An hour later, school ends. Everyone was walking out the building still talking about what happened to Mr. Zenko earlier. Caleb was moving through the crowd with his school bag in hand. He was still annoyed at how Renamon managed to dodge his attack even though she couldn't see Shining Justice. He was walking down the sidewalk, when suddenly he hears Rika behind him.
Rika: Hey, wait up!
Caleb stops and looks back. He sees Rika jogging towards him. Rika finally catches up with Caleb and brings herself to a stop.
Caleb: Oh, hey. Rika, was it?
Rika: Yeah. I just want to say, thank you for saving my life.
Caleb: I didn't do it because I wanted to be praised. I only did it because what Mr. Zenko did was wrong. Someone needed to stop him. So please, don't thank me.
Rika: Oh, I see. Sorry for that.
Caleb puts his hand in his pocket.
Caleb: Come. Let's talk while we walk. My house isn't too far from here.
Rika: Okay.
Caleb and Rika continues to walk down the sidewalk together.
Rika: So... How did you do it?
Caleb: Do what?
Rika: You know... You sent Mr. Zenko flying across the room without even touching him.
Caleb: Oh, that.
Caleb takes a second to think.
Caleb: Well... It's kinda hard to explain. But, I kinda have something like a guardian spirit.
Rika: A guardian spirit?
Caleb: Yeah, something like that. It's been around ever since I was born. Nobody except other people with the same power can see it. It does stuff for me like when I need an extra hand or when I need to defend myself.
Renamon: Ah, so that what it was.
Caleb and Rika suddenly stopped after hearing Renamon's voice from nowhere. Suddenly, Renamon walk out from behind a tree with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. She opens her eyes, revealing her sharp blue eyes looking right at Caleb and Rika.
Rika: Oh hey Renamon.
Renamon walks up to Caleb and Rika.
Renamon: Did Okubo hurt you Rika?
Rika: No, he didn't. If it wasn't for Caleb, Mr. Zenko would've had his way with me.
Renamon: So you're the new transfer student everyone was talking about. I guess I still owe you for save Rika for me.
Renamon unfolds her arms and holds out out right hand to Caleb, waiting for a handshake.
Renamon: I'm Renamon by the way.
Caleb: ...
Caleb refuses the handshake and kept staring at Renamon with a cold expression on his face. Renamon lowers her hand.
Renamon: Okay then.
Caleb, Rika, and Renamon continued walking down sidewalk together. Rika was in between Caleb and Renamon.
Renamon: Your Japanese isn't half bad, Caleb. Did you taught yourself Japanese before you got here?
Caleb: ...
Caleb kept silent. He had his hat tilled down to where his eyes was hidden, but Renamon could tell he was looking directly at her.
Renamon: Okay then, next topic.
Rika had a bad feeling about this.
Renamon: I saw what you did to that student this morning. You made it look like you hit him yourself. But you actually used your "guardian spirit" to send him flying. You surprised me at first, but I saw through you trick.
Suddenly, Caleb shoved Rika aside with his left arm.
Rika: Wha--!?
Caleb summons out Shining Justice without calling its name. Shining Justice swings at Renamon with a right hook.
Shining Justice: DORA!!!!
Renamon barely dodges the attack at the last second. Shining Justice's attack misses and slams its fist into the tree near the sidewalk. Renamon lands in front of Rika.
Rika: Caleb, what are you doing!?
Caleb: How did dodge that attack!? There's no way you can see that attack coming unless you have a power like mine! So tell me, how was you able to dodge that attack!?
Caleb was furious towards Renamon.
Renamon: Look, I just simply sensed its energy and dodged at the right moment, now calm down!
Caleb: Not once in my life have I had a opponent that can avoid my punches. I'm not going to let someone like you outwit me!
Renamon: Maybe the reason you never missed an attack is because you can't find a worthy opponent, or it's because you've been avoiding stronger opponents because you're too afraid to lose.
Caleb: ...
Caleb and Renamon was back at staring each other dow, but this time it was personal.
Caleb: ...
Renamon: ...
Rika felt like any one of them might suddenly start attacking. Suddenly, Renamon saw something in the distance behind Caleb. A man wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans and black boots was sitting on a motorcycle with a bow and arrow in his hands. He has his hand on the bow's handle. He turns the bow horizontally and places the end the arrow on the bow's string. He pulls back on the string with the arrow in the tip of his fingers. He releases the string and lets the arrow fly towards Rika.
Renamon: Rika! Look out!
The arrow flies past Caleb. Renamon rams into Rika out of the way at the last second. The arrow struck through Renamon's back.
Rika: Renamon!!
Renamon falls to her knee. The arrow was sticking out of her stomach.
Caleb: The hell!?
Caleb turns around and saw the man who shot the arrow drive away on his motorcycle. Caleb turns back to Renamon and Rika. Rika was crouched next to Renamon, checking if she's alright. Suddenly, the arrow started pushing itself out of Renamon's body. Renamon yells in pain. The arrow fully pushes itself out of Renamon's stomach and drops to the ground. The arrow had a brown shaft and a golden arrowhead with a beetle design. Renamon covered the wound with her hand.
Rika: Renamon, are you okay!?
Renamon: Y-yeah... I'm fine...
Caleb looks down Renamon's back to see where the arrow struck.
Caleb: H-hey! The wound that the arrow left in your back! It's gone!
Rika looks up at Caleb.
Rika: What?
Renamon takes her hand off of the wound to see how bad the wound was.
Renamon: ...Huh?
The wound was gone. There wasn't even any blood on her hand nor stomach.
Rika: You're alright!
Renamon: Where did that biker go?
Caleb points down the road behind him.
Caleb: That way.
Renamon: Good. Let's go after him.
Caleb: How? He's probably long gone by now.
Renamon stands back up without any problems.
Renamon: I can catch up to him. I'm fast enough.
Caleb: How are we supposed to know where you're at?
Renamon: Just follow Rika. She'll know where to go.
With one giant leap, Renamon lands on a streetlight pole then leaps to another streetlight pole then a tree in a blink of an eye. She was gone faster than the eye can see.
Rika: Come on, let's go!
Rika gets a head start running in the direction where the biker and Renamon went. Caleb was left wondering how they're going to catch up to Renamon. Caleb stops thinking about it and hurries to catch up to Rika. Suddenly, Caleb heard another motorcycle behind him. He looks back and sees a biker wearing a similar outfit like the one who shot Renamon pick up the arrow off the ground and drives off. Caleb ignored the biker driving away and chases after Rika.
Renamon was leaping from building to building following the biker that shot her. She wasn't planning on attacking him right away. She was planning on following him till he stops at his house or hideout then attack him when he's not expecting it. Caleb and Rika was running down the street not knowing where Renamon or the biker is at.
Caleb: How the hell are we supposed to know where Renamon's at?
Rika: Hold on.
Rika reaches into her schoolbag and pulls what seems to be a blue and silver toy with a blue strap. Rika presses a button on it, and a small holographic screen comes out of the toy's screen. Caleb was amazed. The holographic screen showed a compass with a moving, blinking yellow dot. It showed where Renamon was at.
Rika: This way!
Rika crosses the road and down the street with Caleb following behind. Renamon chased the biker all the way to an abandoned warehouse near Morioh Port. The warehouse has two big metal garage doors and one door to the left. There's a rusty red shipping container in the middle of the parking lot. Renamon lands on a metal lamp post in front of the warehouse. There were fourteen motorbikes parked in front of the warehouse's entrance. The biker parks his motorbike next to the other motorbikes. He turns off the engine and gets off. He hurries through the warehouse entrance with the bow in hand.
Renamon: (A biker gang? It would be reckless to go barging in. I'll wait here and keep watch till Rika and Caleb gets here.)
Suddenly, Renamon saw another biker drive his motorbike next to the other bikes and parks it. He turns off the engine, hops off his bike and hurries through the entrance with the arrow that hit Renamon in his hand. Renamon looks down at her stomach to see if the wound was actually gone. There were no wounds nor blood. She continues scouting the area.
Eventually, Caleb and Rika finally catches up with Renamon. They found her still upon a metal lamp post. They were out of breath from running.
Renamon: There you are.
Caleb takes off his hat and wipes away the sweat off his forehead with his arm, then puts his hat back on.
Rika: Renamon, did you lost him?
Renamon: No.
Renamon points to the warehouse.
Renamon: He's in there. But it seems like he's part of a biker gang. I was waiting for you two so me and Caleb can go in since we're capable.
Caleb: How many people do you think are in there?
Renamon: Judging by the bikes out front, I'd say sixteen. Could be more.
Caleb: Alright, let's go get them.
Renamon: Rika, stay here and watch from a distance. We'll go handle the rest.
Rika: Okay. Be safe out there.
Renamon hops down from the lamp post. Caleb and Renamon advances towards the warehouse till Caleb steps in front of Renamon's way, blocking their path.
Caleb: Just so you know, we're not done with our little "talk". I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this because there's a biker gang randomly shooting people with a bow and arrow. They are dangerous and must be stopped. After we're done, I'm coming for you!
Caleb said with a menacing look.
Renamon: Very well. I'll be sure to be on my guard.
Caleb squints at Renamon one last time before turning around and continues to walk towards the warehouse with Renamon following behind. They got to the warehouse's empty parking lot, when Renamon suddenly stopped and looked around. She felt a presence nearby. Suddenly, two small black holes appears to Caleb's left and right side.
Renamon: Caleb, look out!
Two long metal chains came flying out of the black holes and wrapped themselves around Caleb's wrists.
Caleb: What the--?!
The chains pulled on Caleb's arms. Caleb tries to escape from the chains but they had a tight grip on him.
???: Heheh... Did the little fishy took the bait?
They heard a voice nearby. Suddenly, a menacing, shadowy figure walks out from behind the shipping container. The figure walks out of the shadow of the container and reveals himself.
It was a eighteen year old punk with dark blue pompadour hair. He has blue eyes with a scar above his left eye and a bandaid across his nose. He's wearing a black Japanese school jacket over his shoulders. His arms weren't inside the sleeves. He has a dark blue tank top with a skull and crossbones. A chain was hanging down from the jacket's collar. He has black school pants with a black belt and black shoes. He was walking towards Caleb with a shit-eating grin on his face.
???: What do you think you're here? You're trespassing on our turf, punk. Get lost!
Caleb: Pretty dumb of you to tell me to leave when you have me bound by chains.
???: A smart mouth are you? I'll put you in your place!
Suddenly, a menacing spirit appears behind the enemy. It has pitch black skin and had stitches all over its body. It had a black torn hood over its head, hiding its facial features. Two red glowing eyes can be seen hiding in the pitch black under the hood. It has torn black pants and no footwear. It has rusty chains wrapped around its arms and waist.
???: Get ready to feel the power of Road Warrior!!
The enemy ordered Road Warrior to attack Caleb. Road Warrior charges at Caleb at full speed. Caleb was calm. Road Warrior was close to punching Caleb, till Shining Justice quickly appears and hits Road Warrior with a kick to the face. Road Warrior and the enemy both staggers back. A little bit of blood came spewing out of the enemy's mouth.
Caleb: Heh! Guess you really are dumb! Haven't you noticed my feet are still free?!
Shining Justice: DORAA!!!
Shining Justice kicks Road Warrior in the face once again, sending it and its user flying. Shining Justice grabs the chains holding Caleb in place and pulls on them with great power. The chains break and evaporates. The two small black holes vanishes. The enemy falls to the hard concrete ground on his back. Renamon was looking at Shining Justice.
Renamon: A Justimon!
Caleb looks at Renamon.
Caleb: Huh?
Renamon: A Justimon! It just appeared right next to you!
Caleb: Oh no, that's Shining Just--
Caleb: W-wait, you can see it!?!
Renamon: Yeah! I could only sense its energy last time, but now I can see it so clearly!
???: You're a Stand user too?!
Caleb and Renamon looks back at the enemy. The enemy was getting back up. He wipes the blood off his lip.
Caleb: A Stand? Is that what you call them?
???: That's what it's called, idiot! And as for you fox-lady, one of the boys said he shot a yellow creature with the arrow. I'm assuming that's you, right? Show me your Stand. We've been looking for a worthy Stand for a while.
Renamon: I am unaware of this "Stand" you're referring to. What was that arrow and what did it do to me?
???: That's none of your business! Now bring out your Stand, or I'll beat it out of ya!
Renamon: Try me then!
???: You asked for it!
The enemy started stomping towards Renamon till Caleb stopped him.
Caleb: Hold on! Maybe we can work something out. If she shows you this "Stand", then you'll have to let us inside. Deal?
???: Hmm...
???: Okay, deal! But if you don't show it to me in the next ten seconds, I'll beat you both into a bloody pulp!
Caleb: Alright, we'll be quick.
Caleb turns to Renamon and whispers.
Caleb: Alright, this is our chance! Just bring out this "Stand" and--
Renamon: Hold on! You can't expect me to now everything off the bat!
???: I'm waiting.
Caleb: Ugh... Alright fine, I'll teach you. Honestly, I don't exactly know the full details, but you have to summon it consciously.
Renamon: Consciously, hm? Easy enough.
Renamon closes her eyes. The enemy was getting impatient.
Renamon: ...
Renamon was concentrating on summoning her Stand. Time was running out. Renamon opens her eyes.
Renamon: I can't do it.
Caleb: What!? Why!?
Renamon: I do not know, but I can't bring it out.
???: I can't believe you wasted my time after all that...
Time was up.
???: Do you know how pissed I get when I'm expecting something to happen but then I get let down after waiting?! I get mad...
???: REALLY, mad!!
The enemy Stand user summons Road Warrior. It was standing behind him menacingly. Road Warrior was holding a long, dangling chain in it's right hand.
???: Now...
Road Warrior winds up the chain back like a whip and aimed at Caleb and Renamon.
???: DIE!!
Road Warrior throws the other end of the chain towards Caleb like a whip. Caleb remained calm. The chain was about to hit Caleb till Shining Justice appeared in front of him and grabbed the chain in the blink of an eye.
???: What?! I-it's faster than I expected!
Shining Justice yanked on the chain hard, causing Road Warrior and its user to go flying towards Shining Justice.
Shining Justice: DORA!!!
Shining Justice hits Road Warrior in the face with a quick jab, causing damage to its user as well. Road Warrior and its user was sent flying. Shining Justice still had the chain wrapped around its fist.
Caleb: Heh! I'm goning to beat you down by using you as a paddle ball!
Shining Justice yanks on the chain again, causing the enemy and his Stand to come flying back to Shining Justice.
Shining Justice: DORA!!!
Shining Justice lands another hit to Road Warrior's face, sending them flying away again. Shining Justice yanks on the chain again, bringing the user back to it.
Shining Justice: DORA!!!
Shining Justice sends the enemy flying again. It yanks the chain again and readies for one last attack. The enemy and his Stand was flying back towards back Shining Justice.
Shining Justice: DORAAA!!!
Shining Justice delivers a devastating upper cut to Road Warrior's jaw. The enemy was sent flying upwards. The chain brakes and disintegrates in Shining Justice's hand. The enemy lands on the back of his head and his Stand vanishes. The enemy was bloody and brushed.
Caleb: You done yet? You can submit if you want, but we still need to get in there.
The enemy slowly gets back up jaggedly.
Caleb: You know, it's easy to get you in closer with your chain whips. Anybody could've grabbed it and beaten your ass.
???: You... You idiot...! Do you really think I don't have a way to counter that?!
The enemy summons Road Warrior to his side again. Road Warrior cracks its chain like a whip and throws the end of the chain at Caleb. Shining Justice catches the chain again and had the chain wrapped around its right wrist.
Caleb: Seriously? Now you're just asking for another beat down!
???: Now, Road Warrior!
Road Warrior's fists started glowing red with heat. The heat was going through the chains that Shining Justice was holding. The heat reached the other end of the chain and started burning Shining Justice and Caleb wrists. Caleb was yelling in pain.
Caleb: S-shit!! It burns like hell!!!
Even though the chains were burning his skin, Shining Justice did not go. Caleb was kneeling on the ground with his hands closed to a fist tightly.
Renamon: Caleb, let go of the chain!
Caleb: N-no! I c-can take this!
The skin on his right wrist was burning under his sleeve.
Renamon: Let go of it now!
Caleb refuses to let go of the chain.
???: Hah! And you called me dumb?! The heat in the chain's burning through your skin and chose not to let go? Just how stupid are you?!
Caleb: N-no. I'm not stupid...
Shining Justice suddenly wraps the chain around its hand and holds it tightly. Now his right hand was burning. It caught both Renamon and the enemy by surprise. Caleb looks up at the enemy.
Caleb: I'm just determined to win!
Shining Justice yanks on the chain with all of its strength one last time. The enemy and his Stand was sent hurling towards Shining Justice.
Caleb: Lay it on 'em, Shining Justice!
Shining Justice throws a barrage of punches at 190mph as soon as the enemy got in its range.
Shining Justice: DORARARARARARARARARA!!!
Shining Justice winds back its left arm for one last punch.
Shining Justice: DORRAAA!!!
Shining Justice delivered the finishing blow to the enemy's face and sent him crashing into the shipping container.
Renamon: You got him!
Caleb calls back Shining Justice. He had his left hand over his right wrist. He was in alot of pain. Renamon walks over to him and kneels next to him.
Renamon: Here, let me see your injuries.
Even though Caleb didn't fully trust Renamon, he pulls back his right sleeve and reveals a third-degree burn around his wrist and hand.
Renamon: Damn. He got you good.
Renamon attempts to hold Caleb's right arm up to get a closer look at. Caleb jolts his arm back.
Caleb: OW!! Hey, don't touch it!
Renamon: Don't be such a baby.
Suddenly, they heard movement in front of them. They looked up and saw the enemy Stand user crawling out of the shipping container. He was injured and had blood all over him. Caleb and Renamon gets back up on their feet.
Caleb: You're still up?! I could've sworn that punch knocked you out!
The enemy gets out of the shipping container and stand back up jaggedly.
???: Well t-that's the thing both you and I s-share... We're both d-determined to w-win... S-so I'll fight you as long a-as I can to win...
Renamon: Don't. You shouldn't be moving around with those injuries.
???: Shut up! I don't take orders from a bitch like you!
The enemy Stand user summons Road Warrior to his side.
???: I'll just kill you both!!
Caleb: Shit, here he comes again!
Caleb summons Shining Justice to his side for battle. The enemy was about to approach Caleb and Renamon, until they heard a male voice out of nowhere.
???#2: Brother...
Everyone stops dead still and looks at where the voice was coming from. They saw a small black wormhole similar to the ones that appeared next to Caleb hovering in midair.
???: B-bro..? What are you doing? I've got this under contr--
???#2: Not from what I'm seeing.
???: Just give me a little more time and I'll have them taken care of!
???#2: You're too wounded to fight. Just let them go already.
The enemy goes silent and looks back at Caleb and Renamon.
He then looks back at the black hole.
???: Alright fine. I'll retreat back inside and have you patch me up.
???#2: ...
???#2: That won't be necessary...
???: What..?
Suddenly, the barrel of a pistol sticks out of the black hole. It was pointing straight at the enemy. Caleb, Renamon, and the enemy was caught by surprise.
???: Whoa!! Bro, what are you doing?! The trespassers are over there!
???#2: I know. I'm sorry brother, but we have no medical supplies to treat your wounds. So I'm afraid I'm going to have to put you down. I have no use for someone that's injured.
???#2: I'm sorry brother, forgive me.
???: Don't do it!!
The hand on the other side of the black hole pulls the trigger. With a loud bang, a bullet flies out of the pistol's barrel. Without thinking, Caleb quickly tackles the Stand user to get him out of the way, but the bullet was about to hit Caleb. Shining Justice suddenly appears and deflected the bullet with its left wrist, leaving a scratch on Caleb's wrist. Caleb and the Stand user falls down on the concrete ground. The pistol goes back into the black hole, then the hole closes and vanishes out of thin air. Renamon runs over to them to see if they're alright.
Renamon: Are you two alright?
Caleb: Yeah, we're fine.
Both Caleb and the Stand user sits back up.
???: You... You saved me...
Caleb: Of course I did idiot. What would you expect?
Renamon: Stay here, I'll be right back.
Within two leaps to a lamp post and a tree, Renamon vanishes. Caleb and the Stand user was left sitting on the concrete ground.
???: Why?
Caleb: Why what?
???: Why did you save me?
Caleb: He was trying to kill you. I wasn't just going to stand around and let that happen.
???: But I tried to kill you!
Caleb: I believe everyone deserves a second chance, even you.
They both went quiet. Suddenly, Renamon reappears with two first aid kits in hand.
Renamon: I'm back.
Caleb: That was quick.
Renamon: I had to "borrow" these from a hospital nearby.
Caleb: Well that's not very responsible of you.
Moments later, Renamon got finished patching up Caleb's burns with bandages. She even patched up the Stand user's wounds.
Renamon: There.
Caleb moves his right arm around a bit.
Caleb: Alright, good.
Caleb stands up.
Caleb: Okay, now let's go finish what we started.
Renamon: Right.
Caleb and Renamon started walking towards the front entrance to the warehouse. The Stand user saw them walking towards the door and stands up.
???: Hey, where do you're going?!
Caleb and Renamon stops and looks back at him.
Caleb: We're going to teach them a lesson and take away that bow and arrow away from them. Got a problem with it?
The Stand user went silent.
Caleb: Alright then. Stay out of it, would you?
Caleb and Renamon continued walking towards the door.
???: Wait!
Caleb and Renamon stopped and looked back him again.
???: I know I tried to kill you and all, but if you're really going in there, could you do me a favor?
Caleb and Renamon looked at each other, questioning if they should trust him. They looked back at him.
Caleb: Okay, what is it?
???: Could you spare them their lives like you did mine. Please, they're like family to me.
Caleb: ...
???: S-sorry for asking.
Caleb: No, it's alright. I'll spare them for you. I mean I wasn't planning on killing them in the first place. But yeah, I can do that for you.
???: Thank you.
Caleb and Renamon continued walking towards the door. Renamon opened the door, then peaked inside to see if anyone was waiting at the door.
Renamon: It's clear. Let's move.
Renamon entered through the door first. The Stand user turned around and started walking away with his hands in his pockets. He decided to stay out of their way.
Caleb: Hey!
The Stand user heard Caleb call him and turned to look at him. Caleb was in the doorway looking at him.
Caleb: What's your name?
???: Huh..?
Caleb: I'm asking for your name.
???: W-why do you need know my name?
Caleb: Because...
Caleb gives a warm smile to the Stand user.
Caleb: I can tell we're going to get along just fine.
The Stand user was surprised. Why is a guy that he just tried to kill suddenly want to be friends?
Caleb: Well?
???: O-oh, right.
Rjay: My name is Rjay. Rjay Pickering.
Caleb: Rjay... Alright, thanks for telling me.
Caleb turns around and was about to enter the warehouse till he stopped and looked back at Rjay.
Caleb: Oh, and Rjay?
Rjay: Yeah?
Caleb: Your Stand... It's really kinda cool actually. Keep it up.
Caleb gives a thumbs up to Rjay.
Rjay: D-dude...
Caleb lowers his hand and enters the warehouse with the door shutting behind him.
