*We fade into Sergeant Drake Yoshida's office where he is sitting behind his uncharacteristically empty desk across from JET Hamada and Barton Miller, otherwise known as the Marauder.*
[JET:] "I guess I just don't understand why no one has arrested him yet. INTERPOL is down our throats because someone unrelated to us jumped out of the audience to attack a wrestler but Furis is able to walk around freely and no one is concerned?"
[Drake:] "Arthur didn't tell anyone other than Thunder Strike so law enforcement does not know. You didn't tell anyone, right?"
*JET laughs*
[JET:] "Yeah, no. At this point I try to tell people very little about what goes on here. I get enough flack from my pals back home as it is with us dealing with all that Destiny stuff and other shenanigans. They want me to return to judo and I don't want to give them any more reason. Hearing that a vampire has come back to warn us about cult clones isn't on the top of my list to tell people to keep my credibility as a judoka."
*Marauder laughs and Drake smirks at JET.*
[Drake:] "I appreciate your loyalty. And speaking of other types of competition, there is a specific reason why I called you both in."
[Barton:] "I also received the flyers about the cup stacking tournament that Luke sent us. Fortunately, I don't think they are real."
*Drake lets out a very rare laugh, which almost sounds like coughing, which alarms Barton. That reaction allows Drake to be serious again.*
[Drake:] "There is a flyer but it's not related to Luke. Before I give this to both of you, take a deep breath."
*Drake pulls out his desk drawer and takes out two identical advertisements which he hands over to Barton and JET. It does not take long for them to understand the relevance of the flyer advertising the "Fukuoka Grand Sumo Championship."*
[JET:] "Yoshiro."
[Drake:] "You didn't even have time to read to his name."
[JET:] "Sumo flyer, you telling us to breathe, hidden desk drawers. Yeah, it's Yoshiro."
*Barton's eyes have not left the flyer since receiving it.*
[Barton:] "To even qualify for this tournament is very impressive."
[Drake:] "This is the final Grand Sumo tournament of the year. It's annually held at the Fukuoka Kokusai Center."
[JET:] "Please tell me we're taking a field trip!"
[Drake:] "Given what happened with recent clone-warning creatures of the night, I wanted us to stay close to headquarters for the past few weeks. But it appears that things have calmed down. Although we missed the first week of the Grand Sumo tournament, there is still one week left.
I bought four tickets to the event and three plane tickets."
[JET:] "Oh I see, just because my name is JET means I can fly without an airplane."
*Barton laughs at the joke but without really smiling as he continues to eye the flyer.*
[Drake:] "No, the fourth member of our group is meeting us there because he's already in Japan. It's RYOMA."
[JET:] "I genuinely like the guy but is it such a great idea to have a Team Matsuki member there?"
[Drake:] "RYOMA is joining us to apologize on behalf of Team Matsuki for the behavior of Kazuo Saji in conjunction with Kurt Sanders."
[JET:] "Do you think Yoshiro will talk to us, let alone him?"
[Drake:] "It's a chance I would like to take. Win or lose this tournament, Yoshiro has isolated himself and it is not healthy."
[JET:] "It may not be healthy but it certainly seemed effective if he has made this much progress after returning to sumo for less than a year."
[Barton:] "I appreciate this, Drake. And I know that RYOMA has the best of intentions, but I hope his company does not irritate Yoshiro."
[Drake:] "RYOMA, even as an ally of Saji, has a calming and respectful presence. I believe his actions will help smooth things over."
[Barton:] "Let us hope so."
[Drake:] "We leave tomorrow so prepare yourselves and I'll see you at the airport."
[JET:] "Thanks again, Drake. This means a lot to both of us."
[Barton:] "I hope it will mean as much to Yoshiro."
*The scene fades as Drake gives travel ticket packages to the two of them.*
