(After the twins and their allies' battle with Ems, Liam, and a few random crooks, they've came across the domestic, esoteric, crime-fighting organization known as the Saitranovia Syndicate, who congratulate the group on their intrepid effort fighting off thugs, rewarding them with a visit to the general of the S.S.)
*The General turns around to face the group. His appearance is a Caucasian/white and half Terranovian with green eyes and slicked-back, medium black hair with natural gray streaks. He bears a slight old look due to an earthling parent, while still having that well-aged appearance of a pure Terranovian. He wears a black and blue army visor hat with "S.S General" on the front. Medium, black and blue carbon jacket over a tucked-in, black dress shirt, straight black slacks and short, black boots with a dull, light blue glow.*
General: *slight gruff voice* Alpha General Kain Vargis, at your service.
Saitonia: Hello, General.
Ainotias: I hear you are much renowned in Saitranovia.
General: Damn straight. We used to work in the shadows until about 6 years ago. It put us on the map heavily. *leaning back in his chair* As of now, I don't give a damn about the publicity, miss her to this day. Left a nasty scar on the S.S. after the death of her.
Ainotias: Who?
General: Atiada Riuvera. An elite member of ours, once-in-a-lifetime. Died at the hand of that samurai or shogun bastard. When we find him and his little gang, I'll take his swords, break them on his back, and shove it down his throat.
*The twins turn to each other, shocked, while not exactly understanding the General's threat word-for-word, but feeling the seriousness and severity of that said threat.*
Cathera: Oh, payback. Payback will be a bi-
Kavita: *unintentionally cutting Cat off* General, you do tell stories on her alot, and I don't blame you. She was such a badass. My best memory of her is when she took down 4...I think Scale-4 or Scale-5 criminals with such skill and creativity.
*The group and the General hears yelling coming from outside the room.*
___________________________
*Cliche-ass opening theme plays*
___________________________
*Pyrus, Bop, Rezyl, and Driz take a peek outside the office, witnessing a swarm of S.S. members rushing in, with one of them holding a severely injured member, with a disgusting open wound on the right side of his chest, the members' blood creating a small trail as it gushes out of the wound. A random female S.S. member enters the office to notify the General.*
S.S. Member: General, Kinto has been hit by someone with a sniper.
General: Argh, get him to the medics. Quick now.
*3 unique members, supposedly the General's lieutenants, walk in.*
Lieutenant 1: *taller female member* General, we believe Clockshot has struck us.
General: You sure? I couldn't get a good look, but you're sure it's specifically Clockshot and not anyone else carrying a sniper?
Lieutenant 1: For sure. Kinto's wound looks mangled, and from previous reports on Clockshot, the bullets from his sniper release a toxic purple gas that can cause disfigurement.
General: Hmp. I'll take your word, Ashe. *to the twins* Oh, twins, I'll introduce you to some of the syndicate. *pointing to the 3, from left to right* These 3 here are my top-ranked members; the Delta Trio; Ashe Sayalka, Tony Licenzi, and Erien Yaoni.
*Starting with Ashe, she's a Caucasian/white-Terranovian with a very unfriendly facial expression. Green-undertoned skin, blue eyes, and black and brown long hair with a mini ponytail. Due to being a lieutenant to the general, her S.S. outfit is unique, though it's closer to the standard. A black carbon fiber jacket with 2 blue lines, and the S.S. logo on the right side of the chest. Under the jacket is a half tucked-in, black spandex shirt with the same, blue parallel lines. Gray pants, and long black boots with parallel, glowing blue lines.*
Ashe: *looking at the twins with a very dirty expression, invoked with the feeling of suspicion* Uhhhh, General, who the hell are these outsiders and why are they here with us?
Kavita: You'd have to be more specific when you refer to them as outsiders, Ashe.
*Next is Tony. He is Italian-Terranovian. Light caramel skin with an olive green undertone. Brown eyes, slicked-back black hair. His outfit consists of a black carbon fiber jacket with no lines, just the S.S. logo, zipped up, over a tucked-in blue shirt, and black pants with short black boots. Most notable feature is the glossy black trenchcoat with blue and white details.*
Tony: *to the twins* So these da guys, huh? *steps closer to the twins* You know, after dat war between you 2 and especially the sinking of my pa's forgery business, I just don't see anything well with you purple and red-eyed mofos. And with yous 2 teaming up, bound to be double the chaos.
Ainotias: "Pa"?
Tony: It's a way of saying father. You'd woulda turned out a bit decent if you had one present in your life, but anyway.
Ainotias: *infuriated* Excuse me, what, bitch?!
*Red energy lightly emits from Aino's left hand. Noticed by Sai, he quickly restrains Aino. Ashe slightly raises her S.S. assault rifle, while the 3rd of the Delta Trio; Yaoni, just watches.*
General: Goddammit, Licenzi. You have to watch your slick mouth sometimes.
Kavita: Whoa. Tony, that was absolutely fucked up of you to say. The twins here, are from a thousand years ago, where Terranova murdered their parents, and sent them to this timeline in hopes they'd suffer. Yeah, this predates the little 19-year race war erasers and obliterators had, so you're getting hostile towards the wrong ones.
Tony:....Well damn, my bad. Just don't do anything sneaky behind the General's back, capisce?
Saitonia: Yes. Nice to meet you too.
*Then there's Yaoni. She's Korean-Terranovian with very light skin with a light blue undertone. Light gray eyes and long, silky, dark blue hair. Her S.S. outfit consists of a gray jacket over an untucked black shirt with dark blue parallel lines, slim black pants, and short, black boots with gray at the sole area.*
Yaoni: Tony, that was really insensitive of you. An apology won't fix the horrible first impression.
Ashe: Just wanna remind you, twins; this is THE S.S. Alpha General here. Crossing him would be the most fatal mistake of your lives. You'd be delaying your inevitable demise, and he don't give a damn if you're some all-mighty, godly being. He'd subjugate you before you could count a millisecond, bringing upon the most unthinkable form of torment just before he puts a shotgun to your face and end your worthless life then and there. In short; Don't. Fuck. With the General.
*Sai appears to not have paid any attention to Ashe's praising over the General, while Aino looks unfazed.*
Ainotias: Ashe, correct? We understand now.
Yaoni: *to the twins* Hey. I'm Erien Yaoni. Don't mind the other 2, they tend to get hostile towards newcomers. I think it's a defense mechanism. As much as I wish they'd cool it, you won't know what kind of company you're inviting, so it's a good idea to stay wary.
Kavita: *whispering to the twins* Told you some of them are assholes.
General: Let's get to this Clockshot case. *presses a glowing blue button on his desk as random, holographic images show up* In case some of you don't know, Clocky here also has a feud with the Whitefang. We once pursued them, but we stopped once we found about Clock's rivalry with them. Some of us talked with that GB&P down there, and they're setting his bounty at 850,000 zepiks.
Ainotias: Is that a grand amount?
Saitonia: I believe it is a lot. The prices of other wanted crooks were 10,000 to 25,000 zepiks.
General: Hehe. To answer the obliterator's question, it's a lot for some things, not enough for most things. That's all I'll say.
Tony: *to the twins* Yeah, do good job, get good payment. *making money gesture with his hand* 850,000 or not, the shit is worth it.
General: There's other cases like that Widowing Woods Missing Girl and a file we created named "The Fated One".
Ainotias: What is this Fated One?
Yaoni: It's regarded as one of the most mysterious unsolved cases in not only Saitranovian, but Terranovian history as well. What's more unusual is that it doesn't involve a particular suspect or victim, but an unidentifiable person.
Ainotias: Details?
Yaoni: Oh, my. Okay okay, you'd think for it to be one of the most mysterious cases, that there'd be a lengthy prelude leading up to this event, leaving behind multiple leads, but there is none. So, it was 1991 in Hathenus, Sakrisen. Cameras have captured footage of a small battle between local eraser and obliterator gangs, but in the battle, an unknown woman, dressed in this hooded, black overcoat, ran between the crossfire, then seen running into a cavern, meeting an unknown fate. When some Sakrisen policemen chased after her, they were just led to this blue fluid splattered throughout the interior of the cavern, with absolutely no sign of the woman that ran in there. They couldn't confirm if that blue fluid was blood or not.
Ashe: What's even more perplexing is that nobody could identify the woman when the footage was reviewed, despite camera footage still being quite advanced, even 25 years back. Witnesses didn't even notice her running down that bunker--damn, I mean cavern. She was only noticed when the footage was replayed. There were no documented killers that hung around that cavern at that time, neither, making the case colder than it already is.
Tony: It's like a damn ghost just only appearing on tech, but in person, they ain't there.
Bop: The Cavern of Fates. Guaranteed that someone already dubbed the cavern that nickname.
Ashe: Genius name, furball. Yeah, no, it has been called that in the past actually. Not sorry.
Saitonia: We can help, General.
General: *with a smirk* That's the spirit. You got any communiscanners on you? Though we mostly call it communicators or just cators.
Saitonia: Communiscan- Sister, is that the electronic that Cathera used on that wanted crook? Marking the body...
Cathera: Yep. That's the communiscanner. *pulling out her cator as she watches Kav do the same* Well we do, General.
General: Well, lucky to have some spare communicators. *opens up a drawer and takes out 2 dark gray cators with light blue hexagonal patterns, handing them to the twins* Can't catch the evils of this world at 100% without them.
*The twins take the cators and nod at the General; a way of thanking him. The 2 then take a few seconds to locate the button to turn it on before eventually finding it right in the bottom middle, under the screen.*
Saitonia: They function well.
General: You're all dismissed. Oh and twins, get out there and rid the worst threats to Saitranovia, that includes Terranova.
Saitonia: *nods, then says lowly* We will.
*The group leaves the S.S. headquarters.*

(12 A.M., at the twins' safehouse, the 2 are cautiously messing around with the cator's functions, ensuring that they don't want to set anything irreversible off.)
Saitonia: We will have to get.. accli-....acclimated...to these functions.
Ainotias: We have seen Cathera use it, and a few others. There is surely more functions to these than we could comprehend. *sigh* How advanced today's technology is.
Saitonia: We'll see what tomorrow will bring, sister.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Ring: Cell, with the way Terranova is described, you think he might try to take over this planet?
Cell: Definitely. Seems like the kind of person to want to rule everything and everyone, spreading delusional narratives. Doesn't sound like Saitonia.
Ring: Yeah, I agree. Those twins have a hell of a heart; the willpower to take on a god. That's exceptionally rare.

(An afternoon back on Terranoviatia, with the twins, Cat, Kav, Pyrus, Kasaro, and Warlock, all in the living room, sitting on a couch. The group is formed in this circle, some are grinning, maybe due to a funny little conversation or something. Kav uses some sort of inhaler-like object, breathing out blue smoke.)
Kavita: *looking oblivious, slurring* My Arckyve, the fuck did I lace this shit with? Aaaghh anyway, wanna know what else was funny as shit? So one day, me and my girl Anna, we just cruising on our motorcycles right-
Pyrus: *accidentally interrupting Kav* Oh, Anna. The Russian-Terranovian, yeaaah.
Kavita: *still slurring* Ay don't fuuuuuuckin interrupt me when I'm telling stories here.
Warlock: *leaning close to Pyrus to ask him a question* She did say she laced that inhaler thing. What specifically?
Pyrus: I don't even know. I barely know any Terranovian drugs. But I can hypothesize, whatever she's on, has a similar effect to weed.
Kavita: *continuing her little funny story* -So we saw these 3 guys doing this dance choreography by the plaza. We saw the 3rd dude, who was the furtheeeessst, tripped from like one of the little props...and....*wheezes a little*
Ainotias: What?
Kavita: Bro went spinning like a fuckin torpedo. As he landed, he was like; "Ohhhhhhh shiiieeeett." *dies of laughter*
*The others either laugh, or just smirk in reaction to Kav's story. The twins just look at Kav, quite dumbfounded.*
Kavita: I also gotta say, the cyberpunky bad boys, they love a badass biker chick. It's a turn on when they see a woman on a neon steel stallius, releasing a glowing trail from behind, m'I right?
Kasaro: Yeeaahhh...*turning to the twins* I wouldn't know. I don't ride motorcycles.
Pyrus: *whispering to Warlock* Hey Warlock, she's really tripping out. Throw a spell on her.
Warlock: *whispers back* What kind of spell?
Pyrus: *sneaky laugh* Make her see 2 Catheras.
*Warlock summons his spell book, twirling purple energy from his finger before sneakily firing at Kav's eyes, putting her in a stasis for a second, causing the others to sort of become alert.*
Cathera: Kav, you good?
Kavita: *slurring less, but her vision has been disoriented* I ammmmmm...perfect, Cats. *seeing 2 Catheras* Why is there 2 of you. Doppelganger, much? On here, we call it reoplikata, right? Bad luck's a biiiiiitch.
Cathera: *sighs* Yep. Kav, you're so tripping.
Kavita: Can I liiike, see if you're reeeaal? Like, just feel your hyper realistic face?
Cathera: Go ahead.
*Kav walks over, leaning down to feel Cat's face, unknown to her, she walked towards the illusion, so in actuality, Kav is touching nothing.*
Kavita: Yeaaahhh, seems real enough. Maaayyybe like aaaaaaa, cloning technique.
Pyrus: Okay Warlock, you can cancel the spell.
*Warlock pulls the purple energy out from Kav's eyes, returning her back to normal, no slurring at all.*
Kavita: *absolutely confused on her surroundings* Ehhhh, Cat? Was I just...trying to...
Cathera: Kav, I'm over here.
*Kav turns to her left, seeing Cat seated on one of the couches. Kav then faceplants into the couch she was leaning towards, causing the room to erupt into laughter, including the twins, who both laugh lightly.*
________________
(Off the edge of southwest Sakrisen, lies an abandoned, eerie landmark known as Widowing Woods. It's trees have no glow, giving off a dull, gray with tints of black increasing the levels of darkness within the entire woods. In the middle of the woods, there is a tumbledown, decaying mansion that looks decades old, even for Terranovian standards. Inside the halls of the creepy mansion, a heavily-bloodied woman is crawling for her life from something....or someone.)
Victim: *hyperventilating* You've kept me here for nearly a year! Just......just let me go! Tch.....LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOO!
*The only thing making out of the person responsible for torturing the victim is the shadow of a woman with long, messy hair, and some long coat on, carrying a worn-out hatchet. The mysterious woman just groans. Footsteps are heard getting louder, revealing 2 brave, yet foolish police officers who have heard about the Widowing Woods Missing Girl case, and decide to go solve it themselves. The 2 officers aim their energy assault rifles at this mysterious woman.*
Police Officer: This case has been solved now, killer. Submit now!
*The mysterious woman says under her breath: "Karen's Rage", as she swiftly turns around, followed by an outline of blood energy, slashing up the officers in a split second, both dropping dead. The victim gasps in horror, tears stream down her face, knowing that there are no saviors and that this is her demise.*
Mysterious Woman: Wrath of Alyce...
*The victim unleashes blood-curdling, ear-shattering screams as the mysterious woman, known as Alyce, activates her ultimate attack. The screams abruptly and permanently end.*
Alyce: That...felt fun. She wasn't Erazeska, so Terranova wouldn't approve. Now...what new brave souls will come witness the wrath...of Alyce Synn. *glaring up, revealing her deep, red eyes*
___________________
*Terranova has traveled back to the year 1903, standing on a building that is tilted from the damage that he has caused throughout Sakrisen, looking down at the flames, debris, rubble, and hordes of bodies lying around, in which most are erasers.*
Terranova: That is the 17th year I've renewed Saitranovia. It shouldn't take too long, Kavilis.
*This "Kavilis" he's speaking to is a masked servant standing to Terranova's right. He's another obliterator, wearing a sleek, gunmetal gray mask with red glow and with a red, connecting tube on it's left side. Long, messy black hair with red streaks nearly touching his shoulders. Black, unzipped, sleeveless trenchcoat under an armored bodysuit of the same gunmetal gray, black, and red color schemes. Gloves and long, sleek boots of the same colors.*
Kavilis: What specific years do you want to do your little renewing in?
Terranova: There was that 19-year gang war from 1981 to 2000. More Erazeskas will be roaming around, therefore making the goal easier. Scorpion Karalis, come here!
*The flighted arthropod lands down by the 2.*
Terranova: You did marvelous delivering destruction. Now, onto another year.
*Terranova summons a red portal that absorbs the 3 as they are sent to another year to continue Terranova's renewal plan.*
__________________
(Next day, at the safehouse, with just Sai, Cat, Kav, Sakiro, Tenerus, and Junos.)
Cathera: Yeah, I don't think I have the emotional capacity to watch that movie again. Like how relatable it was actually had me sobbing.
Tenerus: You're talking about that movie?
Cathera: Yes. *covering her mouth, trying to contain her emotions* Like my Arckyve, even the thought of it just makes me wanna break down. *sigh* Control it, Cat.
Kavita: Can't blame you, Cat. I bawled like hell as well. Sorozorin is THAT director when you want a depressing film that'll wrangle your heart-cords and explode them.
Tenerus: Hehe, Kav, you're pretty edgy and emo, I'm sure you cry black tears.
Kavita: Well excuse me. I'd consider myself cyberpunk, thank you.
Tenerus: Nah, more like cyber-emo. You're pretty damn edgy.
Sakiro: *sudden retort to Tenerus* And you're pretty damn useless.
Kavita: Exactly, Sakiro.
Cathera: Indeed he is.
Junos: Unfortunately, I have to declare that it is true.
Tenerus: Ugh...*rolling his eyes in shame, then turns to Sai* Saitonia?!
Saitonia: Upon my examinations of you, I'm unable to defend you from their claim.
Tenerus: Goddamnit!
Kavita: Hey Sai, where's Aino?
Saitonia: She told me she was going to take a look at that...bar, for a "Clockshot" wanted poster or card.
*A knock is heard from behind the door, followed by a light Russian accent: "Hey Kav, I'm here."*
*Kav quickly walks to the door and opens it: "Yep. Anna, my fellooooow biker babe." Giving this Anna a quick hug.*
*Anna appears taller than Kav by a few inches. Light, fair skin with a dark blue undertone. Magenta eyes, and long maroon-brown hair. Upper wear is an unzipped, black, leather jacket, maroon short-sleeved shirt, skinny black jeans, and brown, tech-like riding boots.*
Anna: A sweet little gathering here. What's happening; a party in the next hour? *chuckles, then looks at Sai* Another erazeska...eraser?
Saitonia: Yes I am.
Anna: I'm sure Kav told me a bit about twins that were 2 different races, and you must be one of the twins. Heh, it's great news that Terranova isn't succeeding in killing every erazeska in existence. Maybe you'd be the one to give him what he has coming.
Saitonia: That is me. I'm Saitonia, my twin obliterator sister is Ainotias. I will be the one to erase Terranova. He killed our parents and sent us to this timeline.
Anna: *mouths "woah" as leans back a bit upon hearing what Sai told her* Wrenching. Now I hope you're the one to put an end to him.
Saitonia: And by the way, I almost thought that you were an erazeska.
Anna: Oh, hehe. Probably my magenta eyes. Kav's eyes are preeetty purple. You probably would've mistaken her to be an eraser before me.
Cathera: *eyes flash a glowing green* Ummm, guys. Something doesn't feel right. I think the timelines has been tampered with, and speaking of Terranova, it could be him.
Tenerus: Oh great...
Junos: Hmp. Seems obvious he'd do this.
Kavita: Such a remorseless, psychotic piece of shit.
Saitonia: This timeline is heavily advanced in technology. Are there like...new electronics where we can travel through years?
Junos: There's the usual Arckyve Time Devices, that I'm sure has been around even in your time, Saitonia. New-wise, there is the newly innovated Arckyve Time Pod.
Cathera: It'd be tiresome traveling year-to-year to revert the mistakes Terranova made. He's making a persistent attempt into turning the timelines into a huge clusterf-
Sakiro: *to Sai as she also cuts Cat off* You can get all the super advanced tech up in Paladuras.
Junos: *adding to Sakiro's claim* That citadel where the organization of noblemen hunters reside has all of the ultra-advanced technology. If we were to work alongside them, we could gain special access.
*Sai's cator starts to beep. He pulls it out, struggling to locate the answer button before eventually pressing on it.*
Ainotias: *from the cator* Brother? You answer?
Saitonia: It's me, sister.
Ainotias: Oh, it does work. I found something interesting at this "bar". Bar, right? Mind coming down?
Saitonia: I'll come. Don't go anywhere. *turns off cator, then asks the group* My sister said she found something at that bar. Any of you want to join me?
Cathera: Sure.
Sakiro: Yeah, I can.
Junos: Yes. Would be interested in seeing what your sister has uncovered.
Tenerus: Sure, I can. Why not?
Kavita: *to Tenerus* Nah uh.
Tenerus: Why?!
Kavita: You're coming with me and Ravy to kick some crook ass.
Saitonia: Tenerus, I think it's the best for you.
_________________
(Minutes later, Sai, Cat, Sakiro, and Junos arrive at the GB&P, where Aino is waiting outside. Seeing the 4, Aino walks towards them.)
Saitonia: What do we have here, sister?
*Aino replies with: "This." Holding a wanted card with a perfect sketch of Clockshot; a masked man with a glowing eye and bandana, wearing a fur cloak with the hood up. Also reading: "WANTED: CLOCKSHOT: DEAD OR ALIVE: REWARD: 850,000 zepiks."
Cathera: A wanted card of Clockshot already?
Ainotias: Mhm. Brother, that's 850,000 zepiks worth claiming from either capturing or killing him. Word is, he was "supposedly" seen south of this sub-strict.
Saitonia: Killing is way easier when it comes to wanted crooks. Capturing them delays an eventual "break-out", forcing you to kill them.
____________________
(Nightfall, on top of a building in Southern Sakrisen, the supposed "Clockshot", is scanning the scenery. The wanted card matches his actual appearance perfectly; wearing this sci-fi tan and dark gray mask with a glowing orange eye. White, camo bandana, long, white fur cloak. Ripped, white jacket with a smaller, tan jacket underneath. Tan pants and black boots with white fur. He also has gadgets attached to a holster around his waist.)
*Clockshot is aiming at the streets with his signature sniper rifle. It's large, gray with orange and white details, and an underbarrel where a bayonet is hidden inside. To his right, lies a dead male bounty hunter. *
Clockshot: *a robotic tone, signaling that he is an android* Scanning....scanning. No one around prowling for me and ending up killed. *pulling out a wanted card of himself* I'd like to give thanks to this bounty hunter for giving me this card of myself, even if it costed a bullet through his head. 850,000 zepiks? I'm better off turning myself in. *sighs* When I *clicks his tongue* ...they won't know, until they bleed out. *mask eye glows orange*
