Lucy: "Oh, and Lucas, make sure Jeremy suffers. Hit 'em with as many Bounce Backs as it takes. Who knows, maybe you can OD on those." She'd walk out of the room.
Lucas: "Time to wake up, you fucker." He'd inject Jeremy with a heavily modified Bounce Back.
Jeremy: He'd wake up and start coughing. "Fffffffffffuck..."
Lucas: He'd pull out a pistol and put it against Jeremy's chest. "Don't worry, you won't die but I'll make you wish you were." He'd pull the trigger and shoot him in the chest.
Jeremy: He'd pull his firearm halfway from his side but pass out from shock.
Lucas: "Tch- What a shame. He didn't even try to fight back." He'd take Jeremy's gun away and take out the ammo. He'd then start kicking him in the side. "Come on and get up! I know you've got some fight in you!"
~A man dressed in a lab coat with white multicolor hair would walk up and shoot Lucas in the chest. He'd then look over at Jeremy. "Poor thing." He'd place his hand on Jeremy's chest and heal the wound.~
Jeremy: He'd breathe in air, and his eyes would widen. "Aww...what...? Who are...What happe-"
Takumi: He'd smile. "The name's Takumi."
Jeremy: "Haaaa, knew it... Thanks for the uhm...chest healing. Can't even feel a scratch." He'd get up. "Any idea who Lucas and Lucy work for?"
Takumi: "I do not know who they work for, but I do know that they are wanted."
Jeremy: "So, I assume you know who I am? Or why I'm here?"
Takumi: "I have no idea who you are. What good things have been said about me?"
Jeremy: "'Member a girl named Dem? Brought her to NC long ago? There's quite a bit to catch up on, but I'll give you info on what's currently going on."
Takumi: "Ah, Dem! God, its been 17 years since I've last seen her. How is she doing?"
Jeremy: "She's...in the net, gone..." He'd choke up. "Her n-necklace just b-broke outta nowhere, and that was her life source...she said you were her only hope at being brought back to life...she passed earlier today. I'm here to find you, and I guess you found me, heh.. " He'd sniffle.
Takumi: "S-she's gone? Th-that should be impossible. The necklace itself should be impossible to break... Unless there were instances where she overexerted her powers to the point the necklace could no longer contain the amount of energy. And even then, the necklace should still hold up even though it's weaker."
Jeremy: "She did quite a bit, and she made me one too."
Takumi: "How-"
Jeremy: "Mine broke when hers did. These are questions you'd have to ask her, man. That is...if we're able to get her back."
Takumi: "Does she even want to come back to life?"
Jeremy: He'd freeze. "What makes you say that?"
Takumi: "She may be comfortable in the Net."
Jeremy: "Do you know what's out there? It could be emptiness, a void, nothing... I know she'll be happy with me."
Takumi: "If you say so. Well, in that case." He'd grab Jeremy's should and teleport them to his lab. "Welcome to my lab."
~Jeremy would look around.~
~There would be vials and various lab equipment scattered throughout the lab.~
Takumi: "I'm currently working on a new and improved version of the necklace. I've spent my entire life here revising and creating new technology. Remember that engram?"
