Chapter 2 : THE HACKER
Zoar made it to Ameur April 9th. Only a day after he set out on his quest. The small city smelled of gas and was filled with grime.
The streets each had atleast one homeless guy. One of them were holding up a sign and screaming.
"THIS YEAR IS DOOMED! 3492 IS THE YEAR OF DEATH AND CARNAGE!" said the old homeless guy, causing the biggest ruckus in the city.
As to no surprise, there were no police in sight.
Zoar sighed as he walked past countless lunatics, trying to find one stable person he could talk to. He needed to get information on the hacker.
Zoar continued walking through the streets of Ameur, not seeing one normal person.
Zoar was just about to turn around and start knocking on doors until he saw something in an alleyway.
"Hey, let go of me you perverted bastard!"
A girl that looked to be about 17 or 18 yelled as a bald creep grabbed her shoulder.
"C'mon babe, I'll show you what fun is!" the creep said has he forced her closer causing the bag she was holding to fall, leading cups of hot noodles to roll down the alley.
Zoar walked down the alley toward the man.
The girl saw him and said "You! Please get this ugly bastard off of me!"
Zoar looked at her then looked at the man.
Zoar then pulled out his sword from his back.
The bald pervert looked at him and screamed "HEY MAN DONT HURT ME, PLEASE! I WAS JUST TRYNA, UH GET A-" He was interrupted by the slash of Zoar's sword barely missing him.
"This is the part where you're supposed to run away." Zoar said as he put his sword back in its holster on his back.
The bald pervert quickly dashed out of the alley.
Zoar turned to the girl.
She had light brown skin, yellow eyes, velvet brown hair, and was around 105 centimeters tall. She was wearing a tight black hoodie with green draw strings, short black shorts, and Black short-boots.
"Thank you! I've noticed that guy's been checking me out at the store for a few weeks now. He randomly came up to me yesterday and asked how old I was. Without thinking I told him I was 18 and now we're here." she said as she put her noodle cups back into her bag.
"Oh where are my manners!" she quickly shot a look at Zoar.
"My name is Ami Solitaria!" she said holding out a hand.
Zoar shakes her hand and says "My name is Zoar. Zoar Malite."
She smiles and says "Well, is there anything you need, like directions? You don't look like your from around here."
"No, I know my ways. Since you seem like the only normal person around here, I'll have to ask you something." says Zoar.
"Oh, well what's your question?" says Ami, curious.
"Your the hacker I've heard about, right?" Zoar says looking down at her.
"Hacker? Is that really what people call me... oh Cyrus..." she sighs.
"Look I'm not a hacker but I am very skilled when it comes to computers so-" Zoar stops her.
"Good then. Where do you live? I need your help, I'll pay too." Zoar says.
"What? I didn't say I'd do anything yet!" Ami says, a little frustrated.
"I'll pay you 500 Satu." Zoar says holding out a five 100 Satu coins.
Ami looks at the money for a moment then grabs it.
"Fine, cmon!" Ami says as she opens a door right beside her.
"Oh, we're already here." Zoar says to himself.
Zoar walks in and the whole area is one room the size of a large bedroom. A bed in one corner with a desk and computer set up beside it. A fridge and sink in another. A toilet and bath in the open in another corner. Then a couch and TV taking up that last area.
"I'm guessing you live alone." says Zoar.
"Yep. Been alone since 16." Ami says as she sets her sack down on her desk.
She sits down in her hair and takes her boots and socks off.
"Alright Zoar, what do you need."
"I need my birth certificate."
"Hmm, yeah I can do it."
She begins typing swiftly.
Her keyboard and mouse movement skills where very precise.
"Oh yeah, Zoar." says Ami.
"What?" says Zoar as he picks up trash around the room.
"How did you know I was a so called "hacker"?" she asks as she waits for something to load.
"Oh it was easy, you look like a complete shut."
"Thanks for the compliment, your a mighty fine gentleman Mr.Malite." She says then begins working again.
Zoar continued cleaning her mess of a room and finished quite quickly.
"Alright!" she spun around to look at Zoar and saw her clean room.
"Whao! You cleaned it up in here!"
"Did you find it?" Zoar says walking up to the computer.
She spins back around. "Yep! Here, you can look all you want!" she says, letting go of the mouse.
Zoar scrolls through all the information, reading it all.
"Klara Anor and Gene Malite." Zoar said.
Those were the names of Zoar's parents.
"Can you see where they live?" asked Zoar.
"Yeah, just click on the names." says Ami as she brushes her hair.
Zoar clicked on Klara Anor.
It said she lived in a city named "Dandilato".
Zoar clicked on Gene Malite.
"It seems they got divorced and my father changed his name to Neal Abrain." Zoar says.
"NEAL ABRAIN!?" Ami says pushing Zoar aside and looking at the computer.
"Yeah, is that a big deal?" Zoar said looming from aside.
"Neal Abrain is the owner of NEO Earth! Only thr biggest company in the world! Neal Abrain has had conspiracies pop up about him for years but rumour says most of the government's salary comes from Neal paying them to keep his crimes a secret." Says Ami, scrolling through text.
"I see."
Zoar turns around and begins to leave.
"Wait! Where are you going!?" says Ami.
"Thanks, I'm going after them now." Zoar says and walks off.
"Wai-" Ami is cut off by a shutting door.
Zoar feels adrenaline rush through him knowing his mother is only a Forest away from him.
He had many questions about his father on the other hand though. He decided to save them for when he meets his mother though.
"ZOAR, WAIT FOR ME!"
Zoar turns around and sees Ami rushing after him.
He stops and sighs.
"Why the Hell are you coming with me?" asks Zoar, as he starts walking again.
"I want to ask the ex wife of Neal Abrain a couple of questions!" Ami says as she keeps up with Zoar.
"Whatever, don't slow me down." Zoar says as the approach the entrance to Galgale Forest.
