The class had made it to the 5th floor of the building and had managed to get past one of the mastermind's goons, but Mr. K. got poisoned and was out of commission. Now they were facing up against another one of the mastermind's goons. And one that could smash glass just by gripping it.
'Our in filtration of the Fumaka Denjo hotel was underway. We're closing in on the antidote, hopefully. Time is running out and unless we can make it to the top floor in time, our classmates might die. My friends will die. And I won't let that happen.'
"I was hoping for a worthy adversary but all I got was you. You don't know what a pain it is to kill a group, hun" said the man as he pulled out a walkie talkie and said "I'm calling the boss to come clean this whole mess up" which made everyone worry that things were going to get worse for them. He was going to call the boss and the antidote was going to be gone.
BAM
Before the man could even use it, it was smashed aside but a small palm tree in a pot, courtesy of Karma, smashing it against the glass.
"Speaking of let downs, you seem fairly average for a pro, if you ask me. And is breaking glass suppose to be intimidating cause I can do that?" said Karma as he lowered the tree.
"What I wouldn't do, is call in reinforcements as an opening move. But then again, I'm not intimidated by a bunch of amateurs" said Karma in his carefree attitude, making the class gasp in shock at his bold statement.
The man just scoffed as he said "Ok, hun. Put your money where your mouth is" as he took off his jacket and began working his fingers to get ready to fight.
"If you insist" said Karma in a carefree way.
"Go at him with everything you've got, Karma. You're going head to head with an adult" said Korosensei as Karma just stared at him, without a care in the world.
'We were still on a time crunch but there was no way around this man. I just hope Karma can stop him without dying. Good luck man.'

EDventure #23 — "Mission: EDpossible part 2
Karma and Grip kept staring at each other with anticipation, like mortal enemies. They knew that the battle would only end with one of them being out of commission, which the whole class hoped it would be Karma to win, because if he didn't, they didn't know who else, besides Karasuma, that could beat him.
In a quick moment, Karma used the tree that he used earlier to try and land a blow on Grip's head but he just caught it in his right palm, with no reaction whatsoever.
"Nice try kid, but as far as weapons go, hun, I would've gone with harder" said Grip as he clenched his fist hard and managed to snap the tree in half with just his hand.
'Talk about overbearing grip strength.'
Karma just stepped back and said "I guess I'll have to do without" as he let go of the tree and let it fall to the floor as it clunked on the ground.
While that happened, Grip lunged forward and tried getting Karma in his grip at lighting speed, but due to Karma's own abilities and what he's learned from Karasuma, he was able to dodge his attacks with his own speed as well.
"This guys grip could crush a guys skull like an egg. If he gets his mitts on me, its game over. The odds defiantly don't seem to be in my favor. Nothing unusual about that. But then again, this is just like any other game. Just like school" thought Karma as the man kept swiping his hands at Karma while he kept dodging him.
The class kept watching the fight in awe at Karma managing to dodge all of his attacks, while several of them saying "oohs" and "aahs."
"Wow. He's blocking like an expert" said Kayano in amazement.
"Those are your defensive moves are they not, Karasuma" asked Korosensei as he watched the fight.
Karasuma knew that they were and kept thinking back to his training.
"For assassins, self defense doesn't often come into play. I don't recall teaching him any of this. Theres no denying it. These are moves I've used against them in training. Damned impressive, this kids a natural born fighter. A cut above his pears, even in a classrooms of assassins" thought Karasuma as the fight continued on.
"I can dodge him all day, but if I move in for a hit, he's going to grab me" thought Karma as he kept blocking the man's attacks. Or in this case, hands.
The man then came to a stop as he stepped back one step and asked "What's the problem? Evasive maneuvers aren't going to win this. You have to attack to win" as he stared at Karma.
Karma just kept his smirk as he said "Oh, you don't say. And what if i'm just trying to keep you occupied? I mean, my buddies are trying to get by, so maybe I'm just being clever" said Karma as he pointed behind himself, at his classmates.
But then Karma faced Grip again as he said "Oh relax. I'm pretty underhanded on the best of days but this is one fight I want to win fair and square" as he cracked his knuckles and then began jumping back and forth in a bizarre way as he said "No tricks, no cheating, no holding out. Just you and me. Now. Like men."
"This isn't a game of hopscotch, Karma. Just take the man down so we can get going. Time is running out" said Eric in a serious way.
"I know that. Don't get your panties in a twist. I'll have this done and over with soon" said Karma as he kept his gaze on his opponent.
"Like I said, this is one battle I want to win so let's go" said Karma as he held his fists up.
The man just gave a grin as he said "Be my guest, hun. I like the cut of your jib. Now this is what I've been talking about. Two equals. Mono e Mono. A real battle to the death, hun" as he clenched his hands.
Karma then lunged froward and began attacking the man with a few jabs and kicks to his body. The man was able to block his attacks and kept following everywhere he went. Karma then managed to land a kick to his leg and that seemed to be trick as Grip then grabbed his knee and then fell on his other knee while clenching his sore leg.
Karma saw this in an instant and then smirked as he thought "There's my opening" and then began to charge at the man and was about to attack him...
........but he was met with a spray of gas to the face.
This took him by surprise as he was caught in the gas attack and then fainted and began to fall to the floor. Just as he fell to the ground, the man grabbed his hair as he said "Say good night, you little punk."
The man then let go of something in his hand and it was one of those gas cans the gas attacker used early.
This made the whole class gasp in shock at what happened to Karma.
'Crap, he got gassed. Just like Karasuma. This was bad.'
"Sorry kid, you're underhanded on the best of days. I'm underhanded like every day" said Grip as he kept clenching Karma's hair.
The class stopped their gasps and then gave the man glares at what he had just done.
"You son of a bitch. He wanted to fight you like a man and this is how you respond" yelled Yoshida in anger.
The man scoffed as he said "Oh, come on. This isn't the place for that kid so get over it, hun" as he then grabbed Karma's face as he lifted him up into the air.
"You can't get hung up on ethics. I'm an assassin. It's based on reward folks who plays by the rules. Hun, if you have a canister of gas, use it. If he was all that he would've done the same...." said the man but he was stopped by the same gas spray he used on Karma by Karma himself.
The man began to stutter as gas leaked out of his mouth as he groaned saying "You....how..." as he then began to fall to the floor at the effects of the gas. He then looked at Karma and saw that he had a napkin covering his face.
"Guess great minds think alike. Now what was it you were saying about how I'm all that" teased Karma as he did his normal looking down at his opponent glare.
"How.....did you not breath it in. I......sprayed you at point blank range. You should be paralyzed, hun" mumbled the man as he then reached into his reached into his shirt and pulled out a knife.
He lunged at Karma in attack but Karma managed to dodge his attacks and grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground while pining his arm behind his back.
Karma then looked at Terasaka and yelled "Come on Terasaka. What are you waiting for? I'm going to need duct tape and every free hand we have to take this man down."
Terasaka was still surprised at Karma's attack as he said "Yea, alright fine. You've been yanking this creeps chain this whole time" as the boys began running towards them and began pinning the guy down.
Eric grabbed the mans the arm as he chuckled while saying "Heh. With all you've done, fair fight my ass" as Sugaya began using the tape to hold the man's arms together.
Karasuma watched the kids begin to tape the man's arms and legs as he said "Stay on guard while you're taping him. He's incapacitated but he still might be strong enough to spring back before too long."
"Yes, sir" said the boys.
0000000000000000000000
The boys finally managed to tape the man together and were now catching their breath from trying not to get caught in his grip.
Eric then picked up the canister that the man used and was surprised to see Karma had another one with as he looked over and saw him tossing it around.
"Pretty handy huh. Took it from that smog weirdo. Sad its a one time usage" said Karma as he kept messing with the canister.
The man grunted as he said "How did you see it coming? You must've held your breath when I sprayed you. How did you know to do that when my hands were empty? No way you could've told I didn't have anything on me" as he struggled in his binds.
Karma just kept this smile as he said "That's the whole point. With you, I was on guard with everything but bare hands" as the man just growled at what he said.
"As far as I know, you probably were looking for an honest fight but you're also on some one else's payroll so you don't get to choose. You'd have to stop us by any means necessary. I would've done the exact same thing in your shoes. In a way, my mistrust was a compliment" said Karma as he kneeled down to the man.
The class had smiled at him at how he managed to stay on guard and win the fight.
Yada stood next to Eric as she said "Wow he's really good."
Eric looked at the canister he had and then back at Karma as he shield
'Yes he is and he's changed for the better.'
"The anguish of defeat had never darkened Karma's door" said Korosensei making some fo the students look at him.
"Finals provided our cocky comrade a much needed reality check. Failure humanized the perspective of his former foes he suddenly found himself among their number. His picture of the world altered drastically, leaving him with a healthy respect for those around him. He was able to foresee his adversary's moves because he didn't underestimate his abilities. Something he only learned through his previous failure. We must see our opponent not as an obstacle but as a person. Toiling in the shadow of defeat, we taste true victory" said Korosensei happily as Eric smiled and looked at Karma with admiration.
"It is a pleasure to see you take this lesson to heart Karma. I'm very excited about what your future holds in store" said Korosensei in pride and admiration as well.
Grip gave a small smile and chuckle as he said "Hun, hats off to you. You're nothing to sneeze at. I may be beaten but it was a pleasure to know that..."
"Oh we're not done yet" interrupted Karma as his glare soon changed to his blank face.
This confused the man as he said "huh?"
"No I'm just getting started" said Karma as he reached into his pockets and pulled out...........
........hot mustard and wasabi??
The man just grew a blank face as he said "Huh. What in the hell are those suppose to be?"
"Mustard and wasabi. You never know when you're going to need them to shove up a nose" said Karma nonchalantly.
"You're what?!!" exclaimed the man while the rest of the class grew faces of awareness, scared, and nervousness at what Karma just said.
Karma then took his backpack and began fishing for some tools he had in them.
"Part of keeping my guard up meant I had to play nice. But, hey, since we have you all bound up an everything, I can let loose" said Karma as he began putting something around the man's face.
Eric saw that this wasn't going to be pretty, so he turned to Yada and covered her eyes as he said "Don't look, Yada. This isn't looking pretty" as he watched the disturbing scene before him.
Yada didn't complain as she too didn't want to see what was going to happen. But the feeling of having his hand touch her face like that, made her give a slight blush.
The man began to squirm around at what he was doing as Karma said "You'll want to keep still or that special clip will rip your nostrils off. Now lets see, we've got your jalapeños, your hatch chilis, your ghost peppers. Those are a kick in the balls right. Oh and a pinch of garlic for heart health" informed Karma as he held up a tube of mustard and looked at the man, who now had some kind of clip, holding both his nostrils and mouth back, giving him a wide opening to Karma's attack.
"Well, hun. What do you think? Show us that samurai will power" said Karma deviously as he then shoved the mustard right up his right nostril and began squirting it in. The man exclaimed in uncomfortableness and disgust at the feeling.
While all of this was going on, the class had no words to describe the disturbance and insanity that they were watching. Well, everyone but Yada.
Eric just grew a nervous expression as he looked towards Korosensei, then took him from Nagisa with his free hand and said "What was that about you being excited about his future?" as he then turned Korosensei to face Karma, who was still tormenting the guy, as he continued saying "You said you were excited about him doing something great in the future. Well, you seemed to be forgetting. Karma's is still a sadist" as his scrunched up in uncomfortableness at the scene as he kept his eyes covering Yada's eyes.
Korosensei, too, had a nervous face as he said "Well, at first I did, but now. I'm very concerned about what his future holds in store."
Terasaka just looked inside Karma's bag and asked "Who walks around with this stuff in their bag?!! Ugh" as he put Karma's stuff in his bag.
Eric had had enough of Karma's antics and took his hand off of Yada's face as he began walking away from the class saying "Can we keep moving, please. Some one will spot us."
"Cause you stick out like a sore thumb" teased Karma but he was met with a punch to the head, courtesy of Yada.
"Not funny, Karma. You know he doesn't like to be made fun of like that" exclaimed Yada at Karma.
Karma rubbed his sore spot as he said "Alright. Alright. I'm sorry" as he gathered his stuff and the rest of the class began to follow Eric with Yada right behind him.
0000000000000000000000
The class made it to the stairs going to the next floor as Eric then heard a jingle and looked at his phone, with Ritsu appearing on it.
"Attention, everyone. The terrace us just up these stairs" said Ritsu as she gestured to a door they saw ahead of them.
"Might be tricky, this is the club floor" said Hayami, looking at his phone.
"Correct. The executive floor can be accessed via the stair case just off the lounge area. Unfortunately, the back entrance has a manual lock on it so we'll need to detour around them through the bar to open it and let the others in" informed Ritsu as she showed the plan on everyones phone.
"So we're flying by the seat of our pants?" said Meg in question.
"A bar is the last place we belong in" said Isogai to Karasuma but his words were then interpreted by Meg saying, "Korosensei and Mr K., you hide here. Leave the tricky part to those best qualified. We'll unlock the door to the VIP stairs. You fellas might be out of your debt in the club but us girl will be just fine" as some of girls nodded at her words.
"Yea we will" said Fuwa.
Eric didn't like the idea of the girls going into a bar as he stepped up and said "No way. I'm sorry but there are too many things that could go wrong. This is a bar place so there probably scumbags in there that might just stare at your bodies and I am not having that happen to you girls" trying to reason with their decision.
Yada then stepped up to him and placed her hands on his shoulders as she said "Don't worry, Eric. We're assassins. We can handle a few oglers. We can do this. Its sweet of you to be concerned about us but have more faith in us. We've got this" finished Yada in a sincere way.
Yada smiled at Eric as she then said "You said that you didn't want anyone to die today and we can promise you that we don't want that either so we'll be quick. No sight seeing, nothing. Just straight the stairs while acting normal" finished Yada, trying to reason with Eric.
Eric sighed in thought as he knew she was right but was still scared at the thought of something not just happening to Yada but also to the girls while they went through the club. He knew how boys act around girls, like Okajima and Maehara, so he was still worried about letting them go on their own.
"No Eric's right. It wouldn't be right just to send all of the girls in. We at least need one guy looking after you, just to keep an eye on you and make sure things don't go south" informed Karasuma.
Karma then slapped his fist on his hand and said "Oh, well. Plan B" as he looked at Nagisa. Then the whole class
'I wondered what exactly Karma meant by plan B. Only did I later know, it was a shocking thing but also not unexpected. In a sense.'
0000000000000000000000
Rave music could be heard in the club as many people with mingling, talking, or making out as everyone was having fun as the night grew dim.
The girls had managed to get through the doors and walked past some sliding doors and began making their way through the crowds as the music kept playing.
The girls then stopped as they saw one of their members was falling behind.
"Oh, be a man already. You're hear to protect us, not use us as a shield. Get in front" said Fuwa as she looked behind herself.
"I can't dont make me do this" complained a voice hiding away from sight.
"Stop it" said Hayami to Nagisa.
"You look fabulous" said Fuwa as she grabbed Nagisa's hand and pulled him up front, showing him wearing a girls uniform, which consisted of black shirt, that showed his shoulders, a plaid looking skirt, a black choker, black leggings, and black shoes. Even pink ribbons tied up in his hair.
'Yep. Plan B was dressing Nagisa up like a girl and making him follow the girls to protect them if need be. I mean I know I said "Ma'am" the first time we met a few months ago but this is humiliating to the man.'
"That's right. This is my life" complained Nagisa in embarrassment, while he secretly was gaining attention to someone in the club.
"Quit whining. You're deep under cover. We talked about this. You want to arouse suspicion this way" said Meg in a hushed voice.
"Do you have to say arouse" complained Nagisa at Meg's comment.
"Relax, its all part of the plan" said Fuwa.
"It is?" asked Nagisa in question.
"You look stunning" complimented Ritsu.
"No I do not" exclaimed Nagisa in emebrasmsent
"Hmm, don't be so causal. Target out" said Hayami in a nonchalant way.
"Whoa wait. What are you, my pimp all of a sudden. Where'd this outfit come from anyway" exclaimed Nagisa as they continued on.
"Next to the pool. Consider it an anonymous donation" said Hayami in a way like she didn't care about stealing someone's clothes.
"Come on guys, stop teasing Nagisa. We have to get to the doors now" said Yada in serious/ hushed tone.
"Yea, we know but we can't help it. He looks adorable" said Kayano in a cheeky way.
"Stop it" exclaimed Nagisa in a quiet voice as they began to go through the crowds, all while a stranger seemed to have his eyes glued to Nagisa.
"Hottie alert. First time I've seen here in the club scene" said the man as he left his drink and cigarette behind.
"This place is disgusting. Lets unlock the door before some tool tries to hit on us" teased Fuwa.
"Don't even. You're milking this moment for all its worth" complained Nagisa but then he was stopped by someone grabbing his shoulder.
"Yo" said the man behind them, making Nagisa and the girls face him.
The man had a drunk state as he was blushing red as he was slurring his words as he said "How are you doing, shorty. Papa wants to buy you a drink anything you want" as he began pointing his finger to a table, while the girls just gave him looks that said both "Are you serious" and "Ugh. This guy disgusts me", as the man finished saying "My treat for reals."
Meg then pushed on Nagisa's shoulder as she said "Go on Nagisa. Don't be an ice queen."
Nagisa grew a nervous face as complained saying "What. I thought we had a deal?!!" as he looked at her with a scared sort of face.
Meg then leaned into his ear as she whispered "The deal is we act natural. Now get in there. We'll swing back around for you" as she then backed away from him.
Nagisa just grew an anime sad face with tears falling down as he said "Waaa. How did my life get to this place" as the man began leading Nagisa to a table.
"Nagisa's a really cute name for a girl" said the man as he walked away.
'If only that kid knew, man. If only that kid knew.'
Meg then turned back to the girls as she said "Ok, let's make a break for it" as the girls nodded and began walking away.
0000000000000000000000
The girls were working their way around the crowds as they were getting close to the stairs.
"I think we go up the side stairs. Let me check the map" said Meg, looking at her phone.
"Right should be just ahead a little further" said Meg as she pointed ahead of them but just as the girls began moving forward, they were stopped by two guys wearing punk clothes.
"Hey hey. Whats the hurry doll?" said one of the boys in his attempt at sounding sleek.
"You girls look like you could use some company" said the other, also in his attempt at sounding sleek, but both failed at it.
"Ugh, is this what I have to look forward to every time we go out?" mumbled Meg but then she looked at the boys and said "Look bro, I hate to disappoint you but...." as she was then stopped by Yada grabbing her shoulder and then winking at her.
"Yada?" asked Meg as Yada then stepped forward and gazed up at the boys.
"Hiya boys. Wow, you boys are stacked" said Yada, making the boys smirk in pride.
"Look, we'd like to chill, but our daddies have us on a short leash" as she then reached into her pocket and pulled out a small pin and began tossing it around as she said "Yea I know it sucks but what are you going to do? Helicopter parents" as she then flashed the pin at the boys.
The boys managed to get a look at the pin and then gasped in shock at what it really was.
"Th....Thats a yakuza pin" exclaimed one of the boys in shock.
"Not just a yakuza pin. That's the emblem of the relatively small but absolutely terrifying Shuei Syndicator" shouted the other while Yada was just babbling on about their life.
The boys then turned around and began running away from the girls as they both yelled "We're sorry we bothered you."
"Ok bye" said Yada to the boys as she then turned back to the girls and said "That's how you separate the men from the boys.
"Why do you have a yakuza pin" asked Kayano as Yada smiled at her while chuckling.
0000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, Nagisa wasn't having the best of times in the club.
"Come on, drink up. I'm buying. We're living large tonight" said the man to Nagisa as he handed Nagisa drinks.
Nagisa knew he couldn't have it as he waved his arms saying "I'm too..." but then stopped as he realized that his voice was his normal one and changed it to his attempt at a girls voice as he said "I mean I don't like how alcohol taste" as he looked up and saw the girls walking in the upstairs area, near the stairs.
"Just hold it together, Nagisa hold his interest long enough so the girls a chance to unlock the door" thought Nagisa as he then faced the man again as he asked "So what brings you to this place? You're friends? Your mom and dad?" as the man finished his drink.
"Mom and dad. As if they'd give me the time of day" said the man in annoyance.
He then began to whisper "Hey, want to know a secret. Don't tell anyone but my dads on TV. Like super famous. You'd know him if you saw him, trust me. He's huge, paparazzi hound him all the time. Guy can't get away with anything. At least not in public. One time he told me about this anchor woman he kept fondling under the table when he went to commercial" he said as he gestured his hand in a squeezing fashion.
Nagisa didn't like the sound of that as he asked "That sounds sleazy. Does he brag about stuff like that?"
Hearing this seemed to have touched a nerve as he looked away from Nagisa and thought "Damn it, way to go dummy. Real smooth. Can't even make an impression without bringing up the old man. I'm so lame" as he pulled out a cigarette.
Nagisa saw this and tried to stop him saying "Uh, smokings really bad for you. Especially that stuff" trying to change his mind.
The man just chuckled as he said "What are you, sergeant general. It's cool. People just need to loosen up every once in a while" as he waved the cigarette.
Nagisa took his cigarette away from him and recalled something that Korosensei taught him
"My teacher call this a gate way substance. Says it puts unsuspecting kids on the road to addiction. Recreational drugs aren't the solution to life's problems" but just as he said that the man slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Yea well, what does your teacher know about my problems!!! Guys have it rough. We've got to be cool 24/7 just to score. You try being somebody when all people do is just compare you to your celebrity dad. You girls, y'all dont have a clue how it is. All you have to do is put on a little makeup, walk into a club and take your pick" said the man in anger.
Nagisa sweat dropped at his sudden outburst but then began to think back in the girls in his class.
"I can't speak for most girls but the girls I know have a lot more on their minds. Some more than other" thought Nagisa.
0000000000000000000000
The girls had began walking towards the stairs as Yada had began explaining why she had the pin.
"Oh that's from Professor Bitchs pin collection" said Kayano.
Yada smiled as she said "That woman is something else. Yakuza overlord, horse breeder. Any pin you can think of, she's got it and knows how to walk the walk" as she recalled Irina's excitement when Yada began asking about her line of work and showing her all the pins she managed to collect of her years of training.
"Wow that line of work totally fascinates you, doesnt it Yada. You're always picking her brain about different stuff" said Kayano.
"Yea, its like Korosensei always says about our second blade. And Professor Bitch has more than two. I like an extensive skill set" said Yada as she had her fingers like she was holding a knife.
"You see, what every job she's dropped into, she has a strategy. that's what you call serious life competence" said Yada as she began to think about what she wants to do in the future.
"Wow. I bet when you grow up I bet you'll be just like her" said Fuwa in amazement.
"Ugh. Never thought I would expect to respect a girl with huge melons" said Kayano with a blank face.
"Wow Kaede's made a real breakthrough every one" thought Okano in shock.
Fuwa then began to think about what she was talking about and then smirked as she looked at her and said "So you plan to be like Professor Bitch, right."
Yada looked at Fuwa and said "Well, mostly. I mean, I don't want to use seduction as a means to accomplish things, but rather wish to gain the necessary tools for negotiation and entertaining, as they would be the ultimate tools when going out into society. Or negotiating something" as she explained her ideas to the girls.
"I see. Well its a good thing then that you don't want to use seduction" said Fuwa in a coy way, which made Yada raise her eyebrow in question.
"Why do you ask?" asked Yada.
"Because I'm pretty sure Eric would be jealous seeing you with other guys. He'd hate seeing you with any other guy than him" teased Fuwa, to which hearing this Yada blushed madly at what she said as she said "Wh...wha..what."
The girls giggled at her reaction as Meg said "Come on Yada, we can oblivious tell you like him. After all, you did give him that ticket to the carnival to cheer him up after we learned about his past."
"Yea, you've been so worried about him so much that its kind of obvious. Not to mention, you've been walking close to him since we began this whole thing" said Okano.
Yada's blush kept getting bigger and bigger. She knew she didn't want to talk about it now so she tried to say "Well... that's because I didn't want him getting himself hurt. And how do you know about that?" asked Yada.
Hayami rubbed the back of her head as she said "Eddy and Rio eavesdropped on the whole thing and told us about you giving him the ticket. That and Eddy showed us photos of you guys having fun together. That was sweet of you, by the way."
Yada kept blushing as she said "This isn't the time guys. The more time we waste, the more our friends are dying. So let's get going" as she began walking ahead of the girls as the rest kept giggling at her embarrassment.
The girls kept walking and finally made it to the stairs.
"Ok, there's the door" said Meg but she then stopped as she saw a huge man standing in the way.
"They have a guard posted there. We didn't count on that" said Meg in frustration at the obstacle in their way.
"Not to be that girl but I think we might need a man for this" said Fuwa in nervousness.
"Well damn. Kaede, go and rescue Nagisa" said Meg as she turned to face Kayano.
"Sure" said Kayano as she gave her a peace sign and ran to get Nagisa.
The girls looked at the man guarding the door and were a bit scared at how fierce his face looked as they stared at him with fierce white eyes.
"Get a load of that face. Something tells me we'd be better off not engaging" said Okano in nervousness.
"Hell, even if we could take this guy, he won't go down without making noise" said Hayami in hushed voice.
0000000000000000000000
Kayano finally found Nagisa and then yelled his name "Nagisa."
Nagisa heard his name and turned to see Kayano motioning him to follow her. Seeing her made Nagisa happy that he could leave.
"Oh hey there" he said but then faced the man and spoke in his girlish voice saying "Well uh its been nice but....uh.....got to go" as he began walking away from the man.
The boy groaned as he said "Seriously, but we just started talking."
"We'll do it again some time" said Nagisa as he began walking away from him.
"Damn it, do something. She's slipping through your fingers" thought the boy in demand as he then stood up and began following them.
0000000000000000000000
Kaede and Nagisa made it back to the rest of the group in a hurry.
"Don't leave me alone like that again" complained Nagisa to Kayano.
"Yea yea whatever. Look we've got a problem" said Meg as she pointed at the guard at the door.
Nagisa groaned as he said "Just what we need. At least tell me I can ditch the dress."
But before they could even go to the stairs, they were stopped by a familiar/ annoying voice.
"Not so fast ladies. You can't leave not until you've taken in my signature dance moves" said the kid from before and began doing some pretty lame dance moves.
The whole group just looked at him in annoyance as they didn't have time for him.
"Seriously!!!" they all thought with annoyed faces.
The boy kept doing his stupid moves as he thought "This is it. I've got them. No girl can resist the charms of my sweet moves" as he kept dancing but then he swung his fist back and felt it connect with something.
The boy grew a nervous face as he looked back and saw he had knocked some tall guys beer over and onto his shirt.
The tall man grew an irked face as he said "Well, what do we have here? A regular tough guy, huh."
"Who me, no!" said the boy but then he was grabbed by his shirst by the tall man.
"Shut it" yelled the tall man in anger.
"I'm sorry man. It was an accident" said the boy, trying to get out of the situation.
"This jackets worth more than your life. Where do you live?" yelled the man as he shook the boy around, vigorously.
"Look, I don't want any trouble" said the boy, still trying to get out of the situation. The class still had their annoyed faces on but Yada began to read the situation and came up with a plan.
"This could be our chance" she whispered to the others as she began explaining what they could do to get rid of the security guard at the door.
"You're going to pay to have it clean, understand. You can write me a check or I can take it out of your ass" yelled the man as a threat.
"Wait, my dads good for the money. I promise, just don't kill me" screamed the boy in fright.
Okano then stepped up to the tall man and said "Excuse me, Mr Yakuza" to which he turned and said "yea"
He was then met with Okano's foot in his face as she had done one of her gymnastic moves and swung her body down and then swung her foot right into his face, causing him to fall to the ground in pain, as she landed back on her feet, after doing a complete 360 degrees kick to his face.
The kid fell to the ground to in shock at her attack. The girls then came over to the beaten man's body as they all said "1 2" and then lifted the man's body away.
Yada then ran over to the security guard and yelled "Mr. Bouncer, we have a situation here. I think this man has one too many tequila shots. Someone is going to trip over the poor guy" as she then pointed at the man in the ground.
The man walked over to the girls and saw the man laying down on the floor.
He saw him then bowed at Yada as he said "Thank you for pointing it out" as he then reached down and lifted the man up and began carrying him away. "Up we go, light weight. There we go" he said.
"Ok girls, go for it" said Nagisa as the girls began running towards the stairs.
Just as Yada began to join the girls, she looked down at the boy and said "You take those signature moves back to the dance floor. You didn't see anything" as she turned around and began following the girls
The boy just sat there as he watched them walk away. But then Nagisa stepped up near him as he said "If you're anything like me, you'll probably feel humiliated. It is hard to be a guy if you only thinks about its all about playing it cool" as he smiled at him and said "Don't try so hard just do you."
"You really think so?" asked the boy.
"Word to the wise for whenever we ever meet again. The coolest thing anyone can do is be themselves. Trust me, I know a guy or I guess 4 that know that more than anyone else" said Nagisa as he then began following the girls.
The boys had been waiting by the door outside the building, waiting for the girls to open the door. Fuwa then came out of the other door outside and cheered "Mission Accomplished!"
The boys nodded their heads and began running towards the door.
0000000000000000000000
The group made it to the next floor and had finally managed to catch their breath. Eric handed Nagisa his clothes and he immediately ran to go change.
"That was some rather questionable territory you had to navigate through. No one got handsy with you, I hope?" asked Korosensei.
The girls shook their heads "no", making the boys and teachers happy they made it out alright.
"Nope" said Okano.
"We held our own" said Meg.
Nagisa then came out of a bathroom as he was now back into his regular clothes. Kayano turned her head as she said "Oh you changed out of your dress. That was fast."
"Not fast enough" said Nagisa in a depressed tone.
"Huh, whats bothering you?" asked Kayano.
"Nothing I feel so stupid. I mean let's face it. You girls didn't need me in there. I didn't contribute to anything" said Nagisa feeling down in the fact that he didn't do anything and had to wear a stupid dear.
Karma then held up a pic of Nagisa in the dress and said "You were comic relief dude. That's big" in his casual way but they could tell he was teasing him.
"DELETE THAT IMMEDIATELY" yelled Nagisa in embarrassment.
Kayano laughed at his tone and said "You did a lot Nagisa. I know one guy that is off a lot better because you were there" as she meant the boy from below as he was now walking away from the party, leaving behind his packet of cigarettes. And the party.
0000000000000000000000
The class continued their way up the stairs to the next floor.
"Not going lie, that dress looked good on you" said Isogai to Nagisa as he looked at him in question.
"Historically speaking an assassin that can pull off either gender is a huge asset in the field" said Isogai as he kept carrying Karasuma.
"I don't like where this is going" said Nagisa in nervousness.
"He's right. Except I'm not sure I buy you as a dude. I mean, from what I've heard from the class Eric once called you "ma'am", so why not give in" said Karma in his causal, but teasing way.
Eric grew a nervous expression as he said "Well, can you blame me. He did look like a girl. So I made a mistake. I'm sorry" as he began blush slightly in embarrassment at that moment.
"I'd really appreciate it if we drop the subject" yelled Nagisa in embarrassment.
"We're trying to be stealthy. Keep your voice down" said Karasuma in an annoyed but also serious tone.
"Yes sir" said the class in quiet voices.
Karasuma then faced forward as he said "We're in the operations final phase. Talk to me Ritsu" as he pulled out his phone.
"Yes sir. The VIP floor is around the corner. The guests here don't solely rely on hotel security. They make it a point to bring their own" informed Ritsu as some of the gang looked around the corner to see two big guys, one with hair and one without, guarding a gateway into another room behind red velvet rope.
"Man, these guys look like they eat cops for breakfast" said Sugaya in nervousness.
"This isn't the time to be making metaphors. Its plainly obvious that taking them out is going to be a challenge.
Yada looked over Eric's shoulder as she asked "Do you think these guys are in league with our target or what? I mean, technically they could be anyones minions, right?" as she stared at the two giants ahead of them.
"Like it even matters. Either way, we're going to have to take these guys down to get through" said Terasaka as he cracked his knuckles.
"Excellent point Terasaka" said Korosensei, making the class look at him.
"And to that end, the weapon you're hiding in your back pack will more than suffice" he said, making Terasaka groan in annoyance.
"Great, you have x-ray in this form too?" said Terasaka in annoyance as he began to reach into his backpack.
"You'll have to take both guards down at once to keep them from calling for back up" said Karasuma.
"Kind of figured as much, thanks" said Terasaka in agreement as he then looked at Kimura and said "Kimura, help me out."
Kimura was surprised by this as he asked "Huh?"
"I'll wait, you got out there and lead them this way" informed Terasaka.
Kimura was shocked at his plan as he knew he was small enough for those guys to crush him with their thumbs as he then said "Dude are you crazy?! How am I suppose to do that?!"
"You figure it out" said Terasaka, simply
Karma then came over and leaned into Kimura's ear as he said "I've got an idea if you're not a wuss" as he began whispering his idea.
0000000000000000000000
The guards stood still as they waited in the hallway as they then heard footsteps and turned to see Kimura with a sweating face walking up to them.
"Can we help you, kid?" asked one of the guards with hair.
Kimura stopped right next to them and then began putting his hadn't over his eyes as he began looking around saying "Oh wow. Not an active cell in sight. Nope. Just two big dumb walls of meat wearing clothes. Some one should really call animal control. Sheesh" as he pointed at the two then began walking away.
The two men stood in stillness at what had just happened right before their very eyes.......
.......Then began chasing after Kimura in angry tones.
"Come here!!!" yelled the guard with hair.
"Why are you running?!" said the guard with no hair.
"Guess that did the trick" thought Kimura as he ran as fast as his leg could carry him.
"Who the hell is this little piss- ant?" said Hair guy.
"And whys he so fast?" said Baldy.
Kimura kept running as fast as he could right past the group and onward. Terasaka and Yoshida saw this and this made Terasaka and Yoshida move out of the corner as Terasaka said "Come on, let's do it."
"Right behind you" said Yoshida as the two boys then tackled the two guards to the ground and then struck them both with Terasaka's weapons.
A pair of stun guns, knocking the two guards out as they stunned them.
"Wait, why stun guns?"asked Eric in surprise.
"Well, I bought them to see if they'd be any good against the octopus, but I didn't think I'd be using them on actual people" said Terasaka as he stopped tasing the man.
"Those cost a fortune. How did you afford something like this" asked Meg.
Terasaka grew a nervous face as he said "Well, uh, I came into some money. Odd jobs mostly Nothing special" as he was actually meaning the money had managed to make from helping Shiro and Itona with the whole swimming fiasco.
While they were talking, Terasaka looked down at the two fallen man and realized that they seemed familiar somehow.
"Wait, I've seen these guys before" he thought.
"Expertly done, Terasaka. I don't think it would be remiss to riffle through their pockets, do you?" said Korosensei as Terasaka then looked down at the man he was on and began rummaging through his pockets as Yoshida did they same with his guy.
"A bit of due diligence and one can find the most useful of items on such gentlemen" said Korosensei as Terasaka and Yoshida gasped at what they found and pulled out...
"Real guns" said everyone in amazement but also nervousness.
The class had gotten use to using the air-soft guns that they never thought they would ever use real one.
"Chiba. Hayami" said Korosensei to the two as that brought them out of their amazement as they looked at him.
"I think you two should be the ones to have them" said Korosensei.
This made the two gasp in shock at what he said as Eric said "Wait, what did you say sir?!"
"Alas, Mr Karasuma hasn't recovered from his encounter with Smog to handle a gun. The reality of our situation is this. You two are our best sharpshooters, along with Eric. But seeing as we only have two guns, you two are the best ones to use them for now."
"That's kind of out of left field sir" said Chiba.
"That said, I'll allow no killing. That I won't" said Korosensei in a serious way as the Japanese words for "No killing" was on his forehead along with a cross scare on his left cheek.
"Do not underestimate your skill. In the right hands, a firearm is all the more impressive for not causing injury" said Korosensei to the two.
"I can't believe this! Live ammo" thought Chiba as he looked that the guns chamber, with of real bullets.
"But even when we had air guns, we froze" thought Hayami as she did the same.
Chiba then realized something as he asked Korosensei "But sir, what about Eric. He's a good shooter too. Why not let him take my place."
"Or mine" said Hayami.
Eric was surprised at what they were saying as he then turned to Korosensei to see how he would respond.
Korosensei sighed as he said "Granted Eric is also talented with a gun, courtesy of his grandpa, we need him for when we face the real enemy" said Korosensei.
This made the class wonder what he meant by that as Kayano asked "What do you mean by that sir?"
"Eric, my boy, you are great with a gun but we still don't know who were dealing with and we might need that special trick of yours" said Korosensei.
"You mean, the whole slowed down time thing" asked Eric.
"Precisely. I've seen you use that trick multiply times and it has served its purpose in having you come out on top. And that's why I want Chiba and Hayami to have the guns. Because we need your strange abilities in case we need it against our real enemy. The Master Mind" chanted Korosensei.
Eric was surprised by what his teacher just said as he then looked at his hands in wonder, contemplating what his teacher just said.
'He was right. With Karasuma out of commission, only a select few of us were capable to defeating our enemies. Guess its up to us now. Hopefully not for long.'
Eric then clenched his fists and then nodded as he said "Right."
"Excellent. Well, shall we proceed children. If our experience this far has anything to go on, the enemies presence here is relatively modest. By even the most conservative estimate, we've thinned their ranks by half" informed Korosensei.
Terasaka clenched his fist as he said "Yea that's what I'm saying. Who's he got left" in fierceness.
"Ok team, proceed with caution. The next stage of infiltration is the VIP only emergency stair case. Theres a empty concert hall on the 8 floor. We'll have to sneak through to access it" informed Ritsu.
The class nodded and began to run through the gateway the guards were guarding and they then opened the door and saw a big open, empty stage rooms they then began running through it at fast speed.
The class made their way down the isle but they then heard footsteps coming from the stage area.
Eric gasped as he said "Someone's coming. Everyone hide" as he ran into one isle of seats and hide behind them. The class did the same as the footsteps began to grow louder and louder.
"This whole affair is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Thought I was hired to snuff out some kind of super being. How did I roped into playing cat and mouse with a bunch pimple faced brats. Disgusting. Oh well, I've just the thing to wipe out that nasty taste" thought the man as opened the door to the stage and he began licking the barrel of his gun in a creepy way. (This guy is more weird than Grip, in my opinion.)
The man then stopped on the center of the stage and then stopped as he looked out in to the seats and noticed something was wrong.
Eric became more and more nervous since he figured this guy was another one of the master minds henchmen.
'We were so close to the antidote I could taste it myself, but we still had one more guy to take down. Or at least I hope he's the last. Ok, just need to get past this guy, negotiate with whoever is behind this and we get the antidote. Here we go.'

{Playing Welcome Back by John Sebastian}
[Instrumentals] The opening fades into a scenery of Tokyo, Japan.
[Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out] The scene then cuts to the Eds and Eric walking on a sidewalk. Eddy in front of Ed, who was in front of Double D, with Eric behind him. They didn't seek to each, as they went to school.
[Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about] The next scene cuts to them in class with the other students as Korosensei teaches the class. The camera was positioned in the back of the room, so all you saw was their back and Korosensei teaching them.
[Well the names have all changed since you hung around] Korosensei's attention was caught by the bell and his speed out and back in with an arm full of sweets and candies, making the students sweat-drop anime style at him.
[But those dreams have remained and they've turned around] The next scene shows the Eds and Eric gathered around Double D's decks, with the smart Ed boy discussing a new plan from assassination, pointing to a piece of paper in his hand as he talked.
[Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)] Eddy points to paper and asks a question. Double D answers him with a smile.
[Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)] With Korosensei out of the room, Double D was at the front of the class, stating the next plan for another assassination, as the class watched and listen.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The scene then cuts to Ed, Eric, Isogai, Kimura, Maehara, and Chiba outside in front of the open window of the classroom that Korosensei used to exit when he wants to go to a far off place, putting up a large sheet of plastic to cover the open window frame.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Double D, who was in the class as they worked, shows a description of the plan on the blackboard. Showing that when Korosensei came back, the sheet of paper would act as a trap to tangle him up, so they could jump him and kill him.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The boys that were working outside came in through the classroom door, with Eric said they were done with a thumbs up. Everyone quickly sat down in their seats.
[Yeah we tease him a lot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei ripped through the sheet of plastic with his Mach 20 speed, and stood at the front of the class, shocking the students.
[Cause we got him on the spot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei then lectures them about their failed assassination attempt, as they all look down.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The camera cuts to a hand holding a small yellow notebook with the description of the assassination, and a number to indicate what attempt it was. It was crossed out by a red marker.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] It is shown to be Eric who was holding the notebook, with the Eds around him. They signed in disappointment, as the sunsets.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] They look at each other and shrugged with a small in an 'Oh well' manner. Eric then flipped over to the next page and put down the next number for the next assassination plan.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The Eds and Eric are then seen walking back home before everything fades to black.
