Part 3: Hidden intentions

After resolving the mission at the central Park, father Heart brought back everyone in the cloud van, including Joaquin and his family.

"It is a pleasure to always meet new members for the care Bear family…" said Father Heart with a happy tone as he drove, towards Care-A-Lot.

"… Yeah sure…" implied Joaquin with a somewhat sarcasm tone, of course Father Heart noticed that.

"So… where do you come from?" asked Indomitable Heart, taking interest in the new members.

"Me and Zoey… we were feral bears, until Joaquin found us" explained Aqua. "We were alone wandering through the forest and we were hungry until Joaquin came and gave us food… after that we wanted to follow him"

"And your parents?" asked Perspective Heart.

"… … We don't want to talk about that" remarked Zoey, remembering the brutality when her parents and the parents of Aqua were captured.

"Oh sorry… I didn't know" apologized Perspective Heart seeing the sad expression.

"That's OK" said Redemption. "Zoey is a strong willed person… and aqua well he will resist it"

"What about you Redemption?" asked Natural Heart.

"I found Joaquin when he, Zoey and Aqua came passing through the church I used as refugee" said Redemption. "I healed one of the wounds from Aqua and Joaquin simply wanted me to come… I agreed with him and simply well wanted him to… leave my past behind"

"That is so sad" said softly Existence Bear hugging her as a sign of respect for her.

"Things like shouldn't happen to people like you… you don't have a reason to deserve it" said Reason Heart.

"Thanks… but sometimes life is not fair…" said Joaquin in a cold tone. Father Heart again was worried and much more now that they all arrived in Care-A-Lot… He decided to guide them inside the Hall of Hearts, but stayed close to Joaquin.

"Oh Father Heart you are back!" said Immortal Heart hugging her husband.

"Yes I am… and I brought new members for our family" said Father heart, with a  weak smile.

"… I know this might soon too… soon, but who is this guy No heart I heard about?2 asked Joaquin.

"How do you know about No Heart?" asked True Heart.

"We faced one of No Heart's shadows in our mission" said Reason Heart.

"But Joaquin here and his family helped us to… destroy them" explained Existence Bear.

"However for some reason I feel they are interested in No heart…" said Father Heart.

"That's the only reason you came with us don't you, Joaquin?"

"… … … You are pretty sharp for being a squirrel…" complied Joaquin.

"Well if you must know… No heart is…" said Fighter Heart.

"WAIT! What's your business with No heart?" interrupted Father Heart.

"That's something you must not know…" said Joaquin now in a cold way.

"… … Sorry but we won't share any info with you if you won't tell you that…" remarked Immortal Heart also in a protective way…

"Hum… guys we better leave for now… things might get bad here" said Indomitable Heart, taking Perspective Heart, Reason Heart, Existence Bear and Natural Heart outside the Hall of Hearts.

"Is our parents going to be fine?" asked Natural heart, worried for what just happened.

"Don't worry, you know our parents they are not violent people and I bet everything here will be solved by talking" said Indomitable Heart but then an explosion was heard inside the place and then Joaquin along with Father Heart and Immortal Heart following him.

"It is not wise to attack first if you are going to fight someone you don't know" said Joaquin.

"We wanted to avoid that, but you refuse to tell us your intentions… No Heart is a dangerous wizard, so any business with him is never good" said Father Heart.

"You are right… I don't plan any good with him, but I also don't want to harm any of you…" said Joaquin.

"It is if it will affect our family" said Father Heart.  "Plus that villain is one of the worst we have encountered so far… so we won't allow you to meet each other" said Immortal Heart.

"… So I guess that means you are going to meddle in my way do you?" asked Joaquin losing all his patience now.

"We can put it that way" said Father Heart.

"Then I guess I have no option" said Joaquin as he focused on his body and decided to fight with his bare hands.

"… He has a huge amount of energy… Wow… it is even stronger than us" said Immortal heart.

"Don't fear Immortal Heart…" said Father Heart, hiding his own worries about Joaquin.

"You don't know what you have gotten yourself into" said Joaquin as he actually rammed towards both squirrel Founders and then managed to outrun both and kicked them against a wall.

"What was just that? *cough*" asked Father Heart.

"… Seems he is faster than he looks" said Immortal Heart.

Meanwhile inside Zoey, Fighter Heart and Dream Big were clashing with bare paws as well and somehow keeping up with both Founders, mostly dodging their attacks. Aqua on the other side was having a magical fight with Trick Heart and Wild Heart, launching fire and water spells at each other.

"You will pay for trying to get to No Heart…" said Wild Heart, as he then began to use

"The only ones who will pay will be you because we didn't want to

True Heart, Noble Heart and Redemption were trying to calm down the situation trying to make both sides stop from fighting. However someone was watching it…

"… Indomitable Heart, what shall we do about this?" asked Perspective Heart.

"… …. Perspective Heart… Seems we have something else to worry about" said Indomitable Heart, feeling a dark presence that was apparently watching the entire situation.

"Seems my presence was found…" said a dark voice.

"No Heart… today is a very bad for you to come now" said Reason Heart.

"That's exactly why I came here…" said No Heart. "Besides…"

"I want my apprentice to meet me after all this time…" said his voice.
