(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dwDQFNEkns&index=99&list=PLYNBny7IRlVkbiSVlrNHnbXbgZBIdU3Pl) Connor would be at the shack...masterbating. Kodi had gone missing again for he love of Christ and wasn't answering her phone. Connor had just finished and signed. "How am I supposed to be faithful when the only ass I want is always gone." Conot would stand up walking to the bathroom and hoping in the shower and start washing himself off. "Make it even worse, the warwent for her arrest is constantly growing day by day....hmm. she's going to be my downfall if she doesn't straighten up." Connor stopped out in his nude glory and straddled to the dojo mat in the living room and dropped down preforming his usual series of work outs. the shoolder roll, the leg stretches and two arm, one arm, and one finger push ups. about an hour and a half later,   he'd stand up and let out a low sigh. taking a stance similar to a street fighter character he'd spread his legs apart and bend them at the knee lowering his stance. he'd tuck his right arm by his right side and let it jutt outwards while tucking his left arm by his left side and letting it rest in its natural forward direction. Connor would stand on his tip toes and begin focusing his on I chi into his body. the power shifting and making his veins appear as the black wind would swirl around his body calmly. Connor had learned to use this on a smaller scale since the only place he practiced was inside of his own house to boot. so much so the wind swirled around the room interacting with objects alike and stirring nothing. Connor would furrow his brow as he'd compress the wind into 3 small swirls around himself. the swirls moved at a constant speed. Connor would open the palm of his right hand and let the three swirls attract to his right hand an engulf them on miniature tornado that wraps around his forearm appearing as a black spinning bangle almost. Connor would sigh as he'd release it and the wind would disperse through the house rattling things a bit and he'd have a burn on his wrist. " Ahhh I guess there's nothing I can do to counter that saddly huh." "Not until you kille and even then your body must mature into it. its not something   that'll just go away no matter how much you practice." Connor would sigh. "Well until then I'll at least get the feeling of it. even if it is just onnce a day manipulation. " Connor would get a call on his cellphone and answer. "Kaicho speaking?" "Hey! its josh! woooo wee! we've hit the mother load of finds!" "Whatcha   got for me?" Connor asked as he began to slip she blue jeans on with a black blazer, black and white converses with a blue undershirt. "Weapons! we just came up on a were house whichy PDA scannend to have a mass of gun and ammunition inside of it! I'm talking crates! the place is vacant to! used to be long to aaa-Jason Caldwell?" Connor rubbed his chin. "I think I heardmy grampz mentioned more than once....yeah. I think so." "Well that's the good news. the bad news is that its heavily password encrypted and gross off of rectnal scanning. we can't get in for shit but we'll keep trying." Connor stepped out of the house and popped his neck from side to side. "Keep it up. if I have to I'll pay my grandad to do it for us. if we get the guns though we're selling the majority of them and keeping the bare minimum. I refuse to deal arms in our community. However the rare goodies we secure we'll keep for ourselves. I'm not building a military but pepole with think twice about fucking with us " "Not a problem Kaicho! you heard the man! I don't care how many rounds the gattling gun shoots per second! you get in there damn you!" the phone would click and Connor would hang hisnoen phone up. partting his back pocket, with the downtime he's had he'd gotten josh taken his drivers test for him acquiring a licence and a fake ID for him and kodi so they could buy booze and whatnot. Connotr also got his crew to look for a   car, but they were still working on that one. Connor walked out with an oldie but goodie: a hover board. he'd throw it on the ground and hop on, adjusting his foot and riding it down the street leisurely heading towards the bar where he'd firsteg butch, the guy he'd saved one time from the Tanks.

Chance Encounter
Connor made a corner turn cutting through an ally way before suddenly he'd her an odd feeling...he'd turun around and be staring   razor disc right in the face. his three second counter kicked in and Connors foot would pus on the back of the board causing his body to flip up and backwards over the trajectirybof the disc path! sending it straight into the wall And 'boom!' a brief explosion emitted as Connor turned the board to stop hhimself. he'd look around to see who there it as he'd strap the board around his back and look. "I've seen that type of disc to many times to not know where it came from. " Connor would turn around and see his old murder turned vigilante brother, Leon. "Leon. that's one he of a way to say hey dontcha think?....still out to kill me?" Leon stood in his black trench coat, his hands in his pockets and his straw samurai hat lowered casting a shadow over his eyes. "Believe it or not no. I honestly just don't know any other way to say hey to you at this point. believe it or not, I'm actually here because I need some help." Connor raised   brow. "Help? from me? your looking on the wrong side of the law aren't you?" Leon chuckled without smiling. "Perhaps I am but I've been doing my homework on the yakuza. Fire Flower Syndicate right? branches and what not?" Connor folded his arms. "As always you anaylize things to much. Whats the issue maybe I can lend a hand." Leon nodded. "I recently stopped a blue demon like fellow with the help of web strider. problem is that when I arrived there were men in suits. exclusive to one of the branches ...they ball wore gaskmask. a trait of the Inugami clan." Connor's interest peaked. "Now why...would the Inugami clan help a supervillain?" "I was hoping yoI'd have the answer. that goes against the Jingi if I'm not mistaken. none the less that's where I need your help. confront them and see if you can find out what's going on behind the curtain. Once you do let me know and I'll take care of it." Connor shook hid head. "No. This is a Yakuza thing. I'll take care of the Inugami clan. if anything they'll fuck up the syndicates r3p if they get caught. you just get the super powered baddie who's even using Yakuza in the first place." Leon turned his back to Connor. "Thanks...hey Connor." "I know what your gonna say. You don't have to. I already forgave you. If you wanna make it up to me though...find a women named Kodi Torabassu for me. Find and secure here before the authorities do. Tasanagi included..fair warning. she may or may not try to fight you." Leon nodded. "I'll get it done. If she can hold out tI'll the number of villains die down I'll find her." Leons body disappeared in a flicker of blue lightning. Connor threw his hover board back down to the ground and began riding rIding back toward the bar.

Being Real About The Situation
Arriving no less than five minutes before hand, Connor would step off of the hoverboard, strpaing it to his back again and cracking his neck from side to side, rolling his shoulders along with it. He’d step inside of the bar, opening the double doors and letting them swing open as he’d step in side slowly and casually. Looking around it was something straight out of a movie to be honest…grown as gruff and buff men sitting around looking at each other, an feeling up young and probably underaged biker women and some elderly biker women who were indeed smashible but not exactly the ones you’d brag about having sex with. This was home and one of the main bars owned under the gang known as the Tanks. Theres no special reason for this assortment of arogant men. They're men who feel as though they dominate the world and can take what they want. A bunch of guys got to gether and figured they could just take what they want with enough force. Suprisingly this gang of neianderthals grew, as more and more men became infactuated with living the life of a wild man. Roaming the land on motorcycles and breaking shit for the fun of it all. No purpose. No real meaning of life. Just doing it, to do it. Connor stepped inside, being ignored of course, until he’d clear his throat a few times. “Excuse me, good ladies and gentlemen and transgenders whom I’m certain there are plenty of around here. I know this Is a pretty odd time, but I’m looking for the leader of the Tanks. I’ve done my research and I’m aware this is a primary hangout spot for the boss?” the tanks would all laugh in unison. A couple of them lifting weights in the corner and snickering. The weight lifters would start to stand up, with cocky smirks on their faces. Connor would furrow his brow and roll his eyes. “heh heh heh…look here k-“ “No YOU look here.” Connor would interrupt. “Now I’d love for this to be the cliché scenario where lets say one of you comes up to me right?” Connor making hand motions to show his expressions. ‘Okay so lets say the weight lifting meathead came up to me. He’s gonna attack me, I’m gonna dodge, boom, gut hit. Falls to his knees. Then his buddies are gonna get all gruff and tuff and get up approaching me, boom, boom, one kick to the temple the other to the base of the chin, knock them out. Then the whole bar wants a piece, you get upp, come at me by the twos and threes, and “ Connor would start punching the air, before throwing a final punch and holding it outwards. “I will literally own everyone in less than 15 punches. SO.” Connor would clap his hands together. “after that the boss will come out   here, wanting to know “what’s going on” and thers gonna be a pile of bodies on the floor! Because I wrecked shop on ALL of your punk asses. We can literally LTIEALLY. SKIP. That step. And you just get your boss out here and we’ll be fine. I mean tch. Did you NOT watch the GMAF’S?!?! I’m connor FUCKING Ryoji?!? I fought   a GOD DAMN YUN, and THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS. Are fucking INHUMAN. “ the tanks looked around for a second. “Do you get it now?!?!? I’ll own ALL of you!” The tanks only got mader as they growled and glared at connor. Connor shook his head and sighed, sitting down on the floor. Crossing his legs indian style and placing his hands on his lap. “fine then.” The first tank shouted. “WE DON’T CARE ABOUT SOME IGNORANT P-“ Connor would head butt the man’s knee cap, bending the leg into a literal “L” shape and causing the tank to fall to the ground screaming in pain holding his leg for dear life. Connor’s head was bleeding. “I know you guys have enhanced strength, which means logically your muscles and bones are much denser than the norm. however, I am much more than just strength. You don’t have the stones to beat me…” the bar got quiet for a moment as a man would step from a door in the back of the bar.

Old Faces
“Do I hear someone cry-…Connor?” Connor would look up and smile, standing up and brushing his forehead off. “Butch! Haha! You’re still around! “ (butch is the man who gave connor a ride to school during the first semeseter. http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Ark_16_Episode_16:_Welcome_to_Kasaiahana_High! ) Butch would walk over to connor shaking his hand and nodding. “Glad to see you alive and kicking. You drink? You guys get this man a drink!” Connor would shake his hand. “No thanks butch, really thank you, but I’m okay. I actually came to ask if you’d like to work for me. I have my own Yakuza just like I told you about. The Shinpaku Federation. I’ve gotta get at least 50 men under my belt, and the tanks are pretty huge in number I’m not gonna lie to you. I came to ask in person if you’d like to be apart of something bigger. No drugs, no illegal stuff. I’m trying to make a better community, like the original yakuza were supposed to do, but I’ll need muscle power to do it. and you guys are pure muscle.” Butch would palce a hand and rub his chin contemplating it. “Well…I’m game. But I can’t just give it to you off the bat. I have to initiate you like I did the other guys…knife heel death match.” Connor would sigh. “You sure man? I’m gonna win.” “Oh I don’t know kid. I’m not exactly the same guy you met a while ago. I’ve actually gotten to the point were I’m about twice as strong as one of the normal guys.” Connor laughed a bit. “alright alright. I’ll take your challenge.” Butch would nod and then look at a bystander. “Set it up.”

Test of Worth!
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhWx8DLh63k&index=171&list=PLYNBny7IRlVkbiSVlrNHnbXbgZBIdU3Pl&shuffle=1172 ) Two knives were placed into the ground, about a few feet apart form one another. Connor would step into the center of them, taking off his jacket and his blazer. Butch would do the same removing his top clothing as well until both of the men were shirtless. Connor would stretch his muscles out a bit with some common stretches he did and butch would do the same. “Rules are simple kid. Place your right heel back and on the blade of the knife. Don’t push in, just let it rest there. “ Connor did as told. Butch did as well. “There we go. Believe it or not tanks have honor and this is a true test of a man’s worth. We box now. No tricks, not chi. Just straight drag out boxing. Sound good?” “Sound good? Are you kidding? I love a good scrap! Let’s get this shin dig on the road! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEqi52g__HM&index=162&list=PLYNBny7IRlVkbiSVlrNHnbXbgZBIdU3Pl&shuffle=1172 ) “GOOD!” butch would throw his punch dead into connor’s jaw! Connor’s body whipped to the side like a piece of paper! “Guh!” connor had already had first blood drawn from him! butch wasn’t kidding…his strength was indeed beyond enhanced. More like low grade supernatural…but Connor a few nights ago had taken a kick from wade, that was stronger than anything he’d ever felt…compared to that..butches hits hurt, but they weren’t as bad as they could’ve been! Connor retailiated and started deilevering his own one-two combo piece! A left and a right haymaker, thrown in rapid sucesssion one after another! Hitting butches jaw, but seemingly to no effect! Connor would dodge an oncoming hook punch with a forward weave and stick butch in the kidney and again under the armpit! It seemingly did no effect, as butch would grab connor by the head and headbutt him dead on! Connor’s head whipped back, but! Connor reltailiated in his own way! Gripping butches arm and ramming his head back into butches but repeatedly! Connor threw about 5 headbutts to butches skull before throwing a right hook, a left hook, and an uppercut! Butch took them but came down with a double axe handle to the back of Connor’s skull! The two went at it! the tanks and girls in the bar watched as if it was more like   a display of pride rather than just a boxing match!



Drink To Partnership
the drinks rattled and everyone looked in anticipation, and also looked at Connor with wide eyes. Connor smirked and flicked his nose. “God..damn you hit hard..” Connor would reach into the back of his mouth and pull out a lose molar and toss it to the ground. He had bruises on the bottom of his chin and the left side of his face. Butch stood up running his hands threw his blue Mohawk. “Gee WIZ. You hit like one of us!” Connor would rub his head and smile. “Alots changed. But I hope I’ve proven that I’m worth. Its not an empty job offer. You’ll get 35% percent. And everytime we come into big bucks over 5 grand, you’ll get 3 out of that.” Butch raised his eyebrows. “You make that much?” Connor shook his head. “Nope. But money isn’t my main priority. My goal is to get members behind me. This bar, and any others you own in the immediate district 1 area, make sure you let those neighborhoods know they’re under your protection. No more illegal substances. Take care of the kids and the needy. And make sure no one gets wronged. I want to make the community a better place for the people, not those damned government officials. “ The tanks nodded liking what they were hearing. “Can you commit?” one of them asked. Connor would walk up to the bar, taking a bottle of vodka and popping the cork off with his teeth. As he begun to chug the tanks would egg him on cheering and once connor was done he’d smash the bottle on his head and the tanks roared and cheered him on! “Damn right I can. “ Connor would pull out his wallet and lay 3 grand on the table. “that’s the starter. More will come. Now then I’ve gotta be off. Got some investigation to do…on another corrupt branch. If you see any guys in gask mask, let me know when and were alright?” butch raised his glass to Connor. “Will do Kaicho. Will do. “ Connor would walk out of the bar high fiving and shaking some of their hands before putting his shirt back on leaving it unbuttoned of course and taking off on his hover board. There was the pending investigation to see just what the hell the Inugami clan has even been up to…connor had to meet and greet the other guys at some point right?”
