Vulcan, who had now put on a shirt, walked towards the door.

"Alright." was all he said.

"You'll be all right by yourself?" Lisa worriedly asked.

"No problem."

"It's the captain of the 3rd." Shinra said, peeping into the peephole."The 3rd is the one that's under Haijima's control, their going to snatch up Vulcan."

"But if Vulcan goes there, his dream won't ever come true." Yu exclaimed, panic in his voice.

When Vulcan returned, he and Shinra had a little talk with each other, well, until a funny looking squirrel came flying up.

"Where did that come from?!" Vulcan exclaimed, making Yu and Lisa snicker to themselves.

"Sorry. I touched something I wasn't supposed to." Arthur apoligised, holding a mini version of the squirrel that looked like it was excreting urine.

"What does this do?" Sister Iris asked with much anticipation.

"No! Under no circumstances do you push that!" Vulcan immediately tried to stop the curious girl from pressing it, which failed of course. A racoon then shot out metal rods, pinning the poor Vulcan on the wall with quite the pose.

While chaos continued to happen, Vulcan had surprisingly broke into laughter.

"How are you guys so messed up? Are you really Fire soldiers?" Vulcan teased."You can't go back without accomplishing anything, can you? I'm about to show you something that will make your trip worth it, so once I do, leave me in peace."

Now, the seven were outside, waiting for Vulcan to show his little trick.

When he did though, everyone was incredibly surprised by how realistic the holograms of sea creatures that surrounded them were. Even Shin, who had sparkles in his eyes, was excited.

"Did you know that long ago, there were over 1,750,000 species of animals in the world?" Vulcan excitingly shared his knowledge and passion for animals, Company 8 was stunned, Sister Iris was even moved to tears.

When the show had ended, Vulcan still was not convinced to at keast meet with Obi, and left.

Lisa was now explaining how she met with Vulcan, and just how kind a man he really is. Yu too had jumped in, explaining that Vulcan seemed skeptical og Giovanni. As the two were about to leave, not being able to help them out anymore, Shinra suddenly fell to his one knee.

'It's this sensation again...' Shinra thought, referring to that time in Asakusa. 'That time, it was Lieutenant Konro's cry for help. This time, it's Dr.Giovanni's hostile intent.'

"Shinra? What's wrong?" Shin, who had noticed something was wrong, asked.

"We can't leave here now. Hero's intuition." Shinra declared, making the other three look at him in confusion.

After Shinra had explained what was happening to rest of company 8, Shin couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

"Sister, you and Arthur go back to the workshop and tell Vulcan he's in danger. Shin, come with me." Shinra said, making Shin groan.

"But isn't this Giovanni guy a caltain of some Haijima dog company? He must be pretty strong, it's gonna be a pain." Shin complained, making Shinra and the rest sweatdrop.

"Don't be like that Shin, all of us know that you are strong, so stop lying to us." Shinra carried Shin princess style and flew up, scouting the vicinity for any other potential enemies.

"Why must I be the one? Can't you get Arthur or somethin?" Shin folded his arms, still upset about this whole ordeal. Why is the fire force so damn corrupt?! Just let him do his job dammit.

"Shin, with your ability, it should be easy to pinpoint how many enemies there are." Shinra said, laughing apologetically. "I'm counting on you!"

Shin closes his eyes, focusing on sensing any heat signatures apart from the ones he knew.

"Ah. Three, including Giovanni's. Meaning there are two accomplises." Shin informed Shinra, who just nodded. The two were now on a branch, when suddenly Shin felt something coming.

"Shinra, duck." Shin roughly pushed Shinra's head down, catching the hand that was shot up, Giovanni's hand.

"Ew, the fuck?" Shin was weirded out, so he broke the thing immediately.

The two then jumped down, Shin immediately shot the tree which had Giovanni's heat signature hidden behind, revealing the captain of the 3rd as he jumped out to dodge.

'So this is the rookie with the Adolla Burst, and the boy who is to be eliminated as top priority. I shall bring both back to the Evangelist.' Giovanni thought, preparing to shoot out his other hand, which was full of electric current.

"Tch, what cheap tricks." Shin immediately surrounded Shinra in a temporary barrier, peotecting him from the electric current that was shot at him.

"What kind of monster are you? That right there was 2 million volts, how could you have so easily blocked it?" Giovanni directed his question at Shin, while increasing the amount of voltage in hopes of breaking through it. That too, was a failure.

"Nothing passes through my barrier, not even sound." Shin casually shrugged, already tired if this creep.

'No wonder the Evangelist prioritized him as the most important target. He's a monster that threatens even the evangelist itself.' Giovanni thought, getting ready to attack yet again.

"It's no use, nothing you do will work. Hurry up and surrender." Shin said, pointing another finger gun at Giovanni.

Suddenly, Giovanni threw a grenade full of poisonous gas at the two boys, blinding them as he quickly escaped.

' I must escape alive while I have the chance, the key is of importance as well.'

"D-Damn it! Shinra, the workshop! He's heading there!" Shin immediately jumped on Shinra, who leapt up in the air, heading towards the workshop at full speeds.

When the two reached there, they saw Arthur getting absolutely beat up.

"Arthur! Status?"

"Get to the workshop!"

While Shinra was speeding towards the workshop, Shin was on his back, blocking any incoming attacks coming towards the two.

Shinra broke through the workshop's wall, punching Giovanni in the face, much to Shin's satisfaction, though it quickly disappeared once they saw what condition Vulcan and Yu was in.

"Lisa, why...?" Suinra asked the girl who had now revealed her true colors.

Shin quickly went up to Vulcan, beinging him next to Yu and Sister Iris. He then stood infront of them, so as to protect them from the shockwave of a possible fight.

Just then, Vulcan woke up.

"Vulcan, you okay?" Shin asked, bending down to check on him.

"I got hit by flames...I still can't move on my own yet..." As Vulcan was explaining his situation, Giovanni had slowly got up from the floor.

"Shinra Kusakabe, Shinsuke Hitoka. How is it that you are always in my way?" Giovanni asked, his little snout popping out as well, making it hard for Shin to take the man seriously. "No matter. I'll just dispose of these pests and capture the both of you."

"Rise, Fishing fire! Wrap his body up!" Lisa activated her ability.

"These flames are magnetic. They latch on to the faint magnetic fields living things produce." Lisa added, all her tentacle like flames all attempting to latch onto Shinra and Shin. Keyword, attempting.

"Why can't they...?!"

"This is the, if not one of Shinsuke Hitoka's abilities." Giovanni cursed, how trully troublesome this was for them.

While the two were distracted, Vulcan immediately told Sister Iris to hit the buttons in the wall, which she did. Many animal shaped machines came flying from all sorts of attention, their magnetic fields attracting Lisa's flames.

Then, Shinra started to go ham on Giovanni, while Shin was distracted by the many cute animals that were surrounding him. Well, that was until he sensed someone else's heat signature, making him kmmediately run out of the workshop towards Shinra.

However, when Shin had reached, the only thing he saw was Shinra's elated face, as well with him calling the other boy his brother.

Wait...what?
