Within the meeting room inside the main base Jerome waited for Morgan, Flamer and Nas to take their seats.

"Alright you three, I have a mission for you." said Jerome.

"More robots?" asked Morgan.

"Not this time." Jerome informed "I'm sending all three of you on an escort mission."

"Escort mission?" started Nas "Who are we escorting?"

"Princess Joan and her sister Brook." answered Jerome "You are to go to the village and take her to the hotel where she'll be staying."

"Sounds easy. Especially with no robots to deal with."

"There may not be any robots Flamer, but Felina has sent multiple alerts that Clayton and his gang has been hanging around the area."

"Clayton. He was there when the robots ambushed us near the plane." said Flamer.

"Then it would pay to be vigilant. He may be plotting something with the Robot Master." said Jerome.

"Who is Clayton?" asked Morgan.

"Clayton was once a member of the team." answered Jerome.

"Yeah, until he and Flamer got into a fight." added Nas.

"A fight?" wondered Morgan.

"Over Jen." said Flamer "He and Jen grew up together, so he thought he had first dibs on her. Unfortunately for him Jen had her eyes on someone else."

     In hangar, on a dark and stormy night, Jen walked through the back entrance to see Flamer waiting beside the Faller 9.

"You lose him?" asked Flamer, wrapping his arms around Jen's waist.

"Yeah." answered Jen, wrapping her arms around Flamer's neck "He's been following me around all day, bugging me."

"Well we're alone now." smiled Flamer, leaning closer to Jen's face.

"Yes we are." smiled Jen, pulling Flamer closer for a kiss.

     As the two stood kissing the back door opened up and there stood Clayton, looking Flamer with fire in his eyes.

"You rather kiss this little wimp than to kiss me?!?" growled Clayton, stepping closer to Jen and Flamer.

Flamer pushed Jen behind him as they backed from the angry seething bear.

"She chose me so just leave her alone!" ordered Flamer.

"I was the one who grew up with you!" yelled Clayton "I should have been your first!"

"I don't love you!" said Jen.

"You will!" growled Clayton, lunging for Flamer's neck.

Clayton threw Flamer onto a, trying to choke the life out of him. But Flamer managed to conjure up enough fire power and punched Clayton in his left eye.

"AHHHH!!!" yelled Clayton, holding to his left eye as Flamer ran to Jen.

"Are you okay?" asked Jen, holding onto Flamer.

"I'm fine." said Flamer, watching Clayton to make he doesn't try anything again.

"What's going on in here?" asked Jerome, barging through the back door, seeing Clayton holding to his scarred eye.

"He tried to attack us." spoke Flamer.

"Is this true?" asked Jerome.

"No! They attacked me!" lied Clayton.
