April 25th 2034. Speedrunners arena. Silica city. "Today, Belle and Lucinia will be trying to beat Ultra Jump Mania the fastest. This is a race." After about 2 hours, I came up to the stage to play warface with them. I picked SED. We started playing. I had to save Lucina's butt many times. After the match, we were getting ready to leave. Belle and I were talking. "You've got skill man, ever thought about becoming a runner?" she asked. I said, "It would take an explosion to get me to give up an arm." Maybe I should've chosen my words more carefully because after that, it happened. The bomb went off, and I was knocked unconscious. I woke with a start. Wiping the sweat off my brow, I looked around when I saw MD-5. Sofia, Tari, Masa, Coconut Boy, and Lamar. Everyone was stunned. "What?" I asked. Sofia said "You were talking in your sleep. Something about Lucina, where's Lucina?" I started to raise my voice "Talking in my sleep?! I was tranqed..." I put my hand on my head. "My head hurts, and you were snooping through my arm?!" Coconut Boy waddled into the room. He said, "Tari, does he have a mini rainstorm on his face?" I turned red with embarrassment. Tari rolled her eyes. She said, "No Theo, he's sweating man. He was unconscious for a while." I said "Theo, I literally started my day off with a coconut hitting my head after waking up on painkillers because i got my arm chopped off and.. Theo?" He was gone, then he waddled into the room with water. "Here, have this. You look flushed." I took it and smiled. He's one likeable person. Only being able to speak for 5 minuets at a time, I asked "You're MD-5 right? the reason I freaked out." I took a sip of water, "was because I had Tascorp on my tail for a full 3 weeks. They wanted me," another sip, "for reasons unknown to me. I'm also very tired." Sofia finally spoke up. "I could get into your arm and find out the problem, but it'll be painful for you." Theo said "What about that canister over there?" I turned my head. Masa said "No it's anesthesia. He'll throw up after words." Lamar's eyes lit up. He said "What if he went into a game? It would brainwash his outer persona, and numb him!" I nodded my head. After a nice night's sleep, Lamar booted up Warface. Then, after I was helped over to the couch (painkillers don't help with movement all that much!), Lamar, Tari, Theo, and I went into the game.
