PROLOGUE (Author's POV)

After taking care of their stuff, Joseph's mother, Maddie, Josh, Joseph and Blake booked their flight to Tokyo, Japan. As they waited for their plane to take off, Joseph got a note from one of the staff on the plane, but Joseph would read it later, so he put it in his pocket. Joseph's family was rich, and by rich, I mean ABOUT A GAJILLION DOLLARS RICH. But enough about their money. The plane took off after all the passengers that booked their flights to Tokyo, Japan got on the plane. Joseph and Blake both brought out their PlayStation Vitas and started playing together. Josh thought to himself, It's been a long time, old friend. We're coming to visit you. After flying for 18-20 hours, the plane landed in the Tokyo National Airport.

After they got their bags and pets and everything, they found a house in the outskirts of Tokyo with a perfect view of a lake and lots of blossoms blooming everywhere. To say the least, it was the perfect to Maddie and Josh, but awesome for Joseph and Blake. After they've set their stuff in their rooms, Josh said, "Hey, we should go visit an old friend of mine. He lives here 7 houses down to the left." Joseph looked up from his PS Vita and paused the game, put it down, and asked, "Old friend? Who is he?" Josh said, "You'll see when we get there." Joseph nodded. They got out of the house and started to walk down to the house, but little did Joseph know, Josh's friend's house is also a Japanese dojo (guess who that's for). After walking for several minutes, they arrived with an old man with a Japanese name printed on his Japanese karate outfit outside the door. "Ah, Josh! I see that you brought your family with you this time!" said the old man. "Yeah, decided we wanted to move here, because my two sons here, Joseph and Blake, would like to learn Japanese culture.," Josh said, smiling. "That would be a good reason to be coming here. Now come in," the old man said and let them in.

Inside were a lot of students practicing their grappling, sparring, pressure point combat, knives, etc. Some of the students stopped and saw Josh with surprise in their eyes. Two of them seemed really excited to see him. In fact, they came over to him and wanted to talk to him. "Well, hello there, Joniku. Juniko. How have you two been doing?" Josh asked them, proudly. "Oh, it's been good, Mr. Thompson! I'm glad you'd actually come here!" Juniko Saratoshi, the white-haired 15 year old girl, said with excitement. "That's good! Hey, I want you two to meet my wife and two sons," Josh said and Joseph and Blake stepped in front of him. "This blue haired one is my great son, Joseph Thompson. And the one next to him is his loyal brother, Blake," Josh said in words that got the Saratoshi Twins excited. After a while of talking with the old man, then they went to a school (which is really an academy) that Joseph and Blake enrolled into.

The first teacher that they saw was a Biology teacher named Deruko Nakamura or Mr. Nakamura for short. "Well, hello, you two," Deruko said and shook their hands. "I am Mr. Nakamura and I will be your biology teacher." "Well, hello there. I'm Joseph and this is my brother, Blake," Joseph said. "Well! You're the famous ones in America that your father told me about," Deruko said with confirmation in his voice. "Yes, very famous. Well, hope these two will see you in school, Mr. Nakamura," Josh said. Deruko nodded and waved at them goodbye with a smile on his face when they went to see their other teachers. Deruko thought to himself, Perfect. Josh has come back after all. When the moment comes, I'll put that prick in his place. He chuckled to himself. Joseph and Blake introduced themselves to a great deal of teachers that they will have on their schedule. They left the school to get something to eat, which was a ramen shop. They ordered their ramen and waited for several minutes. Joseph thought to himself, Wait. My dad knows the old man, the two kids and my Biology teacher? Hmm… What is my dad hiding? What secret does he hold? While he was thinking, the ramen came and they ate politely. They then went shopping for new clothes and Maddie picked a very nice outfit for Joseph and Blake to wear with an imprint of a picture of an arrowhead that looked very cool. She showed Josh, who nodded and she went over to Joseph and Blake and said, "You two should try these on!" Joseph took a look at the black and green outfit and decided to try it on. Blake took the black and red outfit and tried it on. When they both came out of the dressing room, Maddie gushed and said, "You two look handsome and awesome in those outfits!" "I gotta agree with you, Mom. These outfits fits us perfectly like a glove," Blake agreed. Joseph just nodded and smiled. They paid for their outfits, which costed 5500 yen. They walked back home after looking around the city of Tokyo for a while.

But as soon as they came home, someone was waiting for them. In fact, this certain "someone" was a man standing outside with a Blood Tiger logo on the uniform. Josh knew something was wrong, and told Joseph, Blake and Maddie to stay behind him while he talked to the man. The man walked off after talking with Josh and he went inside, along with Joseph, his sibling and his mother. Well, that was weird, thought Joseph. That logo… Where have I seen it before? They watched TV for a while, before they went to bed, except for Josh. Josh went outside and he put on his ninja outfit. He went straight for the old man's house. The old man was on the roof of his house and Josh joined him there. "Josh, something's wrong. The Blood Tiger clan is planning to attack Tokyo at any minute," he said. "I know, Borisu. One of his henchman was at our house, yesterday, as soon as we got there after having Joseph and Blake check out Tokyo," Josh said. "Hmm… But why would they be at your house?" Borisu asked. "Well, I don't know yet, but if they came after my family, I'd make sure I would show them no mercy," Josh said while gritting his teeth in anger. Borisu nodded and jumped off the roof. Josh joined him and they started running toward Tokyo. And this is when EVERYTHING CHANGED…

CHAPTER 1 - Joseph's New Life As A Warrior Part 1 (Still Author's POV)

THE NEXT MORNING….

Joseph woke up first, yawning and started to do his exercise regime every morning. He ate breakfast, drank coffee with an appropriate amount of sugar and cream, and got out his new backpack, put on his Arrowhead pendant and started to run out the door when his dad came in, pretending to be tired and walked over and made coffee. Joseph was confused as to why his dad was out. Dad was out all night… But where could he have gone to? He asked himself. Josh yawned and drank his coffee. "Dad?" Joseph asked. "Yes, Joseph?" Josh replied. "Where the hell were you all night? Are you hiding something?" Joseph asked him with a serious look on his face. "We'll talk about it in private when you get home from school tomorrow," Josh replied once again. Joseph thought about it for a moment before putting his stuff in his backpack, brushed his teeth, hugged his mom and went to school with his brother. Maddie looked at Josh, concerned and said, "You didn't tell him you were with Borisu Sensei last night, didn't you?" "No, I didn't. Although I should be private about it, I feel like I would only tell him why I was out there last night. It's the least I can do to make him think I'm not hiding any secrets anymore," he began, "and I don't want him to tell anyone about it, even though some of us DO know about it, such as you, Borisu, Joniku and Juniko Saratoshi and my arch nemesis, Deruko. Deruko, for instance, wants to spoil it to Joseph and I don't want him to. I've got to keep him quiet." "Ok…" Maddie said, concerned.
Joseph and Blake arrived at school and their classmates were right beside them. They walked to the lunchroom and hung out there before their first period started, which was Adv PE. They got their gym clothes on and they played a game for a while before lifting weights in the weight room. School seemed like a boring thing for them, but they breezed through it and at the end of school, they and their classmates got on the bus and before they went anywhere, the bus driver said in Japanese, "You'll be riding this bus every day until the end of the second semester, which is the last day of school. I'll hand out these rules from this yellow sheet of paper. Read these rules carefully and follow them. If you don't follow these rules, you'll be considered 4 days off this bus and you'll have to WALK all the way home." He handed out the rules to each and every body on the bus, including Joseph and Blake, who eyed them with a smile on his face. The bus rules were as follows on the bus in Japanese and English:

Stay seated forward on the bus at all times.

No profanity on the bus whatsoever.

If you get caught eating food, you'll be suspended off the bus unless you have a food pass from your teachers.

Water is fine on the bus, but no juice or soda of any kind.

Keep your hands, feet and backpacks to yourselves at all times.

Don't fight on the bus.

Phones are not allowed on the bus unless told otherwise.

Do not stand up or move to a different seat while this bus is in motion. If I have to brake and you're standing up, you'll fly out the bus and get yourself killed. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW.

Remember to read the rules and behave on your best behavior.

Have fun on this bus!

The bus driver drove around the town, but stopped because of an explosion at one of the buildings next to the bus. Joseph and Blake saw what happened and they asked the bus driver to let them off here, and he opened the doors and they took off into the building and the bus was long gone. What they saw was Josh badly beaten and walked out of the building. "DAD!" Joseph and Blake yelled and went to help their father. "Kids, what are you doing here?" Josh asked in pain. "Get out of here! Someone is coming after you two!" "Coming after us- Dad, what happened?!" Joseph yelled, "WHAT HAPP-" But as soon as he started speaking, a kunai knife struck Josh in the neck. Joseph backed off as soon as the kunai knife hit his father. Josh fainted, losing blood immediately. Joseph took the knife out and started to heal his father, not realizing that he had powers. "Well, well… Looks like little Joey here found out about his profound powers now. Interesting," Said a familiar voice. Joseph gripped the kunai and threw it at the man, disappearing as soon as it was thrown and it unexpectedly hit the man on the side. "AHG!" He yelled out and fell on his butt. The kunai knife shortly reappeared, making Joseph realize that what he just threw was a GHOST kunai. "Whoa… This is confusing…" Joseph said quietly, and Josh stood up, weakly. "Deruko, that's enough!" Josh said and put both arms on Joseph and Blake. "Leave these two alone! They are just children!" Joseph looked at him, thinking, What?! That man attacking my father is my Biology teacher?! What the HELL is going ON?! Deruko growled, stood up and took the kunai knife out of his side. "YOU may think so, but that one," he pointed at Joseph, "is not just a child. He healed your wounds, not realizing that he had powers. So think what you're going to say next before he DIES." Deruko went straight for Joseph, but then, a snake came out of Josh's shoulder and bit Deruko on the arm. Deruko yelled in pain and backed off. Joseph was shocked to see that happen. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. WHAT?! SINCE WHEN DOES A SNAKE LIVE IN MY DAD?! He thought. "You little prick… YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!" Deruko took out two fighting gloves and put them on. Josh realized that they were the Poison Claws and told Joseph and Blake, "GET OUT OF HERE NOW! RUN!" But by then, two of Deruko's henchmen grabbed Joseph and Blake and made them step aside, but Joseph wasn't having it. He beat the SHIT out of the two henchmen and went straight for Deruko. "What?!" Josh and Deruko both said. But then, Joseph gave Deruko a good ol' sucker punch to the stomach and pinned him to the ground. "YOU LEAVE MY DAD ALONE, YOU FUCKING ASSBAG!"

Borisu was looking outside at the scene and saw Joseph unleashing his fury on Deruko. Borisu thought to himself, Joseph… He's gonna get killed out there. Shit… The battle between Joseph and Deruko took a turn when Joseph was suddenly scratched by the Poison Claws on his left arm, but Joseph took the pain like a man and did a scissor sweep on Deruko, rendering his arms useless and pinned Deruko to the ground, not letting him breathe or get up. "WHAT DID MY DAD EVER DO TO YOU?!" Joseph yelled at him. Deruko just chuckled and said, "He ruined my life. Now it's time for him to die." He got out of the scissor sweep choke and kicked Joseph in the chest so hard, Joseph got launched into the building and hit the wall. Josh gasped and got ANGRY. He launched at Deruko, but it was too late. Before he dealt an attack, Deruko cut his throat, poisoning Josh. Blake shot Deruko with his arm cannon. Josh was about to die.

After a while after defeating Deruko, Joseph got up and ran over to his father, but by then, it was too late. Josh died right there on the spot. Joseph tried to wake him up, but slowly realized that his dad died right there. "Dad…?" Joseph said, trying not to choke on tears, but he couldn't help it. "No… Dad, get up… Come on, dad… No… NO…" Blake calmed him down so that he wouldn't freak out. But Joseph was beyond DEVATSTATED. Blake had to take him home all by himself with a sad look on his face. But as soon as he got home, there was blood on the door of the house, both inside and outside. Ah, shit… This doesn't look good… Blake went inside, and right there in an instant, his mother was also done for. Just dead, right there. What could've happened here? Joseph saw his mother and went to her immediately. Joseph checked for a pulse, but no heartbeat. "It...it can't be…" Joseph said quietly. He hugged her dead body and sobbed. Blake said softly, "She is, Joseph. She's dead, bro." After some minutes of sobbing, however, a dark energy seemed to surround Joseph, when the sobbing turned more into growls of anger. "That piece of fucking shit… IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS…" Blake tried to calm him down, but he couldn't. He had no control over the situation that he was in with his brother. "THAT LITTLE DEMON IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS MISTAKE…" A dark voice seemed to be heard from Joseph. Blake had no idea what came next, but it was unexpected.
