August 1987, and Akira was leading the team, now dubbed the Ass-Kicker 5. They were lounging around the house. Akira and Amanda cuddling while eating chili cheese fries and deep dish pizza respectively, Josefumi playing video games and Rei and Maria smoking outside while chatting. Suddenly, a phone rang. Akira picked it up. "Agent Shinjuku. Mhm. I see. Thank you, Director Helsing." he hung up the phone. "You guys wanna see where I work?" Akira smirked. "Ummmm..." Maria said and Amanda chimed in. "I do, Aki!" she smiled. He smiled back. "That's Mandy, who else?" he asked. Josefumi said "Sure, man!" Rei said "Hmph. I'll go." and Maria said "Fine, how bad can it be?" Akira smirked and pulled a book on a bookshelf, moving the bookshelf and leading to an elevator which they all stepped in. Akira pushed a button that said 666, which lead them to a giant facility. "Welcome to the Bureau of Paranormal Extermination!" he said proudly. "Woah..." they all said in awe. A man stepped out of the shadows. "Agent Shinjuku. These must be your friends." Akira smiled. "This is my girlfriend Amanda, my best friend Josefumi, my rival Rei, and my friend Maria." he said. "Team, meet Director Adam Victor Helsing, head of the Bureau." He explained. "Here at the Bureau of Paranormal Extermination, we handle finding mystic creatures from other dimensions and, as the name implies, exterminate them." Director Helsing then said "How would you 4 like to work alongside Agent Shinjuku? The pay is quite nice." they all shouted "YES!!!" in unison. This is how the Ass-Kicker 5 got jobs at the Bureau of Paranormal Extermination.
