End of innocence

As you look at the two men in front of you can't help but feel bad for what your about to do to them. After all while npc's your still about to kill people with family's. After saying sorry in your mind you make the first move and swing at the level 3.

He subsequently pulls out a mid size iron knife from behind him and deflects the blow at the cost of losing the top half of his blade. Once your knife has been sent off course he punches your organic nose and kicks in your knee. Thankfully it was the metal knee.

[-5 health: 125 remaining]

Once he backs up to shake off the pain of kicking with all his might your metal appendage you quickly kick him in the chest with all your might.

[3 damage* 5 cyborg trait* 15 Strength= 225 damage Enemy heavily wounded]

Right when you were about to shove your knife in his throat as he was down the newly crippled guy came behind you and grabbed your neck and Twisted with all his might.

[4 Damage* 12 strength* ⅓ Crippled= 16 Damage: -16 HP:109 remaining. light crick in the neck.]

After the honest to god failure the man had with his crippled self you Quickly turn around and slit his neck.

[10 Damage* 5 cyborg trait* 5 Critical hit= 250 damage Enemy killed]

You turn back around to the only person left that was in your way. Once you look at him you can see him get up in extreme pain as he holds his almost caved in chest. You watch as once he gets you he takes a few quick and shallow breaths signs that his lung has been punctured.

"Well then it seems that you won."

You can see the grimace on his face as he says that.

"I did say i only wanted something to get some food."

You laugh at that and you can see him bringing something from behind him.

"It's a good thing I have insurance."

As he says that he first brings a knife from behind his back and then throws it at you. Of course you dodge the knife only to see behind you anton standing there with wide eyes at not only what you just did but the knife coming his way. All you can do is change your movement from the left to the right to try to save him.

But it isn't enough as right as you start to move your hand forward the knife buries itself in his arm.

[-50 companion health. Companion in critical condition]

Then the unexpected happens anton simply pulls the knife from his arm and throws it towards the man. Who was not only shocked that the kid was still standing but also throwing his knife towards him. Not to mention the fact that he was extremely injured he could do nothing as he felt the knife enter his heart killing him.

On antons part he was equally shocked that he had just killed a man.

"Sir can you tell me your name?"

Weird request at a moment like this.

"My name is Hadrian."

"Mr.Hadrian can you tell me if what I just did right now was what I was supposed to?"

Your starting to worry about the kid after all his words are only becoming more and more monotone and just… dead.
