Our Idiots

Tadashi and Ikazuchi team up to retrieve their idiots (Read: Aruto and Horobi) from the make-shift arena.

A/N: Thanks to @thehistorynut19 @tokuteasings for helping me map some things out in the story XD I also got some ideas on from @flaim-ita on their various blog posts XD

FFN I Ao3

---------

Tadashi has been watching the altercation between Horobi and Aruto in the latter's apartment. He had been to Aruto's apartment before, back when he first woke up.

While the late CEO of Hiden Intelligence was signed as his guardian back when he was first found unconscious in the building, likely to cover up anything unpleasant, it was Aruto and Izu who took care of him.

Tadashi's muscles atrophied from disuse as he was unconscious for a long time, it was Aruto and Izu who helped him through rehabilitation up until he was able to walk on his own.

Tadashi then offered his services to Hiden Intelligence as a robotics engineering consultant to repay the goodwill Aruto has extended to him.

Nowadays, Tadashi lived in the apartment next door. He was in Aruto's home in the hopes that his surrogate little brother, despite him being younger than the young CEO, would at least return home after he slipped from his fingers the last time they met.

And sure enough the Aruto he was seeing on TV was anything but healthy.

Over the course of the year, Tadashi did not waver in supporting Aruto he even packed his bags from Hiden Intelligence and transferred to Hiden Manufacturing when that bastard Amatsu Gai booted him out.

Oh, how he had wanted to punch the bastard's teeth in.

Tadashi has also been privy to Aruto's actual relationship with his grandfather, who at first glance Aruto seemed to revere.

It was the exact opposite; it was sour, to say the least.

"Why do you use his motto, then?"

"He's still family, no matter how you put it, he still took me in."

Tadashi really disagreed with that point, but then again, he grew up in the Americas and not in Japan.

That was another mysterious thing: Tadashi didn't know how he got from San Fransokyo to Japan, he didn't even know how long he was unconscious because he was apparently in the year when he was supposed to be seven years old.

Not to mention this world did not have a San Fransokyo, rather, a San Francisco was in its place.

Tadashi shook his head and stopped thinking about his mysterious circumstances.

As soon as Tadashi saw Aruto's Ark armor dissolve in particles of light, he knew it was time.

Tadashi turned off the electronics in Aruto's apartment before he dressed himself and went outside.

His destination: Hiden Intelligence.

Tadashi took Aruto's bicycle and made his way to Hiden Intelligence, where he knows Ikazuchi was at. As he made his way to the company, Tadashi continued monitoring the fight via the large screens that have been streaming the entire thing.

As he was about to enter the building, he saw both Aruto and Horobi don their respective suits, but this time Aruto was wearing his Zero-One suit.

Tadashi entered the building, expertly maneuvering around people who were in the lobby as he made his way to the space flight department of the company.

And there was Uchuyarou Raiden, Metsubojinrai's Ikazuchi, standing beside the humagear he declared to be his little brother, Subaru, watching the fight between Aruto and Horobi alongside the other humagears, and the company's human staff members.

"Oi, Ikazuchi!" Tadashi called out, garnering everyone's attention. "Let's go get our idiots."

"Thought you'd never ask." Ikazuchi smirked.

"Would you require the Rise Hopper?" Subaru questioned.

"You know what, that thing hasn't been in use and has yet to be sent back in space, sure why not."

"Wouldn't we need a sidecar or something?"

The reply Tadashi got was a smirk not just from Ikazuchi, or even just from Subaru, the smirk came from everyone within the department.

A few minutes later, the Rise Hopper, the green motorcycle was fitted with a rickshaw that does not complement the Rider Mashin's design or its color scheme.

"I did not know what I expected, but it was certainly not this." Tadashi commented.

"It's retractable too."

Ikazuchi pressed something on his Risephone and the Rick Shaw that was just installed retracted and formed a sort of thick rail just above the motorcycle's tail light.

"Shall we go?"

"We shall."

Both Ikazuchi mounted the Rise Hopper, with Ikazuchi driving while Tadashi sat behind the driver, holding onto the retractable rickshaw they installed a few moments ago.

As Ikazuchi and Tadashi traversed the city's roads on top of Rise Hopper, Tadashi confirmed Aruto's location via his Zero-One driver.

Tadashi once asked Izu a way to locate Aruto and she found a way for me to track where the Zero-One, and eventually the Zero-Two driver, was last used.

(linebreak)

Tadashi and Ikazuchi found both Aruto and Horobi unconscious leaning on each other as they sat upright.

They were in the same place where they fought judging from the damage in the surrounding area and the fact that it looked identical to the place they were fighting when they watched them beat each other to a pulp.

"You take Horobi, I'll take Aruto," Tadashi instructed. "You can do check-ups on Horobi and I'll do the same for Aruto.

Tadashi carefully cut Aruto's clothes in half, revealing the number of untreated injuries and bruises the young CEO had on his body. He could also see signs of starvation and infection on the boy, likely due to the fact that he hasn't eaten since he first went missing after Izu's death.

"Uchuyarou! Hamada!" Tadashi saw the members of AIMS rushing towards them. "How are they?"

"Aruto's not looking good."

"I need equipment to make full diagnostics on Horobi."

"We have AIMS vans parked nearby." Yaiba immediately rushed to wear Fuwa was. "We can rush Hiden to the hospital and Horobi to Hiden Intelligence."

"No," Fuwa shook his head. "There are people who still hold a grudge against Horobi."

"Day Break Town." Ikazuchi nodded. "It's safer there."

"T-take the Zero-One Driver," Aruto managed to groan out as he shakily handed the Zero-One Driver to Tadashi. "It'll protect him from whatever remained of ARK's there."

"Shachou?"

Aruto's eyes closed again as soon as the instruction was delivered with Tadashi holding the aforementioned Driver.

"Don't worry, he's just unconscious," Tadashi assured everyone. "He used all of his energy to give us that instruction."

"To the end…" Fuwa shook his head but a smile adorned his face. "Take off toward your dream, indeed."

"Doesn't mean he's not in danger, he's anything but healthy," Tadashi shook his head. "Wherever he was when he was missing, he wasn't eating and has only been drinking water to survive."

"The question is, was the water he was drinking safe for consumption?" Yaiba stated the obvious.

"Let's move out people!" Fuwa yelled as he gestured for the gurneys he had ordered earlier to come his way.

Tadashi gave Ikazuchi the Zero-One Driver before they each loaded Aruto and Horobi on separate gurneys and rushed them to their respective destinations.

Daniella trembled with fear, her eyes wide in panic, as her knees burned with pain from kneeling on the marbled floor for hours. Warm tears fell in her cheeks, wetting her blouse. 

Angry pairs of eyes surrounded her as Justice, the first in command to the mafia boss, snarled, "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you now?" His voice was taunting, as he glared at her with his deep brown eyes.

Daniella shivered as she muttered, "Because you won't get your money if you kill me. Look, I will do anything okay? anything."

Justice laughed hysterically. "Will you do anything? Mr. Somo, my boss, needs a virgin tonight but I know you are not so you don't possibly have anything to offer," he snarled.

Daniella thought hard. Her life was at stake and she dared not offend the man in front of her. The hardness of the floor she had been kneeling on for so long made her knee painful. "Yes, I am not a virgin, but my sister is. I can get her to Mr. Somo."

Justice gulped down a glass of vodka. His face was deadpanned, and his voice icy. "If she fails, you die. You don't mess with me."

Daniella looked for a way to run but the mere presence of his bodyguards sent her defense on reverse.

"And if she doesn't? What if she succeeds?" She said in a trembling voice, as she hugged her frame with her small hands.

"Well, Mr. Somo pays very well. We will settle your debt, and give you back whatever is leftover," Justice assured her and she believed him. Justice has always been a man of his words but also one to not mess with.

He is so skilled at what he does, which makes his boss, Mr. Somo to always trust his judgment. However, greed would always take Daniella to him. She has been involved in all manner of devices because of him and due to her insatiable hunger for expensive things she can't afford, she doesn't want to stop.

Daniella grinned at his statement. "Alright. Tonight it is," she said, lifting herself from the floor and wobbled due to the pain in her knee. It's not the first time she found herself in such a situation so she knew the pain would be long gone before the night.

"And remember. If you fail, not even your corps would not be enough to pay," Justice warned before she hurried out of the door.

Daniella gave a smile that did not reach her eyes and took a cab home.

From the door, Daniella could smell freshly-baked muffins and instantly knew her sister was at it again. Her stomach roared in hunger and anxiety, as she made her way to the small kitchen to speak with her twin sister for the first time since their parents died two months ago.

"Danica, can I have some of the muffins?"

Danica's eyes widened in shock. Her twin sister had never asked her for anything or accepted anything from her. She treated her like an enemy and blamed her for her misfortunes. This sounded like a complete surprise but this is just what she has been praying for. It seemed to her that God had finally answered her prayers.

"Why not?" Danica responded, placing some muffins before Daniella with a glass of milk on the small dining table. 

"Thank you," she mumbled and started eating. Danica stared on in shock, startling Daniella.

"Are you going to watch me eat?" The former asked, completely uncomfortable with her sister's gaze.

"No, I'm just surprised. You know, I've always wished for us to live like true sisters," Danica honestly said, shoving a strand of her brunette hair behind her ear.

Daniella gazed at her sister with hopeful eyes. She knew what she was going to say would be rejected without a second thought but her life depended on it. It's just going to be a one-night stand for Danica and Daniella would be free. To her, it wasn't a big deal.

"Great. Why don't you come to the pub with me tonight? A friend of mine is celebrating his birthday and he just wants people around."

A frown appeared on Danica's face. "I can't go to the pub. You know mum and dad-"

Daniella cut her before she could finish her statement. "Enough, Danica, they are dead. Even after their death, you are still being obedient to their grave. You are always the angel and me, what am I?" Daniella did not hide her anger.

Danica was calm. She expected her sister to flip so it wasn't a surprise when it happened. "Daniella, you know they loved you just as much as they loved me. You just never gave them a chance and kept asking for things they couldn't provide. There is more to life than expensive things, money and all. You know what, the best things in life, are for free. Look at the air you breathe, the life you have. You never paid for it and yet, you have it."

Daniella chuckled with disappointment. "Now you even talk like them. It's like death is not enough to keep them away since and they are living their second life through you. Hearing you talk like this, seems like they are still here and I hate it," Daniella yelled, pushing away the half plate of muffins.

"Look, Daniella, you don't have to stop eating your food. We can talk about this. Why don't we go to church together? There is Bible study this evening. It would be a great way to spend the night."

Daniella grew more furious at the mention of Bible studies. Of course, she couldn't tell her sister that her life was at stake and could only take her frustration on her. "Not another word, Danica, you come with me to the pub or you lose your sister. Choose now."

Danica bit her lower lip. Did she spend every day praying for God to unite her with her sister for this? Growing up, she has always followed biblical standards. Her dresses not being too short, little or no make-up, praying every morning and evening, not forgetting short prayers during meal times. She read her bible regularly and went to church every Sunday and sometimes, mid-week bible studies. 

This is what their parents taught them. A strict and firm Christian foundation but unlike Danica, Daniella was the black sheep of the family. She did as she pleased and obeyed no rules. She even lost her virginity as soon as she turned sixteen, standing on the fact that the law permitted so at sixteen.

With this contrast between them, the two sisters have lived like enemies. Things turned out worse when their parents died. Daniella was completely out of control and would go clubbing all night and be involved in all sorts of things, including borrowing money from the mafia, which she wasted on expensive shoes and bags.

Danica has always tried to bring unity amongst them but it all fell on cold shoulders. She resorted to prayer, as her parents did before, praying day and night, that a miracle would happen for Daniella to be like her sister Danica. It seemed to Danica that God must have heard her prayers and that of her late parents wrongly. If not, he wouldn't have put her into this situation.

"On one condition," Danica said reluctantly.

Daniella's eyes lit up. "What?"

"That you would go to church with me on Sunday," Danica proposed defeatedly

Numerous times failed but get Padma Shri Nomination for 2019 - Rajatkumar Dani founder of The Dani Groups

Rajatkumar went from a college dropout, to be the Founder & CEO of Founder & Managing Director of The Dani Groups & Cosmagen – A multi-service groups of company and Research firm built for the modern-day. I had the pleasure of interviewing Rajatkumar, Here’s what he had to say!

Rajatkumar: Growing up, the school wasn’t a choice for me. It was mandatory. I was always reminded by my friends, peers, coaches, parents of the cliché “Go to school, get good grades, play sports, train for the scholarships, and then get your degree so you can get a well-paying job.” This never sat well with me. I never really knew what I wanted to do, but that was just about the last thing I was interested in. Interestingly enough though, that’s exactly what I did.

I quickly found out that the education system was not the platform that would teach me the proper principles of high success. I looked around and compared the habits of college students and teachers against the habits of those who had already attained high performance and success, and (not) to my surprise, I found massive differences. College is sort of like pre-school for adults. No matter how similar to the real world it may be, it’s just not the real world.

As you may be able to tell already, I think very differently than a lot of people. Instead of going out every night, I stayed in my dorm room to work on research projects and theories on Space science & Astrophysics. The work I was doing pushed me to cultivate high-performance skills and put me in a position to build key relationships. In a few months’ time, I realized if I don’t go after my passions, I’ll be stuck at a desk job paying bills for the rest of my life. So I left.

My vision to encourage successful associations with youth and Young Researchers and Non-Researchers, youth-drove associations and youth developments to additionally fortify comprehensive youth investment in the basic leadership forms. To give instructive assets, Research Team, administration openings, and a worldwide system to the up and coming age of world pioneers. There was one problem. In India, you need a license to show your talent in front of the world. But nothing stopped to change the world and I change my everything and  I fell into bad habits, bad routines, and left room for complacency in my work.

I longed to know the answers to the age-old questions of “why am I here?” and “where do I come from?” Those questions were probably not as understandable in my mind as they seem when I recount them here and now, but they gnawed at me, just the same, on some primordial, undefined level of my genetic make-up.  Within every cognitive, rational human being lies that dark unanswered fog that rises to the surface every so often, want to have answers. And, yet, most of our lives, we move with slow through the years, totally unaware that those desires smolder deep down inside. We subconsciously suppress any wild, weird thoughts that there just might be answers beyond the domain of what we think we already know and accept. Human Beings walk around this world feeling absolutely unconnected to the greater world and universe around them. As a race, we have forgotten how to make this connectivity, and this ties into all aspects of how we recognize ourselves, our loved ones, our politics, our jobs and careers, our deities, our personal spiritualities, our place in the Order of Things.

Sure, like many kids growing up in India during the late ‘11s and 2012s, I asked my sir who knows about Hebrew Bible and I attended him at my uncles home and he taught about the Origins of Man from a Genesis-Chapter-One perspective. But I am not agreed on some points and I am thinking about his words. And for many years of my life, that was the only source point to which I subconsciously recognized. It was as if the stories of creation were settled long ago in that unquestioning little child’s understanding of How Things Work. The curiosities and questions that rose later in life from the mental depths were somehow summarily crushed by the teachings that had been put into my head so many years earlier.

But little did I know – for it was something that was never taught, but always skipped-over, avoided, misinformed or never mentioned – that the very book from which we dogmatically drew our genesis, held secretive, mysterious, encoded messages about origins, visitations and beings not of this world.  What was once accepted without question as to the mystical, magical, miraculous stuff of ancient biblical stories, suddenly took on a very different perspective once I opened myself to the idea that there was more to those stories that I had been told, and much more brewing under the surface of what I had been taught.

Remove yourself, for a moment, to a place somewhere in a more dark past, before the days of modern psychological discipline and scientific advance. A time when we, the human race, believed that our life’s fortunes, illnesses, pains, and serendipitous events were strongly rooted in the spiritual and the supernatural. As we evolved our technology and sciences, we learned more and more about the mind and body, universal expansion and entropy, geological tectonics, and the movement of our solar system around a somewhat smallish star that burned in the Milky Way galaxy. Along the way, we dispensed with our trust on the astronomical, casting aside our need for gods, devils and every cast of angel, demon, and spirit in between. We corporately tuned-out our hearts, and turned our minds to the methodological pragmatic, allowing Science and skeptical thought to successfully supplant faith in that great “Something-Bigger-Than-Ourselves.” Quantifiable Fact became the inevitable surrogate for the misty stuff of myth and legend. And while we may not have totally thrown out the baby with the bath water, we have successfully become a culture that discounts anything that cannot be measured by the Scientific Method, casting dispersions on experiential faith and even the slightest adherence to anything that smacks of an older spiritual belief system.

The supreme effort that occupies most of the recorded history of the Human Race – after the history of War, that is (which, sadly, seems to be synonymous with the History of Mankind) – is the great quest for discovery: the seeking-out of the whos, whats, wheres, whys and hows of our existence. And yet, while attempting, on that quest, to adhere to strict, quantifiable sources, we have let go the Spiritual; the innocuous, insubstantial, airborne flotsam that, when you actually look for it, seems to permeate every facet of being, down to the very spark of life, itself.

I wanted the real, raw, non-simulated experience of being punched in the mouth, and having no choice but to work my ass off to get the results I wanted. I was jolted awake by the stark reality that if I continue to allow my surroundings to dictate my actions, I would never achieve any of the goals I set for myself.

I will continue to grow and scale my agency to a National Space Agency, and hopefully, impact others on the way. I want other people to understand that we only have one life. Only one. If you don’t ever take the risk to chase your dreams, the probability of you living out that dream goes down to basically 0. So don’t be afraid. What’s the worst that can happen?

Wow! Amazing story, what are two things you wish someone told you when you first started?

80% of the obstacles you put in front of you are from yourself, and they’re fake obstacles. Just do the work.

The more time you think or strategize about what you’re going to do, some else is out there already doing it.

What sparked your journey towards entrepreneurship?

Rajatkumar: The idea that we only get one life, so we might as well make it the best life we’ve ever dreamt of. Research embodies that idea. Through massive pain and adversity, you’re able to live a life of total control and add tremendous value to other People’s lives at the same time. The most successful people live in comfort because they operate in a world of chaos.

None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? What lesson did you learn from them?

Rajatkumar: I’ve learned from a multitude of people. From  Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawkings, etc. The list goes on. I never had a direct mentor, but I surrounded my mind with positivity. I listened to successful people online, I listened to their podcasts, I invested me to learn new things, I read their books – and then I act on that information.
