Author's Note:
I was going to add the happenings in Gajou, however, that would have made this chapter longer, so I cut and pasted it into the next chapter. Another, thing for a while I was thinking, about moving these chapters into the original Phineas Flynn the Badger. Should I change that into a crossover and move these to that?
Previously…
Valiant and his group searched for Jeremy and found a hatch leading to where he had been taken. Ninja Dogs of OWCA took him to a safe house that Valiant could use for 2 days to heal. While recovering, Rocket remembers an experience before the first meeting with Weed and gives his side of how the past version of himself along with all of Hougen's armies were taken to the past and brought to Danville, America two days ago by two evil scientists.
That was the same day as Phineas and friends made the Genetic Chamber 2.0. On that day, they also worked on a side project while they waited for the battery for the chamber to charge before they could finish it. The side project was a food-based waterpark, which the dog army from the past ate. After which, Otto, confirmed to them that they were not in Japan anymore, but they were not in their period, either. Before Otto could introduce them to Hougen's Great-Grandson, Pinky's disguise as among Otto's followers was almost exposed by Past Bat, who quickly revealed himself by catapulting Otto into the sandpaper factory again, before flying off with his jetpack, to the disbelief of the army from the past.
The two scientists, turned into dogs tried to take control of the army for themselves, but Sheila and Perry sent the army back to their place and time, Hougen was displeased that they attempted to usurp him, just as they were convinced, they were pulled back to the present, not noticing their disappearance instructed them to go to Zen, his secret general, and say Mr. H sent them, so Zen's action doesn't trace back to them.
From Rocket's recollection, it is revealed that Zen went far beyond expectations to accomplish this. Tenken and Jeremy put together that Zen implemented red herrings to mislead them into believing that Mr. H was human, causing them to look in the wrong places, not realizing that Mr. H was Hougen. To do this, the pieces of literature in evil schools were written by Zen, obviously not by Hougen, to spread the basics of his ideologies. Jeremy informed CSM Weaver of this new information about Mr. H and Zen.
Chapter 7:Zetsu Tenrou Battouga…
Otsuki, Japan, 6:55 pm…
Valiant's POV:
As I stood by the woodlands on the outskirts of the hotel, looking up at the moon, thinking about my mother, asking "Mother… is what I am doing right?" Tanken came up to me as I turned to him and as he barked, "Valiant, there's one more thing I need to tell you. How to do the leader's technique." I turned farther to face him better asking, "Technique?" Tenken replied with an intense stare, "That's right. The technique that can bring down our largest foes, the giant bear, Akakabuto, the evil Great-Dane, Hougen, then Monsoon, and stopping the werewolves plaque." And I gasped, getting to use it while under control would be a great help to our mission, he walked us to the woods, just outside the boundaries, so as not to get OWCA banned from reserving this place again, but not so far to be found by the hunters.
6:58 pm
When we got to a good spot, Tenken barked, "I'm going to teach you, the successor, how to do the Leader's technique." He looked over his shoulder towards me as he continued, "Watch carefully as I demonstrate." He ran towards the tree and jumped up to the branch high up, biting, spinning on it in a quick motion, and jumping off, as he landed, the branch fell, cut cleanly. Tenken looked over his shoulder and barked, "That's the Leader's special attack: The Zetsu Tenrou Battouga." I stared at him with amazement as I repeated, "Zetsu Tenrou Battouga?" Just then, Max, the unpaid intern, came running with great urgency as he yelled, "Emergency, emergency!" We all turn to him, "Two of the Agents, Agent Phineas, and Agent Sheila, while their mission end up in grave danger." I saw him get out a device, "I am setting one of our tunnels up to send you to their location in America, as fast as I can." We all look at him in shock as it took him a minute to set up a tunnel. I can't believe that we have to go all the way to America as it appears.
7:00 pm
Then his watch beeps, signaling is the top of the hour, and then he stops. He calms a bit and says, "Oh, wait, the automatronics just shut down, luckily.". he looks up from his device, "They are safe now." We all just stared at him, annoyed that he got us all worked up. Max then noticed our unimpressed expression and apologized, bowing per Japanese customs, "False alarm, my apologies." And gestured to his device, What is it called? Laptop, as it shows the automatons leaving the two agents alone, Tenken rolled his eyes, barking, "At least they are alright." Max turned and pointed back toward the hotel, "Going back to my room now." Max walked back that way as he said, "Sorry, for bothering you two." Tenken turned back to me and barked, "So, anyways. Zetsu Tenrou Battouga." I turned back toward him as well, asking, "The move you've just shown is the Zetsu Tenrou Battouga?" Tenken nodded and explained, "Yeah. The Battouga isn't about biting. It's about cutting. If you bite too strongly, you won't spin. Too weakly, it won't cut." I stared at him intently with curiosity as he gestured to the tree in front of us, "Give it a shot, Valiant. Show me the Bear-Hound abilities your father passed on to you." I nodded.
I looked up at the branch, and then started to do a running jump, jumping high off the ground and up to the branch 10 ft, bit onto it, and tried spinning around it, but I slipped off and fell on my side. I staggered up unto my feet, looking up at that branch, Tenken barked "That's a good first try performing it. It's difficult to reach that high." I bent down, getting ready as I barked, "I'll try it again!" I tried again, I got more spin, but I slipped again, falling on my back, rolled, and stood up again, "One more time." I barked, running again. I heard, Dein, asking, "Valiant, Whatcha' doin'?" As I continued to practice the Battouga, this time, I landed on my feet when I slipped off. Tenken remarked, "Close." Then Kevin asked, "Whatcha' doin'?"
I turned to see, Kyoushiro, Kagetora, Guretora, Ken, Dein, Kevin, Rocket, Ace, and my great-grandfather, Weed, I turned to them and replied, "Ah, everyone… I'm learning Zetsu Tenrou Battouga from Tenken-san. The one that took down each major threat Gajou has faced." The younger out of our group were surprised, and Tenken turned to them and barked, "Yeah, it's not a technique that just anyone can learn." Tenken turned back to me, "The sharpness of the Leader's technique… even with great effort, one may not perfect it, just as I haven't." I slightly gasped, a bit surprised as he continued, "Mine is not the real Battouga." Kevin called my name, "Valiant.", I turned to him, "What you just did just now, is that the technique?" I nodded, yes, Kevin continued, "Isn't that the same technique that you did when we first met?" and then Kage added his question, "And the one you used on Argus?" I tried thinking back at those events, "But, I don't remember what I was doing… I've blacked out, both times.", I got a glimpse of them in my head, "I was desperately frantic the first time and completely lost my cool the second."
I heard Tenken barked, "I see." I turned up and saw him walking towards me, "You'll be able to do it." We all looked at him as he continued, "You have something I don't. You'll definitely master the Leader's technique." Kyoushiro barked, "Show me some techniques, too!" Both Kage and Gure came up as Gure barked, "Yeah, we should be training too, right?", I replied, "You're right. Tenken-San, will you show them how to use their fangs properly?" and turned to the OWCA agents, "If it's cool with you, those who wish can be trained some of your abilities.", Tenken replied, "Yes. No problem." As the OWCA agents nodded, I could have thought that I saw Kyoushiro smiling as well.
Narrator
And so, Tenken started training Valiant and his group, as well as the techniques the OWCA agents have. The basics of using fangs on objects were taught thoroughly. Some had even opted to be trained in the special techniques that OWCA agents were trained to be on equal footing against any SICO agents we will encounter. Some had difficulty with that type of training, and the younger ones were able to achieve the skills.
Danville, America, 6:10 am
Phineas's POV:
After Perry and I snuck back into the house, as we were walking down the hall, Perry looked at the bandages covering my new scar and chittered, "Okay, how are we supposed to hide that? Everyone is going to be asking questions.", I rubbed my chin and I struck upon an idea, replied, "I'll cover it up with the movie effects with makeup, me and Ferb were going to do next week to make it look like I was never slashed." We got to the door to my and Ferb's room, Perry chittered, "Okay, when it does heal…" looking at the bandages and back up at me, "Well, heal as much as scars could, how long would you be able to hide it?" Before I answered, my watch beeped and I chattered, "Oh, crying out loud! What is it this time?!" I quickly glanced at Perry and chittered, "Sorry, the whole night shift almost turned into a graveyard shift..." Then I remembered Racco, "...Oh, right... for Racco, it did." I looked down, we were supposed to watch him and he ended up dying on our watch. Now I feel awful, and there's nothing that can be done for him, he nodded as I got out my watch and answered, and a holographic screen with CSM Weaver appeared on it, I didn't expect this to happen, not wanting to have our cover blown I ran into the hall closet, closing the door, and look at the screen, as I put on my earpiece as did Perry. On the screen behind my superior, I can see by the background, he's on a balcony dining area of a hotel, in Japan, seeing, who I guess are agents training in the forest in the background, and seeing one blue Akita spinning on a branch like crazy, falling and doing it again, "Good evening, or rather good morning in your area, Agent P the 2nd and Agent P. You are to convince your family to choose Tokyo, Japan, as the vacation destination." Great working vacation trip, I was hoping for a few days to relax by doing our regular things. Hopefully, this won't spill into a whole thing to cause the deadline to be missed. If I could at least talk, then I would be able to have full right to personhood in the eyes of the law, like it is for Marty the Rabbit Boy. I listen as he goes on "The next day after arrival, rendezvous at the Akatsuka Botanical Garden with Agent S, as well as some of her dog relatives." I looked at Perry in a questioning manner, as I heard Weaver continue, "Now I trust you've read Agent S's dog family history on her bio, correct?" I shook my head, he sighed, and said, "Okay, when allowed, you are to study it as much as possible during the travel." He turned to gesture Max to move the camera towards the dogs training out in the woodlands, "This mission requires that context. You are to meet with them at the mentioned location so there won't be even a raised eyebrow. There is a threat rising in Japan that can affect the rest of the world. The garden is where Agent J will relay more info to you, and then you will team up and aid them on a mission as well as a rescue mission at the Tokyo Stadium where LOVEMUFFIN will host their Second Annual LOVEMUFFIN Pageant of Evil, where they will reattempt to elect a leader." The camera zoomed on the blue akita training some sort of spinning attack on a branch, "For reasons that the leader of this group, that Agent J is companying with, tell you thanks to an informant that is with them you mustn't allow Locugisu to win that position. Any other member is fine. It is Locogisu who shouldn't be allowed to win. That is all, Weaver out.", Then the screen dissipated.
Perry looked at the calendar and chittered, "I guess we got our mission. Considering Sheila's family history, it might evolve into a longer one." As cool as this might be it could cut into my attempts to become human again, "I hope by the end of it I might be able to become human, or at the very least a hybrid like Marty." Perry replied, "I understand." Now with fifty minutes left before Ferb wakes up, I head to my side of the bedroom and get the leftover movie supplies we were going to do the day after the Firewheels project to cover my bandage, "I should get the portable kit, just in case." I chittered as I put said supplies in my suitcase, which I set up before going to bed last night, before the mission at the Pizzeria, and then climbed into bed for a few minutes.
7:00 am
I barely got any rest, these nightshifts are getting to me, especially the previous mission. Now I have to try extra hard to keep my cover as a secret agent, I head to the bathroom, put antibiotics on my scar, put new bandages, and apply the makeup, making fake fur with the pattern to apply on my bandage. Afterward, we are in the living room with Mom, Dad, Candace, Ferb, Isabella, the fireside girls, Baljeet, Buford, Irving Jeremy, Johnson, not Agent J who is currently in Japan, having a meeting about where to go, dad came to me and said, "Okay, it is Phineas turn to decide where our vacation destinations will be." With no hesitance, I pointed at the globe and chittered, "Tokyo, Japan." Even Dad, though he could not understand, could still look where I pointed and say, "Oh, Tokyo, Japan. Great choice, Phineas.", he walked off saying, "Now off to get the tickets." Ferb came up to me and remarked, "Japan? So, I guess we're going to make a movie there? Judging I noticed that you packed some movie makeup supplies?" As to not lie, I will squeeze that in my busy schedule to not create suspicion and not scratch my ear, because I subconsciously do that when I do lie as I've been told. It's last-minute planning, but I will manage… I snapped my fingers and chittered, "Got it! We will a play based on the dogs of Ohu, the first story." Ferb didn't understand my chitters, but he gave me a thumbs up knowing it would be an idea of a play, and Candace came up and said, "Are two planning anything besides, trying to change Phineas back, right?" Isabella turned to her replying, "I think Phineas is planning on making a play in Japan.", Candace was about to say something, but paused and instead said, "You know what? I think I will have the hotel manager do the busting for me, like with Hawaii last year.", and walk off. Between now and when we arrive in Japan, I will be looking through Sheila's biography about her dog relatives.
2 hours later…
Danville, America, 9:00 am
Locogisu's Evil Industries!
Locogisu's POV:
After I managed to convince LOVEMUFFIN to host the Second Annual Pageant of Evil in Tokyo, Japan, I started packing for the trip and getting tickets, thanks to Coronel. However, today is also the LOVEMUFFIN Minon Exchange Program, I got Norm, and Doofensmirtz got Jekkin, however, we are too busy, packing to utilize a scheme using them. Except for me, as Norm said, "Now since you managed to convince LOVEMUFFIN to host the event in Tokyo, I don't think any members have time to use our assistance." As I got supplies together and instructed him to help me pack, he did so as he continued "Too bad you did not convince them to move the exchange or the event to a different time, so that way the members could do more than help pack." As we finished, I replied, "Actually, there is time for you to do one thing." He turned to me with that fixed smile, "And what may that be? Help you build foolish inators that ultimately fail, especially when pressed for time to squeeze in a scheme?", I smirked and replied, "Do you want to earn your father's love.", he immediately replied, "Yes, yes I do.", then handed and coordinates to Gajou, and instructions to help Alpheus take over Gajou and after Norm read it he says, "If you want I can carry you to Tokyo, drop you off and then help the evil dogs take over that pile of rocks.", I shocked and replied, "Actually, I need to pick up the nemesis of… a colleague from the Southern Alps on my way to Tokyo.", as Norm is upgrading his rocket boots to beat us there, he says, "I could drop you off at the car rental around there." I replied "It'll draw too much attention from OWCA and it could ruin it, so upgrade yourself with stealth abilities as well" Norm replied, "You just want an evil road trip, don't you?", I waved my hands, and replied, "Yeah, that. Sure, whatever. Just go.", Norm replied with "Okey, dorky." And then he flew off, breaking through my roof, quickly got ear protection on, before he triggered a sonic boom, I called "Okay, staff clean this up." I heard mumble from them as they cleaned up left by Norm, and I grabbed my suitcase and headed for the airport.
Otsuki, Japan, 6:00 am
Valiant's POV:
After training until morning, I was able to perform the Battouga on the branch, cleanly cutting through the wood, and watching it fall, with a satisfying thud. Tenken barked, "Woah. At last, you did it, Valiant.", but then it was short-lived as I stared at the stick, causing Kevin to be concerned as he asked, "What's wrong?" as I stared at the branch, I replied, "Can I really defeat opponents like this? Practicing on a piece of motionless bark?", Weed came up to me and answered, "I once asked Tesshin-San the same question.", I looked up from the branch as he and Tenken walked up to me, "No sweat. "You're learning the basics right now. You will improve while fighting.", I nodded with understanding.
Hours later…
Otsuki, Japan, 8:05 pm
We were relaxing from the training in the springs until Tenken and his team, and Jeremy came up to us, and we turned to them as I asked, "What is up, up?", and he replied looking at the room, replying, "Max, the intern has been monitoring the activities of SICO in this region, and discovered where the Otsuki Base is at, and CSM Weaver had call for a meeting.", Kyoushiro sighed, "I guess we should see what he has to say.", I nodded and getting out of the Spring followed by the rest and follow the Ninja Dogs to the room where there was a long table, Jeremy barked, "Been awhile since I have been in a meeting like this.", as he got into his secret agent stance and walked towards and sat in the nearest chair, "Just pick a chair.", I looked to the others and barked, "Let's see what Weaver has to say.", as I hopped to the seat right to Jeremy's, Kevin on mine, Dein, Guro, and Ace, then on Jeremy's left side, my great-grandfather, Ken, Kage, Kyoushiro, and Rocket sat on the left side, the other seats were filled with Tenken's team, while the other dogs stood around the table and some outside the room.
Weaver came into the room, with Max pushing in whatever humans call these devices that looked like a smaller version Jeremy used to first contact Weaver after defeating Kaiju, Weaver started, "Sorry, I'm sure some of you aren't used to humans calling you in like this or had been giving mission like…", showing a seemingly abandoned covered in vines, with windows half hanging or/and broken, "however, this situation, much like with the Werewolves incident, both of us has to work together once again.", my great-grandfather barked, "Well, OWCA and Ohu are both allies.", even though Weaver doesn't understand our barking, we can tell that Weaver understood what he meant to convey, as he replied, "Yeah, we are allies. So, where is where suspect where the children were taken to, before being turned into dogs and…" the image changed to one showing Shadow and his pack, "… were made to be part of this Spitzenhound's pack. After your first encounter with him, our bird agent's surveillance, he was shown heading into the building. The problem is the base. If it continues to function, the hunters will continue to target innocent dogs that had nothing to do with the incidents in this area. Agent J has been given its location and he'll lead you there to shut it down. We'll do what we can to get the hunters to stop the senseless hunting. Dismiss." Jeremy, Tenken-San, and his team saluted when they left their seats, I barked as I jumped off the seat, "Alright, we'll follow Jeremy and Tenken on this mission." and started to head to shut down the next SICO base.
America-Japan Airlines
Phineas's POV:
We are on the flight several hours away from Japan, sitting next to the window, my mom, dad, and Candace sitting in the rows behind me, another kid next to mine, with his family in the row behind us, and Ferb on the aisle seat. I was reading up on Sheila's dog-family history on her bio page. Basically, they are accounts relayed to her from each living former leader, an Akita named Gin, both his and his son, Weed's experience of each crisis they've faced, also research a website about the same events from the perspectives of human citizens to get more viewpoints on the bear. The story is about a fiscus giant bear named, Gin's journey against Akakabuto, the mayhem caused by Locogisu's first experiment, Kaibutsu, for humans, blamed Sheila's relatives, and then Weed's quest to rescue his father and Japan from Hougen… that is only on Sheila's bio. Interesting read, you could make a manga and anime series from this… or a play, well, the bear… which I have to do, since it was easier to use the makeup kit for that than trying to explain why I have a bandage, and scars on my leg, which would defeat the purpose of covering them. And then there is Sheila's and Echo's mission against Bloodpudding when he becomes a Werewolf and stops the plaque of lycanthropy, this is when OWCA and Ohu become allies from across the ocean. I don't know the full details of the current mission, CSM Weaver wanted to keep the current crisis under wrap, so whoever the main threat is does not catch on, Agent J will fill me in when we meet tomorrow.
I heard the voice of a kid my age, "Oh, are you two looking up the history about Akakabuto?", and turned in the aisle seat, I was too much in my research to recognize him as Sheila's owner at first Thomas. I saw his profile in Sheila's record, I nodded, Ferb who only knows about the events from a human's perspective these events, answered, "We were looking up the history of Akakabuto, and doing a play about it.", Thomas replied, "Oh, that's cool.", and then he said, "Sorry, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Thomas.", Ferb introduced us, "He's Phineas, and I am Ferb." Thomas replied, "Heard of you guys, I also heard about how Phineas got turned into a badger. I always wanted to join in on your things, but couldn't figure out how to ask.", Ferb turned to me and I nodded, and he almost gave Thomas a thumbs up, but realize what that means in Japan, so he formed an O with his arms, which is called a maru, Thomas replied, "Awesome, always want to hang out with you two." Even though I lost my human dialect and Ferb has to pick up the talking for me, it still feels weird that he has to talk more often… We need to make another animal translator. Unless there's a delay effect to make me able to talk.
SICO Hidden Location, Japan, 8:35 pm
Jeremy the German Shepherd's POV:
With the location given to us by Weaver, we found the seemingly abandoned building, We concealed ourselves behind the surrounding trees, looking for any other signs of activities, Kyoushiro beside the bush, quietly barked, "Okay, any suggestions of how to take down this facility?", I turned to him to reply, "We will find the hidden entrance, and then find the record room and the chamber their device that turn people into dogs.", Valiant behind the rock on the other side of the tree then asked, "What's Tenken doing?", I answered, turning to him, "He will lead the hunters to this place and they'll see that this place is behind everything here." I saw a mechanical looking slender dog standing outside, looking either direction, not noting that we are hiding, walked back into the build, I snuck to the next cover, then behind the wall, the others follow, I see a second mechanical dog a bulky one, with the first going to an old grandfather clock, stood up on hide legs, but not like agents, like regular dog on hind legs, supporting itself on the clock, using his muzzle to move the hands on the face a certain way, I watched, it seems it moved the hands to the current time for a few seconds, then move the hour hand fourteen hours back, moved minute hand to the hours spot and vice-versa, Kevin whispered, "Why is that thing playing with the clock.", as I watched the robot move the hour hand 5 hours ahead, then moving the minute hand counterclockwise moving it pass the hour hand before stopping across it, "I think it's a combination of how to access the hidden base.", then the hands started spinning fast, hands going different directions, before stopping as the clock slides to right, revealing a lift door is revealed, I turned to Gurotora, "Well, Guro, didn't you told Sheila you wanted to be a secret agent?", he looked to the side with embarrassment, "Sheila told agents of OWCA about how when we were pups followed her, didn't?", I snuck to the grandfather clock, "You stole away on her hovercraft.", he chuckled from the light teasing, then I follow the same combination the robot dog did, current time in JST then in EST, switching the hands positions, move the hour hand forward five, moving the minute counterclockwise, going over the hour once and stop when it is directly across from it, then the hidden entrance. It can only fit about ten of us. I then sent the combination to Tenken, so when he lure the hunters here and opens it, they will find this lair and see the truth. The others have to wait for us but remain hidden.
I turn around, looking at Kyoushiro, "Okay, now if needed we too, we do the undercover act, if any of us get caught." As we went down the lift, Hacker barked, "Okay, now I'll use my charm to pass the guards.", The doors opened seven hid behind the walls on the sides, while Kyoushiro, Hacker, and Kevin worked the undercover, the two guards dogs saw the two, Hacker put on his charm, "We would like to join up with SICO. I am Lurker." Hacker walked past the two and used the same cover name as he did when he thought that our current safehouse was a SICO base as he introduced himself, "Tasuke." Kevin thought for a moment, properly trying to come up with a cool name like Nitro, Dax, Dash, or Steel, then he barked "My name is Kevin.", he winced as he realized he slipped up in coming up with a cover name, but the SICO dog guards didn't catch the mistake, as the one on the right replied, "Is that so?" looking as if he's suspicious and excitedly barked, "Alright." Hacker walked behind them and asked for directions to the laboratory, as the two were falling for the ruse and giving the directions Dein, Gure, Weed, Valiant, Ace, and myself snuck as the guard dogs looking the other way as I used my gadgets to remotely hack the camera put it on loop for twenty seconds, enough time to sneak out of the lift and do the same with each camera when the area is clear.
As the three located the device, we snuck around the halls, seeing a mix of various SICO agents and some dogs on all four, without the agent training, and SICO human guards, patrolling the facility, hiding behind the walls, boxes and bulkheads, as well as the pipes. I saw the signs giving directions for the meeting room, credit union, to the up ahead, the cafeteria, restrooms and alternative way to the warehouse to the left, the breakroom, and record room to the right, I turned to the others and quietly barked, "It's this way, everyone.", as we walk pass the breakroom, hiding next to the doorway, out of site, we overheard two human SICO members discussing, "You think Shadow's activity and taking in our new dog members into is attracting too much attention?" the other replied, "Nah, of course not. If anything, it's redirecting attention away from us." sipping his tea, "Hmm, my favorite evil brand of tea… Mr. H's Evil Purple Tea. The blend of loose leaf with a dash of sencha and matcha green tea with a slight hint of the evilest flavor… curry makes this a great tea.", the first nodded, "Oh, yeah. That's my favorite, too.", then we all heard the main thing that completed Zen's ruse to hide Mr. H's true identity, "Mr. H's Evil Purple Tea!" The jingle caught them all by surprise, and Valiant came closer to me and asked, "Is that a normal occurrence in this line of work.", I nodded and answered, "Yes, yes it is, especially on regular standard missions.", as we snuck past the breakroom, Weed remarked, "This Zen character really did pull all he could to hide the identity of Mr. H or rather Hougen…" looking back at the direction of the breakroom, "He'll definitely never do anything like that.", Kevin added, "Most likely Hougen was all like…", even though Kevin, myself and younger ones weren't around put on his best impression on how he thinks he sounds, "'Okay, Zen. Make sure that if you fail, make sure that your operation does not lead OWCA back to me. So do everything you can make sure of that.'", Kyoushiro nudged him, remarking, "Despite not being born then, that was a great impression." Weed nodded in agreement as we continued to sneak to the record room.
Hacker's POV:
As another guard dog gave us a tour throughout the facility, thinking about it now, it would have been better to have everyone with us instead of splitting. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. The dog guard leads us to a warehouse, and in the center is a device, like the ones at the other facilities we've shut down. The guard dog introduced the device, "And here's the Zootransifier Cannon. We had plenty of these things, but some of them were destroyed along with the facility that was shut down.", Kyoushiro came up to it for a closer inspection, and barked, "So there many of these things shatter about Japan?" the guard dog answered, "As many as they are bases, Tasuke." Kyoushiro turned to him and asked, "What is the point of turning humans into animals? Especially into dogs?" The guard dog sat and answered, "Many of us suspect it is easier to control, some think it's based on misanthropy… whatever it is, is essential to the masterplan.", I asked turning from the device to the dog, "Masterplan?", he answers, "Typical world domination stuff.", Kevin looked around the room and asked, "Why are you giving us a tour?" the guard dog replied matter in fact "You're new recruits, Kevin. You need to learn the in-and-outs.", I replied "Right, of course.", we need to destroy this device and distract the guard dog by exclaiming at a random, "What's that over there?!", he turned and saw nothing but cockroaches on the pillar, the guard dog exclaimed, "Spy roaches!", running and started stomping on them as I awkwardly watch Kyoushiro ripped out some wiring, which could be ill advice and should have brought an experienced agent with us, luckily, it shut down quietly. The guard dog after… squashing the 'Spies'. He barked, "Lucker, great spotting.", I nodded, in feigned gratitude. Then I heard a robotic barking "Don't think you can pull a wool over our eyes." Another barked, "We saw what you did." We turned and saw the automaton brothers, the guard dog exclaimed, "Kinzoku and Hari."
Jeremy the German Shepherd's POV:
When we entered the storage room and saw the large monitor, I turned to the others and barked, "Can you keep a lookout?" They nodded as I took out an external hard drive and plugged it into the SICO monitor. Seeing it needed a SICO agent hat indemnification key, I heard Guretora bark, "I see two SICO agents patrolling coming this way.", I signaled them at the monitor, showing a bowler hat image with a scan code request, and they nodded.
SICO Agent's POV:
I am an iguana SICO agent, Iguanas are an invasive species in Japan, and I am with another iguana patrolling the halls. As we were going past the record room and almost to the breakroom, I turned to my partner and asked, "Hey, want to go on tea break?" He nodded and replied, "Yeah, I could get some of that Mr. H's Evil Purple Tea." Then we heard the jingle "Mr. H's Evil Purple Tea!", and then he was not there anymore, and something grabbed me from behind.
Jeremy the German Shepherd's POV:
Turns out measures Zens made to mislead OWCA on tracking Mr. H worked out in our favor, as the jingle Zen crafted allowed us to capture the two SICO Agents, Valiant and I tied them up, grabbed their hats, and used them to access the mainframe. Unfortunately, they only have local access, however, fortunately, it's enough to confirm the stray dogs were not behind things happening in Otsuki. That should be enough to redirect the authorities away from us and towards the true source.
After getting the evidence, I rigged the computer to break and it started smoking and sparking, and the screen glitched out. We snuck out of the record and started to head back where we first entered, sneaking past the guards, and concealing ourselves once we were back at the elevator. Valiant looked around and asked, "Where are Kevin, Hacker, and Kyoushiro? They should be here by now, Tenken should also be here, leading the authorities here." We need Strider to deliver the evidence to the local police department.
We heard from the intercom, a robotic barking, "Would the spies please report to the warehouse?" and another robotic barking, "We have also noticed we cannot access the local records, mind bringing the copy with you?" the first barked, "We have your friends.", we started hearing fighting, as the second barking still om intercom "Lurker, I thought you were with us.", looking torn what to do, he knows we need the leave with the evidence, but feel we should not leave others behind, Valiant barking, "They are in trouble! We cannot leave them behind!", I barked, "Valiant, wait!" but he didn't listen, and Tenken is bringing people to this base, heck will break loose if we don't This could mess everything up.
Hacker's POV:
After having to blow my cover after attacking the robotic bosses, one of them barked, "You clever little sneak, charming your way and disabling our Zootransifier Cannon.", Kyoushiro in his fight stance as well as the more slender automaton dog, "You, Kinzoku Shadow and your fellow faculty members are not going to get away with everything you did here.", the slightly larger robotic dog replied, "I'm pretty sure we will get away…" as the slender robot added, "Besides you just missed Shadow… he's heading to the Southern Alps to join with Alpheus. But you won't be leaving." Hari lunged at Kyoushiro, who dodged and tried biting him, but he hurt himself more than Hari, as I tried to fight the other, we didn't break our teeth, but we still hurt them, Hari lunged again and our respective opponents tackled us, Kevin tried to tackle Kinzoku off, but it was like hitting a wall for him, the robotic brothers started to do robotic laughter, "Organic dogs stand no chance against us.", and then we heard Valiant barking, "Hold it!", we turn and see him standing there, "Let them go!", the one on me got off, as I tried to bite again.
Valiant's POV:
I saw the robot dogs fighting Kyoushiro and Hacker, but I saw Kevin on the ground motionless, I barked, "Kevin!" The bulky robot barked, "He's knocked himself out trying to tackle me. That's what you get for tackling for tackling heavy machinery." Then they began laughing, I saw the slender one holding Kyoushiro down, and I barked, "I told you to let them go!" The bulky one replied, "Surrender the evidence.", I looked to Jeremy, and I nodded, and he sighed, shook his head, sled the hard drive back, and bulked the robot stomped on the hard drive, shattering it. I felt I made a huge mistake, but he was holding my friends over me. Kyoushiro growled, "Valiant, you realized what you did?!", the slender one barked, "You're still a kid…" getting off of Kyoushiro continuing "...disappointed you cannot handle a company if you lose sight of your goals so easily…" and then tackled Kyoushiro again, as well as the bulky one, as the slender barked "Let me show you the way to relinquish.", I barked, "Stop it!", then Tenken, coming out from the door another side along with his team, as they knock off the two robots off of Kyoushiro with his version of Battouga, Tenken barked staring at the bulky one "Kinzoku…" turning to the slender, "Hari!", and the rest came in, everyone's here.
I asked, "Tenken?", Tenken turned to me and barked, "I made a good enough distance from the hunters, that while still following, I was able to test that all clocks are the entrance, and the clock above the fireplace is one for an army size.", the robots were shocked, well as many robots could express it, Hari barked, "You lead the hunters here!", and Kinzoku barked, "By entering from that way, you would have fried our systems regardless.", the two laugh, "And with the hard drive busted, there's no way you can prove we are behind everyone here.", I screwed up everything up. My friends were held hostage, what else was I supposed to do?
Tenken turned to us to signal us to leave, but our outway was blocked by the robot brothers and other SICO dogs, Hari "I don't think so.", Then we heard SICO dogs and the hunters at the side we came from starting to fight. There is only one thing, if Tenken's version of the Battouga can knock them back, then the real one should stop them, I'm next to Tenken as I barked, "Tenken-San, I'll try it." I stared at the two robots as I growled, "The Battouga is the only thing I can use." I started, to run at them, staying conscience this time, breaking that part, and having control over myself, and jumping, As I spun, I sliced my teeth across Kinzoku's metal head, and jumping off, I fell sliding across the tile floor. Feeling exhausted, really tired, eyes heavy, I feel too worn out to get up, I can't resist closing my eyes as I heard, metal clattering as I heard Hari exclaiming, "Kinzoku." As I heard Jeremy, "Get him out of here and back to the safehouse.", I did it, I did the Zetsu Tenrou Battouga for real, without blacking out and having the internal instinct take over.
Woodlands somewhere in Japan, 9:30 pm
I barely opened my eyes as Gure was carrying me on his back, outside the facility, Kagetora barked, "He's conscience.", Tenken-San barked walking beside barking, "You showed it to me. The real Battouga, on your own, with intent.", I barely look up at him, eyes still heavy, asked, "So, I really…" Tenken-San replied nodding, "Yes, you did great with the Automaton Brothers." I nodded and barked, "I'm sorry…" Tenken asked, "About what?" I replied, "I caused us to fail at shutting down that SICO base.", I was mentally cursing myself, as I thought the base was still operating, Jeremy replied, "Don't worry, that was another empty hard drive… I thought of that scenario and tricked him, and gave it to Strider, and have him take it to Tamika. The dog hunter and SICO's activities around Otsuki will stop." A bit relieved that but still a bit concerned about others, "Then, everyone is safe?" Hacker answers, "Yeah, that's right." I replied, "I see… good…" before going to sleep.
Southern Alps, Japan, 6:30 am
Shadow's POV:
I can't believe they are making me wait outside when I could be discussing matters with Alpheus, his subordinate is blocking my way, and I growled at him, "What?! How long does he plan to make me wait?!" The subordinate replied, As I said, Alpheus-Sama is still sleeping." I snarled, "We all came all this way here! I'm not waiting, Nakao-Kun barked, "Shadow-Kun, please chill." I sighed, turned around walked down the steps, but then I about-faced, ran back up, opened the door, and walked into the hut, I barked, "Alpheus, wake up!" I heard the door slam behind me, I looked over my shoulder, as I heard a Great-Dane barking, "Entering at your own convenience? You got some guts, Shadow.", I turned a bit on edge, instinct telling me to prepare for something, as I barked, "So, you're Alpheus, huh?", he came at me as I quickly jumped away, I growled, "What the heck?!" Alpheus replied, "Testing you. You got some guts, despite your vase opening. You got some instinct, had you not paid attention, your openings would be exploited." Then we turned to the door and barked, "Follow." I did as he said when we were out, he announced to the pack, "I've kept you all waiting. Let me introduce you, Shadow. From today, he'll be number two in our group." We waited for the gasping and murmuring to stop, he continued, "As soon as those mad scientists take the hostage and on their way to Tokyo, we move to Ohu." Yeah, he doesn't expect a thing Being number two brought me closer to my goal.
Valiant's POV:
Today as CSM Weaver getting ready to check out from the hotel, hoped he did not cause too much issue for him that OWCA couldn't reserve this place again, and Strider came back after delivering the evidence to Tamika, who was assigned here for the same reason we came here, and after receiving news the hunting has stopped and finishing using the spring, we had gathered and saw our wounds did healed, especially Jeremy's. Great-grandfather came up and barked, "And you did get the bullet removed, right?" Jeremy turned to Weed, "It can be an issue at the worst moment." I turned to him and wondered why he asked it that way, Jeremy nodded and replied, "Yeah…", he turned to the side, "I can walk, and won't be an issue." Kevin asked, "When did you remove the bullet?", Jeremy turned to Kevin and answered, "CSM Weaver insisted on having the OWCA vet remove it." That is a relief.
Tenken's POV:
That much is true. Last night, he said that he intended to keep it, like his grandfather. However, CSM Weaver was indeed insistent on removing it, so instead of that, while he was healing up last night…
Flashback…
Jeremy barked, "After dealing with SICO, the Colonel, Alpheus, and whoever his cousin is, I will be resigning from OWCA.", he looked down and barked, "My poor insight of recognizing an obvious weak point on a foe who was once a friend, corrupted to the core by Locogisu, and lead me to think we had to resort to what I thought was an only option, causing me to make the same mistake with my squad as my grandfather, Jerome did. So, if I can't keep it in as he did, resigning is the next option for punishment."
End of flashback…
He intended to keep it in, but the desire to make amends for his mistakes has caused me to have more respect for him, I barked to myself, "Jeremy is a real dog.". Before we leave for Tokyo, Jeremy told Valiant they are going to meet up with three additional top OWCA agents to help us thwart SICO's plans. Then I came Valiant and barked, "Valiant, there's something I need to tell you." He turned to me and barked with curiousness, "What is it, Tenken-San?" I replied, "Weaver is not my superior. Mine is Captain Daisuke Fujiwara." Weed gasped, "What? When did he became an OWCA official?" I turned to him and answered, "Since after the Werewolf Incidents and learning of OWCA, he joined the OWCA Academy, he became friends with Weaver there, and become the superior of the Japanese division, and we had been investigating disappearance later linked to until now a unknown group, SICO.", I turned to him, I turned to Valiant "He, with the higher ups permission, privilege to go on self-assign missions, given the consent trouble Japan gets in, like my attempted rescue mission, and…" And my whole squad reveals themselves to them, "…me and my squad going with you." as they gasped, Dein remarked, "That's over one hundred of us now." Valiant stood there with amazement and gratitude barked, "Thank you, Tenken-San!" I barked "No need to thank me." After we left the Hotel, Valiant walked to the front, facing the direction of our next destination. He turned to look over his shoulder, "Everyone ready?" his closest friends stood in order, they answered, Ken and Dein nodded, barking, "Yes." Kyoushiro added, "I'm ready anytime!" Ace and Rocket nodded, Rocket, "Let's meet up with these top three OWCA agents." Kage and Gure nodded as Kage barked, "Let's beat them to Tokyo and rescue the leader before they even bring him to that stadium." Kevin nodded, Jeremy answered, "Yeah, Valiant. Give the order to depart. It's your duty!" Valiant nodded and ordered, "Everyone, let's go!" As we took one last look at the springs, we made our way to cut off Echo's and Hawk's capturers.
Narrator
