Tatsu, Akira, Hana and Jin pass Kamurocho Hills to face the apartment they were looking for. The young protestors shouting for Kaido's fall loitered in front of it. The Immortal Dragon continued to walk with Hana and Jin until they noticed Akira's absence. Glancing back they found him standing a few feet back.

Tatsu: You put your right leg out, then your left. And repeat.

Akira: I didn't forget to walk, but you seemingly forgot to look around.

Akira: That street is full of protestors.

Tatsu: So what?

Hana: He's got a point... It's odd. What are they doing here?

Jin; Did they figure out where she lives too?

Tatsu: Again. So what? I don't care if they're here or in New Orleans! We got a girl to talk to. Why they're here doesn't matter.

Akira: Tch. Try to think of the bigger picture.

Tatsu:(rolls eyes)

Tatsu charges ahead, the other three follow behind. The protestors quickly take notice of the gang and approach, preventing the four from continuing.

Protestor¹: Whoa-ho! We've gotta ask you to turn around. This is a no go zone.

Hana: Uhh... Don't you know who he is?

Protestor²: We know. Changes nothing. We got our orders.

Akira: Orders?

Tatsu: Out of my way.

Protestor¹: Like I said-

[Tatsu equiped an item!!]

[It's a pepper shaker..?]

Having pulled out a pepper shaker, Tatsu silent the crowd who thought he was going to pull out a gun. They all remained silent in confusion as they realized what he took out. Unscrewing the cap, Tatsu licks his middle and ring finger before dipping them in the pepper shaker to coat them.

Jin: Yeah.... You guys should move, like now! This isn't a good sign.

Tatsu: RAH!!

Protestor¹: URK!?!

[Essence Of Pepper]

Shoving the two pepper coated fingers up their nose, Tatsu lifts them to their toes.

Protestor¹: A-A-ACHOOO!?

Sneezing with Tatsu's fingers up his nose, the protestor began bleeding from the nose. Tatsu then casually tosses pepper into the eyes of another protestor then throws the shaker at another before tossing the first guy aside.

This was the power of his new Cruel Dragon Style.

Tatsu:(wicked chuckle)

Akira: Dear God, he's getting creative.

Tatsu:(smirks) Let's go.

Continuing to the door, they find an intercom. Pressing the keys to call Hinari Kobeni, the victim of Kaito that came to them, they listen to the buz. Someone then answered, the voice was distorted by the old intercom but it was definitely female.

Hinari?:(intercom) Hello...?

Tatsu: Yo, is this Hinari Kobeni?

Hinari:(intercom) Yes.

Tatsu: Get your ass out here, you gotta tell this cop I know your story.

Hinari:(intercom) My story?

Hana: Ugh... This is a sensitive subject, Tatsu!

Pulling on his hair, Hana pulls him away.

Tatsu: Agh!

Hana: Hinari-chan, It's me, Hana. Listen we want to help you but we need you to come with us.

Hinari:(intercom) I'm sorry...but you've got the wrong-

Kaito: What's going on here?

Tatsu/Hana/Jin/Akira:!?

Tatsu's opponent in the debate, Kaito arrived with his bodyguard Daisuke.

Behind the two, a limo drives off. The four shake away their shock to confront Abe.

Tatsu: What are you doing here?!

Kaito: I could ask you the same thing... I for one LIVE here.

Hana:(whispers) This is probably where the molesting takes place.

Tatsu:(glares)

Kaito: Now why are you four here? Isn't enough that your "clan" loiters around here?

Tatsu: We're here to see someone.

Jin: A friend. Who can find us at NEW SERENA!!!

Hana:(deadpan) Real subtle....

Jin: Got any better ideas?

Kaito: All of you leave. Or my bodyguard will have to escort you out.

Jin: Yeah, we'll leave-

Tatsu: I ain't going anywhere until I speak with Hinari Kobeni.

Kaito:?!

Akira: What's wrong? Neighbor of yours? We aren't here for you, so leave us to our business.

The politician's eye twitches, he looks away in distress.

Kaito: Daisuke...

Daisuke: Got it.

Walking past Kaito, Daisuke grabs Akira by the scruff of his shirt. The Lethal Tiger immediately swung his arm to try and knock their grip away but to his shock their grip stayed strong. Akira wasted no time punching Daisuke but that failed as well, the bodyguard caught Akira's arm by the wrist and proceeded to throw him all the way to the streets.

With the guy who could rival Tatsu having gotten thrown aside, the other three became visibly shocked. Jin and Hana were next, thrown at Akira, Tatsu was left face to face with the man who threw three young adults like they were sacks of rice.

Daisuke: Walk or toss. You choose, you wannabe Yakuza.

Tatsu:(glares) Wannabe?

Clenching his fist, Tatsu throws a punch.

*WOOSH*

*BAM*

His attack misses as the trained guard dodges and punches Tatsu across the face. The attack sent the Immortal Dragon tumbling into the door behind him. With a ringing head, Tatsu stumbled to stop himself from sliding to the ground.

Daisuke: Hmph.

Tatsu: Lucky shot...

*WHAM*

Throwing a punch that landed against Daisuke's chin, Tatsu stared enraged that his punch did not even make the man flintch.

Daisuke: I'm not that loser you fought three years ago. I'm a real god damn man...YOU BRAT!

*KABLAM*

With another punch, Tatsu was knocked through the glass door his body lands on the shards. Daisuke then dragged Tatsu by the leg out of the apartment. Picking up the young adult, Dausuk throws him towards the streets.

*STOMP*

Having turned around to leave, Daisuke glances back to see Tatsu had landed on his feet. Hana stood beside him with a baseball bat poking out her bag. Jin squatted and glared daggers at the body guard whilst Akira cracked his neck in front of Tatsu.

Tatsu: Where are you going "Real Man"?

Daisuke: Walk away brats. The police will only believe us if we were to call.

Tatsu: Tch!

Tatsu: Kaito! We know what you did!

Kaito:...

Tatsu: This is far from over.

The two enter the apartment complex. Tatsu wanted badly to rush in and beat up Daisuke, despite his better judgement. But before he could dash in, Jin tugged on his arm.

Both protestors and the media had come. Having somehow sniffed out the drama.

Jin: Let's dash.

Tatsu: Tch.

Jin: We'll split up and meet back up at the bar. We'll draw less attention that way.

Hana: Tatsu, try not to cause a scene.

His friends scatter.

Tatsu: Tch, why'd she call me out?!

[Later that day.....]

Tatsu arrives at New Serene. The new detective was not there to greet him. Instead he found his friends and the lady herself Hinari Kobeni.

Tatsu:?

She sat timidly next to Hana at the bar. Akira was leaning against a wall and Jin sat off to the side.

Jin:(mumbles) My subtle tactic worked...♪

Hana:(rolls eyes)

Tatsu: Good, you found us. We'll call the Detective and you-

Hinari: No police!

Akira: Welcome to the problem...

Tatsu: Why not?

Hinari: You found my place... I won't survive if I speak out...

Hana: The police will protect you.

Hinari: You've gotta get the evidence first...

Akira: And WHERE can we get it?

Hinari:.... A love hotel... Here... In Kamurocho.

Hana: Thank you, Hinari-chan. You're very brave for all this. Let us take care of the rest.

Tatsu: Buy yourself a drink and stay here.

Hana: I'll stay here with-

*RAHHHHH*

A loud roar of voices could be heard from outside. The gang could not simply ignore that odd and violent shouting. The four went to investigate, Hinari did not follow. Getting to the streets, the four followed the sound of yelling and chased it down a few blocks. They found the protesting youths rampaging in front of the Millennium Tower. Wild teens and young adults were trashing nearby businesses, throwing objects through glass and any guards who came in their way.

Akira: The hell is going on!?

Jin: They've all gone feral!

Hana: If this keeps up the riot team is going to come knocking on their skulls.

Tatsu: Tch! HEY! WHAT THE HELL HAS GOTTEN INTO ALL OF YOU?!

His voice landed upon deaf ears.

Akira:(sarcastically) Try screaming louder...

Tatsu: Tch.

Hana: Look!

She points at a guy with a megaphone, riling up the riot to get more and more violent.

Tatsu: What the hell is going on!?

Megaphone Rioter: We've all heard the news! Kaido Abe is a pedophile! This debate crap is bullshit! We want him on a pike or we'll find him!!

Hana: Damn it, they heard?!

Rioter: DOWN WITH ABE! DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM!! ALL HAIL THE IMMORTAL DRAGON!!

Tatsu: Tch! It's one thing to riot because you're angry, but to pin this crap on me!?!

Tatsu: We're breaking up this riot! If this carries on, I'll get blamed for this bullshit and won't be able to kick Abe's ass in the debate!

Tatsu: Let's not forget, if we can't find the evidence to put him down before thr debate ends... I'll never get close again to give him a ass kicking!

Jin: *sigh* At least you're thinking ahead....

(Vs Rioters)

The four jumped into the riot and began to use violence to calm down these wild kids. Tatas in his Brawling Dragon style punched a path through the crowd, getting himself deep into frey.

*WHAM*

Headbutting a rioter, Tatsu picked them up and threw them into a bunch of other people. This finally caught the attention of several of these kids who circled around The Dragon, not realizing who he was.

Yet.

Jin: Hugh!

Uppercuting a guy in the jaw, Jin combed them with a following haymaker. Two guys with large protest signs then came swinging at Jin who swiftly backed up until hitting a person. Spinning around they knock them out cold with a punch before turning around and getting smacked with two signs so hard he goes air born for s moment.

Landing, Jin stumbles a bit before catching his footing.

Getting his eyes back on the bigger guys, who now had a few people rushing ahead of them, Jin winded up his arms and dashed in, like a boxer he smashed his fist against the faces of the lesser threats, knocking them to the ground so he could deal with the bigger guys.

With a great leap, he dropped his fist on a guy, knocking him into a daze. The other sign wielder swung but missed the quick footed Jin, knocking out his own friend.

[Essence Of Liver Punches]

Ducking under one swing, Jin watches them heavily choreograph and over head swing, sliding in close, Jin just begins whaling on their liver, punching it relentlessly until the guy fell flat on the ground.

Jin: Phew... That's enough of...that...?

Jin spots five more sign bearers stomping towards him.

Jin: Mam...

Running towards them, Jin leaps and spreads his body wide as he throws himself at them to knock all of them down.

*SLAM*

*KLUNCK*

With her wooden baseball bat with a large nail out, Hana began bonking rioter after rioter with the none nail side of her bat, knocking out as many as she could.

*CLACK*

A guy punches against the bat, deflecting the attack. Hana quickly found herself surrounded by people wearing yellow jumpsuit and carrying nun chucks.

Hana: What the?! Uhhh... Okay....

Twirling her bat, Hana swung it at one of the jumpsuit men. They dodge her bat. From her right, Hana is attacked with nun chucks. Getting smacked in the face, she stumbled back. Raising her bat, she blocks multiple nunchucks.

Swinging her bat, Hana gets blocked with the chain getting pulled tense.

But with a quick twist and pull, Hana hooked her nail on the chain and yanked it from their grasp to fling it into the face of another.

[Essence Of Tonfa Style]

Grabbing her bat by thr nail, Hana wielded her bat like a Tonfa. Spinning it around she confused her enemies.

*WACK*

With a spin, she smacked one across the face.

*CLACK*

Smacked a guy in-between the legs.

And with a swing she had the bat extend her reach and hit a guys teeth in.

Hana: *Wicked Giggle*

*WOOSH*

Stepping to the side, Akira dodged a punch. Then a kick. No one could lay a hand on the Tiger.

*WOOSH*

And when someone came close, Akira lifted his lef and lowered his right arm, catching theirs in-between and almost snapping the enemies arm by the elbow. The screamed in pain until Akira knocked them put cold with open palm strike. They spun as they fell to the ground.

Glancing to his left he saw a girl charge him with a taser.

Akira: Hmph!

B

ackhanding her arm, Akira wrapped his arm around hers, before slamming his palm into their chest. Their body was pushed back, but their arm stuck it was pulled out its socket. Dropping the taser behind Akira's armpit, the Tiger raises his heel to rainbow kick the taser to his right hand.

*CLKCLKCLK*

Girl:?!

Pressing it against her neck, Akira knocks the girl out and tosses the weapon away only to be faced with what was either her brother, her boyfriend, or a very big fan of hers.

Guy: HRAH!!

Akira: Tch!

[Essence Of Tiger Drop (WILD)]

Dropping below their punch, Akira landed a devastating counter attack to their abdomen which completely knocked the wind out of his opponent.

*WHAM*

Jumping, Tatsu sandwiched a rioter's head in between his knee and elbow. Turning around Tatsu dives into a handstand before pushing up and kicking a rioter off their feet.

Standing up, Tatsu casually grabs a rioter by the face before slamming them down against the stairs which he climbed up to get to the Millennium Tower's main entrance where he found the guy with the megaphone. He rips it out of their grasp.

[Essence Of Dragon's Roar]

Tatsu: SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUPPPPPPP!!!!

Yelling so loudly into the megaphone and in the previous owners face, Tatsu shocks them so much that they stumbled back and through the glass door of the Millennium tower. He turns to scream at the rioters but no one is paying attention. The last guy might have fanned the flames, but he hadn't been in control for a while now.

As the other three arrived, Tatsu walked up to the guy who he took the Megaphone from.

Tatsu: How do I stop these idiots?

Megaphone Rioter: Stop them? They're doing what you wanted....

Tatsu: They don't know the first thing I want....!

Hana: There's too many! We can't fight them all!

Akira: We don't have a choice... The cops are going to be here with guns any second.

Akira: It's honestly bizarre that they aren't already... The station is only a few blocks away....

Jin: Oh! What if we ruin the mood!

Hana: This is a riot not a date!

Jin: No! Think about it! Everyone is angry! So we just need to play something the opposite of that!

He picks up the megaphone.

Jin: We have something to help spread the word!

Akira: Hmph. That might work.... Oi, Tatsu.

Tatsu: What?

Akira: Play something on your phone. You babysit a kid all the time. You should know a happy go lucky song.

Tatsu: Tch...

Pulling out his phone, Tatsu combined it with the megaphone to play a song to all the rioters.

Megaphone: Baby Dragon! Duh du duh♪ Baby Dragon duh du duh♪

Rioters:?!

The loud contrast that was THAT annoying song, drew the attention of the rioters who turn to Tatsu.

Akira: There you go.

Jin:(smug grin)

Hana: Ugh...

Akira: Speak to your people, Immortal Dragon....

Tatsu:....

Tatsu: Everyone.... KNOCK IT THE HELL OFF!!

Tatsu: GO HOME!

Tatsu: I'll handle Kaito Abe. So stop getting in my way!! Go! Scram!

*Vrrrrrr*

Tatsu: Hm?

A limo drives past the scene from the direction of New Serena. Tatsu, Hana, Jin and Akira look with shock at who they see in the backseat, banging on the soundproof window.

Hinari Kobeni.

Tatsu:!?!

TO BE CONTINUED....
