CH1 - The Old Fox

A young woman sat in a white room, the table, chair, and tea cup in her hand all black as before her were screens which relayed the world. The young woman wore a red dress shirt and white dress pants with black dress shoes as her dark brown hair was tied in a ponytail. "It's... Interesting... Don't you think so, Zero?" She said to seemingly nothing before a gray cat emerged from the nothingness of the white room and onto the table as it sat. "Indeed mistress Luna... What do you make of it?" She asked, bringing her left foreleg up and licking it. "Simply one more possibility within the shift..." She said, watching the screen as she took a sip from her white cup.

Luna simply giggled as she silently watched the world through various screens. "History repeats the same dance of destruction... Never changing... Never wavering... It's amusing..." Luna said softly. "Agreed mistress..." The gray cat said, sitting as she too watched the screens. She grinned as she closed her eyes with a sigh. "Though... It gets rather droll, watching the same dance over and over..." She told the gray cat as it nodded, agreeing with her. She reached out and petted the head of the gray cat. "Dearest Zero... I have an assignment... You know where you must go..." She said as the gray cat purred. "As you command, mistress..." She said, vanishing as she left Luna to the many screens before her.

The gray cat appeared on the surface of the moon looking around before appearing on the other end. "Ah, there you are..." She said as she padded up towards the the black box. "We cannot keep mistress waiting..." She said as the box vanished with her. Soon after, the gray cat appeared with the box retrieved from the moon, pushing it across the table to Luna as her hand rested upon it gently as if it were glass. "Good work Zero..." She said, petting the cat as it purred.  She tapped the box softly, smiling. "It's been awhile... Old Fox..." She said to the box as it glowed softly. Do you wish to come out?" She asked the box as it glowed brightly. "Good..." She said.

Closing her eyes she focused on the box, gears clicking and whirring as it clicked loudly. "Come on out old friend..." She said as the box shook then shattered, a black fox appearing from it, the insides of it's ears a golden yellow as well as the tip of it's tail. "It has been so long since I've been outside that blasted box..." He spat as he shook out his black coat. "So, what do I owe the two cats for my release?" He questioned, curious as to why they released him from his prison.

Luna folded her hands gently as she stared at the fox. "The trigger." Luna said simply. The fox stepped back. "Y-you can't be that daft woman..." He said, fear in his voice. "Find the eye..." She said simply. The fox gulped and nodded. "Y-yes..." He said as he vanished in a swirl of smoke that quickly dissipated. The black fox appeared in a forest, smoke flowing around him before his form faded. Smoke traveled through the forest, silently and quick. Coming towards an opening the fox's form solidified as the smoke faded, he could feel the presence of others as his form became a man in his late fifties, lean with black hair with silver gray streaks in it. Fixing his black blazer he buttoned up his red dress shirt, soon finishing he raised a hand through his disheveled gray hair, pulling it back. He looked like an older father who still had some kick left. Stepping out he gave a smirk as his human form became a puff of smoke and soon appeared within the city in the same burst of smoke. "Good evening folks, no need to cause panic for I am... Well, you can call me Old Fox." He said.
