The gang is at the fair
Dally is still sulking and won't talk to Eva
Nero: Alright I don't know about you but I'm going to search the arenas
Dally: yup I'm coming too
Nero: is at the arena with dally where they see two cras get the stuffing beaten out of them by three trools (basically big ugly muscular things)
And then
The switch roles and she jumps in
Nero's heart beats slightly faster
Nero: Cleome
Dally: that's cleome!
Cleome beats up one but then gets grabbed by another
Announcer: will no-one come to the aid of this charming Cra I'd like to remind the audience that they are also welcome to Jo-
Nero punches the guy holding cleome sending him flying back and catches her in his arms
Anocuner: YES A CHALLENGER HAS ENTERED THE CALL
Let's clap for the future corpse!
Nero: Hey cleo long time no see
Cleome smirks: you just be either brave or stupid too join this fight Nero
Nero: Well I'm definitely one of those
Nero puts cleome down and they walk towards the guys
Nero: Alright freaks you ready to rumble I've been feeling itchy for a while so try and show me a good time
Cleome: Yeah what and I'm cooking up desert Cra style!
Dally then lands besides them: Hope you don't mind me dishing out a beating too iop style
Nero: no problem at all Cleome this is dally
Cleome: hey
Dally: Hi
They all charge them and start beating the pulverising their opponents
Nero is facing down the big guy
Nero: Hey big boy wanna brawl
Big guy: RAAAA!
Nero simply steps to the side and grabs the big guys arm and slams him right into a shoulder throw
He sees Cleo performing a headscissor technique which damages the big guy and when he gets back up he's knocked out by Eva
Cleome: Evangelyne what are you doing here
Eva: looking for you and believe me I have more important things to do
Cleome: mind your own business then I'm old enough to take care of myself
Eva: so I see nice show was the circus the reason you ran away
Cleome: since when has that been any of your buisness haven't you got a world too save
Nero: Hey Cleo wanna end this thing!
Cleome: Yeah! You bet I do
Cleome runs right at Nero and he gives her a boost and she slams down dealing an axe kick to the final guy
Causing him to fall to the ground
Then Nero and dally runs up and together deal a two person uppercut to the freaks jaw send him down to the ground
Announcer: AND ITS OVER
Nero: That was awesome! It was just like old times!
Cleome: Yeah! Best times of my life

Cleome then walks up to Nero
Cleome: So I heard you helped save the world too as the mighty ridge wow I knew you'd big a big shot someday
Nero: Well it was all thanks to you I was even alive to do it

Nero: Heh nice to meet ya

Cleome still has her arm around Nero

Dally: it's true, you never let me have any fun I'm a iop not my fault, I like fighting, I was born like that
Nero: True I was born to fight as well it's one of the few things that can truly excite me
Rubliax: forget it you two she doesn't understand
Leon: good I like your spirit come on let's sign
Nero twirls a pen and signs
Dally does the same
And eventually Eva is also convinced
Leon: hmm since there is four of you that just means it'll be a one v four this'll be an even more exciting match!
Nero and cleome fist bump
Eva looks at all of them
The three just smile at her and dally hmphs
Eva: Cleome I want your word that at the end of the fight you'll go make to the city
Cleome: Ahh
Eva: that or I'll get in touch with the cra guard and you can settle it with them they'll drag you back home by the ears believe me it won't do your reputation any good
Cleome: fine!
Eva: I want your cra promise!
Cleome: fine I give you my Cra promise that I will return to the city after this fight ok happy now?
Nero sees that she was crossing her fingers but just smirks and doesn't say anything
Then they are at the fair
Cleome: so here are the two other members of the famous brotherhood of the tofu By Cra! I'm so lucky to have found you! You just be Yugo the mysterious eliatrope and you the legendary mr Stroud right
Ruel: just call me Ruel, by enutrof you two look really alike the spitting I,age of Eva but more, less well you two look really alike
Yugo: Wow it's so cool to be meeting Eva's sister, so I heard you and Nero met each other before he met us how did you two meet
Cleome: Oh that's a great story!
Nero chuckles yeah it sure is: Alright we've got a little whole till the fight it's story time
Nero is about to start narrating
Amalia: right may I remind you we have an important mission So now we found the troublemaker we can send her back to Cra city and get out of here
Nero: rude you shouldn't interrupt people Also about that
Eva: Me, Nero and dally have a fight to win I can't wait to have lessons for, real warriors
They all high five in excitement
Eva whispers what happened
Later in a tent
Dally explains the trick too defeating trools dive in head first and bash away
Eva: and what if it's a gobbal for example, or a chafer, What did the ancient iops do them
Rubliax: silence in the ranks!
Cleome raises her hand
Dally: yes cleome you have a question
Cleome in a much nicer tone than Eva: and what if it's a gobbal for example, or a chafer, What did the ancient iops do them
Nero: pfft!
Cleome smiles at him
Dally: excellent question they dive in head first and bash away but don't go egg the finer details you have to adapt your style to match your opponent
Nero stands up
Nero: he's right for example trools are really stupid so when one charges at it can't change direction because that's too much information so the strategy is distract it, throw it off and then dally?
Dally: dive in head first and bash away understood
Cleome: perfectly
They then get called out to fight
They are all dressed and wrestlers
Nero, dally and cleome all wave to the crowd
Nero: LETS BEGIN THIS BEATDOWM
Cleome: Woohoo
Dally: yeah!
Annocunsr: now let's introduce
Brawlinator! (Dally)
The dark demon! (Nero)
The black Arrow! (Cleome)
And hit and miss! (Eva!)
The coming in for them is a giant trool named Mirkool or wargl
Cleome: it's not the size that counts it how hard you hit it
Nero: Sweet well then Let's hit this thing super hard
Dally: that's my specialty
And then a cage falls on them
And then pillars appear from the ground
And the beast charges them
Nero: EVERYONE SCATTER!
The four scatter
Nero and dally grab a leg
Cleome grabs his arm
Announcer: Brawlinator,dark demon and black arrow leap in for triple,attack! But why is hit and miss waiting to finish off her opponent
Dally: Eva what are you waiting for?
Nero: Yeah! Come on!
Cleome: Hit him!
The beast swings cleome and provides a knee strike to the back and goes to throw her
Nero: CLEO!
Nero let's go and after she gets throw he catches her and his back collides with the wall and it breaks
Nero: Argh! Well did that replay my debt
Cleome: never owed you one to begin
Nero and cleome climb out of the rubble
Dally: Eva what's the matter with you we had him
Eva: uhh
Cleome: a trool might be stupid but he'll never fall for the s,we trick twice
Nero: she's right that's not gonna work again
The trools grabs the pillar
The beast swings down the pillar and Eva jumps over it and grabs onto his hair and pulls it and gets thrown off
Eva: did you see that dodge not bad right
Cleome: Great nice form but we are supposed to be a team
Eva just gasps
The beast gets evened angrier
Nero: Well he's not happy
Cleome: thanks for that sis
Dally: first things first to it's a group effort if we're all together during Chiswick tree, there's only one solution: to flout brawling
Eva: you mean all lit brawling
Dally just growls
Cleome: Ok listen to him we're gonna try another tactic
Nero: I'm all ears
They hear it
Cleome: ok you got, Dally, Nero
Nero: right
Dally: yeah!
Eva and cleome jump onto pillars and fade away from wargl
Wargl charges them
Nero and dally run right at wargl and hold him in place
That'd when the two cras back flip and grab onto wargl's hands
That allows Nero and dally to jump onto its head
wargl slams cleome into a pillar
Nero and Eva: Cleo!
That's when Eva gets slammed down to the ground
Nero and sally get angry and start pulling on wargl's hair and with one mighty tug they rip it off
Announcer: it's off The warriors have capped of the champions braid that's the ultimate sacrilege for a trool
It was his weak point
The big guy is now sitting in the arena sucking his thumb
Eva: He's become completely harmless
Nero: so there's only one thing left to do and that's to finish him off Cleo wanna do one last move with me
Cleo: Absolutely
They beat the absolute crap out of the big guy with dally eventually joining in and then they finish him off by performing a double suplex
One
Two
Three
KNOCKOUT
Leon swings down
Nero and Cleome stand victorious with dally watching on smirking
Leon: Give the lovers a round of applause!, With Brawlinator and hit and Miss!
Nero and cleome fist bump the sky!
Leon: What worthy winners it looks like there's love in the air
Nero and cleome smirk at each other and cleome wraps his arm around Nero's neck
Later
Nero wants to say goodbye to Cleome personally
Nero: So aren't actually leaving right
Cleome: well I kind of have too don't I I did promise Eva
Nero: I saw those crossed fingers
Cleo: oh I can put anything passed you
She sneakily moves closer to him and kisses him right in the lips
They stay like that for a while
Nero: yeah that settles it you aren't leaving not any time soon
Cleome smirks: So what's your plan
Nero pulls out his haven bag: Get in! And say hi to Kowaru for me
Cleome: oh Kowaru is in there I missed that little guy
Nero: just stay silent
Cleome: yes sir
She kisses him on the cheek again and gets in the bag
Nero: wow she was really is amazing
And that's a wrap

And next chapter will be how those two met so that'll be fun
