Chapter 12: The Director's Tough Fight
At Schubert's base, Schubert remembers Garuda after he disrupted his plans last night as well as his insults.
Flashback from Yesterday:
"I think yer plans are lay to waste, Schubert..."
"What?!"
Garuda appears as he watches them while having his arm crossed as he smirks to see his adversary get frustrated from his appearance.
"Schubert Reinrich... how dare ya messin' up with my grandson and my apprentice includin' the dreadlocks idiot?"
"What?! I know you, you're that man from the robotics exhibit. So you're behind in this charade for messing up my plans..."
"Your plans is to kill my friend, Disco. I know your practical motives. Killing business people is not enough to make yer big fortune into yer own greed. Looks like yer plans are far from over." Garuda said wanted to put an end of his assassination plot.
Flashback over:
"Tch... That Garuda is known for his great intelligence. I must stop him before I kill Secret Love in my own two hands." Schubert said to himself. "I think confronting him might be the only way to put an end of his charade. I need to see him being brutalize with my men, hahaha..."
Schubert had already made his mind set is to get rid of Garuda. But he is unaware that the camera lens is still lighted up as it zooms to Garuda's laptop and seeing that he was been targeted by him as he thought.
So you have intentionally want to beat the crap outta me, Schubert? You can't beat me at this rate if you had a chance.
The next day, both Rage and Retsu are in the coffee shop near in Ni-Na's flower shop and trying to detect the enemy's movements from his mini computer.
"Looks like these flunkies are going to take their next move?" Rage said while looking at Retsu's mini computer as Retsu replies.
"It is... but I wonder who's going to be targeted? Not just Disco but someone else."
Rage's communicator is ringing up as it glows on the red light as he quickly picks his right pocket from his blue gray camoflauge capris as he clicks the button and to see his grandfather's image.
"What is it, grandfather?"
"Sorry for contactin' ya, Reiji?" Garuda said apologizing. "I think Schubert wants to get rid of me after I detected his next motive."
"Hold on, if it's not Disco why even you, grandfather?" Rage said became worried to him.
"It must be the incident last night where they take Izam as a hostage." Garuda said knowing of his interference. "I wanted to see him face to face until he recognized me. I'm leavin' in EMTI to get back to my tower."
"Grandfather..."
"I'll be all right. You can go to the dome or stay in the liquor shop whatever ya want." Garuda said telling him.
"Wait, grandfather... you can't hung up...?" Rage said as Garuda cuts off their contact from his communicator as he raises his brow. "Dang, I have to go look for him."
"Is something wrong with Sir Garuda, Reiji?" Retsu asked as he answers.
"I didn't expect that he was targeted by Reinrich. I have to save him otherwise he's going to be killed."
"Oh crap?!"
"We gotta go..." With that both Rage and Retsu leaves the coffee shop as Ni-Na watches them knowing of the enemy's presence.
Meanwhile, Garuda finally leaves in EMTI and can sense the enemy's presence known to him. He knew Schubert tries to get rid of him before he can kill his friend, Disco.
I can't let ya kill my friend, Schubert? I do this to protect him even if I risk my life.
He arrives at the Port Bay near the abandoned warehouse as he continues to walk. Behind him, Rage, Retsu and Izam are trying to spy on him knowing that he was in danger.
"Retsu, why did you bring Izam with us?" Rage asked coldly as Retsu replies.
"I didn't bring him, Reiji. He just followed us while we go to the port."
"I was asked by Ni-Na to follow both of you here. I didn't expect you guys are following the old man." Izam said telling them.
"I'm really worried for my grandfather, Izam." Rage said while raising his brow. "I had no idea why he goes to the port? I can sense something will happen to him."
"Perhaps, we should find the old man. I can feel some bad vibes in that place." Izam suggested and Retsu noticed some black ops are here to followed Garuda.
"These operatives...? It seems that they're here to find Sir Garuda?"
"We have to save him, come on." Rage said as the trio followed suit to find his grandfather.
At the back of the abandoned warehouse, Garuda looked in both sides until he found Schubert who is watching him at the roof.
"This is the end of the road for you, Garuda. I know that you are very intelligent old man to figure out my motives." Schubert said and Garuda coldly replies.
"Don't get me wrong, Schubert. I already read yer motives."
"But, how did you know that?"
"I hate to tell ya, Schubert. Gettin' rid of me won't take me too long? Looks like you were terrified as a psycho crazed maniac, ain't ya." Garuda said smirking and Schubert was shocked on his intellectual prowess.
"You think I'm terrified... I brought something to get rid of you, Garuda." Schubert said as some of his black ops tried to attack him from behind.
Garuda manages to grapple one of the black ops and easily manage to defeat them one by one with a punch and a kick as one of the black ops tried to kill him with an knife but failed as he easily headbutts his opponent. Schubert was shocked to see him fighting despite his age.
"I can sense yer operatives are capable of killin' it's adversary, eh. I think yer attempts were ended up futile." Garuda said in a confident manner and Schubert was furious by this.
"Don't be so arrogant, Garuda. My men will definitely brutalize you, right here."
Garuda noticed some of Schubert's black ops are cornering him as he readied his stance knowing that this fight would hard and deadly as he thought.
Damn you, Schubert. You actually have a back up to beat me down. This ain't gonna be easy to kill me.
"You're finish, Garuda!" Schubert yells evilly until it was interrupted by the trio.
"Hold it right there, Reinrich!" Rage yelled angrily.
"What?! The young ingrates...!" Schubert exclaimed seeing the trio, Rage, Retsu and Izam who finally arrived in time to save Garuda.
"Grandfather, we'll take it from here. We can handle this?" Rage said convincing as Garuda refuses as he scolds him.
"Don't be an idiot, Reiji? These black ops are much dangerous than those men in black that you beat them out. I can handle this myself."
As black ops begin to charge at Garuda, Garuda finally displays his fighting abilities and techniques as he manages to punch one of them to the gut, kicking the other to the stomach and grappling the other to the ground. One of the black ops hits him with a knife but dodges as he headbutts to the head as he kicks to the face knocking him down much to the trio's surprise.
"Look at the old man go, he manage to hold these guys on his own." Izam complimented on Garuda's fighting prowess as Rage closes his eyes.
"..."
"Hey. You should be happy that your gramps can fight like you, Rage?" Izam said angrily as Rage tells them.
"Don't get mad at me, Izam? Didn't you know that my grandfather is a master of martial arts?"
"What? The old man is the master of martial arts? How is that possible?" Izam yelled shockingly.
"Despite he's both director and chief scientist in EMTI, he's extremely good on unarmed combat even he taught me how to fight when I was a kid." Rage explained. "That's when I learned a lot from him and always keep on watching martial arts matches to act just like him."
"Izam, I think you need to be prepared. Looks like Reinrich is getting up to his sleeve." Retsu said while looking on the mini computer and Izam is ready to prepare.
"Guess it's better to help the old man, Rage. I'm gonna kick some snipers out of here." Izam smirked as he goes to deal against Schubert's snipers.
With this, Garuda manages to defeat Schubert's men in time and was exhausted for a moment he defeats them.
"Huff huff... It seems that yer men are all down. You just makin' me a warm up." Garuda said in exhaustion as Schubert replies.
"Looks like your too vigilant to deal against my black ops. You don't aware that I had a trump card to kill you."
"What?!" Garuda said and knowing that he was gunpoint by one of his snipers while in a point blank range to his head. "Damn you, Schubert?!"
"This is the end of you, GARUDA!" Schubert yelled as he orders his sniper to kill him. Garuda angrily gritted his teeth knowing it's going to kill him as Rage quickly rush and tackles his grandfather to the ground as they avoid the gun shot but being grazed his right shoulder. Schubert realized this as Izam arrives and throws his frisbee on the sniper as it was knocked off the ground and Schubert was shocked by this. "Darn it, you young ingrates!"
"Reiji, why?" Garuda said sadly to his grandson as Rage calmly replies while handling his right injured shoulder which was grazed by the sniper bullet.
"Ungh...I'm okay, grandfather... It's just a scratch."
"Don't just stand there... get rid of those young ingrates as well as Garuda too." Schubert yells in frustration as more black ops are coming.
Both Rage and Garuda are ready to fight against the black ops despite the injury he sustained.
"Hey, Reiji... are ya sure yer gonna fight them? Even if you were injured." Garuda asked as Rage replies.
"I don't care if I get hurt too much, grandfather. But I won't let Reinrich to beat the crap out of you."
"You're still a brave man like you to save my life. I owe ya one, Reiji." Garuda smirked as more reinforcements charge at them as he yells. "Get ready, here they come!?"
When the song "Twilight Zone (R-C Extended Club Mix)" has been played. Both Rage and Garuda manage to dispatch most of Schubert's black ops as they use of their own fighting moves. Meanwhile, Retsu deals other of his men who were interfering of their fight while Izam hits all the snipers with both his boomerang and frisbee. Rage punches one of the black ops to the face as he lands a powerful kick on the other to the chest. Garuda beats them with a punch in a guy a spinning kick to the face and elbowing the other to the chest and knocks with a powerful punch. Schubert became dismayed to see his men are all beaten down.
"Garuda, I won't let you get away with this... I will be back!" Schubert yelled furiously in defeat as he quickly flees the scene.
Rage then clutches his right shoulder and Garuda knows that he was grazed from the sniper bullet as he helps him.
"Grandfather..."
"Don't feel uneasy, Reiji. At least yer save my life." Garuda smirked nicely and both saw Izam and Retsu arrive after they managed to subdue Schubert's men.
That night at Garuda's tower, Rage finally treats his right shoulder injury by his grandfather after he got grazed by a sniper bullet while saving him from being shot and he was seen in shirtless while resting his grandfather's bed while spending the night without his parents' knowledge. Garuda was contacted by Disco and knowing that he's coming back to Japan. He realizes that Schubert will come after him if he goes back as he thought.
Disco, it will be dangerous for ya to get back here?
As the doorbell sounds, Rage looked on and to see visitors who wanted to see his grandfather as he stands up and goes for the door to open and it reveals to be Maho, Baby-Lon and Janet who were visiting both himself and his grandfather, Garuda.
"Hi Rage, how's your injury doing?" Janet asked nicely.
"Hi Janet and Maho, my injury is fine. I only got grazed by a sniper bullet." Rage smiled and Maho knows sniper bullets are pretty dangerous as she tells him.
"Rage, didn't you know that sniper bullets are pretty dangerous? It will kill you if you get a head shot by that."
"Hi girls... I never expect that both of you to be here, Gahahaha..." Garuda smiled blushing as he laughs and Rage raising his brow at him.
"Grandfather, you never changed haven't you...? You maybe a stubborn old man who can beat many people with your own two fists. But you always keep on wooing on other girls."
"Hahaha... even you have a girlfriend, Reiji. I can peep whenever I want and you will..." Garuda laughed maniacally until Rage kicks intensively to his butt knocking out of his tower. "Urgh, no respect...?"
"So Maho told me the whole thing about what you did in Okinawa? You're totally an old pervert?!" Rage said angrily to his grandfather.
"Don't call me a pervert, Reiji? You don't know how angrier I am?!" Garuda said angrily to his grandson as both ends up having a fistfight much to both Maho and Janet's surprise. Therefore, Retsu and Beechum arrive to visit them and noticed both of them are fighting with small things.
"Looks like Sir Garuda is having a fistfight with Rage, Retsu?" Beechum said and Retsu replies.
"Well I think Reiji tries to correct Sir Garuda for being a pervert."
With that both continues to watch them brawling outside the tower at night.
