~ Howdy,

By dusk, Kirb and Seb had arrived at a fancy residential subdivision, searching for Justy's place.

Sebachie: "Is that it?"

Kirb: "No."

Sebachie: "..."

Sebachie: "Is that it?"

Kirb: "No."

Sebachie: "..."

Sebachie: "I-"

Kirb: "No! Oh wait, yes it is."

They then parked outside the home. Kirb opened the door and held it for Seb. The foyer was furnished with some basic furniture and on the wall hung the occasional sharp-bladed object, specifically of the knife type. Kirb led Seb to a closet labeled 'Do Not Enter: Nothing Special in Here.' He opened the closet door and ushered Seb in. Seb, rightfully confused, walked in. Suddenly, the closet lit up and revealed itself to be an elevator; Kirb pressed the button for 'Basement Level 9.' The two awkwardly stood next to one another as the elevator began to descend, staring blankly at the elevator door.

Sebachie: "... Nice beard..."

Kirb: "Thanks, I haven't shaved in a while. Honestly, I’ve been wanting to grow a beard for a long time. It look good?"

Sebachie: "It’s getting there. I was thinking of growing a moustache of my own."

Kirb: "Ehhh."

Sebachie: "..."

Sebachie: "Say, I was gonna ask you, how’d you come to know Justy? You’re a rookie in the Master Building club right?"

Seb's question is then interrupted by the elevator door opening on basement level 4. A porg is standing there, a translator on his neck, nametag on his chest, and newspaper in hand (erm... wing). His name is Fred.

Fred: "Kirb"

Kirb: "Fred."

The elevator again went silent for a while; the door then opens on Level 9 to reveal a group of people in what appears to be a secret meeting room. When Fred left, Kirb's smile faded.

Kirb: "When Negachie arrived, he destroyed nearly half of Saginaw county, including my home town. Burnt it all to the ground."

Kirb's eyes glowed with a reddish tint.

Kirb: "I was out doing my own thing, and he just had to show up!"

Sebachie: "Must’ve been Hell to go through that."

Kirb: "It was. Y’know, I was gonna ask this girl to see Doctor Strange this weekend. But you can’t date a skeleton can you?"

Kirb chuckled at his own joke, but his face grew solemn and his eyes watered. He wiped his eyes.

Kirb: "I was all alone. But Justy found me when he confronted Negachie and destroyed one of the big bots; he showed me how to get here, told me to find you on the way. That is, if I chose to come. He gave me a choice."

Sebachie: "Sounds like Justy."

Justy, Robin, Cold-Fire, and MechaBrits are gathered around a table, various machines and mechanisms surrounding them. Justy noticed the two enter.

Justy: "Ah, you came! Glad to see you in good health, Sebachie; we were just getting started."

Robin: "So we already know how to take down the big bots as Kirb and Justy learned in Frankeh- Fank- the place where Kirb lives. Why is it so dang hard to say that name?”

Kirb: "You’ll learn."

Justy: "Your mech kinda sucked, hope you upgraded it."

Kirb: "Firstly, it was Steve's, I just borrowed it. Second, I won't be using a mech this time. My powers, they are our best tool."

Sebachie: "W-Wait, you have powers?"

Kirb: "Yes, short story short, I have the ability to control lightning. The only reason I didn’t use them then was because I didn’t know you enough to reveal... this."

Cold_Fire: "Negachie’s been making more big mechs, Seb, and I doubt they're going to be as easy to take down as they were before."

Robin: "That's why Cold_Fire and I have developed our own androids to combat the Sebotchies. And Cold_Fire is even working on his own big mech. It'll have hidden cameras and mics so we can learn his plan. First we need to launch our army, then we'll attack."

Mechabrits: "The big mechs aren't the only things that have gotten stronger. This Sebotchie may look normal right? It’s not, his technology has evolved, they’re gonna be hard to destroy. As for the big guy, he has more, a whole army even. Get this, they're radioactively powered."

Sebachie: "So what do we do? Are we bricked?"

Justy: "No, we made these suits, they should protect us from the Sebotchies' radiation."

Kirb: "Sounds like a plan, except... that guy. Someone shot at the Stricker on the way here, He looked familiar. He may be a threat."

Justy: "Well then, we need to hurry; suit up. Welcome to Mecabricks, gentlemen!"
