It's About to Start

It's been a week since the Noblemen started hiding from Psycho's eyes. The distribution of firearms to both countries continued. The war is getting closer and the Noblemen's are still far away from their goal.

They keep change place, from hotel to hotel. The Noblemen can't leave the country because every airport is swarming with Psycho's men. Almost all of their allies were annihilated, so no one dares to help them anymore except for Jojo and Tony.

"I would like to join the Noblemen sir!" Tony said with conviction.

Mister looked directly into Tony's eyes. He already knew that Tony would like to have revenge but he never thought of him joining the Noblemen.

"This not something any kid can do. I know that you're upset about your sister's death and want revenge, but you can leave that to us" says Mister.

"I'm just 3 years younger than sir Lukas. Why can't I join do you think I will just become a burden?" Says Tony.

Mister sighed. He walked towards Tony and placed his hand on Tony's shoulder.

"It's not that, I just don't want an innocent getting involved anymore." Mister said.

Tony removed Mister's hand on his shoulder.

"We're already involved starting from the moment you came into our lives!" Tony said in angrily and walked out.

"Tony! Tony!" Jojo shouted.

"It's fine Jojo, I can understand him" says Mister.

Jojo followed Tony using his wheelchair. After a few minutes Jojo went back inside and talked to Mister.

"Please reconsider the man's request. Just let him help on getting revenge for his sister"

Mister looked at Jojo.

"What if he dies on the field?" Mister said.

"Before he became a helper in the mansion he was a thief. You know that the mansion is filled with security cameras everywhere right? But none of them caught a single image of him" says Jojo

"Human eye is different from a camera" Mister replied.

"My point is, just let him do the surveillance for the team that won't be so dangerous" Jojo replied.

Mister gave the matter few minutes of thinking. After that he came up with an answer. He will test Tony's skills. Mister went to where Tony is. He sat beside him.

"I will accept you as a Noblemen if you will accept doing surveillance as your job" Mister said.

Tony smiled and said

"Yes I will do that."

"I have to test your skills first. Steal something to every Noblemen. For Maro steal the Karambit under his bed, Zao her mother's picture, and for Black and Kidd steal their wallets" says Mister.

Tony quickly left Mister alone. The next morning everything Mister asked Tony to steal was on his table. Mister was surprised on Tony's skills.

They were eating when Black, Maro, Kidd, and Zao started ranting about the things that they can't find.

"My fu*king wallet is gone, it should be under my pillow" says Kidd.

"I lost my wallet to, fuck it" Black said.

"I can't find my karambit" says Maro.

"My mom's picture is gone I'm gonna kill the one who stole it"

Mister laughed and everyone looked at him.

"I can explain" says Mister.

"Explain my ass. Kill him!" Kidd said.

Everyone charged towards Mister and hit him. Zao is kicking Mister on the head and Kidd is kicking him on his arms. While Maro and Black is holding him.

"You better have a good explanation for this moron" Maro said while laughing.

"They're so energetic" says Lukas.

Everyone stopped hitting Mister and helped him to get up. Mister and the others laughed.

"You all should have enjoyed hitting me earlier. Even the four of you will have a hard time landing a hit on me if I'm on battle mode" says Mister.

"That is true, but your battle mode only last for few minutes" says Kidd.

"Let me explain now. I was testing Tony's abilities so I had him stole everything that is the most precious item for you. You can get it back now, it's on top of the table in my room" says Mister.

*Breaking news: Philippine Army is now ready to take on China according to the President!*

Everyone was shocked about the news on the television. They quickly had their breakfast and held a meeting.

"Looks like Psycho's arm dealing is a success" says Kidd.

"How are we going to stop the war now?" Lukas asked.

Mister is thinking about how they can still stop the war.

If both countries go to war countless innocent lives will be wasted.

And after losing their hideouts they're lacking in equipments now.

"Our only choice now is to take down Psycho" Kidd said.

Everyone agreed to take down Psycho. But having only seven members without complete equipments it would look like an ant jump into the middle of a storm. The Underworld Society which Psycho rules has plenty of strong warriors that will prevent them from getting their hands into Psycho.

"What are we still doing let's resupply our weapons" says Black.

"I trained my knife skills here in the Philippines. Maybe my master knows where we can get weapons" says Maro.

"Everyone will move in a two man cell. Do not engage in any fight" Mister said.

Black and Kidd teamed up, while the other teams are Team Maro and Zao, Mister took Lukas and Tony on his team. Everyone left the hotel except for Jojo.

Maro and Zao went to Maro's former master in Balintawak.

They found his old master in his Gym. His master named Bartolome, is an old man with a long white hair. There are many students training under him because he is a respected martial artist in the country.

"Master!" Says Maro.

Maro and Zao went inside the gym. All the students looked at them. Bartolome stood up and proudly introduced his former top student in the class.

"Long time no see, Maro!" Says Bartolome.

Maro gave his master a warm hug.

"Ito ang pinakamahusay kong estudyante si Maro!"

(This is my top student Maro!) Bartolome said proudly.

"Hello guys! Train harder" Maro said.

"We don't have much time Maro" Zao said.

"Master can we talk to you in private?" Maro asked.

Bartolome guided Maro and Zao to his office.

"Master, we need your help" Maro said.

"Tell me, I will try to help" Bartolome replied.

"Do you know a place where we can get cheap weapons?"

Maro asked.

Bartolome wondered why Maro is looking for weapon, but Maro looked very serious about the matter. Bartolome is a former assassin, so he has connection to those kind of things.

"What kind of weapons do you need?" Bartolome asked.

"We need few high powered firearms" says Maro.

"I see, your still in the dark business. Well, go to my brothers place, he has an illegal gun shop under his house. Here's the address" Bartolome wrote his brother's address on a piece of paper and gave it to Maro.

"Thank you master! Trust me I'm saving someone's life this time. Who knows, maybe this life I'm talking about could be yours master" says Maro as they head to the address that his master gave him.

Bartolome gave his brother a phone call.

"You will have guests sooner give them the best gun a discount, you owe me one remember? After this we're even."

After 30 minutes of travel Maro and Zao arrived at Bartolome's Brother's house. They saw a fat man sitting outside.

"Excuse me, we are looking for Master Bartolome's brother" says Maro.

The man stood up and said

"You're looking at him man".

The man asked them to follow him. They went to the man's bedroom and the man pushed his cabinet. From there they saw stairs. They went underground and saw a room full of guns.

"This is all the high powered gun I have. I will give two of them to you for free. If you need more you'll have to pay"

The man said while pointing at the high powered firearms.

Maro and Zao choose FN Scar L and FN Scar H for free. They bought a lot of ammo for the two guns and head home. By the time they have arrived they saw Jojo watching the news on television.

*Breaking news! 12 battle ships from China are heading towards the west coast of the Philippines.*

"It's starting" Jojo said to himself.
