02x12 - Part of the Family

[bunniefuu]

Countries worldwide are battling
a discrete yet fierce information w*r.

Two countries are in a standoff.

Ostania in the east. Westalis in the west.

Westalis launched Operation Strix
to find out the movements

of key figures in the Ostanian government,
who are plotting a w*r.

Highly skilled Agent Twilight,
was put in charge of the operation.

The man with a hundred different faces,
was given a mission

to create a family.

Father, Loid Forger, a psychiatrist.

His true identity is a spy.
Codename is Twilight.

Mother, Yor Forger, a city hall employee.

Her true identity is an assassin.
Codename is Thorn Princess.

Daughter, Anya Forger.

Her true identity is a telepath
who can read minds.

Dog, Bond Forger.

A psychic canine that can glimpse
the future.

For their own personal interests,
they created a fake family.

The mission continues, as three of them
hide their identities from each other.

MISSION:37
PART OF THE FAMILY

Bond, let's go for a walk.

You wanna come along?

Anya's not going.

Anya's really busy right now.

- This is the highest level of difficulty.
- Origami?

She says it's popular at school right now.

She's concentrating so hard.

Since Anya's not coming, maybe I'll train
Bond instead of taking him on a walk.

We'll be off.

Bye, Loid. Bye, Bond.

Go!

Good boy.

Incapacitate the target by going
for the arms and legs.

Don't bite vitals areas that would
cause critical injuries.

They need to be alive to give us intel.

You jerk! Did you forget
that I took good care of you?

Bad boy! Once you grip them
with your teeth, don't let go!

Letting go will not only put you
in danger, but biting the suspect

multiple times can lead
to critical injuries.

You're too gentle. Barking and biting
might not be your forte.

By the way,

why am I playing the role of the suspect?

- Listen up. I'm an informant.
- It can't be helped. I'm training Bond.

"It can't be helped," my ass!

Explain yourself in 500 words!

The situation around us
is threatening and dangerous.

- So we must be prepared just in case.
- That explanation wasn't good enough.

All right. That's enough for
the suppression and securing training.

Let's move onto screening scents
and expl*sives detection.

This training will be tough.

I have to be part of that too?

I have to play the part of the bomber?

What's wrong? Are you having
a hard time concentrating?

Project Apple

was a study to create intelligent
m*llitary dogs, right?

He was forced to train back then,
so he must be sick and tired of it.

I see.

You can't even do something
this simple, you useless mongrel.

This project is a failure.

It's time to get rid of these dogs.

To dogs, both training and taking part
in real battles,

is not much different than playing.

Make the training more enjoyable for him.

That's something you really need
to work on.

Take him on a walk for a change of pace.

- Anyways, I'll be off.
- Wait!

Let's go for a walk.

Wow! You made so many of them.

Those stars are so cute.

These aren't just normal stars.

Anya Forger, you have been awarded with
a Stella Star!

Don't scavenge for food.

My ice cream!

I only got to eat a little bit of it!

What a loser!

Starting today, your nickname
is Ice Cream Dropper.

No way!

Two scoops!

It's so unfair that you get
so much allowance.

You protected that kid's food? Good boy.

Bringing you into the family was worth it.

Whoa!

What's up with this bear?

Is he after my ice cream?

Stop it, Bond! What's wrong?

My ice cream!

I only got to eat a little bit of it!

Sorry, little guy.
I'll get you another one!

Three scoops!

- Must be nice.
- I'm so jealous.

It's so unlike you to go after
someone else's food.

What got into you all of a sudden?
Are you hungry?

I'm so sorry! Are you all right?
Call the ambulance!

You're being weird today!

Whoa! What's up with this beast?

I'm so sorry!

I apologize on my dog's behalf!

That dog needs to be trained!

Biting an innocent stranger
is absolutely preposterous!

Seems like you need some training.

Wow, Bond! You saved the future!

How strange.

He completed both the socialization
and obedience training.

And he's not an irrational dog
to begin with, either.

Just as it is with Anya,
I still have a lot to learn about Bond.

Oh no! A bird pooped on me!

FORESEEING

That's enough! We're getting rid
of a dog like you!

IMAGINATION

Is he sick or something?

Should I take him to the vet?

- Daisy!
- Ma'am, it's dangerous! Stand back!

Daisy is still inside!

No! My Daisy!

What's the matter?

He's so restless today.

No! Stop!

That's...

Someone call the fire department!

The fire is spreading faster
than expected!

A fire? Did he react to this smell?

- Is there anyone inside?
- No worries. Everyone evacuated.

There's been lots of fire these days.

There's rumor that it's arson.

Where are the fire fighters?

Daisy! My Daisy!

Idiot! Stay away! No one's inside!

You should stay away too!

Wait, he might have caught
someone's scent inside.

Bond!

Bond!

It's hot! What are you doing?

A puppy? It's one of the resident's pet?

You're quite impressive.

Let's get out of here for now.
Can you run?

Stay low.

We can't go back...

He's scared of the fire.
I can't force him to go through.

This is not good. What should I do?

The lower level is engulfed in flames.

Then that would leave us
with the outside stairs on the north side.

It'll be dangerous,
but that'll be our only choice.

Come, Bond!

What is it? This is no time for playing.

Y... you saved us.

You can sniff out danger
at times like this too?

You're amazing.

We can't use the outside stairs.

That means we'll have to
force our way through the smoke.

I can manage, but Bond won't
be able to breathe.

A plastic bag?

All right, let's use this

to trap in clean air from
the bottom like so.

It's a simple substitute
for an oxygen t*nk.

We'll use this in areas
where we can't breathe.

Let's carry the puppy in here.

Don't go astray! Follow me closely!

Let's go.

You made it out safely?

This little one

was left behind in room 407.

Oh! This is Ms. Bennett's puppy!

She was still inside?

You guys ran in there to save her?

Your dog is very impressive.

Bond! You're on fire!

Hold on! I'll bring a bucket of water!

He's so thin!

This is what you look like
when you're wet?

I've never seen him like this before,

since Yor always gives him a bath.
But this is...

No, hold it in, Twilight.

I'm a cool-headed spy.
I must not let my emotions show.

The fire is out now. Good for you.

What is it?

Hey! Sir.

- Please look after that puppy!
- S... sure.

Hold up, Bond!

Whoa. Look at those flames!

Daisy!

Ma'am, it's dangerous! Stand back!

Daisy is still inside!

This is so addictive!

What's that wet, skinny thing?

- Let go of me! Dammit!
- Is he biting another stranger?!

You little...

Oil and lighters?

Don't underestimate humans,
you little mutt!

You knew that this guy was the arsonist?

This is the type of oil

used by the serial arsonist
that the authorities are after.

Let's report him to the police
and leave the rest up to them.

Good work on catching him.

Did you pick up a scent at the scene?
Or did you sniff out his stress sweat?

Either way, you did a great job.

I'm so glad! Daisy!

I'm so glad you're safe!

What a relief!

I wouldn't have been able
to live without you...

My Daisy! I'm so sorry!

A serious looking guy,

and a huge, super thin dog
rescued your puppy.

They really deserve a medal.

Where did they go?
Let me go look for them.

Let's go.

It won't be good for either of us
to be in the newspaper.

Let's reward this doggie for his work
with a year's worth of meat!

You did well! You were amazing. But...

You're supposed to bite the arm,
not the leg!

Don't be reckless.

There's people at home who will be sad
if you die.

I'm sorry too.

Your role as a working dog
should only come second.

Understand that first and foremost,
you are a member of the Forger family.

Got it?

Are you not hurt?

You must have breathed in a lot of smoke.

Let's get you checked out at the vet
just in case.

Hey, what is it? Stop it!

Don't get carried away.
I just want the Forger family

to stay together for my best interests...

I don't have any extra missions tomorrow

so let's all go to the dog park together.

You've been all alone lately
staying home by yourself.

Why does your bark change
when you get wet?

I did it!

- Is that a Kn*fe?
- Oh?

It's a penguin.

Origami is pretty difficult, huh?

Oh yeah, how about something like this?

Ta-da!

Oh... I cut it a bit too much.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Bond! You're all wilted and shriveled!

Oh my, what happened?

Oh, there was a bit of an accident.

We got splashed with water
on the way home.

Oh, I see.

His bark sounds different too!

Don't worry, Anya.

This is what happens to Bond
when he gets wet.

He'll be back to his fluffy self
once his fur dries.

He rescued a puppy from a fire,

and caught an arsonist.

But I can't tell them
what really happened.

Father and Bond achieved
great things during their walk!

Give me a second, Bond.

- I'll get you dried right away.
- Thanks, Yor.

Father.

Father, and Bond! I award you both
with a Stella Star!

You're playing pretend with Stella Stars?

It's the "You Worked Super Hard
While Taking A Walk" award.

Wow! Loid, and Bond, congratulations!

This is all great, but please
earn yourself a real Stella Star.

Oh god...

All right, time to prepare dinner.

I'll help.

I want to eat Father's Hamburg steak!
