Project K-9

Chapter 26

"Seriously Sapnap? This is the 5th time that this has happened in 3 years. Please try to control your temper," Dream scolded his friend, who was firing a gun at some paper targets.

Sapnap sighed, "Well if my masters weren't so incompetent then I wouldn't have to yell at them all the time!" he replied.

The raven head was getting rather tired of his two friends scolding. Repeating the same thing about controlling his temper every time that his current master, would drop him back at the facility to find a new, more obedient K-9.

Bad and Dream shared concerned looks. Unlike Sapnap, Bad has had the same Master since completing his one year of training.

Four years have passed since they met, Dream was now a handsome 17-year-old and growing rather tall. Bad and Sapnap have also grown to be fine men, and the latter would be celebrating his 16th birthday soon.

Just then Dream and Bad were called by their masters. After giving their raven-headed friend a quick hug, they quickly made their way over to the two agents.

Bad had been lucky to find himself a very kind and caring master. Though the program had been going on for some time now, there were still a lot of problems with how the masters treated their k-9s.

Bad hugged his master, and the man let out a low chuckle while ruffling the brunette's hair. Dream smiled at the exchange. Bad had yet to experience seeing the ugly side of mankind, and the blonde sincerely hoped that his friend would never have to.

"Come along now Dream..." Illumina called, the blonde waved goodbye to his friend before following his master.

The K-9 was quick to observe the frown on his master's face but decided not to say anything.

The pair stopped to buy a bouquet of flowers before heading toward the cemetery. They climbed the steps up the hill in silence, and once at the top Illumina handed Dream the flowers. Dream dropped a flower on each grave before placing the remaining flowers on a newly made mound, but instead of a proper gravestone, it had a cemented pole. Engraved on the pole was the number 3 with a name below it.

"You can finally rest now Ali... please give the rest of our siblings a hug for me..." he said, trying his best to stay strong, but his voice betrayed him.

Only 5 children from Project Underdogs remained alive, including him and Techno. Dream had watched life slowly leave their bodies in the hospital, while others returned from their missions in coffins. Oddly enough, Dream hasn't experienced any deadly symptoms from the experiments yet, and hopefully never will.

A firm hand on his shoulder broke him out of his thoughts, and he quickly wiped away a few stray tears.

"When I die Dream, I want you to bury me here..." Illumina stated out of nowhere, making the blonde quickly turn to face him with concern.

"Don't look at me like that kid, you are fully aware that our job is a dangerous one. Even more so now..." the agent stated in a serious tone, before taking in a deep breath and continuing. "The MOB has returned..."

The blonde's body tensed up at that piece of news, horrible memories started to replay in his mind but he forced them back.

"They aren't as strong as before, but they are slowly trying to rebuild their organization under the rule of a new boss and 4 new executives. The director wants the K-9 division to put a stop to them before they can fully re-establish themselves in the country..."

A look of determination crossed Dream's face, "I have never failed a mission Illumina... and I don't intend to start now." he declared.

Illumina gave him a soft smile, "That's good kid, but I think we should get you some new clothes. You're growing way too fast," the agent commented, pointing to Dream's pants that were getting a bit short for the growing teen.
