( Finn's POV )
' Ais, can you help me with these boxes?'
'Leave her alone, she's busy thinking about that boy, Yuuki. '
The Amazon twins Tiona and Tione were loading supplies onto a transport cart and Ais should have been helping but she was distracted looking into the distance.
Another one who was too lost in thought to help us was Bete; he was sitting on a wooden box with his gaze lowered, I was thinking of talking to him, but Riveria, the expert elf mage of our family, beat me to it.
Riveria: How much longer are you going to dwell on this? I understand you're frustrated, but that shouldn't interfere with the family's work.
Bete: ...Tch.
Bete answered with a click of his tongue, but he heard Riveria's words and stood up, but as he took a step forward, a hand pierced Bete's chest from behind, Some of Bete's blood splashed onto Riveria's face. Everyone present froze for a moment and only reacted when Bete's body fell to the ground.
The perpetrator of the attack was a man wearing a black hood, that would normally be something easy to notice in the middle of the day, but his image and presence were completely hidden from us until a moment ago.
Ais was the fastest in our family and she shot towards the enemy at great speed, but when it seemed that she was going to stab him with her sword, the hooded figure disappeared.
Ais looked around searching for the enemy and when her eyes fell on me they widened in surprise, at that moment I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I looked down and saw that I had been pierced by six black claw-like blades; the hooded man had hit me without me noticing.
The hooded figure pulled out the blades, and I fell to the ground just like Bete.
Tione: Captain!
I had difficulty trying to lift my body off the ground but I wasn't in much pain; the hooded man's weapon must have a numbing effect.
Tione ran to check on me, and the hooded figure moved away from us again, the other members of our family had their weapons ready to face the enemy, but things weren't looking good for us.
Tiona: Who are you? Why are you doing this?
' I'd like to know that too. '
We were being attacked in our own home and our goddess, Loki, soon appeared, though the gods had their powers sealed in this world and the hooded figure was not intimidated by her.
Hooded man: Why? You are not deserving, not worthy of the power you wield, I am just taking it back.
' Oh, this one can talk, that's a good change of pace, finally there will be some answers. '
Another voice echoed through the place, and it belonged to the man who had shaken up the rhythm of our family, Yuuki.

( Yuuki's POV )
When I went to the Loki Familia base, I found another barrier surrounding the place, and on the other side, the Familia members were being attacked by another hooded figure, but this one was different from the ones we had found before.
Two members of the Loki Familia were in critical condition, so I approached Bete and gave him a Phoenix Tear and the hole in his chest was fixed in a matter of seconds.
The girl who was crouching next to Finn saw what I did and she remembered the position I had given Finn, she searched Finn's pockets and then made him drink it, quickly returning him to one hundred percent as well.
After that was resolved, I confronted the hooded figure, he was very calm before, but when I appeared, he became more wary, that must be because we've already taken out several of his comrades.
Hooded man: you, why do you keep interfering?
Yuuki: The only one who's going to be revealing information here is you, my friend.
Hooded man: You're not going to get anything from me.
Yuuki: Oh, but I already did. With your little speech earlier, I have no doubt that you're Hydra.
I pointed at the hooded figure while saying the name his group shared between worlds, and when his expression changed to one of annoyance, I knew I had hit the nail on the head.
The guy disappeared from his spot but I could still feel his presence; he was going to attack me from behind so I moved to the side, when the enemy's attack failed, I grabbed the hooded figure by the back of the head and slammed him to the ground, The guy bounced off a couple of times, and when he recovered, I appeared in front of him and used a devastating combo.
I punched him in the stomach followed by an uppercut, and when he rose from the ground I used a spinning flying kick, the enemy went flying and I appeared behind him to deliver a powerful knee strike, he went flying again and I teleported above him to deliver a double stomp, the hooded man's back was demolished and he lost the ability to move.
I threw a device created by Regina and the hooded figure was tied up with metal cables, and that was mission accomplished.
I carried the hooded figure on my shoulder and returned home, I heard someone calling for me as I was leaving, but I was already flying too far to stop.
Leaping across the city rooftops, I reached our mansion quickly, but at that moment I felt the familiar signature of Hydra's barriers.
Yuuki: What a busy day.
I dumped the hooded man's body in the yard of our mansion and changed direction; my target was an old church near our house.
