The room was silent…dead silent…as though all in the room were in a funeral home.
All four Guardians were knelt down on the ground, eyes rested on the ground. Foxfire and Aztech Falcon likewise were on the ground behind the Guardians, waiting for what would happen next.
…because Copy X…was NOT happy.
The very fact that he was not talking was a sign of that. He had been silent for the past five minutes…and no one dared try to console him or ask of him. Copy X was not to be messed with when he was this angry.
"...I seem to have errored by putting this in your hands." Copy X finally said lowly, opening his ruby eyes and glaring at the Guardians before him. "Even Director Lumine has proven to be as incapable as my so-called 'Elite'."
No one answered him…no one dared to even make eye contact with him.
"...Then perhaps it's time I took matters into my own hands." Copy X stood from his 'throne' and frowned at the group before him. "I will devise a strike against the rebels and personally lead it myself."
"...Master X, please allow me t-" Harpuia started to say looking upwards, before Copy X took a step up, gritting his teeth.
"HARPUIA! KEEP SILENT! How long do you plan to keep acting like you're in charge?" CopyX glared dangerously at Harpuia, making the Guardian advert his eyes and grit his teeth. "Letting the resistance get away with countless uprisings; constantly allowing the reploid with the powers of destruction slip away from you…even going against court order and loosing sight of your HUMAN Lieutenant, putting her in mortal danger for your own life… What kind of Guardian are you?"
Harpuia panted slightly, but kept his gaze downwards…
…Foxfire did look up though, a scowl on her face.
"The Four Guardians have not been taking the one thing I entrusted to them seriously." Copy X turned his back on the group and gazed out the window, overseeing Neo Arcadia.
"You should be taking every risk…sacrificing everything…for the sake of-"
"Harpuia's life is FAR more precious than all the horrors that is the Skyfire!"
The room fell silent as Foxfire stood up, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists tightly.
Copy X paused…and turned to face the Lieutenant. She was scowling at him and looked…threatening. He had never taken the placid Foxfire to actually challenge him.
"Li- Lieutenant-" Harpuia looked towards Foxfire, looking horrified as the girl took a few steps up, standing in front of the group.
"Are you even LISTENING to the words that are coming out of your mouth?" Foxfire seethed. "You are SO OBSESSED with the powers of the Skyfire, you don't even know what Neo Arcadia truly NEEDS! Healing! New beginnings! Mercy!" She pointed towards the window that the dictator had once been looking out.
"Neo Arcadia IS in a crisis, but it's not the energy that is waning. Is the growing division between humans and reploids, since YOU deemed certain reploid lives expendable for the sake of human comfort. This city is DIVIDED!"
CopyX's eyes narrowed at Foxfire…once again…the image of Ciel came to his mind…
…accusing him of murder…accusing him of wrongdoing…
"The lives of the Guardians…the lives of NEO ARCADIA! Human and Reploid alike." Foxfire pointed towards Copy X accusingly. "...are FAR more valuable to me than giving you the powers of DESTRUCTION!"
There was a long tense moment in the room. Copy X glared at Foxfire dangerously…so dangerous, that even the Guardians were on edge.
…Phantom slowly put a hand to the handle of his katana…
Fefnir had his teeth gritted…Leviathan looked guarded…
Harpuia looked like he was watching death in front of him…
…were…Foxfire's eyes glowing?...
Copy X narrowed his eyes and slowly walked over to Foxfire…but this time, she did not move…didn't flinch…
…something had changed in her…she wasn't the same mousy Lieutenant that she had always been.
The Clone glared at the human Lieutenant for a long time.
"...leave." he growled lowly.
Foxfire frowned, her own eyes narrowing…before she turned her back on him and walked calmly out of the room.
***RB***
Raven sat on the medical berth with one of her arms hanging in the air, while her other arm hung loosely by her side. She already had her helmet off thanks to Chateau and had a blank, yet sarcastic look on her face while Ciel, Zero, and Chateau just…looked at her.
After a long moment, Raven motioned towards her left arm. "This, children. Is called an INJURY. You know what we do when our friends have INJURIES?...hmm?...no?" She flailed her other arm in the air wildly.
"WE STOP STARING AND HELP THEM!"
Chateau flinched, but Ciel took a step up, looking over Raven's arm and looking bewildered.
"...Raven, I don't quite understand…how this could have happened." She continued to examine Raven's armor, where the joint right at the shoulder had been…bent. Practically crumpled like a can or something.
"And yet it DIIIIID" Raven almost mocked, earning a sarcastic look from Ciel. The red haired amputee motioned towards her armor. "Can you imagine my horror? There I am, trying to fight Big Bird and he just SQUEEZES me, and now my arm looks like I'm hailing old-world GERMANY!"
"Ok ok, don't worry Raven." Chateau put up his hands as he took a tool from his station and made his way to the back of Raven's armor. "I'll get you out of there…but truely you're….going to have to take your armor off."
"...Absolutely NOT" Raven pointed towards the medical ward door. "I'm not letting everyone SEE me without my armor!"
"Raven, there's no other way I can work on it." Chateau motioned towards the large crumpled mess that was her armor around her arm. "To pound out these dents and smooth it over…I need to make it HOT so the metal is more pliable."
He gave her a concerned look. "And honestly the last thing I want to do is cook you."
"Well I certainly don't want to be a cannibalistic menu item now DO I?" Raven grumbled, begrudgingly relaxing as much as she could for Chateau.
"Don't worry, Raven. I'll lend you some comfortable clothes and keep you on monitor duty until Chateau is finished with the repairs." Ciel smiled lightly to encourage Raven while Chateau started messing with the joint in question to start getting Raven's armor off of her.
"You know…we need to perform that last strike and soon." Zero finally changed the subject, crossing his arms and looking pointedly towards Ciel. "The more we wait, the more likely that Clone is going to try something desperate."
"I agree." Ciel sighed slightly, folding her hands. "I need to get into contact with Foxfire and see when the best times to infiltrate the factory would be…"
Zero frowned. "I still hesitate to involve her in this…I don't trust her not to tell her precious Guardians about any of our strikes."
"I can understand your hesitation." Ciel looked towards Zero. "Foxfire has loved the Guardians since she was little."
"They could do no wrong in her eyes." Raven grumbled. "She was a star-struck child who had four superheroes. And NOW she's one of them technically…makes perfect sense why you wouldn't trust her."
"So remind me why we're confiding in her." Zero looked pointedly towards Raven. "Because she used to be your friend?"
"No. It's because she finally knows what that clone is about." Raven frowned. "...If she turns on us, then it's MY fault ok? But I know for a FACT…she won't continue to follow Copy X."
Zero let off a huff…and slowly nodded. "...Fine…then make a time to contact her and we'll begin the last strike."
Raven nodded…
CRACK! MMMRRRRRRPPPPPPPHHHH!
"GAH!"
The trio paused and looked over towards Chateau, who was activating the emergency release on Raven's armor. The joint had started to make grinding noises…and black smoke slowly started to rise from the wirings inside.
"...Oh look at that." Raven deadpanned at the sight of sparks appearing in the joint. "I'm on fire…"
***HP***
Harpuia sat in a waiting lobby, arms crossed and eyes closed. In the ICU, only family members were allowed…even him…the leader of the Guardians…had to abide by human hospital law.
He let out a deep breath as he waited for the next update he craved.
…she had to be ok…she just HAD to be ok…
"...Commander Harpuia?"
He gasped and looked up, quickly standing as a nurse made her way to him. She was holding a clipboard in her arms and looked at him seriously. "I have an update from Miss. Spazz's Doctor."
"How is she doing?" The air commander asked quietly. "Is she…going to make it?"
"Her vitals are slowly getting stronger." The nurse confirmed. "We managed to find someone who was willing to donate double units of blood for her. However, she's still in her state of coma."
Harpuia felt his chest tighten in fear…the longer Daisy stayed in coma…the more likely her vitals could get unstable. "I-...I see…Thank you."
"Don't blame yourself, Commander. You and your siblings did everything to get her to us. Personally? I have high hopes for her! Her wound is already healing so fast, it's almost like it was healing on the way over here!"
Harpuia looked confused…her wound…was already healing?...how was that possible? None of the Guardians had been able to get her any first aide before getting her to the hospital. The only other person besides Axl who had been with Daisy-
He paused and looked to the side, looking spooked.
…Raven…the Raven had been the only other one to have Daisy during the fight…
"...would you like the hospital staff to keep you updated on Miss. Spazz's condition, Commander Harpuia?"
Harpuia brought himself back to the present and nodded. "Yes. Yes please do. I would be extremely grateful, nurse."
The nurse nodded and turned to head back to the ICU…passing Foxfire who was slowly coming down the halls, looking at Harpuia expectantly.
Harpuia looked stunned to see Foxfire…though…she seemed…different. Her air she was carrying…her posture…it was like she had found some sort of inner strength. The air commander watched Foxfire for a moment…
"...how is she doing?" Foxfire finally asked quietly, putting her hands behind her back.
She received no answer…
Harpuia looked away from Foxfire for a moment, feeling a tightening in his chest. He kept silent for a long while…
"...I need to speak with you." Harpuia motioned Foxfire to follow him, turning and walking down the halls of the hospital.
Foxfire felt a twinge of fear hit her…but followed him. If she was about to be chewed out for standing up to that evil clone of X…then she was just going to have to confront Harpuia with the information she now accepted.
…if she was going to be a traitor today…then so be it.
She looked up as Harpuia opened a door for her and motioned her into a small room…a chapel? Right…it had been tradition to always have a small room of prayer in a hospital. Letting off a small sigh, she entered the room, Harpuia following her and shutting the door behind them.
Foxfire turned to face Harpuia, watching his expression…he wasn't looking at her.
…yeah…she was definitely in trouble.
A long moment passed…and Harpuia looked up at the waiting Lieutenant. "...Foxfire why didn't y-"
"Harpuia, if this has to do with yesterday, I'm not going to go back on what I said. He should never compare your worth to something as destructive as the Skyfire. Luna's powers are not as precious as the lives we're supposed to protect." Foxfire said firmly.
Harpuia…looked confused. He tried to comprehend what she just said to him…before he put up a hand. "N-...No no…this has nothing to do with yesterday…well…it kind of does, but….but not…" The green reploid let off a breath…and looked back at her, frowning. "...Why didn't you stay with your host family?"
It was Foxfire's turn to now be completely confused. Host family? What was he-
"You mentioned you were one of the three lone survivors of the rebel attack 16 years ago…" Harpuia paused…and continued. "...out of three, two became orphans..You…and another."
Foxfire paused, slowly starting to understand what Harpuia was trying to get at. "...yes…we were found…by you…after the explosion."
"...I had ordered for the two orphaned children to be cared for…" Harpuia frowned. "...What made you leave them?"
The Lieutenant sighed, but looked up, a frown on her face. "...As I stated during my trial, Commander Harpuia; I had received an onslaught of ostracizing by my peers. Even adults pitied and looked down on us. After years of receiving this torment…I came up with the idea of upgrading our protectics to be more…reploid like."
She put a hand to herself. "...Like I said before…I wanted to belong…to use my talents for good…to…be seen as someone worthwhile…and not just some poor crippled girl."
Harpuia took this in and glanced away from her…
…Explosions filled his mind…the horror he felt…the absolute pain…
"...Harpuia?"
Harpuia gasped and took a slight step back from Foxfire.
She looked stunned…what brought this back up? She had been under the impression that they had finally accepted the fact that she was human…so…why did Harpuia look so…terrified?
"...I can't tell you when the last time I saw my host family was." Foxfire finally muttered. "Once we left…there was no reason to return. Besides…If I returned, it would blow cover…I was…far too determined to fight against the rebels…to avenge myself"
Harpuia shut his eyes at her statement.
"…to protect others from their crimes." Foxfire continued. "To give everything the rebels hadn't managed to take…and give it back to Neo Arcadia."
Harpuia felt his chest tighten painfully…and he gritted his teeth.
"...Foxfire there's something you should know…" He muttered quietly.
Foxfire looked up towards the air Commander, stunned to see that he looked so…broken?
"Commander Harpuia?" She reached out to touch his shoulder. "What's-"
"All your injuries…the childhood taken from you…your parents taken from you…every cruel word you had to endure…all the pain and procedures you had to go through."
Harpuia let out a slow breath…and opened his eyes, looking at Foxfire painfully.
"...Was all by my own wicked hand."
Foxfire paused, now looking perplexed. What was he…talking about?
"...that's impossible." She took her hand from him. "...X-...He told all of Neo Arcadia that the explosion had been the fault of the rebellion…that…that the blood of all who died was on their hands."
"Yes, that is what had been said." Harpuia closed his eyes and lowered his head. "...however, it hadn't been a rebel attack against Neo Arcadia…it had been an attack ordered by Master X to destroy underground rebel alliances that resided in the city."
Foxfire felt time stop at Harpuia's revelation…she saw him look back up at her…his expression said everything….
The sounds of screaming entered her ears…the explosions…the flames…her mother's lifeless form…
…the angry glowing eyes that had glared at her…
She slowly took two steps away from Harpuia, now looking horrified. Seeing this look, Harpuia put his hands to his helmet and gritted his teeth. "Master X-...he…he ordered us to strike against the rebel reploids in the building…we…asked him to allow us to check for any humans before the strike…he-...we-..." Harpuia shuddered seeing Foxfire taking another step back.
Commander Harpuia, we really should double check the perimeter.
Master X, please allow us to do a final sweep.
Negative. Carry out your orders.
…Explosions…
…Screaming…a flash of hot trailing lights…
Harpuia shuddered and slowly sank to his knees before Foxfire.
"...I'm the one who took your parents from you…I'm the one…who injured you so terribly…resulting in you being scorned by those who were supposed to embrace you…resulting in the fact that you had no other hope…but to put your life at risk."
Foxfire felt her heart start breaking. Shattering…at this revelation. Finding out this new truth…knowing that she had been serving…the one who orchestrated such a horrible genocide. Knowing Harpuia had pulled the trigger…
…seeing him crumbling…
"...What you said yesterday…" Harpuia mumbled shakily. "...the fact that you mentioned…how precious the lives of Neo Arcadia were to you…how precious the lives of both reploid and humans were to you…you….you said my life was precious to you. You've…put your own life in danger…just to protect me…and my siblings…" He shuddered. "...I don't deserve your kindness, Foxfire…not when I was responsible for destroying your life…"
Foxfire was quiet, hot tears running down her face…the revelation of the true culprit of her pain…the pain of knowing…she had served those who had brought her so low…if anything, she could only watch Harpuia who was still on his knees, unable to look at her.
…he looked completely destroyed…shattered…
…Foxfire took a step up and got on her own knees, slowly putting her hands on Harpuia's cheeks, gently forcing him to look at her.
He flinched at her touch, but opened his eyes, gazing at the girl who he had ruined…the girl who he had trusted for so long…a little child deprived of her parents…a woman now a loyal Lieutenant…
"...I'm so sorry Foxfire…" He mumbled shakily. "...I…I deserve your hatred…I deserv-" He paused and gasped as she wrapped her arms around him and embraced him tightly. Harpuia's eyes widened, becoming limp in her hold.
All he could feel from her was…mercy…mercy he didn't deserve…
"...you're my brother, Harpuia." Foxfire whispered, holding him tighter. "...you've been my brother for so long…since the day you took me to the hospital…ensured I got care…even when you disappeared…and I didn't see you until I joined the army…you were STILL my brother. You've taken my parents from me…and in your grief you gave me yourself...a brother who's been doing nothing but taking care of me…protecting me…training me…"
Harpuia trembled at how soft her voice was…how gentle her words were.
"...Foxfire…"
"I forgive you…...I love you, Harpuia…you're my brother…you always have been…and you always will be." Foxfire replied, continuing to hold him.
The air commander felt a certain…weight leave him…his guilt was still there…his self hatred was still there…
…but…the fear…the agony he had been feeling…
Harpuia trembled and slowly wrapped his arms around Foxfire, resting his face on her shoulder as he began cradling his sister against himself, thanking Primus above for this girl's mercy…
"...I love you too, Foxfire…my sister…"
***CS***
Cyberspace was a haunting blend of knowledge, silence, loudness, and…nothingness. All that was readily available was information that were available via internet, or electronics.
It was an endless loop of history videos, security footage, memes…anything cybertronic.
This didn't matter to Shadow…all he could focus on was his last battle…being compared to the most recent battle they had been forced to stand by and watch.
Watching the Guardians going up against the New Gen reploid who had disguised himself as Storm Eagle..and had almost completely destroyed both Guardians and Rebels…
He watched the screen of Foxfire rushing to get behind Storm Eagle…and slamming her Sai into the back of his neck. Shadow narrowed his eyes and glanced at a different screen…showing the night that he and the other Lieutenants perished…
He had attempted the same move…but his sword had slashed against the mech's back…that was far more protected.
…If only he had remembered his own training…the same training that Foxfire was successfully pulling off. He was such a hypocrite…Foxfire…a HUMAN…the same human he was going to discharge…had successfully pulled off a move that he had failed to do.
…and he paid dearly for it. Now he wasn't there to protect her…now he wasn't there to warn the Guardians of their evil leader…to warn Neo Arcadia…
…to…
"Shadow…"
The ninja paused and turned, about to take a knee- only for X to put his hand on the ninja's shoulder to stop him from bowing. X gazed at Shadow firmly, yet gently.
"This burden of guilt you're carrying is not yours. Please don't dwell on what could have been…"
"...Master X…." Shadow sighed slowly and shut his eyes. "...I can't…stop thinking about what I was blind to…about the fact that that…THING is in charge of the city I love…that I failed to properly discern right from wrong…I'm not there to protect Neo Arcadia…I can never tell Commander Leviathan I love her…"
The ninja clenched his fists…and released them, deflating.
"...I…failed…"
"...Perhaps you did…" X kept his hand on Shadow's shoulder. "But you are no help to Neo Arcadia dwelling on your failures. The war is not over…for all you know…you may have contributed in far more ways than you give yourself credit for…" X smiled. "...remember…the Creator always ensures His justice is met."
Shadow slowly nodded solemnly.
"Hey Shadow!"
The Ninja paused and glanced over his shoulder. X and Shadow watched as Sobek and Sandstorm returned from their excursions, browsing all the information they could in Cyberspace.
"You are NOT going to believe this!" Sobek ran up to Shadow and X, scowling. "That girly-aft, Lumine? HE'S orchestrating a plot to take over Neo Arcadia!"
Shadow gritted his teeth and X scowled. "Why am I not surprised?" Shadow growled. "His stupid lackey is the one who took us out in the first place." He glanced back towards the screens. "...How can we possibly warn them…"
X crossed his arms, looking thoughtful…and he turned, pulling up a screen that showed the Rebel base. "Perhaps I can assist by giving some information to her…"
"...who's 'her'?" Sobek asked, watching as X pulled up security footage that came from Rebel base. The screen showed a picture of a red headed human in loose baggy sweatpants and a fuzzy hoodie. She was taking a sip of what looked like milked coffee…it LOOKED like her right hand was…metallic…
"...who is that?" Sobek tilted his head, looking confused, while Shadow stoically watched the girl drinking her coffee and looking at different sources of information on the computer. She seemed like she was studying some of the information carefully…
Shadow narrowed his eyes and scowled. "...just as I thought…" he muttered lowly. "All the tests I did…the blood results…" He put a hand to his face and shuddered. "...Foxfire...how did she hide this for so long…"
"That's not Foxfire, that's a human!" Sandstorm tilted his head, pointing towards the girl in the picture. "Besides! She's at Rebel base…why would a HUMAN be at rebel base?"
Sobek and Shadow gave Sandstorm an exasperated look.
"...Storm. CIEL is a human." Sobek mocked. "Another human at Rebel base isn't unheard of."
"...it's the Raven." Shadow muttered lowly.
Sobek suddenly looked spooked. "...WHAT?! That's impossible! That's not-" He looked over towards Shadow, his eye twitching. "That's not-"
The blue mech stopped protesting when he saw the stoic and knowing look in Shadow's eyes. "...You're…SERIOUS?! We've been fighting a HUMAN for two years?!"
"Hey guys? You know something I've noticed?"
Sobek and Shadow slowly looked towards Sandstorm who was COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to the revelation Shadow was giving. The large reploid motioned towards the deeper parts of Cyberspace, looking blank.
"The fallen come here right? That's why we're here?" Sandstorm asked.
X rubbed his face slightly, while Sobek and Shadow kept giving Sandstorm a sarcastic look.
"I haven't seen Noir anywhere. She died in a Rebel battle right? I haven't seen her."
Sobek paused…and looked towards Shadow at the point Sandstorm was making. Shadow was silent for a long time…and pointed at the screen of the girl sipping coffee…and suddenly looking interested, like she had discovered something important.
Sandstorm stared at the screen…
"...that's a human. I asked where Noir is?"
Once again he got a barrage of stoic and sarcastic looks. He looked back towards the screen…the amount of time he took staring at the screen started to make X uncomfortable and he let out a small awkward laugh as he rubbed his face.
"...by the Creator…this one is as empty as a bottomless pit…" he mumbled to himself.
"Sandstorm." Shadow's eye twitched heavily. "That human. IS. NOIR."
"...that's impossible, Noir was a soldier. Neo Arcadian soldiers are only reploids." Sandstorm blinked.
SMACK!
Shadow facepalmed and Sobek snickered slightly, rubbing his head in pure embarrassment.
***NA***
Phantom slowly walked down the halls of the base as nighttime slowly started setting. Sunset light was still kissing the corners of the base, and it was obvious that certain areas were getting prepared for recharge or night shift.
He was ready to start patrolling…but first he wanted to pay his respects to the memorial hall…
…which unfortunately was right past the Scorched Earth Squadron.
He could already hear the bellowing voice of Fefnir from inside. "But that makes no sense! I need a Lieutenant to do the heavy lifting for me. Shouldn't I pick the strongest?"
"Commander Fefnir, do you honestly think Sobek was the strongest reploid on Earth?"
Phantom paused when he heard Foxfire's voice and slowly made his way to the door to look in. She was away from the human's quarters…which didn't surprise him in the least. Being with Fefnir on the other hand…that was what caught him off guard.
Foxfire was standing next to Fefnir with her arms crossed and a sarcastic look on her face as she looked at the line of five soldiers that Fefnir was trying to pick as his new Lieutenant. Off to the side was Anubis and Aztech Falcon, the latter no doubt there to report to Harpuia about whatever choice Fefnir made.
"Well no, he had his wits…he was still tough though!" Fefnir, made a motion towards a particular reploid. "This guy here is the strongest."
The reploid puffed out his chest…
"...Yeah and his IQ is the size of a pea! He had the audacity to challenge Commander Harpuia! SANDSTORM was smarter than this guy!" Foxfire mocked, a sarcastic look on her face, causing the reploid to deflate.
Phantom snickered very slightly from the shadows.
"...well I mean…" Fefnir looked like he was contemplating. She made a fair point…he couldn't have someone who couldn't think for himself to be in charge of an entire SQUADRON when he himself wasn't there…
"...I can't think of anyone else that's both smart…AND strong… Gah…it's impossible."
Foxfire watched Fefnir and crossed her arms, rolling her eyes slightly as the Guardian continued to ponder…and ponder…and ponder. "...Oh for-" She smacked herself in the face and stormed over to Aztech Falcon and Anubis, SNATCHING Anubis by the wrist and dragging him over to Fefnir.
"Wh- Th- Lieutenant Foxfi-" Anubis paused when the human firmly planted him right in front of Fefnir.
Fefnir blinked…and looked at Foxfire, a lost look on his face. "What's-"
"HERE is your Lieutenant, Commander Fire-Brain!" Foxfire pointed at Anubis. "He's clever, Intelligent, has a wicked attack, AND THE GUY FREAKING REGINARATES HIMSELF!"
Anubis winced and put his hand up. "Lie-Lieutenant…"
Phantom shook his head as the scene continued to play, before continuing his walk. Foxfire had sure found an iron rod for her back since the passing of the other Lieutenants…it was nice to see her take charge and be a leader.
…he couldn't help but be filled with pride for her…
As he rounded the corner, he finally approached the memorial and slowed his walking. Opening and closing the door softly, he put his hands together and bowed his head in respect…before putting his hands behind his back and beginning to slowly walk down the hall.
Many reploid names and pictures were on the walls…there was even an occasional human that was featured on the wall. Many had been lost since the elf wars…then the rebellion…if it could all just stop…
…he was sick of violence…contrary to popular belief…he wanted nothing more than to enjoy a peaceful Neo Arcadia…
…maybe even enjoy married life…parenthood even…
Phantom slowed his walk and stopped when he was approaching the Lieutenant's section…but stopped upon noticing a specific memorial…
…the way the armor was…the demeanor…
The ninja narrowed his eyes and turned to fully face the picture.
'RavenNoir'
…Noir…
…RavenNoir…
He paused and his eyes narrowed. It couldn't be…
Where's your girlfriend, Ninja Ass? Find a new one?
What's wrong Ghost Boy?! Did I touch a nerve?!
Good night Dark Prince.
Phantom narrowed his eyes dangerously…
