Another day, of course...
Wakes up on the bed, Koith feels his head trying to kill him. The last thing he remembered is the new robots bring him back to their lab in order to help him recover his lost memories. But, he passed that day with nothing, except this bad headache. "Maybe I need a rest." Koith talks for himself, then he turns on the TV...
The screen is on, something terrible came out. It's the alley where blood and cracks everywhere. On every feet of ground, the gangsters lying, crawling and weeping in agony and despair. "What's the hell just happened?" KM-08 doesn't believe into his eyes. He sees police officers are answering to the reporter, suspecting a robot caused these destructions, but who is still in the dark...

Zero sees that the blood is going in the opposite direction the ambulance took the men.
"The meta may have trailed their blood.", he tells himself.
Using his optic view, Zero tracks the blood trail. Deeper and deeper into the forest it takes him, far beyond the city limits.
He come across a crushed structure. A sweep of x-ray vision reveals an underground bunker. He can see mostly electronics, which would impede his ability to single out a robot.
In other words, he doesn't know what's down there.
Zero lands on the site and searches for an entrance.

Champ shook his head as he raced to the scene of the crime. He really ought to stop expecting any form of peace to last. Just when he'd been getting relaxed something like this happened. That was always how it was, of course, but it never stopped surprising him. Or frustrating him.
By the time he arrived the scene had been taped off by Skyway Patrol. Not feeling like getting caught he decided to stick to the rooftops to see what he could pick out. He had just managed to get an angle of the scene that he liked from a nearby roof when a voice caught his attention.
"You can stop trying to play spy up there, Champ," It called, a hint of sarcasm lacing the words, "You've never really been any good at it anyway."
Champ rolled his eyes, dropping from the roof and right in front of a Skyway Officer.
"Morning, Blair," He said.
His sister smiled, leaning against the wall.
"I'm on duty," She said, feigning annoyance, "It's Officer Mars."
Champ rolled his eyes, annoyed with his sister's attempt to get him to acknowledge her authority.
"Alright then Officer Mars," He said, "What've we got?"
She started to walk towards the scene, which was being closely examined by a plethora of other officers.
"Assault on a few gang members by a meta, we're unsure of the motive," She said, "We've got no security footage, so we don't have any real leads as to their identity, but they're extremely powerful, whoever they are, and either they don't have any restraint or they really felt that those thugs deserved the beating of a lifetime."
She frowned then, placing her hands behind her head.
"On top of that," She said, "We suspect that this was meant to be an act of vigilante justice."
Champ raised an eyebrow, wondering what she was getting at.
"I take it that's a bad thing," He said.
She nodded grimly, looking back at the scene as several officers started to work cleaning the blood from the damaged walls.
"Yeah," She said, "I'm going to level with you, bro, this is bad. Skyway's always had a fairly tenuous relationship with vigilantes, but we've tolerated you guys because you help get things done efficiently, and usually you don't do any more permanent damage than we do. But we're lucky that all of the guys involved in this scuffle came out of it alive. If this is the direction vigilantes are going than Skyway is going to have to crack down."
She looked at him, and he noticed that she seemed almost sad.
"Which means I'm going to have to ask you to join the Patrol or hang up your sword," She said.
He frowned, considering this. She had been suggesting that he should join up with the patrol for a while now, as a show of good faith between the vigilantes of Tremorton and the Patrol, but he still wasn't sure. As much as he didn't mind working alongside his sister he wasn't sure he was ready for the restrictions it would place on him. Not yet, anyway. He knew that odds were good that he'd have to join Skyway later if he wanted to keep working to protect the people he loved. But for now he wasn't sure if he was ready.
As he looked he saw a trickle of blood leading from the scene. Out of curiosity he decided to see where it led.
"Hey, Champ," Blair said, "At least consider that offer."
"Right," He said, nodding distractedly, "I'll think about it." ***
Colette sighed as she looked around the lab. She had been working to restore Koith's memory the night before, but the robot had vanished on her before she could get any real work done, and now she didn't even know where he was. On top of that someone was damn near beating thugs to death if the news was to be believed, and she had a sinking feeling that her patient might just be that someone. She rolled her eyes, stretching and going to find the Vector suit. She had been enjoying her time off from vigilantism. Unfortunately all good things had to pass it seemed.

Opening the wooden creaking door and levels of garbage mounts welcome Koith. He's back to his junkyard where he re-lived again. He didn't even realize that was not too far away from Tremorton, the city that the robot from yesterday called. Just live in here, and Koith feels like his own home. "Yeah, maybe I was born from this place, of course."
But, he needs to find out who is the true culprit of the alley rampage. But if he faces the enemy who could be far stronger than him? Better to be ready. Combat knife are ready, but guns...The one which sticked with Koith through many years before his death now became a rusty hot-dog. But, his holster still happy because there's another good one when KM-08 firstly visited this shack. Night Hawk, an improved Desert Eagle with AP shells, perfectly fit in meta combat. Everything set, and Koith moves out.
To the alley where the brawl began, Koith a bit confused with everything toward his eyes. The blood and cracks everywhere. Polices are still doing their jobs, so Koith can't step inside the field. But, he saw bloodstains, from heading to the place where's still unknown. Follow the trail , it leads Koith to abandoned building. Around this place, KM-08 found more stains on the wall, or not being a trail like before. "That guy was hurt, and now he being hunted! This building probably the place he got in!". Pulls out the gun, Koith steps slowly to the door, holds his breath and re-thinks his mission again: "Find and rescue the wounded, and avoid fighting as possible!". Then, Koith opens the door and steps in. It's too dark inside, but not a problem with night-vision eyes. Following the bloodstains, KM-08 saw a guy panting at the side, his face looks so terrible. It must be the wounded! Koith lowers his gun and running toward that guy.
-Hey, you're ok?-He asked
Then Koith looks into the wounds. It's too serious, he can't hold it any longer. "I have to call some medical evac!", KM-08 mumbled while he was placing down a signal beacon which can attract the radar in this area.
Put the pressure on those bleeding wounds, Koith hopes he got more arms to do that. "Come on, stay with me, kamerad!"

Unknown to Koith, somebody else in the building; currently in dark room where nobody can see and hear from outside
"SCANNING.."
From the mystery person's eyes, everything is pink with analyse mode. The person is scanning Koith from the dark room.
"IDENTIFIED AS ENEMY. PIRIOITY ONE: DESTROY ALL ENEMIES"
The mysterious person ambused in shadow with high speed and thus, appeared from behind and ready to hit Koith with a baseball bat that stained with small blood

"WATCH OUT!!!" the wounded guy uses all of his strength to alert Koith. KM-08 turns back, he sees a shadow with a pink eyes swinging the blood-stained baseball bat into him. Covers the wounded, Koith evades that swing, it hit to the concrete pillar and leaves a huge crack. "This must be da one rez'ponsible for that brawl!" Raises the gun toward that mysterious person, Koith says:
-FREEZE!!!

The shadow being clearly seen when sunlight revealed the dark areas. Turn out to be a meta; a teenage robot girl with short pink hair with green ribbon at her head. Her eyes were glowing pink and she was holding the blood-stained baseball bat. Her body and clothes look messy as she was covered with little dirt.
Suprising though, her appearence doesn't seems like fighting-type. More like a normal life robot.
"......", she just stand there

"A robot-girl?". Koith didn't think the culprit is female, he just thought about a strong and lethal man-like robot, not girl. But the fact, she holding the blood-stained baseball bat, her looks messy too. If she is unharmed, she won't have that bad-look.
That pink robot stays silent and nothing too aggressive at the outside. Lowers the gun, Koith steps closer to her, his alertness still on top and also the warning from behind: "Don't...she's the one who nearly-killed me...!"
"Those eyez'en...I hav' to stay alert!" Koith mumbled. But, he suddenly put his gun to the floor and make some steps backward. That girl still silent with her glowing pink eyes-that never be a good sign-KM-08 says calmly:
-It's alright! Just drop your bat down, and no one will hurt you. Ok?

"SCANNING.."
While her eyes were scanning, there's an unknown disturbance. That can be seen when the round crystal at her shirt released small red voltages.
"WARNING: VIRUS DET-T-E---"
When the crystal change from light pink to red, her left hand grabbed Koith's neck tightly.
"PIRIOTY ONE", her eyes now glowed red as well, "ELIMINATION"
She hold him above with uncontrollable massive strength.

"Schiss..." Koith gurgles, while trying to break free from that hand. It's getting tighter, if not get out fast, KM-08 could be killed. Uses all of his strength, Koith kicks that girl far away, then he rolls back to his pistol on the ground. The gun rises up again, and this time, into the crystal that robot carries on. His knife also ready for CQC, but not kill that girl. His aims is to snap that robot out of being control by her crystal.
"Don't make me hav' to do that, lady!"-Koith threatened the robot girl.

The robot girl gets up a bit after being kick. She could no longer response to anyone because of her condition.
"......", A square mark at her left waist open and there's something came out from it. She took it from her waist and thus, it become a saber.
She run towards Koith with speed like ninja.

That girl refused and sprints into Koith with her saber. Takes every milisecs, KM-08 evades the slash. But, he didn't use gun to retalliate, but his combat knife. "I kan't kau'se unexpected consequence'n!". KM-08's blade flashes under the sun, and he aims to the robot's crystal.

"NGH..!", The girl avoid by block using saber and move back. Her crystal had a small crack due to the sunlight that was refleted by him. However, the red voltages being released a bit bigger
She kneel down but just to drop her saber. Then she pointed her paw hand at him. Pink energy appeared; charging from her hand. She released the energy towards Koith. He better avoid that
At same time, from outside, the pink energy blow up a floor's wall. It had cause those who happens to be at the scene could see that

BAMM!!! A huge crash sounded. Luckily, Koith was fast enough to avoid it. The shot carried the enormous power which turn the wall behind him into a big hole. Hides under the shadows, he dashes to behind of that robot. But, he doesn't hit her, instead saving the wounded from behind, before she could kill him. Place him at the another place, he just asks:
-Gimme your pistol, pal...I'll cover you!
-Nein!-KM-08 answered-She k'ould kill you, too! I kan't risk losing someone else'!
-Then, I'll do it...-That gangster says while he pulls Koith's pistol out of his holster-Now go! She'll see us!
"Ja!" Koith says "Good luck, kamerad!". Then, he dashes back to the place where he begins-next to the big hole before that girl saw him. Koith charges again, his blade flashing like a bolt of lightning. It's the Blitz-mode, Koith's special potentials which he can use in special situations.
"You want Blitz? I'll give you Blitz!"
And now, he strikes for a full-scale attack, with all of weapons he has.

Champ had been following the blood trail for several minutes before it led him to a nearby building. The structure looked abandoned, but of course that hardly meant that it was. A smirk crossed his face.
"An abandoned warehouse for a hideout?" He said, "Geez, at least try to be a little original."
He was about to enter when a blast sent him backwards, and he looked up to see a hole torn in the wall, the sounds of metal colliding with metal ringing through the air. He sighed, pulling himself to his feet and drawing his sword.
"Guess I got here right in time," He said, racing into the building and looking for the cause of the chaos. ***
Colette had been on her way to the crime scene when her AI interrupted her flight.
"Ma'am," It said in it's monotone, "An unknown energy signature has been detected in the abandoned warehouse district."
She raised an eyebrow, somewhat confused by this statement.
"Tremorton has an abandoned warehouse district?" She asked.
The AI seemed to consider this for a moment.
"I suppose it was just a warehouse district at some point," He said, "But given the nature of this city it was abandoned rather hastily."
Colette nodded, seeing the logic of this. In any other city she would ask why these warehouses hadn't been demolished already, but this was Tremorton, and things like this were to be expected.
"I assume you'll want to investigate?" The AI droned.
Colette grinned.
"Of course," She said, "What kind of a hero OR scientist would I be if I didn't get excited at unexplained readings."
"A poorer one than you already are," The AI quipped.
Colette frowned, but said nothing. Instead she silently started to calculate how long it would take to reprogram Vincent's AI to make him sound more like Wheatley and less like GlaDOS.
