(A/n: Officially out of Season 1. Guess that means no more op and Ed themes.)
————————-
Y/n is seen after a run with Yor, he was actually keeping up this time, "nice work, Y/n. Let's take a break for now."

"After this, I'll be the ultimate being! I'm practically untouchable!" Y/n stated as Yor flinched. Worry quickly grew on her face as Yor looks at Y/n, just as they stop their run. Y/n was panting but smiling bright, he started boxing the air, "watch this! Gah! Hut! Hiat! I'm as fast as lighting!"

Yor seemed to be more quiet than usual, she patted Y/n on the back. "you are a very smart boy, Y/n. But..."

She then ruffles the boy's hair a bit, "nobody is invincible... you're only human."

"Yeah..." Y/n looks at his hands, he then clenched his hands. "Human...sometimes I wish I wasn't.. too many weakness."

"Come on, we might be late if we don't head back." Yor gently smiled and got in a running position.

"Heh." Y/n activated his hover feature and started to zoom ahead, "RACE YA MOM!"

Yor was taken back but then smiled bright, she laughed and ran super fast. "YOU'RE ON!"
———
"My name is Sora Sherwood, and I'm a spy." Sora is seen in class, diligently working. Himiko had written several things on the board, while the students tried to solve some problems, "if I had to note the class, most of them keep to themselves..."

"And then this word means 'cute'." William explained to Y/n.

"Beautiful... why don't use just use Cookie?" Y/n asked.

"Hey! Silence!" Himiko glared as the two stooges straighten themselves out and worked on their papers again.

"Though as normal, there are some exceptions to this peace." Sora grunted and looked away. She then turned towards the three girls, muttering to themselves, "however, as much as I don't like my mission, I take it very seriously."

One of the girls is seen with a pie, about to toss at Y/n's head in the lunch room. However, Sora adjusted her watch, turning a dial which shot a dart out at the girl. "Ugh...so...sleepy..."

The girl fell to the ground with the pie right in her face. The whole class looked at her, "Um...you good there?"

"She can't suffocate like that right?" Y/n questioned.

William took a bite of his sandwich, turning Y/n's head away, "we never saw anything. It's for the best."

Later, another girl had a slingshot, "gotta get Y/n back, that's all I care about!"

Anya is seen looking at her shocked, "she's trying to hurt Ba!"

"I've been dealing with these girls all day, do they never learn?" Anya heard the thoughts of Sora, who she was walking past. Sora was looking at the scene from the corner of a wall, but she noticed Anya, "huh? This is...Twilight's child, right?"

"She knows about the mission!?" Anya noticed all the gadgets, "she's got gadgets like Ba! Is she a spy!?"

Anya then imagined Sora and Ba battling it out, she grew fear, before she then imagined them together, "so exciting!"

"Anya wants to help." Sora was confused with Anya's words.

"What? Sorry, I don't think that will work." Sora bluntly said and threw a perfume bottle, the bottle went off and a gas came off. Coughing was heard before another body slumped to the floor.

"Fast!" Anya shouted in her head. Sora looked down the hall to see Y/n was gone.

Though as Sora walked away, Delilah is shown in front of her. The air seemed to get colder, with the two having a slight glare, "Desmond."

"Should I ask why you're following Y/n around?" Delilah asked the girl, with some suspicion and annoyance.

"I must've not been stealthy enough... no. This brat's just watching my every move." Sora walked past her, bumping her shoulder along the way, "that's none of your concern."

"We'll see about that." Delilah stated loud enough so even the fleeing Sora could hear.

"Ba's got his work cut out for him..." Anya looked at the interaction with curiosity.

A montage then shows Sora stopping the three girls various schemes throughout the day. Sora is seen panting on the stairway as the final school bell is about to ring. Y/n and William are seen walking down the hall, "man; she didn't have to chew us out like that."

"That's only because you brought that wine again." Y/n says, but notices someone. "Hey, I'll meet you back in the classroom."

"Huh?" William noticed what Y/n was looking at, and started to wiggle his eyebrows, "I see~ go on~"

"Hey." Y/n walks over, as Sora turns around. The coldness from the bottle sent a shiver down her spine, "here you go."

Sora was confused, "what's this?"

"It's water." Y/n simply said while taking a seat.

"I mean, why are you giving it to me?" Sora asked, with more aggression than the last time.

"I saw you were tired, and figured you could need this." Y/n revealed. Sora scoffs before looking at the bottle, "you doing okay?"

"Why do you care?" Sora asked, waving the bottle around in her hands, "you trying to get something from me?"

Sora then looks into Y/n's eyes. A detail she never noticed he had, but the boy had light covered eyelashes. She started to remember a certain someone who had the same kind of thing, "Wait...now that I think about it... he kinda looks a lot like 'Her'... it couldn't be..."

Sora let it go and chuckled, with a loveable smirk. "How'd you even get this?"

Y/n is seen using his A.R lenses to punch the weak spot of a vending machine. The machine starts to malfunction and spits out a water bottle.

Y/n gave a straight face, he was sweating from the sides of his face, "you know, it's best not to worry about it."

Sora chuckled with a light blush, giving a toothy grin at Y/n. "Aye-ays, Cap'N."

Y/n blushed a little but smiled as well, "don't mess up now."
————-
"What? You want a dog as a reward?" Loid asked Anya, that same night after school.

"I need a dog for peace!" Anya stated.

Y/n crossed his arms, "a peace of mind...?"

"Well, I was thinking of buying you some sort of reward..." Loid admits.

Yor looks at Anya, leaning in, "a dog, huh...I'll give it some thought."

"The building does allow pets so..." Y/n held his chin, "but could we handle it? All the dogs in my time went extinct. I guess it could be okay."

"A well trained dog might have the side benifit of improving security here." Loid thought to himself.

"Dogs can be so ferocious, I'd worry about Anya getting bitten to death." Yor imagined a big dog bitting Anya's stomach.

Anya read her mind and got worried, "I...I want a cute dog...a small one..."

"Oh, alright..." Loid replied while Yor imagined a tiny dog carrying a knife and slicing Anya's throat, "well, even small dogs can be quite capable. Maybe I'll get the agency to procure us one. Let's go visit some pet shops over the weekend."

The camera zooms out and then shows two men walking down a hallway, "you got any buyers lined up?"

"Mm. Times are pretty tough out there." one of them was carrying a bucket, "got a bunch of bastards fancyin' themselves revolutionaries... they planning to use 'em as bomb dogs or something?"

"These ones are in pretty sorry shape too. They really got messed up with, in order to turn 'em into playthings for people." one of the men turned the key to a cell, "those 'Germada' soldiers also wanted some for their 'playmate'."

One of the men looked down at some of the cages, "number 3 and 5 aren't lookin' so hot."

"Not my problem, all right?" the man kept walking.

"Yeah, these dogs don't look all that bright. And it's so loud in here."

One of the dogs had their ear twitch. An image of Y/n, Loid, Yor, and Anya smiling at it appeared. The dog then rose.

————
"Moving on to International news... a delegation from Westalis led by Foreign Minister Brantz landed at Belint Airport yesterday afternoon. The Ministerial level summit between East and West begins tonight and is expected-" the newscaster spoke out.

Men are seen suspiciously boxes into the van. However, they were actually crates for dogs. Men are seen smiling, "okay, everything's ready."

"Then let's get started."
———-/
"Doggie woggie! Bow wow!" Anya sang a little melody as the family walked down the street. She was holding onto Yor's hands. Y/n was adjusting the compression gauntlet hidden under his jackets, "doggie! Woggie! Bow wow wow!"

Anya looked at Loid, "do doggies eat peanuts? I wanna give it some."

Loid bluntly says, "I don't think that's a very good idea."

Anya held her head down,  "awwww..."

Yor leaned forward with a smile, "let's give the doggie food that it likes!"

"The destination for Today's family outing...er, I mean, the objective of Today's phase of operation Strix... the pet shop. Anya has requested a dog as a reward for achieving her first Stella Star. It is imperative that we keep her motivated to earn the eight Stella stars necessary to join the honors society. Hopefully, this will also encourage Y/n to aim for Stella Stars." Loid narrated to himself.

Y/n opened the pet shop, "alright, Sparkplug, here we are."

"Gonna get a doggie! Bow wow wow!" Anya cheered before...

Loid looked at the shopkeeper, "don't you have any dogs that are...smaller and more appealing."

"Um...let me check with a breeder associate of mine..." the shop keeper held their chin.

"Me strong."

"Me got big muscles."

"I don't like these dogs at all." Anya bluntly says after reading their mind.

"They do seem a little ferocious." Yor added.

"You know, they're having an adoption fair at the animal shelter today." the shopkeeper suggests.

"Okay, we'll go take a look." Loid says before he noticed a man hidden, giving an O with his hands, "Hm...? I'm being given new orders...?" Loid started to act like he was shaking. "Sorry, but I'm...having some bowel issues right now. Why don't you three go on ahead? The shelter's right by the station."

"Loid, are you okay? We'll just wait here for you!" Yor got worried.

"Papa takes a real long time to take a crap so we should go." Anya smiled.

"Oh, I...I see: I guess that's fine, then... let's go, Y/n." Yor blushed.

"I appreciate her backing my play...but...uh..." Loid blushed, but he was soon seen on the car, far away from the pet shop, "hey! You didn't say anything about taking me all the way to Hq! My family's going to get suspicious!"

"It's an emergency summons. If you have a problem with that, take it up with your handler." the man started to explain.

Loid was shocked, "an assassination plot against Foreign Minister Brantz?!"

"We think they're planning to strike at the summit tonight. The plotters are a group of isolationist college students from Berlint University, but they are back up by the ones that call themselves the Germada." the man handed Loid a debriefing, "we got lucky and caught one of them skulking around the embassy. They're interrogating him now... but he won't tell us anything about the Germada or his accomplices."

"And that's why you need me?" Loid asked.

"I know it's got to be tough balancing your mission and parenthood." the man got both hands back on the wheel.

"Parenthood is part of my mission." Loid sighed, "it's a sign of the times, I guess.. when even kids like this are becoming terrorists."

A man is seen tied up in a chair as Sylvia Sherwood, Sora's mother, walked in. "I told you, I haven't got anything to say to a western whore like you. I'm not selling out my friends."

"Oh, that's fine. We're done with you." Sylvia stated, "we've caught your leader, after all."

"?!" they grabbed him and started to move him, down the hallway, they saw his buddy. "Keith!!"

Keith freaked out, "TH-THAT'S THE GUY! THE WHOLE PLAN WAS HIS IDEA! NONE OF US WANTED ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME! DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

"WHAT?!" the man was shocked, "Keith, what are you saying?!"

"Just shut up and walk." Sora says as she directed Kieth away.

"I PROMISE I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING IF YOU LET ME GO!" he shouted before sticking his tongue out at his pal.

"Is...is he seriously planning to frame me for this?!"

"Quite the loyal friend you have there." Sylvia gained cold eyes, "honestly, I couldn't care less which of you is the leader. As far as we're concerned, the good guy is whoever tells us what we need to know. Now, as punishment for your crime-"

"WAIT! I'M TELLING YOU, IT WASN'T ME! I'M NOT THE LEADER!" the man broke, "HE WAS THE ONE THAT CAME TO US WITH THE PLAN!"

Sylvia smiled, "Hm. Maybe we do have something to talk about, then."
——
"It's a good thing we were able to find some footage of that Kieth fellow, huh?" the man looked at Keith.

"Hardly, you came expect to get a convincing performance based on just a few minutes away of old home movies." Loid ripped off his disguise, "if that kid had been any sort of pro? He'd have seen right through it."

"How'd it go?" Sora walked in as Loid looked at her.

"It's going well. Thanks for your hard work." Loid thanked her.

"You did teach me, Twilight. As well as Mom, I should be thanking you." Sora bowed.

"You want me to take you back to the shop?"

"No. I want to hear what he has to say."

"There's also Kevin and Kim from the school of engineering. Those are all the active members of the college kids I know of. For our base of operations, we used a warehouse near the university and a room above a bar on 11th street." the man folded.

"And how exactly were you planning to conduct this assassination?" Sylvia asked.

"Dogs. The plan was to strap bombs to a dozen or so dogs-I don't know exactly how many- and sent them at him when he's on the move."

Sylvia grew with fear and jolted, "bomb dogs...?"

"That's not good. Trained dogs like that wouldn't be easy to stop." Sora started to sweat.

"Ridiculous. The training necessary to prepare even a single dog for combat costs as much as a small middle. No way could a mere college kids pull that off." Loid glared.

"And the Germada, what do they get out of this?" Sylvia asked with urgency.

"I don't know. They said that this was destined to happen. They kept claiming it was time to come out of the shadows and kill 'the kid'."

"What kid?" Sylvia froze, "are they planning on tearing up a city just to get this child?"

"I don't know. They just gave us a description. Some kid with purple eyes and high technology. I think these guys are too shady to be worked with, but Keith says you never know what they could bring."

Loid suddenly got a worried feeling, his mind instantly flashed to Y/n, "Wha-? Could Y/n be apart of all this? No. It couldn't be. What could they possibly gain from killing a kid?"

"You know something?" Sora asked Loid.

Loid closed his eyes, he imagined Y/n's smile and the two watching the stars. Loid opened his eyes, "no, I don't."

Soon, the whole gang regrouped. "As you've heard, we have a problem on our hands. We need to get the jump on these terrorists and stop the attack."

Loid was confused, "What about canceling the summit?"

"I don't think that's an option. It'd be a major embarrassment to Ostania's ruling party. We'd be playing right into the hands of their opposition. With the Germada involved, we'll need forces to take them out of spotted around the city." Sylvia started to give out the order, "I want you to surreptitiously leak what we've learned to the officials of the ruling party. I'm sure they want to avoid an incident as much as we do. And Twilight, I'm afraid I'm going to need your help a little longer."

"Understood."

"With relations between east and west at the brink already...if the public were to find out about this, even a failed assassination attempt could push them over then edge. We need to do whatever it takes to head this off." Sylvia stated.

Two dogs are seen being walked by suspicious men, "I'm gonna grab a coffee. Wait here for a minute. You dogs be good now, all right?"

"Heh, these are some pretty smart doggos." one of the men said.

"Yeah. A bit long in the tooth, though."

The big white dog from before had his ear twitch. He looked at the running boy before dashing after him, pulling his shirt back, "HEY, GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

"Waaahhh! He's gonna eat me!" the small child panicked as a board fell down a building, narrowly missing the kid.

"Whoa, a board just fell offa building!"

"It almost hit a kid!"

"Scared me to death..."

The child looked at the dog, "did you just save me...? Thank you..."

The dog let off a woof before turning back, "sorry the dog got away from me there! Bad dog! I told you to stay!"

The other man came out of the shop, "what happened?"

"Ah; this one suddenly ran off." the man with glasses, "are these dogs really gonna be up for this?"

"Well, it's too late to change the plan now. We rehearsed and got the site all staked out. In fact, we better head back. You know what a pain Kieth can be when he's pissed off."
———————-
Meanwhile, the three forgers are at the animal shelter. All three seemed equally excited, "this is the adoption fair? It's huge! I wonder why Loid didn't take us here in the first place."

"Teeny doggies! Kittens! Bunnies!" Anya started to run around.

Y/n got worried, "hey! I don't wanna lose you in this crowd. Ya gotta stay close:"

Yor crouched down, "Y/n's right. You're not to leave the dog area by yourself. Are we clear?"

"Okay, I won't." Anya nodded.

Yor noticed a dog in the distance, "oh my gosh! Look how cute this Dachshund is! Those short little legs!"

"Short legs are cute? Does that means I'm cute?" Anya then started to pant from looking at all the dogs.

Y/n chopped her head, "hey, calm down, virus."

"What?" Anya got annoyed at Y/n.

Yor looked at Y/n, with her hand out, "bag please."

Y/n got nervous, he put his head down and handed the bag of gadgets to Yor. She patted his forehead, "thank you,"

"Are you looking for a dog to adopt?" a woman started to talk to Yor, meanwhile Anya and Y/n looked out the window.

The white dog from before showed up, "that doggie is huge!"

"He's huge!" Y/n shouts in shock.

Anya and the dog suddenly made eye contact before Anya saw the image of the four forgers, "huh..?! That's us! Was I...reading that doggie's mind? But Papa was there..."

"Get moving! What's wrong with you?" the man walking him shouted.

The guys then entered a building. Y/n hummed, "something's..."

He noticed a red flash in the man's pocket, a familiar emblem. Y/n's worry only grew, "No way, I haven't seen them this whole time. Why would they be here...?"

"After them!" Anya suddenly said, as Y/n sighed.

"Fine, but you follow and listen to me. Understood?" Y/n demanded as Anya nodded. The two snuck out of the building before entering the warehouse. "What is this place?"

"Where'd that doggie go?" Anya asked as the two leaned around a corner. Y/n started to shift his gauntlet out. He slowly opened a door only to see the dog and a few others. "Doggie! Who are you...?"

The dog wined, Y/n looked around, "yeah, Germada tech." he crouched and looked at the Germada guns and tech around, he gained a shadow over his eyes, "we have to be very careful. One wrong move could be the end."

"We don't wanna draw attention to ourselves!"

"Aw, it'll be fine! With this adoption fair thing, there'll be lots of people out with dogs."

Y/n activated his lenses and looked through the door, to see Keith and even more people, "today is the day. If this plan succeeds, it'll put an end to the collision between East and West. Minister Brantz's death will be the catalyst of the war that restores Ostania to its former glory...and sends those arrogant Western Pigs to their knees!"

"TO THEIR KNEES!"

"That's not good! Anya, we need to-!" Y/n suddenly heard someone behind him, "shuttle."

"What are you guys thinking!?" the man busted the door open, but Y/n quickly punched the man's atom apple and slammed his knee into his face, knocking him out.

"Shit! What's a bunch of kids doing here!?"

"What do we do?! They probably overheard everything!"

"We do the only thing we can do..." Kieth picked up a Germada sword, with a plasma blade coming out of the hilt, "we take care of it."

Y/n immediately got into assassin's mode, "I've never actually killed someone, I hope they don't force my hand..."

Y/n moved Anya behind him, "stay behind me."

"Ba...!" Anya started shaking, nervous and realizing that Y/n was nervous. An emotion that she was not used to seeing in her brother.

"Come on, Keith! They're just kids!"

Keith started to walk forward, "when they rat us out to mommy and daddy, it's all over. So there's only one choice."

"Arf! Arf!" the white dog from before appeared before the two kids, "WOOF!"

"Doggy!" Anya shouted.

The men were shocked, "that same dog's gone nuts again!"

"Guess the training didn't take?"

"Yer barking' at your own side, stupid! Imma shut you up!" one of the men held a pipe.

The dog moved behind the kids, "WOOF!"

"Dumb dog!"

"Do not damage that carrier." Kieth glared.

"But we gotta shut it up somehow!"

"Relax. No one's gonna think anything of a barking dog today."

Y/n started to sweat and tried to use his mind to think of a way out. But with two things to worry about, he didn't know how to proceed. Meanwhile, Yor is seen running around the Animal Shelter, "ANYAAAA!! Y/N, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Excuse me, have you seen a little girl? Kind of looks like this? With a blue coat?" Yor darted at other people, "what about a boy, purple eyes, slightly tall?"

"Haven't seen them."

Yor started to panic. She glanced back and forth before leaping towards the ceiling, "they're gone. They aren't anywhere in the hall! Oh no...could a dog have eaten them? No, calm down. That doesn't happen. Besides, Y/n knows how to stop that, that means he's with her. But if their both missing...WERE THEY KIDNAPPED?!

"There has been a rash kidnappings into the city of Ariane, as young women are being abducted and forced to marry-"

An imaginary man is seen stabbing Y/n and kidnapping Anya, "hehe, my blushin' bride!"

"Oh no! Some creep is going to force poor Anya to marry him and kill Y/n! And Loid isn't here! What do I do? What can I do!!" Yor started to pace back and forth, "please Loid! Hurry back from that bathroom!"

Some agents are seen with guns as they open a storage unit. But there was nothing in there, "it's been abandoned...?"

A phone is seen ringing as Sylvia picks it up, "hello, Twilight? Both of the hideouts he told us about were deserted. Any luck on your end?"

"Actually yes. One of the conspirators rented two white wand under the name 'Kevin Knowles.' I'll read you the plate numbers..." Loid is seen in front of the car rental shop.

Sylvia jotted down the numbers, "nice work. We'll track them down. Oh, and we found a solid lead on the source of the dogs. In fact, the name might ring a well for you... 'project apple.' It was a research initiative conducted by the previous Ostanian Regime to produce highly intelligent animals for military purposes."

"I remember it well. They were churning out experiments at a frantic pace until it was killed by the new administration." Loid admitted, "I heard they weren't anywhere close to achieving their goals when the plug was pulled."

"That's correct. But we've heard rumors that the former test subjects found their way to the Black Market instead of being destroyed..." Sylvia informed the spy.

"and that's how these terrorists and the Germada for them?" Loid asked.

"It's quite likely. They might be the subjects of a filed experiment, but these dogs could still be trained or possess enhanced intelligence. We have no idea what they might be capable of, so be careful." Sylvia warned, but also tapped her pen. "With the Germada, rumors have it that they've infiltrated the ranks of the political world. There was no other conceivable way for these terrorists to get their weapons without anyone batting an eye. There are no traces of them in any cameras around the city."

"These guys are as good as us. But I can't figure out what they want." Loid slammed his fist on the telephone box.

"Maybe it's as simple as it seems. Kill the kid." Cuts back to Y/n in front of the dog and Anya, as the dog growled at them.

"I don't have to tell you to back off, now do I?" Y/n lifted up his arms for a fight. Keith swung his sword at a metal box, and sliced it like butter.

"Step away from the dog, kids. I'll promise I'll make this quick." Keith says before Anya looks at the dog. Another image appeared in her mind.

"Huh, a phone?" Anya looked around as the dog chomped on Anya's jacket. Meanwhile, Y/n noticed a plan forming.

"C'mon, we gotta get this over with before..." a phone started to ring as everyone turned around.

"Scared the crap outta me..."

"Who the hell would be calling us now?" one of the men picked up the phone, "hello? Oh, hey, Kim. What...? You gotta be kiddin' me! Keith, we got a big problem! Some shady characters just raided two of our hideouts!"

"What??"

"Have the secret police caught onto us?!"

"Damn."

"How'd they know? Did someone sell us out?"

Keith gritted his teeth, "no one's heard from Kris all day. I hate to say it, but..."

"Good thing we decided to move."

"Don't let this rattle you, guys. We shift to plan B, just like we- huh?" Keith turned around to see Y/n and the rest gone, "WHERE THE HELL DID THE KIDS GO?!"

Y/n is seen sliding down the stair railing as Anya rides the dog's back. "Are you my friend, Doggy? How did you know the phone was going to ring? Can you... see the future...?"

"Anya! You need to head back with Yor! I have to leave!" Y/n says as he started to hover through the ground faster, he went a different way from the others. "With the Germada's equipment, this whole thing just got ten times more dangerous."

"HUH?!" Anya was shocked when she realized the dog was following Y/n, "no, doggy! Go into that building! Mama will save us! No, not this way! That way!"

Yor looked out the window, only to see Y/n running with his hover soles and Anya on the dog, "AAAAHHHH!!"

"I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY!" Y/n shouted as he then took off into the sky, "I need to head back home real fast. I can get the stuff I need to handle the rest."

Yor was in disbelief, "IS THAT Y/N!? AND ANYA RIDING A DOG?!"

Keith looked out the window with his sword in hand, "Damnit! What the hell were you thinking!?"

"We were...distracted by the phone.."

"What does it even matter at this point? Let's just get the plan in gear!"

"They've seen our faces, you morons!" Kieth rushed to the window, "Kurt, come with me, call the Germada, and bring one of the dogs. GET THE MAPS OFF OF THE WALLS! WE'RE DITCHING THIS PLACE! YOU ALL GET TO THE TARGET AREA AND SPREAD OUT!"

"Doggy, stop! Let me down!" Anya shouted.

"Aww, would you look at that?" A couple smiled at them.

"Somebody help! I'm being chased by bad guys!" Anya shouted.

"So cute! Are they playing tag?"

"This doggy runs so fast! So fast!" Anya looked ahead with stars in her eyes, "so exciting! Okay, then doggy! Let's just run like this to the police."

The dog was confused, "you and me together..are gonna save the day! And then starlight Anya will shine again!"

The dog went in a circle however and they ran into Kieth and Kurt, "that was easier than I figured."

"We're back where we started!" Anya panicked. "Doggy, you have no sense of direction... TURN AROUND, DOGGY!"

But the dog the baddies brought blocked them off as Keith grabbed Anya's dog's leash, "you're not going anywhere. Kill her. Do it fast."

"Y-Yeah..." Kurt grabbed Anya, "nothing personal, kid."

Yor appeared in the air behind the man with a dark shadow covering her whole face. She kicked the man so hard, he bounced off the walls and ground. Yor held Anya close as everyone was shocked, "I will make you pay, you child-stealing perv! ANYA'S MUCH TOO YOUNG TO BE YOUR BRIDE!! I ONLY JUST GOT MARRIED MYSELF!!"

"...?! What...?!"

"Wait! I can't let Anya out of my sight again!" Yor rushed to tie up the criminal. "Looks like you've learned a hard lesson today, Mr. Kidnapper. I'd better talk to the police."

"Are you okay, doggy?" Anya looked at the puppy as he wobbled.

"What's the story with this dog?" Yor asked.
——————
"What?! Terrorists and...bomb dogs!?" Yor looked over the dog, "bombs?! I don't see any bombs... Phew..."

"This doggy saved my life." Anya smiled.

"And Y/n is safe as well. Though it sounds like he's planning on doing something about all this.." Yor worried a little bit. "I have to help Anya right now. And then Y/n, please hold on. Well, in any case, I'm glad you're safe! I was so worried about you!"

"....yes, that's exactly what happened." Yor is seen on the phone as Anya and the dog sat down. "That's right. One of them is lying unconscious right here. On no, I'm just a housewife who stumbled into all this!"

The dog started to twitch as the ears perked up. "Um... doggy?" Anya looked at it, "are you...seeing the future right now?"

The image of the four members of the Forger family shifted and changed. Y/n and Loid were gone. Anya froze, "papa and Ba just...disappeared?!"

The clock tower rang, "huh? Where's that."

The building exploded, Anya is seen standing in front of the rubble. Loid is seen dead under the rubble. Y/n is seen with a bullet wound in his neck, he bled out on the ground. "NO!!"

"Westalis has declared that they hold the Ostanian Government responsible for the minister's assassination at the hands of violent extremists today. Many observers now believe that a military conflict is all but inevitable..."

Anya snapped out of it and looked at the dog, "that's what's going to happen?!" Anya started to shake the dog, "that future is horrible! Papa and Ba die! World peace gets disrupted!"

"Anya, stop that! You leave that dog alone!" Yor scolded.

"Papa and Ba die from the attack? Should I tell Mama? Maybe she can save them? But I can't let her know about our super powers!" Anya thought to herself, "doggy...if we try really hard, can we change the future? Can you still run?"

"WOOF!"

"Mama, I'm really sorry... I just remembered something..." Anya and the dog ran away, "papa went to poo, but he doesn't have any toilet paper! I need to bring him some before it's too late!!"

"Anya, what on earth are you-?! This again!?" Yor started to hang up the phone, "SORRY, I NEED TO GO! PLEASE COME AND ARREST THIS MAN AS SOON AS YOU CAN!"

"Handler! We just intercepted a report that terrorists have been sighted in an alley near central station!" a man walked into Sylvia's office, "the descriptions given by an eyewitness match those of our student suspects!"

"So they're on the move! Figure out what routes they could be taking from there, and position our teams along the way. Stop any van that matches those plate numbers!" Sylvia ordered, "but be careful— they might be carrying explosives!"

The van full of the terrorists on the city had to stop, as several officers and agents had them surrounded, "h-how..?"

Cuts to the four being blindfolded and slammed against a wall, handcuffed. One of the men got out a radio, "this is Alpha team. Target secured. We've detained four conspirators and three dogs. We also found a case that we believe contains explosives."

"Bravo team here. We caught three members as well: but their leader, Keith Kepler, is not among them. We're continuing to search the-"

Keith is seen behind a wall, hiding from the agents, "they found us! Are they secret police? No...goons from the west, maybe? Now what am I gonna do? The conference starts in two hours! We still have bombs in one location they haven't found yet...I gotta do it! Even if it means doing it solo!"

"Spill it!"  one of the agents grabbed a man by the shirt, "where's Keith, and where were you gonna set off the bombs!?"

"Have any of you...ever killed anyone before?" Sylvia grinds her heel into the man's nose, "have you ever been killed before?"

"OBVIOUSLY NOT, YA DUMB BROAD!" one of the men shouted.

"Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell?" Sylvia started to load her gun, "have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh?"

"What are you going on about, lady?"

"Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings on a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown off piece of your lover stuff to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry you tried to eat tree bark? Have you ever steered human flash in a pot? Have you ever had to lie to a child that their family is coming back?" Sylvia raised the gun.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city. Keith attaches the bomb to a dog, "you got it? Once you lock on to the minister's scent, don't lose it! I'm counting on you, pooch."

"WOOF!"

"Now that they have the others, probably even our plan B positions have been compromised. If that's the case, security around the clock tower will be intense. I gotta come up with something..." Keith started to gain an idea and smirk, "unless... I can use that fact to lure those pigs into a trap and get rid of 'em! Oh yes, just you wait, little piggies...I'm gonna blow the whole lot of you to kingdom come!"

"We need teams at each other the four potential locations." Sylvia ordered once again, "Twilight, I want you at position B1, as that's where they're most likely to be."

"It's that pointy clock thing! Right there, doggy!" Anya pointed the dog towards the clock tower, "THAT'S WHERE PAPA'S AND BA'S GONNA DIE!! WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!"

"FREEZE!" a man in red and black armor aims his hand at the two, the glove started to glow. The two lifted in the air, and were thrown down the alley.

"WHAAAAH!!" Anya and the dog slammed across the ground.

The man raised a gun, "the targets have been spotted."

"Wait, why are you-!" Anya asked as the man gave a back hand to her with his gun, "whaaahh!!"

Anya started to cry but the man kicked her stomach to try and shut her up as the dog growled at the man before the man raised the gun again. The girl was starting to bleed from the small wounds. "The two that got away. Nothing personal kid."

A small device was shown rolling on the ground. Anya and the man looked at it, smoke rang out between the two as the man immediately grabbed the girl and kicked the dog away. Y/n is seen through the smoke as his metallic figure steps towards the two. Anya sheds tears of joy as the man holds her up. "Now, surrender you-..."

Y/n's eyes dark violet, as a shadow covered his face. From a glance, it looked like a mix of Yor's and Loid's pissed off faces. But Y/n's...much more blood thirsty as his eyes were literally glowing. He, in reality, had a pissed off face nothing like his two parents. Y/n slammed his gauntlet into the man's face in an instant, "GAH-!"

Y/n then with a swift upper kick, launched the man into the air. Y/n slid on the ground to catch Anya, holding her head against his chest. "Big brother..."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Y/n was silent and looked at Anya's wounds, he wrapped a bandaid and bandages on her small wounds. Anya read his mind, just as he simply put her down and started to walk, not run, walk towards the man. "No more. No more. No more. No more."

The man got up with a small wobble, taking out a knife, "gre, I may be out of bullets, but I'm not out of options."

He charged at Y/n, who held the same merciless face and lifted his foot up, firing a blast of compressed air at the man, knocking him straight down. Y/n then slammed his foot on the man, leading to blood coming out of the man's mouth due to the impact. The blood flowed high into the air, like water from a geyser erupting. Y/n's boots latched onto the man's body as three metal claws attached to the body, "GRAAAA! IT HURTS!!! Please! I'll give you anything you want!"

"You'd just go after us again." Y/n grabbed the man's head with his gauntlet, as the gauntlet put a box around his face. Y/n then pushed a button and clenched his fist so the man's head gets brought to his fist, just as Y/n is punching outwards, leading to a never ending cycle. Y/n kept on punching the man on the ground, again. And again. And again. And again. His knuckles got bloody, and Anya backed up a bit scared as the grunts of the man was the only thing heard. Anya tried to read Y/n's mind, "no more, no more. No more."

The man, who was starting to go limp. And soon there were no words, Bond and Anya backed up, "I can't hear that man's thoughts anymore..."

Y/n stood up, but the aura around him changed. He rose with the blood all over his face, staining the metal he was working with. It wasn't like Yor or Loid, there was a aura of his own. Y/n looked back at Anya and the dog, "there's more coming. No matter what, Dog, you protect Anya. Don't worry about me. Okay?"

Y/n spoke in a bland tone, standing above the body. The dog slowly nodded, meanwhile Y/n had a poker face on. Anyone looking wouldn't help able to tell any of his emotions, to some extent, the bloodlust or determination radiating was dissipated.

Anya tried to read his mind, but there was nothing.

Nothing she could use nor latch onto.

She just had to go off the stone cold look Y/n has.

And the blood, dripping through the metal and past his hands.

Anya tried to calm down, "Ba! We have to get to the clock tower."

Y/n looked at him, but he didn't show any sort of reaction whatsoever. He simply nodded, he activated his lenses to see plenty of Germada soldiers. "Lead the way."

Y/n activated his hover shoes and took off. Anya latched onto the dog, "come on! We have to hurry!"

"GET HIM!!" some of the members of the Germada aim their guns at the three. Y/n uses his hover boots and lenses and quickly dashed to a rooftop, giving a axe kick, which broke through all the head armor one of the men had, killing them in a single strike. On the rooftop, a gun was fired, Y/n dodged it and slid on the ground, tripping the woman. Once she was on the ground, he placed his hover shoes on her throat, before activating, sending a blast of compressed air, crushing her spine and throat. In the distance, a man in red and black armor aimed their gun at the other two. Y/n pulled out a ray gun, firing red rings at the man. The man started to cough as bumps and their skin started to deteriorate. Y/n put the cancer ray away before leaning his head to the left, dodging another knife attack. The woman went for a high spinning roundhouse kick, which Y/n weaved out the way. Y/n went for a left hook, a right hook, and then a jab. Though all were blocked, it still chipped away at the armor. Y/n did similar movements but finished with an uppercut, breaking the armor. Y/n then gave a flying knee attack which cracked the woman's head upwards.

Y/n quickly landed back on the ground as blasted off with the hover shoes. Y/n tosses yellow discs at a tower of foes in the distance, the shockwaves sent them all into the air. While Anya and the dog rushed through the city, Y/n punches a man through the armor, as the jaw completely shatters. He follows them from afar. They soon arrived, "we got to the tower! This is where they're gonna die?! But I don't see them!?"

Y/n soon landed on the ground, his metal and outfit were still a bit bloody. Anya shook the dog, "doggy, show me the future again!"

"Anya," Y/n simply crouched, looking at Anya's eyes. He had the same poker face on, and the fact that Anya couldn't read his mind scared her, "what did the future show?"

"I'm sure that clock was going 'Dong Dong' during an explosion. The hands were like this." Anya did hand movements with her body.

Y/n seemed to understand, "so a little less then thirty minutes..."

The dog moved the two out of way, "what is it, doggy?!"

Keith got out of the car, Y/n aimed his ray gun, "one shot, one kill."

"Please, no more." Anya pulled on Y/n's bloody shirt. She now had some blood on her hands. The sight made Y/n wince.

"Fine, still, better not be seen." Y/n pulled Anya around the corner.

Kieth's dog rushed out the door, "hey, back in the car! What is it?"

The dog looked at the gang, Anya panicked, "did it see us?!"

They all froze before Keith pulled on the leash, "I said, get back in the car!! Dumb dog!"

"Luckily I recorded all of this." Y/n says as Keith gets back in the car.

"I need to get outta here before someone notices me. I just gotta hope that trap I threw together does the trick!" Kieth thought.

"Ba! The explosions are his doing!" Anya whispered.

"I see..." Y/n activated his lenses and sees the bomb in a different building, "that son of a unit, what about all the people here."

Keith looked at the people before driving off, "there might be some collateral damage, but it's all for the greater good. At least you can take pride in dying for your country."

"Okay, he's gone. Let's move!" Y/n says and picked Anya up. The dog ran after them, "we don't have much time."

The three rushed up the stairs and saw the door, Anya reached for the handle, "this one...?"

"WOOF!!" the dog roared at her.

"Oh, right! It'll blow up if I open it!" Anya glanced for an opening. Y/n kicked down the door next to it.

"Come on," Y/n says before he reeled back his fist to punch the wall down.

"The bomb!" Anya pointed at the bomb tapped to the wall. Y/n used his A.R lenses and looked at the wires, "Ba! Can you deactivate this?!"

Y/n broke the poker face and smirked. Anya finally smiled, her normal brother had returned.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

He adjusted his gauntlet to a precise laser before he cut the wires in a certain order, Y/n took the bomb off the wall, with no explosion. Y/n smiled, he put the deactivated bomb in front of the door. "Come on, let's get out of here."

"Guess this dump is Position B1, the building looks fit to collapse." Loid and the rest pulled up.

Loid and the gang started securing the floors, "it's the northern most room on the second floor. Hurry, we don't have much time."

"What is this?" Loid looked at the bomb, he lifted it up. "Someone got it off?"

"What?" the other men looked it, "who could of deactivated it?"

"There, now Dad should be okay." Y/n smiled somewhere far away with Anya and the dog...mostly in a nearby alley, turning towards his sister, "and it's all thanks to you two."

"I did good?" Anya asked. The image showed Y/n and Loid back into the vision, "you're back! We saved the future!"

"You did great." Y/n smiled warmly, ruffling her hair, "hey, why don't we go and get some ice cream?"

Anya smiled bright, "really?!"

"Yep! I'll make a machine that will make all the ice cream you wa-" the glass shatters as a small 'zit' noise is heard. Y/n feels a wet liquid dripping down his neck, Y/n slowly reaches for it, only to find a small hole in his neck. It was in a shape of a symbol. The blood started to pour as the bullet trailed along his neck. "Huh....."

"BA!!" Anya shouted with tears. Y/n quickly shot the ray gun at the last Germada soldier as the soldier eventually fizzled away. Y/n held his neck. "Hang in there!! I thought we changed the future! Please don't die! Please don't leave!"

"The future, you'll learn, can't be changed with willpower alone... Ah, ah shuttle. This is not good... I'm starting to lose consciousness... Mom was right...I'm not invincible.." Y/n held his neck to put pressure on it, he fell to his knees as the body started to get heavy. The blood started to fall from his nose, "alright, damn.... this hurts a lot more than I though...Son of a unit... I wonder...if Anya could change her own future... would she? I tried when I first came here...but I gave up...would she...?"

"I love you, Ba! I wouldn't change a thing in the world! I always want you to be my brother!" Anya hugged Y/n, as Y/n quickly let go of his neck, and gave a tiny hug to Anya. Anya started to cry and tried to pull Y/n away, "I'll save you, Ba! Please don't leave! I'll miss you! Eegggg! Ehhhh!!"

She tried to pull, but she couldn't even move Y/n's arm away...Y/n turned to Bond, "now...run...both of you...run away...please..."

The dog whined and tried to pull Y/n back up, Y/n held out some tears due to the pain he was in. "go! Go away, you augmented unit! Leave...!"

Bond grabs Anya and leaves, but Anya tries to hop off, "NO! WAIT! GO BACK!"

"God, I sound like me old man, huh...? Cough...! Yeah...the cough blood may be a problem...guess this is it." Y/n chuckles a bit, "'you wouldn't change a thing', huh, Sparkplug? Heh...neither would I..."

"goodbye 2xxx. Goodbye, 007. Thank you for everything. I won't let you down!"

"That's right...I can't give up yet." Y/n held his neck again, with a second wind. He activated the hover shows with the last of his strength, taking off into the sky. His eyes started to roll in the back of his head, but Y/n tried to keep away from the light. "I made a promise, I can't slip away from that..."

Loid looked out the window, "no time to look into that now... state security has caught wind of this place. Let's get out of here and let them handle the bomb. Leave them a notice."

"I guess we have to give up on finding Keith. We can't exactly search the area with the SSS around."

"Let's go to where Minister Brantz is staying. Now that Keith's plans are in tatters, he might attempt a direct attack." Loid suggested.

Meanwhile, said Minister is seen in his office. "Minister Brantz, it's nearly time. You'll be expected at the reception hall soon. A contingent from Ostania's foreign Ministry is waiting to escort you there."

"Hmph." the Minister looked down at Yuri and the other SSS members, "you can't go anywhere in this country without the eyes of the state watching you."

"I'm sure they're concerned about the terrorist matter, sir." the man told the Minister.

"Had WISE still not managed to wipe them out yet?! What a useless lot they are." the Minister growled.

A knock on the door is heard as Loid walked in, "excuse me, sir, I'm here from the Intelligence Service."
——-
The minister is seen walking out with two other men. Yuri looked at the two, "Minister Brantz. Please step into this car, and we'll escort you to the conference."

The Minister glanced at the exit and the city, "this way, sir."

"No. I'll drive myself there. You all can go home." he got into the driver's seat.

"WHAT?! S-Sir..." the Minister then drove away, "SIR!!?"

Kieth's dog picked up the trail, the Minister looked at the rear view mirror, "he's too far away to have sighted me directly. He must be using the dog's nose to track me, as expected."

"WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE, SYLVIA!?"

Two cars that were following him were thrown off when Loid took a hard right, "WHAT'S THE MINISTER DOING?!"

Kieth's dog started moving his head, Keith was confused, "he's changing his route...?"

Keith changed his directions, before Loid did it again. "What the hell? He's driving in circles..."

The other agents following Loid saw Keith's car, "enemy sighted. Gray sedan, license number ____. As far as I can see; he only has one dog."

"We'll run him down. Lead him into Blue 4."

Keith smirked, "what on Earth? Is he going back to the hotel? No...he's heading towards the river: trying to avoid the crowds? I appreciate that!"

A car pulled up next to Keith as one of the men pulled out a gun, trying to shoot Kieth, but he narrowly avoided the shots, "Damnit!"

Kieth slammed the car into the man before tossing a bomb at them, "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! FALL BACL! FALL BACK!"

The minister knocked the car down and crashed it, Loid saw it from afar. One of men grabbed the radio, "HE GOT US! HE'S STILL PACKING SERIOUS FIREPOWER...HE'S COMING YOUR WAY, SO WATCH OUT!"

Keith eventually caught up, drifting the car...but to his surprise, the car was abandoned. "He abandoned the car? Which way did her go?!" Kieth looked into the distance to see Loid, running, "gotcha! What sort of moron tries to escape on foot? SIC'IM!"

The dog dashes out the car and towards Loid, "the second he sinks his teeth into you, I set off the bomb!"

Loid aimed the gun at the dog.

The dog bit into Loid's arm as he threw the bomb behind him. Keith pulled up and saw the dog had bit him, "it's got its fangs in him? That's it... eat shrapnel, pig!"

The bomb fell into the water as the blast sent the water into the sky. Keith was shocked, "the bomb was as in the river...? But... how did he...?!"

"Sorry for this." Loid slammed the dog into the trash bin, closing it up. "I apologize for the accommodations, but I need you to wait here. I'll come back for you."

"That old man could never... hey, wait..." Kieth looked.

"Your little revolution is over now." Loid held his elbow, "even with stab-proof fabric, this hurts like hell..."

Yor is seen running in the city. "ANYA?! She must have run back to that first Pet Store. I know it's not likely, but if she runs into that terrorist again... I have to find her, and fast! I still have no idea where Y/n is!! Huh?"

She noticed Kieth driving in a speed, "oh! That's the gut! You're not getting away from me this time! Not after what you did to Anya and Y/n!"

Yor jumped on the road as Kieth jolted, "someone just jumped off that bridge?! GET OUTTA THE ROAD, YA STUPID-"

"What a horrible day..." one of the agents said, injured from the bomb attack.

Sora held her shoulders, "let's be thankful we did it without making a stir. We can count on the Eastern Government to clean up the mess."

"Does that mean returning these dogs to them?"

"I don't think we have to go that far. Let's keep them here in the shop while we await further orders. I expect there'll be questions about them that we need to answer."

"Well, I'm out. I need to get back to my family asap." Loid grabbed his hat and left.

Meanwhile... a figure hovers over to the area. His eyes started to shut as the hover shoes flickered off, and the body freezes up. The limp body heads into an alley way. Sylvia is seen walking with two subordinates, "quickly, Twilight needs us."

She quickly heard the crash behind her. She immediately took out her gun and told the others to be on ready, with a simple hand gesture. She walked towards the now sunken trash and appears in of the figure, "Wait, what?"

Sylvia puts the gun away and crouches down to look at the boy, "this is Twilight's kid...Sora's classmate, Y/n... and he's got a bullet wound at his neck...! Purple eyes... it can't be..GET THE MEDICS OVER HERE! NOW!!"

Loid looked to see Anya and Yor, "what are you two doing here...? In thought you went to the adoption fair?"

"You were pooing for so long! I was worried about you." Anya lied, but she was not energetic in the slightest.

"I was chasing after Anya to make sure she was okay." Yor explained.

"And... this dog?" the dog whimpered.
——————-
"...and after all that happened, finding. Let was the last thing on our minds!" Yor explained.

"They got caught up in the terrorist crisis!? And I had no idea!?" Loid blushed, "I'm so sorry that I was holder up in a restroom while all this was happening..."

Yor cried, "no; I'm the one who should be sorry! It must have been that terrible breakfast I made that put you there...!0

"AND YOU, ANYA! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO  WANDER OFF BY YOURSELF!? YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!" Loid shouted as Anya remembered her brother's death, "they didn't hurt you? You're okay?"

Anya started to cry. Yor and Loid were shocked, "Anya?!"

"Y/n...brother and the doggy protected me...! Sob!!" Anya started to weep.

"Anya?! You never told me what happened to Y/n. Is he lost?" Loid couldn't understand, Anya shook her head. She couldn't say it, "I don't understand. I'll go look for him."

Suddenly, his phone rings. He answered it, "Twilight." Sylvia talks on the phone, genuinely seeming saddened.

"Make it quick. I have to find Y/n." Loid was starting to get worried.

Sylvia's sigh didn't make it better, "yes...we found Y/n...his neck had...a bullet wound...in the shape of the Germada symbol...his body was found in the trash...like a crash..."

Loid almost dropped his phone, Anya starts to cry, "it's all Anya's fault. If I wasn't..."

Yor was very confused, and starting to get concern. She clearly wasn't being told something important, and she knew it. Her mind started flashing back to Y/n's first meeting with her, the two training together, the two spending time together. The worst thoughts came into mind, tears started to form. "Loid, what's going on? What are they saying? Where's Y/n?"

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way." Sylvia says as Loid held his head down.

"No...thank you for telling me..." Loid grimly said, he held back a single tear.

"I'm not finished yet." Sylvia said, "we got the medics over here and was going to patch him up, but he disappeared."

"Ba's alive?!" Anya smiled bright with hope.

Loid also got his hopes back up, "that's great, wait, you mean you lost him!?"

"Apparently no one saw him leave and we didn't get to fill out any paper work on him yet, it's like he was never even here. We'll be approaching you shortly." Sylvia stated as she hung up the phone.

"Loid..." Yor started to walk to Loid, "what did they say?"

Loid was about to speak before the sounds of fire and speeding were heard. The family looked down an alley to see Y/n, with a gauze and bandage around his neck. Because he ran out before he got his blood back, he looked very more thin than usual, "hey...."

"BA!!" Anya leaped off the dog and hugged Y/n's leg, "I thought..! I..!"

Y/n smiled and hugged her, "hey, hey, Sparkplug. Wipe your tears, I'm okay."

Y/n looked at Loid and Yor, who were genuinely worried. "Hey, I sliced my neck from a broken subway pipe. That's what I get from looking away."

"He's lying." Yor and Loid both knew that wasn't the case.

"And pup, thanks for everything." Y/n hugged the dog.

"This must be another one of the project apple test subjects. We certainly can't afford to let such a creature run free." Loid let him, "thank you for protecting my kids."

Sylvia soon came out in a different costume, different look, and different voice, "excuse me. We're from the state security service, investigating the incident that occurred at the city center earlier. May I ask you a few questions?"

After a few moments, Sylvia played along, "...I see. Then this must be another one of the dogs trained by the terrorists. He'll need to come with us."

"Please take good care of him." Loid and Y/n both said.

"Considering the delicate nature of East-West relations, we won't be making this incident public, and I'll ask for your discretion as well. We appreciate your cooperation."

Anya saw the family image again. Yor clapped her hands together, "now that that's all over, we can get back to finding you a dog!"

"Indeed we can. So, Anya..."

"NO!!" Anya hugged the dog, "I WANT THIS DOGGY!"

Everyone froze, Loid looked at the two, "Anya, didn't you hear her-"

"I WANT TO KEEP HIM FOREVER!" Anya shouted.

"Absolutely not! The bad man trained that dog to-"

"I DON'T CARE! HE SAVED MY LIFE!" Anya shouted.

Y/n gave a tiny smile with the tiny amount of energy he had, "I say let's do it."

"LET ME KEEP THIS DOG...OR ME AND BA WILL NEVER GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN!" Anya shouted.

Sylvia and Loid gasped, "WHAAAA?!"

"Y/n wouldn't actually..." Loid looked over at Y/n, but he had a poker face that was all too familiar to him, "What are you talking about?! This doesn't have anything to do with-"

"HE'S MINE MINE MINE!" Anya whined.

"I suppose that would be fine." Sylvia gave in.

"HAN- ER, OFFICER...?!" Loid was in disbelief.

Even Yor was hesitant, "are you...sure it's okay...?"

"Oh, I doubt anyone would care if one of the dogs is never officially recovered. The terrorists have all been apprehended, and the dogs themselves did nothing wrong." Sylvia explained, whispering to Loid, "we can't let this endanger Operation Strix! What choice do we have?"

"That may be so, but still..." Loid tried to fight back.

"We have more than enough other dogs to keep the researchers busy. I'm placing this one under your supervision. Keep it strictly under control."

"As if I don't have enough on my plate already?!"

Anya looked at Sylvia, "there were so many other doggies...are the police going to be mean to them...?"

Sylvia crouched down and patted her head, "don't worry, little girl. We'll take good care of the dogs. We'll give them nice soft beds and warm foods to eat. These dogs have probably had to live very hard lives. That's why...I want you to be extra nice to this one, and take very good care of him. Do you promise?"

"Thank you, Boss lady." Anya smiled.

"She's a total sweetheart." Sylvia chuckled.

"You have no idea." Loid looked away.

"Oh, I have a very good idea. My daughter used to be that age." Sylvia smiled bright, "peace won the day. That's all that really matters."

"I can't agree with that." Loid smiled before the two looked at Y/n, "but you said you found him with a bullet wound to the neck? How'd he survive?"

"I'm not sure. He's human. But his technology was the only thing keeping him alive." Sylvia gripped Loid's shoulder, "I have a feeling he's much more valuable than we initially thought. Keep an eye on him, he's hiding something."

"Right..." Loid seemed saddened.
—-
"We'll take the dog overnight and have him examined to make sure that he's healthy." Sylvia and a man held the leash, "if we don't find anything wrong, we'll deliver him to your home tomorrow."

"Very well." Loid nodded, "I guess we should call it a day."

"Sounds good to me. I'm tired..." Y/n nodded with a yawn, but the pain in his neck made him take a sharp inhale. "When I get back home, I gotta make something for this..."

"Today felt like such a long day." Yor nodded.

"We need to be careful. 'The field trip isn't over till you're home in one piece'!" Anya looked at her family.

"This definitely wants a field trip." Y/n chopped Anya's head lightly.

"Do they say that at school...?" Loid wondered.

"No fighting, you two. The danger is all over now." Yor smiled, "heheh! To think it was me who stopped the bad guys and protected the county- and no one will ever know!"

Anya had a smug smile, "heheh, I did it! I stopped that bomb and saved Ba and Papa's life. I saved the whole world!"

Loid seemed tired, "haaaa... we narrowly managed to save the summit, but I don't know how much more I can take.. my stomach killing me..."

Y/n is seen with his poker face, but his face inside was in immense pain, "I stopped the Germada for today but got blood on my hands. Nearly died and I feel like I'm about to cross the river. Now I know how mom felt when she got shot in the ass."

Soon they arrived home and Y/n walks out of Anya's room.

"Alright, Anya's sleeping. And that makes me..." Y/n says before Loid and Yor hugged him.

"Thank you for looking after her. I'm so sorry this happened to you." Loid apologizes as Yor hugged him tight.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt even worse?!" Yor held Y/n's face all over.

"Please don't yank my face, it really hurts actually." Y/n warned.

Yor immediately let go, "oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!"

Y/n smiled, "and it's okay. As long as I protected Anya, I'll be okay."

Loid and Yor just hugged him again. Nobody knew the right words to say, they all just sat in the embrace in silence. A comfortable, warm silence. A crack is then heard, "mom... I think you broke a rib..."
———-
Anya starts fidgeting left and right. "Is the doggy here yet? Is doggy here yet?"

"Calm down. He'll be here soon." Loid explained.

"I can't see the TV." Y/n says as he wrapped his hands up with bandages.

The doorbell rang as the dog walked in, "y'all take good care of him now."

The dog looked left and right at the new place, Yor smiled, "hehehe, he's all like, 'where am I?'"

Y/n got up and laughed, "he'll have to get used to the wacky funhouse."

"Welcome to Anya's house, Doggy!" Anya said as the dog's vision was now complete.

The dog let off a cute bark and wagged his tail.

"It's day two of the East-West summit that began last night... negotiations towards a new arms control agreement are reportedly off to a good start..."
