DISCLAIMER:

(this chapter was inspired by " Olivia and Yunan" from Amphibia . I just added my own creativity to it.)

the twins figure out a way to rescue Kyoko without Yamada knowing. this took place right after Yamada enlist Angelo's help to kidnap her.


Yamada's Penthouse

outside, the surroundings at Yamada's penthouse is shown with security guarding the doors.

Francis watches from the balcony and then sighs. one of the security guards approaches to give him a message.

"Francis, the boss would like to speak to you." Guard 1 said

Francis gulps then goes to Yamada's office. he notices that his brother, Franky is waiting by the door while his arms were crossed.

"oh, hey. Yamada called you too? do you know what this is about?" Franky asked

"nah, and it's been days since Angelo took Kyoko from Josuke's inn. they're probably looking for her as we speak." Francis replied

he then approaches the office door, "i wonder what he's doing in there?"

the twins open the door a little bit then observe Yamada.

Yamada is currently on the phone with the CEO of Gov.

"sir, things are progressing as fast as they—" Yamada's words were cut short by a man on the other line interrupts him then replied.

"yes yes, i know, but it hasn't been tested yet. we gotta try it on someone else." Yamada said

the man is yelling at Yamada through the other line.

"ugh, yes sir."

the twins closed the door and walked away from it for a moment.

"well,that was freaky." Franky said

Yamada opens the door to receive the twins.

"aaah! you two. come in, come in!" Yamada rejoiced

the twins entered the office. Yamada opens the curtains.

"good news! you two have been promoted."

he looks at Francis, "Francis, you will now oversee the areas of our refineries. it's time to shake things up a bit."

Francis makes a face of disagreement. Yamada then looks at Franky.

"and Franky, my right hand man, we're gonna need extra agents for this upcoming assignment, so round them up."

Yamada then approaches them, " and if anyone refuse…"

the twins gulped while sweating

"give them a stern talking to."

"ooh…" Francis said

"not too bad." Franky said

"kidding! terminate them! all right now boys, time to get to work! i have a meeting to attend to." Yamada said

the twins prostrate themselves before Yamada and then leaves the room.by the time Franky closes the door, Francis is already filled with patience and is fed up.

"ugh, i can't take this shit anymore! this verbal abuse and his demonic ass attitude is starting to piss me off!" Francis shouts

"Francis! if you're gonna talk treason…"

Franky takes his brother by his arm and runs into a dark empty hallway.

"do it in private, dammit!" Franky whispers as he lets go then turns around and walks away for a moment.

"you're damn right he's gone too far and based on whatever we just witnessed, Yamada is bat shit crazy! i for one, will not work for a slimey bastard like him." Franky said

"you're right, but we can't stop him ourselves. we need someone clever, someone who can beat him at his own game, someone like…Josuke." Francis said

"Josuke?! Josuke Higashikata?! absolutely the hell not! in case you haven't noticed, we don't even stand a chance against him!" Franky said

"look Franky, it's for the time being, besides, he's the first and only one to break Sabo's winning streak record in the Sanwakai Brawl. if anyone can out smart Yamada and beat him at his own game, it's Josuke." Francis explained

"ha, i'm plenty smart!" Franky chuckles while scratching his nose with his pocket knive in his hand.

his knive comes out wrongly, but he managed to dodge it.

"ooh shit! did you see that?! i almost cut my face!…OK, maybe we do need Josuke." Franky said

"good. let's go." Francis said while leaving

Franky intercepts him, "wait, only one problem though. how are we gonna get in contact with him? all of the phone lines and internet networks are all connected to Yamada's office."

"damn, you have a point there." Francis said

the twins think for a second then gets an idea.

"Kyoko!" the twins said together

"but she's being held in the secret room in the penthouse. nobody's allowed down there. (while whispering) there's even a rumor that she's being guarded by Yamada's vicious pitbulls." Franky said

"pitbulls? i agree those bastards are vicious but don't tell me that the great fearless Franky is scared of some pitbulls." Francis smirks

"ugh, i see what you're doing and it's working. lead the way, bro." Franky said

minutes later, the twins comes to a hallway guarded by security

"dammit, we'll never get past them." Francis whipsered

"not with that attitude, we won't." Franky said while grabbing his brother to the ceiling.

he grabs his fire sword blades and swings above the guards as they made to the end of the room.

"and that's how you do it." Franky smirked

"put me down dammit!" Francis shouts

Franky drops his brother to the floor. they arrived in Kyoko's room. Francis opens a trapdoor that leads them to the basement.

"ooh! clever." Franky smirks

the twins heads downstairs. Francis turns on his flashlight.

"remember."

"i know. i know. get Kyoko and get out."


in the green room laboratory

minutes later, they both arrived in the green room lab while looking around the room.

"whoa. what is this place?" Francis asked

"it's some sort of green room lab. i heard that they make all kinds of weird stuff in this place. like elixirs, oils etc." Franky explained

"i didn't know that this was even down here." Francis said

he then picks up one of the elixirs from the table and reads the label.

"snake oil?"

"okay, this place is giving me the heebee jeebees."


at the secret room

minutes later, the twins approach the secret room door.

"welp, we're here…no going back now." Franky said

they opened the door as they saw Kyoko tied up on the bed and unconscious.

"there she is!" Franky said

"Fran, you sit her up while I untie her."

Francis sits her up while Franky tries to unties her but the ropes were in tight knots.

"dammit, these knots are tight! can't get them loose. why the hell would Angelo tie her like this?"

he then pulls out his pocket knife and unties Kyoko as she falls back. Franky was able to catch her in his arms then he tries to wake her up but she still remain unconscious.

"is Kyoko okay, Franky?" Francis asked

Franky looks down at an unconscious Kyoko, "well, she's breathing but she's out cold."

"what do we do now?" Francis asked

Franky cradles Kyoko in his arms, "we gotta get back upstairs without getting caught."

"how?! there's guards all over this penthouse. if they catch us down here saving her, we're as good as dead." Francis said

"damn, you're right but she can't stay down here in this room. we have to be real smooth about it." Franky answered

"but how though?! what's our plan here?! i'm freaking out!" Francis whimpers

"shh! relax, we'll figure something out. in the meantime, let's hurry and get upstairs." Franky heads upstairs.


in the dim lighted Hallway

minutes later, they approach the same hallway that's still guarded by security while they're crouched down and hiding around the corner of the room.

Francis peaked his head out a bit looking at the guards while Franky still cradles an unconscious Kyoko.

Francis looks at his brother then starts getting jealous, "how come you get to carry her and not me?"

"now is not the time to be arguing. we gotta figure out a way how to get back upstairs without being seen." Franky whispers

"yeah, you're right. so, what's our plan?" Francis asked

"damn, that's a good question. i have no idea. we can't call Higashikata because all of the phone lines and internet networks are all connected through Yamada's office, so we're pretty much shit out of luck with that." Franky explains

Francis frowns, "i just don't want Yamada hurting Kyoko or Higashikata. i can't believe that he would leave her in that room."

"i don't want him to hurt them either but something's telling me that Yamada has something even bigger planned. just don't know what it is yet, but something's definitely coming." Franky said calmly.

Francis glances over his shoulder, "Kyoko is still asleep, huh?"

"yeah, she's out like a light."

(phone vibrating)

Franky, suddenly hears a vibrating sound and looks at his brother, "turn your damn phone off before they know that we're down here."

Francis faces his brother, "huh, that's not me. i left my phone upstairs in our quarters."

"then, where is it coming from?"

they looked around the room, then Francis looks down at Kyoko.

"hey, it's coming from Kyoko. her phone is ringing."

Franky gently lifts her up looking for the vibrating phone. he sees it in her skirt pocket.

"bingo! i found it. it's in her pocket. grab it and answer it."

Francis crossed his arms , "why the hell do i have to get it?"

"just hurry up and answer the phone, idiot!" Franky angrily whispered

"okay, okay geez." Francis grabs the phone from Kyoko's pocket as he flips it open. the phone stops vibrating.

"you're lucky that i have Kyoko in my arms." Franky said

Francis rolled his eyes and scrolls through the call log to look for the number. he sees a Caller ID number at the top of the last call list. "it says Caller ID."

"why the hell would somebody call Kyoko's phone with a Caller ID number? something's definitely up."

suddenly, the door opens as a guard walks by wearing a black suit with an earpiece in his ear. he walks up to a group of guards

"make sure that the area is clear and secured here. the boss said that he wants it to be off limits."

the agents nodded their head in agreements as they start spreading out around the room. Francis starts panicking quietly, while Franky remains calm.

"damn, they sure are persistent, aren't they?" Franky adds in

"now, what genius? these bastards are all over the place! how the hell are we gonna get Kyoko to her room without getting caught?!" Francis whispers

"don't worry, i think i have an idea. come on!" Franky leaves from around the corner carrying Kyoko.

Francis follows his brother from behind. suddenly, an air vent just opened and steam starts hissing out circling around them.

"what the hell is going on?!" Franky questioned

a background of outside the penthouse projected around them.

"wait, we're outside already?!" Francis exclaimed

Franky glares his eyes around the scenery carefully, "it can't be. something's not right."

suddenly, an unknow person approaches them. they glanced at the person.

"who's that?" Francis questioned while walking up to the person.

Franky glances closely at the unknown person. the person's eyes turns a bright solid red. he looks up and sees something glitching from above.

"Fran, it's a projection. something's projecting the person and the scenery that we're in! don't go anywhere near it! it's a trap!" Franky shouts

later, a dust tornado starts spinning again changing the room.

"damn it, this isn't good! the room's changing again!"

the tornado spins towards Francis and cuts to a room at the twins's house, then sees his mom.

"wha...wha...what?!"

"mom!"

she turns around and looks at Francis, (vision; in distorted voice) "how could you, Franny? where's your brother?"

"mom, i know what we're doing isn't right, but you gotta listen to me!" Francis nervously said

she marches towards him, "it's too late for that Franny.(emerges as a beast; in a distorted voice) you boys crossed the line and you'll never be forgiven EVER AGAIN!"

Francis screams in horror and whimpers.

"YOU DUMB ASS! I TOLD YOU IT WAS A TRAP!"

Franky, who's still cradling Kyoko, slowly backs up and covers one of the lenses making the beast disappear.

"huh?" he turns around and looks into the lens while the beast reappears.

"so, that's must be where all the lenses are being projected from! Fran, we gotta TAKE OUT THE LENSES!"

Francis regains consciousness, "RIGHT!"

he charges into one lens as his Ice Age stand activates by kicking its right foot into it, "you'll pay for using our mom's likeness!"

"HIYAH!!"

the twins's fake mom disappears. Summer Madness's razor blades swipes most of the lenses making them disappear. the twins took out most of the lenses.

Francis sees and points at the final lens, "there's the last one!"

"hurry up and destroy it!" Franky yelled

Ice Age shoots icicles at the final lens,destroying the last of the projection. the whole room returns to normal as the duo cheered.

"WOOHOO! we did it!" Francis cheered

"man, that was scary! i don't understand why Yamada would play us like that."

"yeah, me either. which is why i can't work for somebody like him." Franky adds in

they both looked down at Kyoko who's still unconscious.

"at least we saved Kyoko."

"yeah, come on, let's get out of here before Yamada knows that we're down here." Franky said heading upstairs

Francis intercepts him, "Franky!"

"what?" Franky turns around.

"it's my turn to carry her!" Francis said

Franky rolled his eyes then heads upstairs. Francis follows him.

"come on Franky, you was holding her this whole time and it's my turn!"

as they leaves, a camera with a flashing red light pulls slightly up while recording the twins leaving the room.


looks like the twins are finally starting to see Yamada's true colors at this point and they are willing to save Kyoko and keep Josuke out of harm's way. will the twins be able to get in contact with Josuke?
