"So the guy who rules this place, he's alright, good at giving orders, but he has a jerk ego about him" Cipher explains
"Shouldn't be a problem" Flake shakes her head
Fifteen stops walking and starts sniffing around
"Hm?" Cipher turns to the animal
It starts walking back to the entrance
"You're the animal whisperer, what's it doing?" Kyron asks
"...Go ahead and meet the guy, I'll stay with Fifteen" Yami walks with Fifteen
"Alright...?" Clara stares
"I guess that means we meet the pric-preciuous leader" Cipher opens the door for everyone
"I can't send civilians out...nobody here knows how to hold a gun...sh!t" An older man stares at the wall, hands behind his back
"Hey, Matt, how's it going?" Cipher comes in after everyone else
The old man groans
"What do you want from me now, Cipher? If it's about your sister then-hm?" The man turns to him but notices everyone else
"We wanna help" Flake nods
"Help? Do what? Starve our resources?" The man asks
"This old fart's name is Matteo, you can just call him Matt" Cipher puts his hands on his hip
"You refer to me as chief and nothing below that rank" Matteo snaps it him
"Yeah, Yeah" Cipher rolls his eyes
"You've got a base that you need back, we came here to help" Jason offers
"Really? How do I even know you lot are qualified for this? My best men couldn't get it back and you expect me to put my faith in untrained shrimps like you?" Matteo asks
"Test me then" Metal steps forward
"Hm...cocky, I see, sure, what the hell, I barely have any fun" Matteo crosses his arms
"Here?" Metal asks
"Yes" Matteo answers
"I'm not sure that's smart" Cipher whispers
"I think I can take on an 80-year old man" Metal clenches his fist
"I don't think you could take me on if I was sleeping" Matteo stretches his neck
Metal throws a surprise blow
"Cocky" Matteo dodges the kick
"What the f-" Metal starts to say
Matteo punches Metal
"OH F#CK" Metal soars through the door
"METAL?" Clara looks at the door
"I'm...good" Metal slowly sticks his thumb up
"Doesn't feel too good, does it?" Yami laughs a bit, walking back to the group with Fifteen and two other people
"Who's that?" Carry walks out, stepping on Metal
"OOF" Metal shouts
"I'm Alex, this is Lexia, my sis" The brown-haired man introduces the purple-haired woman
"Hello" Lexia presses a button on her chest
The suit slowly comes off, disappearing
"HOLY CRAP, YOU'RE HYDRA" Putty runs over Metal to get to Lexia
"AFF" Metal grunts
Fifteen sits on top of Metal
"MMMM, MMMMMMM, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" Metal shouts, muffled under the creature
"Hey, Fiffy, you see this stick? Go fetch" Yami enthusiastically throws a stick
Fifteen shoots off after the stick
"Oh god, I'm up, I'm up" Metal dusts himself off
"You're welcome" Yami crosses her arms
"Yeah, thanks, I appreciate it..." Metal holds his stomach
"There's not a shot in hell you can take back Goliath" Matteo comes out
"Who's that guy?" Yami asks
"That's Matt, the big boy who runs this place" Cipher explains
"I said-" Matteo starts to say
"I'll make a bargain, if we get that base back, you owe us a place to stay for a while and a huge favor, how's that?" Yami asks
"...I'll owe you a favor if you get that base back and my daughter back" Matteo answers
"Where's your kid at?" Yami asks
"She is...at the base as well, if you can get her back, I truly will be in your debt, if you survive in there" Matto explains
"Was that a soft side I saw, cheif?" Cipher asks
"IT'S-did you really call me cheif?" Matteo asks
"I think I know what your thinking, I like your thoughts" Lexia glances at Yami
Fifteen comes back with the stick and sits in front of Yami
"Oh yeah, what is that thing?" Cipher asks
"She's Fifteen" Yami pats Fifteen on the head
"AND SHE'S THAT BIG?" Alex and Cipher shout
"Her name's Fifteen" Flake laughs a bit
"...I mean, is she fully grown?" Cipher asks
"Yeah" Flake nods
"No" Yami takes the stick and drops it
"She huh?" Mar stares at Fifteen
"Yeah" Yami nods
"God, what does it look like when it's an adult?" Jason asks
"How can you even tell?" Carry asks
"I'll tell you about it sometime, let's go get a base back" Yami starts walking off
"Do you know where it is?" Matteo asks
"I can guide them" Cipher answers, starting to walk
The group soon leaves
"...May god be with you all" Matteo utters
