"Let's make a deal."

The Grim Reaper was stunned after hearing the 'genius' offer. In front of him is a young man sticking out his hand with a proud expression.

"I think you're smart enough to realize it can't work like tha-"

"Oooononono... listen, if you take my life now this will not be good for the world."

Donatello take the box which contains strange and unique objects. Then he showed it to the Grim Reaper and explained,

"See? These things will be indispensable and help many people! I'll change the world with my masterpiece!"

The person or we can say creature in front of him raised an eyebrow.

"So that's mean, if I die now, who will spread this beautiful babies to the world? See! that's why this is not time for me to die."

As Donnie explained his reasons dramatically, the Grim Reaper just exhale roughly. More than 1000 years of being grim reaper never has he met such a stubborn living being, well maybe some are stubborn but heck! this guy doesn't seem like he's going to give up.

"What's your offer?" The grim reaper interrupted donnie's (really long) explanation. The genius stopped and stared for a moment,did he really make grim reaper listen to him? He clears his throat,

"I want to stay alive until I successfully introduce my technology to the world,in exchange I will help you with your angel job or whatever. I mean you will go around the world to free people soul right? and then if if I have finished my task -and being rich- I will gladly to die on your hand."

'Die on my hand...'

"and what will you do to help my job?"

"I don't know, catch that person or show where they live? I can be your servant if you want."

"I already have one."

"Then you can have two."

It was to be expected that this debate was going nowhere,this genius really knows what he's saying. The Grim Reaper closed his eyes while thinking, maybe is not bad to give this person chance? He seems so desperate for showing his tech, like it's 'very important' things to do.

"Are you ready about problems you will facing? Do you know the dangers of a world that is kept secret from mortals? Are you ready to accept all that?" He asks intensly, challenging whether the mortal in front of him is sure about the offer.

Instead of fear in Donnie's face, he give the grim reaper an determine and confident face.

"I know, what I'm saying and I always ready with everything."

'So, this is it then...'

"Alright, your offer is accepted." He finally opened his eyes.

"Really?" Donnie was stunned, he did it! He finally convinced this Grim Reaper!

"But we will follow MY rule and don't get yourself into trouble while with me." The Grim Reaper turn around and head to the exit, "Well, what are you waiting for? quickly pack up and go now."

"Geez... be patient, are you people always like this?"

While putting many things to his bag Donnie asked,

"By the way do you have any name? I'm not gonna wasting my breath just to call you 'mr. grim reaper' all the time." he chose to call him 'mr. reaper' if this person has no name anyway.

...

"It's Leonardo, Leo for short."

Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4

Chapter 5, Day 12 and 13:

Agent Doggett has insisted on spending a week in the office getting to know the x-files, if he’s to be the senior agent.  Mulder tells him to suit himself and spends his time searching message boards and underground networks the gunmen have contact with for patterns in UFO sightings.  He also spends time checking into every single John Doe and Jane Doe intake notification that comes through from the missing persons databank supplied by national hospitals.  There are more of them than he would have thought, and also less than he imagined.

Agent Reyes, to his surprise, contacts him almost immediately upon his return to the office.  She lets him know her AD has given her permission to continue working on the missing fourteen in some capacity and that she will provide him with updates when she can.  He has the gunmen set up an encrypted email for her to use.  The only information she has so far is related to background information on the abductees.  Nothing that’s going to help find them.

Skinner issues their first case.  It has the appearance of routine homicide, which Mulder can tell leaves Agent Doggett feeling rather relieved.  As Mulder reads the file, he comes to the conclusion it’s anything but routine homicide.  The victims have human bite marks with secretions of anti-coagulants that only exist in bat saliva.  It’s obvious what they’re dealing with is a half-man, half-bat.

Batboy, Mulder?  Scully’s voice says in his head.  Seriously?  You picking up cases from the Weekly World News again?

Agent Doggett doesn’t comment much about Mulder’s theory.  It isn’t hard for Mulder to imagine John Doggett as a cop.  He thinks the man would be so much more comfortable in a uniform, patrolling streets and keeping order.  Agent Doggett is very by the book.  Black is black and white is white.  A person is good, or they are bad.  A man is a man and a bat is a bat.  No grey areas.

By chance, Agent Doggett discovers a newspaper article that helps put the pieces of the puzzle together.  They track down surviving members of a hunting party from fifty years ago who were written up for the killing of a creature the county coroner could only describe as not quite a man, not quite a bat.  Shortly thereafter, the coroner was killed and the creature disappeared.

Mulder and Agent Doggett split up to interview the men they track down.  During Mulder’s interview, the creature appears and attacks both Mulder and the man he’s interviewing.  Mulder manages to get a shot in before he’s knocked down and Agent Doggett arrives just in time to get in a few more shots, but ultimately, the creature gets away.

“What the hell am I going to put in my report?” Agent Doggett asks on their way out of Idaho.

“What you saw, what you did, what you stopped,” Mulder answers.

“I don’t know what I saw.  I sure as hell don’t know what I stopped.”

At least he didn’t tell me there was a more rational, scientific explanation for it, Mulder thinks.

A Cat, a Fox, and a Bee walk into a Bakery 33

“Vixy?  Queenie?  What are…” Chat paused, staring at his teammates, who were sitting on a rooftop and cheering Akuma-Marinette on.

“Hey Chat.” Vixen glanced over, and grinned at the red and black-spotted figure with him.  “Hey Nino, you look good.”

“It’s Scarabee right now,” He replied, glancing nervously at where Akuma-Marinette had tied up six civilian males and was hanging them upside down from a lamp post.  She appeared to be talking, the tip of her spear slowly moving back and forth a foot or so in front of their faces as she circled them.

Oddly, she had two large ravens sitting on her shoulder, which were eyeing the men hungrily.

“She’s calling herself Valkyrie, so I’m thinking a Norse theme.  She used a couple bolts from the spear to turn two pigeons into the ravens, which she’s calling Huginn and Muninn.  Which, those are supposed to be Odin’s thing, not a valkyrie’s, but…” Vixen trailed off with a shrug.

“But Hawkmoth doesn’t really know his mythology that well,” Chat finished.  “Which we learned from The Pharaoh.” He sighed.  “And just great, more birds.”

“It also means that we should probably expect basically anything Norse-themed to be thrown our way,” Vixen added.  “And I for one don’t want to be fighting The Midgard Serpent or a giant wolf or three tonight.”

“Tikki said before Nino transformed that the akuma is in her spear, so at least we know that.  So, why, um…” Chat gestured at the six civilians being menaced by Valkyrie.

“Recognize them?  You should, they’re the ones that were harassing us on that one date,” Queen Bee growled.

Chat started, taking a closer look.  Yeah, that was them.

“… We think that they attacked Marinette and that’s what got her akumatized,” Vixen added solemnly.  “At least from what Valkyrie said earlier.”

“So, we’re not exactly in a hurry to help,” Queen Bee finished.  “She’s mostly just lecturing them anyways.”

“Um, guys?” Scarabee squeaked, gesturing at Valkyrie, who had just pointed her spear at something and shot a beam at it.

Chat guessed that maybe it had been a rat originally, but the rapidly growing creature quickly shed fur and limbs, turning long and sleek and scaled.

And big.

The giant snake reared up, dwarfing even the ancient Titanoboa as it loomed, scales dark under the street lamps as it flickered its tongue in and out, easily twenty-five meters long, if not more.

“Jormungandr, show them what happens to those who prey on the defenseless!” Valkyrie ordered.

“Okay, Vixen, you are no longer allowed to potentially give her ideas!” Chat gasped, gripping his staff as the giant serpent opened its maw and hissed, revealing rows of long, needle-sharp teeth, the front fangs dripping pale venom.  “Queenie, distract Valkyrie!  Vixen, see if you can confuse the snake!  Scarabee, stay here.  I’m going to try to get that spear.”

His teammates nodded, Vixen pulling out her flute as Queen Bee spread her wings, taking off and shooting straight at Valkyrie, orange smoke trailing after her as Vixen began to play.

Chat swallowed hard, gave Scarabee’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze, then bounded off after Valkyrie, who had just taken off chasing Queen Bee.

‘Please, Marinette.  Please be okay in there.  We’re coming to help you.’

The two young birds that had scouted ahead for their friends wait by the water.

As the six moons shine brightly up in the sky and reflecting off the water they feel their thoughts becoming clearer.

Soon their attention goes to a golden glow manifesting in the distance as they witness their friends evolve into a similarly grown state as them, but their skin is a coppery color unlike the golden of the two early birds.

Soon they are brought to shore and the golden birds greet them excitedly.

The friends return their greeting as the older Aerians that found them guide them to a large building bigger than anything nearby.

Soon they are brought to a room where the oldest Aerian they have seen here is standing.

The two golden colored Aerians walk up to her saying her name: Quiet Raven

She gives them a nod as greeting calling them by name aswell.

The Male is known as Ou the female is known as Qua.

The others gain names aswell as the golden duo guide them around explaining everything they need to know such as where they will sleep, eat, and other such things they were shown.

The tour through the many buildings took a few hours as the sun was already starting to rise when they finished

The group went back to the dorms and slept
