After a long day of training, Jack, Kim, and Rudy finally locked the doors of the Wasabi Warrior Academy. The trio continued to laugh and joke with each other, their voices echoing in the courtyard. As the sun set, the streetlights flickered on, illuminating their path out of Sea Harbour Mall.
Unbeknownst to them, an old enemy was lurking nearby. It was Frank Bickle, Jack's former high school rival and once a lead student of the Black Dragon Dojo. He waited around a corner until Jack, Rudy, and Kim left. He then approached the building dressed in all black. He was accompanied by two other teenagers that were former students of the Black Dragon Dojo: Ryan, a dark-skinned boy, and Vinny, a tall, skinny boy. They were all carrying brown cardboard boxes.
Looking at the building, Frank said, "Let's give the Wasabi Warriors a little surprise!" Frank cackled, mischievously shaking the spray paint can.
"I don't know about this." said Ryan. "According to Carson, that Jack guy is more powerful than ever. If he catches us..."
Frank shuddered a bit. He remembered his past encounters with Jack, such as his first encounter with him in Seaford High's cafeteria. During one Halloween, Frank thought he had an edge when he found out that Jack was afraid of clowns. So, he and some of his cronies wore clown masks and terrorized Seaford Mall. But Jack fought back blindfolded. Although the blindfold came off, Jack conquered his fear and beat the Black Dragons. After that, Frank became afraid of Jack.
After the Black Dragon Dojo closed, Frank got a job at a grocery store. He was pleased to learn that Kim had returned to Seaford and Jack had left a week later. When Carson reassembled the Black Dragons, Frank was excluded due to his low intelligence and fear of Jack. To make things worse for him, he saw Jack in the store a few days ago, but Jack didn't see him. Remembering the past beatdowns and humiliations, Frank decided to seize the opportunity for some revenge. So, he stole some eggs from the store and contacted some old loyal friends for some 'fun'.
"Don't worry, Eric. Jack and his friends will be long gone now, and there's no way that this will be traced back to us." he said.
Ryan & Eric had surprised looks on their faces; this is one of the FEW times Frank showed some intelligence.
"Alright, boys, let's do it. I want it to be a master pizza mayhem!"
'That's the Frank we know.' though the other two.
They all reached inside the box and took out three spray cans of paint and several egg cartons. They laid the cartons on the ground and held the cans in their hands. They had every intention on vandalizing the Wasabi Warrior Academy!
But as Jack and the others exited the mall grounds, his ears perked up and wiggled a bit. He turned his head back towards the mall.
"Hold on guys. You won't believe this. Our old 'friend' Frank Bickle is here in the mall. He and two of his friends are at the Academy with spray cans."
With a puzzled look on his face, Rudy asked, "Hold on. Frank Bickle? He hasn't been around here since the Academy opened. What makes you so sure?"
"I heard them. Part of the intense training regimen I went through involved enhancing my hearing."
"Well, they're no match for the mighty Jack Brewer. Well, they never were. But with your new level of strength & speed, Frank has a better chance of getting into college than beating you." said a confident Kim.
After a moment, Jack said, "You know what. Despite everything we've been through with them and being trained martial arts fighters, not every problem can be solved with violence & fighting. I just thought of a completely different way of dealing with Frank this time."
"You're right. Fighting should only be a last resort. So, what do you have in mind, Jack?" asked Rudy.
"You'll see." Jack replied.
Frank, Ryan, and Vinny had two eggs in each hand, ready to throw them at the building (with the idea to egg the building first, then spray paint so that the egg yolk would get splattered further as well as painted). Frank took the first shot. Bullseye, the first egg hit the metal 'D' on the sign. He chuckled at his accomplishment, the first of many. Just then, he heard a familiar voice say from behind him:
"You probably shouldn't have done that!"
Frank's face had a look of absolute terror on it. He, Vinny, and Ryan slowly tuned around to see none other than Jack Brewer standing behind them, wearing a blue sweater, gray jeans, and black tennis shoes with his brown hair tied in a ponytail.
"Hey, Frank. Long time, no see." Jack said with a slight smirk.
Frank and his friends froze, their mischievous expressions turning to panic. "Uh-oh! It's Jack!" one of them exclaimed.
"Apparently, you're not friends with Carson Hunter." Jack said.
"Never liked the g-g-guy. Too-too twisted for my taste. And he called me stupid. Too stupid to join hi-hi-his Black D-d-d-dragon revival." stammered Frank.
Hearing him stutter and the look on his face made Jack realize that Frank remembered their past encounters well, just like he did.
But before the trio could turn to run, Jack said, "Relax, Frank. I'm not going to hurt you this time. There's something I want to show you." He then pulled off his shirt, revealing his chiseled physique: perfectly round pecs with flat nipples, perfect square 6-pack abs and defined biceps with a vein running down each one
"What the heck is this about?" asked Ryan.
Jack then began bouncing pecs, flexing with playful intensity.
"What the—?!" Frank stammered, utterly confused.
"Take a good look at my chest." Jack commanded. With every bounce of his pecs, his muscles rippled beneath his skin. To the Black Dragons' astonishment, they found themselves staring at Jack, frozen in place and unable to look away. Frank and his friends halted, eyes widening in disbelief.
"You're feeling sleepy… very sleepy," Jack said in a playful tone, as he continued to bounce his pecs rhythmically.
"I'm with Frank. What the-?" said a male voice.
It was Rudy & Kim. They had returned to the scene of the Academy and caught Jack in the middle of his pec bouncing; he had taken off without them, beating them back to the building with his super speed.
"Hey guys. Check this out!" Jack said to them.
Frank and his friends couldn't look away. They seemed entranced. Their eyes glazed over, movements slow, as they struggled to resist the bizarre appeal of Jack's hypnotic muscles.
A moment or so later, Jack pointed at Frank and Vinny and said, "Frank, climb on Vinny's shoulders." Incredibly, Frank obeyed. "Vinny, go to the front entrance and Frank, lick the egg yolk off the 'D'.
The pair did as Jack commanded.
Kim looked over to Rudy and said, "did Jack...somehow...hypnotize them?"
"Apparently." answered Rudy. "
After Frank was done, he & Vinny returned to Jack and Frank got off Vinny's shoulders. The two stood with Ryan in a row in front of a shirtless Jack.
"Now, Ryan, grab that spray can." Jack said to Frank
With unsteady hands, Ryan bent down and reached for the can. "What… what are we doing?" he muttered, still caught in the strange trance.
"Spray paint Frank's face!" Jack ordered with a mischievous grin.
Ryan held can to Frank's face and pressed the trigger. Blue paint erupted in the criminal's face. But Jack wasn't done, yet. Not by a long shot.
"Now, take a can and spray paint your whole bodies." Jack commanded. The trio each picked up a can and spray painted each other with blank expressions on their faces. They stumbled toward each other, uncontrollably spraying paint onto one another's faces, bright colors splattering everywhere amid their roars of confusion. Soon, they were a silly mess of pinks, greens, and blues.
"Now, form a triangle position, pick up the eggs and throw them at each other!" Jack laughed, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he directed them like a conductor leading an orchestra.
Frank and his friends did what he said. They hilariously threw them one after the other, slipping and sliding as they tried to avoid the mess. The once menacing group was now a chaotic, colorful spectacle of egg-throwing antics!
Finally, after a few minutes of delightful, ridiculous chaos, they ran out of eggs. Jack decided it was time to wrap it up. "Well, it looks like you're all out of eggs. Now face me." he said.
Jack snapped his fingers, and the trio awoke from their hypnotic trance. The sight that greeted Frank and his friends was nothing short of embarrassing. Each of them, covered in vibrant spray paint and egg yolks, stared in disbelief at one another.
What just happened?" Frank asked.
"I just reminded you that messing with me or anything Bobby Wasabi-related is a waste of time? I am unbeatable!" Jack declared triumphantly, his muscles gleaming in the moonlight.
He continued, "First thing tomorrow morning, I want you guys to come back here and clean up the mess you made!" pointing to the broken eggshells and splatters of paint on the ground around them.
"If you don't..."
Jack began to bounce his pecs again. Frank and his friends turned pale, the reality of their situation sinking in. "Okay, we'll be back to clean up. Just d-d-don't bounce your pecs again!" stammered Frank. In a panic, Frank, Vinny, and Ryan turned heel and booked it down the street, leaving behind their spray cans and egg cartons.
Jack smirked as he watched them flee. He then turned back to Kim and Rudy, who had been watching the whole scene unfold, barely able to contain their laughter.
"That was insane, Jack! I can't believe they actually did it! I can't believe YOU actually did it! What was that anyway?" Rudy wheezed between bursts of laughter.
"I learned powerful hypnosis techniques during my time away." Jack camply replied.
"More like nip-nosis." Kim chuckled. "Only you could turn your pecs into a dangerous weapon." she continued.
As Jack was putting his shirt back on, he said, "Like Sensei Rudy and I said earlier, not all problems can be solved with violence. Sometimes, you have to get a little creative. Plus...I wanted to show off my physique again!"
Rudy & Kim laughed. As they left the Academy again, the laughter echoed through the evening air. It had been an unusual night, but it just went to show that sometimes, the best way to deal with a rivalry is to make it a little ridiculous.
Epilogue
The next morning, Milton & Jerry arrived at the Wasabi Warrior Academy to an incredible sight: Frank Bickle, Ryan Ashland and Vincent 'Vinny' Curry wearing French maid outfits that were provided by Kim with push brooms and sponges cleaning up eggshells and paint. They also saw Sensei Rudy and Kim sitting at a table in front of the Academy building. Rudy had his phone out recording and Kim was drinking a cup of water.
"What is going on here?" asked Milton.
"What's going on here is us pounding you if we're not let go!" said Vinny.
"Uh-hem!"
Vinny, Ryan, and Frank turned to see a shirtless Jack in front of the Academy's doors with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. He uncrossed his arms and bounced both pecs twice. The frightened trio went back to work cleaning.
Milton & Jerry turned to Rudy and Kim and Kim said, "I'll explain later."
