Chapter 3: Raven's Hidden Feelings

Yelled Raven. According to the troops, Raymond went undercover as one of the troops. He purposely tripped to wake Hamtaro, Hamtaro made his excape and we haven't seen him since. Said the second in command. Raven was pacing back in forth. Where could he have gone? Raven asked. I don't know sir, said the second in command, his paw prints stop at one spot where he seems to have fainted and was dragged off. Raven looks frustrated. He's pacing faster and faster. We must get that ham, he's important to our mission and the well-fair of Emily. Said Raven. Excuse me sir, Said second in command, but I don't think you should put your personal feelings in the way of your duties. Raven stomps up to second in command. Second in command recedes down his chair. She is more important to me than freedom it's elf. Me and Raymond only got along when she would come and talk to us. I used to worry about her whenever we went on the battlefield. I used to sing her songs when she was scared at night. If me and Raymond didn't have her, we wouldn't have stayed together as long. I used to look after her... Probably to protectively... Hey, what's big brothers for? Raven said. Second in command let out a big sigh. Sir, you are now part of the Baker Brother Mafia, your only family is the Bakers, not Raymond, not Emily, the Bakers. The Bakers are the ones who take care of you. They care, your so called family doesn't. Raven sighs and looks out a window. He watches as the guards patrol the ruins.

Raymond is standing atop a tree branch talking to himself. Too protect the wish seeds, only two can know about it... one is the guardian, one is chosen by the guardian... Said Raymond So why would the Baker mafia search for the chosen one here... do they know something I don't? Raymond spots Oxnard walking alone towards the club house. Oxnard alone? This spells trouble... Raymond looks around. He spots an ambush set up. I knew it, they are after Oxnard too, but why... Well I better get down there before they get him. Raymond climbs down the tree. He runs up to Oxnard. Hey, your that Raymond guy. Oxnard said. Raymond pulls Oxnard down just in time to dodge to hamster who was jumping towards him. Raymond takes Oxnard out of sight. Woah, you saved me again. Oxnard said. I have something to say to the Ham-hams Raymond said, Please take me there but take an off road route. Yes sir and Oxnard leads the way.
So your this Raymond dude? Stan said. Raymond nodded. I'm here to clarify everything. Raymond said. So sit tight and I'll explain everything. Raymond walks up to the table and takes a seat.

Several years ago, a mafia was created by two bothers, Billy Baker and Fredrick Baker. Billy had the power to motivate a crowd, but wasn't very bright and has a tendency to act before thinking. Fredrick thought out all the battles and keeps his brother from making stupid decisions but wasn't a favorite with the crowd. The two together was a perfect leader. They gained many followers. Soon they where more powerful than any ham mafia ever created! So a resistance was formed. Among the resistance was me, my twin brother Raven, and my younger sister Emily. We were very loyal to the resistance and provided them with many victories.
Well one day, Raven was captured. When we rescued him a month later, he told us of a place where we can end the mafia's rule once and for all. So he lead us there and it turns out to be a trap set up by my brother himself. The entire resistance was captured except me and Emily. That's when me and Emily separated. She went after the ship that carried the resistance, I chased after my brother hoping ot talk some sense into him. I've been following him for months and he's still irritable.
Well, the odd thing is that Bijou looks almost exactly like Emily. When I saved her and Hamtaro, I even thought she was Emily. Raven portly seen her and thought she was Emily too. She is currently being held somewhere in the ruins.

There was a long silence. Then Oxnard decided to speak up. What about Hamtaro? Is he captured by the mafia too? Oxnard asked. Frankly, I have no idea where Hamtaro is. He was nearly caught by the mafia, but I was able to help him excape. I haven't seen him since. Boss, still having disbelief in his eyes walks up to Raymond. Is there any ways to save Bijou? Boss asked with hope in the sound of his voice. If we work together, it is possible. Boss sighs in relief. What are we ganna do about Hamtaro. Asked Oxnard. You don't have to worry about him. The mafia doesn't have anything to do with Hamtaro that I know of. Raven portly saw Bijou and Hamtaro together and plucked him to give her company. But we must work quickly, no time to loose. Because the penalty for espionage which is what Emily is down for is extermination. Everyone gasps. Boss faints.

Hamtaro wakes in a very comfy bed that is fit for a ham king. Hamtaro gets out of bed and looks around the room. It's a nicely decorated room, kind of guest room for special guests. Hamtaro looks at the pictures on the walls and is surprised to see that all of them are pictures of the ham-hams. Some where photos, some were paintings, he even sees a miniature statue of himself. No windows, all there is is lights. It's not long till a ham wearing a maid's outfit walks into the room. She excitedly curtseys for him. I'm so glad you are awake! His majesty is requesting your presence in the thrown room. Says the maid. Hamtaro said. The maid grabs Hamtaro by the arm and leads him down many halls, none with a single window, just lights. After a while of walking, they arrive at the big doors of the thrown room. I hope we run into each other again Hamtaro! Said the maid and she runs off. Hamtaro looked at her confused as she runs down the hall. He pushes open the door slowly and gently. He cannot count how many things went through his mind, but there is one thing for sure, that he's not ganna be prepared for what is going ot happen next...
