CHAPTER ONE!
Nina was sound asleep cuddled up under her covers until one dreadful moment when the light of her room turned on that woke her up from her peaceful sleep.
She groaned while turning onto her right side opening her eyes to see Hiro standing at the doorway, dressed and he had his Megabot in his hand with a grin on his face that made her regret living with the Hamada's.
Closing her eyes, she sighs and asked, "What do you want?"
"Come on, get up! I'm gonna take you somewhere." She could hear the excitement laced in Hiro's voice as he spoke, but that still didn't provide any motivation for her to get up from her bed and get dress. That was a lot of work so late at night.
She opened one eye to look at him. "Is that somewhere where I think it is?"
"Maybeee." Hiro drags out the word and the look on his face made her know that she was thinking of the right place.
"Then I ain't going." She said. Shen pulled her covers over her head to hide the light as she tries to go back to sleep. She whines as her covers were pulled away from her and she glares at Hiro.
"Oh, come on. You love going to Bot Fights!" Hiro reminded her.
"That might be true, but it's the middle of the night." Nina pointed out.
Hiro stared at her. "Bot fights are usually at night. I don't see why this is any different." He let out an annoyed sigh. "You always act like this when I ask you to go to a Bot Fight."
Nina rolls her eyes and sits up. "That is also true. That still doesn't mean that I'll go with you."
Hiro sighes. "Okay, fine,"
Nina grins, thinking that Hiro gave up on trying to convince her to go, and lays back down, pulling the covers of the bed back over her as Hiro turns around to walk out the door.
"I'll just go tell Tadashi that you," He dramatically looked back at her. "Were actually the one who ruined the papers that were for one of his classes he had to redo."
Nina's eyes widened as she immediately sat back up in bed, pulling the covers off of her. She stands up and points at Hiro. "That was an accident and you know it!"
Nina wanted to wipe that evil smirk off of Hiro's face. "Then it shouldn't be a problem if I told him."
"I can't believe you're blackmailing me into going with you." Nina pouted while crossing her arms.
Hiro's eyes lit up with excitement and he turned around to face her so fast that Nina thought he might have whiplash. "Wait, you're going with me? Okay, great! Hurry up and get dressed! I'll wait for you in the hallway."
Nina watches as Hiro left the room, closing the door behind her. She let out a puff of air and she went to go get dress. "I can't believe he's blackmailing me. This is stupid."
Minutes later they arrived at their destination and Nina still regretted going with Hiro.
"Oh, come on. You'll have fun like always!" Hiro exclaimed, pushing past some of the people that were in the crowd to get in front along with Nina.
"Okay, then tell me," Nina looks around the crowd and then points at the big man who used his bot to crush another bot that belonged to a girl with pink hair. "Do you think you can beat him?"
Hiro grinned, showing the gap between his teeth and for some reason whenever he grinned like that Nina always got butterflies in her stomach.
He shows her his Megabot. "With this."
Nina stares at him in disbelief. "Are you sure you're a genius?"
Hiro rolls his eyes. "I graduated High School when I was young."
"Well, you're pretty stupid to think that you can use Megabot to beat that guy's bot who will definitely crush your bot so we should just leave now." Nina turns around to leave but Hiro grabs her arm and pulls her back.
"Nina, we're here to have fun, remember? You need to live a little and have some faith in me. I've won before!" Hiro told her as he let go of her arm.
Nina nods. "That's true but the bots that you have defeated looked nothing like that one." they both looked at the bot that belonged to the big man before looking back at each other.
Hiro shrugs and looks at her smugly. "I think I can win. I have a plan."
Groaning, Nina leans her head back. "I might as well call Tadashi now."
Hiro's eyes widened. "No!"
She jumped, startled at him suddenly yelling. He sent her an apologetic smile. "Don't call Tadashi. Everything will be fine."
It was soon Hiro's turn against the so-called unbeatable Yama and Nina was now standing in the crowd, anxiously watching.
She moved over to where not many people were at, but so she still had sight of Hiro. Knowing what's probably going to happen after this, she right arm that had her watch on closer to her mouth as she pressed a button that would call Tadashi.
The watch she made is like a normal watch, but you can call people on it and you can even see a hologram of the person if you press that call hologram button. When you press that button, it holographically displays whoever called you or whoever you called above the watch and you can both see each other that way. To turn it off you just press the same button. She has to admit it's one of her favorite inventions she made.
"Hello? Nina?" She heard Tadashi ask and by the sound of his raspy voice she felt guilty for waking him up.
"Tadashi, I'm sorry I just woke you up." she immediately apologizes.
"No, no. It's fine. I've been up for hours." She didn't believe what he said was true and she rolled her eyes as she heard him yawn.
"Why are you calling me if you're just down the hall?" Tadashi asks.
Nina bites her lower lip as she looks back at Hiro to see that his Megabot was fighting with Yama's bot now.
"You see, Hiro and I aren't exactly at home. I'm sure you know where we are so could you possibly come pick us up? I have a feeling it's not going to end well."
"Yeah, of course, Toni. I'm on my way. Be careful." Tadashi tells her.
Even though she was worried about what was going to happen she couldn't help the small smile at the nickname Tadashi called her. He was the only one who called her that. Whenever he first called her that it was by accident, but it just stuck and he has been calling her by that nickname ever since.
"Okay, thanks, Tadashi." Nina says, hanging up and looks up just to see that the fight had ended.
"No one likes a sore loser, little boy. Go home." Yama said as he was about to take the cash that was on the tray the women next to him was holding.
"I have more money." Hiro held up the big wad of cash as Yama smirks and agrees to fight with him again.
"Fighters ready? Fight!" The women exclaimed.
"Megabot, destroy." Hiro pressed a button on his controller and the happy face on his bot changed to a mean one as the two bots began fighting each other.
Nina's eyes widened in surprise when Hiro actually won. "No more little Yama now." Hiro took the money from the tray as he tried to hide the grin on his face.
"Wha...But how-!"
"I'm just as surprised as you are, beginners luck I guess." Hiro smugly says while he takes the money as Nina hopes that Tadashi would get their quicker.
She facepalms as Hiro asks, "Wanna go again, Yama?"
"No one beats Yama!" Yama shouted. Nina quickly ran over as Yama pushed Hiro up against the wall and takes Megabot away from him.
Nina aims the watch at Yama and presses a button that was on the side of the watch. She watches as it zaps Yama and lowers her arm as Yama turns around to glare at her.
"That didn't work..." She mumbled. She was hoping that would make Yama drop Hiro so he could get out of the way and they could start running. That did not happen.
Yama did let go of Hiro only to walk over to her. He laughs. "Did you have to get your little girlfriend to rescue you?" he asks and the goons with him laugh as well.
Both Nina and Hiro blushed. "We're not dating!" The both of them yelled which only made them laugh more.
Yama and his goons then stopped laughing. Yama turned to face his goons. "Teach 'em a lesson."
Nina starts backing up and ends up next to Hiro as the goons start walking over to them, but stopped when they heard the sound of a motorcycle coming towards them.
"Hiro! Get on!" The two heard someone yell and immedialtey knew it was Tadashi.
Hiro and Nina run over to Tadashi quickly. "Tadashi!" Hiro exclaimed with joy as he got on his brother's motor while Tadashi threw Nina a small blue colored cube.
"Thanks, Tadashi!" Nina exclaimed excitedly, catching the small cube.
She presses the top of it and it formed a blue colored hoverboard that levitates. It's not like a regular hoverboard, it's more of a gravity-defying hoverboard, but this one you can control where you go and how fast or slow you're going only by thinking of it. She gets on the hoverboard and the three of them rode off.
Hiro uses his controller to get his Megabot back from Yama and grins once its back in his hand.
"Are you guys okay?" Tadashi asks.
"Yeah." Hiro and Nina both say as Hiro looked back behind them to see that Yama and his goons were chasing them.
Tadashi then asks, "Are y
u hurt?"
"No." Hiro replies.
Tadashi attempts to hit Hiro on the head while still driving as he says, "Then what were you thinking?! You knucklehead!"
"You graduated high school when you were 13 and this is what you're doing?" Tadashi continues to scold Hiro.
"At least I wasn't alone!" Hiro responded.
Nina shook her head. "Uh-uh, don't bring me into this, Hiro."
"At least she called me. You two would've been in big trouble if I hadn't had shown up in time!" Tadashi told Hiro who rolls his eyes when Nina sent a smug look his way.
"Hang on!" Tadashi told Hiro who did what he was told as Nina flew on her hoverboard besides them. She flew over the ramp that Tadashi rode on and managed to jump over the goons while Nina easily did that with her hoverboard.
"Yes!" Hiro cheered, looking at his reflection in the building that was next to them with a grin on his face. Nina rolled her eyes at his reaction. "Bot fighting is illegal! You could have gotten arrested!" Shouted Tadashi.
"Exactly why I didn't want to go with Hiro, but did I have a choice? No, I did not." Nina grumbled, ignoring the glare that Hiro sent her.
"Technically, you did have a choice. It's your own fault for going along with him." Tadashi told her.
"I thought you were scolding, Hiro, not me!" Nina frowned. "And It's not my fault. Hiro's the one who blackmailed me into going."
"Hiro!" Tadashi scolded, sending a glare to Hiro before looking forward again. "You should know better than that."
"Sorry." Hiro apologized to Nina, sheepishly smiling at her. She just rolled her eyes event though she had a small smile on her face. "It's fine."
"And you should know better to not go bot fighting, but here we are." Tadashi sighed.
Hiro sighs. "Bot fighting isn't illegal! Betting on bot fighting however...Now that's...that's illegal!" he said as he held the money he won.
"I'm on a roll, big brother. And there is no one stopping me!" he held the money he won up in the air as he threw his arms up proudly.
Both Tadashi and Nina rolled their eyes at him and both came to a halt when police cars arrived in front of them.
Tadashi's eyes widened in panic. "Oh no."
Nina let out heavy sigh. "We're in so much trouble."

"This-this is why I never want to go anywhere with you because we could end up here!" Nina gestured around the cell that her and Hiro were placed in.
"I still regret going with you." Nina crossed her arms and looked away from Hiro who looked down at the floor, feeling guilty for getting her into trouble.
Nina looked across from them, biting her lower lip seeing the mad look on Tadashi's face. Tadashi was placed in the cell across from her and Hiro with the rest of the men that were caught. Nina was not looking forward to going home since she already knew they were going to get a scolding and a long lecture from Tadashi.
Soon Nina, Hiro and Tadashi were allowed to leave and the three of them walk out of the Police Station to see that Cass was pacing nervously.
"Hi, Aunt Cass." Hiro and Tadashi while at the same time Nina said, "Hi, Cass."
Cass immediately goes over to them and pulls them into a tight hug. "Are you guys okay? Tell me you're okay."
Nina smiles. "Yeah, we're good."
Tadashi nods. "We're okay."
Hiro rolls his eyes. "We're fine."
Cass sighs. "Oh, good." She then grabs Tadashi's and Hiro's ears and shoots a glare to Nina who looks down with a frown on her face.
"Then what were you knuckleheads thinking?" She drags them towards the car and Nina silently follows them.
The four of them get into Cass's truck, Nina ends up sitting between Cass and Hiro as Cass rants on about taking care of them. "For 10 years I have done the best I could to raise you." She looks at the boys and then looks at Nina. "And for 3 years I have done the best I could to raise you."
They arrive at the Lucky Cat Café as Cass continues on to rant once they get out of the truck. "Have I been perfect? No. Do I know anything about children? No. Should I have picked up a book on parenting? Probably."
She opens the front door of the Café as she looks back at the three. "Where was I going with this? I had a point."
"We're sorry." Nina and Tadashi apologize.
"We love you, Aunt Cass." Hiro speaks up with a small smile, trying to cheer up Cass.
The three of them jump back when Cass points at them rather harshly and angrily says, "Well, I love you too!"
She then opens the door and walks inside, the three of them silently follows her.
Cass walks over and picks up one of the donuts in the display case. "I had to close up early because of you three felons. On beat poetry night."
She then takes a bite of the chocolate doughnut and glares at them. "Stress eating. Because of you."
Cass then turns around and walks towards the stairs where Mochi the cat was resting on top of a table. "Come on, Mochi."
Mochi meows and jumps down from the table while Cass takes another bite of the doughnut.
"This is really good!" She mumbled as the two of them walk up the stairs.
