The 1989 Akademi High Infiltration

(This page is a Work In Progress)

The 1989 Akademi High Infiltration was a major event in the X Main Timeline, and will play a huge role in The Protector series.

Beginning
After Ryoba Aishi murdered The Phantom Girl, James Smith was informed of the happenings, and personally investigated the case by infiltrating Akademi High to uncover the mystery killer. However, someone else was also looking into the case...

Arrival Of James Smith
By the time that James had arrived, the mystery killer had already murdered 3 people (excluding The Phantom Girl, as her death happened a month prior to the infiltration in this timeline). He had also learned that someone else was investigating the case, a man who would eventually be known as The Journalist.

Personal Feelings
James had heard of this man, and had somewhat admired him. However that admiration would quickly fade, as James' personal feelings for a student quickly began to overcome his duties as The Protector, a fact The Journalist quickly picked up on. James grew somewhat paranoid that this student may be killed, as only female students were being killed. Like The Journalist, he came to a conclusion that the killer was not only female, but was killing her love rivals so she could fall in love with her 'Senpai'. James however neglected to realize that Ryoba Aishi was actually the killer, due to her being the student that he loved. Having most of the evidence required to prosecute Ryoba, The Journalist, although skeptical of The Protector, decided to tell him who the real killer was. James' reaction was not what The Journalist expected, as The Protector began yelling at him, telling The Journalist that he was wrong and that he framed her. The Journalist realized that The Protector, and the man behind the mask, harbored deep feelings for Ryoba. Now viewing The Protector, and to an extent James Smith, as a threat, The Journalist cut off ties with the two and moved forward with the prosecution.

Aftermath
During the Ryoba Aishi Court Case, The Journalist was confronted by James Smith, and the latter intended to kill the former. James brutally attacked him, and very nearly killed him. However, James backed out at the last minute.
