Chapter two:
"Okay hold on. So what you're saying is that there is someone out there that is in charge of both the Mad King and the Corpirate?" Hilda questions after X-ray and Vav have just finished making sure that the others know what happened.
"Yeah. Though we don't know who since they only referenced him or her as the boss." Vav confirms.
"It means that someone out there is even more powerful than both the Corpirate and the Mad King." X-ray adds standing with his arms slightly crossed over his chest.
"If this person has those two under their command then who knows how many others especially villains are under this persons command." Ash says then Hilda turns to Rusty.
"Do you know anything about this?"
Rusty shakes his head. "Nope. I always assumed that the Corpirate was in command."
Hilda looks away with a thoughtful hum. "Well this is a little worrisome." She says. "This person is obviously very dangerous whoever it is. Well need to stay on our toes and watch for anything. If we see the Mad King or the Corpirate again we'll need to try to get answers." She looks to the two heroes. "For now we'll just have to continue as normal. There's not much we can do as of right now."
X-ray and Vav nod in agreement understanding where Hilda is getting at.
"Well. That should be it today. Go ahead and head home for some rest." Hilda says. "We need to make sure we are as prepared as possible to possibly fight this person when he or she appears."
"Okay." Vav agrees. "That sounds reasonable."
So the two heroes leave Monarch labs. As they walk to their apartment X-ray glances to Vav.
"So what are your thoughts on the situation?"
Vav turns to glance to him. "Well I think that whoever this is could be the greatest villain yet. I mean what if we have to fight all three of them, I mean this unknown person plus the Mad King and Copirate together."
"It would be a long hard battle. The three of them have to have a lot of brains especially if this person commands those two." X-ray says turning to look where they're going.
"Yeah." Vav says also turning to where they are going. "He or she must be bloody scary."
X-ray shrugs. "Who knows."
They make it to their apartment complex and head to their apartment closing the door behind themselves.
"So." Vav smiles at X-ray. "How about we play some halo?" He suggests.
X-ray smirks. "You're on." He agrees and the two boys rush to the couch climbing onto it picking up the controllers from the coffee table.
They turn on the PS3 and find a halo game inside so they start it up ready to beat each other at the game.
"Haha!" X-ray laughs as he starts to win.
"Noooo!" Vav squawks at this. "You can't win!"
"I'm going to win in the end." X-ray says. "Just wait and you'll see. It'll be my victory Vav." He then cheers as he wins the round causing Vav to whine at his defeat.
They continued gaming until it's dark outside and they grow tired. They shut down the game and console then head to bed for the night.
When Vav blinks awakens the sun is streaming through his window. He slightly pushes his torso up off the bed. "Another day." He says sitting up and stretches his arms above his head before lowering them to look at the alarm clock.
Nine thirty in the morning.
"X-rays probably sleeping in." Vav says to himself then he throws the covers off as he gets up. He heads to the kitchen to start at least some sort of breakfast. He decides on making pancakes today and grabs the pancake mix feeling a little lazy. He begins to make it and when he's practically all done is when X-ray stumbles in looking tired. "Morning." He greets the other who just groans at him only to sit down at the table.
X-ray lays his head on the table and Vav places he last pancake on the plate before taking it to the table. His eyes flicker up as the Brit puts the plate on the table.
"Pancakes this morning." Vav says with a smile and he turns off the stove.
"Yay." X-ray groans and sits up grabbing an extra plate set up. He takes some pancakes and looks for the syrup. He turns as Vav grape it placing it on the table. He takes it and pours some on his pancakes.
"Were meeting at Hildas lab today." Vav says as he settles at the table. "She probably has at least something new for us."
X-ray groans again and scoops up a forkful of syrupy pancake. "You can go on ahead. I wanna shower today." He says before eating whats on his fork.
"Okay. If you say so." Vav says then continues eating.
They eat mostly in silence then leave the dishes in the sink for now.
Vav gets dressed in his superhero suit then turns to call to X-ray who is probably in his own room. "I'm heading out! I'll see you at Hildas lab!"
"Okay!" X-ray calls back and Vav leaves.
Vav decides to walk to Hildas lab today. He glances around himself at the peaceful city as he walks. "It's a beautiful day." He says turning to face where he is going only to take a moment to close his eyes enjoying a small breeze. He opens his eyes and continues on his way. He arrives at Hildas lab in good time and walks inside.
Hilda and Ash are inside and gathered around whatever Hilda is doing or showing.
"Hey Vav." Ash greets then tries to look around him. "Where's X-ray?"
"Wanted to take a shower. He was half asleep though. Either way he'll be coming along." Vav explains then moves further inside. "So what's going on?" He asks trying to get a good look at whatever has the two girls standing around it.
"Well Vav. This is something I just finished. It's a tracking device. You shoot a small tracker onto a target and a little screen pops up to show you where the tracker signal is." Hilda says gesturing to the black thick round gun. "I figured that it might help in the end against this unknown villain. Especially if we must find a way to find this person if the person doesn't come out. After all this person is a rather big threat."
"Ohh." Vav says in interest looking it over without touching it.
They turn as the door opens and Rusty walks in.
"You're still here?" Rusty questions.
"What do you mean?" Hilda asks.
"I heard some rumours that the Mad King and Corpirate were spotted on the east end of the city." Rusty explains.
"This is perfect. We can get a tracker attached to one of them then they will lead us right to their boss." Hilda says then turns to Orf. "Orf?"
"Yes Miss Hilda?" Orf asks looking at Hilda.
"Send a message to X-ray would you? Tell him to meet us on the east side of town." Hilda says in which Orf responds in confirmation that it'll be done. She turns to the others. "Lets go." She grabs the tracking gun and they all hurry off to get to the east side of town.
...
"There we go." The Mad King says brushing off his hands. "All set." He turns to the Corpirate. "Now all you have to do is follow my lead."
"Just because ye is banging the boss doesn't mean ye has any power over me." The Corpirate states standing tall.
The Mad King smirks slightly. "Oh come now. You know this plan will work." He says. "Just do your part and everything will be fine." He walks away with that as the Corpirate watches.
