Himiko Toga the infiltrator

“Let me go around,” the voice said as they shifted the board back into place. Your little band of rebels looked at each other (except for Mirajane) and shifted so that everyone was facing the door. It was only a few tense seconds before the door was unlocked and the eavesdropper walked inside. In walked Himiko Toga wearing a slightly tattered waitress outfit that had the mouth guard of her supervillain costume.

“Hello Mister James,” Himiko bowed slightly to you, causing you to look at her with confusion.

“Why are you bowing? Have we met?” You asked cautiously, you were familiar with how many Himiko Toga acted and sudden respect from one is definitely a red flag.

“I was told to and nope,” Himiko stated without elaborating.

“Who told you to and how do you know him?” Amber asked as kindly she could considering the situation.

“My boss, and they made me memorize every member of the Gardner family, along with the Collins, Hanovers, Hoffer, Stark, and Espaldas.”

“And who is that boss?” You asked as your hands itched for something to defend yourself with. You tried to feel for some plant life but you couldn’t feel anything nearby except for some fungi but those aren’t true plants.

“Daisy-112!” She responded cheerfully with a wide grin.

“My mom?!” You shout in shock, not knowing how this random character knew your mom’s instance number. “What does she have to do with anything?” Toga cocked her head in confusion.

“I think I might’ve done this out of order,” Himiko Toga mumbled and straightened up. She coughed and started making phrases. “Dragons on Berk fly over Omashu to escape the chupacabra.”

“What?” You don't quite understand what she was saying while vaguely recalling an incident your brother Sam had with his pet Terrible Terror dragon.

“Kazemon on the Blue Lagoon with three fire breathing turtles,” Himiko Toga tried again. Once again you were not sure why she was saying this stuff, though you recalled that your half-sibling triplets (via Auntie Bowsette) being stranded on an island for a few weeks with their digimon partners.

“I get you are saying references to my sibling’s stuff, but I don’t get why you are saying it,” you say carefully as Himiko was getting more agitated with each failed attempt.

“I am so confused right now,” Keira said, causing Amber and Mirajane to nod in agreement. Himiko ignored this exchange and pointed a finger at your face.

“What the hell have your parents been telling you!” Himiko stomped her foot before making a final attempt. “Haven City Sky Racing with Chocobo and Starbursts!”

“Zoomer racer underground with Ash and Quinzel,” you reply, recalling the phrase your dad and you used as a code during a vacation gone wrong in a universe that was set in the Cold War. “You work for my parents?”

“Yup!” Himiko popped the ‘p’ before she frowned at you. “Why do you know the code for ‘Supplies and Allies available nearby’ but not ‘friendly characters willing to help you’ codes?”

“My dad and I came up with it; but how do you know it and the other adventures/incidents my siblings had?” You demanded to know.

“Your parents use your adventures for the codes our group’s uses,” she explained.

“What group and did my parents send you to find me?” You demanded to know, not liking that you didn’t know what this Himiko was talking about.

“If you don’t know, I can’t tell you, literally,” Himiko knocked on her head where mind mods would be implanted. “And no, they didn’t send me.” Himiko stepped back and gave a pose. “Himiko Toga-255890! Number five infiltrator of Vampire-Cat Squad!” She left the pose and then explained further.

“What I can tell you is that your parents had me infiltrating a hotel due to some rumors about the owners. When a bigwig from RealDreams came by, I saw some suspicious stuff, and got caught; woke up here four months ago with Android Eighteen poking me in the face with her foot.”

“So my parents have agents in a bunch of places,” You say with a blank face. “So their lie to the Sarasaland citizens about planning to overthrow the Prime Worlds might not be a lie after all.” You needed to talk to your parents and aunties as soon as you got home.

“What was that about overthrowing…?” Keira, Mirajane, and Amber asked.

“Nothing,” you immediately reply.

“It's not important,” Himiko said confidently. “What is important is getting Mister James out of here and back to relative safety.” Himiko gives you a look. “Everyone knows the trouble you and your siblings get into so I know safety is guaranteed.”

“So you are going to help us?” Mirajane asked her. Keira raised her hand.

“By the way, I’m convinced and willing to help.”

“Perfect…” Himiko flashed a cat-like smile. “I overheard your plan and I think I know who will be willing to lend a hand and stick it to the bitches.” She paused. “By the way, I sent your Gogo ahead to start working on the shuttle so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Thank you.” She accepted it before she continued with her information.
