An extra song I do love

Acronix looked out at the swamp as they headed over it. Though noticing a bit of chaos that has went on. But he didn't dare to mention it. Though Krux seems to notice as well and motioned Machia to land. "We are certainly going to visit someone." Krux said as he pushed down the ramp. He quietly walked down the ramp with his brother in tow. Acronix wondered who his brother ment, but he didnt want to question just in case Krux made him stay at the dome. Thankfully he didn't.

Acronix looked back. But realized that Cyrus was not with them anymore, which make him frown. He fixed his cape properly, but stopped before he collided against his brother. "Wheel tracks...seems like something more happened while we was away.." Krux explained as he knealed down. Gently touching the ground and looked up to where they lead. One away from the cell and one towards the cell. Noticing many footprints. "A chase." He muttered before getting up. But continued walking down the wooden paths.

"Possible chance the ninjas may have found the swamp brother." Acronix said, which Krux already knew. "That isn't a doubt. We just need that final time blade, then we are unstoppable!" Krux said in triumph. "But how are we going to get the time blade? It never disappeared into the time vortex, I would of sawn it", Acronix mentioned to him, speeding up to the male, but slowed down once he got close behind him. "Certain people would know where it is. They aren't very fond of being quiet." He replied to the younger.

Acronix glanced back to the vermillion who is starting to follow them. Whoever these people was, must be hard to contain if so many vermillion had to show up. He looked forward, but sighed quietly. He reached his hand out to his brothers and grabbed a hold of it. Krux looked back at him and stopped. "What is it?" He questioned, though he was interupred by Acronix hugging him. "I'm sorry....i didn't mean for that to happen yesterday...i didn't know what came over me..", the younger muttered quietly.

Krux frowned at his sudden sadden mood and hugged his twin back. "It's alright. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that", he whispered to his twin. Acronix lightly smiled. Though he was annoyed with the armor. Krux pulled away from the hug and gently tug his brother along, Acronix already instantly fell for the small trick with Krux showing a softer side. Acronix looked around the unfamiliar place as they walked.

Though they could hear talking from the small cabin. Though krux heard two unfamiliar voices along with the two familiar ones. He grew slightly angry before he had the vermillion hault. Quietly listening to the conversation inside. "We hidden it inside the ancient library of honomesú (how does one spell it-?), where they could never find it" krux heard Ray said before a more quiet voice spoke, which he knew was Maya. "You must go, if krux knows about this, he-"

He quietly walked over to the door and opened it, scaring the 4 inside. He took off his mask and grinned. "Could force you to retrieve it? Good suggestion Ray." Krux said. Though Acronix just quietly stared at Ray and Maya, slowly taking off his mask. "You....kidnapped them..?" He muttered and looked to his brother. Krux didn't acknowledge him to avoid the question. "Though we are going to need you to retrieve the time blade for us, no questions asked." He said coldly.

"Forget it Krux! We are done serving you", Ray barked back at him. Standing his ground infront of his family. Though Maya could see the anger slowly growing in Acronix's face. "Acronix...", she whispered softly, hoping that he would hear. "On the contrary." Krux started, which he took out the red time blade, just before Ray could officially attack him, he was stopped in mid air. Having Krux to kick him back to the ground. "If you want your precious master to survive, you WILL retrieve the time blade for us. And it seems like the reveral blade is the only way to undo the time punch." Krux said with a grin. Machia brought wu inside, which had the Smith family to gasp. "Master!" Kai and Nya yelled, "wu..", Maya said right after then in disbelief.
