'Brake Up Call' Workshop

Roseholics City

After the fight with the thugs, Aiffel helped his Boss, Shinichi, stand up, found him a chair to sit on, gave him a bottle of water to drink, bandaged his wounds, and then brought him a bowl of ramen to eat.

"How are you feeling now, Boss?", Aiffel asked.

"Aiffel, you gotta get out of this town and hide!", said Shinichi as he panicked and put the bowl on a side, "Get yourself secured. They are gonna find you and kill you for sure." Aiffel wasn't saying anything, he only stood still and listened to his words as Shinichi continued, "You can't beat those thugs. They'll just keep coming and coming...there's no end to them. Today, 5 of them came. Tomorrow 5 cars like that *pointed at the sumo car that Aiffel kept the keys of* will come for you! ...their leader is one of the most powerful men in Sixxity. He is the leader of Yakuza! The owner of that car! *pointed at the sumo again* He will come for that... I know he will... You know what's Sixxity, don't you? It's the land of the Mafia! The underworld of Locria! There are gangsters everywhere in there trying to take down one another to become the Shogun of Sixxity! ...no cops go in there! If you get kidnapped to Sixxity, nobody would dare to go there to get your corpse dammit!"

Aiffel remembered what his sensei, Shady Roseholic, told him about Sixxity. "Under Iron Club's wing, the whole nation...Locria...is yours. Just one condition, and always keep that in mind...that NO matter what happens...NO matter what goes down...you'll never go to this one place called...Sixxity."

"Are you listening to me, boy?", Shinichi asked.

"Yup!", Aiffel casually said without any fear. "Are you done? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, son. Go ahead.", Shinichi sighed.

"What if they don’t find me here tomorrow? They are gonna kill you instead. How about that?"

"You should not worry about me, kid."

"You have a family. You need to stay alive. I've started it so let me finish it. This is my fight now. You have done a lot."

"What...? *snapped* Who do you think you are, kid!? You didn't hear anything that I said! This is your fight now you say? You will get squashed in there within seconds! This is Sixxity we are talking about!"

"*yelled out* I don't care if it's Sixxity, Underworld, Minister Quarter, or the Parliament! If anyone hurts my friends, my loved ones, my family...I'll make sure they pay! *calmed down* I'm gonna turn Sixxity upside down if they ever touch you again!"

Aiffel grabbed his jacket and left with a bike. Shinichi was astonished to hear all his words and gazed.

Next day.

Helveltica

Roseholics City

Free Birds (Aiffel, Grate, Marquis, and Ronnie) entered the high school in style and they were gonna cross paths with Inner Clique (Jack, Miles, Ranse, and Duke). But, a fat teacher named Miss Cassilly, who happened to be their Computer class teacher, came in between and scolded Aiffel whose sleeves were rolled back, the tie was loosened, and his shirt was rough. Miss Cassilly said that Aiffel's dress up and attitude were inappropriate and intolerable before giving him a fair warning and leaving. Aiffel was very angry at her.

"They call me rude, but they don't see the reason why.", said Aiffel out of frustration. "She has to come up to me every morning and pour all her frustrations, that she has with her husband, on me to ruin the rest of my day."

"The great Aiffel Roseholic should make a comeback every once in a while.", Ronnie laughed.

"Shut up!", Aiffel yelled at him. Suddenly, Grate started to giggle.

"What's up, Grate? Why you laughin'?", Marquis asked out of curiosity.

"You think this is funny, Grate?", Aiffel complained.

"No, but you can thank me later.", Grate chuckled.

"What does that suppose to mean?", Marquis asked, confused.

"...see you at the Computer class.", said Grate as he winked and left.

The rest stood still for some time until they finally realized and followed him as Ronnie uttered, "No, he *beep* didn't!"

Later. The students of Class C3 went to the Computer room to take Miss Cassilly's class. Miss Cassilly was teaching her students using a projector from her computer. Grate was silently doing something on his computer while the rest of Free Birds squinted their eyes to look at what he was up to. It turned out Grate hacked into Miss Cassilly's system and stole something from her. Then he managed to hack into her computer before sending that thing to it.

The item was moving to her computer at a very slow pace. When it was 90% completed, Miss Cassilly noticed something and then she began to move toward Grate as it seemed. Free Birds went back to their concentration in the class.

Miss Cassilly yelled, "Hey!", as she approached Aiffel and continued, "Where's your concentration in the class!? Why do I have to repeat myself over and over again? When will you learn to listen!? Even an elementary school student would understand the first time!"

"Just a little more.", Grate beckoned at Aiffel while the completion was at 94%.

Miss Cassilly kept yelling, "I'm trying to teach and convince you this hard, but your mind is somewhere else while everyone else is getting it!"

Madusa felt bad for him as Miss Cassilly kept going at it and Aiffel wasn't making a single noise. The completion progress was 98%...99%...100%...and done. Grate played it and a video began to play on the projector. Everyone's attention turned to the video while Miss Cassilly kept yelling at Aiffel.

It was a video of a fat Miss Cassilly dancing in her bikini and mostly showing off her butt. Everyone's jaw dropped from watching what was playing on the projector.

Suddenly Miss Cassilly stopped and looked left and right to notice that everyone's attention was on something else so she turned around to see what was going on. After a while, with eyes wide open, she screamed her lungs out and was heard all around Helveltica and reverberated.

Later. The school field was set to host a 4x500 meter relay competition, and the crowd of Helveltica teachers and students cheered as the two rival teams, Free Birds and Inner Clique, lined up for it. As the runners took their places on the starting line, there was an obvious sense of stress. The runners shot out of their blocks as soon as the starting gun went off. Inner Clique's runner, Miles, was closing in on the lead runner of Free Birds, Ronnie, who had gotten off to a fast start. The audience erupted in deafening cheers as the runners swapped batons with ease.

Marquis of Free Birds and Ranse of Inner Clique ran for it. Even closer than the first leg was the second one. The crowd was standing roaring as both Marquis and Ranse were tied for first place.

The runner for Free Birds, Grate, was able to hold onto his lead, but Duke, the runner for Inner Clique, was closing the gap. Duke eventually caught up to Grate as the race moved into its third leg. Inner Clique gained the lead for the first time when the two runners traded batons.

The last and fourth leg was going intense. It was Aiffel and Jack. The audience was going crazy as the two rivals pushed themselves to the most extreme. Approaching the last curve and the finish line, Aiffel gradually pulled ahead of Jack. Free Birds were ahead of Inner Clique once more...for a brief while.

"...too soon, Iron Punk.", Jack smirked as his adrenaline rush released all so suddenly as he overtook Aiffel to his surprise. Just a hair's breadth of a second separated Jack as the winner.

Cheers and celebration broke out from Inner Clique as well as the crowd. Aiffel and his friends went up to Jack and his friends and extended a handshake. It took Jack some time to accept and give Aiffel a handshake. Before leaving, Free Birds congratulated them on their win as Madusa looked on.

In the afternoon, 10 sumo cars pulled up and dozens of Yakuza thugs came out as Shinichi began to worry. They raided the workshop, and shouted with intimidation, "Where is the Mechanic?!"

"I... I don't know...", Shinichi trembled in fear.

The thugs pushed him down on the ground, pointed a gun at him, and yelled, "Then you die instead!"

Suddenly Aiffel came out of the washroom and started throwing punches at whoever was in his path. Aiffel kicked all the thugs out of the workshop. He came out of the workshop as well. He found out hundreds of thugs waiting for him. The thugs were about to attack him but one man voiced out, "Wait!", as a Limousine arrived.

A man came out of the Limousine.

The Oyabun of the Yakuza

Keiji Inoki.

He approached Aiffel and asked nicely, "Where's my car? Can you give it back?"

"A rich and powerful man like you should be able to pay the bills. Can't you?", Aiffel replied without any sign of intimidation.

Keiji grinned, "You are strong. A young and hot-blooded guy like you should not die this young... It would hurt my feelings... Why don't you join my organization? I'll give you a special position in it. How's the deal?"

"He is dead...", Shinichi thought.

Aiffel smirked, "Get lost."

Keiji smiled and punched Aiffel's left cheek as hard as he could with a knuckle on his fist. Aiffel seemed to have felt no pain at all, but instead, Keiji's knuckle cracked into pieces and pierced into his hand. Keiji was in agony. Shinichi was surprised as hell. The Yakuza members pointed their guns at Aiffel while Keiji shouted, "Stop!!! ...I'm gonna kill him myself!" before he brought out a gun from his pocket and shot Aiffel's chest. Aiffel was standing still on his feet. After a while, his wound was healed by itself.

The Yakuza was threatened and Keiji asked with fear in his voice, "What are you...?"

"...for the last time... Get lost and You don't have to ever come back here again, because I'll get your car and come for you at Sixxity! And we will settle our scores right there!", Aiffel declared.

"...so be it. I'll be waiting...Mechanic!", Keiji grinned before the Yakuza got into their cars and left.

A man appeared to have witnessed the entire scene from the shadows and decided to approach Aiffel.

"You okay, Boss?", Aiffel asked.

"I'm fine... Y-your wound... It's gone... But how?", Shinichi shook.

A man with a Crow mask approached them from behind and he was about to put his hand on Aiffel's shoulder. Aiffel felt his presence so he turned around to punch him. The man with the Crow mask dodged and beckoned that he wasn't a threat so Aiffel stopped. The man gave Aiffel a business card and left. Aiffel read an address on the back of the card.

Later that evening. The address on that card led Aiffel and Grate to a bar.

Grate was mesmerized by the place and women as they entered.

"Wow, man! What a place! How do you know this place?", Grate asked. Aiffel looked at the card once again before looking across the bar. Grate went on, "Why are you staring at that card so much? ...come on, man! Let's not spoil the fun and enjoy!"

Then they went to the bartender and ordered some drinks. "There are many underaged boys and girls in here freely roaming, having drinks... What is this place?", Grate asked.

Aiffel drank and looked at the card before looking across the bar once again. He was looking for something as he thought, "Was this a prank, a bait, or something? The guy only left an address. Why didn't he leave a number?"

"Hey, bro!", Grate asked, "What are you looking for?"

"...nothing.", Aiffel replied.

After some time, Grate said to Aiffel while sipping his beer and glancing at the girls, "Hey, bro. Look at that chick!"

"Hmm... She is cute!", Aiffel commented.

"Cute? Gosh, bro... Your choice is bad!"

"...yeah, whatever! *drinks*"

"...what about her?"

"*looked* Nah, not cool!"

"Not cool? Bro, are you kidding me? She is awesome! I was right. Your choice is really bad!"

"*annoyed* Are you messing with me, man? Because come to think of it, she is the same girl! Isn’t she?"

"Whoops! My bad! *laughed*"

Aiffel was approached by some gang members who had noticed him from a distance. They said, "Well, what do you know? What business does a big shot like you have here in Sixxity?"

"...you know who I am?", Aiffel asked with a smug on his face.

"Who doesn't? The hotshot member of Iron Club." The people at the bar began to murmur about Aiffel and Iron Club.

"Then you should back off since you know who I am."

The gang members laughed and all of them pointed their guns at Aiffel. "What about now?", said one of them. Aiffel wasn't getting any intimidated at all. "You think you are so smart. But you need to understand that irons rust, kid."

All of a sudden, a person in a hoodie arrived and beat up the gang members black and blue. "Mr. Roseholic...", said the person before removing the hoodie. Aiffel seemed to recognize the person because of her red hair. The person looked at Aiffel, and continued with a smile, "Thank you for waiting..." The person was Madusa. Her upper body's tattoos were visible due to the half-top she was sporting.
