Groans came from the mouth of Tiger Mask as he slowly opened his eyes being greeted only by darkness and silence he tried to get up but was bounded down in a seated position of some sort he tried to move but whatever it is he was seated upon did even make a shrieking sound "Tiger are you there?" asked the voice of Mammy.

"Mammy where are you?" Tiger asked.

"It seems they have woken up" spoke an unfamiliar voice.

"Good remove their bags" ordered another unfamiliar voice.

Tiger was allowed to breathe again shaking his head he quickly glanced to where Mammy's voice came from and was greeted by her being bound to a chair, he tried to move in but was reminded he too was bounded "Relax you're safe" spoke the second unfamiliar voice Tiger's eyes widened seeing many men in their late teens and early adulthood all wearing a futuristic military uniform. The one that spoke to him had short brown hair and blue eyes he must either be in his late teens or early adulthood both Mammy and Tiger thought along with having a strong build beneath that armour.

"Who are you and where did you take us?" Tiger demanded.

"My name is John and we know your innocent" the leading boy said in a solemn voice.

"I appreciate this but-"

"Do you have any idea what are you doing to us?" Mammy cried out cutting her client.

"We're protecting you" answered a female.

"From who?" Tiger asked in a serious tone.

"From Kazuya Mishima, he's the one behind that devil masked woman" answered John "And he had recently joined forces with that man they call Mr. X and the rest of Tiger den."

Tiger's eyes widened "What are you spouting?"

"Mr. X is dead he died in captivity" Mammy spoke backing her client.

John simply sighed as he took a gulp of alcohol before setting it down.

Haruna's apartment

The young ace of Girmov stood their stoked listening to the news hearing the story "In the late afternoon an armoured vehicle drove right into the police station and many unidentified individuals came out wearing military uniforms" the picture shown was a blurry one showing the criminals in question "An engagement of combat happened between our cities brave defenders and the criminals which resulted in utter devastation and loss of lives" the video showed many bodies being covered in cloths and some injured being treated "If that wasn't enough during the commotion one of the criminals broke into the prison cells and kidnapped both Tiger Mask W and his manager Mammy" a picture was shown where the duo were held showing the broken cell bars "Now we go to live over to you Jimmy Firecracker."

"Thank you Maya as you can see theirs utter devastation all around this centre where people are supposed to be feeling safe" the reporter spoke with seriousness "I would like to give you word from the chief."

Jimmy approached the chief police officer who had a harness around his arm as he spoke "People please calm down we may had suffered losses today but we will never rest not until these men are captured and trailed for their crimes."

"Thank you chief and now off to our eye in the sky" Jimmy stated.

Again the camera switched making the sound of a helicopter "Thank you Jimmy as you can see down there is the vehicle used by the monsters that terrorized our citizens abandoned on the side of the road the JSDF had already salvaged the vehicle but nothing of worth in it."

The camera cut back to the studio "Things keep getting more troubling regarding former Wrestling star Tiger Mask he's already on the fence of joining the dark side-"

Haruna managed to turn off the tv as she fell in a fetial position and cried out into the night.

Next morning the Park

"Hyaa!" Kenichi cried out as he was picking up garbage and putting it inside the bag with a defeated sigh "How is this training?" he complained, on last Friday which the incident happened the brown haired teen of the Judo club went to the dojo which the Furiniji cousins told him about and well the experience was a horrible one all the masters are nuts and cruel however they did agree to train him and here he was picking trash in the park "Damn it the fight is tomorrow and I haven't learned a single move!"

"Kenichi" a voice called out softly bringing his attention seeing Miu.

"Miu did I disturb you?" he asked fearfully.

"No not at all" Miu answered this made the boy sigh in relief and return to picking the trash solemnly and depressingly "Are you okay?"

"No the fight is tomorrow and I can't do anything" the boy admitted solemnly.

Miu took off her glasses as she suddenly lunged at Kenichi sending a punch towards him which he narrowly backed off from however the blonde quickly raised her leg up and made lightning fast kicks at the ground around Kenichi making him fall "Sun Tzu art of war states know yourself and your enemy to make the advantage."

"Know myself and the enemy?" Kenichi asked not seeing where this's going.

"Yes tell me what are your strengths and that of your opponent" Miu answered.

"Well I'm really small and I have no skills whatsoever" Kenichi admitted slumming down "My opponent is really large and strong he can easily pick a pipsqueak like me up no problem."

"Speed" Miu suddenly spoke making Kenichi look at her "He's large meaning he lacks speed and is probably clunky thinking pure strength alone is enough sacrificing the power of his lower body for the upper one not to be picked up by another Judoka."

"Okay, so he's still stronger than me."

"But you can out maneuver him, since you weren't trained in judo it means you still have strength in your lower half and I believe I got the technique you need" Miu revealed.

"Really?" Kenichi asked with a bright smile and starry eyes "Are you going to teach me those kicks you just made? Or maybe how to disappear in a blur?"

"Um it's a basic move" Miu admitted with a sweat drop "But it's still effective."

"Alright how can I do it?" Kenichi asked.

"Um wait till afternoon" Miu suggested "We still have school you know."

Not far from them Naruto and Moe watched "Hm he does seem promising he got great endurance but it's too early to teach him even a single basic move" Naruto deduced as he watched Miu show Kenichi the move and perform it on him.

"Well being a meat bag for the school sure paid off for him" Moe snickered but noticed her oldest cousin isn't laughing making her stop "Did I take it too far the joking?"

"No I just never saw Miu this happy before is all" Naruto admitted watching them.

"Yeah now I think about it Miu has been more expressive since we first interacted with him" Moe spoke in agreement.

"Maybe they're in love?" Mao Ran suddenly suggested with a smile "A beautiful romance of rescue" she gushed making a sequel which earned her weird looks from both Naruto and Moe which she quickly caught on to and silently left.

Private investigations building

Arashi Fukuoka along with his wife Satsuki, Celestia and Mathilda arranged the photos of the break in "This truck it belongs to the Mishima Zaibatsu" Arashi revealed "And we are certain that the devil masked woman is a creation of G-Corporation, does that mean the two powers finally coming to a public clash?"

"I doubt it" Mathilda admitted "Jin Kazama is nothing like his grandfather Heihachi Mishima or his father Kazuya Mishima he would prefer to keep his response private."

"But we can't overrule that possibility" Satsuki followed.

Getting off from his resting position on the coach Dazai walked passed the four and left without saying a word "Where is he off to?" Celestia asked.

"Knowing him he's going to try committing suicide like usual" Kunikida answered non-chalantly not looking up from his office.

"Wait seriously?" Celestia asked.

"You'll get used to it hopefully he can in fact die one day" Kunikida answered in the same non-chalantly tone.

"I know who did it" announced a young man with messy black hair and shut eyes wearing a brown detective clothing.

"Who was it Ranpo?" Satsuki asked.

"Defectors or in better terms former Guinee Pigs from the corporation" answered the young man named Ranpo.

"You found out? Or are you theorizing?" asked Celestia seriously.

"I can never lie about my ability" Ranpo got up dramatically before putting on a pair of glasses smirking opening his brown eyes "Super detection!"

"It's real" Arashi vouched "I'll go set up the necessary plans" he then turned to Kunikida "Go get Dazai."

"Yes" Kunikida sighed getting up as he must get to the suicidal maniac before he can kill himself.

Reinan high

Murmurs and talks drowned campus regarding the events that went down the last weekend from the hijack of Xtrema's main event which almost resulted in deaths, the arrest of Tiger Mask W along with his new agent Mammy and lastly about the attack on the police station which ended in the kidnappings of Tiger Mask and Mammy, classroom 1-A was no different as many students spoke about it in fear the only silent ones were Yuu, Michiru, Maki, the Kunoichi Kasumi or as she's known here Sakura Misaka and her master Aster "Say Sakura want to hear about our crazy weekend?" asked Yuu in a sort of pleading tone since everyone was talking about the after mentioned incidents.

Kasumi forced a smile not that Yuu could tell "Sure tell me about it."

"You see me, Michiru, Maki along with our friend from a different class Renge Inui and our other friend from a high class school named Mina Nakanotani went to the pool and as we were having fun racing this weird messed up bitch showed up."

Aster yawned as he putted on headphones and quickly drowned their voices "Rude" Michiru said glaring at him.

"C'mon listen we got some hot girl on girl action" Yuu tried to invite him into listening.

"Still not interested" Aster stated flatly.

"Please continue" Kasumi begged not wanting them to disturb her master further.

"Alright I believe you saw Mina recently she's in all the magazines now since she's a Holstein" Yuu continued but stopped to get a response which was a critical look from Kasumi at the insult to a supposed friend.

"Yes recently I saw a girl with um a rather big chest in a one piece swimsuit along with Ms. Maki too" Kasumi responded making Maki look away blushing.

"Well as people were taking picture of her and Maki this woman kept coming our way attacking the guys that were shooting pictures and yelling non-stop and she even challenged Maki" Yuu continued.

Michiru chuckled as she wrapped her arm around Maki "But Maki here scared her and told her" the blonde haired coughed adjusting her voice "Wanna fight?"

"Nah it's like this" Yuu adjusted her voice "Wanna fight."

"No wrong how about you say it Maki?" Michiru asked making Maki turn into a deeper shade of red.

"Regardless I believe her response the woman was either silence or a threat" Kasumi brought the two back on track.

"Yeah the next day when we finished eating rice out she showed up out of nowhere and yelled some stuff about knowing Maki's true colors and challenged her to a fight" Yuu continued.

Kasumi eyes widened "I hope nobody got hurt."

"Nah Maki beat her senseless" Yuu boasted giving her giantess friend a playful punch to the arm.

"Aster, hey Aster!" shouted a girl entering the classroom, Kasumi quickly turned to her to ensure the safety of her master.

Aster removed his headphones greeting the girl with a look of tiredness he doesn't know her personally but she's of the few that stayed out of his way "What do you want?" he asked flatly.

"A girl wants to see you" she answered with a low subdued meek voice.

Aster raised an eyebrow puzzled "Who?"

"I don't know but she seemed older and wasn't wearing our uniform."

"What did she say?" Aster pressed further.

"Not much just she wa-" the girl stopped in her tracks when someone went passed her shoulders both Yuu and Michiru had widened eyes.

"Misaki" Yuu said.

"Nakahara" Michiru followed.

Aster's blood turned frozen seeing the newcomer being a girl with long black hair with many purple streaks and red dye ,piercings on her ears, brown eyes wearing a black uniform that was heavily undone such as a very low skirt along with unbuttoned top showing her cleavage, her nails were long and painted purple a skull ring was on her middle finger along with a pair of long leather high heel boots "Hey Aster long time no see."

Aster remained silent as Kasumi looked ready to jump in "Class in session" Himejime the teacher arrived putting off the tension as the girl Misaka left giving a wink to the troubled boy who remained stern as a wall.

Streets

The Candy Pair walked around the street corner by passing some buildings and crossing the traffic lights until they finally reached their destination an apartment complex building as they checked the mail box "There" Mint pointed at a name nodding to each other the tag team climbed up the stairs reaching the door as Milk rung the bell an waited, no response came so another ring followed and again no response "Let me handle this" Mint offered as she repeatedly rang the bell this time running footsteps echoed as the door was opened.

"Shut up!" yelled Haruna in her pyjamas but soon her rage faded upon seeing the Candy Pair before her with Mint smiling and Milk giving a nervous wave matched with her nervous smile.

Without saying much of a word Haruna grabbed the door and slammed it shut making Mint sigh in anger as she rang the bell repeatedly again making Haruna open the door and this time Mint tackled Haruna inside and Milk immediately followed suit and shut the door behind them, Mint got up from Wrestling with Haruna as she gave her a look "Thanks for having us" Mint said in dead sarcasm.

"Make yourselves at home" Haruna replied in the same tone.

Milk grabbed some cups as she made tea and sat it down "Enjoy yourselves" Mint accepted the tea and sipped from her cup, Haruna looked at her cup for a while before she got up and got a bucket of ice-cream out of the top freezer and began eating it up.

"You're going to get fat and out of shape if you eat this much" Mint scolded.

"Who cares?" Haruna asked depressingly as she continued to eat large amounts.

"We do as your friends" Milk answered with a saddened look "He's still here."

"You don't know that" Haruna retorted.

"Do you?" Mint asked with anger.

"Mint please don't" Milk pleaded.

"Answer me!" Mint pressed on.

Haruna sighed "I don't know but even then I know he'll not be fine" she sniffled "He'll either be killed by those criminals or be hated for the rest of his life."

"He defeated Tiger the great" Milk said.

"So?" Haruna asked.

"He can overcome whatever is thrown at him and if he's ever in trouble we'll get to him all of us" Milk said with sincerity.

Haruna looked down "I can't."

"What?" Mint asked.

"I can't reach him or anyone" her sniffling increased "The law enforcement told me they got this, it's all my fault!"

"Haruna you didn't do anything wrong" Mint assured.

"Yes I did!" Haruna yelled tears running down her cheeks "I ignored him when he needed me I blamed him for that jumbotron falling and didn't listen to him" she buried her face in her hands sobbing loudly "If I did I could have got him out of there."

The Candy Pair hugged Haruna as they comforted their friend from her misery.

Reinan high roof

Break time came as Aster stood on the roof greeted by the gentle breeze standing at the edge of the roof was Misaka Nakahara who faced the troubled boy with a smile it made him glare and cross his arms, that smile it brought both pleasant and terrible memories "I remember the first time I met you, you looked pissed off but then again when weren't you? Some tough guy giving you shit in that arcade you and your friends go to" Misaka snapped her fingers "He didn't land a single hit; you took him down flat."

"I was lucky" Aster argued "His friends weren't there and he thought he could beat me with his hands in his pockets."

Misaka shrugged "Still the guy was a year older than you or so, my boyfriend thought you were cool and wanted you to be part of his crew" Misaka reached to her boot pulling a pack of cigarettes out grabbing one with her mouth and her other hand got a lighter out of the other boot burning her cigar which she quickly took a few sips from it "Course you didn't want to get involved in a gang making Nagato pissed but I managed to calm him down."

"What are you doing here?" Aster asked coldly "I thought you transferred."

"Transferred back" Misaka replied doing some tricks with her smoke "Didn't like my new school, way too strict, this place is a lot laxer. I live by myself now in an apartment building don't have to worry about my old folks anymore" Aster made a grumbling noise at the back of his throat "Still the conversationist I see" Misaka spoke sarcastically.

An uncomfortable silence dawned on the pair during which Aster tried to glare at the girl but she shook it off like no tomorrow, Misaka finally finished her smoke dropping the cigar down before putting it out with her boot "Looks like we'll be seeing each other's more often" Misaka said as she closed in and caught Aster in her embrace she snugged into his hair and sniffed it "Strawberries I doubt that's cologne" she allowed the terrified and pale Aster to look at her smug "You've got the smell of a woman on you. Did my little Aster get himself some while I was gone?"

Aster barred his teeth "Keep digging and you'll only find your grave."

Misaka laughed letting go of Aster she always found his attempts at being tough cute "Well I need to get my new uniform be seeing ya."

Aster kept his gaze down as she left and climbed down her boots echoing in the stairway "Damn it why did she come back?"

Meanwhile in the lunch room Kasumi sat around her new circle as she was ordered by her master not to accompany him when meeting Misaka Nakahara, still the Kunoichi didn't feel comfortable about this especially as the entire lunch room with all of its differing groups and circles were talking about the return of Misaka Nakahara "So is she back?" asked one friend being a tan skinned girl with long black hair and hazel eyes.

"You mean Misaka?" asked another girl being a big one with long orange hair and matching eyes "You heard right."

"Wasn't she expelled?" asked another girl with short blonde hair and hazel eyes.

"Nope" answered a girl with a green high ponytail and matching green eyes wearing pink glasses "Turns out she transferred along with her folks."

"Hmph" the orange haired girl grunted "I'll give her a month or a week top before she gets expelled."

"Regardless I don't want her near my sister again" said the green haired girl "She picked on her all the time back when she was a junior."

"No wounder Aster looks like shit today" suddenly spoke a short brown haired girl with grey eyes "Well more than usual."

Kasumi saw her opportunity to get some answers without disturbing her master "Why?"

They all looked at her with raised eyebrows at her reaction but suddenly it hit them "Your new so you don't" the orange haired girl spoke the hit "They used to be an item."

A cold jolt travelled down on Kasumi's spine but she wasn't sure why "Well not really if we get too technical" the green haired girl said.

Kasumi turned to her "What do you mean Maki?"

Maki sighed "Misaka has issues with her parents or to be more specific she has issues with her dad. He's a government official not famous enough to have a wiki page but important enough to care about his image, a conservative type of a man thinks tradition is more important than be destroyed by the modern world. Basically wants everyone to say their please and thank you while meaning it."

"Misaka did all of that" the short haired blonde continued "She was in flower arrangement club, tea club, calligraphy club and was nice to everyone, but she turned the other direction one day skipping classes, smoking, dying her hair, getting piercings and went with some punk named Nagato just to piss her father off."

"There is a rumour about her and him doing 'it' in the gym's locker room" the orange haired added with a snort "Knowing that slut I wouldn't put it past her."

"I don't believe Sakura needed to know that" said the tan skinned girl.

"Yeah she wants to know about Misaka and Aster" Maki said "Anyways after meeting with Clover she ditched Nagato and latched herself on to him. Many theories came as to why but the most obvious is putting the final nail on her daddy issues, seeing that her dad is pro Japan tradition he most than likely wanted Misaka to date and marry a well to do Japanese guy so she instead went after Aster despite what he claims of having a Japanese nationality it's obvious to everyone he's a foreigner to the bone with a chip on his shoulder the perfect middle finger to good old daddy Nakahara."

"She used him?" Kasumi asked with shock and disgust.

"Well it's just a theory all I know is she left one day and Aster was a wreck" Maki answered "However some say she did confess to him that he was the middle finger to her daddy only these two know for sure and Aster isn't talking about it."

Kasumi looked up in worry unable to comprehend this story, she never experienced such a feeling herself being caught up in her own set of problems, however she did get many admirers as Kasumi the fighting Ninja and now as Sakura Misaka her shoe locker filled with confession letters but the same treatment wasn't given to her master the only ones that interact with him are those who want fights or his friends. Hearing that he had a girlfriend that only used him to anger her father disgusted the Kunoichi to no end she glanced seeing Aster come into the cafeteria immediately surrounded by his friends who tried to comfort him but the boy remained impassive.

After a much tiresome day the afternoon arrived as many students left one by one or in groups one such case were the trio of Yuu, Michiru and Maki accompanied by their friend Renge "Well this's about to turn interesting" Yuu said tiredly "First those weekend incidents and now Misaka Nakahara is back, I get the feeling that Nerima's the one behind this."

"Why would you say that?" Renge questioned.

"Well I recently looked some information about Nerima and let's say it's not favourable to them" Michiru answered "I believe they dragged their bad luck to us" said as she looked at the school board showing a wanted picture of a masked man that recently began terrorizing campus and attacking students.

The park

Arriving at the promised meeting location Kenichi waited for the arrival of Miu however the girl seemed to take long promoting the boy to sit by the bench undoing a wrap of chocolate but before the boy could take a bite he was suddenly caught from behind and had his head banged against the edge of the bench making him lose the chocolate bar, Kenichi quickly recovered seeing someone run away "Hey stop! Thief!" the brown haired boy cried out chasing after the person who kept running he grabbed a trash can and spilled it's contents from behind making Kenichi stop in his tracks but the person was soon kicked in the face and sent flying, Miu landed on both feet and caught Kenichi's chocolate treat in her hand "Miu thanks."

"No problem" Miu said the two joined to mount over the assailant and were surprised to see a teen with short white hair and hazel eyes wearing torn clothes.

The boy quickly looked up taking advantage of the shock as he ran away "What was that?" Kenichi asked.

"I have no idea" Miu answered as they looked at the path the thief escaped from.

A river bank

The thief fell on the grass next to a river clutching his stomach as it growled "I failed to satisfy my hunger" he cried to himself.

'Get out we don't need someone like you!'

'We thought you were something but turns out your just useless.'

'Go die in a ditch!'

The thief punched the grass he was standing on silencing the voices that haunted him "I'll rob the next person I see successfully" he spoke with determination as he scouted for prays his ears picked on a sound making look to the river seeing two legs sticking out "What?" shocked he saw the legs move indicating the person is alive, quickly he jumped into the river and grabbed the person back on land.

"I was saved damn it" the soaked person said being Dazai who then looked at the thief "Are you the one that disturbed my drowning?"

"Disturbed! I was trying to save-" the thief was about to retort but stopped midway "Wait drowning?"

"It's a type of suicide where you put yourself in water and make yourself unable to breath" Dazai explained before casting a look down "I was trying to commit suicide but you got in the way."

"Okay" the thief boy said dejected.

Dazai started getting up "Well my goal is to commit suicide that nobody would be troubled by but it seems I have troubled you so I apologize."

The rumbling of the thief boy's stomach disturbed them both making the boy embarrassed as he tried to silence it "Okay see you around" he tried to leave but the stomach kept rumbling.

"Are you hungry?" Dazai asked.

The thief boy nodded "I haven't eaten since yesterday" he admitted as another grumble came not from him but the one he rescued.

"Me neither but I lost my wallet somewhere around here" Dazai admitted.

"Seriously? Here I was thinking you treat me as thanks for saving you" the boy retorted making Dazai give him a questioning look "Don't give me that."

"There you are oaf!" yelled a voice being Kunikida standing on the other side of the river.

"Hey Kunikida thanks for working hard" Dazai waved at him.

"It's your fault I'm working too hard you suicidal maniac!" Kunikida yelled "C'mon don't disturb my calculations any further!"

Dazai clapped his hands "Hey boy since I can't treat you let my associate here do it."

"LISTEN TO ME!" Kunikida yelled.

Dazai however didn't pay much mind as he glanced at the thief boy "What's your name?"

"Atsushi Nakajima" the boy answered.

Dazai smiled as he invited to boy to follow him "Tell me what would you like to eat?"

Restaurant

Sitting in a nearby restaurant Kunikida kept tapping on the table as Dazai and thief boy Atsushi were glopping bowl after bowl, after finishing another bowl Atsushi sighed in relief "Thanks for saving me guys I would have been dead today if it weren't for you."

"It's nice to hear that kid but me and Dazai must go now" Kunikida said.

"What do you guys do?" Atsushi asked.

"We're detectives" Dazai answered "Currently we're working on a case where a famous Wrestler and his new agent were kidnapped."

Kunikida watched as Atsushi's eyes widened upon hearing that "I-I see good luck you guys" Atsushi wished as he was about to leave but was caught by Kunikida "D-do you need something?"

"Well I did pay for the meal so I believe I'm owed by you" Kunikida answered.

"Um I'm unemployed as of now" Atsushi admitted "And I doubt I'll find employment here."

"It's not about the money" Kunikida assured but Atsushi didn't seem any less worried "You know something?"

"About what?" Atsushi asked as sweat was pouring out of him.

"The operation that happened" Dazai answered now narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know anything they threw me out!" Atsushi cried out before he quickly closed his mouth upon realizing what he said.

Both detectives grabbed Atsushi and took him to the back "Who is it?" Kunikida asked.

"They were like me Guinea pigs we escaped but they got rid of me when I proved to be useless" Atsushi admitted "They want revenge."

*Blocking*

"Well that was quite the turn outs if I say so myself" Awesome said "However I'm still aware it's not everyone's cup of tea, regardless next week we'll start with the Chinese new year special so this twist would be a pause for the canon story until we finish the special. Until then Thank you for reading and have a nice day."
