(The Next day)

Anna and Vincent were in the restaurant enjoying some delicious pancakes. Vincent cut a bit of his pancake and put it in his mouth, as he ate he relished at the delicious, fluffy taste.

"Mm! This is so good!... Huh? Hey Anna you alright? You've barely touched yours?" Vincent stated as he noticed Anna had hardly eaten hers.

"Huh?! Oh yeah I'm fine Vince." Anna said.

"If you're not enjoying your pancakes then you can say so." Vincent explained.

"No! That's not it! I love them, I do!" Anna exclaimed then took one of her pancakes with her fork and shoved the whole thing in her mouth "Mmh yummy!"

Vincent sickered before laughing at Anna's behavior, he found the action kinda cute. Anna smiled a little at that and the two laughed together.

Zinsu meanwhile emerged out of Anna's chest and to her pocket where she kept her phone. He was bored and hoped that Anna's phone could provide him with some form of entertainment. Of course he wouldn't play anything that would make a sound so he just looked at photos.

"Hey Anna, are you sure you're alright?" Vincent asked curiously.

"Yeah I'm fine, why?" Anna asked.

"Well after you got back from the hospital... I don't know, I felt like something about you has changed." Vincent explained.

Anna looked down at her plate and thought about what Vincent had said. She wondered if she should tell Vincent about Zinsu and what he had done to her. However she felt like Zinsu would prevent her from telling anyone about him.

'I doubt Vincent would even believe me. I mean who would? I'd just sound crazy and I certainly wouldn't believe something like this if someone else told me.' Anna thought to herself.

Later on Anna and Vincent were walking through the park admiring the scenery. The two were holding hands while they were walking, and they held one another as they walked.

"Ah fall is such a beautiful time of year isn't it?" Vincent asked.

"Yeah, it is, fall is my favorite time of year as it's so beautiful." Anna said.

"Why don't we take a seat at one of the benches here and admire the scenery?" Vincent asked.

"Sure! I'm up for anything." Anna said excitedly.

The two looked around for a bench to sit on, however as they were walking, Zinsu felt something strange. He looked for the source and was horrified when he realized what it was. Once he figured it out he knew that he had to alert Anna right away or else both her and Vincent would be put into serious danger. So Zinsu turned Anna's phone screen off, and slithered out of Anna's skirt pocket and up to the collar of her shirt.

"Psst! Anna! Look down here!" Zinsu called out in a whisper.

"Hm? Zinsu?!" Anna was surprised by his sudden appearance.

"Hmm? Anna, did you say something?" Vincent asked.

"Oh no! I didn't!" Anna said awkwardly.

Vincent just gave her an "Okay?" look and just focus on the path ahead.

"Zinsu what are you doing?!" Anna asked as quietly as she could.

"Sorry but you and Vincent need to get into a more public area!" Zinsu explained as quickly as he could.

"What why?" Anna asked, confused by this.

"There's no time to explain, just do it! Tell Vincent that you want to go to your Grandparents place! From what I know there's lots of people in their area correct? So it should be safe, once we're there you can go to the bathroom and we'll talk more then." Zinsu explained quickly and quietly before disappearing into Anna's shirt again.

Anna was left confused by Zinsu's actions and wondered why they had to be in a public area. However due to the fear she saw in Zinsu's eye she believed that maybe he felt something wrong. So she decided to listen to him and see what he had to say later on, and she hoped he would answer honestly.

"Hey Vincent, you want to go to my grandparents place?" Anna asked.

"Hmm? Why do you want to go there? Didn't you want to find a bench to sit on for a bit?" Vincent asked, confused by the sudden question.

"Well it's getting cold out here, so I want to go somewhere warmer." Anna explained.

"Hmm, yeah, it is getting kinda cold so I guess let's go somewhere warm." Vincent said.

Anna smiled and started leading Vincent to her grandparents home. As they were walking Zinsu peeked out of the back of Anna's shirt collar and saw a figure in the distance. The figure seemed to have been following and still was.

However that changed when the sound of cars driving by and horns honking came into ear shot. When that commotion hit the ear shot the figure seemed to have turned around and gone in the opposite direction. Zinsu let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a bit as he saw the figure disappear from view.

'That was way too close for comfort, I didn't think they'd be here so soon! I have to tell Anna ASAP! I also hope that the others will arrive soon. They had to have received our coronets when we crashed here before Galiz died.' Zinsu thought to himself.

Anna meanwhile had felt the tension and fear that Zinsu was feeling not too long ago. When she felt him become scared she wondered what it was all about, that and it felt very strange.

'That felt weird. I could feel when Zinsu was scared and tense, this is something I guess I'll need to get used to.' Anna thought to herself.

"Hey Anna I felt your muscles tense up, like you were nervous. Are you sure your good?" Vincent asked a little worried this time.

When Anna heard that she didn't know what to say, she didn't feel nervous, but she believed that was from Zinsu. She made a mental note to talk to him about this later as a way to prevent others from confusing her for being tense when it was him.

"Yeah, just excited to see my grandparents and aunt, that's all." Anna explained.

"Ah, Okay, well let's go then! After all the last time you saw them was when you where in the hospital." Vincent explained as he followed Anna.

'Right I didn't, thanks a lot for that Zinsu!' Anna thought angrily, mad at Zinsu for knocking her out for two weeks.

The two had soon arrived at Anna's grandparents home, they went up to the front door and rang the doorbell. After ringing they heard some shuffling coming from inside and then the clicks of the locks being undone. The old door then opened with a slight creek and out came Anna's grandmother.

"Anna! I didn't expect to see you here, Oh is this boy your date?" Anna's grandmother asked when she noticed Vincent standing next to her granddaughter.

"Yes I am, my name is Vincent and we go to the same school. My father had done their and he thought a boarding school would be good for my social skills." Vincent explained.

"Oh is that so? Well you seem like a kind gentleman, and I hope you and Anna will be happy together." Anna's grandmother said.

"Hey, grandma, I need to use the bathroom so could you let us in?" Anna asked.

"Huh? Oh sure my dear, you two come in. I also made a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies so help yourselves to some." Anna's grandmother said while letting the two in.

When Anna and Vincent got inside they took their jackets off as well as their shoes. Once they had their warm stuff off Anna went to the bathroom while Vincent went to the living room with Anna's grandmother. When Anna was inside the bathroom, she gently closed and locked the door so no one would walk in on her.

"Alright Zinsu, we're in the bathroom and we're alone. So you better give me an explanation as to what's going on!" Anna demanded.

Zinsu then slithered out of Anna's shirt and faced her, knowing that he had to tell her everything.

"Alright I'll start talking, as I know you wont allow me to avoid this conversation." Zinsu said.

"You bet I won't, I'm like my mom and she never backed down from having serious conversations." Anna stated in a serious tone.

"While I never meet your mother, from what I do know of her from your memories proves that to be true." Zinsu explained.

"Yeah, now start talking! I want you to give me a good explanation as to what happened back there. I felt you getting tense and scared so I want to know what happened, and why you felt that way." Anna explained.

"Well what happened, I felt the presence of one of the aliens who tried to kill me and my previous host before you." Zinsu explained.

"Wait what?!" Anna asked, surprised and scared.

"You see Anna before I came to earth I was working as a bounty hunter with my previous host." Zinsu explained.

"What?! You and your previous host were bounty hunters?!" Anna asked, surprised and slightly impressed.

"Yes we would hunt down those who have done wrong and make sure they could never hurt anyone again. The two of us also worked on taking out what you humans call a mafia organization. However what they did and had done out in space is much worse then what human mafia do here on earth." Zinsu explained.

"What?! Like what kind of things?!" Anna asked worriedly.

"Well, things like enslavement, turning certain species into drugs, poisoning many planets, and worst of all taking innocent children away from their families. From what I've seen and heard, those poor kids are either turned into drugs, sex slaves, or just outright killed for the fun of it." Zinsu explained feeling sick at the thought.

"Oh my word! What are they even called?!" Anna asked about feeling sick as well, but also worried about what Zinsu was telling her.

"They're known as Cardinal 13. They have different section leaders that control different parts of the illegal activity they do. So me and my original host were planning on taking them all out in order to keep order within the galaxy. Everyone told us it was crazy as any bounty hunter that tried to do that had ended up dead. But the two of us didn't want them to continue wandering around and harming others. So we went out to take them out, but we ended up running into a problem." Zinsu explained, he then looked down sadly.

Anna could feel that whatever it was, it brought Zinsu a great amount of sadness. She then raised her hand up to the side of his face and cupped it gently. Zinsu looked up at Anna and saw her giving him a comforting look. He smiled a bit and snuggled into Anna's hand a bit for some more comfort. He then took a deep breath and went on with the story as he knew Anna needed to know everything, or else the situation would get bad if she didn't know.

"Some one we thought was our friend turned out to have been working for Gaxtion, who was the big boss of Cardinal 13, had told him our plans. Because of this we lost the element of Surprise and we were attacked. We managed to escape in an escape pod, which was the one that brought us here to earth. However my old host, whose name was Galiz, ended up dying after they were shot in the back. I wasn't hit and they told me to move to another host and finish the job. They told me that they want the job to be finished and if they couldn't finish it, then I could. That's how I ended up here and ended up with you. I promised them I would finish the job and put an end to Cardinal 13 and bring the galaxy peace." Zinsu explained.

After letting Zinsu explain, Anna had to process the whole thing. To her it sounded crazy, but the way he was talking told her that he wasn't kidding. She also felt a little bad for him as the way he talked about his old host sounded like the two of them were close.

"Were you and Galiz close with each other?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, we were, I miss them very much. Sometimes I wish we could've done more, maybe then they wouldn't be dead. However they're now gone and It's up to me to put an end to Cardinal 13. However due to how different your human biology is I had to take some time to readjust to it. So I'm in no state to fight right now, so even if the alien that was following us in the park was just a scout I can't fight it." Zinsu explained.

"How long till you are able to fight then?" Anna asked, feeling concerned for her safety.

"Not for another few earth days or even a week. I'm unsure, the human body is a species I've never been in before." Zinsu clarified.

"Alright that feels less than reassuring, but I'm glad you're being honest." Anna said, gratefully.

"Well lying to you in order for you to feel better won't be so helpful when we're in real danger." Zinsu stated.

"That's true... we better go out there before everyone starts wondering what's taking me so long. The last thing I need is grandpa saying my but got glued to the toilet. Don't ask how but it had happened to me before." Anna stated as she looked away a bit embarrassed.

Zinsu did wonder how that even happened, but seeing the embarrassed look on Anna's face. He thought that the story itself is quite discomforting, so he didn't ask about it. Zinsu then hid back into Anna's shirt in order to remain out of sight and Anna left the bathroom.

She then headed to the living room where she saw Vincent, her grandparents, and aunt all sitting on the couch, having small talk. Her Aunt looked over and smiled when she saw her niece standing at the doorway.

"Hello Anna, it's nice to see you again." Her aunt said.

"Hey Aunt Chloe, it's nice to see you as well." Anna said.

"Hey Anna, what took you so long in there? Did you really have to go that badly?" Anna's grandfather asked.

"Um yeah,... that and I kinda got a bit lost in thought." Anna excused.

"Well come and sit, I made your favorite kind of cookies, chocolate chip and butterscotch." grandma explained.

"Yeah and they're amazing! You weren't kidding about your grandma's cookies. They are indeed the best kind you'll ever have!" Vincent happily explained.

Anna smiled warmly as she saw Vincent and her family getting along so well. So she sat next to him and joined in the conversation that they were having.

(Meanwhile somewhere else)

An alien scout had heavy human clothes on, the clothes themselves covered them up from head to toe. They made sure no part of them could be seen as they were walking through a public street and wanted to avoid drawing attention to themselves.

'Hmm, I wonder what we could do with these humans when the rest get here? I hope they can be made into some good drugs as we need new ones.' the scout thought to themselves.

They then walked past a group of humans who were listening to some music playing on a boom box. However the scout kicked the box as it was in the way, and they stomped on it so hard it broke. The human group who were listening to it were pissed when the scout broke their boombox.

"Hey you! SLIME BALL! Your dead mate!" One of the humans screamed.

They then pulled out a knife and the others got out their own weapons too. One had brass knuckles, another had a baseball bat, another one also had a knife, and the final one had a gun on them.

The scout stopped in place and rolled their eyes as they heard the humans threaten them. If they could, they would just kill the humans and take them back to their campsite to see if they would make good drugs. However there were too many people around for them to fight. While they did ignore them out of fear, they knew that if they killed the threatening humans they would be drawing unwanted attention to themselves.

So they just turned to the five humans and took their mask off slightly allowing them to see their face. When they saw the scouts face they got scared and started backing off.

"Yo man it's chill it's chill!" The seemingly leader fearfully said.

The group then all backed away and ran for it, leaving the scout alone and not hurting them. The scout then put their mask back on their face and turned back around to get to the came sight.

After half an hour of walking the scout soon arrived in the middle of the woods where they were staying with other scouts. When they arrived one of the other scouts noticed them and greeted them with a question.

"Hey Number 22 did you find the target?" another scout asked.

"Yes 34 I did, however it seems that Zinsu has merged with a new host. So Galiz is indeed dead, but Zinsu still is a great threat." 22 explained.

"True, he still has all the intention to stop us and bring our organization down. However we won't allow him to do that, and this planet along with all its species will become a part of our organization." 34 explained.

"Yes, and I will inform the boss of my findings. After all, if Zinsu is in a new host he will need to adapt to its body and biology. That will take him a while, like the humans saying goes, strike when the Fe is hot." 22 explained.

"Yes I'm sure Gaxtion will appreciate knowing about this as taking out Zinsu will ensure we can continue on without any worries. After all, other bounty hunters are smart enough to not go after us or those within our unit." 34 explained.

22 nodded and went inside the cloaked ship to contact their master and inform him about their findings. He went up to the highly advanced alien computer and put in the coordinates to contact Gaxtion.

After putting them in, an image of a hover chair came on screen. The alien sitting in the chair was facing away from the screen so 22 couldn't see Gaxtion.

"Whoever you are, you better have a good reason for contacting me. If you're just wasting my time then you know what the price will be." Gaxtion explained.

"Sir, this news is far from a waste of your time. It's me, scout 22, and I bring good news, I was able to find Zinsu, he is here on earth and has a new host." 22 explained.

"And that is good how?" Gaxtion questioned.

"Well he is in no position to fight as he is getting used to his new host's body. So we should strike and kill both him and his host while he's weak." 22 explained.

"Ahh I see, well I'll be to earth as soon as I can. You and 34 meanwhile capture some humans and run some experiments on them. I want you two to find a use for the humans, aside from them being slaves of course." Gaxtion explained.

"Will do, sir, I'll inform you of our findings." 22 explained.

"Good I expect good ones or else you two shall pay with your lives!" Gaxtion explained angrily.

"Don't worry sir, you shall have the results you desire. 22 over and out." 22 said and then ended the call.

They then left the ship to inform 34 about their new assignment. They were excited to do some experiments on some humans and see what they could use them for. After all, what good is a species if they can't be used for more than manual labor and be used as an ingredient for a new drug.
