Chapter 1: The deal
It should have been around 3 p.m, when Terry first laid eyes on his contact from the chi you men...
Terry was the leader of the mad angels, a gang of punks that controled the yokosuka harbour and had just started in the business of selling guns and drugs overseas, so about a mouth ago, they decided to cooperate with the powerful chinese cartel in order to gain their sympathy and enough power to get rid of their enemy chen to gain total control of the hong kong route... So on the 23rd of november a boat arrived from china carrying Logan, a high ranked chi you men member, and a "Soldier" in black suit called smith, they followed the instructions and walked to the back of warehouse no 17, the mad angels own warehouse, where they were expected by terry, the mad angels leader.
The meeting was supposed to take place at 2 45.pm and at exactly that time both chi you men members arrived at the warehouse. Five mad angels were there to welcome them carrying beers and vodka.
"Welcome gentleman, have a seat and drink with us,""thereīre still cold."They started saying.
"Wich one of you is terry?" logan asked looking around.
There was a brief period of silence, the mad angels werenīt expecting such an aswer.
"Iīm terry!" Said a voice from the back of the warehouse, terry was sitting on his favourite crate along with his second hand pedro warren, a huge guy with discomunal strenght
"You guys sure got here fast" pedro said trying please them
"Our business here is with terry and terry only" Said the man in black suit
The mad angels didnīt liked their aroogacy and they all got up preparing to fight, this was tipical among such street punks as the mad angels, if a wrong word is said a fight is inevitable.
"Stop!! Get out you guys, leave us alone" Terry ordered, this was the only way to prevent mad angels to fight, among them terryīs word was the law.
"Your business is with me, but pedro here stays, thatīs the deal"
All the other thugs left the warehouse leaving Terry, Pedro, Logan and the man in black suit by themselves.
"You promised an adress, letīs hear it" said the man in black suit.
"how do i know you will keep your part of the deal?"
"Our word is more than enough for you"
"No, it is not"
Logan looked at terry with his cold, deep eyes, it was said among the low ranks of the chi you that such high ranks as logan could scare a man just by looking at them, the truuth was that terry was already afraid of logan, even tough he was a short guy he posessed that inner confidance that he just wasnīt used to, terry was used to deal with dangerous men, and punks , but this was his first time with a real mafia member, an high rank from such a powerfull organization standing right there in front of him wearing the tradicional velvet robe like all the other chi you men "made men", gave him chills up and down his spine.
"You have our word, the long zha will happen, and youīll get your hong kong route fully established!!, now the adress?"
Terry reflect for awhile, then agreeded, nodding his head to pedro
"the guy you are looking for, iwao hazuki lives right here in yokosuka, in a small place called yamanose, he runs a karate dojo with two students: his son ryo hazuki and a man called fukuhara, they all live together with an old housekeeper.
"we should check the adress logan-sama" Said the man in black suit turning to logan.
"You guys shouldnīt even had bothered, if you wanted, my boys could have went there and get him here, for him to take a journey to the bottom of the sea, thatīs how we do things around here."
"What do you guys want with this man anyway?" Asked pedro
"thatīs none of your business" said the man in black suit "youīve done your part now just keep out of this..."
Logan interruped smithīs speech lifting his hand "You appear to want to please us donīt you? First this little surprise party, and now are offering your services to help us get this man, ...well, so be it then, send some of your guys and bring him over here." Logan allways acted this directly, even tough he wasnīt naturally chinese, wich is one of the main condictions to be part of the chi you men, he worked his way to the top real easy, dued to his ability of understanding his oponents, their needs, their desires..
Terry laughed standing up. "Fine, he will get the mad angels treatment."
"Consider it done" Pedro added.
Chapter 2: Rumble in the dojo
"What is that" asked fuku san scared at all the yelling and cursing coming from the yard. Five mad angels members had broken into the house, and started yelling for iwao to come out. He and his sensei, iwao hazuki, were training togheter at night like they allways did in the hazuki dojo, they were both alone, ine - san had gone to visit a friend and ryo was out as usuall.
"Calm down fuku-san, Why donīt you go outside and talk to them?" Said calmy hazuki sensei
"what?, but sensei..."
"maybe they arenīt such bad men, try and find out what they want, keep your calm, be brave and make the right decicions.
"All right sensei"
Fuku san stepped out of the dojo, and all thugs started laughing.
"wow!!"
"Arenīt you brave, you came here to defend your little sensei? what a coward he is..."
"Come out you chicken shit, we will teach you how to fight"
"If you donīt come out i guess we will have to come in"
"You will never get in here" Said fuku -san with bravevry, Fuku-san wasnīt a very smart man, but he had the bravery of a true warrior.
"Who is gonna stop us? You?"
"If i have to i will"
Hazuki sensei walked out of the dojo calmy.
"Wow look who decided to show up"
"What do these men want fuku -san?"
"We want to kick your ass", one said , and all started lauguing.
Fuku - san stepped forward.
"We have nothing to do with you, please leave."
"Or what?"
One of the guys pushed fuku san, he imediatly grabbed his arm and thrown him over his back.
They all ran for fuku and a fight started, fuku was doing well on his own, dodging their attacks and performing dark side hazukis pit blows and low kicks, bur there were five of them and they finally managed to pinn him down to the floor. Only two mad angels guys were still standing when they managed to dominate fuku-san.
"Now we will teach you some manners, a guys said kicking fuku in the gut while the other kept him pinned down to the floor.
"Thatīs enough" yelled Iwao.
Both guys dropped fuku san and went towards iwao.
"Now itīs your turn you little prick".
Faster than a lightning, iwao stepped forward and punched both in the face, folowed by back spinning kick, brutal tiger than knoked them both out.
The three men defeated by fuku - san had already started running like rabbits, and these two were soon to follow them but iwao caught one by the arm, puched him to the floor and aplied a painfull arm bar.
"Now you aswer my questions, if you lie, it will be worse for you.
"Ouch let go, you fuck, youīre braking my fucking arm."
"First you aswer my questons, then iīll let you go, who are you guys and whatdid you wanted from me?"
"we were ordered to come here by our leader." He said in pain.
"who is your leader?"
"his name is terry, but i have never seen him, all i heard is that he received a chinese guy today and then a guy told us to come here and get you."
"A chinese man?" Iwao tought scared
He let go of the punk and he ran out of the house.
Fuku san aproached his sensei.
"What did he say?"
Iwao didnīt aswered, in fact he was so into his deep toughts and old memories that he didnīt even heard him.
"Shall we call the police, sensei"?
"No!" he finally said "Now listen fuku - san you promise me something now."
"what?"
"you will forget this ever happened, donīt tell ine - san because you would only worry her, and specially do NOT tell Ryo.
"Why not, sensei?"
"you know him, he would do something about this and he would only get himself into more fights, now promise fuku - san.!"
"yes. I promise Sensei."
"good. Iwao said with a smile. He turned his head to fuku - san and smiled at him.
"you were like my son fuku , i took care of you since you were fifhteen and you trained hard under my instructions allways keeping your loyalty and respect, today you fought like a demon to protect me , thank you for all these years of loyalty, and frienship, I am very pround of you, you and Ryo.
Iwao stood his hand over to fuku - san.
Fuku - san didnīt knew what to think, untill that day hazuki sensei had allways been very strict and had never gotten emotional and now he was saying that to him and now he was standing him his hand like old friens do.
Fuku - san shooked his senseiīs hand with tears in his eyes.
"Whatever happens please donīt think less of me!"
"What? sensei what...?"
Now you just keep your loyalty to me like you have allways kept in these long 10 years, and tell no - one about what happened here today.
"Yes sensei i promise you." Fuku san said with a respectfull boul.
"Good" Iwao said nodding his head. He released fuku - sanīs hand and entered home leaving him in the yard.
That same night, Iwao pulled out a piece of paper and his calygraphy pen and started writting a letter to his son. "Dear ryo, those Who fllow the path of a warrior..."
Chapter 3: A Chinese guarantee
Terry was starting to get impatient. Not only did he had to stay near such a dangerous man as logan as he had not heard anything about the guys he sent over to the hazuki house.
Logan was standing in the darkness with his hands behind his back, and his eyes closed waiting for the news. Smith was next to him.
A guy walked in the warehouse screaming: "terry, that fuck has beaten up our guys, they re lucky to be alive."
"What the hell are you talking about" said pedro getting up with his respectable size.
An ironical and sinister laugh was heard.
"What the fuck are you laughing of?" Terry asked.
"everything is going according to plan." Logan aswered.
"What? Did you knew this was gonna happen? Thatīs why you told me to send my boys?"
"of course, did you taught you could actually get someone like this man just like that?"
Terry was about to explode in rage, he wasnīt used to this kind of disrespet. He went into this with the best intenctions, and he had alredy been tricked, disrespected and now laughed to.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD, YOU THINK I AM AFRAID OF YOU?"
Logan didnīt aswered, he just started stepping forward on Terryīs direction.
Pedro got up and charged over logan.
He went for a straight punch, he usually defeated most of his oponents with a single punch, but this wasnīt just any oponennt, when he swang his arm, he felt like a meteor had just landed directly into his stomach, logan punched him roght on the sweet spot in the stomach, he had alredy killed a man with such a hit.
Pedro fell over to the floor inconscient.
Logan looked at the insconsious body of his oponent and then at Terry.
"Do i think youīre afraid of me?YOU STINK OF FEAR!, the only thing that keeps you standing toward me are you false ilusions, the dream world were you live where youīre the worldīs biggest boss", well i guess youī re pretty much awaken now."
Terry was completly petrified when logan walked towards him and put is head very close to his, looking deeply into his eyes, he felt like he was being hypnotised by a snake.
"I want you to meet someone" Logan said, close enough for Terry to smell his breath.
He snapped his fingers and a creature felt from the sky, a small hump, with small and few sharped teeth, with bandages in his arms and legs.
"This is chai", he said "He will keep you and your boys company"
"What the hell is this creepy skinhead, that ainīt human." Terry yelled.
"No, he is human allright. He is just what we like to call a chinese guarantee, that everything goes right as scheduled, he will make sure you donīt try anything stupid like going to the police or something.
Did you really tought i would just trust you? With the samples you gave me, i almost fell like calling all our businesses off, but i am not in charge, so just play nicely and you will have your reward just like planned, if you do not, chai here would be the last thing you see, not the best thing to be looking at when youīre dying, right?
Chai released one of his scary and insane laugs, and jumped his way out of the window he had entered.
"I guess that concludes our business here." Said the man in black suit aproaching Logan.
"Yes.
"Nice to meet you terry, you evrything goes right, youīll never see me again".
They both left the warehouse, it should have been around midnight by then.
When they stepped to the boat, chai was waiting for them.
"Remenber chai, you need to be on top of things here.
"yes logan sama." Said chai disapearing into the shadows of the night.
Chai was expecting this mission get him a better post inside the chi you men. He had also been particulary looking forward to this mission to be able to protect the person he most admired and dreamt of working for....
Logan and Smith got on the boat, smith turned the engine and the boat started sailing back to china.
"Everything according to plan, Logan - sama?
"Yes."
" Lan Di sama will be pleased..."
