The storm.

Chapter 1

He searched high and low for them. Metal Bat remembered that Knuckle wanted to train with him on using a weapon in battle. He admired his technique from afar and figured that other weapons would work just as well or whatever the street debris was available to use. They were going to go over it today, however Bad hasn't seen either Brawler.

He ventured to the cafeteria, if anything, the brothers would be here if not on patrol.

"Hey, have any of you seen Street or Knuckle?"

"Not since yesterday, they left with Evo to do something important."

Metal Bat knew something was a miss now, the brothers were gone and they wouldn't be missing for a day, they were good at calling in their locations too. "This ain't right." He said. "Wait, has Evo come back?"

The Neo Heroes Bad spoke to shook their heads no. "No one has seen him either,"

This was starting to worry Bad, he decided to go to the source of it all. Accel. His hands were full at the moment, constant calls from people who were complaining about the Neo Heroes refusing help from the Association, it was the headache he didn't need at the moment. Bad was about to add to it, there was no other choice. "Accel!" he called.

"Bad, I can't right now."

"You got to, the Brawlers are missing, and so is Evo."

"What!" came the voice of Ran and Shaw. They were just walking by in the halls when they heard Bad announce the brothers' sudden disappearance. "How long?"

"A day… but it's not like them to be gone a day, they normally call, right?"

"Check the room, make sure they took their devices with them!" Ran announced.

Shaw rushed to the sleeping quarters, Ran however pulled Bad out of Accel's office, and he was taking another call and was too preoccupied to care. "Bad, this is serious, tell me when the was the last time you saw them!"

Bad thought it over. "I guess the day before, they went out for a walk or something, yet came back and decided to go talk to Evo. About what, I dunno man."

Shaw was quick to return. "They didn't take their things, their cellphones are on the side of the dressers. This isn't like them at all!" Shaw appeared worried now.

"We have to call…" Ran however stopped himself. "We can't…" he whispered and then began to think things over.

"Whoa, wait, what's going on here? You two know something?" Bad demanded.

Shaw glared at him, but nodded. "With us NOW" he ordered.

Bad was dragged out of the Neo Heroes base, and then forced down the street. "Whoa, wait, what's going on, where are we going?" he demanded.

Shaw however walked on ahead, he was on his phone making an urgent call. "It's me… you need to pick us up right away. The Brawlers are in danger… it's time." He said and hung up shortly after.

Bad wrenched his arm out of Ran's grasp. "Seriously, what the hell is going on here!" he demanded. "What are you two rambling about? Who were you talking to!?"

The brothers looked to each other before they turned to Bad. "We haven't quite been honest with you, nor to the other Neo Heroes to say the least…" Ran said with great uncertainty, he turned to Shaw who stepped forward and gave a sigh.

"Bad… We've worked together before. You know be better as Silverfang…"
