< Skill: Newbie's Strike >
As Rangga hits the Fastrunner, he then leaps as he smashes his head to the ground lifting it up so his feet can't touch the ground to run.
" Hey pal ... " the Fastrunner says.
" Just because you pick me from the ground, doesn't mean that I will use my powers to run faster than you !!! " the Fastrunner says as he tries to run in the skies as Rangga holds his shoulders but ...
"( This is strange ... )" the Fastrunner says.
"( I can't draw up my *fast !!!!! )" he says as his movement are getting slower and slower.
As the Fastrunner person tries to draw his fast, Rangga then thought to himself as he realizes that the effect that he cast upon him earlier.
"( Wow it worked ...!!!! )" Rangga thought to himself.
"( It seems Magic sometimes does the job more right than Meta powers I see...)" Rangga says as he holds the Fastrunner harder making him feel a bit of pain.
" Oooowww !!!!! "
" Okay okay I got you, I lost !!!!! " the Fastrunner says to him as Rangga interrogates the person about everything.
" So .... you only come here just because some of the punks you defeated told you that they found an unused factory filled with unused trucks which happen to have Tier Ascender Drugs inside it? " Rangga asks him as he asks System to analyze him..
" Yeah .... bloody right mate, .... "
" Didn't you know, .... there are rumors around the Metapunks society that the Power Corp's abandoned factories are very rich in storing the Tier Ascender Drugs ..!!! "
" So ... is that why you daringly came here alone? "
"Where's your mates, aren't you punks supposed to be raiding together just like the usual punks? " Rangga asks the Fastrunner as he found it very unusual for Metapunks such as him to work alone since it is always a common behavior that these punks work in groups.
" Nahhh mate .... " he answers him.
" After the Siege, many Metapunk gangs have been in turmoil recently thanks to that Titan Boy on the bloody TV !!! " he says to Rangga as he was unaware of who he is.
" Why? " Rangga asks.
" Because now there are only a few of you survive ...? " Rangga adds to his question as he learned from Max before they came that the Metapunks number has been decreased recently.
" Oh .. not just that mate ... " the Fastrunner answers him.
" The Siege may decrease our number of groups and individuals ... "
" But the true problem is after the Siege was over .. some of the strong Metapunk gangs have to reclaim so much power that they created a ... a .... " he says while looking around.
" A .... more .... centralized system that consists of..." the Fastrunner says as he looks around him.
" Umm ... mate .... "
" It may be rude for me to ask a .... 'Vigilante' guy like you but ... "
" Could you please take me somewhere safe ...? " the Fastrunner ask the masked Rangga as Rangga sees the System telling him.
" After all, even with my fast, I'm still not safe enough from those punks onslaught under this dark night," he tells Rangga.
< Recommendation: >
< Bring this guy into a safer place. >
< Or ... >
< Use one of your trickster skills .. >
"( Good idea System ... Trickster skills always saves my time. )" Rangga says as he uses his trickster skill creating a barrier that covers them both making Max who watches from afar unable to see them.
"( Hey Rangga !!! ... where are you !!!!!??? )" Max asks him as he communicates with his telepathy,
"( I'm still here Max, I'm just using my skill to cloak our presence from the environment. )" Rangga says as he uses another Trickster class skill.
< Skill: Silent Curtain>
< Effect: This barrier cloaks the user and everything around it as it also cloaks the inside's voice and noises making it very silent so it appears by other people that the user is not there. >
After the curtain was cast, Rangga then tells the Fastrunner to tell everything that he know about the current situation as Rangga was unaware of this kind of system.
" What do you mean by ... ' more centralized system'? " Rangga asks him as the guy replies.
" Well you see ... Mate !!! "
" The punks over this district have been submitting themselves to the main gangs of the Metapunks world .. "
" These gangs consist of Three Triumvirates that rule over the teenagers' underworld and etc etc. "
" Making them all rich, since their leaders to are mostly teenagers ... "
" Really ...? " Rangga asks him as he suddenly remembered something, someone that is probably at the same age as him.
" Are you sure their leaders are mostly teenagers? " Rangga asks him again as he thought someone he probably know would be likely to be involved.
" I don't know much about that mate ... " the Fastrunner tells him.
" But it seems in this era, the younger people had the balls to rule everything as they ditch the old ones like me !!!! "
" When I first look at the new punks I saw, their ages could be likely less than 17."
" Even worse these bloody-ass punks are now more dependent on their drugging as they all have their power from it !!!! "
" Rather than training their already advanced abilities over normal humans ..!! " the Fastrunner guys say.
" I see ... " Rangga tells him as he thinks for a bit.
" If what you said was true, then no wonder the punks I have faced weeks ago have an abnormality inside them."
" They were all Ascender drug users, using medicines to mutate their body cells!!! " Rangga says.
" Now do you get it Mate !!!!? " the Fastrunner says truthfully as the System scans says that he is telling the truth just like Max who says that also after he sees his memories from afar.
"( He is not lying bro ..!!! )" Max says telepathically.
"( From what I see .... he's actually sharing with you the details of his sorry life probably because this is not his era anymore after all he is now over 19. )" Max tells him.
"( So at least his experience could make him a useful source person .. )" Max adds to Rangga as Rangga asks the Fastrunner more about the situation.
" I have no more to say, kid .. just my experiences and regrets of being old in my work .. "
" As I hated these newcomers, I decide to destroy their main source of confidence."
" Which is why that is the main reason I fastly came here ..!! "
" To end those bloody-newcomers source power once and for all ...!!! "
" And even you wouldn't stop me because I !!! "
" Okay I believe you ... " Rangga says as he deactivates his barrier skill.
As Rangga does that, he then shows the container as he asks the guy to destroy it as he offers him a match which the Fastrunner does it happily as he destroyed all of it.
After he destroys the remains, he then leaves the scene as Rangga lets him leave.
" He is just walking by, to do the things he should do in his era ... " Rangga says in the empty environment.
" Does it scare you? ... to have your power supply .. be destroyed in an instant in your very eyes? " Rangga asks as suddenly the enemies shoes themselves as they decloak their camouflage.
" You got balls there Mr. Black Suit !!!!! " said one of the decloaking punks as he draws his Meta power.
" Letting some old era rubbish to burn our supplies into dust !!!!! " one of the punks shouts as he stares at the armored Rangga.
" Just who are you anyway !!!!?? " he says as he comes with his whole gang.
"( Ah yes ... it seems I already managed to attract some important person I guess ...? )" Rangga says to himself as he relaxes his muscles and joints as he prepares himself.
