The Warp Falcon

Chapter 9: Duality

3rd POV

The scene showed Y/n waking up in MaxTac Armor except for his face. He looked around confused before a MaxTac lieutenant slammed his hand on his shoulder.

"Get your shit together, Cyberpsychos are something to fear for a reason."

"Huh? Uh... understood." Y/n didn't understand what was happening but followed orders.

The man gestured to rappel down, and Y/n followed suit. Then he saw David with glitching eyes and blood all over his clothes.

"David? What the fuck happened?" David suddenly revealed a mantis blade and slashed it toward him, but a MaxTac officer shot off David's arm.

"The fuck...?" Y/n was surprised as multiple guns came out of David's arm. Every MaxTac shot at David, as Y/n widened his eyes.

"H-hey stop it! Don't shoot him!"

David laid on the ground as his limbs were replaced with different types of weaponry. He looked around confused before locking sight with Y/n.

"Hel-"

"You fucking monster." A MaxTac officer said before shooting David.

"No!" Y/n said, but the world around him glitched out of existance.

...

"Guh!"
"Hargh!"

Y/n and David came out of the braindance, they looked at each other as reality set in. They both panted as they had experienced another traumatic experience.

"So what do you think? A preem high, wasn't it? Experiencing your own death instead of another's. Being apart of a friend's death?" JK said.

"Are you shitting me?!" David shouted.

"F-fuck!" Y/n almost puked but swallowed it back.

"Preem high? You're a fucking psychopath!" David continued.

"Heh, and here I thought you're a fan! Most of them are whack jobs. But you guys are real cyberpunks, aren't you? What is it you're after? Attempting to ambush me like that... Clearly, you've done your homework. Seen, my other works perhaps? Say the Edgerunner series?" JK said as he walked to them

"I have. Seen most of your stuff." David Replied

"Wow, I'm flattered. Has it ever tickled your curiosity wondering how I get my hands on so many cyberpsycho scrolls?" JK sarcastically said.

"Fuck no! Who likes that type of shit!" Y/n said.

"Yeah!" David shouted.

"You see, all military prototypes come in with a built-in braindance scroller. Some folks are willing to pay through the nose for that kind of material. You're Sandevistan, do you know wore it originally? James Norris, that's who. All in all, Norris mowed down 27 people. But that's where MaxTac finally put an end to his killing streak. Yes... Take my word. It's not often you find someone who can go toe-to-toe with a Psycho Squad. Oh my, what a gem. Truly one of the best I've seen in a long while. I have stellar expectations for you, too. And what a marvellous surprise you haven't snapped already, Fight all you want, the Sandy will eventually drive you mad. I cannot wait to capture it... As for you Albino boy, you're Sandy isn't ripe. But that makes it even better!"

"I ain't gonna go psycho! No fucking way!" David desperately said

"A common belief that all chrome fiends hold on to desperately. They know they're sane until they're not."

"No, not me!"

"Oh, yes, you too. Another couple of tangos with MaxTac and your brain will pop like a party balloon."

"No wait! You ain't gonna force us to watch those BDs again..."

"C'mon just give us some downtime!" Y/n pleaded, but JK continued the braindance

"No, stop! Cut it out! No! Stop!"

Suddenly the lights turned on, Dorio kicked the door open with Lucy and Marie right behind her.

"Oh..." JK said in amusement.

"Not an inch!" Dorio ordered.

JK reached for something on his waist only to get shot at by Lucy.

"Hands up or you die."

"Hmm, you got me."

The scene cut to David panting in a maddened state, while Y/n was screaming in agony.

"Lucy, do something!" Marie held Y/n down as he convulsed. Lucy ran towards the computer and hacked it to stop the BD from continuing.

"How are they?" Dorio asked.

"In a BD I think" Lucy replied

"Can you get both of them out?"

"I'm trying."

"Need a hand?" JK said.

"Shut up fuckface." Marie pointed her gun at him.

"Done!" The BD wreaths exploded as they got hacked. Y/n and David got their shit together and stood up. Y/n puked after the BD, while David wheezed in exhaustion.

"You guys okay?" Dorio asked.

"Yeah." David replied.
"Hell no." Y/n said.

"Aw, what a shame. So? How might I assist you, fine people? Not here to kill. I am still alive." JK asked.

"Not off the table." Dorio pushed the barrel of her Malorian Overture.

"Come now, I wish to cooperate."

"Yeah, you catch on quick."

Whirling blades could be heard above the crew, so when they looked up they saw Armed Drones.

"Armed Drones!" Dorio shouted.

"Bingo!"

"Call them off!" She ordered.

"I'm afraid I can't. Just enjoy the show. Custom spec. Fully bulletproof. My pride and joy. Good luck making a dent with your puny one-shots."

"It's all I need to blow your fucking head off!" Dorio replied back.

"Well, hardly the smartest thing. It wouldn't stop them from turning you into a bloodstain on my floor."

"You better fucking pray they don't start going open season, while I'm using you as a meat shield." Dorio shot at the Drones causing no damage whatsoever.

"It's always smart to have a spare."

"Goddamit!"

"Ah! Seems you're surrounded. Ready to throw in the towel yet?"

"Shut your mouth! Lucy?"

"I'm working on it. Need more time..." Lucy continued hacking the drones. The armed drone aimed its turret at her and was about to fire, when David took her pistol and shot at it. Y/n grabbed Dorio's Overture.

"Gonna borrow this for a sec, aunt." Y/n shot at a drone.

"Y/n!" Marie shouted.

"Help Lucy!"

"Got it..."

The world turned into a blue hue as Y/n used his Sandevistan for the first time since the incident. It whirled into life and Y/n shot around the drones with David covering his back. Suddenly, David tripped on himself and was about to get flatlined when it suddenly sparked and broke down.
