Also, in response to Nanxy Nova:

Sorry, bruh. Not everyone is same. Also I am the type of person who got inspired during writing. So a small detail from the OCs in the review sections can lead to a spoiler. AND! Some people might disagree to another person's idea when they announced their OCs publicly. I learned that from real life experience...

Chapter 2
A Different Starting

A certain cat figurine was hunching over several of opened books on his working desk. He constantly flipping pages and switching books one after another, as his slanted mint green eyes scanned over the words. Tall stacks of books were surrounding him all had already been read by him alone. The books from his bookshelf had been taken out, read through everything, and put away.

He then sighed and tiredly leaned back into his chair, one of his white gloved hands was on his furry face. He had been researching for hours now. But he always seemed to be coming into a dead end.

But he had been researching for several years, now. He will not give up today or anytime soon. A client needed his help and it involved everything, literally.

He had never failed before, and he will keep it like that until the day he left the world.

His fiancée looked up from the red Victorian-era sofa. She gave him a sad and tired smile as she put down a thick brown leather book. She also had been researching along with her fiancé. She had tall stacks of books surrounding her, placing on the floor and on the table. But the height of the book stacks couldn't even hold a candle to her fiancé's.

"Tired, Sweetheart?" Haru questioned her fiancé. Despite the question, she herself was also tired of spending constantly reading through books after books for hours. Her fiancé sighed tiredly again into his white gloved hand.

"You two had been spending the whole day reading through the whole stacks of books since yesterday. The two of you should've rest," a white-green clothed man decided to answer as his dark green eyes scanned through the pages of the book in his hand. Like the engaged couple he too did the research as he sat on the floor, next to the fireplace like usual, with tall stacks of books surrounded him. But, like Haru's, his couldn't hold a candle to Baron's.

"Like you didn't do any better," the engaged couple muttered in unison and rolled their eyes. While not actually seeing them doing it RJ smiled, knowing that they would roll their eyes at him. He knew them a bit too much.

Baron and Haru had been engaged long time ago. They were supposed to be married shortly after the Baron's return several years ago. But when a client needs a help from the Cat Bureau that involved everything, again literally, they willingly moved the date further away until the problem is solved.

They are such a perfect couple and, if anyone knew RJ, the Eli will make sure that the two will stay together.

"Are you sure that these are everything?" RJ asked the cat figurine as he gestured toward the books all around the house.

"The Cat Kingdom is doing their best on researching the same thing at their world. So does the Bird Kingdom. I managed to borrow some books from the Realms of Magicians, and even them also doing their best," the Baron answered, lowering down his hand and looked at the Eli. RJ blinked as a small smile crept onto his face.

Even anyone from a different realms know about the great Baron Humbert Von Gikkingen.

"And Miss Nova is also leaning a helping hand," the Baron added.

Though, 'leaning a helping hand' isn't the correct term to use. It was more like repaying an old the Crystal Maiden owned him big time.

She was a Creation that went by the title, 'Wisdom Maiden' for her great knowledge and wisdom. She was very calm and patient, a peacemaker but fight when needed. She can create powerful illusion and control plant life. She also loved to read, which dedicated to the old debt.

The Baron usually wasn't a person who would demand a debt to be repaid. But when a person crossed the line…

"Well, good luck," are the words that is correctly use when you are the unfortunate victim. The witnesses are unable to do anything other than stand on the sideline and watch the scene unfold as they eat a full bowl of popcorn.

The Baron had confronted her about two years ago. He calmly talked about the old debt she still had yet to be repaid, but anger was burning in his eyes. Although Nova was very calm and patient, fear was present and completely shown in her eyes. While she wasn't tremble in her seat, her fearful brown eyes didn't meet his angry green eyes.

Nova was intelligent, yes. And she should've used her knowledge to not make the Baron angry long ago. But she focused on the borrowed books too much to pay attention about the debt. She thought about it, but quickly brushed it away.

And because of that, she had to face the fury of the great Baron. She had read about the widely known anger of the Baron. It rarely happened but it could happen. He may be a doll, but he was a powerful doll.

And she was certainly did not want to be the opposite end of his cane. He's incredibly deadly whenever he wield his sword.

Nova apologized over and over again, and doing it over and over again, bowing very low toward the Baron. She said she will do anything to repay the debt.

Since the Baron was too tired after spending years of researching to put a punishment on the Crystal Maiden, he asked her to help him on the research instead. She immediately sprinted to her own library for research without a single protest or a falter in her step.

"I hope she did what you ask her to do," RJ said, lowering down the book in his hand, making the bell on his right wrist rang gorgeously. "And not doing the same mistake again," he added, muttering under his breath. "You two just rest. Get some sleep, make your special blend of teas and spend some times with each other, okay?" RJ asked them.

"But helping the case is one of the times we spend with each other," the two half-cats simultaneously complained tiredly, holding back a yawn. RJ held back a chuckled but couldn't hold back the smile.

The two really are a perfect couple.

"Please, just take a rest. You'll feel great after you had made your batch the next morning you wake up," RJ said. "Go on, now. Shoo," he waved his hand in a shooing motion. The engaged couple sighed but they complied. They finally yawned as they went to the bedroom for a good long day sleep.

RJ smiled at the couple. The Baron doesn't need a bed to get his sleep since he was a doll. He could transform back into his doll form to rest.

Haru, on the other hand, was actually a human that willingly transformed herself into a half-cat form because of her love for the Baron. She needed a bed to rest and the Baron would sleep in his flesh form with her for her sake.

The Baron loved Haru too much to leave her alone in a room.

RJ shook his head and made a move to grab another book. They were still engaged and the Baron was a true gentleman. Yet, they shared the same bed. Heh, talk about love. The Baron and Haru were probably talking about marriage and the thought about changing 'Haru Yoshioka' to 'Baroness Haru Von Gikkingen' right about now before they went to sleep.

As RJ read the next book he found that he had not read yet, he heard a knock on the front double doors of the house. He blinked in confusion, closing and putting away the book in his hand and made his way to the door.

He opened the door when he heard a second knock finished. It was Nova the Crystal Maiden on the opposite side of the door. Her eyes were glued on the ground in fear. She was shifting from one foot to another. Her hands were intertwined with each other, fidgeting.

"Good afternoon, Nova," RJ greeted, causing the Crystal Maiden to sharply look up. Her brown eyes were wide in surprise.

"Oh, Mr. Ralph! Good morning to you too. I mean- good afternoon…" she quickly corrected herself. "I wasn't expecting for you to be here," she added in surprise.

RJ cocked his head to the side. It looked like Nova was expecting the Baron to answer the door.

"Is Milord Baron inside?" she calmly asked, trying her best to peer over his broad shoulder. But he was just too tall since he was exactly seven feet tall at regular height. The Eli opened the door wide and stepped aside to let her in.

"The Baron is currently taking a long sleep with his fiancée. But knowing Baron, you're welcome to come in," RJ told her invitingly. Nova stepped in and nodded a thank you toward him as he closed the door.

Her jaw hung shamelessly when her eyes landed on the books that were neatly stacked everywhere around the house.

"I did not know that you guys are already this far ahead," she said, amazed. She picked up a random book and began to read the sentences her brown eyes caught. RJ went back to his previous spot and picked back up the book he had left.

"Well we've started years ahead of you so you shouldn't be surprise," he commented, returning back to research mode. The words didn't seem to reach Nova's ears. Her focus was directly on the book in her hand.

"Oh my, look at this," she calmly said, amazed. "I didn't know that magic could be this advance. And look at this one. I had never seen this kind of illusion before. And-"

"Nova," RJ cut her off, his dark green eyes were on her. She looked up at him in confusion, the book in her hand lowered down a bit. Fear rose inside her when RJ nodded towards a particular room, causing her to put down the book to where she found it before.

"So what bring you here to the Cat Bureau?" RJ asked her, returning his attention back onto the book in his hand. "Any particular problems you couldn't solve and need Baron's help for it?" he added, looking up at Nova for a moment before back to the book in his hand, flipping the page during the process.

"Well, not really," Nova calmly answered. "I came to a dead end back in my library since I couldn't find anything in particular," she added. "How long have you guys been doing this?" she changed the subject.

"Since Shelby the Toy Cobra came here several years ago. We haven't stop since then," RJ answered the question, eyes till locked onto the page. "I was planning on leaving this Earth few years ago but I always lean a helping hand when it comes to the great Baron," he added, still reading the book in his hand. "Anyway, what about the things you had been found out in your study?"

"Like I said, I came to a dead end," Nova answered.

"But there is always something that could lead to our research before you reach the dead end," RJ replied back, flipping another page and read the sentences quickly. "Shelby said that a portal would open up that could lead to the world's disruption. The Baron predicted it to happen around tomorrow or the day afterward," RJ told her.

"Is that the only thing she gave?" Nova questioned.

"That is the only thing she gave," RJ answered.

"That doesn't help much," Nova commented, frowning. RJ sighed but kept his dark green eyes on the book in his hand, determined to help the Baron at all cost.

"At least there is something instead of nothing at all," RJ commented back. Nova couldn't help but nodded in affirmation.

Silence appeared in the room as RJ kept reading the book as Nova read another book in order to help. The silence was broken when they heard soft snores coming from a certain room. RJ chuckled as Nova giggled.

"They sure really are very tired," RJ softly commented.

Before RJ could read the next line, he and Nova heard another knock on the door. Confused, Nova decided to answer the door. When she opened the door, she immediately used her power upon seeing the person on the opposite side of the door.

"This is not necessary, Miss Creation"

Recognizing the soft darkly voice RJ closed the book and made his way to the door. Sure enough, Commander had got wrapped around by huge and thick vines created by Nova. She had her hands on the dirt ground as she kept her eyes on Commander.

"That's really unnecessary, Nova," RJ patted her shoulder to calm her down. She looked up at him in shock and confusion, but kept her calm demeanor.

"But he's a monster," she stated, looking at RJ like he was insane.

"Nova, please," RJ said, insisted. "Release my best friend, would you?" RJ asked calmly. Nova looked at him in shock, and then looked back at the giant before her questioningly.

"What can you prove that you're not a monster like I thought you would?" she asked the giant. Commander shrugged his shoulders as best as he could in his situation. He could break away from her grip with ease, but for her sake he won't.

"I love kittens. Does that prove to you that I am not a heartless monster?" he said calmly, softly gazing down at the Crystal Maiden.

Nova narrowed her eyes at him skeptically but reluctantly released him from his entangled situation. He bowed toward her, thanking her for releasing him. He knelt down on both knees to be more eye-level with RJ and Nova since he was just too tall.

"Commander," RJ greeted his usual greetings.

"Sir," Commander greeted back, bowing a bit.

"It's been years, isn't it?" RJ asked, smiling a bit at his giant best friend.

"Several years, to be more precise," Commander replied. RJ chuckled softly.

"What brings you here to the Cat Bureau? It's quite rare to see you seeking help from the Baron. Sorry, he's currently sleeping with Haru right now," RJ said, tilting his head to the side a bit.

"That is not the reason on why I came here," Commander answered, his tone was downcast. Very slowly, he raised a large hand and placed it on his heart. RJ straightened his posture when he saw the gesture. Nova looked at the two in confusion.

"What did Kira says?" RJ questioned seriously. Commander was silent for a moment, his hand still placed over his heart, before he answered the question.

"She said to not involve the Army Ants in the upcoming event tomorrow. You and the Cat Bureau are also must stay out of the problems Foxy the Pirate Fox and his friends and family will face starting tomorrow"

RJ started to curse under his breaths. He ran his hand through his black spiky hair, making the bell on his wrist rang gorgeously. He sighed, closing his eyes.

At least the Baron's prediction was true.

RJ repeated back the words Commander told him in his mind.

"She didn't say anything about solving the problems, right?" RJ asked, still in serious demeanor. Commander was silent, his large hand still over his heart, waiting for a response from Kira.

"No," Commander answered. "She did not say anything about solving the problems," he added, hand still over his heart. RJ nodded and placed two fingers on his chin. He was now thinking, lost in thought.

So Kira told him to not disturb the upcoming event tomorrow. And RJ will do that since he did not want to disturb destiny (most of the time anyway). But he and the Cat Bureau can solve the problems of the upcoming event tomorrow. He repeated back the words again in his mind.

"Nova," he called the attention from the Crystal Maiden, who looked a bit startled from the sudden call. "I need you to be with a Living Object name Foxy the Pirate Fox, an animatronic fox worked at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. Stay by his side and help him whenever you can," RJ said in his commanding tone. Nova raised an eyebrow.

"And why would I?" she asked, skeptical.

"There's something going to happen around him," RJ answered with no hesitation, looking at Commander's hand that placed over his heart. "Whatever it is, Kira said it's something big. And Foxy needs all the help he could get"

The parents who were once the children at the pizzeria back before 1987 had recently passed away. According to the Baron, Foxy would be weakening by now. He was even weaker than he was before. But he didn't voice that out to Nova.

He also kept the secret that Foxy the Pirate Fox was in fact a Creation. But only RJ and the Baron knew that. Not even Commander knows the secret.

"Okay," Nova agreed after thinking for a while. "I'll do my best on helping this Foxy the Pirate Fox"

"Good," RJ said, and then looked at her straight in the eye. "Listen, Nova," He spoke in a hush tone, making Nova a bit confused and suspicious. "I know you're very intelligent and very wise, and I suspect that you will find something drastic about Foxy"

Despite trying their best, RJ and the Baron knew that one day another person will know about Foxy's Creation ability. They suspected Nova will find out when she hung around him.

"Whatever you found, whatever you discovered, keep everything to yourself. Don't let anyone know about it. Understand?" RJ softly spoke, nearly whispering.

Nova and Commander stared at him. Whatever made RJ to speak softly when talking about this Foxy the Pirate Fox guy, it was something big and drastic. It could be life-changing.

"Okay, but can I ask one question," Nova requested. RJ nodded, allowing her. "Who is this 'Kira'?" she asked in suspicion.

Both RJ and Commander answered with one word.

"Destiny"
