"Woah! There's so many guards nya," Rin said while looking over a hill far enough away so none of the guards could see them from where they were. Besides the dark had hid them pretty well.

"Ugh it's going to be a pain to get through all of them," Honoka complained.

"You were the one who suggested that we all take on this case together, so stop complaining," Umi said elbowing Honoka in the side.

"But Honoka-chan has a point, it's going to take a while to get through all of these guards," Kotori said. She saw Hanayo slide down the hill towards the way they can from and grabbed the large violin case she had brought with her the whole way here. "I've been meaning to ask, but what exactly is that?" Kotori asked, pointing at the case.

"I guess it's time to show our stuff, nya" Rin said grinning while cracking her knuckles, but this only lead the other four to be more confused. As they continued to watch her crack her knuckles they noticed something strange about her...She was shrinking?! As they watched in astonishment as she kept getting smaller and smaller, they also started to notice that her face also started deforming as her nose and mouth started to stick out more, while her ears disappeared and reappeared on her head, but more pointy and hairy. Her clothes also started to turn into fur, and her eyes changing the shape of pupil from a circle to a little slit that looked like a compressed diamond. They all stared in awe as their fellow detective turned into a yellow cat.

"This way I can get into the castle without attracting attention, nya!" Cat Rin said licking her paw. All of them seemed generally shocked, except for Hanayo who began to open the case, where a sniper rifle was revealed inside the case.

"Wow! I never thought you'd be the type to wield this kind of weapon Hanayo-chan!" Honoka looked surprised inside the case.

"Kayo-chin's full of suprises! She has so many other abilities, unlike me, nya" Cat Rin stated. However Hanayo didn't say anything, she continued assembling her sniper. Once she was done, she took off her glasses she turned around and her usual soft and kind expression was now replaced with a strong and cold expression. Her lavender eyes were also glowing a little.

Can you hear me? Hanayo's voice said inside all of their heads.

Woah! Thats so cool! Telepathy! Honoka's voice had also seemed to reach all of their heads too.

This is pretty impressive Umi thought

I never knew telepathy actually existed Kotori thought.

Ahem getting back on topic, now that we've got the telepathy, we can now talk and strategize without the enemies from hearing us. I'll stay up here and take out as many as I can, but you all have to also play your part, as for Rin you infiltrate the castle and report back to us for upcoming guards and try to find their leader, Omar Zublo Hanayo thought while loading her cartridge

Right, nya, then should I go before you guys, nya? Cat Rin stood up and looked at Hanayo with her sharp yellow eyes.

That'd probably be a good idea, just be careful. Hanayo replied while cocking her sniper.

Of course, I'm more worried about you though, nya. Rin thought.

Don't be, I'm not the one in the front lines, Hanayo replied as she looked through her scope now go. Rin went over the hill towards the castle as the guards ignored her.

"Great, it's another cat," one of the guards said as Rin passed by.

"Well less rats I guess," the other guard said as the cat went into a small hole in the wooden gate.

I can't believe that worked, Eli looked at the gate where Rin went into.

Save the amazement for later, right now we have a mission to do, Hanayo said sharply.

I kind of miss the old Hanayo-chan the one with glasses, Honoka thought forgetting about the telepathy. Hanayo turned towards her and glared at Honoka as she put her hand in front of her mouth remembering that everyone could hear her thoughts.

Idiot, Umi said looking at her. Kotori chuckled a little before grabbing her gun. She noticed her hand shaking. She wasn't used to these kinds of missions, normally she just had to arrest the person, that's how most of the cases were but occasionally they were asked to kill their targets. This was her first time getting this kind of mission, and she was terrified of the thought that she had to have blood on her hands. Eli seemed to notice Kotori's nervousness and put her hand ontop of both of Kotori's shaking hands. She realized Eli's hand was also shaking a little.

"It's going to be okay, they wouldn't make us kill for no reason, these guys can't be stopped even if we were to arrest them," Eli said in a calm voice, she squeezed Kotori's hand before making a soft smile at her. Kotori's hands were still shaking but less than before. She nodded her head, and Eli let go of her hand, despite the fact that both of them wanted to stay like that longer.

Honoka, transform! Umi thought after turning away from Eli and Kotori.

Right! Honoka replied as a similar situation as before with Rin happened, only Honoka grew bigger and wider and her ears were in half circles rather than triangles. As Honoka was now replaced with a orange bear, Umi went on her back and summoned a bow made out of water. Kotori herself summoned out her pet bird, Chun as it landed in her hands.

"Chun!" Chun said. Kotori petted it's head.

"Ok Chun, I need you to go into your third stage," Kotori requested it.

"Chun!" Chun replied, as it jumped off of Kotori's hands and spread its wings. As it did it's wing span started to to grow from its original span to being at least 50 feet. It looked a little funny at first, because it's body hadn't changed form, only its wings. Then it's body started to change its beak becoming much sharper and longer and the eyes becoming the size of baseballs. Chun now stood there majestically, as all of the girls watched in astonishment, Kotori giggled a little and petted Chun's beak.

"I need you to take out the guards that are in the towers can you do that?" Kotori asked.

"CHUUUN!" It's now loud and low voice said.

"What was that?!" One of the guards asked, pulling out his sword.

"Crap! Let's move!" Umi shouted. Honoka roared in reply before running down the hill, meanwhile Hanayo had already taken out 2 of the guards who were about to report to the castle about their attack. Kotori'shands had stopped shaking as she grabbed her gun and went down the hill to also charge at the guards. Eli then moved down the hill looking at her hand before clenching it into a fist and continued to run towards the guards empty handed.

Not now I can't use it yet, she thought.

What? Use what? Kotori asked as she looked away to shoot a guard in the head.

Oh sorry, nothing, Eli replied as she grabbed a sword from one of the fallen guards. She went up to one of the guards and made a diagonal uppercut to him, slicing his chest as blood spurted out. Eli then went into the next guard she could find and took them out as well.

"Take this!" One of the guards yelled from behind Eli.

Crap! Eli thought, as she began to turn around the body fell ontop of her, she took a few steps back to regain her balance and saw a arrow stuck in his back, but it soon disappeared as it turned into water.

"Are you okay?" Umi said as she ran over to Eli as guards who were going to attack her were whacked by Honoka.

"Y-yeah, I'm just kind afraid of the dark, so I'm not as concentrated," Eli answered rubbing the back of her neck nervously. Umi blinked a few times.

"But didn't you normally steal at night?" Umi asked a little confused.

"Well yeah bu-" Eli started to say before she was cut off.

Hey what're you two doing down there?! Hanayo stated as she shot another guard down.

S-sorry! Both Eli and Umi replied before going their separate ways into the battle.

There's more guards coming, nya! Rin thought as she was dodging getting stepped on by one of the guards. Once she got away from the stampede she made her way down the wide and empty halls of the castle. The walls were made of stone so it was kind of cold and as Rin was stepped there was a soft patter that bounced all around the walls, proving its emptiness. As she walked she heard something loud above her.

"CHUUN!" Rin stopped and looked up.

What was that, nya!? Rin still stood there looking up.

That's Chun, my pet bird, she heard Kotori say. Although Rin began to wonder how she couldn't have noticed something so big traveling with them on their way here. It's a long story, Kotori then thought. Rin decided to leave it that as she began walking again.~Outside the castle~

Guys I think I'm starting to reach my limit, Honoka thought panting before whacking another guard.

I think I am too, Umi said as she shakily shot an arrow at a guard.

I won't be able to keep this up, Hanayo said their telepathy connection started getting worse. Eli slashed another guard, before putting her hands on her knees while panting, but not for long as another guard came up to her ready to attack.

Chun is reaching his limit too, Kotori thought as she looked up where Chun was beginning to have a harder time flying.

Somehow none of us are injured though, Honoka thought to herself as she returned to her human form and was now attacking with a fire sword she had summoned.

"Just how many of them are there!?" Umi shouted as Hanayo's telepathy connection broke.

This Omar guy must have a lot of money to be able to hire this many people, Eli thought as she weakly slashed at a guard, he easily parried her attack and slashed down and hit her left shoulder. Eli winced in pain, and kicked the guard in the stomach before using her good arm to stab him through the chest. She then brought her right hand up and to her shoulder as blood seeped between her fingers. Umi pulled her bow back as she created another arrow made of water. Her breath got shaky as her energy started to seep out of her, she let the arrow fly and missed her target. Umi cursed under her breath as she started to create another arrow. The guard used this as an advantage and ran up to her as he swung his sword and cut her left thigh. Umi began to lean more onto her right side as the blood started to ooze out of her leg. She took the arrow she made and stabbed the guard in the chest deep enough to reach his heart. Hanayo coughed out some blood in her hand.

Dammit we're starting to lose our position, Hanayo said looking at her hand. I need to communicate with Rin, if I can get the telepathy connection going for at least a minute or two that should be good enough, Hanayo thought to herself as she tried to concentrate. Honoka kept slashing her fire sword, but she was starting to get tired again.

My bear form took too much out of me Honoka thought as she slashed at another guard. I want some bread... I want some of Yukiho's tea... Honoka began to let her guard down and a guard came up from behind her. Honoka turned around and parried his attack, but he overpowered her and slashed her arm. Honoka squeezed her eyes shut from the pain and thrust her sword up knocking the guards sword out of his hand, Honoka then stabbed his stomach with her sword. Kotori had gotten to the point where she didn't need to close her eyes to kill anymore. She had run out of ammo from her pistol and now was attacking with one of the guards swords. She swung her sword to the ground while creating a wave of air to knock out some of the guards. Kotori began to lose hope as more guards rushed out.

This is hopeless, She thought as she looked around to look as she and her friends were being pushed back. She swung her sword down at a guard, but he dodged her attack and slashed her side. Kotori yelped a little but, put her hand out in front of the guard while using her wind to knock the guard into two others. Kotori fell down on one knee and clutched her side she could feel the warm liquid on her hand. Hanayo closed her eyes painfully as blood started to come out of them. She concentrated hard trying to reach Rin and the others with her telepathy.

~Back inside the castle~

Rin felt a shock in the back of her head.

Kayo-chin? Are you okay? Rin thought as she stood up from where she was standing.

Well I'm not dead if that's what you mean, Hanayo thought.

I guess that's something, nya Rin thought.

Did you find Omar? Eli thought as she slashed another guard

I think so, nya Rin looked ahead where there were three doorways.

What do you mean 'think' Umi thought as she shot one of the guards swords as an arrow.

There's three passageways, each leading somewhere different I assume, nya Rin thought looking at each of the passage ways, from where she was standing there three walls each wall had a passageway in it.

Can you tell us where to go? Hanayo asked.

One sec I'll show you where to go, nya Rin closed her eyes and concentrated on the way she came from as she did the other five felt a tingling in their heads. Then as Rin finished her pathway each of them got mental images as where to go, until it reached where Rin was.

Alright let's move out Hanayo thought as she opened her eyes and wiped the blood off of her.

Right! The other four said as they each knocked down the guard they were currently fighting as they ran towards the wooden gate that Rin went into. Honoka was the first one to make it in, followed by Umi and Eli, Kotori slashed at another guard who was in her way before going inside, Hanayo was the last one in due to having to run from all the way to the hill. Once they were inside Kotori made Chun retreat, where he reappeared back in Kotori's cupped hands.

"Good boy," she said before Chun disappeared in a fade of light.

"Alright let's keep moving," Hanayo said breaking their telepathic communication. As they all walked down the empty stone halls. Kotori looked at everyone's condition, Hanayo looked worn out and it there was some dried blood on her face, but otherwise she looked fine. Honoka's arm had blood that soaked through her clothes and hand as she held it walking down, Umi had a cloth tied around her thigh and some blood had seeped though it. She looked over at Eli, who was holding her shoulder as blood went between her fingers. Kotori herself was holding her side where she had been slashed. They walked in silence all the way to where Rin was. Rin was back in her human form and ran over to Hanayo and the others.

"Are you okay, Kayo-chin?! You didn't overdo it again, did you? Rin asked concerned taking both of her hands into hers.

"I'm fine don't worry, Rin-chan," Hanayo replied squeezing Rin's hands. Rin nodded as if understanding and let go of Hanayo's hands. She looked at the others.

"Alright, this is where we're going to have to take our separate ways, there's six of us so two people for each passageway," Rin said looking at each of them.

"Umi?" Honoka asked looking at Umi.

"Guess I've got no choice," Umi said being dragged along by Honoka. Honoka observed each of the passageways before making her choice to go into the one on the right.

"Let's meet back here alright?" Honoka said looking behind her. All of them shook their heads in agreement and with that Honoka and Umi went into the passageway as they were engulfed in darkness. Eli got shivers up her spine as she noticed how dark the passageways got. Hanayo and Rin went into the path straight ahead. Which left Kotori and Eli with the one on the left. Eli hesitated as she looked at the dark hallway, there seemed to be no end, Kotori looked at her.

"Are you okay?" She asked concerned as she saw Eli shake.

"Y-yeah...I'm just afraid of the dark," she replied as her stomach did somersaults. Eli felt something soft and warm touch her hand, she screamed and looked down to see Kotori's hand.

"Oh I'm sorry I just thought that if we held hands you'd be less scared," Kotori said as she began pulling her hand back, but Eli grabbed it back again.

"I-It's okay, I was just a little startled is all," Eli said holding Kotori's hand. With this Kotori nodded her head.

"Then shall we get going?" Kotori asked with a smile. Eli nodded and smiled back as the two of them went into the dark passageway together.

~On the other side of the passageway~

"Hmmmm? It seems like we have some unwanted guests coming," a girl with red hair and purple eyes said twirling her hair with her index finger, she was sitting on a throne and was holding her head in her hand on one of the armrests.

"It's seems like it," a girl with black hair and pinkish red eyes said looking at the passageway was. "Guess we should take care of them," she continued as she smirked. The other girl on the throne also smirked sadistically.

"I guess so," the red haired girl said.
