The Sharp-Shooting Audition

*Vibes looks confused*

Vibes (thought): What the heck...?

*She focuses*

Vibes (thought): Rote...Anty...find...help...

MEANWHILE...
*Rote walks down the street, asking about a girl of about 12, 130lbs, and 4'0". A girl in a dark hoodie slips behind a dumpster and knocks over a stack of bottles, Rote investigates*

*Rote sighs*

Rote (thought): This is all I need...

Maxi: Who goes there?

(Going to do a slight tweak if this is ok)

*Rote puts his hands up*

Rote: I'm a friend of your..."aunt's".

*Maxi checked for sincerity, he was right.*
Maxi: Who exactly is my "aunt?"

(Note: Doing this because Romana has a similar relationship with Vibes)

*Rote smiles*

Rote: You might know her as Auntie Vibes...And according to my scanner, you're from another dimension.

Maxi: No, it can't be! She died with the planet! How dare you try to tell me my aunt still lives?! *She uses her telekinesis to throw Rote into the wall.*

*Rote groans*

Rote: OK...I didn't think that through.

Maxi: *senses Vibes* Impossible...take me to her.

*Rote nods*

Rote: You got it.

*Maxi looks at Ricochet*
Maxi: Mom...?

*Ricochet looks confused*

Maxi: I know you, you're my mother! Don't deny it!

*Ricochet glares at her*

Ricochet: I think I'd know if I had a child!

*A familiar voice from behind* ???: She's tooling with you, she's trying to break you. Now, finish off these pests, we have work to do...

*They all look round to see who it is*

*A slimy black figure emerges from the shadows, changing the late afternoon into pitch black midnight. The dragon stretches her wings, dripping with darkness.*
Nightmare: Remember me? A good friend of mine hired me and Ricochet, here.

*Rote gulps*

Rote: What the heck is that?

Nightmare: Rote...you don't remember that dream capsule you trapped me in? Good times! Now, I have recreational assignment now that you've come along...

*Rote groans*

Rote: Oh boy here we go. Alright Dreamcast, you're going back in the box!

Nightmare: *lets out a chilling laugh* No...you will be...
*Behind her, Vibes deflates, sneaking up on Ricochet*

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes (thought): Easy...easy... sneaky sneaky...

Nightmare: Well, Well, well, if it isn't Veronica? *she cooed.*

*Vibes twists round*

Vibes: OK first up NOBODY calls me that...
