Summary
Tanuki sees the man who killed his father and assembles a team of runners to roll up on him.
The Run
The runners find the location of Jin Yun, the man who killed Tanuki's father. They roll up on the location on his warehouse, where he had set up a trap as he had recognized Tanuki (as Tanuki is famous and has distinctive style). There are 4 49ers with Rocket Launchers ready to fire at Tanuki's and Twitch's vehicles, but the team, through rapid planning and sheer bullshit, manages to kill three of the 49ers before they can fire. The last rocket scratches the paint on Baby (Twitch's vehicle).
Suddenly, EVO HTR shows up and starts trying to kill Rambozo. Rambozo dodges with the help of Tanuki, but eventually a Fire Spirit manages to hug Rambozo. Rambozo gets slightly singed, but his grenades go off. The EVO Mage casts a massive Ball Lightning, but the runners avoid it. The EVO Mage, however, takes some spicy drain. Rambozo is fine, but Tanuki's vehicle is slightly damaged and the Fire Spirit is utterly destroyed. Then Rambozo and Trash Panda work together to fire rockets at the landing location of the EVO HTR right as they are about to land. Meanwhile, Kani takes out the Ares Roadmaster that Jin Yun is Rigging.
The Runners capture Jin Yun as the rest of the Triads break and run. They quickly question him, then execute him.

Tanuki
It is done. The man who killed my father is killed man to man, by my own hands, thanks to a number of my personal friends.
I thought I'd feel joy after knowing it's done. I do not. But neither do I feel the desolation of what I was warned might happen after getting revenge. I just feel relief.
Hai, the Triads might come after me for killing one of their Red Poles. And they're welcome to try. But it's still over. And now, I have a clown to figure out how to marry, and a street samurai with his little precocious daughter to visit and snuggle. Even with the damage to my car and the nasty bruise I have...today was a good day. I am content.
