On Monday Anna and the other students in the boarding school were gathered in the auditorium for an announcement. Anna was sitting next to her friend Shelly and boyfriend Vincent. She was wondering what the principal would announce as there was no heads up about any changes.

"Hey Anna, have you heard about the disappearances?" Shelly asked.

"Huh? Disappearances?" Anna asked, confused.

"Yeah, it's all over the news. About six or so people have gone missing with no trace." Shelly explained.

"Wow really? That's kinda scary." Anna said.

"Yeah, my dad told me that the homes of the people who went missing looked like something inhuman had broken in. However I haven't gotten much detail on how the house had looked aside from that." Shelly explained.

"Damn that sounds pretty scary, I hope that those people will be found soon." Anna said.

"Me too, I can't imagine how their families feel about all this." Shelly said, feeling bad for the families.

Anna sighed as she felt bad for the families of the missing people and hoped that they'll be found soon. She then heard footsteps echo throughout the auditorium and looked to the stage and saw the principal walking up to the mic. Anna focused all her attention on the principal and what he would say as she knew that this was important. The principal cleared his throat and tapped the mic to test and see if it worked.

After tapping he began saying "Good morning students as you all know strange events have been happening in town lately have been going on. That and some people in town have been going missing lately. Don't worry the police are doing all they can; however we will have some rules in place till the culprits have been found. So from now on whenever any of you leave school property you'll be accompanied by a trusted guardian till you reach your destination."

The students all whispered to themselves as they listened to the speech the principal was giving. Zinsu felt disturbed when he heard that humans had been disappearing. He had a feeling he knew who was behind this and would tell Anna this once they were in a more private area.

"That's not all, as you all know Miss. C has been expecting for some time now, so she is now on maternity leave and won't be back for a while. So we have a new substitute science teacher in her place till she comes back. I like to introduce, Miss Flare." The Principal said, he then stepped aside and showed the new science teacher.

Miss Flare then stepped up to the mic and began to introduce herself to the whole school.

"Hello I'm Miss Flare and I'm your new science teacher. I hope to enjoy my time here teaching the next generation of bright minds." Miss Flare announced into the mic.

"Wow, is it just me or is she smoking hot?" Anna heard a male student ask.

She rolled her eyes at the comment as she expected that guy to say something like that. Anna then jumped when she felt Zinsu peeking out of her shirt collar. She panicked and put her hands over Zinsu to keep him out of sight of everyone else.

"Ack! Anna, wait! I need to get a good look at Miss Flare!" Zinsu quietly explained.

"What why?" Anna whispered as quietly as she could.

"Because, I don't think she's human, I can feel it through her brainwaves!" Zinsu explained.

"What? Really?!" Anna whispered confused.

"Yes! Now let me see! I need to know if she's an ally or enemy!" Zinsu explained.

"Okay! Fine but stay out of sight!" Anna whispered to Zinsu.

"Hey Anna, are you talking to someone? I thought I heard you say something." Shelly explained.

"Oh no! It must've been someone else." Anna said nervously.

"Hmm okay, just wanted to make sure." Shelly said before once again paying attention to the speech.

Anna sighed in relief and allowed Zinsu to see Miss Flare, and tell who she was. When he looked at her she looked right back at him and the two were able to identify each other. Zinsu realized that Miss Flare was indeed an alien and an ally of him and Anna. Once he got that he slithered back into Anna's shirt and let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow Hey did you see that? She looked right at me!" A male student said.

Later in the day Anna was in science class watching Miss Flare closely as she wrote something down on the chalkboard. She didn't know what to do about Miss Flare, after Zinsu had looked at her he hadn't been able to tell her if she was a friend or foe. This was because they were constantly surrounded by someone and this made it hard for Zinsu to talk to Anna.

"Okay Class, who can tell me what this part of a plant cell is called?" Miss Flare then asked. "Oh that's the Cell Membrane." A student said.

"Thank you, but please raise your hand next time." Miss Flare stated.

"Oh right... sorry Miss Flare." The student said before looking down embarrassed.

"Alright, now why don't you all study up on this chapter. We'll be having a Quiz next week and I want you all to do the best you can on it. Another thing, on the day of the Quiz if any of you are caught cheating then you'll get a fail and will have weekend detention to restudy and retake it. However that time you'll be alone, and you'll have ten points taken off. Understand?" Miss Flare asked sternly.

Everyone nodded, the way she said it was very scary to all of them. So everyone sat quietly in their seats and began to study the chapter they were going over. As they were doing this Miss Flare walked up to Anna's desk and lightly tapped her on the shoulder. Anna looked up and saw Miss Flare standing right next to her desk, staring down at her. When she saw her Anna felt her whole body freeze up as she looked up at Miss Flare. The aura she gave off wasn't helping her feel any better as her height and the way she was looking at Anna was intimidating.

"Your name is Anna, correct?" Miss Flare asked.

"Um, yes that's my name." Anna said.

"Nice to meet you Anna. If it's not too much trouble I'd like to talk to you after class, you're not in trouble I just want to speak to you for a bit." Miss Flare explained.

"Um... o-okay Miss F-Flare, see you t-then." Anna stuttered out nervously.

Miss Flare smiled and nodded, she then walked around the class, observing the other students. Anna then felt someone tapping her back and she looked to see the same male student who thought Miss Flare was hot.

"Hey Anna what did you do to have Miss Flare want to talk to you after class?" the Student asked.

"I don't know, listen I'm trying to study, so please leave me alone." Anna said then went back to studying.

After an hour the class ended and all the students left the classroom. All except for Anna, as Miss Flare reminded her that she wanted to talk after class. Once the class room was empty Miss Flare closed the door and stood in front of it. She did this to make sure that if anyone tried to get in she'd have a heads up.

"Alright so Anna right?" Miss Flare asked.

"Yeah you've already asked me." Anna stated.

"My apologies, my species has a habit of forgetting and getting confused. We normally have holo graphs that have the picture and name of the people we need to remember. However, because of my current predicament I can't use mine right now." Miss Flare explained.

"Okay, well what did you want to talk about Miss Flare?" Anna asked, curiously.

"Well it's not just you I wanted to talk to. I also want to talk to Zinsu, so Zinsu you can show yourself. We're alone and I put a filter on the cameras in this classroom. The filter will just make it look like we're talking about science stuff." Miss Flare explained.

Zinsu then slipped right out of the collar of Anna's shirt and smiled at Miss Flare.

"Flare it's good to see you, I see you got the message I was able to send you in that old escape pod." Zinsu said.

"I did, and I'm glad to see you alive, you've also seemed to have found yourself a new host." Miss Flare said.

"Yes I did, I unfortunately lost Galiz and had to switch to a new host as you know I'm weak without one." Zinsu explained.

"Yes, I'm well aware of how your species work." Flare said.

"Um, so who are you? What are you? And Why are you here on earth?" Anna asked.

"I'll explain what I am later, kid, but for now, I was Zinsu and Galiz's friend and informant. I inform them about the bounty they go after, where they are, how the planet works, how they can avoid getting killed, and most importantly what their bounty's weakness is." Flare explained.

"Oh okay, that's impressive. I guess they are going to need that intel if they want to live." Anna said.

"Yeah Galiz never finished school so they needed my help when it came to their job. Plus they had always given me half of the bounty they made, so they treated me fairly." Flare explained.

"Okay well what did you want to talk about?" Anna asked.

"Well I came to inform you both that the Cardinal 13 are on their way here. We unfortunately can stop them so we devised a plan to get you two out of here and to safety." Flare explained.

"They are?! And you did what?!" Zinsu asked.

"They're on their way and we have a plan to get you two out of here." Flare explained.

"Wait, what about my family, Shelly, and even Vincent?!" Anna asked, worried about her loved ones.

"Um Zinsu?" Flare asked.

"Anna here cares a lot about her loved ones. Her aunt and Grandparents are the family she has here. And the human girl she mentioned is her best friend, while the boy is her new lover." Zinsu explained.

"Ah, alright, well we were unaware of anyone else being a part of this so we don't have any plans for them." Flare explained.

"N-No! I can't leave them behind when those freaks come! Isn't there a way to bring them along?!" Anna asked worriedly.

"Hmm... well if they're in the same place we can warp them with you two and they'll be safe." Flare explained.

"What about Anna's grandparents house? It has the needs and structure the two need and fitting a warp device in a house like that isn't too hard." Zinsu explained.

"Wait what?! Zinsu what are you even?!" Anna asked, feeling all kinds of confused.

"What he's saying is a way we can protect your friends and family." Flare stated.

"You are? Well how long do we even have?" Anna asked.

"Well from what the others had told me, we have about a few earth days or even a earth week before they come. That should be enough time to set up a warp device in your grandparents house." Flare said.

"Okay but what do I do when they come, after all my grandparents live about an hour's drive away from here. That's why I always take the bus as it's much easier than walking all the way there." Anna explained.

"Well easy, on the day they come, you can bring your friend and Boyfriend to the house and say it's to have some tea and cookies. So when the Cardinal 13 comes you all will be in the same area. So they try to get in to get to Zinsu and you, we can warp the house to a new planet that's much safer." Flare explained.

"You know that isn't a bad plan Anna, and we can get your loved ones to safety while you and I work on taking them down." Zinsu explained.

"Wowowow! Who ever said I wanted to be a bounty hunter? Let alone help in fighting some kinda huge and dangerous alien Mafia?" Anna asked, confused and scared for her life.

"Anna please, I need your help, I can't fight them alone. Galiz asked me to finish what we started and I plan on doing that! So please help me make my last hosts and friends' last words mean something." Zinsu begged as he desperately wanted Galiz's last words not to go to waste.

Anna looked at Zinta's face and then to Flare, the both of them were looking at her with desperate looks on their faces. Anna internally screamed as she was the kind of person who couldn't say no to those who were desperate to do something good. She knew that from what Zinsu had told her about the Cardinal 13 they were indeed doing something good.

So Anna sighed and said "Alright Fine, I'll help."

Zinsu and Flares' faces both lit up upon hearing this. They cheered with joy as Anna said she'd help them take down the Cardinal 13 and bring peace to the galaxy.

"Awesome! Thanks Anna! You won't regret this one bit!" Zinsu exclaimed.

"Yeah and don't worry, me and my crew will make sure your loved ones are safe and sound." Flare reassured Anna.

"Alright that helps a little, but if I die! Oh then when you two join the after life you're going to be in for some Hell On Earth!" Anna stated very clearly.

"Trust me Anna, with me by your side, I won't allow you to die, we're going to stop them!" Zinsu was excited.

Anna assumed the excitement was about Zinsu getting back into his old carrier from before arriving on earth.

"Alright well we better get to the next class. It's PE and Mr. Mirch won't be happy If I'm late as he's kinda strict like that." Anna explained.

"Yes you should, now Zinsu remains out of sight a little bit longer. I know you're an extrovert, as the humans call it, but you can't be seen here." Flare explained.

"I know, and don't worry I'll stay hidden for as long as I need to." Zinsu said, reassuring Flare.

"Good, now you two get to your PE and I'll inform the others about the change of plans." Flare said.

"Great thanks Flare you're a lifesaver." Zinsu said before sliding back into Anna's shirt.

"Y-Yeah thanks and when that time does come, please make sure my family and friends are alright." Anna requested.

"Don't worry kid, I know how important loved ones are to you humans. So we'll make sure they stay safe during their time within space." Flare reassured Anna.

Anna smiled a bit, before leaving the classroom to go to her PE class (and to keep Mr. Mirch from getting on her case).

At the end of the day Anna was in her dorm room, lying on her bed lost in thought. She had her Pajamas on and Zinsu was once again on her computer studying about earth. Anna looked over to the window and up into the night sky that led out to space.

As she laid there she thought more about what would happen when this Cardinal 13 arrived on earth. She felt nervous and scared of what would happen to her and her loved ones when that happened. Zinsu felt Anna's body getting tense and when he looked over to her he saw she seemed worried. He then looked up at the night sky and realized that she was most likely thinking about the future events involving the Cardinal 13.

Zinsu sighed and turned the computer off, he decided to talk to her, he wanted to help her to feel better about this. He understood that something like this could be nerve wracking as before he'd be in many dangerous situations. So he understood why Anna is nervous and scared as she's young and was never in dangerous situations before.

"Hey Anna are you alright?" Zinsu asked.

"No I'm not! I'm stuck with you! And you're wanted by an intergalactic mafia! And I gotta help you take them down so you can fulfill the wishes of this Galiz aline! So no, I'm not doing so well! After all, I never asked to be a part of this, I was just dragged into it!" Anna explained, making her annoyance very clear.

Zinsu shriveled up a little as he felt bad for getting Anna wrapped up in this. However he wasn't really thinking straight at the time as he was in shock after losing Galiz to the Cardinal 13, but it isn't an excuse.

"Anna I'm sorry for getting you involved in my mess, I really am. However, what's done is done, and we're in this together so we gotta fight together." Zinsu explained.

Anna didn't really feel any better with what Zinsu said and she just laid down in bed and continued to worry. Zinsu looked down sadly, he wished that he knew some way to help Anna feel better. He then remembered what he and Galiz used to do whenever one of them was nervous.

"Hey Anna, I hope you don't mind me asking, but there's something that me and Galiz used to do whenever one of us was nervous. So if you want tom I can do it with you and try to help you feel better." Zinsu explained.

"Um... sure I guess, but the moment it gets too weird for me then I want you to stop, alright?" Anna asked.

"Of course, all you gotta do is let me know when you want me to stop." Zinsu explained.

Anna nodded, then watched Zinsu's movements as he got to work. She was curious to see what he and Galiz had done before whenever one of them was nervous.

Zinsu then formed two tentacles out of his slimy green form and used them to wrap Anna tightly up in her blanket. He made sure she was nice and snug in the blanket, after that he got Anna's phone out and put on some calming music. After turning the music on he remerged his tentacles in his form and then gently wrapped himself around Anna's shoulders. He snuggled up to her face and made sure she was comfortable in the position.

"How do you feel?" Zinsu asked.

"Um... better actually, thanks Zinsu." Anna siad.

"That's good, being wrapped up like this and having some relaxing music on always helped Galiz feel better." Zinsu explained.

"Well that's nice, I do actually feel a bit better, thanks Zinsu. I still think you're a dick for wrapping me up in this, but you're pretty cool." Anna explained.

"Hehe thanks Anna, lets get some sleep, there's school in the morning and I don't want us to be late." Zinsu said.

"Hmm, that's what my dad used to tell me... I miss him so much." Anna said sadly.

"Well I also miss Galiz, so you're not alone with missing someone you loved." Zinsu explained.

Anna gently brought her hand up and brought Zinsu up to her face a little more.

She then said "Thanks Zinsu... good night." before falling asleep.

Zinsu smiled and said "You're welcome Anna, and good night to you as well."

Zinsu then fell asleep as well, and waited for the next day to come, he also prayed that he and Anna could make Galiz's last words a reality.
