Location: Legion HQ
And not a moment too soon. Afternoon, February 17th, 2521
"Tsch, and here we was expecting good pay for this." An unnamed reploid had entered Legion HQ to drop off the newest package in the load.
"Well, mate, you can't expect everything to be perfect. Though this girl is pretty stubborn." A female humanoid put her hands on her hips.
"..." The young female human, caught and unhappy, glanced behind her to see what was going on. Apparently these two had taken her katana, and she looked down. Hopefully Model S...
Alki's thoughts were ripped away from her as a pair of scientists, a man with a beard but no hair, and a woman with hair but no beard came in. She winced visibly as the two bounty hunters poked Alki and then started laughing.
"You shouldn't trust people so easily!" They laughed and then left the building of Legion. Alki quickly glanced around for an escape but she found none. Of course, she couldn't do anything without Model S. She then glared at the two of them.
"Well, young lady. You need to be confined to the likes of Legion. We would arrest you for petty theft, but it seems like you were part of a more underground and savage location and we'll put that aside to give you your proper humanoid status." Of course, this means she would have to be even ore careful from now on if they were successful. She would be imprinted as a wanted criminal still.
"Yeah, I kinda figured." Alki narrowed her eyes.
---
Model S knew he was in big trouble, and there was nobody around for help. The floating bimetal had nobody to look for, and tracking down Voile proved hard to catch. Plus... he seemed to be the only reliable friend that he would think of as of right now.
Alki... didn't have very many friends and still was too trusting. That would have to change soon.
"Of course I end up in the shittiest place with the shittiest people and the shittiest time, and the shittiest government..." Model S continued to mutter as he searched around the alleyways and buildings.

Post by Imit Phare & Model Co on Mar 10, 2012 0:13:16 GMT -5
Meanwhile, blissfully unaware of a certain panicking Biometal, Imit walked down the streets with Model Co. It was quite empty, so Co was out and about, chatting it up with Imit. He drove Imit up the wall sometimes - Co was a very active, very loud Biometal, and sometimes he felt like he was a babysitting an obnoxious brat.
Still, he wouldn't trade Co for the world.
"...And then I was all 'But being a copy of you would make me the biggest cheat of them all, right?!' and he just stared at me with this completely blank look on his face! It was completely hilarious!"
Imit laughed a little at that. He didn't know how much of Co's storytelling was true, but it sounded like the kid was having a good time, so he was patiently listening to the kid and letting him get it out of his system. He smiled.
"And then what?"
"And then-..." Co turned on his axis, staring in the direction that Model S was. "...There's a Biometal nearby. A familiar one... and it's not that annoying one from the restaurant, either."

Jake himself had been wandering around the place, keeping up with the local train station, and generally musing about Kristine. Yeah, she was pretty attractive, close to his age... and he could work for her. Maybe... he could use that as an excuse to get closer, see what was going on-huh? The man looked up and nearly bumped into a little kid and... some incomprehensible blathering from somewhere.
"... Excuse me." He muttered. Of course that was still bothering him, so unless the kid annoyed him over something, he wasn't sure what else it'd be.

Model S was desperate, of course he had no idea what he could do and then a flash of brown caught his audits as well as.... he could sense a bimetal, and it was one... he remembered. memories came to him, a laughing child, pranks, wonderful pranks... and... Red eyes, purple scarf.
"Co.... Co..." S stammered. he then rushed over, only to smack right into Jake's head and reel back. Oh crud. What was he to do now?
"... Wait." he then swiveled to meet Imit. "You! I need your help!" WELL IT WAS THE BEST HE COULD DO. "You know a guy, who looks like you, but not really? He has brunette hair instead."

As of right now, Voile was not too far from them, though he was far enough not to hear the hullabaloo that was going on between Jake, Model S, Imit, and Model Co. He probably would have flipped if he had known that his brother whom he thought was dead was wandering around.
"..."
"You must be really bored."
"Shut up."

Imit nearly bumped into someone; Model Co quickly dodged out of the way, staring at the man. Whoa. If he had had his body, he would have openly stared at the man.
"Geez, you're tall."
Imit blinked, agreeing with his Biometal's statement as the guy apologized and began to walk away from him.
"No problem."
And of course, something bumped into Jake at that moment. Imit winced, reaching out to the Biometal.
"Hey, Biometal, are you okay...?"
Wait, someone that looked like him, but brunette? Imit stared blankly at the Biometal. That description fit Voile.
"The only person I know of that fits that description is Voile, but-"
He was cut off by an excited squeal from Co, who zoomed up to Model S and began nuzzling the other Biometal.
"DAD! DAD! DAD!"

Jake blinked at the kid as he apologized and he was about to go on his way, muttering... just then, Jake was smacked with something and he turned around to yell at the kid to GET THE BLEEP OFF OF HIS PROPERTY tell him to stop throwing things, however he saw it was a biometal. Oh those things!
"Huh?" He looked over as Imit started speaking to them. "You can understand them? All I hear is garbled mess." Of course he heard the word Voile and such. He blinked, quite interest in this occasion, and Imit's little biometal seemed to enjoy this other one.
"What's going on?"

Model S would definitely have the memories pour in this time. He listened to Imit as he spoke up and he nodded, before getting nuzzled quickly by Model Co. If he were humanoid... he would have been crying. His son... was a biometal. Either way. It was wonderful. Copy was here, and with him... everything was perfect now.
"SON!" His voice seemed to gasp out loud. "I haven't seen you in ages! I missed you so much.... No wait!" He paused for a moment. He was getting sidetracked.
"My biomatch, Alki Ambrosi, is in huge trouble. Legion kidnapped her."

Imit stared as the Biometal he didn't recognize and his childlike Biometal started nuzzling each other and Co called him 'Dad' and the other one called him 'Son'. Holy crap, this had been the 'Dad' that Model Co had been mentioning in a few of the stories? Either way, he bit his lip; even his Biometal had his parents.
He turned around Jake as spoke to him, and nodded. "Yeah, I can understand them. I... haven't met anyone else that could, and I really have no idea why I can understand them- wait, you can hear them? I've never met anyone that could hear them, either."
"I missed you too! I thought me and that idiot Gemini were the only ones!" Model Co did a hover-eight motion, and stared at Model S as he said that his Biomatch had been kidnapped. "Wh-What?! Why would they do that, jerks! Let's get her back!"
Imit tilted his head and listened a bit. "I don't know about Voile, but if we're talking about the same person, then that idiot has a lot of explaining to do. I thought he died five years ago!"
What the hell. Why would... Legion kidnap a girl... well she was a Biomatch, and he supposed that Biometals were wanted by Legion. He turned to Jake to translate. "Okay. According to him, his biomatch, a girl named Alki Ambrosi, has been kidnapped by Legion."
"I'm gonna help you!"
"And Co decided that I'm helping."

Kristine Ennertel just happened to be in the area, and it didn't take much effort to spot that seven foot tall giant from a distance. Jake? It had been a few days, maybe she could approach him again?
She had begun to move closer when she saw the biometals, and suddenly became excited. Biometals!~ Suddenly giddy as a school girl, she skipped over and had just gotten within earshot of the group when she heard Imit 'translate' for the biometal, saying a girl had been kidnapped.
Wait, 'Ambrosi'? Wasn't that Jake's last name?
"Wha?" Kris's confusion was evident as she came to a stop, looking at Jake curiously. She didn't even get a chance to get a word in edgewise...

Model S looked at Jake, wondering if he could hear him, but apparently he couldn't understand them. Oh well. At least Imit was going to help and he felt relieved that someone could help. But then he could feel someone else nearby. He then flicked a bit.
"Well speak of the Devil, i think he's nearby. I sense his bimetal. Anyway thanks for helping me out, son, and you too." He spoke up. Of course, then Alki Ambrosi was mentioned and then it hit him exactly who the tall man was.
"...Oh." Shit.

jake himself quietly watched as Imit spoke to the biometals, glancing over to the side as he saw Kristine come up. He would have gone to greet her and give her a proper intro, but then he heard the word that caused him to pale. His eyes widened and the corner of his lip twitched.
Alki Ambrosi.
That just cannot be a coincidence. That just can't be. Jake's teeth clenched and his fists tightened up tight, to the point where his knuckled were turning white, his face was completely tense, but the worst part was that he turned completely silent.
"....... I know where Legion is." He grunted, his voice dangerously low and quiet. He then pushed past Imit and stormed in the direction of where that place was, though Voile would find that tall man would be heading towards him in a bit.

Voile was still unaware of the chaos that was occurring, as he continued to walk in the streets where he was in. However, when his Biometal nudged him, he raised an eyebrow and looked down at him.
"Can we go another way? I sense that annoying ninja nearby."
That annoying ninja? Alki's Biometal. Which meant that Alki should be nearby! He hadn't seen the girl in a bit. Maybe he should go say hello to her.
"Sorry RS, but I'm gonna talk to Alki. Not my fault you and Model S can't get along. Why don't you two just work out whatever issues you have and let him adopt you as his kid, or something?"
Voile had to flatten himself against the wall as Jake suddenly stormed past him, though there were two other people following that he hadn't quite noticed, though could notice him.
"Voile Phare, I hate you."
He did blink as he noticed Model S with Alki nowhere in sight, though he ran towards the Biometal.
"S, where's Alki."

"'Course I'm gonna help! And Imit's gonna help too!"
Imit bit his lip over the fact that Co had said he was going to help. Storming his government's headquarters was normally suicidal, especially considering that they really wanted Biometals. He gave a nod to the woman, though then he noticed the man's face when he mentioned Alki's name.
...Well.
He seemed to know her. And he seemed to know where she was, too. Imit moved out of the way as Jake stormed past him, quickly running to follow him. This was probably suicidal, but he wasn't going to let Co down.
"...Huh-"
Someone had just said Voile's name, and that... guy nearby looked just like him. Voile didn't seem to notice him though... instead the other had beelined for the Biometal and had seemed to know him.
"Legion got her, and apparently she's your friend, so are you coming or not?!" Imit mumbled 'idiot brother' under his breath.

Kris gave pause and looked at Jake in surprise. Okay, Name+Reaction=That girl must be related to Jake in some way.
Annnnd off he went. Between the biometals heading in the same direction, and her potential future bodyguard, she decided that she would follow. Being an expert in mechanics made her helpful in terms of hardware hacking doors open.
"Jake! That girl, Alki. Do you know her?" She asked, having to jog to keep up with Jake's long strides. She couldn't hear the biometals at all, so she was a little out of the loop in some aspects.
