AT THE CAFETERIA INSIDE CYDONIA:

- Century Breaker: So what's your story Michael?

- Kobra Kid: Me?

- Century Breaker: No, I meant High Voltage, what's your story?

- Michael Otani: Oh, well, let's see...I've been digging into crates ever since I was living in Battery City, before the rat race and before Party formed the killjoys, I was hiding around the alleys and when I had the chance, I joined the right side.

- Party: Yeah, he was one of the first Killjoys that joined us and helped out a fucking ton in the beginning.

- Century Breaker: Ohh. And how did you join? Or how did you meet?

- High Voltage: BL/ind has tried to shake us all, I was living in Battery City with my parents,  but they were involved in a fuck ton of fights against Happinax, so one day a bunch of Dracs showed up and......literally shocked my parents to death.

- Century Breaker: What? In front of you?

- Voltage: Yeah, it wasn't that pleasant to watch.

- Century Breaker: And why didn't they just shoot or burn them?

- Desolation: Shigeru! What kind of question is that?

- Century: Just a question, I think that because we all know how much she fucking adores doing that, you know...

- Voltage: Don't worry Chester; I don't even know the reason myself... I... I guess they maybe like... ran out of ideas and maybe wanted to try something new? It's very fucking wierd to think about it that way, but... I guess it could be, technically, of you shock someone to death, you burn them, right?

- Century: Yeah... Yeah I guess so...

- Voltage: Anyways, after that I escaped home and started living in alleys surviving from food thrown in the garbage and one day I noticed a bright and colorful car was smashing the BL/ind police and so I got close to them saying if I could join them because I wanted to avenge my parents and eliminate Better Living; the driver ended up being Party and accepted, that's when the Killjoys really started to grow.

- Century Breaker: Oh, so you kind of found him, Party?

- High Voltage: Ye, we happened to be at the right place at the right time.

- Party: We weren't really trying to get people to join us at that point, but recruiting Voltage was a really good decision because he now takes care of all the tech shit while we go killing Dracs and Scarecrows.

- Kobra: Hey! I do too.

- High Voltage: That's right Party, Mikey helps a lot as well.

- Party: It's just that he's my little brother so-

- Kobra: I'm fucking thirty, Gerard! I can handle myself very easily!

- Party: That language Mikey!

- Century Breaker: Okay Okay, don't fight, we don't want this turning into a-

- Party: Yeah, we should stop.

- Fun: You guys are the funniest brothers ev-

- The Way bros: FUN! SHUT UP!

- Fun: Just saying...

- Voltage: Anyway, so I joined Poison and his gang of nuts. They taught me how to shoot, how to fight in case I lost my gun or the battery ran out, we made plans to infiltrate Battery City again and then others like Chester joined.

- Desolation: Yep, I joined them after Voltage.

- Voltage: And so, one day Fun asked me what my Killjoy alias was gonna be.

- Fun: It was very amusing watching him come up with the name.

- Voltage: And I thought: "What do I want to live for?" I wanted to avenge my parents and they were shocked to death; so the only alias I thought of was High Voltage, it was the unforgettable sound from my parents' screams bringing me up and taking me down coming at me from every side: High Voltage.

Melanie Iwata / Quiet Steam, a girl with really long black crackly hair, eye shadow, a black jacket with symbols on it and tight pants, suddenly bursts into the room as if she just ran a million miles.

- Melanie Iwata: GUYS! Guys! *Pant* *pant* I...I ah, I was doing the regular check-up on our supplies and *pant* we're....we're out of Power Pup! cans and we only have a dozen batteries, you Fabulous 5 use too many batteries!

- Party: Okay, okay! We gonna go get some stuff from the city tomorrow, relax.......And we don't use too many batteries, it's just that...tha-

- Fun: It's just that we like to shoot random stuff so...no big deal hahaha.

- Party: Frank! Don't say tha-

- Quiet Steam: Don't worry, Gerard. *pant* You can't fool me, you love wasting batteries.

- Cherri: Okay! Jeez. Gee already said that we're going for more supplies tomorrow, so what's the big deal?

- Steam: You better, or we won't be able to eat for the next week, besid-

- Jet: Yesssssss, we got it, Mel!

- Steam: Uggghh, you boys are so...so-

- Voltage: I'm sorry? We're what, hun?

- Steam: No, not you, sweetheart. The rest...whatever, I'm going back to my work. Later! (Leaves the cafeteria, showing everyone the three green waves that form her logo on her backside)

- Kobra: Jesus, I have ZERO clue how you manage to be her boyfriend, Mike.

- Voltage: What can I say? I'm just THAT awesome.

- Everyone but High Voltage: Ahhhhh hahahaa.

- Sky Blue: Sure, Michael...Sure. Hahahaha.

- Voltage: What? Does no one fucking believe me?

- Party: Just... just... not really.

(*Everyone laughs*)
