"SHOOT HIM!" yelled Shark as he brought his gun out and began shooting at the chasing vehicle.

Kunikida eyes widened as he gripped the wheel and made turns evading the bullets making sure that the tires don't get damaged even at the expense of anything else "THIS'S AN ACT OF VIOLENCE! YOU'LL BE ARRESTED YOU-"

"GUYS IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!" Atsushi cried out opening one of the windows.

"Get back inside brat!" Kunikida scolded at the young thief.

"ASTUSHI YOU SNITCH!" yelled Yoruka as she opened fire at her former comrade Dazai quickly grabbed Atsushi and forced him back inside right before the bullet hit him but it did leave a faint scar on his cheek along with a small blood trail.

Stunned the boy held his cheek while the two detectives kept their eyes on the front, Kunikida pressed harder on the gas panel and Dazai brought a pistol out loading it as he slowly opened the window and shot at the vehicle's tires.

"They got the wheels!" John cried out trying to put the wheel back on balance.

"Annoying pests" Yoruka took her shirt down a little revealing her wings as she opened the window and jumped off using the wings to fly towards the detectives holding two pistols in her hands the bird girl opened fire shooting at the windshield cracking the glass making both men curse internally as the vision got blurry.

"Hang on!" Kunikida instructed as he made a turn on his vehicle and then pulled the gear stick making the car reverse as he smashed his foot on the gas panel hitting the trucks back and opening it's hinges slightly, Yoruka landed on top of the car and using her now mutated arm tore off the roof of the car and grabbed Kunikida by his shirt. Dazai readied his pistol only for Yoruka to rise her claw at Kunikida whom was being used as a shield.

"Shoot me you shoot h-" Kunikida gave the mutant bird girl his elbow then followed it with a headbutt the girl raised her claws ready to slash at the blonde detective but Dazai pulled the trigger on the pistol shooting her shoulder making her scream "AH!"

"STOP!" Astushi pleaded as he grabbed Dazai not allowing him to shoot again.

"Kid let go of him!" Kunikida demanded.

"Stay out of this bottom feeder!" Yoruka followed not showing the slightest gratitude towards her former comrade and current saviour.

"Yoruka we don't need to do this" Astushi pleaded "We can go back to society with help from them like we intended-" Astushi was cut off when Yoruka slashed her claws at his chest making his eyes widened and blood gushing out from his clothes.

"We'll never have normal lives and you aren't fit for any form of life bottom feeder" Yoruka spoke harshly weighting every word.

"Not even your fellow escapee is shown mercy" Kunikida whispered as he glared at her.

"Please life is unfair that much everyone knows by now, the only one you should care for is yourself and no one else!"

"Kunikida!" Dazai yelled as the blonde man bended over evading the claws of the bird girl who then kicked herself up and flew away as the truck was back on track the damaged wheel having a brilliant blue glow exactly like those the ropes holding the hostages has.

"Kid are you alright?" Kunikida asked Astushi who still gushed in blood trembling his heart beat being heavier.

'She called me a bottom feeder' Astushi internally spoke his heart beat sounding heavily against his ears with his vision turning red replaying the slash and the term 'Bottom feeder' kept repeating "GRR-ARGHH!"

The two detectives took a step back as the wound of the slash began disappearing and the boy's size increased tearing off his clothing, his muscles became bulkier and his skin began being covered by white fur, his teeth began sharpening up and finally his eyes turned slit with a defying raging scream that turned into a roar what stood before the two detectives wasn't a boy but a white Tiger that jumped off the car's torn roof.

Yoruka made it back into the truck slipping into the window that she opened as she retracted her wings and her claws returned to human form "That should bought us time."

"It did a little bit" John answered "We still need to lose them then it's smooth sailing from here on o-"

*THWACK

The truck stumbled and shook as something slammed the back "You just had to jinx it didn't you?" Seto asked.

The hostages meanwhile skins began turning white as something lashing against the truck's hinges before a giant claw teared through the door revealing a giant white Tiger that roared.

"AHH!" the four screamed in terror seeing the monster as it ran straight towards them all four closed their eyes in preparation for being mauled or worst but instead the Tiger ignored them attacking the front tearing off the wall towards the drivers and sink his teeth at Yoruka's shoulder.

"AH LET GO YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Yoruka demanded as she brought her gun shooting the Tiger's cheek making it let go.

"Atsushi!" John spoke in surprise.

"I'll get him!" Shark yelled as he began enlarging his hand grabbing the Tiger by his neck before he pushed him back unto where the hostages were…wait were?

Looking around Shark had seen that they weren't inside.

Flashback

The hostages braised themselves as the Tiger ran at them and then past them as it tore at where the drivers at "He's ignoring us?" Haruna asked in surprise.

"Seems like it" Naoto answered.

"What are you waiting for?" asked the voice of Mammy making the other's seeing the Mexican con-promoter standing at the broken backdoor "This's our chance!"

she jumped off falling into the passed street "Wait for me!" Kaori demanded as she two jumped off.

"Haruna" Naoto looked at her making her look back nodding with determination as they both jumped off as well.

Present

"WE GOT A PROBLEM!" Shark yelled back making Yoruka look at him with widened eyes.

"The hostages aren't here!" Yoruka yelled to both John and Seto "Bastards must jumped off the torn back of the truck."

"We need to stop the truck and get them back!" John spoke.

"No way if we stop then we'll get arrested but without Tiger Mask Kazuya won't come to our trap!" Seto reasoned as he kept trying to contact the mafia.

"We just need Tiger Mask, right?" Yoruka asked for confirmation.

"Yes" Seto answered uneasily before he covered his eyes as without speaking a word Yoruka took off and flew at the road they left behind them.

Meanwhile the four hostages coughed as the ropes lost their light and slowly crumbled allowing them freedom "The ropes turned back to normal" Kaori mused as she stretched herself.

Letting out a sigh of relief Mammy looked at the other three "C'mon let's hit the road!"

"Yes!" the three answered as they ran off but stopped feeling a pressure coming on to them looking to the side Tiger Mask couldn't avoid a giant bird's claw that caught him by the face being Yoruka who was resembling a mutated human-rave with enlarged bird legs and her arms looking like the legs and her nose became elongated resembling a beak. Flapping her enlarged wings Yoruka flew up holding Tiger Mask in her leg.

"Hey stop!" Haruna cried out as she chased after her, Yoruka looked down seeing Haruna desperately following her but she didn't pay it any mind as she continued soaring back to the truck but a gunshot alerted her as she backed off a little evading a bullet that almost shot her back by a strand of a feather looking down she saw Kunikida with a sniper rifle as he took another shoot at her but she again evaded it along with another shot before bringing Tiger Mask up as a shield.

"Shoot him I dare you!" Yoruka challenged making Kunikida stop as he narrowed his eyes at her using another person as a shield.

"Coward using a hostage as a shield!" Kaori screamed.

"I'll make her pay" Haruna cursed as she ran towards the nearby forest.

Taking advantage of the window of Kunikida's hesitation Yoruka took off again "Hmph that what happens when you care about someone."

"This's what happens when you care about someone!" cried the voice of Haruna as the previous agent of Tiger Mask jumped off of a tree's top and landed on Yoruka grabbing her by her free leg.

"Hey let go!" Yoruka demanded as she flailed her leg around however this gave the opening Naoto needed as he like Haruna latched on to the leg that held him down and like Haruna he weighted himself down pulling Yoruka to the ground unable to fly up again "This can't get any worse."

"Rrragh!" as of the universe heard her the white Tiger lunged at her tackling her down making both Haruna and Naoto fall to the ground.

"I just jinxed myself" Yoruka complained as the Tiger opened it's jaws and closed it on her head making her scream in terror before a rather loud *Crunch!*

The four former hostages all cringed with widened eyes as the Tiger risen up with blood in it's jaws and Yoruka's head was a bloody mess missing the entire front half, the Tiger licked it's jaws swallowing a bloody mess to it's stomach "It ate her?" Kaori asked with fear as she backed off along with Mammy.

Haruna and Naoto weren't as lucky as the white Tiger eyes them most likely the latter in particular before letting out a roar about to lunge at Naoto but just in time someone jumped on the Tiger stopping it's momentum. Dazai smirked "So that's how?" the suicidal detective mused to himself before he began emitting white light from his palms "NO LONGER HUMAN!"

The Tiger wailed as the light blinded it and it began to shrink until it returned to the human form of Astushi "Augh" the boy groaned before he fell to sleep.

"Breaking news this morning Tiger Mask W and his manager Mammy who were kidnapped were recovered by the Armed detective agency" the anchor-man revealed "It's started when a racket was heard in one of the outskirts and reported to the nearest law enforcement offices under the belief of delinquent acts of street violence but turned out those very punks the enforcers were sent to deal with are the same that broke into our police station and kidnapped these very hostages, the two of them are currently being treated by the medical facility and we'll get answers from them as soon as the law allows."

"It's over already?" Mint asked looking at the screen and the photos.

"Do you think these guys saved Haruna?" Milk asked "They didn't mention her at all."

"Hopefully she wasn't there" Kentaro prayed if rather annoyed when the Candy Pair went to him waking him up in the dawn reporting the happenings of his missing niece as they needed his help to report her being gone since he was her legal guardian and come up with a cover story that tells half the truth.

Before anymore talks could be held Mint's phone vibrated quickly Mint looked at the ID and answered "Haruna where have you been?"

"Haruna?" Milk and Kentaro wondered looking towards Mint.

(Sorry I didn't get any of your calls since I was taking a walk is all to clear my mind and I ended up going further than I expected)Haruna spoke through the other side of the line.

"Really?" Mint asked with suspicion.

(Yeah I'm sorry for worrying you.)

"HARUNA!" Kentaro cried out parrying Mint's phone off of her as he yelled into the phone "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING ALL OF A SUDDEN!"

(Eh Uncle? What's going on?)

"Thank your friends over here" Kentaro glared at the Candy Pair who smiled innocently "They woke me up telling me you had gone missing."

(Yeah I should had left a note sorry for disturbing you uncle.)

Kentaro let out a snot "Where are you now?"

(I'm currently on a cap to take me home, see ya then.)

"See ya" Kentaro spoke as the line was cut, as soon as the call ended Kentaro fell on his lap letting out a sigh of relief "That girl is going to put me on a grave."

"All of us" Mint chuckled sadly also relieved.

(…)

Meanwhile on the cap Haruna sighed as she closed the line she leaned back looking up the cap's ceiling remembering all that happened.

Flashback

Following the Tiger's transformation back to a boy the two men rounded her along with Naoto, Mammy and that loud mouthed woman as they confronted them "So" Dazai began narrowing his eyes at Haruna and Kaori "I understand why they were here but what about you?"

Kaori looked down twiddling her thumbs "I was street fighting and I asked this girl if she could be my agent."

Kunikida glared at her for reasoning as he approached her ready to reprimand her about the street fighting but his partner stopped him as he looked at Haruna "What about you?"

Haruna let out a sigh "Would you believe me if I told you Tiger Mask texted me his location?"

Both Dazai and Kunikida had their eyebrows risen giving her stares then look to one another before staring at her again, Kunikida sighed "Do you expect us to believe such an excuse?"

"She's telling the truth" surprisingly the defendant was none other than Mammy "When she came I was surprised seeing a phone in Tiger's hands and that he sent a location."

"Didn't they keep any sort of connection device away from you?" Kunikida asked taken back.

"They did rather they believed I did it since I tried to break out many times but this wasn't my work" Mammy defended looking scared for the first time Haruna and Naoto saw her.

"Very well listen" Dazai turned to Haruna and Kaori "You two go home and mention none of this to anybody unless you want them to get hurt" both nodded especially Kaori who was ready to run off, the detective then turned to the other two "You're coming with us."

Present

'Did this really happen? The things I saw' Haruna internally mused thinking back to Yoruka's bird form and the Tiger turning into a boy. The young upstart couldn't help but feel she stepped into a dark zone she shouldn't had been near of, it felt a lot like a work of fiction rather than a reality of things that were thought and stated to be non-existent turn real and only select few being the media's protagonist knew.

"Hey miss Takaoka about our partnership" Kaori suddenly spoke up making Haruna jolt up forgetting she was in the cap with her "Maybe you could get me on one of those skin commercials."

"I didn't agree to be your agent."

"Oh c'mon just because I'm not your significant other doesn't mean we can't be partners!" Kaori yelled.

Haruna's face turned crimson "He's not my significant other why do people keep saying that?"

"Um because it's obvious" Kaori answered.

"Well we're not!"

"Then will you manage me?" Haruna sighed burying her face into her hands.

(…)

"Have you heard the news?"

"Of course Tiger Mask is saved and turned out the devil masked woman was one of those street delinquents."

"Do you think she's from Raganorak?"

"Possibly these thugs aren't your average street fighter they have a Sumo guy as one of their elites for crying out load!"

Kenichi felt chipper this morning and hearing these news only uplifted his spirits today was the day he finally sees the seeds of his training come to fruition "Are you excited?" asked the voice of his temporary mentor Miu.

"Yeah I feel worried but also excited for some reason, I believe most of it is because Tiger Mask is alright" Kenichi looked up smiling.

"You're a fan of his?"

"Of course he's the best and always came on top against the odds he's been my inspiration lately" Kenichi smiled as he clutched his fist "I want to one day be like him."

Miu giggled "Well the first odd is upon you now."

Kenichi nodded as he walked towards the school with a confident smirk.

The morning passed as the break time finally came longing this Kenichi made it to his clubroom wearing his Judo uniform standing before his opponent, the bullied teen was tense hearing the taunts and being spat upon 'I was really excited but now I realize that I'M NOT READY FOR THIS!'

The realization washed upon him learning that the move he and Miu worked on was only a single technique and he can't see how he can use it in a fight "Ready?" the judge raised his arm not concerned about Kenichi's current state of mind as he delivered his chop down "BEGIN!"

"You're dead meat Shirahama!" the bully shouted as he lunged at Kenichi with a reared back fist about to attack the teen who screamed in terror as he closed his eyes bracing himself for the attack that never came "When did you move?"

Kenichi opened his eyes seeing that his body sidestepped from the incoming blow and by the looks of it none were expecting this at all "I see" he whispered seeing that he used that same technique Miu has been drilling into him.

"YOU'RE LUCK RAN OUT!" the bully yelled as he lunged towards Kenichi again but the teen sidestepped again using that same technique "STOP RUNNING YOU DAMN FLY!"

Kenichi kept sidestepping as the bully was losing more and more air 'He might be a Judoka but from the description you gave me he sounds like an elite thug rather than a true practitioner of the art with this you can evade his blows and wait for him to be vulnerable' Miu's teaching echoed in his mind as the giant Judoka bully became slower and slower until he fell to his knees.

'Right there!' Kenichi shouted internally as he grabbed the giant's hand and pulled him down slamming the ground.

The entire clubroom was dead silent upon seeing the result, going down the ref poked the bully then raised his hand "Winner Kenichi Shirahama!"

"WHAT?" everyone including the winner shouted.

"This can't be right he cheated!" Tamura cried out glaring at the meat bag "I know he did there's no way that was Judo not one bit."

"Still it stands Makoto Daimonji you are hereby expulsion from the Judo club" the ref spoke with seriousness to the large teen, who trembled.

"No please it can't be right" Makoto cried out with tears forming in his eyes "Please I worked my whole life to be in this club."

"You suggested that the loser leaves and" Tamura gave the junior a look of disgust "What use do we have to a weak muscle?"

"No please Tamura I beg you don't get rid of me" the man grabbed the Judo team's captain leg and kissed his foot several times.

Tamura kicked him off of him "Don't kiss up now meat!"

"I'll leave" the sudden proclamation came from Kenichi who bowed "I used a move not from Judo in a supposed Judo spar thus I lost."

The club again had widened eyes at this as Kenichi walked off to his locker clearing it before smiling sadly towards his opponent "I'm sorry I cheated."

With that out of the way the victorious loser took the first steps to his upcoming adventure.

(…)

"So you don't know where the phone came from?" Dazai asked Naoto for confirmation.

"Yes when they woke us up I felt something in my hand and I wasn't aware that I held anything even in my sleep."

Dazai nodded "Very well you're free to go" the detective risen up from his seat as he looked at Naoto in the eyes "I know you're aware of this now but no mention of the supernatural elements in the press, understand?"

"Of course" Naoto answered seriously.

Once the two were out and the flashes of camera's and the sea of reporters surrounded the now released hostages "Tiger Mask is the delinquent that wore the devil mask behind bars now?"

"How did they enter Girmov's event?"

More and more questions came as Dazai watched from the window "Hey Dazai" Kunikida called out to his partner.

"Yes?"

"What are we supposed to do about the kid?"

"We'll hire him" Dazai answered with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Kunikida asked "This isn't the time for your games!"

"I'm serious" Dazai spoke seriously "Considering who we're going up against he would of valuable asset."

(…)

In the office of Kazuya Mishima the CEO of G-corporation watched the news and the interview of Tiger Mask regarding the kidnappers and the devil masked woman, the disgraced son of the Mishima Zaibatsu scoffed as he turned off the tv "Askleadd fulfilled his promise" the smooth voice of his bodyguard regarded.

"Yes but I can't trust him not one bit" Kazuya admitted as he clutched his knuckles purple lightning travelling through his body "The only two good things to come out of this are 1 the supposed death of Evil Rose and knowing she's now functional."

A silence fell on the barely lit office "And the second?"

Kazuya allowed a small smile to creep upon his face "My Tiger is alive" holding in his hand is a picture of Astushi "As long as he's within reach I can rest easy."

"What about the other's?"

"Failures all of them, no matter what cells we got from the Tiger they weren't as ferocious as he was" Kazuya answered getting up from his seat and walking off.

The bodyguard smiled as she held the picture of Astushi in her hand with a devious smirk "He's rather cute looking" she mused seductively licking her lips as she caressed the photo while humming "I know we'll have a lot of fun together boy."

(…)

The orange sunset colored the sky on the port where iron boxes laid it appeared as if the sun itself was sinking into the water below, this imagery however was lost to three individuals who remained pale since this dawn "Damn Astushi!" Shark whispered holding his broken arm with many scars cutting deep into his body and internal organs held by the white bandages wrapping him up.

"Don't speak unless you want to die" John instructed.

"He won't have to worry about his health anymore none of you do" a voice spoken softly to the three survivors who looked to the source seeing Askleadd wearing a smile.

"Took you long enough to answer the calls" John regarded with a glare and whisper.

"Sorry it's just too early you know."

"We lost Yoruka and Tiger Mask meaning our plans to take down Kazuya would need to be revised-"

"JOHN LOOK OUT!" Seto cried out pushing John away as a bullet dug into his forehead ending his life.

"Askleadd" John whispered in fear as the man smiled "You…what did you do?"

"A change of plans" Askleadd answered pointing his gun at John "No hard feelings."

The gun fired but the target was safe as Shark jumped in and used his injured arm as a shield, the loud mouthed mutant cringed as glared at Askleadd "It was you the one who gave us away."

Askleadd smiled as he clapped in mockery "You aren't as stupid as I thought you were congrats."

"Didn't your society want the documents?" John demanded "Didn't we team up to take down the corporation for our freedom and the documents?"

"Like I said change in plans we need Kazuya alive after all" Askleadd fired again killing Shark before taking another shot towards John who snapped and ducked before he jumped into the water below, Askleadd shot his gun at him but no blood came up.

"WHAT'S THAT SOUND?" someone shouted as running footsteps rushed to Askleadd's location who put his gun away and looked to address the gathering crowd of sailors.

As that happened John swam from underneath finally getting out once he reached a sailing cruiser which he latched unto with his blue lightened hands he watched from a distant as Askleadd shoved money into pockets while the ship took him further.

*Return of shorts*

Chibi version of the Candy Pair appeared as they watched the last scene "Well that puts an end to that hopefully the last nine chapters of this update would more light hearted" Chibi Milk said.

"Nine only?" Chibi Mint asked.

"Yep when we finish chapter 80 it'll be thirty chapters worth of updates and the obligatory hiatus is upon us" Chibi Milk answered before looking over to the viewers "Be at ease loyal viewers as following chapters would try to show as much Wrestling action even though chapters 72 and 73 would be daily's they would introduce more Wrestling elements with the latter showing the match card for 74 and 75."

Chibi Mint nodded "Hopefully Haruna and her boyfriend finish their drama and kiss already if their not taking it to their bedroom."

Chibi Milk turned crimson as she looked at her partner "Mint!"

"C'mon I can't be the only one sick of it right?" Chibi Mint asked before smiling to the readers waving goodbye "Thank you for reading and have a nice day."
