Huntik: Seekers and Mysteries

by PuzzleMaster1998

Gavin's life with his adoptive mother has been rather nice and ordinary for the most part. But after encountering some people in Germany and getting something special, his life changes forever. OC x Harem.

1. Chapter 1

Well, hello again everyone! This is PuzzleMaster1998 here with another new story!

It's time for Huntik!

I stumbled across this series a few years ago, and then forgot about it a year later. Then last year, I was reintroduced to the series by accident.

And I love it so much!

The Titans are fascinating, the spells are cool to see in action, and the worldbuilding is excellent! I wish it hadn't been cancelled.

Big thanks to General TigerDragon for help with this story!

This story will contain: Magic, music, a large harem, transformations, fights, mystery, songs, and many other things.

I apologize in advance if I make you uncomfortable, as I am putting weird body proportions in this story. I am aiming to have a large variety of body shapes and sizes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Huntik. That right goes to Iginio Straffi and Rainbow.

Now, let's begin our story!

A Flap of A Bat's Wing

---

It was a beautiful late afternoon in Füssen, Germany. Birds were singing on the rooftops, bees were buzzing amongst the various flowers around the town, and citizens and tourists were going about their business.

Walking down one of the many streets in the village was a 15-year-old, 5 foot 11 and a half inch tall boy with a somewhat muscular body, short light brownish blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin. A black shirt with a bright orange fox with blue eyes covered his chest, a pair of silver-gray shorts sat on his legs, a pair of white socks could be seen sticking out of his dark blue sneakers with white stripes, and a leather necklace sat around his neck, with a fox and cat made up of some sort of purple stone or gem as the centerpieces.

"Man, this place is beautiful," The boy said with a kind and friendly sounding voice as he rounded the corner of a block and headed down a somewhat smaller street. "I'm so glad that Mom brought me along with her this time," He continued as he passed by some shops. "But now what am I going to do? I saw Hohenschwangau Castle yesterday, and the Neuschwanstein Castle two days before that. And I went to the Freibad Obersee and the local library the day before Neuschwanstein."

He then hummed in thought. "What to do, what to do," he muttered as he walked past some locals coming out of a restaurant, before he passed by a few more shops.

As he did so, he spotted a sign from the corner of his eye, and turned to look at it. Said sign read, "Weber Antiquitäten und Schmuckgeschäft," (Weber Antiques and Jewelry Shop) and was in large black metal letters inside a large circular gray metal frame, with multipointed stars surrounding it. The store itself looked to be a bit small and was two stories tall. It was made of reddish brown bricks, and had large plate glass windows in the front that were reinforced with metal bars, with the name of the shop written on the glass in fancy lettering. Sitting right behind the window and bars were several pieces of jewelry, as well as a couple expensive and ancient-looking clocks and watches, while the front door sat to the right. Said door was somewhat narrow, and colored reddish brown like the surrounding brick, with its doorknob twisted and curved like the wing of a bat.

"Huh, that looks interesting," he said with a bit of an intrigued tone in his voice, deciding to head inside to look around. "Maybe I can find something to give to Mom," He continued as he headed over to the door and pulled it open, causing a small bell to gently ring inside.

As soon as he stepped inside, he saw that multiple antiques of all kinds, ranging from clocks to jewelry to furniture were in the store, with the jewelry and several clocks being held inside glass cases. One large glass case ran right in front of the rear of the store, with a large black door behind it, and a red swinging door between the end of the case and the right wall. A large gold and silver antique cash register sat on the glass, with a silver bell next to it.

"Ah, welcome to Weber's Antiques and Jewelry," A middle-aged 5-foot-tall German man with gray short hair that was a little wavy said with a somewhat thick accent from behind the counter as he sat on a cushioned wooden stool. He had a short salt-and-pepper beard that was neatly trimmed, and blue eyes that seemed to be looking deep into his own. A light blue button-up short sleeve sat on his chest, with a red tie around his neck, a black belt held up the dark blue pants on his legs, and black dress shoes sat on his feet. "Is there anything you are looking for in particular, or are you just looking around?" He asked the boy as he shut the door behind him.

"Mmm, for right now, I'm just looking around," The boy replied with a shrug, before he started to walk around the store.

"Very well," The man said with a nod. "Take as much time to look around as you want," he continued as he looked at the nearby monitors that were facing him, smiling when he did so.

"I will, sir," The boy replied as he glanced at the man, before he started to look at the various jewelry, ignoring the clothes since he knew his mother would not be interested at all in them. 'Okay, that is a beautiful butterfly necklace, but Mom would hardly ever wear it. That dragon one is really cool, but Mom doesn't wear dragon stuff. I would, but I don't think I'll buy something like that for me right now,' He thought as he looked at two necklaces for a few minutes, before he moved on to look at the earrings.

'Okay, these earrings are quite nice,' He thought as he looked at a pair that had blue swallows on them, their wings spread out in flight. 'But she's not really into birds. She's more into slugs, but I don't see any slug earrings here,' he continued as he looked throughout the case, before he moved onto the next one, and saw that it too had no slug earrings. 'Oh well, guess I'll see if maybe there's a good book I can get for her or me,' He thought with a shrug as he moved from the jewelry boxes that held earrings and moved on to the nearby bookshelves, ignoring the clocks, as he knew that his mother wouldn't like getting one as a gift, and he didn't need one.

As he did so, the German man hummed as he spotted something on one of the monitors, and started to tap his foot gently on the stool. 'Looks like I don't have much time left,' he thought as he looked at the monitors, while the boy ran his finger across the spines of the various books.

"Okay, don't know what that says, don't know what that says, she doesn't like that," he muttered as he went along each shelf. "No, no, no."

As he got to the last shelf, and started to look at the various books on it, he spotted a small pink book with faded gold gilding on it spine, and pulled it off the shelf, wanting to see what its title was. The book was about half an inch thick or so and had a faded gold heart on its pink cover, with the words "Das Buch der Libe" on it inside the heart in purple lettering that was quite faded.

"What are you about?" he questioned as he reached a hand towards the edge of the front cover, unaware that as he did so, a gentle pink aura ran from the book to all over his body, briefly covering him for about a second before disappearing.

Before he could open it though, he heard the worker speak up. "Young man, have you found something you are interested in?" The man asked him.

"Um, yeah, I did," The boy replied, turning and walking over to the man with the book in hand. "This book, what can you tell me about it?" he asked the man as he held out the pink book to him.

"Ah, 'Das Buch der Libe,' also known as 'The Book of Love,'" The man said with an intrigued look on his face as he took the book and looked at it. "It dates back to the very early 1500s, is one of a kind, and contains several talks on love and the interactions between men and women of that time," The man continued as he flipped the pages of the book. "The author of the book has never been properly identified, but I suspect that a priest or nun wrote it, based on the religious references in it."

"Oh that's interesting," Gavin said as the man closed the book and handed it back to him. "How'd you come across it?"

"My great-great-great-great-great grandfather found it in a chest of old books when he was traveling through a town at the western edge of Germany," The man replied, before he cocked his head, a glimmer in his eye. "Would you like to buy it?"

"How much you selling it for?" The boy asked him.

"Hmmm, well, based on the condition and age of the book, I'll sell it for 250 deutschemarks," the man replied. "And I won't take anything more or less for it," He continued with a very firm tone and look on his face as he looked at the boy's shocked face.

"But I-you-it-ugh! Fine!" The boy said with a huff as he pulled out his wallet and started to count out the proper number of deutschemarks. "It should be worth way more than that since it's so old" He grumbled, feeling like he should be paying more.

"Perhaps so, but I sell plenty of antiques to make up for the potential loss with this book," The man replied. "Now then, would you like it wrapped or in a bag?" he asked the boy, glancing at the monitors as he spoke.

"Um, just a bag's fine," the boy said as he finished counting out his money and held it out to the man, who happily took it in his worn, wrinkled left hand.

"Great, and your name?" The man asked as he took the book and bent down underneath the counter with it, the sound of him rummaging through things reaching his ears.

"Um, Gavin Woodring Senju," The boy answered with a bit of a confused look on his face, causing a surprised look to appear on the man's face as he looked for a bag underneath the counter.

'"Senju?!" He's a "Senju?!"' The man thought with surprise, before his eyes widened as he remembered something. 'Of course! He must be her son! Oh, this is perfect!' He continued with a grin growing on his face. 'I can get it to her through him!'

"Alright then, thank you for telling me that," The man replied as he moved around under the counter for about a minute longer, before he rose back up, the book now in a small brown paper bag, with a pen and tag in his hand. "Let me just put this tag on your bag, and then you can go," he continued, before he quickly wrote on the tag and attached it to the handle of the bag.

"Here you go Gavin," the man said with a smile as he held the bag out to the boy, who took it and smiled back. "Thank you for your service," He continued as Gavin turned and started to walk towards the front door.

"You're welcome sir," Gavin replied, soon reaching the door and grabbing the handle. As he started to push open the door, he heard the man say, "Gavin, let me remind you about something," prompting him to hum with interest and turn to look back at the man.

The man smiled widely at him, and said, "Everything in that bag is yours," before he got off the stool and walked over to the back door of the store, which he then pulled open and stepped through.

Gavin furrowed his brow with confusion as he stared at the back door. "Why'd he say that?" he questioned as he stared at the door for about thirty more seconds, before he turned and slowly walked out, confusion all over his face.

Once outside the store, he turned and started to walk away, confusion on his face as he thought about why the man had said those words.

---

As he walked away down the street, a muscular young man wearing a black suit coat, black tie, white button up long sleeve, brass buckled brown belt, black pants, and back dress shoes appeared from around the corner of the shop. His hair was reddish orange and hung down to his shoulders, his skin was lightly tanned, and his eyes were covered by a pair of black shades, with a black headset resting around his ear and running down to his chin, ending in a black microphone.

"Ah, now that there are no potential witnesses, let us give Mr. Weber a much-needed visit," A 29-year-old man said with a slight British accent as he walked forward after the young man, tugging on his black gloves as he did so. The man stood 5 foot 9 inches tall, and had a somewhat muscular build, with fair skin and dark brown hair that was tied in a ponytail at the back of his neck, with two long bangs forming an "M" shape around his face, ending right above his broad chin. A dark red button-up short sleeve shirt sat underneath an open dark green suit jacket on his torso, with a tan belt holding up the black pants on his legs. His brown eyes smiled cruelly behind his yellow-lensed glasses as he looked at the antique shop door.

"Sir, what is our course of action?" A firm, military-sounding voice said from behind the glasses-wearing man as he took hold of the doorknob. The owner of said voice was a 6 foot 3 inch tall muscular man who had short blonde hair that was smoothed back, lightly tanned skin, and turquoise eyes. He was wearing a brownish green military long-sleeve jacket over a thick-collared dark green long sleeve shirt on his chest, with the jacket reaching down to right above his midthighs. A bright brown leather belt ran through the jacket, helping hold the buttoned jacket in place, with white gloves on his hands and a leather necklace running down to underneath her jacket. His pants matched his jacket in color and were simple in design, and his shoes were light brown combat boots with cream-colored soles.

"Make sure no one goes in or out of the shop while I'm inside, Grier," The man said to the blonde man firmly. "We cannot let this Titan slip from the hands of the Organization and into the hands of the Huntik Foundation!"

"No sir, we cannot," Grier replied with a shake of his head, a firm look on his face. "I will make sure your orders are followed out perfectly sir," He continued as two more people in suits walked up, both of them men.

"Excellent Grier! Now let's visit with Mr. Weber, and take what rightfully belongs to us!" The man replied with an evil glint in his eyes, before he pulled open the door and walked inside, with the three men in black suits following him inside.

As the door shut behind the men, the man with the yellow glasses smiled as he looked around the shop, before spotting the middle-aged German man that he knew from the dossier he had been given a week ago was the owner of the shop. "Hello there good sir," The man said as he walked towards the counter, behind which sat the German man. "We've come to get something of yours."

"It's not yours to have, Mr. DeFoe," The man replied firmly as he looked at them, his right hand down by his side underneath the counter.

"Oh, I beg to differ," DeFoe said with a smirk as the other men stood behind him when he came to a stop at the counter. "The Organization needs Titans to help control the world, and from what little information we've been able to gather, the Titan kept here is a perfect addition," he continued. "So kindly hand it over, and we won't have to get messy."

"I will not give it to you," The man replied with a frown, his hand trembling as he stared at DeFoe angrily. "The Titan will never belong to the Organization!" He continued as he started to pull his hand up, causing DeFoe's men to react instantly.

"Augerfrost!/Raypulse!" The men shouted as they held their hands out at the man, with orange bolts of electricity shooting off two of the men's hands at Mr. Weber, while the third man's hand had a blue orb of blue icy energy shoot from it at the German man. The three attacks hit the man and slammed him into the back of the shop very hard with a loud "Boom!" and "Smash!", causing the pistol in his hand to drop to the floor, while the man himself fell down unconscious onto the floor.

"Hmph! How foolish of him!" DeFoe said with a smirk as he looked over at the unconscious man, before turning to his men. "You should have just knocked out his weapon! I needed to interrogate him!" he yelled at them angrily. "Now we have to tear apart the entire store!" He continued as he gestured to the store angrily.

"Sorry sir," One of the men apologized. "We were just-"

"Shut up and get to work!" DeFoe growled at the man, silencing him. "We need that Titan!" He continued as the three men spread out and started to search the store, tossing books and valuable clocks to the side.

As the men searched the store, DeFoe grumbled with frustration at the slight set-back. 'That man isn't getting up anytime soon,' He thought as he looked at Mr. Weber on the floor, before he hopped over the counter and landed on the man's back a bit hard, causing him to groan slightly in his unconscious state. 'Now let's see what else he was hiding back here besides that gun,' he continued as he knelt down.

Below the counter, his eyes were greeted with a few piles of bags, tags, and wrapping paper, as well as a couple boxes. DeFoe humphed as he grabbed the piles of bags and paper and tossed them to the side, before he grinned upon spotting a small metal box sitting at the far back of the shelf. It was black in color, heart-shaped, and had a large silver lock on it.

"This must be it," He said excitedly as he grabbed the box and pulled it out, before he stood up and set it on the counter, while his men continued to tear apart the store. "The Titan we have been searching for is within our grasp!" he continued with an evil chuckle as he pulled out a small silver vial and opened it, before tilting the box up so its lock was facing upwards at an angle.

"This should make short work of this simple lock," He said as he tipped the vial over the lock a little, causing a small amount of a clear liquid to drip down onto the silver and immediately start to bubble and hiss, with steam forming as a result. "He really was foolish for keeping the Titan in such an easy place to find," He continued as the acid ate through the silver in about thirty seconds, melting it down into a small puddle on the glass countertop. "Now it's ours!"

He then opened the box, and his eyes widened, jaw dropping a bit as he stared at the interior of the box. Said interior had purple foam inside, with the shape of a necklace with an amulet in the middle cut out of it. But there was nothing else inside.

"The Titan isn't here!" DeFoe said with alarm, anger forming on his face. "But why not?! He hadn't had a chance to pass it off to a Foundation member!" He continued, before his eyes narrowed a bit as he remembered something. "Of course! That boy! He must have given it to that boy to pass it off to the Foundation!" He said with realization, before he turned and headed towards the front door.

"Grier! Where did that boy go?!" DeFoe asked loudly when he exited the store, catching Grier's attention. "I want him at once!"

"Sir, the boy headed down this street," Grier replied immediately, gesturing to said street.

"Send some agents after him and bring him to me!" DeFoe demanded. "He has something that belongs to me!"

Meanwhile…

"What did he mean by 'everything' in this bag?" Gavin questioned as he came to a stop in an alley a couple blocks from the shop. "I only got the book," He continued, pulling out the book from the bag as he spoke.

When he did so, he arched an eyebrow as he held it in his hand. "Hey, why's it feel thicker than before?" He asked as he held up the book, seeing that it was bulging quite a bit in the middle. "What'd he put in here?" He continued, pulling open the book and leafing through the pages to see what was inside it.

A few seconds passed, before he reached where the source of the bulge was. And his eyes widened at what he saw.

There, sitting in the book, was a beautiful amulet. It consisted of a large pink gem cut in the shape of a heart surrounded by a thin line of white metal, with black metal in the shape of outspread batwings on either side of it. A small white ring connected the amulet to a beautiful black metal chain necklace.

"Woah!" Gavin said with awe as he stared at the amulet. "This is beautiful!" He continued as he reached out and took hold of the necklace.

As he held it up, a pale pink aura appeared from the amulet and wrapped around his body, staying visible for about two seconds before it disappeared. "It must be worth a lot!" He said as he looked the necklace over. "Why'd he stick it in my book?" He questioned with great confusion. "And why didn't he charge me for it?" He continued, closing his book and putting it back in his bag, while he kept the amulet in his hand.

"Hey! You!"

"Huh?" Gavin said with confusion as he looked back down the alley, where he'd heard a gruff male voice. There, he saw two men in suits running towards him.

"Stay where you are!" One man with short black hair and dark brown skin shouted as he ran towards him. "In the name of the Organization!"

"You're coming with us!" The other man, a Caucasian with bright orange hair, added.

"Uhhh, nope!" Gavin replied, before he turned and started to run away from them. "Not happening!" He continued as he ran while thinking, 'I have no idea what the fuck the "Organization" is, but they don't exactly have the warmest looks on their faces right now.'

"Dammit!" The black man cursed, before he put a hand to his earpiece. "Commander Grier, we've found the boy and the amulet, but he's decided to be difficult. Permission to use our power and Titans?" He asked as they ran after the boy.

'Dear fucking Kami! What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?!' Gavin questioned as he ran, not daring to look back as he rounded the corner and went down another street. 'I can't let them get me!' He continued as he pushed past a couple, who let out exclamations of frustration and anger as he did so.

"Permission granted," Grier replied fifteen seconds later as the men reached the corner of the alley, causing them to grin evilly.

"Excellent," The ginger said with a grin, before he then said, "Shadowspeed!" as he ran down the street, causing his entire body to become covered in a red aura, with more of it around his legs. He then started to move at a speed that was not human, and sped towards Gavin, soon reaching him and coming to a stop several feet in front of him, with the aura disappearing.

"What the fuck?!" Gavin exclaimed as he saw the man come to a stop in front of him, prompting him to stop running and stare at him with shock and confusion. "How the fuck did you get there so fast?!" He asked as the black man ran over, reaching them a few seconds later.

"That's none of your concern! Now then, you're coming with us!" The black man said as he pulled out an amulet from inside his coat, catching Gavin's attention. The amulet was small enough to fit comfortably in his palm, and was shaped like a hexagon that was stretched vertically a bit. It was made of a brasslike metal on the lower half, with a darker red metal sitting on top of it in a design made of outward extending spikes that seemed to form a pointy-eyed face with a fanged upper jaw. Four sharp dark red metal spikes stuck out of the bottom like claws or fangs, and a large reddish orange round jewel sat in the center of it. "Redcap, cut them down!" He exclaimed, causing it to gain an orangish aura, before a glowing orange symbol appeared in front of it, expanding in size for a couple seconds.

Said symbol was that of four sharp clawlike marks going downwards in an inward arc, with a diamond between the two sets of markings with a long narrow tail at the bottom. The symbol then turned into reddish orange energy, with more energy shooting from the amulet and before him onto the ground. The energy quickly took shape and then the glowing stopped, revealing a creature in its place.

The creature stood 5 foot 11 inches tall with a somewhat hunched posture, with its visible skin being a pale gray color. Somewhat long hairs were sparsely scattered across its skinny muscular long limbs, and its spine protruded visibly. Large brown pointy-toed boots sat on its feet, looking a bit too big for the creature and like they were made of wrapped cloth. Covering its round chest, back, and spine was an old brown sleeveless tunic with a thin gold collar around the base of its thick neck and a thick gold belt around its skinny waist. The tunic ended right at the belt, and an ancient brown loincloth hung down from it to just past its knees, with the loincloth having multiple holes in it towards the bottom. On its hands were brown and golden striped fingerless gloves that reached halfway down its forearms, with five extremely sharp thin golden claws sticking out of them. Its head was humanoid in shape, with long messy white hair reaching down to its bony chin, pale yellow sharp teeth like a crocodile sitting in its lipless mouth, and a brownish metal visor sat on its head where its red eyes were.

It let out a spine-chilling shriek as it spread its arms out, before it held them out towards Gavin, who took a step back in alarm.

"What the fuck is that?!" He exclaimed with alarm and some fear as the creature's pale purple tongue lolled out of its mouth, drool dripping down onto the ground while it flexed its claws.

"Just some insurance that you'll come with us," The ginger man said from behind Gavin as the three got closer to him. "Now stay still, and it'll all be over soon," He continued with an evil grin.

'Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!' Gavin cursed as he looked at his surroundings. 'How do I get out of this?! I don't want that thing to touch me! It looks like it wants to rip me apart!' He continued as he glanced at the unknown creature, which the black man had apparently summoned. 'I gotta get away from them! But how?!'

"Redcap, now!" The black man said a few seconds later as he and the ginger leaped at Gavin, with the creature letting out a shriek as it swung its clawed hands at Gavin.

"HOLY SHIT!" Gavin exclaimed, before he attempted to leap over the black man and the creature in a desperate attempt to escape.

As he did so, the pink aura he'd failed to notice from before appeared again around him and around the bat-winged amulet, and he found himself jumping way higher than he'd expected, yelling out, "Woooaah!" as he cleared their heads and landed on the other side of them a bit shakily. "What the fuck was that?!" He questioned as he looked at himself, the pink aura having disappeared again. "How'd I do that?" He continued as the creature and men collided with each other rather noisily, the creature letting out an angered shriek at having missed its prey.

"Fuck! I'll worry about it later!" He said as he looked at the pile of men and the standing creature, before he turned and started to run away once again, amulet still in his hand.

"Redcap, get him!" The black man ordered the creature as he started to get back up, rubbing his head as he did so, as he'd hit it against the ginger's head.

Redcap shrieked in response, before it ran after the boy at a very quick pace. It then let out another shriek as it swung its hand at Gavin, who found himself moving a bit quicker all of a sudden, unaware that his legs were covered in a pink aura, with the amulet covered in the same aura as well. That caused Redcap to miss him, and its claws sliced through the nearby lightpole like it was butter, causing the pole to fall onto the ground with a "Crash!"

"Holy shit!" Gavin cursed as he looked back and saw the damage the creature had caused as he ran down the street and around the corner, the creature still running after him. "That could have killed me!" he continued as he ran, before he spotted two more people in the same attire as the two men in front of him on the now narrower street. "Oh come on! There's more of them?!"

"You're not getting away from us!" One of them, a young man with long blonde hair, said cockily as he held up a hand. "Augerfrost!" He said, causing a blue ball of energy to appear in his hand, before it shot at him.

"Raypulse!" the other suit-wearing bald man said, causing an orange bolt of electricity to shoot from his hand directly at him as well.

"Holy crap!" Gavin shouted with shock upon seeing the attacks, before he jumped to the side to dodge them, landing on the side of a nearby building, much to his shock. 'How the-what the FUCK?!' He thought with confusion and shock as he stood on the wall, before he jumped to dodge more electricity from the men, going higher up as he did so. 'How am I doing any of this?!' He questioned as he jumped again, unaware that the amulet in his hand was surrounded in a pink aura, and so were his feet and legs.

He soon reached the roof of a building, and started to run across it, not daring to stop. As he did so, he looked back, and his eyes widened upon seeing the two men from before land on the roof as well, their legs glowing with a blue aura.

"Oh come on!" He groaned. "Could this get any worse?!"

"Mindrone, wreck his mind!" The bald man said as he held up a small amulet in the rough shape of a cockroach. It was a reddish bronze color and had the appearance of an insectoid pair of open mandibles on it, with a pair of curved dark red antennae near the top and a large reddish orange round jewel in the center. The amulet was surrounded in a reddish orange energy like the last one he'd seen being used, and then the symbol of a large eye with a large pupil and a triangular chunk taken out of the top appeared, growing bigger before it turned into more energy.

The energy from the amulet formed into a human-sized shape and soon dissipated, revealing an insectoid creature in its place. It stood 6 feet 10 inches tall, and was quite skinny. Its legs looked like they could have been broken with one kick, as they were very skinny, and pale green in color, with white diamond shaped protrusions on its knees and three dark greenish brown toes on its y-shaped feet. Its pelvis was dark greenish brown, and its lime green belly was skinny and tubular in shape, with several segments making it up. A large pale green singular piece of exoskeleton made up its chest, with an inward curve where its belly connected to it. Two sets of long oval white shoulderpads with greenish brown edges sat at the ends of its arms, with the upper part of its forearms being quite short, skinny, and pale green in color. The lower part of its forearms were very thick, pale green with dark greenish brown rings at the elbows, and had several short and sharp spines on the outer edges. Its hands were multijointed and made up of dark greenish brown exoskeleton. Two dark green wiry appendages ending in points stuck out of the rear of its shoulders and curved forwards on either side of its head with white rings on them at even intervals.

Its head was oblong in shape and sat on a thick pale green neck, with two long white spines sticking up backwards at the very front of it. A large eye that was black with a red iris covered the front of the head, with its forehead making a downward point towards it. Two small black antennae sat on either side of the spikes, curving upwards and outwards.

"…Fuck!" Gavin cursed as he saw the creature, apparently called "Mindrone," look at him intently. The iris on its eye then began to glow brightly, before a red laser bolt shot out of it towards him, along with another "Augerfrost" from the other agent. "Dammit!" He continued as he leaped across a narrow alley and ducked behind the corner of the third story of a building, which was hit with the two attacks and exploded into many pieces. "If I get hit with that, I'm toast!"

"I gotta get away from them so I can contact my mother," He muttered as he ran, before he spotted another suited man land on the roof nearby with glowing legs, with the first creature from before appearing alongside him. 'How many of these guys are there?' he questioned as he ducked to avoid a swipe from the creature, who shrieked with anger, before he did a front flip and landed on the man's head. 'And how the fuck am I doing all these acrobatics?! I've never done this before!' he continued as he kicked off the man's head hard enough to knock him into the tiles of the roof and through them up to his shoulders. 'Hell, I've never even pulled off a front flip in my past life!'

"Redcap! Cut him down!" A female voice said from nearby, making his eyes widen as he landed on the roof of a four-story building and looked down.

There, he saw that there were about fifteen of the people in suits, with several of those "Redcap" creatures and a couple "Mindrone" creatures alongside them.

"Dear Kami I'm in trouble," He said as he looked around at all the people, before he heard an assertive male voice speak up.

"Well now, you've given us a bit of trouble, boy," The voice said from below him, prompting him to look down to see the speaker. There, he saw a man with yellow-lensed glasses standing on the roof, with a man in military clothes and with blonde hair on his head standing next to him. "But that's far enough. Be a good boy, and come down to us. You've got something that belongs to us," The man continued as he stood there.

"It doesn't belong to you! The man at the store said that whatever was in my bag was mine, and this was in the bag, so it's mine now!" Gavin replied firmly as he held out the amulet, before he put it on around his neck.

The man sighed at that response, before he closed his eyes. "You're a stubborn child. You should know to listen to your elders!" he snapped at him angrily. "Men! Get him!" He ordered as he pointed a finger at him.

"Yes sir!" Several of the people replied, before they all started to run towards him, with some ordering the creatures to go after him as well.

"Oh crap!" Gavin exclaimed, before he turned and started to run down the rather long roof of the building as fast as he could. "Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap!" He continued as a Mindrone levitated onto the roof and fired an optic blast at him, with him barely dodging it by ducking his head. "Gotta get away!" he muttered as he looked ahead, before his eyes widened upon seeing that there was a significant drop in front of him, with the next building being about two blocks away and two stories lower.

"Augerfrost!"

"Raypulse!"

Gavin barely managed to dodge all the attacks that were being fired at him, running behind the chimneys of the building to do so. He also flipped over one man who managed to speed in front of him using whatever powers they were using to attack him, kicking off his head and knocking him directly into a chimney with great force, which caused it to crack in several places.

"Almost there! Almost…there!" He said as he ran as fast as he could, unaware that several people and creatures were directly behind him.

"Gotcha!" A male agent said as a Redcap swung its claws at him as it dashed at him from the side.

Right as the claws were about to hit him, Gavin pushed off of the edge of the roof as hard as he could and leaped into the air. He went up, and up, and up into the air, with his body outlined in the pink aura surrounding the amulet on his neck.

"Woaaah!" Gavin yelled as he went up a bit higher, before he started to slow fall down, causing him to gain a confused look on his face. "What?" he questioned as he fell down slowly, like the air was made of water, or like he had invisible wings on his back. "How is this happening?"

"Sir, I believe the Titan's bonded with the boy," One of the men said in his headset.

"That is of no concern! The bond is new and weak, so it can easily be broken. Get the boy, and bring him to me!" Defoe growled in his ear, prompting him to nod as he watched the boy slowly fall onto the roof of the building three blocks away.

"Dear Kami, how the fuck did I do that?!" Gavin questioned as he looked at himself, the pink aura gone from his body once more. "Seriously, I can't believe I did that! What is happening to me?!" He continued, before an explosion occurred directly behind him, knocking him forward.

"Owww!" he groaned as he hit the tile roof of the building, pain running through his arms and legs. 'Dammit! I need to stop trying to figure out how I can do these odd things and get away from these guys,' He thought as he quickly got up and resumed running away as a Mindrone landed on the roof a foot behind him.

As he ran, another man in a suit appeared in front of him with the blue aura on his legs, prompting him to jump forward and kick the man in the chest, the pink aura back around his legs. The force of his kick sent the man flying forward through a brick chimney and into a Redcap another man had just summoned, causing the creature to let out a pained shriek as the two toppled off the roof. 'Holy fuck!' Gavin thought as he landed on his feet and then jumped down into the street below, his descent slowing down again for some unknown reason. 'I can't believe my kick did that to him! I hope he's not dead!' He continued as he knocked aside several people and ducked into an alley that was covered up by the roof eaves of the nearby buildings. 'Now where the fuck is the hotel?!' He thought as he ran down the alley and turned onto another street, before he ducked into another alley that was covered by more roof eaves.

'Oh, please tell me I lost them!' He thought as he continued to run through the alley, soon reaching another street and running across it into another alleyway that had several large dumpsters in it. 'Cause I need to take a breather,' he continued as he started to slow down to a walk, before he came to a stop and ducked down behind a dumpster that was sitting next to a concrete wall with its lid open, creating a hiding spot.

'Okay, what the fuck is going on right now?!' He thought as he stood in the shadow of the dumpster, breathing slowly and deeply. 'Why are they after the amulet?' He questioned as he looked down at it questioningly. 'Is it magical? Is it powerful?...Or does it have a creature inside of it like the ones they were using?' He thought with widening eyes as he stared at the amulet.

"Could that be it? Does it have something inside it?" he asked as he held up the amulet and stared at it some more, before he heard the sound of footsteps right above him, and froze, covering his mouth as he stood there in the shadows.

"Sir, no sign of the boy," A male voice said above him, with goosebumps appearing on his flesh as he started to sweat nervously.

"Find him at once!" DeFoe roared loudly with rage, with him being loud enough that Gavin could hear him. "The longer he has the Titan, the stronger the bond he forms with it, and the harder it will be for us to use!" He continued. "So find him at once!"

"Yes sir!" The male voice replied, before he heard a sigh. "Fucking DeFoe needs to take a chill pill," The male said, before he heard the sound of footsteps heading away.

'A Titan?' Gavin thought with curiosity as he stood there, lowering his hand from his mouth only once he was certain the man was gone. 'That's what's inside the amulet, and what those creatures are? Titans?' he questioned. 'What are they? Why are they in amulets? How come I've never heard of them before?' he continued, before he closed his eyes and focused on the amulet. 'Hello? Is anyone there?' He mentally said, curious to know if the Titan inside the amulet could hear him.

"I…I…I a-a-am," A female voice replied in his head, sounding rather choppy, as if it he was talking to someone on the phone and they had a bad connection. "…about time…talked…me."

"Holy shit!" Gavin exclaimed with shock, before he clapped a hand to his mouth with wide eyes. 'Shit!' He thought, before he slowly peaked out to see if anyone had heard it.

And when he did, he came face to eye with a Mindrone, who stared at him intently. "Fuuuck!" he exclaimed, before he punched the Titan in the eye as hard as he could and started to run away, with the Mindron letting out a screech of pain as it clutched its face/eye. 'You gotta help me Titan!' He thought as he glanced at the amulet around his neck, holding a hand to it as he ran out of the alley. 'Please!'

"…summon me…name..," The voice replied, sounding just a little bit clearer as he ran, flipping over a Redcap that had appeared upon hearing the pained screech of the Mindrone. "Need it…long time."

"Well, what is your name?" He asked the Titan as he kicked off the back of the Redcap, knocking it into a woman in a suit as she tried to grab him by the ankle, the pink aura back around his body. He flipped onto the nearby roof of the building and smiled happily upon seeing the five-story yellow building that was Hotel Schlosskrone right in front of him. "Oh thank Kami! I'm here!" He continued as he ran across the roof, before he felt a tile slide out from underneath his foot right as he started to jump, causing his eyes to widen greatly. "Oh fuck!" He cursed as he flew across the road and into the parking lot at a downward angle, hitting the ground a bit hard and then landing in a large bush on his back.

"Owwwwww!" He groaned as he laid in the bush, pain wracking several parts of his body, before he attempted to sit up. He groaned even more as he did so, but after several seconds, managed to get himself into a sitting position.

"Hmph! I must applaud you boy, for the challenge you've given my men," DeFoe said as he walked into the parking lot, causing his eyes to widen with alarm and turn his head to look at the man, who was about twenty feet away from him. "But now, it's time for you to come with us," he continued as he looked at him with a bit of an evil grin, the blonde-haired man walking behind him like an enforcer or bodyguard, while the fifteen people in suits walked behind them, four Redcaps and three Mindrones alongside them.

Before Gavin could respond at all to DeFoe, a car door flew between them and slammed into a lightpole with great force, bending the pole quite a bit and shattering the glass in the car door.

"Step away from my son, DeFoe!" A familiar mature female voice said in an angry tone, causing Gavin's face to light up, a smile appearing on his face as he turned to his left.

"Mom!" Gavin said with relief and happiness as he looked at the 5 foot 4 inch tall, 36-year-old woman standing right in front of a silver sportscar that was missing its driverside door. The woman had fair skin, brown eyes, and straight blonde hair that had shoulder-length bangs that framed her beautiful face, with the rest of it reaching her lower back when released from her two loose pigtails. Soft pink lipstick adorned her luscious lips, and red nail polish covered her fingernails and toenails, which were visible thanks to the open-toed, black strapped sandals with high heels on her feet. A grass-green haori sat on her torso, with the kanji for "gamble" on the back of it, inside a red circle. Her grey, kimono-style blouse was visible, with it held closed by a bluish-grey obi and showing off some of her extremely sizeable cleavage due to it being closed quite low. Her pants were bluish-grey as well, and hugged her very big ass a bit, being rather baggy in the crotch and on the legs.

"Tsunade!" DeFoe said with surprise, eyes wide as he stared at the woman, with some of his men stepping back with worried looks on their faces, like he had subconsciously. "Of course this foolish boy would be your son! I didn't think we'd run into an operative of the Huntik Foundation here," he continued with a frown forming on his face.

"And I didn't think I'd run into you here either, DeFoe!" Tsunade spat back angrily, clenching her fist as she looked at him. "Now leave my sight and leave my son alone!" She growled, walking over so that she was in between DeFoe and Gavin.

"I-I'm afraid that won't be happening, Tsunade," DeFoe replied with a shake of his head, a grin on his face. "He will be coming with us to Organization headquarters. And you will remain here," He continued. "Men, get the boy!" He ordered, with his men gaining uncertain looks on their faces before they ran at Tsunade.

"I warned you," Tsunade said as a small smirk appeared on her face, before she pulled out a small amulet from between her breasts and held it out. The amulet was silver in color, and was shaped like a partial crescent at the top, with a small triangular point at the middle giving it the appearance of a bird. Dark gray metal squares in the shape of curved triangles sat in the silver on either side of a large emerald green round jewel in the center of it. A long dark gray piece of metal wrapped around the jewel and stuck out like two tails, with the pieces intersecting once at a triangular angle before tapering off to fine points. Very light bluish green metal lined the front edges of the crescent metal on either side of the triangular point, and a triangular piece of matching metal stuck out underneath the "tails" for about an inch. "Feyone! It's time to fight!" She exclaimed, causing the amulet to gain a bright green aura, before a green symbol appeared before her. Said symbol was in the shape of a fan, with six spokes sticking out from the center, while two sets of lines made up the curved edges.

The symbol soon changed into bright green energy, and started to form a humanoid shape, with more energy shooting from the amulet to help form the shape in seconds. The energy then disappeared, revealing the Titan that had resided in the amulet. The Titan stood 6 feet 9 inches tall, and looked like a fair-skinned Irish woman with long blonde hair that reached to the middle of her back and was swept to left across her forehead. Her eyes glowed bright green, three golden orbs hung from each ear in descending size, and she was somewhat skinny. On her head sat a very big hat that was flared out like a fan and was pale green in color, with dark brown lines running along its edges. The lines wrapped around a large oval jewel that ran across the entire front middle of the hat, connecting the top to the bottom, and at the two points of the hat were golden rings that had brown fur running around their rims, with green fur strands stretching from them to her elbows. A cape of brown fur was held in place around her neck by a simple dark brown metal clasp in the shape of an orb that had a bright green round jewel in it and ended at her waist, with a slightly smaller cape of green fur directly underneath it. Her somewhat large breasts were covered by a tannish brown top that hugged them a bit and ended at a thick brown belt with thin gold edges that wrapped around her flat belly, leaving it exposed. The top connected to two large puffy sleeves on her shoulders that ended at her elbows, with dark brown cuffs at the ends of them and a couple dark brown lines running from the cuffs to the tops of her shoulders at equal distances. Running from the cuffs to the bases of her middle fingers were gray tattoos in the shape of three interlocking narrow loops. A small bright green round gem sat in the middle of the belt, with part of the belt extending down all the way to her calves in the shape of a curved sword blade. Gold bands crisscrossed it multiple times and ended at one of a few gold bands near the tip, with the tip itself sheathed in gold. A red kilt hung from her waist, with gold lines running across it to form large squares and running along the edge of the kilt, which reached her knees. A gold cloth was folded over the upper edge of the kilt, with only the very front uncovered. On her feet were golden brown shoes that reached up to her knees, ending at green fur cuffs and looking like they were wrapped from the knee down to her heel. She was holding a 4 foot long sword that had a black hilt with gold spiraling around it towards the blade, with a dark gold band separating the blade from the hilt and a long green fur tassel hung from the other end. The blade itself was very thin, rounded, and sharp, with it curving upwards towards the tip a bit and extending beyond the top of the hilt in a half foot long spike that served as a guard for it.

Tsunade then leaped forward and threw a punch into the first man that had reached her, while Feyone ran at a Redcap with speed one would have not expected for someone of her size to be able to reach and sliced her sword through it.

The Redcap let out a shriek of pain as it turned into reddish orange energy and flew back into the breast pocket of one of the people in suits, while the man Tsunade had punched folded over her fist and then flew backwards from the force of the punch. He flew for several feet before he slammed into another man and knocked him out, with the first man also unconscious.

"Holy crap!" Gavin said with shock as he stared at his mother, who then shouted "Raypulse!" and fired an orange bolt of electrical energy at another agent who was about to hit her in the face, his fist covered in a bright red aura. "I didn't know she could do that!" He continued as the energy hit the man in the face and made him go flying back, while his mother jumped over another man and judo chopped his neck, striking the pressure point adjacent to his prominent Adam's apple. The man's eyes widened briefly in shock, before he fell unconscious and collapsed in a heap on the ground, while Feyone went after a Mindrone, dodging its and the other Mindrone's optical blasts as she got closer to it, prompting it to start hovering in the air, only to let out a shriek as she stabbed it in the eye. The Mindrone turned into green energy and flew back into its amulet, which was in possession of one of the approaching men.

"Take her down men!" DeFoe yelled angrily at his subordinates, pointing at Tsunade as she punched another man in the face, knocking him out and causing a couple teeth to fly out of his now-bloody mouth. "Now!" he continued upon seeing that a few of them had hesitant looks on their faces, while another man flew past them and hit a light pole, causing it to bend several inches.

Another Mindrone let out a shriek of pain as it was sliced in two by Feyone, who smiled as the Titan flew back into its amulet, which was with one of the now unconscious men. She then was hit by a blast from the remaining Mindrone, knocking her off her feet and onto the ground, which made Gavin's eyes widen with worry and DeFoe grin.

"Mom! Look out!" Gavin called out with alarm upon seeing several of the men use their powers to send several Raypulses at her while she punched another man directly into the ground, causing it to crack deeply all around them for several feet.

"Huh?" Tsunade said as she looked up from the unconscious man and saw the attacks coming directly at her. She quickly responded by shouting out "Armorbrand" as she crouched down, holding one hand up as a spherical barrier of indigo energy surrounded her right before the attacks hit her.

Several explosions occurred as the attacks hit the barrier, and small clouds of smoke formed from the hits, obscuring the barrier a bit. But when the smoke dissipated, the barrier was revealed to have no damage on it at all.

"Keep attacking her men!" DeFoe shouted at his subordinates, prompting them to do so, while Feyone was jumped by the sole Mindrone and blasted in the face, causing her to dissipate into green energy and return to Tsunade's amulet. "I'll take care of the kid," He continued as he turned to look at Gavin, who felt a cold shiver run down his spine upon seeing the man looking at him.

"Oh fuck!" Gavin cursed with alarm before he started to get out of the bush, groaning a bit with pain as he did so. 'WhatdoIdo?! WhatdoIdo?!' He thought with worry as DeFoe started to walk towards him, an evil grin on his face as he pulled on his gloves, making sure they were firmly on.

Tsunade turned to Gavin as she shielded herself from the onslaught of attacks, and she shouted, "Run Gavin! Get away from here!"

"Summon me," The female Titan said to him in his mind, causing him to blink a couple times before he looked down at the amulet around his neck. "Say…name…"

"WHAT IS IT?!" Gavin exclaimed loudly as he pulled off the amulet and looked at it, causing Tsunade, DeFoe, and Grier's eyes to widen, with DeFoe's widening the most. "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?!"

"Shut up boy!" DeFoe yelled at him, before he shouted, "Augerfrost!" and fired the blue ball of energy at him.

"Shit!" Gavin yelled in response, just barely managing to get out of the shrub before the attack hit him, with it exploding and tearing the shrub into tiny pieces that rained down on him. "Come on! Tell me your name! Help me!" He begged the Titan.

"Calm…my name…Rouge…," The Titan replied just a little bit more clearly, causing him to smile widely with relief. "Say 'Spread…wings'…"

"Thank you!" He half-whispered to the amulet, before he turned to DeFoe and thrust the amulet up into the air, standing up as he did so. "Spread your wings, Rouge!" He shouted as loud as he could in desperation, with the amulet shining with a bright pink aura immediately afterwards.

"No!' DeFoe exclaimed angrily as a pink symbol of a large heart surrounded by a pair of bat wings shot out of the amulet and hovered in the air for a couple seconds, before joining with the pink energy coming off the amulet and landing on the ground in front of Gavin.

The energy coalesced into a somewhat humanoid form within about a second, before it dissipated, revealing the Titan Rouge.

Everyone's eyes widened even more as they stared at the Titan he had successfully summoned. She stood 5 feet 6 inches tall and had the appearance of an anthropomorphic bat. White fur covered her head, with it flaring out into six points in the rear towards her neck, and tan skin reached from her cute muzzle and small black nose all the way down to her clothes. Her ears were rather large and pointy, with tan skin inside them, the innermost section of ear visible to them being a darker tan color. Her large eyes were turquoise in color and had long eyelashes on them, and her body was quite curvy. Powder blue eyeshadow sat on her upper eyelids, visible whenever she blinked, and pink lipstick sat on her quite luscious lips. A black, strapless unitard sat skin-tight on her body, hugging her large butt and covering her short pointy tail that reached to just above her thick thighs. A pink heart-shaped chestplate with white trim covered the majority of her large breasts, with a decent amount of her cleavage being shown, while a pair of somewhat large dark purple wings sat on her back. Arm-length white five-fingered gloves sat on her arms, with pink cuffs sitting at the ends right before her shoulders. White high-heeled boots with pink cuffs reached up to her lower thighs, and they also had gray soles and pink hearts on the toes.

Rouge was currently standing with two hands on her hips, and looking at DeFoe with a smile, showing off the small white fangs in her mouth. "Oh, it is so good to be out of there!" Rouge said happily as she started to stretch her arms, her voice sounding collected, mature, and seductive. "A lady like me shouldn't be kept locked up in secret," She continued as a couple pops rang out from her arms as she stretched them, before she pulled up one of her legs to stretch it, her wings flapping lightly to keep her upright.

'Damn! She's hot,' Gavin thought as he stared at the Titan, looking her over carefully while pocketing the amulet and holding the book close to his side. 'I didn't know what to expect when I summoned her, but this wasn't it!'

"Grrrrr, Augerfrost!" DeFoe shouted as he fired the attack at the Bat. 'I can't believe he summoned the Titan!' he thought angrily as the attack flew at Rouge, who spotted the attack and front flipped over it with ease.

"Someone's impatient," Rouge said as she landed on her feet, while Gavin ducked down to avoid the attack, which hit another shrub behind him and destroyed it. "Calm down sweetie, I'll get to you in a minute," She continued as she resumed stretching her legs, with a few popping noises coming from her joints when she did so.

'Well, she's really good at dodging it seems,' he thought as he got back up onto his feet. 'I wish she'd deflected it so that I hadn't been in danger of getting hit,' he continued with a small frown. "Rouge, please help me!" he asked the Titan in a somewhat begging tone as she stretched out her wings and flapped them a bit. "Stop them!"

"Don't worry honey," Rouge said to him as she stretched out her wings and swung her hips around with a grunt, looking back at him as she did so. "I'll take care of the bad people for you," She continued with a warm smile and tone of voice that sent shivers down his spine, before she stopped stretching and swinging her hips around. "Now then, let's take care of you first," She said to DeFoe, who fired a Raypulse at her, prompting her to jump up into the air and spread out her wings.

"Raypulse!" DeFoe shouted as he fired another electrical attack at her when she was in the air, which she dodged with ease, her wings flapping as she flew through the air overhead. "Attack her men!" He ordered his conscious subordinates, who summoned three more Redcaps and ordered them to attack her, with seven of the subordinates stopping their attack on Tsunade and going after Rouge.

"Mmmm, you boys certainly know how to make a lady feel special," Rouge said with a smile as she looked at the approaching attacks from the personnel, before she flew down and axe kicked one in the head, knocking him unconscious and cracking the pavement beneath him, as well as shaking it a bit like a jackhammer was hitting it. She then fell forward onto her hands and kicked backwards and upwards, hitting two more men in the stomachs with her high heels, which sent them flying high into the air with loud groans of pain. As they flew through the air, she spun around on one hand and pushed off the ground, before launching herself heels first into the chest of a rather broad-shouldered male Organization member. The man let out an "OOF!" as her heels dug into his chest with the force of a battering ram, knocking the air out of his lungs.

She used his falling body as a springboard to jump at the nearby Mindrone, avoiding the optical blast it sent at her and outspeeding two Redcaps. She swung her heel directly into the Mindrone's face/eye in a High Kick, and the Mindrone screeched as the force of the kick split it right in two, causing it to turn back into energy and go back into its amulet.

"Dear Kami! How fucking strong is she?!" Gavin exclaimed as she flipped over the swiping claws of a Redcap and landed on her hands between four Redcaps that had gathered together, before she started to spin. As she did so, the Redcaps let out screeches as they leaped towards her, before her spinning heels hit their faces and outstretched arms with great force.

As the four Redcaps visors were shattered and their bodies returned to their amulets, Tsunade looked at the two agents who were still attacking her, and smiled. "Dragonfist!" She said as she dropped the barrier and slammed her red-aura-covered fist into the ground at a forward angle, causing the ground to crack and shake heavily in the direction of the two agents.

"Woah!/Agh!" The two agents, a male and female with long blonde hair and tanned skin, cried as the ground shook and cracked beneath them, before it broke into many pieces, knocking them off their feet.

"Raypulse!" Tsunade continued as she hopped up back so she was standing, firing the electrical attacks at the two agents. She then ran at them rather quickly once the attack had left her hands, while Rouge pushed off the ground as one of the two remaining Redcaps attacked her, narrowly avoiding its claws. Gavin had fallen over from the force of his mother's punch, awe on his face when he looked over to her, along with a grunt of pain from hitting his bruises.

"You know, you boys are giving me a pretty good workout," Rouge said as she flew up high into the air, looking down at them as she did so. "But let's wrap this up quickly. This girl's got a date with some gems," She continued, before she axe kicked the attacking Redcap, destroying it, while Tsunade punched the male agent in the sternum.

The man let out a strained cry of pain as he felt his ribs break from her punch, before he felt himself fly back and slam into a car, with the side of the car indenting around him a decent amount, while he fell unconscious about ten seconds later. Rouge then let out a cry of pain as the remaining Redcap managed to slash at her arm before she could move to dodge, and she promptly jumped back up into the air, having to dodge another Raypulse from DeFoe and Grier as she did so.

Rouge looked at her wound as she flew through the air, holding her gloved hand to it as she bled, before she frowned. 'Damn girl. Looks like you're a bit rusty,' She thought, while Tsunade knocked out the other agent with a simple punch to the jaw. 'Better wrap this up now before I get hit by one of them next,' She continued as she flew up rather high, before she dove straight down at Grier, her feet pointed down at him in a drill shape before she started to spin very quickly.

"What the devil?!" DeFoe exclaimed with shock and alarm as the bat spun down towards Grier so fast that she left afterimages of herself, before his attention was drawn by Tsunade, who had run over and thrown a punch at him. "Grrrr! Tsunade!" he growled with anger as he barely dodged the punch and jumped back, while Gavin stood where he was, watching with awe on his face.

"Looks like you've lost, DeFoe," Tsunade said with a smirk as she stood there, while Grier tried to block the Drill Dive with an Armorbrand of his own, managing to put up the barrier a split second before her attack connected to him.

A loud "KKKRRRK!" rang out as her feet drilled against the barrier, with her spinning very quickly, a determined look on her face as she looked down at the barrier. 'Come on! Get through!' she thought as she increased her speed, trying to break through the barrier.

"I have not lost!" DeFoe growled back while clenching his fists, causing her to scoff.

"Your men are unconscious and injured," She replied firmly. "Some will require medical attention and stitches, as well as bed rest," She continued, before a loud "Crash!" rang out as Rouge broke through the barrier, with it shattering like broken glass.

Grier's eyes widened upon seeing the barrier be broken, before her spinning heels slammed directly into his face, sending great pain through his body. 'We failed,' He thought before he fell into unconsciousness, with his large body hitting the ground with considerable force.

"And your right hand man will need stitches and ice packs, as well as x-rays," Tsunade continued. "Leaving you all alone."

DeFoe growled even more angrily as he glared at her, as if his glare could turn her to stone. His clenched fists shook with rage.

"Now here's what's going to happen," Tsunade said to him firmly. "I am going to move all of your men to a safe location so that they can get picked up. You are going to stay with them to make sure they are picked up. You will not follow us!" She continued with narrowing eyes, while Rouge flew up off Grier and started to fly towards them. "If you do, then you'll be worse off than your men. Much worse."

"Grrr, as if I'd take orders from you, Tsunade!" DeFoe replied as he reached into his coat and grabbed an amulet. "Emerge, Kreut-"

"WHAM!"

DeFoe's eyes widened as pain blossomed in the left side of his head and jaw, cutting him off. He moved his blurring eyes to his left and saw that Rouge had kicked him in the head, her right heel planted firmly against him while her wings flapped.

"Goodnight sweetie," Rouge said in a sweet voice, a smile on her face as he fell over, darkness filling his vision. As he landed on the pavement, his arm landed outstretched, and an amulet fell out of his gloved hand, while Rouge stopped herself with her wings, and landed on the ground next to him.

"Did you have to hit him so hard?" Tsunade asked her flatly. "You could have given him a brain bleed."

"He'll be fine," Rouge replied with a wave of her hand, before she smirked. "Besides, you don't seem to particularly care for him," She said. "Why worry?"

At that, Tsunade sighed, and nodded, before she opened her mouth to say something else.

"Holy shit that was awesome!" Gavin said with awe, catching their attention. "I didn't know you could fight like that mom! When'd you learn to do that stuff?" he asked. "Can I learn it? What are Titans? Who were they working for? Why did they want Rouge? Why-"

Tsunade walked over to him and put a finger to his lips, shutting him up instantly. "I will explain everything once I've taken care of them," She said firmly. "Okay?"

At that, Gavin nodded slowly, causing her to smile. "Good," Tsunade said, before she turned her attention back to Rouge, ready to say something to her. However, Rouge was now gone, much to her surprise and frustration. "Dammit," She quietly cursed, pinching the bridge of her nose as she looked down and sighed.

"Um, where'd Rouge go?" he asked his mother.

"I don't know, and that's not good," She replied somewhat firmly. "Normally, she'd return to the amulet when she was done being useful, but she hasn't. People can't see her, especially during the day," She continued, before sighing again. "Just another thing we have to do before we leave."

"We're leaving already?" Gavin asked with surprise and slight disappointment. "Why?"

"Because of DeFoe and his men," Tsunade replied firmly, before she walked over to DeFoe and grabbed him by his jacket collar. "He'll report our location to his boss at the Organization, and they'll send more people after us, with stronger Titans. So once we find Rouge, we're packing and leaving immediately," She continued as she dragged DeFoe over to a nearby shrub and set him next to it, laying him on the pavement before she went to Grier and pulled him over to DeFoe by his ankle.

"…Okay mom," Gavin said with somewhat wide eyes upon hearing that. 'What the fuck have I just stumbled into?!' he questioned as he stood there, while his mother moved all of the fallen agents over to where she'd put DeFoe and made sure to position those who had received the worst injuries in ways that their injuries would not be aggravated, before she pulled out her cell phone once she was done. She pressed a couple buttons, and then put it up to her ear, before she started to speak a few seconds later in German.

Gavin had no idea what she was saying, but based on the fact that she had a resigned look on her face, he had a feeling that she wasn't happy. 'I wonder who she's talking to?' He thought as he watched her talk some more, before she hung up with a frown on her face. 'Oh, I hope she's not in trouble,' he continued with concern.

"So, what'd I miss?" He then heard Rouge say from right behind him, prompting him to let out a short and loud yell of surprise as he jumped in place a little. "Easy there honey, it's just me," Rouge said to him with a small smirk as she stood there, her hands on her hips.

"Dear Kami Rouge, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Gavin replied as his heart raced a bit. "Where'd you go?"

"What, a girl can't go get a bandage whenever she wants?" She asked him with faux disappointment.

"Wait, you got hurt?" Gavin said with surprise, worry appearing on his face, having not seen her get injured at all during the fight. "Is it bad?!" he continued as he looked her over, quickly spotting the gauze wrap on the upper portion of her right arm.

"I'm fine honey," She replied as he looked at her arm. "Just a scratch."

"Where'd you get that?" Tsunade asked her firmly, causing Gavin to jump again slightly, as he hadn't noticed her come over and stand next to him.

"From a shop nearby," Rouge replied nonchalantly.

"Did anyone see you?" She asked her firmly.

"Don't you worry your pretty little head," Rouge replied with a wave of her hand. "I know how to move around without getting spotted," She continued with a proud smile, crossing her arms as she spoke.

"Well at least that's one thing going right today," Tsunade said flatly. "Now then, go back into your amulet so we can hurry along," She continued.

"Uh-uh," Rouge replied with a shake of her head. "No can do. I'm not going back in there," She continued, causing Tsunade to frown and grit her teeth.

"This is no time to be arguing, Rouge!" Tsunade said with frustration. "We must leave at once, so get in your amulet!" She continued.

"Not a chance, blondie," Rouge replied with another shake of her head. "I spent over 160 years in that little cubicle, and I'm not going back so soon," She continued, looking at Tsunade firmly as she spoke.

"Wait, you're 160 years old?" Gavin said with surprise as he looked at her, causing Rouge to look at him with a steely gaze. "I thought you were 25," He continued.

"Ohhh, why thank you Gavin honey!" Rouge replied with a flattered look on her face. "I do my best to keep myself looking good," She continued, before she winked at him, causing him to blush a bit.

"Back to the issue at hand, you need to go into your amulet!" Tsunade stated firmly. "We shouldn't be here when DeFoe and Grier come to," She continued.

"I told you, I'm not going back in that little prison," Rouge replied with a firm look. "I can keep myself from standing out," She continued with a smirk.

Tsunade sighed heavily in response, resting her hands on her hips as she did so. "Very well, if you can manage to come up with a suitable disguise, then I won't force you back into your amulet," She said, causing Rouge's smirk to grow. "We don't have time to argue," She continued, before she started to walk away towards the hotel.

"Oh, I think I can manage that," Rouge replied with a large smirk. "Come on honey," She continued as she started to walk after Tsunade with a slight sway to her hips.

Gavin blushed a bit more upon seeing her sway her hips, and quickly moved his face so that he was looking at his mother, and not at Rouge's hips and rear. 'What have I gotten myself into?' He questioned again as he went after them, leaving DeFoe and his men behind.

They quickly walked to their motel room, with them encountering a few people who had run off terrified, having seen the fight, and Tsunade locked the door behind them once they were inside.

"Gavin, start packing," Tsunade said to him as she walked away from the door and over to her things on the dresser, which had a grass green suitcase next to it.

"Yes mom," Gavin replied with a nod as he walked over to his bed and grabbed his emerald green suitcase with royal purple trim and zippers, putting the book in it for safe keeping when he did so. As they started to pack their things, Rouge walked over to the closet and pulled it open, revealing multiple articles of clothing in it.

"Hmmm," She hummed as she started to rummage through the clothes, holding their sleeves up to her body at times.

'Dear Kami this is crazy!' Gavin thought as he tossed his clothes into his suitcase, hurrying over to the bathroom to grab his toiletries and towel, before he hurried back out and put them in his suitcase as well. 'Those "Organization" guys must be really bad news if mom's cutting our vacation short,' He continued as he looked at his mother, who had a firm look on her face as she tossed all her empty sake bottles into the trash.

"Hey honey, how do I look?" Rouge asked Gavin, prompting him to turn around. There, he saw that Rouge was now wearing a pinkish-red trench coat that ended right above her knees, with her wings tucked up underneath and the collar upturned. The trench coat hugged her body a bit, despite being somewhat bulky. On top of her head was a large pinkish-red fedora with a black band running around it, with the hat covering her ears quite well.

"Wow," He said with a bit of awe, his face blushing a bit as he looked at her. "You look lovely in that," He continued, causing her to smile and chuckle.

"Oh, thank you, honey," She replied while thinking, 'Good looking and he knows how to compliment a lady. Rouge, you are one lucky girl.' "That's sweet of you to say."

"That's an adequate disguise," Tsunade said, having turned to look at Rouge when Gavin did. "Guess I won't have to knock you out after all," She continued with a smirk as she resumed packing, making their eyes widen a bit as uneasy looks appeared on their faces. "How close are you to being done packing, Gavin?"

"Um, I'm done," He replied as he looked over at his packed suitcase and backpack, which matched the suitcase. "Had most of my stuff packed still, so it didn't take me long." 'I really hope she doesn't do that to Rouge again,' He thought. 'I have a feeling it wouldn't be easy to knock her out,' he continued, remembering how she'd fought against the other Titans and humans.

'Looks like blondie here's going to be fun to be around,' Rouge thought as she looked at Tsunade analytically for several seconds, while Tsunade nodded in response to her son's words as she continued to pack. Then, she turned her attention back to Gavin, and smiled.

"By the way, honey, I think you should have this," She continued, catching his attention again before she tossed something at him.

"What is it?" He asked her as he caught the object she'd tossed at him, opening his hands as he spoke. There, sitting in his hands, was an amulet slightly larger than his palm, with a black leather strap tied to it. It was shaped somewhat like a manta ray and simple in design, with a rather short tail and outspread wings that were a dark brown color. The center and "head" of the manta ray was a lighter brown color, with a large oval red gem set in it. "And where'd you get it?"

"Got it off DeFoe," She replied simply, causing his eyes to widen a bit. "Think it's a Titan of some sort," She continued, prompting him to look down at it with surprise and intrigue.

"Really? Which one?" He asked with curiosity.

"Kreutalk," Tsunade replied with a firm look as she looked at them. "An aggressive and upredictable Titan that can spit corrosive acid," She continued, looking from the amulet to Rouge. "How did you get it, and why?"

"It was just laying on the ground next to DeFoe," Rouge replied as she looked at herself in a nearby mirror while thinking 'Girl, you look so stylish!' "Guess it was the one he was going to invoke when I knocked him out," She continued. "And I thought the gem in it was rare." She then sighed as she spun around in front of the mirror, making sure the trench coat was still covering her body when she did so. "It wasn't."

"You stole a Titan from DeFoe because you thought the gem was rare?!" Tsunade asked with shock, before she started to chuckle. "Hmph! While I don't like the reasoning behind it, I know that's going to piss the prick off for sure!" She continued as she chuckled, a smile on her face. "Nice job!" She said as she walked over to the closet and started to pull out all the remaining items in it.

"…Thank you," Rouge replied with a surprised look on her face. 'I like her,' She thought as Tsunade tossed the clothes into her suitcase, emptying the closet in about thirty seconds, before she walked back over to her suitcase and closed it. 'Good taste in clothes too.'

"Ready son?" She asked Gavin as she hefted up her suitcase and her duffel bag.

"Oh! Um, yeah, I'm ready," Gavin replied, quickly hurrying to get his backpack on and grab his suitcase. "I got everything," he continued, pocketing the amulet of Kreutalk as he did so.

"Good, then let's go!" Tsunade said to him as she walked over and unlocked the door, before she opened it. The three of them then walked out of the room, and headed to the lobby, where Tsunade dropped off their keys, having already paid for the room.

"Good, they're still knocked out," Tsunade said as she looked over to where she'd put the Organization members. "Means we won't have to worry about being followed," She continued as she led them over to the sportscar from earlier, still missing its driverside door, and opened the trunk. Then, she set their things inside, before closing the trunk and getting into the driver's seat.

"Oh, thank you honey," Rouge said with a warm smile as Gavin pulled a rear passenger door open and held it for her.

"You're welcome, Rouge," He replied as she got into her seat, before he grabbed her seatbelt and started to pull it over her. "Here, this will keep you secure while we move," He continued as he moved it over her, with her gaining a surprised look on her face as he fastened the seatbelt.

"Honey, that is so sweet of you!" Rouge said happily, touched that he did that for her. She then wrapped her arms around him and pulled him tightly against her covered chest in a hug, much to his surprise. "You are such a gentleman!" She continued as Gavin blushed a nice shade of red, feeling her breasts squishing beneath the fabric.

"You're…you're welcome Rouge," He replied as she continued to hug him for ten more seconds, before Tsunade cleared her throat.

"If you could, please let go of my son," Tsunade said to the bat Titan. "We need to get moving."

"Ohhh, alright," Rouge replied, before she slowly let go of him. Then, she kissed him on the cheek, causing his face to turn even redder, and Tsunade's eyebrow arched a bit high, with her hands gripping the steering wheel a bit tightly. "A gift of thanks for getting me out of my amulet," Rouge said to him as he stood up, winking at him as he did so.

"You're welcome," He replied, his face feeling like it was rather hot, before he gently shut her door. 'Oh my fucking Kami!' He thought as he walked around and got in the front passenger seat, a lipstick kiss on his cheek. 'I just got kissed by a sexy bat lady! Holy shit!' He continued as he shut the door and buckled up, before his mother started the car and drove it out of the parking lot.

"So, what exactly are we in?" Rouge asked as Tsunade drove down the street. "Some sort of enchanted carriage?"

"Humans call it a 'car' or 'automobile,'" Tsunade replied as she turned the car around a corner and headed down another street. "It's powered by a combustion engine."

"So this is what automobiles have become over the last 160 years," Rouge said as she looked around the vehicle, an impressed look on her face. "Huh, I never would have guessed," She continued as she looked around some more, before she looked out the window at the town.

"So, um, mom," Gavin began, trying to not focus on Rouge's kiss. "When'd you learn to do that stuff earlier?" He asked, looking at her as he spoke.

"Mmm, I was around 17 when I stumbled into the world of Titans," Tsunade replied after thinking it over for about ten seconds. "Found my first amulet in an old medicine shop, and ever since, I've been involved with Titans," She continued, before she turned the car to the left and drove it into the parking lot of a barely busy train station.

"That long?" Gavin said with surprise. "Then how come I haven't heard anything about them until now?" He asked her with confusion. "I mean, you say you've been involved with them since before you adopted me, but I've never heard or seen anything about this until today," he continued. "Why is that?"

At that, Tsunade let out a long sigh. "I'll explain once we get on the train," She said as she parked the car and turned it off. "For now, meet me at the ticket office, while I go take care of the car. Choose the route back to home for us while I'm gone," She continued, with Rouge gaining a very interested look upon hearing that.

"Alright mom," Gavin replied with a nod before the two of them got out. He then walked over to Rouge's door and pulled it open, while she struggled with the buckle momentarily before she got it.

"Thank you honey," She said to him with a warm smile as she got out, kissing him on the cheek as she walked past him, causing him to blush hard again.

Tsunade saw this and smirked at her son's blushing face, as she opened the trunk while he closed the door. "Take the luggage with you as well," She said as she pulled out the suitcases and duffel bag, before shutting the trunk and locking the car. "I'll be with you shortly," She continued as she turned and started to walk towards a nearby building.

"See you in a minute," Gavin said to his mother, before he grabbed the luggage and started to slowly move towards the station with Rouge. "Let's hope we don't encounter any more of those guys on the way back," He continued as a light breeze began to blow as they got closer to the dark green train station.

"Hmph, what, you don't like fighting?" Rouge asked him with an arched eyebrow.

"I mean, not really," He replied. "I'll fight if I want to, you know, protect someone, stand up for something I believe in, or save my life," He continued as they reached the front door, which he held open for her. "But I'm not going to go out of my way to fight someone."

"I see," Rouge said as she stepped inside, with him following after her, the door swinging slowly shut behind them. She looked around the lobby with interest, while Gavin headed over to the counter, where a young German girl with blue eyes and braided blonde hair that ran down to her shoulders was sitting.

"Good afternoon, ma'am," Gavin said to the lady, who had a tag on her rather large chest that read "Leoni Lorenz" and had jumped when he'd walked up to her. "I was wondering if I could have a map for routes from here to Italy?" He asked her.

"Certainly sir! May I ask where?" She asked him as she bent down underneath the counter.

"The northeastern portion, Veneto, Venice," He replied, causing her to nod before popping back up from underneath the counter, a brochure in hand.

"Here you go sir!" Leoni said with a smile. "This has all the current routes to Veneto, Italy."

"Thank you!" Gavin replied as he took the brochure, before he moved away from the counter until he was back by Rouge. "Okay, now which route to take?" He said as he pulled open the brochure and started to look at the routes on it, which caught Rouge's attention.

"Hmmm, there aren't many options," He muttered as he looked at the available routes, with there being only three available. "There's one that goes through Switzerland and then into Italy, one that goes through Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and then Italy, and then there's the one that goes through Austria and then into Italy. Which one should we take?"

"How about the third one?" Rouge suggested as she looked at the map from over his shoulder, making him jump a bit. "It's the shortest, and that area has a beautiful view," She continued. "Could be a good way to make up your vacation a little."

"Well, what about the other two? I mean, aren't Switzerland and Lichtenstein known for beautiful views too?" Gavin asked.

"They are, but I think your mother wants to get home as soon as possible," Rouge replied. "Right?"

At that, Gavin furrowed his brow in thought and confusion, before his eyes widened with realization. "Riiiiight, right right right right," he said with a nod, before looking back at the brochure. 'Don't know how, but I forgot for a second that we're trying to get the hell outta dodge,' He thought. 'Guess maybe this is all just still feeling like I'm in a dream or something.' "Guess we should go with that route then," He continued, causing Rouge to smirk as she looked at him, before he turned and headed back to the counter.

"How much would it be for three All-The-Way tickets for this route here?" he asked the lady, pointing to said route on the brochure as he spoke.

"Hmm, well, normally for three tickets with luggage it'd be about $700," the lady replied as she typed in some numbers on her cash register. "But, we are doing a limited time sale right now for purchases of two tickets and more," she continued with a smile. "With that sale in place, it'd cost $450."

"Alright, thank you for letting me know," Gavin said, before he heard the front door open, prompting him to turn around. There, he saw his mother coming towards them, a flat look on her face. "Mom, we've picked the route," He said to her as she walked over to them, with Rouge joining them as well. "This one right here," he continued, showing her the route on the paper.

"Hmm, that'll work," Tsunade said, before she turned to the lady. "How much for three Private All-The-Way tickets?" She asked as she pulled out her dark green cash purse from between her breasts.

"For private ones, that'll be $589," Leoni said after typing in the information, causing her to sigh, before she pulled out the proper cash. "Thank you ma'am," Leoni continued as she took the cash and put it into her register, before she pulled out three tickets from underneath the counter. "Here you go. The next train should be leaving in about five minutes."

"Thank you," Tsunade said as she took the tickets, before all three of them turned and started to walk away.

"Come again!" Leoni called out as they reached the door and went outside.

"Alright, here are your tickets," Tsunade said as she handed them their tickets while they walked over to the platform, where a conductor was standing with a pocket watch in his hand.

"Oh, tickets please," The conductor said to them as he turned, pulling out a stamp from his pocket as he did so.

The three then handed him their tickets one at a time, and he stamped them, leaving a large red castle on them. "Thank you very much! Enjoy your ride to Venice!" He said as he handed them back their tickets, before he walked away down the platform.

'So this is what trains look like now,' Rouge thought as they headed towards the red train and its red cars, of which there were several. 'I must say, it doesn't make nearly as much steam as the old ones did. Or send out that nasty smoke,' She continued, remembering how she'd been blasted with steam and smoke one time by a train, ruining her clothes.

"Okay, we're in the very last car," Tsunade told them quietly as they entered one of the cars and started to walk down it, with them passing by a tourist couple who were making out with each other as they went. "So we shouldn't have any company," She continued as they entered the next car, which was empty.

A few empty cars and a dining cart later, they reached the last one, and Tsunade locked the door once they were inside. Dark bluish black carpet covered the floor, while creamish gray paint covered the walls and ceiling. Two long and large windows sat on either side, with long, red-cushioned couches running underneath them. A large door with multiple locks on it sat at the very back in the middle of the wall, with a couple boxes next to it having print on them reading "Emergency Brake" and "Fire Extinguisher." Vents leading to air conditioning were set high up in the walls, while a medium sized table sat on the left side right next to one of the couches. A large skylight sat in the roof, but was currently covered by a large shade.

Gavin set the luggage down on the floor to the left side of the door, before he sat down on the left couch, with Tsunade sitting down on the right couch. Rouge then went to take off her disguise, and Tsunade spoke up. "Not yet Rouge," she said firmly. "Not until we're moved away from here," She continued, causing Rouge to sigh, before she sat down on the couch next to Gavin.

About thirty seconds later, they heard the conductor's voice ring out from right outside their car. "AALLLLLLLL ABOOOOOOOOARD!" He bellowed, like he was trying to yell at someone from the other side of a football stadium. "ALLLL ABOOOARRD!" He repeated, before falling silent.

"Damn he's loud!" Gavin said with an impressed look on his face, before they heard the train blow its whistle and then jerk forward a bit hard. All three rocked to the side from the sudden jerk, but fortunately none of them fell over.

As the train started to slowly pick up speed, the conductor walked by, glancing through the car window before he headed into the next car. When he did so, Tsunade got up and locked the door, before she pulled down the window shade and fastened it. "Gavin, pull down the shade on your window," She said to him as she headed over to the long window on the right side and pulled on the cord hanging next to it, causing a shade to drop down and cover it. "We need to talk."

"Yes Mom," Gavin replied as he got up and walked around so that he could grab the cord and pull down the shade. Once it was down, he sat back down in his seat, and looked at her. "Are you answering my questions now?" He asked her while Rouge took off her disguise, folding it up neatly and setting it to the side while her wings fluttered a little, before she reclined in the corner of the couch with her hands behind her head.

"Yes," Tsunade replied with a nod, a firm look appearing on her face as she looked at him. "First off, Titans are ancient, powerful beings from another dimension that were all summoned by one man before thousands of years ago. That man was named Lord Casterwill," She began, with Gavin arching his eyebrow as he listened to her. "He summoned them for one purpose and one purpose only-to defeat the Nullifiers, an ancient and extremely powerful race of beings that once ravaged the world," Tsunade said, before she sighed, her firm look growing a bit tighter. "Not much is known about him other than that, except that he died soon after he won the battle, and his descendants became Seekers like him."

"'Seeker,'" Gavin repeated with confusion. "What's a 'Seeker?'"

"You are honey," Rouge replied as she laid there with her eyes closed, prompting him to turn to her with a surprised look on his face.

"I'm a Seeker?" He questioned, pointing at himself with a finger.

"A new one, but yes," Tsunade replied with a sigh as she looked at him, resting her arm on the back of the couch as she did so. "A Seeker is a person who can summon and command Titans and use spells," She explained, causing his eyes to widen.

"Wait, those were spells?!" He exclaimed with shock. "And I can use them too?!"

"With proper training, yes," Tsunade replied, causing his eyes to widen even more. "You see, the source of a Seeker's power is their will, which dwells in their hearts and minds," She explained.

"Holy shit!" Gavin said with shock as he sat there, looking down at his hands, before he sat back and put his hands to the sides of his head. "Holy shit!"

"A Seeker summons Titans through the amulets they reside in and can use their abilities to help them," Tsunade continued as her son sat there, his eyes widening with everything he was hearing. "But they will only listen to their commands if they can bond with each other. Titans bond easiest with Seekers who have similar personalities to them and their previous Seekers, and may outright not bond with a Seeker if the differences between personalities is too great," She explained. "And as long as you have their amulet and are bonded to them you can summon them at any time," She said. "Now tell me, how on earth did you stumble across her?" She asked her son.

"I was given her by some store owner at an antique shop," Gavin replied, sounding like he was struggling a bit to focus on what she had just asked him. "He put her in a book I bought without me knowing it, and then he told me that everything inside the bag was mine when I left," he continued. "A few minutes later, those suit-wearing guys came after me."

"Hmm, he must have known that the Organization was coming for her, and gave her to you so they wouldn't get her," Tsunade replied, putting a hand to her chin in thought. "A brave move to make, and a smart one."

"Okay, you keep on mentioning this 'Organization,'" Gavin said with slight frustration, feeling overwhelmed with all he was hearing. "Who are they?! How come they knew you?! And why didn't you tell me about this at all when I was younger?!" he continued with a frustrated growl as he looked at his mom. "Why?!"

Tsunade's brow furrowed a bit, before she sighed deeply. "I wasn't sure how to tell you exactly," She admitted, causing his frustration to die down a bit. "Nor did I exactly want to," She continued as she looked at him. "The life of a seeker can be quite dangerous, and the thought of you getting seriously hurt or worse is one that I do not wish to spend any amount of time on!" She said somewhat emotionally.

Silence filled the air for several seconds after she said that, before she sighed. "As for the Organization, they are a ruthless secret society of Seekers that have agents in every government in the world. They will stop at nothing in their goal to control as many Titans as possible so they can control the world," She continued with a frown, forming a fist at the thought of them. "If not for the Huntik Foundation, they'd have succeeded long ago."

"The what?" Gavin asked her with confusion.

"The Huntik Foundation," Tsunade replied, unclenching her fist as she spoke. "That is the name of the secret group I am a part of. They aim to stop the Organization from its goals," She continued. "And now, you can be a part of that."

"So you-I-she-there's a-Oh my Kami!" Gavin groaned as he leaned back in his seat, dragging a hand down his face as he spoke. "This is so not what I expected!" He continued as he kept his hand on his face. "Not even a little!"

"I know," Tsunade said to him calmly. "You need time to process all this, and I'll give it to you," She continued, before their stomachs growled. "Do you have any other questions?" She asked him, prompting him to nod while quietly saying "No."

"Alright, then I'm going to get us some dinner," She said as she got off the couch and headed over to the door with her purse, before she turned to him and Rouge once more. "Anything you'd like in particular?"

"A bottle of fine wine and a fancy dinner would be lovely," Rouge said to her with a smile, while Gavin shook his head.

"Hmph, I'll see what I can do," Tsunade replied with a smirk, before she left the car, sliding the door shut behind her.

Once she was gone, Rouge sighed, and pulled out a nail file from between her breasts, before she pulled her gloves off her slender hands, revealing that her nails were painted pink like her glove cuffs. She then started to gently file them, stopping every once in a while to look at them before resuming her filing, while Gavin sat there, his mind swimming with information.

A half hour passed, before Tsunade returned with some Styrofoam boxes and drinks, shutting the door behind her and locking it once she'd entered the cart. The sound of the door locking snapped Gavin out of his daze, and he turned to look at her, while Rouge pocketed her nail file and put her gloves back on, having finished doing her nails.

"Here, one for each of us," Tsunade said as she set the items on the table, before she grabbed a nearby folding chair and sat on it. She then opened her box, revealing some German sausage in it along with mashed potatoes covered in butter, and started to eat, while Gavin and Rouge opened their boxes to find the exact same thing inside.

"You know, this isn't what I had in mind," Rouge said as she lifted up a forkful of mashed potatoes, watching as the butter ran off it like a waterfall. "If I eat this, I know I'm going to lose my figure," She continued, causing Gavin to arch his eyebrows and look at her incredulously.

"You're kidding, right?" He asked her, before he took another bite of his potatoes. "That much butter won't do that to you," he continued as he grabbed his cup and drank some of the liquid inside, finding it to be root beer.

Rouge gave him a look that said, "Really?" before she set the potatoes back down and grabbed her drink. 'Let's see what concoction you got me, blondie,' Rouge thought as she put the cup to her lips and took a small sip, allowing the liquid to coat her tastebuds.

Her eyes widened at the fruity flavor of the drink, and she hummed as she took another and larger sip. "Mmmm, well at least you didn't fail on the drink, blondie," Rouge said as she looked at her cup with a smile. "It's red wine, right?" She asked Tsunade, who had just finished one sausage and moved on to the other.

"Mhm! It's one from Venice," Tsunade replied.

"Venice, huh?" Rouge said as she looked at the cup of wine, before she drank some more. "Lovely place," She continued as she set her cup down, before she took her fork and knife and cut into the sausage. 'And lovelier jewels,' She thought with a warm smile. 'Oh, I hope my babies haven't been taken!'

"You've been there before?" Gavin asked as he finished his sausage and moved onto his potatoes.

"Honey, I've been alllll over the world," Rouge replied. "You name it, I've probably been there."

"Wow! That's awesome!" Gavin said with awe. "You've gotta tell me about those places sometime!" He continued as he ate, causing Rouge's eyebrows to rise slightly.

"I'll do that," She replied with a warm smile before she ate the piece of sausage she'd cut.

'Hmm, so she's travelled the world, can fly, and is good at disguises,' Tsunade thought as she looked at Rouge from the corner of her eye. 'She's a very interesting Titan. I wonder what the Holotome will reveal about her when we get home?' She questioned.

The three continued to eat for the next fifteen minutes before they finished, with Rouge finishing last, as she'd been rather slow in drinking her wine, and she'd left her butter-soaked potatoes untouched. "Ahhhhh," Tsunade sighed with a smile as she set her fork inside the box and closed it, with Gavin doing the same. "Well then, now that we've eaten, we should go to bed now," She said to them as she looked at the window shade, where she could see that the sun had set completely.

"It's time for bed already?" He asked her with surprise, turning around and looking around the shade to look outside. "Oh, I guess you're right," he continued with a "huh" of surprise.

"Of course I am," Tsunade replied as she stood up and set the chair back in its place, before she grabbed a curtain that had been hanging on the ceiling all rolled up, and unrolled it. The dark gray curtain rolled down until it reached the floor, and she then pulled it so that it ran across the entire car. Then, they heard the sound of something heavy getting lifted up, before the sound of a zipper getting pulled reached their ears.

'Wow blondie,' Rouge thought with surprise as Gavin blushed a bit with realization. 'Pretty bold of you to change right here right now,' She continued with a smirk as they looked at the curtain, which moved a little a couple of times. 'Especially with your son in the room.'

A few minutes went by, before they heard the zipper sound again, followed by the sound of something heavy hit the floor. Then, they heard Tsunade grunt a little as the sound of moving fabric reached them, confusing them slightly, while the curtain moved around a lot more.

'What is she doing?' Rouge and Gavin thought with confusion as they watched the curtain for the next few minutes, before it was pulled back by Tsunade.

"Alright Gavin, it's your turn to change," Tsunade said as she stood in front of the somewhat small bed she'd made via the pullout bed hidden in the seat and with the seat cushions. She had taken off her sandals and haori, revealing the rest of her blouse, and walked over to the table so he could go behind the curtain and change.

"A-Alright mom," Gavin said with a slight stammer and blush as he got up and headed over to the other side of the car, pulling the curtain shut behind him once he reached the bed. 'Oh Kami, I can't believe I'm doing this with Rouge in the car!' he thought as he started to take off his clothes, tossing his shirt onto the bed while he slipped out of his shoes. He then sat down and took off his socks and shorts, revealing that he was wearing purple underwear that had a large bulge in the crotch. When he did so, he felt the amulets in his pocket move around, prompting him to stop and take them out. 'Man, to think that these things hold Titans,' he thought as he looked at them. 'I wonder what Kreutalk is like?' He continued as he looked at the aforementioned Titan's amulet for several seconds, before he set it and Rouge's amulet back into his shorts. 'Guess I'll find out later.' Then, he went over to his suitcase and opened it.

He set his clothes and shoes inside it, before he grabbed his pajamas, which consisted of a teal sleeveless tanktop and dark bluish-black baggy pants, and shut the suitcase. He then put the clothes on, before he opened the curtain, and saw that Rouge was now leaning against the door, as Tsunade had pulled out the other bed, which had red sheets on it like the first one.

Rouge looked at him analytically as he stood there, starting from his chest and going down. 'Not bad, not bad,' She thought.

"Alright, Rouge, do you need anything for tonight?" Tsunade asked her, snapping her from her analyzing gaze, which Gavin had noticed and was trying to ignore while not blushing more than he already was.

"Do you have a nightgown or something I could use?" Rouge asked her.

"I don't," She replied with a shake of her head, causing Rouge to frown slightly. "But I might have something you could wear," She continued as she headed past Gavin and over to her suitcase, prompting him to step to the side as Rouge walked over, swaying her hips as she passed him, a smirk on her face as she did so.

Gavin's face blushed a brighter shade of red upon seeing this act, and he looked away while thinking, 'Oh dear Kami! Why is she doing this to me?!' with him feeling his cock start to harden a bit in response. 'Dammit! No! Down boner! Down!' He yelled with alarm, while Rouge and Tsunade looked through the suitcase, with Rouge having pulled the curtain shut behind them.

"How about this?" Tsunade asked Rouge, who hummed for several seconds.

"Hmmm, not super stylish, but I can deal with it," Rouge replied. "You have any matching slippers?"

"I do have some, actually," Tsunade said. "They're right there," She continued, before she pulled back the curtain and walked out, pushing the curtain back once she'd passed it.

'What did my mother give Rouge to wear?' He thought as he heard Rouge start to hum a little tune while she changed clothes, with them hearing a couple small tearing sounds for a couple seconds. 'Oh, please don't let it be lingerie,' he continued, before the image of Rouge wearing red lingerie popped up in his head. 'Goddammit!' he yelled in his head as he felt his cock harden a bit more at the image, before he shook his head. 'No! No no no no no! I will not think of her like that! Besides, she has no interest in me,' He thought. 'Right? Right?' he continued as he put a hand to his cheek, where her lipstick kiss was still.

Tsunade saw him do that, and smirked, before the curtain was pulled to the side, revealing Rouge. She was wearing a peach pink tank top that had a bit of her chestplate sticking out of it, with her black jumpsuit sticking out underneath it as well. On her legs was a matching pair of pajama pants, with a set of fluffy pink slippers on her feet, her boots in her hand.

'Wow,' Gavin thought as he looked at her. 'She looks great!'

"What do you think honey?" Rouge asked him as she posed herself with one hand on her hips.

"I…I think it looks great on you," Gavin replied honestly. "It fits you perfectly."

"Oh, thanks honey," Rouge said with a warm smile that sent a shiver through him for some reason. "That's so kind of you to say," She continued as she walked over and kissed him on the cheek, causing him to blush rather hard and look away quickly, which caused her to smirk.

Tsunade smiled at his reaction, before she spoke. "Alright then, let's sleep," She said as she turned off the lights to the car, filling it with darkness, with only a few rays of the moon's light shining into the room due to the shades. "We've got some things to do tomorrow when we get home," She continued as she stepped over to the bed and got into it.

"Okay mom," Gavin said, before he started to head towards the bed. As he did so, he accidentally ran into Rouge due to the limited amount of light. "Oh! Sorry Rouge!" He said apologetically very quickly to her as he stopped. "I didn't mean to do that!"

"No worries honey," Rouge replied with a smile. "No harm done," She continued, sending relief through him.

"Oh good!" he said happily. "Well, goodnight Rouge," He continued as he got onto the bed and grabbed the curtain, before he pulled it shut.

"Goodnight honey," Rouge replied as he and his mother laid down on the bed and closed their eyes, while she sat on her bed and looked out the window.

It was a while before any of them fell asleep that night, as they all had things on their minds.

I hope you enjoyed my usage of Rouge as a Titan. That idea and help with this chapter is all thanks to GeneralTigerDragon! I am very grateful to them for their help!

Also, Rouge's appearance hints at something for this story. I wonder if any of you can figure it out!
