Bond Forger/Synopsis

History
Bond was known as Subject 8 from a research initiative called "Project Apple", conducted by the previous Ostanian regime for the purpose of producing highly intelligent animals from a variety of species. When the research was terminated by the new administration, the former test subjects, including Bond, ended up in the black market. Eventually, they fell in the hands of the terrorist group led by Keith Kepler and were crudely trained as bomb dogs.

During his time as a test subject, he is shown to be treated cruelly and deemed replaceable by the researchers as he is fed disgusting food, frequently given shots, and electrocuted at a high voltage.

Stella Star Arc
Two men enter a poorly maintained room full of dogs in small cages and pour disgusting food on the dogs’ plates. As they comment on their poor state, Bond's ears perk up as he gets a vision of the Forgers happily smiling at him.

Doggy Crisis Arc
Two men from the terrorist group are taking Bond and a German Shepherd out on a walk. One of the men leaves to get coffee from a shop, leaving the dogs alone with the other man. While waiting, Bond's ears perk up as he looks at a boy happily running in the streets, and he suddenly runs towards the boy, pulling him backward. Abruptly, a board falls off the building onto where the boy was previously standing. The shocked boy thanks Bond, who gets retrieved by the terrorists. At the adoption fair, Anya looks outside to see Bond passing by, and she is surprised at his large size. As they notice each other and make eye contact, Bond recognizes her from his previous vision and Anya is able to read his mind to see the vision as well. She sees herself and her family in the vision, and her curiosity is piqued. Anya quietly sneaks away from Yor to follow Bond and his caretakers toward their hideout. Entering the room where Bond is, she overhears the terrorists' plan to assassinate Minister Brantz. As she realizes where she is, she bumps into Kurt, who grabs her before she can try to escape.

As Keith Kepler orders his subordinates to kill Anya, Bond chews through his leash and jumps in front of Anya to defend her. While still submissive to the terrorists, he barks defiantly at them. Keith draws his knife to Anya, and Bond's ears perk up, having received a new vision. He barks at Anya, who reads his mind and foresees a phone ringing. Shortly after, the phone rings, distracting the terrorists long enough for Bond to grab Anya and escape the building.

While they run, Anya realizes Bond's powers. She tries telling Bond where to go, but he inadvertently runs in a circle going back to Keith. The two are cornered, and before Anya is killed, Yor jumps in to save her, knocking out Kurt and scaring away Keith. While Yor makes a report to the police, Bond has another vision. Anya reads his mind and sees the first vision, which changes with Loid disappearing from it, leaving Anya and Yor saddened. She then sees a clock tower ringing, followed by an explosion in the city that kills Loid and sparks another war. Determined to change the future and save her father, Anya runs off to the clock tower with Bond, telling Yor that she needs to bring Loid toilet paper.

After Anya and Bond arrive at the clock tower, Bond picks up Keith's scent and drags Anya around a corner to hide. The German Shepherd with Keith smells and spots the two but does not alert its master. After reading Keith's mind, Anya and Bond head to the bomb's location. There, Anya realizes she cannot defuse it by herself and decides to leave a warning in ketchup for Loid. The two head outside and wait for the predetermined time of the explosion. When it arrives, Bond's premonition returns to a future with Loid alive and well, as thanks to Anya’s message, he prevented the explosion. Anya celebrates with Bond, knowing that they saved the future. After Keith is caught, Bond helps Anya get to the pet store, reuniting her with her family. After hearing Yor and Anya's stories, Loid thanks Bond for protecting Anya. Members of WISE impersonating members of the State Security Service show up and report that they need to take the dogs that the terrorists had used, including Bond. An upset Anya declares that she wants to keep Bond and says she will stop going to school if she cannot have him. Handler decides it would be fine after they examine him overnight. The next day, Bond arrives at 128 Park Avenue with a warm welcome from the Forgers. Bond is initially nervous, remembering his poor treatment as a science experiment. Anya assures him that he is now part of their family, and he barks happily.

After Anya returns home from school, Bond excitedly welcomes her by trampling her. The family decide to take Bond out for a walk while Anya struggles to think of a name for him. When they arrive at the park, Anya enthusiastically wants to play fetch with Bond. She throws her boot, hoping that he will go after it, but ends up doing it herself. She wonders if it is because he has no name yet, so she goes around the park asking dog owners for their dogs' names to help come up with one.

When the family gets ready to leave, Anya realizes her gloves are missing. Bond sniffs for the gloves and finds them in a bulldog's mouth. When the bulldog becomes possessive of the gloves, Bond scares it into dropping them, allowing him to pick them up and return them to Anya. This act causes Anya to recall a similar scene in Spy Wars, making her realize the perfect dog name.

When they get home, Anya wraps a bowtie collar around the dog's neck and introduces her parents to "Bond." The whole family, including Bond, approves the name. Anya gets out Bond's food and pours it into a bowl for him. While he eats, she sneaks a bite but realizes it does not taste good. She notices Bond fidgeting, so she takes him to his "toilet," where he uses the litter box to poop. The two then head to the TV to watch Spy Wars. While they play, Loid tells her to be ready to study once he is out of the bath. While he does this, Anya and Bond fall asleep, curled against each other on the floor after playing.

Midterm Exams Arc
While waiting for Yor to come home so the family can eat together, Anya shakes Bond, asking him to show her the dinner for the night. When Yor arrives and tells Loid and Anya to eat without her, Bond has a vision that shows Yor crying. The next night, Loid does obedience training with Bond and sees how bright he is. Yor then arrives and makes dinner. After her cooking is well-received by Loid and Anya, Yor cries while Bond sits on the side, watching silently.

The day before Anya's class, she requests Loid for a new family photo with Bond in it. She tries using this photo to show off Bond to Damian, but it ends up in Becky's hands, who keeps the picture for herself after falling head-over-heels for Loid. Anya then tries to replicate Bond's likeness through a paper model for the same goal but fails.

As Anya's midterm exams approach, she realizes she will not be able to cheat due to her power's weakness. Anya shakes Bond, asking him to show her the test answers. Anya instead sees hamburger steak, her supper for the night, causing her to forget all her worries. The next day, Bond relaxes in the house while Yuri makes his visit to help Anya with her studies. After eating all of Yor's homemade cookies before leaving, Yuri inadvertently drops some crumbs on the floor. Bond eats the crumbs, causing him to drop to the floor.

Campbelldon Tennis Arc
Loid and Anya decide to take Bond out for a walk and arrive home early when it starts looking like it will rain soon.

Yor takes Anya and Bond to the park, where they play tennis together. When Loid arrives with Fiona, Bond watches with the others as Yor and Fiona play a game of tennis.

When Loid and Yor go on a night out together, Anya and Bond stay at home while Franky looks after them.

Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc
While lying on the couch, Bond receives a vision where everything is pitch black. He wonders what it means and assumes a scientist from Project Apple will come to kill him. As Bond frets, he sees the family photos and imagines the Forgers mourning for him but says he died happily. Bond accepts his fate and goes to Anya's room to say goodbye, but she says she is busy with homework and shuts the door on him. Bond trudges to Yor, who apologizes to him for forgetting to buy more dog food. And because Loid is out working, Yor decides to cook Bond’s dinner.

At that moment, Bond’s vision changes and reveals him dying from eating Yor’s dinner. Bond starts to panic, then realizes he can refuse to eat the food. However, he recalls Anya telling him that Yor will kill him if he makes her upset and imagines her killing him when he refuses. Bond starts thrashing around the house in defiance but comes up with an idea: if Loid comes home early, he can make Bond’s dinner and, in turn, prevent his death. With this resolve, the family dog unlocks the door and runs away, bewildering Yor.

Bond runs around the streets of Berlint, sniffing for Loid’s scent. He comes across a hot dog stand and gets shooed away by the owner. Bond imagines Yor getting mad at him for running away, so he leaves. As he runs into all kinds of trouble, a tired Bond sees the sun setting and becomes disheartened. However, after his stomach grumbles, he resolves to find Loid and continues with his search.

He eventually tracks down Loid, who is outside the Born Industries facility for an urgent side mission. Bond happily jumps to Loid, who is surprised to see him there, and tells him to go home. Bond refuses and tries to explain his situation to Loid. Loid does not understand, so Bond guides him to a route free of people. Loid wonders how Bond knows this and recalls that Born Industries was presumably involved with Project Apple. Assuming Bond knows this and wants payback against the scientists who abused him and his friends as test subjects, Loid lets him tag along to complete their missions.

The two infiltrate the facility and make their way to the laboratory, which is full of specimen lockers, one of them containing the serum. While Loid works to find it, Bond has another vision. He foresees the staff returning to the lab, forcing Loid to hold them off, and orders Bond to run home. Bond becomes distressed and warns Loid to hide. Before hiding, Loid leaves a note saying the Gerrulimus has been stolen for the staff to see, leading them to open and check the locker with the serum. Loid and a masked Bond jump down on the men and knock them out. Loid thanks Bond as he retrieves the sample and says he can go home early. As a result, Bond has a vision of Loid making his dinner and Yor happy for his safety, and he barks for joy.

When Anya returns home to show Loid her test grades, he cheers her up by saying he made hamburg steak for dinner. Yor adds that she tried to make dessert, and Bond barks in horror.

Great Cruise Adventure Arc
After Anya wins two tickets to a luxury cruise, she expresses her excitement about going to the ocean. Bond chimes in with a bark, but he is shocked when Anya says he is not coming. When the Forgers leave for the trip, a sad Bond stays at home with Franky.

Franky takes Bond out for a walk early in the morning, which he is not too keen on doing. Franky rants at Bond about wanting to do his own thing rather than be the Forger's pet sitter and babysitter. However, after encountering a woman with her puppy at the park, Franky proposes that Bond become his dog.

When Loid, Yor, and Anya return from the trip, a crying Bond welcomes Anya home. Bond later joins the family while they commune in the living room.

WISE Arc
Bond lunges at Franky and bites his cloth-covered arm. At the park, Loid is training Bond to immobilize targets without fatally wounding them. As Franky yells at Bond for biting him, Bond inadvertently lets go of his arm. Loid scolds Bond for releasing the target and muses that Bond is too kind to bark and bite. Loid decides to move on to scent work and explosives detection, but Bond looks forlorn upon hearing him, reminded of his bad memories at Project Apple. Franky tells Loid that he should make the training fun for Bond and leaves. Accepting his suggestion, Loid takes Bond for a walk through the streets.

While walking, Bond sees a vision of a boy dropping his ice cream and crying. He looks around and spots the same boy holding the ice cream and makes a plan to prevent the fall of his ice cream and receive Loid's praise. Bond runs forward and tries to stop the boy, but his actions end up causing the boy's ice cream to fall, leaving the child in tears. After Loid apologizes and buys him new ice cream with an extra scoop, he scolds Bond for his behavior.

Bond once again receives a vision, this time of an old man getting hit by a bicycle. He quickly runs over to the man and pulls him by the coat, saving him, but also angering him greatly. Loid angrily scolds Bond for biting strangers and is confused at Bond's actions despite his lack of disciplinary problems. Bond has another vision but chooses to ignore it after imagining an angry Loid sending him back to the pound.

Suddenly, Bond foresees an apartment in flames as a woman cries out for her 'Daisy.' Using his nose, he is able to pinpoint where the apartment is and tries running toward it. Loid initially holds him back but relents when Bond loudly barks at him. They arrive at the building, where Loid asks if anyone is still inside. Recalling his vision, Bond gnaws off his leash and runs into the building, with Loid following behind. Bond runs to one of the apartment rooms and picks up 'Dasiy,' a small puppy. They try to leave the building, but a flaming pile of rubble falls and blocks the way out. Seeing their troubling situation, Bond begins to panic.

Loid quickly makes a plan to make their escape through the fire escape on the north side. Bond foresees the floor ahead of them collapsing, so he stops Loid from moving. After the event in the vision passes, Loid thanks Bond for saving him, mistakenly believing it was Bond's nose that was able to detect the collapse. Seeing the amount of smoke, Loid uses a plastic bag to make a crude oxygen tank, allowing them to cross the areas with smoke and puts Daisy in a backpack.

The two jump out of the second-floor window and remove Daisy from the backpack after landing. An old man nearby expresses his surprise at their efforts to save Daisy. They realize Bond is on fire and quickly douse him with a bucket of water. With his fur wet, Bond's body is revealed to be skinny and Loid has to stifle his laughter, to Bond's embarrassment. Bond catches a scent and tries to shake off the water before running somewhere.

Bond jumps at a man hiding behind the corner and bites his leg. Panicked, the man reveals a knife from his bag and tries to hurt Bond, but Loid quickly immobilizes him and ties him up with a cord, deciding to let the police handle him.

Outside the apartment, the woman happily reunites with Daisy, hugging her. Bond smiles at the sight of the happy owner and dog. As the old man informs the woman of her saviors, Loid decides to leave discretely to avoid attention. He pats Bond and praises him for his actions. Bond thinks Loid will scold him for biting the legs earlier, but Loid reminds him to be careful as his family will worry about him. He apologizes for trying to train Bond so hard. Bond happily nuzzles up against Loid, which embarrasses him. As they return home, Loid plans for them to go to the dog park the next day and Bond barks in agreement.
