The color junk pile; home to Runners and Rats. As far as Killjoys were concerned, it was no home, but it was a great place for all color needs.

"Be sure to keep a look out for necessities, like hair dye!" Kobra said. He was looking through junk piles full of hair products. "Found it! Hair bleach!" He sung in a semi-angelic voice. "Your hair's starting to fade, so...."

Violet hadn't even thought about her hair. The color was still there, but it was no longer as bright, "I guess you're right. If you find red, purple, and blue, tell me. I'm going to find Myki."

"I'm right here?"

"I meant my bass."

"Oh! I'll tell you if I see anything!" He started searching even more piles.

Violet decided to go to the other side. There seemed to be bigger objects there. Multiple guitars and drums. She didn't see her beloved Myki, however, she did see a very special, old guitar. "Pansy."

"Hey, Kid, get the fuck over here."

"You find something?" As Kobra walked up to the pile, his eyes widened. "Wow. Haven't seen her in a while. Looks like Frank's gonna be happy. Holy shit."

"Yeah. Shame I couldn't find Myki."

"Not really."

"Wha--Why not?"

"'Cause," he pulled from behind him an old, beat up case, with the work "MYKI" carved into it, "I found her."

Violet opened her old case to reveal her old bass. "B-but how?"

"Simple. You weren't looking for your case. You were looking for the electric blue color. The same thing happened to me when I had to find 'Excallibur.' I also found hair dye for everyone!"

"Well, I think today has been a success!"

"Yeah. Let's hit the Red Line. It's always faster."

The Killjoys walked to the trans-am and hopped in, but Kobra looked apprehensive.

"Vie, get out of the car." He looked calm on the surface, but underneath the glassiness of his eyes, she could tell he was scared.

"Kobra, I don't understa--"

"Violet, just trust me. Get out."

She was scared, but she trusted Kobra, so she got out. Kobra slowly got out his carbon gun and switched off the safety. "Get ready," he whispered to Violet, signaling her to do the same. After she got her gun ready, Kobra turned the ignition on. Almost immediately, a Rat jumped up and shot the passenger seat. The seat Kobra made me move away from. The Rat was hit twice in the arm. He lay dusted on the ground.

"Who sent you!?" Kobra said sternly, pressing the gun to the Rat's chest.

"I-I just wanted some Ritalin, man!"

"That wasn't the question I asked! Now, I'll try again, but one more wrong answer and there will be another shadow in the desert. Who the fuck sent you?" Kobra had a wild, beast-like, killer glare in his eyes. Violet had seen this look before. It was the look Fun Ghoul had when he tried to kill her. It was the look the Drac had when he dusted her out. It was the look every murderer and serial killer had when stalking their prey. This was the look the Kobra Kid had.

"I-I don't know, man! Honestly!" The Rat pleaded for his life.

"Shame," Kobra sparked, "wasn't the right answer." He put his finger to the trigger.

"Mikey, stop!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Ha. That's cute, hun, but I'm not him. When he yelled at you for talking about the old world, he was really yelling at me for trying to take over. That's why he felt so bad. The same happens to the others. That's what Party meant when he said he hated it when 'Ghoul' took over. Mikey hates when I take over." Kobra Kid!?

"Mi--Kobra Kid, don't kill him."

"He tried to kill you."

"Mikey, I know you're in there," she pointed her gun at him, "don't do it."

"What're you gonna do? Shoot me?" He kept a poker face on.

"If it means you leaving, then yes." Don't call my bluff. Please, don't call my bluff.

"Shoot me then." Fuck, he called it.

"Fine." Violet shakily put her finger to the trigger.

"Shoot."

"I will." No, I won't.

"SHOOT!"

A shot sounded through the desert, Kobra's body fell back, and the Ritalin Rat ran away.
