The people of Acropolis run about the street roads, "It's the law director's daughter's rabbit again! He'll destroy this city eventually!" One of the passersby shouted and observed Nantes wreaking havoc.
Nantes continued running on his hands and feet like a quadrupedal, swinging his arms and smashing the parked vehicles.
Nantes bounced on the buildings' walls, running on them, and climbed on the rooftops to find zibberind.
One of the world government's officers reached out for his radio, supported by his troops, "Security check at station 104!" Another officer picked up the radio near the academy, "The suspect is currently rampaging through district 207, near the Central Valley Academy, heading for district 214, over!"
The officer turned to look at his troops, "Any wounded civilians, over?" He waited for a response, "One major injury. The ambulance has been sent, over."
The officer put the radio on his belt and commanded, "Prepare defenses! We're about to come in contact with the suspect!" The commanding officer waited for other officers, "Affirmative!"
Timothy rushed through the street and came across the same group of officers preparing to create a defense line. Suddenly Nantes came bulldozing from the rooftops and sprinted above the officers. "There you are! You humanoid rabbit!" Timothy jumped high into the air and landed on top of the police car's hood, surprising the officers.
"Stop in the name of the law! Proceed any further and will be forced to restrain you!" The officer ordered, pointing his finger at Timothy.
Timothy looked at them, "Sorry, officer! But leave the rabbit to me." He crouched on the car's bonnet, placed his palm there, and gathered orange flames in and around it. He then ignited the engine and flew into the air while using the fire to propel himself through the air.
The officers followed his movement and reached for the radio, "New suspect spotted. Send backup immediately! Over!" The officer glanced into the distance, seeing Timothy using fire to blast his way through the air.
He darted high above Nantes' head, lifted his arms above his head, and stopped the fire from flaring, "Here I come, rabbit!" He dove down at an incredible pace and latched onto Nantes' long ears, "Gotcha now!"
Nantes seemed infuriated, trying to shake Timothy off while speeding over the roofs, until suddenly descending into the street, "Whoa! Slow down!" Timothy shouted, barely managing to hold onto Nantes' ears.
Upon Nantes' landing in the middle of the street, he demolished the road and blew away the vehicles, "How much power does one rabbit possess?!" Timothy wondered, flailing behind Nantes rapidly.
He continued riding Nantes' ears like a horse, taking several corners and trying not to get hit by an oncoming car, "Slow... Slow down! R-Rabbit!" Timothy yelled, but nothing worked.
"F-Fine! If that's how you're gonna play-!" Timothy seared his hands on fire, began burning the rabbit's ears, and scorched his skin, but Nantes seemed unfazed by it.
"Ha?! Oi! Is your skin made out of rocks?!" Timothy questioned, repeatedly trying to burn Nantes, but it didn't even set a tiny part of his skin on fire.
Nantes seemed irritated more than hurt. He extended his arm behind his shoulders, grabbed Timothy's shoulders, "Oh... I don't like where this is going..." and suddenly ripped Timothy's body apart.
Timothy's body detached from Nantes' ears and molded itself into the orange fire that spiraled back into the middle of the street. He shifted himself back to his human body and observed Nantes sprinting into the distance. "Damn it! I can't catch up to him!" Timothy shouted but suddenly heard a female voice, "Throw her!"
Timothy looked behind and noticed a blue dagger flying toward him. He got scared momentarily after suddenly catching an odd blade in his right hand, "Uh... a dagger?" He looked into it, suddenly hearing the same voice behind him, "Will you hurry up and throw her?!"
Timothy flinched for a moment, seeing a girl running behind him, and jostled his head to focus on the job at hand, "O-Oh, right!" He took a long stride forward before drawing the dagger from his back and hurling it at Nantes.
He gave it a blazing boost to accelerate through the air at faster velocity and watched as it whirled into the air, catching up to Nantes. It splintered into smaller fragments, shaping a feminine body that arose from the bright flames.
"A girl?! D-Did I... Did I just throw a girl?!" Timothy queried, startled by what he experienced in front of him.
The girl was able to make a significant impression on Nantes' physique and cause uncontrollable road shaking. After witnessing the girl slamming her palms into Nantes' back and driving him to the ground because of the increased speed of Timothy's flames, he became speechless.
Nantes transformed back into a plushie.
The girl he observed seemed short. She had long-straight white hair with a black ahoge growing from the front of her hair past her face. She wore a black, off-hand jacket with a white neck turtle and blue jean shorts.
Timothy reached with his palm behind his back and scratched in bewilderment, "A female... blade? That's something I haven't seen before..." Timothy added as the second girl stepped next to him.
She was the same height as the girl Timothy tossed, but wore a white jacket with a black turtleneck and had long black hair with a white ahoge.
Timothy looked at the girl next to him and leaned his palm on his right hip, "I'm guessing you threw the dagger?" He inquired, allowing the girl to exchange eyes with him.
"Sure did, big bro." Timothy became astonished, frozen in place, and backed away, "Cassidy?! It's you?! T-That means," He returned his gaze to the girl he threw, "Trinity?!" Trinity stepped in front of him with a stoic expression, "Yo."
Timothy blinked multiple times in astonishment, "You look so different since the last time. W-What happened?! And how are you able to transform into a blade, Trinity?" Timothy continued throwing looks between them, feeling more confused than before.
Cassidy raised his finger, swaying it left and right, "You developed your abilities, and we developed weapons, which we can transform into. Quite simple if you ask me, Timmy." Timothy looked at them, speechless, "I won't lie... You have a weird imagination, but it's better than having none... I guess." Timothy claimed, suddenly noticing Chiaki and Aurora running closer to them.
"What were you thinking? I told you to stay out of trouble, Tim." Aurora called, Chiaki running next to her, "Erm, Tim... Who are these two?" Chiaki asked, looking at Trinity and Cassidy. "They are... my younger sisters I kept telling you about, Chiaki." Chiaki became amazed and stepped in front of them, "So, you were the sisters Tim told me about when we were younger. It's great to finally meet you in person." Chiaki smiled, and so did Cassidy.
"You had a cute friend? And you never introduced me to her? Some manners, Timmy." Cassidy answered, crossing her arms, "I... I had reasons... So, what exactly are you two doing here?"
Trinity looked at him, "We were trying to find the Cyber Refuge. Rumors claim it's somewhere deep underwater on the eastern side of the Vast Expanse. That's the only reason why we stopped here in Acropolis." Suddenly the officers arrived and surrounded them, "You! White-haired boy! You're under arrest!"
Timothy became startled, "What?! Why?! I helped you stop that rabbit!" He pointed behind his arms, revealing the plushie, "Due to disobeying the police force's orders, destroying a police mobile and wreaking havoc among the city."
Timothy's arms dangled in front of his knees, "You've gotta be kidding me..." Trinity and Cassidy looked at him, "Wow. Great job, Timmy. You never cease to surprise me." Cassidy exclaimed, laughing.
