The cat enters Rares' room.

“Hey, get up, I fixed him up. Time to roll.” said the cat.

Rares gets out of his room, ignoring Stefan fully. The cat grabs his gloves once more and uses the remote to activate the hologram on the wall again. The map of the city appears once more.

“As you can see, I marked the high energy signal with this orange spot.” said the cat as he showed them the map.

“That spot is pretty big… It covers at least an entire kilometer.” said Rares.

“Yes, exactly, and that’s why you both should cooperate right now. This is no time for jealousy, tomfooleries or any fancy word kids these days like to use.” said the cat.

Rares scoffs and crosses his arms.

“Do you have any idea if it’s Andrew?” asked Stefan.

“Unfortunately, I have no idea. The databases of their operations are way better hidden, I was not able to access them.” said the cat, as he shut down the hologram and took off his gloves.

“But worry not, since they’re out of bosses and they don’t know our location, it’s impossible for anything important to happen without Andrew appearing.” said the cat as he floated over to the teleportation device.

Both Rares and Stefan get on the carpet.

“Oh yeah, and one more thing, Stefan, you can send me a message when you want me to deactivate every single robot. We only have one shot at it though since once they find me they’ll ban me from their system.” said the cat before pulling the lever, teleporting them.

Stefan sighs deeply.

"What's wrong?" asked Rares with a slightly cold tone.

Stefan doesn't reply at all then looks away with slight shame. Stefan realizes that he has been here before. The radio tower he once wanted to take down is the spot the cat marked on the map. Suddenly, orange lightning flashes on the antena of the tower, then in the blink of an eye, a large orange beam with a white inner glow flashes on top of the tower, obliterating it fully, the beam disappearing shortly after.

"Hey, any idea what that is?" asked Stefan.

"The only thing I know for real is that whatever it is, it will die." said Rares.

Both of them rush towards the impact. Rares flies over the buildings and Stefan runs there. Once they arrive, they see an orange body on the ground on its knees, bent forward, facing the ground with its hands on the ground. A powerful mystic orange aura emanates out of the foreign entity. Stefan glares at it, as if a memory has been awoken in the depths of his mind. The humanoid being slowly gets up… looking like a… clone of Stefan.

"What? It's you? Are you hands in hands with Andrew?" said Rares to Stefan.

Stefan doesn't flinch in the slightest, he locks sight with the entity.

"Hey, I remember you." said Stefan.

He did not remember the entity, "but he had just a faint memory of it. The being speaks in an echoing voice, having a tone similar to Stefan.

"Hm, what a nice family reunion…" said it as it slowly raised its arm and clenched its fist, looking at it with a neutral expression.

"Spit out your name!" yelled Rares.

"For your familiarity, you can call me Orange."

"Like, the fruit?" asked Rares.

"No you dumbass! The color! The color orange! My body is orange! You fucking…" said Orange angrily.

"So he has the same anger issues as this boy does…" said Rares in a low tone, rubbing his chin.

"So you 2 did get to know each other pretty well I suppose." said Orange.

"More or less…" said Stefan.

"And what do you mean family reunion?! We're not related in any way!" said Rares.

"Oh? You two didn't know?" asked Orange.

"You two are giving me a headache already." said Stefan.

"You two are brothers. Blood brothers. From the same mother and father." said Orange.

Rares crosses his arms.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"So… I share my blood with this… idiot…" said Rares in his mind.

"He's pissed off isn't he…" said Stefan in his mind.

"Is that all? You just arrived here with all of that fancy intro just to yap about random bullshit?" said Rares.

"Alright… Engage…" said Orange as he raised his guard.

Orange's fists glows stronger. Rares takes out a fire spear, spins it a little then attacks Orange with a downwards strike. Orange blocks it with his arm then he blasts Rares away with an orange energy shot. Rares slides back but recovers quickly, he clenches his teeth then runs up to him once more. He throws his spear, which Orange easily dodges. Rares goes for a punch with his right arm, Orange evades that as well then puts his hands in his pockets and closes his eyes. Rares unleashes a barrage of punches and kicks which Orange dodges with no sweat. Rares takes out another fire spear then tries to pierce him. Orange parries his spear, spins, then delivers a heavy blow in Rares' jaw, knocking him to the ground. Rares pants heavily then slowly gets up. Stefan uses an electric dash to assault Orange with his sword. Orange blocks the strike and the sword gets stuck in his arm. Orange pushes Stefan away with another blast. Stefan is knocked back, but he launches a blood energy blast which catches Orange by surprise. His sword flings out of his arm and he quickly grabs it. Orange dashes at insane speeds and kicks Stefan into the ground. Stefan quickly recovers then flips back, dodging a stomp from Orange. Stefan goes for a direct swing, which Orange dodges by ducking. Stefan instantly activates blood flames mode, but this time it felt different, the flames weren't just flowing out of his suit, they were directly bursting out in shapes of gigantic spikes. Stefan rapidly proceeds to kick the living hells and heavens out of Orange's head with his left leg, crashing him into a building. Stefan crouches and prepares to launch at Orange. The ground crumbles beneath his feet, then he dashes at insane speeds right at Orange, attempting to hit his head. Orange, who was still down, hardly catches his fist. Wearing a dead serious expression, he pushes against Stefan. Both of them struggling against each other, Stefan kicks Orange in the head again, staggering him a little, followed by Stefan delivering an insanely fast punch in his face. Orange barely dodges the hit, bruising his face a little in the process. Orange dashes away and gains distance. Stefan deactivates blood energy mode and pulls out his sword again. Orange shoots a blast, Stefan blocks it then advances towards Orange. Rares prepares himself to launch a charged spear, he locks onto Orange, then throws it. But right in that moment, Orange dashes to Stefan, dodging the spear. Orange goes for a direct punch. Stefan stops and blocks the punch, being pushed back slowly. Rares activates combat elementalist coat then dashes violently towards Orange. Orange kicks Stefan away then quickly turns around and grabs Rares by the throat with his right hand then slams him into the ground, Rares groans in pain, but he quickly puts his palms on Orange's face and casts a wave of condensed fire energy. Orange is barely affected by it, having several scars from the attack. He raises Rares up, still choking him, then he throws him like a pitcher, landing into a light pole, bending it on impact. Rares slowly struggles to get up as Orange prepares to launch at him. Stefan quickly dashes, leaps and kicks Orange in the back, pushing him at once. Orange stumbles and rolls on the ground for a brief moment before getting up once more. Stefan quickly assaults him with a downward slash as he wields his sword with both of his hands, letting out a battle cry. Orange solidifies the energy from his fists then parries Stefan’s attack and delivers a wild right hook in his jaw, knocking him down and the sword out of his hand. Suddenly, a fire string is tangled onto Orange’s arm. Rares shot a flame string. He’s standing, panting heavily, extremely damaged, but still standing. Orange aims his right palm at him then launches an energy blast. Rares throws a fire spear at the blast. Upon collision, both projectiles destroy each other mid-air. Orange dashes faster than one can blink and attacks Rares. His combat coat’s flames burst from beneath him with an attempt at pushing him away which is redeemed as futile, as Orange goes through them like nothing. Orange grabs Rares’ face.

“How do you like it when someone else does it to you?” said Orange, before blasting him in the face, knocking Rares into a convenience store, busting him through the wall of the building.

“Pathetic, expected more from a son of Dobre.” said Orange, disappointed.

Stefan rises from the ground, activating his blood flames mode. The flames sparkling and spiking from his suit sharper and stronger than ever. He takes no time to zoom right at Orange, which notices this and proceeds to dash at Stefan as well, both of them engaging in a clash, pushing their palms against each other. They both headbutt each other against their heads, then, in tandem, they both replicate each other’s moves. They both punch their left fists, kick each other into their right leg, try to back slap each other, but end up clashing into each other once more, this one into each other’s arms. With a burning sheer rage and bloodshed in his eyes, Stefan pushes as hard as he can. Orange struggles as well, but they both seem to match each other’s powers. They both dash back, then forward, punching into each other’s fists. Stefan releases a burning blast of blue flames which causes insane damage to Orange and weakens his aura, as well as pushing him back a great distance.

“What the hell is wrong with this thing? I don’t feel like I’m fighting neither a human nor elementalist. His body is cold… Cold like dirt… What could be hiding beneath that layer of pure energy?!” said Stefan in his mind.

Orange took no time to rise up once more, but was greeted with a hit in the chin by Stefan’s knee. Stefan sees the bent light pole which Rares was smacked into. He quickly grabs Orange’s head and bashes it against it, bending the pole further and further, until it suddenly breaks and Stefan throws him through it. Orange rolls on the ground for a brief moment then stops himself, getting up. Stefan dashes at him and goes for a kick. Orange replicates it and their kicks hit each other, pushing both of them back. Stefan notices that his sword is not too far from him, but neither is from Orange. They both quickly lunge towards it. Stefan takes advantage of the situation, as Orange tries to reach for the sword, Stefan lands an insanely destructive blow in his jaw, as well as sending an almighty blood flame blast, damaging him extremely much and knocking him up. Stefan instantly grabs his sword and quickly jumps, in order to catch Orange midair. Orange tries to use blasts to propel himself away from the attack, but fails, getting cut right in his shoulder. They both land down on the ground again. Stefan wears the same insane, full of anger expression as he pants lightly. Orange is extremely shocked and amazed by his sheer determination and power, as he holds his left hand on his injured shoulder, which has no more aura anymore. Upon removing his hand… It reveals his body under the energy barrier… Which is nothing but dirt.

“So it’s true, you are nothing but dirt.” said Stefan.

Orange saddens up slightly then looks at the ground.

“Must be fun being an original, is it?” said Orange with sadness in his tone.

Stefan’s flames intensify.

“How long are you going to keep going at it?” asked Orange.

“Until you get the fuck out of my sight, disgusting piece of shit.” said Stefan angrily.

Orange looks once more at his injury before speaking up again.

“Fine. You win this time, but I’m warning you, this will not be the last time you will ever hear about me.” said Orange, before dashing at immeasurable speeds.

Stefan tries to catch up to him, but it’s all worthless. His blood flames mode turned off.
