Chapter 2: Izam Returns
A unknown enemy base is surrounded with a red soil with few black ops are guarding the gates. Two men in black suits reported about what happened on their mission is to assassinate Secret Love perhaps known as Disco.
"Sir... we didn't manage to kill him in time."
"There's some two young men are dispatching most of our men, sir..."
"Hmmm... how unfortunate?" The man said as half of his face is shown. He is known as Schubert Reinrich, the founder of the Eagle Eye Organization and the mastermind behind the assassinations few years ago. "It seems that those two ingrates are proved to be a distraction for us. Don't let me down and kill him before these ingrates are here for a beat down."
"Yes sir..." One of the men in black suits said as they salute and leave. Schubert has already killed many people by hiring assassins or killers to kill their targets. He knew something going within after hearing about the two young men.
So these two young ingrates are bunch of delinquents I see... Now let's see if you can manage to beat my men with a different sense of battle strategy...
The next day in EMTI at the Student Council's office, Retsu is playing a 3-D space pinball game as both Rage and Beechum are watching him. (He now wears his 5thMIX outfit as it shows his black short sleeve shirt while wearing this outfit as his iconic dark red hoodie jacket is been tied on his waist.) Retsu was frustrated as he wanted to beat the whole pinball game.
"Urgh... I have to beat this game...? I don't want to failed this."
"That's Retsu... if it comes to the game he plays? He is very focused by it." Beechum stated as Rage replies while having his arm crossed as he closes his eyes.
"That game he plays is just like Johnny. What a boring game?"
"Enough of the comments, both of you! I can't concentrate because of your ramblings...!" Retsu shouted as he saw the third ball falls on the center of the hole as the game is over making him devastated. "Wahhhh?! I don't believe this I lost...?!"
"You need to calm down, Retsu. It's only just a game. I never thought you got plenty of high scores on that." Beechum smiled trying to calm him down as Rage steps in.
"We have to discuss this on how to deal against "The Eagle Eye". Can we go now?"
"...All right then... time to hit the sack." Retsu sighed as he fixes his dark green long sleeve shirt and goes with Rage as Beechum was surprised by their development.
At the coffee shop near Ni-Na's flower shop both are discussing about the Eagle Eye Organization and finding the information about them as Retsu looked on his mini-computer.
"So these flunkies we beat yesterday were a high-profile assassins." Rage nodded as Retsu replies.
"Yes they are...? That is why we saw them wielding their sniper rifles. Their leader is Schubert Reinrich the founder of it's organization."
"This old man looks ruthless to me. He seems to have a sinister agenda against Disco." Rage coldly remarks on Schubert's image and appearance as Ni-Na arrives to see them.
"Are you talking about Mr. Disco?"
"Sup, Ni-Na... I didn't expect that you were here...?"
"I just sprinkle the flowers in my shop and I heard your discussing something about some organizations." Ni-Na answered in a nod.
"Usually we were discussing about how to deal against this organization and it's a dangerous mission for us." Retsu said nicely.
"By the way, I heard you and Izam are travelling around in different countries since you never competed in the 5th competition." Rage said calmly as Ni-Na calmly replies.
"We were just settling down after the city was devastated by a fused monster. I know my fiance is pretty busy on his works after all the mess."
"Well well... I never thought Rage would be here in the coffee shop yet again...?" the man said in arrogance as both Rage and Retsu recognized his voice as Izam appears in front of them.
"Well, if isn't Izam. I thought you're pretty busy on your works." Rage grunted as Izam remarks.
"You haven't changed after you lost in the 4th competition. You're still the hot tempered guy who does not accept defeat."
"What the hell did you just said to me?!" Rage angrily said as Izam angrily comments.
"I was saying that you're a loser, Rage."
Both were gritted their teeth angrily as Retsu stops them.
"Stop it, both of you...? There's no time for arguing and some useless fights, It's pointless...?" Retsu said scolding on both of them.
"Hiya, Retsu... never thought you would be here too, hehe..." Izam smiled scarily as Rage sighs as he put his right hand in disappointment.
"...If it comes to Retsu, you're so nice. If it comes to me, you're very abrasive."
"Don't even dare calling me abrasive...?"
"True... you keep on saying bad comments about me and anyone else." Rage said raising his brow.
"Grr...?" Izam gritted and Retsu can't help it but being a moderator to both hot tempered guys as he laughed.
Therefore, both saw Disco, Garuda and Janet are walking down the city streets and simply goes to the restaurant.
"Is that the old man and the Disco King too...?" Izam pointed out the trio as Rage noticed that his grandfather treats both of them for lunch.
"That figures, I guess the three of them are having lunch. Come on, Retsu, let's follow them for a while."
When both Rage and Retsu leave, Izam was angrily frustrated on both of them.
"Hey? You can't just leave without even telling me?"
"I think they are pretty busy on spying, Izam." Ni-Na smiled to her fiance. "Come to think of it? They are trying to protect Mr. Disco by those guys."
Izam looked behind him and sees some men in black suits and they are pursuing Disco in order to be assassinated.
"Ni-Na... I think your pointing out something are those men in black? You mean to say is...?"
"This must be what Rage and Retsu are dealing with..." Ni-Na said sensing the enemy's prescence as she tells Izam to help them. "Despite you hated Rage so much, you need to help them."
Meanwhile, both Rage and Retsu are spying on his grandfather, Disco and Janet at the restaurant and he was seen finally put his dark red jacket back on as they eavesdropping on their conversation while hiding on the right side of the wall.
"Oh come on, Janet. That festival is fun." Disco said in a funky tone of his voice as Janet replies.
"I can't Disco... I have lots of things to do. Trying to observe the construction of our swanky hotel in my home country."
"Just let her be, Disco. She and Tracy are havin' a lot of time in Jamaica." Garuda said telling him.
"By the way, Garuda. I heard some noises going on in the night while me and Janet are having a window shopping." Disco said knowingly about what happened last night.
"Noises?"
"Yeah... Some noises are crashing down in the garbage somewhere in their backyard." Disco said as both continues their conversation and both Rage and Retsu noticed their actions last night.
"I think they were talking about that we beat these flunkies last night."
"Yeah... but he does not know that these guys we beat are trying to assassinate him."
Both continues to hide until they are seen coming out of the restaurant.
"Thanks for the lunch, Garuda. What are you going to do afterward?" Disco smiled thankfully.
"Goin' back to EMTI, of course. I know I have to observe the students in the institute." Garuda answered as both Disco and Janet leave. Therefore, he saw his grandson and Retsu are spying on them.
I never thought Reiji and Retsu are here...?
Rage and Retsu saw the men in black suits are pursuing Disco while he's walking with Janet.
"Come on, we have to go after them?" Rage said determined to protect Disco as both went after them until his grandfather confronts them.
"Are ya spyin' on us, Reiji?" Garuda said while putting both hands on his hip as his brow has been raised. "I didn't expect a brave man like you would chasin' after Disco."
"Uh... Grandfather... I didn't expect that you would be here..." Rage smiled scarily to his grandfather.
"Ya need to tell me what's goin' on? Why did ya keep on chasin' Disco? Is there something goin' on...?" Garuda said in a serious voice and became suspicious to them as Retsu backs him up.
"Well, sir... I'll hang out with Reiji for a while, see ya." Retsu smiled as he quickly dragged Rage with his right hand as Garuda quickly attached a tracking device on the back of his hoodie jacket while being dragged away by him.
"...What a drag?" Garuda sighed as he giggles for a moment he sticks a tracking device on Rage which is one of his inventions. "I need to test that invention that I made. I wonder how it works...?"
After running away from Garuda, Rage breathed sign of relief as he thanked Retsu for dragging him.
"Now that was a close call, thanks..."
"It's all right... Looks like Sir Garuda became suspicious of us." Retsu said as he closes his eyes in relief.
"Come on, we have to beat these idiots in a bloody smack." Rage said seriously as he clenches his fists and both pursued the men in black suits who are trying to assassinate Disco.
When Disco and Janet are looking for some shops as they enter the grocery store. One of the men in black suits are gunpointing at him using the sniper rifle as it point blank on his target.
"This is it...?"
"Hey there...?" Rage angrily yelled on one of the men in black suits as he raises his right fist. "Think that you're going to kill Disco, you got another thing coming?"
Rage then knocks the man with a knee and goes for a powerful spinning kick on the chest sending him falling into the garbage. Retsu deals each of them with both punches and kicks. Rage does the same and they manage to defeat them in a process. When they get out of the building, there's another man tries to gunpoint at Disco with a sniper rifle and they became devastated by this.
"Damn it, there's another one...?" Rage said angrily gritted his teeth.
"He's on the 3rd floor..." Retsu pointed out until someone throw a boomerang on the sniper as it falls on the building. Much to their surprise, Izam arrives to help them.
"Hey you two... You need a hand...?" Izam said smirking while handling his boomerang as Rage noticed his actions.
"Izam... how did you know we were here?"
"I'll tell you later, Rage. I need to hit these guys with just a single hit." Izam then throws a boomerang on each snipers in the building who are trying to kill Disco with a sniper rifle and he also uses a back up weapon which is a frisbee hitting the other sniper on the head to knock them down.
After that, Disco and Janet finally went out of the grocery store with full of groceries in their paper bags.
"Gee thanks for helping me, Janet." Disco said thankfully.
"It was a pleasure, Disco. You surely need those food supplies." Janet said nicely as both are walking away.
Rage, Retsu and Izam watches them walking away after dealing against Schubert's men and it's assassination group.
"So tell me, Izam... Why did you help us out? Even though you and I hated each other when we're always getting in an argument?" Rage asked while raising his brow.
"Just like old times when we are dealing against that Kaiser dude." Izam said as he smirks. "I was told by Ni-Na to help you and Retsu fight these guys."
"Ni-Na?"
"Guess that she's good on sensing the enemy." Retsu said became impressed on Ni-Na's actions.
"I was initially not going to help you. But I became reluctant when I saw these guys are after Mr. Disco." Izam explained. "Ni-Na had already told me about these guys that you beat."
"I'm glad you made it in time, Izam." Rage said as he raises his brow. "If it wasn't for you and Disco is gonna get killed by them?"
"Rage, how come there's a device on your back and it's lighted up the whole time?" Izam nodded as he points the tracking device that his grandfather Garuda sticks on the back of his jacket.
"What? Wh...Where's the device?" Rage said as he became desperate to find the tracking device on his back as Retsu noticed the device.
"I think that's no ordinary tracking device. This is different?"
"It's gonna explode...?" Izam said scarily as Rage was blown by the tracking device as he ended up in dirt and bruises and his clothes are in tatters.
"..."
"It's an explosive tracking device..." Retsu said knowing that someone who invented this device.
"That figures... you know who made that?" Izam wondered as Rage begins to lose his temper as he angrily raises his brow.
"I know someone would do that?"
Back in EMTI, Liana Koizuma, the vice principal of EMTI appears to scold on Garuda who was responsible making an explosive tracking device.
"Garuda? How come you put that dangerous invention on your grandson? Do you have any idea how dangerous you put him down?"
"I just test my invention how it works, Liana..." Garuda smiled as he remembers by the time Rage was dragged by Retsu for a getaway he puts a device at the back of his jacket. "That invention that I made is an Explosion Tracker: Type 2."
One of the students tries to warn Garuda that Rage is here to see him and becomes afraid of him.
"..."
"Hi Reiji, why are ya here at my office?" Garuda said nicely as Rage angrily loses his temper towards him as he yells.
"Grandfather... I'll get you for this, you old JACKASS!"
With that, both ended up brawling inside the director's office in front of Liana as Garuda pleads to calm him down. Outside in EMTI, Izam and Retsu are watching them in the window of the director's office as they heard both Rage and Garuda's voice while they are brawling inside the office.
"Whoa... I've never seen Rage is very angry before." Izam said shockingly on Rage's personality development as Retsu smiles making him get angry. "Why are you so smiling about, Retsu?"
"The most thing that Reiji hates is being Sir Garuda's guinea pig." Retsu stated with a half-smile on his face.
"What? You mean...?"
"Sir Garuda already did that when he lured Rage to his deadly inventions. That's why his bad temper was inflicted by him." Retsu explained as both he and Izam continued to watch them brawling each other inside the director's office.
Trivia:
*Izam's fighting style is Self-Defense with Throwing Weapons.
*Aside on Rage's dislikes of chores in his family liquor shop, he also hates both injustice and being his grandfather's test subject to his deadly inventions this makes him on a rampage.
A/N: Seems like more enemies are about to come in the next chapter. Afroken from his animated shorts is set to make his guest appearance on my next chapter, See ya.
