“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.
“I already built a base from scratch! It’s finished and waiting for us! I had a lot of free time to kill while waiting for you bastards to decide you weren’t dead!” Goku hopped off Hakkai and scrambled his way up masts and ropes, making easy work of the physical preparations. The three of them together were a lot more competent, a lot more able, their programming allowed to sync up and assist one another. Even if they didn’t realize just how much better they were together.
Buster spent a lot of time (read ‘a few minutes’) thinking over the idea of new recruits. He had wanted that…but that was back before they had the full team together again. Now that the three of them were whole, did they really need anyone else?
…Maybe it was best to visit this guy and find out. “I’ll play your game, Gojo! We’re going to America. But don’t expect any extended visits. We’re just gonna rub in the old man’s face that we aren’t decommissioned yet, and inspect this new trooper of yours.”
Grabbing his own belongings, which pretty much involved hoisting the small bag over his shoulder and hoisted up the crate carrying the supplies, as much as he hated manual labour, working with humans fishing did help him carry such things as crates properly without strain. Setting it down where it wouldn’t be in the way, he looked up at Buster and gave a light chuckle. “A treehouse doesn’t count, Buster. I meant a real base with basic housing.”
Sitting back down on the crate, he mused for himself about how exactly he felt with his brothers again, for the few minutes of silence he had before Buster snapped him out of his thoughts, the kappa bot looked up at him again. “I wouldn’t have it any other way, Buster.” Yeah, maybe he can get used to it again, maybe Buster grew more mature since he had been gone…hopefully.
