The Great Clown Showdown

The squad was on a mission. A high-stakes, carefully planned, absolutely serious mission.

So naturally, they were dressed as clowns.

Crimson adjusted his oversized rainbow bowtie while eyeing himself in the reflection of a funhouse mirror. "Alright, team. We blend in, we locate the target, we—"

Kai, wearing full clown makeup with a tiny red hat, interrupted, "Why are we dressed like this again?"

"Because," Crimson said, honking the rubber horn strapped to his chest, "nobody questions clowns in a theme park."

"Literally everyone is questioning us," Kazuki muttered, nodding toward a horrified mother shielding her child.

MJ, meanwhile, was already halfway into a cotton candy stand, stuffing his face. "Mishun… ish a go," he mumbled, mouth full.

Kai sighed. "Let's just find the guy and get this over with before we get arrested."

They had one job—take down a corrupt arms dealer who was doing an exchange near the Ferris wheel. Simple. Efficient. No distractions.

Then Crimson saw the lion.

Crimson vs. The Lion (And the Cage Incident)

It started with a joke.

"Bet you won't go pet it," Kazuki smirked, pointing at the lion exhibit.

Crimson's eyes lit up. "Bet I will."

"Crimson, no," Kai warned.

"Crimson, yes," Crimson said, already climbing over the barrier.

The next few seconds were a blur—one moment, Crimson was casually walking toward the lion, and the next, the gate slammed shut behind him.

Kai facepalmed. "You've got to be kidding me."

The lion, a majestic beast with golden fur and an aura of absolute murder, locked eyes with Crimson.

Crimson locked eyes back.

"Sup," he said.

The lion roared.

Meanwhile: Kai's Rollercoaster Sword Duel

While Crimson was making new jungle friends, Kai spotted someone that made his blood run cold.

Standing near the rollercoaster was a tall, shadowy figure dressed in a dark trench coat. His silver hair flowed in the wind, and his piercing gaze locked onto Kai.

It was their old teacher.

Master Revenant.

(Yes, that was his real name. And yes, it was badass.)

Kai barely had time to react before Revenant jumped onto the moving rollercoaster.

Kai blinked. "You've got to be kidding me."

Leon, watching from the sidelines, took a bite of his hotdog. "Go fight him. I'll hold your popcorn."

With no other choice, Kai sprinted, grabbed a katana (because of course there was a katana stand in the theme park), and leapt onto the rollercoaster just as it took off.

The fight was pure insanity.

• Swords clashed as the coaster barreled through loops and drops.

• Children in the seats behind them cheered like it was a stunt show.

• Kai almost lost his head three times.

• Revenant, despite missing an eye, was still terrifying.

• Someone threw popcorn at them mid-fight.

Just as Revenant was about to land the finishing blow—a blur of movement crashed onto the tracks.

Enter Crimson… On a Lion.

The entire theme park froze.

Crimson, somehow, someway, was riding the lion.

"YEEHAW, BABY!" he screamed, gripping the lion's mane.

Revenant barely had time to react before Crimson and the lion crashed into him.

RIP. Revenant's Arm.

The man screamed as Crimson and the lion sent him flying off the coaster. He hit the ground, bloodied but alive, before vanishing into the shadows.

Kai, still standing on the rollercoaster, just stared. "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!"

Crimson patted the lion's head. "I made a friend."

The lion roared in agreement.

Meanwhile: MJ and Kazuki's Arcade Adventures

While all this chaos was happening, MJ and Kazuki were in the arcade.

• MJ was aggressively button-mashing in a fighting game.

• Kazuki was playing Dance Dance Revolution.

• They had zero idea their friends were fighting for their lives.

MJ checked his watch. "Hey… weren't we supposed to be doing something?"

Kazuki did a backflip on the dance pad. "Dunno. Wanna get ice cream?"

"Yeah, sure."

The Bar Fight (Because Of Course There's a Bar Fight)

After somehow making it out of the theme park, the squad regrouped… except for Leon.

After searching, they found him in a bar. Flirting.

With two white chicks.

"Bro," Kai groaned. "We almost died, and you're here hitting on women?"

Leon took a sip of his drink. "Gotta make the most of life, my guy."

And then… someone threw a punch.

Chaos erupted.

Tables flipped. Bottles shattered. The squad went full WWE mode.

• Kai was fighting three dudes at once.

• MJ drop-kicked a guy through a window.

• Kazuki, somehow, had a metal chair.

• Leon was still flirting mid-fight.

Then… Crimson vanished.

"Where the hell did he go?!" Kai yelled.

The answer came five minutes later.

Crimson burst through the door… WITH A FLAMETHROWER.

"WHO ORDERED EXTRA CRISPY?!" he bellowed, firing flames into the air.

The entire bar screamed and scattered.

The fight was officially over.

Aftermath

The squad stumbled out of the bar, covered in bruises, blood, and shame.

Leon, completely unharmed, adjusted his jacket. "So… where to next?"

Kazuki sighed. "Home."

Crimson, still holding the flamethrower, grinned. "…Or we could go to the zoo."

"NO!" everyone shouted.

And with that, another absolutely stupid, yet somehow successful, mission came to an end.
