CB: Well, I didn't get any qualms about it so…
Joy: Were back!
Feral: Yes yes, now shut up.
Joy: Party pooper!
CB: Break it up; you may be back, but let's save the antics of hilarity for next time okay?
Joy: Okay! Feral: Whatever
They had been talking for nearly three hours, sitting on broken rafter of the old building, and, strangely enough, Forte found he was enjoying himself.
"Forte?" Roll asked.
"Yeah?"
"Why do you hate Rock?" She asked out of the blue.
"What?" Forte replied. Why did people keep asking him that? Wasn't that obvious?
"I mean, I think there's more to it than you let on. You aren't really on any side anymore, so you can't really use that as an excuse. So, there has to be a reason, right?"
Forte growled. "Do you have any idea how much you sound like your brother right now?"
"Huh? Which one?"
"Blues. He asked me the same question once." Blues explained.
"Did you ever answer him?"
"No. He just kept blathering."
"Forte." Roll deadpanned. "We both know Blues doesn't 'blather'.
"Well whatever he was talking about didn't make much sense. Something about how Rock, 'holds a mirror in front of my eyes.'" Forte mocked.
"Are you sure it didn't make sense, or do you just not want to accept what you see.?" Roll asked.
"What do you mean?" Forte asked, fully tired of riddles.
"I mean, what could be in the mirror?" Roll clarified. She opened her mouth to elaborate, but was cut off as a voice called her name from the forest.
"Roll?" That all to familiar voice called gain.
"Rock?" Roll muttered.
"How did he…?
"I swear Forte! I didn't tell any body!"
"Roll?' Rock called again as he emerged from the woods, being led by Rush. As the mechanical dog approached the building, he apparently noticed the scent followed up, and spotted the sitting on the rafters, and barked to indicate his discovery. He was met with a growl and glowing red eyes from the shadows of the old building, Gospel not liking being woken up.
"Wha?" Rock said, startled. He looked up to where Rush barked, and was met by a sight he apparently wasn't expecting. "Roll, Forte?"
"Rock! It's not what you think!" Roll pleaded.
"I'm not sure what it looks like." Rock replied with a confused look on his face, before shaking it to clear his thoughts. "Listen, we'll talk about it later. Right now dad wants us back at the lab, we have problems. Forte?"
"Save it Rock. I already know what you're going to ask, and I have a feeling I know what the problem is. I am going to take care of them myself." Forte replied.
"Forte…" Roll said with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Listen, you don't know the full problem! These ones are stronger than any of us!" Rock said.
"Hah!" Forte laughed as he stood up on the rafters. "Don't make me laugh Rock! I am the most powerful creature on this planet!"
"Forte, please reconsider." Roll pleaded.
Rock just sighed and let his head droop. "Forte?"
"What?"
In answer, Rock lifted his right arm to his chest, and let it switch to blaster form.
"Rock?" Forte asked in surprise.
"You and me, right now. No time limit, no rules, and no interference." Rock explained. "If I win, you come back with us, and help us with what is to come. If you win, then, you win. Deal?"
Forte stayed silent, partly in thought, partly in shock.
"Do we have a deal Forte?" Rock asked a gain more forcefully.
"Alright, let's go." Forte agreed as he jumped off the rafter to approach Rock.
"Forte, wait-"
"Forget it Roll, He won't listen to anything else." Rock interrupted.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this, Rock." Forte commented.
"I really don't want to do this, but you don't leave me any other choice." Rock replied as he lifted his head.
"I'm ready when you are Rock." Forte said.
They both took their separate battle stances, and both seemed to wait for a signal only they could see.
"Now!" They both shouted in unison.
CB: Ah yes, the dreaded cliffhanger. I really didn't want to stop here, but I do not want these chapters too long, and I really want to do this fight justice. I will get back to this as soon as I can, hopefully tomorrow. I plan on making this a long fight. so sorry for the shortness of the chapter.
