Irv & Alley's Grand Prank
It was a beautiful day in Meria. The sun was shining down on the inhabitants, and spring was in the air. This was the perfect day to be outdoors.
Ashley was sitting outside, shining his bayonet, when he head someone call his name. The former field commander of ARMS turned to see a young girl running up to him. She was about fifteen years old, with black hair cut short in the back, with some tresses hanging down in the front. Her right eye was purple, and a leather patch covered her left one. Her sleeveless dress was plain and brown, and she had a leather cape hung around her shoulders. The boots on her feet were maroon and tan, and she had only one real arm. Her left arm, cut off many years ago, had been replaced by cybernetics.
"Oh Annie," Ashley said, "I didn't expect to see you today."
"Mom and I were in town, so we just decided to stop by. Hey, Uncle Ashley, where are Irv and Alley?" asked Annie.
Ashley replied, "They're outside of town, hunting monsters. If you want, you can go look for them. I know you three get along so well."
Annie turned and began to run for the fields outside of town. "Thanks Uncle Ashley." As Ashley watched the girl run off, Kanon came up to him and sat down.
"What's up Kanon?" inquired Ashley, "How's the Merc trade been lately?"
"The usual. But I feel something is wrong with the wind," Kanon told him.
Ashley drew a blank. He asked her, "What do you mean? The wind feels just fine to me. How can the wind be bad?"
Kanon sighed. "No, it's the scent that is being brought by the wind. The last time I smelt one like this, Demons invaded my hometown, killed my mother, and left me with the need for cybernetic implants to be able to live a semi-normal life. Something big is about to happen, or my name isn't Kanon."
"But isn't your birth name Aisha?" wondered Ashley, "So technically. . ."
"I'm talking about my new name, starting from the day those Demons attacked. I did away with my birth self long ago," Kanon reminded him.

Sixteen-year-old twins Irv and Alley were outside in the field, but they weren't precisely hunting monsters. They were, of course, killing any that came to them, but they had another project in mind. The twins stood inside the Hovercraft with a case of tools they had borrowed from their dad - - without his permission of course - - and were modifying it in some way.
Irv looked up to wipe his fevered brow - - sweating after all this work in the heat. He still wore his brown hair in the same spiked cut he'd had as a kid - - the one that resembled Ashley's. The boy had on blue jeans, short black boots, and a black T-shirt. On the shirt was a picture of a green dragon's head with red eyes breathing fire. Above it was the word REX, while below it was the word RYU. It was the symbol of Rex Ryu, an up and coming rock star.
He turned one blue eye to look at his brown-eyed sister. Alley had blue hair that flowed down past her shoulder, with a silver headband on top of her head. She was wearing black high-heeled shoes, and a short - - but not slutty - - black dress with Rex Ryu's symbol on it.
Irv said, "This is going to be the best prank ever. When dad goes to turn on the engine to the Hovercraft, it'll go speeding across the whole world. Then, he'll have to go chase it down. And he'll never know who did it."
Alley laughed. "But you know, our dad may be ignorant and idealistic, but he knows that we're reputed pranksters. Won't he turn his suspicions to us sooner or later?"
"He can't prove it," Irv told her, "Even if he believes it was us, there's nothing to back it up. He'll be forced to drop it."
"I guess you're right. This'll be the best ever!" Alley exclaimed.
Suddenly, the twins heard a voice calling, "Hey Irv, Alley! How's it going guys? Can I help you fight the monsters."
The twins turned to see Annie running up to them. As she ran, a group of Balloons tried to attack her. But Annie successfully defeated them with her Eagle Claw attack. She continued running until she arrived at the Hovercraft. Then she got inside it with her friends.
Annie looked at them. "What are you guys doing? Uncle Ashley said you were hunting monsters. Are you working on another prank?"
Irv and Alley sweatdropped. Annie had always been a bundle of energy as a child. But now that she was practically grown, she seemed to be even more energetic than usual. They both thought it came from spending her life on the road with her mom.
"Oh, what's this?" asked Annie, "This button, I wonder what it does." Then, she touched a button on the console.
Suddenly, the Hovercraft began to start up. The motor went out of control, just as Irv and Alley had predicted. But there was one flaw with this design. Since the three friends were inside of it at the time, they sped away with it as well.

About an hour later, Ashley and Kanon got worried and went to find the three teenagers. But when they arrived at the spot where the Hovercraft had been, they saw some of the discarded parts that Irv and Alley hadn't been able to dispose of yet. At once, Ashley knew what happened, and began to worry about them.

Finally got to work on this. I intended this sequel to "The Babysitting Job From H E Double Hockey Sticks" to commemorate my one year anniversary on Fanfiction.net. This will be more action oriented than its prequel. It'll focus on the three teens finding an adventure, as well as Ashley and Kanon's quest to find them.
