"So this is Kyoto huh?" Gray asked
"Looks like it" Zen said
"So you're going to meet up with him huh?" Setsuna asked
"Yeah, we planned for this when we were in Alnus" Gray said
"We?" Izuku asked
"A couple of us" Gray said "I'll look him when we hit town"
"Okay" Edward said
"Too bad the others had to go to Akihabara" Mina said
"Not too bad for them" Zen said
"Yeah I bet some of the guys are going to enjoy it there" Gray said
Sayaka was with her school on a trip, but she had gotten lost. She was now on a bench waiting for her friends to find her.
"Hey cutie" a sleazy looking guy said as he and his friends were walking up to her "Maybe we could have some fun, you know maybe show you the city"
"No thank you, I'm waiting for a friend" Sayaka said
"Oh don't worry we'll be back before your friend's arrive" he said grabbing Sayaka said
"I said no" Sayaka struggled
"Well too bad " the man said
"Let her go" a deep voice said
"What of Itttttttttt!" he said before being thrown a meter into the rubbish
"Anybody else?" the owner of the voice asked making the man's friends bolt. Sayaka was still a little shook up
"Thank you" she said looking up to see a man roughly 7 foot tall. She was a bit gobsmacked
"Are you okay?" the giant said
"HEY!" a voice Sayaka recognise shouted before Gray rushed in and tried to punch the giant, who deflected it and sent a punch back only for Gray to dodge it and try another punch which was caught by the giant, only to be let go and the pair laughed
"Yatsu!" gray cheered
"Gray, its good to see you" Yatsu
"Guys!" Izuku said as the others ran over
"Izuku, Setsuna, Mina, Edward, Tatsumi, Zen, Inori and Souma. Good to see you again" Yatsu said
"Hey bro" Mina said hugging the giant
"I'm lost" Sayaka said
"Sayaka?" Izuku asked "What are you doing here?"
"School trip, you" Sayaka said
"Same" Izuku said
"So you knwo this charming young lady?" Yatsuhashi asked
"Oh right sorry; Sayaka this is the oldest of our family Yatsuhashi Amaha." Izuku said "And this is my beautiful girlfriend Sayaka Miyata"
"Miyata, any relation to the owners of the Miyata Dojo?" Yatsuhashi asked
"Yeah, I am. My dad is not happy with me" Sayaka said
"Why?" Izuku asked taking her hand
"Because I switched to Keijo from Judo" Sayaka said "He was actually training me for the Olympics"
"Why can't you do both?" Yatsuhashi asked
"Meaning what exactly" Sayaka said
"You will find out in time" Yatsuhashi said "Now I don't live far from here so why don't you come and have a quick cup of tea and then I'll get you back to yoru school groups"
"Sounds great we have a lot to catch up on" Gray said
"So how's mum doing?" Yatsuhashi asked
"She's back in the Air Force" Gray said
"Capt Masane Amaha" Zen said
"I thought she was discharged so she could look after all of us" Yatsuhashi said confused
"Its been a recent development, probably in the last six months or so" Gray said
"So it's been what like 4 years since you headed over here" Souma said
"Indeed, it has been interesting to say the least
"Yatsu? Are you home sweetheart?" a voice called
"I'm in here, we have some guests" Yatsuhashi said as a woman with pale blue hair, porcelain skin and amethyst eyes walked in
"Oh hello, I'm Lan" the woman said
"Hey Lan" the siblings said
"I'm Gray and these are Zen, Mina, Setsuna, Souma, Tatsumi, Edward, Izuku and Inori, We're Yatsu's siblings"
"And I'm Sayaka; Izuku's girlfriend" Sayaka bowed
"Very nice to meet you, as I said earlier I'm Lan, Yatsuhashi's wife" she smiled
"Come again?" Zen asked
"When did this happen?" Edward asked shocked
"Two years ago" Lan said sitting down next to Yatsuhashi
"And you never told us?" Inori asked
"We wanted it to be a private wedding, just the two of us. Yatsu tried and convinced me to invite a small group of friends and family. But I decided against it, I'm truly sorry" Lan bowing
"NO harm done, just don't surprise like that" Gray said
"He is right" Yatsuhashi said smiling "But why did you all come to seek me out?" Yatsu asked
"We nearly lost one of our own" Inori said
"What happened?" Yatsu asked
"Nagisa...he nearly died" Zen said
"What, is he?" Yatsu asked
"He's alright and doing fine. In fact he's in Akihabara with the others" Setsuna smiled
"Our high school spilt out year levels for this trip" Zen said
"Ah I see" Yatsuhashi said
"Now where are they, I know they are here, and I will get them" Lazerbeak said as he flew over Kyoto "I will not be made a mockery of again!" he snarled as he remembered the times he was beaten into scrap and rust. Those humans would finally feel his wrath, but he had orders to fulfil; but maybe as a reward he could ask Megatron for some time with their objectives. This thought made the Cybertronian condor smirk as he flew around. An eagle eyed student noticed him
"A transformer?" Mami asked concerned
"Madam President?" Soji asked
"Yes?" Mami said
"You alright?" Soji asked
"Yeah, I just saw something...concerning" Mami frowned "Now, where are the Amaha siblings?"
"I think they said something about a brother they haven't seen in awhile" Shirayuki said walking over
"A brother?" Mami blinked
"Thanks for the tea" Gray said as they got up and got ready to head out
"Well I better head out as well" Lan said
"Okay, I'll see you tonight"
"So Lan, what do you do?"
"I work in one of the nearest hotels" Lan said "In fact I think it's the same you guys are booked into"
"Sweet" Zen said
"Well, shall we?" Lan asked
"Not me, I'm the other way" Sayaka said.
"Okay, see you later" Izuku said kissing her.
"There you are" Mami said
"Everything okay?" Gray asked confused
"Not really" Mami said leading him off to the side "I saw some sort of Transformer before"
"What do you mean?"
"It was a bird; but it had a Transformer look to it
"Shit, Lazerbeak" Gray said
"Do you know him?" Mami asked concerned
"We've dealt with Birdbrain before. But why he's here I'm not sure" Gray said
"What's wrong?" Zen asked as he walked over with Mina
"Lazerbeak" Gray said
"Not Featherass again, why doesn't he take a hint?" Zen asked
"So what's the plan?" Mina asked
"Stop the pecker" Gray said
"That might be easier said than done" Mina said
"I think we better ask Nagisa, to see if we can borrow the gauntlet" Zen said
"Oh man this is exhausting" Nagisa said as he flopped back on a lounge
"Tired already?" Weiss asked
"You know it" Nagisa said
"Pretty, well I suppose you can rest up before we go shopping tomorrow" Weiss aid
"Gee thanks" Nagisa growled
"Maybe I might get a cute maid outfit" Weiss said
"Why?" Nagisa asked
"So I can wear it for him- hime cosplay month
"You said him" Nagisa smirked
"I didn't" Weiss argued
"So who is he?" Nagisa asked
"No one" Weiss said
"Who's who?" Shiro asked
"Weis has a boyfriend" Nagisa smirked
"Okay, so who is here?" Shiro said
"I don't have one!" Weiss shouted
"Taki Tachibana" Blake said landing on the lounge next to Nagisa with a light novel in her hands
"BLAKE!" Weiss shrieked
"Tachibana?" Shiro asked "The student council treasurer?"
"Yes" Weiss groaned before Nagisa laughed "Oh shut up!"
"I probably should" Nagisa laughed before his phone rang "Hey Mina what's up?"
"We need to borrow your gauntlet" Mina said
"Any particular reason?" Nagisa asked
"We've got a con problem here" Mina said
"Which one?" Nagisa asked
"Lazerbeak" Mina said
"Sure hang on" Nagisa said "Should be there now"
"Yeah I got it" Mina said as the gauntlet was now on her wrist "Thanks bro"
"No problem, stay on guard" Nagisa said
"Roger that" Mina said as she hung up and walked inside. She nodded to Gray to show that she now had it
"Good, let's get hunting" Gray said
"Firing it up now"
"Decepticon detected" the gauntlet said
"Where?" Gray asked
"Right here" Lazerbeak said as he descended at the group. Acting quickly Mina threw up the shield forcing Lazerbeak to change his heading, which was behind them
"On your six" Zen said making Mina turn around just in time to see the bird Decepticon dive again. Mina then held her arm up at the bird, shooting a bolt of energon at the bird making him steer away and circle around
"Gray" Mina said throwing Gray the gauntlet, who then took aim and fired three burst volleys at the Decepticon who got hit by all three. Gray then threw the gauntlet to Setsuna who accessed the sword mode and attacked. Lazerbeak dived again, at which point Setsuna used the sword to strike the bird. Making a long slash appear on the stomach of the bird. Setsuna then jumped into the air and sliced a wing off before passing the Gauntlet back to Mina, who shot at Lazerbeak again and further crippled him
"You'll pay for this!" Lazerbeak said as a Gate opened up and Lazerbeak limped to the gate, but Mina got in one final shot sending him further the gate, before it closed and another opened to retrieve Lazerbeak's wing
"He'll be back" Gray said
"And we'll be ready for them" Zen said
"But I have a bad feeling about what they are planning"
"About who are planning?" Yatsuhashi said
"Yatsu?" Gray asked "What are you doing here?"
"I came because of the Transformer attacking"
"How did you know about that?" Edward asked
"I haven't entirely honest with you, not only to I work in the hotel, but I'm an agent of NEST, I work at the Kyoto branch with Yatsuhashi here" Lan said
"You know about the transformers and NEST!" Gray asked
"I do, but how did you know about them?" Yatsuhashi asked
"They're the ones who asked back into active duty" Zen said
"And the accident Nagisa nearly had happened on the other side of the Gate thanks to a sub faction of Transformers there called Predacons" Gray explained
"Not to mention we've faced Lazerbeak for the third time just then" Izuku said
"Not like he could have beaten us anyway" Edward said
"Don't be getting too cocky now Ed, they're crafty. Why do you think they're called Decepticons" Yatsuhashi said
"I don't know" Edward shrugged
"Like the Autobots mean Autonomous Robotics, the Decepticons mean Deceptive Constructs. Meaning that they will attack you from behind"
"But I thought that they chose those names" Mina said
"That may be the case, but that doesn't mean we can relax at all, got it?" Yatsu asked
"Got it" the others said
"DAMN BRATS!" Lazerbeak squawked
"Pipe down, its already hard enough trying to reattach this wing of yours" Knockout said as he was fixing Lazerbeak
"I'll kill them and then skin them" the bird transformer said
"Now, now you know what Lord Megatron has in store" Knockout said
"But does it have to include those humans?" Lazerbeak asked
"You know it does, and thanks to them we have enough information to proceed with the plan" Knockout chukcled
"Good" Lazerbeak huffed.
"In fact the humans are about to perfomr their part tonight" Knockout laughed.
That night while Japan slept, several agents of MECH were creeping around, they had used an invisible sleeping gas in their target areas. Their targets; the lovers of the Amaha siblings; the hardest to get would have been Alibaba, but he was out in a patrol and was captured by Erza. Shinji led a squad to retrieve Matt, Oscar, Taki, Kagura, Hinano, Ayano and Rinka's love interest. Junko was dispatched to capture Mami, Shirayuki, Soji, Mine and Jaden. Other squads were deployed to capture the rest. And by dawn the next day MECH and the Decepticons had twenty prisoners that they could use for bait. Also MECH had set up some other equipment
"That was way too easy" Junko said
"I'll say" Shinji arrogantly said
"Enough talk, we have to get ready" Erza said
"For what?" Junko asked
"Victory over NEST and the Autobots" Erza laughed.
G'day guys Grizz here and that was the introduction of the oldest Amaha brother Yatsuhashi and his wife Lan. Plus I'm also kicking off the end game which will be chapters 26-30 with that last paragraph. Yes that is why I staged the breakout scene so I could use them again in this situation and plan. So it will be full throttle from now until the end. Which is kind of bittersweet for me since this is a series I enjoy writing, but its been going on for six months now. But I planned it to be 30, so 30 it is going to be.
So until next I'll catch you on the flipside
