A/N: This next chapter as I said previously is where both Akira and Yuni's fourth outfits in Ultramix 4 can be seen and the first time to have a triple background musics are played rather than in dual. This is the thirteenth chapter of my fic.
Chapter 13: Cyber Fashion Faux Pas
At Guangzhou, China... a mafia base is located at the riverside near in the Pearl River. A mafia leader was furious after seeing their previous target which happens to be Fang Cheung a man who slew Akira's father after he saves his own boss at the cost of his life in the past.
"So his own son has returned...? I should have known, now this is right time to act..."
Back at the S.P.F Headquarters, Akira is discussing with their chief Wang in their native language with both Rage and Retsu by his side. Therefore, Wang tells him that the intel are continued searching the whereabouts of the mafia Chinese branch.
"No way... how come it's very delay. We can't locate without the map to find it?" Akira said angrily as Wang becomes insisted.
"There's no need to lose your patience, Solid Temple. The intel are trying their best to find the location."
Rage's communicator is lighted up in a red light as he picks in his right pocket from his blue gray camoflauge capris and clicks the button to see his grandfather's image. Wang becomes angered to him.
"Can't you please stop beeping your pager? Or I will confiscated it?"
"Don't get so agitated, Mr. officer?" Garuda said as he angrily raises his brow and becomes disappointed by this. "Gah... those Chinese people nowadays, Yer being too slow whenever ya located where it is..."
"What did you say!?" Wang yelled as Garuda instructs Rage.
"Reiji, press the blue button at the left side of the communicator then ya put it on the ground."
"Okay, grandfather..." Rage said as he clicks the blue button at the left of his communicator and he puts it on the ground and Garuda simply appears as a hologram.
"Why it was you... the renowned scientist of Japan?" Wang said finally recognized him.
"That's right... the mafia are not gonna stop if ya keep on tryin' to delay on yer research..." Garuda said as a hologram and he faces Rage, Retsu and Akira. "You three... yer next mission right now is to find that tourist who came here in Beijing and was targeted by the mafia within this country."
"Sure but... who's that tourist...?" Rage wondered.
"Ya might find out who that tourist is? That person has the same complexion as B' has." Garuda said as he finally sends the map to by mail. "I already send this map to this chief fella, that way they can easily to research the whereabouts of the mafia base..."
"Thanks grandfather... you are a typical genius old man..." Rage smiled thankfully.
"Okay we'll continue that... if it wasn't for you? We can find it's location so that we can set a raiding operation..." Wang said calmly.
"All right... I'm sure you can easily find it whenever you can... I'll let those three to handle other things."
After the incident, Akira was relieved and became thankful to Rage due to his grandfather's interferance and Retsu was impressed.
"Thanks for everything, Rage... if it wasn't for you? The chief would not going to trust us..." Akira said thankfully.
"It's okay... I didn't expect my grandfather can upgrade my communicator. It enables himself in a holographic form." Rage smiled while looking on his communicator.
"He sure is a genius inventor..." Retsu remarked as the trio meets a short blonde haired girl with black bonnet hat and wears a openly white buttoned shirt with black strapless bra, black jogging pants with white linings and black sneakers with white soles as both Rage and Retsu blushes to see her appearance.
"Oooh... you boys are totally peeping me, I'm impressed." the blonde haired girl said as Retsu asks her.
"Um... you're pretty gorgeous on that look of yours."
"Don't tell me that you boys are going to the beach too, huh?" the blonde haired girl said in a flirtatious manner. "By the way, my name is Honey and I'll see you later... boys... tee hee."
When Honey leaves the scene both Rage and Retsu keeps staring at her which makes Akira feels dismayed from their actions.
"She's totally gorgeous..." Retsu said became attracted to Honey.
"Yeah... just like Ling..." Rage said also became attracted as Akira tells at both of them in disappointment.
"You two... I think you keep on drooling around from that woman. She must be the mafia's next target."
"You're probably right..."
"I guess Yuni and the girls loves to go to the beach." Retsu said as he has an idea. "That's it... I think that girl actually goes to the beach."
"Retsu I think she dropped this?" Rage said as they read the calling card and it reveals that Honey goes to the hotel in Yalong Bay. "I guess that girl goes to Yalong Bay."
"Wait a second, Yalong Bay is in Sanya province and it's far from my place." Akira said surprisingly as he calmly tells them. "It's best if we tell Yuni, Emi and Kari about this. It's going to be a 5 hour flight to go there."
On their way to Sanya province, we can see Rage and the others are asleep in their private jet as Akira looked to see Yuni fell asleep beside him. He simply made a mistake to them that going to Sanya is within 37 hours which takes them for a day to get in there as he thought.
I almost forgot to say to them that going to Sanya is in 37 hours. Guess it's better I'll tell them once we save that person who is targeted by the mafia.
At Yalong Bay in Sanya province, Rage and the group are impressed to see the beach waters are very clear and also have white sands. The girls are excited to swim in the beach. Although, Akira is still dismayed due to his job as being Yuni's bodyguard.
"Okay... now this is the perfect spot for us to swim in the beach. Let's go, girls..." Yuni smiled excitedly as she goes with Emi and Kari.
"Oh brother, it's going to be a hot stuff for us in here..."
"I've never seen this is the best beach around in your place, Akira." Retsu complimented and Rage likes to swim in the beach.
"I can't wait to swim in this place. This is going to have fun."
"In my case, when Yuni goes sunbathing. I still remain to wear a corporate attire." Akira remarked as Rage angrily tells him.
"Come on, Akira... Yuni actually gave you a five days time off. You need to spend your time off not to remain being as her bodyguard all the time."
"You have to relax, Akira... This is your only chance." Retsu said in a calm manner as both convinces him as he replies.
"Okay then... I hate if I don't spend my time off but I can still guard Yuni if we're gonna have fun."
"Okay... now let's get boogie." Rage smiled excitedly as Honey passes them.
"Hi boys... so this is where you gonna stay? Don't tell me that you three just followed me here?"
"Uh... we didn't follow you or anything, you see..." Rage said shyly.
"Yeah... we came here just to have fun in the beach." Retsu said smiling.
"Oh I see... well have fun boys... I got a lot of make over to do..." Honey said happily as she leaves in a flirtatious manner as both men are watching her running.
"Wow... she so cute when she runs..." Retsu said as Rage replies.
"Yeah...talk about make overs, she's was just like Ling."
"Yeah, you both seem really broken up about it." Akira said in disappointment while having two napkins from both of his hands after seeing both Rage and Retsu are getting nosebleed from staring at Honey. "Here take these..."
"Uh oh, thanks..." Both Rage and Retsu get the napkins from his hands as they cover their noses from bleeding.
When the song "Sweetie" has been played, all the tourists are swimming in the beach waters. Other tourists are taking a sunbathing. Yuni is seen relaxing while sitting in the beach chair as Akira still guards her in a maroon swim shorts with yellow linings in each sides of his shorts and dark gray sandals while wearing his black and gray sunglasses and it was the first time for him to guard her in a swimwear as he thought.
Oh boy... I guess this is the first time wearing swimsuits while guarding Yuni at the beach. This is embarrassing...
"Yuni, they have lots of shops near in the beach..." Emi said happily as Yuni smiles.
"All right... let's just say we can check this place out."
"Yuni, where are you going?" Akira asked in a serious tone as Yuni answers.
"We're going to check some shops with Emi. I'll catch you up later..."
When Yuni and Emi leave, Akira lets out of his sighs and seeing that he simply let her go as Rage arrives to see him who is looking for Retsu.
"Hey, Akira..."
"Oh, Rage... why are you here? I thought Retsu is with you?" Akira said nicely as the latter becomes frustrated
"Urgh, how can I say this...? Retsu just left us without a word after we get changed to our swimwear. He sometimes really started to irritate me."
"Hmmm... I'm sure he was checking some shops." Akira wondered as Rage tells him.
"I don't think so... I know for sure he can do something crappy in the beach. We should find him..."
"I guess I let Yuni to go with Emi, Rage. Perhaps, I would help you look for him." Akira smiled politely as he agrees to help Rage to find Retsu.
At the near shops, Yuni and Emi noticed all the Chinese locals are watching Kari demonstrates her knife throwing skills which she quickly throws three knives on the watermelon as it slashes into three which makes her a round of applause.
"Wow, Kari is improving of her knife throwing skills." Emi said amusing as Yuni replies.
"She is no ordinary person can throw a knife like that."
"Oh it's you... what are you doing here?"
"I've never seen you practice your knives efficiently, Kari?" Yuni said smiling.
"Yeah... I'm sure Rage would surprise to see you that." Emi smiled happily.
"My cousin sometimes never to watch me." Kari said as she sighs. "Because he's afraid of me when I throw the knives like in my family tradition performance."
Meanwhile, Retsu is seen looking at the binoculars to see girls in a sexy bikini and he blushes for a moment he looked at the girls.
"Hubba hubba... they're so sexy... Hello baby...?" Retsu said happily said to himself while being in love. "If only I can find a nice girl which is suited for me. I like if I dated them on purpose."
As he continues to look on his binoculars from left to right until Rage angrily gave him a dirty look on his face which Retsu was horribly surprised to see him as he dropped his binoculars.
"Whaaahh?! Reiji what are you doing here?" Retsu said surprisingly as Rage angrily scolds him.
"I'm also asking the same question. What are you doing peeping on sexy girls in a bikini?"
"It's none of your business, Reiji. I'm doing this so that I can find the right girl for me to have a date." Retsu retorted angrily as he tried to get his binoculars but went missing knowing that someone took it from him. "What!? Now where's my binoculars?"
"You can't date a right girl if you act like that." Akira said seriously who is behind him much to Retsu's surprise while handling his binoculars.
"Akira, not you too..." Retsu grunted angrily as he also scolds him.
"Girls wouldn't like you if you keep on acting like a peeping tom or a pervert? But you might ended up being arrested for voyerism."
"Ugh... I'd never expect that you got me, both of you." Retsu grunted as Akira gives his binoculars back.
"Next time don't do it again, alright."
"Hi boys... I've never seen that you can swim in the beach." Honey arrives to see the trio wearing salmon pink see through short sleeve midriff with a matching pink bikini top underneath, a skimpy short shorts with a pink string bikini, white socks and brown sneakers as both Rage and Retsu blushes to see her wearing a revealing outfit and her hair is dye in pink.
"Hey. You're that girl from the last time!" Rage said while pointing an index finger towards Honey.
"Uh... Reiji I guess her blonde hair is dyed into pink." Retsu replied in a nod.
"I'm going to have a swimming in the beach for later. You boys are definitely funny whenever you staring at me like this." Honey said in a flirtatious manner as she gives them two tickets.
"What's this ticket?" Rage nodded as Honey tells them.
"These two tickets that I gave you because I have my own beach fashion show. I can't wait to see both of you watching me. Ta-ta, boys..."
Honey then leaves as she walks away and both ended up staring at her while she walks like Rihanna.
"I've never seen she's wearing skimpy clothes..." Retsu said blushing as Rage replies.
"Wow oh wow... she's totally sexy in a pink string bikini, haah..."
"You two... I think both of your noses are continued to bleed if you keep on looking at her small clothing." Akira said in disappointment while handling two napkins on both of his hands which they quickly grabs it and to cover their nose as he scolds at both of them. "Now look what happen to both of you, you always being charmed by her whenever she's around."
"And what about you? You're trying to show yourself to be interested in younger girls?" Rage said raising his brow while covering his nose with a napkin to make the bleed stop which makes Akira get angry.
"I'm not like that, Rage? Don't spit it out about me being into younger girls?"
Retsu then senses someone is screaming and noticed the scream comes from the beach shops.
"Guys, It looks like we have a problem."
"Something is not right around the shops...?"
"Dang, Yuni might be there with Emi and Kari. We have to find them and fast." Akira said became worried for the girls' safety as he pulls out his handgun from his swim shorts much to Rage's shock.
"Uh... did you keep your handgun to your shorts?"
"How can I keep my gun if I had no pockets?" Akira reacted angrily as Retsu tells them.
"There's not much time, let's go..."
When they arrived at the cluster shops near in the beach. They saw the locals are running like a stampede due to the amok coming from the mafia group. Retsu remembers he saw Emi, Yuni and Kari are just left soon after.
"Dang, not the mafia freaks..." Rage said gritted angrily.
"I guess it's time to take these guys down." Akira said as he readied his handgun as Retsu replies, ready for a fight.
"Yeah... they're causing trouble to the locals. We have to stop them, hurry..."
The trio manages to take down most of the mafia guards who are running amok towards the locals. Rage knocks them heavily with a knee and goes for a roundhouse kick to the other, Retsu beats them with both punches and kicks and grabs one of them to the neck and lifts his face to the ground while Akira knocks them in a close range and shoots most of the mafia guards with his handgun to their heads, killing them. Afterwards, one of the guards retreated the onslaught.
"Luckily, the girls are not here in this stores..." Retsu sighed as Akira becomes relieved.
"At least Yuni is safe..."
"Guys, check it out... there's a Chinese insignia imprinted on their jackets." Rage said while examined his defeated opponent and Akira looked and easily recognized the insignia.
"That insignia... they're from the mafia's Chinese branch?"
"I believe that these guys are looking for someone but who was it?" Retsu wondered as B' arrives to see them having his blonde hair dyed into black and his hair was extended to have a shoulder length dreadlocks with the song "Get that Funky Music" has been played.
"Well if isn't the 'The three Ascians' why are you guys doing at many shops?"
"Oh, It's B'..." Retsu wondered as Rage gets mad at him.
"You shouldn't call us like that, okay... You're quite a racist about us..."
"Don't get so pissed, I have no intention being racist to the three of you. I was looking for someone." B' said as he smiles. "Don't tell me that she went to see the three of you."
"By the way, B'. Did you know about that girl who keeps flirting on us and she also gives us two tickets too?" Rage said wanted to know about Honey as B' recognizes her.
"Ah... that girl you mentioned. She's my partner, Honey. Looks like her flirtatious behavior to make the two of you get nosebleed."
"Honey!?"
"She sometimes wanted to attract every boys including the locals here on the beach." B' said as he looked on the defeated mafa guards. "It seems that these guys came here to look for Honey. I really need a favor, I know for sure my partner would be in danger. Please you have to protect her just like you saved me back in DDR City."
"Don't worry we'll save her..." Rage said in a confident manner.
"Thanks, Rage..." B' smiled thankfully as he leaves the scene.
"So Honey is the mafia's next target... I should have known." Akira sighed and he tells Retsu. "Retsu, you need to take the picture of this insignia. So that the S.P.F.'s intel would analyzed it."
"Okay... once I done with that. We'll discuss this to the girls about this."
That night at the hotel, Rage and the group discusses in how to save Honey from the mafia group which she is currently been targeted.
"How come you say that you ended up being flirted by that woman, Rage?" Emi said scolding at him.
"I didn't intend to flirt on that woman, Emi. She's the one who flirts on both of us. We always ended up being nosebleed by her." Rage said telling her.
"So this is your group, huh?" B' later arrives wearing a rainbow tank top, ripped jeans and leather shoes and the girls noticed his physical appearance.
"Oh dear... this guy is bigger than Akira." Yuni commented and Emi was shocked by this.
"Yeah... he must be six inches away from Rage?"
"Sorry for the interruption, girls. I came here to inform the three guys right here." B' said as he tells the trio. "According to Honey, the introduction of her fashion show is to have two people wearing cyber fashion attires."
"What's a cyber fashion attire?" Kari wondered and Emi tells her.
"It's the costumes that Charmy and Astro wore. I think she wants both of them to wear those."
"This cute girl was right... Honey is trying to show the models wearing futuristic clothes. That's why I came here to help." B' said and Rage asks him.
"So who's gonna portray two people in a futuristic attires similar to Astro and Charmy's attires?"
"We're gonna do it, Rage..." Yuni replies in an answer. "For my sakes, were from Team Best. We can handle that..."
"Yuni..." Emi said calling her name.
"Besides, I love fashion and I can't crossed my mind." Yuni said as she convinces her bodyguard. "Akira, It's time for us to do this introduction."
"I think you have a point, Yuni. If we do that introduction then both Rage and Retsu are going to deal the mafia then I'll help them after we done this."
"That's it... the two tickets that Honey gave us... Let's just say we're gonna make a decoy." Rage suggested as he looked at her girlfriend Emi.
At the tonight's fashion show where all the audience are gonna watch, Emi is seen without her light blue short sleeved jacket while Kari is with her.
"Wow... I've never seen a lot of audience in here..."
"It looks to me that cousin is pretty serious to take on the mafia from here." Kari said seriously.
Meanwhile at the dressing room, Akira is seen fixing his dark blue tie and he was shown wearing a white and gray futuristic suit with the sign "SP" at the upper back of his suit and two dark blue lines in each side of his sleeves and black thick lines in each side of his suit and white futuristic boots with two blue lines. His hair is dyed in dark purple and became nervous to see many audience are going to watch them as he thought.
This is just like in the popularity contest. But I've never seen Ling is here for her newly designed clothes for me and Yuni to put on and she's the one who dyed our hair.
"So, Akira... are you ready for this. You're just like a guy from the space patrol group." Ling commented nicely.
"It's okay, Ling. I'm ready for this and I didn't expect that you're the one who designed in some of Honey's fashion clothes."
"Akira, it's our turn now. We gotta go..." Yuni calls her bodyguard and she was seen in a white silver futuristic attire, black knee-high socks and boots as he goes with her.
Therefore, Retsu manage to hack the electrical systems to control the lights on stage as Rage finally prepares to fight as his dark red hoodie jacket is been tied to his waist.
"Is it ready yet?"
"I'm almost done, Reiji." Retsu said as he finally completed to hack the system as B' arrives to see them.
"Hey... you seems to act like an electrician."
"I think he's not an electrician, B'. Retsu is a genius hacker so that he can hack every single computers and devices." Rage said telling him.
"You need to be ready, you two. I already detected that the mafia is here at the show." Retsu said convincing both Rage and B' to get ready.
Honey finally arrives on stage wearing a white and light purple futuristic attire and she finally start the fashion show.
"Hello everybody... What do you say we'll start the show?" Honey said in a microphone as everyone gives her a round of applause. "Here is our introduction number on stage..."
As Honey leaves on stage as it rise the curtains, We can see both Akira and Yuni in their futuristic outfits as the latter is seen wearing a white and purple visor. Meanwhile both Emi and Kari noticed their appearance.
"Wow take a look on those two, they're amazing." Kari commented as Emi smiles.
"I've never seen Yuni's hair becomes pink. This is nice..."
Afterwards, the curtains is finally close as the fashion show begins. Akira finally removes the white and purple visor knowing that he wants to help Rage, Retsu and B'.
"Now the introduction performance is over, what are you going to do?" Yuni asked as Akira tells her.
"I'm going to help Rage and the others, Yuni. You need to protect Honey as well."
"Okay, Akira... I'll do it. You have to help Rage and Retsu..." Yuni said finally agrees.
"All right... Guess this is right time for me to take things personally? I have to help them both... " Akira said and became serious to help Rage, Retsu and B' and he and Yuni depart with the song "Arms" has been played.
Rage is seen fighting against the mafia guards with his fighting moves and knocks each of them with a powerful kick and more various punches. Therefore, B' finally demonstrates his brawling moves who heavily knocks them down with a downward punch and lands a powerful straight kick and a leg strike behind him. Retsu is waiting for the right time as the show goes on as he said to himself.
"Time to turn off the lights, people..." Retsu then clicks the button as the whole theater becomes black out except for the stage lights.
"Waah... is that a black out?" Emi said scarily as Kari replies.
"It maybe a black out but the stage lights is still on."
Meanwhile, Honey is ready in her revealing outfit as one of the mafia guards attempts to point her with a handgun which she becomes panicked and Yuni arrives and tackles the guard down on the ground. With that B' manage to knock the guard from the back.
"It's all right, girls..."
Rage continues to take down most of the guards as the latter attempts to kill him. Akira finally arrives and shoots the guard with his handgun.
"Akira, you made it in time..."
"Where's Retsu...?"
Therefore, Retsu tries to control the lights as two guards attempt to attack him which he quickly knocks them off with his traditional karate moves and two other guards tried to shoot him. Without warning, Retsu gets down and someone shoots the two guards in the head. He noticed the gunshots come from Akira's handgun and Akira is behind him who saves him from being killed.
"Thanks, Akira... they almost shot me back then..." Retsu said thankfully.
"You should be careful next time, Retsu..." Akira said giving him some advice.
After the fashion show, Honey and Yuni are seen dancing to show their dance intermission to the audience and Emi and Kari are cheering for Yuni as B' is shown watching his partner at the backstage. At the balcony, Rage, Retsu and Akira are watching them on front and seeing the girls are dancing.
"Say Akira... you look like a futuristic officer who acts like Astro." Rage commented happily and asks. "Who made you wear that outfit?"
"I didn't want it to say this to you, Rage..." Akira said and he smiles to them. "The person who made me wear this futuristic suit is Ling..."
"WHATTTT!? Not Ling... this is so unfair?!" Rage yelled shockingly as he lowers his head and Retsu encourages him.
"It will be fine, Reiji. You still have Emi to be with you, you gotta move on without her."
"You're probably right..." Rage said sadly as Akira receives a call from the S.P.F. and they finally found the mafia base's whereabouts.
"Rage, Retsu... the chief was called and they already found the mafia base." Akira said telling them. "It was located in Guangzhou..."
"Guangzhou... do we have to travel from there?" Rage reacted and wonders.
"It's going to be a long trip. Guangzhou is in the south from my home country. Guess that we have to take a plane to get there." Akira said in a calm manner. "Before we do that, It's better if we stay overnight then going back to my place."
"Yeah..." Both Rage and Retsu agreed with him as they continue to watch the fashion show and stays overnight at Yalong Bay.
