*After Nitsuj’s shocking news Danny and Brian moved this conversation into a conference room*
(Danny): So let me get this straight. All of you are AI girls?
(Mira): Yes. Outside of Chibi, Isis, and Yume we all come from different dimensions. It’s a long story but basically evil Nitsuj, killed our Nitsujs, enslaved us, this Nitsuj freed us, and now we live with him.
(Brian): Sounds like your B rank shounen story to me. What about the Atlus mascots over there? It’s a little early for Halloween.
(Baron): Infidel! We are the Jack Bros. supernatural beings from the Principality of Jack.
(Corbin): We transcend your line of thinking. Bow before are awesome-
(Seras): Shut it!
(Baron and Corbin): Yes ma’am.
(Seras): You shouldn’t be concerning yourself with us. Just know that we can help you guys at whatever it is you’re doing.
(Yume): She’s right. Where Nitsuj goes we go. Either you let us in on this operation or repairing that door will be the least of your problems.
(Danny): Wow, straight to the point. I like that. Alright, you girls are in.
(Shizuku): Thank you. Now let’s focus on the next business at hand. Finding out what the hell is going on between Isis, Nitsuj, and Ashlyn here.
*Everyone looks to Isis where she has her pistol aimed at Nitsuj’s head*
(Yin-Yang): Are you gonna put that gun down, you’ve been pointing it at him for like 10 minutes now. Either shoot the guy or lower it.
(Isis): I’m still waiting on answers. And depending on those answers I might go ahead and shoot him. Now explain. How is this woman my mother?
(Nitsuj): Okay. She’s not your mother biologically but she did contribute in creating you. You see Isis, creating artificial intelligence isn’t easy. In order to give that computer some identity and human feelings we decided to give it human DNA and that’s where Ashlyn came in.
(Ashlyn): I have to admit when Nitsuj and his friend Chris told me what they were making I didn’t believe them but since it was favor from him I couldn’t say no. So I gave him some of my hair and through some crazy science mambo jumbo they created you. So in a sense what Nitsuj said is true, I am your mother. In some crazy way.
(Chibi Isis): Wow. So does that make you my obaa-chan?
(Ashlyn): I’m a little too young to be a mother so how about we try something different.
(Chibi Isis): Ash-chan?
(Ashlyn): I guess that’ll work.
(Chibi Isis): Yay!
*Chibi Isis leaps and hugs Ashlyn*
(Ashlyn): Aww~ you’re so cute. I would be happy to have a child like you some day.
(Nitsuj): So is that a satisfying answer for you Isis.
(Isis): Yes. But still, YOU KEPT THIS FROM ME FOR SO LONG!
*Isis shoots Nitsuj in the head and he falls to the ground in pain*
(Ashlyn): Hey that was uncalled for.
(Isis): You stay out of this. My DNA may have come from you but don’t think for one second I think of you as my mother. Now who exactly are you guys anyway?
(Danny): We are AIA. Anime Intelligence Agency. A secret organization made of fans and otakus of anime. As anime began spreading in the west it unfortunately created weeaboos. People who gave true fans of anime a bad name and began harming the anime community. So a few fans of anime got together and decided this needed to stop. At first our job was to keep the weeaboos in check but as time went on and anime became more popular our operation began to expand. We soon found ourselves helping get popular anime over to the west, keeping VAs safe from weeaboos, and maintaining orders at cons.
(Yume): Maintain orders at cons?
(Brian): Don’t be fooled. Cons may be cheerful and fun on the surface but over the last few years they’ve been the hotspot for black market deals in the anime community and some have even tried to sabotage cons in process.
(Ashlyn): Because of this a new division had to be made to directly tackle these underground deals as well as take on the threat of weeaboos who were starting to organize. That’s when a man from the east named Kenji Fenikusu a drifter and fan of anime said that he help train people how to use the anime force and form his own combat team. He called this team the Dark Syndicate.
(Shizuku): Why am I detecting influence from the Bullet Club in Japan?
(Nitsuj): The Bullet Club was inspired by us. Although the idea was essentially the same. A team of individuals from all over the world who loved anime and came together to form this group.
(Chibi Isis): Why do you know so much about the group Nii-chan?
(Yume): Wait, Kenji Fenikusu? As in the same man who trained you?
(Nitsuj): That’s right, I was one of the founding members of the syndicate. After high school I was preparing to go to college but couldn’t make the money to attend the one I wanted to go. That’s when I was discovered by AIA who had recognized my love for anime and decided to recruit me. With their help I was able to go to my dream college and worked for them in my spare time. I started off as a simple office clerk, handling paper work, and sending in reports. Eventually I became an agent in the field where I met Kenji. He saw my potential in being able to use the aniforce and helped me bring it out in full force. From there, he took me under his wing and began training me along with my good friend Cole.
(Mira): Who’s Cole?
(Nitsuj): He was my partner out in the field. He and I both loved anime and became the best of friends. Kenji also saw Cole’s potential and began training him as well. Before long Ashlyn joined us and together with Kenji we formed the Dark Syndicate. Within months we had finished our training and had become well-oiled fighting machines who were saving cons and whipping weeaboo ass. After college, I joined the organization full time and Kenji had decided to wonder off and train naming me the new leader of the syndicate.
(Ashlyn): With Nitsuj at the helm of the group and Cole as his right-hand man we made great strides in cutting the weeaboos down and finding new members to join the syndicate. Nitsuj soon gain the nickname of the Dark Samurai because of his sword skills and samurai like mentality when facing enemies.
(Danny): Great strides? Everywhere you guys went you left destruction in your wake. Public property destroyed and I was responsible for handling it. The amount of paperwork and complaints I got because of you guys nearly drove me insane. Kenji also gave me a headache but he was nothing compared to the antics of Nitsuj.
(Nitsuj): Oh screw you Danny I got the jobs done didn’t I? Anyway, I stayed in charge of the group from 2011 until the beginning of 2013 when I decided to go into semi-retirement to become a reviewer and from there you guys all know the story.
(Seras): Wow, so all this time our Nitsujs were agents of the government.
(Yume): So that explains all your combat training and why you live in a nice home without having an actual job.
(Nitsuj): Yep. Kenji trained me good and the agency pays me handsomely for my years of service and since I still work for them even though I’m not active in the field but instead doing a different assignment they still have to pay me.
(Mira): And what exactly is your assignment?
(Nitsuj): Helping spread anime knowledge. Like I said at the start of Project Nitsuj there’s a lot of anime out there and some people don’t have time to watch so why not listen to a reviewer you can trust while also make you laugh. That’s why I started Project Nitsuj. To make people laugh while also helping them watch good anime and steer them away from the anime that can be considered bad. But taking on a job like this alone can be hard so I figured why not have an assistant to help me out. That’s when I created Isis and soon Chibi.
(Shizuku): And then we joined you. So wait, does that mean our DNA came from a friend of Nitsuj in our universe?
(Nitsuj): Possible. If your Nitsujs were on the same mission as me, there’s a good chance you guys all have DNA from a girl they were familiar with and that means you all have mothers in your world. Pretty interesting huh?
*Mira, Shizuku, Yin-Yang, and Seras attack Nitsuj upon hearing this information*
(Yin-Yang): You bastard! When were you gonna tell us this!?
(Danny): I’m sorry. As much as I enjoy seeing Nitsuj get beaten up, we have important things to discuss.
(Nitsuj): Right! Let’s get down to business. So why did you guys call me back into the field. It must be something pretty big if you’re calling me back.
(Ashlyn): It is. Earlier this year we had just gotten done helping Funimation work out a deal. A deal that many fans of the west have been crying out for. A re-dubbing of Revolutionary Girl Utena.
(Nitsuj): No shit! I thought Rightstuf owned the rights to the show.
(Brian): They did. But thanks to our negotiations we managed to get them to give the dubbing rights to Funimation. This deal was under the table. Nobody knows about this yet and Funimation quickly got to work dubbing the episodes.
(Danny): The plan was for Funimation to unveil a preview of the new dub at the final stop of Anifest. Our con tour where we will be hitting major cities all throughout the summer and leading to a grand finale in Los Angeles. We have guest VAs, directors, artist, and musicians all making an appearance on the tour and like I said before Funimation wanted to unveil it at the final stop to get fans hyped and excited.
(Isis): That’s a great idea. Revealing the new dub of possibly one of the greatest animes of all time would get anyone excited.
(Brian): Yes, that was the plan, but unfortunately the weeaboos caught wind of this deal and acted quickly. They raided Funimation HQ and tried to destroy the preview. Luckily, security managed to stop them but the flash drive holding the preview got sent in the outgoing mail during the scrimmage to stop them.
(Ashlyn): That’s when we got called in. We were asked to retrieve the flash drive before the weeaboos. So Cole went to retrieve it from New York where it was sent but the weeaboos were also there. A fight ensued where neither side got the drive and Cole went missing out of it. We know he’s alive, we just can’t make contact with him.
(Nitsuj): Man that’s crazy. So who has the drive now?
(Danny): Well thanks to our sources we managed to find out that the drive has fallen into the hands of a weeaboo transporter.
(Baron): Well that’s bad. So they won?
(Danny): No. They haven’t destroyed it yet.
(Corbin): Huh? Why not?
(Danny): Hell if I know. Trying to understand a weeaboo is next to impossible. For some reason they’re keeping it still intact and plan on doing something major in Los Angeles at the con. We don’t know what they’re planning or how they’re moving so well but if the weeaboos are behind it you know it can’t be good. This is where you come in. After capturing and interrogating a weeaboo we’ve found out that the transporter is a reviewer joining the tour. The problem is we don’t know which reviewer it is. Your job will be to infiltrate their ranks, find the transporter, retrieve the stolen flash drive, and deliver it back just in time before the showing of it in Los Angeles.
(Mira): I get it now. Because Nitsuj is such a well-known reviewer on the internet who barely talks about his past and just comes across as the average reviewer with an active imagination they won’t suspect him of being an agent.
(Danny): Exactly!
(Nitsuj): Alright no pressure. The only problem is 2 months isn’t enough time to go in and search everyone on the tour. By the time we find the guy it’ll probably be too late.
(Ashlyn): You won’t have to search all of them. When starting the tour we asked reviewers if they wanted to go to every spot. Besides you only 10 other people signed up to start from beginning to end meaning one of them is the transporter.
*Ashlyn pulls up a list on her iPad and shows it to Nitsuj*
(Nitsuj): Hmm~, these are all big-name reviewers I’m familiar with a long with a couple of new up and comers who have gained quite a bit of popularity.
(Ashlyn): Anyone of them could be the transporter.
*As they check the list sirens go off*
(Nitsuj): What’s going on?
*Danny uses his wristwatch communicator to contact tech support*
(Danny): Phil, was going on out there?
(Phil): It’s bad! It’s a cyber-attack from the weeaboos! They’re trying to hack our files.
(Danny): Stop them! We can’t let them know what we’re up to!
(Phil): We’re trying! But this is one major attack! It’s too big for us to handle!
(Nitsuj): Ladies, this is your area of expertise. Give them hell.
(AI girls): Right!
*The AI girls log into the nearest USB port and dive into the system*
(Brian): Woah! Where they’d go?
(Nitsuj): They logged into your system to fight against the attack. Now let’s go. We’re heading back up top.
(Brian): Huh? But why?
(Nitsuj): A cyber-attack like this couldn’t have been done remotely. Someone in this building must have logged into the network and I’m betting they’re still here.
*Nitsuj leaves the room with Brian, Ashlyn, and the Jack Bros. right behind him but as he leaves he turns around and goes back to the room to talk to Danny*
(Nitsuj): It was nice seeing you again Danny. Oh and screw you.
*Nitsuj leaves the room*
(Danny): Only here for a few hours and he’s already costing me money.
