"I'm... Just having..." Ted found it hard to speak. "Focus! We need to reach the next location." The car sets the second coordinates and Ted drove to the next location. When he reached the location, he found multiple bodies lying around, he exit the car and found someone standing in a psychotic stance. The person revealed itself to have an appearance of a boombox but transformed into a human, its mouth broke and has only one eye. Ted tried to hide from the psycho but he found him and turned his hand into a grapple and used it to drag Ted near a guillotine, Ted tried to get the grapple off his leg but the psycho sends Ted flying and threw him down on the ground. "Any last words?" said the psycho in a robotic voice. "Yeah!" The psycho looked up and was attacked by Klaus, "this is you handling it? Don't worry, I'll help out." Klaus helped Ted up and together they battled the psycho, though Ted wasn't much help, he managed to provide time for Klaus to stop the psycho from attacking. The psycho fell on his knees, all covered in cuts and having trouble standing up. Klaus walked up to the psycho and was about to kill him, or that's what Ted thought, Klaus walked up to the psycho and forced it to move its body to the floor, telling it to close its eyes. Ted looked confused about why Klaus didn't finish him when he had the chance. "You might be wondering why I didn't kill him when I had the chance... Not my day, let's just say that." Klaus and Ted carried the body near a car and placed the body in the trunk. Ted runs to the gear and takes it to the car, "what's that?" asked Klaus, "It... Just some things I needed to collect for my friend." Klaus looked at Ted with skepticism but replied, "okay." Having said that, he walked off, leaving Ted by himself. "Odd fellow, don't you agree?" Ted asked, "what do you mean?" ACI-D explained, "I have seen him before and I have to conclude that he isn't a people person, always did things that made us question who he is... Well, enough chatter, let's get these to your friends." Ted entered the car and as they drove home, they were unfortunately attacked by a hooded figure, he attempted to steal the gear that Ted had acquired but he returned them and made a run for it. The car didn't seem bothered and continued driving.
"You've got the gear?" they asked as they returned to the small bar where the bartender and Ivana had finished repairing parts of Mayne and Bolt's bodies. Ted handed it to them, and they were taken aback by how he had obtained something so advanced. "It'll take us all day to install these in your friends, so get comfortable and wait, or you can distract yourself while we work."
Ted took a seat at the bar and decided to nap while he waited.
Ted is wakened up by the bartender, "You're friends are fixed but they'll need some time to get used to the upgrades you've provided them... I would suggest that you talk to them for a short duration." Ted stood up and thanked the bartender for his help, "you don't have to thank me (sighs), it's nice to have company for once... This place is about to go into bankruptcy soon." The bartender returned to his post while Ted went to check up on Mayne and Bolt, as he entered the backroom, he saw that Mayne looked good as new while Bolt received some intense upgrades much to Bolt's delight, "I feel like I can throw bombs and have fun while they explode!" Bolt couldn't hide his excitement and was about to light a grenade. "Bolt! Don't even think about it! And besides, you always do that 'throw a grenade and then go in and attack while exploding'... Anyway, it is weird having these upgrades on us but I shouldn't complain... Thanks, kid, I mean it." Ted said that he had to leave and that they needed to rest. "See ya."
