Somewhere around a museum at Score Islands, Briglon. Midnight 1:54 a.m.
"Oh Charlie, you cannot believe what I just saw today! I literally saw an idiot who cannot park their car easily, she just nearly crashed into someone!" The patrolling guard of the museum talking to his co-worker with his walkie-talkie. "She must be giving so much trouble for anyone, what a dumbo she is." His friend replied. But the walkie-talkie didn't give him any reply, something is wrong. "What the...Artie...? Hold on..." He left the security room and headed for his position.
"Oh god...we're gonna get fired." He saw his friend getting knocked out and completely naked hanging in the cellar. The artifact that they are guarding was stolen, and only one thing was left right in the container. A yellowish light-form dagger stood there, leaving a note saying: "Sharrow shall be receiving this gift."
"She appeared...AGAINNNN!!!!!!" The guard cried hopelessly.
Kingstown, Briglon...
Daniel just went back from Rockchester City. He had brought Tatha together with him and appointed her as his small assistant and partner. They already arrived a day before, they are at Daniel's own house.
"Micca! Did you got my coat washed?" Daniel was in the closet room. A catgirl with black and short hair in maid outfit came out, holding the coat he mentioned. "It's done, Daniel. How's the dressing going on inside?" She asked.
Micca Lienne, a catgirl maid. She possesed Fantasm. She is Daniel's personal maid, appointed by his leader John Harvey. She had served him for 2 years ever since he work under Harvey. Together they had developed a strong master and servant relationship to each other.
"I don't know, I need some of your opinions. Here!" He left the room, and show her what he wears.
He wears a very casual outfit, with just a light grey T-shirt with a SUBLINE word on it and black jeans. "Too casual, that's not like you!" She replied. "Oh Really? I thought it's alright!" He went back to the closet and redressed himself.
He came out again. This time he wears the outfit that is really looks like someone famous protagonist from a Briglish Sci-fi show. Micca shake her head after seeing him. "Too referencing! Just Bing! Like you use too!" She give him a hint. "Bing? Oh Bing! Alright there we go!" He went back to the closet again.
When he came out, Micca nods and felt satisfied. He wears a white blue shirt with blue stripes and long sleeves, a black vest and black cool sweatpants. He left the collar of his shirt opened a bit and loose, wearing navy blue high cut converse shoes.
"Yes, this is it. Perfect!" She help him to tidy up a bit. "Thank you, now that's what I call Bing!" He let a drone to dress his hair, making it more cooler than before.
He then proceed to the guest room.
"She's done or not?" He asked Micca. "I just gave her the clothes. She need some time..." She replied. He knocked the door. "Take your time, Tatha. I'll be seeing you at the tables!" He said. "Yes, Daniel!" She replied inside the room.
He went back to his office, sat down and look at the briefing system at his computer. "What? Nothing to do?" He was surprised and disappointed at the same time. "Bradley, is there anything wrong with the computer? It is very rare to see nothing at the system." He use his Macro Pen to check it. "Master, there is nothing wrong. You can leave it alone for now. You can relax a bit more, why not go out there yourself?" Bradley replied and asked.
"Well, it's not a bad thing. But the problem is where can I go for now...?"
Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello, this is Daniel speaking!"
"Ow! My dear nephew! It is Aunt Jessie speaking right here!"
"Oh Hello, Aunt Jessie! What's the matter?"
"Your uncle and I were at Score Islands, we are having a vacation here. Would you like to meet up with us? It's a long time we have never met, dear nephew."
"Sure! I am free for the time being. Oh, and I know you like kids. I have a small assistant you would like to meet!"
"Really? It must be a very cute child! I can't wait to see you! See you later then, Daniel!" She ended the call.
"Ah...just when I had nothing to do. Thank you Lord Jehvin." He walk to the doors. "Micca! I need you to pack up my clothes! I need to go visit my aunt who's having a vacation at Score Islands!" He called her. "Right away! By the way, your breakfast is ready!" She replied. "Right, thank you!" He flipped through the fence of the second floor and landed on the ground floor like nothing.
"Ah! Classic bacon and eggs, I like that!"
Just as he done thanking for the meal, Tatha had finished her dressings and came before him.
"Oh, look at you! Wonderful!" He stand up and came to her. She still wears her saggy hat, but with a brilliant dressing that when well with her hat. A long dark grey coat that is long till her knees, and a long sleeve white shirt with a dark green tie. Along with black colored skirt and black stockings, and finally a pair of white sand shoes.
"How do you feel wearing like this? Tatha?" He asked. "I feel like a student? But I like the dressing a lot." She replied and feel satisfied of her attire.
"Oh yes, Briglish JK! Well of course you're not old enough to be called JK...but! The whole uniform and attire really suits you a lot! Damn Micca had so many weird taste that I wouldn't blame..."
"You look so...mixed?" She just realized what he's wearing. "Oh, this? Oh yes! I always like to wear like this especially when your a fan of Lennon Davis and Adison Pete. My favorite actors by the way! You know a famous show? Professor Unknown? A sci-fi show? Oh Lennon and Adison is so brilliant when they are the 10th and 5th professor!"
"Uh...He He He...I don't know..." She smiled. "Oh...I forgot not everyone like the show...especially the newest series where Julie White tried her best but ruined by an arrogant writer. Well sorry, I got a bit far! So Tatha, come on! After breakfast, we're going to somewhere!" He led her to the tables.
"Really? Where are we going?" She sat down and asked.
"Score Islands."
"What's there?"
"My aunt and uncle is having a vacation there. I want to meet them, and maybe introduce you to them."
"You have families? I never know!" She felt a little sad when she said it. Daniel saw her expressions, he knew it's something that a orphan wishes for. "Oh don't be sad about this, there is one thing I always do for orphans like you...make you feel like I'm part of your family. I can be an elder brother that you would always like to have, would you like to?" He cheered her up.
Tatha was slightly happier when she heard him. "Of course. I won't lie to a child." He replied with a smile.
Right when they finished, a sound came from the workshop.
"Oh! It's done! Come on, Tatha!" He holds her hand and brought her into the workshop.
"What is this?" She asked when she saw a machine controlled by Bradley had just created something. "That, is your Macro Pen." He replied and went to take it out from the machine, he then give it to her.
"Everything is the same as mine, except that I had removed the dagger function cause it's not child-friendly. There you go! Your own Macro Pen! It will help you a lot!"
"Really? T-thank you! I like this pen!" She fell in love immediately with the light green Macro Pen she have. "Bradley's backup will help you with the whole tutorial of using it, anywhere and anytime you wanted to learn." He explained about the pen. "Right! Wait aren't we about to go to Score Islands?" She asked. "Oop, almost forgot! Come on, Micca might already be done with the packings." They leave the workshop and arrived at the garage. "It is all complete, Daniel. Hope you both had a safe trip." Micca awaited them. "Thank you, sorry for leaving so soon again. We'll be back, Micca." He thanked her. "I'll wait for sure, just take care of yourself and don't do dumb things." She replied. "Oh, definitely!" He then started the engine of his truck and enters it.
"Tatha, take care of yourself too. Have fun." Micca said to her. "I will, Ms. Lienne!" She went into the truck as well. They begin their next journey, to Score Island.
Score Island is a seaside city of the north side of Briglon. It is named after the 2nd king of the Briglish empire for its surrounding islands that were habitat with a rich ecosystem. It is a very beautiful place for tourism, with one of the best resorts, attractions, and places in Briglon.
"Daniel, what kind of person that your aunt is?"
"Oh, she's very kind and responsible. She likes to make friends and venture into the world as well, she is very outgoing. She really likes kids just like me, she would love you."
"But what does she look like?"
"Ah, Tatha. I must say to you that she might not be the normal woman you've seen out there. She would look very young to you and might be very surprising to you. Cause my mother and my aunt were the same to have a unique look, that I don't know how my dad and uncle could get away from the law..."
"Unique...away from the law?" She is confused. But when she arrived at the resort they were meeting up, she is shocked, confused, and gasped. She finally understands what he meant.
"Hello! Daniel, my dear nephew!" A young girl aged just like Tatha ran towards them. She too had a child's voice and she had ginger short hair.
"Hello! Aunt Jessie! Hello! Uncle Keat!" He hugged her like he is holding a child.
"Hello, Mrs. Jessie..." Tatha cannot accept her appearance.
"Oh hello, little one! You must be the assistant that Daniel told me about! Come here." She hugged her when she got down from her nephew. Tatha cannot express anything when she is hugging a child-size adult. "Daniel, can we meet later at the diner again? Your uncle and I had to go to the museum first, and I supposed you had some of your own things to do. So we have to part ways here, but I would see you all tonight!" She told her nephew. "Oh, it's alright. I have some other places in Score Island to show Tatha. I'll be expecting the dinner." He replied.
"We are going then, see you later. Daniel." Keat said. "Yep, our cab is here. See you later everyone!" Jessie said. "See you later, Aunt and Uncle!" He help them to open the taxi door and said. The couple left the resort, with Daniel and Tatha staying on the ground. "Let's go, Tatha. We have to check in." He led her into the resort.
They arrived at their separate rooms. Tatha ran to the balcony of her room, seeing the great view of the city right in front of her sight. Daniel came out to his balcony, and seeing her happy makes him happy as well.
"Daniel, your aunt..." She asked him.
"Welcome to a world full of odds and fantasies, Tatha. My mother and Aunt are born to have genetic defections. Causing they can only grow like a 12-year-old kid, so basically my aunt is already 49 years old. Don't worry, you are not like them. You are safe to be growing like normal people." He explained to her.
"Well, that's good to hear..."
"We better get a nice nap, cause we have a night to spend. See you later Tatha!" He then walk back into his room and went straight to bed. "See you, Daniel." She too went in to her room and have a nap.
Soon, night time has arrived. They are ready for the dinner tonight. They are actually invited by Jessie to join a special formal party to celebrate their wedding anniversary trip.
Daniel dressed up a bit formal with a great set of navy blue suit and wine red tie, but he still wears his converse. While Tatha chooses to not wear her hat, wearing a beautiful dress at the same time.
"You look amazing tonight, Milady."
"The same goes to you, Sire."
They laughed at their short roleplay.
"Hey! You all forget about me!" Bradley showed up with a formal dress as well. "Look at me, Master! I too was a pretty lady!" She said. "Oh, oh yes. You are pretty as well. Why don't you both stand together and let me take a photo?" He took out his phone. Bradley quickly dragged Tatha together, ready to take one. "Alright, cheese!" He took a picture for the two. They then proceed to the dining hall.
They arrived. Seeing Jessie's friend were all enjoying the party. Everyone is having fun and talking throughout the whole place.
"Ah! My dear nephew and his little assistant! Welcome!" Jessie greeted them. "Happy wedding anniversary, aunt. Here, this is a gift for you." He help her to wore a special bracelet. "Oh! I like this! You made it yourself?" She is happy about the gift. "Oh but too bad, our museum tour is cancelled due to some incidents. However, we went for the seas! I say it's a good return." She said. "Oh that's a pity..." Daniel felt sorry but felt suspicious about it. He then went to somewhere private and look at his phone, while Tatha and Bradley were enjoying the party. He saw the news saying about the museum that his aunt wanted to visit just experienced a stealing crime. He saw the news stated that the dagger that was left in the scene was disappeared shortly after the guard saw it. He knew who it is immediately.
The party is going alright. But...
"Tack!!!" The electricity suddenly went out, leaving everyone in darkness. Everyone is panic, but not for Daniel. He then used his Macro Pen to reactivated power. Lighten up the hall again.
"Oh...fun is over so soon..." A masked woman who wears like an assassin and voiced heavily showed up on the ceiling. Daniel seems to knew this person and he stared at her very pissed. "Too bad, I might need something from you, Miss." She suddenly grabbed Jessie in surprise, and swing onto the cellar lamp. "Help! Help me!" She was calling for help. "Jessie! Hold on!" Keat was trying to save her.
"Uncle, leave this to me!" Daniel came below her. "Hello, Sharrow! What do you want from us?" He started the conversation. "You seem to know me. Well, I saw the jewelry she have on her and her friends. And I supposed that she must give it all to the poor, cause a lot of people needed money to survive, think about it, fancy boy!" She replied to him like an insult.
"Oh really? Do you know how she gets them? Let me tell you how this child-looking woman got the riches and jewelry she deserved for herself! She worked very hard, honestly, and endure a lot of things in her life and earned the love and riches today! That is her belongings she had the right to keep them! It is also the same thing that she helps me through some of my times!" Daniel yelled at her.
"Yeah! Jessie is the great wife I ever had! She deserved it! You ugly-looking bird mask thief!" Keat was angry.
"Hmph...how righteous and touching. Unfortunately, I don't care. I will still get them." She still continues her act.
"Oh yeah? Tatha. Do it." Daniel is calm and told Tatha.
"Oh, okay! Hmph!" She used her Macro Pen and points at the bracelet that Jessie was wearing. The bracelet was activated and released a powerful shock. "UGH!!!" It affects Sharrow and causes her to drop Jessie. "WAH!!!!!" She fell right into his nephew's hands. "It's alright, Aunt Jessie! I got you safe and sound." He put her down and let his uncle take care of her.
"Tch...!" Sharrow regain herself from the shock. "Fine! Whoever you are! I will be sure that you won't get me next time! They can keep their belongings to themselves for today!" She then escaped by a quick swift, leaving everyone. "Oh no no no, I will get you. I can never forget what you've done to me before, Sharrow." Daniel muttered.
"Daniel! You made something bad as a gift! This is not good!" Jessie lectured him. But he just stands there and doesn't explain himself. "But...you're a good boy indeed. Your gift saved me, and it is also a very beautiful gift. I like that how it's pretty and useful as protection." She gave him a kiss. "You're my dear aunt that help me through some of my times, I must make sure that you're protected. Plus, even without our activation, the bracelet will work as its own. You'll be fine from now on." He replied.
Tatha doesn't know anything about Daniel's past. But she felt happy about him being grateful and loving his aunt. "Come here, Tatha. You too are a good girl." She kissed her as well. The party ended earlier because of the sudden incident where Sharrow strikes.
"Daniel. Who is this Sharrow? You seem to know her." Tatha asked him while they are soaking their feet and relaxing at the poolside.
"She is a thief, the Queen of Thieves. A woman who stayed beside the King of Thieves. She is an old enemy since before I'm a Disciple. She is the very first target for me to arrest at that time but was easily defeated by her. I can never forget that mask and the deep voice that makes her sound like an evil spectre. She is cunning, powerful, and unreasonable. I cannot believe that we will meet again right here. And this time, I will not let her get away easily."
Tatha saw the face of anger that she once saw before again. Making her to questioning, what Sharrow did to him in his younger days. But she just keeps it herself and holds his hands. Daniel realized that he is showing rage, and started to chill a bit. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be angry about this. Well, maybe we can go check around the city tomorrow?" He apologized and asked. They all stand up together.
"Emm...Maybe, but..." She suddenly pushed him, making him lose his balance, and fell into the pool. "WAH!!! You are...Oh, come on! Your turn! HAHAHA!!!" He came out from the water and hugged her into the pool. "AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" She splashes the water on him. "HO HO HO HO!!! No No No!!!" He did the same. They all have fun in the pool, spending a good evening.
Somewhere around the Score Islands, a college...
Inside an apartment, a group of 19 year old girls was watching the classic Professor Unknown episodes together. "My oh my, Tim Taker episodes were so good..." One of them said. "Yeah, but I must say Joe Artwee is not bad as well..." Another one said it too. "True, but to me Adison Pete had the best." The other one said it too.
"THUMP!" They heard something together. "What is that?!" They all were shocked. Soon, something knocked on their door. "Ai, Uchi...I'm scared..." One of them was terrified about the knocking. "Don't worry...It's not the aliens of course..." They went to the door together and opened it.
"Ehem! Girls! I thought we'd said that you'll not disturb anyone with that TV show of yours!" It was the apartment guard. "Uh Ha Ha Ha, It's okay. We're sorry for raising our voices too much! Sorry Ha Ha Ha..." The one named Ai replied to them. "No more chances next time! Or I will take that TV away from you! Three idiots! Sanharanese are annoying!" He then closed the door and left.
"Phew, we got away again."
"I thought you lower the volume already, Yuka!" Ai said. "I'm sorry, but what is that sound before the door knocks?" The girl named Yuka apologized and asked. "Don't know...Maybe it's just a bird passing by..." The girl named Uchi then pulled the curtains. "Come on, no more shows. We have classes tomorrow..." She then hops into bed. "Ow...I want to watch it..." Yuka was not happy. "Sorry, gotta sleep. Uchi is right, just switch it off and come on." Ai then went to bed as well. "Ugh, fine! Here I come!" She switches off anything and leaps into the middle of the 3-person bed. "OW! Yuka!" Uchi and Ai felt the pain of her slam. "HAHAHA! Sorry!" She apologized.
The 3 girls then sleep peacefully together, calling that a night.
They didn't see the one who made the sound, it was Sharrow...She crouched right at the balcony fences, gazing at the city.
"Oh, I'm not done yet..." She mutters
