Yoba Academy
Practice Studio: 11:00am
Jiro POV

As the day went pretty much about as average as one can get, Rinku and the rest of her unit worked hard on a new song for their next performance.

Rinku: Wow! We've got this song down!

Jiro: Rinku is right, enough to beat Photon Maiden.

Muni: It's that really OK for you to say Mr. Photon Manager?

Jiro: I'm sure. My jobs pays my bills, but it won't come between our friendship.

Rei: Thank you Jiro, for caring about us.

Maho: If you care about us some much. Mind telling us more ways to beat Photon or maybe Peaky P-Key?

Jiro: That being said. I am a man of integrity.

Rinku: Oh! It's lunch time!

Jiro: Great, I'm starving.

Yoba Academy Gardens: 11:30am

Ibuki: Thanks for the food!

Saki: What do you have for lunch today?

Ibuki: Healthy Bento filled with all the nutrients needed for the day. What about you? Did your darling prepared your lunch?

Saki: He sure did. Eveything looks very good.

Jiro: I'm happy that my lunches are visually appealing.

Ibuki: Hi Jiro and Happy Around.

Maho: Mind if we join you?

Saki: Then let's move over to the tree.

Esora: Does my eyes confuse me? Jiro is having lunch with the top DJ units at school...and not include us?

Kyoko: Mind if we join you as well?

Saki: Please, by all means.

Esora: All of these taste soooo good!

Shinobu: Gotta hand it to you Jiro, dope sandwiches.

"Huh...I remember having lunch with everyone here...Shinobu still hated me and an upcoming question."

Kyoko: So have you decided who to join to get back in the DJ Game?

Jiro: Oh, I'm retired...and I'm out of my prime.

Yuka: Is that so?

Muni: Your only 17...

Shinobu: That Mermaid song was pretty good if I do say so...

Jiro: None of my work gets past you doesn't it?

Shinobu: You know me well enough.

*Phone rings*

Jiro: Hi Sis, what's up?

Airi: Hey little-bro, do you have a minute after school today?

Jiro: I'm free, why?

Airi: Well, it's better if you come and see for yourself.

*Hangs up*
________________________________

Jiro: Hmm...I guess I have plans after school.

Saki: Where?

Jiro: Ah-The Auditorium.

Kyoko: Does it have something to do with the Alumni Presentation?

Jiro: Maybe, Airi did attend Yoba afterall.

Shinobu: Changing the subject- You need a S-tier unit to preform for, and what better place than...

Jiro: Than what?

Esora: Yeah what?

Shinobu: Come on...Peaky P-Key of course...

Jiro: Oh...I'll think about it. *head pats Shinobu*

Kyoko: Well, lunch was good. Let's us all meet at the Auditorium later.

Jiro: Yeah, come Rinku...back to class...

Rinku: I don't wanna...

Jiro: I don't either, but we gotta go.

A few boring classes later...
Yoba Academy Auditorium: 2:50pm

As the seats fill up, I was called to a conference room by Airi. As I entered, I noticed three more girls in the lounge.

Airi: Ah, there's the rascal.

Jiro: Big Sis...I've seen these girls before. 

Airi: Then shall we re-introduce ourselves.

???: Don't you remember me Jiro, it's your other big Sis Mana Kase.

Jiro: I only have one, and her name is Airi Amano

Mana: Aww, that's a shame.

???: Well, it's good to see you again DJ Noir.

Jiro: Is that so?

???: I'm not mad about being dethroned, after all you are better than me.

Jiro: It was a group victory.

Toka: You and Sakura still talking?

Jiro: Sakura...

Airi: Jiro? Hey...you ok?

Jiro: Huh? Yeah, I'm fine...uh, yeah we're keeping in touch.

Shano: That's good then, maybe a resurgence might be possible.

Jiro: Boss, you went to this school?

Shano: I did, that's where I met these three girls. 

Jiro: I'm guessing, your all here for the Alumni Presentation?

Airi: Yup, on that subject- we're on stage.

After giving a speech about Yoba Academy Culture and paths this school can take you, I met back with Airi's friends inside the studio I use as an office and lounge.

Airi: So we actually have some great news to share.

Jiro: Really?

Mana: Yes, since we're all reunited we thought we'd get back into the game.

Toka: Our brand new DJ unit will now be Call Of Artemis.



Jiro: Crazy Name.

Shano: But very fitting if I do say so.

Jiro: So your leaving Nebula Productions?

Shano: No, I'll still be there. However, that means Photon Maiden is now your full responsibility.

Jiro: I was actually thinking to make a comeback...

Shano: Didn't you say your retired?

Jiro: I know, but I kinda miss it.

Airi: Does that mean...DJ Noir is back in the game?

Jiro: Yes...yes it does.

Shinobu: If that's how you feel, I'll be sure to give a challenge.

Airi: Peaky P-Key?

Kyoko: So he's back.

Jiro: I'm getting the squad back together.

Esora: I guess this means your here to make a declaration of war.

Yuka: Bring it on.

Jiro: Shinobu now more than anyone here...I don't go down easy.

Kyoko: Except when in Saki's embrace.

Shinobu: A total softie Hehe.

Esora: What do you consider Nova's greatest Feat?

Shano: This should interesting.

Jiro: Let's see here:

We won the under 17s DJ competition.

Had 5 singles released.

Humbled Raise A Suilen.

Raked in thousands of yen.

Overcame Roselia at the Future World Festival.

Jiro: That's about it.

Mana: Beating Raise A Suilen didn't sound like a easy task.

Jiro: It wasn't, but we of course are the better unit.

Ibuki: Someone should really take him down a peg.

Maho: A well needed ego check.

Jiro: Happy Around and Photon Maiden aren't even on our level.

Saki: Are those fighting words darling?

Jiro: Off the stage we're friends, but the stage...prepare yourselves.

Toka: Then let's show whose the better unit and help eachother grow.

Jiro: I should get Miyu, Rika, and Tsubaki into this.

Towa: Well  there's the bell...I have to go the couch is calling!

Jiro: Shall we Saki?

Saki: Right beside you!

Airi: Ahh, so cute.

As the units disperse into their personal lives, Jiro is seen taking over the phone with his old unit and a real estate agent.

Jiro: Yes...I will take the old studio near Yoba Academy. Yes down payment in on the way....Thank you bye.

Saki: Jiro seems very excited.

Jiro: Alright...Hakuro, Futaba...Sakura. We'll be together very soon. And then let's pick up where we left off.

Jiro'Mind: There's that voice...

Ple..se....if...m....v..ce...c.n..reac.....y.u...Jiro....y...ne...to...op...y...e....th...w...is...n...wh...I....s..ms....I...beg....y...pl...re...
