Chapter Text
Sirens blared and alarms rang, flashing lights awakened the slumber of the night. Fear broke out in the hearts of many, anxious of what could have happened on what was believed to have been a peaceful day. The glass windows of a jewellery store, right in the middle of the bustling city, was now reduced to thousands of shards. Everything in the shop was left untouched, except for one—the most precious gem in the city, protected with a highly advanced security system that was blasted to pieces, the guard responsible was on the floor, dead. The security system was not enough to protect the store, and worse still, the surveillance cameras were all blasted. The police nationwide were on the case, but there was no need to wonder who was behind such a heinous crime, it was none other than them. The duo that was impossible to capture.
They must have still been nearby, they never left the crime scene until they were able to rub it in everyone's faces that no one would be able to catch them. No matter how hard they tried. A blast coming from the far east alerted the police team and they stealthily headed there in all directions to corner them, even a helicopter was at the ready in case they flew and sure enough, there they were in all their glory, standing before a building they demolished in absolute pride.
“You are surrounded, surrender yourselves now!”
To which one of them laughed hysterically, tearing up. Ridiculous! Surrounded? Them?
“Oh no, what are we gonna do?” he said sarcastically. He looked up at the helicopter above them and whispered to his companion. “Kii, bring it down.”
“Hm,” he grunted in affirmation before raising his arm toward the helicopter hovering in the sky. His partner bent over and took refuge behind him as he shot the bullet. In a split second, the helicopter was in half, crashing down in flames, and the two were gone, a long blue-white light streaked across the night sky, it must have been them. Not even a whole army of forces would be able to stop them, so a more thorough strategy would probably have been better.
Rantaro Amami, treasured and only son of the president of the renowned Amami co., and K1-B, the product of Professor Idabashi's years of sweat and hard work, an advanced, very humanlike robot that shook the whole world—ironic that he was named after hope—were the two members of the most notorious criminal duos, despite being precious to their respective families, wreaked havoc throughout the country. Their identities were pretty much still hidden, mostly thanks to Keebo destroying every possible camera that could have their pictures. It was suspected that Keebo might be one of the duos but as Prof Idabashi testified, he does not have such features, as in: no rocket launcher or jetpack. He was sure that his own creation, his own child, was not responsible for planting fear in the hearts of many, despite knowing that one of the criminal fiends is undeniably a robot. In reality, Keebo was always ready all the time to protect Rantaro and make sure he's safe during all their missions, not caring what happened to other people in doing so, willing to dirty his hands for him. A lot of people would argue that Rantaro would not have lasted this long without Keebo protecting him however even way before they met, Rantaro was able to cause such mayhem on his own without being caught even once.
The two met up in an alleyway quite a distance away from the crime scene, after Keebo basically floating his way gently down so that he would not be spotted from afar. As he was nearing the ground, Keebo's eyes frantically looked around for Rantaro, there's always the possibility that he might have gotten arrested no matter how skilful he was. His heart (or at least an equivalent of what would be his heart) jumped in glee when he spotted a mass of green hair standing by a wire fence.
“Rantaro,” he said happily as he landed on his feet, running into his partner's open arms. “The gem?”
“Here,” Rantaro indicated the pocket in his coat before hugging Keebo tightly. “Let's go home.”
And so they walked home quietly hand-in-hand without arousing any more trouble.
