Birth

James’ father had fallen in love with a woman, who was a Dragni and was also part of the Shadowstep Leader’s family. The woman bore 3 children, the second born, being a twin to the first (Jason), had something very special about him; James’ father named him James, knowing that the boy will be bold and courageous, and probably be the one to defeat the now corrupt Shadowstep Clan, at the time, the couple were in Kibou Japan visiting family. Soon, Jason, James and finally Joshua lived with their mother in secret on the unknown island, however, very soon, James’ father had him and his brother’s sent away to their uncle, who lived in New Japan, a way of preventing Shadowstep from taking the children in which the 3 would become dangerous weapons if they were of Dragni bloodline. New Life James and his brothers were under the care of Joseph’s brother, Akihiro Nagano Konta, a master swordsman who is quite familiar with Martial Arts and the way of the Samurai. This prompted the first 2 boys, Jason and James, to automatically be accepted into Nagano’s Academy, in which he trains his students in combat. Among the students was a young girl named Jackie Konta, who is introduced as their cousin in Kibou. The 3 trained together for hours; eventually James surpasses the two of them, giving Akihiro the impression that James is probably one of the few who may be capable of protecting New Japan from constant threats from the outside. Jason leaving the land of New Japan As James progressed, and Joshua had already begun to walk, Jason began to envy his younger twin brother, mocking him of being the only one of the 3 born on the land and how their father liked him more. However, James is someone that is caring towards everyone and tried to reason with his brother, trying to make him feel better. This made Jason even madder, despite the affords of his younger brother trying to forgive him, regardless of not doing anything to him. The Academy had a tournament coming up soon and the brothers were told to joined when Jackie told them about it. And so they did. James and Jason proved themselves to everyone, even Akihiro, however the final match was between the brothers, despite the emotion that the two shared on the ring, James defeated his brother, as Jason lies on the floor and stares angrily at James, James tells Jason to he is begging for forgiveness. Jason got up and pushed James and told him that he will get stronger and make a fool out of James, and James’ surprise, Jason’s eyes began to glow red, and out of nowhere he succumb to a large amount of pain and fled from the ring, never to be seen again. The next day, Jackie informed James about his brother Jason who left the island, hoping to better himself, this sadden James a lot that day, soon it began to rain outside, a storm had brewed.

Meeting the poor girl

James went out into the fields of Kibou with a bag of fruit and bread, knowing his hungry, but doesn’t make an effort to eat. He worried about his brother, and he worried even more about why his pupils changed to that of a monster. As he walked back to the Academy, James spotted a girl with black hair shivering in the rain; the two looked at each other as if they had known each other well. James was very shy and told the girl her name, where she responded why someone like me would want to care about a homeless girl like her. But James, not knowing what to say, offered her his food and told her to take it as a give of love from him. He was persistence and she eventually took the food and ate. James sat by her and began to talk to her under small hut in the rain. The girl introduced herself as Sakura Katsumi, and that she was born here, in addition, she speaks of her parents, who themselves were poor because her father’s business had been destroyed months ago by “bad men”. Hearing this, James told the girl to take him to her house, however, the girl responded that he cannot go to her home, because he is not her other half, but James insisted to go anyway, joking to her that he is her other half. James carried Sakura to her home, eventually meeting with her parents. James invited the Katsumi family to come with him to The Academy, where he offered even his room for them to stay, and so they did, however, James’ uncle provided a room for the Katsumi family. James and Sakura Even at a young age, James took high interest in Sakura, and she did the same for James. She eventually became an apprentice to James and the two trained with each other every day, Jackie was happy for James and when the 3 got together, Jackie heard Sakura’s story and said to her, that her father knows of these men, to the New Japanese people, they are called The Outsiders, she added that her father is part of The Yakuza and they know a lot of things about The Outsiders.

Confronting The Yakuza of New Japan

James spoke to Akhiro about what he knows of the Yakuzya, and to this, he had no choice but to introduce James to them because James’ father had foreshadowed this in his letters. Eventually James had met them, however, they did not tell him anything about The Outsiders and if he is to see them, he is to run. James still baffled didn’t sleep that night; he was kept up by his younger brother who wanted to play Sudoku with him. Attack in Miho, New Japan During this time, The Katsumi family revived their business and as a celebration, they invited the whole Academy to go to Miho, New Japan for the festival. James sported his green Japanese garb and upon getting dressed, there was a knock on his door. He opened his door and there was Sakura, dressed in a beautiful blossom grab, stunning James where he stood. She told James that he had a gift for him, where James predicted and said if it is a kiss, both laughing, Sakura hugged James and gave him a mysterious package from his uncle so that she gave to him. She left, however James did not open it as the postage says not to open until he is to meet with his uncle. During the festival, James spent most of his time in the background, holding his package in hand. Hours into the event, a group dressed in black interrupted the festival and targeted one man there. James got a closer look at the situation and the men began beating the unknown man to the ground and told him there is no escape, you will always pay us back, and this time, with your life. One of the hooded men pulled out a sword and attempted to decapitate the unknown man, this caused the crowed to shattered, pushing one another out of the way in hopes of escaping. The Hooded man was stopped by James’ uncle, Akhiro, which prompted the 14 men to fight him. James watched his uncle fight as Jackie told James to run, adding he can handle it. But as soon as the hoods came off, these men were not human, the 14 men, as described by James, were men of metal, no flesh or blood on them. Fearing that this, creatures would kill his uncle, who is being dominated by them, James jumps in to try and say his uncle, pushing him out of the way. The 14 men focused their eyes on James, joking that he is just a boy. James fought 2 of the 14 metal men, in which he now calls, metal heads, in battle. The fight caused one of the metal heads to throw a small object, which caused fire to the nearby huts used in the festival. Knowing he is defend less, James opens up the package, revealing 2 Katanas inside, and he used them to fight the metal heads there.

The first of his abilities awaken

During the fight, which Jackie, Akhiro, Sakura watched James, James was beaten up anf finally, one of the metal heads grabbed James by his hair and lifted him up. One of them yelled and said, let this be an example of those that don’t pay back, the unknown man insisted for them to kill him instead, however, they kicked him away. The metal head impaled James in the stomach with its blade and dropped him, apparently killing James. As everyone who remained and watched in fear, cried for the death of James. As the 14 of them marched away, a voice told them to “stick around, the festival isn’t over”. They turned back and threated to kill the one who said that, but no one responded, and soon, the boy who was supposed to be dead had awaken, rising up slowly and his eyes began to glow scarlet red. The wound in his stomach closed up, but still he was covered in his own blood. The metal heads scanned James to see if it wasn’t some trick, as for everyone else, they were in awe at the scene. James was ready to destroy them, however, he is shocked himself that he had escaped death, and his vision was a bit reddish, then he began to recall Jason and his eyes. James felt stronger and wielded the Katanas, which he gripped for the first time and marched towards the metal heads. More effects added to James, whereas his skin had hardened and his grip was tight, his skin tone had darkened. The metal heads didn’t wait around and attacked James. One by one they dropped, unable to defeat the boy, in turn James destroyed the metal heads, swiftly, as a warrior would to fight those who threaten his people. At their defeat, one of the metal head’s head recorded James walking towards him, before it could say anything; James executed the robot, destroying it. After this, everyone looked at James and cheered, however still feared him after what just happened. James looked around and dropped his swords; he looked at his own blood, mixed with black oil on his hands, and passed out.

Scared of hurting people, wanting to leave

When James pasted out, he was in a coma-like state for 8 days straight. During this time, Akhiro decided to have James moved from New Japan, now knowing that the unknown may be coming after him. Jackie tells her further, how he knows this. He responded saying he knows out The Outsiders operate, and the technologies they use, which is alien to them, he adds, the world has changed, however they chose to remain in the past, furthering his point that the metal heads, there is more of them, even advanced.

Akhiro knew that this will be the last time Metal heads will confront certain people in New Japan after James’ actions, but in order to keep James safe, he had contacted his niece in New York via letter about what is to come in the after the next year. Soon James woke up, asking his uncle of what power he now has, Akhiro told James, that he is a Dragni. Now revealing herself, Jackie confronted James saying she is one to, had removed her bandages from her eyes, revealing she had glowing green eyes. James utter that if he and Jackie are monsters, in response, Akhiro informed James that he is not, just born with a special trait within his DNA, even mentioning his mother was one too. Akhiro told James of his plan, in hopes of keeping him safe.

He told James he has a cousin in America, he and he will escort him to her. James told everyone he knew that he was leaving, adding that he is going to be a hero elsewhere. He confronted Sakura and kissed her goodbye and soon he left, taking a boat with Garret to Old Japan. Garret talked to James and mentions a lot about James’ uncle. On the boat, he mostly talked about food to James, mainly Italian foods, in which James has no, idea of what that is, however fascinated by it.
