In the plains, far away from most cities and towns, was a spot where a few X-Nauts, their general and their leader, have set up camp.
They had saved and hid a few of their equipment from the fortress before it selfdestructed, not being completely used to the objects and technology on this planet.
In one of the mechanical, dome-shaped tents, Grodus sat on a stool, his mechanical brain going through all his plans, fixing errors and editing parts that needed work. His mouth formed into a smirk, pride and accomplishment apparent on his face.
He continued with his plans, hoping his soldiers and Crump actually WERE guarding the camp...
"...The idiots had BETTER be."

Queen-B had slipped in as silent as could, well, BE.~
The guards outside were nothing--bumbling blubber for brains, and she'd slipped by so carefully without so much as a breeze going by them. She'd spotted a few strange looking buildings in the distance while walking along the plains. She tried to stay away from most major cities as often as possible, only flitting in and out to steal certain items of interest. But this small grouping intrigued her. Some place far away from everything else, it had to be hiding SOMETHING special, right? She decided to peek around.
What she saw was strange to say the least, weird looking frumpy and short creatures in red uniforms, all scurrying about. She kept to the shadows behind the tents as she made her way towards one. Creeping up to it, she slid her body through the open space, sidling against the wall.

Grodus hadn't heard his intruder slip in...yet. He was simply too caught up in his plans. 'Let's see, the combuster should go here and...' Grodus thought.

Queenie quirked a brow before silently tip-toeing to a halt behind him. 'Weird lookin' fella...' she mused, smiling lightly. She tried to peek over his shoulder to see what he was doing and looked disappointed to see drafts of various designs instead.

Grodus finally finished one of his plans. "Yes, it's perfect! No flaws whatsoever." he muttered quietly to himself. Couldn't scare away the rest of his troops, could he? He leaned back on his chair, giving himself a 5 minute break before he started on his other ones. But when he leaned back, he bumped his head against something...or someone. He quickly turned around and saw a young woman standing right behind him. "Who are you!?", he yelled, quickly getting up and facing her, ready to call his troops in if need be.

She jerked back, surprised and unexpectant of being caught snooping. She innocently latched her hands behind her back, ready to use her sceptor if needed and replied, "I'm sorry sugar, did Queenie scare you?~ I can be so quiet sometimes. " She didn't know how he'd react to her precense here.

Grodus merely huffed at what she said. Didn't mean to? Oh please.
"Just WHAT are you doing here? I'm certain you were quiet for a...reason." Grodus said. His hand was on a laser gun that he hid in his robe, readying himself for any attacks. She didn't fool him for a minute. "If you don't state your reasons now, I will call my troops in here." he said in a stern tone.

She bit her glossy lip. Not that she couldn't escape if things got nasty for her, but the last thing she wanted was a scene. Rubbing her thumb along her sceptor carefully she answered, "Well I didn't wanna disturb you, sugar, you looked like you were doin' somethin' very important. I'm just a lost lil' girl is all~" Queenie batted her lashes at him innocently.

He raised an eyebrow at this explanation. "...Lost, you say?" he asked before continuing to say, "Then why didn't you ask one of my soldiers? Did they scare you, little girl?". His tone was mocking on the last sentence. He still wasn't fooled, not for a minute. "Viere, get in here!", Grodus yelled, expecting his Elite soldier to get here quickly.

Queenie jumped forward suddenly, raising her staff from behind her back to position it in front of herself. "Oh, I wouldn't do that, sugar.~ Listen, you just let me outta here nice and quiet and I'll forget about any treasures you're hidin' here." She smiled, rolling her eyes back in thought. "Well MAYBE. You look like you're hidin' something big though. Maybe Queenie'll take it with her.~"

Grodus instantly pointed his gun towards her as she revealed her staff, a smirk on his stern face.
"Really now? Well, I'm sorry Miss Queenie, but I can't do that. Can't let anyone else know about us, can I?", he said. Silly girl.
(OOC: Sorry about the delay. Been helping with taking care of a sick family member.)

( OOC: Don't worry about it! X3 )
Queen B's smile faltered when her eyes fell on his gun. She wasn't expecting him to be prepared. "Look, you don't wanna mess with me, honey. I leave a nasty sting.~" If she were nervous, it didn't come across her heavily made-up face. She dropped her staff's base to the floor instead of striking him, and a large black mass began forming into the floor. "So I'll let you mess with my boys, first~!" All at once, a pair of glowing eyes emerged from the black puddle and formed two small boys with matching overalls. Both blinked, rubbing at their eyes and groaning.
"Aww come ON, lady!! We were right in the middle of somethin'!" Mako whined, pulling his foot from the puddle. Lucas joined his brother in groaning but suddenly stopped, tugging at his shirt. "Hey! It's that--"
"GRAMPA GUY!!" Mako exclaimed, a wide smirk growing on his face. "Long time no see, gramps!"
Queen B quirked a brow. Her boys were already aquainted with this strange guy? Who'da thunk it! She slunk back, "Well, well, looks like you already know each other, sugar!~"

...Crap. "You two...great." Grodus didn't lower his gun, though. He still wasn't quite over how they made a fool of him at Poshley Heights...but. It was then that he lowered his gun completely, putting on his best welcoming smile and said in his most pleasant voice, "I was wondering when I would see you again. I apologize for what I said to you back in Poshley Heights. I was quite tired from all the work I did". He continued, "I didn't realize you knew this young lady either", he said as he turned towards Queenie. "I apologize for losing my temper like that. I've been quite busy and I get a bit temperamental when I'm tired."
"So, to make it up...how about I offer you a deal?", he asked. Now that he thought of it...these three could be...useful.

Mako and Lucas turned to one another, staring at the other in a confused manner. "Dude's lost it." Lucas murmered, his brother nodding in agreement. Queenie quirked an eyebrow, studying him. Wasn't he just about to shoot at them? Now he suddenly changed his tune? She was skeptical buuut.....Queenie smirked almost sweetly. He probably realized he didn't stand a chance against her and her twin shadow employees. Smart man.~
"Well shucks, I have a temper too sugar but I don't go tryin' to shoot anybody either. At least not right away. But maybe I'll let you make it up to me. After all, Queenie can be forgiving.~"
Mako and Lucas both performed an eyeroll, sneering. "What kinda deal, gramps?" Mako jeered at him. Lucas leaned forward if ever slightly and murmered. "How 'bout you help us out---and we'll make it worth your while." He pulled back, gulping slightly as he did so as he raised a nervous glance to Queen-B who seemed uninterested and what he whispered to Grodus.

Suckers.
With his fake, welcoming smile still plastered on his face, Grodus replied, "I'm glad you understand. Once again, I apologize for the outburst".
He heard what one of the shadows said and at that instant, another plan was forming in his head. 'Hmmm...this could turn out better than I thought', he thought. Without faltering, he asked, "Will it be alright if you meet me later? I'm still working on one other thing, but I think I know just the thing to make up for all this". Underneath the white scarf covering the lower half of his face, his warm, welcoming smile turned into a cold, cruel smirk.
If this all works out, he'll have them right where he wants them.
