It feels like time has slowed. And Acronix hasn't used his abilities in two weeks. All he has been doing is training. It was little time he spent with Cyrus. But today Acronix didn't want to do anything at all. He has been upset all morning. No one knew why. Even if he was asked, he refused to say. It was his birthday. And spending it without his brother really had taken a toll on him.
Acronix had taken a small nap, even so early in the morning. To hopefully sleep off the pain. Lloyd quietly closed the cabin door and walked down the hall of the bounty. His thoughts trailed here and there. "Maybe Cyrus know whats wrong. Its a try." He muttered to himself as he walked onto the deck. Not seeing anyone around, he decided to take off on his dragon. Heading to the Borg Tower.
He landed on the roof after a short while, the dragon disappeared and he went down to the lower floors. He hoped to get some sort of answer. Quietly, he opened the 100th floor door. "Mr. Borg..? You in here?" He asked. "Whos there?" Borg called out. "Lloyd", the ninja said as he walked into the room. "Lloyd, what caused you to drop by?" Borg asked as he turned his attention to him.
"Well...today Acronix is refusing to do anything today. He even ignored us when we tried asking him. Do you...know what is wrong with acronix?" Lloyd asked as he walked over. Cyrus stayed silent for a moment before he sighed. "Today is his birthday. Knowing the current situation, he probably feels like he can't spend the day with his twin." He explained.
Lloyd stayed quiet, thinking of what to say. "He may actually do something if...you allow him and krux to atleast spend time with each other for this day. I know that something serious is going to take place in two weeks. But give them the time of day. Who knows how long it would of been if they haven't spent a birthday together. Especially krux, with the whole time vortex thing." Cyrus said to him in a soft voice.
"Its risky. Very. Especially since you're life is on the line. But I'll see if I can make an arrangement." Lloyd said. "Thank you borg." He smiled, turning away. He was about to walk away till Cyrus stopped him. "Lloyd...can you..give this to him?" He asked, tapping on a big box that had little black and yellow stripes for wrapping. "I think he would like this. And I have no other way of getting it to him that wouldn't damage it after repairs. And Pixel is busy at this time." He said as he looked to lloyd.
Lloyd smiled lightly and nodded. "Of course. He likely would love it" he said, walking over. He picked up the box, which had a good weight to it. "Whats in this that is causing this much weight?" "When he first arrived. Crashing through my roof, his armory was dented badly. I had Pixel help me take it off so we could properly get him to the hospital without suspicion. [Pretty sus]. I had it repaired for him, but I didn't know when to give it to him"
"Well...thats really nice of you" Lloyd said. "I guess it would be the right time to gift back him something he originally owned. He did earn it." He muttered a bit. He took his leave after a final goodbye. Now having to figure out how to contact Krux to set up some plan to allow the two to spend the day together finally.
By time he arrived at the bounty, some of his friends was outside. He landed and had the dragon to disappear. "What is that lloyd?" Nya asked as she put a box down. "Apparently today is the time twins birthday. Cyrus somehow was informed and wanted me to give this to acronix. I now know why Acronix is the way he is." Lloyd explained as he walked inside the ship, nya following him. "So...today is his birthday, but why would he refuse to do anything?" She asked.
"Because he is use to spending it with his twin. And since things are so tense, he probably feels like he can't. I know its highly risky. But I do plan on letting him and krux atleast spend today together." Lloyd explained as he quietly walked into the room after softly knocking.
The knocking had Acronix open his eyes, he was unable to really sleep for a long time. "Yes..?" He muttered. Nya stood by the door. "Cyrus said today was your birthday, and wanted me to deliver you this. I do believe you really have earned this special present." Lloyd said as he placed down the box on the small table. Acronix was confused and he sat up slowly. "For me...? But...-" "and I want you to contact your twin. I know its tense at the moment, but im sure krux would reason for today because of the special event." He said, interupting Acronix.
Acronix was in disbelief, but he looked at the present and decided to open it carefully. Nya quietly recorded it so she could send it to Cyrus. A small smile on her face. Acronix examined the box before he actually opened it. His eyes widen at the sight of his armory. He tried to say something but he couldn't. He covered his mouth as tears started to form. "My...my armor...h..how...but I thought I...I wouldn't see this again." He stumbled on his words.
He looked to lloyd before back to the armor. "My heavens..." he muttered as he picked up the chest plate. "I remember it being crushed badly...did he really went the way to reparing it..?" He quietly questioned to himself. "T..thank you.." he smiled softly at Lloyd.
"Dont thank me, thank Dr. Borg" Lloyd said with a bright smile. "Now let's see about your brother." Acronix freaked out a bit "But the deal--" "if he has some senses. He would spend the birthday with you. If I'm correct, he hasn't for 41 years." Lloyd interupted him.
It was a dangerous play, but Acronix nodded. Though he looked at his watch, he stayed silent for a moment before he looked to lloyd. "Where can we go..?" He asked, lloyd thought about this. "Best to stay here for now. We will land so krux can aboard the ship." He explained .
It did take some time after Acronix messed around with his watch device. Krux did aboard the ship, but he was much calmer than before. Attire was simple in black pants, black leather jacket with a collar and gray under shirt. "Why was i called..?" He asked, unamused. "Thought you like to spend time with your twin for your birthdays. Since its been a long time you both had. Thought we could be nice for it to be allowed." Lloyd said, though he made sure to keep his swoard on him just in case.
Krux's eyes widen slightly in shock, but it went emotionless as he didnt want to show weakness. "Fine." He muttered. Though in his mind, he begged tc to let him spend the day with Acronix. As how stubborn and angered the monster was. It became the only exception for krux to actually have control once again.
Though the ninjas was still skeptical of krux. But Acronix was determined to help out his brother during the day if he could...
Thats if he could.
