"Thank you for having business with us, Mr. Ize. We will be taking this with us now."

Four men effortlessly took the heavy box that contains the machine inside and brought it outside his office where their vehicle awaits. Galvan smiled as they took his work away, and wait patiently until they were out of sight. The payment was already settled between him and his client and all he has to do is to check his bank account.

As soon as they finally left the building, he took a deep sigh and slumped back into his office chair, nape rested onto the back of the chair and his weary eyes were staring directly into the ceiling as if he was thanking it for taking some of his stress away. "Finally..."

He sat upright and took the mini calendar that was sitting on his desk. He tried to remember which of his personal projects are done during that day and which of his tasks are left as he stared into the calendar "Denki Sai's next performance will be in the..." he mumbled as his eyes scanned the numbers and by using his fountain pen, he crossed out a number in the calendar, "next few months ...that means I've got plenty of time to prepare for it. I think I need to call the production manager first."

He took out his phone, dialed a phone number and after a few moments of ringing, the other end of the line finally answered, "Hello, who is this?"

With a smile, he said "Hello manager Lee, this is Galvan, Denki Sai's manager. I would like to know if there are more changes in regards to his next performance?"

"Ah no, same as the last time Galv. I can't believe we have made so much revenue after that performance. Denki is really awesome! By the way, where did you discover him? He is so talented!"

Galvan thought to himself 'aww shucks' before answering "Oh umm he is a mystery for me too. We only met from time to time to help him rehearse for his next concert and also, he likes doing things alone so we have no problems if I cannot attend his performance sometimes. As for his origins,...I'd like to keep that classified."

"Ahh, that's too bad. Anyways good luck with his next concert, he is really on demand right now."

Galvan replied "Thank you and good luck to you too." before the call ended with a beep. He proceeded to close the store's doors and lights before heading upstairs to his personal studio for some dancing practice. The warm humid air of the studio welcomed him as he opened the door so he turned on the AC for some comfort. Just before he turned on the stereo, he remembered his old friend, Caeles, who he hadn't seen in a while. The last time he saw him, he fetches him from a local bar nearby because he is too drunk to pay his own bills. He sighed and pulled out his phone and send him a quick text before plugged the RCA cables at the back of his head activating the CRT monitor that is installed on his body, making semi-gear grinding sounds as it quickly yet precisely cased his head within.

"LET'S DANCE!" Denki yelled as he raised the volume of the stereo before dancing his ass off for his next performance.

"Let me go!"

"Give us your money!"

"No!!! This is the only thing I have left! My child is waiting for me! She is sick!"

"Shut up or I will put a bullet through your brain"

In a dark alley somewhere in the underground portions of the city. A  woman was being cornered with men with their faces covered with a black mask that only revealed their dark, merciless eyes as they threatened her with some knives and a gun.

"Please somebody help!" cried the woman as she held on to her bag with her dear life. Life is hard in some of the underground parts of the city as it lacks the rays of the sun. A huge portion of it was covered with tall industrial buildings and skyways, some of it is old underground mining facilities so it's easy for some people who have bad intentions to stay and do some shady business.
