An Old Enemy and A New Ally

"Ok, are you sure you're ready," Max asked, making sure Will's collar was down.

"Yeah, I think so," Will answered. "But I'm not completely sure."

"Why," Solo asked.

"Because I can't stop sweating."

THWACK

"Thanks," Will said.

"Any time," Solo said, stepping back after slapping Will on the face.

"Ok, so any last minute advice," Will asked, looking around the group of guys.

"Yeah," MD said, floating forward. "I'm sensing another biometal sneaking around, but I can't figure out who it is. If you happen to run into him, make sure Kass is outta the way. Remember, I won't be there tonight, since it's just you and her."

"Alright. Anything else?"

"Stop freaking out," Naruto said.

"I meant new advice."

"Other than that, no."

Will gave him a nasty look. "You suck."

***

"So, now that the two lovers are gone," Max said, after Kass and Will left, "I'm taking all of us to Beamer's."

"Alright," Naruto yelled, pumping his fists in the air. He then looked at everyone who was staring at him. "What? He's got good pizza and ramen."

"Right. Anyways, everyone needs to get ready to go in about twenty minutes." J began to walk off. "And no, we are not taking that camper. Yes, I'm talking to you, J."

"Fine," J said, crossing his arms.

***

The black figure that had followed Max and the new members on their journey back to the HQ was currently tailing Will and Kass. "Now I can have my revenge," the black figure said. "I just need to wait for the right moment. But why is it just these two by themselves."

***

"So, where are we going first," Kass asked, currently latched onto Will's arm.

"I was planning on a movie first," Will answered. "Your pick."

"Alright. That sounds good."

***

DING-A-LING-A-LING

"Welcome to Beamer's," Beamer said, currently checking the cash register.

"Yo, Beamer," Naruto said.

"Well, I'll be damned," Beamer said, looking up. "Didn't think I'd ever see you six with Max and his team. And who are these new faces?"

"This is Ashe and Grey," Max said, gesturing to the two respectively. "All eight of these people are now members of the team."

"Damn, Max. How many more people are gonna be on the team?"

"Who knows? At the rate it's going, the team could end up having more than a hundred members…if I'm really unlucky. That would be a nightmare at the HQ."

"Good luck with that. Anyways, what can I getcha?"

"I guess just let everyone order in turn," Max said.

"In that case, let me get my new employees out here first," Beamer said. "I don't think I can get all those orders at once." He turned to the kitchen. "Hey, JT, Meda, get out here. We got customers."

"Yes sir," a voice said from the kitchen.

"Wait. That voice," J said.

Two figures came out of the kitchen. The first figure was a man with brown hair, wearing a red shirt, black jeans, and a white apron over it. The second had a baseball cap on, a black shirt with blue jeans, and a currently empty pistol holster on his hip. "Well, well. Young Maxwell and his friends," the first figure said. "Hang on a second. Where's young William and that pink haired girl?"

"Andromeda?! And JT," Max said. "What are you doing here?"

"Doing our jobs," the second figure, JT, said. "After you beat us and freed Meda from Kalar's control, we decided to go straight and earn some money."

"That's right," Andromeda said. "And my name isn't 'Andromeda'. That was the name that was given me. My original name is just 'Meda'. Kalar just added an extra five letters. No idea why. Now then, perhaps you could answer my question."

"Oh, sorry," Max said. "They're on their first date right now."

"Oh ho. So, young William has got himself a girlfriend," Meda said. "Well, kudos for him. Now then, how about we start you all off with a flamer first?"

"NO," everyone who had ever had the flamer, excluding Max, yelled.

***

"That was a good movie," Kass commented, once again latched onto Will's arm. "Where to next?"

"The restaurant where we first met," Will said. "Tonight is something of a special night there."

"Oh. And what's that?"

"It's set up to be a much more romantic setting. Dim lighting, soft violin music in the back, waiters with horrible accents. The normal stuff."

***

"Man, that was good," Kyuubi said, leaning back in his chair.

"Hey, why haven't you given Rockman, Kyuubi, and Shinobi those watch things," Lan asked. "Has Will come up with a name for that thing yet?"

"To answer your first question, people are used to seeing Kyuubi and Shinobi around. And having two guys look like each other can cause some problems. To answer your second," Max said, "no, hasn't." (Side Note: I seriously need some help with the names for the watches and necklaces. Please, give me ideas.)

"By the way, how is it possible for netnavis to eat," Chaud asked.

"I am getting really tired of answering these kind of questions," Max said. "Ok, I'm only gonna say this one more time to the people gathered around here. The laws of the Prime Zone differ from the laws of other zones. They are radically different."

"Right. Sorry."

***

"Here is your check sir," a waiter said, handing Will a small black book.

"Thank you," Will said, taking the book. After he had paid, he and Kass walked out of the restaurant.

"This was an amazing night," Kass said.

"Yes it was." Will looked at Kass, who looked back at him. They leaned forward and…

"DESERT WAVE!" A shock wave of hundreds of trillions sand grains came flying at them, interrupting them, Will grabbing Kass and turning his back towards the shockwave, his armor activating. "So, you managed to block both the sand and protect the bitch, eh," a voice behind them said, a notable Australian accent to it.

"Wait, I know that voice," Will said. He let go of Kass, turning around to face the voice. "Desert Coyote."

The figure, with a holstered pistol and a sword on his back, was standing there, a helmet resembling a coyote and a tail resembling that of a coyote as well, with claws at the end of his fingers. "That's right, mate," DC said. "I'm back to have revenge."

"I kicked your ass last time," Will said. "What makes you think this time will be any different?"

"Because of this." DC drew his sword off of his back. He brought it over his head. "SAND SLICE," he yelled, the sword glowing, and swinging his sword down. The sword hit the ground, sending a wave of energy, gathering up more sand grains around it, slamming into Will, knocking him back and into the ground.

"Will, are you okay," Kass asked, running up to him.

"Depends," Will answered. "Do you hear those bells?"

"What bells?"

"Then I'm not okay," Will said, trying to get back up. But he promptly fell back down.

"Don't even try to stand up after that kind of hit," DC said. "You don't have a chance of getting up. That attack uses sound to mess with a person's balance."

"Of course it does," Will said. "Kass, I can protect myself, but you need to get out of here."

"No way," Kass said, standing back up and stepping around Will.

"And what are you gonna do," DC asked.

"You attack me and my boyfriend on our first date. You call me the 'B' word. You just screwed up my boyfriend's balance and possibly damaged his hearing if that attack really does use sound," Kass said, cracking her knuckles. "I think I'm going to make you regret it." She ran at him and started to attack him, punching and kicking wildly. (Side Note: to all fellow males, believe me when I say that a woman's wrath is to be feared.) A cloud of dust surrounded Kass and DC. All that was heard was yipping and the sound of hits landing.

A man passing by stopped to observe the fight. "That girl's pretty good," the man commented to Will.

"That's my girl," Will said proudly.

***

"Well, we'll be seeing you later, Beamer," Max said as they made their way out of the restaurant. "You too, Meda and JT."

"Alright. Come back soon," Beamer said. He turned to Meda and JT. "Alright, fellas. Let's clean up and we'll lock up for the night."

"Yes, sir," they both said.

***

"Hey you two," J said as Will and Kass came into the HQ. "How was date?"

"It was good," Will said.

"Anything interesting happen," Z asked, coming into the room.

Will and Kass looked at each other. "Nope," Kass answered. "Nothing worth mentioning."

***

At the restaurant, DC was laying down on the walkway. His helmet was dented and his tail was broken, the last three inches just hanging by a thread. His claws were snapped and his torso armor was cracked in places. He was currently groaning and whimpering from the beating that he had just had. "Man, I hate those two," he said.
