"Now that we're here demmy babe, mind telling me why we're here?" Scaramouche the merciless spoke with his infamous grin as he looks around the quaint little town. 'not to mention the nice upbeat music playing. Wish I can live in this dimension but business calls.'

Demongo the soul stealer glares at his companion (and dare he calls him his lover)

"We are here to take and bring this so called energy vampire to our world. Our Mastah seems to take a liking to him."

"So we're here to bring someone who might become Akus' fave? Why not just kill him. That way its just us two. Not to be crude and all but I don't wanna share you baby."

Demongo, if you can see, rolled his eyes and glares up to Scaramouche and looked around. "Which is why I chose this dimension personally. This dimension, the energy vampire, Nos-4-a2, is a good guy. If we present Aku this one, he will be displeased and destroy him. Making us his favorite."

Scaramouche smirk as he leans to Demongo's side and growls, "I love it when you talk that way."

Demongo pushes him away with a scowl. "We cannot get distracted, after we are done we can…. Delve into such." Demongo hisses as Scaramouche smirks. "Of course babe but I can't even detect him. What is he an organic?!"

Demongo was confused now. "He isn't. This is confusing indeed for this is a robot." Scaramouche frowned and decided to enact.

"He's a good guy right? Then let's see if anyone knows where he is."

Demongo nodded and both made their way to ask everyone in the town. They ask but it seems they were hiding the info or they did not know.

That was when they came across two people sitting and talking.

"Mira babe, our little princess is alright with DRAC."

Before the blue skin redhead could say much less think, they were stopped by a large robot and what they could only believe a walking matchstick in a cape.

"Hello there babes name Scaramouche and this here is my partner Demongo. Have you seen a robot that goes by the name Nos-4-a2?"

Both heads shook no but were eyeing them suspiciously.

"Nos? Haven't seen him or heard about him. Any reasons why?" The pale blue male asked.

"Oh don't worry your pretty little heads babes. You see we got a message for him and it's really urgent."

The female raised a brow. "Well sorry but we got no idea."

"Please don't worry about that baby, we'll just leave you to yourselves. Have a… pleasant day." Scaramouche smirked as he and Demongo left.

"Warp we better warn Nos. They could be from Zurg."

"I already messaged him, he can handle them. Now lets enjoy our date."

Scaramouche and Demongo who overheard them smirk.

"Wanna use them as bait?" Scaramouche asked.

"No."

"What? Why? Too easy?"

Demongo smirk as he holds up a visual of two small robots and another bit bigger. "I have a better idea…."

/

"Ok you two, two more minutes and we'll be heading out." XR said as his twins were on the swings laughing.

"Higher mommy! higher!" The small pale silver blue little girl with dark and light red hair named Mor-tica, screamed out.

"Not too high!" XR smiled as he sees his brother in law, ALD-07 swinging with Nox, being careful. He and Nos decided to make a small family day together without his brother XL causing any explosions. Nos was getting them ice cream while he and ALD were watching over the twins.

"I'm starting to get second thoughts demmy babe."

Demongo was watching them from afar and glares. "We will not harm them Scaramouche, we will just hold them as captives and make this Nos come with us."

"But look at those two kids. They're too adorable!" Scaramouche shouted. "Can't we just I don't know ask him?! Promise him nothing bad on his family just that he might get eliminated on how bad he might fail?"

Demongo glared but just as he was about to speak,

WHAM!

Demongo was hit with a vibranium ball and was pummeled to the ground.

"Ooh that's not good." Scaramouche went after to see if Demongo was alright.

"I'm terribly sorry!"

Scaramouche looked to his right and saw a pale yellow tone little robot wearing a white dress short sleeved and black shorts reaching to his knees, shaking in fear.

"Well aren't you a adorable little kid and no problemo kid, demmy babe has gotten worse hits right babe?"

Demongo raised his hand to give him a thumbs up but he felt he got hit by a wrecking ball.

"Nox! Don't run off like that!"

Scaramouche looks to see a white robot with a floating head in a glass dome treading to him with the little girl behind.

"Sorry mommy but I accidentally kicked the ball to this person when it came to me."

XR sees the weird looking matchstick person with skulls on his body on the ground.

"Sorry about that, my kid has a pretty good kick like his dad, not so great in coordination like me."

"Don't worry about it. Say…. You wouldn't happen to know a robot babe by the name Nos-4-a2? Ringing any bells?"

That was when Scaramouche saw the strained look on the golden floating head features and knew right at that moment he knew.

"Hey kids go to your uncle ALD, I'll be there in a moment."

Both twins looked to him and then to the robot and the other but ran off to their playful smile became a sinister smirk as Demongo raises up with a mirror smirk.

"Alright little bot, listen and listen good. We want-blast!" Scaramouche was blasted across and Demongo glares at the robot but froze to see numerous blasters in front of him.

"No you better listen to me. Whatever it is you want from Nos, it ain't gonna happen! Nos isn't leaving with you two!" XR glares at them.

Demongo smirks and pulls out a skull and threw it to XR who dodged it.

"Wow that was awful." But XR froze to see a weird looking warrior running to attack him but XR was able to blast at him but was shocked to see him standing.

"You see, my minions are of pure essence, meaning they cannot be defeated so easily." XR was about to shoot when the demon wrapped its cape around him, enveloping him within it into his body.

"Mommy!"

Both look to the little robots crying and saw a red glowing screen robot.

"Get the children but do not harm them. They and their parent are to be kept as bait. Get rid of the silver robot."

Before the warrior could raise his weapon, the silver robot jumped and roars gripping the minion. Demongo assumed he was trying to grip him to death but was shocked to see the minion was dissipating and soon became nothing leaving a hollow skull.

"What in Aku is this?!"

"Essence in term is energy. I am a special case, something a matchstick that is inferior and little brilliance."

Demongo growls and through rage, releases all the minions. "Let us see how well you do alone."

ALD growls. 'I cannot take all the energy like Nos.'

Just when he was ready to attack, half of the minions froze and were gone, leaving empty skulls.

"What have you done to my mate?!" Demongo turns only to be kicked in the face by the robot they were looking for. Demongo got up only he was now struggling to stand, realizing this robot was more than a mere typical run of the mill.

This robot was absorbing his power.

He was now a prey to this predator.

ALD seeing a chance, concentrate on all the energies and absorbed it all.

"I feel refreshed." ALD commented as he dodges the dagger aimed at him.

"Didn't forget me now did ya? Fiddly Fiddly Dee dee book~" ALD turned to see the dagger floating straight toward him and bend backwards from the dagger.

Scaramouche grabs it and smirks. "Quite a flexible robot. Any chance we can swing and ding?"

"I prefer females," ALD speed dashed and air kicked the scatbot across only to grab his waist and flip him over and pummeled his head into the ground. "Secondly you're not my type. You seem to be overbearing and clingy." ALD looked to see Nos and Demongo were fighting and saw both were relentless to stop.

"What does Mastah see in you?! You are nothing but bolts and screws!" Demongo threw fireballs at him as Nos deflected them.

"If you are talking about Zurg than I could careless about his opinion! I want my mate back and you and your robot out of here!" Nos roars gripping Demongo and threw him against the wall.

"Where is my mate!?"

Demongo was already getting tired out and saw he had no other choices. He stands up and conjures out the little robot and gripped his head.

"Come with us or your little mate's head will be crushed. Of does being melted is your taste?"

Nos growls but seeing he has no choice raises his hands up and growls.

ALD was ready to attack when he was kicked down and forced to the ground by Scaramouche.

"Tell me babe, ever been in this predicament?"

ALD growls and suddenly hears a tune and saw his hands were bury into the ground.

"Not that I mind being touched but I can't have you be taking my energy babe. I'm gonna need it but maybe next time." Scaramouche seeing the silver tone robot in the ground, he walks past him and grabs a hold of Nos's arms. "Now you're a real treat babe! Nice bod you got there."

Nos kept quiet but saw the fire head demon growling and looks to his mate who had the same idea, nodded.

Nos strain his features to form a smirk. "Quite the hands you got, I can tell you have done this many times." Nos growls.

Scaramouche swore and will deny he was blushing. 'Damn this is one sexy bot. Not to mention I dig his accent.'

"Well can't say I'm not into this kink. You know Nos-4 babe, you got a nice voice. Ever gotten it higher? I bet I can get it there."

Demongo growls as he sees Scaramouche was flirting around with their captured robot.

"Perhaps, perhaps not. Do you want it any higher?" Nos purred.

Scaramouche knew he was blushing.

Unknown to the assassins, XR was giving his kids the hand signals to hide and cover their receptors so they ran into the hollow oak tree.

ALD seeing this groan.

'There goes my hearing..'

XR gave a thumbs up and Nos concentrate all his audio to rise, screeched so high in volume Scaramouche was immobilized and Demongo screeched in pain, dropping XR.

XR being his mate, was immune to the sound so he was able to get away from Demongo and places the arm cuffs, turning off all abilities and powers of Demongo.

Nos gripped Scaramouche and threw him to Demongo and both were on the ground, both defenseless and paralyzed.

"Nice set of lungs but you didn't think of this! Beep beep dee deeeee~" Scaramouche scat but nothing.

"What the- WHAT DID YOUR SCREECH DO!"

Nos smirks and lays a claw hand on his side. "I am an energy vampire. All machines no matter what or where they are from, bends to my will."

"This cannot be!" Demongo growls trying to move but could not.

"Can so!" XR taunted.

"Mommy!"

XR was taken down by their kids who were running towards them, crying.

"Hey it's ok. The mean guys are down." XR held them close.

Nos, ready to be hugged by his children, saw them cross their arms.

"Papa how could you flirt in front of mommy?!" Mor glared.

Nox although quiet was mad.

If there were two things Nos was hurt easily, it was the disappointment in his children's eyes and the silent treatment.

"Please my little bats, I only did that to only gain an advantage on them to save your mommy. I did not enjoy it at all."

"And what a way to do it!" Scaramouche grinned but shut after hearing Demongo growls.

"Mommy is that true?" Mor asked.

"Yes, your father and I agree on it together in order to beat them so don't get mad at your papa. Besides he doesn't have any interest at him... Right?" XR glared.

"Love you know I only have my sight only on you. Not to mention I prefer you to do such on me." Nos purred.

"So... Is there any chance we can get to know each other better?" Scaramouche grinned. "I can be-mmmph!?" Scaramouche couldn't talk after his mouth being tape up by XR.

"No way to talk with kids here and Nos is my mate! I don't share him at all!" XR crosses his arms.

Nos grabs the demon and lifts him up.

"Why did Zurg send you?!" Nos then growls deeply.

Demongo knew the limits to this robot but seeing up close and personal, he was fearing the worst.

"If he is after Nox, I will send you both back to him in pieces." Nos growls dangerously.

"We do not serve such low level villain. We are from a different dimension. My mastah wishes to see you. He has seen such power and sees you perfectly suited to destroy his enemy, the Samurai. His enemy who wishes to undo all that is of Aku's evil empire."

Nos growls with animosity to Demongo. "My villainy days are over, I work for no villain much less the devil himself."

"If you don't come, he will destroy all that you love! We can help each other out!"

Nos looks to his mate and children and drops the demon. "You have five minutes to explain to me." Nos spoke.

Demongo looks up and glares.

"My Mastah, has seen your abilities and believed you can destroy the Samurai. If you help destroy the hero, my Mastah, will pay you handsomely and will not eradicate your family."

"Do you take me for a fool?"

Demongo widened when he saw the energy vampire claws extended a bit.

"I know how these deals go. I know I will be cheated out especially if this so called Aku even dares to harm my family." Nos wanted to destroy him but for a moment he saw himself and sighed. "What makes you believe he will do after he gets what he wants? Let you two live? The minute he sees that you two were out beaten, he would eradicate you. I am even certain you two are no longer his top minions!"

Demongo glared. "Lies! You speak lies! I cannot be destroyed! I am immortal and he will not erase me!"

"He will make your torture painful. He will make you regret ever existing. And what about your partner." Nos growls, the claws shrunk back. "Are you not concerned over his well being? Does he mean little to you?"

Demongo froze and look to Scaramouche. Yes they fought to be Aku's favorite. To be the number one. Whether the Demon admit it or not, he loves Scaramouche. 'I cannot lose my robot.'

"If this Aku is any similar to my creator Zurg, he will care less about you and destroy you." Nos spat out. "Why serve someone who will only toss you away?" Nos asked.

"Why do you care for us?" Demongo stated. "Not long ago we were fighting."

"Because I was like you." Nos spoke. "I see myself in you before I changed."

Demongo froze and looked to Nos. "Yes we are different and we have different abilities but we are alike you and I. I want to help you before you lose yourself to the depth of your demise. Just as I have before." Nos spoke.

Demongo was conflicted but seeing he has no choice, he looks to the energy vampire.

"For now Nos-4-a2." Demongo glares.

"My full name is Nos-X-4-a2 but since we are going to be acquainted, you may call me Nos." The energy vampire spoke as he formed his lower form to legs to kneel before his children and holds them.

"I'm sorry papa." Mor spoke softly hugging her papa

"I am sorry too." Nox spoke, hugging his father.

"It is alright, I know I too would be angry." Nos spoke.

Demongo was watching the scene play and he couldn't help but wonder how someone such as the robot gain such luck.

"How long until we can move?" Demongo asked.

XR crosses his arms, "The thing is…. Nos uses that ability because we honestly don't know. I mean your partner maybe in 6 hrs."

Scaramouche growled as Demongo sighed.

'This is going to be troublesome…'
