*It’s the next night and it is time for the operation. A bunch of cars can be seen pulling into Brodie’s mansion. Many politicians and their spouses can be seen pulling up and entering the mansion. Anthony and Lisa pull up in their car and get out to enter the mansion*
(Old lady): Oh my. Is that you Anthony? It’s been ages.
(Anthony): Madame Freya, how nice to see you again.
*Anthony kisses the hand of Freya*
(Freya): Always the charmer as usual Anthony. And who might this young lady be, your date?
(Anthony): Perish the thought madame.
(Lisa): My name is Lisa Nights. I work for a small tabloid magazine and looking to do an article on the party. Anthony here is an old acquaintance of my father who was more than happy to make me his plus one.
(Freya): *Chuckles* That sounds like something Anthony would do. Please enjoy yourself darling and be careful around this man. He’s left many women crying.
(Lisa): I’m sure he has.
*Anthony and Lisa walk into the mansion and make their way to the main hall where music is being played by a live band and a buffet table is out for everyone to enjoy along with servants walking around and offering drinks. Lisa goes to the buffet table*
(Lisa): Hello there. What’s on the menu tonight.
(Server): A special directly from Japan. Egg rolls.
*Lisa inspects the server and sees that it’s Kenji in disguise*
(Lisa): Sounds lovely. I’ll have 2 please.
*Kenji puts 2 eggrolls on her plate*
(Kenji): Thank you ma’am. Please be sure to try our other delicacies this evening. I recommend the tomato soup, the pumpkin pie, and of course the spotted dick.
*Lisa looks down the table to see Baron, Neo, and Yume serving food. Out on the floor she sees Shizuku, Yin-Yang, and Seras serving drinks while at the entrance, Chibi and Corbin are taking everyone’s personal belongings to a private and safe area. On Anthony’s side of the room, he goes to talk to a few politicians in the balcony where he sees Brodie and his wife chatting it up with a group*
(Anthony): I have eyes on the Exalted One.
(Lisa): Copy that. I see him as well. Mission is a go, Nitsuj.
*Outside of the mansion, Nitsuj is in a van with Chris, Isis, and Mira*
(Nitsuj): Copy that. We all ready?
(Everyone): Ready!
(Nitsuj): Let’s do this.
*Chris activates his drone as Nitsuj exits the van. Isis and Mira materialize into the drone as it begins to follow Nitsuj as they begin to make their way to the back of the mansion. They come across a few guards, but Chris knocks them out with his drone which is equipped with a stun shot. The accuracy was actually enhanced thanks to Isis and Mira*
(Nitsuj): Alright Chris, where’s Brodie’s office?
(Chris): It’s on the top floor and the only way inside is on that balcony which leads to their bedroom.
*The drone flies up to the bedroom and waits for Nitsuj who activates his anti-gravity watch. He jumps into the air where he lands silently on the balcony without making a sound. Nitsuj deactivates the watch and goes to pick the lock on the door. Nitsuj successfully picks the lock and enters the mansion with the drone not knowing that someone had seen him enter the building. Nitsuj and the drone quickly make their way into the hallway*
(Chris): This way, Brodie’s office is just at the end of that hallway.
*Nitsuj follows the drone down the hallway where they come to a dead end and turn left to see a door at the end of the hallway*
(Nitsuj): Well that was easy.
(Chris): Wait~.
*The drone sprays some mist to fill up the hall. Once it clears, Nitsuj can see the whole hallway is crawling with lasers as a security alarm*
(Nitsuj): Woah. Did not expect that.
(Chris): Alright Nitsuj, this next part of the mission is simple. All you have to do is jump over the first laser, followed by a slide, a double jump to the wall where you’ll run along it until you see a laser and jump off the wall only to do a 450 spin through the air followed by a diving roll through the final laser and you’ll be on the other side.
*Nitsuj stares blankly at the drone and Chris’s explanation*
(Nitsuj): You have got to be shitting me? I. . .I am not going to be able to do all that. Couldn’t you just deactivate the laser field?
(Chris): *Sighs* Fine~. I’ll do all the heavy lifting as always.
*Chris hacks into the security system and deactivates the laser field within seconds*
(Nitsuj): There, now was that so hard?
(Chris): If you wanna do things the easy way instead of the exciting way it’s your loss.
*Nitsuj runs down the hall and enters Brodie’s study. On his desk he sees Brodie’s laptop and goes to turn it on*
(Nitsuj): Alright ladies, you’re up.
(Isis): Our time to shine.
*The drone lands on the table and Nitsuj pulls out a USB cord from the drone to connect it to the laptop where Mira and Isis enter the laptop. They easily make it past the log in screen and make their way for the laptop’s hard drive. They reach the hard drive as Mira begins to hack into it. Mira’s hacking alerts the laptop’s security software and Isis defends her with ease as the security system wasn’t really all that good to begin with*
(Isis): This has got to be the weakest security system I have ever seen.
(Mira): Alright, I got something. Just need a few more minutes to sort it out.
(Chris): When you do send it to me and I’ll upload it to every online service in London. Time they learned to truth.
*As Nitsuj sat in the chair waiting for Mira to finish up, the doors to the study open and in walks a boy who looks to be 13 years old*
(Nitsuj): Uhh~ I can explain. This is all a dream.
(Teen boy): Bloody hell, you’re Nitsuj from Project Nitsuj. It is such a huge honor to meet you, I’m Oliver.
(Nitsuj): Can I assume Brodie is your dad?
*The boy gets a sad look on his face*
(Oliver): Yeah.
(Nitsuj): So what are you doing up here and not at the party?
(Oliver): It’s boring down there. All everyone talks about is bill this bill that. You should vote for this, don’t vote for that. It’s all just annoying and boring to listen to.
(Nitsuj): I can imagine. Still I thought you liked this stuff. Your dad made it sound like you did.
(Oliver): Not really. I did that to be close to him. My dad had these high hopes for me to be a politician when I grew up, but I really don’t have an interest in politics. I just wanted to be close to him and when I started showing an interest in politics, he started to take more interest with me and I was happy to spend time with him.
(Nitsuj): I see.
(Oliver): I wanna be an artist. I want to create a webtoon that everyone will enjoy but my dad doesn’t support my dream and we haven’t really spoken to each other for months. Ever since then he’s been campaigning to have anime banned from the country.
(Nitsuj): Yeah, I heard about that. That’s why I’m here. If everything goes right tonight then anime will be saved.
(Oliver): Really?
(Nitsuj): You bet.
(Oliver): Oh that’s great. My dad really needs to be stopped. He keeps saying my dreams are a waste of time. Sometimes I hate him.
(Nitsuj): Hey! Don’t ever say that about your dad. I don’t agree with what he’s doing, but he does love you. Hell, he’s doing all of this for you. I won’t lie kid, being an artist especially trying to make a manga is tough work. You can give it your best, do everything right, and chances are it still won’t be enough to please the masses.
(Oliver): So you’re saying I should give up too?
(Nitsuj): Of course not. A lot of manga artists took a chance and it paid off for them in the end. I’m just saying if you decide to go down this road give it everything you got. I’ll always be there to support up and comers and promote their work no matter what.
(Oliver): Wow, thank you.
*Mira finishes collecting all the data and sends it to Chris who in turn uploads it to the internet and hacks all of London so they can see the truth*
(Chris): All done here Nitsuj. Head on out.
*Mira and Isis come out of the laptop as Nitsuj shuts it down*
(Oliver): Woah! Isis and Mira.
(Nitsuj): Guys, meet Oliver Davis. A good fan of the site and an inspiring artist.
(Isis): Hello.
(Mira): Nice to meet you. Please be sure to send us your work when it’s done.
(Isis): Yes, we love seeing the work of up and comers.
(Nitsuj): Well Oliver it was nice meeting you. Also, you should try telling your dad how you really feel. I’m sure he’ll listen to you. After I knock some sense into him.
(Oliver): Wait what?
(Nitsuj): Don’t worry. You’ll know when to step in at the right time.
*Nitsuj makes his way out of the room with Isis, Mira, and the drone right behind him. As they turn the corner they run into Brodie*
(Brodie): I don’t recall inviting you to my party.
(Isis): And we don’t recall doing any major crimes that would warrant an arrest.
(Nitsuj): It’s over Brodie. We leaked all your false slandering online. Right now all of London knows that anime isn’t bad.
(Brodie): True, but I believe you’re forgetting what really matters here. The vote of Parliament. It doesn’t matter what the people think, all that matters is what Parliament thinks.
(Mira): Wow, the mindset between the politicians of our countries is so similar it’s not even funny.
(Nitsuj): If that’s the case then perhaps you won’t mind if I go down there and have a little talk with your Parliament friends.
*Nitsuj tries to make his way to the stairs only to get stopped by a right hook across the face which sends him crashing to the wall*
(Mira and Isis): Nitsuj!
(Brodie): I played rugby in high school and college and I do boxing to stay in shape, so don’t fuck with this politician.
*Nitsuj punches Brodie in the stomach and then shoulder tackles him into the wall*
(Nitsuj): Yeah? Well I played basketball in high school and college and studied various forms of martial arts to stay in shape and help me relax, so don’t fuck with this otaku.
*Brodie tackles Nitsuj to the ground and the two begin to fight each other as they roll down the stairs getting everyone’s attention. Nitsuj kicks Brodie off of him and Brodie gets up and runs to the buffet table where he grabs a large knife*
(Nitsuj): Ah, I see you have a knife, but what you really need is a sword.
*Kenji comes bursting out of the kitchen with a sword in his hand*
(Kenji): Somebody order a sword?
*Nitsuj raises his right hand and Kenji tosses the sword to him*
(Nitsuj): Because this just became a sword fight.
*Nitsuj unsheathes the sword and charges at Brodie where he knocks the knife out of Brodie’s hand with the sword. With Brodie defenseless, Nitsuj goes to town on him. He knocks Brodie upside the head with the sword’s handle before punching him multiple times in the chest and head area. Nitsuj sheathes his sword as Brodie wobbles in the middle of the hall barely able to stand. Nitsuj grabs Brodie by the collar and finishes him off with a left hook which sends him to the ground still conscious, unable to get back up. Nitsuj breathes hard as he stands over Brodie and Yin-Yang comes over to give him a glass of water*
(Nitsuj): Thank you.
*Nitsuj drinks the glass of water.
(Nitsuj): Brodie. Do you know why I’m upset right now?
(Brodie): I have a few guesses.
(Nitsuj): And they would all be wrong. It’s not the fact that you hate me, trying to get anime banned from the country and pinning the blame on me, or trying to get me arrested under false charges. It’s the fact that you failed to understand your own son. You said your son wanted to be a politician, but did he ever tell you that or did you just assume that’s what he wanted? When was the last time you ever spent any one on one time with him that didn’t involve politics or work? Did you ever sit down and talk about what he wanted to do with his life and what he was passionate about?
(Brodie): Don’t do this! You have no right to lecture me about how to raise my own son.
(Nitsuj): You’re right, I don’t. However, I can see when a parent is forcing their life onto their child which is what you’re doing.
(Oliver): He’s right dad. I never wanted to be a politician. No offence, but your work just sounds so annoying. I just read up on this stuff so we could talk. You always talk about Adam and Natalie and how great they are, but never seemed all that interested in what I could do or had to say. Dad, I want to be an artist, I want to someday write my own webtoon and share it with everyone.
(Nitsuj): I won’t lie to you, Oliver’s dream will be a difficult one, but I’ve seen the determination in his eyes and he’s got my support. However, that means little compared to the support he’ll get from his dad.
(Brodie): *Sigh* You mind helping me up, so I can hug my son.
*Shizuku and Neo help up Brodie and he goes to hug Oliver. Nitsuj then grabs a spoon and clanks it on his glass of water to get everyone’s attention*
(Nitsuj): Alright, I’m sorry to cut this family moment so short, but I need to tell everyone something. Question, who here is in Parliament?
*A lot of people raise their hands*
(Nitsuj): Okay, wow, there’s a lot of you people here tonight. My name is Nitsuj and I run an online blogging site of anime reviews in America. I know a majority of you have probably never seen an anime in your life and tomorrow you’ll be voting to ban it from the country because you’ve heard a lot of bad things about it, but you were all fooled to believe them by false sites to trigger you. They manipulated the facts and packaged them to make you hate it and push all your buttons to make you think anime is nothing but trash and a waste of time. Well it’s not. Anime is creative, it’s funny, inspiring, exciting, philosophical, and in some cases can educate people about life and help give them a new perspective on it. It may not be perfect, there are some bad anime out there, but the good anime will always outweigh the bad anime. It’s within anime that our dreams and imagination come to life and inspires us to go out and create our own stories. It’s better than the alternative which is a bleak world where creativity doesn’t exist and we’re left with crappy remakes of past shows and ideas that don’t move us forward. Support creativity, imagination, and risk! Don’t let a bunch of shadowy organizations control you or what you want to watch. Be happy and be free to let yourself and others watch whatever they want.
*Anthony and Lisa begin to slow clap and soon the whole room begins to join in. Even Brodie as well*
(Nitsuj): Thank you all. You honor me tonight with your open mindedness.
*The police soon walk in and go to Brodie*
(Officer): Mr. Davis. We got a call about a disturbance. Is everything alright here?
(Brodie): Yes officer, everything is fine.
(Officer #2): Hey wait, isn’t that that Nitsuj fella? There’s a warrant out for his arrest.
(Brodie): The charges put on him were false. I can vouch for him. He and his acquaintances are all innocent.
(Officer): Very good sir. Enjoy your evening.
*The officers leave as Brodie walks them out. Brodie’s smartphone rings and he answers it*
(???): Brodie, what’s going on!? The articles that we circulated are now being reported as false.
(Brodie): Yes, it appears that your enemies are smarter than you give them credit for. I’m so glad you guys called too. I have decided to withdraw from our deal, it seems that I have a new perspective on this whole anime thing. Best of luck to you.
(???): What! Brodie you can’t just-
*Brodie ends the call and goes back in to enjoy the party. In a secret underground location the Order of Iustitia Socialis is in a panic*
(Order of Iustitia Socialis council member): Curse you Brodie! Curse you Nitsuj! Everything that we’ve worked so hard for has been undone in one night!
(Order of Iustitia Socialis member): Sir! We have an emergency!
(Order of Iustitia Socialis council member): Not now you idiot! Can’t you see we’re busy!
(Cole): Oh trust me I think I’m someone you want to talk to.
*Cole enters the room and members of the Order point their guns at him*
(Cole): Quite the warm reception we have here. Look, I told your guys I found on the streets I have no intention of fighting you. If anything I’m here to help.
(Order of Iustitia Socialis council member): How so?
(Cole): You and I share a common enemy: Nitsuj. He ruined our lives and just like me I’m sure you would like nothing more than to get some sweet revenge.
(Order of Iustitia Socialis council member): Hmm~, have a seat, I would like to hear what you have in mind mister-
(Cole): Michaels. Cole Michaels.
