Chapter 7
At the Heroes Association.
Sitch was a man on a mission. His first objective was to find out every meeting that occurred today while he was with the S and M Class. Second, who called for these meetings, third, finding out why. It wasn't long until he saw the pattern and two common names. McCoy was no surprise to him to say the least. The man was ambitious and would do all sorts of strange and unusual things to get ahead. The second one, Sitch knew of and was very cautious around. He has used the association before to obtain monster materials for benefactors. Guiches. Sitch hated to admit to the idea but Guiches used tactics to secure funds for the association, and yet he also know some of this money lines Guiches's pockets as well. Still, the papers he read were clear. There were four meetings today. Lightning Max, Suiryu and Snek were called in, then Alley Brawler.
Sitch found the two men no far from where he was walking. "What is the meaning of this!" he yelled.
McCoy and Guiches turned and saw Sitch approach with anger in his eyes. "I did not call for these four to come to the association! There was no reasoning for it, who authorized this!"
McCoy was quick to step in. "It has come to the attention of the board that things are not moving quickly enough on this… cure that Miss Brawler promised. They felt that one person working on this wasn't enough and insisted on a third party."
"But you removed her from her own project! The association never considered the idea of curing monster cells! That was all her! She lay the foundation for this research, how can it be taken out from under her!?" he demanded.
McCoy kept himself cool, calm and collected, he tried to sooth things over with Sitch and explained that it was out of their hands. The board insisted on these changes. "They wanted their A Class heroes back, not to mention Suiryu is the top martial artist in the world, he's a celebrity, he HAS to be cured for the sake of mortal of the people!"
"Then why are these three in the M Class now?" questioned Sitch.
This shocked McCoy, "Excuse me?" he said.
Sitch pulled out the paper work he himself filed today and inputted into the computer. "As of 2 this afternoon. Snek, Lighting Max and Suiryu are now classified as M Class Dragon. On par with the S Class heroes as per agreement with Garou and Melee Brawler."
There was a lost look in McCoy's eye. As if someone just took the rug out from his feet. "I… I didn't know they were M Class Dragons now."
"They accepted the position after their A Class rank was taken from them. How is that suppose to go over with the public? People still looked up to Snek and Lightning Max! The people know them as A Class heroes and treated them as such, now. They are M Class Dragons! Who on the board decided on taking their original ranks?"
McCoy began to sweat a little. "I cannot say for certain, but I will go over it with them. Perhaps something can be changed."
"See that you do. Until then, I want details as to why Miss Brawler was taken off her own project. You do realize she made substantial progress with her cure, especially with Tank Top Tiger." Said Sitch. "I want full details as soon as possible. Don't make me come looking for you to obtain them!"
Sitch stormed off shortly after. He knew there was something more going on here, however he has yet to prove it. He will though, it's only a matter of time.
