"Get ready, the target in heading your way."

Standing in the top of a building, sniper rifle on a tripod on the edge was Officer Rojo Santo. Eyes locked onto the scope of the sniper, the end of an alleyway held his undivided attention. The lack of blinks irritating his eyes, yet he ignored it as he focused.

Woman: "We'll see you when you get back home sweetie~"

The distance faded out voice lingered through his mind bring a warm wetness to his eyes. Swiftly wiping them, he returned to focusing on his targeted location.

Rojo: "This ends today."

ZHA: [Lexi's POV]

Ever since the chaos that occurred at the school, Principal Peckos made sure the injured students were in good care before appearing to the public. As you could imagine, seeing an adorable Scarlett Macaw confused most of the citizens. It took him transforming into his blazing Phoenix form for people to listen to him. While he was busy addressing the public, I was told to not leave school grounds. Of course after what had happened, the only thing I could think of doing is going after Lance. Unfortunately, I'm being kept under heavy watch by the teachers for some reason.

Hearing about how the police are hunting down Lance had me too antsy to sit still. I had to get out and clear my mind somehow. Walking back into the ruins of the Battle Arena, I stared out at the destruction Lance had caused. How did this happen? How did things go so wrong? Thinking back, I felt there was something off about Lance for some time. S-So why didn't I do anything? Why did I let things get this far?

[Shinge~]

W-Wait? Is that? Walking out into the field, I catch sight of something mixed up in the rubble. After a bit of digging, I found Lance's portable whiteboard I gifted him last Christmas. It was a bit dirty but it was still in good shape. I just can't believe it survived everything that happened.

Lexi: "Lance... Please be okay."

Heading back to the Nurse's office, I found Principal Peckos chatting with some people. A-Are those-? They're other birds~! The first one he was talking to was a small Sun Conure Parrot, it's so cute~ The one next to it was a large black Parrot with a long red tail, I'm not sure but I think it's a Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo. Beside them were Slipstream, another man with long black hair and some metal eyes. He was wearing a tight white shirt and a red collar with a long ribbon trailing behind him.

Red Tape: Age: 39, Eyes: Unidentified, Hair: Long black, Height: 5'10, Weight: 198 lbs

Red Tape: "Understood Sir."

Slipstream: "I understand sir."

Principal Peckos: "I'm counting on the four of you. Make sure you get Lance as quickly as possible."

Wait, what?! With an audible gasp I caught their attention but before I could do anything, the psycho doctor's assistant launched out of wherever she was pinning me to the ground and covering my mouth with her hands. Pressing her whole body on mine, she was hunched over me. Her larger breasts pressing onto my body, her warmth overwhelming me as her breath drew closer and closer until her lips were pretty much touching my ear. With a silent wisp, she spoke into my ear.

Ximena: "No talking~ You need your rest."

Lexi: "Hrm!"

Not wanting her to go much further I decided to just obey. With a pat to the head, Ximena lifted herself off me and helped me back up to my feet. She then dug her hand into my mouth and forced it open as she pulled out a flashlight and peered into my throat. As sudden as this was, I just played along as this girl is super weird to begin with. After a bit, she pulled her hand out and pressed her finger to her lips.
