V.34.1 A Certain Lalafell pt.3

Pipin was so excited when he heard the announcement regarding their arrival in Liberty.

But the paradise he was expecting was nowhere to be found, the moment he arrived in the outer layer of Liberty what he saw was a burning building, people shouting in the street, and people being carried by stretchers.

Confusion immediately sets in, he doesn't know what to do.

Walking around, he can smell the burning rock, and melted steel. His mind went blank and his face was pale.

He was very scared, no he was terrified.. but unfortunately, there's no going back for him, his remaining money is not enough for a trip home.

In order to get back home he first needs to make money, but looking around all he saw is chaos.

People running on the street, shouting and screaming looking around he wanted to find a place to bury himself and hide there.

Body shaking he continues to roam around with no set destination on his mind.

And then suddenly, someone grabbed him and started carrying him toward the alleyways.

Shaking and terrified, he tried to fight back but with his meager strength and small size to the one who grabbed him, it's like a massage.

And now he started regretting his stupid decision to come here, he tried to scream but the person immediately covered his mouth.

He can see that in just a few seconds they would reach a dark alleyway.

With tears and snot, he tried to bite the hands that were covering his mouth.

"Motherf@#ker" the man cursed but didn't remove his hand.

Blood immediately entered Pippin's mouth making him gag, as a sheltered guy he never once experienced something like this.

As soon as they reach the alleyways the man throws Pipin against the wall, luckily there are trash cans and boxes that somehow disperse the impact, but even so, Pipin can hear a part of his bone being broken. Pain immediately hit him, he screamed but the man kicks him in the guts to make him stop.

"Why" with tears Pipin barely uttered the word.

"Give me all your money, said the man who keeps looking right and left. And when Pipin didn't answer because of so much pain, the man pulled out a rusty old knife.

And when Pipin saw the rusty knife, he was petrified he almost forgot the pain he was having, and just sat there his body stopped listening to him, he wanted to run and scream for help and yet his body remains unmoving.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..." He began saying in his mind.

Back in the GT shop in outer Liberty, three young girls and a dog are being surrounded by several other serious-looking individuals, they are looking confused about the sudden development. One moment they were shopping happily, the next moment buildings started burning and people began screaming and shouting.

But despite that, there was no fear in their eyes. In fact, they look curious and excited about the sudden development.

"Eh, what?" Suddenly one of the girls shouted, she looked shocked at what she saw.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Asked the other girl curious at what she saw.

The young girl pointed outside. "Look the child is being kidnapped"

"What! Where?" They all look at where the young girl is pointing and sure enough despite the Chaotic situations they saw a man carrying a child, and with their enhanced physics they can clearly see the tears on the child's eyes and his mouth is being covered.

"Sister we have to help him." Said the youngest.

"Stay here, I'll go," said the eldest of the three girls.

"No, I wanna go too," said the youngest.

While the second eldest can only shake her head.

Knowing that time is of the essence, the eldest of the three nodded, she then gestures to the people surrounding them. And they nodded in understanding.

The three girls and a dog immediately rush outside while being surrounded by bodyguards.

The people on the street saw it and immediately gave way.

One look and they can tell those guys are not something they can mess with, not to mention those scary-looking bodyguards surrounding the three beautiful girls there are a dozen GT security drones following behind them.

Only an idiot would mess with a group like that, in fact, even the greatest of idiots would know not to mess with a group like that.

Many people are looking at the group, trying to figure out who they are. But unfortunately, no matter how much they try they couldn't identify the identity of the three girls.

One reason for that is that camouflage was applied so no one can identify them. Digital holographic camouflage is very easy to make using GT current technology.

Every Shadow Unit is using this technology as it can help them gather information and complete their mission without being identified.

The three girls hastily follow where the man who kidnapped the child went.

As soon as they reached the alleyways they saw the very man pulling out a rusty knife.

They also saw the child slumped on the corner petrified, and it seems one of his arms is broken.

Anger immediately rose from the sisters when they saw it.

Pipin saw the man pull out the rusted knife, and started brandishing it in front of him.

Pipin failed to notice the arrival of the group. In fact, even the man failed to notice the group arrival.

And when the man saw Pippin remains unmoved he became angry and wanted to teach him a lesson by cutting him a little. He walks toward Pipin crouch down and puts his face close to Pipin, who look extremely terrified and shaking, "do you really want to die?"

Pipin can smell the putrid breath of the man, mix with alcohol and chemicals, clearly the man is on drugs. Pipin watched as the man attempted to stab or cut him. He braced himself for the pain. But suddenly he saw a flash and the man was instantly thrown across the alley like a ragdoll where he remains. the man immediately passes out.

He felt like everything he has experienced is some kind of twisted nightmare.

Looking at the opposite side of where the man was thrown he saw a group of girls being surrounded by a group of scary bodyguards.

"Big sister Tiffa is so strong," said the youngest of the three girls clapping her hands and cheering.

Pipin couldn't figure out where he heard of the name, it was just that it was very familiar to him. If he was thinking normally with his memory he can easily figure it out, but because of the sudden traumatic experience, he couldn't think right.

Suddenly the face of a young and beautiful girl pops in front of him. "Little boy are you ok?" Asked the girl with a soft and concerned voice.

"Little boy?" If this is a normal occasion he would have answered "who are you calling a little boy" despite his appearance he was actually a young man, not a little boy.

But because of the suddenness of everything that's happening he can only respond by nodding.

One of the drones immediately broke formation and went to the pass out man. Where it would wait for the retrieval droids to arrive that will take the man and bring him to the holding center to be processed.

"Let's not linger here, let us go back to HQ."

Originally Tiffa had been convincing the two sisters to return to HQ when the chaos started. But they refused and wanted to watch the chaos like a very curious child.

But now seeing the hurt Pipin they nodded without any resistance.

One of the bodyguards easily but carefully picked up Pipin like a princess. He was then carried into the vehicles that were waiting for them.

And in the vehicles, the girls began introducing themselves which gives Pipin another dose of surprise.
