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.

"Where am I... m-my voice!" Ted looked outside and found himself in a district that is abandoned "Is this..." Ted slowly turns his head to the man and asked "Who are you?" the man handed Ted a mirror "Look yourself in the mirror." Ted took the mirror and looked at his reflection "what the..." His face was blurry to him "The real question is... who are you?" Ted handed the mirror back to the man and took a seat "I-I'm Ted." The shiver and skepticism in Ted's voice were affecting who he thought he was "Ted who?" The man didn't show sympathy to Ted "I... I don't know." The man stood up and walked to Ted "Maybe it's should be that time when you find your identity, don't you agree?" Ted responded "Ever since I've risen from the dead... It never occurred to me... I was close to answers but that was when I met..." The man grabbed Ted's hand and cut his hand off, Ted didn't seem to be affected by the loss of his hand, so the man threw it outside the window and sat down on his chair with a stopwatch, it was already active the second he cut Ted's hand off. Twenty-five seconds later, Ted was astonished by what was happening to his hand "What the..." Ted's hand was miraculously growing back but at a very slow rate "Should have known..." Ted didn't understand what the man was talking about "Do you remember anything important when you woke up?" Ted tried to look back but couldn't remember much about his former state but he pointed out that there was a small amount of neon green liquid that was on his hand "then that's why you were able to return, your body regenerated and somehow, the day you died, you were unable to keep a backup heart but that wasn't properly supported well, making it unable to revive but thanks to the liquid, it gave enough fuel to revive you, you get what I'm saying?" Ted understood some of what the man was saying but had a different question "How did I end up dead in the first place?" the man responded "That, is something that you must find alone... It is time to leave..." The man directed Ted to a bathroom and told him to "Enter inside." Ted was skeptical but entered inside, he placed himself in the bathtub and he felt the tub floor like quicksand as he was sinking "Goodbye Ted, and don't stop running." Ted sank faster and faster and found himself waking up in the streets.

Ted looked at his hand and saw that it was still there, he could feel his mind wanting to give in and die. "Nice to see you awake." Klaus appeared behind Ted with two cups of coffee, he handed one to Ted while he drank it, Ted looked at the coffee and then took a sip, and he spat it out, commenting on how it tasted "Like a foot." Klaus laughed and explained, "That's not even coffee, it's a remedy that's supposed to help you ease your pains." Ted took a look inside and saw a vile green and brown appearance "I should get going..." Klaus stopped Ted from leaving "We ain't finished here." Ted didn't want to waste any more seconds with Klaus and handed him the rest of his money "I'm not interested in money... I'm interested in taking that bigot Mogwai to the ground and you're going to help me... come, follow me." Ted followed Klaus to a run-down car "get inside." Ted didn't have the energy to ask 20 questions so he entered the car "You might need this." Klaus handed Ted an EpiPen and signalled him to use it, Ted used it and he could feel his mind telling him to sleep "sweet dreams."

"Kill the bastard!" "What did I do?" "You know what you did Mogwai! Nobody fucks with me!" "I'm the wrong person, you got to believe me!" "Stop the bullshit! Look at yourself in the mirror faggot, don't tell me that isn't you." "What?" "Take him out." "NO!"

Ted woke up as if he was in a nightmare, he noticed that Klaus was waiting for Ted to exit the car "Take your time... it's not like I'm not immortal." Ted exit the car and found themselves near the docks. "What are we doing here?" Klaus handed Ted a pistol "We're here to fight." Klaus activated his hook hands "I'm not going to fight you!" Klaus didn't care and said, "You've got no choice... face me!" Klaus began the charge and attempted to attack Ted, he dodged all of Klaus' attacks which impressed him "You're improving but that's not enough... do it faster!" Klaus didn't show mercy toward Ted.
