ShadowFall: Cyberpunk.

Chapter 2 : Part 1.

"Oh for hell's sake what's wrong now?!" Aquino furiously gets up from his seat. The pilot sighs, "Someone must've tampered the engine." "V - TOLS have engines?" "Of course, how else would I fly this bucket?!" The pilot frowns, looking at Aquino from his seat. "Well, where are we?" Aquino looks outside the window. "A desert ... some sort of desert." The pilot says, fiddling with his controls. "Woah .. I've never seen this before, mind if I get some fresh air?" Aquino turns, "Yeah sure whatever." The pilot says, trying to concentrate.

Aquino steps out onto the hot sand, feeling the heat through his boots. He climbs a little, once he reaches the top, all that lies before him was sand .. sand .. sand .. sand, but .. there was something else in the distance? Aquino squints his eyes, trying to get a better look at the figure, it was .. a female? "Hey -." Suddenly the V - TOL's engine starts up. "COME ON!" The pilot shouts before taking off. Aquino hops back into the V - TOL and they fly off.

"Is' gon' be a long rideee." The pilot says on the intercom, Aquino didn't bother listening, he was too busy sketching the figure. Who was that ... ? Aquino blinks, then rests his head back against the chair, and dozes off to sleep.  A few hours later, Aquino wakes up to the sound of a pitter - patter on the window, it was raining .. in the desert? Aquino thought to himself. "W-Where are we?" Aquino gets up from the seat, going to the pilot. "Mapmaker forest, it's a rain forest." "How long have we been traveling?" "A good 7 hours, and yeah I stayed awake all this time." The pilot says, chewing on something. "Get some rest kid, we're a few days away from the Gates of M -" The V - TOL suddenly crashed into a tree.

Everything went black.

: Aquino's POV :

My ears were ringing, my vision was blurry .. I was hearing .. a voice .. it sounded like: "Subayaku, kimyōna bōshi de otoko o tsukande kudasai!" It was the only sentence I could hear clearly, my translator was in my pack and I couldn't do anything. I slowly rise, trying to regain self conciousness. I blink a few times, there was fire every where, pieces of the V - TOL were scattered everywhere. I left a tingly feeling in my hand, then a unbearable sting. I raise my hand .. there was a metal shard in it.

: Story POV :

Aquino looks at his hand in shock, but he realizes there's only one thing to do.

Pull.

It.

Out.
