Miz-K Productions presents:
A girl in long purple hair was standing towards a boy with blue hair, as he kneeled to him.
"Tohka… I know we have known each other for a long time, but… I want to be by your side, forever. Will you marry me?"
"OH!" Tohka sobbed, "Shido…"
She nodded, as they agreed to be married to each other.
This is Tohka Yatogami and Shido Itsuka. They are Ty Ko Ky agents, and as of now, former boyfriend and girlfriend. They are now fiancés. Tohka is the strongest of the Ty Agents, and as of right now, is celebrating the happiest moment of her life.
She asked, "Oh, Shido, when's the wedding?"
Shido said, "I'd like to ask if Queen Tia will say yes… I mean, she can approve of the idea. But let's not rush things, Tohka."
"I won't. We could go out and celebrate!" She held up her hand, showing her engagement ring. She added, "We can ask Mom about it, later. I love you, Shido."
They share a kiss, as they are going to be the future Mr. & Mrs. Shido Itsuka.
However…

At Queen Tia's office…
"I'm sorry." Queen Tia said, "I am afraid that you cannot be married… yet."
"WHY?" Tohka sobbed, as she pleaded, "Shido proposed to me! Why are you taking it away from me?"
Tia said, "I'm sorry, but we have an important mission. Shiina is busy hunting down an enemy traitor of Ty Ko Ky. Last we check, he is near the port of Los Angeles. I sent Shiina to America, to hunt down the traitor."
Shido snarled, "I'll bet it's that elusive Suwa, again. He never learns."
Tia nodded, "Quite right. As for Sena, she's on another assignment, and she won't return until later."
"What assignment?"
"Top secret. Even I cannot dare to say what it is. So, I'm assigning you two to hop aboard a boat to this mysterious island." She showed a map of the island and said, "I sent a couple of our rookie agents to investigate, but they never returned. And I grow worried. I couldn't send my best agents, so I'm assigning it to my top agent. I know you'd never disappoint me."
"Oh, n-n-no, I would never." Shido shivered. Tohka bowed, "Very well. I want this so badly, but I want to be married, once this job is done."
Tia stated, as she sat up, "You'll marry, when you're finished, young lady! Business before pleasure." She smiled, "Only then, I will allow you to marry him. You have my consent, but… This comes first."
Tohka pouted, "Ohhh, alright… But the minute we return, you better promise us our wedding."
"Right. BUT NO INVITES FROM STRANGERS!" Tia called out.
Shido asked, "Uh, where exactly is this island?"
Tia stated, "It's somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I cannot even locate where it's been, but it's mysterious. You'll be leaving for the island, right away. And I will send someone to aid you." She glared at her, "Because I don't want you to come back in one second, saying you finished."
Tohka sobbed, "You know me too well, Mother…" She nodded, "Alright. Shido, let's go."
They headed off, as they were prepared for their biggest mission to date. If they come back victorious and alive, Tohka and Shido will finally get married.
Fate:
Beast Island
Meanwhile, across the ocean, in America, two women were heading into a huge building. One was with long blonde hair and blue hair on her left side, wearing a blue blouse and jeans, carrying a briefcase. The other was very tall, with long black hair and glasses, wearing a white coat and a black blouse and skirt, with black boots.
"Well, Cassandra, this is it." The blonde woman held up the documents, "In a few moments, we're going to be rich. This will give us a chance to learn of what your uncle left us."
"You're certainly right." Cassandra said, "You know, my uncle was rich, and he has millions in Pesos."
"Not Pesos. Euros. We're going to be soaked in so much Euros that we'll retire in style!" She glared, "But… It better be enough in American Currency."
"Si, Farra."
Meet Farra & Cassandra. They were on their way to the Otomegawa Industries building, to meet their attorneys. Four women in white school uniforms. What is the reason, and why do they want money? Well, the four women you see here are attorneys for Cassandra's late uncle (on Farra's late mother's side). And on this day, they are given a huge inheritance amounting up to, as rumored, ten million dollars.
A woman in black hair, wearing glasses, called, "Yes?"
The speakerbox called, "The two Americans have arrived."
She smiled, "Send them in." She called out, "Ladies, the new meat have arrived. Let's give them a warm welcome."
She sat down, as the girls entered the office. Cassandra was munching on an egg, and then stepped in. But Farra tapped her shoulder, and went in first. They approached the four women, and she bowed.
"Miss Stevens, Miss Martinez," the woman in glasses said, "My name is Kuroko Kamenaga. Which one of you is the dead uncle?"
Cassandra raised her hand, as Farra nodded, "Yes, this is Cassandra Martinez. I'm Farra Stevens, her Financial Checker. We're the two women that your benefactor from Pinnacle S, Sophia Potter, has sent."
"Ah yes, the mail-order stock. And do you have any relations to Ms. Martinez's uncle?"
"He was my mother's brother-in-law." She sighed, "Dear mom… She died, days before Mother's Day 2010. Cassandra recently lost her uncle."
Kuroko asked, "Miss? Who was your uncle?"
Cassandra said, "He's my Uncle Ricardo Rodriguez Martinez-Harrington. On her side." She pointed at Farra, who was startled a bit.
Kuroko chuckled and said, "Well, how witty you two are. And now, ladies, I'd like you to meet your uncle's attorneys, who handled his affairs in America, Spain, and Japan." She introduced them, a woman with red hair, "This is Miss Akatori Yasune." Farra shook her hand, as Kuroko introduced another one with blue hair and an eyepatch, "This is Miss Aoryu Goku…" Cassandra shook her hand, and Kuroko concluded, to a woman in white hair, "And Miss Shiromi Torayoshi." Farra shook her hand. Cassandra shook Akatori's hand, while Farra shook Aoryu's hand, and so on, and so on. Farra cried, as she broke up the handshake tangles, "RECEDE!"
She said to Kuroko, "Well, let's get down to business. Just how much was his legacy?"
Kuroko smirked, "Oh, a very generous one." She added, "You seem to care about money, more than formalities."
"Well-." Cassandra offered her a sandwich, as she smiled, "Thank you, Cassie." She continued, as Cassandra made her sandwich, "You see, where I come from, it's business before pleasure." She held her hand out, but Cassandra inadvertently spread jelly on her palm. Cassandra gasped as she cleaned it off. Akatori offered a white handkerchief, and Cassandra said, "Gracias." She cleaned it off, and gave back the stained hanky to Akatori, "Here."
Akatori tossed it, as she was smiling. Farra slapped her, as she was furious. Kuroko barked, "Ladies, please!"
"Sorry. Now, uh, what did he leave my friend?"
Kuroko said, "Well, he was always eccentric."
"He never believed in banks." Aoryu said.
Shiromi smiled, "He insisted on leaving his money in cash."
They lifted up a huge amount, in stacks of bills. Kuroko said, "Here you are. Twenty-Five Million Euros."
The girls gasped in shock. Twenty-Five Million Euros amounts to about Thirty Million Dollars American!
Cassandra asked, "What is that?"
Farra said, "It's money, I think." She held up the briefcase, "It's going to a generous cause. Cassie, take it!"
She opened her briefcase, as Cassandra took the money. But Kuroko stopped her, "Not so fast, Miss Martinez." she explained, "Well, there's still the little matter of your uncle's fees."
"Oh, sure." Cassandra smiled, "So, what is a few Euros?"
Kuroko said, "Well, this isn't the era of spending lots on taxes, anymore. There is the charge of legal fees, foriegn exchange, and a few other incidentals. Ladies…"
They divided the money into four piles, and only took off a sliver of the profit. Farra nodded, "That much?"
Kuroko grinned, "You won't need it, where you're going. I mean, uh…" She said, "You won't need all of it." she gave her the receipt, which Farra takes it. Cassandra reached for the money, but…
"Oh, there's more. We cannot forget the taxes." Cassandra nodded, as Farra replied, "Why, how much are we looking at?"
Shiromi smiled, "We're looking at a couple hundred thousand from your inheritance, as your uncle was very generous."
Akatori grinned, "And delicious, too…" She cleared her throat, as Kuroko huffed, "Well, delicious to his currency."
Farra growled, "How much, exactly?"
Akatori smiled, "This includes income taxes… inheritance taxes…"
Aoryu said, "But we're only accepting ONE tax in our care."
Farra asked, in forced anger, "And what… pray tell… is that?"
The girls said, "Our taxes from our boss. Feral Tax!" The girls take a lot of the money from the girl's inheritance pile. Farra was so annoyed that she closed her briefcase, knowing that she and Cassandra had the amount enclosed to them - pocket change.
Kuroko smiled, "And done. You are left with 350 Euros. Most of which you will exchange for American Currency."
Farra took the money and growled, "Thank you."
Cassandra sighed, "Wish Uncle Ricky had left me the taxes." Farra barked, "Is that all we get?" Kuroko held up a deed and said, "You also get an island."
"An island?" Farra asked, as she took the deed.
"Yes. Somewhere near the Pacific Ocean. We have the map and deed for you."
"How much taxes?"
"No tax at all." Kuroko stated, "In fact, you won't be needing it. You have your travel money, save it wisely, and be a part of your own private island together."
Cassandra smiled, "Glad there are no taxes there."
The four women nodded, as they said, "Oh, sure there isn't." They nodded to each other, as Farra whispered, "Watch yourself, they may have a vacuum cleaner with them."
Kuroko gave Cassandra the money, the deed to the island, and a document for a boat they will own to travel with, which Farra takes. She then said, as the women bowed, "Well, that sets up the feast, I mean, uh… sets up your new future. Good day."
"Come, Cassie." they departed, as the girls sat down, grinning evilly in secret. Something fishy is going on with these four women, but we know one thing - Farra and Cassandra were swindled.
Kuroko whispered, "Won't be long now. They'll be off to the island, before you know it. Are the preparations ready?"
Akatori nodded, "Yes. Looks like they won't need this money, after all." She tossed it in the trash and giggled. Kuroko said, "Come. We must get ready."
The four women left, as Farra & Cassandra head off to the island, thanks to Cassie's uncle's inheritance: a mere 350 Euros (or $400 US).

Days later, in Los Angeles, a tall woman with light lavender hair was escorting Tohka and Shido to the dock.
"Thank you for guiding us to the island, Miss Kyrie."
Kyrie said, "Do not thank me. Queen Tia offered to have me escort you, and that's exactly what I am doing."
Shido said, "So, you're coming with us?"
"Always. We'll rent a houseboat, and travel to the island. I will provide you rations, since the boat has no electricity."
"No stove?" Tohka sobbed.
"It's alright. I planned to have you people rough it. But only if we cook outdoors."
"Yeah, but, I want hot food…"
"I'm sorry. Queen Tia says to spare no expense. But at least you'll be satisfied with the lunch I have prepared for your voyage."
Tohka sighed, "Gee… thanks, I guess…"
They arrived at the boat, only there were two boats. Shido asked, "We're not going in there, are we?"
Kyrie replied, "The left one. The right one is already rented, sadly… it's a dump."
Tohka said, "I see your point. Both boats are rundown, but they look like new."
Kyrie called to the captain and said, "Excuse me, how much for the left one?"
The captain said, "It's $20 for the boat. You can have it, as long as you don't wreck it." Kyrie nodded and paid for it. The captain added, "Also, an extra $20, please?"
Shido asked, "For what?"
"Traveler's fee." He said, as Kyrie paid the rest, "Thank you. Now, bon voyage."
Kyrie sighed, "There goes my savings… $40 gone."
Tohka said, "Whatever this mission is, I hope it's worth it." She added, "Will you come to my wedding, Miss Kyrie?"
Kyrie smiled, "Certainly. Anything for the future leader of Ty Ko Ky."
They stepped in and sailed off to the island. Hours later, Farra & Cassandra arrive, with Cassandra lugging in their luggage, on a dolly. The captain called, "Well, I got your boat ready."
Farra smiled, "Thank you. How much?"
Captain said, "$20."
Farra gave him a twenty, and said, "Thank you." Cassandra smiled, "Isn't it a beaut? We were able to spruce it up. OH! Let's charge extra for a crew!"
"What do you mean a crew?" Farra scolded, "We don't need a crew. I'm running this boat!"
Cassandra nodded, "Well, it's a good thing the captain didn't mention any taxes."
The captain returned, as he added, "Oh, that's an extra $20 for Traveler's fee." He took a fifty and added, "And also, an extra $30, for Sea Tax."
Farra stopped the captain and added, "Uh, sir?" She gave him a silver dollar, and he said, "Thank you. Well, bon voyage."
They waved goodbye, as Farra shoved Cassandra. She yelled, "Why did you open that trap of yours?"
"Well, I didn't know it's Sea Tax-."
"Come on, and let's take a look at the boat!" Farra ordered, as they went inside. She added, as they stepped in, "And next time, you keep that big mouth of yours shut! SHUT AT ALL TIMES!"
"I couldn't help it." Cassandra sniffled. They went inside and examined the boat, looking to see if everything was working. This would be the start of a new adventure… especially for everyone involved in this trip.
