Important Announcement: I am going on a long cycling trip, from Xining to Lhasa, Tibet. It should be over 2000 kilometers distance and at least take 20 days to finish (Only if I can, I have growing doubts on myself.) So, I won't be able to update both of my stories until I come back. Originally I was planned to update both of my stories at the same date of my departure, but apparently I got too many things to take care of to finish both of the chapters on time. I am barely able to finish this chapter, that doesn't matter, I will make it better when I come back.

If anyone of you interest in my trip, Tibet, or want to see if I am still alive or not, just visit me on Tumblr: Tourise or wheredoestheroadend! I am trying to bring up the elements I wrote in this story in my journey, put them into practice.

No more nonsense, enjoy!

9. Let's Roll

I don't know how long I have been sitting there until Terkina has arrived. The only thing I know is I smoked half a pack of cigarettes in the park.

I don't particularly like smoking; I only smoke when I am extremely frustrated, like today. Smoking can distract me from the fights inside my head. I got this stupid habit from the friends I met in New York, some bad influence from humans. I don't think sucking those gas emitted from the burning herbal substance can do any damage to me, I won't get any disease anyway, but I won't gain anything from that either. Personally I don't like the smell left in the mouth after smoking; that smell would even stink all over my clothes. That would take a long time for me to rinse that scent off.

"Why are you smoking?" Terkina frowned, I didn't even realize she was here already; she hates it when people smoke. "Give me that, goddamn it." She snatched the smoke directly from my mouth and stomped it flat on the floor.

"Nothing, where are you taking me?" I asked; I tried hard to make a smile because I didn't want her to know how bad I was feeling, that made me looked even more awkward. I still felt like shit, and I couldn't help it.

"No, there is something. Why don't you tell me about it?" She picked the smoke up and thrown it into a nearby garbage bin. "You don't have to keep everything to yourself."

"It is nothing." I was not in the mood to talk about that, so I stood up and get on my bike. "Let's go. Lead the way."

I followed her to a country club, or a sports recreation center something. What does she bring me here for?

"Here, this is what I wanted to show you."

There is a large open area of grassland, and some targets are standing in the middle of the land with some blue, red and yellow target faces nailed on it. There are also some other people shooting in a couple of meters away. There even have kids shooting. An archery range?

As a robot warrior I am, I was never interested in using such 'ancient weapons' like bow and arrow. But if this is what Terkina wants to introduce me, I will give it a try. This might help me to forget what happened in the morning.

"Choose, which one you want to try?" Terkina is holding two bows, each on one hand. Both of the bows have a wooden handle but different in structure.

"I will take this one." I picked the one with two cams on each end; it looks a bit fancy than the other.

"I am shooting this target? It's only ten meters away!" I protested as I saw some other guys shooting the targets at seventy meters or something, which is much further than mine.

"This is your first shot; this range will be enough. Here, this is a release; clip this little hook on this D-loop here and pull the string..."

"When you feel like you are ready to shot, pull the trigger," Terkina instructed as I tried to shoot the very first arrow.

PAK!

I fired my first shot, the arrow didn't hit any color of the target face, it didn't land on the glass either. It hits the top left corner of the wooden stand which supporting the target block. The sound of the shot echo around the whole range, and everybody on the scene looked at me.

"You hit something, at least." She giggles. "You haven't adjust the sight yet."

This is embarrassing, I wished I can dig a hole and bury myself in it. But the feeling of releasing an arrow is extraordinary great! I love the sound of the trigger, it's fabulous! Even better than firing plasma shots! I love it! Now this place has unveiled the world I have never known. Boy, it would be even better if I knew this fantastic activity five years ago!

"I will hit the yellow this time," I said as I try another shot. I didn't aware of this release thing is a sensitive stuff. My thumb accidentally hit the trigger before I even aim, the arrow was fired, but I didn't know where it goes.

"Where did it go?"

"Your arrow landed on someone else's target dude."

After my 'training session' is over, I ran over to the archery equipment store right next to the Archery range. I know it's not possible for me carrying a bow to run around the country, perhaps I will get one if I settle down some day. But right now I want to buy a release, but not for my own. I want to buy Terkina a gift, to thank her for introducing me to the new sport.

I was just wondering why she bought me here like she did this on purpose. Anyway, I am having a good time enjoying the afternoon and almost forgotten about the arguments I have with Roll this morning.

"What? You got addicted to the sport already?" She asked.

Humph! Silly me, I shouldn't buy someone a gift when the target person is around! Or should I let her know I am buying her a gift in the first place? I have never received any present (Except the phone that Metal Man, Ring Man, and Top Man gave me, but they bought it using MY money, so that doesn't count). Plus I have never sent any gifts to anyone either, I don't exactly know what to do to show my appreciation.

"No...I just want to buy a release for you." I say it out unconsciously even before I can stop myself.

"For me? Why? I have got one myself." She seemed a little surprised.

"Uh...I...it's just a gift. Appreciations for your help back in the cage fight." That's not the truth, though; I am just trying to make up a fib before embarrassing myself.

"You treated me a meal already. That would be enough, for real. You should buy it for yourself. No, I will get one for you." She said.

"Wait a minute..." Before I could give her a response, she already picked one and walked to the cashier. How come our position getting exchanged? I was the one who tried to buy her a gift!

She came back with a small paper bag package and handed it to me. "Here, I don't have time to wrap it up and put a pretty bow on it, but…it's for you."

It's my turn to be startled, "What for?"

"For your willingness to help on this project, it wouldn't have become real until I met you, there is no way I can do this alone. This might lead you and your crew to be in danger, I don't even know if we can get out of this alive, so I have to thank you like...right now."

"Uh...thanks." I took the small paper bag reluctantly, but I can sense her uncertainty and uneasiness, I feel like I want to ease up on her doubts a little. "Let me tell you something, I have been this kind of job for hundred and thousand times. I will only stick my neck out for someone I trusted and a cause that I think it's worth risking my life, no...our lives. When I am doing a job, I will put in one hundred percent, no hold backs, no regrets. I put my faith in you, so you need to have faith in me too."

She looks at me in a strange way, look confused but didn't say anything. So I added, "You won't regret on this, girl. Because you have picked the best team ever, I maybe just a thief, but I am a terrific thief! Trust me on that!"

Not that I am over-confidence on myself, it's just…I know what I am capable of, and I know where the line lies, although I didn't mention how many times I failed. To remove any uncertainty from my partner, it's my job.

Despite the happiness a feel from the little gift I received today, I still a bit worry about Roll, I don't know what she is doing here and why is she coming alone. My guessing is she had turn on some arguments with Rock and Dr. Light and then flipped out and ran away from home. I don't think she would stay in this town for long. And I don't think she would have enough credit to afford to rent a sports car and more nights staying in a five-star hotel after all those shopping. She might come to Brain Bot's house, she would kill me only if she knows I am staying there. I have to do something about it.

An idea flashed through my head, Roll may be not willing to listen to my words, perhaps she would listen to Terkina since both of them are female. Only if Terkina can act as a tranquilizer between us, and then things might be okay.

"I have a favor to ask you; it's about my sister," I ask her directly, I don't usually talk this straight, especially to humans. But strangely I feel like I can't hide myself properly, and I am not afraid of being honest in front of her.

"What about her?"

"I have a little dispute with her this morning, and I think maybe she would come to Brain's house, and she will not like it if she sees me there. I wonder if you can...'clear things' with her, just to explain what we are doing there?"

"Why don't you go tell her yourself?"

"She won't listen if it comes from me…plus we can't let her know that we are planning on robbing someone. Would you help me on this one?"

"Okay, but don't you interrupt us when I am handling this."

"I promise you I am not going to interfere, just…no violence, okay?"

"I will try, but I do not promise you on this one," Terkina's answer makes me feel uncomfortable. Now I doubted if this is a good idea to put two headstrong girls together. Let's hope the girls won't get overheat with each other.

By the time we got back to Brain Bot's house, I saw a pink open top car parked in front of the garage. The first thing that came to my mind is: I am screwed.

Although I have expected this, I even had an impulse to turn my back and not to enter the house. That little incident happened in the morning made me a little scared of her. I don't know how she would react if she sees me again.

To avoid any more conflict between me and my sister, I let Terkina enters the house first, and I was remaining outside in the yard. I was planning to show myself after Terkina eases things up. I can also stop them if there is anything goes wrong.

"Welcome, Miss Terkina" Red, the household management A.I greeted as the door opened. The sound of heavy metal music burst out of the room, I could see Roll through the window, she was dancing happily in the middle of the living room, Brain Bot was also presence.

They didn't seem to notice Terkina was entering the house; perhaps it was because of the loud music playing on the stereo. I was wondering whether I should grab the chance and sneak in. Only if I could slip inside quickly and hide into Brain bot's lab in the basement (I suppose Roll wouldn't be interested in investigating Brain Bot's lab.), perhaps I can avoid another encountering with her face to face.

I waited for a while and decided to take a chance. But I certainly picked the worst time to creep in. By the time I finally had the courage to step into the house, the music stopped for switching to another track, and the mechanic voice of RED chimes in. "Welcome, Blues."

I have completely forgotten about that annoying household A.I., and that's the most stupid thing I have ever done!

Roll stops dancing and turns to the doorway, her eyes grow wide when she sees me at the door.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"She snarled angrily.

Before I could say another word, she already grabbed a chair nearby and threw it towards my way. I dodged the hit and withdrew back to the yard. Roll storm toward me with her eyes blazing.

"Please listen to me for once! I can explain…"I protested, although I know she wouldn't listen, her hand already waving in the air, I tightened my face and prepared to get slapped, again.

The things happened next was way out of my expect, Roll's palm stopped in the mid-air before it hit my face.

A hand in black glove caught Roll's arm, halting her action. It's Terkina, she is wearing her father's "Strength-enhancing magic gloves" and grabbed on Roll's arm appearance from behind.

Everyone on the scene watched this in astonishment, even Brain Bot. I have never seen a human being bears the strength that can confront with a robot. Roll maybe not a fighting robot like me and Mega, but she is still not that weak, isn't she?

"STOP! He is your brother, how can you treat him this way?" Terkina snapped.

"He is not my brother!" Roll yelled as she tried to jerk her arm back, but amazingly she was not able to struggle off the human girl's grip. "Who are you to interfere? Get your hands off me!"

"He is my friend, and my business partner. That 's reason enough for me."

"For someone who is dumb enough to be HIS friend, you are meddlesome," Roll screamed.

"Don't you think it's too much to slap on someone's face twice a day? For no exact reason?"

Twice? How does she know Roll hit me today? I am sure I didn't spill a word in front of her. Did she saw it all?

"Brain Bot, why do you let these guys in?" Roll screamed at Brain Bot, who was standing at the doorway with a pretend-to-be innocent look.

"We are working on a project together…I designed this house to let some of Dr. Light's robots to come in. According to the data registered on the identity chip, he is definitely one of the Dr. Light's creation. And I adapted the data directly from Dr. Light's database so…"

"Enough! I will fix this error myself!" Roll jerked her arm off fiercely and changed her arms appearance into a toaster.

"Eat this! Creep!" Roll fired two pieces of toast towards me, I dodged the hit and rolled away, the toasts hit her pink rental behind, causing a slight scratch on it.

"Calm down, please! You can't get the credit back if you do damage to the car!" I tried to remind her.

"Sure I will get some credit back if I do some damage to you!" Roll jabs, "Now you are not in your armor and without your blaster, still think you are too thick to fight me now?"

Roll started to draw punches at me, I guess she must have learned this from that karate bot back in that Robo university, or from the action movies she has been obsessed with. In my vision, her attacks were slow and way too predictable, that's not REAL combat skill. I could even foresee the momentum of her actions so I could dodge them all easily. About that slap in the morning, I was just intended to stand there and let her hit me, I can sidestep that tardy hit in anywhere any time.

"Fight back! Creep!" She challenged. But no, I am not hitting her back.

Seeing her punching and provocative speeches were useless, Roll tried to hit me with fast a roundhouse kick. Unfortunately, she kicked it in the wrong way; her leg was kicked the way too low, she began to lose balance herself. The kick missed me and went towards Terkina's head.

"Stop! She's a hu-" I screamed, but I was too far away to stop that hit. A robot kick on the head might break a human's neck!

Amazingly, Terkina bends her body to the left side in time to avoid being hit; then she worm herself into the space in front of Roll, and uses her right arm to catch Roll's leg in the mid air and pushed it upwards, causing Roll to lost balance. Terkina's left arm took the advantage and pushed on Roll's chest, causing Roll tripped over and fell into the fountain behind her.

"Did anybody tell you, roundhouse kick is for appearances only." Terkina said sarcastically.

Roll ground her teeth and pulled herself up from the water, she thrust toward the human girl and tried to grab her by the collar. But the one thing she didn't expect is, Terkina grabbed her arm and her collar even faster than she does. Once again Terkina worms her body towards Roll's chest, and then turned and pulled Roll's arm downward. All I could see was Roll's torso flipped over in the mid air like drawing a vertical circle, Roll a landed on the ground on her back, a perfect single arm shoulder throw.

Wait a minute, I have seen this move before, and I have been thrown onto the ground by this move for a thousand times. Damn that Cossack, he simply took me as his practice dummy!

Shit! No! It's not the time for admiring. I have to stop them before anyone gets killed!

"How dare you…" Roll moaned, she seemed a little shocked by this. I ran over and tried to help her up, but she pushed me away.

"Stop, please, both of you. If there is a problem, I will leave." I held up both my hands and rushed between the two girls, separating them from a distance. "Terkina, you promised me not to do it in a violent way."

"I never promised you on that, but I thought you promised me that you would not interfere with MY way." Terkina retorts. "This isn't your problem anymore. It's between me and her. We will sort this out by ourselves."She pushed me aside and stared straight into Roll's eyes.

"Oh yeah? How do you want it done?" Roll spit.

"Let's have a race! On bikes, the first one reaches the end of the Santa Marina Pier wins. And the one who wins takes over!"

"Sure, I am not afraid of you! I won't lose a match to a human!"

"No more nonsense, let's start! Take his bike!" They both stomp out of the yard.

"No, wait a-" Before I could finish the sentence, both of the girls already cycled away like an arrow, and disappear on the horizon within ten seconds.

I don't what to do next, so I ran back to Brain Bot's house. "Brain, they are gone! Can't you do something about that?"

"What am I supposed to do? I can't remote control bicycles!" Brain Bot shrugs, "But if you were interested, you can listen to their conversation in here, I have planted a micro-tapping plus GPS transmitting device onto both of your bikes anyway."

"You have planted a WHAT?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just a testing model of the prototype device. And it's proven it has a good usage on the…"

"It's not the time for that! Do you have a ride or something?" I asked.

"I usually go to places in a cab; they don't allow me to drive anything!" Brain Bot explains. I can understand the reason for that. I glanced at Roll's pink rental and decided not to take it without her permission; I don't want our conflicts get any deeper.

Heh, that means I have to run over there by myself, and it's over six kilometers from Brain Bot's house to the pier. This is going to be a long long way.

It took me eighteen minutes and thirty-two seconds to run to the pier, that's already the fastest speed I could make. I wish they don't start tearing each other apart before I got there!

When I finally get to the pier, the girls were already pushing the bikes and heading back. In what surprised me, they were not killing each other, they were walking alongside and talking like a pair of old friends!

"There you are!" They spotted me coming in the opposite way first. "What took you so long?" Roll taunted.

"What the…? Everything sorted? No more fights?" I asked.

"No, we are good," Terkina replies casually. "And Roll agreed to let us stay in your buddy's house."

Really? What a difference! I stared at them both in astonishment. What kind of magic did she play on Roll?

"I only let you stay for Terkina's sake, but if I found you having any bad ideas, I won't call the police, I will rip your circuits off with my bare hands!" Roll hissed.

"Alright, alright, I won't do anything I ain't supposed to." I protested. How good it is now my sister isn't aggressive to me anymore. I secretly let out a sigh of relief, I thought I was going to die!

"I am giving this piece of junk crap to you, and one more thing, your bike has no breaks!" Roll complained.

"Well, superhero doesn't need breaks."

Terkina giggled shyly when she heard that, and even Roll was trying hard to hold her laughter. Although I don't know how Terkina convinced her, I think we will be okay for now.

I woke up early in the next morning; we have got some important thing to do, we are going to the attend to the auction: The Flamingo.

I am not very used to wearing formal clothes and attending serious conferences, usually I am the one who tried to ruin it with pleasure. But today I made an exception, I borrowed a suit in the wardrobe (it supposed to be Dr. Light's because it's a bit large for me.). Today I have to pretend to play it nice.

Terkia and I get into the auction successfully by using the tickets I stole. These tickets worth ten thousand dollars each, it's just way too expensive for us to causalities to afford. Most of the people who would come to this auction are celebrities, billionaires, traders, prince, officials, most of them are just pretend to be good guys anyway. I don't care about them, all I care is about the "Brewer 2.0", and who is going to buy that thing.

I suspect the person that would be interest in this stupid ring is related to 'the company' where I stole the one on my medium left finger. If I can get hold of the other one, my chance of using it to exchange Wily back would be greater. Of course, I never mentioned my 'real ' cause of this operation to Terkina nor Roll.

I felt sorry for Terkina; it seems like I am using her to achieve my own target. That sounds cold, but that's what the reality is. It's sure she has been good to me; I don't want to do harm to her as much as possible. But if she finds out who I really am, I am sure she will abandon me too, like everyone else did. I know that's selfish thinking, but I have to protect myself, I don't have support from anyone or aids like my brother have. I have to gain every recourse I can to survive. About Wily, I am not exactly forced to follow him, but...what choice do I have? There is no one else would want me in anyway. Besides I can't just leave him rotten inside that scientific jail in Siberia right?

My whole life is dangling between betray or get betrayed; I lied, I steal, I hit, I trick, this kind of lifestyle is quite lonely and tiring, and I am getting tired of it. I always dreamed if there is somebody who would truly trust me and stay alongside me until the end. But a dream is a dream, that ain't real, and that won't come true, I am destined to be alone.

The old habits die hard, my thoughts drove me away from the matter a hand in the middle of a mission again. No, no, no, I have to concentrate.

Before we head out to auction, Brain Bot gave us few of his latest inventions which might help to identify the target. The first one is a pair of sunglasses with a camera function; it can transfer the image back to Brain Bot's computer at once after I have taken the photo. The second thing is the micro-tapping device with GPS function, we need to attach it to the target so we can find out where it goes.

Our seats were located on the back of the auditorium, not a very bad position I think, at least we can oversee the whole premises easily.

"Right this way…"

I heard a familiar voice from behind, and this voice lingered some very bad memory from the back of my memory core. It belongs to one of my sworn enemies. I spun around and saw that particular person walked past my seat.

Klebitz!

I could feel the rage hit me like a huge wave, I could also feel my body shaking. I stood up from my seat unconsciously. Klebitz was walking alongside with another man on the scene, middle-aged, black hair with a very significant scar on the left side of his face. I haven't seen him before, but I think he is working with Klebitz.

That means he is my enemy too.

"You look horrible, what's wrong with you?" Terkina jerked my sleeve lightly.

I just stood there and stared at that figure until he sat down in his assigned seat. I had an impulse to grab his collar and throw him onto the ground, but my remaining senses stopped me from doing so.

"Blues, calm yourself!" Terkina hissed. I sat back down and clenched my fist tightly. My emotions will eventually gone soft every time I have heard that name. I don't even know why.

"I told you not to address me by that…" I said softly.

"No, I want to call you that, that's your name anyway," Terkina replied, "What's wrong with you? You know that man?"

"He is the guy who kidnaped my master!"I didn't know whether I should tell her know about this, but I spit it out before I could catch my tongue. "I wish I can strangle him into knots!"

"Just calm down, maybe we can use your buddy's Gizmo to help you to find him. But we work to do here, we came too far to spoil it now!"

She is right, I have got to wait for the chance to capture his face, Brain Bot should be able to find out who he is.

The items that have been sold in the auction are ancient artifacts, expensive gemstones, even weapons. Each item worth at least a million, but in my point of view, ha! These things aren't eatable, nor do any good on saving the world shit, why do they bother spending so much money to buy them?

Our target item was the last merchandise of the auction, and it was the most expensive one of the day. Who's going to buy this thing?

The bidding price was started at 5 billion, there were not many people trying to bid it, I guess no one is interested in such things. There were only two people competing with each other, and one of them was that man who sat next to Klebitz.

That man with Klebitz bid that item successfully at the price of ten billion dollars, which is extremely welcomed by me! Just save me the efforts to look them up, I will be very happy to rob Klebitz and his confounded company! It's time for vengeance!

"Brain, I have found our target, I am sending you his picture. I need every piece of information from him, and the company." I called Brain Bot after the auction.

When we were back to Brain's house, Metal Man, Top Man were already waiting outside, even Shadow Man was there too.

I know they can't get past the security system of the house, so I told them to stay in the yard. Top Man and Metal Man pulled me aside.

"Are you sure you are going to let that freak show in? He makes my circuits crawl." Metal Man complained.

"We might need his ability to help us on this task," I answered casually.

"Just don't put him on my team. I am going back to LV if you make me work with him."

I sighed, as a leader, the one thing that troubles the most is the 'robot resources' management issue. Usually, I will assign the robot masters into teams consist of two or three according to their own character and special ability, of course, their preference is one of the factors too. After the Ice Man and Air Man incident, I have learned things could massively go wrong if the team member don't get along themselves. So I have to assign their positions very carefully to avoid conflicts.

Me myself was always on a team with Guts Man and Cut Man, not that I particularly like these two nor because they were too dumb to walk even by themselves. Personally I prefer to work alone, I am confident that I can handle myself. The problem is THEY wanted to follow me about, the one advantage of those two is they would do whatever I told them to without complaints, a little bit stupid but eh…they were not that bad. Too bad I lost contact with them while I tried to escape the police pursuit. Boy, I started to miss them a little right now.

"I will try. Just wait here while I get the information on the target first. And for heaven's sake, don't start no fights in here, My sister will kill all of you." I added

"What? Your sister is here? Why didn't you say so?" Top Man exclaimed stomping his feet.

"You wouldn't come if I told you…behave yourself dude , if she's in a fine mood, she might spare you," I smirked at him and walked into the house, leaving the horrifying Top Man shat himself in the front yard.

"Brain, so who are we going to rob?"

"That's some good news and some bad news, I have found the personnel you want me to search for. Klebitz is a fake name, his real name is Olezhka Klebozlov, Belarusian, he is a retired military officer of Belarus, expelled from the country after leading a military coup. And then escaped to Russia and changed his name."

"How about the guy who sat next to him, and the company?"

"I can't find much information about that man, the only thing I can find is his name. He is Ivan Romochka, the CEO of a security company "The Northorn Peace", it is the biggest non-domestic usage robot supplier in the world. It also runs security service like a private army; they got a business association with banks, officials, billionaires, celebrities, even terrorists, mafias, and the worst governments all over the world. The security of 'The Flamingo' is provided by them too."

"Where is the location of the company? Are there any headquarters?" I interrupted.

"They have properties all over the places, the closest one is an imperial tower in Los Angles, it's called the 'Northorn Centre,' located right in the commercial district downtown."

That's the best information I ever need. Now I know who my real enemy is, and I know where they are, we can carry on with our mission.

"Thank you, Brain, I owe you one. Can you find some more details about that tower, like floor plan, layouts, the thing we are after should be in there!"

"Sure, just give me some more time. I can look at its architecture plans in the government's database."

"Wait, but how do you know they will put that 'Brewer 2.0' in the tower, if it's worth ten billion, shouldn't they keep it in somewhere safer?" Terkina asked.

"They probably let that thing sit inside their headquarter for a few days, anyone who bought something new would want to place it somewhere you can see it for a while."

But Terkina is right, we have to act fast, they won't let it just sit there forever.

I have heard some noise coming from the outside, so I went out to see what was happening, Terkina was hot on my heels. Once I stepped out of the house, I saw Roll revealing her frying pan towards Top Man and Metal Man.

"Where are you creepy bots doing here?" Roll yelled.

I ran over and stood between them quickly, "Be cool sis, I send them over."

"I know it's you! You must be up to something bad! I am calling the police right now."

"Wait a minute, sis." I grabbed her shoulder, trying to stop her from walking out of the yard, "Whatever you do, just listen to me first. And then you decide whether you want to continue your action."

I know it is impossible to cover up our action for now, Roll is not a fool, telling a fib would even make things worse. But there is a chance to convince her to join us though, I decided to take a chance.

"Tell me, what are you creeps up to?" Roll change her arm into a electric sew and pointed it directly at my nose.

"You have guessed it right, we are planning on a heist, we are going to rob someone."

"That's it! I have enough reason to call the police now!" She turned to leave; I grabbed her arm.

"Not so fast, sis. We are robbing someone that you might dislike too." I was saying that in an intentionally lower tone, trying to lure her attention.

"Who is it?" Roll halted and turned around.

"We are robbing someone who kidnapped you, Rock and Dr. Light two months ago," I said that in a whisper, I don't want Metal Man and Top Man hear about that.

"The company? The owner of that airship and those creepy bots who ruin my home's furnishings and crippled all our robots?"

"I don't know we will whether encounter with those bots again, but it's sure we are robbing their boss."

"It's true, Roll." Terkina joined me to persuade Roll to stand on our side. "It's my idea to rob them in the first place, he's doing this for my sake. The company robbed my family, and they took something important from me too. I...no, WE are going to send them a message, telling them that we ain't no bitch."

"Now sis, I am not trying to make recruits but...I have to ask, are you IN or are you OUT?" I asked.

"If you put it like that, I-AM-IN!" Roll poked me hard on the chest. "I am going to kick their asses for what they have done to me and my family!"

I always know she had it in her, but I didn't expect that she would even join us that quick, that means there is one more person I have got to look after during the operation. This will be the hardest job I have ever pulled, I think.

To be continued...
