Doppel was not happy.

Picture if you will: a situation where several people are held hostage by a bunch of horny monster pigs who want the erotic genre to be changed to their liking, and you are apart of a unit made up entirely of monster girls, in order to handle a situation like this. Now put yourself in Doppel's shoes. As a member of the doppelganger race, she was capable of changing her appearance. It would be accurate to say that her long white hair was, more or less, her clothes. Right now, she had changed into a shoujo ai heroine in order to entice the perverted pigs. It worked, as she was pulled into the store. The plan was to have the Orcs gather in front of the store after pretending to be screaming for help and tearing down the curtains, thus allowing their resident sharpshooter to destroy their guns. She found Zombina in place, lying on the ground and playing dead (which was sort of a moot point, given she was a zombie). The plan was for her to become horrified after seeing the 'dead body' of the MON agent.

The plan was almost working...almost being the key word here. When she tried to run, she accidentally slipped on some of the red-colored liquid liquid that kept Zombina from decomposing like a piece of rotting meat, causing her to fall flat on her butt. Before she even had a chance, the leader of the group, evident by the far more evident and malicious gleam in his eye (plus he looked REALLY ugly. As in, ugly so bad that his face was one only a mother could love), and an orange mohawk atop his skull. "Now now, no need to be alarmed," he said, snorting. Because she was playing the part of an innocent and cute shoujo ai heroine, she had to put on a face of horror, which she was used to. Doppelgangers weren't just masters of disguise; they were masters of deceit too. It was why she was picked for the job, after all. That being said, she did feel disgust. She refrained from gagging. His breath smelled horrible, and his fingers...so greasy! "We're all gentlemen here. We wouldn't dare think of betraying the laws of the extra-species bill. Now, ojou-sama..."

To Doppel's absolute disgust, the Orc ran a tongue along her cheek. That's it. When she gets the chance, she is SO going to prank Smith all to hell for this. Why did she even sign up for this kind of job?

"...let's get to know each other."

One of his large hands moved to grab her breast. She kept up the scared and horrified facade, but inwardly she was scowling. Dammit, she needed to get to the window and lure them there. She didn't have time for this. She would have already been there if she hadn't slipped on Zombina's fluids! She knew it was to replicate blood and whatnot, since it made for good intimidation factor, but dammit!

Then, just as his fingers barely touched the large mounds that were actually just her hair bundled up to replicate large breasts, it happened.

The window shattered, breaking apart into tiny fragments. The curtains were torn from their hinges, practically ripped apart while something descended down on the poor, unsuspecting Orc in front of the window, falling straight on top of it and crashing right into the floor, proceeding to body surf for a good few feet before coming to a stop. The Orc's face was buried deep into the ground, and given the blank look in his eyes, he was knocked out six ways from Sunday. Immediately, all eyes, be those of hostages and non-humans, turned to look at the new arrival. For a moment, Doppel wondered if it was Tio. While she did act professional, her somewhat airhead nature sometimes tended to interfere, despite it ever rarely happening. Then she realized it wasn't her teammate, but something else.

It was humanoid, much like almost every other extra-species. However, unlike her fellow humanoid-type monsters, this one seemed to have a mix of armor and exoskeletal plating on its body. Its skin was black beneath the gaps, revealing toned, thin legs with armored boots, sharp blades resembling fins piercing out from behind the calves. Blue metal covered its ankles, connecting the silver portion of the boots to the fins. Its upper body, meanwhile, was more colorful, being mostly blue with red vein-like markings etched into the armor. Silver bracers covered its forearms, bound by black bands at the wrists and black metal at the back of the hands. It shoulders were covered by round pauldrons, rather flat with a thick black strip at the center. Armor covered its chest, kept in place by the various strips of machinery spanning from underneath its armpits to behind his back, where she saw sharp fins also marked into its back. Keeping in tone with the obvious reptilian-like traits, a large fin sat atop its head, vaguely like the mohawk of lizards with similar fins on either side of its ahead, albeit more apart of the machinery that covered its head. It had large yellow eyes with steel shutters over them, no doubt visors of some sort. What caught the doppelganger's attention the most was the belt around its waist. It seemed to be some sort of belt, with the buckle resembling the side of a reptile's head, purely red with a yellow eye in the center. A holder was below the eye, with a cylinder attached inside of it.

Rising from its crouch, the lizard-themed armored monster rose up from atop the unconscious orc, and breathed what sounded like an almost primal, predatory growl that sent shivers down her spine. "Let them go," the unknown spoke, making Doppel blink. It was male, but it sounded young. Maybe in his mid teens. "Or I'll bury you six feet under!"

The Orc leader was stunned for a moment before he regained his composure and turned to his four remaining comrades. "What are you waiting for?!" he snorted. "Shoot 'em!"

Snapping out of their stupor, the Orcs raised their guns to open fire. Once more, the sound of gunfire echoed, only this time it was four guns going off. Doppel knew by the briefing that the ammunition loaded into the guns were real, and she was more than sure that Zombina could confirm that. She did get pumped full of lead, after all. Regardless, the armored monster was no fool, as when the first few streams tore into him, piercing through his shoulder, waist and leg, he dived behind the counter. The wood would soon give way, though it seemed that the apparent rescuer had a use for it. With impressive strength, he tore the counter right out from the foundations, holding it above his head with ease. It wasn't an impossible or difficult feat, as it could easily be accomplished by a number of extra-species who also had impressive physical strength.

Acting swiftly, the armored monster tossed the counter at one of the orcs. It smashed straight into its target, knocking them to the floor and clocking them out when their head smacked up against the wall, resulting in a softball sized lump. Only three goons with guns were left. This time, he was charging forward, closing the distance and seemingly ignoring the pain his body was undergoing before he reared his arm back, coming to a slide as he came to his second mark. Once he was close, he pushed his arm forward, slamming it straight into the oversized gut of his mark. The power behind it was enough to send rippling waves through the orc's fatty flesh, and had enough force to send him straight off his feet. The shapeshifter was sure she heard bones breaking too, as the pig was sent flying and crashed straight into a rack of porno mangas.

Two down, three to go.

The third orc tried to knock him out with the butt of the rifle, only for the apparent rescuer to grab it, applying pressure. The barrel and metal that made up the gun were crushed and dented easily, as imprints of the monster's hand were left. The orc realized that he had just done something stupid, and sweat poured down his face, eyes wide with fear as the monster glared back at him. "Um...sorry?" The monster's response was to ram his knee into his gut, knocking the wind right out of his sails before roughly grabbing the horny pig by what little patch of hair he had atop that porky dome, pulling on the roots to hold him in place. He whined in pain, though it was snuffed out with a straight punch to the face, knocking out several teeth and cracking a few bits of the skull, and like his comrade, he too was sent flying, joining his friend in a pile.

By now, the orc leader suddenly realized, as he held Doppel with a burly arm around her neck, that he had massively underestimated. Unfortunately for her, he seemed to realize he had a bargaining chip, as an evil smirk formed on his face and dangled her in front of him, causing the monster to stop his advance. "Don't even think about it," he snorted with glee. Doppel did her best not to gag. Ugh, seriously! Did this guy not know the meaning of a tooth brush?! "One more move, and I snap her pretty little neck!"

The threat worked. The monster was hesitating. This left him open as the last Orc with a rifle opened fire. Because she was being held so tightly, Doppel couldn't use her otherwise limber form and kick the fat pig in the face and let the apparent rescuer beat the hell out of them without restraint. This led to him raising his arms as he was pelted with bullets. Small sprays of blood splashed out, resembling dark green fluid, as each bullet tore into him. However, he didn't show any sort of discomfort, implying a high pain tolerance. He stood his ground, feet firmly planted on the floor, tacking the bullets. Doppel scowled, struggling to break free. Dammit, if she could just get free a little bit, she could kick this bastard right in the kisser and give the guy a chance to take 'em down! Unfortunately, the Leader Orc had a solid grip. Even worse, the bastard was having the nerve to feel her up as he held her!

Then a new monster came into the fray. It used the lizard-themed monster as a springboard, jumping on his back and taking to the air, soaring through before stretching out its leg, striking the last Orc in the gut and sending him flying into the wall. He gasped, dropping his gun in surprise. Right when he recovered, the new monster spun around on its heel and delivered a roundhouse straight kick to the face, bashing the piggy's head in further. After a few seconds, the Orc's body went limp, and the new monster pulled its foot back, letting him fall to the ground.

Like the apparent savior, the new monster was one she had never seen before. It was jet black and bearing feathers, reminiscent to that of a crow with a wing wrapped around the left shoulder like a pauldron and armor plating covering the torso and legs. Twin, sharp talons stood at the feet, sharp enough to cut through skin if need be. The wrists and forearm were armored as well, wrapping around the hands like gauntlets. The face was also garbed in feathers, mostly atop the head as it was slicked back. The lower mouth was covered by thick armor while feathers fell around it like hair, and bore cold gray eyes. However, what caught the doppelganger's attention was the lack of a left arm under the pauldron.

The Leader Orc gasped, taken by surprise by the new arrival. The armored monster seemed shocked to see it as well. "I-Iyu?!"

Iyu? Was that the monster's name?

"Are you alright, Chihiro?!"

Chihiro...well, at least now she has a name to go with them, now.

"Don't move!" the Leader Orc snarled, gathering their attention. His grip tightened, though it had slackened a bit compared to before, giving her more freedom as he backed away. "Come any closer, and I'll snap her pretty little neck! You two understand?!"

The two monsters knew the situation, and relented. However, the girl saw them looking ready for any opening to intervene, any chance of striking at the bastard. Doppel smirked. Given the lack of grip now, despite being tighter, she could give 'em what they wanted. As he opened his mouth to make another threat, she acted. She raised her leg, and jumped up, slamming her foot straight into his snout. Sadly, it didn't break as she hoped it would, but it did cause him to cry out in pain and cease his grip on her, allowing her to escape and roll forward. She looked up at the two monsters. "NOW!"

They were stunned at first, but then realized they had an opening. They looked at one another, and then charged. The Leader Orc, gripping his bruised snout, looked up, ready to grab the girl again before the two struck, but to his horror, they were already upon him. With arms outstretched, they delivered a double lariat straight into his gut. Though his supreme amount of fat should have absorbed the damage, the strength these two monsters had was insane. He found himself being flung back, sent flying through the air and coming back down harsh. The store shook from the impact, and several mangas fell off the racks, landing on the floor. Groaning, the orc tried to stand, looking for a weapon.

Then he heard two guns click behind him. "Hey there, little piggy~" Freezing, the Orc turned, and his eyes widened. It was that bitch he shot earlier! Only she looked very much alive, showing off her shark-like teeth with a wide grin, and her jacket open to reveal her exposed skin, which was riddled with bullet holes with red fluid leaking out. "So, who were you calling a foul-mouthed bitch~?"

Before he could even try and formulate a response, the wall close to them was demolished, ploughed straight through by an enormous figure wearing a similar uniform as the thought-dead woman, only the jacket was more like a coat as it hung down to her calves. It was obviously female, given the rather enormous bust size, and wore a helmet bearing a horn. A figure of this size could only be an extra-species. The large woman was unmoving a bit, craning her head to look at the unconscious forms of the orcs, the two new monsters called Chihiro and Iyu, Doppel still in her disguise, and then the thought-dead woman, holding the leader orc at gunpoint.

"...aw, you guys are done already?" the large figure said as she removed her helmet, revealing an Oni with a red horn in the middle of her forehead, tanned skin, and long blonde hair. "I thought the plan was for Doppel to get kidnapped and you would taken them out, Zombina-chan!"

Zombina shrugged. "It was until those two came," she said, gesturing her head towards the two newcomers. She then grinned at them. "Speaking of which, hey! Lizard boy! Nice entrance! It was totally kick-ass!"

"Er...thanks...?" Chihiro said, unsure whether to take that as a compliment before shaking his head and pointing a finger at her. "W-wait a minute! How are you alive?!"

Zombina grinned widely. "Cause I'm a zombie, duh."

"...eh?"


The police had moved in not long after, apprehending the orcs and hauling them off. Meanwhile, Chihiro, Iyu, along with Nagase were sitting in a small room. Shortly after the two had returned back to human form, and when Nagase arrived and berated the two for rushing in so recklessly, a woman calling herself Smith had dragged them away to their current location. Minutes ticked by while the three waited, all nervous. The two Amazons knew they had screwed up, but Chihiro had been reminded of when someone from 4C turned into an Amazon and started to eat his friends. Remembering that forced him back into action, ignoring Nagase's protests. Iyu had been worried and went in after him, especially when she saw him being shot at.

Nagase had tried to help them, but the police, after snapping out of their stupor, held him back and prevented him from heading in. After it was clear he actually knew them, he was taken along. "What did I say about dragging attention to yourselves?" he growled, glaring at the two. They at least had the decency to look embarrassed or ashamed of their actions. "Seriously! Now they're gonna ask us questions that they do not need to ask!"

"B-but," Chihiro bit his lip. "We were supposed to leave them there? Hiroki, you saw how the police acted. They couldn't even try and get close to those guys."

Nagase sighed, palming his face. Damn Chihiro and his heroics...oh well. What's done is done. For now, they had to worry about what these guys were going to do with them. Upon this line of thought, the door opened, revealing the woman called Smith. She was a mature woman, probably in her early to mid thirties, with long black hair falling past her shoulders and dressed professionally in a black suit and skirt with stockings and heels, along with black sunglasses that hid her eyes, as if trying to imitate an intimidating man in black. It worked, because he was nervous as hell. They knew nothing about the government in this...new world...and if they found out what Chihiro was, or what he could do...

No. No way. He wasn't about to let them take his friend. If they so much as touched him, he was going to put a bullet in between their eyes!

"...good grief," Smith said as she sat down, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Those Orcs caused me enough trouble with this job...and now I have two unknown extra-species with a guy who had a firearm on him. Without a license I might add." She gave Nagase a small glare, which he returned with a scowl, folding his arms. "You do realize that if I hadn't put in a good word because of your two friends, you would have been arrested."

"Tch."

"Now then..." Smith adjusted her sunglasses, taking out a manilla folder and opening it, revealing several documents. "You said your names were...Hiroki Nagase-kun, Iyu Hoshino-chan, and Chihiro-kun, is that right?" The three nodded. Smith gave the youngest of the three a curious glance. "No family name?"

Chihiro was silent for a while before answering the question, his voice tense. "...my mother and father never married. She died when I was young, and father and I...we're not on the best terms right now."

Smith's eyes softened. An orphan with abusive parents then. It explained a few things, then. For now, she focused on the more important facts. "Due to the extra-species laws, if a human is harm a monster in a way, shape or form, they're arrested on the spot," the woman said, looking at Nagase. "I can only assume you had that firearm because you were willing to actually shoot someone...and no doubt use it on the Orcs that were holding the people in that store hostage when your two friends intervened, am I right?"

"So what?" Nagase scoffed. "I don't give a damn about some stupid law! Actually, while we're on the subject, why the fuck is a law like that there?! You're pretty much telling them that they can get off scot-free by pulling off shit like this!"

"True, but the law works both ways. Monsters cannot harm humans, either."

"Didn't stop those pig bastards from pulling a stunt like that, did it? Nagase countered.

Smith had to admit, the boy had balls, that's for sure. He was right, though. There were a number of loopholes for the extra-species who wanted to abuse their apparent immunity by pulling off stunts like this. They hadn't technically harmed any humans, and Zombina wasn't counted, given that she was an extra-species herself. That brought on her next line of questioning, looking at the two monsters in question, who sat up straighter.

"And then there's the two of you...two monsters of unknown origin," she said, leaning forward. "The higher-ups and a few others are curious about your existence. Species who are not under the Cultural Exchange Bill are quite rare." Case in point, the slime that Smith encountered. Technically it was her job as Coordinator to report stuff like that and make slime registered in the bill, but...she had enough work as is, so she never bothered. In these two's case, however, since they were shown off publicly to everyone, and shown off in the news no less, it was impossible to shrug this off. "Normally, you two would be detained elsewhere, but the Police Chief is thankful that the two of you stepped in...even if it wasn't necessary."

Iyu blinked. "Eh?" she said, surprised. "You mean...we didn't have to intervene?"

"Nope," Smith smiled. "I had a team already working on it when you two decided to jump in. As I said, according to the law, humans cannot harm extra-species...but if another extra-species fights them, that's a whole other story."

The three teens' eyes widened. They remembered the apparent zombie, Zombina she was called, and the Oni girl who introduced herself as Tio, and the shapeshifter they saved, Doppel. They also met an honest-to-god cyclops to boot, a shy girl named Manako. In a way, from what they heard, this group sounded much like 4C, since they relied heavily on Iyu and Chihiro to eliminate the New-Type Amazons.

"Either way," the Coordinator continued. "Its because of what you two did that the Police Chief and I are sticking our necks out for you three. Now, unto business...what exactly are you two?"

The two monsters shared a look. Nagase bit his lip, unsure how to explain this. If they looked to deep, they might find out about Chihiro. That was a can of worms he wanted to avoid. Iyu looked be sharing similar thoughts. However, the situation they were in was foreign and dangerous. If they didn't answer...what would happen. Smith said that she was risking a lot, so if they didn't cooperate...but even still, she wanted to protect Chihiro. Even though she knew nothing about him, he tried so hard to make her "right," make her smile, make her remember all of the good times. In a way, she owed everything to him. When Nagase told her that Chihiro was going to die...she couldn't take it. She didn't want the boy who had risked so much, risking everything just to save her when her armlet started to kill her, to vanish from her light.

However, Chihiro gave her hand a squeeze. Surprised, she looked at him, and smiled assuringly. She then watched as he turned to Smith, and answered honestly.

"We're...Amazons."
