"How are we gonna get into the Police station without Naoto here to get us through?" Sonia asked.
"Easy. We just have to pay bail for someone." Hope said. "We already know someone in jail."
"Shizuo…" Sonia realized.
"Question is, do I have enough cash to pay the bail for him?" Hope asked before he was lifted by someone. This was Rokujo.
"Hey, listen. I'm gonna need to borrow your friend here for a bit. Cool." Rokujo said leaving and heading to a building.
"Hey, what are you?" Hope began before seeing Rainbow, Korra, Ross and Sanji there. "What's going on?"
They got into the elevator and went to the roof of the building where they saw people in yellow scarves with Masaomi in front of them.
"The Yellow Scarves." Rainbow said.
"What brings you jerks here in this building?" Hope asked.
"Now don't be rude. I just came to ask them a few questions. From what I hear, you guys were ripping up this town long before the Toramaru even showed up. Kadota and his peeps had to squash you all once before. And…" Rokujo said.
"We didn't do anything to him so get lost!" one of the members said.
"Chill." Masaomi said. "So you all think we tried to kill him, huh? Is that it?"
"Well yeah. I owe him one for saving one of my girls. I figured the least I could do is find whoever hit him. By the way, do you guys know a group in the Dollars trying to clean their ranks? Rumor is they're the same people who jumped my guys last spring. The same SOB's that torched our bikes." Rokujo said.
"I get it. You wanna use the Yellow Scarves to smoke out the guys who did that to your guys, right?" Masaomi asked.
"Wow. You catch on quick." Rokujo said. "Now here's where it gets confusing. Some of them used to roll with the Blue Squares and some were with the Yellow Scarves. And to top that off, the Yellow Scarves took out the Blue Squares back in the day. I have no idea what's going on. I just wanna keep things simple. That's why I brought these simple guys. This don't involve the Toramaru. So…" Rokujo said walking over and pointing to Masaomi. "You and me are gonna settle this the old fashioned way."
"If I kick your ass, what do we get out of it?" Masaomi asked.
"Then I guess we work for you as your bodyguards. The guys who got your back in your war against the Dollars. Course I'm going after them anyway so no loss to me." Rokujo said.
"Wait, then why fight? Why not just help us out?" Masaomi asked as Rokujo was stretching.
"Well I would be fine with it but you guys don't have the best rep. You know?" Rokujo said.
"He really wants to do this." Ross said.
"He's a fighter." Hope shrugged as the fight began. They watched as Rokujo was lunging at Masaomi and causing destruction with each of his hits. "Whoa! I knew he was a fighter but…" Hope said.
"I think I understand him. He's superhuman just like Shizuo." Sanji said. "A normal looking person with superhuman strength and endurance."
"Wow. Incredible." Rainbow said seeing neither side giving an inch up until Masaomi lead Rokujo to fall off the building. He landed to the ground with a thud. Making an indent in it while being okay himself.
"Hey, if you're gonna make a fall at least have the guts to go down with me!" Rokujo shouted.
"Yep. Definitely superhuman." Ross said before they heard the Yellow Scarves talking to a man in black glasses, a blue scarf, a burn scar on his face and wielding a mallet.
"Hahaha. They say you can always find the dumbest guys in the highest places." he said.
"Crap. Its Izumi." Masaomi said.
"Who?" Rainbow asked.
"Hey! It's time for a pop quiz. Can anyone tell me the name of the chicken shit bastard who left Saki Mikajima after I broke her legs?" he asked while laughing as Masaomi growled.
"How repulsive…" Ross said.
"Izumi!" Masaomi shouted as he ran to punch Izumi, but while Izumi was bleeding, Masaomi ended up with a broken arm.
"Hahaha! Now this is a good day. I have the leader of the Dollars to thank. Thank you, Mikado Ryuugamine!" Izumi shouted.
"Mikado?!" Rainbow said in shock.
"Oh, you don't know? He's the boss of the Dollars and the Blue Squares now. He's doing a heck of a job as I was when I lead the Blue Squares." Izumi said before he started laughing.
"So you were one of its bosses?" Sanji asked.
"That's right. I was in jail for awhile cause of it but I'm out now. Now there are a list of people I need to get back at. Kadota, Walker...and that coward Jexi." Izumi said.
"You can call Jexi a lot of things, but you never and I mean never… Call him a coward." Hope said.
"Really? Know what he did when his brothers and him first visited? He ran away as I was beating the ever loving crap out of Umbra! And he called the police on the way out, crying all the way like a coward. If that isn't a chicken, I don't know what is." Izumi said laughing.
"He has no right to insult him like that." Hope said.
"Calm down. That's just what he wants." Ross said.
"I know, but he's got no idea how much Jexi's changed. He's not a little kid any more." Hope said.
Rainbow then clicked something in her head. "I've got an idea."
"Really?" Ross asked.
"Yup." Rainbow said. "Hey Izumi! If you want Jexi, I can take you right to him." Rainbow said.
"Sure. Do that...but before then...we're gonna beat the everloving shit out of you guys." Izumi said as several thugs were coming out from the parking garage.
"I guess they wanna bruise us up before we take him to Jexi." hope said.
"Kinda expected this from him." Korra said.
"Dang. Why can't my plans just turn out good for once?" Rainbow asked before they heard an alarm. They turned to the stairwell to see Rokujo with his hand on the fire alarm.
"Rokujo?" Hope asked.
Rokujo smirked as he ran towards them and grabbed Masaomi, Rainbow and Ross and jumped off the building. "Just get outta there! I'm gonna borrow your two friends for a little while longer! Cool?"
"Cool! Let's blow this place, Korra!" Hope said.
"You're not going anywhere!" Izumi said.
"I don't plan on giving you a vote." Korra said using her firebending a bit before Izumi freaked out and jumped back.
"Watch it with the pyro lady!" Izumi shouted.
"The big man who thinks my friend's a coward has a fear of fire. What are the odds of that?" Hope smiled.
"Hope, we gotta go. Police and fire trucks are gonna be swarming this place in minutes." Sanji said.
"Damn. This isn't over you asshole!" Izumi shouted as he ran.
"Let's bail!" Hope aid as they left as well.
The sun was soon setting as Hope, Sanji and Korra walked the streets to the station.
"I can't believe it. Mikado is the leader of the Blue Squares now. Meaning he took his deal." Hope growled.
"His deal?" Korra asked.
"Last time I was here, we met this guy named Aoba. He essentially asked both of us to be the bosses for the Blue Squares. I turned him down but...I guess Mikado agreed." Hope said.
"That's hard. But...that Izumi guy or whoever he is. What right does he have to break some lady's legs? I'm gonna kill him next time we see him." Sanji said.
"Ever the handsome knight who defends women." Korra snickered.
"It's something I learned from the geezer when I was still a kid." Sanji said. "He's more a father to me than my real one."
"You must've had real jerks for a family if this is the Vinsmokes we're talking here." Hope said. "I won't judge but.., what was it like growing up with them? The Vinsmokes I mean."
"Like hell. I was beat up almost every single day by my brothers. My father never showed any approval for my cooking cause I'm basically a royal. Only ones who showed any care for me were my mom and older sister." Sanji said.
"Oh, that's why you're so chivalrous. You only got care from the women in your family." Korra said.
"I guess you could say it. Reiju never showed it in front of the other members of my family though. But my mom...when I made her something that looked horrible, she told me it was delicious." Sanji said.
"And...where is she now?" Hope asked.
"She passed away a year before I ran away from home." Sanji said. "But...it was cause of her and Reiju...I was able to leave that ass of a family behind and leave for the East Blue."
"You and I are so much alike in a way Sanji." Hope said. "I'd be more than happy to beat up your brothers and get rid of your past for good. No Vinsmokes, no marriage to Pudding, Big Mom's plans go down the drain."
"I doubt it. You are strong...but you wouldn't even lay a scratch on them. Hell, Jexi probably couldn't do it either." Sanji said. "David can probably restrain them with his magic, but that's probably all he could do."
"Geez. How are they so strong that even Jexi and David can't beat Em?" Korra asked.
"They've been modified with sciences of the Germa Kingdom since birth. They're superhuman like Shizuo and Rokujo but have stronger bones and much harder exoskeleton. I'm the dud cause I was the only one in the family to be normal other than my mom and dad." Sanji said.
"Wow. Incredible. Germa's science sounds like a force to be reckoned with." Hope said before they arrived at the station where they saw Shizuo walking out. "Shizuo! I was wondering how I was gonna pay for your release, but I guess I don't have to worry."
"Nah. I was let out when the woman who told them I hurt her said I was never seen by her in her life." Shizuo said. "So, you're here because of the head in the truck over there right?"
"Yeah...but how did you…" Hope began.
"One of that demon's sword's henchmen told me about the head. But I'm just gonna leave it be." Shizuo said before they heard an explosion went off near the van. They looked back and saw someone on a bike going into it and taking the head. They drove towards them and stopped for a moment. "Varona?" he said before they turned around. "That had to be her."
"Why would your own disciple steal Celty's head?" Korra asked.
"I dunno. But I bet that blood sucking fleas got something to do with it. Izaya. Hope...how would you feel about a team up with me?" Shizuo asked.
"Just so long as you don't accidentally break my bones again. Seriously, Shinra had a field day when you home runned me with that bench." Hope said.
"Don't worry. As long as you don't piss me off, you're fine." Shizuo said. "But I can't say the same for the bastard behind all of this."
"You're right." Korra said pounding her fists. "Izaya's gonna get what's coming to him after all he's done."
"Damn straight he is. It's time we did it. The four of us...we're gonna take down Izaya for good." Hope said as he, Shizuo, Korra and Sanji marched off.
