Chapter 3

  "Undercity gang members becoming Samurai. Surely such a thing would never happen. As those creatures don't care about humanity they just want to take and destroy. Not build or protect"-Professor speaking in the morning news at channel 7 New Tuscon News -2057

  Blinking at the words inside my head shaking my head once then looking down to the rebar sticking out of my leg "Voices.. And that's bad" Said and moving to pull it out.

  Voices I'm just one you know. And don't do that you will bleed out. Now lets start by getting you Class 1 Medical Utilities it will cost you fifty points.

  "Points.. And how do I get those quite sure I have none." I said to myself if I'm going crazy well might as well roll with it I thought.

  Oh you get them by killing Antithesis, saving people and a few other things that we can get in to later. But now! You do have points 50 from those model 3's you just killed. Even if by accident.

  And 100 as your starting bonus! Well what are you waiting for Medical Utilities then Nano-Regenerative Suite for 20 points and a WoundStop for 5 points.

  "That sounds good lets go with that." I said to myself when in Rome and all that I thought.

  Suddenly two boxes appeared beside me blinking slowly I reached out and poked one of them then opens the first to reveal a inhaler with a mask attached to it similar to a re breather flipping the other open with a quick move of my uninjured arm revealing a water bottle with some kind of nozzle on the other end."So I'm not going crazy here.. I..Wait you are real?!" I asked the air.

  Of course I'm real what else would I be? Now take the inhaler place it against your face and breath in deeply as you press the button on top of it.

  Taking the mask inhaler hybrid and pressing it over my mouth only to press down and breath in deeply just end up in a coughing fit as it felt like I was breathing in a swarm of tiny electric bees or breathing in an electric cloud. After calming down lean leaning back I'd speak "And next?"

  Take the WouldStop in your wounded arm. Then grab the rebar in the other and this will suck! But you will have to pull it out and then spray foam in to the wound.

  Blinking I look down to my leg and slowly grabs the bottle. "I guess.. Here goes nothing" Grabbing the rebar and pulling it out slowly then ripping it out with a scream "Aaarrghh! Fucking fuck that hurts!" Screamed out as I push the nozzle in and presses spraying the foam in to the wound and slowly pulling it out dropping the bottle and leaning back against the dumpster with heavy breaths. Only to check my augs to see that Jack have been sending messages that I have missed.

  Jack:Evan you there you better not be crushed.

  Jack: Hey Answer me damn it!Jack: If you are dead I will personally drag you back and you won't like that.. Hal will fucking kill me.

  Laughing a bit before opening up the message software. And sending.

  Evan: Alive.. A bit hurt will find a way out of here in a bit.

  Jack: Fuck you scared us there for a moment. We are heading west meet us at the square we need to get back to the pit.

  Evan: Got it. Will move soon.

  Looking down at the blood stained pant leg and mostly closed up cuts in my arm I try to stand only to fall down again. "Not yet I see.."

  Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  No it might be too early to move just yet. Fenris said But that means we can start looking at weapons, Your current.. weapon if I can even call it that will not do. Not at all lets get you some proper weapons so.. What will it be melee guns or something that goes boom. Please say boom. Shaking my head and laughing a bit before looking up at the ceiling far above them. "Boom is hardly a weapon choice. Besides.." Closing my eyes for a moment, "I think that I will need something that won't collapse more building on top of me." That is quite fair, I will then suggest the class I kinetic rifles Catalog. It will cover normal rifles and will also allow you to get better shells for that.. 'weapon' as if that rusty thing can be called such.

  For 50 points. And then I would advise a Tunnel sweeper semi auto shotgun for 10 points it comes with nine shells. And if you leave that piece of scrap you were using here I will toss in a weaponlight for 1 extra point.

  Blinking slowly. "How much would the light cost normally?" I ask as I try to stand up again and manages to get up with only a bit of strain.

  Oh.. 1 Point. But you can't blame me for trying can you?

  Snorting and tossing the old double barrel in to the dumpster that I had been sitting beside. "I will take that Tunnel sweeper then."

  Unlocking Kinetic rifles catalog -50 points

  New Purchase One tunnel sweeper semi auto shotgun with a weaponlight attached loaded with buckshot.-11 points

  And a box appears at my feet. I lean down and open the box only to find a rather boxy looking gun with a simple stock and light attached to the magazine tube and some kind of reflex sight on top of it. As I pick it up its about as heavy as the old double barrel. Looking around at the ruined alley way. Where there once was a path with old construction materials and trash lining the sides there now just the remains of an old house blocking the path to one side. Leaving just the way that the Model threes had come from. Fiddling with the shotgun in my hands I take a step towards that direction.

  Stopping by the corner before peeking around it only to find an empty back alley some dumpsters and fallen planks here and there along with glass from the windows that broke in the explosion. I slowly walk down getting about half way before hearing the sound of shuffling from a corner up ahead and another Model three walking around it looking down the other way. I raise the shotgun and aim taking a deep breath only for the model three to turn its head spot me and charge. Causing me to jerk the trigger shooting wide hitting the right front leg of the three causing it to tumble over its head exposing its belly. Quickly pulling the gun over and pulling the trigger again having it kick against my shoulder again kicking off my aim and almost causing me to take a step back considering the sudden power difference from the old gun.

  Forgot to mention. These shells are a bit more powerful and will effect the aim a bit. But you will get it. Point and pull the trigger and all

  "That.. Would have been good to know before I ran in to an enemy." I said as the sound of claws could be heard around the corner and two more model 3's round the corner. Ready this time I press the shotgun in to his shoulder before firing the gun kicking again this time hitting the second model 3 in the back causing it to fall down as the third jumps and in a panic I pull the trigger twice more killing the third. Looking between the dead Models.

  2xModel 3 = 20 points

  "Wait two but there are three of them here" I half yell looking between the three only to see that the second one is still dragging itself towards him. "Oh.. Never mind" Looking down at the gun before stepping up and firing down at its head from close range causing plant matter to splatter up at him. The alley way smelling of gun-smoke mold and cut grass.

  1xModel 3 = 10 points

  Total= 34

  I stop and rubbing my right ear a bit. "I need something to protect my hearing. Else I will go deaf here.."

  Oh no need to worry we can fix that! Both actually for 2 points I can get you simple PMC ear-protectors.

  "Go for it. Better having trouble hearing then not hearing at all"

  These will allow you to hear everything around you perfectly fine. Will just cut off any sound that will damage your hearing.

  PMC Ear-protectors -2points

  Total = 32

  An other small box appearing at my feet pulling it open to find what looks surprisingly like a pair of over the ear headphones in a gun metal gray and glowing lines of midnight blue around the edge.

  "Whats with the glow?" I asked as I put them on covering my ears perfectly before moving on. Holding the shotgun up aiming ahead as I move forwards again.

  Many vanguards seem to like things when they glow thinking they make their gear look more advanced.

  Stepping around the corner to look down an other mostly abandoned alleyway. Small corners for dumpsters but half way down this one a door lays broken something large is stuck in the door frame wiggling around. The thing was the size of a small bear and had tentacles for a face at least that's how it looked from this angle. "What.. is that" Asked and raising the shotgun up aiming at it moving to squeeze the trigger as Fenris spoke.

  That's a model four and you are in luck as it seems to have gotten itself stuck somehow. I'd suggest getting a bit closer then shooting it.

  That caused me to stop before walking forwards a bit until Fen spoke up again.

  This is close enough any close and you'd be in range of its attacks and we do not want that do we.

  Stopping and aiming just to fire once hitting and blasting a way some of its face. At least I think that was its face it kept thrashing going even wilder then before causing the doorway to creak and start cracking. My eyes going wide as I pulled the trigger again hitting the door frame freeing the thing. "Fuck! That's.. Fuck.." I'd swear to myself as the bear turned and rushed towards me one tentacle shooting out as I tossed myself to the side and pulled the trigger once twice then at the third all I heard was a click as the bear thing fell down, not moving. I slowly moved to sit against the wall breathing quickly. "I.. I need to learn how to shoot.."

  1x Model 4 = 15 points
