Chapter 25 - Some people hold grudges with a gorilla grip.

[SOBA & MASAYOSHI, carrying an unconscious Ukyo]

[MASAYOSHI]

So, Soba…

What do we do with him now?

[SOBA, chuckles menacingly, a gleam in his eye]

[SOBA]

He messes with me, we mess with him.

Let's take him to this scary place I know of.

[SOBA & MASAYOSHI, carry Ukyo to an abandoned warehouse]

[SOBA, hands Masayoshi a rope]

[SOBA, points to a chair]

Sit him there and tie him up.

[MASAYOSHI]

O-ok…

Isn't this kinda cruel though?

[SOBA, laughs]

Pfft!

Nah, it's all jokes

[SOBA, hands Masayoshi a bandana]

[SOBA]

Put this on.

[SOBA, walks up to Ukyo]

[SOBA]

Ukyo punches like a wuss!

[UKYO, suddenly wakes up]

Who you sayin' punches like a wuss?!

[SOBA]

You, stupid!

[UKYO, tries to get out of the chair]

[UKYO, in shock]

What the-

What's with the rope?!

[SOBA]

We have some questions for you, Iwashiro Ukyo.

[UKYO]

I ain't talkin'!

[SOBA, turns over to Masayoshi]

[SOBA]

Pass me the hammer.

[UKYO, scared]

H- hammer?

Fine, fine!

I'll talk!

[SOBA]

Why are you after Mr. Sho?

[UKYO]

He pays me too!

[SOBA]

And who is "he"?

[UKYO]

Mr. Shikaga!

He pays me to "make Sho's life miserable"

The dude has a deep grudge on him for some reason…

I've even heard him mumble about killing Mr. Sho.

[MASAYOSHI, gasps]

Killing?!

What's this Mr. Shikaga's full name?!

[UKYO]

Sh- Shikaga Yoshimitsu!

[Suddenly, a large crash is heard from the front of the warehouse]

[TALL DARK FIGURE, walking through hole he punched through the warehouse doors]

[YOSHIMITSU]

You called, Ukyo?

[UKYO, gasps]

M- Mr. Shikaga!

[YOSHIMITSU]

Tell me, Ukyo…

What exactly is going on here?

[SOBA & MASAYOSHI, look on in shock]

[UKYO]

They-

They kidna-

[SOBA, covers Ukyo's mouth]

[SOBA]

We needed info on Mr. Sho.

Who is he?

Why are you after him?!

[YOSHIMITSU, laughs]

[YOSHIMITSU]

If by Mr. Sho you mean Shikage Sho…

He's my long-time arch-nemesis!

He's the one stopping me from being the future Shogun!

[SOBA, MASAYOSHI, & UKYO, shocked]

SHIKAGE?!

[YOSHIMITSU]

That's right!

That puny over the top teacher is in fact the heir to the throne!

At least he is currently.

And now that you know the secret…

I must kill you all.

[YOSHIMITSU, pulls out a gun]

[SOBA, quickly unties Ukyo and grabs Masayoshi]

[SOBA]

RUN!

[The three start running away as soon as Yoshimitsu starts shooting]

[They sprint out of the warehouse back towards the school]

[UKYO]

Where did you guys even take me?!

[SOBA]

We're not far from the school!

I thought it'd be funny to act like some kidnappers!

[UKYO]

YOU LITTLE-

[MASAYOSHI, out of breath]

I TOLD HIM NOT TO!!

[UKYO]

SHUT IT NERD!

[They look behind them, Yoshimitsu following close behind them]

[As they near the school, they see Sho & Bokki outside chatting over vending machine coffee]

[SOBA]

BOKKIIIIIII!!!

TAKE MR. SHO OUT OF HERE!

[BOKKI, looks over at the three running away from Yoshimitsu]

[BOKKI]

What the-?!

Sho, we gotta leave I guess.

[SHO, nods]

Very well, let us get going.

[BOKKI, picks the lock off a bike from the school, the student right behind him]

[BOKKI]

Hop on, Sho!

[SHO, quickly gets on the bike]

[BIKE OWNER]

Hey!

Give me my bike back!

[BOKKI, speeds off]

I'll bring it back tomorrow, dear student!

[BIKE OWNER]

YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!

[BOKKI & SHO, speed off, Soba & company close behind him, all being chased by Yoshimitsu]
