Me: Who are you?
The man looked at me.

???: Why I am famous. I have been on the news for the past week. I am sure you have heard of me.

Me: Look man. I don't know who you think I am. Does it look like I can even watch TV? I have no home. No TV. I sleep on a box. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go find my friend.

???: You don't know me? Well then, I am Roman Torchwick. Now I have a job opportunity for you. I promise I will help you find your friend if you accept it. All you have to do is go here tonight.

He handed me a card that said FROM DAWN TO DUST. I looked up to see he was gone. So I went out and continued to look for Neo. Eventually I ended up finding the shop the guy was talking about. I thought about his deal and decided I would come back later. So I went back to searching. Soon, it was getting dark and I decided to go back to that shop. Only I didn't remember how to get there. So I started walking aimlessly hoping I found it. A few hours later, I did. And there was a fight going on. There were a bunch of men standing around a girl with a HUGE scythe. She stopped whatever music she was listening to.

Roman: Okayyy... Get her!

Me: So I am confused here.

Roman: Kid. You are a little late. I have to go.

A guy landed at Roman's feet.

Roman: You were worth every cent. Truly, you were.

He looked to the girl, dropped his cigar and crushed it with his cane as approaching police sirens were heard.

Roman: Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around...

He raised his cane and opened the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid.

Roman: ...I'm afraid this is where we part ways.

Roman unleashed a red blast at the girl, who fired at the ground and leaped over it. When she landed and looked up, Roman wasn't there, and was climbing up a ladder on a nearby building.

Red: You coming?

Me: Sure. Why not? But I am just watching. I can't fight.

Roman made it to the roof, with the girl high-flying again and landing right behind him. I climbed up the ladder.

Ruby: Hey!

Roman stopped at the edge.

Roman: Persistent...

Ruby readied to fight him, but a getaway Bullhead rised up and opened the hatch to allow Roman inside.

Roman turned around and held up a red gem.

Roman: End of the line, Red.

He threw it out at her feet and fired at her, resulting in a large explosion.

Roman: Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Me: That's a huge explosion.
