Adam's eyes began to flash green. He analyzed the entire room and didn't find any sign of Ricardo. Suddenly Adam started to ear the laughs of a sadistic person. "You really think you could defeat a Resistance leader that easily?" Adam heard footsteps approaching behind and him and quickly turned around circling green and black energy around his hands. When Adam looked at his around, he saw that it was only a small animal. When Adam was about to take his leave from the ruined temple, droplets of what seemed to be like clay began to drip from the ceiling of the dilapidated temple onto his clothes. Adam looked at the ceiling and saw a huge amount of muck getting ready to drop down. Adam jumped back feet away. The amount of muck dropped down from the ceiling morphing into a ten-foot-tall humanoid creature with a Resistance cloak on. It was the same merchant from the first section of The City of Ruins. Adam analyzed the man and realized that he was fooled. Ricardo was never in The City Of Ruins. The merchant whose name was Hafiz had the power to morph into any person he looked at. He is body was mostly a synthetic sticky substance. The sticky substance was a cream color that resembles acid. Adam fired two green and black beams from his hand at Hafiz. When the two green and black beams reacted with his body they were sucked in the outing as if they were cheap matches. Hafiz began laughing. Adam sprinted towards Hafiz sharping his fingernails slicing off his head. The synthetic substance covered his real body which was nothing but a skeleton. Hafiz"s skin and flesh were stolen from him many years ago before he joined the Resistance.
Hafiz"s head reconnected back to his body. Hafiz grinned picking Hafiz up the neck punching him five times in the stomach making him cough up green material. Hafiz threw Adam into the walls of the ruined temple causing the wall to crumble. The entire ruined temple started to rubble. A giant piece of the ceiling almost collapsed on Adam's body, but he was lucky enough to dodge it. The ground above their feet eradicated when this happened. Adam and Hafiz landed into a pool of disgusting water with skeletons at the bottom. Adam jumped out of the water forming a green and black disc in his hand throwing it at Hafiz slicing him in half. Hafiz"s body quickly connected back as if he was chewed up gum. Hafiz extended both of his arms turning his arms into tentacles. "You better what you do." "This place is loaded with explosives powerful enough to wipe out a country." "The both of us will die if you do any of your powerful attacks"." My body is powerful enough to withstand anything." Adam's arm dropped on the ground revealing a plasma cannon with smoke emitting out of it. Hafiz tried to wrap his tentacles around Adam's body, but Adam was too quick. He ran do fast that he could run on water. He fired two plasma bolts from the plasma cannon which were sucked inside of Hafiz's body. "Everything you do will fail." "I am already the victorious one." Adam continued to fire plasma cannon blasts at Hafiz"s body. Hafiz walked towards Adam punching a hole through his chest. The disgusting black water now had little chunks of blood in it. Hafiz pulled out Adam's core. Adam tumbled back it to the wall grunting in pain. "Is this the best The Council Of Fate Empire could come up with?!" Hafiz tossed Adam's core to the side which dark to the bottom of the disgusting pool loaded with skeletons and explosives. Adam's vision began to disperse. He started to remember events when he was just made.
Before Adam was made he was AI. An AI named Acute Dark. Cornelius Advent made Acute Dark a body that is part machine and a human. So even if his body was destroyed he would be a wandering AI. A new body could be easily made for him. Adam's analysis mode began to fail him. He pulled the analysis chip out of his head splattering blood all over the place. Sparks to flash in the water. Adam got on his feet clenching his hand into a fist. "How the fuck are you still alive?" "I removed your core from your chest." "You are supposed to be dead!" "That shows how much you know about machines." Adam picked his hand that floated above the disgusting water placing back on his handling a loud clicking sound echo throughout the ruined temple. Hafiz turned both of his arms into two sharp blades running towards Adam like a wild animal. Adam evaded Hafiz shoving his hand into his chest. He could feel his bones. Hafiz sliced off Adam's arm spraying blood and green material all over the place. "It looks like my calculations were a hundred percent correct." "Your body is nothing but a corpse inside of a shell." Hafiz was now angry. He fired one of his arm blades off like missiles towards Adam who caught it with his left arm that didn't severe. He twirled it around like a spear with a look of confidence in his lifeless, heartless, eyes. He threw the arm blade into Hafiz"s chest pinning him into the wall. Hafiz's body began to twitch. Adam could see that Hafiz"s end was near. Hafiz"s skin started to melt off his body revealing his true body. He was an old man inside of an exoskeleton synthetic armor with a spear in his chest which went right through his heart. Even though his skin was removed from his body his major organs still remained. Hafiz vomited up blood in pain. Adam walked up to Hafiz who was shamed to have been defeated. "How could I allow myself to be defeated by a worthless machine like you?" "I ripped out your core." "You were supposed to die." "Unlike the other cyborgs and machines, my master Cornelius Advent created, I have four cores." "Well, three since you removed one from my chest." All the other machines are made with a metal called Night stone. "I am made with Forex Titanium Alloy." "Forex Titanium Alloy is harder and rarer than Night stone." "Somehow my master got a whole of it." "You are one cocky bastard. said Hafiz."And another thing." "I know that you work for The Council Of Fate Empire secretly." "Two more members of the Council Of Fate will be here shortly." Hafiz was caught in the act because of he said that Cornelius Advent worked for The Council Of Fate Empire. That was how he fucked up. The real Resistance official in charge of The City Of Ruins was Adam. A.K.A. Acute Dark.
