Ever since I escaped from Bionic Corp, I've been searching for a way to atone for what I'd done. Patch and Marisa told me to move on, it's in the past, they'd say. I can't do that. What about everyone I've harmed or killed? Do they not deserve justice? If Katrina is right about the map leading to the Annihilation Code, then I have to find it and destroy it. I won't let that damn code kill anyone else!
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXpgCFFRYo
Chase looked like he'd seen a ghost. He clutched my arm, so tightly he almost put a dent in the metal.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVfR6vBTOk
"What's wrong?" I surveyed the alleyway for any sign of danger. Nothing seemed amiss.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQnJzUYejN
"This crazy cyborg cornered me! They asked for the map to the Annihilation Code, but I didn't give it to them! He said, clutching me tighter.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DGQVgLQ3w
I froze. Could it be the same cyborg that attacked me a month ago? I reached into my pocket and pulled out a drawing of my attacker I sketched on one of the disposable coasters. I handed it to him. "Is this the cyborg?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL5jPRHNXF
He stroked his chin as he analyzed the sketch. "No. I don't think so. The mask is different. The cyborg that confronted me didn't have a skull on their mask, it was just plain black." He narrowed his eyes. "Your cyborg looks a lot more muscular too. Mine was pretty scrawny now that I think about it."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BfYou4gXn
Perhaps there are two different cyborgs interested in the Annihilation Code. It's very existence puts all cyborgs at risk. "What exactly did the cyborg do to you?" I asked Chase.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJQQBTInxw
"Well, they jumped out of nowhere and pounced at me, begging for the map. I didn't hand it over because I'm super brave and heroic."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrk6md66a
I raised an eyebrow. "You didn't have the map I did."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGGrMrO0yk
"Anyway, when I courageously refused to hand it over, the killer cyborg was like," He cleared his throat and did an impression of an old hag. "Call me Oblivion, for I am your doom, and then randomly started singing. I don't know what that was about. After that, they disappeared."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAobdx07m3
An overwhelming sense of panic grabbed hold of me. My heart palpated violently. A warning popped up on my cybernetics telling me to regulate my breathing, I ignored it. I counted backward in my head like I always did when a panic attack took hold of me, switching languages every time. Veinte, Nineteen, Dix-huit, Siebzhen, 十六, पंद्रह, أربعةعشر, Тринадцать, Doze, じゅういち, Dieci. Once I was calm enough to sign, I asked. "What song?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi9y0fO12i
Chase grimaced. "I don't know, it was in Icelandic or something, but my cybernetics translated it to something about a wolf eating children." He shivered. "It was freaky." He hummed the cursed tune under his breath.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnKvJLaFgb
I trembled. That's the song that plays in my nightmares. I prayed I'd never hear the wretched melody ever again. Now every vile note came flooding back to me. "Russian."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SVi7RwS2a
"What?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UJPvUtdRh
I took several deep breaths, trying to steady myself. "The song is in Russian, not Icelandic."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2MHJGKke
He shot me a questioning look. "How do you know?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITrpMY3HJZ
"Because that song is the Annihilation Code."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tJiIG3iGy
Chase'seyes widened. "What? That's the cyborg murder code?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwiBDCGfA
I nodded gravely.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQO1n1bHHK
"Then why didn't I die?" He placed his hands on his hips.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMqQL50sBN
"Patch was the one who installed your cybernetics, not Bionic Corp. He was kind enough to exclude the kill switch from your programming." I explained.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfxJDfQYD7
"So, I'm immune to the murder code?" Chase said, with a glimmer of smugness in his eye.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqKx5zSjtl
"It appears so, but don't test your luck," I replied.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9WfWyUPdu
"You know, I always thought the Annihilation Code would be something much cooler."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVk6iDyTF5
"Why would Oblivion need the map if they already have the Annihilation Code?" I asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBt083z65W
Chase rubbed his chin. "Maybe they don't want anyone else to have it. They want to keep it for themselves."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBKAwaNthQ
I nodded. Maybe, Chase wasn't as stupid as I thought. I took one last glance around the alley, then began marching towards the street.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeRkYldX80
"Where are you going?" Chase asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjqqgIPf2
"I need to find Gabriel St. Martin." If what Chase said is true, then it was crucial for me to destroy the code before anyone else could learn it. Which meant I needed to reconcile with Gabriel, even though I didn't want to.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ksefOtkA
"Hey, wait up!" Chase sprinted after me.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6DVqOt6JG
Whatever, I didn't care one way or the other if he tagged along, as long as he stayed out of the way.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIw37WmrdK
I maneuvered my way down several alleyways until I reached the old shed where I kept my Hover-Cycle. I slid the key into the lock and swung open the door.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE3tbZdnTg
Chase panted heavily, as he struggled to keep up with my pace.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdPyLfcB0D
I stepped inside the shed and retrieved my helmet. I extended my spare helmet to Chase.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jNfYP0c9
He shook his head. "You expect me to drive one of those? Um, no, thank you, those things are dangerous!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQqXOmTCUc
"I'll be the one driving," I responded. "I don't have time to walk." I pushed my Hover-Cycle out of the shed. I took a moment to admire the immaculate paint job I'd done on it. I'd painted red and black with an image of a roaring tiger on the sides.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5lkegzkyx
Chase stared at the Hover-Cycle with apprehension.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuztlqJPC
"You don't have to go," I signed. "I can download directions back to Patch's workshop on your cybernetics."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VTj3mZ7s
"No way!" Chase protested. "Somebody's tried to kill me twice, and I'd like to know why! I need to know who's responsible for this!" He gestured towards his cybernetic parts.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXfu9V1zs8
"I can't promise you'll find the answers you're looking for."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiHjYbcgNI
He wrapped his arms around himself in a sorrowful embrace. "I don't have anything left to lose."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgfyI0FFef
I shrugged. Fair enough. I sat down on my Hover-Cycle and motioned for Chase to do the same.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRjaaq0oUE
Chase reluctantly put on the spare helmet. "Fine, but I'm not wrapping my arms around your waist or anything."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIWeMpZUw0
"Alright, have fun falling off."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajFBcE4Egj
I weaved my way through the crowded streets of Ikigai II. There were no cars on the island. The streets are far too narrow to maneuver a vehicle of that size, and they aren't necessary. Ikigai II is only two square miles, so most people walk from one place to another. Don't let the island's modest size fool you; it has a population of over 35,000 people. The population is vast and diverse, which makes sense since the island docks in every corner of the world. Thanks to cybernetic translation technology, the language barrier became obsolete.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mYVKWf76I
After making several sharp turns, Chase begrudgingly clutched onto my shoulders. We navigated through the winding streets until we reached the center of Ikigai II. Standing smack dab in the middle of the island was the Cybrawl stadium. The architecture was inspired by the Roman Colosseum, with a modern twist.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxjSQLy3q2
I parked outside the stadium, removed my helmet, and dismounted the Hover-Cycle. Chase did the same. We entered the stadium's crowded atrium. There must be a Cybrawl today. That could make getting a meeting with Gabriel difficult.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoesfTOt2Y9
"So, how are we supposed to get a meeting with this guy?" Chase asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kmY1Nbjyo
I marched up to the private elevator that led to the commentator's suite.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZcSlyvEL
A frazzled-looking intern ran up to us. "I'm sorry, sir, but no guests are allowed up there!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVudBSWBFcl
I flashed my V.I.P. Access badge.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPB7tRIrDF
The intern narrowed her eyes at the badge. "This looks very official, but no visitors are allowed in the suite during a brawl."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bWpg4Iewb
"Are you giving my favorite godchild a hard time, Erica?" I heard a familiar voice say over the intern's earpiece.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrzliljtJJ
"No, Mister St. Martin!" She stammered.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7t5AcPNFG
"Let him in." Gabriel St. Martin said, exasperated.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7GCDUEh3U
The intern eyed Chase. "There's someone here with him. Do you want me to allow both of them up?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt8M8N2n9W
The security camera on the ceiling turned around to face Chase.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHJk5dF6U
"If it isn't Chase Huxley," Gabriel said over the earpiece.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gzC7BR9vQ
"It is!" Chase said. "Since I'm a super famous celebrity, can I come up to the commentator suite?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TIWxA9DO
Gabriel chuckled. "Sure!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IwnUkwJzQ
The intern puckered her lips into a petulant expression, but she didn't argue. She punched in a password on the keypad outside the elevator, and the door opened. "Have a nice visit."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC73wn7ciiB
Chase and I stepped into the gold elevator. I stared blankly at the doors as they closed. I know Gabriel, and I know he won't give up anything for free. I'm afraid of what he'll ask for in exchange for the map. I wonder if he knows what it leads to. If he does, the price will be much higher. Whatever the price, I will pay it. I must destroy the code at all costs.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvSyydndP
The elevator dinged and the door opened. Gabriel was standing there to welcome us. "Greetings, gentlemen. What a surprise!" He extended one of his cybernetic hands for us to shake. He shook Chase's hand and then mine. I glanced my old mentor up and down to see how much he'd changed since the last time I saw him. Today, he wore a garnet-colored blazer with a black tie and slacks. He still kept his hair in its trademark style, a fade on the sides with dreadlocks on top. I noticed small flecks of gray in his jet black hair, and wrinkles started to show on his deep brown skin. Has it been that long since I last saw him?
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WTAkjhYWL
Gabriel ignored me and focused his attention on Chase. "It's not often I encounter a fellow American in this place. Allow me to officially welcome you to Ikigai II."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x7u5xPsqa
Chase smiled. "Thanks, I hate it here."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHfJwvtl7Y
Someone snickered from the back of the room. "Finally, someone who's honest." I turned my head to see who it was. Adrien Kumar leaned up against the back wall. He still carried the facade of disinterest everyone had come to expect from him. He was also dressed in an immaculately tailored suit. There must be a special fight going on today. Cybrawl hosts don't usually get dressed up unless there's a special event going on.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjski0hmXjC
The island's foundations creaked beneath us, and Chase had to bite back a yelp.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcrnHcyENa
Gabriel gave a dismissive wave of his hand. "You'll get used to it, everyone does."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTqTxcEgxu
"No. I've lived here for decades, and it still sucks." Adrien retorted.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbijalSyGAS
Gabriel scowled at him.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkt5nP8Dwn
"Why do you live here, if you don't like it?" Chase asked Adrien.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLenvbyXZu
A smirk spread across his sharp features. "Because Ikigai II has the greatest Cybrawls in the world."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KSQ9ixo6h
"Have you ever seen a Cybrawl?" Gabriel asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNPqWUL6c1
Chase shook his head. "No, but my best friend Mason is obsessed. He streams every single brawl, so I've seen a few of the highlights."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna7rYMEC2v
Adrien cringed. "American Cybrawls don't count. They lack the most fundamental facet of any Cybrawl, bloodshed."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbqWFkdHpJ
"Okay, then." Chase laughed awkwardly. "I hear you two are Cybrawl legends." He said, trying to redirect the conversation.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT55hOMBiQ
"We're not just legends," Gabriel bragged. "We're the greatest fighters of all time."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQteeRU6vnB
"No one can rival us," Adrien confirmed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhkXB0VxZ
"Have you ever battled each other?" Chase asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ107EJKVqSt
They shot each other a knowing smile.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI0d4iPI6G
"We did, once," Gabriel said. "It wasn't televised. It was a private duel between me and Adrien. We wanted to settle once and for all who was the ultimate champion."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0jhe5oYv
"That was one hell of a fight." Adrien reminisced.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbJ88RslK8
"Well, who won?" Chase was on the edge of his seat now.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0YfeuTfhR
They both chuckled. "It's our secret."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14K1VavIHL
When I first heard the story, I begged them to tell me who won, but no matter how much I pestered, they refused to say. I'd always found that odd. Both Gabriel and Adrien enjoy bragging and one-upping their competition. Why do they keep this a secret? I don't think I'll ever know.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1XnfKE7z
"You can't just leave me hanging!" Chase protested.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDoRBA0nTV
Adrien folded his arms. "We can and we will."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbad47Lupg
My eyes drifted to a framed picture of Gabriel, Adrien, and Patch. They all looked so young, it was almost startling.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIoKHuPeLA
Gabriel caught me staring and moved the photo closer, so we could get a better look. "That was us at our very first tournament. We were nineteen at the time, the same age you are now." His lips upturned, in a brief smile.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaXWOrJxOZ
Chase gawked at the photo. "Is that Patch? He looks just like Atlas!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI2GtYoSpg
I nodded. I'd always been told I looked like Patch.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutS1G2ZAUC
Chase ran his fingers over the image. "So, how did you guys meet Patch?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO5bDr7Lo5
"Right after Patch defected from Bionic Corp, he got a job as a medic at the arena where we had our fights, and Adrien and I spent a lot of time in the infirmary. Patch became one of our closest friends."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpW4kunMLO
"So, are you really Atlas' godfather?" Chase asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG4y3OTypf
Gabriel nodded.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXx88kWuoX
"He requested that Patch would make him my honorary godfather, and in exchange, he'd protect me from Bionic Corp." I clarified.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9bcE3Qzgr
Gabriel tried to put a hand on my shoulder, but I jerked away. I don't want his affection.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwK7Ohukc
"Are you still mad at me?" Gabriel asked. "I thought you came here to make amends."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLP5vjahJG
I told the truth. "I don't know."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpv1eIE1iX
Chase spoke up. "Actually, we're here for a map. It's–"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2aYaUn3U
"We know." Adrien cut him off before he could finish his sentence.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeLEwI5pEi
Gabriel shook his head. "It seems everyone is after that dammed map these days."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWRwRCrrrH
"Who else has been asking about it?" I asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJNgtBOcIu
Gabriel scoffed. "Bionic Corp tried to bribe me into handing it over. They offered to cover the cost of this entire event."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdS3d5qjVy
"How much did they offer?" Chase asked. "I don't like to brag, but I'm pretty rich. I could probably pay you even more."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjMYxTdKMI
"They offered me 54 million credits."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qotvEj3Nu
Chase let out a slow whistle. "I'm not that rich."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEtzIo0P1
"Are you going to accept Bionic Corp's offer?" I asked, dreading the answer.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZGa2vadEY
To my surprise, Gabriel said, "No. I'm not. I don't trust Bionic Corp, not one bit. If anything Patch has said is true, that company is corrupt to the core and I don't want anything to do with them."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWHIsk1n7v
"You said no to 54 million credits?" Adrien exclaimed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpMR2VTOlE
"It's not worth getting involved with a shady corporation that abuses cyborgs like us," Gabriel replied.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJNVD4P51i
Adrien shrugged his cybernetic shoulders. "Whatever, it's your map. Trade it to whomever you want."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGKa0FPWq
I gazed at Gabriel earnestly. "What do you want in exchange for the map?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ee21eZsRH
"Why do you want it?" He asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLm6o42le4
"It's important to me," was my only response. There was a chance he didn't know the potential significance of the map, and I wasn't ready to put all my cards on the table.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ143OwvVifg
Gabriel paused for a moment, contemplating his answer. "I want you to fight for me one last time."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuXemyAoGt
I sighed loudly. "You haven't changed a bit, have you? You're going to exploit me for your own gain again."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQEETaZQ1
Chase picked at his fingernails, trying and failing to seem uninterested in our quarrel.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8A6DYu4SO
"I fought in a few Cybrawls when I was a teenager and Gabriel was my manager," I told Chase to clue him in.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpfJnBMvr5
Chase eyed me up and down. "You were a Cybrawl Fighter? You're so small and scrawny!
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKYzzaQ9Du
I rolled my eyes. Chase and I have the exact same physique, he's just a couple of inches taller.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlouBFCVHy0
"Do you know what everyone loves?" Gabriel asked Chase.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZRFlnGeQy
"Cupcakes?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYvzk2WLCs
Gabriel laughed. "No. Everyone loves an underdog, and that's what Atlas was, someone you could root for. He was young, determined, and easy to relate to. He was everything audiences loved."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0lmgkOXtX
"Why'd you stop?" Chase asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEfL73BvnX
I folded my arms defensively. "I was tired of being forced to give and receive punches for a living."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1z6vMNY5
Gabriel clenched his fists. "Don't pretend like I coerced you into fighting. You could've left at any time, but you didn't because you enjoy inflicting pain. I've seen it in your eyes when you fight." His expression softened. "I know it's not your fault Bionic Corp programmed you that way."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRcH3jHeWC
His words tore through my heart because they were mostly true. He was wrong about one thing: my programming didn't make me violent, I had killed once before then. I've never told anyone, not even Marisa. "You're wrong." My hands shook as I signed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJi73S3K7V
"If you say so." Gabriel reached into his jacket and pulled out two red glowing knives.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFoCpiVfCn
Those knives were mine once upon a time. I hadn't seen them in ages, but I still remembered the best way to carve someone open with them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3PmPl7xAv
"I knew you'd come back someday, so I kept your knives safe for you." Gabriel rested a hand on my shoulder.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACDSJi3ZdK
I glanced at Gabriel and then the knives. "Why do you want me to fight again so badly?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zp52PgUs8
"I've missed having you around."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu8p4utuuq
I raised a skeptical eyebrow. "That's all?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXJPEVsmvO
He tilted his head to the side. "Well, one of my fighters has been begging to spar against you. Apparently, he's a big fan. "
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4XHyTKmBd
My stomach churned. Something didn't seem right about all this. "Who am I fighting against?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7m4lX91wR
Gabriel pulled up the fighter's profile on his Holowatch. Cyborg 131191514 Code name: Vindicator. Therewereseveral photographs of a muscular cyborg wearing a tattered cloak and a skull mask, beating his opponents to a pulp. I pulled the coaster out of my pocket and cross-examined my sketch with the pictures in front of me. It was nearly a perfect match. Vindicator is the cyborg that tried to shoot me a month ago! My heartbeat began to race and I felt a panic attack coming on. I shook my head. "I won't fight him."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGGvj9hala
Chase glared at me. "We can't leave without the map!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2lk6BCa2x
I counted backward in my head. "I'm sorry, I can't do it."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFsVDJBYJt
Chase raised a hand. "Can I take his place in the brawl?"
