Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The End (part 2)

"Marco Phenex said he would be waiting for you in hell Adam"

(This little shit has the balls to taunt me. I went into acceleration again and I tried to shoot at him and make him move to my right side since I was down my left arm but he dodged everything and kept pushing me. I had to retreat instead because of that sword. But it was useless, his speed was even greater than mine.)

It has been 2 minutes and 40 seconds and My body is screaming at me to stop, My armor is hot and I feel like I'm about to fall on my knees I have two more good accelerations before I faint. I need to reduce the percentage, but if I do he will kill me. The only reason I'm still alive is because he has only landed that first punch and he was not even serious in the beginning. Now he is serious and even without an arm, he can still kill me with a single punch. 

And just when I thought that I might have to run I saw the runner I came to kill in the first place in a corner unconscious, and thought of an idea just as Beca and Lucy gave me the signal too. I smiled and thought ( I won)

(The little shit did not move to take the bait. And now is just standing there looking to my left? It clicked and then I noticed what he was looking at.)

("fuck!. If I let you! you fucker" )

(I moved to intercept him and saw how he changed his course to slash me with the sword instead. (rookie mistake) I was about to shoot the ground with one of my rockets in my arm but just as I was about to do shot, he moved again and took out a C4 charge.)

(This little shit wants to blow both of us and the runner. Deep in my soulless body, I respected that. Going out by killing yourself your target and your enemy is the mark of a PRO.)

(But I am beyond a PRO boy I am a LEGEND in this City and I will not go down by a simple C4, but the meat bag behind me will probably die. )

(I moved to cover the meat bag with my body and waited... )

(Nothing happened after 10 seconds I looked up and saw no one... only a window open "HAHAHA that coward ran away" just as I was about to call for the rest of my team to pick up the runner.)

(There was a sound of an explosion and then I lost my footing. Next thing I know I'm falling while the whole building is collapsing on itself.)

(The last thing I thought before my system went offline was "Ghost huh... I will be waiting for you in hell too") 

I soon as I jumped off the fifth floor I activated acceleration to run on the side of the building and kept moving out of the range of the explosion. 

Not 5 seconds Later when I was about 10 meters away from the building. I felt like my body was hit by the force of a car and hit the walls of a building not far away from the explosion. After I managed to get up and went to Our meeting spot. I activated my acceleration one final time and ran back to the car. I arrived by Becas and Falco's side came out of acceleration and crashed into the ground by their feet.

"DAVID .... OK"

I don't know what happened after Just bits and pieces of me coming in and going out of consciousness 

"...CA ...TAKE.... RIPPER"

The next time I regained consciousness I was in a car 

"DA... STAY ...."

"HOW ..... HE .....NOW"

I think that was Lucy. 

Once I awoke again I was in Vik's clinic 

"Don't worry he only had some broken ribs. the real problem was the stress he put on his brain. the amount of time he was using the acceleration to the max was too much for his Brain"

 "I gave him some strong medication that should stabilize him but he will be out for at least a week"

I lost consciousness again after.

1 Week later 

The next time I awoke I was in my bed in Lucy's and my penthouse, I was still feeling sore but I was able to shower and change clothes after 30 minutes. and just as I was about to make myself some food, The door opened and Lucy walked in, she dropped the bag she was carrying and came to hug me.

"What happened after I passed out?"

Lucy looked back at me and started telling me everything I missed.

Flashback 

"PLAN C NOW!" I heard through the signal on Comms. David told us in case "shit went down" to leave the area and run while he would catch up to us later. we all moved and I checked the detonator and waited 15 seconds like we had agreed. After Kiwi confirmed that David was out of the Building I pressed the button. 

In the distance the building where there was a gunfight between Arasaka and the animals, the explosion on the building behind made everyone stop fighting. once they saw the building coming down everyone started running. Both Kiwi and I decided to leave the highrise we were on and go to the meeting point.

Once we arrived I noticed Falco and Beca already in the car, it was not until I arrived that I noticed David in the Backseat. Lying unconscious while Beca was trying to inject him with a stabilizer, he did not have his helmet and his eyes and nose were bleeding.

After we rushed him to Vik's clinic, he spent 3 hours stabilizing David since the amount of stress he put on his brain was too much to handle. Vik just told us that the way it works was. the brain sends the signals to the spine and then the rest of the body reacts, but since David's Sandevistan is more powerful the time the information gets sent from the Brain to the spine and then to the rest of the body, and finally back to the Brain is so fast the Brain can't keep up with the body reacting speed 

The good thing was that it was not fatal unless he had more Chrome, so all he needed was to be injected with nutrients into his body and rest for at least a week. after that, we left Vik's clinic and I stayed to take care of David.

After a few days, a lot of rumors started going around.

Present 

"Well that is good and what are the rumors?"

"How about you look at them yourself," she said after handing me a report that was sent by Kiwi a few days ago.

Hey Lucy, I got some info on our little excursion from the other day from some of our more talkative customers. 

then at the bottom, there were a few files of audio from some of the boots that have hidden recording devices, since Faraday had most of the normal boots wired with recording devices to spy and get information from people. 

first recording 

"Have you heard about the big fight the Animals had with Arasaka in Pacifica"

"Nah Choom I was out of the city doing a job. Why? what happened?"

"Well from what one of the surviving Members of the animals said, It was a massacre, and also the rumors said Smasher was there and he fought Ghost and lost"

"Wait you mean Adam Smasher the ADAM SMASHER!"

"Yeah, I know right, there is even a video from one of the VooDoo boys showing Arasaka digging through the destroyed building and Taking what looks like a pile of pieces of Smasher back to Arasaka"

"Nah man that's probably a lie"

after listening to a few conversations with other people I put the pat down and Looked back at Lucy. She was making us some Tea since I had taken a liking for it the last few months.

"So now what are we gonna? the Fixer you work with is going to start calling and asking for information about what happened Rogue was the first to try and contact you but I just sent her a message that you were out for weeks from a job you did"

"I'll contact all my Fixers letting them know that I'm retiring after a big fight with a Cyborg I had. Also, I will be out of the city for 2 Months".

2 weeks Later I was boarding the spaceship that would take us to the moon after leaving the Club to Kiwi and Falco since they did not want to come along on our moon trip. I sat down in my private room while Lucy and Beca were picking our food from the Menu for the trip. 

"Life is good," I said as I looked out the window as the ship started to fly to the sky.

In another Part of the city in Heywood, a man steps inside a bar and asks for a drink. but just as he is about to take a sip another man from the corner of the room calls him 

"Hey I know that ugly face anywhere," the man said after moving closer 

" V is that you Choom?"

the man now named V answers" The one and only, back from Atlanta.
