Corbin was at home sitting on the couch, listening to Alvin. "So you're telling me someone stole this new invention of yours?" asked Corbin. "Unfortunately, yes. This device is known as The Dilution Hand. It has the ability to halve the potency of Dominant Magian Factors for 5 minutes. I was working on it so that Convocation Agents would be able to use it." "I don't think that's a good idea. A weapon with such power sounds too dangerous to exist." said Ernest from the side.

"What I'm more concerned about is how such information was made knowledge to an ex-Convocation Agent." said Alvin. "There's probably a mole inside. We need to find out who it is." said Ernest. "Already on it." said Alvin. Corbin got up and was going out the door. "Where are you going?" asked Ernest. "To get answers." said Corbin.

Corbin arrived at the Convocation Prison and was sitting at a table waiting for Seth. Once he showed up, Corbin glared at him. "So, what does the little rookie want? Still willing to serve this weak company?" "I am. Speaking of companies, I have a little question. Why'd you target Cypress Industries?" "Why do you care?" "Maybe because we've been fighting your organization for a while and your main objective has always been the two casinos. Why target something completely unrelated?"

"Let's just say Pardus also has people to answer to." "Like who?" "Trust me, kid. You don't want to get mixed up with them." "Are they as dangerous as you?" "No, but that doesn't mean you can take them on. After all, you got your ass handed to you by Crocodile. And you failed to beat him the following time" "I managed to leave behind a little gift on his face, so I'd say I'm getting close. And if I had to guess, I'd say the people Pardus has to answer for are the people he was talking to at The Seaboard Marine. What do they want with Cypress Industries?" "I don't know. If you ask me, I think it's a little weird how much you care about this company. Not even Kiara asked me about them so much."

"Of course, you'd say that. Thanks to him, his neighborhood and many others like his have been receiving ample funding and support. Support that the selfish Rossi wouldn't give. And he's willing to do anything it takes to help those communities thrive." said Seth. "That would mean something. Only Rossi did the same thing. He also gave back to his community. Just sounds like the same degree of selfishness. Then again, at least Rossi didn't cause needless suffering throughout South Florida." Corbin exited the room.

The next day, Corbin was in the training room about to face Justin. Corbin's shadow manifested and it charged towards Justin with a straight punch. Justin blocked using a force field. He created a mini satellite on his wrist and fired an ultrasonic beam at Corbin. His shadow showed up and blocked the beam, maintaining its integrity. Justin fired small missiles at the shadow, which did break apart.

Because of this, however, the shadow reconstituted itself in front of Justin and uppercut him in the face. It was about to land a kick to Justin's head, but he blocked and jumped up with help from jet boosters. He stuck out his arm and fired an energy net to wrap Corbin up. Corbin's shadow intercepted the net and got wrapped up instead. Just as Justin was about to land, Corbin closed in to grab his arm. In response, Justin boosted himself up with his jet boosters, leaving Corbin to deal with the exhaust. He landed and proceeded to blast Corbin to the floor with an energy beam from a wristgun.

Kiara helped Corbin up. "Nice job. I think you've got perfect control over your shadow, now." said Kiara. "I couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks, Lupa." "I will say, you're a rather strong opponent. I'm sure this Crocodile will stand no chance against you." said Justin.

"Hey, I know you've been training me and I appreciate it. But what about you? Do you think you're ready to take on Cain again?" Kiara closed her eyes and started to remember Cain beating her within an inch of her life. She opened her eyes, shook her head, and smiled. "Don't worry about me. I'm much more focused. I'll make sure to take him down." "Hey, Justin. I don't mean to come off as giving you the leftovers, but do you think you could help us deal with the remaining capos?" "Ah, it's no problem. We'll take care of them so you can deal with the bigger fish."

"Hold on a second. We can pin down Zoocreeper for attempted kidnapping and fighting back against a Convocation Agent, but what can we pin Liquor Don for?" asked Kiara. "Caesar already gave us a good reason. Apparently, this guy once snapped a man's neck simply because the man kept pestering him while he was trying to relax." "That's wonderful. It means he gets angry easily." said Justin. "Not exactly. He's actually very slow to anger. He can increase his own muscle mass while Zoocreeper can turn into any animal in the world." "In that case, me and Ciro will take on Zoocreeper." Justin left to inform his team. "Hey, I have an idea. Since you've been helping me with a new technique, how about I return the favor?" said Corbin.

Following the conversation, Justin and Ciro showed up to a nail salon. "Huh. I expected the lair of a bad guy to be in a place like a warehouse or something. And what kind of nail salon has a doggy door?" asked Ciro. Justin noticed a woman working and approached her. "Hello. We're Convocation Agents and we'd like to talk to the owner of this establishment. We have reason to believe he's deserving of arrest." "He's in his office." Justin and Ciro went towards his office. "Those fools." They entered the office and found him playing Hackey sack.

"Alright, man. You're guilty of attacking Convocation Agents and trying to kidnap some teenagers. Surrender now and this office won't have to get messy." said Ciro. In response, he turned into a fly and landed on the door before turning into a roach and leaving through the crack. After emerging out the other side, he turned into a chihuahua and went out the doggy door.

Lucas and Dawn showed up to a bar. Dawn spotted the bartender and approached him. "Hello. We're looking for your boss. Could you bring him out?" she asked. "What do you want with him?" "We've received reports of criminal activity regarding him and we'd like to talk to him about it." "Look, lady. Unless he sold alcohol to minors himself, you're not gonna find anything. Now order up or get out." Dawn shook her head with a smile. 

"Fine. We'll just find him ourselves. Of course, I wonder how you'll do. If he's guilty of crimes, you'll probably go to jail for withholding vital information. And based on your build, you'll probably be fresh meat. Hope all that bartending gave you good practice for holding things. Then again, glass isn't as slippery as soap. But I'm sure you'll be fine if your boss is innocent." "Alright, alright. Sheesh. I'll get him." The bartender went to get Liquor Don. "Hook, line, and sinker."

Justin and Ciro were chasing after Zoocreeper who turned into an eagle and flew up to a rooftop. Ciro used his weather abilities to carry both of them up there and Zoocreeper faced them while human. "Done running, escoria?" asked Ciro. "I wasn't running away. I just wanted a better place for us to fight." "How courteous of you." said Justin. He fired a grappling hook to tie him up, only for Zoocreeper to avoid it by turning into a skunk. He then aimed as he sprayed both agents with his fumes.

D and Lucas were sitting, waiting for Liquor Don to show up. Don came out upset. "What the hell do you two want with me? I was just enjoying my knitting. "You knit?" asked Lucas. "Shut up!" "Whatever. We're here to talk about your crimes. We know you're involved with the Pardus Crime Family. Surrender now and you won't get hurt." said Lucas. "Who fed you this idiotic idea? I haven't committed any crimes. I'm just a bar owner. Now then, unless your drinks are warmer than they should be, I suggest letting me go back to my knitting. I was almost done." Don turned around to leave.

"If we continue, are you gonna snap our necks like you did that one guy?" asked Don immediately stopped. "What?" "We've heard about your crimes, Don. There's no point in trying to play dumb. Surrender now." Instead, he activated an alarm, prompting everyone to leave. He increased his muscle mass and threw a bottle as fast as possible, but she blocked it with cherry blossom petals.

Justin created two noseplugs that he and Ciro wore. He followed up with a blast from a wrist gun that Zoocreeper dodged. He ran towards Justin, jumped at him, turned into a wasp, and stung his face. Justin smacked him away, but he was able to regain himself. He transformed into a Turkish Kangal and ran towards Justin, attempting to bite his crotch area. However, Justin backed away and surrounded himself in a force field. 

Lucas fired a disc at him, only for Don to grab and crush it with his bare hands. Lucas fired multiple discs at him and Dawn fired her petals alongside them. Despite the combined attack, he was still standing. "Direct attacks won't be enough to stop him. Let's stop him from another angle." Dawn trapped him in a tornado of petals to wear him down and Lucas created a large disc above to accelerate the speed of the petals.

Zoocreeper was hit by lightning and turned around to see Ciro with clouds surrounding his hands. He turned into a Maned rat and ran towards him. Ciro performed a kick, stirring up winds to blow him towards Justin, who elbowed him down to the floor. Justin was about to step on him, but he reacted by transforming into a porcupine, causing Justin to stop and back up. Zoocreeper fired his quills that Justin blocked with a force field.

Don unleashed a monstrous thunderclap, dispersing the Sakura petals. He jumped up to grab the disc. However, the disc was placed in a flat position that prevented him from grabbing it. In response, Dawn hit him with Sakura petals into a wall. "Woah. That felt faster than before. What's up with that?" asked Don. Lucas had the disc from above come down straight below Don and blow cold, heavy wind down on him. Dawn created Sakura petals to repeat the strategy from before, only they were moving faster this time.

Justin created a wrist-mounted machine gun and fired energy blasts that Zookeeper avoided by turning into a wasp and flying between the shots. He transformed into an ape and ran towards Justin, but he got tripped by a dense cloud created by Ciro. Once he got up, there were two small thunderclouds next to each of his ears. They released a volatile sound, deafening him. They combined into one cloud that produced bright lightning that blinded him. Ciro took advantage of this opportunity and created a large thundercloud and incapacitated him with one swift strike. "Well, that's probably attract a lot of attention." said Ciro. "Well, we were fighting on top of a roof. If anyone didn't notice us, I'll be amazed." said Justin.

Don created a thunderclap to disperse the petals. But he was tired and his breathing felt shallow. Lucas ran in and delivered two punches to his abs before punching his face. Don tried to hit Lucas, but every attack was not only missing, but also moving very slowly. Dawn finished Liquor Don off by hitting him with petals from behind that Lucas dodged with a head tilt. "With any luck, whoever the new owner is will be much better. This place is filthy." said Dawn.

Lucas got on the phone and made a call to Justin who picked up. "Please tell me you guys are okay." said Lucas. "We're fine. We just took care of Zoocreeper." "Thank goodness. Alright, me and Dawn are headed to the Prison to give this nutjob over. Meet us there." "We're probably gonna take a while." "I thought you guys were okay." "We are physically. However, you know how Zoocreeper can turn into any animal?" "Yeah?" "That includes skunks." Lucas' face was surprised. "Oh. In that case, stay there as long as you need to. Preferably 2 to 3 weeks." "Relax, I'm cleaning us right now." Lucas smiled. "Alright."

Corbin received a text from Justin saying both capos were arrested and showed it to Kiara. "Alright, all that's left are Cain and Crocodile. You ready for this?" asked Kiara. "All thanks to you. I know for sure that we'll finally put an end to these decadent felons." Kiara and Corbin activated an app on their phones to track the respective gangsters and found that they were in two different locations. Following that, Kiara received a call on her phone from an unknown number. With caution, she answered it.

"Who are you?" "It's me, Pardus. But I'm sure Caesar already gave you my real name, right?" Kiara was shocked to hear his voice and put the phone on speaker. "Alright, how did you get my number?" "The same way I learned of your address and your brothers' address. Listen. I want you and your little partner to show up to the Seaboard Marine without any backup and let us kill you by 9:30. Otherwise, we'll kill several hostages instead."

Kiara's rage was boiling. "Oh, and if I see a hint of bioelectricity before I see you, I'll pop them. Understand?" Kiara took a deep breath and calmed down. "I understand." Cain hung up on the phone. "Guess a leopard really can't change its spots, huh? It's no problem. We'll be able to save the hostages without them seeing us." said Kiara. Corbin was confused at first, but then caught on. "Oh, right! My shadow. It should be able to take down Cain's lackeys and save the hostages. And thanks to this skill being recent, they won't see it coming."
