"Do you see them?" Luna whispered to her brother, who was looking through a telescope.

"If I say no, are you gonna throw hot sauce in my eye?" Dusk replied sourly. 

"Of course not," she hissed. "As if I'm going to waste a perfectly good bottle of hot sauce over your ugly mug." 
 
Dusk shrugged it off and continued watching. Through his telescope, he witnessed Team Core-Tech and the Strike Squad battling against one another. From the looks of it, Team Core-Tech was on the edge of defeat, but for some reason, Dusk didn't find it the least surprising, given the fact that the Strike Squad have new Monsuno.

"Why is it that fights like these appear to be one-sided?" Luna groaned.

"If I were to guess, it would be the fact that military companies like STORM don't want to admit that they're sore losers, so they create all sorts of weapons to make them look threatening, but in reality, they're just sheep in wolf's clothing," Dusk stated. 

"For once, we agree on something."

"Yeah. It's kinda weird."

The twins continued to watch the fight, appearing bored with each passing second. Then, a lightbulb clicked in one of their heads. Specifically, Luna's head.

"Hey, weren't we supposed to capture one of the Strikers for Miss Dove?" she asked her brother. The lightbulb now clicked in Dusk's head.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. While we were stalking them, I managed to hit the girl with a tranquilizer, so she should be fainting right about..." 

As if it were on cue, Tango fainted before she could call an attack, ending the fight.

"...Now."

"Were you preparing for that?" Luna deadpanned. 

"For what?" Dusk asked.

"You waited for the exact moment for her to faint so you could say that line. Seriously, that is really cliched."

"Why do you care if what I said was cliched?

"I care because cliches are annoying and anyone who uses them should be removed from this plane of existance."

Once again, the twins got into another arguement, which lasted for at least an hour. Scratch that, they went at it until sundown.

+Present Time+

The twins were now standing near the clothing shop that Core-Tech and the Strike Squad walked in. It has been a whole hour since they first went in, but none of have come out. They were starting to get worried, and 'worried', I mean 'bored'.

"Honestly, I don't get what is it with you girls and clothes," Dusk muttered.

"Hey! I'll have you know that only two girls walked into there!" Luna snapped.

"Yeah, two girls accompanied by eight dudes." Dusk added.

"Your point being?"

"Never mind."

Luna was about to press him further, until she was interrupted.

"So this is where you two have been."

She and Dusk turned around to see a young man with brown eyes and green hair standing next to them. He wore a black and purple suit with black dress shoes.

"Jacob, how's it going?" Dusk asked casually.

"Actually, it's going well," the man answered. "Just did a few intel raids on Eklipse last night. Managed to snag some Monsuno Essence while I was at it too."

Luna sighed. "You know, we would've been okay with 'it's going good', man."

Jacob shrugged. "What can I say? I love going into detail. Now what's going on with you two?"

"Nothing much," Dusk explained. "Just stalked the Strikers and Core-Tech."

"That's good. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them out of your sight."

"Big surprise there," Luna scoffed. 

"I mean it. Miss Dove expects the plan to go without any complications." Jacob glared at the twins. "And that would happen to include your habit of squabbling with one another."

"Come on, man. We don't fight that often," Dusk said defensively.

"24/7. That's how much you little brats fight with each other."

Dusk and Luna looked away while shifting awkwardly.

"What about it? Siblings are known to have spats with each other." Luna said.

Jacob sighed. "Be that as it may, try to keep it down a notch, would you?"

Reluctantly, the twins nodded.

"Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to mess with STORM a little more. Don't get into too much trouble." With that, Jacob walked off, leaving the twins alone.

"So now what?" Dusk asked.

"Same thing we've been doing before," Luna answered. "Stalk those jokers."
Too long. It's been too long.

Hmm. Interesting turn of events. and now we see why Core-Tech and STORM Strike Squad had to team up, because of the two hot heads (well, one REALLY hot head and another, less-hot head). Dusk and Luna certainly argue too much for it to be 'sibling squabbles'.

It certainly has been a while. Cool to see this back up and running.
