Futuristic An Agent of Maniacles

[Exzalia]

Two Owls.​

Kostsu tackles her against the wall, several sharp instruments impale him but he fights through it, ripping off one of her legs, he goes to impale her but her spike is still in his shoulder and she tosses her up, he smashes against the ceiling.

Fizz launches his attack, she raises one of her appendages to block his blow and he smashes right through it sending her saw flying, but it is enough to dullen it's impact against her reinforced head. She bats him away with a drill and lunges for Joe 01.

The earth arrow hits home cutting through three of her legs, the fire one impales her torso but still she persists crashing to the ground and sliding towards them leaking oil and spilling parts.

She screams. "WHY ARE YOU ALL SO MEAN!"

Quentins fire melts the remainder of her armor, and Kotsu returns with her leg in hand. He leaps in the air driving her leg towards her chest as was his original plan.

"STOP!"

A mental barrier flashes around Joe 77 shielding her from certain destruction. Kotsu attack is rebuffed and he staggers back confused.

It was yellow Owl. "Don't kill her." She says.

"Are you nuts?" Blue owl asks

"You feel sorry for her too don't you me?" Yellow owl says. "We don't need to kill her, she's, she's just another victim. She's not the enemy."

"She's a figment of Joes imagination." Blue owl counters.

"Yes, and in this realm our thoughts take on a sort of life, isn't that what happened with Quentin?" Yellow Owl floats over to Joe 77 who was little more than a pile of half melted scraps. She was crying in that insane way a mad woman cries waling and twitching unnervingly.

"I won't let it end like this." yellow owl says with a vow. "The Mainiacles might kill innocents for the greater good, but I won't."

"you're a fool." Blue owl says.

"I'm you."

Blue Owl snorts. "I buried my compassion a long time ago, and you with it."

"Yes buried, but never gone that's why when you lost your memories you turned into me, into your true self. I was always there me, telling you right from wrong, making you feel. It was me who reacted to the civilians being slaughtered, and me who made you feel compassion for Kotsu when you read his mind, and me who convinced you vampires were not all bad. And now I'm telling you that killing her is wrong and you know I'm right."

Blue Owl crosses her arms. "The heart is not always right, trust your head first. It's not wise to let her live, she'll recover, she'll come after us again." Blue owl turns to the others. "Please talk some sense into me?"

A figment of imagination

Is that what you want Fizzy, the Roy, Pop?

/////////////////

The sound of a gun being fired and a bullet crashing against the shield

"Tch. We should just finish this abomination before it bites our asses" Stated Fizzy after his failed murder attempt

 

[mmarage]

The twins looked at Owl quietly. "...Owl. This... is the only mercy that we can give her. It... would be far more cruel to continue to force her to live." 01 said, he didn't want to tell her... didn't want to tell them... they'd let a little slip earlier, but... he supposed it was time to let them know. "...Our bodies are imperfect, Owl. They can't be sustained. They degenerate over time. You all noticed that we shaved our heads before we got into the pods, yeah? That's... because our hair was very thin at that point. We could just lie about it and say that we were trying a new style and messed up or something. First it's a little bit of hair loss... and then you start losing nails and teeth... then your bones begin to get weak and brittle, to the point that just putting your body weight on it will cause it to break. Your skin can't hold itself together soon, you start losing your extremities, then limbs, and then, any tiny movement just rends the skin apart. Eventually, the body just melts altogether into... well... quite the disgusting sludge. It's nothing but pain, and throughout it all, the researchers and scientists will be by your side, forcing you to stay conscious, forcing you to live for as long as possible until your body finally gives out. Supposing that she does have a life, the end result will be the same, just like the rest of the Joes. Just like us in the end." He explained.

The two just looked at Owl, they... couldn't stand to look at the others. "Do you see why she should have a quick, dignified death, Owl?" 02 asked.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu calmed down his rage and stared at Yellow Owl. "She tried to harm Joe. They're our friends, Owl. I fight to protect what and who I love to keep them safe. And if I was stronger when you got hurt by the Andras like I'm stronger now, you wouldn't be dealing with this." Kotsu gripped the leg so tightly it bent at an unusual angle. He listened to what the Joes told Owl and tried to calm himself down more. "If she didn't attack us, we wouldn't have attacked back. Though they may want to offer her peace, I only live to protect what I care about. Because I refuse to lose my family again." Kotsu stared deep into Yellow Owl's eyes. "And you need to be careful. Don't protect everyone. She could turn around and snap on you next. And I won't forgive myself for failing you again."

Kotsu looked at the Blue Owl as well. "I'm also not some mindless machine that just thinks of taking care of a problem. If she becomes our ally, that's fine. But the second she pulls another stunt like what she did to the Joe's, I'm done." Kotsu kept a firm grip on the mechanical leg in his hand "Y'all so quick to shoot first and ask questions later but then question Denton? Y'all some fuckin' hypocrites." Kotsu was clearly pissed.

 

[Exzalia]

Yellow owl looks at the Joes saddened by the revelation. Even Blue owl seems effected by it.

"I am sorry joe." blue owl says sadly. "You won't be forgotten."

"You're not dead yet!" Yellow Owl shouts at the Joes angrily. "Why are you talking like it's already over? You're alive aren't you? Fight back, find a way, live out your bucket list if you want, but don't just roll over and give up! Maybe there is a clue in here for all we know? Something that can extend your life, I'll help, but don't you dare give up."

Yellow Owl spins to Kotsu. "there is more to life than me. There is right and wrong, you ought to care about that just as much...if not more!"

Joe 77, moves, she is muttering to her self hysterically. "I failed, even with this new body, I'm a failed Joe clone, I failed again, I failed again, I failed again" She was beginning to crawl away heading deeper into the darkness, their opportunity to finish her was beginning to slip.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu stared back at Yellow Owl with fierce eyes. "Do NOT speak to me as if it's just you that plagues my mind! Denton lost his hand, Joe lost his leg, Sam and even Fizzy we're almost mortally wounded! The twins! They're DYING and the only thing I could do was stroke your hair while you were passed out to stay calm, so don't talk to me about right or wrong!" Kotsu snapped at Owl which was definitely not like him. His breathing started to slow as he calmed himself, and tears started to flow down his cheek. "I already told them it's unfair for me to lose my friends... I don't want to lose them. Or any of you." Kotsu dropped the mechanical leg in his hand. He was too tired to fight anymore from all the weight he carried from blaming himself.

 

[mmarage]

The twins looked away from Owl. "...We... don't want to extend our lives." They said after a moment, before straightening up and looking at Owl. "If... if we do, then Denton would give that knowledge to the researchers... and then they'd have armies of clones at their disposal. Owl... if they can create clones of powerful people... what's to say they can't target their personalities, their memories. They... The Maniacles... they would have armies of mindless, obedient killing machines. That thought... that thought scares us. Not... only that. Owl, you see all of this around you, the supernatural, the existence of life after death... that... has been barred from us the moment we were created. It's one thing to not know if there is something after you're dead. It's another thing to know that once you're gone, nothing is going to be waiting for you. To... have a full life... and know that at the end of it, that's it... it's... terrifying. We don't have souls. We... shouldn't even exist, Owl. We're... we're abominations. Our... only hope is to have a peaceful death. Once we leave here, there's nothing we can do, we will be escorted right back to the research facility, where they'll keep us alive, experiment on our bodies, and then just pour our remains down a drain. We're clones. Expendable. Replaceable. Have you not seen all the things they've done to the others that were once alive?" 01 asked, gesturing to 77, gesturing backwards to where they'd seen all of the dying and mutilated Joes.

"We're not going to have peaceful last days. We're not going to be surrounded by people we love. We're going to be poked, prodded, tortured, and have god only knows what happen to us. Death... is the only escape that we have. We've... long since accepted that. There's no way in Hell that we're going to let the Maniacles get what they want from us. That... that is our fight to the very end. We're not going to struggle, or try to cling to life. We're not going to try and help them extend our lives." 02 said, a fierce look of determination in his eyes. Even though he knew that his future was bleak, he wasn't going to run from it, because he knew that was exactly what the Maniacles would want.

 

[Exzalia]

Once we leave here, there's nothing we can do, we will be escorted right back to the research facility, where they'll keep us alive, experiment on our bodies, and then just pour our remains down a drain. We're clones. Expendable. Replaceable. Have you not seen all the things they've done to the others that were once alive?"

"No, no your not going to end like that!" Yellow owl says sternly. "I will destroy the Mianiacles first before I let that happen!"

"That...we can agree on." Blue owl says lowly, "And I'm sure Kostsu will agree isn't that right mister I don't want my friends to suffer?."

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu's horns had gone away, and his eyes had gone back to normal. "If I didn't know any better, I'd swear you were poking fun at me with your memories in tact." Kotsu smiled a little bit. A sad smile, wishing hopefully in that statement as well, but knowing it was pointless. He took a shakey breath. "I'm going to help you in whatever way I can, you two." Kotsu said to Joe 01 and 02. "You're my friends. I'm never going to let them clone you again."

 

[Kinggunlucky]

A boot crashed in front of the monstrosity that was the female Joe. Denton. He'd been watching the battle from a distance, staying out of the firing line. This thing was by far one of the ugliest creatures he'd ever seen. Why even make a female copy of Joe?

He hid the disgust on his face, keeping a neutral expression. Kotsu had said redemption could start here. Start now. Denton didn't buy it. Bad men stay bad, but not every action need to be done out of selfish behavior or for the good of Maniacles.

So Denton did what always did. He hid how he felt, masked it with perfection. The disgust he was feeling gave way to fascinating and fascination to admiration. He smiled at the Female Joe, crouching to get on her level, extending a gentle hand.

"You're quite beautiful," he said, voice genuine. "The injuries are quite bad, but they don't cover it up. You have a certain grace about you. I saw it when you were fighting."

"It does not matter, nothing matters, I am not Joe enough, and I could not get the doctors patients so I am a failure."

"Failure is the name of the game pretty lady. We all do it, but failure doesn't have to be the end. The best of us learn from failure, use it to make us better," he said. "How long have you been here?"

"I lived for about nine months, just long enough to see is I was fertile and then I was killed for being to diffrent." She looks up at him with mad eyes. "But if I had looked like Joe I would have lived a year, or if I had had this body I would have lived forever! Yes, yes,yes if I do what the doctor wants he will fix me and maybe he will let me out of the dream world!"

A memory leaving the dream world was in impossibility of course, but what was impossible to the mad?

Denton considered her words. No matter how improbable. He patted her head. He had a choice to make. A difficult one. She was violent, volatile, and clearly obsessed with this doctor. Pulling stuff back from here was possible...HQ did have the portal technology. "This is no place for a young woman. Not here. Not The Sandlands. You can come with us. We'll take you with us when we leave here."

Her eye's widen. "You can take me out? I can enter the real world again!"

"I should think so....?" Denton wasn't entirely sure, but the way he understood it was the portals went both ways. In some form anyway. He'd have to ask Ward more about the next conversation they had. "The people I work have portal technology. It should work. If not that I'll find a way for you to get out of here. I've heard there are ways, but they can be difficult."

He looked behind him into the dark hallway.

"Either way...do you really want to wait here forever? The doctor may have made you beautiful, but beauty should be shared. There is so much more here in the Sandlands to see and in the real world. I need one thing from you, though, okay? One small favor."

"Okay, what is it? anything, anything!"

"No more wanting to be Joe, okay?" Denton waved his hands in the Twins direction. "Every living thing made in this damn place was made to be Joe. You should be you. Starting now and even more when you get out. Live for yourself. You'll need a proper name as well. Joe is way to plain for you. How do you feel about Khepri? Always been one of my favorite names from myths."

She blinks. "Not be Joe?" She had never considered the idea in her life. She trembles fearfully.

"Thats why I died in the first place, I was not Joe enough, the doctor will punish me again if I am even more not Joe in the real world. But...if it's the only way, then I have no choice but to try not be Joe, but I am joe? I must...think on this."

"You're far to unique to be Joe. Joe is Joe. You are you. Khepri represents the rising sun. A scarab faced god. Today is the day you can rise. The doctor won't be punishing you at all if I have anything to say about it. We'll protect you. How's that sound?"

"It sounds too good to be true...but I will trust you, my new doctor." She blinks stary eyed at him.

"Denton." He patted her again. "Call me Denton."

The Agent popped up off the ground, staring at the shocked group, a large dopey grin on his face. He cracked his knuckles. "Okay then! This is great. We've gained another valuable...friend. Yes. A friend." He gestured at the creature formerly known as Joe 77. "This is Khepri. I think it is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. She's pretty banged up. Would you all mind checking around for medical supplies and what not?"

They continued staring.

"That's an order," he said. "No time to waste. She's in pain. I know this place has to have some bandages and disinfectant . Anything works really." Denton clapped his hands. "Come on chop, chop. Don't we want to make a good impression our newest member?"

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu didn't have a slacked jaw like everyone else. He wasn't surprised by this behavior from Denton anymore. He didn't care. Denton would never understand that the Joes would feel uncomfortable with the newly dubbed Khepri following them. But he also knew that Khepri was just as much a victim in this like Yellow Owl had stated. He picked back up the leg that he had in his hand, and bent it back into place. He proceeded to reattach the screws and bolts back to Khepri. "I'll trust you for now, but I will say one thing, Khepri." Kotsu got closer to her as he said this but he didn't whisper. "If anybody here becomes endangered by you? I won't hold back. But I'll trust you, for now. Deal?" Kotsu said, sighing as he pulled out his flask and drank heavily from it. He pulled out a cigarette afterward and started to smoke. Maybe he was developing a habit.

 

[Darkling0096]

"I'm not a doctor," Sam said in response to Denton's request for medical supplies. The technology of the place surprised her, though. "That's genius, they connect quantum-processors and delegate the tasks, why didn't I think of that? Not a millisecond of lag, nice." She looked around to see if anyone was watching before disconnecting a processor. "Alex."

"Yes, mom?", a new digital voice asked.

"Be a dear and memorize this thing's inner workings for me, I want one. Or six." She stuck the mini-core onto the processor and pocketed it.

 

[GamerCarrot]

Vivian shook her head in disbelief, watching as Denton spoke to the Joe that just attacked them all. She didn't know what his plan was but apparently having Khepri on their side was a part of it. Whilst Denton asked for help she didn't move, not because she didn't want to help the poor girl it was more that she didn't know the first thing when it came to mechanics or first aid on things that had more than just human parts. She felt a bit bad for Khepri, she was only following the orders of this so called doctor and obviously wanting to appease them even though from what Vivian could tell it was useless to even try. "Look's like the choice to spare her or kill her was made for us." she said as she walked up to the two Owl's.

 

[Exzalia]

Yellow Owl smiles. "I can fix her."

She summons her mental magic and begins to telentically to put Khepris pieces back together. It was easy seeing as she was mostly a machine, no bother some cells to repair just nut and bolt to be re screwed. She wasn't good as new, but after Yellow owl was done she was functional.

"Khepri owes her life to Denton, and the small dark one, I like the small dark one. My new purpose will be to serve you both."

"I think Denton wanted you to decide your own purpose." Yellow owl says.

"I have!" Khepris says happily. "It's to serve you both."

She skitters over to yellow Owl with mad eyes. "tell me your desires."

"Um..."

"Open the locked door with the prohibited sign on it." Blue owl states.

"You are not the small dark one."

"Actually I am, she's my younger dumber self."

Khepris skitters over to blue owl scrutinizing her "Indeed she is your younger self, though you are the dumber one."

Blue owl squints at her.

"I will open the door though. You will not like what you see. They are failed experiments like me, follow."

Khepris skitters away back down the hall way.

"She not a lot like Joe at all." yellow Owl notes.

"She may have his dna, but her history is totally different, it's ones experiences that defines them as people not their genetics. That's were you get a soul from." Blue Owl says this while giving Joe 1 and 2 a knowing look.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu stares at both Blue and Yellow Owl and turns to Blue Owl. "You're not wrong, but also not correct. Though I have no soul, I seem to possess a compassion that is, according to Denton, 'strange'." Kotsu said using air quotes for the word strange. "And apparently you have a disdain for vampires, but realize that there are differences in one person to another." Kotsu started to move his fingers through his shaggy beard that had grown in his months of isolation. "To be honest, you both are symbolic to a coin. It's... Interesting, to say the least. You both leave me perplexed." Kotsu smiles a bit at that. "But then again, so did both of you put together. That was for a different reason entirely though, in all fairness." Kotsu finished his cigarette and threw it on the floor, grinding it under his heel.

Kotsu made his way over to Denton. "That... Wasn't the worst thing I've seen you do. Maybe you do have a heart, but the twins won't like this result. I know that much." Kotsu said, offering Denton his flask and a cigarette. In Kotsu's eyes, it was the equivalent of extending an olive branch. "I really did think you were a puppet for the Maniacles this whole time, if I'm gonna be honest with you." Kotsu had a tired smile on his face as he said that. "Maybe you can be a hero; but if you can, that begs the question about your questionable decisions over this half of a year." Kotsu stared deep into Denton's mask holes as he said this, his own eyes normal before looking around. "And also, what happened to Morgan?"

Exzalia Kinggunlucky

 

[Kinggunlucky]

Denton stared Kotsu down. He said nothing for several moments. The vampire had a way about him, one that Denton couldn't understand. A dense nativity. "Of course The Twins won't be pleased. Not much pleases them. Does that mean we shouldn't give new leases on life to the other things here?" He watched as Khepri worked the, but continued talking to Kotsu. "Anyway I don't pretend to be a hero or villain. I am just Denton. Nothing more, nothing less. My choices are my own. Sometimes those choices have teeth, sometimes they don't. It is what it is."

Yeah.

Seeing the world so evenly cut between white hat and black hat was not an option for him. You couldn't afford to be anything except yourself. What if he didn't work for Maniacles? Would it change the type of man he was? Likely not. At the very least he would still certainly enjoy fucking with people.

He heard Kotsu's last question.

"Ah, Morgan," Denton said. "Yes, unfortunate set of circumstances there. She took actions that would cause problems in the long run. The woman had to be handled. So I put a bullet in her while she was asleep."

 

[Freikugel]

Did Fizzy hear correctly?

Oh Oh Execution, He delivered Execution. How Glorious, a truly Agent of Maniacles

He quickly loaded an explosive round in his gun and aimed, target Kotsu, he didn't fire of course but Fizzy was already used to the vampire's impulsiveness. He may jump at any second to attack him if he heard Denton killed a "comrade"

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu stared at Denton in disbelief, he gripped his stomach as he dropped to the ground and he covered his mouth to not throw up. "You... You killed the person that you loved...?" Kotsu heard the cocking of a bullet and looked over to the source to see it was Fritz Roy. "You can't be seriously defending this right now? And that wouldn't even do much to me as it stands anyway, you know that. Whether or not I imagine it to become a kitten mid-flight or not, it'd basically only incapacitate me in the real world." Kotsu said, his eyes sharp compared to their usual calm demeanor. He returned his gaze to Denton, his eyes searching for for some tell sign of lying. His nose trying to pick something up but the smell of blood, viscera and metal was all he could detect.

Kotsu threw up, he couldn't hold it anymore. His vomit went on Denton's shoes. "Ugh..." He got back up slowly and was shaking. "You're so lucky that you make me sick to my stomach, because if I wasn't, I'd fucking break your mask with my fist." Kotsu turned back to Fritz Roy. "If you defend this behavior in the slightest? Well, I know what Sam can come to expect. And if you even lay a finger on her? I'll kill you." Kotsu said in a calm, serious manner. That was unlike him, and that meant that his threat was serious.

Kinggunlucky Freikugel

 

[Freikugel]

Seems BEAST wasn't willing to attack, yet in case if needed, Fizzy maintained his stance....
In case he needs to deliver DEATH

"And you're being a fool, use your brain for once" stated to Kotsu

 

[mmarage]

The twins looked at Kotsu and Owl quietly. "...You shouldn't do that. You'd get in trouble. I don't want you two to risk your lives for us." They said in unison. Then... they listened to what Denton was doing, a look of pure disbelief going over their faces. They didn't make a move to help 77, now called 'Khepri'. They just kept staring at him, completely still, completely silent. He... had murdered Morgan as well...?

The two walked right up to Denton, 02 still supporting 01... raised their hands... and slapped him across the face in quick succession. "Denton, why the hell would you give that thing false hope?" 01 asked, his tone filled with nothing but admonishment.

"You do realize that it's a being from our cognition, yes? Another Joe, yes? Have you listened to anything we've said, anything at all? All of us are doomed to die. Chances are, by the time that we're finished here, all of those Joes back there are going to be melted pools of sludge, including 77. You might think what you've done is nice, but it's actually quite cruel. You've forgotten that this place was created by our minds, our memories, our thoughts. We know the outcome of these twisted experiments. Failure. Each and every last one of them. It would have been more merciful to put her out of her misery." 02 said, in much the same tone.

"And of course you've murdered one of our teammates, that isn't surprising whatsoever. You'll do whatever you want or need to, Denton. Fuck the consequences, yeah? You're just digging yourself into a deeper and deeper pit Denton, and sooner or later someone's going to bury you alive in it. Don't expect us to try and dig you out of it." 01 said, sounding quite disgusted. The two then turned and began to search for 01's leg, not bothering to allow Denton to get a word in edgewise.

 

[Kinggunlucky]

UGH!

Oh my God.

Denton immediately started shaking Kotsu's stomach gunk off his shoes. Seriously? Seriously? In his thirty years on the planet Denton had actually never known anyone vomit from being upset. What a sight. Christ almighty. So gross. The next order would be finding napkins and soap.

He had expected some sort of reaction, but not that. Damn. You had to respect a man that cared that much. He thought giving Kotsu a round of applause until he remembered he was standing in vampire bile.

Denton's face twisted in revile, but quickly change once he saw Kotsu's expression. How red he got, how his nostrils flared, how actually sick he looked. Denton bit his bottom lip, snorted, then giggled, and then... "Heheheh...HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Dude, I'm just fucking with you. She's doing a different job. I didn't want her here in case none of us made it back. A lot of danger. Not much room for escape if things became unmanageable."

And he was.

Morgan was fine.

It'd take a real sicko to kill their loved one. A real sicko. Denton was a sick man...not a sicko, though.

"You should see your face Kotsu. Oh man. I wish I had a phone. You were all like BLAAAARGH So gross."

Then the Twins slapped him.

 

[Freikugel]

Fizzy relaxed his gun
"Not a funny joke asshole!" Exclaimed to Denton.

"What if the idiot actually attacked you huh? Goddamnit I'm already having trouble keeping an eye on each one!!!"

Of course Fizzy realized Denton was lying, he already knew that side of him

Oh but for a moment you expected he delivered Execution. Not enough DEATH

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu's face grew red with blush from embarrassment, and he punched Denton in the arm hard, but not hard enough to break or injure his arm. "DON'T DO THAT, YOU PRICK!" Kotsu had a bit of a smile forming on his face. "You're a fucking asshole," Kotsu said, a few tears coming down his face in relief.

[Exzalia]

A flock of Owls​

As the continue on yellow owl floats over to Denton.

"Um excuses me?"

Denton turns to her and receives a surprise hug her little arms circling his waist. "I don't know of I like you or not, but thank you for showing compassion to Khepri. It means a lot to me." She lets go of him and studies his face.

"I'm almost tempted to mind delve you, just so I can finally figure you out. Funny You're the greatest mystery of all of us. I won't though I promise." With that she floats away catching up with Khepri who was trying and failing to chat with the other joes.

"Wait you two aren't dead? Oooh! Whats the surface world look like? whats it like to go on missions? Always wanted to do that, nice inventions by the way very creative, very painful."

They reach the restricted door and Khepri opens it. Seals twist and churn on the doors surface, and it slides open with a hiss of steam. "I warned you, behold."

The group walks up to five pods all covered in dust. A red light blinks beside them signifying that the beings inside were failers. Blue Owl raises a hand and wipes away the dust.

Yellow owl screams and steps back.

"What was that Denton? Cloning mages from all over the world?" Blue owl says lowly. "Well, looks like they got one from south Africa."

There floating in the pod, was another Owl.

"Blue owl." Yellow owl says trembling. "Are you telling me we were in the cloning program?"

"I...don't remember." Blue owl says feeling a little sick she wipes away the dust from another pod, another owl, though this one was pale with death.

Yellow Owl thinks a moment. "Are...are we clones?"

Blue owl wipes away dust from more pods to reveal more owls.

"I don't know. Until we get out memories back I just don't know." Blue owl says again, she turns to Denton rage building, she raises her pistol. "But someone better start telling me what he knows."

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu looked at the failured clones of Owl. "What the hell...?" Kotsu's gaze stared at the Owls. Could... Could one of these be the memory fragment that's here? If we had a Blue and Yellow Owl, maybe another Owl was gonna join us too? The thought made his brain hurt. "If we have two Owls already, were gonna have to start giving out nicknames if we get anymore Owls or Joes. This stuff is becoming too much." Kotsu said holding his head.
