"it lets them know if your alive or what situation your in for the three of us"
well three days later they were at task-force HQ and after fingerprints were taken it was confirmed that they were indeed several of the "dead" Red Halls members and then Jody speaks up
"I guess this means there's going to be another big meeting between the samurai clans?"
"nope, just a regional meeting, the other clans can easily spread the word out to the rest while we figure out what we're going to do next"
and so three days later the regional samurai clans met and found out why the Red Halls clan was the one to call the meeting
"well this is interesting, the entire clan was supposed to have been slaughtered except for Maria and John, the rest of the clan didn't join in until after a gronthal recently"
"well some of the elders and younger ones actually escaped death, instead we were captured in the hopes of spilling samurai secrets and also so one by one we would despair, while the Mesanic Brothers got their revenge"
"well we'll spread the word around that there were more survivors then previously thought"
"thanks"
and so the task-force and recently found Red Halls members go back to HQ where they have a very important discussion that they agreed could wait until after the meeting
"so what do you guys want to do?, will you stay and help find new recruits or leave and form your own group?"
what Jody and the others didn't know was that while in captivity the entire group talked and decided that should they be rescued they would inform any possible survivors of the Red Halls clan and then stay with the clan that saved them or depending on just how small the Red Halls clan was return to the clan and help rebuild the clan by teaching, not to mention helping the police as well
"we stay, we'll teach and help the police and this task-force in any way possible"
"all right then let's start out by seeing who would be worthy for training and go from there"
and so soon enough they had several new recruits and at the same time the new racing season began
"so we train the recruits while you guys race"
"yes but don't forget"
"don't worry we know, if we hear anything suspicious we'll find a way to inform you"
"right and remember your best bet is to let John know first after all he's just a mechanic, he doesn't have to necessarily pay attention to the race track"
"right"
well that day everyone got a huge surprise because while Rick had surpassed Captain Falcon he soon passed on the title to someone else that he felt was worthy and returned to the task-force, the problem was one of the races had been sabotaged and Captain Falcon was the primary target and believed dead. Just like Jody's brother Andy had been thought dead for a time after going after Blood Falcon. But one of the racers announced was Captain Falcon, though the announcer was honestly surprised at that
"how is he alive?"
"not sure but hopefully he'll give the task-force some answers afterwords"
"well looks like Zoda is part of the race as well"
"we'll have to keep an eye out for him then"
"let's race"
three laps in everyone finds out the horrible truth of Captain Falcon's return, it was actually a member of Light, a recent criminal group that was getting quite annoying to the samurai clans, though not as annoying as the Mesanic Brothers were
