The day of the reunion.

Many weird people gathered in the Roadlight Center, but that was what they expected. Weeaboos from different parts of San Bernardino arrived, to see what they wanted. The building was small and had enough chairs for approximately 110 people, no more than that. But the chairs were removed to give place to the anime stacks. The reason, the sellers were bribed.

Meanwhile, Munetaka and Akinobu were at the center's yard, waiting. They both were wearing formal suits without ties for the occasion. Before the event, Akinobu called his goons from the Little Tokyo District, as well as from Japantown. He was doing errands in said areas before Munetaka was born, because his clan sent him. Munetaka said,

"What we have to do here? The people over there will get bored!"

"Have patience, Munetaka," Akinobu said, "They will come," he added.

"'They'?" Munetaka was intrigued. "Don't tell me you called your Yakuza goons," he added.

"They will not kill the army we're gathering, because I ordered them so." He looked at the road, then grinned. "Instead..." 

A round of vehicles was arriving. The people in there were men, clothed from head to toe. All of them were Japanese, carrying plenty of weapons and ammunition in boxes.

"We'll give them weapons, and teach them how to use them," Akinobu said. 

Then the men got off their vehicles in the parking lot and greeted him in Japanese as soon as they saw him. Then one of the men, noticed Munetaka and asked him:

"Who are you and what are you doing here, you stranger?"

"Stop, Sakamoto," another man scolded. "He is the boss Hayakawa's son."

Sakamoto stopped, but he glared at Munetaka afterwards. Munetaka walked to the group and asked:

"How do you know who I am?" 

"Akinobu told us about you. He said you were about to gather an army to destroy this country, so we decided to join and give weapons," the man said. "By the way, my name is Akio, but they call me Nakamura." he added.

"Don't worry if you don't know the others now. But you will know them gradually," Akinobu said. "Now to the battle," he added.

Munetaka went back to the center. It was still crowded due to the insistent need for waiting, until Munetaka appeared over the podium while pretending a friendly appearance. Then he began his speech at the microphone:

"1, 2, testing... Testing..."

The weebs stopped making noise after Munetaka yelled them to stop.

"Good night to you all," he said in Japanese, at the mic. "If you wondered, yes, I am Japanese, arigatou," he added.

The weebs cheered loudly. Munetaka yelled at them to stop again, this time in Japanese. Then he continued,

"And, I assume you too. But those Americans don't, do they?"

The weeaboos responded with a massive "No!"

"Well, I do recognize you as Japanese, and is time for those stupid, bakana Americans to do the same too," Munetaka said with blazing passion, And added,

"And let's not forget the anime. Do you ever felt marginalized because of anime? Did you ever wish to shut up the people who hate it? Are you ever tired of your passion or country being insulted in the name of America?" All the weebs shouted yes at the questions.

"Then look no further. Because you will have the power and the weapons to shut them up! Who's with me?" said Munetaka.

The weebs cheered louder than before, it was about to freak the neighbors out. After they stopped, Munetaka turned to his side and whispered to the guys, that ran towards him. Akio, who was the second in command, took the microphone and said,

"This is your chance. If you want to accomplish your dream of seeing those baka Americans die, join us. Will you do?"

Many of those weebs cheered again while some left or fell asleep. Then Akio continued,

"Then we will train you for this moment. You will be given weapons, and training to use them against those Americans! Let's go!"

Then Munetaka took the mic and said, 
"The weapons we will give you are only to kill the enemy, and under no circumstance you should use them to kill yourselves or each other of you, understood?"

The weebs heeded it. And stayed near the Roadlight Center. The next day, they woke up and saw Munetaka, saying:

"This day we will train you to shut up those baka, and ruin their American world."

The training started. They were first taught to use handguns, and they either missed the shots or having them jammed. As one month and a half passed, they were trained ardously while having as their main objective being called a "child of Nippon". To this day, some knew how to use weapons, while others went for assault weapons that only appear in black markets. Then Munetaka said:

"Now that you have mastered the weapons, we will start a shooting to show those baka who's boss!"

The weebs cheered. But Akinobu and his underlings were afraid of that, because of the riot police and the police in general. So he took Munetaka and whispered,

"This is a very risky tactic, Munetaka. The riot police will go and deter us in there. We are warriors, not rioters."

"Then what should we do?" Munetaka whispered in response.

Akinobu smiled creepily, meaning that he had a plan. Then he walked away to the center. Minutes later, he returned with a match and a gas cylinder of those used to fuel kitchens.

Munetaka got speechless.

"Boss, what we will do with that cylinder?" Sakamoto asked.

"We will use it as a weapon." Akinobu holded it. "As these things are flammable, we can shoot them to kill anyone in their houses without them even noticing," he added.

"That's a good idea, Mr. Hayakawa. Let's just hope it works," Akio said.

"Then riot will be disregarded." Munetaka sighed, and said on mic:

"Guys and gals! We will not riot."

The weebs groaned.

"We will use gas supplies to set the city on fire! Tonight!"

The weebs cheered again, about to commit a big mistake.
