News of the mystery box's contents spreads quickly. The shopkeeper, furious over his mistake, tracks Bolt down to his small, cluttered workshop. The once-amiable robot reveals a hidden combat mode and demands the body's return. When Bolt refuses, the confrontation turns violent.
The humanoid body proves its worth in the ensuing battle. From Bolt's arm emerges a massive hammer, a weapon designed for destructive power. The shopkeeper counters with laser weaponry and electromagnetic shields, but Bolt's newfound reflexes and strength turn the tide. In a decisive blow, he destroys the shopkeeper's body.
This victory comes at a cost. The shopkeeper was a member of TradeCore Corporation, a powerful entity that views Bolt's actions as a direct attack. As Bolt processes the gravity of his situation, Omega Core provides a calm warning: "Probability of being hunted by TradeCore agents: 98%. Immediate enhancements to defense systems are recommended."
