"THWIP" a sound comes out of the hook-like devices from M1ke's belt as he swings across the city.
"I am closing in on the target from the top. How are things on your end? Could you find a way to get him from the front?" M1ke communicates to Tommy through a device attached to his ear as he continues swinging through the city while following a man in a black hood.
"Can't confirm the direction yet, but should be close however." Tommy replies while running as he spots the target running towards the side from the gap between the junction of the walls in the lane he's currently in.
"Alright, target spotted! Not from the front but I am in a close vicinity from behind now." Tommy continues as he runs from between the gap of the walls to the left towards the target.
"Alright, I can see you now. Yep, you're really close. Just in a few meters both you and I will be caught up to him." M1ke replies back as he swings really high, sets his body straight, does a backflip in the air and takes the dive towards the direction of the target but immediately has a change of expression on his face.
"Change of plans Tommy. I can dive right in front of the target in a matter of seconds, you attack him from behind." M1ke continues after analyzing the best possible situation mid air for the capture of the target.
"THREE… TWO… ONE!!!" Both M1ke and Tommy scream as Tommy releases his repulsive force attack towards the target and sends him flying towards M1ke who immediately releases his strings upon landing in such a manner that they form a net to capture the target who just got sent flying by Tommy's attack.
Right upon the capture of the target, an old man comes running towards the scene of the capture panting heavily and says, "HAH! THEY'VE FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO YOU!! NOW TELL US WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS!!!"
Just then, in an armored car, Mari shows up with a girl not much older than Tommy who comes running towards the old man to give him a tight hug and screams, "I WAS SO SCARED DAD… I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!"
"Everything is okay though! Thanks to the military folks! I'm just glad you're safe!" The old man exclaims.
"Well, guess they're reunited." Mari speaks up as she comes out of her car.
"Thank you for bringing her back to me! I mean it from the bottom of my heart! I don't know what I would've done if something had happened to her!" The old man expresses his gratitude with tears in his eyes.
"Relax old man, you don't need to think about her passing now sheesh!" Tommy exclaims upon hearing the melodramatic words from the old man.
"He's right, dad! I am safe! That's all that matters! You just said it too!" The daughter joins in.
"Haha! I agree! By the way, why don't you guys come by my store? I don't have much to give but you guys are free to take whatever you wish! It's right there!" The old man replies as he points towards his store nearby.
"There's no need for that! It's our job as the peacekeepers of the city-" M1ke tries to speak up but gets immediately tugged through his shoulder sleeve by Mari who says, "Tommy's already heading to the store with the old man, who are you talking to?"
M1ke sighs and screams, "Wait up Tommy! We can't just leave the fugitive tied here!", but it doesn't reach Tommy or the shopkeeper's ears.
M1ke sighs again and drags the fugitive along with him who is now in the net. On M1ke's way to the store, the fugitive starts screaming, "PLEASE LET ME GO!! I SWEAR I DIDN'T INTEND TO KILL THAT GIRL!! I JUST DID IT ON ORDER OR I WOULD BE THE DEAD ONE!!"
M1ke just replies, "Yeah whatever you creep.", and walks along.
Scene shifts to Tommy checking the bookstore out and spotting the latest issue of "Science Fight", upon seeing which, sparkles show up in his eyes. Just then, right outside the store, M1ke hears a faint sound which is then followed by the fugitive in the net bag starting to scream as his skin shrinks in to the point his bones are visible and his eyeballs fall off while blood pours out from his nose, his ears, his mouth and where his eyeballs used to be.
While Mari immediately evaluates that the fugitive was struck by a poison dart, M1ke evaluates the position the poison dart was shot from as a faraway building.
Immediately, the hooks on M1ke's belt grab Tommy before he could even pick up the latest issue of "Science Fight" and swings at high speed through the city towards that building while Tommy swings with him upside down and feeling the G forces of the swing drastically which causes him to feel nauseated and put his hands on his mouth.
After swinging mere seconds, M1ke takes his last swing with Tommy hanging upside down to the other hook as he takes a dive from a high altitude towards the building he had just spotted moments ago and Tommy gets dragged with him.
While M1ke makes a smooth landing, Tommy falls SPLAT and feels his head spinning. M1ke assesses the area and has the conclusion, "He ran away…", in his mind.
Tommy comes back to his senses and screams, "WHAT WAS ALL THAT FOR!?" to which M1ke replies, "The fugitive we had just caught got shot by a poison dart and I happened to spot the sniper on this building, so I swung with you all the way here."
"AND HE ISN'T HERE! YOU KNOW. CONSIDERING HOW FAST YOU ARE OLD MAN, YOU COULD'VE WAITED A FEW MORE SECONDS FOR ME TO GRAB THE LATEST ISSUE OF SCIENCE FIGHT!! AND EVEN THEN YOU MISSED THE SNIPER ANYWAY!! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF COMING HERE SO FAST THEN!! I HATE THIS!!" Tommy starts throwing a temper tantrum.
"Relax kid, you can grab it anytime ya know! And besides! We don't do this for the sake of the prize." M1ke replies back to Tommy's tantrum.
"OH COME ON… WE'RE HEROES… IF WE CAN'T REAP A LITTLE REWARD HERE AND THERE THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING FANS…" Tommy continues his tantrum.
"Listen kid, being a hero is not about letting others know you did the right thing. It is about YOU knowing you did the right thing. Being a hero is a reward by itself!" M1ke talks back to Tommy with a smug face while thinking in his head, "God damn I am such a badass!"
M1ke's smug thoughts however are interrupted into complete despair and disappointment by Tommy replying, "Stop yapping nonsense from the gift cards at the store old man… I am leaving for school, I am getting late… It's my first day anyway…"
"Hey wait! I've got a gift for you!" M1ke calls out to Tommy before he leaves.
"I don't need another school item old man, I've got plenty." Tommy replies back.
"Oh it's none of that. I've got you a cool weapon." M1ke says as he searches through the bag attached to his belt.
"A weapon…?" Tommy mumbles while looking back.
M1ke then takes out a cylindrical looking object with a cross section in the middle and says, "Here you go."
Tommy takes the weapon and asks, "What does it do…?", to which M1ke replies, "Squeeze the cross section in between your palms, you'll know."
On squeezing the cross section, the cylindrical weapon expands into a long metal stick.
"That's it…?" Tommy replies back to M1ke with a disappointed expression on his face.
"LET ME CONTINUE ITS USES! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'D GIVE YOU SOMETHING USELESS!!" M1ke screams upon hearing Tommy's childish dissatisfaction and continues, "Anyways, twist the top cylinder on the metal stick after expanding it."
Upon following M1ke's instructions, on turning the top cylinder, a sharp protrusion comes out which turns the bland metal stick into a capable spear.
On seeing that, Tommy seems a little more interested. M1ke then continues, "Now twist the cylinder further."
On doing that, the sharp end of the spear starts radiating electricity. On observing that, Tommy exclaims, "Woah! Cool!"
M1ke then continues, "If you keep twisting it clockwise, you can find more settings like heat, laser beam, etc. Like it now?"
"YES!!" Tommy screams with sparkles in his eyes and continues, "Anyway, I'm off to school old man, see ya!", as he retracts the spear back to its small form, puts it in his school bag and starts running towards his school.
"His mood sure changed on getting a gift. Kids these days… Greedy as hell…" M1ke speaks to himself.
"He's a kid. All kids are like that. Better cherish that brattiness before it fades away as he grows… Especially in our line of work…" Mari says to M1ke upon showing up there.
"I guess… But it's really annoying ya know… I was never like that as a kid…" M1ke replies back to Mari's intervention on his thoughts.
"Yeah right…" Mari thinks to herself.
The scene shifts to Tommy almost there on his way to school. On his way, he spots Yoko walking ahead of him in the same direction so he decides to run faster to put his palms in front of her eyes and say, "Sup!"
Yoko then turns back and hugs Tommy saying, "Great timing! Let's go together!", as they hold hands on their way to school.
Right upon entering through the school gates, everyone's attention diverts to the lively and super young couple holding hands.
"Oh my god he is so handsome." A crowd of girls start mumbling to themselves.
"Damn she's so cute." A crowd of boys also start mumbling to themselves.
"They look perfect together…" Both crowds think to themselves.
"Yo Tommy!" A girl speaks up to Tommy who had just entered the school.
"Uh… Sup? Have we met before…?" Tommy replies with a confused expression.
"Tommy, who is this girl…?" Yoko asks Tommy with a hostile look.
"I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW! DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!" Tommy replies to Yoko with a scared expression while thinking to himself, "What's up with her…?"
"Oh don't worry! I won't steal him from you! I just wanted to greet an old friend! That's all!" The girl speaks to Yoko who then replies with a smile and an eased up expression, "Oh! I'm sorry for assuming haha!"
"So Tommy! Have you really forgotten me?" The girl asks while fiddling her hair.
"Hmmm… STEFAN??" Tommy thinks to himself for a bit and exclaims immediately.
"Almost there! I go by the name Stefanie now!" The girl replies.
"Stefanie…? Haha so you have finally chosen what you want to be eh?" Tommy replies.
"Yep! All thanks to you my friend!" Stefanie replies while offering Tommy her hand for a handshake.
"Man that's so cool though, you are bold for that." Tommy replies to Stefanie as he shakes her hand.
"Anyways, let me give you and your girlfriend there a tour! I am used to this place since I skipped a year ahead to get here because of my high grades! I am already a year ahead of you both so it's the least I can do as a good senior and a friend" Stefanie says to both Tommy and Yoko.
"Sure!" Both Tommy and Yoko exclaim the offer.
"So Stefanie, what's up with Tommy calling you Stefan before…? If you don't mind of course!" Yoko asks Stefanie on their way.
"Oh that… I don't mind! We've got plenty of time! Here goes!" Stefanie replies back to Yoko.and continues the story behind it.
Scene shifts back to a few years ago…
"Yo Stefan, what's up with the long hair? It's getting in your eyes! Can you even see the road?" Young Tommy speaks to to "Stefan"
"Yeah I can see just fine! I just thought it'd be more fashionable…" Stefan replies with a shy expression.
"Whatever you say boss. Anyway, we've finally reached the new secret base I discovered yesterday!" Tommy replies back to Stefan.
"Woah! Soon we'll form an entire group of superheroes here!" Stefan replies as both him and Tommy step inside a cave that Tommy claims will be their new secret base.
They both start sticking posters of manga characters on the walls and sit down there to draw doodles of Superheroes for a bit.
"Here's my superhero Dragon Man! ROAR!!" Tommy exclaims.
"Here's my superhero Laser Lady! PEW PEW!!" Stefan exclaims.
"Hey but that's a girl! And you're a boy! How will that role fit you!?" Tommy exclaims again.
"I just thought it'd be cool… The dress looked cute to me…" Stefan replies to Tommy with a rather shy expression.
"It looks lame! Girls are always busy playing with dolls and doing their smoochie smoochie lame crap!" Tommy replies back with an expression of disgust.
"I'm sure not all girls are like that Tommy! Besides! You're the biggest Mama's boy I know! How come you don't have cooties yet!" Stefan replies with an awkward expression.
"Because it's my mom! She's the coolest and an exception! Hmph! Either way! Careful soldier! Get too close to them and you might catch cooties!" Tommy replies to Stefan with a scary expression which surprisingly scares Stefan.
"Anyways, they can be cute I guess! I would totally marry someone like the War Angel from Lightsaber Man! Wouldn't you agree?" Tommy continues to which Stefan mumbles, "I wish I was like her instead…"
"Are you saying something?" Tommy replies while eating from a bag of chips he had brought to which Stefan replies, "Uh nothing!"
After a few hours of just playing superhero around with their toys, they fall asleep. At some point of time, a group of fat kids arrive at the cave and the leader screams, "WAKEY WAKEY NERDS!!!"
Tommy and Stefan wake immediately, get a scared expression on their face and run from towards the sides of the cave, to the exit.
Much to Stefan's dismay however, while Tommy manages to escape, he gets grabbed by his shorts and falls down.
"Hey boss! Why does he have War Angel underwear that girls wear hahaha!?" The kids start laughing at Stefan as they grab hold of him, hang him upside down on a tree branch and start throwing insects at him to scare him and scream, "WHAT A GIRL HAHAHA!!"
From the bushes, Tommy sees all this happen and gets furious. He then gets hold of a slingshot, spots a bee's nest overhead of the bullies and strikes it down with a rock which sends the bees out to attack the bullies.
After they're all gone, Tommy rushes to rescue the crying Stefan who hugs Tommy with tears in his eyes and screams, "I WAS SO SCARED!!"
"So Stefan… What's up with the girl's gear fiasco…? You've been acting strange lately…" Tommy asks with a raised eyebrow and a skeptical expression.
"It's nothing… I am a boy… I just…" Stefan mumbles but can't get himself to speak further.
"SPEAK TO ME STEFAN! ARE YOU GONNA GIVE THE SILENT TREATMENT TO YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND? YOU'VE BARELY BEEN COMING OUT OF YOUR HOUSE! BARELY TALKING TO ME! BARELY COMING TO PLAY THESE DAYS! I WAS LUCKY TO GET A CHANCE IN HELL TO HAVE YOU OUT AFTER SO LONG!! SO TELL ME WHAT IS IT? I AM WORRIED!" Tommy screams to Stefan while putting his hands on his shoulders.
"Tommy… It's just… Lately I've not been feeling very comfortable dressing like a boy… I told my mom about this… She fixed me some appointments with this counselor who has been helping me with this problem… My mom got me some skirts… Items usually girls would use… I started to use them at home… I felt more… comfortable… Like I was myself… I took out all this hair that was suddenly growing on me… I felt better…
But then came school time… I felt so embarrassed as a boy to be doing stuff like this… I couldn't stand myself but I also didn't want to keep being like… A boy… I see all these girls… I want to grow my hair out and freely roam in skirts too… I don't wanna be like other boys… I don't like wearing boyish clothes… I don't wanna be some Superman… I feel fine the way I was at home… That's why I avoided everyone… I didn't want to lose a friend like you just because I can't man up over a temporary suffocating feeling of… UGH…" Stefan mumbles again but can't get themself to speak further.
"What is suffocating? Tell me!" Tommy exclaims again.
"THE SUFFOCATING FEELING OF FORCING MYSELF TO BE A BOY! I LIKE BEING ADDRESSED LIKE A GIRL, I LIKE BEING A GIRL, I WANT TO BE A GIRL, I AM A GIRL!! I WAS NOT BORN TO BE A BOY!! I CAN'T STAND IT!! IT'S ANNOYING AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MYSELF!! I HATE BEING LOOKED AT AS A BOY BECAUSE I WEAR CLOTHES LIKE ONE, I HATE BEING CALLED A BOY, I HATE THINKING I'LL HAVE TO BE ONE ALL MY LIFE…
EVEN… Even my mom and my counselor said I should be myself, a girl, but I couldn't… I didn't want to be a laughingstock for the school… What nonsense would that be right…? How can a boy become a girl… Stupid… That's why I couldn't show my face outside… I am just a disappointment in the name of a boy… Why did I have to be born a boy… Maybe I should die… I am so weird after all… Then everyone can be happy right…? RIGHT?" Stefan screams every pent up emotion they had and grabs Tommy by the collar.
Tommy then gets Stefan's hands off of himself and punches them in the face which makes them fall to the ground. Tommy then grabs Stefan by the collar and slams them onto a tree with tears in his eyes and says, "WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DYING?! IF YOU'RE A GIRL THEN BE ONE!? WHY DO YOU THINK I'D BE HURT IF YOU'RE HAPPY!?! I'D HAVE TO BE A JERK TO NOT LET MY OWN BEST FRIEND HAVE… *Her* happiness… I feel sad you even felt that I'd be so cruel towards you…"
"Tommy…" Stefan mumbles with tears in their eyes.
"What is it you punk? Wanna hurt me more? THEN BRING IT! I WILL PUNCH SOME SENSE INTO YOU!!" Tommy screams back at Stefan while wiping his tears with his arm.
Stefan then hugs Tommy and screams, "I AM SORRY!! I… I… I should've trusted you more… What kind of best friend even am I now…"
"YOU IDIOT!! WHY WOULD I BREAK OUR FRIENDSHIP OVER THIS STUPID CONVO!! THAT'D MAKE ME A HYPOTHESIS AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE SAID!!" Tommy screams back.
"You mean Hypocrite…?" Stefan replies laughing.
"SHUT UP!!" Tommy screams back yet again.
"Haha… Thanks Tommy… You really are the bestest friend I could've asked for… I feel better now" Stefan replies to Tommy with a smile.
"Gross! You're too emotional! I hate girls like that!" Tommy speaks back.
"A girl…" Stefan thinks to herself with an expression of comfort.
"What are you standing there thinking about? Let's go home! I am gonna beat you at a game of Lightsaber Man: Battle Royale as punishment sis!" Tommy looks back and says to Stefan.
"Yeah!" Stefan replies with a big smile as they both leave to play some video games.
The scene changes back to where we were before… Middle school…
"Ah what a cute tale… You both are so adorable…" Yoko says while crying loudly after hearing the tale.
"Eh it's not all that honestly. Just a usual tale of friends helping each other out." Tommy replies to Yoko with a sweaty expression.
"I agree with Tommy there." Stefanie also replies to Yoko with a sweaty and awkward expression.
The scene shifts to the playground side of things…
"Hey boss… Why's everyone looking at those two instead of us…" A kid with a big nose speaks up to a fat kid that's supposedly the leader of his little gang.
"Huh what? Wait… I've seen those two somewhere… OH YES! THAT'S THE LOSER TOMMY! WAIT… THAT GIRL… THAT SURELY CAN'T BE THAT BOYISH BITCH FROM A YEAR AGO WHO CHANGED SCHOOLS…" The kid speaks up to his gang members and continues, "Time to teach Tommy a lesson for that day and ruin his image from day one boys!" as they all start walking towards Tommy.
"YO WIMP! IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR SINCE WE LAST MET" The fat kid speaks up to Tommy.
"Excuse me, do I know you?" Tommy replies with an expression of disgust on his face and thinks to himself, "Who the hell is this ugly kid? And what does he want from me?"
"YOU FORGOT ME? I AM CHRIS! I USED TO BEAT YOU UP IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REMEMBER?" The fat kid named Chris screams back at Tommy in rage.
On hearing "I USED TO BEAT YOU UP IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL", the expression of the immobilized crowd changes a bit.
"Beat me up? Sorry dude, I just don't like committing acts of animal abuse and that includes hitting a fat monkey even if it annoys me. It's just in the nature of such creatures, I should know better than to monkey back at a fat monkey right?" Tommy replies to Chris with a smug face with his sticking tongue out.
Upon hearing Tommy's trash talk, the entire crowd starts laughing at Chris who obviously gets pissed off by that and gets an expression of pure red rage on his face.
"TALKING BIG EH!? I'LL SHOW YOU WHO THE BOSS HERE IS!!" Chris screams as he charges towards Tommy but much to his dismay, Tommy dodges it with ease and then hits him with his elbow onto his back which makes him fall SPLAT onto the ground.
"WHY YOU!?! DON'T GET COCKY OVER A LUCKY DODGE!!" Chris screams again while charging at Tommy with a barrage of punches which Tommy also dodges easily.
As Chris continues punching the air, there comes a point where Tommy gets out of the way and Chris crashes into a yard full of manure.
"Didn't know you were a plant now! And here I thought you'd be a monkey forever!" Tommy replies laughing.
Chris then screams, "I AM GOING TO BEAT YOU UP SO BAD THAT YOU'LL END UP IN A HOSPITAL!!!", and charges towards Tommy again but this time, he actually starts using accurate defense and blocks one of his punches.
On seeing his most powerful punch blocked, Chris gets even more upset and uses his other fist but Tommy lands a counter on him which pushes him back. He gets up once again to charge at Tommy with a kick but Tommy manages to get down in no time and strikes Chris's crotch with an upward kick from below which sends him flying with pain.
"So many wasted opportunities for a counter. No rhythm in your moves. You really do fight like a monkey." Tommy speaks up as he walks towards Chris with a scary look in his eyes, grabs him by the hair, lifts him and says, "From now on, I am your boss. Now here's the first order of business. DIETING!! Every day for the next 30 days, you'll give your lunch to the kids you've bullied while you take ten rounds of the playground during lunch break. Got it?"
"OKAY BOSS BUT WHY THOSE WIMPS-" Chris tries to reply with a scared expression while screaming but gets interrupted by Tommy's stare getting sharper as he replies back saying, "Either you get it or I am going to beat you up even MORE!"
Upon hearing that, Chris gets down on his knees and screams, "YES BOSS!!", looks back at his underlings and screams, "YOU IDIOTS!! COME HERE!! HE'S THE NEW BOSS NOW!! GET ON YOUR KNEES WITH ME AND PRAISE HIM!!"
On hearing his orders and noticing the fearsome feats Tommy had shown, which were obviously not even one percent of his skill, they all get onto their knees and start saying, "ALL HAIL BOSS TOMMY!! ALL HAIL BOSS TOMMY!!!"
"Yo wait! It's that young boy who stopped an anti-military terrorist yesterday!" One of the students there speaks up.
As all of them start realizing the true strength and fame of Tommy, nearly the entire school gathers around him.
While Tommy is full of himself thinking, "I can get used to that!" with a smug face, Stefanie just says to Yoko, "He sure has become quite a handful. But it's good to see him strong and happy… Especially after what happened a year ago…", with a smile, to which, Yoko with a gentle smile also replies, "I hope it stays that way… Minus the ego boost part…"
One of the girls in the crowd then kisses Tommy's cheek and asks for his autograph which immediately pisses Yoko off into beating the entire crowd up while Stefanie just leaves with an awkward and scared expression saying, "I'll leave you two love birds here… BYE!", while the gang of bullies also follow her saying, "WAIT DON'T LEAVE US HERE WITH THESE FREAKS!?!"
The scene shifts to a few hours later…
It is lunch break. Yoko is staring down any students who are trying to approach Tommy with an angry and scary expression while he's hungry since he forgot to bring his lunch to school.
"What's up Tommy, forgot your lunch?" Yoko turns back with a gentle expression to ask Tommy.
"Yeah…" Tommy replies.
"You can have mine." Yoko changes to Tommy.
"You're the best…" Tommy replies to them but then immediately he gets called by Petra who is at the school gate screaming his name, "TOMMY!! TOMMYYY!!"
"What's up Petra?" Tommy runs towards the gate to ask.
"You forgot your lunch so I brought it here instead! It's your favorite!" Petra replies while handing Tommy's lunch bag to him.
"Thank you Petra…" Tommy replies as his stomach makes a huge roar.
After Petra, Tommy and Yoko have a small laugh over that, Petra continues, "Oh by the way! I have a memo from Mr. M1ke!"
"A memo from that old man? Must be a lecture… Keep it with yourself…" Tommy replies before leaving immediately.
"TOMMY!!! WHAT WILL I TELL MR. M1KE THEN!!" Petra screams but by then, Tommy was already too far away.
"Give the memo to me Ms. Petra. I'll give him the details later!" Yoko speaks up to Petra.
"You're such a good girl! Thank you! Why don't you come to have dinner with Tommy tonight?" Petra replies.
"Dinner…? Won't it be too much for me to be there as well…?" Yoko replies back.
"Oh no not at all! Especially since Mr. M1ke is on strict investigation duty tonight and I am the babysitter in charge of Tommy and his brother Oliver!" Petra reassures Yoko.
"O-Okay! I'll be there by 8 then!" Yoko replies back to Petra's reassurance.
"Hehe! I'll be glad to make Tommy's girlfriend some food too! See ya!" Petra replies before running back home.
"It feels so good to hear others acknowledge me as his girlfriend hehe!" Yoko thinks to herself while blushing intensely and runs back to Tommy.
"Yo Tommy!" Yoko speaks up to Tommy.
"Hey Yoko! Where were you?" Tommy replies back
"Oh Ms. Petra invited me to dinner with you guys today hehe!" Yoko replies back.
"Ooh nice!" Tommy speaks back to Yoko.
"Oh, I also got Mr. M1ke's memo-" Yoko tries to reply but Tommy puts his hands on his ears and says, "Oh god please don't recite that boring lecture…", but Yoko continues anyway reading, "Yo Tommy! How's school? Actually, just tell me that in person, no way you can tell me through a written memo haha!"
"This man really finds the unfunniest little things funny…" Tommy mumbles.
"So anyways, I don't wanna give a boring lecture to you this time. This is serious talk. The military is hosting its entrance exams soon. I thought it's time you join us officially. I've sent you a form in the pamphlet along with the memo! Fill it up and submit it to Petra, she'll deliver it to the examination authorities and get you a number and entry date! Good luck kid! It's not gonna be as easy as you think!" Yoko continues reading.
Tommy's eyes then turn as he walks towards Yoko to take the pamphlet and the form from her and says, "Military exam eh? Finally… It's my time to shine baby!"
"I thought you'd be more worried hearing that." Yoko speaks up to Tommy.
"Worried? No way! Now this is what I'm talking about! Some action!" Tommy replies back to Yoko all fired up.
"I really hope you don't get yourself in trouble… Please be safe…" Yoko thinks to herself upon seeing how overconfident Tommy has been lately and how even someone like M1ke warned him that it won't be easy.
