The Warp Falcon

Chapter 5: Upgrade

Memory Sequence

The scene started out in Y/n's point of view. He was talking to his father when all of a sudden sparks came out of his neck. The world turned slow-motion as Raiden fell to the ground, the netrunner was slowly revealed from his back with his arm outstretched.

Thud!

"G-guh." Raiden twitched as he lay on the floor.

"Time for you to die." The grinning netrunner walked to Y/n.

"Dad!" A limping Y/n could be seen flaring up his Sandevistan.

3rd POV

Y/n's Eyes snap open, he shot up as he is covered in a cold sweat. Suddenly, Y/n grunted in pain as he felt soreness in his limbs, oddly weighted. He inspected them to find them wrapped in bandages.

"Fuck..." Y/n said as he clenched his fists.

He looked around before zoning in on his sword case. Y/n stood up and limped towards it, he held the case as a crutch and slowly limped towards the door. When he opened the door he saw various people from Maine's crew partying in a garage of some sort. Dorio noticed Y/n and raised her beer bottle.

"The little man is up!" Dorio cheered.

"What's up choom! You look a little less fucked up, hahaha!" Pilar laughed out.

"You got some guts, kid. Going past your limits and overusing your Sandy, but that doesn't mean it's good for you." Maine praised and scolded Y/n.

"You know where pops is?"

"Your Cyber-Upped dad is finding clues about the netrunner's boss or something like that." Maine Waved it off.

"It's best if you enjoy the party with the rest of the crew." He continued.

"Alright." Y/n nodded.

The white-haired boy looked around before finding David standing at the edge of the party. He limped towards him and greeted him.

"What's up, choom? You preem?"

"Yeah, but you don't look preem yourself." David inspected Y/n's bandaged limbs.

"Nah, it's fine. Just overused the Sandy, although my arms do feel a bit heavier than usual..."

"Hah! You got fucked up within 3 Sandy uses, that means I'm better than you." David flexed his arm.

"Shut up you gonk! I heard your first mission almost went FUBAR if it wasn't for Maine!"

"Gr, I'll flatline your ass!"

"Not unless I zero yours first!"

"Settle down boys." A short woman said, she handed the two of them cups of beer.

"Huh? Sorry, who are you" David asked. Y/n looked at her curiously but otherwise took the cup.

"You don't remember me?! After all, we've been through..." The woman exclaimed.

"Hnnn, You were at the bar." David remembered.

"You like my performance?" She asked him as she smiled. Y/n sipped his cup as the woman flirted with David.

"Sure." David Replied

"I'm Rebecca, I hear you're joining Maine's team?"

"Probably, is this carbonated?"

"Cheers, Then I guess I'll be seeing a lot more of you."

"Cheers." David said as she walked away.

"Thought you were aiming for that Lucy chick?" Y/n drank more beer.
