    It was nearly evening when the henchmen from outer space assembled themselves at the White Fang HQ on Long Island, New York. The place was dim and abandoned. They were lurking around the area as they got busied themselves in preparing their ammo for their next attacks to be done. The other White Fang agents chatted and murmured when they saw Roman Torchwick giving orders from the mutated human boss to the minions. They listened attentively until they noticed someone entered the building. Looking at the newcomers, They smiled intently like seeing another mafia boss with his 3 companions. Torchwick followed his eyes on them, but he didn't know that they were people in their undercover mission at the White Fang's nerve post. The man dressed like Junior Xiong turned his head as his Methane junior agents got anxious with this mission. The blonde lady had put on her dark brown cloak which she disguised herself as a Zarthan spy.

" I don't think this undercover stuff will help us to blend with the crowd," the Uranian said when he felt sweat dripping from his palms.

" Me neither," his Neptunian partner replied in his jittery expression. " Anyway, we're wired."

Agent P concealed his identity by pretending to be a White Fang Agent. He was very vigilant as he looked at the crowd. He shushed his alien companions. Agent Y was smiling and said, " We just pretend to be one of them."

" She's right," the MIB senior agent added. " I don't want anyone to blow our cover."

Torchwick came near to them as he really thought that he was talking to Junior and his henchmen. He gave them a devilish grin and greeted, " Hey Junior!! It's long time no see!! I thought you were in Lunar Max. How come did you bust out of jail?"

Agent P cleared his throat and acted like that person whom Torchwick called. He changed his gruff tone and said, " The Uranian and Neptunian rookies helped me out of prison. I have another recruit from planet Zartha."

" Zartha?"

" Yes, she's a spy and a thief," he answered and introduced the hooded lady. " She came here on Earth to give the Light."

" The Light of Zartha?" Torchwick glanced at them. " I thought it's from Princess Lauranna and her half-Earthling daughter."

" She stole it from them," the False Junior grinned as the Zarthan lady held the fake box which wasn't the light at all. It was a charm bracelet which had a micro camera and detector. It would probably wiretap the activities and conversation between the MIBs and the White Fangs. The hooded blonde lady opened the box and presented it to the red-headed Arachnidite and his associates. Torchwick smiled and nodded his head.

" Perfect!!" he tapped the undercover agent's shoulders. " I really like it, Junior. Your Zarthan girl is such a brilliant sleuth! But, there's only one thing that I want to get an information."

The Uranian pretended to cough as his Neptunian partner bumped his elbow.

" What?" he asked surprisingly. " AH..... 'Junior', what about us? We 'helped' you find this girl."

" Yeah, 'Junior'," the Neptunian said. " By the way, what is he talking about?"

Torchwick laughed at the Methane 'henchmen' and said, " You've replaced the Malachite Twins with these two ludicrous giants. Anyway, what I'm telling is the 200 year old mysterious Faunus weapon that we've been looking for. You know what I mean, It's a very important stuff that my cohorts are waiting for see it. I need the information about it."

The undercover MIB agents were glancing at each other. They seemed to be puzzled as they took several minutes in thinking. They nodded as they had made their minds to answer the Arachnidite's request.

" Well, I'll give you that information you want, " Agent P said in his grim expression. " But you have to tell us every detail about your next invasion on Earth. The Earthlings are afraid to see us destroying their world, because of our attacks."

" That's interesting then," Torchwick replied. " First, you have tell us the keeper of that cryptic stuff. Then, give us some clues how to destroy the two allied defenders. We want them to ditch them for good."

Agent Y clutched the fake Light of Zartha with her fingers as she observed and listened keenly during the conversation. This would help them to track the enemies. She pressed the button as the light emitted from its pieces. It was a signal detector. She turned around and made a subtle hand sign to the Methane Boys. Agent P glanced at her and he nodded. Roman Torchwick noticed their secret messages by their gestures.

" What's bothering all of you? " he turned to the glowing pieces of the Light of Zartha. " Oh, I didn't know that it's gleaming."

" It means that this world will explode," Agent Y said in her low pitch voice that seemed like a creepy old woman. " You will be happy if this planet will be destroyed."

Torchwick chuckled and grinned, " Well, that's a good thing to hear lady, but you have to give us the weapon before doomsday."

He never realized that he was being traced by the MIB and the SHIELD back-ups. The conversation was heard as they were thinking of their next move. They observed attentively from the video coming from the fake Light of Zartha. Having been silent, Agents UR and NE were picking up instructions from Agents F and May. They used their tiny headphones attached to their ears as they could listen to the instructions given to them. They pretended to cough and sneeze as the other two sleuths saw them.

" What's wrong boys?" P asked.

" We're allergic to evil White Fang Dust!!" the Uranian covered his nose.

" Yeah, we don't have that kind of stuff in my planet," the Neptunian added.

" What are you Methane henchmen talking about?" Torchwick laughed. " You have to get used with us. We're the bad guys, right?"

The Methane Boys eyed each other when they heard a female voice from their headphones.

" NE... Pretend that you sneeze again."

The Neptunian sneezed as his partner pinched his nose.

" Don't you ever do that?!" UR exclaimed. " You know what will happen if you sneeze."

" But, I feel like I'm going to blow."

Torchwick became distracted with the Methane Boys as he stood up and said, " Boys, you have a lot of learning to join with us. Junior will get embarrassed with your shortcomings."

The False Junior Xiong ended the conversation and said, " Anyway, I'll keep you in mind about that secret nuclear bomb from the Faunus race. We will stop those Earthlings' deeds just in case."

" Oh, sure thing. Make sure you teach your new henchmen and the Zarthan spy how to work with us from now."

The four undercover agents left the abandoned factory building when Cinder Fall and her father approached the Arachnidite. They were listening to their conversation a while ago, however they were not convinced as they found it doubtful. Their faces seemed disturbed.

" What's the matter?" he asked and shrugged. " Junior's going to help us get that stuff."

" I don't trust him, Roman," Cinder replied and turned to her father. " What are we going to do with them?"

Alpha smiled and said, " Well, dear. They are not one of us. I've sensed them, too."

" What are you two talking about?"

" Let's just say my father and I smelled something from them."

" But...."

" Can't you see, Mr. Torchwick? " Alpha stared at him. His critters giggled ridiculously at the red-headed Arachnidite. " I didn't know that you're such a gullible 8 armed specimen from your planetary race. I intended to hear your talks with that 'Junior'. He was not that person!!"

" It's true, father." Cinder agreed and punched her companion back. Roman Torchwick got terribly hurt. "He's one of the people who killed my mother!"

" I don't understand, Cinder, Mr. Alpha!"

" Let's just see that he's from the Men in Black."

" The Men in Black, Mr. Torchwick. He's one of Agent K's friends. He brought his youngsters to spy on us! He's tracking and making tactics against our activities!! He will probably hinder us to get the Faunus weapon!!"

" The real Junior Xiong is imprisoned at the Lunar Max."

Roman Torchwick couldn't believe the man was talking to a different person. He was unhappy to hear it. He released his other 6 arms and began to grab other things. He had hit Alpha's critters violently. They were screaming in pain. Alpha was mad and he grabbed Torchwick's arms.

" Mr. Torchwick! Enough of your odd antics!!"

" Roman, that's enough! You're hurting my father!"

" ALRIGHT!! I'M SORRY!! HE FOOLED ME!!" He looked at the fake Light of Zartha glowing on the table. He took it and he was about to crash it into pieces when Cinder had prevented him to do so. She stared at him seriously.

" Roman, we have plans for this prop," she grinned.

" What do you mean?"

" Let's just say, we need that thing for our next mission. Then, we can fool someone for our location."

Alpha was interested when he had another plan to destroy them all. He thought about the Grimms which he had taken in Remnant for his mutation experiments. He turned to his daughter and said, " Well, it looks like that I have a better plan to destroy those gumshoes away. We need a Grimm reinforcement!!"
