(Occuring on that same night after the twins' battle with Cell-3 and the acquisition of their safehouse, 3 bounty hunters have attempted to capture or kill Vexas, Ronin, and Dr. Titan, and it all fails awfully as 2 of them get knocked to the ground.)
*Hunter 1, a male, appearing in a dark brown and blue mask covering his mouth and nose, only revealing his short brown hair and gray eye. He wears a brown and teal bodysuit with a brown jacket right over. He lowers his mask to reveal his nose and mouth, and spits out blood, tinted by a light blue.*
Hunter 1: No....*painful groan* You're not getting away....you can't get away forever. You're time....is coming.
*Vexas walks up to the injured Hunter, shaking her revolver lightly.*
Vexas: Well frankly there, and unfortunately for you, your time is up first.
*She aims the revolver at the hunter's head and pulls the trigger, the revolver glows blue from within before the bullet pierces the hunter's head, killing him.*
*The female hunter appears as a Caucasian with messy, light red hair and green eyes, wearing a skin-tight, red, white, and light blue bodysuit. She gasps in horror watching her teammate bounty hunter get literally executed, crawling back in response, but is stopped by Dr. Titan, pointing a metallic bo staff up to her chin, causing her to whimper.*
Dr. Titan: Nah-uh-uh-uh. No running for you. *takes the bo staff off her chin and releases a blade from inside it, pointing it to her eyes* Such pretty green eyes you have here. You'd make a great experiment.
*The female hunter is suddenly shot dead by Vexas, who seems to be already tired of Dr. Titan's creepiness.*
Vexas: The hell are you wasting your time on her for, Titan?! We got other shit that needs to be done.
Dr. Titan: Conducting mad experiments is my specialty, Miss Vexas.
*The 3rd and last hunter; a pure Terranovian male, appearing in medium black hair with golden streaks, a red visor, and his outfit consists of a cropped, black and red jacket over a tucked-in white shirt, blue jeans with red, glowing dots, and medium, brown boots. He runs off as fast as his wounded body can take, but it's not fast enough as Ronin jumps in front of him, spins around, and slashes his stomach open, blood flows profusely to the ground as the last hunter has been taken out.*
Ronin: Final hunter eliminated.
Vexas: *putting away her revolver* He slipped right past us. Oh well, let's report back to Terranova. See what else he has for us...whatever he pulls out his divine ass we unfortunately have to consume. *disappointed sigh*
*As the 3 depart the scene, another bounty hunter is watching them from atop of a building. He's an Otopican Caucasian human male, appearing to be in his mid 20s, with short brown hair passing his forehead by a small margin, and brown eyes. He is Pyrus. He wears a brown leather jacket with black and gray patches with the acronym: "FoO". Cerulean blue pants, and small, thick, dark brown boots. Extra accessories are silver armor pads on his shoulders, chest, and knees with a teal blue glow. The man is quite armed, with twin plasma blasters on his hips, an energy sword and a hybrid sniper/assault rifle on his back.*
Pyrus: *to himself* So I've see you got some allies with you, Vexas. Caught you now, you won't escape forever.

_____________________________________
(Next morning, a blue-tinted silver sky shines down on the planet. The twins casually stroll around the neighboring safehouses, and if they were to travel around 100 meters down, they would've entered one of Sakrisen's cities. As the 2 stroll, a voice calling out to them: "Hey!". Looking up, they see Cathera, looking down from the balcony.)
Cathera: Up here.
Saitonia: I...nearly could not hear an utter.
Cathera: I'm pretty sure you can just use your excessive, enhanced jumping height to get up here.
Ainotias: "Excessive"?
Saitonia: "Enhanced"? Let's just...jump up there, sister.
*Simultaneously, the twins leap up about 15 feet onto the balcony with ease. Cat slides the blue, glass door open and welcomes the twins into the safehouse. Upon arrival, they're met with more of Cat's friends or allies, most are from Otopica.*
Saitonia: So, you have wizardry, a cat-like being, a man with purple skin, a walking machine, and a human.
Cathera: *light giggle* I'll start with an introduction. The wizard is Warlock Holmes.
*Warlock gives off the illusion that he's a human. He has black hair and deep gray eyes. A deep, purple trenchcoat over black slacks and dark brown dress boots. He also wears a black wizard/deerstalker fusion hat. Introducing himself in a low, suave voice: "Salutations there newcomers. Want to see an illusion?"
Ainotias: "Illusion"?
Cathera: A deceiving, or tricking sight/perception.
Ainotias: We have most likely seen enough of "illusions".
Saitonia: Illusions of a life-type called a "Utopia".
Cathera: The cat-like being is Bopsheezi, or Bop Tenebrae.
*Bop appears in dark leather armor with a helmet covering his ears and tail, alongside an orange scarf. He has cat-like, bright green eyes, light skin, and his messy, light brown hair can be seen from the helmet.*
Bop: *energetically* You can call me Bop!
Ainotias: So it'd be, "Bop".
Cathera: The walking machine is an android. A few types of androids, but that's not really important for now. His name is Toaster, and well, he can transform into one. They do look so different from the toasters on this planet.
*Toaster appears as a Caucasian male with a semi robotic face, with a black, yellow, and white helmet over a robotic, armor-like body. He waves at the twins before shifting into a large toaster for 6 seconds before returning back to his normal form, holding 2 pieces of bread.*
Toaster: Wow. These are extra burnt.
Cathera: The purple man is Rezyl.
*Rezyl appears to be a man composed from a mysterious void. Quite tall, glowing, dark purple skin, short black hair, and golden eyes, and wears some type of black and gold gear made of dragon skin. He lowly greets the twins: "Hey." before turning his eyes back directly in front of him, standing nearly still.*
Cathera: And the human is my closest friend; Kavita. Despite being a normal human being, she was born here on Terranoviatia.
*Kavita is an Asian female, specifically Japanese. Medium, silky, black scene hair with purple streaks and a long bang slightly passing her chin and covering her right eye, revealing a pinkish purple left eye. She has a simplistic cyberpunk sense of fashion, which is a trend on Terranoviatia, mostly on Saitranovia. Kav wears an unzipped black leather jacket with purple glowing lines layered over an untucked black shirt with a Terranovian skull, in which their skulls are metallic silver with dark blue glowing tints, have a more oval face shape, and the eye sockets are more slanted, close to a diamond shape. Kav also wears slim, black leather pants with faded, gray patches, and medium, black combat boots with a purple glow.*
Kavita: *relaxed, slouched back on the couch* Heyyy you 2.
*The twins wave at Kav.*
Cathera: She's also quite a biker chick. Don't know if you know, but like...riding motorcycles. The small, 2-wheeled vehicles with the little handlebars you see.
Saitonia: Oh. Those are "motorcycles".
Kavita: *getting up from the couch* Hey Cat, I remember you told me yesterday about some twins from a thousand years ago, and I see they're here. Why not we take your 2 new friends and show them around Saitranovia? Well not the entirety, cause that'll take days or even weeks, just like the local area, the town and the plaza.
Cathera: Why not? Gotta give them a special introduction to modern-day Saitranovia.
Kavita: Well, what are we waiting for? *to the Otopicans* Guys, keep the safehouse unharmed, *to the twins and Cat* and let's gooo!
*Kav lightly taps Cat's butt as the 2 and the twins exit out the front door.*
__________________
(The twins, Cat, and Kav begin their stroll throughout their local Sakrisen city.)
Kavita: There's been a crap ton of history made exceeding your time, even within this city alone.
*Kav points to a fairly sizable museum a few blocks down to their left. The museum has a futuristic exterior, bearing the colors of gray, light blue, and purple, with 2, glossy purple statues of ancient-looking warriors armed with greatswords, parallel to each other.*
Kavita: That is the Museum of Saitranova. I'm sure you're familiar with her.
Saitonia: Yes. A divine Erazeska...eraser. However, there is word coming around us that she created the ability to erase. That is not true, and it is because of Terranova "twisting" the timeline.
Kavita: You do know some stuff.
Saitonia: I am "grasping" this modern English. Was that good?
Cathera: Yes, but that kind of overly formal dialect is mostly outdated. You're more likely to hear someone speak like that in Antevoux.
Kavita: Ugh, there goes that pet shop over there.
*Slowly approaching this massive pet shop, big enough to contain creatures reaching to 50 feet in height. The 4 look through the mint green glass to see their owner conversing with a unit of an armored man.*
Kavita: Twins, why I seem annoyed is because you always hear these loud-ass roars and growls, and well, I don't know how people can bear it.
________________
(The 4 enter the pet shop and they can get a close-up look on the 2. The owner is a young Caucasian female with bright green eyes and a pink, oversized, spiky, pineapple ponytail hairstyle. She wears a short-sleeved, cropped pink jacket, skin-tight, sleeveless light blue shirt over baggy brown shorts, and thick silver boots with a blue glow. These boots can also help her run faster and jump higher than usual.)
Saitonia: Who is that?
Cathera: Her name is Sky, and the insanely tall man in the heavy black armor is Cmirg.
Sky: *to Cmirg in a rapid and energetic manner* I think you would really like this robotic bitch that can breathe fire! *holding a small, robotic dog, firing flames out its mouth as it yawns before being put behind the counter* It'd make a lovely companion.
Cmirg: *hollow, echoey voice* I understand, Sky. Vast bizarre companions to join me in my quests. I'll consider it, but only if the FoO will allow pets.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Sky: I can give it to you for free, dude. Though I do hope you can enhance these boots to make me even faster. How nebula just shoots out my boots when I jump is just so amaaaazzziiinngg!
Kavita: *calling out* Cmirg!
Cmirg: *turns behind him and sees the 4* Hello...
*Sky then says: "There's even-" before getting cut off as she's frozen in time by Cmirg.*
Cmirg: She never stops talking. And speaking of companions, you seem to have brought along 2 new ones.
Cathera: Despite being different races, they're actually twins, not lookalikes.
Saitonia: Saitonia.
Ainotias: Ainotias.
Cmirg: I'm Cmirg. *to Cat* I mistaken them to be twin sisters.
Saitonia: That is funny, giant, "armored" cloud man.
Cathera: We were showing the 2 around. They're not from this time. Terranova sent them from the 1000s to here.
Cmirg: *unfreezes Sky* Seems like an anomaly. And that tyrant hasn't been killed yet? There are several that are on a universal level of power, but they haven't put an end to him?How protected is he?
Saitonia: *tone shifting into more serious* When me and Ainotias get to him, he will not be so "protected". He slain our parents, we will eradicate him.
Cmirg: Wow...I can be your assistance if you need any, but unfortunately, not at this time.
Kavita: It's all good, Cmirg. We have to continue showing these 2 around.
*Kav waves bye to Sky and Cmirg as she exits the pet shop alongside the twins and Cat.*
________________
(Back outside, the stroll continues.)
Kavita: There's also the plaza and the park. The plaza is a very popular attraction, especially amongst tourists, usually Spektrovatian tourists. There was supposed to be a statue of Avionia in the middle of the plaza, but it mysteriously vanished.
Cathera: Yeah. Speculations are that it's due to a "Universal Shift", caused by warps in the timeline.
*Deeper into the city, they spot paparazzi following a decently tall lady in mostly black and red, taking pictures and video of her. She's also guarded by private security who are also wearing outfits that are mostly red.*
Saitonia: She must be well-known.
Cathera: That's Emeliss Rose. Kav and I have some history with her. She's not even legitimate enough to be an A-tier. Barely any major movies and a lot of lesser movies she starred in. She's mostly somewhat popular here in Sakrisen, the other 3 sub-stricts? Only a few.
Kavita: She's like every pompous ass hot girl with a rich family. She has a major following mostly because she's eye candy with seduction and sass, but her personality? Fake,snobby little bitch.
Ainotias: She is really that bad? I assume you are making wild judgments.
Cathera: Hehe, Kav, there are plenty of celebrities that look and act like you.
Kavita: *quick chuckle* Cat I know. The celebrities I'm fans of aren't egotistical, posh bitches or have a history of drama and scandals. That was the last time we've encountered. Hopefully the snob matured in some way. Maybe I can kick some maturity in her.
Cathera: Whoa, Kav!
*The 4 walk into a alleyway with a big parking lot, following a crowd of strangers and paparazzi following Rose. As the 4 get closer, they can see Rose in all glory; a Caucasian-Terranovian with rosy red eyes and long, shiny, wavy, natural red hair. Red and black eyeliner and red lipstick, both with a glossy white underglow. She wears a red leather jacket over a tank top that is red at the top half, and black on the lower half. Red, tight leather pants and long black boots nearly reaching her knees, glowing red at her heel.*
Ainotias: The woman has that "celebrity" energy.
Kavita: I guess you're trying to say she has that celebrity aura to her. I guess...
Paparazzo: *suddenly approaching Rose, nearly shoving a dark blue compact camera in her face* Rose! Rose! What's the next movie you'll be in?!
*Another paparazzo comes in and asks: "How much of an impact do you think Sakrispice has had in the modeling industry?"*
Rose: *a posh, sultry voice* I don't know what my next film will be, I'm just waiting for a private message from any movie director. And as for Sakrispice? It's gaining recognition up in Paladuras.
*She continues to walk as security, paparazzi, and a decent crowd of fans follow. Within 4 seconds, Rose spots the 4, suddenly stopping.*
Rose: *to Kav* Ohhhh, Edgy Sazeraki. How's the emo phase going?
Saitonia: What this "edgy" means, it sounds like you, sister.
Ainotias: Silence that foolery, brother.
Kavita: Egotistical Emeliss. I am great, and I prefer cyberpunk.
*Rose places the back of her hand under her chin as she laughs loudly. As she stops laughing, she looks behind Kav and spots the twins and Cat.*
Rose: Sweet little Cathera and 2 new friends. Kav, I would've thought you'd shut your "friends" away.
Kavita: Nope. And it looks like you've surrounded yourself with more "mind-sores" than last time. Ain't it annoying having these fuckos with cameras invading your space all the time?
Rose: Most of the time, so I ensure strict precautions that puts them on their best behavior. Ohhh, wait, you came to duel me again, haven't you?
Kavita: Maybe. Then when I win, I'll kick the shit out of your paparazzi.
Rose: Even if you lose, I'll kick them myself.
*The paparazzi look at each other in confusion and fear, as if Rose would actually do it.*
Rose: We're not sworn enemies or anything, but our duels were quite tense back in uni, but I think we're at match point. *leaning in and whispering in Kav's left ear* And I will be claiming this win. Security, paparazzi, step back. Come on, step back, you'll love my combat prowess.
Kavita: Bring it, Emeliss!
*Security, paparazzi, who are filming and taking photos of the upcoming duel with their cameras, and the crowd too create enough space for Kav and Rose to duel. Cat facepalms as the twins intriguingly watch on.*
Paparazzo: Is that punk girl like an old frenemy of Rose's?
Paparazzo 2: It appears to be. Rose is definitely winning. With a high-class background like hers, she's bound to have been taught by the most elite.
Cathera: *stressed sigh before opening her eyes* Twins, I'll have you know that Kav is most of the time, very quick to fight, even when it's unnecessary.
Ainotias: I "guess" Kav needs "taming", or pacified. Sai, who do you think will win?
Saitonia: I am unsure.
Kavita: This will be a fun fight.
*She says: "Razor Edge Glow" in Japanese as a sleek, black and silver blade with a glossy gray and blue hilt, and neon purple glow is summoned in her hands.*
Rose: And this will be easy, even if I haven't refurbished my Lisaria.
*Rose pulls out a glossy silver and pink sword hilt with a small red dagger on one side, then presses a button that releases a glossy fencing blade with small dull specks around it. This "Lisaria" is her signature fencing sword.*
Kavita: Getting ahead of yourself already, Rose. Quite the ego.
*Rose chuckles quite dismissively.*
Cathera: At least try not to kill each other.
Saitonia: I honestly don't think it'll come to that point, Cathera.
______________________
[FIGHT SEQUENCE]
*Kav rushes towards Rose, ready to strike. She strikes with her blade but Rose blocks the attack with her sword and takes a side step as Kav rolls past her and they both reposition themselves.*
Rose: Oh, that same move you tried to get me with at every start, but it still failed. Haven't you picked up what insanity is?
*Kav rushes again, Rose blocks again but they both end up at a struggle. Kav breaks the struggle and leaps up and launches a kick towards Rose's chest, but Rose blocks it in the knick of time but still gets pushed back. Kav repositions herself by backflipping back a few feet. They run towards each other and get into a typical sword duel until they're at another struggle. Rose breaks it, twirls around, and slices Kav in her chest a small bit.*
Kavita: *notices the tiny wound on her chest, unfazed* Argh, you sneaky little bitch!
Rose: *a bit shocked* Oh! Damn my bad. Was getting a little too into this duel.
Kavita: That's the good part. Let's not spill too much blood.
*Kav jumps towards Rose and performs a downward slice with both of her hands on the hilt of the blade, but it gets caught. Kav then jumps down and sweeps both of Rose's legs, losing her balance, and gets kicked back a few feet, going down. Kav runs towards the downed Rose and goes for an attack, but Rose reacts quick enough to catch the attack, kicks Kav upward, and jumps up to her. They now get into another sword duel in mid air until another quick struggle broken fast as Rose kicks Kav down, making her crash into a pile of random objects. Rose gets back down onto the ground and Kav quickly recovers. They get into another duel until it gets broken as Kav kicks Rose in the stomach, spin kicks with her other leg, and punches her in her face. Rose falls and kneels down from the punch.*
Ainotias: Okay okay. *to Cat* I see your friend has some "skill".
Cathera: Kav's quite blaze-faced often but that doesn't cloud her expertise in combat.
*Rose gets back to her feet and goes for a punch, but it gets caught. Kav throws out a combination of martial art punches and kicks all evaded by Rose. Kav then goes for a side kick but Rose catches her leg, kicks the back of her thigh, punches her gut, knees her in stomach, spins around and bashes her with her forearm, stunning Kav for a few seconds, the crowd reacts in astonishment.*
Paparazzo: OOH.
Saitonia: Oh....
Ainotias: Whoa...
*There's some blood on the left side of Kav's nose and lip from the attack. She struggles to lift her body up, still slightly stunned by that attack.*
Rose: You said: "Not too much blood." Right?
Kavita: Tch...yeah. This...is getting exciting.
Rose: Excitement from bleeding? You really are edgy. *pulls Kav up by her hair, seating her* As exciting as this duel is, at this point sweetie, I think you should succumb. Time is scarce, and I don't want to impress my paparazzi too much.
*At lightning speed, Kav recovers by propping her hands on the ground as a jump boost, springs up and kicks Rose's arm where she was grabbing her hair, lands a straight punch to her gut, jumps and knees her in the chin, and lets out a barrage of kicks to a flying kick that sends back and knocks Rose down, forming faintly glowing bruises and bleeding from her lip. Kav runs towards her to end it but Rose recovers and pulls out her sword. Kav also pulls out her blade and they both swing. Weapons end up clashing for 9 seconds before causing a massive shockwave, sending both Kav and Rose back, and forming huge layers of smoke around the area. Spectators cover their eyes.*
___________________
[FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER]
Paparazzo: Who won?
Paparazzo 2: I hope Rose won.
Cathera: Is it over?
Ainotias: A victor emerge?
*Kav and Rose are kneeled, showing that the duel ended intentionally quick as a draw with little to almost no injuries, just tiny cuts and bruises that feel like nothing.*
Rose: *sheathing her Lisaria* Draw.
Kavita: *confused and also disappointed* A what? Draw? I totally had you nearing the end.
Rose: *standing up* You've put up a better fight than before, Kav.
Kavita: Ummmm, thanks?
Rose: You probably can't stand my background or my personality or something, and that's fine.
Kavita: Wow. Uhhh, I guess you aren't as fake and snobby as you used to be. *stands up* The hell happened?
Rose: *snickers, then puts her hand on Kav's left shoulder* I guess I became a bit more modest. I'll be catching you, Cat, and the others soon.
*Rose turns around and walks to a techy, matte red limousine as security and paparazzi follows. Security guides her inside and also enter themselves while paparazzi and the random crowd diverts. Kav approaches the twins and Cat.*
Saitonia: Is Cathera here skilled in battle?
Cathera: *reluctantly* Ehhhhh..
Kavita: Can't let Cathera here deceive you. We sparred once and she kicked my ass effortlessly. Power scaling is a major advantage.
*Mysterious clapping is heard from behind them. The 4 turn as they are met with a Caucasian, Otopican male known simply as Ring. Short, dark brown hair in a side fringe, and brown eyes. He wears a brown duster coat over dark blue slacks and short, lightweight brown boots. Strapped to his coat are a modified .44 revolver and a longsword.*
Kavita: Well look at this all the way from Otopica; it's Ring. Didn't expect to see you here.
Ring: *stops clapping* That was a nice fight you had there with Emeliss Rose, despite being a tie. You 2 do got history right?
Kavita: *scoffs* Yep. She's cooled off now.
Ring: We have an update on Terranova and his little servants. *shifting his eyes to the twins, who look back at him alerted when Terranova was mentioned* Some new faces. There's no problem with you 2 tagging along.
Cathera: Oh Ring, I'd like to introduce you to the twins. Saitonia is the eraser, and Ainotias is the obliterator.
Ring: A bit odd, or extremely rare possibly, for Arckyvine twins to be different races. One of your parents is a Spektral?
Saitonia: No. Both were erasers and they were slain by the divine you said the name of. If it.....*pauses due to not knowing the specific word*
Cathera: "Include" or "involve".
Saitonia: If it "involves" Terranova, we need to know. We need to end that...that...*pausing again to think of another specific word*
Cathera: "Tyrant"? "Dictator"? "Totalitarian"?
Saitonia: We need to end that tyrant.
Ring: Hmp..I see this is personal for you 2. I like your ambition. Let's head to the Golden Bar and Pub to debrief.
