Chapter 23: Tough Fight: The End of the Eagle Eye

Garuda then noticed Schubert is still standing but tries to kill Disco with his handgun as they noticed him to kill him, he tackles Disco to the ground.

"Disco, WATCH OUT!"

Schubert finally pulls the trigger from his handgun as he shoots Garuda to his back knocking him down and both Rage, Izam, Spike, Retsu and Alice are shocked to see him.

"Oh, Professor!"

"Grandfather?!"

"Garuda, are you all right? Agh, you're hurt?!" Disco became shocked to see Garuda was hurt from his back due to being shot and Schubert noticed his heroic actions as he berates them.

"How pitiful that you tried to save him from being shot with my gun? Perhaps, I will kill both you with my gun to both of your heads?"

"Reinrich, don't you dare to hurt them both!?" Retsu angrily yelled as Alice hides at her back not wanted to see them hurt as Rage finally loses his temper after seeing his grandfather been shot by him similar to the ones that John Krueger shot him to his shoulders as he angrily states.

"That's far enough, you bastard. You're trying to kill the dance king and now you hurt my grandfather. I won't let you get away with this!"

"Rage, don't do it?! He's gonna kill you?!" Izam angrily warns his rival as Rage angrily charged at Schubert which he attempts to shoot him with his handgun three times as he quickly manages to dodge the shots as he disarmed him and angrily punch him to the face and unleashes a barrage of blows with two punches and an uppercut and he knocks him in a little distance with a powerful kick and blasted him into the backstage wall with a final straight punch onto the back entrance outside, rendering him knock unconscious in a debris of the broken walls.

Rage becomes exhausted after defeating Schubert and ended his reign of terror to his organization for harming innocent people as he comes into his grandfather's aid.

"Grandfather, are you all right? We're gonna take you to an ambulance?"

"Ugh... I'm all right... Reiji? Ya think that I would die because I got shot?" Garuda said smirking as he angrily raise his brow and he cries in anguish.

"Grandfather, don't even say such things...? You actually save Disco from being killed. Now stop talking or you're gonna die at this rate."

"Sir Garuda...?" Retsu said sadly calling his name as Izam felt sad to see them.

"Old man...?"

"Garuda... you shouldn't talk too much? Or else your gunshot wound will be worsen?" Disco said worried to his friend as Garuda scolds them both.

"Don't ever make me worried about me, you two? I'm not dead just yet, ya know?"

Garuda finally show to them from his back where it was shot by Schubert and underneath his costume, he wore a bulletproof vest which proves to both Disco and Rage that he's still alive.

"You wore a bulletproof vest, Garuda? You have to tell me before the play had started?" Disco said giving to his frustrations.

"Grandfather... you need to inform us about it not to keep us in secret? You're making us worried?!" Rage said angrily to his grandfather as he apologizes them.

"Sorry that I didn't tell ya, both of you. I wear this just in case if I get shot by any firearms. Since Schubert has a handgun, I know for sure he's gonna kill me when I save Disco from being hit."

"Wow... I guess the old man is still brave as ever." Izam smiled in amusement as Alice smiles to see them all right.

"At least, he's all right. I'm so happy for him."

"Sir Garuda, you done it for Disco." Retsu said happily to the director and mentor as Spike whistles to his bravery.

After the incident when the song "Let the beat hit em!(CLASSIC R&B STYLE)" has been played, a badly beaten Schubert has been taken inside the ambulance before being taken in custody as well as to be deported back to Germany for all the crimes that he commited to his organization and was later declined by the United Nations. Garuda watches him being taken away while Disco is behind him finally thanking him for saving his life.

"Garuda, I'd like to thank you for saving me. Now I finally realize these strange noises comes from a beating from your grandson and his friends. You should inform me about the whole thing not even trying to keep secrets from me."

"You even exposed our secrets, Disco. But ya definitely recognizes Schubert from the beginning." Garuda said smirking while sipping a can of soda.

"All this time you've been aiding your grandson and his friends to deal Schubert Reinrich? I should have known!" Disco said finally gives in to his frustrations as he smiles. "But I was lucky to be alive. If I'm dead, I'm sure everyone is gonna cry without me."

"I guess the theater play is all disrupted after Schubert interferes the last and final act. Tomorrow it would be another theater play to suit the audience." Garuda said while closing his eyes.

"I have a suggestion, Garuda. How about if you become the main character in that play? You know being a veteran swordsman who also plays an electric guitar." Disco said smiling.

"Sounds like a good idea, Disco. I think we can do that tomorrow. I'm sure all the students would be amazed." Garuda smiled nicely.

When Disco and Garuda are having a conversation, Rage watches them who finally cools his head off after the incident and becomes relieved as Retsu came to see him.

"Looks like you cool your head off, Reiji."

"Yeah... After that bastard Reinrich really get my head exploded." Rage said calmly as Izam came to see them both.

"It seems that your head just explode after you knock Reinrich down in a bloody pulp. You actually whooping his butt the whole time."

"Since Reinrich is already down for the count? I guess that I can beat you in a dance contest this time." Rage said smirking as his rival Izam gritted angrily by this.

"Alright, now I can outdance you anyway or another? I know for sure your temper will explode again if you lose that contest."

"Say that word again, Izam? Otherwise, I will beat you down to win that dance contest?"

When the two keeps bickering about who's going to win in the dance contest as Retsu became dismayed to see them fighting as Spike came to see them.

"It seems that those two still keep fighting for small things. What do you think, Retsu?"

"Oh well... guess that I had no choice for those two...?" Retsu smiled while giggling as Garuda calls them.

"Hey boys... come over here?"

Rage and the group finally came to see them as Disco tries to scold them for keeping secrets from him in the very beginning.

"Next time, boys... No more secrets. I hate to see any people like Garuda to keep any secrets."

"Thanks... I'll make sure never to make any secrets again." Rage said angrily thanked him as Garuda tells him.

"Don't feel being agitated, Reiji. Ya really did to save us after I get hurt, Gahahaha!"

"Well if isn't the dance king and Garuda. Did you have fun in the festival?" Maho said while carrying her son Baby-Lon while wearing a light blue kimono and Alice is with her.

"We're enjoying the festival, Maho and you're pretty gorgeous on that kimono that you were wearing." Garuda answered smiling as Disco gives his camera to her.

"Uh... is it okay if you take a picture with me, Garuda and his friends here?"

"Sure, I guess..." Maho smiled nicely finally accepts to take their pictures as she put Baby-Lon down and Alice wants to go with them.

"I'll go with you, guys."

"All right, everyone... Say dance!" Disco said as everyone yells.

"DANCE!"

Maho finally clicks the button of Disco's camera as it zooms into the photo between, Garuda, Disco, Rage, Retsu, Izam, Spike and Alice when the full version of the song True (Radio Edit) has been played. Emi was relieved to see her boyfriend is having a good time in the Japan Day festival since it was the time she has to go back to Tokyo with her family.

"Hey, Emi... we are waiting for you?" Walt shouted as Emi tells him.

"Okay, I'm coming..."

I can't wait to go to the festival tomorrow. Especially when Rage is having good time in there too, hee hee...


It shifts back to Jamaica where the Lyze cousins, Tracy and Janet are watching their swanky hotel to be renovated.

"What?! You mean that you refused to go to that festival? The theater play was fun, you know." Tracy reacted (She wears her 4thMIX outfit) as Janet replies.

"Disco had already told me before. I heard your partner Boldo joins in the theater play."

"Yeah... that's what I've heard about him. He says that he's gonna take on a deadly nemesis of the veteran musician turned samurai." Tracy nodded as Janet was shocked by this.


It shift back to the coffee shop near in Ni-Na's flower shop, Dread-Snake is seen pretty busy on his laptop after seeing the news about the Eagle Eye Organization has been decline by the United Nations due to the assassination killings they made in the past 25 years. He smirks to see that Rage has already grown as well as his leadership as he closes his laptop and leaves the coffee shop while Ni-Na noticed him walking away.


It zooms back into tonight's festival where more stalls are in the campus in EMTI where Yuni keeps buying most of the street food due to her love of junk food as Charmy came to see them.

"Charmy, I didn't know you were here too?" Yuni nodded as she replies.

"Of course I'm here... I finally made a time off in the pizza shop for this festival. I can't wait to enjoy this."

"How about we can play some mini games in here? I'm sure you would like it." Yuni happily suggested as Charmy agrees.

Outside, we can see both of their male partners, Astro and Akira as Astro noticed the costume he was wearing.

"Hey tall guy...? Seems like you can't get in because of the rules, huh?"

"I could enter the festival if I can because my obligation. But right now, I need to guard Yuni from any conflicts." Akira replied while having his arm crossed as Astro recognizes his costume.

"Hold on a minute, that costume you were wearing? Aren't you cosplaying as Hajime Saito from the Samurai X cartoon show?"

"Well... I'm not a fan of this cartoon show. I wear this so that I can enter the festival." Akira answered as he smiles with a comment. "Seems that you're the only guy who cannot enter without a Japanese costume?"

When Akira leaves to find Yuni at the festival, Astro becomes devastated to his comment as he angrily yells.

"Hey. don't make comments about me, tall guy?! My costume that I usually wear is a "Metal Hero type" and is considered this as a Japanese costume?!"


Now it zooms back to the theater play at the EMTI's auditorium, where Disco as the emperor who sends the veteran ronin with an electric guitar which he was seen gritted his teeth with both of his hands shake as Garuda came to see him as the Japanese version of a Six String Samurai.

"Emperor, did ya called me?"

"Oh thank goodness... Sorry for being too rash." Disco said happily. "I want you to kill the man who called himself as the "Death"."

With that, a killer who call himself as Death finally shows up to both and is portrayed by Boldo and Garuda prepares to fight with a wooden kendo stick.

A wooden kendo stick looks better than the wooden sword. It will be a safe weapon to knock these guys with this.

"Alright, ya whipper snapper? Show me what ya got? I got something in my sleeve to defeat ya!"

As the confrontation rolls, Liana and all the audience take a wonderful applause as Princess Zukin and Robo2001 are happy to watch as they clap their hands while the Hurley twins, Johnny and Jenny are watching as well.

"It looks like this play is getting interesting. What do you think, little brother?" Jenny said as Johnny happily replies.

"Well this one looks much better than the Afro Ken show. I can't wait to see the old man fight."


It shifts back to the festival stalls, where the Alice team are performing their dance moves the second time which Maho and Baby-Lon watch them dancing. She noticed that Baby-Lon accidentally activates his magical earmuffs as he shows his killer dance moves to everyone as the Super Baby which Alice and the Otts Siblings noticed the audience are take the liking to Baby-Lon's dance moves and the trio giggling and Maho has no choice but to smile.


As the festival continues, We can see both Rage and Izam are competing in a DDRMAX game with the song, CANDY / Luv unlimited has been played. Both men are competing in a dance contest as they gritted their teeth while playing in Heavy mode.

"I'm not gonna lose to you, Rage. This time I'm gonna be the winner of this game?!" Izam said as Rage replies while raising his brow.

"Don't make me, Izam! Because once it's done, you're gonna be smacked down If I win?"

"Why you!"

As the two competing in their festival outfits, Spike and Retsu become disappointed to their actions as they watch.

"I guess those two don't give up, do they?" Spike asked as Retsu lets out his sigh and replies while closing his eyes and having his arm crossed.

"Oh well... these two are nothing more but a heated rivalry. It would be a disappointment for them to watch."

"..."

After that both continues to watch them competing as the song finally ends when it zooms into the night sky.
