Intermission

(With The Mythical Five returning quickly to the dojo, they'd all return to their dojo's main halfway destroyed and their master cleaning up what Xin has done.)

"Wu: MASTER!"
"Tuzi: Who did this?! What happened..?!?"
"Feng: Are you okay master..?!"
"Jie: I am fine, my children. No need to worry..."

(Xiangya would then sniff the air, relying on her feline-like senses to understand the perpetrator.)

"Xiangya: ..Xin Sui."
"All: ...?!"
"Jie: Yes. While you five were dispatched, he made his return to this dojo."
"Wu: ..How long ago was this?"
"Jie: He left as the sun was setting. Unfortunately, he's gotten far stronger than believed. At the age I am now, I could not last another hour against him."
"Gui: Damn it... To think we've wasted our time with those two!"
"Wu: I wouldn't say wasted, dear brother. Miss Niao and Hunter are both exceptional fighters, but the sound of thunder came from Hunter."
"Tuzi: How could you tell?!"
"Wu: His knuckles were charred of it's skin, it indicates he's punched beyond his limit and his knuckles were his sacrifice for such an ear deafening punch. But we will get to that later, what matters is we help our master clean."
"Xiangya: ...I'll help clean in a bit, I have to do something."

(With Xiangya then walking off to her room once again, the others would help their master clean the dojo while Xiangya would open a locked drawer where she keeps bounties of the Ackermans, refusing to let go of her past. As she looked through all the memorable Ackerman names from Wyatt to Richard and even Michael before skipping through nearly every last alive Ackerman who hasn't been captured or killed.)

"Xiangya: ...All of these Ackermans and why the hell is Michael Ackerman truly here in China? But he's not the only issue, that girl Daxton was fighting... Raneri Niao."

(Xiangya would pull out Raneri's Government Hidden File, reading everything there is to know about her and what her Superhuman Attributes are.)

"Xiangya: Its just as I thought, she was a bioengineered creation... But who's DNA was she created under to become so deadly...?"
"Wu: I see you're looking through the files again."
"Xiangya: ...! BROTHER TAO!"
"Wu: Sister Hu, you do not need to hide your feelings from me. I am your first elder brother after all and it's my duty to see that you and the rest of my siblings are okay."
"Xiangya: ...I've been picking my mind a lot lately.. And when we first went to that scene, I noticed Niao. She was a bioengineered human, turned into a Superhuman by a successful experiment. But she was abandoned into the wilderness and somehow made her way into the city of Beijing."
"Wu: Tell you this, why don't we finish cleaning then I'll accompany you to the Research Institute of Beijing?"
"Xiangya: ..Would we even be allowed access, brother?"
"Wu: Its not wise to abuse our authority but if this can get your mind off of things, then I suggest we speak with the researchers there and see what we can find out about her."
"Xiangya: ...Brother. Thank you..."

(As the two then went back to the main dojo hall to continue cleaning, a week has now passed as Raneri was being examined upon by Michael Ackerman, nervous but felt calm enough to ask questions while Mike was learning as much as he could about Raneri's true genetics.)

"Mike: ..."
"Raneri: ..Ackerman?"
"Mike: You can call me Mike."
"Raneri: Um.. Mike? Can I ask another question?"
"Mike: You may."
"Raneri: Are you guys going to abandon me after you're finished with me?"
"Mike: ...What kind of question is that? Of course not."
"Raneri: Sorry. I don't have a good memory of what happened beforehand, but I was left behind years ago. I had to adapt to the jungle for a long time."
"Mike: I see. I promise, we're not gonna leave you behind."
"Raneri: Thank you..."
"Mike: Now, I'd like to ask you a question."
"Raneri: Huh?"
"Mike: Do you have any clue how powerful you were in your Awakening?"
"Raneri: Um.. No. I honestly don't... Why?"

(Mike would then put down his clipboard and gives his focus toward Raneri.)

"Mike: That Awakening you unleashed. Even though it was only for a few seconds, you were strong enough to fillet past Daxton and his defensive attack if The Mythical Five did not step in."
"Raneri: ..Am I- Am I really that strong..?"
"Mike: You are. But living in the wilderness is not how you can become stronger. If you wish to live alongside Daxton, me and the others, we must re-civilize you."
"Raneri: Re-civilize..? But how?"
"Mike: Leave it to me, we'll turn you into a normal girl when we're finished."

(With Mike nearly finishing his work with Raneri, Daxton and the group was then enjoying their class free afternoon as the cafeteria was packed with more higher ranked students, specifically the school minor champions and their friends with high win counts.)

"Daxton: What's happening over there?"
"Ji-Hun: Not sure, but judging by the look of things, those are the school's champions."
"Henry: Well, no matter who they are, lets get something to eat."
"???: Well well well, if it isn't Daxton and his crew."

(Catching the attention of the party was Hanying Academy's Junior Champion with snarky and cocky attitude while carrying a blue strapped championship around his shoulder and behind him were two of his loyal lackies as Daxton wasn't interested in this person.)

"Xiao Gang (Hanying Academy's Junior Champion | School Ranking: #3): Last time you were relevant was back in Japan, why the hell are you here in my school you American hog? You and your pathetic dreads and your skinny looking arms, you actually make a mockery out of all fighting schools dressed like this!"
"Daxton: ..Wow, is this my first time encountering a racist?"
"Renzo: Yup."
"Ji-Hun: Seems like it."
"Henry: Yeah."
"Senri: Mhm."
"Daxton: Huh, this is neat. Well nice to meet you there, but whatever you're selling, I'm not interested in people I haven't heard about. An ugly title like that wouldn't look good on me anyway..."

(With the cafeteria overhearing Daxton's comment, the group would then walk forward to eat before being halted by a second champion, this one being the academy's Women's Champion, a woman who excels in accelerated combat and wears a pink kimono with shades of red across the silk.)

"Zhu Lim (Hanying Academy's Women's Champion | School Ranking: #2): You have such a mouth you know, just because you were given free flights across Asia doesn't mean you can talk down our champions."
"Daxton: My God, is everyone attracted to me this afternoon or something? Can a guy sit down and eat with his friends?"
"Xiao: Actually, we're not gonna let you sit down and eat, you were rude to us and now WE DEMAND AN APOLOGY!"
"Xu Qin (Xiao's 1st Lackey): APOLOGIZE!"
"Ge Kim (Xiao 2nd Lackey): APOLOGIZE!"

(With Renzo's aura becoming increasingly noticeable, the champions would then stare Renzo directly into his eyes before backing off.)

"Renzo: Unless you'd rather the janitors see your dismembered carcasses on these beautiful floors, you will step away from our friend."
"Henry: And if you even step any further to him, you will suffer."

(With the group prepared for combat, Xiao and his lackies and Zhu would then stand down before scoffing cockily and walking away. Applauding the group would be the strongest champion of the school, a master of multiple Martial Arts and a 9x Beijing Martial Arts Tournament Winner. The champion would have a smiling grin on his face and spiky hair and shiny gold eyes.)

"Yuan Li (Hanying Academy's Senior Champion | School Ranking: #1): Wow, I'm impressed! You all stood your guard against those other champions and that's the kind of teamwork I'd love to see!"
"Ji-Hun: Who are you?"
"Yuan: Ah sorry, forgot to introduce myself. My Name is Li Yuan and I'm the Senior Champion at this academy, lets see if I remember... Everest or Everett Hyun, Nakamura, Akikatsu, Williams and Hunter. Are you missing two other people?"
"Daxton: Well... Kin is back home and Mike's busy at the moment."
"Yuan: Aw, such a shame. Either way, I look forward to seeing how strong you get to take this title off of me!"
"Daxton: Wait, what?"
"Yuan: Isn't it obvious? This is your final years here in school, once you're out there in the real world, you're gonna have to go up against the absolute best of the best."
"Daxton: Best of the best? You're saying that outside of schools and academy there's actually more stronger threats out there?"

(Yuan would then drop his smile then was being as serious as he could.)

"Yuan: More than you know. I heard about the "War On Tokyo" incident, I thought that event would be enough to draw you to a conclusion to how much of a gap there is between you and the real fighters out there. But it seems like, you're highly confident that you'll survive even outside the school barriers."

(Daxton would then hesitate and stare at his mechanic arm, despite it looking more human, he was reminded once again of the cold choice he made that day...)

"Henry: Daxton and we will become more stronger than before to survive out there, just watch us and he'll claim the remaining championships and go home!"
"Yuan: "Will he?" is the question."
"Henry: ...?"
"Ji-Hun: What exactly is that suppose to mean?"
"Yuan: Hunter may be seen to others as the feared Bare-Knuckled Devil, but to China's standards, his nickname means absolutely nothing in this country. If you want my honest statement, people in China would fear Indiana and Senri more than you, Daxton."
"Daxton: ...Is that a threat?!"

"Yuan: Its not a threat, but it's the truth. Chinese fighters are one of this world's most sophisticated combat specialists and champions. You are one American man surrounded by a group from international countries. You have belief in your companions, but will they truly stick by your side until your fifteenth title claim? As for the opponents of the future, once you're outside these school walls, it's every man and woman for themself. Not even the strong won't show mercy for the weak or the amateurs."

(Meanwhile in other countries, currently resided in other country champions reigning supreme in fights, reputation status and even harsh crimes to showcase superiority.)

-United Kingdom-

(In the United Kingdom in an underground arena, a defeated former champion was seen killed in the ring with a nailed bat to the skull, standing over their opponent with the United Kingdom's Major title held high was an emotionally unstable masked man whom has been crowned the newest champion of the country.)

"???: Such an enjoyable fight! That poor chap never stood a chance!"
"???: That may be so, but who knew this masked man would climb to the top so quickly?! Pff-haa-haa-haa!"
"???: For the new champion of England!"

(Meanwhile during the crowning of a new champion, a young adult girl wearing an all white dress was seen sitting at a nearby tea cafe, drinking tea in Liverpool, England while holding onto a blood stained doll.)

"???: Mrs. Sally, would you care for more tea...? ..What's that? I totally agree with you, those men were bad.. and they were not talking nicely about you... Did I do good, Mrs. Sally?"

(And lastly hiding in the dark alleys of London, rests a bloody trail on both walls of the alley and a tune being sung through by a charming man in the colors of red and black and was known as the most unforgiveable, most vile and most feared man in the entire United Kingdom whom not even the greatest detectives have yet to catch as he sings a haunting lullaby as he walks deeper into the endless darkness...)

"???: London Bridge is falling down... Falling down... Falling down... London Bridge is falling down, my.. fair.. lady..."

-Canberra, Australia-

(With the fall of a King in Australia, single handedly done by a powerful woman whom has taken the very throne upon herself and was kneeled to by her new enforcers of the country. This very attacker would be a tall adult female with long blonde hair and a silver color schemed clothing specialized in the art of sword combat of multiple styles, naming herself as Empress of The Sword.)

"???: This throne will not do. Peasants, you are to redo this very throne and the entire governmental branch."
"???: B-But, your m-majesty..! Its s-such a quick transition, I think we-"

(Without moving from now her throne, one of her new enforcers were immediately executed for their backtalk towards the queen.)

"???: I have not asked for verbal rebellion, I've placed an order and I hope to see it carried out. NOW!"
"All Enforcers: YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!"

"Yuan: No matter where you go in the world, there will always be more stronger and more dangerous foes. There will always be a final boss in every country, feeding you to the common folk for sport then finishing you off when you no longer have any energy left."

-Samoan Islands-

(With massive Samoan tribes battling amongst one another for the title of Island Chief, only five has remained and the strongest Samoan of the five would release a deafening roar of dominance.)

"???: OOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

(As he'd then effectively take down the remaining four enemy Samoans in his path in cold blood, climbing up the very stairs and with no other Samoan left to stop him, he would wear both the brown colored Ula Fala and the red colored Ula Fala, indicating this powerful Samoan is both the Island Chief and the Champion of the Samoan Islands.)

"???: ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ISLAND'S CHIEF!!!"

(With all Samoan Tribes of the islands raising their fingers high to acknowledge their Island Chief and Samoan Champion, he would bask in the acknowledgement given to him by his own people.)

-Hanying Academy Of Combat, Beijing, China-

"Yuan: You can train together, overpower in numbers and rely on each other... But there will be fights were numbers don't matter and you'd still lose. Heed my advice, Hunter. Don't get too carried away and hide behind your allies, it'll only give you more of a reason for people to not be scared of you. No matter the fights you win, do you understand what I'm telling you?"

(With no one of the group saying another word, they all were then annoyed yet irritated with their eyes shaded by darkness after what was blurted out of his mouth.)

"Yuan: Oh well! Hopefully I was able to help, here's my lunch card so you guys can get some of the best meals! See you guys around!"

(With Yuan confidently walking off, Daxton would rip Yuan's card in half as he was then pissed off.)

"Daxton: I'm not even hungry anymore."

(With the group then returning to their dorms after no longer interested in any food, Daxton was sitting alone and thinking about everything Yuan told him, including of the dangerous people that could be out there, waiting for him...)

"Daxton: ...Outside the school boundaries, I don't know what the hell could be waiting for me... I already hate the guy, but he's right... I need to somehow get stronger and control myself, but how...?"

(With Daxton deep in thought and thinking what can he do to get stronger, many questions were unanswered as his mind jumbled all day into the night, wondering what he can do then...)
