[Super Hero Time]
Shuriken16: Hey guys. Wow… This is WAY overdue. It's been 2 months since I updated this. Neo Decade's been updated and has taken my fanfic career by storm, and the Duel Masters fanfics have been a ton of fun working on. This on the other hand… decline in hits and reviews (Damn You Neo Decade!) with all the attention going to Neo Decade. As a result, Writer's Block reared its ugly head, and I honestly don't know how to start this off properly. So I'll try to do the best that I can without boring myself into another writer's block.
Chapter 27: What it means to be KING
(Nolan's singing Eiji's parts, while Kaiger sings the backup singer's lines :3)

Akiramete Sabita shunkan Hashirenaku naru!" (You watch out!)
Nolan and Kaiger sung the song as they made their way into the SADE building early that Saturday morning, heading towards the CLAW Lounge.
"Hi Jessie!" The doors slid open revealing Nolan's happy attitude.
Tim turned his shoulder, stopping his studying. "She's not here."
Nolan looked around realizing that Tim was the only one in the room.
"Where is she?"
"Her and Tyson are in the Training area. Now that Jessie's a rider, he took it upon himself to become her personal trainer."
"Wait what? I thought we agreed that I was gonna help her train."
"Hey, that's between you three. Now if you'll excuse me, I have more studying to do. I've been cramming the books all night so I'm wiped."
Nolan rolled his eyes and left for the training area, the door sliding behind him. Tim turned on his iPod and picked his pen up.
"Screw it." He closed his book and hopped onto the couch, closing his eyes.
Jessie continuously dodged Tyson's strikes as they both went back and forth with their attacks. Nolan ran into the lobby, watching the two spar with ease.
"Wow, who knew Jessie could fight so well?" Kaiger said out loud.
"That's from all my training." Nolan replied proudly.
"Are you sure about that? I never saw Jessie pull moves like that before."
Nolan took a closer look at actually studied her movements.
Jessie jumped back and charged forward, delivering a right hook, which was blocked by Tyson. Tyson simply tapped her hand back, causing her to respond with a left kick, which was blocked as well. Tyson delivered a front kick that knocked Jessie back, despite luckily blocking it on time. She fell on the mat, given two seconds to avoid the descending fist of Jason.
Jessie rolled over to the side, and turned over giving Tyson a back kick to the chest, causing him to fly back. She pushed herself up and jumped, preforming a quick Axe Kick to knock him towards the mat.
Tyson grunted as he refocused the situation noticing the hand held out towards him.
"Nice counter." Tyson said grabbing Jessie's hand.
"Well you're a great teacher." She smiled. "Always been, always will be."
Tyson smirked and wrapped his arm around his little sister. "Come on, let's get some breakfast."
Jessie nodded in agreement, finally noticing Nolan.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something…" Jessie started to say.
"Yeah… our training session, this morning…?" Nolan reminded. "You're supposed to be the responsible one."
"I know, I know. I'm sorry. But Tyson said that he was gonna take over my training from now on and I… forgot to mention it?"
"Forgot to-" Nolan cut himself off. "Don't worry about it. He's your brother; I can't stand in the way of his decisions. But we're still hanging out later after work right?"
"Um about that…?"
"She has to finish her photography project after work." Tyson stepped in.
"OK then. How about…? Never mind. I have the feeling the next thing that comes out of my mouth; Tyson will have an excuse as to why you can't do it."
"Whoa where did that come from?" Jessie asked. "I know you still aren't used to the idea of him being around but relax! It's been a week, and I'd appreciate it if you will just let it go already."
Nolan cleared his throat. "In that case, I'm sorry…"
"Apology accepted." Tyson replied. "Come on Jessie; let's leave so you can make it back to class on time."
Jessie nodded.
Jessie and Tyson then walked out of the room, Tyson stopping short.
"Don't worry about Jessie so much. I'm here so there's no need for you to cling on to her the way you do." Tyson whispered to Nolan.
Nolan balled his fist up, ready to spin around.
"Hey Tyson, come on." Jessie said from the doorway.
"Sorry, I just forgot something, I'm coming right now."
He gives Nolan a sideways look. "I'll take over as her bodyguard from now on." He then walked out of the room as the door slid closed.
"…What just happened?" Nolan pondered.
"Tyson just cut your chances at getting with his sister."
"What makes you think that I'd wanna start dating Jessie?"
Kaiger looked at him. "You're really asking me that question?"
Nolan turned his head and grabbed Kaiger off his shoulder, throwing him into his bag.
"Real mature of you…" He said under the flap of the messenger bag.
"OK Class, who can answer number 3; how many Rider Systems have been created in SADE's History?" Nolan finished writing the answer to the second question on the chalkboard.
Marissa raiser her hand making Nolan call on her.
"The answer to number three is Three. The Three systems created in SADE's History are The: CLAW System, FANG System and WING System."
"Correct. Follow-up question: How many of each is in existence?"
Amy raised her hand this time. "The CLAW System has 4 AI-adapted systems: the Shogun, Samurai, Shinobi, and Marksman CLAWs. The FANGs have 5: the Archer, Titan and Swordsman, Saber and Hunter. The WINGs have 4 as well: Commando, Swat, Mercenary, and the most recent, Knight.
"Good. Well class that about wraps up this lesson. Remember, your 'Rules of the Hero' project is due soon so get your ten rules down. Class dismissed."
The group of SADE Trainees collected their stuff and left to go on ahead to their next class, or to leave.
"You OK?" Marissa asked as she walked towards Nolan's desk.
Nolan looked up. "Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just, uh… I'm just a little tired.
"You've encountered Tyson's protective side didn't you?" She assumed.
Nolan nodded reluctantly.
"Relax; it'll take some time for him to open up, especially after all of the things that happened recently. Give him a second. I promise he'll open up to the rest of you guys in no time."
"Weird, I'm getting a pep talk from a former enemy."
Marissa smirked. "Knowing your history, you should be used to it." She stood up and walked towards the door. "After all, we're still getting used to this whole transition so expect us to be a bit hostile.
"And you're no so hostile because…?"
"Because I've been around Amy too much; she's one of the perkiest girls ever, how can I be hostile when I'm around that?
Nolan chuckled. "Got a point there."
"Hey Marissa, We're heading out." Amy called from the doorway.
"OK I'm coming." She replied. "Just try to get along with Tyson will you; Queen's orders." Marissa winked and turned towards the doorway to catch up with Amy and the others.
Nolan sat back in his chair and smirked. "Queen's Orders huh?"
Later on that afternoon, Tyson and Jessie stared at the city via SADE's rooftop admiring the scenery and still catching up.
"Wow, you guys' have been through a whole lot these last two years huh?"
"Yeah we have been. And what about you guys?"
"Those Bushido Riders that Shadow drafted out of SADE…" Tyson started. "I swear they made every moment with them a living hell.
"Was it really that bad?" Jessie asked.
"What can I say? I can't stand cocky attitudes. But what made it worse was the fact that they were cocky, arrogant… and deadly."
"You make it seem like the FANGs have their work cut out for them." Jessie mentioned.
"Ha! 'Their work cut out for them…?' that's probably the lowest understatement I've ever heard." Tyson replied. "They don't have their work cut out for them. We need to push them to their limits or else they'll be killed without a second glance… That's how serious this is."
"And how do you suppose we bring about that?" Nolan asked from the rooftop doorway. "I'm all ears."
"You were eavesdropping?" Jessie snarled. "What the hell's gotten into you?"
"The curiosity as to why Tyson's trying to push me away from you." Nolan said without thinking.
He re-thought what he said but it was too late. Jessie's anger was on a one-way trip skyward.
"Push you away?" She repeated. "Nolan, for god sakes he's my brother! Why can't you accept that he's finally here after all this time? You said it yourself that you were gonna help me find him, and once he's found you don't want us to be together?"
"Wait Jess, I didn't mean-"
"Save it!" She fiercely cut him off. "I don't want to hear another word out of you until you grow up and get over the fact that I'm not going to rely on you all of the time!"
Jessie began to walk past him heading down the stairs. She stopped at the bottom step and turned her back.
"Just face it…" She began in her calm demeanor. "You're not going to be my 'Shinobi in Shining Armor' whenever the chance arises. Give someone else a chance to protect the ones they love." She then continued her descent.
Nolan felt guilty all of the sudden, then he heard the sudden clapping of Tyson a few feet away.
"Nice job." Tyson remarked. "I was right after all…"
"Right about what…?" Nolan asked.
"Jessie told me stories about your past adventures when it came to the other members of the RRF. But the fact of the matter is… There's a difference between 'Holding a Title' and 'Living up to it.' You may be known as the KING of Spades… but with that attitude to be the QUEEN of Heart's Lapdog… You're not even fit to be called such a High Title."
"Take that back!" Nolan snapped.
Tyson smirked. "Or what…? If you touch me, Jessie will go off on you again. "But what do I care? Whether or not we fight will determine how serious you are about upholding your title of KING of Spades…HENSHIN!"
Blaze materialized and flew onto the docking port on Tyson's back, triggering KING Mode.
"HENSHIN!" Nolan slid the Gold side of his CLAW, triggering Kaiser Mode to trigger.
"Prove to me that you're fit to be the KING of Spades!" Tyson stated.
"Let's go…" Nolan nodded.
The two drew their weapons and went after each other.
Jessie made it downstairs and stopped at the bottom step, sitting on it. She covered her face and sobbed a little.
"Everything OK…?" Yuliya and Tim coincidentally walked up the very staircase finding the sobbing teen.
Jessie turned to her team and nodded slightly. "Tyson and Nolan…"
"Ah I get it." Tim assumed. "I'm gonna leave this in your capable hands Yuliya."
Tim then went through the door across from them as Yuliya sat next to Jessie.
"The stress is getting to you huh?" Yuliya asked.
Jessie nodded. "Tyson's being overprotective, and Nolan feels like he's being replaced as my bodyguard."
Yuliya nodded, understanding. "Patience is a virtue. You just gotta let them sort their disputes on their own. For all we know they could be doing Just that…
"FINAL SLASH ATTACK!"
Both their blades began to glow in a respected aura as they charged one more time, slashing through each other. They stood a few feet away, as they both fell to the ground, their transformations canceling out.
Nolan and Tyson breathed heavily as the two fallen warriors turned to each other.
"That was… Kinda fun." Nolan admitted.
Tyson smirked. "Noah was smart… Choosing you to become the KING of Spades…"
Nolan sat up as much as he could. "How so?"
"Your sword… it spoke about your emotions and your desire to get through this. It also showed the fear you have of losing those close to you. It demonstrated all of the traits of the KING of Spades. And as the KING of Hearts, I have no opposition to Noah's decision."
Nolan stood up and helped Tyson up. "I'm glad you feel that way."
Tyson nodded. "After all, I needed to see if you were able to demonstrate the traits of KING. Because if you couldn't, there's no way we could train the KING of Diamonds for the battles to come.
"That's tru- wait a sec. You mean you've been acting like a jerk just to test me?"
"Seems that way doesn't it?" Tyson pondered. "Oh well. It's in the past. That aside we need to start focusing on what's going on now. Gather everyone in the training area. I wanna make an announcement."
"An announcement?" Nolan raised an eyebrow.
Minutes later, the gang were all lined up downstairs in the training area along with Nolan and Tyson, standing together across from them.
"Thank you for coming on short notice." Tyson started. "As you know, the seconds we waste not training for the future is another second closer that Hashimura is to retrieving the Kaishi decks."
"Which is why we've decided to assign the FANG Riders with other members of the same rank. Josh, since you've been given the title of KING, you'll be training under Tyson and I.
"Marissa, you and Jessie have the responsibility to get Amy ready for battle is that understood?" Tyson ordered.
"Aye Aye Capt." Marissa saluted playfully.
"Tim and Ken, train Will to become the best JACK representative of all time." Nolan said.
"You got it." Tim gave a thumbs up.
Ken smirked, giving Will a sideways look. "Just make sure you can keep up."
"And Yuliya and Misael; Despite the fact that he already has training under his belt, it won't hurt to get more from one of SADE's top field agents." Nolan finished.
"That's fine by me." Yuliya nodded.
"Same here." Misael agreed.
"OK then. Training starts ASAP. And keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious activity. With the Bushido Riders out there, they're no telling where they'll pop up." Tyson finished.
"Yes sir!" they all saluted.
Dominick watched from the upstairs control room as he and shade nodded in agreement. "This is what you trained them for Dad. Let's see if they can withhold it…

[Super Hero Time]
Shuriken16: OK well, I had a hard time with this chapter. The reason being that since it wasn't focused on the FANG's so much. Not like it mattered anyway because this "filler chapter" wasn't focused on them to begin with, but more on the transition of the new allies. The next… 8 chapters I think… or something like that, are gonna be based on the training that both sides are going through (FANGs and Bushido). And following that will be the fights and eventually the conclusion of FANG. On top of that, for those who read the Twin Nexus Fic, expect to see some unique upgrades appear in the future chapters. ;) anyway guys, writer's block is a real SOB, but at least I got to get something FANG related uploaded right? K guys, if you need me, I'll be working on my DM fics or Neo Decade. Cya later
