Ives: RAH!

Somewhere outside of the brute's new location, Ives slams down another brute alongside 4 others as the rest of the brutes who are outside the fighting ground watch in awe

Brute referee: And another point goes to Ives!

The brutes who were watching clap out of congrats and surprise as Ives straightens herself up and wipes her head with her arm while letting out a prideful smile

Ives: Heh! Piece of cake!

Brute 1: Damn, she took all 5 of them

Brute 2: For a human, she fights and has the strength of a brute

Brute 3: Guess that explains why King wanted her to join our group!

Soon Jorge lightly jogs over to Ives and brings over a towel, which takes it while thanking him as she wipes the sweat off of her body. Meanwhile, King watches over them from the window while a brute approaches him

Brute: Sir, you have a few minutes before you leave! The Tribes are calling for a-

King: ...

Brute: Everything alright sire?

King: Yes... Just watching...

Brute: Are you concerned about your euthanasia?

King: Not exactly, it's their bond I'm more concerned about

Brute: May I ask why sir, shouldn't you want your son to be happy

King: ... Yes I do but... I can't have my euthanasia be weak if my son has to die...

Brute: ... Oh... I understand now...

King: Good, now if you excuse me, I have to get to a meeting

Brute: Yes sir

Meanwhile, Ives finishes wiping the sweat off of her face while petting Carrot as she sits next to Jorge on a bench

Ives: *phew* I needed that workout! It's been a while since I worked up a sweat

Jorge: "They didn't go too rough on you?"

Ives: Nope though I feel like I went a bit too rough on them

Jorge: "Well at least you aren't hurt, just didn't want you to feel-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ives pats him in the chest out of comfort and sets Carrot on his lap

Ives: Relax Jorgie, this lady can handle herself

Jorge: "O-Ok"

Soon Jorge turns his attention to Carrot and begins to play with her. As Ives was watching him, she couldn't help but remember when King told her the truth

A few months ago:

King: My brother's name was Haken... was second in line to lead the brutes if I ever were to pass away. So instead he was the general of a small group of brutes that were considered our "military" party while I was the leader

Ives: What was he like?

King: Oh he was a warrior yet a terrible leader... always wanted to be on top of everything... he hated how me and my wife's law was just about peace... claiming we are born warriors and having a "peaceful" life just makes us weak... he was right...

Ives: Right?...

King: My wife wanted us to be peaceful... help others in need... I respect her wish... but after her death, I... ended up becoming like my brother because I became too weak to save her...

Ives: ...

King: He would grow a rebellion army to overthrow me and my wife's rule but before we could have a war... Thor appeared and my brother and his army tried to fight him... they were all killed while we all escaped...

Ives: ... Does Jorge know about his uncle?

King: No and I don't plan to tell him... he already hates me for how I treated him so adding that info to him... will just make him hate his family more than ever... and I don't want him to become a brute that just hates everything...

Ives: ...

King: Just do me a favor... and never tell him anything that we just discussed... ok?

Ives: ... ok...

Present time:

Ives: "How does his father hide secrets from him for this long... guess I should be thankful his mother created this giant munchkin..."

Jorge: "Ives? You ok?"

Ives: Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine, just having some deep thoughts

Jorge: "Oh... sorry if I interrupted, I was just concerned cause you were so quiet and it's a bit out of character and-"

Ives: *giggles*

Jorge: "What?..."

Ives: Nothing, it's kinda cute when you get concerned

Jorge's face turns a bit red out of embarrassment and covers his face while Ives continues to giggle. Soon she tosses the towel aside and hops off the bench to let out a stretch

Ives: Anyways I'm famished, you wanna go grab a bite?

Jorge: "I mean I would like to but I don't know if my father would-"

King: It's fine...

Suddenly Ives and Jorge jumped in surprise and turned at him who was behind Ives

Jorge: "Hey Dad..."

King: You two can go anywhere you like but remember-

Ives: To make sure to back before it gets late, we know

King: Good... now if you excuse me, I have places to be...

Jorge: "...Dad?..."

King: What?

Jorge: "... Would you like to... come with us?"

King: ... Can't, I have a meeting with the Tribes and probably be back for a while. But I trust you two will be home before I do

Ives: We will

King: Good... have fun, boy

Jorge: *nods*

Soon King and a bodyguard brute walk off and make his way out of the Brute's base while hiding the guilty expression on his face

Ives: Well since he's leaving, we should get going before we waste any more time

Jorge: "O-Ok"

Jorge carefully puts Carrot in his front pocket, who pokes her head out, gets up from his seat, and together with Ives exits out of the base as well

Jorge: "Since we're getting something to eat, could we go back to that fast food place?"

Ives: Actually, I have something in mind that you might like, especially this little one. Consider it a surprise!

Carrot: ?

Jorge: "?"

Ives: Huh?... kinda expected a cheerful reaction from you two

Jorge: "W-Was I supposed to react differently?"

Ives: No it just knowing you, I thought you would react in a certain way

Jorge: "I... don't know what a surprise is like... and it could be a good or bad thing!"

Ives: *giggles* When it comes to surprises, it's usually something to be looking forward to-

Suddenly Ives bumps into someone coming from the corner which knocks both of them to the ground. Jorge out of a small panic quickly helps Ives back to her feet

Jorge: "Are you ok? You didn't hurt yourself?"

Ives: I'm fine, just fell on my ass. But speaking of which, watch where you are going! You-

Suddenly they both recognize the person they bumped into who gets up onto her feet and dusts herself off until turning her attention to them

Jorge: "You're-"

Ives: Eris?

Immerensis: You two...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ives: Man I didn't think I would see you again, Eris!

Immerensis: Me neither... somehow...

Immerensis soon found herself between Ives and Jorge with Ives having her around her shoulder and Jorge walking beside her

Jorge: "Are you sure you want to come with us? If you are busy we can-"

Immerensis: It's fine, giant... Think of it as a "break" as Ives claims from what I was doing...

Ives: Actually, what have you been doing since we last met?

Immerensis: Investigating...

Ives: Oh you a cop?

Immerensis: No, just need to gather some information for a certain someone...

Jorge: "Certain someone?"

Immerensis: It's nothing to be concerned about, but where exactly are we going?

Ives: Just a little surprise I have for Jorgie so- oh and we are here!

They soon arrived at a small building which was a cafe but was covered in a rabbit theme

Immerensis: A Rabbit Cafe?

Ives: Yep! I saw this just recently opened and I figured Jorgie would like it! What do you think?

She turns at Jorge who is starring at this sign in disbelief until she notices tears crawling beneath his mask out of joy

Jorge: "This... this is real?"

Ives: Oh damn, I knew you would like it but I didn't think you'd be this happy

Jorge: "I... don't know how to express my gratitude... this is... this..."

Immerensis: Keep standing there or we'll never get inside

Jorge: "Oh right!"

They enter inside where they see rabbits roaming around the place which excites Jorge even more while Carrot is anxious to come out to play with them as Ives orders their table

Waiter: Ok! Make sure you wash your hands and put any item you have away and you can sit anywhere you like! If you have any questions, call out to any employees you see!

Ives: Gotchu!

They soon enter the doorway where the rabbits are and take their seats. Within a second the rabbits hop toward the trio out of curiosity

Ives: Woah, they're quite curious!

Immerensis: They're cute...

Ives: What do you think, Jorge?

They turn at Jorge who gestures to them to be quiet as they see Carrot, who is out of Jorge's pocket and is with another rabbit, lying on top of each other slowly falling asleep as they look in awe

Ives: ... I need to take a picture of this...

As Ives was taking a picture, Immerensis watched as the rabbits crawled up to her in curiosity until one of the rabbits tried to hop on her back to which she panicked and pulled the rabbit away

Ives: You good?

Immerensis: I'm fine, just don't like something going up my back

Ives: Why? Sensitive?

Immerensis: ... We'll go with that...

Ives: Well since it's been a couple of months since we last saw each other, what's been going on with you?

Immerensis: Just been busy, meeting a lot of people and such

Ives: Make sense but why are you trying to have a meeting with people?

Immerensis: There are just some things I'm curious about that I'm unaware of and it would be a benefit in case that certain group or thing becomes my enemy

Ives: Jesus, you sound like some war general

Immerensis: I just like to prepare and plan for future events

Ives: I guess?...

She turns to notice Jorge trying to get some of the rabbits' attention only for them to hop away out of fear causing Jorge to look in a little upset causing Ives to approach him

Ives: You're approaching them the wrong way

Jorge: ?

Ives: They can't see what's in front of them, so it's startles them

Jorge: "But I usually do this to Carrot and she doesn't get scared"

Ives: Probably cause she's used to you and since you are new to these rabbits, they won't know. So you gotta do it like this

She takes his hand which surprises him but goes along with Ives. He felt his face getting hot and turn red from being close to Ives which he tried to hide from her

Ives: Approach your hand a little bit on any side of their head so they know what it is! And make sure you pet them on their head

Soon he found himself petting the rabbit calmly without scaring it which made him look in amazed

Ives: See?

Jorge: "I... didn't know you knew much about rabbits"

Ives: Well my family did own a farm so I know a thing or two about animals

Jorge: "Oh... also can I have... my hand... back please?"

Soon she notices that her hand is still placed on his causing her to pull her arm back and scratch the back of her head out of embarrassment

Ives: Oh shit, that's my fault!..

Jorge: "No, no, it's fine... it's fine..."

Both Jorge and Ives remain silent out of embarrassment until Ives notices a sign that says you can feed rabbits and finds a way to escape the awkward tension

Ives: *Ahem* I'm going to get some rabbit food for us to feed them sooooo... I'll be back

She escapes out of the group to avoid her embarrassment and towards a waiter while Jorge watches out of worry as Immerensis connects the dots to what just happened

Jorge: "I hope I didn't upset her..."

Immerensis: ... You like her don't you?

The second he heard those words come out of her mouth, his face glowed bright red, and begins to panic

Jorge: "What?- No!- I mean... she cool and I admire her..."

Immerensis: ...

Jorge: ... "And she... smells like flowers..."

Immerensis: ... I could've just gotten a yes or no answer

Jorge: ! "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be weird, I just lost track of thought and I said some bizarre things! I-"

Immerensis: But it's fine, so I wish you two the best of luck

Jorge: "... Thank you..."

Ives: Hey! I got the rabbit food! What are you two talking about?

Jorge: "Uhhh..."

Immerensis: Rabbits

Ives: Oh, but here some to feed the rabbits

Jorge: "Thanks!"

He takes the rabbit's foot and waddles his way to the rabbit to feed them while Immerensis just sits down and lets the rabbit eat from the cup that she lowers down

Immerensis: This is nice

Ives: You say that like you never had fun

Immerensis: I'm just usually busy because I'm poor and I have a bunch of people to meet up with every week so this isn't something I have time for

Ives: You don't have to be that descriptive

Immerensis: I have to make sure you get the message

Ives: Sure... but take some time to yourself, you know? Don't wanna stress yourself out!

Immerensis: Like what?

Ives: Well, something like this and hanging out with us some more! And besides-

Suddenly they notice that Jorge trying to be still as he is covered in rabbits that are either sitting on him or just crawling around him to which Ives lets out a giggle

Ives: It's nice to have someone around you that lightens your day

Immerensis: ... Yeah... I guess...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This story is interrupted by a chibi Immerensis playing a flute while Ives and Jorge lying underneath a tree watching the clouds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They soon exit out of the rabbit cafe with Jorge feeling glee about his experience while Immerensis looks confused as to why Ives looked satisfied

Immerensis: You seem to be doing a lot of him

Ives: Hm?

Immerensis: I mean you seem to be happy to be being him around the place that he likes. Not saying it's bad or weird but have you gone to the place you want to go?

Ives: I mean I am his euthanasia and I want to make sure he experiences a lot of fun and joy in case he... *sigh* I really don't want to imagine that...

Immerensis: I guess...

Ives: And besides he never got a chance to see what is around this city and I'm just happy he's getting a chance to explore! Wonder if I should get him a phone so he can try to contact me if I have to be separated from him.

Immerensis: ...

Ives: Also I should bring him to a museum? He might like to see all of those giant bones...

As Ives was pondering on where else she could bring to Jorge, Immerensis soon realized why she was interested in Jorge

Immerensis: ... You like him don't you?

Ives: What? No! I mean I like him as a friend! And I don't hate him!

Immerensis: ... What do you even like about him?

Ives: Well, he's nice, and cute when he's all awkward and shy, and... he does have a gorgeous rock-hard body... wonder if he can grind meat with those?...

Immerensis: ... Weirdo...

Ives: Hey! I'm just curious! Sure, I have a thing with muscles and shit... and you asked me about likeness!

Immerensis: Yet you couldn't just say you answer without adding the detail to the muscle parts...

She walks by as Ives stops and she finds herself in an awkward spot from Immerensis's response, trying to think of a good comeback until catching up to her out of annoyance

Ives: Well- I- I just want you to know that I only like him as a friend!

Immerensis: I'm aware... and I'll just say you two are idiots

Ives: Hey!

Immerensis: The fact that you two haven't-

Suddenly from the corner of her eyes, she sees a familiar shadowy figure in an alleyway who watches her until disappearing from the corner

Ives: You good, Eris?

Immerensis: I'm fine, but I just remember I have to go and finish some business

Jorge: ?!

Ives: Aw what?! Can't you stay a little longer?

Immerensis: Sorry, it would be nice but I need to finish this business...

Ives: *sigh* Fine! But you better come visit us whenever you have time! It was fun!

Immerensis: ... Yeah it was fun... I will come to see you guys someday...

Ives: Perfect! See you later Eris!

Jorge: "Bye-Bye"

Immerensis: Bye...

Soon Immerensis walks away from Jorge and Ives, disappearing into the alleyway while they continue their walks

Jorge: "Wished she stayed a little longer"

Ives: Yeah, that woman needs to stop worrying about her "jobs" and just chill out!

Jorge: ... "Hope she's not in some kind of hard debt with some shady people?..."

Ives: What? What makes you think that?

Jorge: "She just seems like the kind of person to borrow money and then struggle to pay it back. I've seen some people like that when it came to borrowing money with the Biker tribe"

Ives: Eh I doubt it, I don't think she would do something stupid like that. Perhaps it's a job she has and she just needs cash, she did say she was struggling with money

Jorge: "Wait if that's the case, then we should've had her stay at our place! It's rude of us to leave her alone out in the cold!"

Ives: ...

Jorge: "Sure we might have to move around a lot but at least she have a place to stay until she got enough money to-!"

Ives: Relax Jorgie, if she can get around the place from where she's at then I'm sure she'll be fine! Besides I don't think she'd be interested in staying with us if she rejected the job that I have

Jorge: "Yeah... you're right"

Ives: ... You know, I've been noticing this but you've been a bit off

Jorge: "Is it bad?"

Ives: Oh no, it's just surprising. Not only did you want to invite your father to come with us but you are wanted Eris to stick around. You'd normally keep quiet and just give small gestures on what you want so... you know

Jorge: "Oh... I guess I didn't realize I was but... I think it's cause things have been changing lately since you came... and it's been great"

Ives couldn't help but blush to her surprise which she quickly realizes and tries to shake it off

Ives: ... Hey now, are you trying to hit on me

Jorge: "What? No! I didn't mean to! I just-"

Suddenly Ives lets out a giggle and gives him a little smack on the stomach as he looks in confusion

Ives: I'm just joking Jorgie! How about we get some ice cream? You can try some flavors you might've heard of!

Jorge: "O-Ok!"

As they are walking to their destination, Jorge looks at Ives's hands and tries to reach out to grab them but hesitates out of embarrassment and fear.

Jorge: "Not yet... maybe soon..."

Meanwhile, Immerensis arrives at the alleyway where she saw the stranger and as she expected, she sees the man who was smoking a cigarette

?: You didn't need to come check

Immerensis: We have a deal to finish, Shiroi...

Shiroi: I'm aware... and I could've waited, after all, you're not interested in what I have so why bother to put this first against your freedom?

Immerensis: Cause this idea you have is stupid...

Shiroi: Yet it will free the world from the Order's reign... their lies, the horror... and our revenge...

He tosses the cigar on the ground as his back suddenly sprouts out black angel-like wings and small black horns from his head, revealing what he is... An Angel...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel is a rare type of Demi race that is known to have small horns and black wings, making them have more unique skills compared to a normal Demi. There were once many of these races until their population dropped drastically and now only seven of them left in the world. They're also considered a threat to the world by the Order and will reward anyone who reports or captures one for a million

Immerensis: You know, you're risking yourself for being caught

Shiroi: I'm doing this to make sure you get the point... The Order destroyed and taken what was our home... and I was a fool to not realize it...

Immerensis: So it's a bit of selfish redemption you're doing this...

Shiroi: ... Yes... I made a mistake in helping those bastards... not realizing I was just helping my killer... and I feel like you would understand... since you are like me

She remains silent until letting out a sigh as her back suddenly sprouts out wings like Shiroi so she can make her point as well

Immerensis: I'm aware of what the Order has done, but I have no interest in trying to bring down a world government... I'm only doing this to get cash from you... and besides destroying the Order will have consequences...

Shiroi: And them destroying our kind didn't bring them consequences? If the world won't bring them consequences... I will be that consequence...

Immerensis: ... There consequences will come... especially with the rumors going around

Shiroi: Perhaps... but once the day comes... I will be there to make sure that it will hurt them... and I will make sure that the "end" will bring a better beginning...

Immerensis: ... *sigh*

Soon she puts her wings away as she has given up on trying to change his mind while Shiroi does the same as he believes he made his point

Immerensis: Seems like you're not going to change your mind no matter who tells you what...

Shiroi: Good... now... tell me everything you know about the Brute tribe's connection with the Order...

Meanwhile, somewhere else, King enters a meeting room at the Biker Tribes base where he takes his seat next to Tyson

Tyson: Hehe! Good to see you again, my best customer!

Tooth: Greetings, Tyson...

Tyson: So what up your ass from summoning us for this meeting?

Tooth: I didn't call to have this meeting...

Tyson: Eh?

?: I did...

Soon out of the shadow, a man with yellow hair man in a fancy suit walks out and takes his seat as two women, wearing a cat and rabbit mask and latex body suits stand behind him

Tyson: ... God damn those women are fine...

Drake: Ignore them, they're my... bodyguards...

King: I'm assuming you are-

Drake: Drake... and also the new tribe leader that moved in here recently...

Tyson: So what brings you here? Trying to show that you got bitches? GAHAHAHHAHA!!

Drake: No, I'm coming to see if we can settle a... partnership agreement

Tyson: A deal eh? I'm all ears!

King: ...

Drake: You see... Since I became a new tribe member, I'm still setting up my business. I managed to get a base but I just haven't gotten my products... yet

King: So what do your problems have to do with us?

Drake: I would like to just make an "exchange" deal once I begin production! For you Tyson, you can supply me with weapons and maps for different locations, and for King, supply me with some Brutes soldiers! If you're all willing to agree, I'd be happy to give you all... products you need whenever you feel lonely...

Tyson: I'm too lazy to think right now but what are your "products?"

Drake: *sigh* I feel like it should be obvious, especially with my tribe name... Woman! I'll be able to get my hands on any type of woman you'd like! Just need time to get them to be obedient and they will be like your own living toys...

King: ...

Drake: Think about it! Women are made to be bred... it could be an easier way to create an army without hiring people... or perhaps make money for you for "lonely" people to use them... they are "filled" with opportunities! *chuckles*

Tyson: ...

Drake: All I need you both to do is agree, and it'll be beneficial for all of you! Hell, I'll give you the children's for free! They usually are the best when small and they-

Suddenly King punches down the table, breaking it into bits, surprising Drake while Tyson remains silent

King: Shut your fucking mouth... I don't want to hear what other disgusting things you have to say...

Drake: ...

King: I have no interest in helping or giving you anything for your "business..." especially when you involve children...

Tyson: Look, I love women and all of their glory! But I ain't a fucking bastard! It would ruin my reputation for what I am now!

Drake: *tsk* You're both worried about your reputation? Oh please, you act like this is the worst thing compared to what people think of you! King is a psychopath genocidal maniac that kills everything in its way and Tyson is your average mob gang but with bikes!

King: Yet even if people believe that it doesn't mean it's what we truly are...

Drake: ... You both have so many opportunities to do whatever you like and yet you both don't even try to use it... such a disappointment for crime lords...

Tyson: *Yawn* Are we done here, I wanna go and grab a bite

King: I'm already done with this meeting... and I never want to see your disgusted face ever again...and if I ever see your face, I'll become what people think I am to kill you...

Drake remains silent as he tries to hide his anger with his plans already having a bad start until standing up and makes his way to the doorway with the two women following him

Drake: Fine... we have no deals then! Was gonna invite you all to this party I'm throwing as a way to begin my business but I guess you both don't deserve it!

King: I have no interest...

Tyson: Not worth my time when I could be making money! Hehe, money!

Drake: *tsk* Good day gentlemen...

He slams the door and makes his way out of the Biker base where some of his members are waiting for him

Member: I'm guessing it didn't go well, sir?

Drake: No... but it's fine! We still have that party planned out!... but I need to know if is she going to be there.

Member 2: We did our research... she is indeed coming

Drake: Heh, Good... I can see her face again after so long...

He pulls something out of his vest pocket which is a photo of Rachel and lets out a grin, sliding his finger on it

Drake: ... And she will be mine soon...
