Now for some review-answering!

Megami no Inazumi: Well, I haven't seen the third movie, remember? I do know his laugh, though, as you showed it to me on Clarice.

Alocin: Oh, they're real? Interesting…thank you, my desk is covered with them now.  

Agent Josey: The Twins grow on everybody when written about properly. Megami no Inazumi does it better than I do, go read her stuff!

Citti Kitty Monroe: ^_^ Oh, and something I forgot to answer last chapter; Sues.  Short for Mary-Sues, they are the bane of the fanfic world. They destroy canon, The Sue character itself will gain special magic powers whenever the author feels like it, and the authors don't know the meaning of proper English (grammar, spelling, etc…).

Last time, we had an interesting conversation between Smelrond and poor, trapped Girl. And the Twins have discovered her again, and are (obviously) going to try to rescue her from a horrible fate of being trapped in a boring white box until, as Macbeth would say, the last syllable of recorded time.  Now for Chapter 8, which is brought to you by A Swarm of Sues; "We're beautiful, annoyingly idiotic, have super special magic powers, and can destroy canon in a matter of seconds!" 

Chapter 8: Separated

One and Two have been following Smith secretively through the city.  At last, he stopped inside a dark alley, because (like all Agents), he can be seen as a walking, talking, suit-clad cliché.

Two (telepathically): Us, we're the planner, so what now?

One: We need to get that Cube.

Two: We know that, but how do we get it?

One: He's cornered, so we have to run over and distract him.  We'll ghost underneath the ground and get the Cube when we come up.  Then we both run away and try to get her out of it.

Two: Sounds easy enough.  Better than some of the assignments we usually get from the Miro-Merovingian.

One: We are adapting her weird names for people

Two: They're much more fun than the real names.

One: Whatever, let's go.  When we get to three…one…two…THREE! GO!!! *ghosts underground*

Two: *runs towards Smith, waving arms and yelling*

But unfortunately for the poor Twins, Smelrond predicted that Two was merely a distraction. A second's look at the ground revealed One coming to him fast. He knew how to fix that.  Whipping out the NetherCube at Agent-Speed, he shot a beam of code at Two, sucking him into the NetherCube.  With the sudden and unexpected void in his mind where his other self had been, One came up aboveground completely dazed and confused, giving Smelrond time to run off and escape…again.

One (trying unsuccessfully to telepath with Two): Us!  Us? US?!?!  WHERE ARE WE?!?!  WHAT HAPPENED?!?! US?!?!

Inside the NetherCube…

Angnor and Connus have woken up, but with a difference.  Now they are veeeeery cautious of Girl.  So for the time in which Smith was walking randomly around the city, Girl and themselves have sat at opposite ends of the NetherCube, each 'group' glaring so hard at the other that if looks could kill the entire city would be dead, and exchanging insults.

Girl: And for that matter, I don't think you're really Agents.  You don't have earpieces, suits, or sunglasses, plus you're not acting like walking clichés.  You're like the hanyous of the Agent world.

Connus: What's a hanyou, Rat?  Does it mean stupid in Rat Language?

Girl (voice dripping with sarcasm): It's Japanese, smart one.  It means 'half-demon', but you would be a disgrace to the name of Japanese demons, so in your case it means you're like a half-Agent.  If I wanted to call you stupid I would have said baka, and I would have worded my sentence differently so it'd make sense grammatically.  But you're too dumb to know about the mysteries of proper grammar, aren't you?

Angnor: Hey, are you crying?

Girl: NO DAMMIT!!!  THAT WAS HOW MANY YEARS AGO???  I SHOULD…!

Two: *appears suddenly, looking very disoriented, and begins looking around wildly*

Girl: TWO!!! *runs over to him*

Two: *concentrates for a while, trying to reach One, eventually starts yelling out loud* US!!!  WHERE ARE WE?!?  WHAT IS GOING ON?!?

Girl:  Two!  What's wrong?  Where's…*comprehension dawns, Girl looks horrified* Ooooh, no…he didn't…he couldn't have possibly…dammit Smelrond!  How mean can you get?

Two: What's wrong?  Why can't we find us?  Where are we?

DVS (Disembodied Voice of Smelrond, if you have a bad memory): You are trapped within the NetherCube…

Girl (screaming at levels that it have actually been deemed by scientists as impossible to scream at) : SHUT UP YOU TWISTED EXCUSE FOR ELROND'S TWIN BROTHER!!!  THIS IS THE EVILEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE, INCLUDING LOCKING ME IN HERE WITH THEM!!! *points to Angnor and Connus*  IT'S AS IF YOU JUST KILLED SOMEONE'S DRAGON!!!  BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT ALLUSION MEANS BECAUSE YOU'RE FAR TOO BUSY FORMULATING NEFARIOUS PLOTS TO MAKE PEOPLE UNHAPPY TO HAVE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT READING DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN THIS TO HIM, AND A WHOLE FRICKING LOT OF THE FORCE IS GONNA HAVE TO BE WITH YOU FOR YOU TO SURVIVE IF YOU DARE TAKE YOUR DISEMBODIED VOICE IN HERE AGAIN UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN!!!

Connus (muttering to Angnor): Good Lord, she's loud when she gets started…

Angnor (muttering to Connus): Remind me not to ever get her this mad again.

Girl: *whirls on them* AND YOU TWO!!!  YOU WILL NOT SAY ANOTHER BLOODY WORD UNTIL I'M FINISHED TALKING TO TWO!!!  DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!?

Connus & Angnor (simultaneously): *nod very fast in a panicked fashion* Yes, yes, perfectly clear.  Go talk to What's-his-name, take as long as you want…*babble like this until they receive the Flaming Evil Death Glare* Shutting up now…

Girl: GOOD!!!  Okay, Two, now I will tell you what is going on.  See, Smelrond interrupted some sort of colored pill-picking thing the Rebels were making me do, and those two were with him.  They are my arch-nemeses from grade school, and now they're like…Pseudo-Agents or something of the sort.  Anyway, Smelrond traps me in this box with them and ran off with me.  I have a huge fight with them, beating the snot out of them in the process.  They only just returned to consciousness, actually.  And then you showed up.  Now, about this box.  Smelrond calls it the NetherCube, which would be an awesome name under other circumstances, but at the moment, I despise this box thoroughly.  He says that there's no escape unless someone lets us out from the outside using his special one-of-a-kind key.  And the only link with the outside world is the specifically directed mental voice of the person or program holding the Cube.  That would be why you can't reach One; he isn't holding the Cube.  We're stuck with Smelrond, and there's no way out.

Two: So we're going to be separated from us for a while? *thinking* Separated…

Girl: 'Fraid so.

Two (thinking): Separated…

A/N: Aaaaawwwww…poor Two…poor One…DIE SMELROND DIE!!!  All together now, whomp him! *whomps evil, Twin-separating Smelrond* Now we all must give him lots of Flaming Evil Death Glares *glares at evil, Twin-separating Smelrond* Thanks once again to megami no inazumi for your help with the Twins.  Even though it was indirect help, because of you (and orange of doom, but mostly you) I know more about them than any of the other characters in any of the Matrix movies.  Thanks much! ^_^
