Secret Reveals Chapter 20

Episode 15: No Pain, No Gain.

The screen lit up for another episode that started with another recaps before starting back to the new scene.

A guy was shown walking with his back on screen. Two men on their crutches were walking behind him. The guy turned and enter a school.

The scene zooms inside class 2-3 as students went out.

"Let's hurry!"

"Hey, don't run in the hallway!"

Then the scene shows another room where Takemichi was seating.

Takemichi sighs, remembering what Mikey said.

"Bring Baji back from Valhalla for me. And if you fail... I'll kill you." he had said.

The screen fades back to reality as Takemichi clutched his head.

'What should I do?'

"Takemichi!"

Takemichi turned to see his friends walking to him.

"We heard the news. So you became a member of Toman?" Akkun said

"Akkun..."

Another flashback shows, this time it was Future Akkun's second death. The Flashback ends.

Akkun noticed Takemichi's stare "Hm? What's wrong? You don't look so happy."

"Eh? Ah, th-that's right. I became a member of Toman. Just turned out that way."

Akkun smiles "Really? So what happened?"

Takemichi look away.

'I can't look directly at Akkun!'

Some of them sweat drop at that while few of them flinched including Akkun.

"The "Crybaby Takemichi" is now a Toman, huh. Wish we could join, too." Yamagishi said.

"It's not as good as you'd think."

Mizo Middle stares at him before staring at each other.

Opening has been skipped

#15: No Pain, No Gain

The scene change.

"I see. So unless you get that former 1st Squad Captain named Baji-kun from Valhalla, Mikey-kun will kill you?" Akkun asked

"Yeah. And I only got time until Toman's fight with Valhalla starts."

"But no telling when will that happen, right?" Makoto asked

"It can't even be today." Takuya said

"May you rest in peace, Takemichi. I will pick up your bones." Yamagishi fold his hands together.

"To be honest, I don't know anything about the situation inside Toman. Much less anything about Valhalla."

"Hey, Gang Dex." Akkun called.

"Huh?" Everyone turned to Yamagishi.

"Well, if you insist. Let me explain! Tokyo Manji Gang, Toman for short. Mikey-kun is the President and Draken-kun is the Vice-President. Under them are five squads. Each squad has around 20 guys each. They're a large Bosozoku with 100 members total. You know this much, right?" He turned towards them.

"Wow. I didn't know that."

"For real? And you call yourself a delinquent?"

"Sorry."

"Make sure you take a note. This will be on the exam!"

Everyone laughs.

"There! No chitchat!"

"He's totally on the role."

"Say...would you like to be a teacher someday?" Draken asked him, he could gladly helped him with his studies

"Uh, nope. I'm just a bit interested when it comes to gangs and gangsters." Yamagishi was stunned.

"Understandable, have a good day."

"From what I've heard. The former 3rd Squad Captain, Pah-chin-kun got arrested. And the Vice-Captain, Peh-yan-kun, joined the 2nd Squad."

"Eh? So Peh-yan-kun is under Mitsuya-kun now?"

"Yeah."

'We're in the same squad?! I can't really handle being with him. His voice scares me.'

"And, in exchange, the new 3rd Squad Captain is..."

"Kisaki!" Takemichi finish.

"Yes! The former Moebius member. Moebius wasn't exactly one solid group to begin with. Apparently, there was tension between Osanai's group, those born in 1998 and Kisaki's group those born in 1990."

"Hmm, I see. I suppose a gang got a lot going on inside them." Akkun said

"After Osanai lost to Mikey-kun, Moebius is essentially disbanded. Then, the 1990 group led by Kisaki joined Toman. Making Toman's numbers jump from 100 to 150. That makes Kisaki's 3rd Squad way bigger than any others in Toman."

Takemichi had a flashback.

"Toman needs Kisaki's strength to move forward." Mikey had said to him. The flashback ends.

Takuya had raised his hand "What about the 1988 group who was with Osanai?"

"The remaining 88' and 89' have gathered...Under Hanma Shuji."

'That guy?'

"He did say he was Moebius's temporary president during the battle of 8/3."

"And Hanma gathered ex-Moebius members along with anti-Toman force to make a new gang named...Valhalla. Valhalla current has 300 members!"

"300 members...And Hanma is Valhalla's leader?"

"Wha-" everyone who hasn't reached that timeline yet are shock to here the amount.

"Wrong." Everyone look at Kazutora.

"There are 300 members...but Hanma IS NOT -- WASN'T the president." He snorted. Everyone now looks confusdd and decided to watch instead

Yamagishi waved his finger.

"Hanma is the "acting president". No one knows the real president. The "face" of the President does not exist. That's why people call Valhalla as "The Headless Angel."

"Ohhhh..." majority hummed.

'There was--were another reasons they called us "the headless angels"'

'And Baji-kun joined that kind of gang? To bring Baji-kun back to Toman. I've got no choice but to meet him in person. But how?'

The scene changes from outside the classroom.

"Done."

"Hey, you two. Do you know what class the 2nd year Hanagaki is in?"

"Eh?"

"He's in class 3."

"Hmmm...Thank you."

The girls stares at the guy who simply walked away.

"Since when we have such a hottie in our school?"

"Going by his school shie color, he's a 3rd-year, right?"

The screen switches back to the classroom.

Everyone look at Kazutora who had a bit blush from statement. "Damn." he just muttered making everyone laughed at him.

"Dude, I wish I had your charm" Ryusei joked making him blush more.

'Well Unfortunately... I'm gay.' Kazutora had thought.

"The ex-Moebius member are under Hanma, Valhalla's No.2. And the anti-Toman forced are under..."

He writes something on the board.

"The No. 3, Hanemiya Kazutora." As Yamagishi said this they're classroom door went wide open.

They look to see someone entered they're classroom. The guy was shown to be none other than my crush...ehem!

Kazutora!

"Eh?" Kazutora was stopped when he saw that only five (well now 6) of them are in the classroom.

He looked around "Is school over already?" He asked.

Makoto stood up. "Who the hell are you? You don't look familiar."

However the guy smiles "That's not very polite. I'm actually your senior in this school."

"Speaking of which...are you or were you really studying at our school?" Takuya asked

Kazutora chuckles a bit "Nope hehe." This caused Takuya to sweat dropped "Oh."

Baji was relieved to see him managing to talk to ithers without blushing (that one time's understandable?).

Makoto however refuses to believe "Huh? Who are you? Never seen you before."

Yamagishi walks towards Makoto as the screen shows the tiger tattoo.

Yamagishi went pale "That tiger tattoo on his neck! Stop it, Makoto! This guy is...!"

"Huh? What is it?"

Kazutora interrupts them "Hey, you guys know Hanagaki Takemichi?" He smikes at them.

Yamagishi turn around "T-Takemichi... That's him."

"Huh?" Takemichi utters catching Kazutora's attention "Takemichi?"

"Th-This guy's here is Valhalla's No.3! Hanemiya Kazutora!" (oh yes my baby hahaha) Yamagishi shouts

A key card was shown.

(Valhalla No.3 - Kazutora Hanemiya)

They stands up in shock.

'Oh god at least it's not "the Toman's traitor" key card' Kaxutora shivered at his own thought.

Kazutora then laughs and run to Takemichi hugging him "I'm so happy! I had no jdea there was someone in Toman one grade below mine! Okay, Takemichi!"

"Eh?"

"Let's go to Valhalla's hideout."

"Huh? Valhalla?!"

"Hey! I found Takemichi!"

"So that's the guy?"

"Yub."

"Wh-Who are these guys?"

"Hmm? My most trusted junior."

"I-I see...Did anything happen? They both on crutches..."

"Huh? I broke 'em yesterday."

"Eh?! But they're your most trusted juniors, right?"

"Yeah."

"You got a problem with Kazutora-kun?"

"No..."

'How can they be so calm about having their legs broken? In any case, this guy is definitely a bad news!'

"Hurry up, Takemichi!"

'Valhalla's No. 3, Hanemiya Kazutora. Isn't it a bad idea to go along with this guy? We're going to the enemy's hideout!'

"Just relax! I'll introduce you to everyone."

'Everyone?! Could this be a chnace to meet Baji-kun?! But... I'm kinda scared.'

Takemichi clenched his fist and teeth.

But then look out of window to see Hina talking with someone.

"Do you want to go to that store I talked about before?"

"Yeah, let's go!"

"I wonder what to eat today."

"Let's see..."

'Hina.'

"I want to eat parfait."

"Sounds good!"

'I promised back then. That I'll do anything to protect you.'

"Valhalla's hideout. Bring it on!" He smirked

'If I can bring Baji-kun back to Toman, Mikey-kun promised me that he will expel Kisaki. As long as I can get Kisaki out of Toman...The future will change! I won't let that future happen ever again! Watch me! Hina!'

He runs to catch up to Kazutora and his juniors as the Mizo Middle watched.

The scene changes to outside of school.

"Who lets you walk around here?"

"Um...Hanemiya-kun."

"Hmm? Just call me Kazutora."

"Kazutora-kun. You're a third year at our school, right?"

"Yeah."

"Umm...I just figured everyone would make a big deal knowing someone as famous as you been in our school all this time."

"I only went for one semester as a first-year."

"Eh?"

"I've been going to reform school."

"Eh?!"

Kazutora just smiles at him.

"So you did go in our school." Akkun grimaced since Kazutora lied earlier.

"No 3" he lies again.

"Reform school...You got arrested?"

"It was his fault." His mood then change before going back to normal "Look, we're almost there."

'His? Who is he talking about? Anyways I must sneak into Valhalla and take Baji-kun back!'

They stopped when they reached the place.

"Eh? In here?"

"Yub."

"The arcade?"

"Already closed down a long time ago, though."

They went inside as Takemichi noticed a figure of an angel with no head but it does have wings and halo.

'Headless angel...'

The door closed as they went inside.

'Right. Why is it a headless angel even?' Ryusei feels like he's having a headache.

'The atmosphere here was clearly different from Toman.'

Then the screen proceeds to show someone beating a guy.

"Eh?"

The screen shows it was Baji beating some guy from Toman.

'Baji-kun?!'

"Kazutora-kun... What's going on here?"

"What do you mean? It's a loyalty test."

"Loyalty test?"

"We're testing Baji's belief. If he want to "switch religion" from Toman to Valhalla, he needs to show he's truly ready for it. The guy Baji us punching right now is Toman's 1st Squad Vice-Captain. Baji's most trusted retainer."

"1st Squad Vice Captain?!"

"Toman is Valhalla's enemy."

They look to see Bajk beating up Chifuyu.

Baji flinched at the memory. However, Chifuyu remains silent and didn't show any emotions at all, it was like he is not bothered at all.

"If he's betraying his old "God", Mikey then he needs to stomp his old beliefs."

Baji stand up finishing the task. He then turned to others.

"Well? Is this good enough for you, Hanma-kun? For my initiation into Valhalla."

Just then Hanma was seen crouching from front seat.

"You sure are something. He was with you for a long time, right?" Chome said as he eats chips.

"I'm impressed you can go that far." Chonbo said smirking

Chouji Ahane just glared at them.

"What? I didn't come here to listen to some dumb lectures." Baji complained

Just then Hanma stood up. "Kazutora."

"Yeah?"

"Did you get him?"

"Yeah, this one. He's Hanagaki Takemichi. Toman's new member."

"Eh?!" Takemichi gasped

'Am I gonna be...the next "loyalty test?"'

Others glared at screen. Mikey and Draken especially 'Try to hurt my mitchy, bitches.' Mikey gritted his teeth.

Hanma went down from where he used to seat and went to Takemichi.

"So you're Hanagaki? Step forward."

Some pushes him. "C'mon."

Baji notice him and remembers. "You're from that time? You came here to get killed?"

"Kill him!" many had chant.

'I came to bring Baji-kun back. But now Baji-kun will kill me?'

Hanma raised his hand silencing them "One of Toman's founding members and the 1st Squad Captain, Baji Keisuke! He claims he wants to abandon Toman and join Valhalla!"

"One of Toman's top-brass wants to join Valhalla?"

"Ain't that bad?"

"No, this is a huge deal."

Hanma tgen step back ehere he used to seat and stand up there.

"Indeed! This is a verious series matter! Enlisting Baji will aid us greatly in crushing Toman! But! We must first solve just one remaining problem. He might be one of Toman spies! So I had Kazutora prepare a witness for us! I will now summon the witness forward! Hanagaki Takemichi."

"Y-Yes? What did Baji over here say in front of everyone at Toman's gathering?"

"Well..."I'm joining Valhalla." "Toman is my enemy." That's what he said."

"Kazutora, what do you think?"

""Loyalty Test" and "Witness summon." I think that's good enough. We can use Baji in a fight. And he knows a lot about Toman while I was away. I believe it's worth letting him join Valhalla. Are you sure, Baji? We will crush Toman. And then... we'll kill Mikey."

"Yeah. I'll help you with that. Kazutora." Baji bows

"That's enough, right?"

"Going back then, we should have definitely said the complete opposite huh?" Kazutora sweat dropped earning a chuckle of agreement from Takemichi and sweat drops from others.

Hanma then shouts "Okay! From this day forward, Baji Keisuke is a member of Valhalla!"

Everyone cheers.

"No way...This is bad!"

'I'll never be able to get Baji-kun back at this rate!'

"Please wait a minute! Baji-kun, you helped found Toman alongside Mikey-kun and the rest, right? How can you betray them?!"

"I won't betray Toman because I'm a founding member?" He asked back before smirking

"What a joke. That guy is a founding member too."

Takemichi then look at Kazutora who noticed his gazed and turned to him smiling.

He then remembers the old photo and the 6th guy on it.

'The 6th guy in that picture! So that was Kazutora-kun?!'

"Kazutora resented Toman. I can never forget. In 2003. That summer of our first year of middle school. We ran wild."

The screen fades to another scene as the flashback begun.

"Oh god, in all times it has to be this!" Draken shouts.

"I remember how much of a headache both you and Mikey were." Mitsuya sighed

"And how we were always late cause of Baji" Kazutora pointed at Baji

"Hey! Don't blame it all on me!" Baji complained but Kazutora ignored him making Mikey and Pah laughed, enlightening the atmosphere as of moment.

"It was a bit chilly for a mid-summer day." It was then 2 kids were shown walking

"You got called out by Mikey, too?"

"Yeah." The other kid turned.

Key card shows up.

(Baji - Age 12)

"Same place as usual, right?"

Then they could see people robbing or bullying someone.

"Give us your money!"

"Please stop..."

"Ah."

"Eh?"

They finally had arrived and enter the place.

"Sorry. We got late." The kid besides Baji greeted them smiling, now having few scratches on his face same with Baji.

Key card shows up.

(Kazutora - Age 12)

"Baji hit some punks."

"Hey, don't blame it all on me!" Baji was cut off when some kid shout

"Whoa! So cool!"

"Oh, what is it?"

"Toman's Tokko-fuku is done!"

Key card shows up.

(Pah-chin - Age 12)

"Oh, awesome!" Kazutora shouts

"Right?!" Pah shouts back

"The decoration is so detailed!" Baji said

Kazutora turned behind him "This rocks, Mitsuya!"

The kid behind him raised an eyebrow unamused.

"Don't give me that. I'm the one pushed to make 'em."

Key card shows up.

(Mitsuya - Age 13)

"Alright! Let's change into 'em and take a commemorative picture!" Another kid said

Key card shows up.

(Draken - Age 13)

"Right, Mikey?" Draken turned around.

To see a Kid shoving himself the food. He noticed Draken looking at him causing him to look up.

"Hm?"

Key card shows up.

(Mikey - Age 12)

"Ah! You bastard! Why'd you eat all my chocolate parfait?!" Draken shout at him.

"Whoops, didn't notice." Mikey said

"So like, Draken and Mitsuya really are twins?!" Hina asked

"Not by blood but yeah, we have same tattoo and we have same age." Draken shrugged.

"And are the oldest in group. However, Kazutora still stood as the youngest." Mikey shrugged

"Why me?!" Kazutora complained Mikey put his tounge out on him, he just sighed.

"You said you only wanted a bite!"

"You can just order another one." Mitsuya butt in

"That's not the problem here!" Draken shouts

"What do you mean?" Mitsuya asked

"I wanted to eat THIS chocolate parfait!"

"Aaah."

"What is it?!"

"You sure are persistent, huh."

"Huh?! You bastards! I'll beat--"

"Thank you for the food!"

Everyone laughs at them Kazutora's laugh towering over others.

"That sure is fun. Making of fun of this tall giraffe over here." Mitsuya said making them laugh except to a certain "giraffe" who put him in head-lock.

"Arg, fine!"

The scene changes.

"Hey!"

Then it changes to the man beat up as he holds the camera for them.

"H-here goes."

"Hurry up!"

"Y-Yes. Say cheese!"

Then the screen shows the photo as Baji narrates once again.

"I never could have imagined the incident that happened next."

The closing has been skipped.

The screen fades to black signalling the episode's end.

"We were rude back then huh?" Draken sweat drop ignoring the shrugs and "meh" he get.

"Okay, Okay episode 16 is more on of your childhood so please be prepare to be exposed." The host smiled.

"Ehhhh?!" They shout everyone cheers in excitement.

"As of moment, please have a break and discuss things." Just as the host said that the now Thousand winters/Toman 2nd gen (the one who came from that timeline) stand up and went to a corner making a circle as everyone stares at them before going to different group.

Baji going to private corner to talk to Ryusei.
