Chapter 7: War between Twins

Within hours of the hotel incident, all the pieces of electronic that belonged to the hotel was cleaned up. When all of Team JNPR were back in their room and Ren regained consciousness, Jaune and Nora eagerly told them what happened and what they learned. Ren and Pyrrha were extremely shocked by the revelation that the kind man that helped them on their first day on this world was also the brutal Agent-A.

They were currently sitting at the small kitchen of their hotel room, drinking different drinks while Jaune and Nora were finishing up explaining everything.

"This is...hard to process." Pyrrha stated as she absentmindedly sipped her coffee. Thinking to herself about how this made what Violet told her and Jaune about how Ed killed the guy that was abusing her make sense.

"I can't believe it either." Ren said in agreement, blankly staring at his reflection in his tea.

"I almost didn't believe it and I was there!" Nora added, drinking one of the sodas that James allowed her to scavenge from the vending machine she had to put down, saying that it was the least he could do after she saved him before. This soda was the third one she drank so far.

"I'm just glad I was able to convince him not to kill Y-irus." Jaune said, a cup of ice water sitting in front of him. "Plus I was able to convince him to spare Roman if we keep his identity a secret."

Ren smiled, taking a sip of his tea and letting the lukewarm drink warm his stomach. "That's nice to know, we should probably check on him tomorrow and see if there's anything we should know about criminals that Roman might ally himself with." Ren stated as he took another sip of tea.

Pyrrha nodded in agreement. "You're right, he's lived here a lot longer then we have and considering what he does, I bet he knows some places we can look."

"Sounds like a plan!" Jaune drank the rest of his water. "Let's head to bed now. After everything that happened today, that's the only place I want to be right now."

"That's probably a good idea. Nora what do you-" Ren glanced over at Nora, stopping mid sentence when he saw that her head was already resting on the counter, fast asleep while cradling her now empty can of soda. Ren smiled at Nora.

"Well that answers the question for us." Pyrrha said as she finished her rosemary tea and got up. She went over to Nora and picked her up bridle style.

Jaune and Ren said goodnight before retiring to their room, finally ending the long day.

After a good night's rest, the team woke up and got ready for the day ahead of them. While they were eating, James came along and told them that Nora and Ren could take the day off because they needed to get new computers and phones to replace all the ones that weren't salvageable. The four were happy about this because that allowed them all to go see Ed, though Nora seemed a bit more excited to see Violet.

Ten minutes later they left the building and decided to head towards Ed's electronic store instead, figuring that he would be there by now. It took them a little over an hour to arrive at Ed's shop. They poked their heads through the opened door to see that Ed was indeed there and was currently helping a beautiful woman with what looked like a projector.

"-and after you do that, you turn this to get the projection to focus it." Ed finished explaining how a projector works. The women smiled at Ed, using her hand to move stray hair away from her eye.

"Thank you for explaining all this for me, this is the first time I ever used a projector like this." The women explained.

Ed smiled back. "Don't mention it, it's what I do." Ed said, before he started to blush. "So uh...are you seeing anyone?" The women looked at him in confusion before she put the pieces together.

"I'm sorry, you're a nice guy and all but I'm not really looking to date anyone at the moment." The women told him as gently as possible.

Ed's heart sank to his stomach. "Oh...I see." Ed said as his face went blank and stayed silent for several moments. The women stood there for a few seconds, unsure on what to say or do. Eventually she decided that she should just leave.

"Um, okay then. Thanks again for the instructions." She scooped up her projector and quickly went out the shop, passing the four without glancing at them in her hurry to get away from the awkward silence.

Once she was gone, Ed back slumped and started to smack his forehead on the counter repeatedly with the blank look still on his face.

The team couldn't help but wince after one particularly loud and painful sounding thud.

"Well that ended badly." Jaune said, feeling sympathy for Ed and knowing his pain.

"Is this really the same man who can kill murderers without hesitation?" Ren couldn't help but whisper just in case someone was close enough to them to hear.

"Looks like woman are his weakness." Pyrrha observed. Nora was too busy laughing at the situation to add anything. At that point, they decided to enter the shop right as Ed stopped smacking his head on the counter. Ed looked up to see them walking in and straightened himself up.

"Uh...hi your four...what brings you guys here?" Ed said, trying to look like nothing humiliating just happened but failing because his head was red from the counter abuse.

"Ed...is everything alright?" Jaune cautiously asked the glasses wearing man. Said man tried to smile to show that he was okay, but before long he frowned and sighed, looking as miserable as he was.

"Not really, just another failed attempt to get a date." Ed finally confessed.

"Come now, it can't be that bad." Ren said to cheer the older man up.

"This was the 351st time this month alone that I was rejected by someone." Ed clarified.

"Yikes!" Pyrrha stated what they all were saying.

"Yeah, I sometimes can't believe my horrible luck with women." Ed said sadly before forcing a smile. "So what can I do for you three?"

They saw through his attempt to change the subject and went with it. "We were wondering if you found anything new out about Roman." Ren explained.

Ed shook his head. "I'm afraid that I hadn't had any luck with him. All I know is that It's like he just randomly came into existence from thin air and is already a big shot." Ed told them.

"I thought so." Pyrrha said disheartenly.

"The only thing I can think of is to wait until another big shot criminal that's associates with him to appear and beat the information from them." Ed described his plan of action.

"That's probably for the best." Jaune agreed before smiling. "But while we're here, why don't I help you with your problem."

Ed looked at the blonde with skepticism and confusion.

"And what problem would that be?" Ed asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Getting you a date." Jaune told him. The room felt like the room temperature just dropped 10 degrees.

"Oh Oum." Ren whispered with a horrified expression.

Jaune ignored what Ren said and draped his arm over Ed's shoulder. "So this is how we'll get you a girl...through online dating." Jaune said, pausing in the middle for dramatic effect. The older man looked at Jaune with uncertainty.

"Online dating? Are you sure this is going to work." Despite his uncertainty, Ed felt a spark of hope.

"I'm certain that we'll get you together with some guaranteed." Jaune stated with confidence. Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha leaned towards each other.

"This is going to end in tears." Ren predicted.

"I bet five bucks that this will end horribly for Jaune." Nora whispered so Jaune and Ed couldn't hear them.

"Ten dollars that this will end horribly for Ed." Pyrrha replied, knowing that Jaune wasn't the best person to get dating advice from.

Nora grinned. "You're on." Nora and Pyrrha shook on it while the vigilante disguised as an Electronic store Manager and the Blonde leader made plans that will land Ed a date.

Somewhere in the city, a new coffee shop had recently opened up and was already brimming with business. Some of the people where standing in line to order their drink while others sat at tables outside, drinking their caffeine drinks happily. Among the patrons sitting outside the shop were three individuals sitting at a table.

The first person was wearing black jeans and had a loose chain wrapped into a ring hanging out of his pocket. Over his torso he wore a red hoodie jacket with a skull with a lightning bolt shaped crack on top of the skull on his left sleeve. The hood was draped over his head, hiding his face from view. The second one was wearing blue jeans and a dark blue hoodie jacket just like the first one, except her had a peace sign on his right jacket sleeve. He also wore his hood over his head that hide his face. The last person was a young brown haired woman with blue eyes and glasses that looked to be 23 years old. She wore a green jacket over a blue tee-shirt along with blue jeans and black shoes.

The woman had a laptop in front of her and was currently typing away really fast.

The person in the red hoodie was getting irritated by the constant noises of her fingers hitting the keyboard.

"Sydney, what the hell are you even doing?" The red jacket man rudely asked.

The woman, now known as Sydney, didn't even bother look up from her computer. "Nothing really Akeiro, just messaging my folks back home and signing up for online dating." Sydney replied as she continued to type away.

The young man in the blue jacket tilted his head in confusion. "What's…online dating?" The young man asked.

Sydney giggled as she closed her laptop. "It's simple really Carzon, online dating is a way for people to get together and learn about each other without being face to face." Sydney explained.

Akeiro scoffed as he stuffed his hands in his jacket pockets. "I really don't understand why you humans even bother to date each other." Akeiro voiced, finding the whole concept ridiculous. Sydney shook her head and smiled knowingly.

"Just believe me, one day you both will fall in love with the girls of your dreams" Sydney predicted.

Carzon sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm sorry Sydney; I just don't get what you're saying."

Sydney sighed. "Akeiro, Carzon there's so much that you two need to know if you ever want to understand Earth." Sydney told them. Akeiro was silent for a moment before he raised his hand, revealing his three fingered metal hand. He took his raised hand and reached for the edge of his hood and lifted it enough to show Sydney his metal face and the large singular blue eye in the middle of his head. The center of his eye had a large x with a small circle in the middle.

"It's easy for you to say Sydney. You've been here since you've been born while we been on this damn rock for only six months and we barely understand the differences between you human genders." Akeiro said angrily.

Carzon started to panic. "Brother! You need to be careful or people will notice you!" Carzon pleaded with his brother. Sydney gently placed her hand on Akeiro's arm.

"He's right; we can't allow you being seen and being taken by the government." Sydney tried to reason with the irate alien.

Akeiro pulled his hood over his face and stuffed his hand in his pocket.

"Not my fault that humans are racist against people like us." Akeiro said nonchalantly. Sydney looked at him sympathetically.

"Their not racist against you, they just don't understand Aliens yet is all." Sydney tried to defend her species.

Akeiro just shrugs. "Whatever." The robotic alien replied standoffish as a male waiter carrying a cup of mocha latté

"Here you go ma'am, one medium sized mocha latté." The waiter said with a smile as he placed the cup in front of her and walked.

"Thank you sir." The brown haired woman called out as she lifts it up to her lips and sipped it, sighing in content. Just then, her laptop started to beep. Sydney's eyes widen as she hastily placed it on the table and opened her laptop.

After she woke up her computer, she looked at her profile and smiled. "Yes! I already have someone who's asking me out!" Sydney exclaimed happily.

Akeiro and Carzon looks over her shoulder to see a picture of a black haired man with glasses who was smiling awkwardly at the camera.

"...If that's the kind of smile that you find attractive, then I fear for your kind." Akeiro bluntly stated. Sydney swatted his arm; ignore the pain in her hand from hitting his hard body.

"Oh shut up." Sydney playfully scolded him.

"Guys please, we shouldn't make a scene." Carzon nervously said as he started to look around to see if anyone was looking at them.

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Everything is going to be fine Carzon." She assured him before looking at the man's profile. "Says here that his name is Edward Charles, and he actually lives in the city! He wants to meet me at General Burgers at 5."

"Well I can't see how this will go wrong." Akeiro sarcastically said as he stretched his arms.

"Well...I'm sort of nervous about meeting new people." Carzon admitted timidly.

Sydney started to shake her hands in front of her. "No, no. I mean he wants to meet me for a date." Sydney quickly explained. "So it's just going to be me and him."

"So what the hell are we supposed to do?" Akeiro demanded, crossing his arms.

"What I want you two do is stay here until I get back." Sydney told them. "I don't want you two to go wandering around the city and getting lost."

"Okay Sydney." Carzon happily replied while Akeiro scowled. Sydney gathered up her laptop and drink, sliding her computer in her computer bag on her side.

"Alright you two, I'll try not to be gone too long." Sydney stated before giving the red jacket wearing alien a stern look. "And Akeiro, don't get into any fights."

"I make no promises." Akeiro quickly replied. The young women gave them one more glance before walking away.

The duo sat there until Sydney was no longer in sight. "Well I'm bored, let's go." Akeiro told his brother in a bored voice as he stood up and stretched.

"But...Sydney said to stay here." Carzon tried to reason to his more hot-tempered brother.

"Since when did I ever listening to what she said?" Akeiro challenged his counterpart.

"Well...um...ah." Carzon tried to think of a time that Akeiro ever listened to any request she gave him, only to sigh when he remembered that he never did once.

"Yeah, thought so." Akeiro turned and started to walk off. "See ya; I'm going to look for something entertaining to do."

Carzon sat frozen to his seat, conflicted on whether or not he should tell him to come back or go with him.

"AKEIRO!" Carzon yelled as he leapt out of the chair and bounded towards his brother, deciding on tagging alone to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble.

From a far-off distance, two figures were watching their movements with rapt attention. Without a word, they two strangers started to follow the two aliens, making sure to keep a safe distance from them.

Back at Ed's house, Ed was starting to feel nervous after Sydney agreed to meet him.

"Alright, now that the date is set up and you look presentable, all you need to do is make a great first impression." Jaune couched Ed while they were in the living room. After Jaune helped Ed set up an account to one of the dating websites, they went through the list of women that were looking for someone when they came across. Ed, still feeling hesitant, wasn't sure that this was a good idea but was convinced by Jaune to go for it. After sending a message to the brown haired girl, it only took a few minutes for her to reply and accepted the date offer. After that, Jaune basically dragged Ed home to get him ready for the date. So now, an hour later, Ed was ready for the date.

"Kid, I've seen things that you wouldn't believe. I fought against various criminals that thought they were hot stuff to deranged murders that were the things of nightmares and won. I think I can make a decent first impression." Ed told them, an aura of confidence radiating off him in waves.

"And yet you have trouble talking to beautiful women." Pyrrha pointed out.

"Yeah well...over the years I kept mostly to myself. Can you blame me?" Ed asked her.

"You're going to be just fine." Jaune assured him. "I can guarantee that this date will go perfectly for you, you just need to bring up some cool things about yourself."

Ed smiled at Jaune. "Your right Jaune, I just need to- Wait where's Violet?" Ed asked, remembering that Violet was next to him not even five minutes ago.

"Ohmygoshyou'rejustthecutestthingintheworld!" Nora said quickly. "I'll never let you go again!" Everyone turned to the corner of the room to see Nora was currently hugging the life out of Violet, the young cat girl's face pressed to the side of Nora's chest.

"Save me." Violet cried, wanting nothing else but to get away from the crazy lady.

"Nora, put her down." Ren said sternly.

In retaliation, Nora flashed him with a dose of the infamous puppy dog eyes. "But she looks adorable." Nora whined, tightening her hold on the five year old.

"You're choking her!" Pyrrha exclaimed. True to her words, Violet's face was starting to turn blue.

"But-" Nora started to say.

"PUT HER DOWN!" Everyone in the room yelled in unison. Nora reared back at everyone yelling and slackens her hold on Violet.

"...Fine." Nora said with her eyes casted downwards. Violet took this opportunity to get out of Nora's limp hold and rushed to her father, hiding behind him while eyeing Nora nervously.

"Nora, I know that you love children, but you can't just keep hugging them to death like that." Ren reasoned with her.

"...Alright." Nora replied without any live behind it.

"Since we have that out of the way, let's get you to the restaurant." Pyrrha told Ed, not wanting to dwell on what happened and her friend's lifeless look.

"Sure." Ed replied with a mixture of eagerness and nervousness. "But who's going to watch Violet?" Nora's eyes brightens and was about to raises her hand. "Pick m-" "Anyone except Nora." Ed quickly interrupted, knowing that Nora might end up killing her daughter with hugs if left alone with her.

Nora's rekindled happiness was quick to extinguish, until Ren intervened on her behalf. "Both me and Nora can watched her." Ren told Ed, hating to see Nora so miserable.

The result was instant, Nora's heart soared in glee while Violet's heart dropped in dread. "Please don't leave me with her!" Violet pegged both Ren and her father.

Ren went over to Violet and crouched to her height, smiling reassuringly to her. "Don't worry; I'll make sure that Nora doesn't come near you." Ren told her.

Violet felt more at ease at Ren's words.

"Alright, I'm going to trust you two with to look after Violet for me." Ed told Ren and Nora, his eyes lingering on Nora. "...If you make my daughter fell uncomfortable again and there will be a red stain for the city to clean up." To illustrate his point, Ed gave Nora the Evil Eyes look that caused everyone in the room to freeze like stone statues except for Violet.

"O...O...Okay!" Nora stuttered out, her eyes bugged out in fear.

"Now I understand why he's called the Dark Vigilante." Jaune whispered to Pyrrha who nodded.

Violet was easily able to put on a poker face and refrained from laughing, knowing that her daddy was lying and was just trying to scare Nora.

Though she wasn't going to tell them that anytime soon.

"Anyway, we should get going." Ed stated. "You three take care." Ed, Pyrrha, and Jaune made their way out of the house and headed towards the restaurant, Leaving Violet alone with Ren and Nora.

"So what do you want to do Violet?" Ren asked the white haired girl.

"How about Hide and Seek? This house should be big enough to have a few good hiding spots." Nora said calmly, any trace of her previous fear appearing to be gone. While she was skeptical about Nora's intentions, Violet wouldn't lie and say that she wasn't interested in playing Hide and Seek.

"...Okay." Violet replied.

Meanwhile at the Tartarus Club, Roman was sitting in his chair and smoking while having a conversation with the Malachite sister, a serious look on his face while Melanie looked less then pleased.

"So what your telling us is that you want Militia and I to deal with that loser team now?" Melanie asked the orange haired criminal in front of them.

"Precisely!" Roman replied, getting up and walked to the window in the room to stare out in towards the city with a tired look. "They've been sticking their noses where they don't belong and not only defeated Mr. 10 with the help of Agent-A, but they managed to take down Android-A and that good for nothing mercenary as well!" Roman slammed his fist on the window sill, causing the window to vibrate from the shock. "At this rate those brats and that vigilante is going to find us and screw everything up! The only good thing to happen news is that there have been some rumors in the grapevine that there are two particularly interesting criminals that have been spotted in the city. And from what I heard, they are some real pieces of work."

"What do you mean?" Militia asked in concern. Roman didn't answer, instead he moved towards the desk and grab two files and handed it to the twins.

The twins each took a file and opened them at the same time, looking confused by what they were looking at. The file that Melanie was looking through had a picture of a robotic life form that had one, large white eye with a line going across it vertically. This robot was mostly wearing black street clothes and sported metallic Mohawk on top of his head. His fingers were pointed and sharp with spikes protruding from his knuckles.

The profile that Militia was leafing through showed a similar robotic life form as the one in Melanie's file, as if they were siblings. Unlike the other one, this robot's eye was black and had a cross with a circle in the center of his eye instead of white and was wearing a white tuxedo with a black dress shirt underneath the tux and a white tie. A white top hat was balanced on top of his head. In his right hand was a can with a gun shaped handle.

"Who are these two weirdoes?" Melanie asked, not able to make neither heads nor tails from the two brothers. For once in the meeting, Roman smirked.

"You see, their names are Kasai and Shinshi. They are both known for committing a large array of different crimes and proud of it.

"And what makes them important?" Militia asked. Roman took his cigar out and tapped it a few times to get the ashes off before returning it to his mouth.

"It's not them that is important, but their creator." Roman explained as he pulled out a third folder and opens it to reveal a wearing a white costume covering his entire body with an open black jacket covering his torso. On his face was a red V shaped visor. "This, my fine little lotus's, is the creator of Kasai and Shinshi. His name...is Light-Warrior." Roman paused for dramatic effect. "Sound familiar?"

What Roman was expecting was some sort of surprised reaction, even if it was one of mild shock. To his disappointment, the only reaction he got from them was a confused look from Militia and a blank, bored look from Melanie.

"Who?" Melanie asked in an unenthusiastic tone.

Roman simply stared at them, completely dumbstruck at the fact that they didn't know. "Weren't you two listening to what the statues were saying?!" Roman demanded.

Melanie shrugged. "All I heard was 'Blah blah blah they can talk?! Blah blah blah pure hearts." Melanie told him, showing that she really wasn't pay attention to the statue's conversation with the teams.

Roman's eyes twitched dangerously. "I'm starting to wonder why Junior even brought you with us." Roman stated with sigh.

"Because we're hot." Melanie said.

"And he knows it." Militia added. "So why is Light-Warrior important?"

"Well...if you two actually bothered to pay attention, the statues stated that the two warriors, Light-Warrior and Dark-Warrior, had a connection to the scales." Roman explained. "So it wouldn't be bad to assume that this so called Light-Warrior could help us get the scale pieces. So if we can get his creations, they can lead us right to him and he can help us find the other pieces."

The twins nodded at his thought process.

"But before we get in contact with them, why don't you go and take care of our pressing pest problem?" Roman told them. They nodded and left the room, hoping to get this done fast before it became a headache.

At the local Four Star General Burger, Ed was sitting at a table patiently waiting for his date to arrive and nervously hoping that nothing goes wrong during the date. A few tables away, Jaune and Pyrrha were sharing a table together to make sure that Ed's date goes well.

Pyrrha turned and gave Jaune an unsure look. "Are you sure that this is going to work?" Pyrrha voiced her concern.

Jaune waved off her worry dismissively. "This is definitely going to work." Jaune assured her. "We even went over a few lines that he should say to her and everything. Nothing is going to go wrong."

Pyrrha smiled and nodded, not sharing her true thoughts to him. 'This is going to be a disaster.' Pyrrha thought to herself.

They heard the door opened and Jaune and Pyrrha looked up to see a brown haired girl walking in and looking around.

"Isn't that her?" Pyrrha whispered to Jaune.

"Yeah, that's her." Jaune remembered her from her profile picture.

Sydney looked around for a few moments before her eyes connected to Ed's eyes. She smiled and went over to the electronic store manager.

'Okay Ed, remember what Jaune told you.' Ed rehearsed in his head as Sydney stopped at his table.

"Are you Edward Charles?" The brown haired woman asked Ed, who nodded his head.

"Y-yeah, I'm him." Ed said before he stood up and held out his hand a blush on his cheeks. "But y-you can just call me Ed."

Sydney giggles and took his hand and shook. "Hi Ed, I'm Sydney Ohana. Nice to meet you." Sydney and Ed broke hand contact and sat down.

"And here...we...go." Jaune whispered, happy that everything is going okay so far. The blonde teen was sure that nothing could possibly go wrong.

At the same moment of when the date started, Akeiro was stomping around the city in hopes of finding something to do. Carzon was following behind him and calling out his name in hope that his brother will stop before they end up getting separated. However the red jacket wearing alien robot didn't stop or even slow down and decided to ignore his brother's call all together.

"Akeiro! Can you stop for just a second!" Carzon begged.

"You can stop walking, but I won't" Akeiro told him, walking faster.

"What are you even looking for?!" Carzon asked his brother as he started to sprint to keep up with the hot-tempered Akeiro.

"Someone to fight." Akiero stated.

Carzon sighed. "Why is it that you want to fight everyone every time we go places?" Carzon asked. "All you want to do is deck someone in the face. There's never a peaceful moment with you. We go to the movies; you try to punch the ticket guy. We go to the zoo then you go and punch the lion tamer. Then there was the time we went to the pet store to get Sydney a kitten and you wanted to pun-" Akeiro stopped and spun around that Carzon almost ran right into him. The red wearing alien pointed at Carzon with an angry stare.

"I'll let you know that fur ball had it coming!" Akeiro growled.

"And if I didn't get in the way, you would have seriously injured that poor defenseless kitten!" Carzon shot back. "You ended up cracking my eye!" Carzon reaching up and pulling his hood back enough to show Akeiro his large red eye with a circle in the middle with a line going down.

"Hey, at least you didn't die." Akeiro shrugged dismissively. "Plus we were able to repair the crack.

"My point is that you always want to fight and ruin every moment of peace and quiet that comes our way. Can't you just enjoy them while we can?" Carzon asked Akeiro.

Akeiro was silent for a moment as his body started to shake. "Have you forgotten why we're on Earth in the first place? Or why we are the last of our race? And why the freaking FBI and bounty hunters are after us?" Akeiro started off asking him in a deadly calm tone but started to sound more and angrier after each question.

Realizing that his brother was about to blow his top, Carzon tried to pacify him. "Akeiro I know you're angry about all of that, trust me I'm not thrilled about all that happening to us either, but-"

"BUT NOTHING!" Akeiro finally got fed up and yelled. Carzon nervously looked around to see people staring.

"Akeiro, you need to calm down." Carzon said as calmly as possible.

"NO! YOU CAN GO AND ENJOY YOUR DAMN PEACE ALL YOU WANT YOU COWARD!" Akeiro yelled before turning away from Carzon. "I'm out of here." With that, the red jacket clad alien stormed off, leaving his brother alone to watch him leave.

"...Akeiro?" Carzon whispered sadly, holding out his hand towards his brother's retreating form.

The peaceful blue jack wearing Alien didn't have time to be sad when he heard two sets of steps heading towards him before stopping.

"Hey! Isn't he that Shinshi guy Torchwick was talking about?" Militia asked her twin sister.

Carzon turns around and spots two similar looking girls a few feet away from him. They both were the same height with a pale complexion, long black hair, and green eyes. One of them was wearing a red dress while the other had a white dress on.

"He kind of does...but wasn't he supposed to be wearing a white hat and tuxedo?" Melanie answered before asking her own question.

"Maybe Roman made a mistake." Militia theorized.

"Yeah, you're probably right." Melanie agreed.

At this point Carzon, who was just standing there as the twins bantered with each other, decided to grab their attention. "Um...who are you two?" Carzon timidly asked the two members of Junior's group.

Militia turns to face Carzon with a smirk. "Oh I'm sorry, we're the Malachite twins-"

"-and we're here to break you into pieces." Melanie finished her sister's sentence. Carzon was still as a rock at their declaration.

"W-WHAT!?" Carzon yelled as he took a step back.

"You heard us bolt brains." Militia rudely told him, her and her sister walking slowly towards him menacingly without bothering to draw their weapons.

"So be a good robot and break for us." Melanie demanded. Carzon eye widened in fear as he took a few more steps back, waving his arms in front of him frantically.

"Oh man...can we talk about this for a moment?" Carzon nervously asked in the hope that they were in a talkative mood.

"Nope." Carzon's hopes for diplomacy were dashed the second that the twins simultaneously answered him without hesitation.

'Oh geez, oh geez, oh geez!' Carzon frantically thought when he felt something brush against his leg. He quickly looks down to see a small black and white cat rubbing it's head on his leg before it looked up at him with its yellow eyes.

"Meow." The cat meows as it cutely demanded to be picked up. A demand that Carzon was more than willing to fulfill.

"Perfect!" Carzon said gleefully as he crouched down and gently scooped up the cat. The twins gave him confused looks as he lowered his hood.

"What is he doing?" Melanie asked her sister.

"Maybe he plans to use that poor cat as a shield." Militia theorized with disgust written all over her face.

"...That punk, I wouldn't even sink that low." Melanie growled. Their assumptions on what Carzon was planning were, however, debunked when they noticed something was off about the alien robot. The first thing they noticed was that his metal hands and feet became more skeletal-like and the tips of his fingers and toes became blue tinted claws. From the sides of his head, two point cat ears sprung out while a silvery tail with blue spots poked out from his backside. Carzon blinked his eye, his pupil turning into a slit when he opened it back up.

Once his transformation was complete, Carzon placed the cat back on the ground. "You should run along now little fella." The neko-fied Carzon told the cat. "things are about to get intense." The cat started up at Carzon for a moment before taking off, putting a lot of distance between it and the fight.

By the time Carzon turned to look at the twins, they had taken out their weapons and were on guard.

"Seriously, what the hell just happened!" Melanie exclaimed, now feeling unsure about the situation.

"I don't know, but I'm not backing down!" Militia stated with her claws ready to tear into the peaceful alien in front of her. Carzon was also ready for a fight, taking on his fighting stance with his claws poised for attack. The twins and Carzon stared each other down in silence, silently daring the other to make the first move. After a minute, Carson broke the silence.

"Time to make like a cat and-" The Malachite twin's bodies tensed, ready to counter attack. "-and skedaddle." Carzon turned around and ran away as fast as his legs could carry him. The twins just stared at his retreating form, dumbstruck.

"Did...did he just run away from our fight?" Militia asked in a whisper. Her sister's turned red in rage, angry that she got all hyped for a fight for nothing.

"GET BACK HERE!" Melanie yelled before charging after the runaway Alien.

"SISTER! WAIT UP!" Militia yelled as she ran after her sister. They were all unaware that they were being watched by two figures on the roof that they were previously stander beside. These very same duo were also watching Sydney, Akeiro, and Carzon at the coffee shop and were the ones that the Malachite twins learned about hours before.

"I tell ya, we should've jumped that Akeiro bloke while he was still here." Kasai said in an Australian accent before smashing his fist on the edge of the roof, making a sizable dent in his fist's wake.

"Patience dear brother, you will get your chance." Shinshi told his brother in a posh English accent while twirling his cane with his fingers. "For now, how about you go after the red one, I will stay here and observe this chase?"

"And why are you so interested in that chase? Did one of those girls "meet you fancy?" or something?" Kasai said in a mock British voice. His brother couldn't help but scoff.

"Me? Interested in one of those tarts? Very unlikely my dear chap." Shinshi stated. "But I am interested in the fact that they appear that they were looking for us is all."

"Yeah, what about it?" Kasai asked.

"I can't really place my finger on it, but I can't help but feel that something is odd about those two. The fact that they're apparently looking for us and those unique weapons they wield intrigue me." Shinshi admitted to Kasai, who simply shrugged.

"Whatever you say mate, I'm going to go and beat the living hell out of Akeiro. After that, I'm going to rip off his head and keep it as a trophy." Kasai stated, feeling his bloodlust raising. Shinshi rolled his eye at his brother's antics.

"Very well, off you go then." Shinshi told him. "And try not to embarrass our master like you did last time." Kasai glared at his brother before shrugging it off.

"It won't matter either way, once I dealt with that little red prink, the boss will see me as the strongest of his creations. Then when he takes over the world, he's going to make me his right hand man!" Kasai declared before he ran towards the direction that Akeiro went, jumping from roof to roof.

Shinshi just shakes his head at his brother before he too starts to jump rooftop to rooftop to chase after the twins and Carzon, his curiosity consuming him.

Back at the burger restaurant, the date between Ed and Sydney had hit a snag. Due to Ed's bad social skills, he wasn't able to strike up a conversation without sounding nervous.

Sydney wasn't doing so well either and looked very nervous. Other then Akeiro and Carzon, she doesn't really hang out with that many guy and doesn't know what to do. From their table, Jaune and Pyrrha were watching them with dismay.

"This...isn't going anywhere." Pyrrha said mostly to herself.

"Seriously, doesn't Ed have any hobbies besides being a vigilante?" Jaune asked.

"Well you're the love expert here." Pyrrha said with a hint of sarcasm. "What should we do?"

Jaune closed his eyes and folded his arms, trying to think of a plan to save the failing date. After two minutes of thinking, Jaune's forehead started to crease and he started to get frustrated. After sighing, Jaune got up from his seat. "Give me a few minutes Pyrrha, I'm going to step out and get some fresh air."

Pyrrha nodded as Jaune went towards the entrance and left the restaurant. Once outside, Jaune started to walk in a random direction, hoping to clear his mind.

"Alright I should have figured that Ed's social skills weren't that good, but how can I fix this?" Jaune asked himself as he stopped walking after he walked a block away from the restaurant as he hopelessly tried to think of something. A moment later a figure wearing a red jacket bumped into him.

Akeiro was still seething because of his brother. So blinded by his anger, that he wasn't watching where he was going and ran into the blonde knight.

"Watch it blondie I'm walking here!" Akeiro yelled at Jaune who glared at the alien.

"Hey! You're the one who bumped into me!" Jaune argued, not in the mood to deal with this at the moment.

"Well maybe if you weren't standing in the middle of the sidewalk like a brain dead moron, then maybe I wouldn't have walked into you!" Akeiro growled.

Jaune bristled at being called a brain dead moron. "What is your deal pal?!" Jaune demanded. Akeiro grabbed Jaune by his shirt and pulled him closer to him.

"My 'deal' is idiots like you!" Akeiro roughly shoved Jaune, only for the blonde teen to grab the red hood and accidentally pull it down.

"Hey man, don't be such a...a...?" Jaune sentence was interrupted when Jaune realized that he was currently looking at the head of a robotic alien with a large, blue eye.

"W-What are you?!" Jaune stuttered, taking a step back from the alien robot. Akeiro groaned before cracking his knuckles.

"I'm the guy who's going to have to give you amnesia." Akeiro said, rearing back his fist to his Jaune in the head. Jaune's eyes widened at the escalated situation.

'And I thought that Yang had a bad temper.' Jaune couldn't help but think as the alien robot was about to punch him. Fortunately for Jaune, he was spared the pain of a metallic fist to the face by someone catching their attention. Unfortunately, that someone was less then friendly.

"Well, well, well; if it isn't my favorite red loser." Kasai said from the roof above them. Jaune and Akeiro look up to see the robotic man staring down at them with his large white eye.

"Oh great, another one." Jaune whispered to himself. "Who are you anyway?"

"Kasai." Akeiro answered with no small amount of hatred. If anything, the hatred in Akeiro's tone filled Kasai with glee.

"It's been a while mate, I've been waiting to beat the ever living hell out of you." Kasai stated, pounding his fist into his open hand for emphasis.

Akeiro hummed in amusement. "If I recall, last time we fought I tore out your head straight from your body." Akeiro said with fondness at the memory of ripping the head off his foe.

The white eyed robot started to make choking noises as his body shook in rage. "Screw you red boy!" Kasai yelled. "This time I'm going to cut your damn face in half!"

Jaune, who was following the aggressive conversation closely, decided that now was the time for him to leave. "Listen, since you two seem to be busy, I'm just going to go and let you two settle your differences." Jaune said as he slowly backed away.

"Hold it Blondie." Kasai said, making Jaune freeze in place. "After I'm done killing my...pal here, your next." Jaune could only stare at him in confusion and shock.

"What!? Why?!" Jaune cried out, finding it unfair that he was apparently going to get sucked into this when he had a date to save.

"Because pretty boy, I don't like your ugly mug!" Kasai answered mockingly.

Jaune just stared at him for a moment. "Wait...if I have a ugly mug...then how can I be a pretty boy?" Jaune asked Kasai. The evil robot was silent, a look of realization at his mistake flashed in his eye. Akeiro, who noticed the look, started to laugh loudly.

"Oh god! He got ya there you mental case!" Akeiro stated before he continued laughing.

"SHUT UP!" Kasai yelled in rage. Akeiro continued to laugh for several moments before he was able to stop himself.

"Ah...I needed that." Akeiro said as he swiped away a nonexistent tear. Then his expression turned serious as he points at Kasai. "Seriously though, this time I'm going to crush your head after I tear it off." Akeiro declared. Kasai did an equivalent of a eye smirk at the declaration.

"We'll see." Kasai jumped down from the roof and landed in front of the duo, causing a crater to form under his feet.

"Whoa!" Jaune exclaimed as he and Akeiro leaped away from the deranged robot. Akeiro pulls out a small grey rod form his pocket that extended until it was three feet long with what looked like tasers attached to both ends.

Jaune looked at the rod and felt underwhelmed. "I seriously think that you're going to need something a bit more bigger to handle this guy." Jaune told him. Instead of retorting with a rude comment or insult, Akeiro hmphed in amusement.

"Watch and learn idiot." Akeiro held the rod up and the rod started to extent again, becoming six feet be the time it stopped. The red jacket wearing alien expertly spun the rod around in his hands before striking the ground, making the taser that touched the ground to spark with a massive surge of electricity.

Jaune's eyes sparkled in awe. "That...is...so...COOL!" Jaune exclaimed.

"Pfft, like I'm going be afraid of your little stick." Kasai said mockingly as he walks over to a nearby car and punches through it then proceeds to pick it up without feeling any strain, much to Jaune's shock.

"Let me give you a lift mate." Kasai said before he chucks the car at the duo. Jaune immediately leapt out of the way of the car's current flight pattern. Akeiro rolled his eye and calmly holds up his hand.

Jaune's eyes widened as he was about to yell for the robot to get out of the way, only to be shocked into silence when the car slammed into Akeiro's hand and bended around his hand. Akeiro, however, had a bored look in his eye.

"Seriously? Throwing cars? Is that the best you've got?" Akeiro asked with his eye half lidded.

"Sorry, had to make sure that you weren't rusty." Kasai admitted with a shrug.

"Well, since you know that I'm not a rusty bucket of bolts like you are, let's dance!" Akeiro declared, charging towards Kasai, who in turn charged towards Akeiro. They reared their fists back and slammed them against each other, creating a shockwave so powerful that it shattered windows and blew dozens of cars, as well as Jaune away.

"THIS IS INSANE!" Jaune screamed as he was sent flying across the block. The two robotic entities ignored the chaos that surrounded them as they continued to combat each other. Kasai gave Akeiro a uppercut to the chin and sent him spirally upwards before landing painfully on the ground. Akeiro groaned in pain before he got up, feeling rage building up inside him.

"You just pissed me off pal!" Akeiro growled as he picked himself up, getting ready for round 2 while Jaune back towards where the action was. He managed to get close enough to see Akeiro getting punched upwards and land.

"Well if I'm ready to dive into this insane battle, then it might as well get in now." Jaune told himself as he drew his sword and shield and leapt into the fray, getting in between Kasai and Akeiro.

Kasai noticed his weapon choice and laughed. "Seriously?! You're going to fight me with that dingy looking sword and shield? You must be desperate to use those weapons." Kasai mocked.

"While I hate to agree with that prick, you'll get strangled if you used them in this fight. So do yourself a favor and duck out of this one." The red jacket wearing robot told Jaune.

"No, I'm not going to chicken out of this fight!" Jaune said seriously. "I may not know you, but deep down I know that you're a good person! And there is no way I'm letting you fight this alone!"

Akeiro blinked at Jaune's statement. "...Five minutes ago I was about to punch you face in the face, and what your basically saying is that you trust me enough to help me?" For some reason, Akeiro couldn't help but feel a slight bit touched. Though he would never admit that to anyone, especially Sydney and Carzon.

Jaune nodded, giving Akeiro a genuine smile. "Yeah, plus you remind me of one of my more...hot tempered friends."

"HEY! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STAND THERE AND TALK OR ARE YOU TWO NUMBSKULLS GOING TO FIGHT?!" Kasai yelled, angry for being ignored.

Jaune and Akiero gave each other a look and nodded, turning and getting into their battle stances.

"Alright then, let's get this party started!" Akeiro stated before they charged at their enemy. Jaune made it to Kasai first and swings at him with his sword, only for the white eyed robot to effortlessly catch it in his outstretched hand. Using Jaune's distraction to his advantage, Kasai grabbed Jaune by the scruff of his shirt and reared his head back, planning to slice through the blonde's head with his sickle like Mohawk. He was stopped when Akeiro's fist made contact with the side of his head, disorientating Kasai and making his grip on Jaune loosen. Jaune took this opportunity to pry himself from the metal hand and stab Kasai's shoulder.

Kasai screamed in pain as he clenched his wounded shoulder, which was gushing out oil. "AHHHHHH WHY YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF FLESH! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kasai yelled with rage. The mechanical villain quickly grabbed the duo by their necks and help them up as a dark aura engulfed his hands.

"What's...happening?!" Jaune managed to say while being strangled, feeling like his energy was slowly being drained.

"It's his...void power." Akeiro answered. "I don't know what it does...but if we don't get away from him then we're doing...to die."

"That's right!" Kasai said with murderous glee. "I'm going to keep draining ya until your both nothing more than dried up husks!" After telling them what he was planning on doing to them, the dark aura around his hands intensified as he laughed maniacally.

Akeiro mentally cursed as he held out his hand for his staff that he dropped when Kasai grabbed them. 'Need...to get...staff!' Akeiro weakly thought as he desperately tried to reach for his weapon.
