Rosa looks around as she enters different offices and looking through the documents. Unfortunately, none of them have what she wanted. She groans as Chiya notices her looking through a desk, and she asks, "Is there something wrong... ahem...?"

"Rosa." She answered back.

"Right, Rosa. Do you need help?"

"Wha-n-No! I'm good, don't worry!" Rosa ensured her, "I-I mean! I don't want to bother a princess, after all!"

"It's not a big deal. After all... I'm no longer a princess, anymore..." Chiya said.

"... I... I'm deeply sorry for your loss." Rosa told her sincerely.

"... When we reunited... Ronin told me the death of my father, which I already knew long ago." Chiya explained, "Even though he explained Dib was brainwashed into killing my father... I still couldn't forgive him for what he did to my people and family. I mean... how could I? I am willing to tolerate him... but liking him as a ally... will be easier said then done."

"Yeah... sorry." Rosa apologised while continuing to look through the documents.

"Mm? What are you looking for?" Chiya asked her.

"I'm looking for any information about my past." Rosa told her. "Since I have no memories and such."

"Well... maybe I could help." Chiya told her, "After all, I was major Keef's secretary, so handling documents is in my job description."

"Okay, well, my full name is Rosa Herzog." Rosa told her.

"... Did-Did you say, Herzog?" Chiya asked in shock.

"Yeah, why?" Rosa asked her.

"... There is actually someone out there with the exact same surname." Chiya told her, which she widened her eyes in shock and quickly rushes to her.

"Really?! Tell me! I need to know! Please!" Rosa begged her.

"... You're not going to like this," Chiya warned her, "But... his name is Almaric Herzog, the Successor of the Grim reaper, due to the fact he is ruthless in his mercenary job and always getting the job finished. He's a very deadly man you don't want to cross paths with."

"... Oh..." Rosa mumbled in disappointment, "... Do you think he might know me?"

"Well, Herzog is not a uncommon German surname, so we don't know." Chiya explained, "So... it's either he's connected to you or it's just pure coincidence that you two have the surnames."

"... I really hope it's the former one." Rosa mumbled, "Then again... is he actually the Grim reaper or is it just an alias."

"Of course it's just the alias." Chiya told her, "He's called that because he has the same scythe from it's former user, Yelizarov Leonido Ludomir, a Russian orc who was nicknamed the Grim Reaper."

"What happened to this Leonido?" Rosa asked her.

"... I don't know," Chiya answered unsurely, "I was simply told that he died in action during the third year of the Kasai war."

"He was involved!?" Rosa asked in shock.

"No, his death didn't take place in Japan," Chiya explained, "That, I am very sure of. But where he died, we don't know. If I remember from what Skoodge told me, his body was never found."

"I see..." Rosa muttered.

"Sorry... that's all I got to say." Chiya told her, "You have to ask Skoodge that once he recovered. Though... do we have a spy or something?"

"I hope not..." Rosa hoped. "It is rather strange that someone managed to knock those two out."

"Definitely," Chiya agreed, "... Mmm... who could it be though?"

"I don't know, everyone seems rather trustworthy." Rosa noted, which Chiya raises her eyebrow, "What?"

"... I have noticed a few of them are rather suspicious, though I don't know some of their names." Chiya pointed out, "Like that succubus lady."

"Oh! You mean Aezira!" Rosa realised, "Sure... I don't like it when she teased me back then when we first met, but I don't think she's suspicious."

"... How about Mikala and Tori?" Chiya asked, which Rosa gasps in horror, "What?"

"Oi! Those are the people who helped me!" Rosa told her off.

"You trust people too easily, Rosa-san." Chiya thought, "Then again... I sort of envy that..." "Anyways... mmm... what about that vampire butler always by Aezira's san's side?"

"Oh! Sebastian?" Rosa realised, "Mmm... no, then again, he hates Zim for unknown reasons."

"Mm? Did anyone told you that?"

"No, just a good gut feeling." Rosa admitted.

"I see..." Chiya sighed and says, "Well... who else?"

"Mm... Well, there's no way it's Harumi, Mini, Cube and Gir, so we stretch them out." Rosa crossed out, "I don't think it's Ronin, Valarie and Leo either..."

"Definitely not Ronin," Chiya said confidently, "Though... I don't know about Valarie and... wait, did you just say Leo?"

"Yeah, that's the cyborg orc's name is called." Rosa told her, who is just looking at her, "What?"

"... D... do you not get the same connection?" Chiya asked her.

"What connection?"

"... Leo... Leonido...?" Chiya said bluntly, which Rosa is still confused, "Oh my god... never mind... wait, is Leo from Russia?"

"... I... I don't know." Rosa replied honestly.

"Then ask him!" Chiya told her off.

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Rosa saluted panicky as she rushes out, but accidentally bumps into Ronin, "Oh! Sorry! Excuse me!"

Rosa runs past Ronin and leaves, while the samurai just raise his eyebrow in confusion and looks back at Chiya. "What is that about, Chiya-Sama?"

"She went to find Leo," Chiya told him, "So, is there something you need?"

"... Not quite..." Ronin replied softly as he takes out his sword, which Chiya stares in awe.

"That's...!"

"Yes... the Kusanagi." Ronin mumbled as he hands it to her, "I believe this belongs to you, lady Chiya."

(A/N - I changed the name of his sword to Kusanagi because it fits much better and, fun fact: it's an actual sword that belonged to the Japanese royal family. I updated the first story to reflect that change)

"... No, this is yours now." Chiya declined, which shocks her former retainer.

"But... this is your family sword!" Ronin protested it.

"I believe there is a reason why my father handed you that sword, is there not?" Chiya asked him.

"... Y... You are not wrong." Ronin sighed.

"I'm glad," Chiya smiled. "And I'm so happy to see you again, Ronin-san."

"I am happy to see the daughter of my liege as well, Chiya-sama." Ronin smiled. "So... if you do not mind me asking, what were you two asking about?"

"Just Rosa's memories... and who could be responsible for knocking both Zim and Skoodge out." Chiya told him honestly. "Don't worry, I do not suspect you at all."

"I see... do you want me to investigate this?" Ronin asked her.

"... Mmm... well, it's either Mikala, Tori, Aezira or Sebastian." Chiya suspected. "They seem to be the most suspicious to me, personally."

"Mmm... I do not think it's Mikala and Tori since they're family to Zim, so I highly doubt they would attack their own adopted family member," Ronin defended, "And Aezira is extremely doting and overprotective of Zim for whatever reason. So, I personally think it might be Sebastian since he hates Zim."

"I have a feeling." Chiya agreed, "In that case, keep a close eye on Sebastian for now."

"Of course, Chiya-sama." Ronin obeyed as he leaves the room.

"... I hope we survive this..." Chiya thought.

(Meanwhile in a limo)

While the limo is going through the traffic, Purple groans and says, "Come on! Let's just go straight to these assholes and blow them up!"

"No! We will wait till nightfall so we can ambush them!" Fiona told them off.

"Tch! Who made you boss?!" Red asked harshly, "I honestly miss the old you when you're a bit more tolerable."

"I did. Remember?" Ate told them off. "And besides, it's Tak's idea AND honestly, it's a better idea since they're more likely to rest up during nightfall, so we can ambush them when they least expected. In the meantime, we need to prepare ourselves and get our manpower ready."

"I still prefer blowing it up right now." Purple groaned.

"Well, too bad! Gha ha ha ha!!!" Kronin laughed at him.

While the group are openly arguing among each other, Tak watches out of the window where she sees a lot of people walking around. She blinks a bit and stare at her hand as she gives a wide smirk, and her eyes glows a bit.

"Soon... I shall regain my throne... but first... I need to exterminate those stupid rebels..."

"Mmm? What's up with the psycho?" Purple asked bluntly.

"I don't know." Red shrugged.

"Tch..." Tak groaned as she just focuses on the window and ignoring the Tallests.

"Ugh, how disrespectful!" Red complained.

"I know right," Purple complained back, "This is exactly why we need to get rid of those defects! They end up becoming too disobedient and harder to control, though..."

"Though what?"

"That one scientist isn't defective, but still joined that stupid Resisty group!" Purple pointed it out to Red.

"You mean that Lunt lady?" Red asked.

"I'm surprised you remember her name since it's been... how long was it?" Purple forgotten.

"Over a hundred years." Red told him.

"Oh yeah! Ahem... god, I can't even bother to remember that female!" Purple admitted.

"Ha Ha Ha!" The two Tallest laughed loudly while Tak just rolls her eyes again.

A/N - Okay. I'm gonna pause this fanfic for awhile because I have 7 other fanfics I wanna do. So, yeah... sorry everyone. I hope you all understand! Aqua out!
