In the meantime, the group was traveling around the world, Fang and the others were protecting Marlene and Elmyra.
Inu and Dino were playing with Marlene outside while Jinx was selling the flowers they plucked from the field with Fang sitting with Elmyra in the living room when Elmyra says, "Thank you for all your work."
"Don't worry about it we are here to keep you safe after all," says Fang as he was sitting with his back against the wall so he could look outside.
"Do you think anything will happen in the near future?" asks Elmyra as Fang nods.
"Yes, they know that you are Aerith's mother. They even know that Marlene is Barret's daughter. Sooner or later they will appear to take both of you as hostages against the group," says Fang as he was quite sure about it.
He let go of his cup of tea as he heard some rotations of a motor and says, "I think they are already here."
Elmyra became nervous as she and Fang went outside. Dino and Inu see Fang and knew something was up. Both take Marlene and return to the house.
Once there Fang pets Marlene's head and says, "How about you and Elmyra go and cook something nice for us."
Marlene nods happily not knowing what was going on around her as Elmyra takes her inside and they go into the kitchen and started to prepare to cook so Marlene would concentrate on cooking for now.
"They are already here," says Dino as both he and Inu turned into their Mega-Level becoming Wargreymon X and Metalgarurumon X.
They stood there ready while Fang was suddenly surrounded by white energy making his Human-Beast form appear as his body suddenly had white fur all over it except for his face and torso looking almost like a Saiyan that was in SSJ4 without pants.
'They are here,' says Fang to Jinx telepathically so she knew what was going to happen.
They walked a bit forward so they wouldn't have to fight near the house while Fang takes a stone with a rune on it and placed it against the door of the house making it disappear from their eyes.
"It seems he gave you some good runes before leaving," says Inu as Fang nods.
"He wanted them safe after all. But we will have to leave Midgar it seems," says Fang as it was too dangerous for both to stay in Midgar.
Shinra troops led by a man with long black hair and a tilak on his forehead. The three see them and Inu asks, "Should I blow them away?"
"Not yet," says Fang as he takes more stones out with the same runes on them and throws them towards the flower fields.
"Why throw them to the flower field?" asks Dino confused.
"To not destroy the fields. I know that we all are powerhouses and could just destroy them with a swing," says Fang as his armor appears on his body.
The Shinra troops arrived at the bridge that leads to the house as they find the three on the other side.
They didn't know what to do when the long-haired man came forward and says, "We are here for a girl and a woman. Leave now before you make yourself a powerful enemy."
"You think you are strong?" asks Dino as he walked over and shouts at them making the troops fall over themselves.
Seeing that made Inu and Fang smile as Fang hits his knuckles against each other while Inu prepared his weapon to shot when Fang walks forward and says, "Leave now or die. We are here to protect the people you want and we won't show mercy."
A Helicopter tried to sneak past them when Inu shots without looking up hitting and freezing it as it falls from the sky when a woman crashes through the Helicopter making it explode.
The woman was in red armor as she was surrounded by fire with red wings coming out of her back. She landed beside the group while the helicopter landed on a flower field surprising everyone when they see the flower field not ruined.
"You began without me," says Jinx as she looked at the three.
"They tried to sneak past us so I intervened," says Inu as he looked at the Shinra troops and the long-haired man.
"So do we fight or do you leave?" asks Fang again as the troops wanted to leave while the man smiled.
"So you are going to fight Shinra. Do you think you can scare us away after such a performance," says the man as he gives the order and shouts, "Charge!"
"He thinks we have staged the incident," says Fang as he smiled.
"It seems so," says Dino as the Shinra troops ran towards them.
Fang takes two steps to reach max speed and jumped at his first opponent grabbing him by the leg to throw him into the mass before Dino follows by spiraling through the mass killing many of the troops as his golden armor was now red from all the blood.
Jinx followed by creating a Fire Beam that came out of her mouth grilling the troops making the man see his mistake as he tried to run only to find the exit blocked by a wall of ice.
"Where are you going?" asks Inu who was leaning against the wall.
"What are you?" asks the man as Inu smiles.
"I'm just a pet," says Inu as the man turned pale when he sees Inu's gun pressed against his head.
"Don't kill him, we need answers," says Fang as he sees Inu.
"It seems you were saved by the bell," says Inu as he points his gun away towards the remaining troops and shoots at them freezing them to death.
Fang grabs the man and says, "You will answer my question. I will let you leave after we are done and you are still alive."
Then he drags him away while saying, "Clean that up before Marlene and the others see it."
"Aye, captain," say Dino and Inu as they begin to clean it up while Fang dragged the man behind him.
"I will look after the other two then," says Jinx as she leaves the three to their task.
Fang drags the man into the Crownguard house and goes into the basement and chains the man up there.
He takes his gauntlets off as his nails were showing and says, "Now then the faster we are done here the faster you can return to your Shinra or whatever that is."
"I won't say anything," says the man as Fang smiles.
"You know my master heard that sentence many times when he questioned people but in the end, they all talked," says Fang with a smile as he rams his nail into the body of the man avoiding vitals.
"He is also an expert in torture and I watched him when he practiced it. So we will have so much fun together," says Fang as he slowly cut a piece of flesh from the man's body.
"Now then let us begin. Why did you want those two?" asks Fang as the man kept his mouth shut and Fang rams the nail back inside the man saying, "Wrong answer. Let's try it again, shall we? Why did you want those two?"
"I will never tell you," says the man as Fang smiles even creepier at him.
Fang picks up the flesh he cut of before and plays with it while saying, "You know I'm a Tiger so if I were to eat you it wouldn't be cannibalism."
Fang then opens his mouth and puts the fresh-cut piece into his mouth before chewing on it and says, "It's been long since I feast on a human."
This made the man now nervous as Fang swallowed the piece of meat as if nothing and continues, "The flesh is tender just like I love it. Maybe I should eat you that would make both of us happy."
Fang was slowly turning into a Tiger when the man saw that he wasn't lying and says, "We wanted to have them as bargain chips against the people we meet in the Mythril Mine. It seems they fought at Fort Condor against Shinra and stole something from us in Junon."
"So you wanted that item back by exchanging the two people against it. A pretty dumb move if you ask me. But it's your demise, not mine," says Fang as he was back to his human form.
"Now then do you know where they are right now?" asks Fang as the man nods.
"They were seen in Costa del Sol yesterday and it's rumored that they bought the Shinra Villa there," says the man as Fang smiles.
"Good, we are almost done just one more question," says Fang as the man was nervous.
"What?" asks the man as he sees Fang's bloody smile creeping him out.
"Who are you?" asks Fang as he put his finger against the abdomen of the man as his finger was slowly transforming into his Human-Beast making the nail slowly grow.
"Tseng, the Boss of the Turks," says Tseng as he didn't want to die when Fang clicks his tongue in regret that he didn't kill him before asking this question.
"You are lucky that you are important to some extent or you would have become my food tonight. You will be brought out of the house and dropped in the slums. If I hear a word that you want to return," says Fang as he looked really serious at Tseng and continues, "You won't be able to escape Death and end up between my jaws."
Then Fang knocks him out and releases Tseng before dragging him out of the house. He drops him at the train station before returning to the house to clean the basement when Jinx appears behind him.
"What did you find out?" asks Jinx as Fang sighs.
"They are on the Western Continent already. They take longer than expected but they won the Fort Condor battle and stole something that was in Junon," says Fang as Jinx knew about it since they saw the Condor fly over their heads.
"Then they must be on their way to Corel," says Jinx as Fang nods.
"Most likely," says Fang as Jinx looked at the chair that had little blood while Fang's mouth had bloodstains.
"You didn't," says Jinx as she got angry seeing that.
"I did," says Fang as Jinx slapped him.
"You know that we are forbidden to eat human flesh," says Jinx as Fang was holding his cheek.
"I know that very well but I needed to intimidate him so he spewed out his information," says Fang as he didn't regret eating human flesh.
"Don't let it repeat or I will report it," says Jinx as she was worried about Fang.
"The mission goes first," says Fang as he sounded like the former John when Jinx hugs him.
"You know very well that John is different than before," says Jinx as Fang hugs her back.
"I know but one of us needs to be able to do the immoral stuff," says Fang as he quite lived being in Jinx's embrace.
"You don't have to do that," says Jinx as she released him.
"There are other ways," says Jinx while wiping the blood away around his mouth as she was very worried about Fang.
"We are done," says Dino who interrupted their little moment as he sees them he turns around and says, "I have seen nothing."
Leaving both alone sorting out what they were feeling at the moment.
