Akiba stared into the space in front of him. The thought of forcing children to go through that was cruel, but strangely made sense for him. To train a hopeful at a young age can pave the way for it to grow into a powerful individual, but to do so through such malice...

His eyes widened at the sudden realization. Holly's orphanage was a definite target, since this group is hitting anywhere there's kids in it, but what scared- no terrified Akiba was the fact that he knows what kind of child their looking for, and that child lives in Holly's orphanage.

A young little cat-faunus girl from a nomadic tribe mostly filled with faunus, specifically cat faunuses like her. She was seperated from this one day due to huntsmen taking her away when they found her in the area, unknown of her tribe's existence close by. Before she was taken, she was trained at a young age to handle herself, like learning how to cook and laundry, but also fighting and hunting for food. Essentially she was taught to be a literal huntress.

Luckily Akiba found her one day and decided to guide her to Holly's orphanage. The two then on shared a deep connection with each other, as Akiba would visit her during his day offs and the little girl has even acknowledged him as her "father" of sorts.

"She's in danger.", Akiba thought to himself before those thoughts were cut-off by the sound of an alarm. Recognizing the tone he turned his head to his side to see Douglas already taking up the call.

That was when he realized that the whole room went completely silence, save for Douglas. Everyone was watching the man as he takes the call. At firs he acted like the usual loud and expressive Douglas but all of a sudden this stopped. His mouth frowned and his eyes squinted. and before long his whole expression darkened.

Douglas stood still afterwards for a while, then looked at Akiba and without a change of the expression on his face told Akiba.

"Get in the car, everyone.", Douglas' voice bellowed throughout the room and in that moment Akiba knew that something happened. Possibly the very situation he feared of happening.

At first no one in the room seemed to answer, seemingly staying still in their seats as they just looked at the man. A few seconds later Douglas spoke up once again.

"Did I stutter? I said Everyone, Get. In. The. Car. NOW. ", Douglas' voice grew exponentially, and it wasn't long before everyone decided that following the man was probably a good idea.

As everyone rushed out of the mansion to wherever this man's car was, Douglas placed his hand on Akiba's shoulder.

"Iris, Tora, everyone. Gone." Douglas muttered to the rust-haired samurai, his grip strengthening as he holds in his rage in. "They took them." Akiba could hear a wimper from those words.

After saying this, Douglas removed his clasp on Akiba's shoulder and, raising his head forward, walked out with the boy following right behind him.

"Let's go."

Tora huddled closely with the other kids in the orphanage. She didn't quite follow what happened but right now she, along with the others, were taken from their home by these two guys, and right now one of them is pointing a gun at the group with a very pissed off look on his face. At first one may think that she's shy since she's hiding away more than the rest of the group but in reality she was neither shy nor afraid. She has faced worst things than this. She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to appear, just like what her Papa usually does in a fight.

Earlier...

Holly sips in a cup of tea before setting the cup down on a platter which was on a small table beside her. She repositions herself in the seat to find a good spot and once she does lets out a long sigh of relief.

It is nice that's she's given some alone time to relax, since Sandi's coming over to check on his little sister, which also means he'll be watching over the kids for awhile. The young man has grown quite well since the time she's pulled him and his little sister to her home after her previous one... burned down along with their family.

It was a heart-wrenching scene do witness, but there was nothing she could've done to save them from the fire. All she was able to do was take care of the two in their place. And now, the boy is grown and very fit. Having graduated from Signal (with the help of Douglas of course), Sandi is capable of fighting for himself, even against the grimm, and would make a fine hunter in the future.

And if that wasn't enough he is now in Beacon Academy, her previous alumni, and is even in charge of his own team.

The retired huntress-turned-nun took another sip of her tea. Thinking back was unusually tiring. She yawned, but then noticed a weird smell in the room. It was something she has never smelled before. It was... sweet, and tasted sweet. Oh she loves sweets... Its also nice to dream of sweets too...

And that was then she fell asleep. Outside a man was speaking with some officers, no doubt trying his best to keep them distracted. Hidden within the plantation infront of the the building was a gas canister.

Tora watched over the kids as she waited for Sandi to come over. Since she was the oldest in the group, around 11 years old, she put it onto herself to watch over her younger "siblings".

Among these siblings was her good friend Iris who was as perky as usual. She watched her play happily with the others, which starts to make Tora a bit jealous. Though she did put herself into the position of watching over them, she still wants to play with them.

So she decided that playing with them was the best way to watch over them.

That was until she, along with her siblings, were taken in by a group of two men into a van. Then there was an explosion.

She then saw Sandi through the smoke coming out of the explosion earlier. He was calling out for Iris, but it was futile as she was taken in to the van along with her and the others.

Present

And now she was stuck in the van with a man pointing a gun at them. Right now, she needed to keep quite and wait. Hopefully her Papa and Mud man will come to save them.

That was when the windshield was hit by something, which caused the whole van to swerve out out control and crashing into something, evident by the sound of metal hitting something in front.

It was now her chance. The first mistake these guys made was not tying their hands. Tora kicked up, launching herself towards and planting her two feet at the distracted guy-with-gun. The driver, after hitting something, stomped his feet on the brakes, which actually did Tora a favor as the gun-with-gun's head smashed into the bulletproof glass, knocking him out.

Tora then turned her attention to the driver, who luckily put the car into a halt before also having his head being smashed at the window at his side.

With the success of defeating the two captors, Tora smiled to herself before opening a door and helping her siblings out of the car.

Douglas and co. soon arrived to the orphanage, which had a lot of police officers and yellow tape around it as if a crime just happened.

Douglas was the first to come out and once he did the cops close by immediately recognized him.

"Sir Moore, we have bad news.", a cop informed the senior detective before saluting. Douglas showed no change in behaviour, which scared the poor lad.

"I don't need you to tell me. I already know." Douglas then entered the yellow line to meet up with the other cops and Holly, who just came out to greet him with a hug, tears streaming out of her eyes.

Akiba came out of the small car next. Although his normal appearance is not something that most, if not any, would acknowledge, but in his alter ego he is treated differently.

"Sir Fox, we have someone who may be in league with the kidnappers. A boy visiting here caught him, but was unable to stop the others from escaping via van." Akiba bit his lip.

This was starting out very bitterly.
