As Issa had given the order he had everyone meet in the Headmaster's office. This was the designated place to go over the plan. The Headmaster himself wasn't anywhere to be seen as Lord Issa Shuzen sat at his desk to go over the details. 

"Ladies and gentleman we are already in phase one of this Monster Mafia I have heard so much about. We are going to be searching around and seeing if there is anything suspicious. Which I know there is. And I have bait involved. I have Gyokura and Kahlua at my castle front. Akua is camping in the underground arena on standby. All have radio communication. Which all is here and you will grab it if you don't have anything. Team A is Akasha, Tsukune, Ruby, and Mizore. You're going to take the bus and shuttle to the human world. Our radios won't be able to communicate with yours. That is where Headmaster is and he is calling the shots. Then Team B is Moka, (FN), Kokoa, Kurumu, and Yukari. The five of you behave yours. We need all of you by the tunnel for standby. With fight club arena, the school, the other realm, and my castle prone for monster enemies we cannot take chances. Everybody be on guard and be careful. And most of all communicate. I'll have a communicator as well as Akua, Kahlua, and Gyokura. Any questions?"

"You think they're in the monster world don't you." You asked.

"I do. But I've been wrong before. It's just as simple as that. Now to the tunnel and bus and wait for the signals."

I got a pregnant girlfriend and a wide spread out mission where all hands are on deck. This could go one of too ways. I'll just say this though. Touch Moka and you're getting slashed, bashed, and incinerated.

~~~~~

< I'm hiding in a locker like that snow friend of yours. > Akua must have been in the locker room.

< Doesn't it smell in there? > You ask her.

< Pretty sure it's a girl's locker Dragon. Smells of perfume. >

< Gotcha. Any updates? >

< Some dyke looking broad in a suit is in here with a few goons counting money and said there is a big payoff coming. But if that were the case of a fight the seats would be full. Right? >

< You make a great point. I wonder. >

< Don't burn it down now Hun. > That was Kahlua. Obviously Moka could hear her.

< Anyways!, > Angered Moka. < How long have they been down there? What's the full story? >

< I'm down here while they are counting money. I think they're going to split up. Which means Team A would watch them go to the human world and we track them at all ends. Not sure if there are students or not. Some look younger. >

The youngest here was Kokoa. So would it be right for to think they had students working in this organization? This mafia? Would it be right to think that something is fishy as to why one entry and exit way is in sight of Issa's castle? It all seems logical. Why not? 

So if you take Moka playing the sideline, we have even teams. Kurumu will help us out with questions. So it is four and four teams excluding the two sisters and Gyokura. Man this is just full of suspense. So stressful. I hope we all make it out of this and then I have to think about a nursery. After not thinking I would ever have little ones. Dragon Vampire babies. I just see Moka but with wings and a few scales. Basically who. Sheesh.

"You okay?" Asked Moka.

"I'll be fine. My main concern is you. Then getting this garbage resolved. The sooner the better. Not rushing, just want this to get settled."

Inside that arena locker room is a table set up. There are four people sitting around with goons surrounding them. Akua was right. This seemed to be a board meeting in a sketchy setting. How cliche bad guys are in an alleyway. So in theory, there has to be a way to divide them. The four people sitting down at the table, but what are the ranks? Is the woman in the suit a big shot? Is that male that she hits on the big cheese? It's just too early to tell. But it is clear that the guards or goons on the outsides of the table are just bodyguards playing neutral territory with a little muscle to back it up. 

< Father? You know anyone in an ugly brown suit? > Asked Akua.

< A few. Why? > Asked  Issa.

< Gray mustache and red eyes. > She answered.

< Wait... > His eyes grew big as you saw his facial expression. < Akua be very careful. I think I know who it is. >

"Wait. Brown suit?" Pondered Kurumu. "I saw a guy like that in the locker room. Does a Mr. Key sound familiar?" She asked Issa.

"Remi Key. Son of a bitch. After all this time." Grunted Issa.

"Sir?" You look over towards him. He looks furious. 

< Akua be careful down there. He is a powerful man. The strongest one in there. We need to watch where they come out of. Once they adjourn we can have at it. Until then do not approach them by yourself. It's too much. >

< Certainly Father.  >

Moka and Kokoa were confused. Perhaps the whole Shuzen family was too. Outside maybe Gyokura maybe. Issa knew who this man was. Could it be the reason why the entrance is by his castle? Is he taking precautions to make sure he knows the motives? Issa has a gameplan added to the current plan in motion. Though so far he hasn't spoken of it. Maybe he is trying to talk it out in his mind. So far everyone is on standby until further notice. And for how long was anyone's guess. 

< Key? > Pondered Gyokura. 

< Yeah. Remi Key. The rich mongol from years past? >

< He was at our wedding. Wasn't he? >

< Damn right he was. So what's his deal? >

< I don't know Dear but we have to wait for the signal. They outnumber us and I don't underestimate opponents and enemies in my proximity. If my allies are in arm's reach then I'm hugging the enemy. >

< Stay away from the Dyke. I'm you're wife and she can piss off. >

< Fair enough. >

The meeting going on was interesting. The dyke as everyone was referring to had the floor for a moment. "For the fifth time boss man there is plenty of opportunity it's just that we can't make it hot. You didn't think that anyone has been onto us for a while? Something? We're trying to run a racket and it's starting to become a hot mess. More kids are coming and it's getting in the way. These kids aren't gambling. They'll buy whores before they go gambling. Come on."

"Calm down Zala." Said the man in the suit.

"Work with me Mr. Key. It's fucking up the program. You want cash? Want this operation running? Let's cut the crap and quit inviting the wannabe adults. Get some fighters in here like a Vampire."

"Funny you say that Zala, I had my eyes on some vampires to fight. It would be interesting. Except here's the thing. They would have to be paid handsomely. That is what we have to work on. I'm afraid it would come out big from our profit. But still researching before it goes in development."

Issa was angry. "If he refers to my family I swear on everything he's dead by my hands."

Issa fighting? Ohhh. I can't wait.
