Something that I learned that one of the PEA units was named Jeff. Apparently it was a nickname that the humans give them. Most of the others did not have a human name. They just had a number. I thought that it sucked. My sigh was taken as a dismissal. "You think that I am lesser to the others or something!? I completed 6 missions already. I'm not a defective!" he snapped. I looked at him and said "It's actually the opposite though. You actually have a name. My clanmates all have one. How do you guys go through life without anyone calling you a name?" "Why the fuck would I waste time talking to humans when I'm not here? These degenerate losers can't even be trusted to not fuck in the locker rooms." Jeff said. "I don't know what happened with that on guy, but they are just a pervert. I hope you banned him." I said to the PEA unit sympathetically. "We killed them." Jeff said casually. My jaw stopped. That was a bit extreme of a reaction. He was very nonchalant. I guess that they fucked around and found out. "This is our clan building. We don't take disrespect lightly." Jeff said with a smirk.
Duly noted. I would not be fucking in the locker room unless I had express permission from them to do so. Jeff was at one of the machines. While I was thinking on that, I saw Henry and Natsumi looking really out of place. Both of them were not gym rats like their friends. They just came to round out their numbers because they had some free time to come along. Jeff looked at them with a predatory look. "Those two don't belong here. I can't wait to break them." he purred. Looking at Jeff, I asked if he was going to be participating. "Yeah. 03 is leading a team of us PEA units. It is going to be a mission for us. That gets us closer to catching up to the Researcher factions." he said. Jeff then pointed out the other PEA units that were going to join him. I asked if that was okay. He shrugged. "If we are up against those two, it doesn't matter what I say to you. You know they could never match up to PEP units. They'll die against us PEA units." It was totally true. Unless Henry and Natsumi were both packing fresh military grade mods somewhere, the group would be slaughtered. That was why I was there.
When the gym finally closed for the day, we were left behind. The doors were locked and the leader showed himself. He glared at me. "Brianne. Why the fuck are you the one that constantly gets in our way? You even led riffraff from your loser city here into our home." he growled loudly. I pointed at 03. He blinked. "Your boys keep coming to my town to mess with my clanmates and I don't like it." I told the leader. He shrugged his shoulders. "If he joined up with you, he's a traitor. I told him to wander. You can't blame us for taking out trash like him." he said mockingly. I rolled my eyes. "Let's go already. We need to start the contest. We are invading you, so you guys can determine what we are doing." I told him. He smirked and said "If you are coming over to our gym, you have to play volleyball." I nodded. "Fine. What do we get if we win today?" I asked him. The leader just laughed at me. I frowned as he and his clan openly mocked us. "If you can win, we'll let you have your pick of the clan to fuck." All of my teammates looked at the females lewdly. "If we win, you die." the leader added seriously.
