"Lost! Lost!" Verde can be heard calling his boss on the doorway.
"Whoa, what's up dude?" Dracustos asked to the flabbergasted botanist.
"Where is our boss?" Verde asked.
"I need to speak to him quickly." he added.
"For crying out loud I'm trying to sleep here!"an angry Blake shouted.
"He's upstairs listening to that stupid radio."he added then went back to sleep.

Verde then went upstairs to speak to the robot.
"Lost!"he shouted.
"What, is it." Lost asked.
"Let me catch my breath first."Verde said wheezing.
"Huff... Lost, there is a huge sale at the supermarket, all their items have a 25% discount. It's the perfect opportunity, and our food supply is almost out."
"Bzeert...." Lost's jetpack came out of his back in a blink of an eye.
"Then what are we waiting for."Lost said.
"Whoa, wait don't use that he-"Verde tried to stop Lost but it was already too late.
A hole shot through the roof and a puff of smoke filled the room.
"I just fixed that yesterday."a blackened-faced Verde said.
"Hey wait for me!"he said as he jump out of the window.

30 minutes later at the market.....
"Hey, this is really good stuff here." Verde said looking at a can of sardines.
"No, Verde not another canned food." Lost said.
"But, we had a disaster yesterday because of your failed cooking." Verde said.
"If you're pointing about our broken oven, that was not my fault, it was Dracustos" Lost shot back.
"Still, I'd prefer a restaurant than you're cooking." Verde said.
Lost glared at him, his eyes changed to red.
"Whoa, don't take this too seriously." Verde said.
"No, not you, look behind."Lost said.
Verde turned around and saw a man hiding grocery items in his jacket. He looked around to see if someone was watching him. He looked at Verde and Lost but they manage to turn around before the thief raised suspicion.
"It's already a sale but someone else is stealing." Verde whispered to Lost.
"Let's get him." Lost said to Verde.
"No, let me handle this myself." Verde said.
"I'll entrust the shopping to you, oh, and don't forget about my chips." Verde added.
"Potato right?" Lost ensured.
"With a flavor of spicy barbecue." Verde added.

5 minutes later the thief left the store with his stolen goods. He ran down the alleyway away from the main streets. Shadows loomed the area and trashes lies everywhere.

Watching from above the roof, Verde think of a plan that will take care of the thief shortly. After thinking some more he jumped down the roof right in front of the thief.
"Assault from above." Verde said with a menacing voice.

The thief was surprised, but also prepared. He brought out a small pocket knife and threatened Verde.
"Keep away if you don't want to die." the thief warned.
"Please, I already encountered more dangerous stuff than a ,mere pocket knife." Verde bragged.
The thief backed away, still pointing the knife at Verde. Then, he stumbled, he fell on the ground, grocery supplies scattered on the ground. He tripped on a vine, it was Verde's.
"Give up already." Verde warned.
"Make me!"the thief said.
He then through his pocket knife, aiming at Verde's face. He wasn't hit but his disguise mustached detached. The thief was surprised on what he saw.
"Y-you, you're the guy with the $1 Million bounty!"thief said.
"Ah, no." Verde said.
"Looks like I have to finish this quickly."he added.
"Spare me!"the thief begged.
"Whoa, relaxed I ain't gonna kill you."Verde assured.

10 minutes later...
"Make sure you keep him in prison."a newly disguised Verde said.
"We thank you for your kind cooperation sire."the two policemen said.
"Hey, that guy's more notorious than me!"the thief shouted.
"Shut you're trap, scumbag."the first policeman said.
"You have the right to remain silent! Anything you say can be used against you!"the second police said.

After the criminal was captured, the police mobile sped away leaving behind a trail of dust. Lost came walking from behind.
"Nice job." Lost said.
"It's wasn't that hard." Verde replied.
"Anyway, you got the stuff?"Verde added.
"Yes." Lost answered.
"Damn, I was going to tell you lots of things a while ago, but nevermind, it's not that important anyway." Verde said with a sigh.
"Well, time to be going back." Lost said.
"Yeah."Verde replied.
And out into the sunset the leaders of The Network disappeared out of the horizon back to their own base.

Its a nice day... Apparently, a nice enough day to go out shopping. "I am going out to buy some groceries. And supplies." Lost informs us. "Who wants to come with me?"
No one volunteers. "Come on men. Don't be selfish. It will be good to get out once in a while, is it not?"
"It'll make us seem like old grandmothers sir. I'm still quite young in the elf world." I say.

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
Turns out to be the wrong answer. 2 hours later, I find myself slouching against an aisle, in a super market, doing what? SHOPPING. "Aw man... I was just kidding Lost. You didn't have to drag me out here to do some momma business." Lost glares at me and I raise my hands in defeat. "Okay, okay. Wrong word. Shopping~"

"That aside, go grab some spaghetti." I blink. "Go!" I roll my eyes but to anyways. After a few minutes, I find it. When I get back, Lost looks at me weirdly.
"What is it?"
"What took you so long?"
"I may have gotten lost, Lost." I reply bluntly. There's a sound that I suspect is half way between a chuckle and a sigh. I grin weakly. The prospect of getting lost in a local market makes me laugh. I laugh even harder when Lost laughs too, his robotic voice box making it sound scratchy. Its a laugh nonetheless. People pass by, looking at us weirdly- the same look Lost gave me. I stop suddenly. "I think I'm going to stick by you from now on. Its crowded here. And the lighting is just terrible." I pull up my hood as more people brush past me.
"Lighten up Blake. You are always looking on the down side." I stick my tongue out at him childishly.

Minutes later, as I am queuing up, someone taps me from behind. "Excuse me, are you in the queue?" I nod, keeping my back facing him. The voice sounds oddly familiar though. My mind draws blank when I try and place the voice with a figure. "Could you turn around?" I stretch my senses out to both look out for Lost(who is out there somewhere getting a bag of fruits) and to get a look over of this guy. Well built from the looks of the shadows. Tall too. Taller than me. I turn slowly. "Its him alright." Another voice squeaks from behind. I name them Bigwart and Squeaky. Bounty hunters. I shove my basket of groceries at them, jumping over the guy in front of me.
"Sorry! Excuse me! Coming through! Watch out behind ya!" I yell out as I duck under the railing keeping the queue in check and moving back the way I came. Buff fingers grasp my jacket sleeve. I twist out of my jacket, summoning my staff at the same time, I bring my staff up as I turn, slamming it into Bigwart's throat. Someone grabs me from behind as I'm distracted, throwing me onto the floor. I land with a kick to my head and side. I grunt as I try and drag myself to my feet. Squeaky pushes my down. More hands wrench mine behind my back. I send a burst of light but it barely makes most of them budge. Cuffs are latched on and I'm dragged upwards. Screams sounds around us, and yells of police and terrorist too. A laser blasts into several bounty hunters.
"Get up Blake!" Lost pulls me up. We are back to back, facing the circle of bounty hunters.
"I guess we never get a peaceful day out..." I joke, panting. I concentrate. Without my hands, I cant 'go with the flow' of my elements so I'll just have to attack with my feet and mental abilities. Lost thrusts out with his electrical batons. I charge it with shadows, adding extra boom to it. I ball up light, sucking out the energy in the ceiling, blasting it at the oncoming wave of opponents. More take their place. "Oh boy. How many are there? Bloody hunters. We ain't got time for this!" I curse some more, not caring who's there to hear me. I'll probably get a reprimand from Lost about my language after this but what the heck. The lights flicker back on.

"I need a energy charge." I tell Lost. "I need to wreck this place down. "Hopefully we'll get outta here without no more than a broken skull. "
I can almost hear gears turning in Lost's brain. As we fend off more hunters, a headache bursts in the back of my head. I grit my teeth and slowly sink to my knees. "I... I can't..."
"No Blake! Fight it! I know what to do... I'm going to aim an electrical charge into the floor. You use your shadows and lights to put more energy into it. You hear me?" He calls over the yells. Hands grasp me and pulls me away from Lost. I kick out, trying to get away, to get a grip. "LOST!!!" I scream above the pounding pain. I find him amidst the shadows. I focus on the batons glowing in his hands. And I pour everything into it. I keep supplying energy. I'm being dragged further. I don't care. Even if I'm taken, I can't let Lost get taken too. One of us MUST survive. I know I can't. Lost has a better chance of survival in this world. Then, before I know it, a earth shaking roar crashes in my ears. I feel bits of plaster raining down on me. The earth cracks. I lose consciousness.

When I awake, I'm lying in ruins, the sun baking me. I groan and prop myself up using my elbows. "Why do I always end up in cuffs or elemental snuffers." I mutter. Suddenly, I remember. Lost. "Oh no... Nonononono...." I climb to my feet with a little difficulty. I send a pulse of light than hurts even my own eyes. I can't find him anywhere. Tears fill my eyes. Have I lost someone else again? I stagger backwards, howling. When I fall silent, my shoulders shudder, sobs racking my body.
"Stop crying!" I raise my head.
"Lost?! Lost you idiot!" I struggle to get up again but Lost bends down and pats me awkwardly. I throw myself at him. "I would hug you if I could man. Damn you, you old bot. You gave me a heart attack." The sound of metal creaking and my cuffs fall of. I do just that, giving him a big squeeze.
"Now about the language you were using back there..."
"Oh shucks Lost. It was a sentimental moment an' now you broke it. Ah... Lecture me later. Lets go do some grandmother's shopping somewhere more private, eh?"
