15 minutes earlier-

Sinterklaas: Midoriyama? Where are you!? Hey, stupid! (Sinterklaas frowns). Damn it, he probably went and reported to the Marines, that untrustworthy son of a-!

WHAM!

Sinterklaas: What was that?

''Sinterklaas puts his ear to the alley wall and hears a faint beating and thumping, as well as strained cries of pain. ''

Sinterklaas: Huh, that must be him. (backtracks and enters said alley).

''Sinterklaas enters the alley only to see Stokam Toad beating up Midoriyama. Stokam Toad glances up and smiles at Sinterklaas, lifting his bloody fists from Midoriyama's face. ''

Toad: How may I help you?

Sinterklaas: Um, no thanks. I'd rather not take help from a guy who's beating up my friend! (Unsheathes Yougan).

Toad: Friend, huh? So, are you the famed 'Sinterklaas'?

Sinterklaas: I sure am!

Toad: Midoriyama said you would come and 'kick my ass'.

Sinterklaas(chuckling): So it seems you aren't as strong as you seemed, huh greenhead?

Midoriyama(whispering): Shut up, asshole!

Sinterklaas: Yeah, I get it. I talk too much (Lifts Yougan). Get ready to be a-slashed.

''Furious and vigorous slashes ensue, as the red sword of heat prances between Toad's body parts, slashing his chest, his legs, his arm, his groin. Toad can't keep up with the slashes, and jumps back towards Midoriyama in order to evade them. ''

Toad: Curse you!

''Toad reaches for the Den Den Mushi in his pocket only to see that the phone part of the Dene Den Mushi has been cut off. ''

Toad: You-! (Curls his fists). You are so going to die right now.

Sinterklaas: What did I tell you about the a-slashes?

''Toad jumps towards the swordsman in a fighting stance and hurls a punch towards his face. Sinterklaas hurriedly unsheathes Sekisetsu and blocks the green man's punch with the blunt part of the sword. Toad grins and ducks under the sword, side-stepping and punching diagonally towards Sinterklaas's stomach. Sinterklaas holds both of his swords in an X shape, blocking the punch and hurting Toad's fists simultaneously. Sinterklaas spins Yougan over his head as Toad hurls a third punch towards his chest, and grasps the sword with both hands, sending it down on Toad's back just as his fist is about to come in contact with Sinterklaas's skin. Toad halts in mid-air, spews a few drops of blood, and falls to the ground, clutching his back.''

Sinterklaas: Just so you know, some of your toes might not work anymore.

Sinterklaas walks around Toad and picks up the bloody Midoriyama, walking back to the fight club.

Sinterklaas: I'm gonna find the guy who's responsible for this and give a good beating.

Midoriyama(rasps): Isolator.

Sinterklaas: What!?

Midoriyama: Take me to the isolator. It's about five blocks from here and we'll be able to talk in silence.

''After a few minutes of running, Sinterklaas arrives at a small cottage apparently named the Isolator, where infectious sick people would be isolated until they were cured or dead. Sinterklaas sets Midoriyama down inside the building and applies disinfectant and bandages onto the green-head's wound.''

Midoriyama: It all started three years ago, when I was fourteen. I woke up in the middle of a stormy night from a bolt of thunder. It was completely random, but I saw three cloaked figures escaping to the sea surrounding my home island. None of the other residents noticed it. The day after, I went to the mayor and reported the incident. He told me it was probably my imagination, but I knew it was real. (Coughs)

TBC, not the end of the chapter.
