Across the Threshold: Cold War Prelude 08

Across the Threshold: Cold War Prelude 08

In a bathroom stall within the restaurant the Laughing Gungan, Twin Drake paced back and forth within towards a now transformed Voidmond. "Look you can't just go into a place and copy the first idiot you see, you need to be discrete." "Well," Voidmond, now in the form of a garuda wearing nothing but the second hand clothes Twin Drake had loaned him, "I at least did what I was told to do." "DID something!? You SCANNED a guy in public and you now look like some idiot who came out of a thrift store." "Oh," Voidmond said as he morphs back into his true form. "No no no," Twin Drake said, "Change back. People are going to ask Questions" Voidmond then glowed and morphs into his garuda form. "Let's go then!" Voidmond stated, but Twin Drake stopped him. "I might have something." he said before pulling out a long brimmed hat and placing it on Voidmond's head. Outside the bathroom, Twin Drake exited through the door only to see Chase and Katie talking to the clerk, a sirian. "Oh hello." Twin Drake said to himself, "Fancy seeing you here." He turned towards the still morphing Voidmond. {I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!} He messaged to the humonculi before closing the door.

"So no androids had passed by?" Katie asked. "Yeah." The clerk said, "but some dragon guy came in with a friend though." "When did this happened?" Chase asked. "5 minutes ago."  The clerk answered, causing Chase to move towards the restroom only to meet Twin Drake halfway. "You!" Chase said. "Fancy meeting you here. How was the streets?" Suddenly a hand appeared on Twindrake's shoulder. "Excuse me!" Twin Drake turned to see a smiling young garuda wearing Voidmond's clothes. "Void!?" Twin Drake said under his breath. "Hi, anything's the matter?" The three agents were taken off guard by the young man's appearance, but Chase stepped up. "Nothing." He said pointing to Twin Drake, "Who are you and what is your relation to this man?" "Oh. my name is Ben and this dude is my boyfriend, Frodo." {BOYFRIEND?} Twin Drake asked mentally. {SHUT UP.} Voidmond said, "We're just meeting up to set up lunch for tomorrow." "Lunch?" Chase asked, skeptical. "Yeah, we just decided to make a pit stop for right now and we'll just be out of your hair in a few-" "The cashier said that your friend came in with a hooded figure, was that you?" "Um, yes that was me. Burritos and all." He laughed as the three starred furrowed their brows. "Look," Katie said, Do you mind if you come with us we have some questions we would like you to answer. "Ah yes very well," Voidmond said. {WHAT THE (censored) ARE YOU DOING!?} {TAKING BACK WHAT"S OURS!}  "We'll come." The two left the restaurant with the Humonculi as a reptilian woman and a garuda man got up and followed the group.

Meanwhile in Dirsh
"How's the stomach?" Scott said, hand on Chiros's bunk. "Yeah." Chiros said, he then turns to Kafe asking, "Hey Kafe, who is this guy?" Kafe glared at the sirian across him and said, "He's with the CPDF." He said after taking a deep breath. "Oh," Chiros said solemly "sorry if I ruined everything." "You didn't." Scott said, "Next time you charge into battle, look where you are going first." Kafe said to Chiros, "I think you need to rest the wound off," "I-" Chiros started before saying "Yes sir." He got up and walked up to Scott, whispered "Scott a word?" "Yeah," Scott said as they both moved into the hallway. Closing the door, Kafe turned to the sirian and said calmly, "He's young, you know. I can't afford to let him into run off into danger. He just lost his father and-" "I know," Scott said, catching Kafe by surprise, "Shiro told me all about it. I'm sorry for what had happened to you." Kafe turned and said "You can't fix what happened to me, but if you want to make up for past mistakes, then do it, I won't stop you. Just know this, if you pull any (censored) in the near future, I will end you myself." "Fine." Scott said.

Bakore sat in a the cell in the Dirsh prison. "He'll come." Bakore said to himself, and after a few minutes he said to himself. "What happened to that kid, was that my fault? Nah it was probably his fault, and more importantly, how did he even get there in the first place!?" Suddenly he jumped and turned as the cell door opened for Chipp and Wisey to walk in. "  "Who are you two (censored)s?" Bakore asked. "I am Chipp and this is my junior Wisey." Chipp stated, pointing to Wisey, "As you may be aware, we work for the CPDF. We have two options for you. One is that you either come with us and help us, or just stay here and face justice for your crimes." "Is that it?" Bakore asked. "Yes." Chipp said "Those are your choices." "Then I'd rather stay here than associate with the likes of you." Surprised, Wisey yelled "Hey! What's your deal?" "Hold it!" Chipp said holding his hand to stop Wisey, "Let me ask the questions." He turned to Bakore, saying, "Ever since we met you guys you've been warning us about G Zero and how bad he is, but my team has just found out that he's some kind of savior from a very reliable source. I know your group is trying to kill this being and I want to know why." Hearing this, after a minute of deliberation, Bakore turned to the ceasarian with a serious look on his face. "Fine, I'll tell you what I know." He said crossing his arms.
