Perhaps a black cloud followed them since opening the doors to one another in Cyber City?
No, Eclipse was unlucky before then... So, maybe created as a black sparrow in a flock of doves, legends of bad luck with a mere glance their way?

Cyber City,
Crystal City,
Iacon,
Chicago... for the fourth time now.
Clearly the odds were never in their favor, even if they didn't really do as much damage this fourth time around for that unfortunate city.

The femmeling held her carrier close, unsure of what to make of the situation. There was no gunfire, so she wasn't entirely frightened; however, the scene was awfully familiar to her and she visibly grew nervous.
"He left to go handle Knockout and Breakdown." Drift explained shortly, "Seems they only sent out two to do the job."
"That idiot!" Eclipse snapped, followed by a murmur to Nova to not repeat that.
