(BRRRRRRRRRR)

Cobra lowered a building down to the underground sections of Babylon.

Cobra:(whistles).....

Cobra: This is not too bad... If it weren't for the monsters...

He discovered the location of the giant monsters The other Zodiac used to invade the city.

Kept in this underground section, they roamed free.

Cobra:(mind) These are some big predators... If they're here...

Cobro:(mind) That probably means they want to deter people from going here.

Cobra: Dog was barking the truth... The Zodiac is interested in something down here.

Cobra: But where...

(Doot-doot-doot, doot-doot-doot)

Pulling out the communication device handed to him, Cobra answers the call.

Sanders:(coms) Update, Cobra.

Cobra: Did you know there's a city under the city?

Sanders:(coms) And?

Cobra: The big most dangerous beast are here. And according to the last Zodiac, I beat.

Cobra: Their big plans are down here. I'm about to investigate.

Sanders:(coms) Any news on the two other Zodiacs unaccounted for?

Cobra: Nope. And until I see them, they aren't my problem.

Cobra: Over and out.

Cobra:(grabs whip) Go time-

In the distance, the sound of a woman shouting could be heard. To far to make out, but close enough to be noticed.

Cobra:...

Cobra:(mind) I got a sour feeling about this...

Cobro: Hmm...

Cobra:(mind) Why sour? Hmmm... My instincts say this is something bizarre.

(Opening theme)

Dragon and Ox stood in a dimly lit laboratory.

(Dragon)

(Ox)

Dragon: Dog and Pig are silent... Cobra has gotten to them.

Ox: Calm yourself.

Dragon: How am I supposed to stay calm!? He's two points ahead!

Ox: The title of King isn't won by numbers but by who stays standing.

Ox: Keeping this alliance going until Cobra has run his course through the Zodiac is more efficient.

Ox: We can worry about unlocking this Babylon Prison for the King.

Dragon: Tch... Do you think it means jack to me if I beat Cobra after he's tired!?

Ox:(sigh)...

Ox: I'm not King, yet... I have no control over you.

Ox: You want to go out and fight, do me a favor and leave me to figure out how to open that thing.

Dragon:...

Dragon: Hmph. You have until everyone else is a bloody mess.

Leaping high into the air, Dragon leaves the room.

Ox:(mind) You're lucky we need someone strong-willed, Dragon...

Ox:(mind) Else, I would have put you down.

Ox: Hmph... Let's see if the Mayor is feeling more talkative.

(39 hours remain....)

Swinging across the underground city complex, Cobra follows the strange yodeling echoing across the cavern.

Cobra:(mind) What is that? It's definitely one of the Zodiac... But that song.....

Cobra:(mind) It sounds like a Himalaiac yodel version of "Bad Romance".

Following the "singing" to a fountain spot, Cobra found another Zodiac Sister. The living fashion statement of madness.

(Rooster)

Rooster:("Singing")

Cobra:(covers ears)

Atop the fountain, Rooster stood, before flipping in front of it to break out into a dance.

Rooster: It worked! My singing and dancing moves hypnotized you into coming here.

Rooster: Like one of those flute-playing Indians!

Cobra: Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Rooster:(dancing) Once I kick your ass. I'll be on my way to becoming King Rooster.

Rooster: Imagine it! Uniforms! Military budget! WORLD DOMINATION!

Rooster: Hahaha! All hail King Rooster!

Cobra: Yeah... As "thought out" as that plan is.

Cobra: With your "Lady Gaga, if she did porn" style of dressing. I wouldn't be caught dead in one of YOUR uniforms.

Rooster: Then I'll catch you alive.

Cobra:.....

Cobra: You're probably the biggest reason why I don't want to be associated with the Zodiac.

Cobra: Now let's get this over with-

Rooster pulls out a detonator.

Cobro:?

Rooster: I listen to no man, woman, or pet!

Rooster: This right here? Goes my way or to the highway in heaven!

Rooster: I put explosives everywhere! Up! Down! Side to side!

Rooster: I have enough explosives in this area to make a one-to-one scale of Horse!

Cobra: You look crazy enough to do that... And stupid enough to pull the trigger...

Rooster: You and I are going to have a good old fashion race before brawling.

Cobra: Let's skip the race, and just fight.

Rooster: NO!

Cobra: Why not? What's the point of this race?

Rooster: The point is, I accidentally already pressed the destination trigger.

Cobra: Huh?

Rooster: But it's on a timer. We've got like thirty at best.

Cobra: Seconds?

Rooster: Race you to that roof!

In a mad dash, she ran past Cobra who turned around on his heels and gave chase.

Cobra: You chicken-legged dolt!

(VS Rooster)

(KABOOOOM)

The ground beneath them exploded, launching the two Zodiacs into the air.

Rooster: WHOOOOO!

Cobra: WHAAAAA!?

The two flipped in the air to reposition themselves. Rooster corkscrewed as Cobra simply rolled up and spun.

(SLAM)²

The two landed on the roof of the building.

Rooster: I win!

Cobra: You blind like Pig?! Cause it was a tie-

Cobra: Why do I care what some crazy cyberpunk pop star thinks?

Pulling out his whip, Cobra swung at Rooster.

Rooster: Hey, why ya gotta hate?

She dodges Cobra's whip.

Rooster: This outfit is practical as Funk!

Cobra: Practical? You know what, I won't argue.

Rooster: Yeah. Be quiet, look below average, and enjoy the fan service.

Pulling out a pair of nunchucks that glowed like glowsticks. Rooster began showing off.

Cobra: Where did she-

Taking up the titular nunchuck pose, one handle over the shoulder as the other was under the armpit, both bottoms facing towards Cobra.

Rooster pulled a trigger and revealed a fireworks launcher built into her weapon.

(PHEEWWW)

Cobra:!

(WHOO-CHHH)

With a crack of his whip, Cobra deflected the fireworks, just as explosives went off underneath him, again.

(BOOOM)

Cobra: Tch!

Cobra:(mind) No way that was a coincidence!

Swinging his whip, Cobra activated the stiffener. The whip tensed up and stabbed into the side of the building, giving Cobra a tightrope ledge to grab.

Rooster: This looks like danger!

Running down the solid whip, Rooster approached Cobra and climbed up himself.

He leaned back to avoid a chuck strike to the chin.

Cobra responded with a high spin kick, only for Rooster to lean off the side and let herself fall.

Cobra:?!

Rooster having hooked her feet around the stiff whip hung upside down where she fired her fireworks again.

Cobra: Hmgh!

Cartwheeling down his whip, Cobra was only grazed by her fireworks attack which struck the ceiling in the city cavern, causing more of her explosives to go off early.

(CRASH)

Rooster: Whoooops!

Climbing down the whip-like monkey poles, Rooster flung herself up to kick Cobra who met her attack with a punch.

Pushing off his fist, Rooster landed on his hands.

Rooster: Look at me! I'm Monkey!

A bolder, broken off from the ceiling after that last explosion, landed on the tip of the whip handle.

(CHUNK)

With the bolder causing a catapult effect, the whip went flying like a thrown stick across the air. Cobra and Rooster hanging onto dear life.

(SHUNK)

The whip landed tip-first into the ground, staying standing. Rooster was hanging above Cobra in this situation.

Rooster: Firefighter was my third career option!

Cobra: I'd love to see you run into a burning building. The smell of Chicken would be great.

Wrapping her nunchucks around the whip, Rooster used it to spiral down towards Cobra.

Cobra: Hmph!

Holding on to his arm, Cobra lifted his legs to stop her momentum.

Rooster: Come on!

Now simply sliding down to Cobra's level, Rooster wrapped her legs around Cobra with enough force to keep them both in place.

Rooster: Ah~, this is scandalous!

Cobra: Yeah, yeah.

With basically a pole in between them, the two exchanged punches, as they leaned side to side to let the whip do all the blocking.

(STOMP, STOMP, STOMP)

Rooster/Cobra:??

The explosions gained the attention of a monster, who was fast approaching the two.

(Bite-Eyed)

Str: S   Spd: S+.
Int: D. . Dur: B

Danger: S

Special ability: Multi chomp

Rooster:(overdramatically) EEEK!

She hugs Cobra, who grabs her by the arms and pulls her close, making Rooster slam her head against the stiff whip.

Bite-Eyed: ROGH!

Chomping onto the stiff whip, the Monster pulls it out from the ground. Running off like a dog after catching its fetch stick.

With the whip back to being horizontal the two Zodiacs broke free from each other and got on top of the weapon.

Cobra: This is getting out of hand...

Rooster: I know, isn't it just great!?

Cobra:... Kinda.

Rooster swatted at Cobra with her weapon, but being an expert with rope-type weapons, he blocked it perfectly able to grab ahold of it.

Jerking it towards him, Cobra got Rooster to stumble forward.

But with how over dramatic she was, he knew something was off.

Rooster then flipped forward, getting her legs around Cobra. She then flung Cobra towards the mouth of the monster which opened a few jaws to try and bite him.

Cobra landed an inch from any teeth.

Cobra: I'm reeling you in.

Taking off the film reel like the wheel on his hip, which holstered his whip when not in use, Cobra placed it on the whip, as he pressed his feet on the side of the Bite-Eyed.

Activating its retract feature, the holster wheel made the stiff whip slide towards the monster, pulling Rooster towards Cobra and pushing the whip to be the majority on the other side.

(CRASHHHHHHH)

The whip began stabbing into the side of a building, making the monster spin wildly out of control.

Both Zodiacs went flying with nothing holding them down.

(CRASHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Both dizzy, reapproached the monster as they regained their composure.

Cobra, pulling out his whip from the monster.

Rooster: You're really fun! Ya know that?

Cobra: Always aim to please.

The two both swung out their weapons. Rooster fired fireworks like a cowboy as Cobra, who forgot to reattach his holster to his hip, launched the damn thing like a spinning top towards Rooster who wasn't expecting it.

(BONK)

Cobra:!?

Rooster:.....

Blood poured down her face as she stared blankly at Cobra.

Rooster: Ghu...ugh...!

She collapsed to the floor.

Cobra:...

Cobra:(mind) Keep calm and look cool.

Cobra:(mind) If someone is watching they'll think I did that on purpose...

Cobra: Hopefully that knocked some sense into you.

Cobra:(mind) Nice.

Getting his holster, Cobra killed the Bite-Eyed, before taking Rooster to a secluded place where he was quickly met by Robin.

Robin: Hey dude-

He stares at the bloody Rooster.

Cobra: She's alive.

Robin:(takes a picture)

Robin: Hey, it saves me a blood pack.

Robin: Still, I was going to give you a first aid kit, but looks like I need to use it on her.

Cobra: Can I put in a request for an upgrade?

Robin: Sure... But I can only do so much.

Cobra: I just need a saw blade that could attach to my holster. Preferably with retractable blades.

Robin: Hmm... There actually might be something like that in stock.

Robin: I'll work it out for you.

He picks up Rooster, throwing her over his shoulder.

Robin: Oh my gosh, dude... She smells like fry chicken. Like... Seriously good Fry chicken.

Robin: Have you taken a whiff?

Cobra: No. I don't smell unconscious women.

Robin: Well I can't help it, bro. She's right there and the smell is strong.

Cobra: Yeah, yeah. Just try not to see if she's finger-licking good.

With that, they went off in separate directions.

Cobra went off searching for the next Zodiac on the list, whilst unaware of the multiple people watching him, including Mittens and Jade.

Jade/Mittens:...

Mittens: Meow...

Jade: I know. These Zodiacs are completly over the top.

Jade: I'm kinda glad we have one on our side... But I wonder if we could get that guy too.

Jade: He seems more chill than what the rumors say about Tiger.
