     After a week or two of staying with Valentine, as well as training with her to improve your skills, you finally thought it was time to hit the road. You bid farewell to Valentine and came across a sign saying WELCOME TO LITTLE INNSMOUTH! You walked towards a restaurant to see empty spots... You took a seat close to the counter and waited. Shortly, a big old-looking fish with a name tag "Yu Wan" asked for your order. It had been a long time you had eaten anything, apart from the dark-chocolate Valentine offered you, so you asked for a heavy meal. After eating, you asked why no one was around but Yu Wan seemingly didn't respond looking worried. He then said about the Medici Mafia, a criminal organization led by Lorenzo Medici, taking the River king's daughters hostage thus the whole lockdown going on. You were slightly shocked, just then a cat lady with several scars on her body barged in. Her eyes were filled with fury and determination, and she ran out of there bidding goodbye to Yu Wan. You asked about the cat lady and he responded her name is Ms. Fortune and she is going to look for the River king daughters. You decided to take a peek at her just to see her arguing with another guy, telling him they will be going to New Meridian, which is located at the Canopy Kingdom. You were intrigued on joining their quest and looked a bit closely, but got startled by a sudden tickle and your chains sent flying everywhere, eventually bonking the cat lady on her head.

     "YOW!" she groaned, turning back to see you, standing weirdly. "Was it YOU that did THAT?!" She scowled, pointing at you. You apologized and wanted to join her on her mission to find the River king's daughters. But, she stopped you before you could continue.

     "What?! Who told you- Never mind that! This is personal and I already have Irvin with me here." she cut in, then you heard her mutter, "Those black-hearted bastards..." But she took one long look at you and grinned. "Ok, you can come."

     "Ms. Fortune, seriously?!" Irvin puffed. "If we are going to rescue Minette and her sisters as well as take down the Medici's minions in the process, we'll need all the help we can get. What's your name, new guy?" she beamed, stretching out her hand- I mean, paw for a handshake.

     "(Y/N)!" you responded, accepting her handshake. Since Yu Wan told you about the current state of Little Innsmouth and had eavesdropped on their conversation minutes ago, you already have an idea of what you're about to be in for. "Don't worry, Mew Nyan, I'm coming for you!" Ms. Fortune said wistfully. It was a long journey to get to New Meridian, hoodlums at certain parts, high possibility of suffering from heat stroke, hunger and dehydration and etc. Finally, you were at the central part of New Meridian. The streets were filled with busy pedestrians ranging from beggars to rare sightings of celebrities. You were just admiring it in awe as news reports were announced live and running.

     "Are you done staring? Focus, new guy!" You snap back to reality to see a concerned cat and an unbothered Irvin. "Irvin's got a plan on how we can beat the shit out of those douchebags."

     "Yes, indeed. So here is it, there are security cameras everywhere and you need to look professional so that's why I brought in suits for us guys and a black gown for Ms. Fortune here." Irvin stated, as we made our way to a black alleyway. We dressed up individually and Irvin stated stage 2 of his plan. Meanwhile, Ms. Fortune was admiring her black gown that exposed her beautiful figure.

     "Next, I'll try to disable the security cameras and give out a signal for you to start. We'll need these secretive air pods to communicate. Then, you two will fight your way in while I try to make a fake announcement for the guests to leave if necessary. Keep in mind, we are all here to save Minette. So we'll do it, even if we die trying!" WAIT A MINUTE HOL' UP! Nvm, you have plot armor.
