CH 3: Metal Breakdown

Jem laid down on the makeshift bed which he set in the back of the van. Beside him was Eric then Jeth. The van was closed while the ventilation was on. The van was parked in the parking lot of Electrolite Battery Corp building the whole time. The one who hired him didn't even bothered them.

Hours passed as he tried to find someone by the name of Metalbeak. Trying to ask for some direction can attract unwanted attention so he decided to find the idiot alone. He struggles with the intersection pathways and crossroads as he tried to find the way. But luckily, a group of holdupers blocked his way. Lucky for Blackshot, unlucky for them.

Three holdupers aimed their pistol at Blackshot as he crosses this bridge. The night was dark and the lamp post was destroyed, giving only little light to them.

"What do you guys want?" He asked.

"Your money. Hand them over to me, kid before I kill you!"

"You think I'm gonna do it just because you say so?"

"You--I killed a lot of men, you hear me? A lot of--"

Before he could even ended his sentence, Blackshot drew his pistol and shot his forehead. He shot another one in the head and the other, on the leg.

Blackshot approached the screaming holduper. He stepped on his wound as the holduper screamed.

"Didn't see that one coming, do you?"

"You are a dead kid!!"

"Look, I don't have time for your bullcrap. Tell me, do you know a guy named Metalbeak?"

"I will be dead if I tell you."

"Why?"

"He'll kill me."

"No that ain't gonna happen."

"Oh really?"

"Because I am the one who will kill you first!" Blackshot says as he grabbed the man's head and absorbed his memories.

Couple of minutes later, the man was shaking, his nose and eyes were bleeding. He spitted his blood shortly after he got 'Sucked'.

Blackshot pressed a gun on the side of his forehead.

"Thank you for your cooperation." He then pulled the trigger.

Blackshot stood up. He followed the map on his head as he tries to reach Metalbeak.

Hours later, he arrived at the night club which was under Metalbeak's control. He entered but the bouncer stopped him.

"No minors allowed." He said.

Blackshot punched his groin and sent a knee strike on his chest, sending him inside the bar. He grabbed a bottle and watched the bouncer stood up, only to be struck in the head.

Two more bouncers approached on his left and right side. Blackshot drew his weapon and gave each a bullet in the chest.

The patrons and workers of the bars started to scramble out of the bar, until the only remaining ones were seven armed men and eight thugs.

"I am here to find a guy named Metalbeak." Blackshot says.

"You looking for me?" A voice says.

A guy with a metallic mask that conceals half of his face appeared in the balcony of the second floor. Two hunk guys appeared behind him which makes his enemies eighteen in amount.
