It's been 6 months since Tord made his grand reappearance. 6 months since he returned only for his robot. 6 months before he would make his presence known again.
In the years he was gone, he had joined the infamous Red Army, and became the illusive...
Tord laid down on his bed, still in shock after that phone call. What happened? Were they brainwashed when they accused him of those things. God forbid, was HE brainwashed after he did those things? He was not okay with these thoughts flooding his mind.
You've hurt us so much. Don't pretend you haven't.
Sounds like what a terrorist like you would say.
Wait, he's not dead?
Tord nearly forgot how painful words could be. He's been hurt physically many times and came out on top. But this... this was something else entirely.
"BREAKING NEWS!!!"
[TORD'S POV]
Oh yeah, the TV's on. Forgot about that. Actually, isn't this what TV was made for? To relieve you from the harshness of reality? Then again, the news was on, so maybe not quite. Either way, I decide to tune in to the news. Ah, society crumbling is the best. Definitely helps cope with my crumbling life. Edd always told me not to make those self-depreciating jokes, but he doesn't care about me anymore. None of them do. Wait, didn't he say he wanted to forgive me? Hm, maybe there's still a cha- ...
Wait...
IS THAT ME ON THE TV SCREEN?!
...
Nah, it can't be. That guy has a scar on the right half of his face, while mine doesn't. He also has a right robot arm, something I wish I had. Speaking of things I wish I had, I decide to turn off the news and read my hentai.

MEANWHILE...
[EDD'S POV]
What just even happened? Okay, let me try and break this down:
1. My childhood friend betrays me in March
2. He waits 6 months to call me again, even though I SWEAR I deleted his number
3. Tom and Matt eavesdrop on my conversation and all join in to tell him how much we hate him
4. Tom leaves, presumably to kick Tord's arse
Yeah, I think I got it.
Anyways, Matt and I are still in my apartment, watching the news. As it played, I thought about going after Tom. It WAS his loss, but... this is just history repeating itself. Last time Tom stormed out like this was in March, when... the incident happened. And guess what? He almost got killed by Tord's stupid giant robot. Suddenly, my thoughts are broken by:
"BREAKING NEWS!!!"
I snap out of my daze. "Edd, were you in your little head dimension again? Or whatever you call it?" Matt asked. "Yeah, I was just thinking about when Tom stormed out last time. I think we should go get him before disaster... strikes... ah." The TV was what made me stop mid sentence. "A group of communists known as the Red Army is taking over London. They are in command to the infamous Red Leader, pictured here." Oh god, Tord looks like crap. He has this MASSIVE scar on his face. I look to my left and see Matt gag a little. Yeah, he finds this worse than I do. "Oh god, what happened to him?!" exclaims Matt. "He's hideous!" "That hideous man is who Tom's after," I said. "And if we don't go after Tom right away, he's going to get killed, or worse, by that man. C'mon Matt, let's go!" I then grab Matt by the arm and rush him out of my apartment.
