After going through the whole ordeal with Yinu, it made me a bit down in the dumps, but I still joined up with Zuke and Mayday for meeting up with Kliff, but we also managed to get a DJ that could interview us named Zam, which I was all for.

"Okay, how was the deal with Yinu?" Kliff asked, me sighing at him.

"Her piano got busted... but we made up... I just feel bad for her," I admitted.

"Ah, don't worry about it. She's mature for her age. After all, she taught you everything on how to play instruments, right?" Kliff asked, me nodding.

"Yeah... so what's next up?" I asked.

"Well, this next one may be a bit tricky. You'll be going after 1010 and their leader, Neon J," he said, which made me raise an eyebrow.

"Neon J? The toymaker? The admiral of the navy? Head of J-1 Industries? What's he doing in NSR?" I asked.

"Not a clue, but... wait, what? He made toys before?" Zuke asked.

"AH! Oh my gosh, I remember now! He made these special J-1 toys back before he went into the war with those energy terrorists! This one's my favorite," Mayday smirked as she showed off a special toy that looked like an action figure of the very first vocaloid ever made at NSR, that being Deena Lee!

"Wow... so when we face him, where will it be?" I asked.

"You'll find him past the Natura district. They're currently on tour with a lot of security standing between you and them. If you go out in about 30 minutes, you can probably catch their flying limo before they start going on the move to the harbor," Kliff explained.

"Oooh! We get to go on their limo, too? Oh my gosh!" Mayday smirked.

"May?" Zuke frowned.

"Oh, uh, nevermind. Let's get going, guys," May smirked after recovering from her fangirl side as I then smirked and looked at myself in a mirror, getting a small bit of the mayo from my hoagie off of my black side... as for those wondering, I was a bicolorn, which was a subrace of human that had one side being a color and the other side a different one. As for mine, my left side was aqua blue and my right was pure black. I didn't really mind, it made me look super cool and edgy. But it did result in bullying, but I beat them up should they make fun of me, so it didn't last too long.

After the briefing, we then left the sewers and proceeded to the alleyway above, but we then heard some beats coming from the alleyways.

"Uh-oh, DK West alert," I frowned. And the big brother then hailed us down with his shadow puppet powers, me groaning at him. "Ugh, West, we don't have time for this," I groaned at him.

"Ah, just as I'd expect from the sister of Evelyn! No nonsense all time, always focusing on one thing at a time," DK West said, me getting an eyebrow to raise at that.

"You know who Evelyn is? And where she's at? Last I heard, she ran away from home," I asked in surprise.

"Ask Zuke," West smirked, me looking at Zuke and for him to groan.

"She... we were a part of a band together... we also dated, but uh... it didn't end well," Zuke frowned.

"Well, why didn't you tell me?" I asked him.

"Because she's the most popular artist in NSR," he frowned, me gawking at that.

"What?... Oh... Oh my god... Evelyn is THE Eve?! I knew she ran away because of the bullying, but then she becomes a pretentious artist?!" I gawked.

"Ahhh! Looks like you could vent off some steam! How about an Hoho Ewah! RAP! BATTLE?!" West asked, me smirking at that.

"Ugh, we don't have time for-" Zuke was about to say before I placed my shadowy hand on him.

"We could use this to prepare ourselves for going up against my sister... I have some things to vent, you as well, and I'm sure West would too," I smirked.

"So that means I'll sit it out, then?" Mayday asked.

"If you don't mind, we need to get some things off of our chest," I smiled as we then entered the battle with West spitting out the first rhyme.

"~Here you come back to DK's pad! Guess what? They know that I am rad!
Let us have a good rap battle, before I go and hit the saddle!
Everyone knows and everyone sings, DK West Is KING!" West sung as we then got to him and attacked his shadow puppet before we then got to me rapping, which I turned into a vent.

"~You dare use Evelyn against me? How long has she been in this city?!
I demand answers done in rhyme! Tell me how she reached fame sublime!
Been five long years since flew the coop! Let me know how to get the scoop!
DK West, I'm not asking here! Tell me right now, say it to my ear!" I shout-sung the last bit as we then did the same shadow attack and West then spoke up.

"Ah, so angry, but that's expected, know that Eve has been respected
As a high end artist of Vinyl City! She doesn't deserve your party of pity!
Bicolorn and so forlorn, her emotions have become so torn!
Baby Zuke just broke her heart, just as much as he smells like farts!" he sung, me gasping as Zuke then growled as we got to the next rhyme and Zuke then got mad. Madder than I ever saw him before!

"Listen West, I've had it with you! Treating me nasty is all you do!
I'm never going to love you, man! Just go hop back in that van!
See, West? I have no bro! I want you to just GO!~" Zuke shout-sung, me gasping as I then immediately stopped in shock.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA! What the hell, Zuke?!" I asked, him then seething in anger as DK West looked surprised just as well.

"Eh... I'm no brother, huh, Zuke? I'm just gonna go take a breather," West said, me frowning at Zuke as he looked like he was about to say something before I got him by the hand.

"What in the hell was that, Zuke?! 'I have no bro?' You do realize that's a phrase that's almost impossible to take back, right?" I asked him, which Zuke then growled and took his hand out of my grasp.

"You're the one who insisted we do this!" he frowned.

"Had I known you would've said something that nasty, I would've declined! I should know..." I sighed as I then held my hand to my chest. "I made that same mistake when I was in high school..." I said, which Zuke then looked to be surprised.

"Wait... you mean that... you said that to Eve?" Mayday asked in surprise. I sniffed as I felt tears go down my face.

"I did... and ever since, I've regretted that day... I just want to apologize to her, to make it up to her... I wasn't there to help her when she needed it most... I don't want you to make the same mistake, Zuke," I said, him looking a bit sad as I then looked at him and Mayday. "I think we'll do something different here. You guys go after West, try to talk to him alone. I'll go after 1010 myself," I said.

"You're sure? What if something bad happens? You might get infatuated to their side," Mayday asked in concern.

"Don't you remember? I'm antisex. No parts for anything and no hormones for boys or girls. I'll be able to handle myself without issue, especially since my trumpet can change to different genres of music, with my most recent upgrade," I smirked as I then showed them the last upgrade I'd made to my trumpet, which they gawked at how the trumpet then split into three different ones and each one would be able to be used by my retractable extra arms. I then blew jazz music into one, made percussion noises with the other, and when I moved my fingers on the buttons of the last one, guitar music emerged.

"Wow! You're a one woman band! Why even join us, then?" Zuke asked.

"I only finished this upgrade right before we went to our mess of an audition. I'll perform for all three of our roles against 1010, promise," I smirked.

"Okay, stay safe, Jing... Zuke, remember, don't get upset, say the right words. If you need help, I can find the words for you," Mayday said, me nodding at her.

"Y-Yeah... go get 'em, Jing..." Zuke sighed as I then rushed off to Natura district and, after getting there and powering all the mini qwasa machines with the power diodes I'd been finding, I then got to jump down to 1010's section of the city, where I then moved forward and saw the parade of limousines going through the city! I immediately jumped onto the first one I could and proceeded to fight my way through the cavalcade of flying limos until, after nearly 30 limos had been gone over, I then reached the main battleship, where 1010 was in the middle of dancing, which I spoke up.

"Hey! Roboto boys! Where's Neon J?" I asked them.

"Ah, what delicious colors; luscious lips; thighs so emaculate!; You're a gorgeous woman of culture, we can TELL!" 1010 tried to butter me up, which I frowned at.

"Nice try, but I'm not into anyone. Let alone robots that are programmed for singing and nothing else. Now tell me where Neon J is," I pouted at them.

"Ah, but we want to bring the sexy revolution! I hope you packed your optimal thermal goggles because, WE'RE GONNA BRING THE HEEEAAAAT! UH!" the singers spoke as I then proceeded to blast apart the one member with six arms and my rocking music, which is when a giant flying batter thing came in and I saw a man with a human body and a screen for a head come in.

"HEY! You want to try and take over my battleship! This means war! Commence Operation Replication! OH YEAH!" the guy said, me frowning at him.

"Neon J! I just want to get the Platinum Record!" I shouted at him.

"Excuses excuses! You don't want that! You just want to fight me! I know how you destroyed Yinu's piano and broke the planetary dome!" he shouted before flying away and for the newest replacement bot from 1010 to then start attacking with lasers while the members protected themselves with shields that I couldn't bust through. But noticing that some of the lasers were purple, I attacked them and sent them back to sender, as well as beating up on the members one at a time when they let the shields down temporarily. And after knocking out two of them, I used guitar transform on one of their corpses as the machine came back, which sent grenades at it from ground level, along with me sending long-range blasts of trumpet music via a solo at Neon Jay while also playing the other instruments. And after this, Neon J gawked at this.

"Ack! Retreat! Ret-" he shouted before the machine started to spin out of control and the different 1010 robots... lost all their makeup and hair and now looked like they were horror robots with fancy clothes! They still tried to attack me, but then, when they saw that there were cameras following after us, they went to pose for them... and I heard screams across the city before the robots exploded into tons of scrap metal!

"Ooh... that didn't sound good," I frowned... and then the flying machine fell onto the top of the limo. "And neither did that!" I gawked.

"You're not dealing with a mere manager of music! YOU ARE DEALING WITH A COMMANDER! Commence! Operation! SEEK AND DESTROY!' Neon J shouted as he then had his robot grow arms and legs and he proceeded to attack with it, me dodging a punching attack, while also shooting tons of bullets at him as well as parrying some purple grenades that he launched at me. And after this, he then looked to be getting woozy.

"Okay, since Mayday and Zuke are busy, I'll have to do it myself! Red Light! Yellow Light! Green Light! BUNKA! JUNKA! SHAKALAKKA BAM!" I shouted as I sent forth a massive laser at the machine, which made Neon J shout in fear as the robot started to fall apart.

"AAAAH! Abandon ship! ABANDON SHIIIIP!" he shouted before his robot fell apart, along with all of his 1010 robots as he landed on the limo, and we ended up getting grounded right by a part of town that would lead close to Festival Plaza. "Cagk... you little brat... go ahead. Do it. Finish me off!" Neon J said angrily, me frowning at him.

"I just want your platinum record," I frowned at him.

"Peh! Then what about you hurting Yinu and ruining her piano? And destroying Supernova's dome?! You're just... cack... going to ruin everything I own, too, aren't you?" he asked. "Do it! Finish me off already, like all the ones before!" he shouted, me then realizing something was... very off.

"Neon J... did you ever go to counseling for what happened in war?" I asked, him growling at me.

"What's that supposed to mean?! You're just as much a terrorist as they were! Just do it!" he shouted, me simply going towards him and, he winced his screen as I placed my hand to him and gave him something that he'd need.

"Here, take it and read it," I said, him looking at the thing I handed him and him then reading it.

"Doctor Shila Bofaa... PHD of psychology, neurology, and therapy? What is this?" Neon J asked.

"It's my mom. She specializes in war veterans... sorry for ruining 1010... I tried to tell you that I just wanted the record, but you weren't really wanting to listen," I said.

"I... I need help... I really do..." he said as he began to cry.

"And my mom can help... she's available from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening. Go to Twentown, that's where her office is. I'll call her ahead of time for an appointment," I smiled, him then looking at me in confusion.

"Why... why are you being so... so nice to me?" he asked, me sighing at him.

"I don't know why you'd want to support NSR, considering they're doing exactly what the energy terrorists did in the war 10 years ago. Siphoning energy from most of the city for only the bigwigs... or were you even made aware of that?" I asked, him gawking at that.

"I... I didn't know..." he admitted.

"Just promise me that you can rebuild 1010 to be nicer to people as well as try to expand their branding to other venues. Maybe you can even make a new toy line?" I smiled.

"You know about my toys?"

"Yes. Mayday has one of your original action figures of Deena Lee, first edition, too," I smirked. "If I were you, I'd ask for an appointment in between 1 to 3 in the afternoon. She thinks and works best after lunch," I smirked at him.

'T... Thank you," he squeaked out as he then gave me the record, it being in a suitcase that he had hidden in his robot. "Go, quickly... I need to rebuild my band..." Afte that, I walked away and back to the plaza before then heading to the sewers... I had to recompose myself, since I also noted that Zuke and Mayday had yet to return... so I then went to Kliff to speak to him on my own.

"Hey, Kliff? I'm... conflicted," I said, him looking at me in surprise.

"Why is that, Jing? Just look at the charts? Everyone loves what you're doing! Only a little bit more and we can finally defeat NSR!" Kliff smiled.

"It's not that... I'm just worried about meeting up with Eve... see, she and I... we're sisters..." I said, which made Kliff look surprised. "Yeah... we don't look a thing alike, do we?"

"Uh... not really, aside from both of you being bicolorns," Kliff admitted. I then proceeded to tell him why I was worried about it... via explaining it from when I was 5 years younger.

It was shortly after the end of my 10th grade year, when Evelyn had told me she was tired of having to deal with the bullies. Keep in mind, because of us being bicolorns, which were just as much a subrace as Amorphans, but more accepted than singular-colored humans, we had to deal with bullying all the time. I dealt with it by beating people up. Evelyn bottled her emotions up, and she had just graduated from 12th grade, but felt it was empty.

"How can you still go to that worthless school when they've done so much to hurt us?" Evelyn asked me in annoyance as I simply sighed. I had to hear her complain every day and at this point, it was getting on my nerves.

"Why are you worrying about my life again? You're your own self. You've gotten out, now you can do whatever you want," I smiled at her, though it was through my own bottled emotions.

"I don't want you to be bullied because of me! I... I started an online art series... people make fun of me on there if I'm not wearing makeup for my other side..." she said with sadness. "I don't know how I can defend myself from people online... they're even more ruthless than the ones at school!" Evelyn said with anger.

"It's not the brightest move to do stuff online if you have a fragile mindset. You need to talk to mom about it, not me," I frowned.

"I CONTAIN MULTITUDES, DAMMIT! Mom would never understand!" Evelyn shouted as she then did something that made me gasp. She proceeded to throw something at me... I ducked out of the way in time but... it ended up smashing into something that was on the table. It was something that made me gasp.

"NO!" I shouted... it was the last thing my father had left behind for me... it was a small bugel that, when it was hit by the forceful throw of Evelyn throwing a flower pot at it... it managed to slam the bugel into the floor... and it busted the mouthpiece and bent the horn itself! "D-Daddy's bugel... it's... it's ruined..." I cried, which Evelyn then looked at me in concern.

"I... I didn't mean to... I mean-" she was about to say... but my emotions were raging all over. I then growled angrily and put the bugel down, turned around... and proceeded to slam my fists into Evelyn all over, to the point she was crying after.

"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS RUINING MY STUFF WITH YOUR SOB STORIES! I HAVE NO SISTER ANYMORE!" I shouted at her, which Evelyn then sniffed and ran off in a crying mess to her bedroom... then, after an hour had passed... I felt guilty. It was an accident after all. I then went to her bedroom to check on her... the door was locked. No sound came from within. "Evelyn? Are you in there?" I asked. No response. I simply grabbed the key that we kept for instances like this and I opened the door. "Evelyn, I wanted to apologize for-" I said before I saw a sight that made me gasp. The room was an absolute mess! Her bed sheets had been completely torn into pieces, she splattered her paint all over the floor... and she even left a note on the wall next to the open window.

"Goodbye, Jing... this is what you wanted." Is what it read. After this happened, I immediately told mom, and she then searched high and low with me... we didn't even try to take it to the police, because even in Twentown, the police rarely helped bicolorns or Amorphans in case of a robbery. They couldn't care less if one of us ran away from home or got kidnapped! But we did know it wasn't the latter, since she left that note as well as made her room an absolute train wreck, including the fact that she destroyed most of her artistry in the process! The only things that had gone with her were her toothbrush, her wallet, a few basic pieces of clothes, and her laptop. She took nothing else. NOTHING! It was the last time I felt I'd ever see her...

And I never got to apologize to her for saying the one thing you can never take back...

"Wow... that's uh... that's messed up..." Kliff said, me sighing and nodding.

"Zuke isn't the only one who needs to speak with her... I do, too, but to make things right... I don't want her to live the rest of her life thinking that I hate her... I want to apologize, make things right... and that's why Mayday and Zuke are taking a little longer to get back. Zuke made the same mistake as me, and I don't want him to ruin his one chance to apologize and make up..." I said, which I then heard the sliding door open and for Mayday and Zuke to appear from it.

"Hey... how'd things go?" I asked, which Zuke smiled after.

"It went well... thanks for encouraging me to do that... I uh... I just had a lot of bad blood with him," Zuke said, me nodding.

"As do all siblings at some point. Rule number one, always remember that family sticks together no matter what. If it cracks, it must be repaired, or bad things are sure to follow," I said with a small smile. "Now, we need to find out how to reach my sister, but doing it as gently as possible... her mindset is not the most stable, even for those of her special... um... talents," I frowned.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Mayday asked.

"What she means is that Eve happens to have a special power to mess with your perception of reality. She'll get in your mind and make you see things that aren't real, and question which is fake or not," Kliff explained for me.

"In basic terms, she's a psychic prodigy... but because of her unstable state of mind, she's a very dangerous user of it. If she gets too worked up, we can expect her to mess with us heavily," I frowned.

"Yeah... I learned that the hard way when I broke up with her. Just a normal day of shooting art videos and then she lights my hair on fire because it was what she thought felt would fit the art we were doing... tell me how fire and spray paint do well together," he frowned.

"They don't. I didn't know it was even more fragile than back home... back then the worst she did was mutilate art that she made with horrid colors and smashing her pottery if she got upset," I sighed. "Let's get going... any leads, Kliff?"

"You'll find her at her art exhibit near the Dream Light District. You can get there using the Platinum Record provided by 1010 and Neon J. Were you more forgiving to him than the others, like you've been doing?" Kliff asked.

"He fought back against me, even though I tried to tell him that all I wanted was the record... by the time I finally got through to him, it was after I destroyed his robot factory, all of his robots... and after I found out he never got therapy for his war days. I need to call my mom and ask her something on the way," I said with a small smile.

"Isn't your mom a therapist?" Mayday asked.

"Yes, she is. I told him my mom could help him with his issues, and that she'd be available tomorrow. She doesn't get too many visitors, so I need to make sure that I can get her to schedule Neon J for a session," I said as I then called my mom as we got on the road.

"Hello, my little trouble-maker! I've been seeing you a lot on the news tonight," mom smirked at me on the phone.

"Hi, mom... listen, I need a huge favor... can I ask you to schedule in a man called Neon J for a therapy session tomorrow?" I asked her.

"He already called me and I told him he could come at anytime between 1 and 3 and that I'd spend as much time as I could with him. Maybe more sessions if he needed it. Good thing healthcare is free, isn't it?" she asked, me nodding at that.

"Indeed... thanks a million, mom..." I smirked at her.

"Before you hang up, can you tell me why you're doing this? Why are you becoming a terrorist in the music industry?" she asked.

"I'm trying to cause as little damage as possible, believe it or not... basically, NSR is stealing power from any district with Rock and Roll or any subgenre. I need to reach Tatiana so I can force her to stop discrimination. I'll still allow the other artists to work their craft, I just want all the hate for Rock and Roll and all genres of music to be allowed in Vinyl City. She's drunk on power and I need to stop her," I spoke to my mom.

"Just be careful. I may not know much about Tatiana, but I do know that she didn't become CEO for nothing. She's INSANELY strong, both physically and mentally. Do not underestimate her because of her age, she is probably going to be your toughest opponent you fight," mom said.

"Thanks, mom... I also found out where Evelyn is..." I said, mom gasping at that.

"Y-You did?"

"You know Eve? Most popular NSR artist? That's Evelyn... she's been in Vinyl city under our noses this whole time!" I smiled at her.

"T-That's great! Please, if you see her, be nice to her, please? And try to have her call me? I want to hear her voice again..." mom asked politely.

"I'll try to get her to do so... okay, gotta hang up, mom. I need a drink of soda," I smirked at her.

"Don't drink too much, or you'll burp during your songs," she smirked, me nodding as I then bid farewell and hung up, only then getting some choco root beer from a drink dispenser on our way towards where I fought 1010. Soon I'd be encountering my sister... and I had to hope that she'd be more forgiving than usual...
