### *Tobias: Hunt for Ivy’s Siblings*
**The Plan to Confront Miyu**
Tobias sat at the edge of the table, his fingers tapping against the surface nervously. His mind was spinning with the realization that Miyu, now a high-ranking politician, was immune from prosecution for the actions she had taken against him and his friends. As long as she remained in power, there was no way to bring her to justice. The thought of that gnawed at him, but there was something else that had recently come to his attention: Miyu’s siblings.
“They’re not immune,” Tobias murmured to himself, his eyes hardening with resolve. “They’re just pawns, like I used to be. I can still do something about them.”
Luna, who had been quiet up until that point, looked at him sharply. “You’re not seriously planning to go after them, are you?”
Tobias looked up, his gaze steady. “They’ve come to Salibad, and I can’t let them get away with what they’re doing. They don’t deserve protection just because they’re related to Miyu.”

**The Decision to Track Them Down**
Martha, Bruno, and Luna exchanged uncertain glances. They knew Tobias’ anger at Miyu ran deep, but going after her siblings wasn’t a straightforward solution. But Tobias’ determination was clear—he was ready to do whatever it took.
“We don’t know where they’re hiding yet,” Bruno said cautiously, leaning forward. “Salibad is a big place, and right now, Starfleet is in the middle of a battle with the island’s security forces. It’s not exactly a safe time for a search.”
“I don’t care,” Tobias replied, his tone steely. “I’ve dealt with worse. I’m not going to let them slip through my fingers.”

**Arriving at Salibad**
The ship cut through the mist as they neared Salibad, the lights of the city island glowing against the darkened sky. The island itself was a complex maze of towering buildings, narrow streets, and hidden alleyways. It was a place of sharp contrasts—where wealth and power mixed with grit and desperation. It was the perfect place for the kind of under-the-radar dealings Tobias hoped to uncover.
As the group docked, the tension was palpable. The sounds of conflict echoed in the distance, signaling that the battle with Starfleet wasn’t over. But that wasn’t Tobias’ concern right now. The siblings were his target.
“We need to be smart about this,” Luna said, her voice tight with nerves. “With everything going on, the last thing we need is to draw attention.”
Tobias nodded. “I’ll go alone. I’ll track them down, but I don’t want anyone else getting caught in the crossfire.”
Martha stepped forward. “We’re not letting you do this alone. We’re a team. We’ll help, but we need a solid plan.”

**The Search Through Salibad**
The city was alive with tension, its streets filled with the distant rumble of the ongoing battle. The island was heavily patrolled, the security forces looking for any signs of disturbance. But Tobias knew where to look—places where shadows hid the secrets of the city's underworld, where the wealthy and powerful could slip in and out unnoticed.
He and his friends split up, each taking a different part of the island. They would meet back at a designated location once they had gathered enough information. But as the hours ticked by, Tobias found himself increasingly frustrated. There were no signs of the siblings. No whispers, no rumors, nothing. It was as though they had vanished into thin air.
He gritted his teeth, the frustration building. “They’ve got to be here. Somewhere.”
Suddenly, Luna’s voice crackled through the comms. “Tobias, we’ve got something. A lead.”

**The Confrontation**
They met in a quiet alley off the main street, where Luna had found a local who had seen two individuals matching the description of Ivy’s siblings. They were hiding in an old warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
Tobias didn’t waste any time. He motioned for the group to follow him, his pace quickening. This was it. The moment he had been waiting for.
As they approached the warehouse, they could see the faint silhouette of two figures standing at the entrance, looking out toward the street. They were well-hidden, but not enough to escape Tobias’ sharp eyes.
“Stay back,” Tobias whispered. He wasn’t about to risk everything on a hunch. He moved closer, using the cover of shadows to remain unseen.
He could feel the tension in the air, the beating of his heart in his chest as he moved closer to the siblings. This was a confrontation he had been waiting for, a chance to finally make things right.
But as he stepped forward, one of the siblings turned around—Ivy’s younger brother, a look of surprise crossing his face.
Before Tobias could react, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed in the distance. It was too late.

**The Battle for Control**
The quiet warehouse erupted into chaos. The siblings’ security detail had been alerted to their presence. Tobias and his friends were outnumbered, and the odds weren’t in their favor. A brief firefight broke out as Tobias fought tooth and nail to gain the upper hand.
Amid the clash, Tobias realized that this wasn’t just about revenge. This wasn’t about finishing the fight with Miyu once and for all. The siblings were pawns in a larger game, caught up in something they had no control over.
But that didn’t matter right now. All that mattered was stopping them from escaping, from becoming more untouchable than ever before.

**The Escape**
Despite the chaos, the siblings managed to break free, disappearing into the winding alleys of Salibad. They had what they needed—a window of opportunity to escape into the underworld of the island.
Tobias clenched his fists. This wasn’t over. They had slipped away, but he wouldn’t stop until they were brought to justice.
“We’ll find them,” he said through gritted teeth, his voice low and filled with determination. “They won’t get away with this.”
As he and his friends regrouped, the conflict with Starfleet raged on around them, but the real battle for Tobias had only just begun.
