The Jakob Elevator was quite the sight, even for a Bio-roid like her. Since she was just a wanderer until she received new orders from her masters, Serenade decided to just waste some time in the city surrounded by the elevator. The residences of the world sure did cling to things though. After the passing of the director, they still hold onto this large tower. Her guess was because they may need the elevator for any future means. However, the affairs of Reploids and Humans didn't concern the wandering Bio-roid.
Today was odd though, since she had her head and face completely exposed, since she normally covers her identity with her hood from her cloak. She was just sitting down on a structure next to a tall building, watching reploids and humans go about their busy lives as she also had a clear view of the elevator, despite being able to see it no matter where you were in the city. Despite trying to get away from Abel to give her mind a rest, she still couldn't help but recall the memories of that cyborg. He needed to die...but her feelings of her "natural duty" to protect humans continues to mix with her original programming. All she had to do was just cut him down and be done with it.
...Didn't help that some human child who seemed like he was lost was approaching her, which the more she looked at him, the more he resembled the cyborg before she severed his limbs during the beginning of the war.
"Hey, heeeey! Are ya a robo police woman? I...can't find my mama anywhere!" the seemingly hyper-active boy asked her. Serenade merely stared at him for a couple of moments before just shaking her head, turning her attention back at the tower to try and ignore him.
"Aww...well...hey! Can ya help me look for her? This part of tha city gives me the creeps...!"
The child had a weird way of speaking that she couldn't comprehend too well...at least she could understand what he was saying though. While she was just going to shake her head again and try to ignore him once more, she felt a slight aching pain in her head as she once again recalled a memory, placing her hand on her forehead. Was it the malfunction again? Either way, the loud kid wasn't going to make it any better, so in order for her to get rid of him without causing any violence, she just dropped from the structure and landed directly beside the boy.
"...Very well." She replied, though maintained her usual lifeless stare. If she disposed of the boy, she'd blow her cover. Plus, that malfunction was preventing her from acting like the killing machine she was programmed to be. That natural duty of hers didn't want to see the kid in danger while she did nothing...and that's not the Serenade she or her masters know.
As she watched the boy jump up and down with joy, she began to walk along the sidewalk as she followed the overly energetic human, but was completely aware that three shady-looking reploids were staring at them from a distance. My, looks like she had some trouble to deal with after all. Those three really appeared to be up to something while giving her and the boy suspicious looks.

Phantom's day was awfully boring. He had absolutely zero things to do, so he kind of just went with the flow for the day. He ended up next to a giant tower. Phantom's had to control his inner killing intent. He looked at everything around him and wanted to kill it all. He had not killed in awhile and it left him feeling dry. Killing was like his drug, his cocaine.
Phantom then heard a loud boy asking someone for help. Ugh! Phantom glared at the boy. He just wanted to walk up to the boy and slash his head off, and watch it fly in the air. He could imagine the crimson blood spewing out of the poor boy's neck after he did it. Phantom licked his lips to the thought of that.
Phantom glared at the girl and boy with eyes filled with fire. He quickly walked towards her and yelled, "Can you shut that boy up?!"

Serenade gave the approached reploid her normal stare, not really sure if she should respond or not and just keep walking. But she didn't blame him for wanting to keep the kid quiet. His little loud and obnoxious voice was also driving her up the wall, but with her having little emotion or reaction to anything, she simply bared with it. She had no clue if the man in front of her was like that...obviously not though if he had to ask her in such a manner.
"Hey! Ya big meanie! I'm just happy that she's gonna find mah mama!" the little boy snapped at the reploid, waltzing over to him and slightly poking at the stranger's leg. "Ooh! You're all hard and metallie. Cool!"
Serenade should have stopped the boy from approaching the stranger, seeing as he was already annoyed the second they passed by. But part of her really didn't care what happened to the kid...though on the other hand, the so-called "justice" that's trying to override her systems wanted to prevent anything happening to the human, now walking over to the two and placing her hand in front of the boy to gently push him away from the roid while looking down on him and placing her finger over her mouth, just gesturing the boy to keep quiet. While the boy pouted a bit, he at least showed a sign that he obliged.
With little to say herself, Serenade just looked back to the roid for a second before turning away to another direction, not feeling the need to say anything. But when she gazed back over to their original spot, those three shady reploids vanished completely. That was...actually bad, considering how criminal-ish they appeared. She searched back and forth as she tilted her head to different directions, actually spotting what appeared to be someone moving on the other side of the building, but could barely make it out; the direction the boy was leading her earlier. But as such, she took the lead instead as she slowly proceeded in that direction, the boy following behind her as he turned back around and waved at the reploid they just "met".

Phantom got annoyed when the little boy poked his legs. So much that if it was not for the little self control he had, the boy would be dead in an instant. He then noticed the girl made the little boy be quiet, and he smiled. Phantom decided to go sit down on a bench and observe the environment.
He noticed that some people he saw earlier had just seemed to disappear. Not that it mattered to him, people do what they want. A lot of people would consider them shady, but Phantom had no right to judge because he looked pretty shady himself. He did partially wonder what they would go and do though. But then he forgot about it and just continued to look around, maybe if he found a big oddity he could get in a fight. That is what he mostly hoped for, something to go completely wrong so he could 'fix' it.

So far so good, at least. Serenade was walking very slowly, creeping almost. She was getting closer and closer to the edge of the sidewalk where she saw something moving a few seconds ago. Before she could move any further, the boy opened his mouth again, which caused her to jump a little on the inside.
"Ooh, ooooh! Are ya playin' hide n' seek with someone?! I didn't know you robots did that stuff. I wanna play too! Who's the person we're lookin' for?! OH! Are YOU the one hiding?!"
For once in her entire life, the Bio-roid had a rather annoyed expression as she turned around and covered the boy's still yacking mouth with her hand. He sure did have a way at annoying even her of all people. She did as before and gestured him to keep quiet and stay still as she walked further on her own. Then as she sort of expected, one of the shady reploids from earlier jumped out on her in attempt to strike her on the head with the rather blunt, yet extremely tough object he had. Reacting nearly instantaneously, she quickly activated one of her beam sabers from underneath her cloak and parried the attack with relative ease, knocking the blunt object out the attacker's hand and causing him to nearly trip forward. Taking advantage of the opening, she swung her blade downwards and sideways, severing the roid in two horizontally from behind as he fell lifeless on the sidewalk.
Seeing this right before his eyes, the boy finally silenced himself as he froze with fear. But then the other two reploids that were supposed to be with their now-dead partner dropped down from out of a window from above and behind the child, causing him to run over and taking cover behind Serenade, who was already in position for battle.
"...Nothin' personal, you see. We run these parts of the streets and people like you are rare to come around. Nothing but poor folk barely getting by like us in this part of town..." One of the apparent thieves stated as he changed his hand into an arm cannon. "So if you want to make this easier on you, better cough up anything you've got. Hunters and police roids barely come to these parts, so you're outta luck!"
...Crooks again, eh? Now where has she seen this before...? Oh, right...all the time. She completely forgot that she unintentionally attracts thugs like these because they think she may be hiding valuables under her cloak, eventually leading to her just slaughtering them in cold-blood merely out of protecting herself. While she could blame herself for that, it was either stay hidden or have herself exposed so people could remember her face if something bad went down. The fact that she had her hood down today was that she'd never been here and crime in the town around the elevator wasn't really terrible...but apparently this hood-ish part was an exception. So all she was doing now was waiting for them to get impatient and approach, for she literally didn't have much of anything aside from a little Zenny. But with the boy here, looks like she had some protection duty to fulfill....great.

Phantom lips curved into a devious smile. Just what he wanted, some trouble to be started. Phantom started to laugh, a small laugh that would continue into a much larger one. He walked up behind the crooks that were bothering the girl he talked to earlier and said, "No, cops here? Fun. Does that mean I get to rip you little boys to shreds without a care in the world?"
Phantom held a black electrical charge in both of his hands. His hands were in a claw shape, like he was going to grab one of the crooks and pump them through of electricity, but he waited for the crooks' response. He had to have his fun. He also figured that the girl would owe him if he wiped out the crooks.

"Wha?"
The thug immediately shifted his attention behind him as he heard the voice that came out of nowhere, jumping backwards a little out of surprise. "Who...the hell are you? Get outta here!" He noticed the person had their hands already prepared for combat...and targeting him specifically. Out of pure instinct, he pointed his buster at the newcomer as he began to channel the energy. However, the expression of the guy's certainly wasn't a guarantee that he'd agree to his former statement, so not wasting anymore time, he fired a single shot of energy from the arm cannon point blank towards the unknown reploid.
Serenade remained silent, gazing over at the familiar reploid as he threatened the troublemakers. Was he...helping her? No...looked like something else was behind his behavior, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. But before she could think about it any further, the other reploid pulled out a beam saber of his own.
"Hey, hey now...don't forget about me, girlie!" He didn't waste any time darting himself at her and swinging like a mad man with his sword, leaving the newcomer to his partner. The Bio-roid noticed by movements alone that while this one's movements were very sporadic and were inexperienced, he seemed to have some control over the wild attacks, which could of proven a bit dangerous. As such, she was dodging them with her high agility as best as she could. When his attacks seemed to get more accurate, she began block them and eventually parried him like she did to the other thug, but she acrobatically flipped over his head as she held her free hand out and fired several spheres of fire at his back just as she landed behind him. The assault likely didn't kill him, but it sent him to the ground easily.

A blast hit Phantom right in the gut. And over the sound of the blast, something else could be heard, his laughter. Phantom was laughing like a madman. Phantom had been blasted back a little bit, but he shrugged it off. As he walked back to his opponent. "That felt nice."
Phantom charged his hand with black electricity and immediately sliced at his opponent with it, creating an electric arc as he did. "Now it is my turn, little boy." Phantom had a giant smile on his face as he attacked.

"Huh?! You took a direct hit!" Indeed the mysterious reploid did...and yet, it seemed to have the opposite effect as the crook seemed to walk backwards a tad. Usually when one sustains a direct hit, it's supposed to hurt them and stagger...yet this one recoiled and enjoyed the pain instead of reacting with agony. The hell was he programmed to feel anyway? But then here came his opponent's attack, still momentarily frozen from trying to fathom on what the heck was going on. The quick swipe of the lit hand struck his chest area directly as he tried to push himself back. Luckily he did so, otherwise that would have did him in entirely. He fell backwards on the ground as he held his deep wound with both hands since he deactivated his arm cannon.
While Serenade glanced over to the other fight, she saw the recovering reploid raising to his feet from the corner of her eyes, however he was pulling a rather desperate attack. He actually chucked his beam saber at her like it was some sort of throwing spear. Using her quick reflexes, Serenade grabbed the hilt of the beam saber just as it zipped past her face while she dodged it.
"...What? How did she--" The crooks words were cut short as Serenade spun the weapon around before darting it back at the opponent with all her Bio-roid strength applied and twice the speed. The beam saber pierced straight through it's owner's face right in the center as he staggered backwards, then in an instantaneous motion, Serenade dashed towards her opponent as she decapitated him on the spot to put him out of his misery, his severed head with the weapon still in it bouncing off towards the opposite side of the street.
The remaining thug who was badly injured by the crazed-looking reploid had just noticed that his partner was killed already as he noticed his head hitting the other side of the street, now just realizing he was all alone. "Ah crap...and here I thought I'd be dealing with chumps...." But he wasn't going to give up easily. He crawled away from the two as he was in the center of the street, laughing like he'd lost his mind. "Hah hah hah! You guys are good...I'll give ya that.....but can you fight...AN ENTIRE LEGION OF US?!" He then snapped his finger loudly as it roared throughout the area. "COME ON OUT, BOYS! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
Then right after, many red eyes flashed in the many windows of the surrounding buildings, all looking down at Serenade and Phantom, but not yet emerging. The Bio-roid herself noticed all the eyes flashing in the darkness, bracing herself for the worst as she realized the human boy was clinging to her leg. She was going to have to shake him off eventually when the fighting starts From the looks of just trying to count all the eyes she witness, there were well over fifty of them. Guess he wasn't kidding about having a whole gang in control of these parts. But since fear and hesitation were not feelings she was programmed with, she stood bravely at the wave of thugs that were soon to come.

Phantom looked around at the many red eyes staring at him, ready to attack. This was delicious. He could slaughter quite a bit of enemies now. He could just imagine it all, the raw wires and parts that would be left over when he was done destroying his opponents. Phantom licked his lips at the thought.
"Hey boys! Come at me! Let's see if you are ready for some fun! I'll give you guys a hell of a time!" Phantom yelled out and then started to laugh manically. His laugh was even louder than usual and seemed even more sinister. Phantom was going to have a real good time, he could feel it.

Moments later, many reploids leaped out the windows, holding a variety of different weapons. Some had standard arm cannons and beam sabers while others used more blunt objects like poles. Even had some of them using chains. But they all soared down and quickly surrounded Phantom, Serenade and the boy. Since Phantom caught their attention first, the majority of them darted themselves at him with full-on intent to kill.
The rest of them, roughly over two dozen in numbers, closed in on Serenade and the boy as they assumed she'd be easier to deal with while trying to protect the human, who was still clinging to her leg. She honestly wasn't too concerned for the kid, but as they all closed in faster, she pulled the boy behind her as she stepped forth a couple of feet and activated her second Reaper Blade, feeling the need to step this up so none of them could get past her. The more she held her fighting prowess back, the more likely they'd break through, so she had to get into her dual wielding stance immediately.
Three of them approached her first, all of them attacking consecutively with their poles, which Serenade dodged two of them, then sliced the third pole user's weapon in half with one Reaper Blade, then thrusting her second saber through the reploid's chest. She quickly ripped her weapon out the now-dead enemy and broke the defenses of the other two as they tried to double attack her again, striking them both through their sides with a twin horizontal strike, then cutting them both down one after another with a final strike from both sabers. It was then she realized more were coming at her with bloodlust in those shining red eyes of theirs, preparing herself as she sprinted forth to take the fight closer to them.

Phantom smiled. He was going to have a lot of fun with this, yet he did not feel like using his scythe yet. Four of them attacked him at first, each coming from a different direction. One came from his left, the other from his right, another from behind, and finally one from in front. Phantom thought this was sad though, only one of them had a weapon. He started with that one, he quickly slipped behind the saber wielder and grabbed his arm that was holding a saber. He broke the arm and shot it straight through the reploid's chest. Phantom dropped the arm but quickly grabbed the saber before it hit the ground.
Now it was time for the other three. Two of them came at him at once, they shot their fists towards Phantom's head. Phantom quickly ducked under their punches and slashed through their abdomens, cleaving them in two. Then he shot himself forward and sent the saber through the last one's chest, leaving it in.
Phantom did a motion like he was dusting off his hands. He looked around, he still had a long way to go. Well more fun for him. He started to focus electricity in his hands as he waited for an adversary.

Still having quite the bit of them on her end, Serenade continued to confront the next wave of enemies as they approached her. It was time for her to go on the offensive so they'd have little time to attack in a crowd. Even with her skill, too many coming at once could bode a problem. She sprinted forth and performed a swift thrust to one enemy's face, then forcing the impaled weapon upwards as she jumped and severed his head vertically. Afterwards, she landed between two more and within a flash, she beheaded them with both beam sabers.
One of them with a chain managed to wrap the weapon around her like a rope from a distance, binding her in that one spot as she tried to free herself. But then more of them began to swarm around her and attack her at once. Needing to use her agility here, she could still move. She dropped down, but bent her back flexibly to dodge the incoming attacks directed at her. Then she fell down on her back purposely as she acrobatically stretched her legs upwards before splitting them and spinning around on the ground to kick some of the enemies away and off of her. While she was doing this, it loosened the chain around her until she could break free and pulled on the chain with all her strength while locking it between her thigh, reeling in the chain user as she impaled both of her weapons straight through his chest. She used the embedded enemy as a weapon as she used her Bio-roid strength to spin him around along with her as his body further knocked back several enemies. She then released the reploid and granted him a swift demise. As the enemies recovered....
"...H-Help!!"
Serenade heard the human child scream to the top of his lungs, dashing through the recovering crowd back to where she started. She admittedly forgot about the boy already. But as she dashed forth, she saw the reploid that the scythe user injured earlier that called on these thugs, the troublemaker having the boy held up and locked between his arms.
"Stop!!" The thug said as he grinned and laughed evilishly as he held a small beam dagger to the boy's neck. "Heh heh heh! Take another step and the little squishy brat here gets his little neck slit!"
Serenade really didn't want to comply, as she had no real attachment to the boy. For goodness sake, she just met him. But her head started to ache badly at the thought of sacrificing the kid, that self-dubbed malfunction in her electronic brain began acting up again. She closed one eye out of a mere reaction to the pain before it faded away, then realized the other thugs were closing in slowly on her. In this position, she had no idea how to respond. Attack and get the boy killed, or sit by as they beat or possibly kill her. There had to be a way for her to hit thug from where she was standing fast enough for him to not react in time. She could perhaps try some tricky movements with her beam saber and use her elemental powers to do something like that, but it was quite risky. However, that was all she had in mind. They weren't going to just wait for her to think of some intricate plan.

Phantom saw the little boy held by one of the thugs from before. Well, he could help the kid, he would get one more kill in if he did. He also had the capabilities to help the kid. With his teleporter, he could easily appear behind the thug and snap his neck. Hell, he will go for it.
Phantom quickly activated his teleporter and disappeared from the spot he was at. In less than a second he was behind the thug, he grabbed onto the thug's head and twisted it, so he could break it. If everything went as planned, the thug would drop dead and nothing bad would happen. Of course, the thug might realize what would happen, and kill the kid while Phantom killed him. Either way really did not matter to him.

Even Serenade didn't expect the reploid from earlier to appear behind the cowardly thief, seeing the individual managing to grab hold of the crook's head. Taking advantage of this as his attempt at killing the thug unexpectedly succeeded, Serenade sprinted forth quickly, but realized another one of the street thugs jumped forth after Phantom killed the first one. She happened to catch the boy, but she realized she spent her movement time trying to rescue him. Her body then moved on it's own, ignoring her own will as she held him close and shielded him completely from the enemy's beam saber. The beam of heat struck her back directly, but in retaliation, her free hand still was in possession of one of her Reaper Blades, turning around before severing the reploid in two halves through his midsection.
The bio-roid realized she shielded the human with her own body without wanting to, in her mind wondering why she would do such a thing. But as the groups of thugs combined and paced slowly towards them all, the boy was confused at what just happened during his rescue, but he realized one obvious thing as tugged on Serenade's arm. "...Y-you're hurt! It's my fault..."
Taking a direct hit like that even placed a slightly strained expression on her face of all people. And given how fragile her body was, she was surprised she didn't drop from the blow. It seemed to miss her vital points, so she was able to still stand normally. Her wound was quite grave and her artificial blood leaked from it. That was actually bad if any one there was familiar with the fact that Bio-roids had blood...if no one didn't, then she would have to consider herself lucky. She didn't know about Phantom, but it seemed like the thugs weren't even paying attention to such a detail. Soon after, she turned the boy loose and pointed over to some large crates.
"...Go. You're in the way..." There was a slight fatigue in her voice, but it wasn't nothing she could handle once she caught her breath for a few seconds. As much as the boy wanted to argue despite how terrified he was, he simply agreed as he ran behind those crates so they wouldn't target him. So now, all she had to do was make sure neither of them got close to that general area. She looked to phantom at the corner of her eyes, actually analyzing him now. He seemed powerful enough to handle this...and if he went out of his way to save the boy whether he wanted to or not, then it was at least reassuring to know someone else was opposing the crooks. It'd make her job easier at keeping an eye on the crates while fighting. Why was she putting so much effort into this anyway...she didn't understand it.
Before the enemies could move any faster, Serenade merely opened her mouth for a few words towards the stranger before the next confrontation could begin, likely the first thing she's said directly to him. "...I may need to inquire your assistance..." It sort of gave a slight pain to her head to blatantly ask for help...was it pride? Something else she wasn't programmed with? But if she wanted to fulfill the duties she still had, she couldn't allow her life to end here and in such a fashion. Her sustaining that much damage to her back was her fault for not being able to control her movements for a human she didn't even care about.
