Loud House Rider Legacy

chapter 8 Slothing around.

Saturday 9:00 a.m. We find ourselves at the Airport in Detroit, Michigan and walking out one of the terminals, are two young man one of them looks familiar. This man is the same man who was at the Resting Moon Cafe wearing the same attire, but with a different mask; his name is Kazue Kobayashi walking out of the terminal with him is man around five feet seven inches tall, had spiky black hair, and brown eyes with glasses. He was wearing a long-sleeved blue shirt, along with gray pants, and simple sneakers.

"Well, that was a pleasant two-hour flight, wouldn't you agree, senpai?" The man asked with a cheerful and upbeat tone. Kazue glared at him with a scornful expression.

"3 months working in Texas, you still call me senpai Keiji." Kazue says the name of his companion with a hint of annoyance.

"Anyways, I wish the flight had been longer; I could have used the extra time for more sleep. Oh well, let's just get this assignment done with." He said in a tired tone as he left the terminal while Keiji follow him.

As they walk, Keiji looks around and admires the size of the airport. He sees many different people coming in from different parts of the world. Different parts of America. He can't help but admire the sight of all the people he sees in front of him. Meanwhile, Kauze seems to be focused on what's ahead of them, ignoring everything else around him. Keiji glances at his companion. He can see that his companion is deep in thought and he can tell that his companion is bothered by something. He has a hunch about what it might be but wasn't too sure, so he decided to ask anyway.

"Hey Kobayashi-san are you all right?" Keiji asked concerningly.

"I'm fine I'm just thinking about certain things." Kazue said neutrally.

"So what were you thinking about Kobayashi-San?" Keiji asked as Kazue let out a frustrated sigh.

"Nothing much, I was still thinking about where in Sam Hill that no-good child-killing Varman ran off to." He answered in a frustrated tone; it had been nearly a week since he fought her, and throughout that week he'd been searching high and low for his target, but he came up empty.

"I see you're one obsessed, driven individual, aren't you, Kobayashi-san?" He asked rhetorically.

"Yep, it's what's kept me alive all this time." He says bluntly.

"It is pretty strange, I have to admit. Everyone in the office says that Smith-san never misses a day of work since being transferred to the Dallas branch. They all say that she works very hard. I have spoken to her personally, and she didn't seem like a terrible person..." Keiji paused for a moment, then his face shifted to a disturbed, disappointed look. He continued, "That is until you showed me what she had done across America. And when you showed me evidence that she was responsible for the incident with the Williams family, my perspective of her shattered."

"You're too easily fooled by the folks who work at our company," said Kazue. "When she transferred to our branch, I knew she'd be trouble - from my experience, anyone who works for Smart Brain is either crazy, insane or a little bit of both." Kazue stated.

"However, I can confidently say that there are very few decent folks working in our company; for example, there's you, then Harper, Michiko the janitors who keep our workplace nice and tidy, the cafeteria ladies who serve delicious meals, and a select few number of the tech guys and inventors in our company. They're all decent folks, but unfortunately, the people that the tech guys and inventors work for are all suspicious as snakes." Kazue said the last part with with a slight sense of distrust.

"You know I'm rambling too much; the point is Susan was suspicious. We'll just leave it at that. I'll worry about her once we get back. I don't mind searching for another week. Which reminds me, we need to pick up some souvenirs for Harper, Michiko, the cafeteria ladies, the janitors, and the tech guys. While we're there, we should also grab something for ourselves." Kazue said. Keiji responded by pulling out his phone and starting to type a reminder.

"Got it, senpai. I'll remind you if we have time." He said as he put away his phone.

"Which also reminds me, Kobayashi-senpai, do you know what kind of job we're doing this time?" Keiji asked curiously.

"When are you going to start calling me by my first name, Keiji?!" Kazue asked in an irritated tone; he's not a big fan of being talked to like he's a superior.

"First thing first, the job," Keiji said in a serious tone as he adjusted his glasses. Kazue let out an exasperated sigh and beginning to speak.

"All right, here's the rundown according to our manager. This time around, they tasked us to bring in rogue agents from our own company, Aoiki." He informed as he pulled out a file from his jacket and handed it over to his partner.

Keiji took the file and opened it. The file showed a picture of a man in his late twenties. He had slightly messy hair and was wearing his clothes very sloppily.

"Well, he doesn't look threatening from the way he is dressed and how he presents himself. If I'm right about him being lazy, then bringing him along won't be a problem for us." Keiji stated confidently.

"Don't let his lazy look fool you," He said. "Despite how he looks, he's a very dangerous individual. Give him the right motivation and he's a force to be reckoned with." Kazue continued, glaring at the file and image of the target. This piqued Keiji's curiosity, so he asked a personal question.

"I'm detecting some pent-up hostility from you, senpai, and I get the feeling you have some history with him or know him on a personal level; the way you're looking at the file. If it's all right for me to ask you, what did he do to get you so hostile? Is it alright if I ask you?" Keiji asked in a very calm but nervous tone.

"I worked with him before; he has a lot of issues and problems. For example, he gets easily annoyed with anything that gets on his nerves. Instead of letting it go, he immediately tries to get rid of his annoyance by silencing anyone or anything around him, heck that lazy entitled brat tried to kill me once just because I was barking orders he said and I quoted "shut the hell up and let me do whatever the hell I want!" So I sent him to the company's hospital and I did it without transforming or using my secret weapon." He said with a smug tone which caught Keiji off guard. He was surprised to hear that his partner had done such a thing.

"Wow, that's pretty impressive, senpai." Even though Kazue was hiding behind a mask, he couldn't help but smile bashfully Keiji compliment.

"It was nothing really I just couldn't stand how disrespectful he was being." Kazue says then released a sigh of disappointment and annoyance.

"Unfortunately, the discipline I gave him wasn't enough to keep him in line; he eventually left. I take partial responsibility for it." He said in a frustrated tone, catching Keiji off guard once more.

"Really, the reason he left was because of you. I don't believe it." Keiji said in a doubtful tone. He went back to read the file thoroughly. Looking through it more thoroughly, he found a section labeled "reason for defecting/leaving/going rogue," and Kazue's name appeared there, listed as a cause for his departure from the company.

"Oh boy," he commented as he finished reading. "You weren't kidding." He gasped in surprise at what he had found. His eyes were wide with disbelief.

"Oh dear! According to this, he has caused a lot of problems throughout America; it's a long list. According to this, he's caused some of the most notable ones, like causing a lot of bar fights and when officers went to break up a fight, they found nothing but ashes. There's another incident in another state where he destroyed an entire restaurant, and the reports say they found ashes too - no survivors. And what's worse, he murdered an entire private party at a local park; according to the accounts of certain survivors they all said that the monster attacked him because he was annoyed then they turned to ash." Keiji gasped in horror at the actions of this rogue agent and for the reasons he did it was because they annoyed him.

"Yep, all those innocent people who were just going about their day, having a good time of their lives, and then he came rolling in, for some reason, they annoyed him for what reason I don't know, he killed them all, just because they annoyed him. It's a miracle that we weren't exposed because of this idiot; he's more sloppy than those fangres." Kazue stated in a frustrated angry growl voice. Keiji could feel his partner's emotions because he too felt the same way.

"You know something is bugging me; why did the company wait this long to deal with this liability? It doesn't make sense!" Keiji asked.

Your guess is as good as mine. Personally, I think we shouldn't have intervened when he basically took out that entire party. But when our superior approached me and told me the whole situation, what was going on,

"Your guess is as good as mine. Personally, I think we should have intervened when he basically took out that entire party. But when our supervisor approached me and told me the whole situation what was going on, I found it to be rather annoying and frustrating. You well know, the entire reason we're going this is written at the end of the file they handed me." Kauze let out another frustrated growl of annoyance. Keiji resumed reading, his eyes widening in surprise.

"It says here in the file that another group were trying to attempted to apprehend him, but he murdered them all in the process. They were carrying some vital information, and he took off with it. This incident is why he has now become a main target; he may have either intentionally or unintentionally acquired vital information from our company." Keiji stated this to his partner, who didn't seem too concerned about it, only letting out an annoyed sigh.

"Yes, while we apprehend this brat, we also may need need to take back any sensitive data he may have on him. If he doesn't have it, we report back to the Detroit branch of the company, and they will sort things out. Personally, I would love to kill that no-good brat for everything he has done; we can always replace the data but there is no replacing those people he took." Kazue said with a sense of animosity and urgency.

It's 10:00 a.m. at the Loud House, and we see our rider sitting on the couch in the living room, looking at six different packages of varying shapes and sizes, all of which are addressed to him. Rey is puzzled by the sheer volume of packages in front of him, wondering what he did to deserve such surprise gifts or items. He assumes the sender must be Claire.

"I wonder what Claire send me this time?" Rey asked himself.

"Well enough dilly-dallying; time to see what I got," Rey said as he reached for the largest package. Then he took out a knife that he had on him before cutting the tape. Afterward, he opened the package. Inside, he found a large assortment of paintbrushes, an X-Acto knife, nipers, along with a cutting mat and a bottle of paint thinner.

"Interesting." Rey commented.

Then he moved on to the next package; the next package he picked out was rectangular in shape, wrapped in paper. He used his knife to cut the paper, then slowly ripped it open. The contents were revealed to be a model kit - not just any model kit, but a Gundam model kit. Not just any Gundam, though; it was an HG RX-78-2 Gundam.

"The original Gundam? I built a version of this back in my world a couple of years ago. Why would Claire send another copy of something I have built?" Rey questioned as he was in deep thought, then something hit him and he glanced at his pokéballs.

"Thinking back on it now, I haven't built anything in nearly a year since I was on my journey and wound up in this world. I wonder if I still have it; this will be a perfect test to see if my building skills haven't gotten rusty." Rey said as he set the model down next to his building and painting supplies.

The next package he chose was rectangular in shape, wrapped in paper. Curious, he literally ripped the package to shreds. To his surprise, the package contained a Nintendo Switch.

"Cool, a Nintendo Switch! Wonder if she packed any games for this?" Rey questioned as he went for another package. This time, it was a medium rectangle box upon opening the package it is revealed to be four games for the console.

"Oh sweet! Let's see here: Octopath Traveler 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Astral Chain, and Sonic Frontiers. I can't wait to get started playing these games!" Rey said excitedly as he put away both the Switch and his games.

Now, there are only two packages left. One is a small rectangular box and the other one is is a fairly large box. He reaches for the large one, assuming it contains a package. Taking out his knife, he cuts the tape that seals it. Rey gasps, at the site was inside the box. There were stacks of two sets of manga: the first were volumes 4 and 5, of Rosario vampire and the other are volumes 1 and 2 of a manga called Koibito wa Oni no Hime Rey let out a loud screech.

"Oh, sweet, Volume 4 and 5 of Rosario Vampire, and Volumes 1 and 2 of Koibito wa Oni no Hime. This is awesome; thank you, Claire!!" Rey shouted with a great deal of gratitude and excitement.

'I hate to interrupt your happy moment, Master! I'm sensing Lori is heading your way right now, probably to complain about your sudden screech of excitement. My guess is she was texting to her friends or talking to her boo-boo bear again. Brace yourself.' Meni warned, and right on cue, Lori comes in, stomping angrily with her phone in hand.

"Can you keep it down, Rey? I'm in the middle of a conversation with Bobby!" Lori explained. Rey simply rolled his eyes.

"Oh geez, Lori. I'm sorry I interrupted your precious moment with your boo-boo bear." Rey remained in a snarky manner, glaring back at her with an annoyed deadpan expression.

"Cut me some slack, Lori. I just got overly excited about getting some cool stuff from my lawyer." Rey said, showing off the stacks of manga he got from Claire.

"Really, you're literally getting excited over a bunch of Japanese comic books?" Lori said in a surprised, bewildered tone.

"I didn't think you'd be interested in that silly Japanese cartoon stuff." She said in a mocking tone, a tone that brought out unsettling feelings to Rey that really rubbed hin the wrong way.

"What do you say?" He asked in a calm demeanor.

"Seriously, you literally didn't hear me. I said I didn't think you would be interested in that silly Japanese cartoon."

"Don't refer anime as a cartoon, Lori Marie Loud!" Rey angrily interrupted her in a very dangerous, menacing tone of voice that frightened Lori Rey got up from his spot and proceeded to menacingly marched towards Lori but for some reason she felt paralyzed with fear.

"Anime is far beyond to be classified as a cartoon it's wonderful medium filled with so many wonders to discover many genres, many stories, wonderful characters, convoluted plots, meaningful messages, the whole package merely calling you to cartoon is a great an insult for the beauty that it is!" Rey exclaimed passionately furthering terrifying Lori quickly notice that he is terrified he quickly composed himself by breathing in and out.

"I apologize if I frightened you, Lori. The way you referred to anime as a cartoon, not mentioning how you spoke of it really brought back some unsettling memories. A lot of my underclassmen from my old school really made fun of me and gave me a hard time for liking it. Same thing goes for manga and my love for Japanese music." Rey informed.

"You like Japanese music!?" Lori said surprised.

"Yep, my phone is filled with Japanese music." Rey informed by showing his phone on which the screen showed nothing but music in Japanese writing.

"Wow you literally weren't kidding." Lori said as Rey put away his phone.

"Yep, for future reference, please refrain from calling anime 'cartoon' and/or refrain from making fun of me for it. Someone like you will never understand how important this stuff is for me, so for your safety, Lori." Rey spoke calmly and softly, yet with a bitter snarky tone before delivering a death glare.

"Tread lightly when speaking to me about my interest, unlike Lincoln, I don't take anyone's hacking over my stuff. I will defend it to my very core, then let someone like you or your sisters minus Lucy, and Lily make fun of it or trample on this medium that I hold dear to my heart. Do I make myself clear, Ojou-chan!" Rey exclaims as he pops his right index finger with his thumb menacingly. Lori panicked and bolted out of his presence, screaming.

Seen that he got his point across he grunt and heads back to the couch to open his final package.

'Geez, I never see you this defensive or intense with anyone about your manga's. Do you think you're being a little too harsh?'

"Is there a problem with the way I talk to her, Onibi?" Rey asks rhetorically in a very menacing tone that spooks his main Pokémon.

'Whoa, take it easy there, boss. No need to get so hostile. I'm just saying you don't need to go that far to threaten her. I know Lori and LJ aren't your favorite in this house, but I don't think it was necessary of you to threaten her like that all because she was teasing you about your interest I know you're better than that boss.' Onibi said in a disappointed tone.

'I agree with Onib, Rey, dear. could have simply just ignored her and focus on your own personal task.' Kaori scolded.

'Well, I for one personally think the boss didn't do anything wrong. He was just saying what's on his mind. The way Lori talked to him really annoyed me too. It was pretty fun to see the boss put the fear in that little bossy blonde.' Kestrel said gleefully at her trainers acts towards Lori.

'I can't believe I'm going to say this, though, but I'm with Kestrel on this one. In this case, I felt that Master's energy, whatever Lori said, was very unpleasant for the master. If she ever dares to talk in a mocking manner again, I will personally make myself known and make her suffer and put her in her place. Nobody causes my master pain!' Meni exclaimed threateningly, and everyone present, including Rey himself, felt frightened and had chills down their spines.

'Has anyone ever told you you're scary when you're protective.' Edgar and Ryūsei said in unison, Rey nodded his head in acknowledgment of their opinions.

"I will be honest, I do feel a little bad for scaring Lori, but I didn't like the way she talked to me." Ray said with a look of shame and sadness as he reached for the small box.

"The way she talked reminded me of how my underclassmen used to pick on me and make fun of me for liking anime and manga; well, that happened a very long time ago. I still feel the trauma from being made fun of while they did put those underclassmen in their place. It wasn't the same back home with my family. One of my relatives constantly harassed me for reading or watching it; it had gotten so bad that he called me a devil worshipper for liking it!" Rey exclaimed angrily as he opened the package, startling his Pokémon inside the somewhat damaged package revealed to be a smartphone.

"A new smartphone?" Rey looked at it with confusion.

"It is a nice gesture from Claire, but my phone still works fine. I don't think I need it, but I'll never know what this job is. I'll put it away in case of an emergency."

Elsewhere, we find our Duo in the city of Detroit. In front of the large tall company building with a smart brain's logo, The Duo stared at the building with a sense of admiration.

'Well I have to say this building is just as big as ours in Dallas.' Kazue thought.

"An impeccable timing gentleman." A woman's voice brought them out of their thoughts in front of them stood a blonde-haired woman in a very sharp and professional dress, who stairs closed her watch and in her right hand a briefcase then looked at the men very professionally.

"Greetings, Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Sasaki. I am Louise, the personal secretary of the manager of the Detroit Branch. Please follow me." The woman named Louise politely asked the duo to follow her, which they complied once they entered the building. The interior looked modern and advanced, and the three of them stopped at a nearby elevator impressively large and opened its doors immediately. They headed inside the elevator, showing a large number of buttons that would lead to the floors. Louise pressed the central button.

After a few moments, the elevator stopped and it opened. Louise stepped out first, our Duo followed next, then she led them down the hallway. As they passed several rooms, they came to their stop. Louise opened the door. She gestured them to come in. Our Duo stepped in the room, which was a large white conference room. In the room lay a rectangle shape table with five chairs. The Duo wasted no time and took a scene next to each other. Louise took a seat that faced them.

"I apologize, that the manager cannot be here to greet you two personally he has some important matters to attend to. So I will be acting on his behalf as your representative I hope I do well as your mission holder again I do apologize for the inconvenience." Louis spoke professionally while bowing her head uponogenically for the inconvenience that these two have to deal with Keiji looked at her with a deadpan expression as did Kazue.

"Please don't need to apologize, we understand. I can imagine being a manager of one of our company branches must be tough." Keiji spoke in an understanding tone.

"Agreed, stuff just happens; raise your head, please, ma'am." Kazue said in an annoyed tone.

"Thank you for your understanding, gentlemen. Let's get down to business." Louis said as she opened her briefcase and took out two files. The first file she opened showed information about Royal Woods and the rogue agent.

"We have found the rogue agent in Royal Woods. For what we can tell, he has been there for quite some time, but that's not important; what is important is that we know where he is."

"Quick question, Miss Louise: where are you getting this information? We were told and read it in the file we received from our manager. Anyone who approaches him is in for a violent, brutal end."

"I'm glad you asked Mr. Sasaki this information comes from one of our agents from another branch who were passing by that town while he was on a cross-country vacation." Louie's informed.

"Another quick question for you, ma'am. The agent who was on vacation who spotted this no good varmint. Is he still alive or did he meet his end by him?" Kazue asked eagerly and concernedly.

"I can clarify that he's alive and well." Louie's answer immediately surprised them.

"Well, this guy is extremely lucky to have walked away from that punk." Kazue set an impressed tone as Louie nodded in agreement.

"Once he reported in to our branch the manager of this branch was the first to get a hold of him he recommended the agent at the time to evacuate and leave the town immediately, knowing how dangerous this one is, but that's not all." Louis stated as she opened the second file.

"Right before the agent left, he provided us with great Intel on our Target, which I believe should be proven to be quite useful and will make your search less painful." As she handed it to our duo, the file contained various locations of the town; it listed the places Aoki likes, to either visit or hang out, and so forth it even listed the places where he's been staying at.

"Thank you, ma'am. We'll make sure to put it to good use." Kazue said as he closed the file and put it in his jacket.

"You're welcome, gentlemen. But before you leave, I do have a message from the manager. I'm well aware that your manager of your branch told you to take the assignment and bring Aoki in, including asking the two of you to retrieve certain data that he has in his possession. The manager wishes that you put that as your top priority." Louis informed intensely.

"I hope I'm not intruding; if I may ask, Miss Louise. What does it look like, and what is its purpose? Doesn't it have an anagram code name? Or does this data have certain projects that aren't supposed to be seen by anyone?" Keiji asked.

"I'm blind on the details myself as well one thing I've been told by the manager the data you're looking for it is all stored in a blue metal flash drive with our company logo and a standard company laptop that's all I know." Louise informed Kazue let out a sigh of annoyance.

"All right, it was all right with you. We will go look for this varmint place. And we were rated, and we will retrieve that metal blue flash drive first. After that, we'll hunt down that no-good varmint; it shouldn't be too hard. I busted into someone else's home before." Kazue said nonchalantly on the last statement. Louise couldn't help but giggle at his tone. Keiji just looked at his partner with a nervous expression.

"Funny thing you should mention about that Mr. Kobayashi. I was about to recommend you and your partner to raid his base first, but you beat me to the punch. Anywho, let's get you gentlemen ready for your mission. But first, do you gentlemen have any other questions?" Louie asked enthusiastically.

"Royal Woods what is it like? Are there things we should know about, and is it neutral? Is it controlled by us, or is the town controlled by the F-Fangres?" Keiji asked nervously.

"There's not much to say about the town. It's your typical small town. Nothing much happens to it, well, except there was one incident at the town's mall. Some of our agents that were there gathering intel for specific reasons discreetly reported in that a fangre attacked a woman, then a strange bird attacked the fangre, and a guy in magenta armor destroyed the fangre." Louie's informed.

"Wait a minute, you must be pulling our legs. Ma'am, a guy and a bird took down one of those life-sucking you expected to believe that tall tale." Kazue said in unconvinced tone.

"Mr Kobayashi, I insure you that I don't joke around when we're in the midst of business talk. Also, I am not known for my sense of humor." Louise said with a serious tone that frightened the men in the room.

"If that's the case, how come your branch didn't make an announcement about it? I think two individuals who defeated a Fangres should be an important announcement to all companies branches to be aware of." Keiji stated.

"Well, for one, the manager didn't want to announce a possible new threat among us. He wanted to gather as much intelligence on this individual and his bird before announcing it to the other branches. That's all." Louie's informed as she got out from her chair and head for the door.

"Now without any further delay let's get your mission started gentleman follow me." Louie said that she exited and are duo followed her.

Elsewhere back at Royal Woods, we see a gray beat up car parked by the gas pumps, at flips food and fuel emerging out of the building is the infamous agent named Aoki, who looked a bit sloppy and untamed and his left hand is a plastic bag filled with stuff.

"Another day, another annoying thing in my life." Aoki commented as he headed for his car at the end of the row. Inside, the car was littered with trash of all kinds, including dirty laundry. He set his bag on the empty seat of a car, then dug his hand into the bag and pulled out what appeared to be a scratcher lottery ticket as he's about to scratch it a loud grumbling noise got its attention that growling noise came from his own stomach.

"May as well get something to eat; I probably should have bought something while I was at that store, but yet again I know that Flip guy is shady. I ain't buying anything from that store. Which only leaves one option the burpin' burger?" He said in a lazily tone as he starts his car then he pulled out his phone and glares at it.

"And once I'm finished with lunch, I will get rid of that rude annoyance!" He growled intensely in his phone, which showed the image of none other than the eldest daughter of the Loud family, Lori.

Back at the Loud house.

We find Rey sitting at the dining table with three bottles of red, yellow, black, and gray paint, along with an exacto knife, a pair of nippers, and a model kit of RX-78-2 Gundam. So far, he has everything completed and assembled with the except of the head.

"While the head remains incomplete, I have to say that everything seems to be in perfect order: the arms appear to be well put together, no seam lines along with a torso, the legs and the skirt, even its feet. I'm happy with how the beam rifle came out, including its shield and the beam saber handles are perfectly molded. Along the backpack and thrusters got to say this looks excellent. And there are no parts of the plastic so no signs of damage or chips from using my knife; I can safely say that I still got it!" Rey said with great excitement accomplishment he is proud on how his model kit came out minus the head part but nonetheless then suddenly a loud whistle could be heard inside his head so brought him out of his sense of excitement.

'Not too shabby boss it look great!' Onibi exclaim excitedly at his trainers work.

'It's a little too soon for celebrations, Onibi. While it is impressive how it looks, it still remains incomplete. Let's save the compliment until the full product is fully assembled.' Ryusei said calmly, but secretly he was impressed by his trainer's model-building skills.

'Come on, Rey! Finish the head so we can see the beautiful machine you built. If I'm so bold as to say this to you, Rey, you are impressive. You have a talent for model building.' Edgar complimented Rey, who blushed and scratch his head as he picked up the red part of the Gundam's head. Then he picked up a pair of tweezers and removed a reflective sticker and putting it where the eyes will go then he sets down and pick up a clear yellow part.

"Oh, come on! I'm not that talented, Edgar. This isn't even my best work. You should see my other Gundam models; they're not my finest work, but they're a lot better than what I'm doing right now." Rey comments as he opens a bottle of quick-drying black matte paint and picks up a detailed brush.

"This is just a test to see if I'm not going to rust. Being stuck in your guys' world for an entire year would cause someone to lose their skills they require over the years, and so far I haven't made any mistakes not yet anyway." Rey states as he coats the yellow piece entirely in black matte paint, then he sets it down to let it dry.

Then he proceeds to clean the tip of his brush, dipping it in black paint. He then grabs the white part of the Gundam's head and starts filling the vents on both sides with black paint. Next, he moves on to the Vulcan guns on the right and left sides of the head, painting them yellow carefully, making sure each side is done before moving on to the other.

With both Vulcan guns, now painted, he moves on to the other headpiece like always. He cleans the tip of the brush, then dips his brush in the red paint. Then he proceeds to paint the other end of the sensor camera red. With that done, he sets both pieces aside. Then he moves to assemble the face. He picks up the red piece where he places the reflective sticker. Then he picks up the black-coated yellow piece and puts it where the reflective sticker is. Next, he grabs a toothpick and slowly scrapes the painted eyes, gently. Once he removes the black paint from both eyes he proceeds to put on the mouthpiece of the Gundam with little effort when that done he grabs both head pieces and puts it together with the red piece and add to the final touches he places the V-fin in on it and the final step to complete the model he puts the head on the body.

"There we go; everything is in its place. No damages, no loose ends. I really still got it." Rey said with a confident and proud smirk.

'Just to be clear, I don't care about this Gundam stuff, but I have to admit that with his head on it, it looks pretty cool, and I'm willing to admit that you really do have talent for building these things.' Kestrel said in a reluctant tone, and Rey just scratched his head nervously before replying.

"I appreciate your begrudging compliment Kestrel but again I don't think it's all that great like I said before and does not even one of my best works just did it to be sure I'm not Rusty." Rey common as he stares at his completed Gunpla proudly.

'Don't be so modest, dear. You may see it as a mere test, and you claim this isn't your best work, but I personally feel your heart and soul poured into it. I personally think it's wonderful just the way it is. Who would have guessed that you're quite a detail-oriented builder.' Kaori said proud and complimenting tone.

"The master, certainly Kaori, had no idea he had other skills besides training, cooking, reading. You're full of surprises, aren't you? Makes me feel proud that you are my trainer." Meni said probably Rey simply says nothing he gets up from the table pick up his model and heads to the living room.

'Hey boss what are you doing?' Onibi asked.

"Well, when I finish building a Gundam, I always put it on display on a shelf in my room to admire and look at it. Since I don't have my own room or a shelf in this house, I'll make do by putting it on the fireplace in the living room, which serves as my temporary sleeping quarters." Rey stated as he put his completed model on the fireplace in the living room.

'Are you sure that's a good idea to display it in the living room boss what would happen when those kids initiate their typical brawl and destroy your hard work in the process I'm sorry I suggest you put it somewhere else safe so I won't be destroyed I'm not usually the one for cautious boss but I think you should put it away for safekeeping just in case' Onibi said concernely.

'I have to agree with our laid-back fire weasel boss, the kids in this house aren't known for their subtlety or safety, including that mad kid genius Lisa.' Kestrel says dangerously ominously.

"Same here: those kids are dangerous and careless. Your model, well likely get caught up in their petty squabbles when it happens." Both Edgar and Ryūsei stated.

'As much as I find all the children in the house endearing and quirky, they are a time bomb waiting to happen if any one of them gets angry for any reason. All of them would get pulled into a full brawl if that were to happen. You're Gundam to will get caught in the crossfireI in the process it will be destroyed and I would be very heartbroken to see your hard work go to waste!' Kaori said dramatically.

'I too agree with Kaori master I think it's best that you put away that Gundam for the time being as a safety measure.' Meni said it coming and logical tone.

"You know y'all make a good point." Rey agreed with his Pokemon's concerns. He picked up his model from the fireplace, headed back into the table, placed his model inside its box, and proceeded to head back into the living room and put it underneath the couch.

"There we go all safe for now." Rey said then out of nowhere a small grumbling noise came from his stomach.

"You know every time whenever I build or finish a model I always get hungry." Ray said as he scratches his head in embarrassment.

"I guess this is a good time to make a snack but first." Ray said that he rushes up the stairs of the house he quickly turns turn left and heads to the second door on his left and that door belongs to room of Lori and Leni he knocks the door three times a loud frustrating growl of Lori could be heard.

"Who is it!?" Lori exclaimed.

"It's me Lori can I ask you a question?" Rey ask politely Lori rudely scoffs.

"What do you want geek?!" She asked hostile rude.

"How very rude of you anyways I'm about to make myself a snack and I was wondering if you want some too?"

"Sure what kind of snack you're making?" Lori asked curiously.

"A simple fruit salad do you want some or you're good?" Rey ask politely.

"Sure I could literally go for snack."

"Excellent I'll get started immediately." Rey said as he heisley heads downstairs towards the kitchen.

Elsewhere out of Royal Wood, we see a black pickup truck coming into town. driving the truck is Kazue in the front of the wheel driving in the passenger seat is Keiji looking a bit annoyed.

And for the reason of this annoyed demeanor, as they get ready to leave for their destination on their assignment, Louise offers them a mode of transportation: She asks if they need a driver to escort them to the town or if they'll be driving themselves to their destination. Kazue showed his license, Louise immediately assumed that he'll insist on driving himself and his partner to their destinations. So, she leads them to their facility, which houses vehicles for agents to rent out. The selection of vehicles is plentiful, but Kazue quickly picks out a vehicle for them. It happens to be a pickup truck. Upon seeing the look on his face, Louise immediately hands him the keys much to the annoyance Keiji.

"I can't believe you picked a truck instead of a simple, nice car. What is it with you and Texans and trucks?!" He asked annoyingly.

"It's a Texas thing partner." Kazue replied.

"Of course you would say that, senpai." Keiji face-palmed in sheer annoyance at his response suddenly I don't know where a loud grumbling noise came from him the source was of his stomach Keiji then and another loud grumbling noise came from Kazue.

"Excellent I'll get started immediately." Rey said as he heisley heads towards the .

"Well, we skipped breakfast. Lucky for us, we're already in town. How about getting burgers? Since it's almost getting close to lunch time."

"Sure, why not? A hamburger does sound pretty good right about now, senpai." Keiji commented.

"Look up any burger restaurants are in town."

"I already on it." Keiji said as he already phone looking for what they need after a brief silence he found what he's looking for.

"We're in luck there's a place called The burpin' Burger that's not too far from here we can stop there for our brunch." Keiji said.

"Then it's settled, as we're already close to the restaurant." Kazue stated, prompting Keiji to look away from his phone and notice they were close to the entrance of the burger restaurant.

"Wow that is very convenient senpai." Keiji said as he's about to make another comment he noticed something in one of the parking spots there is a gray beat up car in one of them for some reason he feels there is something familiar about it but he's strong enough and just pays no attention to it.

But before Kazue could park the truck something unexpected happened their target Aoki exit out of the restaurant and entered his car the duo stared on in shock on who they just witness.

"Senpai, is that who I think it is?" Keiji asked in a state of shock and confusion, wondering if he was seeing things.

"Yep, there's no doubt about it. Partner, it's him!" Kazue glared menacingly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but before they could do anything.

Aoki started his car and began driving very fast, almost causing a traffic accident, as he drove out of the restaurant.

"We can't miss an opportunity like this senpai we must go after him!" Keiji exclaimed.

"You're right. The burgers can wait. Let's tail this varmint!" Kazue stated as he cautiously drove out of the restaurant's parking lot and began to follow the target at a modest speed, maintaining distance so they wouldn't be spotted.

---

Back at the Loud House, we see Rey knocking at the door to Lori and Leni's room. Lori sighs in annoyance.

"What do you want now, geek?!" She asked, in another annoyed tone Rey roll his eyes at her tone.

"I have made you a fruit salad like I promise Lori." He said as he presented her a simple cup of fruit inside the cup showed cut pieces of pineapple Apple grapes along with a fork stabbed in the pieces of fruit.

"Thanks I literally appreciate it." Lori thank them and took the fruit from his hand.

"You're welcome enjoy your snack Lori." Rey said every heads back downstairs to the living room.

'You know, despite being rude towards you, at least she thanked you for your generosity, Master. But if Lori continues to talk to you in that tone, I will personally torment her mentally!' Meni stated dangerously, which spooked all the Pokemon while Rey remained unfazed by her sudden threat towards Lori.

"Please refrain from threatening Lori Meni. She's going through unnecessary behavioral and attitude problems, but she'll get through them and hopefully become a better person in the long run." Rey says this in a hopeful, optimistic tone, as he is already aware of her growth in the future.

"Although she may experience minor regressions from time to time, and it's likely she'll make mistakes in the future, no one's perfect, not even me." Rey shrugs and takes a seat on the couch, picking up the fruit cup on the table.

Meanwhile

Outside the house, Aoki's car is parked outside the house. Aoki turns off his car and takes a moment to stare at the house.

"There it is the home that girl that rude annoying girl." Aoki growled as he turned away from the house. He digs in one of his pockets and pulls out a coin.

"All right heads I kick down the door with brute force, storm in, and get the girl to my hideout. Or tails I transform and surprise her by jumping through her bedroom window and take her to my hideout." Aoki says as he flips the coin. Aoki catches the coin upon looking at it and lands on tails.

"Jumping through a window, it's then." He says casually as he gets out of his car, not too far away from him. We see our Duo steadily observing their target they are parked at one of the sidewalks far away from the house.

"I wonder what he's doing in this neighborhood and what his business is at that specific house?" Keiji asked curiously.

"I don't know partner, but one thing's for sure: I know the look on his face. He's about to transform." Kazue said dangerously right on cue. Aoki transformed into his sloth orphnoch form and jumped through the window of the top floor of the house.

Inside the house, Rey was enjoying his fruit salad when Lori let out a loud screech that startled everyone. Everyone became concerned and worried.

'That sounds like Lori, sir!' Ryusei exclaimed in a worried tone, suddenly the gorilla can-droid jumped out of his jacket and automatically transformed and it rotated its arms frantically. Rey saw its eyes grow blue and it pointed upstairs.

"Oh no!" Knowing what this means, he immediately rushed upstairs, not bothering to be subtle. Rey broke the door down to the older girls' room; he gasped and saw the sloth Orphnoch in their room, holding Lori on his shoulders. Seeing that he got caught, he immediately exited where he came from. Rey rushed towards the assailant who had Lori.

Upon landing safely, he immediately transformed back to his human form in a hurry. He rushed to his car, opened the door, and threw Lori in there. Then he got into the passenger seat and drove off as fast as he could. Rey tried to land epicly but ended up falling flaton his face.

"Dang it, I can never get that right!" Rey growled in annoyance and immediately got up, he sees that Aoki car was already far away to follow him so he immediately grab the luxury ball on his belt.

"Kestrel after that car!" Rey ordered as he throws her pokéball in the air Kestrel emerge from her pokeball with a serious look.

"Leave it to me boss!" Kestrel shouted as she proceeds to follow the car she spotted.

Rey grabbing his driver out of his jacket and placing it on. He then immediately rush back into the house.

Back with our duo Kazue and Keiji observed everything from there spot Keiji kept his eyes on Kestrel observing her movements very carefully.

"Do you have a vision on the bird partner?" Kazue asked Keiji response back what a thumbs up.

"All right then keep your eyes on the Birdy partner we're going to follow it too that varmint!" Kazue exclaimed and immediately took action; he drove up close to the house, turned into the house's garage, backed up a little bit, then turned the truck and sped up after Kestrel.

Kestrel have managed to catch up with the car she was ordered to follow, flying at a similar speed to the vehicle. After moments of flight, the car reached its destination. The car had arrived at an abandoned seafood-themed restaurant. The restaurant had one thing that stood out: it had a large ornament of a large fish on the roof of the restaurant and the name of said restaurant is "Something Fishy".

"Something fishy? What a dumb name for a restaurant." Kestrel scoffed, trying to hold in a laugh or two. She quickly shook it off and stared back at the car, noticing Aoki emerge from the car. He proceeded to pull Lori out and head toward the back end of the abandoned restaurant.

"As much as I like to kick that guy's butt for kidnapping gassy girl I better inform the boss where gassy girl is." Kestrel States as she flies back to her trainer as soon as possible as she flew back our Duo arrived at they've been in restaurant Keiji was quick to notice Kestrel flying back where she came from.

"Senpai, look! The strange bird is flying back where it came from. Do you think it's going back to that boy at the house?"

"Don't worry about it, partner. It ain't our problem, besides we have bigger fish to fry (pun intended). But look." Kazue pointed where Aoki's car was.

---

Inside the abandoned restaurant, we see Lori unconscious, tied to a chair with a rope and duct tape. Aoki looks at her with an expression of annoyance and disappointment. At her current state, when suddenly, Lori began to regain consciousness. Once her eyes were fully open, she began to look around, frantically, confused, wondering where she was and looked down. She noticed that she was tied to a chair. A lot of questions began to circle in her head. Suddenly.

"Ah, you're finally awake." Lori's attention shifted to the direction where the voice came from. Upon gazing at Aoki, she felt an unsettling sensation of fear towards him.

"I was starting to worry that I may have knocked you out. Hard. But I'm glad I didn't." He said as you lean closer to Lori.

"Who are you? And where am I?!" Lori asked in a frightened tone.

"I'm not too surprised you don't know me. In fact, every time you stare at the phone, you never seem to notice me. But perhaps you may recognize this." Aoki set a dangerous tone as he transformed into his Orphnoch form Lori let out terrified scream.

"You're the monster that jumped through window and attack me!" Lori shouted in fear.

"Wow, state the obvious, why don't you?" He said in a snarky manner.

"Well, it warms my heart that you at least remembered your assailant, even though this is not the first time we have met, Lori Marie Loud." Aoki said dangerously, which disturbed Lori. What disturbed her was the fact that this monster knew her full name.

"H-how do you know my name? And what do you mean it's not the f-first time we've met?" Lori asks, as she frightenedly stuttering.

"Well, I'm not surprised you don't remember me. Most of the time when you were in public, you were either watching one of your siblings or on your stupid phone talking to your mediocre boyfriend. Which reminds me." Aoki pulled out her phone then crusted in his hands Lori gasp in horror at Aoki's actions.

"My phone! You monster! Why did you do that-" as Laura was about to finish her sentence she was suddenly struck by Aoki

"Oh, quit complaining. It's just a piece of hardware technology that can easily be replaced!" He snarled as he kneels down and lifts Lori up by her hair viciously then glared straightly in her eyes.

"You know, what's the one thing I find annoying about you teenagers these days?" Aoki dropped Lori to the floor and pressed his foot on her stomach aggressively.

"You are all distracted by your cellular devices, obsessed with personal images on social media. So obsessed that none of you pay attention to the little guy or the big guy you keep bumping into!" He stated aggressively as he continued pressing his foot on her stomach Lori gasped for breath until he released his foot and knelt down to her.

"But that's not what you want to know or hear, right? I'll tell you everything since you're about to leave this world." Before he continued, he once again lifted up Lori by her hair and looked at her dangerously as she was gasping for breath.

"You see, I came to this town to lay low and hide from some very powerful people who want my height. If you're wondering who these people are, I'm not telling you; you're not important enough to know who they are. Anyways." Aoki continued.

"When I first arrived in this town, my first stop was to visit the local mall to buy some clothes and get some food. While you were talking with some of your friends whom I assumed to be your friends, you unintentionally bumped into me. Instead of apologizing like a normal person, you said?" He asked before Lori could answer. Then, he punched her in the gut.

"You scoffed and told me. "Watch where you're going." Very rude of you!" Aoki exclaims as he dropped Lori was once again she gasping for air.

"After that day when we first met, I began to look into you personally, and I have to say you're a real insecure bitch. Lori!" Aoki said venomously with a disgusted tone as he summons his claws.

"While I don't care for other people, but I have to say what you did to your dim-witted, but sweet sister Leni was absolutely the most despicable and pathetic. Sabotaging her driver's licensing test is just messed up. And that's not all; threatening your little brother to go on a double date with you just to apologize to a girl he doesn't like is pathetic!" Aoki shouted as he swung his right claw directly at Lori, who was flown across the restaurant in the process. Her restraints in the chair she was tied to ripped and broke in the process.

"H-how do you know that?" Lori asks as she tries to get up, but she stumbles over as she falls to the floor she feels her entire body in pain Aoki proceeds to walk towards her Lori tries to scamper away but she's too much in pain to do so.

"Like I said, Lori, I've look into you, I know more about you than you realize!" Aoki viciously grabs Lori by her neck and lifts her up.

---

Outside of the restaurant.

We find our duo at the car of Aoki they are rummaging through It they figured while. he was distracted with Lori they would take this chance to search his car to find the missing information that is in the possession of of Aoki.

"Ugh! The inside of his car is disgusting! I mean, seriously! How could anyone live in this condition?!" Keiji question as he looks at the mess within the car.

"His car is filled with nothing but dirty clothes trash of all kinds even unfinished foods oh my God some of this stuff has mold on them! Ugh, I feel so dirty!" Keiji Gagged.

"Hang in there, partner. I know his car is a complete dump, but we can do this!" Kazue set in a motivated tone as he rummaged through a bit more. He found what he was looking for: a blue metal flash drive, which had the company logo on it. Along with a laptop, unable to contain his excitement. Kazue quickly grabbed the items and showed them to his partner.

"Hey Keiji, I found a blue flash drive in a laptop just like Louie described!"

"Oh, thank goodness you found it quickly, senpai! I don't think I could stomach any more of this." Keiji let out a sigh relief.

"Now with objective one complete, let's upper hand that no good varmint and hopefully save the girl!" Kazue stated while in some circumstances when you work for smart brain if any human that is spotted by Orphnochs they are to be terminated but are duo or completely against that rule they don't share the same this hatred for humans while they were searching for their objective they may have meant to know that they find it in time they'll prioritize capturing the Target and saving Lori.

Right as the Duo was about to march into that restaurant to complete their objectives, they heard the the roar of an engine of a motorcycle driving by. They quick hide on the other side of the car.

Getting off the bike was Rey with his driver on and above him is Kestrel.

"Here we are boss this is where Lori is being kept." Kestrel informed Rey stairs at the restaurant intently.

'Something fishy. This will be the place where Lynn Sr. will open up his restaurant. I'll try to keep the damage minimal to this place.' Rey said, directing his attention to Kestrel and takes out her pokeball.

"Thank you, Kestrel now return." He said as he calls her back into her pokeball and put it away next he went back to his bike press a button on it and transform it into its lockseed mode and put it in one of his pockets is jacket.

"Now, without further ado, time to put on my power suits." Rey stated as he pulled out his transformation card and inserted it into his driver.

"Henshin!" He shouted and closed his driver.

KAMEN RIDE: DECADE

In an instant, he had transformed into his Rider form.

His transformation went unnoticed both the Keiji what speech is what he just witness Kazue meanwhile just stared at Rey with great interest.

'Kamen Rider that kids belt said Kamen Rider is he really one of them?' Kazue questions.

Before Decade entered the abandoned restaurant. Decade took two Poke Balls from his belt and threw them into the air.

"Kaori Meni I need your assistance!" An instant two of his Pokemon emerge for their pokeball looking serious and ready.

"Do you two ladies know what to do?"

"Yes, master. Our main objective is to treat and protect Lori while you deal with that Orphnoch personally. I think you'll be wasting your time protecting a rude child like her, but I'm not here to question your decisions." Meni replied.

"Same here as well, dearie. Although I still have some minor grudges against her at how she talked to you today. But we will save our issues for another time. Right now that poor girl needs our help and I dare not think of anything bad happening to her." Kaori said warringly.

"All right ladies let's go." Decade ordered as he ran to the back of the restaurant with his Pokemon.

Once Decade and his Pokemon disappeared into thin air, our Duo emerged from their hiding spot, needless to say, it was a very unexpected turn of events. What they just witnessed has left many questions running through their heads right now.

"Well, that was unexpected." Keiji commented.

"That's putting it mildly partner."

"So, uh, what should we do Senpai? Should we proceed and report this to The Detroit branch?" Keiji asked.

"Nothing right now. I'm curious about this guy. Let's see and watch what he's capable of once we see things we can do and put that form it down we'll jump in. And while we're at it we'll leave what happened with this young girl a secret. I don't want any more innocent folks getting involved in our nonsense." Kazue says as he crunches down and moves slowly towards the front window of you been in restaurant. Keiji responds with a single nod to the head. He feels the same way as his partner. He doesn't really like it when innocent people unintentionally get involved in their nonsense.

---

Inside a restaurant, we see Decade in his Pokémon entering from the back entrance. The back entrance led to a very large area, and we saw various utensils and other cooking supplies. This could be the kitchen. Decade took out his Ride Booker and transformed it into its gun mode. He and his Pokémon went slowly and quietly.

"Meni, I need you to sense what's going on behind the store. Can you confirm if Lori is still okay?" Meni nodded and closed her eyes to get a sense of what was happening with Lori.

"Master, she's right behind this room. She is alive for now, but I can feel that her body is in immense pain and the Orphnoch is aggressively holding her up by her neck I can sense his hatred frustrations for her I don't know what she did but he is out for her blood it's perfectly murderous." Meni informed very grimly.

"All right thanks for the heads up Meni no more Daily dallying I'm charging in now!" Decade stated as they charged out of the kitchen along with Meni.

Outside of the kitchen, Aoki is still holding Lori by the neck tightly. He contemplates what to do right now: should he finish her off quickly, or continue to beat her? But just before he could come to a decision Decade came in and shot him three times in the back.

Aoki let out a painful groan as he dropped Lori, but before she could hit the ground, she was surrounded by a pink and purple light. Aoki noticed this and looked back to see the one who had shot him.

Standing behind him was Decade, and Meni, who was using psychic energy to hold Lori in place. Decade motioned Meni to take Lori inside the kitchen with Kaori, which she did. Aoki was about to go after Lori, but Decade stopped him by shooting at the floor.

"Don't even think about it, punk. You want her, you have to go through me first!" Decades stated dangerously.

"I don't know who are you?" He snarled. "No one gets in my way. I have some unfinished business with that bitch, and you're not getting in my way!" Aoki growled and charged forward to attack Decade with his claws.

In the kitchen, we see Lori resting her head on Kaori's lap like a pillow. Meni is applying some healing ointment on Lori's body. The first part to be healed was her cheek, then following it up by her stomach, then her neck.

The ointment, which had been applied to her, began to sizzle and bubble, and then in an instant, it fizzled out. All the injuries that she sustained from Aoki; we were healed in an instant.

"Excellent work as always, dear. Now she looks beautiful without a single scratch on her. It's like they were never there to begin with." Kaori says in a motherly voice as she tenderly strokes Lori's hair.

"It was nothing just doing what is right, Kaori." Meni says she shifts her attention to Lori her gaze shifts of one of disappointment and anger.

"Personally, I'm still mad at Lori right now." Meni continued.

"I was expecting her to be more roughed up by that Orphnoch, unfortunately, she only received bruises on her body; a real shame. I was looking forward to saying. That's what you get for upsetting Master." Meni says with a venomous smirk. Kaori let out a sigh.

"Well, if that's the case, I hope and pray that Lori doesn't get on your bad side from this point forward, or does anything to hurt Rey from your perspective. I don't wish for this girl to end up on your list" Kaori says concerningly, then her face turns into a menacing glare.

"Speaking of which, if Lori does upset our trainer or anyone in the foreseeable future, please keep your emotions in check. You have a tendency of going insane when anyone gets on your bad side for hurting either our trainer or our fellow Pokémon. I don't want another incident to occur again. Remember what you did to that trainer in Hearthome City." Kaori said in a menacing and stern tone.

"Hey you know that coordinator had it coming after the insults she threw at Rey and Edgar, especially what she did to Edgar. I will never forgive her. That arrogant, condescending two-faced witch!" Meni exclaimed venomously.

Before she could continue, a soft groan got their attention. That noise came from none other than Lori.

Lori is slowly flicking her eyes open once she fully opens them she has met with the site of Kaori and Meni.

"Oh good afternoon sleepyhead how are you feeling?" Kaori asking in motherly tone.

"Wait I know you you're" As Lori was about to finish her sentence Kaori gently pushed her down on her lap.

"Easy there, sweetie you were a bit banged up but you're fine now you really should think Meni she's pretty good at treating people." Kaori said.

"there is no need to thank me Lori I was just doing what was right." Meni said.

"Now then, I have some questions for you, Lori. Do you know where you are and what you did to get in the Orphnoch's bad side?" Meni asked as she offered her hand to Lori, upon seeing her hand she took it and Meni help her up.

"Orphnoch?" She asked confused.

Kaori was next to get up and took Lori's can and walked her to the door where her trainer is.

"It's the name of the monster that attacked you, sweetie." Kaori explained.

"Our trainer is already taking care of it; see for yourself." Kaori says as she opens the door to show Lori, who sees a Decade who is holding Aoki in a headlock.

"Alright, you overgrown sloth. I demand some answers. Why did you kidnap Lori?! Did some hooded guy ask you to do it?!" Decade ask demandingly as he tighten his grip around Aoki's head.

"Hooded guy? I have no idea what you're talking about, punk. Nobody orders me around and tells me what to do! And as for that girl she is a nuisance and a bitch that must die!" Aoki shouts, as he brakes away from Decades's headlock. He tries to attack with his claws, but Decade immediately blocks them and counters in time with a headbutt stunning him.

Seeing that he was stunned, Decade decided to take advantage of this moment to attack more aggressively, but before he could return to his fight, Decade in the corner of his eye saw Lori sending him into the kitchen door. He said nothing, and waved at them, and they waved back. Decade returned his attention to Aoki, who began his assault. Lori and the Pokemon were watching his fight very intensely; they cringed a little when they saw Decade hit Aoki's groin.

"Well, he certainly has a colorful way of speaking about you. So, again what did you do to get him so angry at you?" Meni ass in a very threatening and demanding tone Lori lets out a sigh.

"This monster is mad at me because I yelled at him." Lori explained in a annoyed tone.

"Wait really? The reason you're after Lori's life is because she yelled at you, talking about petty and a waste of time!" Decade scoffed Aoki was angered by Decade response.

"Oh shut up! If you were in my position, you'd want to get rid of her too! Heck, did you know she sabotaged her own little sister's driving test on purpose. By giving her the wrong answers in her sleep! What do you think of that!" Aoki exclaimed.

Kaori and Meni Gasp in shock in what they just heard from their enemy Kaori slapped Lori in the face and Meni punched her in her left arm.

"How could you do that to your sister!" They both shouted in unison, greatly angered at Lori's past actions. Since they had formed a liking to Leni.

"Hey! It happened literally a long time ago! I apologize to Leni and who do you side are you two on!?" Lori asked in a angered tone.

Before anyone could continue fighting or say anything, suddenly three grenades crashed through the front window of the restaurant. The grenades released a thick white smoke that filled the entire room.

"Oh great! Now what?" Decade exclaims as the smoke surrounds him, his Pokemon, and Lori. Everyone else is questioning what's happening, but Aoki had transformed back into his human form before he could say anything; he was suddenly hit in the back of the head, knocking him out.

Meni closed her eyes and tried to use her psychic abilities to sense anything in the area that might have caused the smoke. She let out a slight gasp.

"Master, I sense two individuals coming this way!" She shouted, hearing this Decade and the preparing himself for whatever was coming while others surrounded Lori in a garden motion.

As the smoke cleared, Decade's Pokemon and Lori are met by individuals coming out of the smoke. It's none other than the arms Dopant; they then see someone on its shoulders. They assume it's the Sloth Orphnoch. Next to the arms is a stag beetle-themed Orphnoch and the stag beetle Orphnoch is none other than Keiji.

"Wait, that can't be a Dopant!" Decade shouted in shock, catching his Pokemon and Lori's attention.

"You know what that thing is next to the Orphnoch master?" Meni asked, confused about what was in front of them.

"Yeah, it's called a Dopant. Very dangerous. Be on your guard!" Decade exclaimed. He's a surprise to see the Dopant in Susan's memories, knowing its capability. He immediately took a defensive position, so did the rest of the Pokémon.

"Whoa there, partner. There no need to get so uppity; we're not here to harm any of y'all. We're just here to pick up that's no good snake of varmint." The Dopant said in a calm, polite manner. Both Decade his Pokémon and Lori were caught off guard by the way he spoke; they couldn't understand it, but they felt like they could trust what he was saying. Decade, on the other hand, while he could trust his words, the way he spoke brought back some familiar memories to him. Call it strange, but he wanted to know where this individual came from, including his stag beetle friend.

"Hey Dopant Orphnoch, I have a question for y'all do y'all happen to be from Texas?" Decade asked bluntly this question caught both of them off guard there was a brief moment of silence the stag beetle looked at arms for a moment then he directed attention to Decade.

"How can you tell?" He asked politely.

"Your arsenal, friend said partner, uppity, y'all, and varmint. I only ever heard those words in Texas and I should know because I'm from Texas." Decade informed this surprise to both Lori and her Pokemon. The arms doppant laughed in pure joyous jubilation.

"Well, I'll be. I never expect to Run into a fellow Texan living in Michigan. To answer your question, yes, we're from Texas; my partner However, isn't. He's from Japan, though he's getting pretty close to becoming a Texan!" on said probably as he slaps his partner's shoulders his partner however scratches his head and embarrassment.

"Anyways, y'all can call me Arms, and this here is my partner; you can call him K so what are y'all's names?" Arms asked politely, normally, Decade was cautious about giving out his name or title to potential enemies, but his gut instincts were telling him that this individual and his partner could be trusted, so he decided to humor them.

"In this armor I'm called Decade over here are my partners Kaori Meni and the girl behind them is Lori pleasure to meet y'all's acquaintances."

"Well it nice to meet every one of y'all. Anyways, I wanna congratulate y'all on managing to knock down this worthless, cruel varmint down a peg." Arms said cheerfully.

"Personally, I would love to see y'all kill him for all that he has done; unfortunately, our employers wants him alive." Arms spoke in a dissatisfied tone about how things turned out; he was disappointed. Everyone else was a little unsettled by his tone, but Decade on the other hand wanted to know why Arms wanted Aoki dead. He figured out that he and his partner worked for Smart Brain when he referred to their employer.

"Wow, judging by your tone of voice, he must be a real piece of work then." Decade commented.

"Ya ain't know the half of it!" The two of them setting unison Arms directed his attention towards Lori; she felt very nervous and scared as he looked at her.

"Young lady, we're both grateful to see you all right I hope there's no good farmers in roughly up too bad." Arms said.

"I'm literally fine don't worry I got hit worse by my sisters." Lori said.

"I hate to cut this chit-chat short, senpai, but we must report back to our employers, letting them know that our mission is complete and delivering an important package." K informed Arms nodded his head in acknowledgement and returned his attention to Decade, his Pokémon, and Lori.

"Well, this was a fun chat we had. Me and my partner must be going. Oh, and before I forget, Decade make sure the little lady gets home safely. Okay" I'm sad as he's about to head to the restaurants entrance.

"Wait!" Decade shouts causing them to stop.

"Arms K. I know what you guys are and I know who you work for, and if my gut instinct is right, I know you'll report back to your superiors about everything that's happened. If you do, please don't mention Lori in any of your reports. I don't care if you mention me; however, she's an innocent in all this. She doesn't need to get involved with the darkness that hides in this world. Please. I know I'm asking a lot but-"

"Take it easy, Decade. We're not going to say anything to our superiors about your friend or you or your other lady friends our priorities were to upper hand is no good varmint on my shoulders. That's all. So don't worry; we have your word. We won't say anything. We promise." Decade let out a sigh of relief as did the Pokemon Lori was confused about what they were talking about, but she decided not to think about it, whatever they were talking about must be pretty, so she wouldn't ask anything more on this point.

"Well, without any further ado, so long y'all." Arm stayed as a lift his left arm his left arm morphed into a grenade launcher he fired a single grenade into the air I fell on the ground the grenade activated it released a powerful flash Decade his Pokemon and Lori averted their eyes so they won't be blinded by the intense light. it took a couple of seconds at the light died down decade was the first to recover he notices that Arms and K are gone.

"It's okay, y'all. You can open your eyes now." Decade said. Lori Kaori and Meni opened their eyes, noticing that Arms and K had gone.

"Well those two made in dramatic exit didn't they." Kaori said.

"Indeed sister." Meni commented she turned to gaze at her trainer.

"Master, I believe it's time we took our leave and called it a day. I'm fairly exhausted, and I'm pretty sure Kaori is too." Meni stated.

"I see your point. Today has been a little bit interesting. Yeah, it's time for you two to get some rest." They said as he brought out their pokeballs and called them back into them decade puts their balls back on his belt then he takes out a card from his ridebooker then he insert the card into his driver.

ATTACK RIDE:

"Hey Lori." Decade called her as she's picking up her destroyed phone.

"What is a Decade?" Lori asked.

"What's that there you got?" He asked curiously.

"That monster attacked me, destroying my phone. It'll literally take forever to get a new one." Lori said in a sad tone. Decade is well aware of how important that phone is to her, mainly because she used to talk to her boyfriend and he gets a feeling that Bobby is extremely worried about her since she's not contacting him back.

"I see I'm sorry to hear that." Decade said in a sympathetic tone.

"Well, I just wanted to say it's nice to see you again and just to give you a head start. Don't be mad. I'm about to do something, and I want you to hold your breath."

"Wait hold my breath what are you-" As she's about to finish Decade scoops are up and closes the driver.

CLOCK UP

In an instant, everything starts to move slowly. Decades run out of the restaurant as fast as he can with Lori.

Outside the restaurant, we see our Duo still in their monster forms. The reason they're still in their monster form is because they're currently trying to restrain Aoki. Moments after they left the restaurant, Aoki immediately regained consciousness and tried to make a run for it, but our duo are trying to restrain him.

"I got to pin down senpai." K stated as he reverted back to his human form As Keiji.

"Excellent partner keep keep him restrained." Arms said as he took off his Gaia driver reverting back to his human form.

"Long time no see, old friend! How are you doing?" Kazue put on a pair of sunglasses and handed one to Keiji as well.

"Screw you!" He shouted.

"Yeah, I miss you too." he says sarcastically. He pulls out a strange silver cylinder the size of a pen.

"Now say cheese." Kazue says as he hits the button on the side, a blinding white flashes in front of their target. In an instant, Aoki is left unconscious. Kauze motions Keiji to let go with him.

Kazue put away the strange pen then proceeds to pick up the unconscious Aoki he and Keiji proceed to head back to their truck.

"Hey senpai, what was that thing that you flashed at Aoki?" He asked curiously.

"Oh before we left one of the guys at the tech and science division gave me a new device to test out for them." Kazue answered that he pulls out the device he used.

"They call it the neuralyzer. Apparently, one of them got the idea for the device from a movie called 'Men in Black.' This little thing has the power to erase someone's memories within 24 hours." Kazue explained as they arrived at the truck. Kazue opened one of the extra doors on the truck and threw Aoki into a passenger seat, doing so aggressively. He then closed the door and entered the driver's seat, along with Keiji.

"Ugh, finally all done. Say, partner. Do you still want to get some burgers?" Kazue asked.

"Of course we heaven ate anything all day so let's get going."

"All right then burgers here we come!" Kazue exclaimed how he starts the truck and heads to the burpin' burger.

Elsewhere, we find Decade running back to The Loud House at full speed with Lori. Decade sees his destination and just in time.

CLOCK OVER

Decade stops Lori release a sigh of relief as Decade gently puts her down.

"Well, this is your stop, Lori. Sorry for something picking you up at full speed." Decade apologized.

"It's fine, but next time if something like this happens, let me know in advance." Lori stated.

"I promise oh and by the way before I go I want you to keep what happened here just between you and me. The Orphnoch are dangerous and they will not hesitate to eliminate you or your loved ones if you pose any threat to them or reveal information about their existence for the safety of yourself and your family and other loved ones. Don't ever mention them. Got it!" Lori replied back with a single head nod, indicating that she understands and won't say anything.

"Excellent, oh, and by the way, before I go, I must inform you that your friend Rey is worried about you let him know that you're safe. That's all I have to say. See you later, Lori." Decade said as he pulled out another card and inserted it into his driver.

ATTACK RIDE: INVISIBLE

As his body became fully invisible, he immediately leapt over the house, landing in the backyard. He checked his surroundings, everything seemed to be clear from his part. Then he proceeded to enter the house via the back door entrance that led to the kitchen. Once he was inside the kitchen, he transformed back into his civilian form.

'Alright, time to put on my distraught face I hope she doesn't question too much about things around here.' Ray said in his thoughts as he exit out of the kitchen right on cue Lori came in who appears to be deep and thought about something.

"Lori!" Rey exclaimed as he went to greet her Lori is brought out of her deep thought once she sees Rey coming towards her and hugged her which caught her off by surprise.

"Thank goodness you're alright. I heard you scream. I went after the guy that kidnapped you. But I wasn't fast enough. While I was searching for you, I ran into Decade. I told him what happened. He told me he'll handle it and and told me to wait back at this house. And-"

"Rey... please let go... you're crushing me." Lori informed she can feel great crushing her embarrassing immediately let her go.

"Oh dear, I am so sorry I was just really worried about you." Rey apologized as Lori was yet again gasping for air.

"Well, anyway, the important thing is that you're back home safe and sound. You don't seem to have suffered any physical trauma, so I'll just leave you alone for now. If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen." Rey says this and then heads back into the kitchen.

Once he's in the kitchen, he just pulls out his phone and dials the number of the individual he has contact with.

Rey wait a couple of seconds before someone finally picked up.

*Hi Ray, this is an interesting change. Not calling you through video chat this time. Not that I don't mind it though. So, how can I help you with, or you just want to talk to me because you're bored?*

"Hey Claire, nothing really going on right now. I just need to ask for your permission on something." Rey said nervously.

*What do you need to ask? Whatever it is, I don't mind it or be upset if you ask. Just tell me what you need of me, dear.*

"Alright, I'll be blunt. Earlier today some stuff happened that I can't go over right now. Point matter is that Lori was involved and in the process her phone got destroyed and I was wondering, with your permission, If I can give her the phone that you gave me in one of the packages today." he said his explanation he waited for Claire's response what seem like minutes if only got.

*Alright, sure, go ahead. I don't mind But I have a different idea in mind. How about instead of you giving your phone to her, I can make her a new one instead.*

"Maybe personally I have been in her shoes once, I know what it's like having your personal item destroyed by pettiness; I can't help but feel bad." Rey tells something about himself.

"Whether she deserves it or not, doesn't matter. The girl's been through enough, and I just want to cut her some slack for now." Rey says neutrally as he looks to the refrigerator an idea came to him when spots chicken.

"You know I know I'm going to make today I just hope we have enough chicken and rice to go around for everyone." Rey says as he gathers The things he needs to cook.

back at the Detroit branch

"Maybe personally I have been in her shoes once, I know what it's like having your personal item destroyed by pettiness; I can't help but feel bad." Rey tells something about himself.

"Whether she deserves it or not, doesn't matter. The girl's been through enough, and I just want to cut her some slack for now." Rey says neutrally

anyways let's just put this day behind us move on from it and focus on making disrupting into a positive day and I know exactly what I'm making tonight.

"Well, when you put it like that, it does. All right. I'll take your suggestion instead. Thank you. I hope she'll like her new phone better. And while we're at it, if I'm not asking too much, do you think you can transfer any surviving data from her old phone to the new one about to give her? And is it okay if I get a golf-themed phone case for her?" Rey asked Claire hopefully he doesn't sound too demanding Claire couldn't help but giggle at Rey nervous tone for these requests.

*Consider it all done. By the way, hold out your hands, dear.*

Rey did as Claire told in an instant the phone that Claire game appeared his hands along with the phone case.

"Incredible. Like always, you work fast. Thanks, Claire. I'll be sure to give this to Lori." Rey that gratefully tone and Manor.

*Don't mention it, dear. Anyways, I do want to know what transpired today in your life. I get the feeling something big happened today. And you don't usually make requests like this unless something bad happens or something else. Well, I won't pray into any further. You just have a wonderful day, and I will wait for your call later tonight. Bye!*

Claire ended the call in her usual cheery, peppy, happy manner Rey put away both phones in his jacket and heads to the fridge.

'Master, if it's all right if I ask you a question, why are you going out of your way to give Lori a new phone personally? I don't think she deserves it.' Meni stated.

"Maybe personally I have been in her shoes once, I know what it's like having your personal item destroyed by pettiness; I can't help but feel bad." Rey tells something about himself.

"Whether she deserves it or not, doesn't matter. The girl's been through enough, and I just want to cut her some slack for now." Rey says neutrally as he looks to the refrigerator an idea came to him when spots chicken.

"Thank you manager." Louise thank the manager and hung up the phone she began to type in the password for the matter of seconds the file open within the file it shows three distinct folders they're listed as projects with code names on it the first folders name project Kaiser second project Goliath and third project Azul.

Back at the Detroit branch

We see Kazue and Keiji back in the conference room with Louise, in front of her are the flash drive and laptop they recovered right now Louise is reading a written report by our duo very intently. She sets the report down and looks at our duo proudly.

"Excellent work, gentleman! You have done great work. You have successfully outsmarted our rogue agent while doing that; you also managed to recover our missing data that he had stolen. I'll be sure to tell the manager of your great work, but for now, you two deserve a great deal of rest. Enjoy the rest of your day off." Louise says proudly the duo stood up for their chairs and saluted her.

"Thank you ma'am." They both said the same time and walked out of the conference room.

Seeing the Duo are now gone, Louise opened the laptop and turned it on, as it turned on, it required a password which she immediately typed in since this is a company laptop all company laptops under Smart Brain share the same password which thankfully it it accepted it.

With that done, Louise takes the blue flash drive and inserts it into the laptop immediately, but the file that pops up is password-encoded. She releases a heavy sigh, then takes out her phone and calls contacts. She scrolls for a moment before landing on a specific name: Takiyama.

Louise taps on the name she holds the phone next to her ear within a second the individual with the name picked up.

"Manager Takiyama, this is Louise. I have the recovered items that were retrieved by our Dallas Branch agents. I'm checking the contents of the drive that was stolen with your permission. I require the password to access it to make sure there are no forms of corruption or temperament."

*Permission Grant Louise password Paradise.*

"Thank you, manager." Louise thanked the manager and hung up the phone. She began typing in the password for the matter of seconds when the file opened. Within the file, it showed three distinct folders, which were listed as "Projects" with code names: First folder, Project Kaiser; Second folder, Project Goliath; Third folder, Project Azul.

There we go, all done!

This chapter was a bit of a hassle, being stuck on it for a while was a major headache, but I'm glad I finally finished. I wanted to give a little context for everyone who's reading this. This chapter is based on an old fanfiction chapter idea I had worked on, I hope this chapter was acceptable.

I personally believe this is one of my weaker chapters but I hope everyone enjoyed the new characters I introduced as well as a potential foreshadowing for future events. Don't expect them to play in too soon.

Just a heads-up, everyone: I'm thinking of taking a break from writing nothing too bad is happening in my life. I just want to focus on different projects, but I'll be back by March.

Look for my next chapter in March see y'all next time.
