Certainly the way back was awkwardly silent. No one had said a word to each other, let alone had Cyrus even made contact with the twins. Though to him, certainly they didn't look like twins. Because one was much older than the other, and twins looked alike. Well thats what he knows for sure.
Acronix did felt bad for having to do this to Cyrus. But there was nothing he could do to get out of it. He wanted to be his friend, learn what todays time had to bring, and just really get to know each other. But thanks to his brother, that was ripped away from him. But though Acronix turned his attention to the phone he was given. He just noticed that his screen saver was of him and Pixel. It made him frown, knowing what would happen if she figured out that he was behind this as well.
"Brother why must you be so caught up in that techno garbage!" Krux complained, which Acronix stuck out his tongue at him. "Atleast I'm not stuck in the ratchet past", he barked back at him with a small smirk. Krux looked at him in silence. "Ay- you know damm well that you was doing perfectly fine 40 years ago." Krux shot back at him. "That was before I discovered about this wonderful glowing visual glass!", Acronix said joyfully. Holding up the phone.
"How did you even GET that?!", Krux barked. "A gift, something I appreciate." Acronix said cheekily. Though it gotten to the point where krux tried to take the phone away. "Give it-", he said. "No-", Acronix shot back. They both completely forgot about Cyrus and everyone else that was with them as they get into their sibling argument. Krux tried getting the phone again, which Acronix held it up high and tilted back. "Acronix González! Give it here!" Krux said, annoyed and a bit frustrated. (It's what i have for their last name in my headcanon)
Acronix laughed as he jumped back onto the other side once Krux tried to swipe the phone away. "Why you little-", Krux was starting to say before he started to run at him. Acronix squealed in horror and ran away from him. Though he couldnt help but laugh at the fact that he was being chased for something so silly. Though Krux did put up a good chase as Acronix had a bit of a struggle to stay away from the older man. Though the others started to laugh in amusement.
Acronix tossed the phone to Cyrus before he picked up a sewer slug and threw it at Krux. Who now screamed in reaction and threw the slug to the ground. "The fuck- why did you throw THAT nasty thing at me?!", Krux barked, which had Acronix laughing his ass off. "Seeing, and hearing you scream like a little girl was the BEST thing I've ever heard and seen!" Acronix saigh through his laughter. Which Krux's face turned red with anger. "You are so lucky that we have captors, or else yours ass would been cussed out in Español". Krux said with a glare.
"Oh no, hermano is angry and going to use our native language on me", Acronix said in a slight sassy tone. Which had krux to have his eye twitch. "Watch it puta." Krux said lowly. Which Acronix only shrugged and took his phone back from Cyrus, through being kind about it, and started walking again. When Krux and Acronix was busy with each other, and that Cyrus had the phone. He couldn't help but take a look at the home and lock screen Acronix had. It was Acronix and pixal, practically it was the only photo he has besides the one that he took of Krux. That he tried to block his face out of.
Though when Acronix did take the phone back, Cyrus thought hard about his actions. Acronix wasn't trying to be the bad guy, he was just following what his older brother has planned. Which Cyrus still has very little known about it, even with him being apart a big role in their master plan. Though he did find it amusing how childish Acronix really was, like how he didn't mind others knowing what he would really be like. Let alone his massive love for technology. Though Cyrus thought, he may help Acronix with his phone. But he doesn't know if he should use his kindness even after what Acronix did.
But Acronix never intended on to hurt his only friends. But he wasn't sure if they was friends anymore. Acronix silently frowned, as he was a bit ahead of the others, no one really sawn his expression. All he could think about was the hurt expression Cyrus made when he founded out about it was him who knocked the robot out. It really did take a tole on him for quite a while. But it didn't take him a long time to realize they was now at the swamp.
Cyrus hated the smell that it radiated, even the other captives had to cover their noses. But the time twins was not effected, mainly because they had their masks on. "Vermillion warriors, take the builders to the factory. Blunk, Ragmunk, commince with phase two." Krux commanded, which everyone took their leave, leaving the time twins and Machia with Cyrus borg. "Seriously leaving that job two those dumbasses?" She questioned Krux, who he shushed her. "Of course. Gets them to do something then hiss at each other." Krux said as he followed his brother to the dome.
Acronix quietly pushed Cyrus, though he qas admiring his attire that he wore. It certainly suited him. The dark gray turtle neck sweater and the lighter gray coat over it, black jeans and socks, he loved the much darker shades than the brighter ones he was so known to wear with his brother. But he just noticed something that he haven't realized before. Cyrus had a robotic arm, how could he miss this tiny fact about him. Well now that he realize, he did had his hands together alot and one just looked like a fingerless glove at first glance.
Acronix has stopped so Krux could take Cyrus to a specialized area for the inverter. Krux stopped him at a table and walked to his brother while Machia watched him carefully. Which gave Cyrus a uneased feeling by her staring with those snake eyes of hers. Still wondering how a bunch of snakes could form into a creepy being.
"Alright, now that you are here. You are going to help us build a machine powerful enough to harness the time blades power to create a time vortex at free will." Krux said abrutly, placing down the blade, but kept it close. Cyrus looked at him with a unamused face. "What do you expect me to do?! With these limited- jankey tools, scrap metal, and rusty bolts! Don't get me started on the obsured idea!" Cyrus said with a small glare.
"I cannot do it", he said as he turned away with his arms crossed. Having a sassy attitude now. Which Krux was displeased about. "Back in our day, we used everything we could for building. No complaints or anything, that was craftsmanship", Krux said with a small glare. "I know you can build it, I've seen the works you've made within a year." Krux said as he placed both hands on the table, leaning slightly.
Cyrus cursed at himself for the stuff he had created. "Like I can build something that powerful, it would take months to make a perfectly working one!" Cyrus said, trying to lie his way out of this. He didn't want to be the cause of 'world destruction' or 'world domination'. "Like i believe you're story. You are going go work till you get this done. I've waited 40 years for this, don't expect much sleep.", Krux said lowly to him, to where Acronix couldn't hear.
Though Acronix slowly grew worried for Cyrus, mainly because Cyrus dropped his act after being told something he couldn't hear..
Next chapter would mainly focus on Acronix and Cyrus, and have some backstory//flashbacks
