Saga 2 Episode 13: Dude, Where’s the Dugs?!

Connor

## Wakey Wakey eggs and bakey

Ryoji: Connor would’ve been laying in a hospital bed. He’d been unconscious…for hours. Literally. His eyes had been slammed shut for the longest since the shooting at Club Lahana. Connor had been shot with a bullet that was laced with Angry bloom. A plant that is dangerously poisonous to any form of Oni or Onihoruda. The doctor’s managed to remove the bullet but because the toxin was in Connor’s blood stream his overall capabilities like his strength, speed, and durability had been dwarfed down to peak human levels, for at least 24 hours. At this point it was three in the afternoon and Jackie had noted coming to visit Connor around this time. He opened his eyes finally and looked at the ceiling. He sat himself up quickly looking around. “Huh? What?” Josh stood up holding his hand on Connor’s shoulder. “Hey chill Connor. You’re at the homestead.” Cho came up on the other side of Connor and nodded. “I didn’t know you…got hurt. But I came to tell you Yumi’s healing flame worked! My mom’s out of her coma and she’s back to normal just like you said she’d be!” Connor smiled at that. “Well it’s good to wake up to good news. Bad news I feel hella weak. I think that angry bloom shit might’ve slowed me down…” Connor shook his head form left to right. “Well Jackie said he may have seen who did the deed. “ Cho pointed out. “Really? Good. Cause this has been a shitty week and if I don’t find out who did this it’s only gonna get shittier form here on end. Guess we just wait for Jack Jack.” Connor rubbed his forehead a bit, groaning in frustration. He couldn’t even contact Washi his oni prowess was so dwindled…

The Roaring Lion: Pulling up in front of the homestead would be Jackie in the driver seat of his RX7 with his son in the passenger seat, It's been hours since the Club attack it drove Jackie crazy he was right there and didn't sense a thing all he could remember was that tall figure with the purple/Sliver hair. : You okay dad? : Jr asked toying with his Yo Yo as he stepped out the car making his way in the Homestead, following right behind his son Jackie would lock his car with his remote walking inside Jackie would notice all the men he knew giving his respect towards them before stepping inside the elevator. " Hey Jr. Stay down here while I go talk to Connor " : AGh Dad! Come on please I really wanna go: " Im not asking... Now stay down here till I get back.." Jackie would say right as the Elvator closed between him and his son as he was going up Jackie shook his head he hated doing that to his son but what could he do he didn't want him apart of this life he joined up in. As the Elvator doors open Jackie would notice Connor and the others inside the Hospital medical center room walking inside Jackie would smirk towards Connor " Back from the dead I see.." Jackie joked he turned to Cho and Josh before pulling out his phone going on the mainstream Kasaihanaa World Star " It seems there was a video from a differnt angel of the club before the shooting.. " As he played the Video it would show and dark figure his face hidden by the back camera all that was seen was his pink-ish white hair,.. "

The Dragon Monk: " Back from the dead I see.." Connor turned his head to see Jackie enter the room. “Well it’s good to see a familiar face around here.” “Hey Jackie.” Cho waved. He wasn’t good with new people and he’d never met Jackie before. When Jackie pulled out his phone and spoke they listened. " It seems there was a video from a different angel of the club before the shooting.. " “Really now?” Cho and Connor watched the video of the tall dark figure walking into the club and raising the gun towards Connor’s location! He saw him pull the trigger but the video was still really dark and all that could’ve been seen at first were tufts of pinkish blue hair. Cho’s eyes winded as he rubbed his chin. “I recognize that hair! I know I do. I’ve seen it a million times when I was working for Dog Bite…” Connor started to get out of bed stumbling a bit and he shook his head a couple of times. “Damn I feel like a train wreck...who is it Cho?” “A guy named Blake Wilder I think. He runs with the Inugami Clan and is one of their top fighters besides the Aniki Jupiter.” “Jupiter…why doesn’t that name sit well with me.” Connor would’ve asked Washi but washi wasn’t here right now to be asked. “Shit. Well in any case…I’m not in any condition to even remotely go after these guys. Jackie I might have t-“ the house phone rang in the federation and Connor and Cho’s attention turned to it.  Connor would’ve moved over to answer it with a stern. “Shinpaku Homstead Connor speaking. What.”

“Connor Ryoji. This is Ishin Takeda.” Connor’s eyes winded as a bead of sweat dripped down his forehead. “…Yo uh. Can I help you with something? Don’t really…know why you’re calling persay.” “Well when someone injures 30 of my men, and interrupts my imports and exports operations I’m inclined to a reason why. Also there’s the matter of you understanding why you owe me as much money as you do. “ Connor wiped his forehead with his forearm. “Ahhh I mean like I said the guy who did it is dead.” “The debt carries on to you. I want my money back, and I’m not one to repeat myself. I’m going to give you a week to raise one million Tanz. If you fail to repay the money, I will personally come down to district one and destroy everything you’ve worked so hard to accomplish. In one fell swoop. In the blink of an eye I will take away your namesake and leave you with nothing. Is that understood?” Connor stayed quiet for a minute. “Yeah. Yeah I’ll get the money.” “Good to hear.” The phone clicked and Connor hung it up turning to the group and clapping his hands together. “alright so, I’m going to go pack my stuff. Cho you get your mom, I’m gonna go grab my wife, Jackie get ya kid and we’re all going to leave for mexico immediately.”

If they asked why Connor would tell them. “Because Ishin told me that we have a week to raise one million tanz and pay him  his money back or he’s going to destroy my clan. No offense but he is the STRONGEST member of the Hellfire syndicate. Even if I had my power I’d still doubt myself against the fucker…” Connor rubbed his temples. “NO no no…I don’t run. I’ll fight for what I have but I’ll need you guys to back me.” Connor put a hand on Jackie’s shoulder and Cho’s shoulder. “To raise that kind of money we’re going to have to break some rules…the Jingji rules….” Cho looked at Connor. “You sure? You’re one of the biggest stifflers about those.” “What choice do I have? To watch everything I’ve built fall to the ground and for what? No I know exactly what we have to do.” Connor inhales and exhales. “It’s time to sell drugs. Do any of you know any drugs we can get a hold of? We need GOOD shit.  Something people want, maybe something that people haven’t had for a while. But it needs to be GOOD.” Connor paced back and forth trying to figure out just what it is he’d need. How they were going to do this.

Seri: “Good to hear.” The phone clicked and Connor hung it up turning to the group and clapping his hands together. “alright so, I’m going to go pack my stuff. Cho you get your mom, I’m gonna go grab my wife, Jackie get ya kid and we’re all going to leave for mexico immediately.” Hearing this caused Jackie to chuckle Connor humor always caught him on the best days, then hearing about the drugs Jackie begun to think of that time his sister Velvet had got injected with the V surge, The drug V-surge is a revolutionary Nanomachine based pill, invented by Takehashi Setsua. It's a special reddish pill that contains Nanomachines that infect the body and give off the same vampiric aspects that Takehashi  himself has. The nanomachines take effect to the user and sometimes mutate different parts stronger than others, depending on geneitic coding of the person or being. But could this be the ticket him and the gang needed to gain some bread he thought heard and then turned to Connor " What about the V surge? Connor? My sister ha got injected with it a while back before she passed, it seemed to be booming back then but I dont know about now?" Jackie said Leaning against the wall

## The Plans of all Plans

Connor clapped his hands together and pointed at Jackie. “V-SURGE! Perfect! I remember uncle ketyh telling me about that stuff! Makes you a vampire or something like that but whatever! If we can get our hands on it, we can pack it, flip it and make back double what we sold it for! We just need to…get our hands on some. Question is how…” he shook his head. “Then Cho I’ve got a job for you. Soon enough I’m going to enter in something called “Dirty Mercy.” It’s the under ground equivillent to the GMAF’s just not as name brand. It’s mostly where rich people go when they want to see death matches.” Cho nodded. “Alright sounds go-DEATH MATCHES! WHOOOA CONNOR! I really don’t think I’m anywhere near ready for that yet!” “Look I’m not about to lose everything I’ve built because you didn’t wanna throw a punch. You here me? We’re gonna beat this thing together dammit.  Here’s what’ gonna happen. Cho go enter me and you in the Dirty Mercy circuit. From there you’ll start in and put me as a late entry. That being said, Jackie.” Connor would’ve put a hand on his shoulder. “Do you have any idea where she might’ve gotten this stuff? Is there still a dealer around here?” Cho would’ve sighed, putting on his coat and making his way out of the door. “Fine…I’ll head down there now I guess. “ Cho began to make his way down the steps and started out walking towards the back streets of district 1 and looking for where to sign up with this dirty mercy tournament that was coming up. Connor was a bit worried and he could admit that…he didn’t have his powers and he wasn’t even sure of what he could or couldn’t do in this particular moment. He was sure however that he was about to do SOMETHING. He’d rather die than lay down. “Lead the way Jackie.”

////Elsewhere////

A private jet would’ve been flying into the local air space of Kasaiahana City. While it didn’t seem like much there were men on his plane, all dressed in black and white suits with top hats on their heads. They were similar to a fidorah style fashion and rested square and plainly on the heads of the Asian men and women there. There was another man sitting by the window towards the front of the plane. He wore a cloak over his body, the hood resting over his blonde locks of hair as he stared passionately out of the window of the plane. “We’ll be landing soon Captain Alpha.” The blonde man nodded, not wishing to use words. He ran a very popular Triad in china known as the Black Lion Clan. They were a triad…so why were they coming to a Yakuza heavy city…?

Just as Connor got up Jackie would lead the way going towards the the evaluator right as it closed and went down, Jackie would turn to Connor " If you wanna sit this one out Connor I'll understand.. You know you can trust me to get the job done." Jackie would say as the Evaluator opened he already knew Connor wasn't going to lay back he had too much pride it was one of the things him and Connor shared their pride never seemed to fade. Stepping out Jackie would look around for Jr he saw one of the guards and spoke " Hey Boris seen my kid anywhere?"  : He went to the restroom couple min ago : " When he comes out tell him I'll be back for him. Lets go Connor " Jackie would say it seemed he finally caught a break he could easily sneak out with Connor without his son trying to come, Stepping out the homestead Jackie would go in his pocket to grab his car key unlocking his car he would step inside the driver seat and once Connor got in he would start the car and drive off. " Back when my sister got injected it was before the Sector games so im a bit iffy if this dealer is still around." Jackie said driving on the intersection he was headed towards Main bridge road gripping the wheel as he turned into the farest neighborhood, " Where here the dealer goes by the name of Onyx, He lives in that building right there.. ( http://stampsy-eu-1.s3.amazonaws.com/5706/68a76e540ea188bd1c731243dc23e00eaeb5dc76.jpg ) Jackie pointed towards the door that held an male guarded in front. " I would say we go unarmed but after what happned last night ima strap up... " Jackie said stepping out his car if Connor would follow behind Jackie would pop his trunk in attempt to get his gun but he would find his son hidding inside instead. -\_- " Really.. The trunk, You didnt even ask me this time.." : Because I knew you would say no!:  " How would you know? Try asking me boy" : Fine.. Dad Can I come with you an.. " No.." Just as Jackie spoke he would close the truck on his son locking it from the outside. " This boy going to be the death of me.. Connor" Jackie would say not paying attention to the yelling coming out his trunk but he knew he was going to have to open it was causing too much of a scene Jackie would then open it before dragging his son out " Why cant you listen to the most simple instructions! " : Because I wanna help dad.. I can. " No son.. you cant now get your hardheaded ass in the car and wait till we get back or I swear to Ra ima take off this belt and you gonna get these hands!" : AGH! I hate you!: Jr would yell out going inside the car before slamming it behind him. Breathing out Jackie would turn to Connor " Sorry about that.. I really am.." Jackie began to walk away before being stopped by a male : Hey you guys trying to buy the hottest thing that making everyone high?!" Jackie stopped for a second did this job just get easier? Maybe they didn't need the V Surge? " Sure what you got?" The male would open his trench coat holding out some Nick cannon CD's " Im telling you man these tracks with a blunt make you go insane I swear!" : How much?: " 100 tanz?" : Got yourself a deal..: Jackie said taking the CD before handing the man the cash. Placing the CD in his side pocket if Connor would look at him sideways Jackie would speak " What? it's a classic man.." Walking towards the building Jackie would noticed he would turn to Connor " Follow my lead from here I know how this thing work.." Jackie would walk up to the guard pulling out some cash " Im looking for Onyx is he around?" : Onyx? Huh.. Whose's asking..: " Velvet's brother that's who.. He used to supply her with V Surge and now I want my hook up.." : Hold on.. : The guard would began paging someone it took him a moment before he had opened the door to a long hallway.. " Down the hall and to your right that's all im saying.." The guard would say, moving past him Jackie would began to move down the hall looking back for Connor making sure he was behind.

After Jackie agreed to take him to where he could find some of this v-sure connor would’ve nodded at the notion. “Hell no I’m not sitting this shit out. I’m coming with you. This is my clan, our clan at stake I’ll be damned if I’m idol.” When they went to his car, Connor hopped in shutting the door behind him and yawning a little bit. He started practicing his chi control exorcises simply because he wasn’t even sure just how much he could or couldn’t use at this point. He’d shrug it off though seeing as how he believed in himself enough. That’s when he’d focus his hardest to channel his silver decimators and luciky he could. The silver desert eagle/revolver mixe appeared in his hand and he’d smile at that fact. When Jackie pointed out the building connor raised a brow. “So that’s it huh?h” Connor stepped out of the vehicle and when he said they’d need some heat Conor would’ve fucked his pistols in the waistline of his jeans behind his shirt. “I got all the heat I need riiiight here.” When Jackie’s son revealed to be in the trunk Connor would’ve lightly facepalmed before sighing silently to himself.  “Like father like son. Both places they aren’t meant to be…oy vey.” Connor would’ve bee walking along side Jackie until they were both stopped by someone else.

“Hey you guys trying to buy the hottest thing that making everyone high?!" “Is this the guy that sells the stuff?” Connor thought to himself…before he opened his jacket and revealed nick cannon CD’s. “-\_-“ was the only face Connor could bring himself to make. “Nick fucking Cannon. Are you fucking kidding me. I’d rather listen to Jackie Chan rap in Chinese than that shit. Let’s go man, damn.” Connor waved his arms in frustration at the poor and god aweful taste in music. When they came to the door and the guy tried to size them up somewhat Connor felt need to almost reach behind himself to grab his guns and force his way in but Jackie had the situation handled. He had pretty good negotiation skills. Sort of. As they made their way down the hallway Connor would’ve looked from side to side. “I don’t have my sensing shit, but uh. I have a bad feeling about this. All of this. Like this is going to go terribly horribly god awfully wrong.”

Meanwhile Cho would’ve been at the designate location signing him and Connor up for the tournament going on called Dirt Mercy. He was still nervous…he’d never been in death matches. All of this was happening and so quickly. He’d never fought for his LIFE. This all started with him wanting to help his mom but he kept ending up in this god awful scenario’s that he couldn’t even control like he wanted to. Poor kid.

As Jackie and Connor was walking down the hall they begun to hear the sounds of music blasting inside the wearhouse.. " Yeah..Its the premium 40oz of malt liquor make me wanna tell ya somethin I say, rollin' around, sittin' on dubs can not lie, was high on shrubs, " Hearing these words echo Jackie would turn to Connor his eye brow raising as they came to an door, opening it Jackie and Connor would be face to face what seemed like an music video happening as a male was inside an booth signing what seemed to be show tunes. "Coolin' in my Escalade, Man I'm paid, I got it made, Take me to your special place, Close your eyes show me your face, I'm gonna piss on it." If Connor would look at Jackie asking if they got the wrong place Jackie would begun to chuckle shaking his head seeing that male was Spade the person incarge of the Surge. The room was surrounded by men and women ( http://25.media.tumblr.com/102e88f81eb72287da69cba2d4867d85/tumblr\_mxgik0RYSB1rome1po4\_400.gif <-- How he looked at the moment..) Seeing Jackie and Connor enter the room Spade would stop his pefromace walking out the booth remembering Jackie's face he would at first give a stubborn look  before speaking " Ah the Serizawa boy.. What can I do for you?..." : Spade.. I need some of your V Surge...: " V Surge?! What year do you think this is year boy? You want V Surge..." : So your telling you dont have...: " Im not saying I dont I just would like to know why you want this drug in this day and age and please allow your friend over there speak he's looks like he's a little but lost.." Spade said looking over to Connor.

As they entered the room Connor would’ve looked around with a stale face. There was some kind of music video being shot maybe? He didn’t know and he didn’t have Washi here at his side to make sense of the stupid stuff he didn’t know how to comprehend so he’d just pretend he didn’t “Uh…Those lyrics doe.” Connor murmured under his breathe and when Jackie began to engage the African American music star Connor listened as the finally got around to talking about the v surge. Finally something he wanted to HEAR about. However the man addressed connor and now being put on spot with everyone looking around at him for an answer he’d clear his throat. “What’s good everyone. Urm. Names Connor. Connor Ryoji. I’m needing some of that surge cause I’m planning on bringing it back for a limited time only. Trust me when I say it’s for the good of the district so…Yeah. Let me get some. Now would be great.” Connor folded his arms, and blinked  a few times not entirely sure of what he was supposed to say in this scenario. Connor glanced over to Jackie unsure of how to handle this situation. Hell these were HIS people not Connors. Boy better step up, before Connor had to reach into his back pocket and shoot a muafucka

" Let me get some. Now would be great.” Hearing Connor Spades looked around to his people around the room before busting out laughing who was this kid and who taught him how to ask for stuff, he thought to himself people had to earn things that's how he saw life and that's how this situation was going to go. " Alright Alright..Wooo Alright Play boy this is what's going to happen you want the V surge your gonna have to work for it and but work I mean." \*Clap\*Clap\* Clapping his hands together the whole room Jackie and Connor would be in would shift drastly into an basketball arena lights would hit the stage as Spades would pick up an basketball looking over to Jackie and Connor " I'll tell you what.. If you can beat me and homies in a little game of basket ball then.. I'll hand you the V surge.." Looking over to Connor, Jackie  would shurg " We should roll with it.. We really need this even if we gotta prance around like fools might as well not give up now.." Depedning on Connor answer if he would agree large smoke would hit the arena and once it cleared Spades and his men would be wearing blouses holding a plate of pancakes ( http://d.fastcompany.net/multisite\_files/cocreate/imagecache/1280/poster/2013/08/1683628-poster-i-2-prince-album-cover-breakfast-can-wait.jpg ) " Would you like some before your doom?!" Spade would say awaiting for Connor reply.

## B- Ball with Spades

" Alright Alright..Wooo Alright Play boy this is what's going to happen you want the V surge your gonna have to work for it and but work I mean." Clap\*Clap Connor would’ve looked around as the room began to turn into a court? What was this a set change? Furrowed brows with blank eyes beneath them blinked one time before he saw this guy and his goons now dressed in purple suits holding…plates of pancakes." I'll tell you what.. If you can beat me and homies in a little game of basket ball then.. I'll hand you the V surge.."  “Jackie I officially hate anybody you ever have and ever will hang out with. Myself included. Because I’ve chosen to hang out with you.” Connor rubbed the side of his head not even able to fathom that he had to play basketball…to gain information. “Considering the KIDS in district one school me at this game I guess I have no choice. “ Connor popped his neck form side to side. “The district is counting on me to raise this money…I have to!” Connor would’ve stepped up, rolling up his sleeves. “Pass me the ba-“ Connor would’ve been hit slam in the face with a basketball. His eyes closed as the ball fell to the court and bounced lightly before coming to a complete stop as Connor took a moment to lick his lips and sigh. “Worst. Day. Ever.” Connor picked up the ball and began dribbling it in his right hand. “Never been a ball player but uh…” Connor would’ve tried to shoot form the center of the court only for the ball…to go completely over the goal. A giant animated bead of sweat fell from behind Connor’s head as he had an embarrassed look on his face. He’d cough lightly turning to Jackie and pointing. “I’m ASSUMING you can play right?! TELL ME you can play!?!”

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVPaUvNOQPw) Looking at Connor get smacked with the ball caused Jackie to chuckle a bit he watched Connor in his little attempt to dribble the ball as he asked for the ball Jackie begun to swing it around his arms before boncing it around his legs he remembered back in high school he used to play with the clubs back in the good old days. " Does this answer your question Connor?" Jackie said at him regaurding if he knew how to play, Spades would chuckle looking at the two tossing the plate he would take the ball from Jackie as he looked over to his squad. " You punks ready for this beat down?!" Spade questioned laughing up a storm " The rules are simple the score is 21 you beat us you get the V Surge " : Sounds like a plan : Jackie said towards Spade as he walked over to the other side of Connor as he already knew the game was about to start " Alright since we got the rules in.. LETS PLAY!"

* Ding Ding\* As the bell ranged Spade stepped forward bouncing the ball with every move his speed and movement were so on point, it wasn't the fact he was going to fast it was the way he was moving it was un real. He'd be charging his way towards the goal the only thing in his way mind you was Connor, Jackie was defending his other firend he looked over to Connor and saw Spades coming quickly yelling on the top of his lungs " CONNOR! GUARD UP MAN HE'S HEADING YOUR WAY!" Spades would attempt to body Connor with his shoulders and in the same attempt to roll to the right off of Connor's body to pass him if this would happen Spades would gain a lay up and score the first point if this happened as soon as the ball would drop Spade would began to hump the ball in front of them mocking them. " I swear he wasn't this crazy when i met him.." Jackie said laughing.

## Damn you kinda suck dude?!

Connor watched Jackie dribble the ball around before he’d heard the rules and understood….sort of. Connor stood there like a derp completely lost in what the hell he was supposed to do. He could punch his way through anything except that didn’t always apply to being able to play a sport…which sucked. "CONNOR! GUARD UP MAN HE'S HEADING YOUR WAY!" ”Eh?” Connor saw him coming and spread his arms out, similar to how Jackie had done, but when he tried to follow Spade’s movements he failed at it and took the roll! Spade rolling off of his body and laying up the ball. Connor groaned in frustration watching him hump the ball. “Alright I’m starting to get it a little more…” Connor popped his neck from side to side and sighed. “Okay gimme the ba-“ the ball flew at Connor but he caught it this time! “HAHA MUAF-“ another ball would’ve flown at Connor flying straight at him and hitting him….in the dick. Connor doubled over and fell to his knees….his head hitting the ground as he held his groan and a enlarged whining noise came from his mouth.

“Three. Hours. Later.”

Connor would’ve been back on the court wit Ice on his crotch. “Alright pass me the ball JACKIE.” If Jackie handed him the ball Connor would’ve mimicked Jackie’s dribbling almost flawlessly. “Let’s get it.” Connor rushed in dribbling the ball! He didn’t know how to play but he knew he could try and mimic the actions he’d seen! If Spade or the other guy came up to him to try and block him Connor would’ve looked them dead in the eye with a fierce crimson stare before using the martial arts principle of Jijitsu to juke out of their view for an instant!

Densuke taught Connor different throwing techniques from more than one variation of Ju-jitsu. As a result, He is able to throw his opponents in various positions and put them in various submission holds. This showed more fruit in the GMAF's when Connor was faced with legit Ju-Jitsu tactics and held his course. Connor's understanding of it has even led him to create throwing techniques that involve using no strength and using the enemy's own power against them completely, which proves super effective for glaringly supernatural or bigger opponents. This is most prominent in Connor’s fluid movements, moving with an agility and fitness that contradicts his brash attitude, as ever movement made by Connor is rarely stiff and unyielding, but rather constantly flowing and lucid.

As he did, slipping to their left side in attempt he’d run a few more steps before attempting a jump shot at the two point line….that missed. Or if it was blocked Connor would’ve stood there with another animated sweat drop going down his forehead. “WHY IS THIS SO GOD DAMN HARD!!!!”

Watching Connor miss the shot Jackie rubbed the back of his head as he saw Spade catch the ball and hit another lay up scoring them another point and he began to think maybe Connor could use something he already have to help the win? Racing up to his friend Jackie would explain " Alright C this is what gonna happen.. im going to label you as an Guard, these are potentially the shortest players and they should be really good at dribbling fast, seeing the court, and passing. That's where you come in Connor your like one of the strongest guys I know just protect me, think of it as if we where in battle right now protect me with your life COnnor and we can do this.." Jackie said hoping Connor got some sense into something he was saying because as soon as Jackie finished speaking the next round started, Getting passed the ball Jackie would turn to Connor hoping he was ready to defend " Alright Connor you know what to do.." Just as Jackie said that he rushed towards the center of the court he was leaning left as he was dribbling meaning Connor needed to protect his right because if he didn't Jackie would be slammed on his ass by Spades who was racing through the court right side aiming to bumrush Jackie into the ground as his parnter would scoop up the ball and make the three but if Connor would of defended Jackie in anyshape or form The roaring lion would push through the Court before slamming the ball into the hoop scoring there second point. " YEEEAAAAH BOY!" Jackie would shout as his basket would be drop, it would cause Spades to twitch he hated to lose even if his score was higher he really wanted to leave them on zero each point they made would cause his speed and strength to highten.

Cho Kiriyu: " Alright C this is what gonna happen.. im going to label you as an Guard, these are potentially the shortest players and they should be really good at dribbling fast, seeing the court, and passing. That's where you come in Connor your like one of the strongest guys I know just protect me, think of it as if we where in battle right now protect me with your life Connor and we can do this.."

Connor inhaled and exhaled. “Alright bet, let’s do this.” Connor popped his neck from side to side and squatted down just a little bit. He looked at Spade and his buddy, and as he did his eyes glowed a crimson red color before they seemingly leaked form his vision in steamy mist. Connor was putting himself in the mind of a fight rather than a sport. The operation was simple: Protect Jackie Serizawa. Connor’s eyes widened as he watched Jackie take off and Connor took off right beside him! Connor defended his right side, coming through and spreading his arms out, just WISHING spade would’ve bumped into him so he could’ve hit him one good time. However Jackie was able to make the basket and Connor would’ve arm pumped. “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! FUCK OFF MY COURT WITCHO PUNK ASS!” Connor got hype, beating his chest and holding his hands out for the ball! Connor would’ve started darting the court and whoever would’ve been foolish enough to try and guard him from the front, they’d see a large gleam in Connor’s eyes, and they’d start seeing his image flicker in and out. With his martial training he applied the same principle to his dribbling and court moving thanks to his Formless Fist.

## Connor learning his 2 step

Footwork is a HIGHLY underrated aspect in fighting. In fighting footwork is actually a very handy thing to have when it comes to closing distance between opponents or gaining distance between opponents. As such this style addresses footwork with emphasis, idealizing that the user should keep his footwork capable to throw the opponent off, confusing him with fluent movements, and shuffling feet. Also there is the aspect of quick escape and quick distance grouping. With this maneuverable footwork, the user is able to seemingly "disappear" from the opponents line of sight, and evade rather quickly. A Sub-Power of Flash Step and Variation of Enhanced Speed, the User can seemingly flicker in various areas of the battle feild, simply by flicking and maneuvering their feet in combination with their ankles, to achive movement that can cover closed distances or CQC distances. This espcially works when close in on the opponent to quickly manouver behind him and around him when needed. This ties in with evading attacks, and making them a hard target to target. There are no after images with this style of movement because the user literally "Disapears from the line of sight". Even with enhanced sensory systems, the speed remians just and still as confusing, but more so to people with lower grade senses.

This is also heavily incorperated in the fliping and spinning technqiues. This allows the user to spin and flip in the battle.  This plays into the footwork HEAVILY because, it allows the user to spin in such a rapid rate that he can spin and weave between hits thrown, no matter how fast the speed. This way, he can add instant momentum to his hits, and counter with rapid movements and spinning manouvers, but do this all within a time frame that spands less than a second allowing him to do this with finesse and grace, and not hinder him in any form of way. The same goes into flips. User is able to flip in mid fight and hand to hand exchange to avoid strong or quick attacks, and counter whilst in the motion of fliping effortlessly and from any posistion. The user's agility is of a superior standard, even among gold-medal-winning athletes and other highly trained professionals in the field of athletics. Furthermore, users of this ability are capable of jumping up to 6.2meter/20 ft in a single bound and 3.2meter/10 feet without a starting run-up. As such  Connor would’ve dribbled the ball using his right arm, dribbling it out to the right side, letting it float there for 0.005 seconds before his body literally vanished in a blurr!

Only to reappear behind whoever may have been blocking him before he’d attempt to reclaim the ball and make his way down the court only to make it to the two point line and make a shot! “Come ooooooooooooooooooooon” Connor would’ve prayed this shot made it!

\*Coof\* Just as Connor made the point Jackie had dropped to his knee's there is hope for them yet he thought to himself as he saw Spade's face expression change seeing Connor making his first shot of the game. : That does it! : Spades yelled out before tearing off his shirt it seemed he was now getting serious as Jackie passed Spades the ball due to his check, Spades parnter would jump in front of Jackie blocking his view of Connor and Spades, Moving up towards Connor with the ball Spades began to perform tricks with the ball fastly moving it through his left allowing the ball to appear as a blur " Uh...Uh...Watch me now!

Attempting to push to the left to pass Connor if Connor would move in Spades way to block him spades would quickly step back aiming to knock the Ryoji boy off balance to make him fall if this would happen, The crowd watching would fall on the ground " DAMN... HE BROKE HIS ANKLES B WHY HE DID THE BOY LIKE THAT.." Jackie would be chucking a bit but still keeping on his A game on but Once Spades would make his three he would began shaking as cheerleaders who came out of no where just poured water on him. " THATS RIGHT THATS RIGHT MY HOUSE MY HOUSE WE UP BY 2. GAME POINT ONE MORE BABY!!!!!!" Jackie would walk up to Connor seeing they just needed to make 3 shots and Sapdes only needed ot make one they needed a miracle and by the looks of it it seems God had forgotten about them.

" Alright C listen we just need to make a three and one point to tie the game.. Which means its all up to you to make these shots just looks at them there just waiting for you to pass it to me.. Im going to guard you and leave you open to make the shot but we need this.. It all up to you to make this three. The clock on 30 seconds so Lets do this!" Jackie would put his hand out waiitng for Connor to put his hand in " Alright we no dream team but lets give all we got..." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eXk2qLovDQ <- Theme) Jackie would then walk up as the ball was checked to him he would pass it to Connor before bursting off to guard him aiming to get him so space but just as he did that Spades would of passed him getting in Connors face " Hey there boy!"

Connor was happy he’d made that shot! Yes he was getting progressively better at this blasted game! “Yes!” Connor was happy but when spades and his boy got control of the ball back, Sapdes had juked Connor so hard it sent him flying and falling back flat on his ass! Connor fell down feeling the wind being knocked out of his very body! He shook his head a couple of times coughing and holding his chest.  “You are REALLY pissing me off Spades. REAL shit here pal!” Connor would’ve gotten himself up dusting himself off and cracking his knuckles. Jackie had come over to give him a new game plan since Spade and his boy were at the game winning. Assuming it was tied Connor knew it was do or die in this very moment!

" Alright C listen we just need to make a three and one point to tie the game.. Which means its all up to you to make these shots just looks at them there just waiting for you to pass it to me.. Im going to guard you and leave you open to make the shot but we need this.. It all up to you to make this three. The clock on 30 seconds so Lets do this!"

“A three pointer and a one pointer…okay.” Connor ndded when he got the ball and dribbled it a few times as Jackie went to guard him. Connor saw Spades coming towards him and as this happened Connor would’ve used the exact same basketball trick Spade used to try and confuse him only this time Connor would’ve pretended to toss the ball to spades left! It was a tick, as he tucked the ball under his shirt, and put it behind him. If spade looked back he’d see Connor shrugging. ‘I passed it to Jackie! Look your boys making the shot!” if he looked Connor woud’ve ducked to the left and dribbling down the court to the three point he’d bit his lip feeling the pressure and tossing the shot up! The ball traveled in slow motion, seemingly as flashing camera lights echoed into the room. The ball bounced off of the rim and rolled around it once…twice…three times. Connor’s eyes followed the ball hoping it would’ve fell right in but it took a minute…before SWOOSH! The ball fell through and Connor arm pumped. “Good!”

They had one more shot to make and when Spade’s boy WOULD’VE had the ball Connor would’ve ran up on him!....and pulled his gun out, gripping the man by his throat in a headlock and shouting out. “BREAK YO SELF MUAFUCKA, GIMME THAT GOD DAAAAMN BALL FOR I BLOW YO GOD DAMN BRAINS ON THIS PAVMENT! ASK ME IF I’M PLAYING BITCH I DARE YOU!” If this worked Connor would’ve taken the ball, still holding the gun to his head with one hand, and using the other one to lay the ball up essentially winning them the game but he wasn’t about to let the guy go that quickly. Connor pressed the barrel to his head. “Now give us the GOD DAMN V-surge before I put a bullet in everyone’s head in here! Jackie cover me, I’m done with these shenanigans.”  Assumig this worked, Connor would’ve left the gun pointed right where it was until someone said otherwise.

" Oh lord! " Spades yelled out as Connor placed the gun to his head which caused the whole game to stop Jackie would rub his temple he knew Connor wasn't about to lose this game no matter what so as he saw this outburst he knew it was happening sooner or later. Just as Spade bodyguard went to back him up Jackie came from the side with an left hook knocking him right on his ass before pulling out his gun seeing Connor already had his out. : Agh just like you guys to cheat! God damn it! HEY Jackie tell your man over here to put down his piece : " Right after you hand over the Surge Spades we played enough of your games just hand it over! " Jackie demanded before he even got another word out his phone began to ring it was Jr looking down to his phone he saw dozen of text messages of him telling Jackie he was still stuck in the trunk.

" Oh shit Connor i forgot all about Jr.. Heh.. oh well he'll be alright.." Jackie said chuckling before pointing his gun now at Spades guard " Come on Spades or your gonna be one less of a man.." : Go ahead and do it fuck that no job having ass nigga he's fired after this anyway.. : " Well damn.. " Jackie said to Spades response before now pointing the gun at Spades himself " Alright hows this? You have two guns pointed at you now hand over the surge and we'll be on our merry way." Spades gave an annoyed look at the two before nodding his head : You know what niggas fine, Ya'll suck in basketball anyway least i can do is give you some hope.. You no class having ass " If Connor would allow Spades to be free Spades would lead the two towards his basement were in the basement there was an glass container held in the wall pushing it aside Spades would reach his arm far inside before pulling out three vials of V- Surge : Here niggas take it before I change my mind : He said handing it to the two.

Once in their possession Jackie would look over to Connor placing his hand on his shoulders " Man looks like were going to be back in bussiness hover boards all over again huh? " Jackie said with a small smile the moment would of been interputed with Spades as he shouted : Alright NIggas get the fuck out my house before I call the cops b. : Jackie would began to walk back towards the door with Connor if he had followed behind or with him side by side, pushing through the doors which lead them outside Jackie would turn to Connor as he walked to his car opening the trunk to allow his son to be free " What's next?"

Connor continued to listen to Spade protest. The entire time him and Jackie conversed, cynical thoughts ran through Connor’s mind as he contemplated just how far he’d get if he’d actually  put a bullet through this guy’s skull and took the damn drug. No…no, he knew Washi wouldn’t approve and would’ve told him to stay the course like he always did. Used to do rather…Connor’s mind had been rather empty since losing his best friend to whatever brand of Angry bloom this might have been. Upon hearing Jackie had left his son in the trunk Connor shrugged. “Eh I do it all the time. Wife lets him out eventually but I always know he’s there. My son’s a punk ass he deserves it.” When Jackie points his gun at Spades as well they finally get what they came for. Seeing three vials of the red serum being pulled out of a glass container, Connor took the drug in hand and held it up to the light to look at it.

“Man looks like we’re going to be back in business hover boards all over again huh? " “Sure the hell does Serizawa. Sure the hell does.” When spade orders them out Connor shoots him a look before following behind Jackie and sniffing the fresh air as they both walk outside. “What’s next?" Connor pulled out one of the vials and looked at it close examining its color. “We head to the kitchen my friend. We head to the kitchen.”
