Jun sat in the repair shop, staring at the mess in front of him. He had just finished cleaning the space when he noticed something strange. One of the Cardbots—Mega Trucker, to be precise—had strange markings all over him. There were scribbles on his arms, legs, and even his face. Someone had used a marker to draw all over the Cardbot.

"Who did this?" Jun muttered, frowning as he tried to clean it off. But the ink wouldn't come off easily.

Blue Cop walked in, raising an eyebrow when he saw the chaos. "What happened here?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Did someone have a little too much fun?"

Jun's face turned bright red. "This isn't funny, Blue Cop. I'm going to find whoever did this and make them clean it up!"

As Jun went to grab some more cleaning supplies, a shadow flickered at the door. A figure stepped into the dim light of the repair shop, casting an intimidating presence.

Shadow X.

With his purple and black hair, his dark purple cloak, and his sharp green eyes, Shadow X exuded an aura of menace. He was four inches shorter than Blue Cop, but there was something about him that made him stand tall in the room. He looked like he was here for trouble.

"Blue Cop," Shadow X said, his voice dripping with venom. "You think you've been through it all? Think again. You've taken everything from us—everyone, including me."

Jun turned around, startled by the sudden entrance. "Who—what do you want?"

Shadow X ignored him, stepping closer to Blue Cop. "This is your fault," he growled. "If you had done things differently, we wouldn't be here. I'm going to make you pay for every little mistake. I don't care who you are or what your excuses are."

Blue Cop stood still, calm despite the anger in Shadow X's words. "I don't want to fight you, Shadow X. But if you're here to pick a fight, then I won't back down."

"I didn't come for your excuses, Blue Cop. I came for revenge," Shadow X hissed, his hands crackling with dark energy as he prepared to strike.

Mega Trucker, still marked up with the drawings, stepped forward, looking more angry than ever. "You're not going to get away with this! No one messes with my friends!" he roared.

Jun's hand hovered over the watch on his wrist, unsure of whether to summon the Cardbots to fight or to try reasoning with Shadow X. He didn't want things to escalate, but he knew that if he didn't act fast, things might get ugly.

"Blue Cop, do something!" Jun said, stepping back, worried about what would happen next.

Shadow X narrowed his eyes, staring at Blue Cop. "You better get ready for this. I won't hold back."

The tension in the room grew thick, and Jun's heart pounded. He had no idea how this would turn out, but one thing was for sure: things were about to get a lot more complicated.

As Shadow X charged at Blue Cop, his eyes filled with fury, his entire body crackling with dark energy, Jun instinctively stepped back, his heart racing. But Blue Cop, calm and unflinching, prepared himself.

In an instant, Shadow X lunged, aiming to strike with devastating force, but Blue Cop effortlessly sidestepped. With precise, fluid movement, he executed a swift kick to Shadow X's chest, sending him hurtling backward.

"Not today," Blue Cop muttered, his voice cold and firm.

Shadow X crashed into the repair shop's door, the impact knocking it off its hinges. The wooden frame splintered and cracked, sending shards flying as Shadow X was flung out into the open air. He landed hard on the ground outside, his body skidding a few feet before he came to a stop.

For a moment, everything was silent. Jun's breath caught in his throat as he watched, wide-eyed.

Mega Trucker's jaw dropped. "Whoa, Blue Cop... that was awesome," he said, completely impressed.

Blue Cop stood tall, his expression emotionless as always, but his eyes reflected a quiet strength. "I don't want to fight anyone, but if they come for me, I'll protect myself—and my friends."

Jun stood frozen, processing what just happened. "Did... did you just kick him out of the door?"

"Yeah, it seems so," Blue Cop replied, glancing at the now-destroyed door with a sigh. "I didn't mean to make a mess."

Jun shook his head, still in disbelief. "I can't believe you just did that! You just sent him flying like it was nothing!"

Outside, Shadow X groaned, slowly rising to his feet. His eyes, glowing with fury, locked onto Blue Cop. "You... you'll regret this, Blue Cop," he seethed. "I'm not done with you. Not by a long shot."

Blue Cop didn't flinch. He simply shook his head. "I don't have time for this. If you're done with your little tantrum, then leave. Otherwise, you'll be the one to regret it."

Shadow X glared at him for a few moments before turning on his heel, retreating into the shadows. "This isn't over," he muttered under his breath as he disappeared into the night.

Jun let out a breath of relief. "I can't believe you did that," he repeated, his voice a mix of awe and disbelief.

Blue Cop nodded. "Sometimes, you have to stand your ground. It's not always about fighting. It's about knowing when to defend what's important."

Mega Trucker laughed, clearly amused by the whole exchange. "Looks like you just made a pretty powerful enemy, Blue Cop," he said, shaking his head. "But hey, you handled it like a pro."

Blue Cop gave a small, almost imperceptible nod. "It's not about the enemies we make—it's about the ones we protect."

Jun smiled faintly, feeling a strange sense of pride in Blue Cop's calm resolve. Despite the chaos, the day had taken a surprisingly positive turn. "Thanks, Blue Cop," he said softly, "I think we're gonna be okay."

Blue Cop's expression softened just a little. "We'll be fine, Jun. I won't let anything happen to you or your friends."

The repair shop was quiet again, but for the first time in a long while, Jun felt a little safer.
