"HQ to Team 3, As you've proven that you are unable to contain The anomaly that escaped from Montana, we have decided to send in a specialist. He will be taking over your team from now on. We have given him the best equipment possible to aid him in his mission. Be sure to follow any and all orders from him until that anomaly is secured. His code name is Site-Bomb. Good luck team. HQ out"
"As you've all heard, I'll be your new commanding officer. I am going to have to ask you all to do your jobs exactly how I say them. Failure to comply with my orders may result in your immediate termination. Now I know it took me a little bit longer to get here than what you were expecting. But that was because I was doing something that I would have expected your team to do.
As you are probably aware, there has been a large amount of disappearances around this town recently. Are any of you aware of the similarities between these disappearances? Well let me tell you. All of the victims of these disappearances were Killed in their homes before mysteriously vanishing. All of the homes had the victim's blood on the walls and floor of the home as well. So now you may be thinking... 'what does this have to do with us?' Well...
There was also one more detail that ties these cases together.
All of the home had a noticeable amount of white fur strewn about the home. And as far I know, none of the victims owned any pets.
I'm sure you are able to follow what I'm saying, correct?
Heh, Don't look so surprised just yet. I have even better news than a simple deduction."
Site-Bomb reaches into his jacket and pulls out a photo before presenting it to the team.
"You see this right here. After you let the Anomaly escape, it was picked up by this girl. Unfortunately this photo only covers the top of her head but that's enough. From this, I can deduce that this girl is most likely in high school. If we can find this girl, we will be able to recover the dog as well.
"Do you understand?" Site-Bomb asks the team.
"Yes sir" They all respond.
"Good. Then why are you still standing here? Split up and maintain surveillance on every high school within this city. Find that girl and find out where she lives." Site-bomb states as he begins to leave. "Meeting adjourned."

"Woah, That's amazing!" Rio exclaims as he watches his body become lighter.
His senses were much more alert than they were before. and he was much faster on his feet as well. He was at least faster than a normal human now.
Unfortunately, his strength was still lacking. He was about as strong as a toddler. But that could be solved as he looked towards his next milestone.
"1000 huh? That's quite a lot, but if this doubles my power again, I would eventually be able to reach inhuman levels of power."
Rio looks at the ground in thought for a moment before looking up at the sky.
"As much as I would like to get started right away, 100 disappearances is a bit much. I should lay low for a while until the news forgets about them. I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself."
Rio returns back home where only Rachel's mother is home. Rachel had already left to go to school and her father was at work.
Rio sits himself down and watches the mother clean the kitchen as she prepares dinner for her family before they get home. She looked so happy when she was working. It was as if she put her heart and soul into her craft.
Rio had to admire the woman. She was quite beautiful and had a wonderful figure as well. She was in her mid 30's but she still had a nice figure and her skin was smooth as silk.
She looks behind her for a moment as if she could feel Rio watching her. She gives the dog a quiet smile before returning to her work.
Rio's heart would have skipped a beat if he was still human.
He couldn't help but stare at her as the mother continued to cook.
And soon his eyes began to lower as his body began to relax.
He figured that he could take a quick nap until Rachel returned from school.
He had been staying with the family for a few months now and had grown quite close with the young girl.
Talking with her made him feel as if he was with his own daughter. He couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity and it was as if he and the girl were connected by something.
And being with the family had its advantages. He was able satisfy his immense hunger without much worry, and to top if off. He finally had a comfortable place to rest.
Rio was woken from his nap by the sound of someone entering the house. He quickly got up and waited in front of the door.Rachel walked in and Loudly shut the door behind her. Her face was sullen and she seemed distracted."How was school today?" her mother asked.Rachel simply shook her head and went to her room.Her mother sighed before returning to her work."What's wrong with her?" Rio wondered."Don't worry about her boy, She gets like that from time to time." The mother reassured Rio after seeing his worried pacing.This was the first time he had seen her so down. She was usually cheerful and upbeat."Maybe I should go check on her. Maybe I can cheer her up?"He waddles over to her bedroom and kicks the door lightly."Hello?"There was no answer.Rio tries again but the room is silent.Gathering some boxes and chairs that he found upstairs, Rio makes for the doorknob.He tries as best as he can with his small body but the door is locked."You can't keep me out forever." Rio says
The Creature roared as it stared down at Rio.Its voice was like thunder and echoed throughout the whole building.It's appearance was something of a nightmare. Its body was a pale white, with long sharp nails and a tail that stretched behind it. It had four arms, each ending in a hand, and its feet ended in black talons as well. Each of its limbs took on the form of a different animal, and it seemed to shift every few seconds. At one moment, Rio would be looking at a bird-like arm, then he would be seeing the back end of a dog, and next thing he knew, Rio would be looking at two legs that resembled a horse.Rio stood in awe at the creature before him, and tried his best to not show any signs of fear or hesitation, which proved to be difficult since he was staring directly into the creature's ever changing eyes."Emergency Mission from Alberoth: Escape!"Rio began to think about how to get away from the beast but time was not a liberty that he would be granted.With a blood curdling s
Rio Didn't want to admit it but he knew exactly what that meant."No... It can't be.." Rio said sadly."Rachel?"He couldn't believe it.The thought that Rachel was actually the monster rampaging in front of him was hard to comprehend. But there was no doubt in Rio's mind. It was her.He didn't know how she ended up like this but he couldn't help but worry.He couldn't just leave her like this.He had to save her.Jeremy had finished drawing his next chalk monster and Rio wasted no time sending it towards Rachel followed by Vector.It seemed like a waste of time but they had to try it.The chalk drawing jumped right at her while Vector leaped above her head and brought his knees down on her.Using his weight he slammed into her head while the drawing restricted her movement.But as expected, she was completely unharmed and easily knocked Vector right out of the air.She then used a snake-like arm to wrap around the drawing, squeezing tightly until it shattered.Rio's eyes widened as h
He was awoken a few hours later by the sounds of chatter around him. He opened his eyes to find A group of armored men with various tools entering the room.They hadn't noticed him underneath the rubble yet but He knew they would if he stayed for any longer than he already had.He dropped both Zack and Vectors bodies into the void to recover and wait for a chance to escape. He needed to chase after the man from earlier as fast as he could. Just knowing that Rachel was in his hands filled Rio with anger as he gained a new mission."Take out your anger on the agents"Rio had no problem accepting this mission and quickly gave up his plans to escape unnoticed.As far as Rio could tell, there were about five men inside of the building."These men must have been related to the guy that took Rachel."Rio could feel the rage burning deep within him as he considered how to dispatch this group.A head on attack was definitely a no go, and with his two fighters out of commission and no space for
"Site-bomb to HQ, I've successfully secured the target. I'll begin transferring the beast to a temporary site. until a containment chamber can be arranged.From what I saw, This beast has quite a bit of bite to it. Might need a stronger unit to hold the little bugger.""HQ to Site-Bomb, good job on the retrieval mission. You were as quick as usual.I'm sending you some more personnel to assist you in holding this beast down until we can get a proper containment unit for the subject.And make sure to be extremely cautious, The subject has already escaped once before.""Don't you worry about that. I'll make sure to keep all eyes on the prize 24/7""Understood, we expect nothing less of you. HQ out.""Now then, we wouldn't want you waking up prematurely now would we."Site-Bomb injects Rachel with a sedative as he takes her to a small white room. The room contains only a shoddy looking bed with 5 cameras hanging from the ceilings.There's a camera in each corner and another directly in t
The group drives down the highway towards Mount Konte while thinking back to his time in the facility, remembering the days when he worked there as a researcher.He was in charge of a number of abnormalities. None of them were very dangerous but if even one of them were released, it could shift the balance of the planet.He never really cared about any of the intricate workings of the Order but now that he was going to fight against them, It wouldn't hurt to borrow some of his old toys.There was one abnormality that he knew he needed for himself above all others.It was one that he had discovered only one year into his tenure as a researcher.He had been tasked alongside his fellow researchers with investigating a case involving a known group that rivalled the Order.The group in question had a reputation for making use of Monsters and Abnormalities in their quest for power. Rather than keeping the abnormalities from impacting the world, they would actively use them to manipulate the
Arriving at their destination, Rio and Vector ditch their car and begin walking into Mount Konte.The Facility that they were looking for was stationed at the base of the largest of the mountains, with the only entrance being located at the mountain's peak.Rio and Vector take a moment to catch their breath and survey the area before moving forward.Looking around at his surroundings Rio notices that Mount Konte seemed to be devoid of all plant life.As he continues to walk he is surprised by how different the land was compared to his memory. He remembers seeing green trees and plants everywhere he looked and now he was surrounded by nothing but bare rock.He stops and looks at the ground and is shocked to see a trail leading further into the mountain range."That's odd, Why would there be a trail all the way out here?" Rio ponders why that would be but decides to ignore it for now. There seemed to have been quite a time gap between now and when he was last here. He figured he might a
After walking for nearly half an hour, the path began to become rocky and uneven. Rio had remained vigilant all the while but he was starting to get worried, and his unease was growing with each step.His senses were telling him to turn back but had no choice but to press on. He was going to get into that facility no matter what.After another half hour, he was about halfway up the mountain when he finally came across something.Hanging off to the side of the mountain was a large collection of leaves, branches, and stones.It was large enough to fit an adult male inside of it. As soon as Rio spots this, he feels his heart skip a beat as he can hear the sound of something flying above him. Turning his body, He stares into the sky to see what had passed him.Hovering in the air was a human figure with a pair of wings protruding from her arms.She looked to be a young girl with blue hair and a white dress.She was flying in a circle above the ground and seemed to be analyzing Rio.As sh
