Brotherhood (invite: hipo)

At the front desk, Penny sat reclined, wearing her usual vest uniform. Her headset rested on her...head, and she closed her eyes, sighing. Playing with the headset, she was about ready to call Tadeo and Christel, to see if they could all go out again.
"Wonder what those two are up to, now? Why're they even still in this hotel, what with their kids and all? Lemme give em a call, see how they're doing."
Before she was actually able to patch the call through, that Shadic guy who Tadeo's friends with walked through the doors, with some kind of robot with a machine gun for an arm. She panicked a bit, and sat up straight. He was lucky there wasn't anyone in the lobby today. She couldn't quite find the words to describe it, but she called up Tadeo immediately after Shadic said everything was going to be okay. She whispered very intensely into the headset.
"TADEO, YOUR FUCKING BLA-, uh, FRIEND IS HERE WITH A ROBOT WITH A MACHINE GUN WITH AN ARM! DO SOMETHING PLEASE!"
"Wait, what was that?"
"WHAT WAS WHAT?"
"The thing you were gonna say before 'friend?'"
"NOTHING! JUST PLEASE DO SOMETHING!"
Immediately, Penny hung up the call.

Tadeo looked at the phone. He didn't have the slightest idea what she was talking about down there, but he picked up the whole "minigun-for-an-arm" part. He wasn't too pleased about it, and no matter what friend of his it could be, he wouldn't be pleased about them bringing a minigun robot into the hotel. Well, of course if it was Skylar, or Shadic, or Edgy, or Lizbeth, or maybe even Reku, he wouldn't care at all, but really, what were the chances of it being any of them? Probably none, right? Christel looked at Tadeo, raising an eyebrow.
"What was that? It sounded urgent."
"Something about a guy with a minigun robot in the hotel. Why would someone come in here with that?"
"Not like you've come in with anything less dangerous."
"Name one thing I brought into the hotel that's more dangerous than a robot with a minigun arm."
"Edgy. Shadic. Azuki. That jet you decided to park on the top of the fucking hotel for some reason. Me."
"Touche, I asked for one thing, and I forgot I had that parked up there. Huh."

"Aren't you gonna greet your friend?"
"Yeah, sure. Keep the kids away from the door."
"I'm not stupid, Tadeo."
"Really, 'cuz I don't remember being the one-"
"Don't you dare bring that up at a time like this."
"Woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop."
Yes, that was a fucking Zoidburg impression. Tadeo walked up slowly to the door while Christel stayed behind on the bed with the children, quieting them down and not letting them make a sound. Tadeo waited patiently at the door, looking through the peephole to see who it was exactly that was coming.

Tadeo waited patiently by the door, looking for the robot with the minigun arm. Surely enough, the robot came out and Tadeo saw it in the peephole. He heard it say something about "engaging," and at that moment, it was time to retaliate. Wasting no time, Tadeo summoned Defiance, readying the blade and waiting for his foresight to go off so he could deflect the bullets. However, it didn't go off, and there were no bullets. Confused, he heard a knocking at the door. Grabbing the handle and turning it, throwing it open, Tadeo looked at his visitors, with Defiance still in hand.
"WHOM THE FUCK- oh. It's just you, Shadic."

Tadeo twirled the blade a bit and then sheathed it, having it dissipate into the air. He sized up his comrade and the robot, wondering why he brought it here in the first place.
Wait, so what the hell was Penny talking about when she saw Shad- OHHHHHHH, it's 'cuz he's bla- 
Crossing his arms, he raised an eyebrow and looked at his friend in confusion.
"Okay, so real quick? Why'd you bring a robot death machine thing here to my hotel? You don't needa bring that as any kinda entry fee. I'm not gonna let you guys in or anything until you explain that first."

Tadeo kept his arms crossed as the robot scanned him, not moving at all and having no reaction. This never happened to him before, but he didn't care much. He just stared down the robot. Shadic explained the situation to him, and this became clearer to the green-haired Saiyan. He let out a sigh as the robot finished the scan.
"Kinda surprising someone sent this thing out to look for me. I'm not all that wanted."
Probably 'cuz I'm needed and wanted here. 

Watching the robot take a step back and explain its purpose, Tadeo complied to following it. He looked back into the room, where Christel and his kids were in the far back of the room.
"I'm gonna be gone for a while, I'll be back before sundown. I think."
"Don't get yourself killed. Say 'bye' to Daddy."
The children waved to Tadeo as he closed the door behind him. He walked with Shadic and the robot, chuckling at Shadic's comment.
"Most exciting thing that would happen all day, though."
Tadeo sized up the robot, quickly. Even though it had a minigun arm, there was no doubt that it would do nothing to Tadeo or Shadic if they engaged in combat.

Walking out of the hallways, down the stairs, and out into the lobby, Tadeo waved to Penny.
"It's all right. I'll be back later."
"How are you friends with that guy?"
"'Cuz he's a nice guy."
Penny hid behind her counter with her headset on, watching as they'd exit the hotel. Turning to the robot, Tadeo's face went back to serious.
"Okay, so tell us about this 'creator' who sent you. Anything else you can say about him? What he's like? Who he is exactly?"
Tadeo doubted he'd get much of an answer from the machine, but it was worth a shot.

Tadeo flew next to the robot, looking puzzled and trying to figure out who it was referring to.
It's great that you don't even give me a name. I just love vague and ominous descriptions. 
Tadeo tried figuring out who it was with the robot's descriptions. No matter how many times he tried, he just couldn't figure it out. This got on his nerves a bit, seeing it as the robot's fault for not being more specific.
Stupid piece of scrap metal. 

"Wait, if he does business with Capsule Corp, why haven't I heard of him, yet? I'm, like, their best employee. And maybe their only best employee. Ms. Gero tells me almost everything, including who we're dealing to."
The thought suddenly occurred to Tadeo, to ask what kinda species this guy was.
"This guy you're talking about, is he a Saiyan like us?"
Flying alongside the robot, Tadeo could see West City in the distance.
Ya know, I coulda just opened a Gate to here.
