[Name] it had been almost a week since he left to go find Zero and the twins. He hadn't really been gone that long but even so Ryuko could not deny the fact that she missed him. It was still active without him but it was the small things she missed.

How he would wake up in the morning and make everyone breakfast. How he'd ask her if she needed anything already knowing what the answer was before hand. Just spending time with her when Mako was out doing whatever it is that Mako does.

She had been just a little concerned so she had decided to call him. She picked up her cell phone and dialed in his number after a few seconds she heard someone pick up.

"Hello?" The familiar voice asked.

"Hey [Name]-kun it's me Ryuko." The female said.

"Oh hey Ryuko-chan what's up?" The voice asked

"Nothing much just wanted to talk is all." Ryuko said looking at the phone.

"Okay well want do you want to talk about?" [Name] asked through the phone.

"I don't know really. What are you doing at the moment?" She asked.

"I'm doing something for Zero." [Name] said through the phone.

"Really well what are you doing?" Ryuko asked.

"Well Zero has been preforming a few experiments out of town for safety reasons and he has a few pests interfering so he wants me to get rid of them." [Name] said.

"What kind of experiments is he working on?" Ryuko asked.

"Hard to tell with him. Yesterday he was talking about some kind of genetic animal he made today he's talking about some rare material he needs to make my gloves and some other things stronger." [Name] said through the phone.

Ryuko was about to ask further questions until another male voice was heard on the other side of the phone. "There he is shoot him." Ryuko then heard several gunshots being fired off.

"Who's that?" Ryuko asked still hearing gunshots.

"The pests." [Name] said with a sigh. "Look I got to deal with like two hundred of these guys and something tells me they aren't going to wait for me to finish a conversation with you."

"Yeah just call me when you've dealt with them." Ryuko said.

"Will do Ryuko-chan." [Name] said as more shot were fired.

"Good bye I love you." Ryuko said.

"Yeah bye and I love you too." [Name] said looking as he hung up.

"Wonder what that was all about." Ryuko said aloud

With [Name]

[Name] was currently jumping from tree to tree trying to locate and defend Zero's experiment. Which was a little difficult with a couple hundred people shooting at him all at once. "Damn where is this stupid thing that I'm supposed be at. He said outside town he never bother to say where."

"Yeah but you know Zero he's probably making this difficult on purpose." Hideo said within the ring.

"I wouldn't doubt it. He seems to find pleasure in the struggling of others." [Name] said as he finally came across what he was looking for. A small purplish crystal that seemed to radiate energy. "Well I got his experiment Now all that's left to do is wait for those people to show up and make sure they don't get it."

With Ryuko

"You called Onii-san today?" Mako asked looking at Ryuko.

"Yeah I did he shouldn't be to long in calling me back. He said he would after he got finished with his mission." Ryuko said looking at Mako.

Mako was about to say something but as soon as she opened her mouth the phone inside of Ryuko's pocket went off. She looked at the name and saw that it was [Name] calling her. She answered it with a "Hello"

"Hey Ryuko-chan."

"Hey [Name]-kun"

"So I'm done with my mission. So what was it you wanted to talk about?" [Name] asked looking at them

"I actually need to go. I'll call you later" Ryuko said with somewhat sad sigh.

"Yeah no problem I should probably get going to Zero's lab anyway." [Name] said as he hung up. After a while Mako decided she was going to call her older sibling.

With [Name]

"So his material whatever should be somewhere around here." [Name] said walking through the damp waters of his surroundings. "This is so fucking disgusting." [Name] said as he heard his phone ring.

He pulled it out of his pocket and saw the number belonged to his sister Mako. "thank god I got one of those water proof phones." [Name] said aloud as he answered his phone.

"Hey Mako what's up?"

"How'd you know it was me?" Mako asked through the phone.

"I just know when you are calling." [Name] said figuring she didn't need to know the truth.

"So what are you doing?" Mako asked through the phone.

"I'm in the sewers looking for something that Zero lost down the drain apparently it's important for his experiments. It has the ability to transmute metals to other types of metals so he was hoping to use it to create a new element and infuse it with my gloves and some equipment that belongs to the twins." [Name] said like it was an everyday occurrence.

"So this whatever it is you're looking for what does it look like?" Mako asked.

"Well the looks is what is making it so hard to find. It looks like a small metal box. I can't find it because of all this crud they got down here in the sewer not to mention all the security measures they've taken to ensure that people aren't smuggling anything into the city." [Name] said.

"Security measures? Like what?" Mako asked through the phone.

"Well for starts they added in high action snipers that monitor movement and shoot at anything that moves even if that includes the cities vermin." [Name] said looking at his phone.

"Well what makes these guns special other than what you just said?" Mako asked.

"Well they elephant fire frag rounds that exploded on contact and they travel at a pace that is capable of ripping throw three star goku uniforms." [Name] said.

"That's bad right?" Mako asked.

"Yes very bad basically one of those bullets even if it hit somewhere like you arm is going to put you or in this case me in the hospital for a while. Not only that but if it does make contact with your body I doubt that anyone would be able to help me. Well unless Zero has finally figured out how to make fake body parts he's been working on that for a few years now but I doubt he's gotten anywhere with it." [Name] said as he jumped down into a new pound of water.

"If it's so bad then is this box really worth it?" Mako asked.

"Zero seems to think so and he's a lot smarter than I could ever be so I trust his judgment. He usually tends to be right about things that I could never even began to comprehend." [Name] said as he finally found the box that had been lost in the sewers.

"Found it." [Name] said aloud as he started towards the entrance once more. "Man I'm going to need a long shower when I get back to the lab." [Name] said through his phone.

"Is it really that bad?" Mako asked.

"Worse than I could even began to describe imagine the worst smell you've ever experienced and then times that by ten and you get the idea of what the water I'm going throw smells like." [Name] said a little disgusted by the fact that he had been down there for almost a solid hour.

"Well what are you going to do next?" Mako asked.

"Zero said something about a special type of metal that's located at the bottom of a lake near the enterance of town so I was go to head there then back to the lab." [Name] said with a sigh.

"So that's it just some kind of metal at the bottom of the lake?" Mako asked.

"Yeah he just wants the metal. Although he did warn me about some kind of genetically perfect snake he had engineered and released because it became to big for him to keep in lab so that may cause my some problems but I mean I just fought off two hundred people with more than enough intent to kill me so I should be fine." [Name] said as confidently as ever.

"So you're going to fight a giant snake?" Mako asked.

"Yeah more or less. Listen if this snake is as big as Zero makes it out to be it shouldn't be that big so theirs nothing to worry about. I also need to hang up I've never fought a snake before so it could be a little difficult with me talking to you." [Name] said as he looked at the enormous wall he had to scale to get the supposed lake.

"Okay bye I'll see you when you get back." Mako said as she hung up. [Name] removed the phone from his ear and started to wall once he reached the top he looked down and saw the lake he smirked at his luck and went to jump into the lake. When he did the snake Zero had mention came out of the water and looked at him.

"Ah shit walked right into this one and as he was halfway down his phone rang and he saw it was Ryuko. "Of all the times you could have called." He answered it nonetheless and the snake that was ready to attack lunged forward and sent him into a wall.

"Hello." [Name] said through the phone. He quickly pulled himself out of the crater he was in and jumped to the ground.

"Yeah hi [Name]-kun Mako just told me that you're planning to fight a giant snake." He heard Ryuko say and he dodged another attack sent at him by the snake.

"Well I'm not PLANNING to fight the snake anymore." [Name] said as the snake bit down on his lower body and started to shake his head back and forth.

"Really well That's good to hear snakes aren't exactly fund to deal with." Ryuko said while [Name] was punching the nose of said creature trying to free himself.

"Yeah I know what you mean. I had a bad experience with a snake when I was little I bit me and dad had to find a new way to get the venom out of my body." [Name] said as the giant snake tossed his body into the air.

"Really I'll have to ask him about that sometime." Ryuko said as [Name] looked at the snake that was about to swallow him whole.

"Listen Ryuko I need to call you back." [Name] said as he fell towards the snake.

"Okay well I'll call back in a little bit." With that said Ryuko hung up and [Name] was swallowed by the snake. As [Name] slid sat in the beasts body a strange thought passed through his head. 'Huh so this is what being swallowed alive by a giant snake feels like.' He then slid his phone back into his pocket and tried to think of a way to escape.

He only came up with one idea and that was to remove his ring. After a moment of thought he decided to remove his ring. When he did the wind that was usually released when the ring was removed started to swirl within the snake causing it to explode. As [Name] landed he shook the green goo off him and entered the water. Only one thing passing threw his mind as he put his ring back on.

'I don't what Zero says When I get to the lab I'm taking a long nice hot shower. I've been through the forest where literally hundreds of bugs tried to eat me. I was in what I'm pretty sure is the worse smelling sewer on the face of the planet and now I'm covered in snake guts. I deserve a shower.'
