NOTE: Nico is correctly identified as a naga, as said by his owner, but be careful of calling him a snake.

Nicholas Antikewaage, the naga shortly named Nico, hailed from Northern Germany, more specifically a town near the mountain infested with Todeswurm parasites. This meant that every resident there was a born bodybuilder, both big, strong and muscular. In his lifetime there, he used to hike up mountains, cut down trees on occasion, and work out. A high graduate himself, he had yet to get legitimate job for a living.

One day, a Hawaiian bar named 'Aloha Pub' was open in his hometown, so usually, many townspeople (including Nico) opted to check it out. There was some success when half its patrons were left satisfied, including Nico, who then developed his fascination in Hawaiian culture, to the point of buying a ukulele. Unfortunately, Aloha Pub was hit with thieves rubbing its property and mugging its patrons, so it was in a need for hiring bouncers, someone capable of guarding the bar and monitoring behavior of any patron they come across. No one in the mountain town was interested in that job, as they had essential ones, especially those deemed crucial for the town's growth, but Nico volunteered to become the bar's only bouncer. Having one bouncer alone, although effective, would only half the harassment against Aloha Pub, though there was one incident that caught national attention.

One night, a group of wolf hooligans in one van stopped by the mountain town and noticed Aloha Pub. Perturbed by its theme contrasting the town's appearance, they began harassing the bar, by breaking windows, destroying the furniture, and scaring away patrons. However, despite facing a group of bodybuilder-like patrons and Nico himself, the wolf hooligans were stupid enough to not only attack them, but to also ram into them with their own van, filled with incendiary explosives. Nico and two others were strong enough to stop the van, albeit getting resistance from the same wolves, but it gave enough time for nearby roaming soldiers to notice the situation and disarm the bombs. The wolf hooligans were taken away without further resistance, and the bar was closed earlier to clean up the mess.

Coincidentally enough, just an hour passed, the owner of Aloha Pub came across the commercial promoting the MALAKAS Project while having a coffee break. He was intrigued by the effects and benefits provided by the project, especially involving Timothy Soro, a son of the American miner the bar owner knew. Thankfully, the bar owner was rich, so he sent not only few of his employees, but his only bouncer Nico as well.

A group of four bar workers consisted of Andreas Finster (the Austrian bartender in form of a male gopher), Yvette Belt (the Southern German server in form of a female deer), Nicolette Wendelisky (the Polish janitor in form of a leopard), and Nicholas Antikewaage himself. A week later, Aloha Pub would be closed for few months, and the group of four flew into Santo Tomas in California via San Francisco. However upon riding into the mountain base, they also came across a local bar (named 'Rough Roundabout') near the gas station, just a mile away from the destination. Nico requested the bus to stop by there for a while, and the four were intrigued by what a rundown a bar had become, upon learning from the bar owner, named Rum Tucker the fat warthog, but the four had little time to respond as the bus driver was running out of patience over Nico's single request.

The next day was the very first time for Rosemary Soro to prove her worth as a successor of her older brother Timothy, the very first instructor. She was then assigned to look over Nico and Nicolette in training.

On Nico's side, he already proved himself a very good fighter to begin with, both in defense and offense, so he opted to specialize battering with heavy, blunt weapons. Nicolette was more concerned about agility.

Throughout their entire stay, the four barely had any conflict worth interesting, except four incidents that were close into an open conflict with beavers from the intruding Brisa Creek, but a dispatch of several Super Soldiers was enough to make those beavers back off.

Andreas and Nicolette were honorably discharged as simply Super Soldiers, but Nico and Yvette left with a temporary Juggernaut rank. Altogether, they flew back into the Northern German town, allowing the owner to reopen Aloha Pub, with a bigger success than last time. However, it also received a much bigger group of wolf hooligans. Filled with revenge, they packed up a punch with four vans, each filled with 10 gunner wolves, and initiated a surprise attack onto the bar, killing everyone inside except all bodybuilder patrons and bar stuff. Not even a sizeable group of soldiers was enough to fight them off. This prompted the latter to do those wolves the same, let it be strangling, punching, throwing away, or even smashing with a heavier object. All but one hooligan was decimated, and the surviving soldiers reported this serious incident to their general, causing a regionwide lockdown.

Aloha Pub was devastated beyond repair, with its owner also dead from gunshots, and there was nothing anyone could do to restore it. However, while other staff members decided to leave the mountain town, Nico remembered about Rough Roundabout and gathered up his three big comrades and two willing fellows on his trip into the US. Their first week of running another local bar was a slow success but a quick recovery from its former state, where all willing members were doing their specific roles as intended (and of course, Nico worked as a bouncer). Such a quick recovery was enough to impress Rum, who decidedly planned to return into his old job as a trucker, but to only deliver beverages, ingredients, furniture and other essentials needed for his bar. As he was excited to continue driving his old semi-truck, he also plotted to make Nico as his successor, an owner to the Rough Roundabout, for he saw a better potential in the naga who sought care for the bar and his fellow staff.

Unbeknownst to that local town, a patrol group of beavers stopped by there for a brief inspection, and concluded that it could serve a checkpoint for Brisa Creek to block off the entrance into the mountain base. The beavers then quickly left before a sheriff came out of the bar, and the said sheriff noticed the former with suspicion.
