We Are Fighters (Season: 2)
Episode 2: The Magic Touch

Leading the group of friends to a house in the middle of nowhere, Rachel brought the kids to a house. It looked like a ranch and the crew began walking towards the door. Rachel knocked on the door. It didn't take long for someone to answer it. Opening the door was a woman, around the same height as Rachel. This woman had peach-colored skin and sapphire-blue eyes, along with short blonde hair. She was wearing a black jacket with a yellow hoodie underneath, blue denim shorts, a black hat with a white star, a silver pendant, black fingerless grappling gloves, a white belt and white knee-high boots.

Well, look who it is.
Rachel: Good to see you too...Tina.
Tina: I didn't think I'd be seeing you again.
Rachel: Been busy. Work and all that.
Tina: Right. So what's up with the visit?
Rachel: I need to speak to your husband.
Eliot: Wait a second, Tina is married now!?
Damion: Dude, not the time.
Tina: What's this about?
Rachel: It's urgent, Tina. Someone is missing and your husband might be able to help us.

Tina was silent, for a few second but eventually nodded, allowing the others entrance, into her house. As the group walked inside, Tina placed her hand in front of Rachel, asking them to stay put. She began walking off, into the garage.

Eliot: I had no idea Tina was married.
Hitomi: Neither did I.
Rachel: She kept it a secret, knowing how her father would react.
Damion: She kept her marriage from her dad?
Rachel: They both agreed it was better that way.

Coming back, Tina walked out of the garage and back with the group.

Rachel: Is he here?
Tina: He's here but it'll be a minute. He's workin' on somethin'.

Out of nowhere, the group began hearing footsteps above them. It seemed as though someone was upstairs...and heading down their level. The group go a glimpse of black track pants with a white Union Jack design by the side, and also sports shoes (specifically designed for parkour). When the stranger came all the way downstairs, they got a full view of him. Yes, it was man but seemed to be a little older than most of the kids. The boy had thick hair, and a thick, noticeable beard. His accessories included bandages, some rope necklaces, and tattoos with designs.

I didn't know who had guests over. Would've been nice if you gave me the heads up.
Tina: I would have...but they showed up, without me knowing.
So I see. I never would've guessed you are friends with a couple of shrimps.
Damion: Watch it, dude. Who the hell are you, anyway?
Rachel: This is Tina's son, Ethan Armstrong.
Everyone (except Rachel, Tina and Ethan): SON!?
Ethan: That's right. And who are all of you?
Damion: I'm Damion. Damion Douglas.
Ethan: Now I see...you're that rich snob. Helena produced you?
Damion: What the hell did you just say? I outa...
Marie Rose: Brother, just relax, would ya?
Ethan: And who might you be?
Marie Rose: I'm Marie Rose. Helena and Stryker's adoptive daughter.
Hitomi: I'm Hitomi.
Naotora: Naotora Ii, I lead the Ii clan.
Eliot: My name's Eliot.
Kasumi: I am Kasumi.
Honoka: My name is Honoka.
Ethan: Hey...
Tina: They're here to see your father.
Ethan: What for?
Damion: None of your damn business.

Before things escalated, Tina's husband had finally come out of the garage. Her husband sure was a looker. He had a shaved head with a light stubble beard and was wearing a light blue hoodie with the text "ZACK ISLAND no.1" and some jeans.

These are the ones you were telling me about?
Tina: That's right, hun. They're friends of mine...well, a few of them are.
Well, good to meet you all. Name's MacGrath.
Rachel: Good to see you again, MacGrath.
MacGrath: Rachel. Been a long time, since we last spoke. Where've you been?
Rachel: Working. It's a long story.
MacGrath: I bet. And how's Ryu and the others.
Rachel: They're well.
Damion: Ahem...excuse me, can we get the situation at hand?
Ethan: What situation?
MacGrath: That's what I'd like to know.

Inside the house, Damion and his friends began explaining the incident they were dealing with, along with Rachel.

MacGrath: Damn, that's one hell of a story.
Ethan: A little hard to believe.
Tina: What did Stryker and Helena say about this?
Hitomi: Well...
Damion: We haven't told them anything and we don't plan to.
MacGrath: You think you can keep this from them forever. Eventually, they'll find out.
Damion: If they do, then they do. It won't stop me from finding Yokoshi.
Ethan: Who's Yokoshi?
Damion: My best friend. I already explained this, keep up, would ya?
Marie Rose: We have to find a way back and bring him home.
Honoka: He's our friend.
MacGrath: ...I can see how much he means to you all...I've been there before.
Tina: Are you saying you'll give them a hand, hun?
MacGrath: I am. All of you, come down to the garage. I've got something to show ya.
Eliot: What is it?
MacGrath: You'll see. C'mon.

MacGrath led his wife, his son and the others into the garage. They walked downstairs and when they made it to the bottom, what they saw was unbelievable. It looked to be some type of gizmo...but it had a similar look to it.

Ethan: Holy shit, dad.
Damion: is that...what I think it is.
MacGrath: That's right. This is my very own time machine.
Marie Rose: You're going to let us use this?
MacGrath: If you wanna get your friend back, then yeah. I am.
Eliot: So, how do we use it?
MacGrath: That is my job. I'll set in the date to where you wanna be sent back and BAM, you're there.
Damion: Hell yeah! Now we're talkin'!
Hitomi: Thank you so much, MacGrath!
Honoka: Let's go, let's go!
Ethan: Hold on...I'm going too.
Damion: What? Like hell you are.
Ethan: If you think I'm going to miss an opportunity like this? You've got another thing coming.
Eliot: Damion, we might need the extra help.
Marie Rose: He's right, brother.
Damion: Can you even fight?
Ethan: You'd be surprised what I can do.
Damion: I doubt it.
MacGrath: Alright, everyone, step on the pad and I'll get this thing started.

The group followed MacGrath's instructions and stepped onto the pad. MacGrath started pressing buttons and keypads on the machine, it started to activate, making humming noises, wiggling around and flickering with electricity.

MacGrath: Alright, now where exactly am I sending you?
Damion: September 12, 1582.
MacGrath: Alright, best of luck.
Tina: And bring my son back, safely.
Rachel: Will do.

As MacGrath punched in the exact date, the machine acted wildly and electricity began surrounding the entire group. And before they knew it, the light-show and lightning sent the group back into the past.

Tina: I can't believe it. It worked, baby!
MacGrath: I told it would. Let's just hope they made it back.

Back within the jungle of the forest, lights and electricity forged on the ground and out came Damion, Marie Rose, Eliot, Hitomi, Honoka, Naotora, Rachel, Kasumi and Ethan.

Damion: Looks like it worked.
Naotora: It did. This is the forest, near my village.
Hitomi: But where's Yokoshi?
Honoka: I don't see him anywhere.
Ethan: You guys didn't obviously think he was just going to be here, when we arrived, did you?
Eliot: Then...
Ethan: He's probably elsewhere, looking for a way back home.
Damion: Or waiting for us to come for him. C'mon, let's get moving.
Kasumi: But where should we start first?
Naotora: Let's head back to the village. He could have waited there for us.
Damion: Naotora has a point. Let's give it a shot and see.

With Damion leading the group, they all headed back to the village, in hopes of finding their lost friend.
