((Yeah, I would not mind a time jump once the fight is over.))
Tron and her sniper eased as the serpent slithered off, the pirate surprised. A reaverbot that size never ran away like that before.
"That was strange," she muttered, scratching her chin.
She stopped when she heard the hatch open. Thinking it was a servbot, she whirled around, ready to chew the unfortunate thing out.
"HEY! YO-"
Her cheeks grew pink. That was NOT a servbot at all. Recognition quickly kicked in before the boy could reply.
"Wait a moment! You're that boy! What are you...? How did you?! How dare you!"

Cerberus stared. "This unit apologizes for the trouble it has caused," he said, remembering how impressive Servitor Units had always sounded.
"My- I mean, its only motive was to shut your- no- I- you-"
He looked again at Tron's furious face, and cowered like a frightened dog. "I-I am sworn not to harm the C-carbons... This uni- I mean, I would appreciate it if... please don't hurt me... I'll explain everything! I-"
he thought for a moment, wondering what a Carbon like this would want. They were Diggers after all- No, Air Pirates.
"I can help you find treasure..." he said, hoping that the Carbon's lust for riches would overcome her better judgement.

Tron studied the boy as he had cowered, amused by his behavior. About time someone knew their place. But what was his talk about? Units? He must have been one of those homeless nuts.
Well, or so she had figured.
Her eyebrow still was raised at the word "treasure." The expression softened.
"Treasure, huh?" the pirate's grin was sly, malicious. She could care less if the boy was lying or not; he was too much to not want to toy around with. She could have sworn he acting just like a little (shudder) dog. "What's it to you, kid?"
The sniper servbot was quiet, watching the scene.
((... Ah make some of the DUMBEST typos. XD *le giggle*))

Cerberus realized that Tron was probably not going to hurt him yet, and straitened up.
"There's something I've been searching for... for a long time..." he said. "It's probably hidden deep in a ruin, along with lots of treasure. All I ask is that you bring me along. I can show you ruins that humans have never entered before."
he thought for a moment, and decided that he needed all the reasons he could think of. "And instead of having to kill Reaverbots, they could become your soldiers."
He realized suddenly how fantastic this story sounded, and added, "I can prove it, too."

Tron dropped the playful act and stared at the boy in disbelief. She still bought his story, for now at least. The idea of nests of Reaverbots at her command surrounded by piles and piles of riches was enticing. Very enticing. Teisel could buy all the nose-hair-clipper-back-scratchers he wanted and they would still have enough for an island! (Of course, she was exaggerating what the boy might have known.)
"Reaverbots? Under our control?" Number One stuttered, a clamp at his "chin."
"Shush," Tron whispered in a hushed tone, speaking as if the boy was not there. "We'll ditch'em if he's lying. And don't worry, we'll make him regret it. No one pulls anything over the Bonnes and gets away with it!"
The servbot smiled as Tron winked and turned her attention back to the stranger, her tone back to normal - arrogant and bright as ever.
"You can come with us then. We have what we need anyway. Teisel should have hijacked us a little something by now." The pirate turned around and messed with the Kaizer's radio transmitter as the servbots outside on foot bounded to the other lower hatch.
Now, what was the frequency again...?
Oh.
As she fiddled and maneuvered around Number One, she slightly turned her head to the side, glancing back at the boy out of the corner of her eye.
"By the way, what's your name?"
((Oh yeah. Allllmost time for a time jump. Hold your pants and horses and pies, SIM.))

"I'm Cerberus," he said. It was hard for him not to show his excitement at finally being able to search any ruin he wanted. All he had to do was make sure they found some treasure and got a few Reaverbots to come with them. He thought for a moment, and realized that Tron had mentioned stealing a vehicle. He didn't like the idea of taking what another Carbon had worked for, but then again, he had already promised to lead this one to riches. Disobeying the Mothers' orders again couldn't possibly drag him any lower, he figured. As Tron walked off, he turned to a random Servbot. "What is the name of your mistress?" he asked quietly. "She ran off before I could ask her." [OOC: ((Oh yeah. Allllmost time for a time jump. Hold your pants and horses and pies, SIM.)) Be careful, though, SIM, because if you try to put the pies and horses into the pants, you'll have a lot of laundry to do. ]

Tron shuddered at the name. That was a three-headed... dog, right?
"Very cute," she snorted to herself as she signaled to Teisel.
Regardless of Tron's attitude, Number One, the only servbot in the Kaizer's small control "room," was smiling at Cerberus as it was a polite thing to do. Miss Tron told him to be polite to strangers if he was allowed to talk to them. Anything to make Miss Tron happy!
"Hi, I'm a servbot! You may call me Number One," the robot nodded before turning to Tron, who had successfully made contact with Teisel. "As for your question, that's Miss Tron! She's nice, most of the time. I think we'll be great friends, if it's okay with Miss Tron that is."
Just outside of the Kaizer, all the servbots (Six, it seems - the rest were spread out around the city or accompanying Teisel) that had raided the city were boarding. Most of the people, being tourists with no interest in getting hurt, had ran so they were fortunate in the fact that no one was brave enough to chase them.
Tron suddenly turned around back to Cerberus and Number One.
"Sit tight, Teisel's on his way," she announced, appearing more approachable and less likely to break someone's face this time. "Make sure the hatch is shut before anyone else can hop in!"
Number One's response was automatic: he went to go check.

[OOC: will the time jump happen after Teisel comes? It's confusing me!]
Cerberus walked a few steps, then remembered. He turned and waved. "Don't worry, Mistress Tron, the hatch will be checked!"
He ran after Servbot 1, and jumped up onto the Kaizer, hoping to impress his new mistress. All he succeeded in doing was sliding off and landing on his rear. This thing looked a lot smaller from above, he thought. But Mistress Tron had told him to shut the hatch, and that was what he had to do.
"It seems we've encountered a problem, Number One," he said.

((I was intending for it to happen soon. Whenever you want, really. I'M DOWN WIT IT, YO!))
Mistress Tron... Nice touch.
Tron heard the ruckus but did not bother to look back. She rolled her eyes and continued to tweak with the radio system, trying to gather up the servbots around the city that had set up the assault.
"Hurry," she hissed to herself. "Outside help has to be on the way by now."
In her panic, she looked back.
"Gah! Number One! I told you to check the hatch! As in shut it! Not goof off!"
Number One, who was scampering to Cerberus' aid, replied, "Cerberus said we have a problem, Miss Tron!"
"A what?" she hollared back, massaging her temples. Now what?
"Uh, what is the problem?" the servbot asked, looking in Cerberus' direction.

He leaned over to the Servbot and whispered, "I can't remember where the hatch was... but that's okay, because you know it, right?"
He looked at Tron, and called, "It's okay, Mistress Tron. We're just coming up with a plan on closing the hatch."

"Uh," the servbot frowned. "Miss Tron never showed me where it was before. I'm still learning where everything is!"
Before the matter could be worsened or fixed, the pirate was storming towards them, impatient. She easily found the hatch Cerberus had presumably used and shut it, cursing how it had to be pushed closed. It was locked.
"I'm not in the mood for it," she growled, hardly glancing at the both of them. "It's bad enough something screwed up and I need to reoil the stupid thing. I have no time watch you two stand around like that!"
As Tron stood up and kicked the hatch, just to make sure whoever that would try to get it would stay out, the radio buzzed back to life:
"Tron! Tron! You there? About time I found you! You have any idea how hard it was to jack a ship big enough for that monster you made? Nevermind that! We're getting out of this place! I found a place to lay low on the other side of the island. We still need to find Bon, you know!"
"And we got pizza for free!" chirped a high-pitched voice.
Tron suddenly perked up, the crabby demenor gone without a trace, and ran back to the radio. "Teisel! Boys! Couldn't you have arrived any later?"
Number One still was there, now cheering and bouncing up and down. "Yay! Master Teisel's here!"
((Again, time Jump whenever you please. XP))

[OOC: Let's explain the whole treasure thing to Teisel first, and then time jump.]
Cerberus glanced at the jumping Servbot, wondering if it was necessary for all of Mistress Tron's servants to behave that way. He also wondered what in the world pizza was, but he didn't ask that, knowing he would sound stupid.
Finally, he decided to sit near the Kaizer and wait for Master Teisel's return.

In time, as Tron shouted at her robot children, the hijacked ship landed. It was a massive thing, nowhere near the size of the Gesellschaft but it was large enough to carry all of them at once. One had to wonder how Teisel could make off with such a craft.
Tron, however, was about as stressed as ever, the large robot starting to burn and overheat as it motioned for the servbots to hurry inside. The authorities and backup were almost there, the Bonnes expecting an all-out assault on them at any moment.
"And the authorities are after me too!" Teisel barked over to the Kaizer. "Come on! Come on! Let's get out of here before we're all in even bigger trouble! When was the last time we made off with such a haul?" The sounds of chewing could be heard afterwards.
One of the servbots scurrying about glanced up at Cerberus. "I don't know who you are, sir, but since Miss Tron doesn't mind you, I think it's time to go."
The large ship's bay from its backend was open and ready. Tron did not bother with her little walking potential treasure trove, figuring he would get the idea from her servbots and follow.

*And then came MegaMan, too late to save the day.*
MegaMan: Oh man.... if only I didn't follow Fenril like that. Roll? Do you think we should take them on?
Roll: Hmmm.. I dunno. What do you think?
OOC: I'll cut it here, in so we can discuss another fight or not. Put it in the discussion board!
