Things started with John, nobody who really knew him dared to address him by that name, they knew better. He was Giovanni, Don Giovanni, the man behind the scenes, the secret powerhouse behind the entire Kurow fiasco, and he sought to take revenge for the failure of his minions. But who would have thought that this quiet natured, seemingly innocent young man was one of, if not the most powerful component of the student body fighting force. One person who thought so was Alec. He didn't know exactly how to prove it yet, but he knew that somehow there must be a way to stop this man from maintaining his vice-like hold over the public. But maybe we've gotten ahead of ourselves just bit. Let me introduce the scenario: Alec and Mark had infiltrated the lair of John with help from the rather weak George, who was consequently punished for his incompetence. Now the two of them sat face to face with a man they only knew as Don Giovanni, he had an obviously unnatural power and had threatened them to either join him or suffer a similar fate as George. So what would they do? Mark took it from here, "Hey, look, Mr. Giovanni-" "Don Giovanni," interrupted a well-built blonde haired boy who had remained in the shadows unnoticed until now, "His name is Don Giovanni." He corrected while stepping forward. "Right," Mark continued seemingly unfazed by the interruption, "See we must have obviously not had the proper introduction or something." He paused and glanced at Alec quickly, hoping he got the picture to follow his lead. "We are by no means trying to challenge or oppose you." He paused again this time looking for approval from the tall boy before him. "Continue" Don Giovanni said as he nodded. Alec noticed how his very tone of voice was so calm yet so direct. "Well, me and my esteemed colleague Alec here were simply looking into a matter for a friend of ours, that's who you really want to speak to about any business. Now I understand you're a busy man and all, so we'll let you get back to doing what you do and just send our friend over tomorrow. Okay? Okay!" He began to get up when he felt the blonde boy's muscular arms pushing him down forcefully. He glanced up over his shoulder at the stern faced brute. He had a white headband that matched his white pants but somehow didn't seem to fit with his deep red blazer. Still, his mean demeanor and lip ring gave him the general look of a no nonsense enforcer that Mark didn't want to mess with. He laughed nervously "Hehe, you must think this is so crazy and all, us ending up in here like this and all.I bet you think we were trying to track you down or something." Mark cursed himself inwardly, his nervous laughter had given him away, there seemed to be no peaceful exit through smooth talking and false trust. "Giovanni has given you a choice gentlemen," Frank reminded, "Now will you join our ranks or do you not?" "Well", Alec said, "This is seriously a highly important decision with numerous repercussions to consider obviously" he turned to Mark nodding with an intent glare in his eye. Mark shifted his weight in his seat readying himself for the next unexpected sequence of events. What was Alec thinking? "I mean such a weighted decision, should obviously require some time for us to think it over." continued Alec, still giving smooth talking one final chance at getting them out. Giovanni leaned over even further on the desk, his face inches away from them "What is there to think over? You either live or die." Alec sighed heavily and slumped his head down for a moment before looking up at Giovanni then back at Mark winking indiscreetly. He arose quickly while exclaiming "Hey, I sure as hell don't want to die, Its going to be a pleasure working with you Mr. Giovanni." He outstretched his hand and Don Giovanni shook it cautiously but firmly. Alec then turned towards the blonde boy in the blazer, "As well as you too.?" His voice trailed off in a questioning higher pitch. "Frank" he said calmly as he took Alec's outstretched hand. "Frank!" Alec said shaking vigorously, his voice high pitch and surprised sounding. The prolonged shaking became a little awkward and Alec glared down at the still seated Mark and said, "Isn't that a nice name?" A little late with the cue, Mark finally got the hint and launched a Touchdown Wave attack that smashed the table in front of Don Giovanni and would have decimated him as well if he hadn't expertly dodged the attack as well as the flying splinters. Alec took Frank's half second of diverted attention to switch the handshake into a close throw hold and invert Frank's body setting up for a powerful move. He jumped up high in the office with his head nearly reaching the ceiling and he sailed down spinning rapidly with great speed. "Damn! I can't believe I fell for their shit; Giovanni's sure going to roast me for slipping up like this. I had better make up for it as soon as this punk finished his move." Frank thought to himself, and the finish of the move came soon with a huge rumbling impact that sent the pictures on the wall off tilt as Alec nearly implanted Frank's body into the ground. As he stepped back from the impact zone, he was feeling quite confident in himself and his abilities until he looked over and saw how quickly Frank rose and how angered he seemed to be. Alec immediately launched a barrage of punches and seemed to sway Frank back as they impacted, but Frank charged forward slamming his fist down in an overhead smash that trailed fire. Alec's hits were seemingly futile as Frank's Counter thrust attack connected hard sending the boy falling back. Alec flipped back up on one hand expertly, convinced that he would still be victorious yet, however, when he was back on his feet he found Frank inches away from him midway into throwing a shoulder, yet Alec was still able to block and prepared to counter but Frank ducked at the last second. Getting ready to launch his own series of attacks Alec held his arms back preparing to strike a guts bullet attack, but to his dismay Frank shot up a double fisted club-like swing from his crouched position sending him soaring into the air. Frank leapt up expertly and wailed a punch, punch, kick combo on the helpless Alec then unleashed his Super Skull Aura Burning Vigor attack; a rather large wave of purple energy shot out from his palm. Alec was devastated by the impact and went rocketing down to the ground by the window where he skidded to a stop. Mark looked on slack jawed at the entire fight sequence, for someone of such size Frank was indeed fast and good with his hands, yet his strength was definitely not sacrificed for speed. He was almost too caught up in the moment to see another person enter the scene behind Giovanni who now stood to the side of the desk debris and facing Alec. But Mark did notice her, she was wearing a pinkish white skirt and a red blazer exactly the same as Frank's except with a girls figure intended. She said not a word but bowed for a second charging up energy then shot it forward from her hands in a wave identical to Kyosuke's cross cutter attack. As the energy sailed past Giovanni and towards the slowly rising Alec, Mark was quick to react, gliding down into a duck and roll that sent him over to Alec just in the nick of time. He grabbed his friend quickly while still in motion and used their combined momentum to break through the window and escape outside. The escape wasn't too grand, however, they fell a good ten feet before they hit the gravel below with a considerably painful impact. But they were alive at least, but that was just for the moment. Mark got on his feet first and helped Alec up, through his dusty shades he could make out Thelma headed their way at full speed, and directly behind her the same girl that threw the cross cutter. "Damn, how fast are these people?!" He wondered aloud. "No time for that, let's go Alec!" he yelled, and the two of them took off for his parked car. Alec glanced back and saw their assailants gaining on them rapidly, at this rate they may not make it to the car; maybe he could stop and make a stand he thought momentarily. But then his aching side reminded him of the last stand he had made when he was still inside fighting Frank; he couldn't believe how incredibly talented and strong he was, they were clearly outmatched in this case. They both reached the car in the nick of time; no sooner than they had closed the doors was Thelma's foot slamming down on the windshield sending spider web cracks along its surface. Mark revved the engine and hit the gas taking off with a screeching roar and left behind the smell of burning rubber. It was only until they were a good 5 blocks away from Pacific High that they let out a sigh of relief. Kurow entered the room and bowed slightly before the boy in the red school uniform. "They.have escaped, sir" Giovanni replied "Very well then, they don't know anything of our endeavors; they pose no threat. But if they should reappear, be sure that you have them eliminated" "That I will do without hesitation, sir." Assured Kurow and then turned and walked out the room. He smiled in anticipation of malice; he liked to hurt things, especially people and John let him do that. John is what everyone on the outside called him, its what his alias was, but Kurow knew better than to call him that to his face. He resented having to work for him at times, he hated the very idea of anyone being more powerful than he, nothing would stop him from someday ruling Japan, not even his own sister whose mind he had controlled for so long. Yet his powers could not seal Giovanni's mind, it lead Kurow to wonder, did he possess the same insane power of Hyo? Or was there some uncanny telepathic ability that he kept secret? Whatever it was, Kurow wasn't able to penetrate his mind and seeing his demeanor he couldn't help but wonder at times if the boy was even human. Halfway across town similar thoughts haunted Alec's mind as he sat in Mark's passenger side seat. "I can't believe that mess!" the flustered Alec exclaimed. "How in the hell did that guy get so strong and so fast?! I mean I threw some of my best punched at him and he went through with his attack as if it were nothing!" "The Touchdown Wave is my fastest attack, how did Giovanni dodge that as well as the flying shards of wood that were sent at him.I've never seen anyone move like that, and I've seen some fights in my day." Mark added. "Yah," Alec chimed in, "I can't imagine guys like this exist in our schools aside from Batsu and Kyosuke and the rest, but somehow there has been a significant development of unknown warriors, we're definitely going to have to step this up and get some help. "Yeah, I definitely want to find out how the hell this guy goes to my school and I've never even heard of him." Mark decided. "But first I got to fix up my car, you just tend to your wounds and I'll be in touch." With that Alec left and went inside his house.
