They approached the front of the warehouse, walking now due to the fact that they ran out of breath halfway there. The two of them just stood there staring up at the massive neon lighted sign on top of the building. The sign depicted a puppy's head with a generic happy anime expression and large letters spelled out "Mr.B's" in strobe lights. Mitchell walked up to the front door. "Come on man, I think we should start learning these powers now, not going to some lame rave." Johnathen said. Mitchell ignored him, opening the door and walking in to the club. A few seconds later Johnathen sighed and followed in after him.
They where stunned at what they saw inside the warehouse. People dancing to the music as Haru Haru Haruko (FLCL) rocked out on stage with her guitar. The bartender was even more of a surprise, the once monster known as Fat Buu (DBZ). He danced to the music as he served drinks across the bar at the same time.
On a side stage Tien (DBZ) worked a turntable with one hand, the other holding headphones up to his ear. The flashing lights all began to stop as Tien and Haruko finished their set. The packed warehouse was full of anime characters famous to the two, as well as countless ones they didn't even know. Everyone exploded with cheers and clapping as the music died down. Mitchell sat down at the bar and Johnathen leaned up against it casually. Fat Buu walked up to the two suspiciously. "You two legal huh?" He said in his high pitched voice. "Uh… sure." They both said. Fat Buu thought for a second before saying. "Yeah ok you drink now?" and drink they did. Soon after the lights had dimmed, all of Majin Buus with the exception of Fat Buu walked out onto the main stage, and much head-banging commenced to the Buu's version of Disturbed's 'The Sickness". After much awesome partying to the both metal and techno, and an amazing anime only combination of tech-metal uber beats, after many hours of drinking and raving, the two began to lose their composure. Johnathen sat on a corner couch, surrounded in anime cat girls, they where all quite drunk. "Like I was saying… hey where did Mitch go?" Johnathen said in slurred speech. None of them seemed to know, oblivious to the fact that he had just stumbled out the door seconds earlier.
Hours later morning broke overtop of the high Neo Tokyo skyscrapers, and Mitchell awoke in a pile of garbage. "What the… where the hell am I?" He mumbled to himself as he rubbed his sore head.
Mitchell got himself up from the garbage and stepped off of it. Although he collapsed from dizziness soon after. The alley was dark even through it was daylight outside. Mitchell's head was spinning and he had a terrible throbbing headache. "Oh… what the hell did I do last night?" He said to himself. Just then he heard a door open not to far from where he was. Johnathen walked out of the door and started walking down the alley towards Mitchell. He stopped in from of him and shook his head. "Well I got to hand it to you, coming here was a freakin sweet idea." Johnathen said. Mitchell just moaned in pain from the hangover again. "Yes it was… I had a great time, how about you?" asked Johnathen with a smile. Mitched looked up at him with an evil glare. "Well I guess not…" said Johnathen. "I can't remember a thing from last night…" Mitchell said. "Well that's to bad because we laughed for hours after you where gone." Johnathen said with another smile. "Well what happened? Mitchell said wincing at his own voice. "Let's just say you felt up the wrong woman." Johnathen said with a laugh. "Really? Who?" Mitchell asked as he slowly stood up. "Bulma" (DBZ) Johnathen replied. "Sweet… one life long dream down, … some more to go." Mitchell said with a grin. "Oh that aint the best part. Vegeta (DBZ) saw you, and tossed your ass into the alley with one arm." Said Johnathen. "Well that sucks, I guess I'm lucky to be alive." Mitchell said adjusting his hat. "So what did you do?" Mitchell asked as they started walking out of the alley. "Well let's just say I've accomplished a life long dream of my own." He answered with a grin. "I don't know what you're talking about… but I can't imagine what it was." Mitchell said rolling his eyes as they emerged into the street.
They stepped out onto the street and into the bright sun. The city had been alive at night, people literally everywhere. Now though, they didn't see that many. They began walking down the street aimlessly, wondering here and there. Mitchell had his hands in his pockets as he walked, hat low over his eyes and not paying attention to where he was going. They talked back and forth for a while, trying to figure out where to go. "We should go to one of those schools." Johnathen said finally. "Man fuck school, I aint coming to freaking paradise just to go to school." Mitchell said with a grunt. "Dude it's school for powers, I'm sure it isn't the same as normal school." Johnathen said shrugging his shoulders. "Bullshit, school is school." Just then Mitchell slammed into a punk in a leather jacket, knocking both of them to the ground. "How about you watch were your going you freaking ass hat!" yelled Mitchell as he got back up to his feet. The punk stood too with a pissed off look on his face. Five more people nearly identical to him appeared form an alley. "You made a big mistake coming to this part of town newbies" replied the punk. Mitchell looked around, "Kinda looks like everyone else". "Shut up" yelled one of the punks! Johnathen pointed excitedly and shouted "Oh, oh! They're henchmen"! Mitchell smiled, and then they attacked. Soon after that they got their asses kicked. "Damn man, what the hell" said Mitchell? Johnathen hit his forehead with his palm and said "Duh! We didn't get any powers! We're just anime citizens"! "Oh shit" replied Mitchell realizing Johnathen was right all along. The punks began to laugh as one of them pulled a knife. "We're so dead" said Mitchell. Just then Batou (Ghost in the Shell) stepped out of an alley with an assault rifle. "This is a dangerous place for henchmen" he said with a grin.
"Stay out of this man, our fight is with these newbies not you" the lead henchman said. "Any fight you have with my students officially becomes my fight" replied Batou. Then quicker then Mitchell and Johnathen could comprehend, the lead henchman's crushed body lay lifeless at his feet. "does anyone else feel like talking back" he asked. They scurried off back into the dark alley, and disappeared. Batou walked over to the two heroes, and picked them both up off the ground by their shirts. "why didn't you come strait to one of the schools!" He yelled at them. "Your lucky Washu saw the two of you dumb-asses at Mr. B's and told me to follow you, or you'd be dead now" he continued. Johnathen and Mitchell where stunned form being picked up so easily, and remained completely speechless. Batou realized how intimidated they where and set them down. "Now let's go, before Kaneda comes for us" said Batou. "The guy from Akira" asked Johnathen? "Yeah, he was the first henchman to gain hero status but he still chooses to stay with his roots" Batou replied. "Well that doesn't sound good" adds Mitchell. "Now just follow me back to combat training gym" ordered Batou. After walking all the way back to where they first started, Batou showed them inside the building. It was a large warehouse, even bigger than Mr. B's, and it had massive obstacle courses, firing ranges, and work out areas. "If you guys are gonna start fighting henchmen you'll need some muscle and survival training".
