If it's not the easy way, it will be the hard way

So ... My routine changed a little ... I wake up, I take my antibiotics, Machine prepares breakfast, we eat ... And then, we do something to distract ourselves. Actually... They even behaved together with Saiki ... Especially Machine, who has a more positive attitude towards her, than the others. Also, I got a message from Sif ... She got more information about more criminal groups from Detroit ... And, my next target is the E.F.

Saiki's power is similar to that of Tectonic ... However with an extension. Tectonic can displace the layers of soil and walls, creating small earthquakes; in the worst case, it can cause an earthquake large enough to destroy an entire city ... But its power needs to be channeled, in its Quake-Core on its coast, this nucleus resembles crystals. Saiki has the ability to "break" things, distorting the pressure and being able to decrease the integrity of anything, her power is channeled into her left eye, where that strange liquid flows.

I went out, together with Saiki ... We went to have ice cream, in the same place, and talk a little more. The same vanilla flavor, and for her a strawberry flavor (it seems to be the brat's favorite);

[Saiki]- "Degen...?"

[Me]- "What, brat?"

[Saiki]- "They said you are a Villain Hunter... But they say you are a villain too... I don't get it."

[Me]- "They call me a villain because I have the courage to get my hands dirty, to clean Detroit. A villain hunter aims to eliminate target villains."

[Saiki]- "So... Do you arrest bad guys?"

[Me]- "...! Well, I only eliminate bad guys that hurt people... Only the worst type of villains, so don't hurry brat."

[Saiki]- "Alright! You hit bad guys, and protect people like me! You are a hero to me!"

Hero ... No one would ever say that to me, it's weird, but at the same time it's good to hear that. Anyway, the government he always wanted to limit me to clear my name ... They even put me in a squad to hunt super dangerous villains for the country or something ... If they knew that I was taking care of a child, how they would react?

Then, we were walking back... And I stopped to buy mechanical parts to Machine, when I looked back, some guys with masks had picked up Saiki and put them on a truck. I soon started running after them, obviously I went ahead using the asphalt and trying to stop the truck ... They had drones and other boring things to slow me down.

It was raining, so the drones were slower, I ran as fast as I could, but I lost sight of them ... Right after she told me that you trusted me to protect her? This failure of mine was worse than letting villains run away ... I never felt so frustrated! I was so, so furious.

When I came back, Mad Machine came to welcome me, he saw that I was alone;

[Mad Machine]- "What happened to the child?"

[Me]- "The E.F. took her... Prepare your robots ... Tryx and Surtur, we're leaving."

[Surtur]- "Wha? Where?"

[Me]- "it is not obvious? We will crush E.F. tonight."

I already planned to attack them from the beginning ... but they hastened their own extinction.
