The times without The Phantom of the Opera, not-straight Gus and Lync were... eventless. Volt, Mylene and Shadow were a group of their own. Well, Shadlene were, and Volt was more like a third wheel and didn't even realise it, but still... I didn't seem like a part of the club. While they were brawling, I sat and watched.
When Spectra and the company were back, he said Mylene and Shadow are going to fight the brawlers and I... will be there to dust the floor I guess? He didn't say. Also, surprise! He brought Mira with him! Mylene seemed pretty angry, or was it just her personality? Guess she was worried that now, with two more girls in the group she's not the prettiest anymore. But how did that had anything to do with Mira anyway? Bitch please, I was the prettiest. And now our team had three Subterra brawlers! But I still wasn't allowed to brawl.
Anyway, he transported the three of us into an arena. They both had smirks on their faces. I was just standing there and well... I stood there. They made a dramatic entrence and both used sentences with exclusively "we" pronouns which was kinda their thing.
Mylene told me: "You can sit here and watch how the real Vexos brawl." First of all, where am I going to sit? Second, how in hell I ain't a real Vexos? I'm not an ego-maniac? I don't have a fancy furry cape that most be pretty annoying to wear when it's hot?
"You mean, I can watch the real Vexos lose?" I responed
"Hey watch it!" Shadow responed with don't-you-dare-talk-to-my-girl-like-that look. It was interesting, when Mylene said something mean to me and that woman's name RHYMED with mean, and I responded to her, Shadow would almost always have a response of his own, regardless of whether the subject did or did not have anything to do with him. That seemed to annoy Mylene, I guess cause she thought that makes her look like she can't defend herself, or just because she was herself and everything annoyed her. In this case, yes, I did said Shadow will lose, but again, I was right, so I get the points for that?
When the battle was over, Mylene was angry at Spectra because the brawlers escaped. Gus defended his Master and possible future husband by saying it's Mylene's fault which made Mylene furious, Shadow was already furious because he lost and so on... But something didn't seem right there. How did Shun, Marucho and Ace escaped? They were trapped in whatever that liquid was for days and they just... escaped? The capsules (whatever they're call) didn't have a scratch on them. The only logical explanation was that somebody LET THEM OUT. It was most likely Mira, but still I had to check. So I waited for everybody to fall asleep and Shadow to go to his room and start playing his stupid video games with constanly loud unimaginative swears, getting Mylene's whose room was right to his, replies containing swearing that was… way more creative. I carefully sneaked by all this jelling to the control room where a fat guard was snoring loudly. I rewounded the tape to the part right before we went to check the prisoners and surprise... there was Mira who was unsuccessfuly trying to get the right code and Spectra... sorry, The Phantom who helped her and free them all! And then let the blame fall on someone else. Yes, it was Shadlene who got the blame, but still... not cool, man. Not cool. If it was Lync who found this, he would probably used it to blackmail Spectra, but I very luckily wasn't Lync. I put the tape out. No one shall find out and I will find out what the brother and sister were up to, if they were even up to the same thing. I still didn't realise why did Mira joined us in the first place, but I will. Now I need to go to my bed and listen to Mylene and Shadow argue.
