Kazu: "Ok, first all we need is some competitors"
Mr. Clone: "I'll gladly be in charge of that. I know a bunch of inspiring heroes. They'll do great."
Kazu: "Ok good. Next we need a place to fight."
Ruri: "There's a bunch of abandoned buildings not too far from here. Maybe one is big enough that we could fix up. When I was in Tokyo, I had to rebuild a lot of construction, so I think I could help with this."
Kazu: "Great, Ruri and Dai can go. Dai I feel like your drills will be great with construction."
Dai: "Oh, well I'm on it, Kazu. "
(Ruri and Dai ran off together to find a spot to make this tournament.)
Kazu: "Ok, now we need to spread the word out."
Selene: "I can do it."
Yui: "Yeah, me too."
Kazu: "Ok, you guys are incharge of making flyers to pass out. Get people excited."
Selene: "On it. Let's go, Yui."
Yui: "Alright. "
(Selene and Yui went upstairs to Yui's room to work on the flyers.)
Kazu: "Ok, now Reo and Sara I need you two to also spread the word. Maybe go around and wow people with your cores, get them excited for this tournament."
Reo: "Can do."
Sara: "You can count on us."
(Sara and Reo left to spread the word around.)
Kazu: "Ok, and Toshi you still got your clones out making sure everything is good in the city."
Mr. Clone: "You got it. They are all out making sure petty crimes won't be ruining anyone's day."
Kazu: "Alright, now all I can do is count on everyone to do their part."
Taku: "Hey what do I do?"
(Taku walked in and Kazu completely forgot about him.)
Kazu: "O-oh, uh Taku, I'm glad you made it. I have the most important job for you. You're in charge of…."
(Kazu looked all over the room to find something for him. Then he laid his eyes on the bookshelves.)
Kazu: "I need you to alphabetize these books for me."
Taku: "Aw, what? That sucks. Plus the books are already alphabetized."
Kazu: "Are you sure about that? What's that?!"
(Kazu pointed behind Taku and Taku turned away. While Taku wasn't looking, Kazu pushed over the bookshelf and all the books fell over.)
Kazu: "Oh no, what happened? Well looks like this might take awhile. Better get to work."
Taku: "Ugh, fine."
(Taku started to clean up the mess, while Kazu started to walk with Mr. Clone.)
Kazu: "Ok Toshi. Everything looks like it's going to plan. Protector's plan was great. Where is Protector anyway?"
Mr. Clone: "Oh, I don't really know. He likes to be alone sometimes, so I let him be."
Kazu: "Oh, ok. Well that's ok, as long as he's staying out of trouble."
Mr. Clone: "No need to worry, he always does."
Kazu: "Good, now about these inspiring heroes you've been talking about."
Mr. Clone: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I've been going around to schools and such finding people who would be great heroes."
Kazu: "Well who are they?"
Mr. Clone: "Haha, if you don't mind Kazu, I'd rather these people be a secret. I want you to be surprised when you see them at the tournament."
Kazu: "Well it better be a happy surprise. I don't wanna be surprised at how bad they are."
Mr.Clone: "No need to worry, Kazu. Now we just have to wait for the others to finish their jobs."
(Dai and Ruri were walking to the abandoned buildings.)
Ruri: "Hmmmm, It should be close by."
Dai: "Are you sure we went the right way? I thought you said it was close."
Ruri: "Well I said it was kinda close. I guess it was farther than I thought, but we will make it. Don't worry."
Dai: "Ok, just making sure we're not lost. I don't wanna waste time with Kazu."
Ruri: "You seem to really like Kazu."
Dai: "Don't you?"
Ruri: "Well yeah, but I mean, you really like Kazu."
Dai: "Oh, I guess I do go overboard with it sometimes. I just kind of owe it to him that I'm even a hero."
Ruri: "Why's that."
Dai: "Well if it wasn't for him, then I probably wouldn't have been one. Me and Taku were kind of on a losing streak. Sure we would defeat villains, but due to our cores we were kind of destructive. We would go to city after city looking for the place where we belong, but we'd keep getting kicked out. I finally said that this was our last city, and luckily it was yours. We met Kazu, helped him defeat a villain, and he took us in. Taught us how to use out abilities a little less destructive like."
Ruri: "Wow, I guess he has done a lot for you."
Dai: "Yeah, plus he gave me and Taku a home. Before we were sleeping on the street."
Ruri: "Oh yeah, I think I heard him saying something like that. He does like helping people."
Dai: "Yes, he is a great man."
(They walked in silence a bit, but Dai felt awkward and wanted to keep the conversation going.)
Dai: "You know, you're a great woman too."
Ruri: "Huh?"
Dai: "Oh, I said you're a great woman. Like I said Kazu is a great man."
Ruri: "Oh, yeah. Thanks."
Dai: "Yeah, I just mean it looks like you always want to help your sister."
Ruri: "Oh, well I mean I do. She's basically all I have left."
Dai: "Yeah I know what you mean. Taku is technically all I have left too."
Ruri: "Did your family die too?"
Dai: "I'd rather not get into it."
Ruri: "Oh, sorry."
Dai: "You're fine. Hey, how much longer do you think we're going to be? I think it's going to get dark soon."
Ruri: "Yeah you're right. Maybe we shouldn't have walked, but I swear we should almost be there."
Dai: "Hey is that it."
(Ruri looked up at where Dai was pointing. It was over to a bunch of abandoned buildings, but not just buildings. Warehouses too.)
Yui: "Hmmmm, so should we put colors on it."
(Yui and Selene were in Yui's room making a flyer for the tournament.)
Selene: "Yeah, it will need lots of colors, but the question is what kind of colors."
Yui: "Hmmmm, purple?"
Selene: "Maybe, does our team have a color that goes with it."
Yui: "I don't think so. I don't think we even have a name."
Selene: "Yeah, well then we'll come up with one."
Yui: "But we gotta remember that it isn't just our team that's in the tournament."
Selene: "Oh yeah that's right. Mr. Clone is supposed to be bringing a bunch of people we've never heard about. "
Yui: "Yeah, do you think they'll be young or old."
Selene: "Hmmm, I don't know. He said they'll be ones that haven't really been heard of before."
Yui: "Yeah, but they can still be older. Just never heard of."
Selene: "Yeah that's true."
Yui: "Yeah, well do you think they'll be upset with us at all. I don't know about you, but I haven't been a hero for very long."
Selene: "Oh yeah, me either. They could be mad that they've been heroes for years, while we've been one for a little over a year and are teamed up with the biggest hero around."
Yui: "Yeah, they'll probably be a bit mad."
Selene: "Yeah, but hey, we're strong, right?"
Yui: "We really are. Trained by the Kazu himself."
Selene: "The hero Portaru."
Yui: "Hehe yep."
(They continued working on the flyer. Chatting slightly but nothing too much. Selene and Yui have known each other for awhile, but have never really talked that much. Reo and Yui knew each other before Reo met Selene, but it seemed he didn't really like talking with her. Selene assumed he had a reason behind that, so she tried to avoid Yui, but now that she's talking with her, she kind of likes her. Maybe a new friend. )
Reo: "Alright, let's do this."
(Reo and Selene were in the middle of town where people hung out the most. They were about to get everyone's attention. Sara made Reo go up into the with her ice and gave him a platform to stand on. )
Reo: "Alright all you worthless nerds! Do you wanna do something cool with your pathetic lives?! Well if the answer is yes, then sign up for the tournament! Go against tough opponents and show off your cores with millions watching! Maybe you just want to watch, then it'll cost you! From 100-500 yen probably, you can get a seat and watch me beat everyone to a pulp!"
(A man walked up to the ice and shouted to Reo.)
Man: "Hey, where and when is this show!"
Reo: "Uh, shut up!"
Man: "What?"
Sara: "Reo!"
(Sara used her ice to go up next to Reo.)
Sara: "We'll be somewhere around the city. Time, date, and location will be on a flyer coming to
our city soon."
Man: "Ugh forget this."
(The crowd of people started to walk away, but Sara had to think of something fast to keep them in.)
Sara: "Uh, has anyone seen Portaru fight?"
(They all started to slow down and look at her.)
Sara: "Uh, yeah yeah. The number one hero, Portaru, will be fighting in the tournament."
(They started to slowly come back and listen to her.)
Sara: "So the time and place will be coming soon, so be ready and prepared to watch this amazing battle."
(They all started to get ready for this fight, and Reo whispered to Sara.)
Reo: "Good luck getting Kazu to fight."
Mr. Clone: "Done."
Kazu: "Finally, you called everybody?"
Mr. Clone: "Yes I did. I told some people I knew, and I told them to tell people they knew. I even called the principle of that one top-notch school."
Kazu: "Oh, him? He seemed crazy on tv."
Mr. Clone: "Eh, he's kind of crazy, but he makes great students. Every kid that comes out of that school becomes an amazing powerful hero."
Kazu: "Well I'm gonna take your word for this one."
Mr. Clone: "I won't let you down."
(As they were talking, Protector walked into the room.)
Kazu: "Oh hey Protector. Your idea was great. Everything seems to be going according to plan too."
Protector: "Mhm."
(Protector walked past them and sat onto the couch. He picked up a book that was on the ground that Taku didn't get to put up yet. He started reading it.)
Mr. Clone: "He's not a big talker Kazu. He's a quiet type that attacks from the shadows. "
Kazu: "Oh, ok. Well hope he isn't too quiet at the tournament. I don't want him ignoring the fans that might want to talk to him."
Mr. Clone: "Yeah, he probably will."
Kazu: "Huh?"
(Just then Sara came rushing through the door. Reo came in a little after her, walking at a slow Pace.)
Sara: "Kazu, Kazu, Kazu. So me and Reo were talking up the tournament, and people weren't into it, so I said you were going to fight in it, and then people started to get into it, so I need you to fight in the tournament."
Kazu: "Wait what?"
Reo: "Sara messed up. Now you gotta fight or we get no viewers."
Kazu: "Oh, uh ok. I didn't plan on fighting, but I guess it will be fun. I just hope no one gets upset when I win."
Reo: "When you what?"
Kazu: "Oh, when I win. I mean, I'm pretty sure I can beat everyone in the tournament. It can't be that hard."
(Kazu wasn't really being cocky. Well, he was, but not cause he's that kind of person. He was being cocky to rile up Reo. It looked like Reo wasn't as pumped up as he should be about this kind of stuff, so Kazu thought he'd get him readied up.)
Reo: "You're going down! I'm going to destroy you in front of millions of people!"
Kazu: "Well then you better go get more people to watch. I wanna have the entire city watching after I beat you."
Reo: "Oh you'll see, damn it! Come on, Sara!"
Sara: "Ah!"
(Reo grabbed Sara by the arm and pulled her outside so the two of them can get more viewers. Kazu felt proud of himself.)
Kazu: "Well. looks like I'm fighting."
Mr. Clone: "Can't wait to see you win."
(It was in the middle for the day. Everyone was just sitting around the warehouse. Day's were usually boring for them. They can't go out or heroes will see them, so they have to sit around doing nothing. Z was working on some new things for his arm. Zazz and Cho were talking. Destroyer was punching a punching bag. Smoke and Demon were watching tv, but Kage was in his office. He was looking through everything he has been writing down. He tried to find out weaknesses of all his enemies, even his allies. He wanted to know everything he could know that would help him. There was a knock at his door, he doesn't allow anyone to come in, so he walked up to the door and talked through it.)
Kage: "What?"
Z: "You ever going to let anyone in there?"
Kage: "You ever going to shut up?"
(Kage went through the door to Z without letting him see the office. Kage then closed and locked the door behind him.)
Kage: "Now, what do you want?"
Z: "I want to know the plan."
Kage: "I told you already, the plan is already happening. Right now, we wait."
Z: "But who knows how long the waiting will be. Can't we do something, anything."
Kage: "We don't do anything until it's the right time."
Z: "How do I know when it's the right time?"
Kage: "When I say it is the right time, duh. I thought you were the smart one."
Z: "Ugh, this whole plan is based off of randomness isn't it."
(This made Kage upset. Kage has worked on this plan since he could remember. He worked out every little detail, every problem that could get in his way, everything was worked out, but if he told anyone that plan would be ruined. Kage pushed Z up against the wall and pulled his silver blade out of his sleeve. He held it to Z neck.)
Kage: "You've technically done your part, Z. Me killing you is nothing. The others won't care, and your death doesn't affect the plan at all. So, you wanna shut up before you die."
(Z struggled. Kage was way stronger than he looked, but who knows what kind of abilities he gets from a shadow demon. Just then, there was a loud knock on the door. It echoed through the house. Kage let go of Z and walked over to where the sound was coming from. It was the front door that was being knocked on, and from the sounds of it, it was-)
Ruri: "Hello? Is anyone here?"
Kage: "Heroes."
