A girl sat outside of a shop, cars whizzing by as she looked at a giant, blue wall on the other side of the street.  She had long, jet black hair and wore an apron, looking bored.  A hand came through the door of the establishment, the sign on the shop reading " Sento Sushi ".  


" Lucy! You need to get back in the kitchen! We don't have the time for you to be looking at the Pandorax Walls. " A man her age, wearing a chef's hat and an apron, scolded her as the girl looked up at him, being a bit shorter.  


" Gotcha, Bobby-Wobby. " The girl mocked, kissing the man on the cheek as she walked past all the tables in the restaurant and into the back area where the kitchen was.  Bobby sighed, smiling as he walked after her, going past the kitchen and to a stairwell.  


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Underneath Sento Sushi was a giant lab full of screens and lab equipment.  As Bobby walked down into it, he saw a teen boy scribbling equations onto a chalkboard.  Bobby grunted, walking down and grabbing the boy's shoulder, forcing him to turn and face him.


" Benjamin! You were supposed to be working the waiter shift! " Bobby shouted, Benjamin turning with a bunch of numbers drawn on his face with marker.  Benjamin smirked, pushing Bobby's hand off his shoulder.  


" Mr. Sento, I finally have Buildiver made! It took a lot of my pay, and a few bucks from Lucy, but I got all the parts and it's done! I have the bottles too! I just need t- " Benjamin rambled, until Bobby shook the boy. " Benny. We need you up there helping us! Finish up down here and then come upstairs. " Bobby said, turning and going up the stairs.


" This is how we'll fight Smash! Isn't that great?! " Benjamin yelled after Bobby, who stopped walking and turned. " Benny.  I know you want to fight them, and I know I should be optimistic.  But face the facts.  No one can beat Smash. " Bobby said, turning and walking up the stairs silently.


Benjamin sighed, looking at two bottles that sat on a shelf.  He picked them both up and stared at them. " Dad left these for me...why? " Benjamin said, remembering what happened when he was ten.  


Benjamin was sitting at a counter, working on some Legos with his father when there was a knock on the door.  The door was kicked open without warning, men entering with knives and pistols.  They grabbed his father, who had tried to draw his personal magnum.  They hit him in the face, knocking the man out. 


Two moved forward, tying up Benjamin and then leaving, dragging Benjamin's unconscious father.  Benjamin noticed an envelop fall out of his pocket, Benjamin's name on the front.  From the outside, Benjamin could make out two bottles inside.  


Benjamin shook his head, walking up the stairs to the kitchen area.  The other chefs looked over at Benjamin, waving.  Lucy marched over to him and hugged him.  " So, Kid, how are those inventions of yours coming along? " Lucy teased, Benjamin sighing.  


" I told you to stop calling me Kid.  I'm almost the same age as you! " Benjamin grumbled, Lucy giggling and patting him on the back.  Lucy stopped giggling as they heard a commotion from the main room.  " Stay here, Luce. " Benjamin said, walking out behind the counter.
