"Hm?" Anna curiously hummed, looking behind her. All she saw was nature, though. All she saw were moving greeneries and harmless totems. "Anna?" She heard her friend call her name. "Yeah, Lance?" The girl smiled, as she looked back at him. "Why did you look behind you?" Lance raised his left brow, staring curiously. "Ah, I'm not sure either, really" She sheepishly grinned, and rubbed the back of her head. "It's just… I think I heard something…" She looked back at the trees and bushes again. "Heard something, huh?" Lance joined her, and stared at the plants. "You're hearing is as good as ever…"

"Of course!"

*Rustle* *Rustle* Again, Anna heard the rustling of bushes, causing her to look back behind her for the second time. "Again?" Lance said, sounding very confused. Anna shrugged, and kept her look at the bushes. Finally, Lance stood up. Slowly, he made his way to the closest shrubbery. With no hesitation, he checked, behind, and inside it. After a while, however, he was unsuccessful at finding and feeling for anything. "There's nothing in her, though…" He looked even more confused. "Also, I don't really hear anything" Lance added, looking at Anna. "Hey! Like you said, my hearing is great!" She protested, getting an eye roll from the gun man. "Seriously, though… I don't se-"

"NYAAAA!"

Lance and Anna jolted, and quickly looked back at the shrub. A yellow figure zoomed towards the gunner's chest. "What the-!" He exclaimed, feeling a light thump at his chest. Instinctively, the gunner caught the creature with both of his hands. Lance looked down to clearly see whatever it was. "Wha… MeowMeow?!" He sounded very surprised. "Who..?" Anna, looking quite puzzled, walked closer to look at the yellow figure. "I-Is that a cat?" She was taken a back a bit. The furry animal looked up to see the two people with a big grin on his face.

"It IS a cat! How do you know his name?" Anna asked Lance with a smile on her face, while petting the cat. "Well… the three of us went on adventure a while ago. We helped others, including him, who was asking for cat food. And, well… he kinda just stuck around with us…" Lance looked back down at MeowMeow, looking a little turned off. "Then why wasn't he with you guys when we met..?" Anna asked with a frown. She gasped, and furrowed her eyebrows at her friend. "Is it because you hated cats?! And Matt agreed because he wasn't us close to him as he is with NoLegs?!" She crossed her arms. "No! That's not it!" Lance defended himself. "Okay, explain it, then!" She sighed.

"Alright, then…"

"So basically, you guys woke up, with him just gone?" Anna asked, sounding a little concerned. "That's right. We even looked around for a long while, since NoLegs was sad. Eventually, though, we had to move, and we never saw him again…" Lance looked back down at MeowMeow, who laid his head against the boy's chest. He felt a little guilt, and slightly stroked the cat's head with his hand. "Aww… So you DO have a heart!" Anna teased the boy. "H-Hey! I just feel a little bad for him, alright? Is that so wrong?" Lance frowned, and looked away. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry…" Anna sighed, and gave a smile.

"Why don't we show him to the team, then?"

"Hey guys!" Anna happily greeted the other three, who were walking around near her home. "Oh! Hey, Anna!" Natalie waved her hand. "Yo" Matt greeted, but kept his look at NoLegs, who was playing with the boy. Seconds after, Lance showed himself at the team. "Hey dude! Did you have fun with Anna?" Matt snorted, annoying the gunman a little. "Shut it. Did YOU have fun with Natalie?" He bent down, and let go of the yellow cat. "Of course I did!" The blonde boy grinned, and looked back at his friend. "WOAH!"

"MEOWMEOW?!"

"~NYA?!" NoLegs sprung up, and turned around. His fur stood up, as he saw the other cat. MeowMeow jumped too, and ran towards the other cat. The blue furball started to run towards him too, and tackled him down to the ground. "Nya!" NoLegs cheered again, reunited with his friend. "Aww! Looks like NoLegs is very ecstatic to see his old friend!" Natalie giggled, looking at the pair of animals. Both were so quick and agile, it almost seems like they were having a sugar rush. "I'm glad to see MeowMeow back!" Matt exclaimed.

"How did you two find him?"

"Well… he sorta found US, first…" Anna sweatdropped, as Lance nodded. "Yeah… he just leapt out of a bush, and grabbed onto me" the gunman looked, us the two felines played around. "Really..? Well, do you know the story as to how we met MeowMeow, Anna?" Matt asked the girl. "I do! Lance already told me about it" She rubbed her temple. "Well, then, do you know how powerful he is?" Natalie asked Anna, causing her to look curiously at the mage. "No, Lance just told me about how he ran away while you guys were resting…" She mumbled, sounding very interested. "Alright, then" Natalie smiled.

"MeowMeow is actually scarily powerful!"

"How so?" Anna sounded even more curious. "Have you seen his massive steel blade?" Matt asked her. "I have" Anna nodded, before looking at MeowMeow, and back to Matt.

"Well… did you know that it grows to be a couple hundred thousand bigger than itself?"

"…What?" Anna looked even more puzzled, than she already had. "I said… MeowMeow's sword grows way bigger when he attacks other enemies" Matt repeated his sentence. "Wha… H-how? What do you mean?" The archer rubbed the back of her head again.

"Hey MeowMeow!"

The yellow cat turned around, hearing Matt call his name. "~Nya?" He tilted his head. "Can you destroy those giant bugs over there?" The boy asked, pointing at a group of flying insects, varying in colours. MeowMeow looked at their direction, before looking back at Matt. He gave him a grin, and dashed towards the insects.

"HnnNYAaa!"

MeowMeow leapt up in the air, firmly grasping his blade, and slowly swung it behind his back. Quickly, the blade grew greatly in size, almost touching the ground below. "NYA!" With a big swing, he pummelled the ground, where the different foes flew around.

*THUMP*

"… Yeah… See what I mean?" Matt sweatdropped, looking at the different body parts that were scattered around. Anna kept silent for a while, admiring as MeowMeow's blade reverted back to its normal size, and as he land on the ground. "Yeaaaah…"

"That's Epic..!"
