Cybernetic Threat

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.
