After a few days from the new recruit, Tangle and Whisper were at the workshop........
Belle: Everything's holding up! I officially give your wispon a clean bill of health.
Whisper: 'Good.'
Belle: It really is a neat little piece of engineering. There's a lot more I could learn if you're willing to let me keep tinkering with it.......
Tangle: You just fixed it, and now you wanna take it apart again?
Belle: Okay, Okay! It's safe.......for now.
Orangutan Mobian: Hey Belle! You got those new gaskets ready?
Belle: You needed those today?! Oh geez! Sorry, y'all. I've got a bit of panicking to do
Tangle: No worries! We've gotta get going anyway. Lanolin's got us on a new training schedule.
They both leave.
Tangle: Try not to blow anything up this time!
As they were both leaving, Whisper bonked into Silver who He was taking with Gotuce.
Silver: GAH!
Gotuce: Silver! You okay?
Silver: Augh. Sorry! Guess I kind of zoned out.
Gotuce picks up Silver off the floor.
Silver: Thanks Gotuce.
Gotuce: No problem, man.
Tangle: Something on your mind?
Silver: Eh, it's dumb.......
Tangle: Dumb, shumb. We won't judge.
Silver: How do you know if you're working hard enough? I don't want to waste my time here. But I'm also supposed to enjoy what Ive got......and with Blaze away, traveling, learning about the world, I-
Whisper: 'Come train with us. I know Gotuce will come.'
Gotuce: You know it!
Silver: Wait, me? In the Diamond Cutters?!
Tangle: Heck yeah, Dude! Let's do this!
Silver: This is gonna be awesome!
------------------
Over on a rocky terrain.......
Lanolin: All right, Diamond Cutters.......The Restoration's re-greening effort hasn't reached this part of Green Hill yet, so feel free to really let loose.
Gotuce: Alright!
Lanolin shushes Gotuce which he does.
Lanolin: Since we have some new faces today, it's a good time to work on coordinating moves and communicating in the field. If that sound good to all of you. Let's head down to the bottom of the canyon and get started!
They all began to walk of the side of the cliff.
Tangle: All right! Let's kick communication's butt!
Duo was walking behind Silver while Gotuce walking just behind.
Duo: The psychic kid........he could be trouble if I don't play this right.......but then there's the other guy but I'll focus on the kid first......
Duo: Hey. Uh, Hi! I'm Duo.
Silver: Silver! You're the new D.C. recruit, right? Man, thats so cool.
Duo: Oh, I'm nothing special. You, though......I've heard about you. Is it true that you took down Metal Overlord? That you fixed the Metal Virus?
Silver: Well, technically Gotuce defeated Metal Overlord with his Dragon Fist and I only helped with the virus as Gotuce showcased his full power of the Time Patrol to deal with Zavok.
Duo: I've heard that you can move stuff with your mind....... howuch can you lift? Like, a car?
Silver: Pff-Thats nothing. Check this out!
Silver used his powers to lift a bunch of heavy rocks.
Duo: Oh.......wow.......
Silver: This really isn't that much. But I don't wanna tear down the whole mountain.
Gotuce: If you think that's impressive, then check this out!
Gotuce fires two beam waves.
Gotuce: HA!!!!!!!!
The beams completely destroyed the rocks into semi bigger pieces which Silver still kept up.
The girls down at the canyon noticed the rocks.
Tangle: WOO! Looking good, Babe!
Lanolin: Can you bring those rock down here? Maybe we can use them!
Duo had a sinister smile before kicking Silver's foot which Whisper and Gotuce noticed before He let the rocks fall.
Lanolin: Of all the.......Not like that!
Silver: Shoot! I'm coming!
Gotuce was about to go as well before he felt a rumbling.
The wall behind them crashed open as giant Chopper came out to try and eat them.
Water geban to flood the ground level were the girls were.
Lanolin: Whisper! Can you fly us out?
Whisper: 'Greens hover isn't fast enough!'
Tangle: I got this!
Tangle uses her tail to grapple onto a ledge as it pulls them up.
Tangle: Ooh! Can we call this move "Scorpion Formation"?
Lanolin: Less naming, more surviving!
They dodge out of falling rocks way.
Lanolin: Were not out of this yet.......Split up! Whisper with me!
Whisper uses her Hover wisp as Lanolin uses her cowbell to destroy falling rocks.
Lanolin: Not exactly the training I was hoping for.......where are the boys?
Tangle: I can't see them..........
Tangle looked down to see that the Chopper was shaking around violently as Gotuce was hitting from within.
Duo: Come on! Tear this thing apart already!
Silver: It's a lot harder when when they fight back! Gotuce! Stop shaking it and help me!
Gotuce: Huh? Oh sorry!
Silver began to use more of his telekinesis to try and move the mouth apart as Gotuce appeared to be hitting the teeth to deimporce the harm of the mouth.
Silver then notices Duo climbing the wall as his eyes turned black with white irises.
Silver: Whuh?! Duo?!
Gotuce: Oh, Duo of you SON OF BI-Wah!
The Chopper closes it's mouth as an explosion rocks its body.
Tangle: You're okay!
Lanolin: Where Silver and our boyfriend?
Duo: I'm sorry, I couldn't save them......the teeth, so big......
Just then the body was torn apart as Gotuce was in Super Saiyan 3.
Gotuce: ENERGY DESTRUCTION WAVE!!!!
The wave gave Silver enough time to heave the body away and pointed at Duo.
Silver: He ditched us!
Duo: Ditched?! I was going to call for help!
Gotuce: Bullshit and you know it!
Silver: Then why didn't you say so!
Lanolin: Hey! Hey! There's no reason to point fingers. I expected better control from you, Silver. With powers like yours, there's no room for error.
Silver: It was an accident.
Lanolin: And Gotuce! I was hoping you'd be more reasonable than this! I thought you would keep them in check since you more experienced!
Gotuce: Wha! But he's lying!
Lanolin: Lying or not........do more better next time.
Duo smiled at this which Gotuce had flared to this which spooked Duo into hiding behind Lanolin.
------------------
Outside of the New Restoration HQ........
Silver was sitting on top of the shed while Gotuce was angrily walking back and forth on the ground.
Gotuce: GAH! That prick! I can't believe he managed!
Gotuce got angry and punched the floor while Silver watched in sadness.
Gotuce: Heck! I even gave him a warning if he did something like this!
Whisper: 'Silver and Gotuce.'
Silver: GAH! Oh sorry, I was distracted by Gotuces rant. I can't stop thinking about what happened in Green Hill. Something about Duo is........off. When we were trapped in that big fish bot. He was a completey different person to the point of getting a raise out of Gotuce.
Whisper: 'I saw it.'
Silver: 'Saw what?'
Whisper:'You didn't trip. He kicked you '
Silver:......I could swear I saw his eye change color.
Whisper:'Change how?'
Silver: The white part turned black, and his irises turned white.
Whisper pulled down her mask.
Whisper: 'We're going hunting.'
They both noticed Gotuce floating up to them.
Gotuce: I'm going with the two of you. Its about time I give him a lesson.
Gotuce said this with a sinister smile.
