24 hours later.....
Nova stood alone by a busy road side. Her usual short red curls were hidden underneath a sleek blond wig which was styled in bangs and a top knot with a sleek pony tail that ran all the way to her butt.
It made a perfect frame for her face. Her white porcelain skin turned a healthy golden tan and her large hazel orbs had a golden tinge around the edges. Her cute lips were dyed in nude, and was donning a black satin dress adorned with pink flowers. All in all, she was breathtaking.
Talk about beauty that topple cities. Nova snickered in her head.
She was busy admiring her new look at glass the windows of salon and completely forgotten about her ride.
"Miss Elizabeth Walker?" A cab driver called rolling down the window of his car as he came to stop in front her.
"Excuse me miss, are you Miss Elizabeth Walker?" The poor guy called again a little bit louder this time when she didn't seem to hear him.
"Elizabeth Walker?"
"Huh?" Nova finally turned around to face him. "Oh yes, sorry. I was.... ahem." She bit back what she was about to say, she wasn't used to that name. She had just got it this afternoon afterall.
The polite driver help her load her bags in the car and started out to the address she showed him on her phone.
It has been a long, tiring day which she thoroughly enjoyed to the end. It's now time to focus on her mission which will take place this Saturday, a good six days from now. She planned to use the five days to get familiar with her new environment and identity. And make research on her target.
After a 20 minutes ride, the car jerked to a stop. She paid the driver, thanked him and left.
The apartment was as she'd seen on the photos. She kicked her high heels by the door and was about to start another happy dance when she heard commotion from the front door. She paused picking up voices before the door rang then it went silent.
Did elder Lee sent her a package? She didn't order anything, she had just arrived. When the door rang again, Nova grabbed a black pan from the kitchenette counter and approach the door.
Nova yanked the door open ready to take a swing but was shocked at the sight she beheld.
"What the he... "
"Good evening__"
"___Miss Nov.. Elizabeth. We apologize,"
"_____for dropping in,"
"____unannounced."
"Wu__eow."
Standing before her was a Maximus stuffed into an uncomfortably tight suit with gelled hair, a Maxim who had suddenly grew extra pounds in weight with a gelled hair as well and a gelled Maxwell with a voice changer clipped into his collar, shaved and dressed as a cat.
"Kill me now. Please."

Smack
..smack
...smack.
The sounds of fist colliding with a punch bag reverberated through out the training room each louder than the previous one. The poor bag squeaked against its wedge taking the ruthless pounding as the giant blows his steam off.
Duty patrol...
Boring.
Paperworks...
Boring.
Hanging out with the boys.....
Totally boring.
Punching the life out of the newly hanged punch bag, Oga was bored out of his mind instead of getting relief. Did he suddenly lost interest in everything?
He never thought being back at home would be this... uneventful. It was never like this four years ago before he left. Even on his harsh journey alone in the wild, he'd always have something that kept him going. What had changed while he was away?
A deep growl issued from the shirtless man with drops of water dripping down his ripped, black stained body covered in tattoos.
"Gaarrh!" Oga yelled suddenly out of nowhere, swinging a heavy punch at the bag which sent it flying across the room for good. He is going to loose his mind. Soon.
"Boss, is everything alright?"
"Peaches." He snarled at the nasally sound coming from the bench where one of his close buddies sat watching him closely.
"Right away." The guy jumped off his seat and ran off to get some peaches.
Oga realize that he wasn't just bored out of his mind, he was equally frustrated. He is after all surrounded by a bunch of idiots.
The terrified sound that came from the farthest corner of the empty room had his attention snapped in the direction.
Red shrank far back into it's cage staring back at him with wide eyes. The little red monkey he met and brought from Africa have so much resemblance with its namesake. He still couldn't understand why he brought it along, but it served as a good source of entertainment to him.
It has served its purpose the past few years, keeping him company when he was alone, but not anymore. Now that original item was within reach, he'd lost interest in the fake.
It has been 10 days since his return, and 5 five days since he met her that faithful night. During those five days, Oga asked to be assign to border patrol, claiming that as the next head, he needed to see all the changes that had taken place while he was away. But during all of his patrols, he didn't caught a single sight of her. Not that he wanted to, but it was unusual.
He'd only seen that frivolous auburn headed priestess that had been always stuck to her hips, several times. On normal occasion, she would be right behind her chatting animatedly untill she saw him and all the blood in her face would drain. Not that she had much with how pale she is to begin with. Oh, what a sight it was to behold.
Suddenly feeling frustrated, Oga grabbed a shirt by the bench and headed out. There is no use racking his brain over her. He can always check up on her. He even specifically told her to welcome him when she's more presentable. She dares to keep him hanging?
He walked to the white cage and took the monkey out. It's time for a stroll.
The more he thought about their encounter, the more irritated he becomes. His brows twitched in annoyance when a sudden thought crossed his mind. He asked her to come when she's more presentable and his boys had mentioned gifts too. Perhaps she is but busy trying to come up with a surprise for him.
Mhmmm. He like the sound of that.
Humming to himself, Oga left his room with a small smile playing on his lips.
He decided to not mess with her much when they met. But still, he'll pay her a surprise visit. Thus off he went to the temple.
All along the way, he could feel questioning eyes lingering on him but choose to ignore it. He is definitely feeling better, perhaps they sensed that as well.
