble flashbags to stun the gangsters and did a little fighting of her own. After the Yakuza had been defeated, the two were eventually arrested by the police. During their ride to Tokyo police HQ, a woman with sunglasses on, along with a SWAT team leader spoke to these two and told them where they came from. Miranda did the talking in Japanese; however, the woman adjusted her shades and smiled, saying they speak English in Japan as well, silencing Miranda. The woman told the two they will just keep them somewhere for it isn’t safe out there for them, calling them kids.

Proving their worth to Japanese police and SWAT

They were seated, uncuffed, next a few masked people who were captured hackers of an unknown group, and among them were a young man with pointy ears and half of his face was covered with a red scarf. He was chained up and sat in the corner of the cell, emotionless and quiet. The woman revealed herself to be Yula Steelbound, she also introduced the leader of Japanese SWAT, Hima Saito. They gave the two a quick brefing on what is going on and they did not think of James and Miranda to being members of White Dragon or that of Old Japan’s Yakyuza. Yula did see James differently, even calling him out to be of Japanese origin, to which James told her that he was born in New Japan. This caused Yula to be more focused on James. During their time there, James and Miranda had been released, and were about to be sent to a shelter. Before that could be done, Hima got a call about a large robot and a few White Dragon members entering Tokyo. To which everyone at the department started to prep for an incoming fight. James shouted that he is willing to help, but was told he was only a kid with a few tricks. James was told by Yula what is he trying do to, get himself killed out there, but James told her he needs to find his friend, a man named Jordan. They had no clue would this American man was, however, the young man in the cell with the red scarf was startled by that name. Yula didn’t like that fact that they were about to use James to fight with them, during the ride to the designated location, Yula insisted James to back down, but James and Miranda refused. At this, Yula told James he must be crazy or had balls to go into a fight with an enemy unknown to him.

Bulbot of the White Dragon, Central Tokyo Battle

The van stopped and Yula, James and Katt got out with other SWAT members inside. A random SWAT member pulled up a hologram, showing a basic blueprint of Bulbot's armor, even mentioning to everyone with a quick briefing, of Bulbot, who's reveal name is Kiro, who is the marker of such a military type armor.

James told Miranda to remain here with the police and SWAT members, and he went on ahead with Yula. During the fight, SWAT members ready their guns, however, they were stopped by an incoming transmitting from Hima, telling them to switch to rounds to disable the target, not using lethal force, for he had discovered the virus that affected machines and tech, is also present inside humans, forcing them to do someone's bidding. At hearing this, Yula did not hesitate to inform the others about this revelation Hima had made, moments later, Kiro in his Bulbot armor showed up with White Dragon members, including robots.

Lethal force was only used towards the robots, and Bulbot, the SWAT suspected him of using the virus on the people to go crazy. Kiro's armor was very strong and he was literally immune to bullets. He charged towards a few police cars, firing miniature rockets at random, causing wrecking havoc and chaos in his path. This forced SWAT and police to fall back slightly, as they were already overwhelmed by the robots and brainwashed White Dragon grunts. James rushed up behind Bulbot and held on to him, only to quickly be grabbed by the armored Kiro, he proceeded to throw James with force into a random convenient store, after this he continued to fire his rockets destroying things in his path, injuring a few police officers.

Yula managed to lead a hit on Kiro when she rushed him from the side. Kiro swung at her, however, she parried to the right and counter his attack, hitting him in the face. Kiro got back at her by pushing her to the ground with force. James emerged from the store and yelled at Kiro to surrender. Kiro stopped and looked at James and laughed. He told James what is a kid going to do to stop him, and he proceeded to aim at James. James told him he is capable of stopping him, but he was cut short, for Kiro had fired a rocket at James, destroying the car James was next to in the process. Unknown to him, James fell back behind the car and slides to the broken police cars to evade the rocket. James the proceed to pull out his sword and rushed head on into Kiro. Kiro was ready to punch James in the face, only to miss for James had slid right under Kiro and he managed to damage part of Kiro's armor by slashing him in the back. Kiro was angered by this and was focused on James, and SWAT and police had their sights aiming on Kiro, but did not fire just yet. James evaded the slow moving Kiro, who kept swinging at James, eventually he grabs James and throws him, he rushed towards James trying to body slam him, only for James to roll out of the way and grab a hold of Kiro from the back, slashing him again. He managed to grab James' leg and swung him around and throws him towards the police and SWAT that had their riot shields ready, but because of the force James was thrown in, James' body literally knocks down all 5 police officers with the shields. Kiro sent his robots in to finished off James, but the robots were easily shot down by Yula and the other cops fighting. Human White Dragon grunts were shot with stuns to prevent unnecessary casualties. Battle weary James continued to charge at Bulbot once again, but this time Kiro was aware, stating that same trick won't work again. So he had his hand lower and the other hand a bit higher to stop James. What Kiro did not realize was that Yula had slid right under him from behind, and James quickly realized this and jumped over the incoming Yula and over Bulbot, who was focused on Yula, James Slashed the armor's helmet twice while still in mid air and this damaged Kiro's suit to the point where it locks up, Yula took out a plasma rifle and shot Bulbot in the shoulder, destroying the right shoulder of Kiro's armor completely. Kiro was now vulnerable for his armor had been disabled and parts of him was showing, as if the ejection process in his suit was stunned as well.

Kiro moved his head up, sweating from the battle. He glanced at the police and the others and starts to laugh, saying they can't beat White Dragon. Yula walked up to Kiro and grabbed his face with one hand, she examined his face and noticed that he was infected by the virus, so his actions may not have been his own, ruling out that Kiro the convict was controlling the human White Dragon grunts.

SWAT and police rounded up the weary grunts of the gang, and managed to force Kiro out of his armor, confiscating it and placing Kiro under arrested, but he was taken by an EMT to be examined more.

Yula thanked James for his help, and she told him that she knew he was special, padding him on his shoulder saying that if it wasn't for him, they would probably retreat from Bulbot and his followers.

The Elf Boy

Kiro, who was slowly recovering from the viruses effects, was place in the Tokyo police department cell, a cell where he is kept there alone. Hima thanked James and everyone for their help in the process. Yula told Hima how did how know of the virus effecting humans and Hima told her that he managed to rescue a girl who was under White Dragon influence, and she had quickly recovered from the virus. Yula had in mind that only technology was effected, however, Hima told her that when he went to save the girl, the same time technology succumb to the virus, people started acting up too, assuming it is coming from the same source and it could be airborne. They tricked to question Kiro, however, he was laughing hysterically, as if he had lost his mind. His criminal record was pulled out stating he was a former military engineer who had a fetish for robots, that he was charged for battery, violence, theft and was also mentally sick.

James spoke to Hima and Yula, saying if they know about an American named Dark Skull, not trying to reveal Jordan's name by accident again. They did not know, but a voice was heard from a cell saying Dark Skull of South Dakota multiple times. James, and company moved towards the cell and saw the elish looking young man sitting in the corner, motionless, staring at the wall. Miranda asked them who is this young man, and Hima told them they found him days ago, the young man didn't want to talk and he was carrying weapons with him, a sword as well, but he easily surrendered to SWAT, in addition, SWAT did not trust him, for someone like this was capable of anything. James told them if he was capable of such, he would have broken out of his cell. James spoke to the young man, and he told James he is the same like him instantly. James told him what he met by that, and the young man continued to say that we are Red Dragnis, he struggled to move his hair off his face with his cuffed hands and showed James his red eyes. He introduced himself to be Kyuza Airelo. He told James they met before, but James would not remember. He continued to say that he met James about a year ago, when he was facing off against Lizardman, to which James tried to forget and forgive himself for what he did to him. Kyuza told James that it is okay, for he did not have full control of his power,naming the Dragni Rush ability itself, a last restore source of power of a full Dragni. Kyuza continued to tell James that Lizardman is alive and well, but it isn't too friendly.

Kyuza continued to speak again saying that he came to Old Japan when he was informed by Ivan about Jordan, that Ivan contacted him because he knew that Kyuza is friends with Jordan. He added that he came here and stopped a few Yakyuza members himself, even finding Jordan. He told James finally hours after finding Jordan, the two got separated during an ambush by White Dragon and soon he ended up being in a jail cell for being thinking he is a terrorist.

James told him if anyone else came with him, and Kyuza said to him yes, a boy named Jared, who is camping out in a tent not too far from here, awaiting his return.

At this, James told Yula and Hima to let him go, stating that Kyuza is one of them. They hesitated at first, but released Kyuza. Kyuza emerged from his cell slowly and looked around. He grabbed his sword and glanced at Hima and the rest of SWAT, saying you have been forgiven twice while nodding his head. Kyuza thanked James and Miranda then joins them to find Jared. James told Yula that they will be back in a few hours.

Enter Mr. St. Marc the 5th

Before they could leave the HQ, a man entered the room. This man was dressed in a dark gray suit, and wore a pink dress shirt. The man had long white-gray hair and light green eyes. As he walked in the room, everyone became silent as if they knew who he was, in truth they did know. The man’s name is Leon St. Marc the 5th. He even introduced himself to everyone, including James and company, even going as far has kissing the hand of Yula and Miranda who were next to him. Leon informed Hima and the rest of his force that rebels had broken into some of his vaults, stealing robots and other piece of technology and equipment. He even mentioned the confiscated armor Hiro (Bullbot) was using and he had gotten word of it in full use early that day. Hima told Leon that White Dragon probably stole the armor back for Hiro to use, in addition, he mentioned that Hiro is locked up, but is unable to answer question for certain reasons. Leon giggled at Hima and put his hand on his shoulder and told Hima what are these reasons he speak of. Hima replied to Leon saying that Hiro was known for his mental issues and it would be difficult for anyone on the force, even Yula to get some answers from him. Leon told Hima if he could do anything to stop White Dragon, or the rebels in support of them, but he was told to remain in New Kyushu City, one of the only safe zones in Japan at this point. Hima informed Leon that they are currently taking back Tokyo from White Dragon and The Yakuza, in addition, stated that the virus they discovered not only effects machines, but people as well. Leon found the talk about the virus interesting, saying that it may be the same virus he is thinking about at that moment, and started to glance at Yula. He added if they will offer him a bodyguard as well, with Yula replying to him as sir, saying that he has enough in the city itself. Leon the turned his attention to James and friends, he told them if these were children they rescued, as he focused on Miranda. Yula told Leon that these children are not from around here, and that they helped take down Hiro (Bullbot). Leon walked towards them, and looked towards James and spoke Japanese to him, he told James that what he did was a job well done, with James responding to him in Japanese, saying thank you. He then looked at Kyuza, who signaled that he did not want to talk, so Leon just patted him on the shoulder. When he got to Miranda, he focused a lot on her; he even said that he hasn't seen an American running around Japan in ages. To which Miranda started to blush and randomly said out loud she isn’t looking to date him, and Leon started to smile, and James was slightly provoked. Leon told Miranda he knows someone that is dying to meet her, even joking that he himself is sort of like a match maker. Before he could speak of this person, one of Leon’s guards called and told him that he has a meeting regarding stolen property from his vaults, and he told everyone he must go now. He waved at James and company, SWAT and police then took off. James told Miranda that he did not like Leon at all, only for Miranda to start joking with him. Kyuza cut them both off and told them that now is a good time to seek Jordan and other allies in Japan.

Kyuza ambushed, what happen to Jared

James spoke with Kyuza about his arrival to Old Japan, with Kyuza saying he had gotten separated from the group at some point. Kyuza told him that they were ambushed by Yakuza members, who thought of them as random Japanese villagers who were astray during the action, and after the fight, Jared was nowhere to be found, adding that White Dragon had probably taken him, seeing that a meta-human may be of use to them.

As for Jared himself, he was taken by White Dragon and was imprisoned by Zegma, who used Jared’s abilities to power up broken and nearly destroyed robots who were recovered for repairs. Jared was placed inside some metal container and was given small dosages of the virus, forcing him to use his electric powers in the process, which at times, take a toll on Jared, for his own powers causes him to pass out, for he isn’t use to his abilities yet.

The young man who is keeping Jared locked away is Zegma, an agent of White Dragon. Yoroshima’s men had discovered Jared and informed him about his abilities, to which Yoroshima took interest in; he put Zegma in charge of rebuilding the dead robots, using Jared’s abilities to speed up the process. Zegma often plays his guitar to ease Jared’s pain, and often threats him if he doesn't do what he says, he will turn him into a zombie. When Jared saw Zegma for the first time, he thought that he was serious, without hesitation, he was forced to use his abilities.

The Talk, confronting Rebels

Yula had been focusing on James since the fight against The Yakuza and Hiro (Bullbot) in parts of Tokyo. Now that Tokyo is safe and now has force-fields active. Yula confronted James and spoke with him. James questioned her if she knew what he was and Yula told James she probably does. She tells James that he is a Dragni, even though James knew this already, but she continued to throw basic information at James as if he did not know this already.

She also mentioned that Dragni’s are not invincible and they are capable of dying. James told her if this goes for all Dragnis, he added that his eyes are red, meaning that anything higher than that are more durable, tougher and tend to live longer than their lower Dragni counterparts. Yula told James that is true and continued to say that the Half-Dragnis are not capable such, considering James to be a Half-Dragni.

She added that her great-great grandmother’s friend shot and killed a Dragni hit man in the past, and warned James to be careful, for he isn’t a super-boy. James told Yula another question regarding her, he told her if she is a Dragni as well, to which she replied that she is not, nor does she feel as if she is one and she walked away.

The next day, Hima sent Yula and company to investigate San'ya (山谷 San'ya), Japan. He told her that the rebels Leon spoke of are moving in the area in large numbers, fighting off some of their own. Yula accepted this and went with James and members of SWAT.

During the right there, James kept asking Yula questions about herself, to which she kept trying to go around the question, eventually telling James that he is an interesting kid, and thought what it would be like if he never showed up to Old Japan.

Blue on Blue, attacking friendlies? (The rebels Are the good guys)

Yula, James and company made it to San'ya and confronted a few rebel members who were fighting using farmland tools and objects. They attacked Yula, however, Yula defended herself and pointed a plasma rifle at her attacker. The man said to her that they were supposed to protect them, why were they shooting at them. Yula became confused and told the man that they are here to calm the tension in San'ya, even mentioning that there wasn’t any word of SWAT activity until now. After hearing this, another man showed up and spoke with Yula. This man was the leader of the rebels and he goes by the name Kenji.

Kenji tells Yula that what they are doing is beyond a crime, with Yula arguing back saying why would SWAT attack those they are trying to protect. More SWAT members showed up and Kyuza and Miranda joined James and Yula. Kyuza spotted the augment between Kenji and Yula and stopped them. The angered Kenji spoke to Kyuza about the situation, and the two of them went to see what was up, while Yula and the others waited.

Yula received a call from Leon St. Marc 5th. He stated that his computers tells him that his devices were active and have been so for quite some time now, in addition, he asked her if her team was able to find them. Yula asked Leon what the devices were capable of, and judging by the news, Yula had briefed her team on what to do now, along with rebels, who listened to Yula’s briefing.

Kyuza and Kenji returned and discovered that drones are posing as SWAT members to try to trick them, even asking why the SWAT team, to which Yula told him that White Dragon likes to use illusions to trick people, even stating that the rebels were fighting an enemy who uses illusions for days now. SWAT allied themselves with the Japanese rebels and went after these drones. Yula mentioned for SWAT to have tranquilizers ready with heat signature goggles, for anyone in the area could be victim to the virus.

James took the imitative and went with Miranda to see if there was a White Dragon member of a higher rank running around, Kenji joined them, while Kyuza stayed to protect SWAT.

SWAT Guy using instincts, Enter Yoroshima

After searching, the group accompanied a SWAT member who was tracking a man named Yoroshima, and pin pointed his location. He mentioned he could give this information out to the others, for he was hit with emps, enough to show out all his devices. Eventually all of them found Yoroshima at his compound only to be ambushed by drones. James and company made it out; with Kenji assisting to bring Miranda back to the others, the SWAT member stayed with James until they confronted Yoroshima himself. Yoroshima was dusting off his all black suit when James and the SWAT member burst itno the room. Yoroshima told them that they are too late, for everyone thinks it is SWAT cuasing issues for the people of Japan; in addition, he stated that this test in San'ya (山谷 San'ya) was just the beginning. The SWAT member told him why and what the motives of White Dragon is, to which, Yoroshima turned around, with his gun in hand, saying that there is no reason, just old fashion revenege, she attempts to shoot James, however, The SWAT gun took the hit, falling down into the opening on the floor below. Yoroshima proceeded to flee, and James chased him. James manages to catch him and briefly fight him, only to nearly fall through the flooring of the building. Yoroshima joked, saying that San'ya slum buildings are like death traps, for you never know if were your standing is safe.

The end of Yoroshima

James was holding his own against Yoroshima. Yoroshima had James pinned by threatening to shoot out the flooring inside the building, he had a gun in one hand and a flash bag in the other. At the same time, Yoroshima shot the glass window and throw the flash bag at James, blinding him briefly. With James still trying to see, Yoroshima hopped out the broken window with his hover-board and started to escape above the old battered buildings in the slums. James recovered and gave chase, by running through the buildings and jumping out of a window, nearly tackling Yoroshima in the air, however, he landed on another building instead. James had to run through and hop from building to building in hopes of cutting Yoroshima off while avoiding fire-fights between White Dragon drones and SWAT, as he gave chase, a helicopter passed them both, calling out Yoroshima’s name, which revealed to James that this man was trying to escape from this area, which he could not let happen. James manages to knock Yoroshima off his hover broad and briefly fought him on the roof top of a weak building. Yoroshima took advantage of the building and sent James plummeting down below. Yula showed up later and tracked down James and joined him on the chase, they were also accompanied by a wounded SWAT member who was hiding out in the weak building, the same man who took a bullet for James, fall through the flooring, crawled out of harms way into an abandon building. The 3 of them managed to get to the next building over and went on to the 4 floor of that building, but this time, White Dragon drones were after them, so the weaken SWAT member told them to continue to the roof, while he tries to buy them some time.

James and Yula continued to the roof and spotted Yoroshima heading near the helicopter. James raced Yoroshima there and told Yoroshima to stop as he was a few feet away from the helicopter. The tired out Yoroshima turned to James and told him that it must take a lot to kill him, he pulled out his magnum gun and shot twice, the second shot hit James directly in the chest; the force from the gun was enough to push James back, knocking him into the ground. Yoroshima uttered the word shame, and rushed on the helicopter and yelled at the pilot to take off. The helicopter rose up and it was about to leave San'ya Slums. Yula rushed past James and had a special rifle ready and aimed at the pilot, she shot the pilot, killing him instantly, and this caused the helicopter to spin out of control, hitting the buildings in its way. Yoroshima attempted to jump out, but it was too late for the helicopter crashed and exploded before he could do that. Yula rushed to James and ripped the frontal part of his clothing, only to find out that the bullet didn’t not harm James, but dented on impact. James woke up and said that the gun shot only knocked him out briefly, and added that he was okay. The SWAT member who held off the droids survived and joined with James and Yula and he too was shocked that James survived that shot, claiming that James had a bullet proof vest under his skin.

Hours later, the crash site was investigated and it is confirmed that Yoroshima had truly perished in the crash for his charred up body was discovered within the wreckage. His death was quickly discovered by agents of White Dragon, forcing Danik to take over for Yoroshima, and his first action was to take a whole village hostage and wait for drones to show up and take the hostages away to be submerged into the White Dragon Virus project.

Eventually the group confronted Bianca Airesus, The Steel Maiden, and out of fear, thinking it was some high-tech White Dragon cyborg, Japanese police started to shoot at her. Even though she is literally immune to normal gunfire in her Exo-Battlesuit, she was able to beat down the police, leaving them with minor injuries, so literally she was just pushing them around in style, with her, there are 2 female figures in a Shinobi outfit, who watched The Steel Maiden from a distance. Thinking that Bianca was a threat, Yuna attempted to fight against Bianca, even holding her own, only for James to step in and the two actually fought, one of the Shinobi girls showed up and stopped the two of them. Bianca then stated what her purpose was in Old Japan, for she had received a distress signal and upon arrival she was ambushed herself. Yuna told her that the distress signal could be fake, or the source of it is still unknown, she added, if she is one of the good guys, why she attacked the police, Bianca looked at James and grinned to herself, that she wanted to see how tough Japan was, with James saying that her actions wasn’t necessary, the reason behind this was Bianca wanted to get a reaction out of James, for James do not know about her Steel Maiden persona. Hima told Bianca that he knows who she is, and could see why random fighting isn’t something new. He thanks her for what she had done in Hong Kong. Yuna asked what she had done, and Hima told her that this was the heroine who destroyed an underground gang and halted a majority of drug cartel trades in other Asian countries. Later that day, Bianca joined them on briefing and the 2 Shinobi that was with her, one of them revealing herself to be NeoxRose (Sakrua Katsumi). NeoxRose told the police about this signal being different, as when they arrived, they were ambushed by these robots when their jet went down, but their reason for being there is unknown. The group got bigger, and the effort reached out to Bianca and her allies, later that night, Darkskull himself ended up in Tokyo, but was injured badly.

DarkSkull

Darkskull had been recovered and was in bed rest for hours, during that time, SWAT and police reached out to other parts of Japan that is either not protected or have little protection and informed them to keep up what they are doing Darkskull eventually woke up and Miranda was next to him as she was putting bandages on his arm. Mirdana tells Darkskull what has happen to him. Darkkull told her that he was in Old Japan for a while and was fighting off Yakuza members in a different part of Japan, and eventually he ran into White Dragon. After sometime, he said that he managed to find out where they are keeping Jared, for he witnessed Yoroshima days ago capture Jared, who was alone and his helicopter flew somewhere in the direction going to the beach. Darkskull tried to stand up, but Mirdana told him he needs rest, and Darkskull joked telling her that he was a navy seal, so pain isn’t something he isn’t use to. Darkuskull got up and marched into a briefing, interrupting them. Yuna stood up and told Darkuskull he should be resting, however, Darkskull told her that he respects her and demands to know what else is going on, adding that the spikey hair kids with red eyes are with him. Yuna played smart and told him that those kids do not have an American accent like him so they could not be his. James stood up and said to Yuna Darkskull is a cool guy, and Yuna stared at Darkskull’s arm, for his suit was baring the navy seals symbol. She questioned him about his standing with the navy seals, and Darkskull told her that it is nothing of her concern and walked to where Kyuza, Mirdana and James were sitting. As he sat down, he started to talk about what had happened and all eyes were on him, as he spoke, Hima took the initiative and translated what Darkskull said in Japanese.

Flashback

Darkskull, also known as Jordan Wayne, told everyone what has happened to him:

He told them that he was with fellow heroes in the United States and after he took off to his home base, he witnessed an eerie computer signal. He managed to track it down, and saw that this signal was present for years now and just happen to hit his computer, causing it to glitch temporarily. Darkskull continued to say that a computer hacker (Ivan Illuton) aided him in tracking down the exact location of this signal, and the name that came up was Japan, in addition, he said since there’s 2 Japans, he knew exactly which one to go to. James turned to Darkskull and said that that was the reason he came to Old Japan, to look for him, but didn’t realize the stuff going on until he started to ask around. Kyuza also said that he should up with Jared to help Darkskull, but he had been ambushed and separated from Jared. Darkskull looked at Kyuza and told him he thinks he knows where Jared is and said that a man by the name Yoroshima kidnapped him and his helicopter went somewhere towards the Beach, somewhere near the broken shores. Yuna interrupted Darkskull and she put her hands on the table and said that Yoroshima is dead, adding that Jared is long gone. Darkskull told her if someone goes down, there is another guy waiting to pick up the sticks, informing her there could be someone else taking over for Yoroshima, even though he is dead. Darkskull tossed a cube on the table and a hologram showing Yoroshima popped up. He continues to say that he knows about this person and he was a former doctor turned engineer. He added when Yoroshima was a doctor, who spent ages dealing with patience in prisons that will never set foot outside of on until now, he uttered the name, Danikasharu Tomoshi. Darkskull proceed to tell Yuna and everyone else that Danikasharu Tomoshi, also known as Danik, was a criminal who was under the care of Yoroshima, and at some point when Yoroshima left his job, doctoring prisoners, Danik himself somehow escape, but Yoroshima was never address about the issue, leading one to think that Yoroshima, who cared for Danik in private, somehow got him out of life in prison.

Hima told Darkskull if there is a way to see where this Danik is, Yuna interrupted Hima and told Darkskull why he thinks a prisoner like Danik is capable of doing. Darkskull told her that he isn’t some ordinary bum, he said that once he got out, his records somehow vanished, so all the gruesome things Danik had done remained a mystery forever since his records were gone, he ended by saying he knew a good kid hacker that managed to pull up this information from old encrypted databases in Old Japan, the only copy of Danik’s records was on a dead, glitched-out computer. Bianca sat there with her arms crossed, saying that this Danik character must be slain, for there is enough trouble going on, Hima told everyone to calm down, telling James he has some crazy friends.

The Steel Maiden

Bianca Airesus, also known as the Steel Maiden had reasons of her own to be in Old Japan. Unknown to everyone else, she was doing some investigation work when Momoko informed her about The Yakuza, in addition, she also mentioned a Chinese familiar that happen to be in the zone, who was trying to get the attention of a Yakuza member. At the time, Bianca was visiting the hidden dojo of the Takeru family, the dojo of the Neox clan. After getting the message from Momoko, Bianca left with Sakrua, who wanted to see Old Japan for herself, when Jenji (NeoxNinja) had told her what it was like. Bianca had connected with Brian Whall, a European/American CIA rookie, friend and former guardian, to provide her with a jet to go there. She brought her Exo-Battle Armor, for she had not used it in a long time, since she was unable to use it in the United States, for it was literally a high grade military weapon.

Hours into the jet right to Old Japan, Tokyo, and Bianca’s jet was damaged by a forming force-field, causing the jet to crash, Bianca, was already geared up and awaken from her meditative state. Sakura grabbed the pilot and Bianca reached for them. Right before the crash, Bianca shot part of the jet to form an opening, grabbing Sakura and the pilot and glided them to safety.

They were stranded, however they were able to still contact Momoko, moments later, they were ambushed by robots, who happen to be searching the wreckage of the jet, stumbling upon Bianca and company resting by the trees nearby the beach area. Bianca and Sakrua easily defeated the robots and started to venture Old Japan.

They made it to San’Ya, during that time, James was already in pursuit of Yoroshima and Bianca was fighting off the rebels, believing them to be the enemy, and eventually going after SWAT members who were in her way. At this moment, Momoko was able to show up to help being, but she saw that Bianca was in one of those I want to fight anyone moods, and she tried to stop her. Bianca stopped for the time being, for her random acts of lashing out were caused by slight form of PTSD due to the eerie signal screwing her up mentally. Even though Bianca was immune to most attacks, this passive attack wasn’t any form of Necro-Bots, but it was strong enough to cause Bianca to act the way she did. In order to keep her cool, she acted and talked in a way, putting forth her bad girl attitude.

She eventually meets with James and in order to provoke him, she attempted to fight police who were shooting at her, thinking she was an enemy when she didn’t put her hands up. She eventually joined James temporarily, along with Sakrua and Momoko, and she remained at police HQ to do research on this virus that is spreading around Old Japan. This virus was capable of harming her and she is unsure if she is able to adapt to it, thinking it may kill her before she could adapt to it. However, she did remain behind to deal with random skirmish from enemies that lurked around Tokyo, eventually aiding in keeping Tokyo safe before moving on to help out in other areas, however, this initiative caused her to go M.I.A, along with Sakrua, however, she did tell Momoko to help out James as much as possible in her absence. When asked to how she knows James, Bianca told her she ran into him a number of times in America. Bianca shows up again to aid James in rescuing the hostages who were watched over Danik’s generals, threatening to kill them if anyone got close.

Group Briefing

The man who was seen as a leader among the rebels, Kenji, wanted to take the fight to Danik, now knowing that he is a agent of Yoroshima. But it wasn’t going to be easy, for Danik had a whole entire village on lockdown and a number of hostages in his wake. Kenji did not want to take the risk and jeopardies the lives of people in the area, however, Darkskull informed him that he will make a plan to help them out. Hima gathered everyone for a quick briefing, informing them about Danik, adding on by saying that Danik has 4 followers, information on USBs recovered from the corpse of Yoroshima. He told everyone the plan was to use the villagers as subjects to the new effective virus; previously, the effects were temporary. Leon St. Marc 5th entered the briefing via hologram. Hima continued to say that whoever is behind the White Dragon is someone who knows what he is doing, Yuna interrupted and said what they will do with The Yakuza trying to cover ground for power, Hima told her that the Yakuza will be dealt with during their mission to stop White Dragon, adding that Tokyo is practically safe now and a few areas outside of Tokyo. Leon St. Marc 5th joked about New Kyushu City, telling everyone if they want to go clubbing it will be on him after this victory. Kenji told St. Marc that now isn’t the time to joke around because there are a lot of serious things going on. Within seconds, a hologram message from Danik himself popped up, it was a broadcast.

You have 24 hours

Via hologram message, Danik threatened the people who were viewing the broadcast and told them that Old Japan has a better future ahead, and soon the world will see that the people of Japan had finally changed, adding that their Asian country had been will never been shunned again. Danik’s 4 generals walked up beside him. He continued to say he had learned of Yoroshima’s death and he blames the death of this White Dragon member on the rebels, adding kenji’s name to the list. He threatens Kenji to turn himself in to the White Dragon to make an example for what he had done. He then pulled a young girl by his side. The girl tried to fight and struggle away from him, however, Danik kept her close, by putting one of his hands on her neck as if he was choking her. Danik spoke again, saying that the villagers who joined White Dragon willingly have already succumb to the virus, and it is in full effect, in addition, he said that those who submit to White Dragon, revealed to him of Kenji’s existence. Kenji stood up in anger, clenching his jaw and his fists whispering the girl’s name, with a frustrated look, he continued to watch Danik’s hologram message. Danik ended the hologram by saying that Kenji must turn himself in to his generals within 24 hours. Danik began choking the girl again, adding that if he wants this girl (Rei Yokida) to live, Kenji would turn himself in. He also ended by saying if he doesn’t turn himself in, he will start killing people, even joking that he will shred the girl into pieces and feeding her to sea creatures, adding he wanted to see Frilled Sharks, for he hasn’t seen one in ages, the hologram transmission disconnected.

Go in like a Navy Seal (Stealthy Plan)

Kenji was in distraught. He didn’t know what to do with himself. He looked at everyone and told them that he is willing to turn himself in. Darkskull looked at him, saying what he is about to do is suicide, even if he goes; the girl may still die, along with a number of villagers. Kenji said to him and the rest of the people there that he is willing to die. Yuna told him that Danik is playing him, that he is using the girl to get to him. During the talk, Miranda poked Darkskull and told him if any stealth tactics would help. Darkskull told her that he has a plan. At hearing this Miranda yelled, having everyone focus on her, she said that they can safe everyone if they could rescue them without being seen. Darkskull looked at Miranda, and then at the others, he said that groups can be made to rescue the hostages and SWAT can go in and capture Danik and his followers. Some people agreed and Yuna said if they were to be compromised, it could mess up everything, Kenji, still angered, said that the girl means everything to him, if Danik kills her, he dies too, and he then said it again in Japanese. Darkskull then continue what he said earlier about his plan. The plan was to rescue the hostages from the village, while he was talking; Kenji showed him a map of where the village is. Using this map, Darkskull told everyone that this hillside village can be hit from all angles, and most likely Danik has those areas covered. He told them that each group will hit a different area, taking down any followers or Generals if they see them. The groups were formed, 4 groups:

• Darkskull, James, Kyuza
• Bianca, Sakura, Miranda, Momoko
• Yuna, and 2 SWAT members on standby
• Kenji, Hima, SWAT medic

The rest of SWAT and the Japanese police force will wait on standby for Yuna’s signal to attack. Bianca said if there will be any killing during the midnight stealth mission and smiled with her arms crossed, Yuna was about to say something, but James told Bianca that they do not know if the followers of White Dragon are under the effects of the virus, saying killing is unnecessary. Bianca padded James on his head and told him that’s cute, and walked away, and Sakrua, who was hiding her identity from James shrugged and walked away.

Gee, What are they up to?

The White Dragon themselves are a bit busy and a man by the name of Boshiku is calling the shots. Boshiku is an android made by the late Leona St. Marc 3rd, and he was tossed into the forgotten sea lab as if he was a piece of junk, however, in reality, Leona was aware of her family’s creation and got rid of Boshiku in hopes of him getting stronger. Boshiku was a weak, mangled android that was somehow reconstructed and improved while being at the sea lab for so long. He often talks to his followers about Leon St. Marc 2nd’s had renewed him and he chose to follow his purpose. He tells this story time and time again to mainly his younger followers, for he knew the only way to recruit more people is through using the youth to do it for him. He has a group, who were watched over by the late Yoroshima and this group was more attune to influence the younger crowd in some way or form.

He tasked Zegma, the zombie-looking Mexican guitarist (made fun of for being a zombie cosplayer by Beast-Li), to experiment the virus, for Zegma didn’t mind doing such a task, for he was in charge of scavenging robotic parts so that Hiro (Bullbot) could rebuild them. Since they were running low on robots, the virus had been improved, thanks to Boshiku and Zegma, who ran the tests for Boshiku; they wanted to use the improved virus to bluster their followers to be more on White Dragon’s side. Beast-Li did his own thing trying to get followers by luring them into a trap and DJ Nadi had her own interesting way of releasing the virus soon.

Zegma was stationed close to where Danik is, for Danik awaited him to do final bits of testing before injecting the virus to the hostages under Danik. Zegma, was also a lazy guy, for he spends more time playing a guitar, then doing actually work. He also likes playing his guitar to his mind slaves who are injected with the older virus of the virus. The zombifed fiend also has Jared captured and uses him to revive rebuilt robots, leftovers or ones that were scrapped.

Zegma was isolated in a cave so he isn’t aware of what is going on outside, for he himself was a bit careless and more focused on his own actions then others. A stealthy raid is about to take place and he is unaware of it and wasn’t even aware of it happening, even after Danik’s defeat. Beast-Li was more focused on monitoring the actions of police and SWAT, and literally took note on the events in Tokyo more thoroughly after Danik was defeated and when The Yakuza had been defeated again.

Nadila Domashevich (DJ Nadi) , the former punk band drummer with mental issues, who is aroused easily by her music, turned evil DJ, had her sights set on her place of business in New Kyushu City, for she was tasked to not only influence people there, but to kidnap Leon St. Marc 5th. She had everything planned out, to have him come into the club and to be extremely relaxed, she planned to subdue him and then kidnap him. Boshiku could have done this himself; however, he had to prepare something special for Leon St. Marc 2nd, which was a secret to everyone. As for Boshiku, he is awaiting for everything to go as plan, but he needed Hiro (Bullbot) to complete this plan. Unknown to everyone else, Boshiku had them under the effects of his virus, so even though these members worked for White Dragon, a special virus was placed upon them unknowingly to keep them in check, for example, when Beast-Li was acting up moments after fighting James, the virus kicked in to keep him in check. As for The leader of The Yukuza, this former J-pop star is extremely pissed off and planned to seize Danik's hillside hideout for herself because she feels as though she is losing ground from police and SWAT and now the White Dragon.

Downing the Generals, saving the hostages

Darkskull himself knows that it isn’t going to be easy, that they had to be fast and the time to strike is at night. The hillside village itself had hostages huddled up in small straw huts, the generals remained inside their tent and awaited orders and there are White Dragon members both human and robot guarding the premises. Yuna had her men ready sniper rifles that had tranquiller bullets, and secondary rounds to disable the robot guards, not wanting to risk casualties because some people are under the effects of this virus. Yuna covered the other 3 groups as they headed in to save the hostages, and Darkskull was able to down one of the generals with ease, for these generals were weak grunts of Danik who wore suits resembling samurai.

The groups, including Yuna and her group, had to go back and forth into the hillside village to rescue the hostages. Kyuza spoke up and told James that something wasn’t right, saving the hostages is way too easy and it wasn’t burdensome at all. After the last bit of hostages were saved, Kenji himself made his way to the isolated hut far from the huts once holding hostages. The sun was rising, as Danik came out of his hut with the girl.

It’s a Trap

Danik confronted Kenji applauding him for saving the hostages, and from behind Danik, the real generals emerged and stood there. Kenji threated Danik and told him that he isn’t going back to prison this time, and in Japanese he told Danik that he will die here and now. Danik laughed and taunted Kenji, and told him that he will make sure Kenji will suffer a horrific death; he then opens the door more to show Kenji the tied up Rei. She was tied up in a way with swords nearly coming close to her neck, she screamed Kenji’s name, telling him that Danik is going to kill them both. Danik told Kenji to come with him, but Kenji refused, knowing that he wasn’t going to make it out alive. Yuna and the others, who were trying to calm down the hostages, noticed that Kenji was missing, at this James took the initiative to go and find Kenji, along with Kyuza, who followed him, Darkskull and Hima joined as well with a few SWAT members.

To their surprise, they spotted Kenji and Danik. Danik spotted them as well and told his generals to attack them, leaving Danik and Kenji, who started to fight each other. James and company were left to fight with these 4 generals at once, and as they were fighting, they could hear the grunting of Kenji and Danik fighting, and the screams of Rei in the background. The fight took some time and James and company were able to defeat the 4 generals of Danik, as they were trying to catch their breath, James rushed to where Kenji was, with Kyuza right behind him.

Brothers by bloodline

Kenji was defeated by Danik, and Danik walked over Kenji and placed his foot on his head, and he taunted him once again. Kenji and Rei stare at each other and Kenji closed his eyes, before Danik could execute Kenji, Danik was hit with a staff that Kyuza was wielding. Danik recovered and look at the two, and Kenji rolled out of the way. Danik laughed and said that Japanese’ finest sent children to fight him. He pulled out his Zanbanto swords and licked them. Kyuza told Kenji it is best for him to go save the hostages, that they will defeat Danik and save the girl. James himself yelled at Danik saying that he doesn’t know who he is dealing with, and the 3 of them engaged into combat, with James and Kyuza attempting to defeat the brutal convict, Danik.

To James’ and Kyuza’s, Danik was underestimated. Kyuza began to tell James that Danik could be what he one of them. He stared into Danik’s eyes while he evaded the incoming attacks from Danik. James informed Kyuza if people like them are able to withstand sword strikes like they are able to withstand gunfire. Kyuza told James that only if a Dragni is developed, they could take hits from the strongest blade, however, they themselves are not that strong yet. As the fight continues, Kyuza told James that they are just the underdogs, The Red Dragni, and Danik is above them. James was confused, for he thought that all Dragnis were the same despite the eye color. Kyuza, nearly being hit by Danik told James that the eye color means a lot; it could mean life or death, who is strong and who is weak. James, countering Danik’s strikes said what did he met by that. Danik grabbed Kyuza and throw him at James, and Kyuza yelled as he was hurled, that Danik is a half White Dragni. The fight was one-sided for Danik was tossing James and Kyuza around while taunting them. James, who is a bit injured from the fight explain to Kyuza and joked that this is the first time in a while that he had felt pain like this, with Kyuza uttering if it is fire against fire, they are bounded to feel the heat, he continued to say that they won’t be able to defeat Danik because they are inexperienced Dragnis, the cubs of the pack. Kyuza was then cut off by Danik who grabbed him. James tried to free Kyuza, but he was pushed away. Angered by this, James picked up one of Danik’s swords off the ground and charged at him, stabbing him in the leg, freeing Kyuza in the process, however, Danik had slightly broken Kyuza’s arm. James told Kyuza if he was alright, and Kyuza said it is a scar and nothing more, it will heal.

The young red Dragni fought Danik and tried to immobilize him the best way they can by impaling him with his own weapons. Danik collapse from the fight and the fight was quite over. James went to Kyuza and tried to help him stand up, and how of nowhere, James was hit in the face by Danik, and Kyuza was kicked back on the ground. The boys tried to counter Danik’s attacks, but he was in a Dragni type state of mind mopped the floor with James and Kyuza. Kyuza collapses from the fight, and then Danik took one of his own swords out of his body and tried to cut Kyuza in too. He swung his sword with so much force, however, James rushed in and stopped Kyuza from being killed. James held Danik’s sword with his hands, as the blade was cutting his dense skin. Danik continued to force the sword down, telling James that his friend is already dead, however, James eyed down Danik in anger, and Danik continued to push the sword into James’ hands. Eventually James got down on his needs, still blocking the blow, and then he broken Danik’s sword. Danik enraged jabbed James twice and picked up Kyuza and throw him at James, however, James caught him. Danik charged at the two like a raging bull, and was stopped by a trip wire that got caught on his neck, slowing him down.

Danik stopped and looked around, only to be kicked in the face, he looked down and a girl in black was beneath him, she kicked him in the groan, and Danik went down on one knee. He yelled and said if now they are sending worthless women to fight him, he added he wants a real fight. The 2 figures happen to be Bianca (TSM) and NeoxRose. TSM used an auto injector on Kyuza, to speed up his recovery. She told James that she knew he’d need help. Kyuza, was okay, but his arm was still broken and he told TSM that Danik is also a Dragni, a powerful one. Kyuza then added that the Dragni rage that he used up probably depleted so they may have a chance. James healed up as well and told Kyuza that if it is the same rage that he had suffered a while back, to which Kyuza told James yes, that it is something that most Dragni cannot control once it is trigger, however, it leaves them vulnerable for a period of time. Rose told James that he needs to stand up and fight Danik, and seconds later Danik started to charge at all of them calling them bowling pins. As he charged at them, everyone evaded his attack, and James and Kyzua took another shot at fighting Danik, along with TSM and Rose.

The fight was still tough, for TSM armor had been damaged slightly, stating her armor isn’t Dragni proof yet, and Rose was becoming exhausted. Eventually the 4 of them managed to defeat Danik, and he started to be under so much pain from his wounds and bruises. He even stated that he knows what he is, and this should not be happening. TSM took it to another level, even though Danik was defeated; she jumped not the air and dove right into Danik’s neck, breaking it. Danik stumbled around and tried to grab one of them but everyone was far from his reach, his vision got blurring and he collapse, nearly falling off from the platform he was fighting on.

James was shocked that TSM killed a Dragni right in front of him. Kyuza said that Danik has passed and the village is safe, however, James was annoyed by Danik’s death. He complained to TSM and stated his honor code. TSM didn’t care and put her finger on James’ chest, pushing him a way saying that if his kind goes rogue, she will be the one to end them, even James himself. James then told TSM that she didn’t have to kill him, to which she said back to him that if Danik were to live, he’d break out and do it again, probably worse. She then pointed at James, mocking him about the United Kingdom man who is now a Lizard. To which James told her how did she know, and TSM replied that she knows people from the CIA herself. James told her that it wasn’t his fault, he couldn’t see anything and was fighting robots in the warehouse Kaddak was in, and not knowing there was a person there, eh continued to say that he lives with that guilt now, and doesn’t let it bother him because things like this happens. Since James know a bit of TSM he said that she was responsible for killing bystanders herself, this information pissed her off and she told James that the next time they meet, she will not be friendly towards him, at this moment the ptsd kicked in and she was holding it in, for another eerie signal from Japan had hit her.

TSM took her leave, and Rose told James that she is just not feeling well today. James told her why is she here. Rose had to make up a lie, which was sort of true, saying that NeoxNinja’s father’s dojo. James then asked her about Sakrua, to which, Rose, who was Sakrua, told James that she is doing well. TSM called Rose and the two of them left the scene. James and Kyuza went to rescue Rei and as soon as they left the hut with her, they noticed Danik’s body was missing, assuming that his corpse had slid off the ledge for it he collapses next to the edge, nearly falling down.

Rei thanked James and Kyuza, and she pulled down Kyuza’s scarf and kissed him on the cheek. Kyuza, with a neutral facial expression said thank you, and James himself started gigging at kyuza’s reaction.

Danik is defeated, taking back the Village

Danik’s body was nowhere to be found and people began to wonder if Danik was alive and had fled the scene, as for his generals, they were all arrested. Kenji thanked James and Kyuza and he was reunited with Rei. He told them that Rei is like a daughter to her and he would suffer if anything were to happen to her. The villagers were able to take back the village and remove the huts that Danik had forced them to build, bringing the land back to how it was before, a wonderful garden.

Darkskull told them the fight isn’t over yet, that there is an activity mile away from hillside village that is now a campsite for SWAT and police.

Wait, we’re dealing with the living dead all of a sudden?

Darkskull told them that Danik was getting his men from somewhere, and that there is footstep trails leading to the place that is called the Broken Beach. A random SWAT member stated that he was scouting the area before, and spotted a guy with a red hood, accompanied by a person, he went into detail, that this person’s skin looked decomposed, that the person had white hair, the SWAT member started to shake, and continued to say in fear, that the person had black lifeless eyes and looked dead, adding that this undead figure had a guitar strapped to his back. Hima made an odd look on his face and put his gun down and crossed his arms, he said if they are dealing with undead now, adding that robots was hard enough to bring down on some occasions, now the living dead. The SWAT member stated that everyone wore white hoods expect one, and they moved about in such a way as if they were shambling. Darkskull told them that he will go and investigate the matter, as he was saying that, James said he would accompany him.

The Broken Beaches

James and Jordan went together to the broken beaches that are located far from San’Ya Japan in the West. Jordan told James that this was an opportunity to work on his stealth due to him being a swordsman. James asks Jordan what it was like when he was a navy seal, to which Jordan tells him that he was crazy for him, adding that his final mission resulted in the loss of his friend, who risk his life to save everyone on a fallen carrier. The two of them slowly made their way to the beach land, where they heard a guitar playing from a distance. They peeked through the bushes to witness the event and they spotted a ghoulish looking figure playing a guitar, while sitting on a standing chair. In front of him were figures hooded in white all moving their heads left to right in unison. The guitarist told them that their leader, Yoroshima, had perished, but his work is not in vain. He stood up and told the hooded figures that he will continue his work, putting a peace sign in the air with his hands. He then walked away and the hooded figures slowly moved in behind him, leaving behind 3 figures with hoods watching the area.

Yuna contacted Jordan, asking him about the status so far on the mission, he told her that he got it covered; however, she told Jordan she can send in men to help him, however, Jordan refused, stating that Jared is his responsibility, and he doesn’t want to risk anything because of the nature of this villain.

Angry Yakuza pop-star's return

Back at HQ, Yuna and the others were contacted by St. Marc 5th. He told everyone that he will invite them briefly to follow up on the situation at hand because of the efforts of the people in Tokyo, his vaults containing various technologies haven’t been raided; the stealing had stopped.

A Disguise,Thank you Japan

As for Jordan and James, they were able to take out the 3 hooded figures, then take their robes to use as a disguise. They entered the cave where the other hooded figures were and pretended to be among them. Inside, they had to find a way to gain access into a sealed room by getting a key card to grant them access. They were able to retrieve one after downing an armed hooded figure that had one in possession. With the key card, they were able to access a room where they saw Jared, who was chained up in a metal cage. The chains around his hands literally sucks up any of Jared’s abilities when he tries to use them, however, inside the ghoulish figure was nowhere to be found.
