3. THE SEALED GAMES

Sealed Games Arc

Rex: Not enough Cred to rub together. *tsk* Shit- might have ta' do supply jobs. Fucking hell man.

-Warehouse 36b, Post War Alley-

Eva: I'm sure this'll be a good base of operations until we reach our next goal.

Her smile brightened Exo's day, even in times of aggravation, as well as being under stress. He could always cheer up in her presence.

Exo: Tell me, Eva- what made you wanna fight against the Techno? I'm sure you have a reason right?

Eva: My father... he... I was seven when my father was taken. He had been a mechanical engineer as well as an expert scientist at the fylo tech base (3rd biggest base in the world). It was a Monday, I remember that much... he said goodbye as he squeezed me in his arms. I never saw him after that, I was told he was killed during a malfunction. But, I don't believe that... He knew what he was doing. He was too smart to die that way- I know my father. They asked him to do something out of his morales, and when he turned them down... *tears ran down Eva's face*.

Exo gave her a hug, without hesitation he squeezed tight and said "I'll always hug you, and I'll make sure those damn monsters pay for what they did".

Eva was grateful to hear those words, as she sunk her face into his chest-

Eva: Hold me, a little longer...Exo.

In an instant the warehouse doors barged open, Rex had suffered from serious wounds-

Rex: Show time *guh* - Gotta show these bastards what we've got in store.

Exo: What happened-...?

In that time frame, two men walked through the door- it was Redd and Skin...

Skin: Don't tell me this is the one Redd?

Redd: Oh, it is. I CAN SMELL HIS AURA.

Rex: STAY THE FUCK BACK, OR YOU'LL PAY.

Exo: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO ATTACK MY FRIEND?

Redd: I'll shut the boy up, just worry about killing the big one.

In an instant Redd cupped Exo's face, covering his mouth- he lifted him in an instant movement. The motion of his hand alone had sent Exo to the ground. The rock-hard floor had made a hole.

Exo: GUHHHH-

Rex: EXOOOOO-

In that moment, a hurling Red haired force, Skin had began his Assault.

Rex: YOU THINK YOU CAN COME IN HERE AND JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT? YOU'LL LEARN A THING OR TWO-

Eva: What is that...I sense something... I remember this feeling... it's like...when dad...

Redd: SG, Activate-

Skin: Now the real challenge begins. Enjoy you're little box boys. The Sealed Games awaits...

The artifact began to disperse light, as it pulled the 3 closer to it. Redd and Skin walking away-

Redd: You better be stronger when I see you next.

Skin: I forgot to kill the tall guy, puh- it's fine. It'll be all the more fun once they activate their cores.

The artifact swallowed them whole, falling to the ground. The light dimmed-
