Seaford high seemed like the safest place to be in the world. No crime, no hate, and certainly no violence, but Blaze feared that the school's blissful serenity would soon change if Mitsu was allowed to stay. Blaze knew that he could handle her if he surprised her, and when it comes to actually fighting he surpassed her. She was far better at being heard and not seen; while Blaze was still good at being hidden he wasn't nearly as good as her. The opposite is true in regards to the actual act of the killing. Blaze was far superior in his ability of ninjitsu and assassination and Mitsu lacked half the skills that Blaze possessed. Blaze feared that his superior skills wouldn't be enough to beat her sneakiness. He thought there'd be no use in being stronger if he couldn't even get his hands on her. He had to protect Jack now, because he had given his word and pledged his allegiance to the Bobby Wasabi dojo and now he couldn't fail them. If anything were to happen to Jack and Blaze wasn't there to protect him, Blaze might actually go on a rampage and destroy the woman without a second thought. He knew he couldn't allow Jack to know what a danger Mitsu is because he didn't want to scare him. Jack believed that Blaze would be able to handle her, and he wanted to keep it that way no matter what. He really cared what Jack thought of him, and he didn't know why. He usually didn't care about what people said and what people thought, but Jack was something different because he wanted him to only think good things of him. Blaze didn't know what the emotion of love actually was, and so he wasn't able to say if he was in love with Jack. He just wanted Jack to be close to him and for Jack to be safe.

"Blaze, are you okay? You look like you're about to go save the world or something," Eddie said waving his hand in front of Blaze's face causing him to snap back to reality.

"Save the world? It's a bit too late for that, Eddie," Blaze said softly and Eddie nodded in agreement. Blaze couldn't get the fact out of his head. He didn't know how Bobby knew he was there, and more importantly he didn't understand how his master knew he failed.

Blaze walked off and decided to head to his first period class a little bit early. His first class happened to be English, a class he would do well in. He sat down in a seat towards the back of the class room. He went over everything that happened that day. He first tried to assassinate Jack, but was interrupted by that annoying sensei Rudy. Then he tried to kill Jack, but was confronted by the Black Dragons and put them in the basement. Blaze's eyes widened as he realized what had happened. When they went down into the basement before Blaze remembered that the Black dragons where missing. They could've told both Bobby and Blaze thought they must have some connection to his master. He wondered who the true identities of the Black Dragons were, because he knew for a fact they weren't just karate people. He knew there was something off about the leader of the Black Dragons. He seemed too confident when they fought, and it was as if he purposely allowed himself to be defeated in order to confirm the identity of Blaze. Blaze had been hoodwinked and he didn't even notice it. The Black Dragons had been the ones to blow his cover. They were the reason he failed. Blaze's eyes widened even more as he came to another revelation. They were the one's too blow his cover and it was exactly what his master wanted. He sent them to blow his cover and then to kill him. His own master wanted him dead, but Blaze didn't know why.

"Blaze, you've got that look on your face again," Milton commented as Blaze snapped back to reality as he looked around.

"I just realized something," Blaze said.

"That you're in school?" Jerry said and everyone looked towards him with a look of disbelief, "What? It happens to me all the time."

"No, I knew I was in school, you idiot," Blaze said glaring at Jerry.

"I'm not an-," Jerry began before Blaze cut him off.

"The second time I tried to kill Jack I failed, because when I came into the dojo Jack went to go get a smoothie," Blaze began.

"And?" Kim said annoyingly and blaze gave her a look.

"I wasn't done, you bitch," Blaze said and Kim gasped as he couldn't believe he called her that, "Anyway, when I was in the dojo the Black Dragons came looking for all of you, but they didn't actually come to find you. They came to find me, but pretended like they stumbled into me. They antagonized me and egged me on so I would fight them. Not because their overly arrogant, even though they are, but because they had to clarify I was who they thought I was. The Black Dragons knew of my mission, because they have some connection to my master, but I am not sure what. Anyway, after beating them in battle I sensed that all of you were coming and I hid them in the basement. However, when I surrendered and we all went to the basement their bodies were gone. I wasn't sure how Bobby even found out I was there. I disabled the cameras and Jack was too scared to even admit something. Then it dawned on me. After I beat the shit out of the Black Dragons they went and found Bobby Wasabi and they told him of me and then he came and ambushed me. Knowing this they went to tell master I failed and thus they sent Mitsu. However, I had a question. How did they know of my mission? Why did Mitsu come? It was because my master from the start wanted me to fail and for Mitsu to kill me. You see my master wanted me done and out of the way, but the real question is why," Blaze said and they were all shocked, and none of them knew what to say.

"So, what you're saying is that your master sent you on a mission that he planned for you to fail and then planned for you to die afterwards?" Jack asked and Blaze smiled, because he was happy that someone actually understood it.

"Yes, exactly!" Blaze said happily and they all looked at each other and Blaze frowned, "What's the problem?"

"Well, that's good and all, but we can't just go and question them Blaze. If they're part of your master's organization they could probably destroy us. It's not like we don't want to help you Blaze, we really do, but we're just not sure how we can," Kim said and Blaze thought for a moment and smiled.

"During lunch, in a public forum, they won't try anything rash and even if Mitsu is there I'll get them to talk. Mitsu wasn't carrying a weapon last time we saw here," Blaze said and Jerry raised an eyebrow.

"Dude, how do you know she didn't have a hidden weapon?" Jerry said and Blaze rolled his eyes turning to Jerry.
"Your skepticism of my skills is really getting annoying, did you know that? I can almost instantly scan a person to see if they have any weapons on them, and she definitely didn't have any hidden weapons on her person. So, we have the upper hand for the fact that I have my trusty wooden sword with me," Blaze said and they didn't seem so sure.

"Alright, so during lunch we strike, right?" Jack asked.

"During lunch," Blaze replied.
