Night falls as Tadayoshi and Tracer arrives at a large warehouse that is outside of the city which they find no one guarding the place

Tracer: This is it!

Tadayoshi: Yeah... still how did you not know this is where he was?

Tracer: Because I never saw the base, all I remember before getting hypnotized is chatting with demi-humans that try to convince me to join them!

Tadayoshi: Fair enough...

They both walk into the warehouse to find it dark and empty. They look around to find the place quite open and large for a warehouse

Rachel: Tadayoshi and Tracer, get yourself prepared! We're getting a lot of heat signatures around you guys!

Tadayoshi: Don't tell me that they're-

Suddenly the lights flicker on as they see the demi-guards blocking off every entrance around the warehouse and pointing their weapons at them. Tadayoshi and Tracer quickly pull out their weapons and looks around their surroundings

?: So you've finally made, Agent Black and the traitor!

They quickly turn behind them to see a light flashing on a demi-human sitting on something but they couldn't see through the dark. The Demi-Human is very old but was muscular, had a fire-like hair color which was the same with the long beard, a leather jacket, ripped pants, and steel toe boots.

Rachel: So that's the one trying to expose us? Quite old for a leader

Tadayoshi: So you're the leader of this group?

Alpha: That's correct, call me Alpha!

Rachel: Alpha...

Tracer: You know him?

Rachel: I think I've heard of that name before... hang on!

Alpha: And your name?

Tadayoshi: Tadayoshi...

Alpha: Tadayoshi eh... *looks at his hair* And a Forgotten... now this is interesting...

Tadayoshi: So what if I'm a Forgotten?

Alpha: Nothing, I have no grudges against a Forgotten... especially when I was once was

Tracer: What?

Alpha: You think I want to destroy the Guardians for no reason? Well you are wrong

Tadayoshi: Of course you have a reason, reasoning is what motivates a person...

Rachel: I remembered! He was my grandpa's closest friend!

Tadayoshi: ... So that what's it is... you're getting revenge on the old man...

Alpha: You're smarter than you look... you're correct, this is for revenge!

Tracer: So all this trouble and especially trying to get people to join you was just to get revenge on a friend?

Alpha: You don't get it! No one does! Especially when it doesn't come out of a Forgotten mouth!...

Tracer: What do you mean?

Alpha: ... Many years ago, me and Craig were once a Forgotten... we both had nothing until we both became close friends since everyone looked down upon us because of what we are. Sure, we'd fight, play, argued, but we were still friends... we were like brothers... Being with him was like having something with you and giving you hope that you aren't alone... One day we made a promise... a promise that when we do find a purpose, we do it together and we do whatever that purpose is together!

Tracer: So what happened-

Alpha: He left me... After a few years later, a war broke out between the Humans and Dei-Humans, which was the Civil War 2... that was when Craig found his purpose and was no longer a Forgotten... He formed the Guardians and stopped the war... but he left me alone... he never came back to talk to me and just... walked away from me like he didn't know me... like our time together never existed... I had nothing again...

Tadayoshi: ...

Alpha: You out of everyone would understand that trying to get revenge on someone who left you is understandable, Tadayoshi...

Tadayoshi: I won't deny it...

Tracer: You agree with him?

Tadayoshi: Revenge yes, the reasoning no... there's no such thing as "true friendships." Friends will always come and go and they don't last forever... which is why you should've made the most of it...

Alpha: *Tsk* If you'd agreed with me, I would've let you join me...

Tadayoshi: Listen, normally I wouldn't care what you do since it's not my business but...*points his spear at him* I have a job to do, so I have to take care of you

Tracer: Yeah, we're here to kick your ass! Especially after you hypnotized me!

Alpha: *sigh* Mind as well finish up the story then...

Tracer: Huh?

Alpha: A few years goes by and I was able to find my purpose and was no longer a Forgotten... I realized that Craig decided to have all the fun and happiness to himself and didn't want me to hold him back... so now I will destroy everything he has created so he'll know how it feels to be left with nothing again! Starting with you two!

Suddenly he jumps into something and disappears into the dark. Suddenly, they see glowing eyes in the dark and hear something startup. Soon the thing pounces out of the dark, revealing itself. A mechanical Griffin with Alpha controlling it. The machine lets out a roar as Tadayoshi and Tracer stand their ground

Tracer: What the hell is that?!

Rachel: Tadayoshi and Tracer! We've scanned the machine and it's not like any normal droid!

Tadayoshi: What does that mean?

Rachel: We don't know, but all we got is it's covered with tungsten, so it'll be impossible to damage it from the outside! Back up is on its way so try not to get killed until we figure out a weakness!

Tadayoshi: Good to know!

Alpha: Stand down wolf pack, let the Alpha handle the prey

Beta: Allow me to assist you, Alpha!

Suddenly Beta appears out of nowhere and lands beside Alpha with her axe out

Alpha: Did you hear me what I just ordered!?

Beta: I did, but if you somehow go down, then I want to go down with you!

Alpha: *tsk* Your funeral

Tracer: You can have the Griffin... Beta is mine!

Tadayoshi: Fair enough... I have a payment to get...

Both Tadayoshi and Tracer glares at their opponents which Alpha and Beta does back until they both jump towards each other and clash

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

Beta swings her axe which Tracer dodges swiftly and jumps back, throwing a few throwing knives but Beta swings her axe, hitting them.

Tracer: Dammit I'm getting nowhere with this!

She starts to run at Beta who swings at her but Tracer jump above the swing and legs scissors around her neck until flipping back, causing Beta to be lifted and slammed on her back.

Beta: You omega cat bitch!

She pulls out something small while spinning her axe around until she throws the object in the air and hits it like a bat with her axe. Tracer immediately recognize what it is and dodge it, which the object explodes after hitting the ground

Beta: Oh, so you were able to recognize it?

Tracer: It's the same thing that blew up that building!

Beta: The same thing that should kill you two back there!

Beta jumps towards her and swings her axe but Tracer quickly blocks the attack, but she still felt herself being slowly pushed back

Beta: You are just a lonely omega rank like every other demi soldier! If you surrender, I'll give a word to the Alpha to spare you!

Tracer: I don't work for anyone anymore!

Tracer manages to push Beta back and throws a few throwing knives which stab Beta. She quickly pulls out the knives and notices Tracer jumping towards her to cut her but Beta dodges and grabs her leg, throwing her but Tracer quickly rebounds to her feet

Beta: You're quite skilled for an omega demi-human, are you really just a citizen that we picked off the streets?

Tracer: Yep, just a skilled fighter that knows self-defense!

Beta: Wished we didn't recruit you, you are being nothing but a nuisance, omega cat bitch!

Tracer throws a few more knives but Beta dodges them but catches one of them and throws it back but Tracer dodges it, hitting a metal pillar which she pulls out. Suddenly Beta jumps towards her and brings her axe down which Tracer quickly blocks it, but Beta smirks and kicks her in the stomach, knocking her back into some box that opens

Beta: Tell me why? Why fight against someone better than you? The alpha never gave his order to be a higher rank, so why fight against us?

Tracer looks up at her and gives a little smile while grabbing something that was in the boxes without her seeing

Tracer: Because I'm not living in the past! The Alpha and King shit has been long gone years ago! We don't take orders anymore! And besides, the Alpha is just a coward hiding in a machine!

Beta: You're gonna wish you took back those words, you omega cat bitch!

She goes for a swing but Tracer immediately throws one of the knives which stabs Beta. She looks down on the knife which lets out a beep until exploding, sending her flying back into some boxes.

Beta: *groan* What the fuck...

Tracer: Glad you have a bunch of those explosives in that box, they make some good combo mix with my knives!

Beta: You cheater!

Tracer: Why do you care if this "omega" is cheating? I'm not part of the pack, but I can show how this "omega" can become as strong as a gamma rank!

Beta: You...

Tadayoshi is sent flying and crashes into some boxes, which he gets up to see the griffin leaping towards him, going for a bite but Tadayoshi barely dodges his pounce. The griffin turns back at Tadayoshi, who starts running at him which he swings his paw at him but Tadayoshi dodges to the side of him and swings his spear, hitting him from the side, causing him to be knocked over.

Alpha: Not bad!

Suddenly the griffin swings his tail, knocking Tadayoshi to the ground, and goes to hit him again with his tail but Tadayoshi rolls out of the way. The griffin gets up and jumps at him, but he quickly runs back and jumps back on his feet, dodging the griffin, clawing into the ground.

Alpha: Heh!

Suddenly the griffin pulls some rumble out of the ground and starts throwing them at him. Tadayoshi immediately cuts one of the rumbles in half and stabbing the second one, which he uses to throw back at the griffin. As the dust clears after getting hit by the rumble, Alpha see Tadayoshi appear in front of him goes for a kick in the face, but the griffin doesn't budge from being kicked

Tadayoshi: So heavy!

Alpha: Should've thought better

The griffin pushes him away sending Tadayoshi flying into another group of boxes. Suddenly two machine guns appear on the ears of the griffin and start to fire at him, but he quickly gets up and starts to run around him, avoiding the shots. He quickly throws his spear, destroying the machine guns and he starts running towards Alpha. The griffin takes a swing at him but he slides underneath him, dodging his attack as his pen flies back to him and he tries to cut underneath but doesn't do anything

Tadayoshi: (Still nothing, what the hell am I supposed to do?!)

Rachel: Tadayoshi! We got something that could help! Just hang in there a bit longer!

Tadayoshi: What do you think I'm doing?!

Suddenly he notices the griffin swinging at him but he dodges only to get bitten by the griffin's mouth which the griffin throws him into a metal bar after hitting him a bit. He gets up to see the griffin jump towards him, going for another bite but quickly blocks the attack with his spear as he felt himself getting pushed. He let out a yell and manages to lift the griffin and throws him aside, hitting a metal pillar

Tadayoshi: *huff* *huff*

The griffin gets back up which suddenly his sides open up revealing rocket launchers, which shoot out flying towards Tadayoshi. He quickly starts to dodge them but gets sent flying a bit from the last missile shockwave.

Alpha: You are strong but you aren't strong as my weapon!  After all, a griffin is said to have the strength of a lion, an enhanced sight of an eagle, and humans can't compare to that!

Tadayoshi: You're right... except your "griffin" isn't a real thing!

Alpha: What's the matter? Salty?

Tadayoshi: No...

Tadayoshi weakly get up and look up at Alpha with a pissed off look as blood crawling down his face

Tadayoshi: Just pissed off...

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

This story is interrupted by a chibi Alpha sitting on his throne eating meat on a bone while chibi Beta stands on guard

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

Beta gets sent flying from another explosive but quickly lands back on her feet. Suddenly she notices the knives flying towards her which she avoids as they explode behind her

Tracer: Why didn't I think of explosive knives back then! This is fun!

Beta: *tsk*

Beta starts running around Tracer as she continues to throw her knives. Beta turns towards Tracer and starts running towards her

Beta: I'll show you why I'm called the Beta, omega cat bitch!

She ducks down, dodging a knife, and immediately swings her axe in front of Tracer, who quickly jumps back

Tracer: That's was close-

Suddenly Tracer felt her body being pushed back like she got punched in the stomach, which she get sent flying, smacking into a metal pillar and crashing through the warehouse wall. Tracer weakly gets up and coughs for air while she touches her head and felt blood. She looks up at the wall she crashed through and sees Beta walking out

Tracer: What did you do?

Beta: I just swing so hard that the force of the swing knocked you back, so it felt like you took the hit of my axe swing

Tracer: As *grunt* expected from a beta...

Beta: Now how shall put you down?

Tracer: You don't... unless they lose the spirit, and I haven't lost my fighting spirit!

Beta: Don't get cocky!

Beta swings her axe again which Tracer block quickly blocks that shockwave as she struggles against it. She lets out a yell and manages to push the shockwave back at Beta who quickly blocks the shockwave. As the dust clears out Tracer appears in front of her, jumping on her and leg scissor around her neck.

Beta: Get off me you!-

Tracer places the explosive on her head a quickly jumps off of her but gets sent flying from the shockwave. She slowly gets back up and looks at the dust in the air as she catches her breath

Tracer: *huff* *huff*

The dust starts to cover the area which once it clears she see Beta covered in blood and with a pissed off look

Beta: I'm... going... to... KILL YOU!!!

Beta starts to repeat swinging her axe, creating more shockwaves, which Tracer dodges

Tracer: *huff* *huff* I don't know how much I can last... I need to end this!

Tracer pull out the last throwing explosive knife and into a stance

Tracer: Got one shot left!

Beta: ILL KILL YOU OMEGA BITCH!

Tracer: Assassination Technique...

Beta jumps towards Tracer which she does the same towards her. Beta swings her axe which Tracer barely dodges and gets cut across the cheek. She swings her throwing knife which the second it touches Beta stomach, it let out an explosion, sending Tracer flying into a tree

Tracer: Feline Impact...

The smoke clears out as she sees Beta eye's white and drops her axe before collapsing to the ground unconscious

Tracer: Who's the Beta now bitches... *Flips off*

Suddenly a helicopter flies over and a bunch of soldiers appears. Some of the soldiers run over to the unconscious Beta and starts to apprehend her. Tracer looks around and sees Rachel, who is in a different clothing, exiting out of the helicopter that lowers down and running towards her

Rachel: Jesus are you alright?

Tracer: ... Heh, that clothing makes your ass look tight...

Rachel: ... As much as I would slap you, I'll let this slide. Get the medic over here!

The medic starts running over to Tracer and starts to fix her up

Rachel: Where's Tadayoshi? He has responded for a while!

Tracer: He's inside still... probably kicking ass!...

Rachel: He better be!

?: I know!

Rachel hops back into the helicopter which lifts into the air float above the warehouse

Rachel: "Be safe Tadayoshi!"

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

The griffin gets sent flying into the air and smashes into a metal pillar, breaking it which suddenly causes part of the roof to collapse onto him. The griffin burst out of the rumble and glares at Tadayoshi

Tadayoshi: *huff* *huff*

Alpha: What the hell is this?! Why does it feel like he has gotten stronger

Suddenly light flashes onto him which both Alpha and Tadayoshi look up to see a helicopter

Rachel: Back up is here!

Tadayoshi: I can see that! Now have you figured out how can I get through his armor?

?: I can answer that!

The second Tadayoshi hears that voice, he recognizes it which he gets a bit pissed off

Tadayoshi: Zack...

Zack: Hey... Yeah, I work for them and no they are not the reason why I had to kick you out of your old job!

Tadayoshi: ...

Zack: Anyways I've scanned the machine and yes it's covered in tungsten, but you should be able to pull them out like a lego piece!

Tadayoshi: So I just got to do some "take it apart" shit!

Tadayoshi starts running towards the griffin who takes a swing at him but he slides underneath him, dodging the attack. As he was sliding underneath the griffin, he sees some weep holes which he stabbed his spear in and bends back. Suddenly part of the tungsten pops out of the griffin as Tadayoshi slides out of him.

Alpha: Dammit! But you're not gonna live long enough to pull out all my the tungsten!

Rachel: Which is I'm going to make things easier! Tadayoshi!

She tosses something down towards Tadayoshi which he catches and looks at it

Rachel: That is a shockwave bomb that Zack created! If you can throw that inside of his, it'll create a shockwave that should pop out all the tungsten, making him vulnerable!

Tadayoshi: Good to know

Alpha: Try to get it in me if you can!

Suddenly breathes out fire which Tadayoshi quickly spins his spear, blocking the fire. The griffin stops the fire and starts running towards him with Tadayoshi does the same. The griffin pounces toward him which Tadayoshi blocks but felt himself being pushed down from the weight

Alpha: Give it up! You put up a good fight, but it's not good enough!

Tadayoshi: Not... until I get... my damn payment!

He chucks the shockwave bomb underneath, which manages to get into griffin, thanks to the whole Tadayoshi opened. Tadayoshi lets out a yell and pushes the griffin off of him, which sends him into the air and lets out a massive shockwave and an explosion, sending the tungsten metal flying everywhere.

Tadayoshi: *huff* *huff*

Rachel: Are you alright

Tadayoshi: I live...

Zack: The shockwave must've activated the explosives that were in the griffin...

He looks up at the griffin to see it as a metal skeleton with Alpha, who is bleeding and breathing heavily, still controlling it

Alpha: Fine! If I can't take down the entire Guardians, then I'll at least take one down with me!

Suddenly part of the metal skeleton around its neck spikes up and starts to spin like a saw and starts running towards him, which Tadayoshi blocks the attack but the griffins bite down in his head and throws him up

Tadayoshi: I'm sick of this shit!...

Tadayoshi spins his spear around for a bit until lifting it and he starts falling towards Alpha

Alpha: Congratulations! You made yourself wide open! Hope you enjoy being in hell, Tadayoshi!

The griffin lets of another blast of fire which Tadayoshi gets consumed into

Rachel: Tadayoshi!

Suddenly through the fire, Tadayoshi burst out while still being in flames

Alpha: What?!

Tadayoshi: Say hi to Satan for me, you old bastard!

He swings down his flaming spear, cutting Alpha through the glass and cutting the skeleton griffin. Suddenly the griffin starts jerking and backing up a few feet

Alpha: How... I... lost to Craig's members... Dammit... DAMMMIT CRAAAAAAAAIG!

The griffin lets out an explosion from the fuel tank in the griffin. The smoke clears out as the destroyed griffin is in flames and Alpha, who is burnt, collapsed to the ground unconscious while Tadayoshi quickly puts fire that was on him out.

Tadayoshi: Alpha my ass...

Soon the Guardian soldier starts running in and starts arresting the demi-soldier and apprehending Alpha. Tadayoshi look at his hand and quickly shake it off before anyone could see what. Soon the helicopter lands down and Rachel exits out

Tadayoshi: The job is done...

Rachel: I know, great work! We'll take it from here

Tadayoshi: Yeah... through I thought you were supposed to be with your friend

Rachel: She was supposed to be here but the fans slowed her down so she's staying at an apartment and will be home tomorrow

Tadayoshi: I see... now where my payment

Rachel: About that, I need you to come back to the base

Tadayoshi: Why?

Rachel: It's more of a surprise for your hardworking!

Tadayoshi: ... *looks at his hand* I can't... maybe tomorrow... but it better be worth it *leaves*

Rachel: Where are you going!

Tadayoshi: Home... have to let out some steam...

Rachel: But... you're injured

Tadayoshi: I'm fine... I can fix myself...

He walks past her and starts making his way of out the warehouse which he sees Zack, who tries to say something

Tadayoshi: I don't want to hear a word from you!

Zack: ...

He walks past him which Zack look back watching him leave

Zack: How am I supposed to make it up to him?...
