Buster’s eyes narrowed again, an angry scowl curving his lips. “We are not going back there. Least of all me. We don’t need that place.” As far as Buster was concerned, that was the end of the conversation. He turned his attention back to Hakkai. “We can handle it. I’ve done enough sailing by now to know the basics. I was born for rigging. And smartypants there probably knows how to actually sail. The sooner we get back on the road, the sooner we can be somewhere else.”

Somewhere that wasn’t Skull Fortress. Somewhere that wasn’t just a testament to failure.

“It would be easier then building a base from scratch, not to mention we could gather allies in one easy location.” Sago stated before walking up to Buster and Hakkai. “Besides, I have a few chores I need to do, one of which could very much benefit us.” Smirking a little like the devious bastard that he was, he continued. “I have someone who would very easily join on board with us, besides I think you and him would get along very well, Buster. Being you both are loud mouthed idiots.” Covering his mouth with a scaly hand, he snickered behind it. 

“It’s literally free labour, if we can’t stay at the fortress we still need to make a stop at America for me before we go to Brazil.”

All this talk about Brazil and America was getting a little on Hakkai’s nerves, but to be fair a trip encompassing both of them wouldn’t work out too badly….?

Soon enough the unit were back at the rig that got Goku and Hakkai here in the first place. Boy was it quiet now that the humans had nicked off in terror. With a steady leap, the boar bot landed firmly on deck (without leaving a whole, thankfully), and gestured to the monkey bot to hop off.

“Well we might’swell git our co-ords set n’ den Gojo, you can set up our course n’ such eh?” Scrolling through data sent from both brothers a while back, Hakkai found the localities of both the Skull Fortress - must have been like the 9th or something? Dr Wily really outdid himself when it came to building fortresses - and the ‘G-Pad’ that Goku had started on, and punched them in. Where he was going to transmit the data to was the kappa bot naturally, for he had the wit to make use of the data.

Letting the other two do their thing, Hakkai prepared the boat for sail while pondering each of his brothers’ motives. Gojo had his own things to do - of which Hakkai wasn’t really all to clear on - and Goku’s express desire to avoid anything Skull-aligned and make a new start. It really was a predicament, and as usual Hakkai didn’t know the best means to address it.

Completely oblivious to the G-brawl going on, Hakkai finished his unloading. It hadn’t occurred to him in the slightest that the fleeing deckhands were actually needed for the onward journey - but then again, when your only goal is to get to a destination, you tend to forget logistical specifics.

Expelling a rough cough - though it would have sounded like a snort - Hakkai had just prepared to lumber his way back to the rig when a loud siren blast came from the vicinity. What was this unexpected signal? Suddenly becoming more cautious, the boar bot made a quick analysis of the others’ distance from him and the boat, and decided that if this siren of sorts was an alert as to the presence of robots such as themselves, they would have to break away - and so he made a beeline for the scuffle. Of course that wasn’t confirmed, but Hakkai didn’t pay attention to the siren’s location.

Even though it wasn’t his imperative to speak to an arguing Goku and Gojo, he decided to anyway to break some ice on his part. “Well uh, certs long time n’ sea… pun intend’d. Looks like da bond’n o’ bros is playn’ out well dontcha say?” Maintaining his battle ready stance, Hakkai kept his ears pricked for further clues on deck.

“OH-HOOH!” Buster screeched, pounding his fists on the dock, practically throwing a tantrum. “UNCLE! UNCLE!” After some effort and shuffling, Buster was free, and scrambling back up to his feet. He growled and narrowed his eyes at Sago…before his scowl morphed into a smirk. Buster’s arms wrapped around his taller subordinate and plucked him up off the floor in a quick hug, dropping him back down once he’d decided that was enough affection. “We’re really all here! We’re back! Maaan, I never thought I’d see the day!”

He turned back to Hakkai and grinned at him, leaping up to land on the boar’s back again. “Alright! Let’s set sail! Greener pastures await us, boys! We gotta get back to the treehouse to start planning our next move! We can’t let the world think we’re still dead!”

Smirking at Buster’s little tantrum, he let Buster push him off and got up himself, dusting off his shoulders until the monkey bot embraced him in a small hug to which Sago reacted with pushing him away, straightening up his shirt.

“Likewise.” The kappa bot replied in his usual dry and sarcastic manner. Until he rose an eyebrow at the word ‘treehouse’. “We’re going to the Skull Fortress Buster, that’s why we’re heading East, it’s the fastest way.” Despite knowing Buster didn’t want to go he was going to make him go.

“But Brazil is…” Hakkai cut himself short, knowing this wasn’t any time to cut in. Though he wasn’t showing it on the outside, he too was overcome with memories of the past when the G Crew were one mighty force stationed at the Wily Tower - good times, even if Rockman had managed to floor them all. However he didn’t quite share Goku’s enthusiasm with regards to the future - by all means planning ahead was wise, but Hakkai was the sort of bot that took things slowly and whatever came first, was dealt with first.

With a familiar thud on his bodice, Hakkai knew it was time to mosey on back to the ship. That odd siren from before stopped as well, and that was a welcome sign. He turned to Gojo slowly, whose fashion sense seemed to amaze him with such crisp linen at this sort of run down port sure to be an eye-turner. “Well uh… Gojo I take i’ you’re fine on foot? Lesseadown to da rig ‘gin. Ya think we can manage wi’ jus’ da three o’ us or do we need some human comp’ny?”

East certainly was the way. Back in his thoughts, Hakkai thought about Brazil - only from accounts and data Goku had sent him, of course - and the Fortress, which was bound to be just a replica of every other Wily construction, with minor changes here and there. But Hakkai knew that in order to get to the enlightening future, the G Crew had the overcome the tribulations of their past - how that would play, depended on each other, and each other only.

Buster was flipped up into the air by Gojo’s hand, body light and relatively easy to manipulate in such a way. His tail came back and lashed around Sago’s wrist, pulling his body back closer to his target, letting his feet lash at the kappa’s head again. “So I noticed! Nice of you to wait around!” Buster twisted in the air, trying to use his tail to bring Sago to the ground.

The dock workers were screaming and scattering - about time. The whole trip, they hadn’t noticed G-Unit at all, mostly because they’d managed to keep quiet and do their ‘jobs.’ Every couple of hours they’d get up and move a big crate, or hoist sails or flags, then move them back where they’d found them. As long as they looked busy, they didn’t need an actual task assigned to them. Traveling was easy when you know how. But now they were out of things to do, and the humans remembered that no, they didn’t have any giant pig or monkey robots on staff.

Next to being sat on by Hakkai, having Buster kick you in the face was one of the worse things that can happen, holding his face as Buster yanked him down, Sago grabbed his tail and pulled him down with him and kept a tight grip on it, knowing his tail was a sensitive appanage and a good way to take him down. “Really Buster?! And to think I ALMOST missed you!” He growled, flipping himself upright so he could pin down his smaller leader.
Of course, not paying attention to the fleeing boat crew’s screams they probably wouldn’t pay repercussions if they moved fast enough and got out of there.

Completely oblivious to the G-brawl going on, Hakkai finished his unloading. It hadn’t occurred to him in the slightest that the fleeing deckhands were actually needed for the onward journey - but then again, when your only goal is to get to a destination, you tend to forget logistical specifics.

At the start of the trip, he’d been downright energized, excited to be traveling again, especially with Hakkai at his side. But as the days had gone on and their actual goal approached, Buster grew and more visibly agitated. The culmination was here. When Hakkai disturbed his meditation, he didn’t speak, not a word. Only opened his eyes and stood up, slowly.

Still silent, Buster turned and began walking toward the far end of the deck, fists clenched and feet moving with calculated intent. He wasn’t running away, that was evident. He just needed a running start.

With a flash he was off, barreling down the deck, no longer caring how much noise he made. His feet blasted him off the prow, and suddenly Buster was flying, slender body propelled through the air by his own strength. His stance shifted in the air, a foot aimed squarely for Gojo’s head without hesitation. “KNOCK KNOCK!”

He was just about to give up on his brothers coming today until that is he saw a small boat. Lifting an eyebrow, at the vessel’s whistle and smiled just a fraction. Getting up off his rather, in his opinion, uncomfortable seat and waved back  a bit half heartedly.

Wait, what was Buster doing? Going to the back of the boat and running back up to.. “Ugh..” Sago sighed, creating a more solid stance so he could brace himself for Buster’s incoming strike and as predicted, he threw himself off the boat, foot reared right at him. Lashing out his waving hand to grab at the monkey bot’s foot and to throw it upwards to hopefully knock him off course and back down to the old dock. “I’m here.” 

Typical Goku and Gojo sparring, nothing to be too concerned about. Hakkai knew that his two brothers were prone to having physical outbursts as a means of communication, and being the chill boar he was he didn’t see the need to step in. Besides, there weren’t any humans who could watch the brawl at the docks.

So instead of eyeing his brothers, Hakkai settled for waiting until the rig had anchored - surely nothing drastic would happen in that time frame anyway. Watching the crew slowly filing on and off the rig, he pondered at how non-perceptive these humans were - surely they could make use of a labor-oriented bot like himself to make their jobs easier? What Hakkai didn’t know was that he had subconsciously walked down the deck and stood in the queue of workers, and it was only their shrieks of fear (staring at a 2.5 metre robot with the physique of a wrecking ball would stop anyone’s heart) that snapped Hakkai out of his thoughts.

“Well, I guess da crew need’d me anyways. Oh well…” So off he went carrying the supplies to be dropped off here in HK offboard. A careful eyeing of the remaining freight and cargo confirmed that the rig was heading to the US, on a logically easterly path. Sure it wasn’t exactly a journey to the west, but compared with his isolation in NZ, the land of hope and glory did shine like a metaphorical beacon for Hakkai’s sometimes eastern restrictions.

Heheh, good question. Well giv’n dat I was built in da image of Cho Hakkai who would’ve practised Buddhism before his fall fro’ Heav’n n’ such, I guess tis a minor parta m’ programmn’, but given dat I eat whatevs is ‘vailable I dun think I’m props practising da custom o’ Buddhism. S’uh I guess not.

As for da belly… doesn’t hurt ta try I guess. My bros’ve never done it before so I wouldn’t know ta be sure.

After all these months, the G-unit would finally be back together again…
As much as he hated to admit it, Sago did miss Buster and Hakkai, he wouldn’t miss Hong Kong though, not by a long shot.

After acquiring ’permission’ from one of his supervisors, he got one of the smaller crates so he could store all of the supplied in it, not to mention it made for a great make-shift seat in the abandoned docks. Beside the crate was a small shopping bag which had a gift for the little Stardroid he had grown familiar with, although he probably wasn’t going to tell his brothers that, more likely lie and say it was for himself and hopefully wouldn’t notice it was quite a few sizes smaller then him.

Tapping the crate impatiently, he sighed for the 10th time that hour, awaiting the boat his brothers would be on. It would be dinner soon, Sago estimated it was about 5 in the afternoon, possibly 5:30. He had told them which dock he was going to be on and even gave them co-ordinates just in case.

“I wish those two would get here faster…I’m terribly bored.” He sighed for the 11th time.

The last few hours aboard the industrial rig were rather droll, but to be fair the whole journey was essentially a boring cycle of sun, moon and the occasional attempt to catch fish or sabotage the food supplies onboard. The one practice battle that Hakkai had organised for his brother ended, well, without much of a storm as neither of them were overly inclined to take their chances of being thrown overboard for disturbing the crew.

Goku had assumed his meditative pose at the bow as he usually did at sunset, tail whipping at an increasingly accelerated rate suggestive of his agitation. Hakkai too was awaiting landfall with quite some tension, but being the usually docile robot he was, the only sign of his anxiety was the twiddling of his gargantuan fingers.

“Eehhh, bl’dy hopn’ dese crew know whi’ way dere going, we’re like 2 hours late accordn’ ta Gojo’s scheduled time…” Reloading the co-ordinates - which didn’t say anything contrary to the current navigation - Hakkai let out a sigh, careful not to activate his buccal cannon which tended to fire at the most inconvenient of times. Times like these really make Hakkai want to lose his thoughts into food intake or sleeping, but given the proximity to the shore - it was only about 20 minutes away - he restrained himself from slipping into his somewhat ironic pig-like qualities.

Not soon after (thankfully) a loud blast from the rig’s whistle alerted the vicinity of impending landing. As the crew scrambled to prepare for docking, Hakkai took the opportunity to clamber near Goku, and gaze at the coastline for the familiar jade tinge of Gojo, the smarter of his two brothers (not that Hakkai would call Goku dumb or anything, but it was assumed knowledge amongst them all that Gojo was the superior intellect).

“Well, I spottd’im, give ya bro Gojo a wave Goku. C’mon!” Nudging the crimson monkey unit gently, Hakkai made a conventional (human) signal to his brother on the land, and then promptly sent an electronic message to him as well: «Should be about five minutes. Double check that the rig’s headed to America, and if not you should know how to make it. Talk to you soon. Hakkai»
