A/N Seems like Susan, Mary and Isamu have gotten themselves into some trouble, but let's see if they managed to find a piece of the brush before Rokuro showed up. Be sure to let me know what you think of my story. I do not own Johnny Test.

Chapter 5: Raid in Tokyo Part 2

The twins were in an alley in black clothing with Isamu while he was still in his casual outfit and looking around the streets to make sure the coast was clear. When the girls had finished going through all the gear that they had, they checked in on the archeologist.

Susan: "Are we good to go, Isamu?"

Isamu: "Yes, the streets are clear, so we should be able to easily get into the library… Heh, it's funny."

Mary: "What is?"

Isamu: "It feels like yesterday that first I met the four of you on the streets of this city."

Susan: "Yeah, I guess it does bring back some memories. Anyway, let's get in there and find that piece of the brush."

Isamu: "Right. Do you two think the boys will be able to find the other one in the museum?"

Mary: "Trust us, Isamu; when it comes to breaking in, getting what we need and getting out, those two get the job done every time."

Susan: "That, and Johnny would probably prefer the museum over library."

Isamu: "Okay, I'll take word for it. Now then, let's move."

The twins and Isamu approach the front door of the library slowly while making sure no one was around to see them going in. Susan picks the lock on it and they all enter the library. As they were walking inside, Mary uses the freeze blaster they had on the security cameras they see. The three explored the library, looking for any kind of clue that would show where the piece was. After they had spent half an hour searching nearly every shelf in the library, Susan says,

Susan: "Ugh, I don't think that we're getting anywhere."

Mary: "Me neither. It's like we're looking for a needle in a haystack here. Isamu, are you having any luck at your end?"

Isamu: "No, but, don't worry, you two. We'll find it. I'm sure of it. Hmm… think; where would Manabu hide the piece of his brush in a place like this?"

Suddenly, as Isamu was about to pass another shelf full of books, the incomplete brush that he had in his pocket began to glow. He takes a step back in front of the bookshelf and takes out the brush as it continues to glow. The twins reunite with him when they noticed the light in the darkness and say,

Susan: "Isamu, what's going on?"

Mary: "Why is the brush glowing like that?"

Isamu: "Ahh… Susan, Mary, I think we just found our way to the second piece of the brush, behind this bookshelf."

Mary: "Seriously?"

Isamu: "Yes, I am certain of it."

Susan: "Well, it's about time. Should we try and move it?"

Isamu: "Sure, there might be something behind it. Let's do it."

The three had shifted the shelf off the wall and to the left. They then find some Japanese characters lined up on the wall. Isamu looked at each one in front of him and noticed something about them.

Isamu: "Hm!"

Susan: "What? What is it?"

Isamu: "These characters tell each story genre that Manabu has ever written. So, perhaps… the only way we're going to get to the piece of the brush is to pick the genre that Manabu had used the most in the stories he told."

Isamu had examined each one of the characters on the wall for a moment until he had recalled the time he spent studying Manabu's scroll and the stories that were written by Manabu. He then made a decision as he reached out and pushed in the Japanese character for "adventure". After he did, it started to glow as the wall in front of them lowered itself to reveal a hidden room and plenty of stairs. As they began walking down the stairs, Isamu says,

Isamu: "Interesting. These halls look exactly like the ones Johnny and I were in back in the Botha Forest."

Susan: "So, then, we should be able to find the piece in here, right?"

Isamu: "I believe so."

They kept going until they reached the end of the stairs and continued down a hallway while Isamu used the glowing piece in his hand as a lantern. When they reached the end of the hall, they first thought that they reached a dead-end, until they looked up at the wall in front of them and saw a ledge that was very high up.

Isamu: "Ah, that must be where Manabu had put another one of the pieces."

Susan: "You think so?"

Isamu: "Yes. Look at this wall; we can easily climb it to get up there."

Mary: "Yeah, you're right."

Susan: "Looks like it's time to use the all-terrain shoes again."

Mary: "Good idea. Sorry we didn't bring a pair for you, Isamu."

Isamu: "As long as we can get up there and find that piece, it's all right."

Mary: "Okay then, let's do it."

The twins switched their all-terrain shoes on and begin walking up the wall while Isamu remained where he was. It had been a quick and easy climb as they had made it to the top, but then they had walk down the wall to the other side. When they got back to the ground, they managed to find the piece of the brush laying right in front of them on a rock.

Susan: "Finally, about time."

Mary: "Quick, let's bring it to Isamu."

Mary picked up the piece, went up and over the wall again with her sister and showed their piece to the archeologist.

Isamu: "Ah, there it is. Good work, you two."

Mary and Susan: "Thanks."

But then, both of the pieces glowed brighter, floated in the air and had put themselves together. Although it was still incomplete, they were now one step closer to finding Manabu's scroll. It's glow had dimmed out as it floated back in Isamu's hand.

Mary and Susan: "Cool."

Isamu: "Yes, very. Hmm… looks like it only needs two more pieces before it's completely restored."

Mary: "Well, Johnny and Dukey are already working on getting one of them at the library."

Susan: "But what about the second one?"

Isamu: "I am not sure, but I do think that we will find out once they return with their piece. Come on, let's get out of here and return to the hovercraft."

Mary and Susan: "Right."

They had gone out the cave the same way they came in, but as soon as they were back in the library and walked up to the railing, they suddenly find Rokuro in the library along with a few of his thugs carrying rifles. Rokuro had spotted them and called out to his former comrade.

Rokuro: "Hello again, Isamu."

Isamu: "Rokuro! But, how?"

Rokuro: "You didn't think that you would be able to lose me that easily, did you? I assure you that I will not allow you to have that scroll before me, and you won't be able to escape from me this time. None of you will. (Commands in Japanese)"

His men aimed their rifles at the twins and the archeologist.

Isamu: "LOOK OUT!"

They take cover behind the bookshelf they had moved earlier as Rokuro's thugs opened fire.

Susan: "I think we're gonna need Johnny and Dukey's help right now."

Isamu: "That's what I was thinking. You two contact them while I provide some cover fire."

They both agreed as Mary takes out the freeze blaster while saying,

Mary: "Here, Isamu. Use this." (Gives Isamu freeze blasters)

Isamu: "Thanks."

While Isamu uses the freeze blaster to keep the thugs back, Susan turns on her wrist communicator to call Johnny, and he eventually answers with Dukey by his side.

Johnny: "Yeah?"

Susan: "Johnny, did you find that piece in the museum yet?"

Johnny: "Yeah, about a few seconds ago."

Susan: "Good, then get down here to the library, ASAP!"

Johnny: "Huh? Why?"

Dukey: "What's going on down there?"

Mary: "It's Rokuro! He and his men are attacking us!"

Johnny: "Say wha?"

Dukey: "But how?"

Isamu: "He must've tracked us down here while we were waiting for midnight. It's the only way he could've found us, and right now, we could use some assistance down here!"

Susan: "Hurry, Johnny!"

Johnny: "All right, we're coming."

Susan: (Shuts off communicator) "We're gonna have to hold out on our own until they get here."

Isamu: "Yes, but, if they found us here, then chances are they might be under attack as well."

Mary: "Oh yeah, good point, but, hopefully they'll be able to slip pass them and be here in no time."

FIVE MINUTES LATER…

The flame-headed boy had arrived over the library while carrying his mutant dog. They see a couple of vans parked outside along with some thugs next to them. They could even hear the gunfire going on inside.

Johnny: "Looks like that Rokuro guy just brought a whole army with him this time."

Dukey: "Yeah, the girls and Isamu must be in real trouble."

Johnny: "Then we'll just have to bust them out of trouble. You got the freeze blaster ready?"

Dukey: (Takes out freeze blaster) "Ready and willing."

Johnny: "Then let's dive, dog! Geroni-bungaa!"

Johnny flies them straight to the roof while Dukey freezes part of the roof. They easily ram right through the ice as they made a hole on the roof and gotten everyone's attention in the library.

Johnny: "Hey, guys."

Mary, Susan and Isamu: "Johnny! Dukey!"

Rokuro: "So, the gang's all here after all. Shoot them down!"

Dukey: "Uh-oh."

Rokuro's men started shooting at them, but missed every shot as the flame-headed boy flew around the library while his four-legged best friend used the freeze blaster to freeze some of them. They eventually landed where Isamu and the twins were hiding to take cover.

Johnny: "Well, this isn't working out the way I thought it would."

Dukey: "How do we get out of here?"

Isamu: "Hmm… I have an idea. You four create a diversion to lure them away from the library. I'll wait here and remain out of sight until they all leave so they'll think I've gone with you. Once they're gone, I'll make a run for the hovercraft and wait for you all there, and then we can fly our way out."

Johnny: "Good thinking, Isamu, and I know just how to do it. Turbo Action Backpack, change into a fast car with room for four."

The backpack did as it was commanded as it transformed into a car that looked fast enough for Isamu's plan to work. Johnny hopped in the driver's seat while Dukey and the twins got in the passengers.

Isamu: "Good luck to you all."

That was the last thing Isamu said to them before he pushed the bookshelf down on the railing to improvise a ramp. Johnny slammed his foot on the gas pedal; tires screech as they drove on the bookshelf and sailed through the air over Rokuro and his thugs, landed on the ground, smashed through the wall and began driving down the road. Rokuro's thugs hopped into their vans to chase the Test kids. When Dukey looked back, he sees three vans right behind them.

Dukey: "Uh-oh. Johnny, we got company!"

Johnny: "That's exactly what I was hoping for."

He makes a hard right turn and the vans followed. One of the thugs eventually leans out the window and aims his rifle at the Test kids. He fired a few shots but missed as Johnny zigzagged on the road to dodge.

Dukey: "They're still shooting at us!"

Johnny: "Maybe they just need to learn how to chill out. Dukey, take the wheel."

Johnny got up his seat, turned around and took out his freeze blaster while Dukey kept the car steady. The flame-headed boy aims and fires at the van with the trigger-happy thug. He made the engine so cold, it died out. Johnny resumes driving the car while his sisters say,

Mary: "Nice shot, little brother."

Susan: "Now we just need to deal with the other two."

Johnny: "Not a problem."

As they kept driving, Johnny saw another turn coming and got an idea. He does a drift turn to go left and while he was turning, he quickly drew his freeze blaster and fired at the road. One of the two vans drove through the ice and lost control as it crashed into a fire hydrant. The third van was still on their tails.

Johnny: "Two down, one to go."

After a while of driving, they notice a railroad crossing coming and it's lights just started flashing. Johnny looked to see where the train was and suddenly got another idea when a scene from a Speed McCool movie played in his head. Dukey, Susan and Mary saw a look on his face and immediately knew what he was about to attempt.

Dukey: "Oh no. Oh no."

Mary: "Johnny, you're not seriously going to-"

Johnny: "Oh yes I am. It's the only way to lose these dorks."

Susan: "Johnny, are you insane?! What if we don't make it?"

Johnny: "Sure we will. Trust me."

Johnny pressed his foot harder on the gas as they were coming in hot to the railroad crossing and the train was getting closer. They were all screaming as they got closer and closer to the tracks. The train had barely missed them as they went right through the crossing. The car came to a parallel stop, the Test kids were all breathing heavily for a bit until Johnny says,

Johnny: "See? I told you guys that we'd make. That wasn't so bad, right?"

Dukey: "If I ever trust you to do something like that again, there'd better be a huge juicy porterhouse involved next time."

Johnny: "I'll take that as a maybe."

Mary: "(Sighs) Well, now that that's done, let's just get to Isamu at the hovercraft."

Johnny: "Way ahead of you." (Steps on gas pedal)

Dukey: "You think he made it there okay?"

Susan: "Let's hope that he did."

Johnny had driven them to the building to where they had left the hovercraft and the car had transformed back into a backpack after they had gotten off it. Johnny puts it on as they began running all the way up the stairs. When they reached the top floor and went through the door to the roof, they find their hovercraft exactly where they left it, but then they unexpectedly find Rokuro sitting in the driver's seat along with an unconscious Isamu in the passenger seat. Rokuro had gotten the engine started, sees the Test kids and gives them a very sleazy grin as he prepared to take off.

Mary and Susan: "He's stealing the hovercraft!"

Dukey: "And Isamu's in there with him!"

Johnny: "Hey! Stop right there!"

They ran as fast as they could to stop him, but they were too late. Rokuro had flown away in their hovercraft with their archeologist friend inside. After watching him fly off, they noticed a note floating around the air down to them and landed near their feet. Dukey picks up the note and Johnny anxiously asks,

Johnny: "What does it say? What does it say?!"

Dukey: "It says, "If you Americans ever want to see your friend Isamu again, then you will bring your piece of Manabu's brush to Hashima Island"."

Johnny: "Whoa, didn't see that coming. So, uh, where is this island supposed to be anyway?"

Mary: "Hmm, I'm pretty sure that Hashima Island is located east of Japan."

Susan: "Right, and considering how abandoned that place is, it'd make sense why he would take Isamu there."

Johnny: "Yeah, that's great, but how the heck are we supposed to get there without the hovercraft?"

Susan: "We still have the Turbo Action Backpack, remember?"

Johnny: "Huh? Oh yeah, duh!"

The flame-headed boy commanded the Turbo Action Backpack to transform in a jet to fly them all to Hashima Island and shortly, they were all on their way to save their friend.
