Yor Forger: The Assassin Who Knew Too Little

Live and Let Fly

Agent Crow woke up in a deep, dark room. Only a few faint signs of light surrounded him, with corridors from both sides seeming to lead into nothing. He tried to move, but found himself tied up to something that towered over him from behind. "I wouldn't struggle if I were you...it's futile" he heard someone say from ahead.

"Awake at last..." a cunning voice grinned. Agent Crow gasped, he knew that voice from anywhere, "Mr. Kohai!"

The head of ROWN himself chuckled as he stepped into light, "In the flesh. Looks like I finally managed to catch our little bird of prey. We've had quite the history together, you know? Too bad our little game is reaching its end, at least you'll get to go out with a bang!"

The top agent tried to pull himself out, "No big deal, I've broken out of several of your traps, what makes this one any different?" before the evil genius teased, "I made some extra...precautions this time. And the best part is, you get both a starring role in my grand finale and a guest appearance at the 'World Peace' event."

Crow struggled harder, as the boss laughed at him "What do you have planned this time?" the spy snarled. Kohai stepped back, "Allow me to enlighten you..." he grinned as the room's lights were dialed up just enough for Agent Crow to make out his situation. He was strapped to the front of a very huge, unrecognizable device that softly ticked. "Do you love my new little toy?" Mr. Kohai taunted, "You're going to be the first and only to see it in action in less than two hours, so strap in tight..oops! Looks like I already did that for you!" he laughed.

Agent Crow growled, "Whatever it is, I can't let you get away with this." The crime leader slyly grinned, "Try all you can..." he stated, walking away, "Come noon, and you won't be the only one flying the coop!" as he cackled ferociously, pointing to a clock on the wall, making sure the spy got an active reminder of the time left before his plan succeeded. "Well, I'd love got stay and watch the fireworks, but it'd be much safer on land." Mr. Kohai grinned before leaving Agent Crow on his own.

Back above ground, Anya and her friends were all gathered at the Lundawn city square as televisors and news outlets surrounded the area, unaware of the activity down below. A clock tower nearby read half past 0010 as the big event was almost underway. "Anya! This is it!" Becky screamed, "We get to be on live television!" The little pink haired girl was eager but had one big worry to herself, "I just hope that booger I lost earlier doesn't show up when I'm on stage!"

Far away from the festivities, Yor wandered through the city, focussed on destroying whatever evil plan the villains had in mind and save her precious daughter. She entered an alleyway and noticed something familiar on the ground. She picked it up and recognized it as Agent Crow's communication device. She pressed the button, "Hello?" Mother Goose knew that voice from anywhere, "Thorn?!" she asked, surprised that her former agent had gotten ahold of her.

"Isn't this Crow's?!" Yor asked aghast. Mother Goose explained that Agent Crow had gone missing that evening and she had lost all contact with him. Her team had searched the city, but with no luck. "Mrs. Forger," Mother Goose pleaded, "You may not be a spy, but you're still the most resourceful, brave, and determined person I've ever met. You're the only one I know who can locate our top spy and save the world. We're all counting on you." Yor's face narrowed as she put everything together, "I'm on it!" she answered as she rushed out to track him down. Being an assassin, another part of her instincts included being able to track down anybody she recognized, almost like Bond but without having to stop at the nearest fire hydrant for a pit stop.

Everyone was counting on her, Anya, Mother Goose, Agent Crow, and the nations! For the first time in what felt like days, she knew just what to do. "Ok, I find Crow, I stop the bad guys, and save the world!" she thought, imagining herself as a crudely drawn stick figure with a superhero cape standing on top of the world with fireworks going off and Anya hugging her.
