Chapter 15: Night Raid in the Verse Resthouse

At Schubert's base, Schubert was furious after seeing his plan is always foiled knowing that Rage and the group are managed to disperse his men.

"Curse those young ingrates...? How dare they foiling my plans?" Schubert gritted his teeth after seeing his men were defeated. "Garuda must have been rendezvous with them. I know for sure..."

At Garuda's laptop, Garuda is watching how Schubert is losing impatience and he thought.

How unfortunate that you tried to kill my friend, Schubert? But this time, I will shut ya down until the last drop.

As he watches one of Schubert's men arrived to see him and Schubert tries to keep his pace.

"Sir, we discovered that Disco takes ahead at the Berth's resthouse." One of Schubert's men said and Schubert smirks.

"Good... I want you to disperse him. I'm sure of it... Just make sure if the young ingrates would definitely make their move, understand."

"Yes, sir..."

When Schubert finally ordered his men, Garuda still watches from his laptop after hearing of his orders, he finally decides to go to the Berth's resthouse as he thought.

Now, I'm gettin' fired up, Schubert... I guess this time I'm gonna take things seriously...

At EMTI, both Rage and Retsu came to see Garuda at the Director's office. As they visited, they saw only Liana and Princess Zukin.

"Hi boys... Do you like my homemade cookies?" Princess Zukin happily said while handling the tray with baking cookies.

"Sorry, Princess Zukin... We're not gonna eat today." Rage smiled while apologizing as Retsu asks Liana.

"Um, Ms. Liana... Do you know where Sir Garuda is?"

"He was here a while ago tries to watch his laptop everyday. He told me that he goes to the Berth's resthouse."

"Hmm... he went to Yuni's place? How is that possible?" Rage said as he thinks of something and he realizes of his plan. "I think he's discuss something to Yuni about the school festival just like he visits Alice's place."

"I'm not so sure what you mean, Reiji?" Retsu said as he tells him. "Maybe we should go to Yuni's place and find out."

"You're probably right..." Rage said as he leaves while Retsu gets a piece of Princess Zukin's homemade cookies.

"Your cookies is great, it's delicious..." Retsu commented nicely as he follows Rage.

"Wow... I just love some compliments..." Princess Zukin smiled excitedly and Liana shakes her head in disappointment.

At Berth's rest house, most of the guards are guarding the gate as both Rage and Retsu sees this.

"Sheez, Yuni's place is heavily guarded."

"Akira told me about this. Whenever you get into her house, these bouncers are heavily armed." Retsu said as he snobbishly teases him. "Guess that you need to watch your bad temper, Reiji?"

"Just shut your mouth, Retsu...? You're pretty snobby?" Rage said raising his brow.

When the two finally goes to the gate they knew that they recognized as Yuni's friends as they enter the gate. Her resthouse is the same as her mansion and knowing her place is different than in her mansion.

"This is pretty weird, how come those bodyguards knew us?" Rage said as he scratches his head as Retsu tells him.

"I think someone actually told them to let us in."

Retsu sensed someone is following them as he saw Akira charges him quickly as he grabs his right arm and grapples him to the ground much to Rage's surprise as he comments.

"Now that's judo?"

"Akira, what's with you...? You think we're the enemies out here?" Retsu reacted angrily as Akira apologizes.

"Sorry... I was just carried away to think you two are the enemies in here."

"You should be careful on your grappling moves, Akira. Perhaps, I can beat you anytime as possible." Rage angrily warned as Retsu scolds him.

"Don't get too confident, Reiji? He's in our side despite his towering height. You know how taller he is?"

"Oh yeah... he's five inches taller than me while you are just two inches." Rage said and became dismayed knowing that he was smaller than both of them as Akira tells them.

"Since you came in Yuni's rest house. The dance king and Professor Garuda are here to discuss something. That's why the bodyguards let both of you pass. Please, come in..."

As they arrived at the rest house, both are seen Garuda and Disco are talking to Yuni as they discuss something.

"I see so Japan Day would be great. I want to go there once I sneak away again." Yuni smiled excitedly as Disco tells her.

"It would be fun if you go there, Yuni."

"I just can't believe it..." Retsu said as he lowers his head.

"They all came here just to discuss about the upcoming Japan Day, this is getting suck...?" Rage said in disappointment as Garuda noticed them as he laughs.

"I never thought you two followed me here, Gahahaha..."

"For crying out loud, grandfather...? Why are you here in Yuni's place?" Rage said angrily to his grandfather.

"Well I'll tell ya later, Reiji. Both Disco and Yuni are here to know about the upcoming Japan Day's festival in EMTI." Garuda said smirking.

"Yuni, you're not allowed to get out of the resthouse? You even try to irritate me when you sneak out." Akira said lecturing her as Yuni became bratty to her bodyguard.

"Why do you always have to lecture me again, Akira?"

"That's his job, Yuni." Retsu smiled happily. "You need to cooperate him for the time being."

"Grr!"

That night outside of the Berth's resthouse, Garuda finally assembles his grandson, Rage, Retsu and Akira which are the protecting members of the DDR City. He knows the enemy's next motive.

"So anyway, grandfather... you need to tell us why are you here in Yuni's place?" Rage said seriously as Garuda seriously replies.

"I came here in her place because of Schubert. I heard his next motive is to kill Disco in anywhere he's goin'."

"Who's Schubert, Professor Garuda?" Akira asked in a well toned of his voice. "I saw you in his disco party who is not dancing like we do?"

"I was a spectator in his disco party, ya know." Garuda said telling him. "Schubert Reinrich is the founder of Eagle Eye Organization who's motive is to kill his victims with a large sum of money by assassinatin' them at purpose."

"What?!"

"He's telling the truth, Akira. That guy plans to kill Disco because of his vast fortune. I never thought Sir Garuda actually know his motives." Retsu replied as Rage tells him.

"You gotta believe us, Akira. Those guys that we beat are his men and his snipers. These guys are hired by him to kill the dance king."

"I see... so that's why you, Retsu, Izam and Spike are not around in the party." Akira said finally knows of their actions as he pulls out his handgun from his holster coming to his waist. "You're trying to fight against these assassins. Now I realize the respected disco king is in danger. I would help both of you, no matter what."

"Akira, don't use yer handgun otherwise, Yuni would hear the gunshots?" Garuda warned as he calmly replies.

"Not to worry, I have something rather than the handgun. I know for sure I could protect Yuni from any disputes and conflicts especially the true dance king himself."

"All right, Akira is gonna hit the snipers and other men in black suits disguised as marshalls in this resthouse while Retsu is with him to target and detect the enemy's presence and Reiji, you're gonna distract the enemy with yer dance moves."

"Huh? Why I'm the one who's gonna distract the enemy?" Rage said angrily raising his brow.

"You're a street dancer, right? That way you would knock these guys in a close range." Garuda said telling him. "Ya maybe good on break dancing but it also uses to distract the enemy. With that, you would knocked them out with yer fighting skills whenever they charged on ya."

"Grandfather, what about you?"

"Don't worry, I will watch both Disco and Yuni if anythin' happens here inside. You three will deal against Schubert's cronies." Garuda said as he gives Retsu a visor.

"What's this, Sir Garuda?"

"It's a visor one of my best inventions that I made. I called it the Sensor type: Target Snipe Detector. That invention is very sensitive to detect the enemy's prescence as well as it will directly targets them with a relative ease. With this you can execute it by pointing the enemy's target location so that Akira will shoot the enemy directly.

"Wow... now that's a dangerous gadget..." Retsu said in excitement.

"Okay, now get ready you three... This will be a night ambush." Garuda said as he goes back inside the resthouse.

At the rooftop, Retsu wears the visor as he tested it and it works. Akira was finally armed and prepared and instead of using the normal gun he will use the Silencer gun.

"Wow... I can see the direct targets and it can move itself too." Retsu said as Akira tells him.

"Be careful, Retsu...? You might get fall on the roof."

"Sorry..." Retsu said apologizes and ask. "So you're gonna use the handgun?"

"It's looks different than my handgun, Retsu. I'm going to use the Silencer gun." Akira answered nicely while smirking.

Retsu's mini computer has been lighted up as he gets from his right pocket on his khaki pants as it clicks and to see Rage's image on the monitor.

"Reiji, what is it?"

"The enemy is already here... You need to get ready. I saw those guys are posing as Yuni's bodyguards...?" Rage warned and Akira knows the enemy's disguises.

"Professor Garuda was right... they are disguising as bodyguards like I am."

"Okay, it's time to take them down at point blank range..." Retsu said finally showing his confidence and both he and Akira are ready to deal against Schubert's men in disguise.

All of Schubert's men disguised as one of Yuni's bodyguards to get inside of her resthouse. When the song "exotic ethnic" has been played, Some of Schubert's men watched at Rage who is dancing with street dancing manuevers. Without warning, Akira shoots them with the Silencer gun to their heads, killing them. Retsu manages to target directly to the enemy which are the snipers who are prepared to shoot Disco by their sniper rifles.

"Akira, shoot that tree branch."

"I saw that..." Akira then shoots the tree branch with the Silencer gun as the sniper was knocked off the ground, unconscious.

Other of Schubert's men noticed to see this havoc and knowingly it was a quiet ambush and they look at Rage who is dancing with break dance moves.

"Hey...! You're that leader with those young ingrates!" One of Schubert's men exclaims as Rage angrily smirks.

"Sorry guys... but you're all going down...!"

Some men in black suits finally remove their disguises as the black ops and they charged on Rage who is break dancing as the song changes into "Centre of the Heart (Stonebridge Club Mix)". He smirks as he avoids their attacks showing his agility and athleticism as he switches his break dance moves to his Lightning Kickboxing fighting style as he quickly dispatches them with his powerful kicks and his punches from his various martial arts moves using Karate. Akira finally shoots directly to the enemy's head several times by the help of Retsu's visor. Meanwhile, Yuni tries to sneak away in the resthouse but seeing most of the corpses of Schubert's men and she was scared by this.

"Eeek...? I need to get back in my resthouse... This place like a zombie outbreak... AHHHHH!"

Rage continues to dispatch most of them and he saw two black ops are climbing on the other side to infiltrate the resthouse. Retsu finally removes his visor and looking at his mini-computer seeing that two black ops left and seeing that they are climbing on the wall. Akira then gets the rope as Retsu catches it and ties to his waist as he goes down the roof while he grips the rope to pull him out as he takes rapelling on the wall. Two black ops are watching both Disco and Garuda are talking as they intend to use the handgun to shoot Disco's head. Behind them, Retsu knocks them both of their heads without warning as they fall on the ground as Rage watches.

"Nice work, Retsu... you did it..." Rage gladly smiles and Retsu smiles at him but it hurts his waist due to the rope grip.

"Akira, can you pull me over now? It's hurting my waist!" Retsu reacted as Akira replies while pulling him over the ropes.

"Sure... no problem..."

Inside the resthouse, Garuda watches on his laptop and seeing Schubert was angrily losing impatience over their failures as he laughs maniacally in delight. After the incident, they eat dinner in Yuni's resthouse and they were happy of their success.

"Gee... that's a nice food they have here." Rage smiled happily.

"Sir Garuda... I just can't believe that you were watching us the whole time?" Retsu nods as Garuda tells him.

"That visor I gave ya is connected to my laptop which means I can watch you and Akira dealin' against Schubert's men. I almost forgot to tell ya about that."

"Say Garuda... what are you playing on your laptop?" Disco asked as he answers while pretending.

"Actually, I was just playin' some online gaming, Disco."

Rage knows why his grandfather tries his best to pretend as nothing happened as he thought.

I guess it's better to keep this to Disco... I know for sure he would be shock after we tell him about this...

Back at Schubert's base, Schubert remains impatient after his men failed to infiltrate the resthouse and seeing that Rage and the group are responsible. One of his assassins came to see him and he appears as tall and bulkier bald man in a black formal suit.

"I heard you called me, boss..."

"Yes, Rupert... I want you to dispatch one of the young ingrates who leads his group to deal against my men." Schubert said ordering him as he accepts his mission.

"Yes sir... and who is he?"

Schubert got a picture after the incident in the resthouse as he gives it to Rupert.

"This man leads his group who disperses my men, I want you to obliterate him."

"I'm on it..." Rupert said following Schubert's orders as he takes his leave from his office.

Rupert looked on the picture and it reveals that his main target was Rage who beats most of Schubert's black ops while guarding the Yuni's resthouse along with Akira and Retsu.
