As soon as they reached, Sparky noticed some unfamiliar faces around the lobby. He walked in with his head slightly slanted down shyly. Ariton walked ahead of him while Sparky followed tightly behind. Suddenly, a voice emerged from behind Ariton. "Hey Ari!" said the voice as a boy walked towards them. "Ah! It's been a long time Scar!" replied Ariton as he placed his hand out to initiate for a handshake. As they shook hands, Sparky stared at Scar, recalling where had he last heard the name. The image seem to be coming out but not.
"Somewhere had I seen this face. Heard this voice and seen this clothing style," thought Sparky in his mind. Scar looked at him and gave out a smirk. In that instance, memories began pouring back into Sparky's mind. The Summer 10 years ago, everything that happened, both the delightful and dreadful memories. The kid back then who always wore a bandanna around his neck and played around in the muds with him through leisure time. Also, the kid who eventually left the neighbourhood after the divorce of his parents. That was Scar.
"What are you staring so much at? Do I need to remind you about everything just like the good old days? You still remember me right, Ki?" asked Scar with a smile on his face."S-Scar? What are you doing here? I thought you left this place ages ago!" exclaimed sparky as he leaped towards Scar and gave him a big bear hug.
As they continued their conversation after a long reunion, Ariton interrupted them and reminded that they would soon have to depart for the mission. He went towards the front desk of the lobby where he grabbed a necklace and hung it around his neck. As soon as he did that, a blue screen shot up from the diamond, showing the details of the mission. Sparky was shocked but at this point, he decided not to question about anything out of the ordinary he see from now.
On the screen it states, "Street 47 - Intruder Alert! Mission: Eliminate the target at all cost and bring the surrounding citizens to safety . Time limit: 180 minutes from now."
"No time to stand there dumbfounded. Let's move! Grab the suits and equipments you need and come over! " shouted Ariton as he headed towards a floating platform at the other corner of the lobby. Sparky grabbed a suit and a long black sword before joining Scar and Ariton, hoping onto the platform. All of a sudden, a flash of light emerged out of nowhere and sent them away to their destination.
In a blink of an eye, they landed on top of a building. "This destruction is massive and umm Sparky what are you doing?" questioned Ariton as he turned around and noticed Sparky squatting on the ground. " I THOUGHT MY EYES WOULD BE GONE FOR SURE THIS TIME!" replied Sparky with teary eyes. There was a moment of silence before Scar and Ariton bursted into laughter.
"What's with that, you never change do you?" said Scar holding his stomach, trying to stop himself from laughing so hard. "Anyways, let's begin our search for this vigorous beast shall we?" he continued, finally able to control his feelings back. Sparky looked around the city above and he was shocked by the massive destruction caused by the 'intruder'. There were massive holes in the streets, ruins of skyscrapers and worst of all, corpses of the dead which were surrounded with dark red crimson blood. The pungent smell of the blood nearly made Sparky puke but he managed to keep it in.
"Hey how are we going to search for this intruder in this wide area?" asked Sparky. Pointing his finger towards the sky, Scar declared in a monotone voice "Area search!" Numerous ray of circular electronic waves were casted out of his pointed finger. "Enemy sighted. 1 North and 1 East, heading towards our direction at 55m/s. Casualties found. 10 of them at the area beneath us. Prepare your stances!" announced Scar loudly. "I will head for the one coming from North. Scar go for the casualties. Sparky go for the one coming from East. Immediately after completing your current mission, go assist the others," said Ariton as he headed towards the North, sky-walking by creating currents to push him up from beneath his feet.
"Take care of the one heading towards you. I'll come right back up after ensuring the safety of the citizens," said Scar as he jumped off the building with a somersault. Just a few seconds had passed before Sparky heard the phrase, "Target Locked."As the sight of the creature became visible, Sparky was startled. It was no creature. Rather, it was just a regular teenage girl or had he hoped.
She wasn't like any other teenage girls. Though about their age, her slim and tall figure made her stunning. She had blond hair with blue highlights tied up in a ponytail and wore a 'battle-suit' like costume but what made her different was neither of those. It was how she had prosthetics attached. She had an robotic arm, leg and even half a robotic face. Her heterochromia eyes of blue and green made her even more special. "Mae, preparing for a battle," said the girl.
"Mae? That is probably her name. I better get ready as she looks strong," thought Sparky in his mind. Sparky extracted his sword from his scabbard and prepared to engage a fight. "Eliminate," declared Mae as she fired a shot of gale towards Sparky. "Wait, Im not prepare-," said Sparky before getting cut off as he was blown, smashing towards the wall of the next building.
BOOM!
"Great this really hurt plus my suit is ruined now god dammit," shouted Sparky as he lifted himself up from the crash. Drip. Drip. Blood began flowing down from Sparky's left arm as he had knocked it at the wall to defend his head from crashing. "Try this!" shouted Sparky to Mae while placing his palm facing towards Mae. He focused his energy towards his palm and bearings of light began to gather and surround his palm. The energy from within his blood began to flow out, contributing towards the light.
"Assemble and launch, TAKE THIS! PLASMA RAY!" declared Sparky as he launched the ray towards Mae.
