We Are Fighters (Season: 2)

Episode 1: No Way Out

Yokoshi, Damion Douglas, Marie Rose, Hitomi, Honoka, and Eliot encountered a woman of the past named Naotora Ii. She was a graceful ruler of her pack, known as the Ii Clan. Sadly, she was pulled from her time by a man named Victor Donovan and thrown into the future. With the help of her new friends, Naotora set out on a mission to return to her respective timeline. Although they succeeded, it did not last long. Two unfamiliar faces from the future arrived to recapture Naotora. Together, Yokoshi and his friends worked on defending the Ii clan ruler and protect her. However, the mission failed, when they were forced to return to their own time…with Naotora. With the efforts of their parents, Damion, Marie Rose, Hitomi, Eliot and Honoka managed to make it back home. As for Yokoshi…he sacrificed himself and stayed behind, within the past.

On The Freedom Survivor…

Helena: Explain yourselves.

Damion: …

Marie Rose: …

Stryker: Kids, answer your mother!

Marie Rose: We're…We're sorry.

Damion: We had to do it.

Stryker: Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you could've gotten into?

Helena: You could have changed the course of history made our future into a mess.

Damion: Mom, we didn't have a choice! Naotora was in trouble, we had to help her.

Stryker: Sending her home is one thing. We understand that. But you crossed the line…

Marie Rose: What do you mean?

Helena: You explained you came across two unfamiliar faces?

Naotora: Y-Yes…I did not remember them, from the village.

Stryker and Helena looked at each other, believing that there was a perfect explanation.

Damion: Me and Honoka actually managed to hold them off.

Stryker: This time.

Damion: What do you mean?

Helena: They were not fighting to kill you.

Stryker: They were testing you. Learning your skills.

Damion: Well, they were strong. I'll give them that.

Helena: Did they ever give a name?

Damion: No, they didn't.

Helena: Was one of them a woman?

Honoka: Yes! One of them was.

Helena: There is only one woman who would do Donovan's dirty work.

Stryker: You mean…

Helena: Yes…her.

Stryker: You said there was another with the woman. Who was it?

Damion: A know-it-all tough guy.

Stryker: So it was a man. Anyone you might know?

Helena: No.

Damion: The guy had these strange markings on his arms. Like…blueprints.

Stryker & Helena: Blueprints?

Eliot: What are we going to do though? About Yokoshi?

Zack: The kid's right. My son is still out there, in the past.

Hitomi: Can't we just go back in time and bring him home?

Stryker: We can't risk changing the past, more than you already have.

Eliot: You mean like how you showed Naomasa your cell phone?

Hitomi: Shhh!

Lisa: So what will we do? Just leave my son?

Stryker: No one's saying that, Lisa. We just gotta think this through.

Damion: Dad, we can't leave him back there.

Stryker: And we won't. We need a plan, in case Naotora's people they see us again.

Marie Rose: Father…

Stryker walked from Helena's side and over to his adoptive daughter. He kneeled down, placing his hands on her shoulders.

Stryker: We'll find Yokoshi…and bring him home. I promise you.

Damion: …

Marie Rose: …

Eliot: …

Hitomi: …

Naotora: …

Honoka: …

Zack: Whatever I can do to get my son back…You gotta let me help.

Lisa: The same goes with me.

Helena nodded her head at Zack and Lisa, offering to let them help.

Stryker: Kids, give us a minute to discuss the situation. Go wait, in the other room.

With no other choice, the kids did what Stryker asked. Just as Damion closed the door, he was able to get a quick look at Stryker, walking over to Zack, Lisa and Mizuki.

Eliot: Sooo…that's it? We just do nothing?

Damion: No…we WILL do something.

Marie Rose: Damion, you heard what father said.

Damion: Yokoshi is my best friend. I shouldn't have left him back there.

Kasumi: Yokoshi is stubborn. He believes his actions keep us safe.

Damion: Well, he's not always right.

Honoka: Then…what will we do?

Damion: We'll find a way back to the past and bring him home.

Marie Rose: You heard what father said. They would do so themselves.

Damion: And how long would that take?

Eliot: …

Honoka: …

Hitomi: …

Naotora: …

Kasumi: …

Marie Rose: We have to trust our parents, brother.

Damion: I do. But I can't sit around, doing nothing.

Kasumi: I cannot do the same either. He needs our help.

Honoka: I'm in!

Eliot: So am I!

Naotora: I wish to help, as well.

Hitomi: That goes double for me too!

Marie Rose: …

Damion: Sis, you don't have to get involved.

Marie Rose: And sit around doing nothing, while my friend's in trouble?

The group looked at each other, smiling at Marie's reaction.

Marie Rose: Yokoshi may get on my nerves but he's still my friend.

Damion: Then let's get to planning.

Hitomi: Where do we start first?

Damion: We need figure out how to go back in time.

Honoka: How do we do that?

Damion: There has to be someone who could help with that.

Eliot: Even I don't know the answer to that.

Marie Rose: There might be someone who can help with us.

Hitomi: Really who?

Marie Rose led the group to the destination of the "someone who can help". The group made their way to Daylight High.

Damion: The high school?

Eliot: Why are we here?

Marie Rose: I know someone here who will give us help.

Kasumi: Who would help us here?

To the eyes of the group, someone came walking out of the front doors. It was the same woman who made Naotora an official student.

Marie Rose: There she is!

Eliot: The principle?

Honoka: How can the principle help us?

Help you with what?

Kasumi: Wait a minute…it…it can't be…

Well, well, well…Kasumi.

Kasumi: I don't believe it, it IS you!

Long time, no see.

Eliot: Wait…Kasumi, you know the principle.

Kasumi: She's…she's…

Marie Rose: Allow me to do the introductions.

Damion: You know something we don't, sis?

Marie Rose: Her being our principle…is a cover-up.

Everyone: Cover-up!?

Marie Rose: That's right. Everyone…this is Rachel. And she's a fiend hunter.

Naotora: Fiend hunter…?

Damion: And just HOW LONG have you known about this!?

At Hitomi's house, Marie Rose began explaining that Rachel was an old friend of Stryker and that she has been assisting him with keeping the world and his family safe, from harm.

Damion: So father knew Rachel? Why didn't I know about her?

Marie Rose: Maybe because you always went out to parties and meeting inappropriate girls.

Damion: …Got me there.

Kasumi: I never would have guessed Rachel would be your principle…

Hitomi: But if Rachel is…what you say she is…then why would she be undercover?

Damion: More importantly why at our school, of all places?

Because your father asked me.

From the other room, Rachel had appeared…but in a whole new outfit. She was now wearing a skin-tight black leather combat suit that was compressed and cut in ways that reveal her midriff and large breasts. She also wore black thigh-high boots with various belts and knee arsenals; on her left arm she has a red layered Spike shoulder guard. Her new appearance had Damion and Eliot blushing admiring her new look.

Rachel: Your father asked me to watch over his kids and keep them safe.

Hitomi: Now it makes sense.

Rachel: Now tell me. What is this all about?

Marie Rose: We need your help…to get a friend back.

Rachel: A friend?

Naotora: He sacrificed himself to protect us and now he's trapped.

Rachel: Trapped where?

Honoka: In the past.

Rachel: The past? What are you talking about?

Damion: This girl isn't truly Naotora Lee. She's actually Naotora Ii. The actual leader of the Ii clan.

Rachel: Hrm…you don't say. And I thought it was too good to be true.

Marie Rose: Apparently, Donovan created some type of machine that allowed him to–

Rachel: Donovan? As in Victor Donovan?

Damion: Yeah…how do you know him?

Rachel: I have heard a lot about him, through your father. I hear he's a dangerous man.

Eliot: From what we've heard, he sounds like it.

Hitomi: Apparently, he used some type of machine to pull Naotora from the past and bring her into our time.

Rachel: The future.

Honoka: Mhm.

Damion: We tried to use the machine that DOATEC built and send her back…but we were pulled through, as well. We were stuck in the past, for a few hours.

Marie Rose: But then…someone from our timeline had arrived in the past as well.

Rachel: Do you know who it was?

Marie Rose: No.

Eliot: According to Helena and Stryker, they know who it is.

Hitomi: But they wouldn't tell us.

Rachel: And what about this friend?

Damion: He stayed behind, to give us a chance to escape…which we did.

Eliot: But before we could go back for him, the scientists shut down the portal.

Rachel: And you think he still remains in the past?

Damion: He has to be. Where else could he have gone?

Rachel: Hrm…everything you told me is a little hard to believe…but now completely.

Hitomi: So…can you help us?

Kasumi: Please, help us find Yokoshi. And bring him home.

Rachel: Why not just use the portal that DOATEC made?

Damion: Our parents won't let us go near it.

Rachel: …

Honoka: Is there any other way?

Rachel: Maybe. I know someone who can also go through time.

Kasumi: Really? Who?

Rachel: He's a good friend of mine. He's not technically human…but he's also not alien.

Damion: Who is it?
