It was eleven in the morning on a sunny and windy day, and the Laora Park was as busy as ever. It was the weekend, so attendance had risen by a ton. People from all over Fiveton, as well as visitors from other lands came to ride on the roller-coasters, or if they were a calmer person, the Ferris wheel. Or perhaps they had instead gone for the arcade, which was tucked into the southeast corner of the park. Among the people in the park, three in particular stuck out. One of them wore a simple and plainly colored red suit, with a mohawk and a fresh pair of sunglasses. Another wore his blue skeleton pajamas, a circular pair of glasses and a blue shark fin hat. The third wore a striped, long sleeve dark green shirt, a dark green pair of shorts, a green (of course) shark fin hat and the same glasses as the previous guy. These three were the sharks, and they were heading to a meeting of high importance.

THE DAY BEFORE

Frank Fly and Mr. Wonderful had now made their deal official. With the sacred seal of the handshake, it was now Mr. Wonderful's duty to ensure that Frank and his gang ended up with an arcade. "Alright, so I'm assuming you're the leader." he remarked, "Your name is...?" "Frank Fly. Badass, right!?" "Seems like something I'd come up with in primary school." "Ay! What the hell!? You tryin' to get stabbed or somethin'? It's a fantastic nickname! I don't know what you're on- but you should get off of it!" Mr. Wonderful laughed, "Don't worry kiddo, names don't matter. I knew a gang leader named Teddy!"

Mr. Wonderful straightened his tie once more and said, "So, you guys plan on breaking in tonight, correct?" "Yah!" said Muskedunder as he punched the air, "We're gonna get in 'n beat 'em up! And then, we'll take over that park and Ah'll play games and rahd roller-coasters all d-" "I'ma have to stop you right there," Mr. Wonderful interrupted, "You'll get destroyed if you just barge in there with intent of taking over! At best, you'll end up in the hospital. At worst, you'll end up in a ditch!" Windy crossed his arms, "So what'll you do to help us?" "I'll arrange a meeting between you three and their leader. Then, you can join them!"

"Woah woah woah- hold it right there!" Frank said as he did the sign language for "stop", "We don't wanna join them! We're the SHARKS!" "Listen, I'm not sayin' you have to stay under their rule. I'm just opening up a window! It's easier to attack from the inside!" "He's got a point." Windy said, "When's the meeting?" "I'll set it up in a moment." Mr. Wonderful pointed at Frank, "We gotta get you ready!" "Whaddya mean by that?" "You need to look presentable! I'll go help you find a nice lookin' suit, those jeans and cheap shirt of yours ain't gonna cut it!"

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Frank, Windy, and Muskedunder all continued to walk down the amusement park, specifically heading to a water fountain in a secluded area. "Ain't it kinda weird how we're gonna have that meeting near a water fountain?" remarked Muskedunder, "Ah thought we'd meet up in a secret castle or somethin'!" "Maybe there's some sort of secret door over there!" Windy exclaimed, "Maybe you gotta press a button like three times, and a hidden entrance opens up!" "Just make sure to stay on guard!" Frank exclaimed, "There's a small chance that Mr. Wonderful dude set us up, and we're about to get killed!" Windy smirked, "My pogo stick's ready for anything." "Mah hoola-hoop would be ready- if Ah had it!" Muskedunder yelled as he stared at Windy.

The three eventually reached the water fountain, and got ready for anything. They waited for about four minutes, and nothing happened. "Is... anyone gonna come?" Windy asked. Suddenly, the three were approached by a figure wearing nothing but black, with a pair of dark gloves and a ski mask over their face. Frank walked up to them and asked, "Hey, are you the boss of the-" His question was interrupted as the figure slammed his head with a baseball bat. Windy brandished his pogo-stick and Muskedunder got into a karate stance. The figure slammed both their heads as well. The three all fell unconscious, and their bodies were dragged away to an unknown area.

Frank's eyes slowly opened up, and he found himself in a darkly lit, ominous room. Muskedunder and Windy were both besides him, still knocked out. As Frank's vision improved, he saw a desk of stone stand menacingly before him. The person sitting at the desk looked him dead in the eye, "You're Frank Fly, correct?" Frank dusted himself off, "...Yes? That's me. But- WHAT THE HELL'S YOUR DEAL?! THAT HURT LIKE HELL! I COULD'VE DIED!" The person smirked, "That's simply how we do things around here." Frank felt like going ahead and beating the crap out of this jackass right then and there, but for some odd reason, a menacing aura stopped him from getting any closer. A sort of dark energy radiated from this person, one which struck fear into those speaking to them.

"Mr. Wonderful informed me that you and your cohorts would like to join my group. May I ask, why?" Frank didn't know what to say. Obviously he couldn't reveal his true intentions, but he was never the greatest at lying. "Uh- because I want to." "But why?" "Because I do." "Huh?" "Yeah, that's how I do things." The person sat silent for a moment, until she smiled and said, "Call me the Grand Kallé. I'll give you a task tomorrow. You'll work for the Association, my gang." Frank pumped his fist, "Yes!" " It won't all be easy, you know. We're a big deal. The Association controls the Laora amusement park, the skatepark, the forests in Sevensville, a bakery in Ninea, a village in Peaceful Rest valley, an arcade in Onett, and a mall in TenTown. We're by no means like the pathetically small groups you must be used to."

"It'll be no problem for me and my partners. I ain't called Fail-proof Frank for nothin'!" "I hope you don't disappoint. I have a moderate amount of respect for Mr. Wonderful, so I'm hoping you three will meet my expectations." "We will, don't worry!" "Good. If you fail while under my gang, or ever betray me in any sort of way- there will be great consequences." The dark aura Frank felt radiating off of her got stronger, making him more nervous, "I won't do anything like that." Grand Kallé clapped her hands, "Good! You begin tomorrow! Please return to the drinking fountain at 5 in the morning!"
