Downtown Sao Paulo

June 9, 2021

The next day in downtown Sao Paulo, Watson was giving Emerald and Mercury a tour around the city and showing them all the sites for them to behold.

"Cities like this would definitely rival that of Atlas or Mantle," Mercury said.

"Merc, Atlas is more advanced with this city, The only thing this city has in value, is more diversity on jobs, commerce, same goes to every city sans Remnant" Watson said, trying to put on a pair of ear plugs, with Emerald helping him, as to remove any hair that got inside.

"If you don't like noise, why didn't you move to a more quiet town?" Mercury asked as Watson looked at him in annoyance.

"Look, I did want to move, but my mother died before we moved to the Paraiba valley, you should at least respect me for who I am," Watson answered.

"I tolerate you, you have a long way to go to get my trust," Mercury replied.

"Do you guys want to find a place to get some chow?" Watson asked.

"Fine, I'm in," Mercury answered with a shrug.

"Sure," Emerald also answered.

"By the way, do you think Lucas will be okay watching over Hazel?" Watson asked.

"As far as I can recall, Lucas and Hazel were at the theater, watching the amazing digital circus play... I mean, seriously, they released a play about the pilot?" Watson said, soon seeing someone doing a campaign rally

"Wait, are you guys seeing this? I swear, if this is Lion, I will remove his penis by force," Watson said.

He stepped away a bit away from the crowd. And as he did, Watson narrowed his eyes to see standing behind the podium was a man in a gray suit and red tie. He had short trimmed black hair and gray eyes.

"Nope, it's not him. Thank God," Watson said with a sigh of relief.

"Who's that?" Emerald asked.

"That must be Alexandre Pereira Carvalho da Silveira. Lucas told me about him yesterday. I guess he must be campaigning here today," Watson replied.

"So what do you guys expect would happen when that out there gets elected?" Emerald asked.

"So, in case he gets elected, the UHL will have another nation in its palm," Watson answered.

"Well the more the merrier. Is he planning on creating another Huntsmen Academy too?" Mercury asked.

"That's one of the things he said he was gonna do. Brazil has been getting a lot of Grimm activity lately. All the crime activity is stirring up all kinds of emotions here. Mostly negative. And that negativity ended up attracting the Grimm," Watson explained.

"Looks like Brazil really needs help," Emerald said.

"You have no idea," Watson replied.

"Watson, don't you get uncomfortable being in big crowds? I think we should go to a quieter place" Emerald said, with Watson getting a bit nervous over the commotion being created.

"Yeah, we should go," Watson replied.

Suddenly, they heard the sounds of screaming in the distance as the three turned to see what was going on. They saw people running around the corner of a street, fleeing and screaming in terror. What followed next were a large group of Grimm, consisting of Beringels, Swindlens, and a King Taijitu.

"Ah, crap," Watson muttered.

He walked out into the open as some of the screaming people ran past him as the Grimm approached. Watson fixes his gaze at the oncoming Grimm and draws out Little Bladers in their pistol forms. He pointed his pistols at the Grimm and began to open fire upon them. A couple of Swindlens were struck from Watson's shots and instantly dissipated upon death. A Beringel rushed over towards Watson and swung its fists down at him as he jumped away from the attack. Watson transformed his pistols into his karambit knives before slashing at the Grimm's arms, and then at its throat, killing it.

As the Grimm focused their sights on Watson and rushed towards him, Emerald and Mercury charged in at the Grimm. Emerald pulls out Thief's Respite and cuts through a couple of Swindlens that jump at her. The King Taijitu slithers towards her before one of its heads lunges at her. She jumps away from the attack as the other head lunges at her. Emerald jumps on top of its head and runs on its neck as she slashes at a couple more Swindlens that jumped at her.

A Beringel rushed towards Mercury And swung its arms at him as he backflipped away from its attacks, while firing of shots from Talaria. Mercury runs over to the Grimm and hurled a couple of kicks at its stomach, before following up with a kick to the chin, while firing off a shot through the Beringel's head, killing it. Another Beringel jumps over towards Mercury and slams its fists down on to him, but Mercury jumps away at the last second before hurling a couple of kicks at its sides. The Grimm swung its arm at the assassin, as Mercury rolled away from the attack before jumping up into the air and stomping his feet down onto the Grimm, while firing a couple shots into the back, killing it.

Alexandre was being escorted away from the carnage by a couple of agents. However he stops upon seeing Watson, Emerald, and Mercury fighting off the Grimm. He looked out at the three and had a thought festering in his head.

Watson charges over to a Beringel to swing his karambit knives at it, but the Grimm blocks the attack with its hands as the blades went through them. The Beringel starts to push Watson back, but Watson lets out his anger and activates his semblance with his hair lit in blue fire. He kicks the Beringel away, sending it flying into one of the two heads of the King Taijitu that Emerald was facing, knocking them both to the ground. Emerald turns her head to see Watson charging over to the downed Beringel and King Taijitu, and jumps up into the air before coming down and slamming his feet and knives down onto the Beringel, crushing it. Just as the two King Taijitu heads were about to lunge at Watson, he jumped up into the air as the two heads crashed into each other. Watson then shot himself down at the Grimm as one of the heads lifted itself up over the other. His body struck through the two heads at once like a bullet as the King Taijitu then dissipated.

Watson panted for a moment and started looking around. He then notices a man sneaking up at Alexandre and his security from an alleyway as he pulls out a gun. Just as he was about to fire, Watson threw one of his knives at the gunman, striking him in the forehead, making him drop to the ground dead. Alexandre was alerted by this and looked down at the body. Watson walked over to the body and pulled the knife out of his head before it and his other knife away Emerald and Mercury then ran over to Watson.

"Did we get all of the Grimm?" Watson asked.

"Yeah, that's all of them," Mercury answered.

"You guys okay?" Watson asked.

"We're alright," Emerald answered, while Mercury nodded in agreement.

Alexandre would soon look at his savior with a smile plastered on his face and stepped over to him.

"Alexander Rotundo Watson, first Brazilian and autistic Huntsman, and killer of this city's most dangerous crime lord, we might need to discuss this in private, meet me in the Governor's office," Alexandre said.

He walked over to a car parked nearby and stepped inside. Another car came off and parked behind the other car as the driver then stepped out and opened the back door, gesturing Watson and Emerald and Mercury over.

"Do you think we're in trouble?" Emerald asked.

"I'm not sure. It doesn't feel like it. Either way, we better do what he says," Watson said.

The three then entered inside the second car before the two cars began to drive off down the street.

Matarazzo Building

Later inside the Matarazzo Building, the city hall of São Paulo, Alexandre, Watson, Emerald, and Mercury were inside an office, all seated at a table.

"So, Alexander, it appears that you saved me and my campaign. One of my goals was removing CENTRAL from Youtube. If that lunatic killed me, CENTRAL would have received support and ran the country," Alexandre said.

"You're welcome, sir. I was just doing what I thought was right," Watson said.

"I have some things to ask you, if that's alright with you," Alexandre said.

"Go ahead," Watson replied.

"Do you have any plans throughout the summer?" Alexandre asked.

"I'm running low on money right now, and I was going to make plans on job hunting, to get me through the summer until I have to return to Beacon," Watson explained.

"Then what if I were to tell you that I want to offer you a job at this moment?" Alexandre asked.

The question that was asked to Watson surprised him, and he now wanted to know what it was and where this was going.

"What kind of job are we talking about?" he asked.

"Mainly security. You see, Menagerie is a big partner of the UHL, and it is the UN mission to migrate some of the Faunus citizens as exchange programs to all countries, with the exceptions a few other countries like North Korea, Iran, and Ireland,"

Upon hearing Ireland not being involved, Watson got confused and wondered why that country was not included.

"And yes, if you are wondering about that, there was an incident with their prime minister getting drunk," Alexandre stated before turning his attention to Emerald. "How about you? You can accompany Watson, as well as your other teammate as his caretaker?"

"Of course," Emerald answered as Mercury shrugged.

"Then it's settled. We'll be leaving in a couple of days, so go ahead and pack what you need and make whatever preparations you need to do," Alexandre said.

"Is it alright if I bring a friend along with us?" Watson asked.

"And Hazel as well?" Mercury asked.

"If you want to, then sure," Alexandre answered.

"Thank you very much," Watson said as he shook Alexandre's hand. "I'm so excited I can't even hold it in!"

June 11, 2021

A couple days had just passed as Watson, Emerald, Mercury, Hazel, and Lucas were currently flying inside an airline, strapped into their seats. Watson had his face inside a bag as he was currently throwing up from motion sickness as Emerald was sitting next to him rubbing his back in comfort.

"I just had to open my big mouth, didn't I," he groaned.

Emerald chuckle a bit overall by Watson's comment.

"It was either that, or boat, and Blake wouldn't be there to save the boat," Emerald said.
