*It’s the day of the con and the placed is pack with anime fans and otakus. Nitsuj is checking out all the festivities of the con with Brian, Seras and Yume before his panel later on that day*
(Yume): Wow, so this is a con. I can see why you’ve always wanted to go to one so once now Nitsuj. It’s so much fun.
(Nitsuj): I know right?
(Brian): Do try to stay focus on the task at hand.
(Nitsuj): No worries Brian. I’m investigating. In fact, I’m going to check out my very first suspect, Lil Lupe.
(Brian): The Hispanic anime reviewer? She’s only 14 years old and yet she’s already got a following on Youtube in the Hispanic circle.
(Nitsuj): Yep. And with two Hispanic AIs working for the weeaboos I think it’s a fair assumption she might have a hand in this.
(Brian): By the way, I’m curious as to where the rest of your team is.
(Seras): Yin-Yang is resting back at the room. She trained all night until she finally collapsed from exhaustion. We have Shizuku watching over her just in case. As for Isis she’s on standby with Mira in the base down below. Mira is using her network to see if she can find out anything about Le Renegades and the Silver Knight. As for Chibi and the Jack Bros. they’re taking in the con and gathering information first hand.
(Brian): You sure it’s wise to let those two walk around. I mean a talking pumpkin and snowman is sure to attract attention.
(Baron): I wouldn’t worry about that B-man.
*A human-sized man with tanned skin, orange-eyes, black hair, and wearing an orange shirt with black pants approaches the group*
(Brian): Who are you?
(Baron): It’s me, Baron. I casted a spell to appear more human. Same with Corbin.
*Baron points to Corbin who is mingling with some cosplayers along with Chibi Isis. Corbin has transformed into a human where his skin is white, he has blue eyes, blonde hair, and is wearing a white shirt with blue pants*
(Baron): We’ve got things covered. Also, Nitsuj. There’s talk of a party going down tonight. Might be something to look into.
(Nitsuj): A party huh? See what else you can find out about this party.
(Baron): Roger.
(Brian): Man, that magic is something.
(Seras): Unfortunately, that there’s only major strength. If not for that they just be useless perverts.
*As they talk Nitsuj spots Lupe eating at a table*
(Nitsuj): There she is. You guys stay here and be on the lookout for anything suspicious.
*Everyone nods and goes their separate way while Nitsuj goes to see Lupe. Upon closer inspection Nitsuj notices that Lupe is reviewing some notes*
(Nitsuj): Getting ready for the panel I see.
*Lupe gets startled by Nitsuj and smiles once she sees him*
(Lupe): Yeah. This is the first time I’ve been on a panel at a con so I’m quite nervous.
(Nitsuj): Same here. But all we can do is just go up there and be ourselves. I’m just glad I won’t be doing it alone.
(Lupe): Me too. I was worried I would slow you down. When I heard I was going to be sharing a panel with you I got really nervous.
(Nitsuj): Really? Am I that intimidating?
(Lupe): No not at all! It’s just that you’ve been doing this a little longer than I have and whenever I see you everything you do just comes out naturally. It’s like you’re never nervous.
(Nitsuj): *Chuckles* Sorry to burst that bubble but truth be told I’m always nervous whenever I’m about to speak in front of a large group. I just keep telling myself don’t screw up, don’t screw up. But like I said all we can do is just be ourselves and do what we always do. Take you for example, everybody really likes your feisty attitude. I know I always get a kick out of them. So how about this.
*Nitsuj explains a sketch that he and Lupe could do before they start the panel to get a laugh out of everyone and calm their nerves. This manages to get a laugh out of her as she likes the idea and she begins contributing with him on what they should do as well as ask him his opinions on topics and practice her response to questions*
(Lupe): So what about this question. A good shounen anime that isn’t too mainstream but is easy to get into.
(Nitsuj): Oh that’s an easy one. Hunter x Hunter. Pure, simple, great action, great story, and great characters. Well look at the time it’s almost time for our panel.
(Lupe): You’re right. We better get into position.
(Nitsuj): You go ahead, I’m gonna use the restroom first.
*Nitsuj gets up and walks towards the restroom where it is surprisingly empty. After using the restroom he goes to wash his hands*
(Nitsuj): Alright. You can come out now.
*One of the stall doors open and out pops Miguel*
(Nitsuj): You’ve been watching me all this time. Did you really think I wouldn’t sense you?
(Miguel): Pretty impressive senses. Yet despite sensing me you didn’t take action against me.
(Nitsuj): I wanted to see what you would do first. I take it your one of the AIs from Les Renegades?
(Miguel): I am Miguel, at your service.
*Miguel bows his head*
(Miguel): And you must be the Dark Samurai. I’ve heard stories about you and how you destroyed our operation in Japan.
(Nitsuj): To be fair that was just chance that I happened to walk in on one of your operations. Also, you’re the guy who hurt my wolf ninja. You’re lucky I don’t kick your ass right here and now for you did to her.
(Miguel): You’re welcome to try. I would think any man would want to come to the aid of his woman.
(Nitsuj): My relationship with Yin-Yang is nothing like that. She’s someone I really do respect and out of respect for her I’m going to give you a pass on the beating I would give you for harming her.
(Miguel): Com licença?
(Nitsuj): What, you don’t get it? Let me spell it out for you. As far as I’m concern the thing between you and Yin-Yang is your own little story and I’m just a side character in it. I’m just watching from the sides. Also, I should be thanking you. For a while now Yin-Yang has hit a wall in her training and thanks to you she now has a desire to break pass that wall to defeat you and trust me, once she gets pass that wall she will beat you.
(Miguel): *Chuckles* You certainly do have of faith in her.
(Nitsuj): Obviously. My girls are no pushovers. Just know this, no matter how that story ends. You’re not walking away without a few scratches and bruises on you. Look forward to that.
*Nitsuj washes his hands and dries them*
(Nitsuj): Well see ya. Gotta go do my panel.
*Nitsuj leaves the restroom but comes back in say one last thing*
(Nitsuj): Oh and screw you, the weeaboos, and that Silver Knight guy. Have a nice day.
*After saying that Nitsuj leaves the restroom and meets back up with Seras, Yume, and Brian*
(Brian): Are you okay Nitsuj? Seras felt someone dangerous was in there with you.
(Nitsuj): I’m fine. It was nothing dangerous. Just letting our friend from yesterday know we’re coming for him. Let’s get going.
*As Nitsuj and the others head for his panel they see Nate finishing up his panel. Curious, Nitsuj decides to take a peek inside where he sees he’s talking about the Negima animes and saying how great they were. Everybody applauds him as he gets up and leaves the stage and heads to the back where Nitsuj is pissed at what just happened*
(Nitsuj): Hey what the hell was that?
(Nate): What was what?
(Nitsuj): That banter on stage, last night you said that you thought the Negima animes were crap and now you’re praising them. What’s going on here?
(Nate): Oh that. Yeah I still do think the animes suck but my sponsors said to praise the anime and diss the manga.
(Nitsuj): You mean to tell me you listen to what people tell you to say instead of what you want to say? Dude that’s not reviewing that’s selling out.
(Nate): I think you mean selling in and getting paid handsomely. Good luck out there Nitsuj.
*Nate walks away not really caring about what Nitsuj said to him*
(Nitsuj): Why that no good corporate kiss ass.
(Seras): Just say the word and I’ll snap his back.
(Brian): Easy guys I know how you feel. But don’t forget what Danny asked you to do. I know you and Danny have never really seen eye to eye but I don’t think even he would forgive you if you did anything that would affect our relationship with Dessian Enterprises.
(Nitsuj): Fine. I’ll let it go. This time at least.
(Announcer): And now continually on with our next panelist we have Nitsuj from Project Nitsuj and Lil Lupe from Lil Lupe’s Corner.
*The crowd applauds for Nitsuj and Lupe as they go on stage, greet each other and then greet each other by doing a fun and inventive handshake with each other which gets a good laugh out of the audience. They then sit down and do their panel where they both do a great job. Later on we cut to Isis training in the A.R.T room when Ashlyn walks in on other*
(Ashlyn): Hi there.
(Isis): Hello.
(Ashlyn): Look, I know this whole experience must be awkward for you but you can’t keep ignoring me. What say we spar a little bit to clear up the air between us. I’m curious to see just how strong you are.
(Isis): A lot stronger than you I’m sure.
*Isis tries to walk away but Ashlyn stops her*
(Ashlyn): Oh~ confident. You’ve definitely got my personality within you.
*Isis takes out her rapier and prepares to fight*
(Isis): I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say that.
(Ashlyn): Why, it’s the truth.
*Isis lunges toward Ashlyn with her rapier aimed at her. Ashlyn pulls out her weapon which is also a rapier and uses it to block Isis’s attack shocking her*
(Ashlyn): Oh what. You thought you were the only one who uses a rapier in battle? Where do think your original fighting style came from? Also, I’m the Elegant Dancer.
*The ladies begin to spar with each other where Ashlyn is able to keep up with Isis’s attacks making Isis angrier. As their sparring continues, it comes to a stop when Nitsuj enters the room by knocking the door down*
(Ashlyn): Nitsuj, the door was open.
(Isis): Trust me, he knows. He’s just doing that to make a point.
(Nitsuj): Right you are Isis. I’m glad to see you two getting along so well because tonight you two will be joining me as we go to get a potential perp.
(Ashlyn): You really think Lupe is working for the weeaboos?
(Nitsuj): No, Lupe is clean. Sweet girl. You guys should really think about bringing her onto the team. While Lupe is innocent her cousin is the one I don’t trust, Malcom Salcone of the Salcone family.
(Ashlyn): Salcone? That’s a pretty good guess.
(Isis): Why?
(Ashlyn): The Salcone operate like a mob family in the anime underground. They own a large share of Sentai Filmworks and Malcolm has appeared on our radar a number of times in the past for illegal activity.
(Nitsuj): Plus, since his family owns a part of Sentai Filmworks it would make sense for them to screw over Funimation plus I saw him socializing with a few weeaboos earlier today. According to the Jacks he’s hosting a party tonight to close out the Miami con at his hotel.
(Isis): Sounds like fun. Count me in.
(Ashlyn): And me as well.
(Isis): Oh no, me and Nitsuj totally have this covered. You can just stay here and relax.
(Ashlyn): No I insist, I think this mission would give us a good chance to bond with each other.
*Isis and Ashlyn chuckle at each other while showing a fake smile to each other*
(Nitsuj): I knew you two would get along just fine.
