Rin looked back over at the destroyed road and then followed Time, pulling up her scarf over her nose. 

For now, it seems like there are no other bombs going off, but people are still panicking. 

At the moment, in an alleyway, Adrik stared at two men in mechanical gear from a window sill, staying hidden in the shadows. He couldn't see their faces due to the helmets they wore, but they looked pretty similar to the attackers. One of them were typing quickly on a computer. 

The one with neon pink hair coming out from under his helmet spoke, "How many left?" 

"five," the other answered, seeming to have long, curly, baby blue hair. 

"If the bombs stop going off for a span of... six minutes, then let's go back," Rin said. Another bomb went off; Rin cringed, her mind telling her to run. She still followed behind Time though, glancing back at the street. 

In the alleyway, the person with the computer announced to the other, "Three left." 

"Man, they set up those things pretty weirdly," the other said, leaning on a wall. "It's going in a counterclockwise direction now, yeah?" 

"Yep," the computer person popped the "p". "Mostly in the left area, where we are, obviously. Everything in the right side of the city has been defused."  

"Oh? That's quick." 

"Yep. Hey, deal with that kid up there. He's breathing too loud and I think he might be starting to hyperventilate." 

The pink-haired one looked up at Adrik, the screen on his helmet flashing "OwO?" And then ":0!". Adrik felt his blood run cold as he stared at the screen facing towards him. The pink-haired person started reaching into his bag. 

(I'm giving y'all a chance to introduce back in the MM and YL lol, unless if you don't want to yet) 

(I never saw "I'll" put in a sentence like that wjdbwjjf) 

A few minutes passed. 

Within those minutes, it was about two (maybe three), the pink-haired man continued searching in his bag. 

"Just, uh, give me a moment, I can't find it, haha," he chuckled, having looked away from Adrik to search for whatever he was looking for. 

"Check the front pocket," the computer typer suggested.

"Huh? Oh, okay." 

Adrik was frozen in place, not sure what to do. Adrik managed to say, "The... you both! Both of you! Bombs! Computer! Bombs!" 

"Huh? Oh, that's why you're all freaked out," pink-hair said, not looking up from his bag. "Makes sense, I would be freaked out too."

Computer typer said, "His breathing is making it hard for me to focus. The faster I can think, the faster all of this will be over with." 

"Over with?" Adrik blinked and then teleported down, grabbing the computer and trying to pull it away. 

The computer typer tried pulling it back, surprised by this suddenness. He huffed, "Hey, kid! Let go of it!" 

"No! It's your fault!" 

Pink-hair tried to help computer typer by trying to pick up Adrik, in which Adrik shrieked at the top of his lungs in Glitchian. 

Rin paused, hearing the sudden screaming. She looked at Time and then the direction of the screaming, making out the words. 

"A...Oh gods-" Rin ran off towards the sound of Adrik screaming bloody murder. Basically, in translation, Adrik was screaming for help and a bunch of insults he learned from Rin. Maybe a few... profanities he picked up from her as well (he doesn't know the words are curses), but mostly insults. 

(XD, I think you meant "I will" but put it as "I'll" and it's kinda cursed) 

Pink-hair let Adrik go, but still tried to gently pull him away from the computer typer while saying, "Honestly, I have no idea at this point." 

The computer typer huffed again while pulling his computer away, standing up while continuing to type. He answered to the figure, "Trying to get work done." 

Adrik was still screaming (starting to cry a bit) and started to kick at the guy's leg, trying to get him to drop the computer. Pink-hair somewhat backed away from Adrik, seeing that he probably wouldn't be able to get him to calm down. 

In response to Adrik's kicks, the typer replied coolly, "Try the other one. This one's a prosthetic you're kicking." 

Adrik screamed louder, saying something about the bombs. It was pretty hard to understand because he was speaking fast and wasn't chill at the moment. 

Pink-hair looked over at the figure, the helmet screen flashing a "^ ^°". 

Rin replied to Time, "That's Adrik's screaming!" 

She wasn't slowing down any for Time.

(Nooo) 

"Huh? Oh! Oh! Wait! His screaming makes sense now!" Pink-hair snapped his fingers as the puzzle piece came together in his mind. "Oh! Alois! He thinks we're setting off those things!" 

The computer typer, Alois, said, "Makes sense some, yea." 

Adrik quieted down, stopping his screaming for a moment to say shakily, "You are! People are hurt because of you!" 

"No, no, kid! He's hacking the bombs to stop them, like they do in movies," pink-hair said calmly, screen changing to ">v<!". "He's defusing them." 

​Alois muttered, "One left, might not defuse it in time." He was typing hard, looking pretty focused. 

Rin growled at Time, "Hurry up!" She noticed Adrik had stopped screaming and started running faster, the memory of Lillian's kidnapping starting to resurface. 

"Well, there were originally fifteen bombs, so I say I'm doing better than nothing," Alois mumbled back. 

"Almost didn't find them at all, they're so well hidden," pink-hair nodded. 

Rin sped around the corner to see the whole group of people standing in the alleyway. Her eyes landed immediately on the mechanical, cyber punk-like men who looked real similar to the attackers. 

Her immediate response was to start to get in a fighting stance, but Adrik ran up to her and hugged Rin while exclaiming, "Rin-Rin!" 

Rin looked completely disgusted by the physical, affectionate contact. 

Rin peeled Adrik off of her, mumbling about how he shouldn't have ran off. 

"Aaaaand, last bomb defused with two seconds to spare," Alois smiled, closing his computer. 

The pink-haired man asked Time, "Which introduction do you want, A or B? Both are equally fitting."

"Ah! Good choice!" pink-hair nodded (^ ^). "Okay, okay, give us a sec!" 

He went over to Alois and took the computer, gently putting it into his bag as they spoke quietly to each other. They both nodded and then activated some kind of rollerblades on their feet. 

Swiftly, they skated around the rest of the group and back to where they originally where, rather in a excessive and theatrical way as they did a few spins and tricks. They linked arms and with the other arm they took off their helmets, the pink-hair grinning like a dork and Alois looking tired but content. 

Pink-hair introduced himself with, "Remember my name forever! I'm Alma Amour, former theater actor, inventor, doctor, and run-away Multi-reality Spy!" 

The computer typer presented himself with, "Alois Finnick, former mechanic, computer coder, lawyer, and run-away Multi-reality Spy." 

They both posed dramatically, probably looking pretty humourous while doing so. 

Alma, somehow now with a rose between his lips (when did that get there???), and Alois with a silly wink both said together in the most anime-like tone and style, "Together we are the Rogue Duo! Wanted by our own people for derailing the immoral acts against other dimensions!" 

...What just happened? 

Rin slowly blinked, trying to comprehend the flamboyance of the two guys who were both standing there in their stagy, exaggerated poses. 

Adrik clapped politely, complimenting them on the... "introduction" they did. 

Alma looked pretty young, maybe 23 or 24. The really noticeable traits on him was that one of his eyes were a milky white, unlike the striking blue his other eye was, indicating that he was blind in that eye. He seemed to wear some makeup (which was a bit smudged) and his hair was messy and frizzy from being under that motorcycle helmet. 

Alois looked a bit older than Alma, having a calmer and sleepier attitude. His visble eye was golden and round, above it being an eyebrow piercing. Most of his hair was tied back, but whatever wasn't was either sticking to his face in sweat or frizzy and standing a bit in the air messily. He was breathing a bit quickly, as if trying to catch his breath. 

"...And we just defused the bombs! Now all we have to do is pick them up and take them apart," Alma smiled, unlinking his arm from Alois, now starting to feel the awkwardness. 

Rin stared at them. Yeah no, her brain wasn't going to comprehend this. 

 

Alma started looking in his bag again. 

"Oh! Hey! I found it!" Alma smiled, pulling out a Rubix Cube. He skated towards Adrik and held out the colorful block to him. 

"Kid, try playing with this when you freak out. It'll help you focus and calm down." 

Adrik took it slowly inspected it, raising an eyebrow. He slowly turned one of the rows and beamed, not really sure how it worked but liking the little click noise it made and how colourful it was. 

Adrik showed Time and Rin, jumping up and down. 

"Cube! Cube! Cube!" 

He then told Alma, "Thank you!" 

Adrik turned back to Time and Rin again, showing them the Rubix Cube. 

"Look! Look! It's colorful!" He turned one of the rows. "It makes a click-click noise! Look! Cube!" 

(Did you mean "our side"?) 

"I suppose so," Alma nodded. 

"Sure," Alois shrugged. 

Rin noticed this too, but didn't really care while Adrik was too occupied by figuring out the Rublix Cube to pay attention to anyone else. 

Rin mumbled, "I'm... going to go see... if anyone is hurt from... the bombs..." 

She started walking off, not waiting for anyone else.
