Vigilant Myst (Archived)

Cyberpunk-Based This is a story about a mercenary who has no understanding of how he ended up in the dumpsters, with a little help and guidance by his mercenary friends, Mayne and Bolt. This mercenary has no purpose neither no mission relating to understanding his past. All that matters is that he makes a name for himself in the futuristic city of Nomalan. Throughout his life, he makes allies, makes enemies and pisses off the higher ups with what he does. Actions that oddly sound familiar to a former vigilante. This story takes place in the UNDERDOGS universe.

Bolt and Hound looked at Ted when another purposely rammed into Bolt's car, "motherfucker!" Bolt shouted as he pulled the middle finger on them, the car turned around and rammed into Bolt's car behind. Ted got a glimpse of them and saw that they dressed like the agents from two days ago, Bolt's car was starting to slow down and that was when Bolt was forced to park close by, the opposing car stopped as well and two agents exit the car, they walked up to where Ted was and opened his door, they grabbed Ted and tried to take him to their car but Bllt shot them both, barely doing any damage to their skulls, Ted, Bolt and Hound made a run for it with the agents behind their back. They ran and ran but they were unable to lose them, seconds later Stream appeared and covered the atmosphere around them in smoke, Ted, Bolt and Hound were gone after the smoke cleared. One of the agents was speaking to someone on the mic in Chinese, "the target has escaped."

Ted woke up to find Bolt on top of him, "not that I want to interrupt queer time but we should get moving." Stream guided the three to an end of a tunnel that revealed itself to be Mechsmith's home. "Ted! It's good to be seeing you again and if I'm not mistaken, you have what I need..." Ted took out a crafting spec that was similar to the one that Mechsmith needed. "Excellent, here... Your pay, I have to say, you did a mighty well job... Unlike someone." she looked at Stream with disappointing eyes.

"I have a few questions to ask, first, who were those guys? Second, why were they after us? And three, what is this place?" shouted Bolt in an incredible dialogue that lasted one breath. "First, they're working for Ceptcon's, second, they weren't after you but Ted and finally, this is my relaxation chamber and you are lucky to even be here, only the worthy deserve to be here... Or the desperate, either one."
