Rose's POV:
Recently, business has been pretty slow, so we're all doing what we can to pass the time. 505 is drawing on the floor, Demencia is eating cereal with milk, and Flug & I are working at the computer, with Flug falling asleep out of boredom until the phone rings.
Flug: *over the phone* "Black Organi-Hat-zation, hello?"
Man: *over the phone* "Privet. I call to thank you for taking care of Bicep."
Flug: *over the phone* "No, right. Sure. It was no biggie. As we say, 'Evil is our business, and-*yawns*-Well, you know the rest."
Man: *over the phone* "Of course, I pay lots of money."
Flug: *over the phone* "Yeah, and you got the discount, pal. Thanks for calling.-*hangs up*-Hmm. Hey, uh, Demencia? Do you have a 'Bicep' on your victims list?"
Demencia: "Mmm, doesn't sound like anybody I remember."
Me: "He's not in the schedule either. Maybe the news has something to say about him."
I type Bicep's name into the computer and find a news report about him being defeated by someone from Black Hat, much like some other heroes.
Flug: "Wait a minute. We didn't do any of this. Why do they think it's our work? Someone's pretending to be us! And the worst part is they're taking money that's supposed to be ours!"
Me: "Another imposter."
Flug: *growls* "What's with these people? They dress up and pretend to be you or Demencia."
Demencia: "Isn't that what you nerds do at conventions?"
Flug: "We have to stop this imposter!"
Demencia: "How are we supposed to do that? It's not like they'll send us a messenger pigeon or something."
Then, 505 is hit in the face with a giant weight.
Me: "5.0., are you ok?"
I then notice an envelope attached to the weight.
Me: "And you were saying?"
Demencia: "It's not like Black Hat will magically appear to kiss me.-*sighs*-It was worth a try."
Flug: *reads note* "Dear and puny replicas, as you can see, I have successfully stolen your identities and soon your lives. And to do so..."
Then, another weight appears, but Demencia catches it.
Me: *reads note* "I challenge you to a duel in my impressive headquarters where only the strongest of us will survive. My address is written on the back."
Flug: "Hmm, this is clearly a trap."
Demencia: "So, then, we're not gonna go?"
Flug: "Of course we're going. We have to stop these phonies."
Demencia: "Yeah!"
Me: "Luckily, we still have a bit more time before Black Hat returns from his lunch."
Flug: "Let's show these cheap imitations what the real Black Hat Org. can do."
So, we board the ship and fly toward the address while researching our newfound opponents.
Flug: "Apparently, these imposters have pretended to be us for a while now."
