They are twins.
They live on the trains. What was first their job has become their life, and they sleep tucked into a small cabin behind the driver's seat, defunct due to the automatic nature of the subway trains. They live robotic lives, like the schedule the network runs by. Everything is static, yet always in motion, never stopping yet never reaching a zenith.
They rarely see land that is still. Using technology from the stadiums in Nimbasa and the GTS, they move from the different lines with ease, from one train to another, following the battlers as they all duke it out, while they lie in wait for the successful ones.
Ingo works on the Single lines, because he enjoys the straightforward, one-on-one way of battling, where the rules are simple and the battles are not. But it is not his favourite method of winning.
Emmet works on the Double lines of the station, taking a thrill in the complications and partnering of two against two, seeing the move combinations, multiplying the possibilities. But it is not his favourite method of fighting.
The lines they both enjoy working on most are the Multi lines, where they can work together, fight together, win together. Where they feel complete and truly alive, next to each other in battle. Few best them when they are together, Ingo and Emmet, black and white, two halves of the same whole. They are the Subway Bosses, Gods of the Underground, nearly untouchable in battle.
But as humans, they are untouchable. No one could be closer than them, and perhaps that is why they like trains so much: no one can speculate if someone is in their life for less than a few minutes, no one sees the whole picture, no one knows. And it is perfect that way, passing in and out of everyone's lives before they comprehend anything about the twins. No one sees how they share the tiny bed in the old driver's cabin. No one sees how they share everything, hearts, souls, minds. No one sees the connection between them, for they have come and gone in a flash, leaving only a snapshot.
They are the only ones who know it.
They are more than twins.
These two fascinate me.
