The scene opens looking up at a nightclub named “Volcano”, then swiftly pans downward to a silver car that a dark purple suit wearing man, and a yellowjacket suit wearing man, known as Bishop.
?: Ah ha ha, that was indeed a great time my friend, thank you!
Bishop: You’re welcome. Being cozy with higher up politicians has its perks. Even if it has to be here in Japan.
?: Ha I know, I used to be a partner of a nice club in Vladivostok. I’ll take you there, when this Boivd crap is done.
Bishop: Oh yeah? I’ll take you there my good friend, the first trip.
The purple suit man had a Russian accent, but not too thick of one. Bishop meanwhile had his voice sounded Eastern European but nothing definitive. Regardless he remained confident with a grinning smile. That is until he stared off to the distance. He looked straight at an alleyway that had minor yellow lights. With the camera continuing to pan away it shows a silhouette of a leg
Bishop: What… Is…
?: Sir? What is it?
The camera gives a first person view of Bishop’s vision and it shows what he see’s. A man barely visible but moving ever so slightly to breathe
Bishop: Oh no-! We’ve gotta get out of here!
Bishop runs into the car as quick as he could with the purple jacket fellow getting into the passenger side. The camera shifts back to the leg and the lights of a motorcycle turn on and it’s revealed to be Lightning Man
Lightning: Not today you bastard!
Lightning’s bike revs up as Bishop’s car turns on and puts it in full throttle away from the nightclub and Lightning gives chase, also going full throttle
Lightning: I’ve let you off the hook long enough. It’s time for you to face justice!
Bishop’s car drives past multiple vehicles, blowing through intersections, endangering civilians who were walking across. Lightning Man meanwhile drives exceptionally well, and avoids all traffic and people and starts getting closer to the car.
Just as he was nose to the trunk, the car shifts to the left, overcorrecting and driving on the sidewalk for a moment before jumping back on the road. The heroic bike follows and follows *his* villain deeper into Tokyo. As the bike chase continues, the streets start to become vacant and Lightning begins to get closer to Bishop’s car once more. What Lightning doesn’t know is there is another car behind him.
Lightning: It’s time to put an end to this chase once and for all.
-Lightning presses a button on his bike
Bike: Weaponized Mode activated, missile primed. Please stand clear.
Lightning’s bike prepares its weapon mode, similar to how Lightning Man assisted to defeat Michael Vastrix months ago. Lightning takes aim.
Lightning: Got you- What the heck?!
Just as Lightning was about to fire, another car screams like a bullet past the chase going past them. The car crashes into another car, the one that was behind Lightning. The Hero witnesses the explosion, and begins to lose speed as Bishop pulls away. Lightning begins to stop and Lightning curses himself
Lightning: … GOD DAMNIT!
Bishop drives back into traffic and Lightning completely loses his nemesis, before turning back towards the explosion
Bike: Speed Mode activated, weapons disengaged. Drive safe.
Lightning: I can’t believe this happened. I had that scumbag, I HAD HIM! But… Someone is probably hurt here, I have to help them. Wally, call Barry.
The Bike, “Wally” calls one of Lightning Man’s allies
Barry: Hello?
Lightning: Maple Steel, this is Lightning Man. A… Accident happened near my location. I probably will need some help cleaning it out.
Barry: An accident you say, eh? Well, I’m just about healed up for a mission. I’ll be there soon.
Lightning had called his ally Maple Steel, who had been out of heroic duties for about a month after an incident. Back on the scene though, Lightning pulls up to the wreck, seeing two mangled cars on fire with no occupants in either one.
Lightning: Hello? Is everyone alright? Anyone??
As Lightning shouts, a man rises up behind the wreck, with his shirt on fire
Lightning: Sir! Please stay still! I’m here to help-
Before Lightning can continue, the man tears his shirt off and throws it toward Lightning. The man with a bright green eye shouts in a Irish accent
?: You best clear out of ‘ere lad. If you know what’s good for ya!
Lightning: What? Sir, you were just involved in a car accident, I’m here to help you.
?: This was no accident.
The man stares forward at the Hero, but not at him. Behind Lightning were black, unmarked sedan’s. Then more arrived surrounding the wreck. Two cars at every entrance way ensured the scene was blocked. Lightning though, was surprising to see this many vehicles when just a moment ago, the streets were void of life. The occupants of the car’s exit their cars, some armed with swords, or firearms. Lightning gets off his bike and retreats himself to the survivor.
Lightning: What is this? Who are these people?
Survivor: Like you don’t know.
Lightning: No I don’t!
Survivor: Then stay out of my way mate. I have no time for cosplayers.
One of the intruders steps forward
Intruder: It’s a shame you survived this attempt, now we have to make this mess… Messier.
The intruder, a female, laughs, as do the others around the intersection. However the survivor is not swayed nor intimidated and starts walking towards her
Intruder: Oh, and did you call for help? This wannabe hero from that fake wrestling show?
Lightning: *underbreath* From what I’ve had to go through, its not fake.
Intruder: You’re going to die here you Irish fool. While the Yakuza business has nothing against you, as you’re a nobody. But it is personal against your wife. She must pay! She will-
Survivor: SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!
The survivor gets to the intruder, who is now revealed to work for the Yakuza, and punches her mouth square in the jaw, breaking it and making her fall. Then the others swarm the crash site, some charging at Lightning Man, the others toward the survivor. The group over at Lightning, attack with swords, trying and failing to hit the Hero. Lightning counters with dodges and a block that managed to grab a sword from one of the Yakuza and began using it to defend himself.
Meanwhile with the survivor, he grabbed the knocked out lady and threw her by her leg to three of the Yakuza. He then jumped and broke the neck of a member with a pistol, taking it for himself and shooting at the Yakuza with precision headshots. Over back at Lightning Man he continues to swipe and swing his sword at this gang, with non fatal attacks. One member charges at Lightning with a gun, however Lightning ducks and fires his Lightning Stun Gun at the assailant, making him scream as up to 200 Volts go through him. Lightning amps up the charge, and then creates a minor explosion, sending the Yakuza member flying away onto a car.
Over to the survivor, his pistol is now gone, but he continues to stand tall against the Yakuza members. In this he punches one, then delivers a powerbomb that makes the victim bounce in the air screaming. The survivor then rolls over to a swordsman, and breaks the arm of the man, before pulling the sword through his gut, chopping the Yakuza man in half. The crowd suddenly dispersed, running back to their car’s. Unfortunately for one, he did not get away and was caught by the survivor. Lightning Pele Kick’s one more Yakuza member, before turning to the survivor and gang member.
Lightning: No wait! Don’t!!
The survivor then stomps with absolute force to the head that makes a sickening sound as Lightning stares in shock and then makes his way to the survivor in anger, shoving him
Lightning: What is WRONG with you?! Why did you do that?! How are we supposed to figure out who these people work for? Why would you do this, after what just happened to you?!
Survivor: You’ve got a funny imagination “Hero.” Do you not remember that they were trying to kill me?! Kill you?!
Lightning: That’s not how to go about life! To live with regrets and memories of taking ones life its-
Survivor: Wait, you’re saying you… DIDN’T KILL THOSE BASTARDS?!
The survivor looks past Lightning, and see’s the Yakuza that Lightning fought and are running away. The survivor’s green eye shines bright as he screams in anger and he tries to strike Lightning but misses all his strikes. After one last failed punch, the survivor falls to his knees, panting and exhausted.
Lightning: You’re clearly distressed and upset. Who are you? And who are these people?
The survivor stands up as thunder rumbles in the distance
O’Rourke: Name’s O’Rourke. And these sub-humans, their the Yakuza. Y’know, the bloody Jap Mob.
Lightning: O’Rourke? Are you related to Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke?
O’Rourke: You keep her name outta your mouth lad! You’re not privy to say it! You will acknowledge her simply as… Apathy. The answer to your question is, yes. She’s my wife. We’ve been in hiding ever since the attack these fuckers went for her.
Lightning: Alright… Why’d they come after you for?
O’Rourke: Because I’m her husband. I have no quarrel with anybody in this island nation. It’s not even the best one in the world. We came here on a personal matter, but now we can’t exactly get out. And they saw an opportunity to ruin her. By literally throwing a car bomb at me. Too bad for them, it takes more than that to kill me.
Suddenly landing in from a building, Maple Steel arrives next to Lightning
Maple Steel: Stay clear everybody, the Tri-Attack is here to serve and protect!
Lightning: You’re late Maple.
O’Rourke: The “Tri-Attack”? What are you on about? Pokemon? And look, Halloween’s over mates, get with the program.
Maple: Hey, Lightning, who's the jerk here?
Lightning: His name’s O’Rourke, he’s the victim of the crash.
Maple: Him?! Not with the bodies nearby he isn’t. If anything, he's the agitator.
Lightning: Its a long story.
Maple: Yeah well the authorities will have something to say LM! They should be here any minute, we should take this time to KO this lug and make it easier for em!
O’Rourke: No one’s coming this way for awhile mate, if there was, they’d be here by now.
Maple: Well, why won’t they?
O’Rourke: Because this was a Yakuza fight! They got their hands in all the right places. Including the police. They made sure they wouldn’t be disturbed in this fight, till your pal showed up. They’ll be looking for you now too…
O’Rourke sighs and begins to walk away
O’Rourke: Listen lads, I’ve hung around here too long already. You, discount Flash, you work for that Ultimate Wrestling thing right?
Lightning: Yeah, thats right.
O’Rourke: I’ll tell her what you did for me here… An’ you should watch your back lad. You never know whom you can trust. Out here, in da Dome, anywhere these days. Even those on your side can betray you. Catch ya later lads.
O’Rourke leaves the scene, while Maple and Lightning stand by
Maple: Do you trust that guy?
Lightning: No, but I do believe in what he is saying. Trusting someone doesn’t mean I can’t believe him.
Maple: Well, it looks like you didn’t need me after all.
Lightning: No Barry I did. I needed you when those goons got here, but he stood his ground and fought like his life depended on it. Same as you would’ve. And I still do need you.
Maple: Thanks Cliff. We should get out of here.
-Lightning jumps over to his bike-
Lightning: Come on, I’ll get us back to the studio.
