Mandeep opens his eyes covered in blood trying to stay alive. Unable to get up. The blood from his wound won't stop.

Mandeep: [I can't die here not yet. For my people I must stay alive]

Mandeep: [But I think it's all over now]

Mandeep is fading in and out fighting to survive.

Midi: Mandeep I will fix you just stay awake.

Midi: Just stay awake.

Mandeep: [Can't stay awake now]

Mandeep: Okay... I try to walk.

Mandeep tries to stand up. Fails many times but manages to walk as Midi tries to repair him. His organs are not necessary for him to live but the bullet from revolver disabled his resignation for some time. The base is also about to escape.

As he manages to exit the base his mech is gone. The base is about to explode. He jumps from the base in the backward direction and fires his hand laser to get gain speed. As he reaches the relay gate the base explodes with a shock wave.

Midway midi fixes his major injuries. As he exits the gate military patrol is waiting for him. As soon as they see him they start shooting. They destroy the relay gate. Mandeep lands on a ship grab the pipe and then start to use his eye laser to take out the enemy ship.

He then destroys the ship he is standing on and power up his laser. He fires both the laser which gives him more speed. Midi calculates his path to the Nv-165.

As Mandeep reaches the orbit of the planet on which Fuji lives he falls headfirst. But now most of his healing is back, so he recovers in a few seconds.

Mandeep: That bastard almost killed me.

Midi: Almost?

Mandeep: Yeah almost.

Mandeep: Well now that I am here let's go meet Fuji.

Midi: Is he your friend?

Mandeep: No, more of a family.

Midi: But you are not a human?

Mandeep: Yes, but he helped me through my most tough times. I consider him my family no matter what I say to him. He is a good person. I did keep him together his wife and daughter died.

Midi goes silent.

Mandeep: Don't worry it was years ago, and I was there for him.

As Mandeep reaches Fuji's home he sees a person sitting near his house's gate. The person is doing something on the ground. On close inspection Mandeep sees him erasing bloody footprint.

Mandeep: [That is a cleaner. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? ]

As soon as Mandeep sees his intention he takes out his nano blade and throws it at the cleaner for a silent kill. The cleaner gets hit right in his brain.

Mandeep walks up to the door and sees the door is broken and two people are fixing it.

Mandeep: [This can't be good]

Mandeep walks up to them and grabs both of them by their neck.

Mandeep: WHO THE FUCK SEND YOU?

Cleaner 1: M- Morgan.

Mandeep power up his hand both of the cleaner head explode. The blood splatter all over the floor. Mandeep opens the door and sees a haunting event.

Mandeep: [NO NO NO NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING NO PLEASE NOT HIM NO]

He walks up to fuji lying on the floor with blood all around him. He got stabbed with a weapon. His whole chest is covered with a huge mark caused by a sharp object.

Mandeep falls on his knees and still in denial tries to wake fuji. But he is dead after trying almost 152 times. He is unable to control himself.

Midi: [Mandeep I found nanobots on this body]

Mandeep still stays silent.

Midi: [Its, not yours or Carle's so there must be a new prototype]

Midi: [We must find Mo-]

Mandeep stands up from the ground pick up Fuji's body to give him a proper funeral. There is only Mandeep there. He pays his respect. He places his hand on the ground.

Mandeep: [Fuji's whoever did this will die. I promise you. No matter who it is]

After the funeral, Mandeep goes on a killing spree killing all the cleaner who was involved the ones who give him information died too. No one was spared. He killed 12 government officials who were directly responsible for Fuji's death.

There were only two names on his list Morgan and the new prototype.

Mandeep: Midi where is morgan?

Midi: [ His tracker disabled 2 weeks ago and still hasn't activated. Let's try his apartment ]

Mandeep: Does he live with someone?

Midi: [Yes, He lives with his wife Maria Ashton]

Mandeep: This name seems familiar.

Mandeep walks to the apartment building.

Mandeep: Which floor and apartment number?

Midi: Floor 16 Number 6.

Mandeep: ok let's go then.

While in the elevator

Mandeep: [Midi show Maria Ashton's image]

Mandeep: Okay that why she is familiar. That's the woman I saved from the accident. Wait I can take advantage of this.

Mandeep removes his prosthetic jaw and a new jaw grows in its place.

Mandeep: Check. Check All good.

Mandeep reaches the floor and rings the bell to the apartment.

As the door opens he thinks about what to say.

Mandeep: Hey its-

Maria: Mandeep?

Mandeep: It's you come in what are you waiting for?

Maria: It's been almost 11 years from when you saved me.

Mandeep: You remember that?

Maria: How could I forget the person who saved my life?

Mandeep: Thank you for that. I thought you must have forgotten about me. Actually I was here to talk with your husband is he here?

Maria: Morgan? He wants to buy a suitcase. He will be back soon.

Mandeep: If you don't mind can I wait for him?

Maria: Of course until you wait I make some tea for you.

Mandeep: No need for that.

Maria: Don't be shy I know how much you like tea.

As Mandeep enjoy how good moment of his life. The door slowly opens and Morgan walks in.

Morgan: Honey, I am ho- *He sees Mandeep* me.

As he walks near to his wife. Mandeep takes out a knife place it on his wife's throat and

Mandeep: This is for Fuji.

Slits the women's throat as blood spray from her throat. Mandeep takes out his blades and slice Morgan and then when Morgan blinks Nothing he just saw happen. It was all just an illusion created by his scared mind.

Mandeep is still cracking jokes and talking to Maria.

Mandeep: Yo Morgan long time no see.

Morgan: Yeah long time no see.

Morgan sits in the chair in front of you.

Mandeep places his hand on the hand of Morgan's wife. When Morgan sees this you can tell by looking at his yes how angry he is.

Marie: He's like my little brother.*she says while caressing Mandeep's head.

Mandeep: Yeah Morgan she is my big sister.

Morgan: [YOU BA-]

Morgan: Marie can you bring is coffee for me.

Mandeep: How about some tea it is good for your health too?

Maria: Yeah he is right. I go to bring some tea.

As she leaves Morgan takes out his gun and aims it on Mandeep's head.

Morgan: NOW TELL ME-

Mandeep: Shh.

Mandeep says while pointing to the kitchen.

Morgan: why the fuck you are in my house talking to my wife?

Mandeep: I told you she is my big sister.

Morgan: You two are not even related.

Mandeep: She considers me her brother and I consider her my sister no need for blood relation.

Morgan: Now the real reason why are you here?

Mandeep: You know why?

Morgan: The new prototype?

Mandeep nods.

Morgan takes out a data drive and gives it to Mandeep. Nanobots come out of his arm and eat the data pad.

Morgan: WHAT?

Mandeep: shh

Morgan: what are you doing?

Mandeep: I have the data copied.

Morgan: Now you got what you want now stop pretending and get out of here.

Mandeep: Hey that was no pretending. I do love her as my sister.

Maria comes back you three talk after talking for sometime Morgan relax and crack some joke you talk some more and then it's time to leave.

Mandeep: Thank you both of you. I will be back to meet you again.

Maria: Actually we are leaving this system.

Mandeep: Why?

Maria: He got transferred and he needs this job.

Mandeep: I have an idea but will you trust me?

Maria: Why not?

Mandeep gives them a circular object.

Maria: What is this?

Mandeep: It's a teleporter to UTOPIA 1771 universe. It's a beautiful place just use this and you will reach there in a second in front of you will see a hotel just say my name there you will get everything and here 50 billion credits.

Maria: Buts that a lot of money. We can't take this.

Mandeep: Take this as a parting gift from your little brother.

Maria starts to cry but Mandeep gives her a hug to comfort her. After that, they use the object and after a few minutes, you receive a call from Morgan that they have reached there safely.

Mandeep: I never enjoyed my life so much. Wish Fuji was here.

Midi: Don't worry Mandeep.

Mandeep: Yeah, Now they are both safe and sound. We are done here so let's go.
