Hengsha, one of the only places where having an augmented limb could get you killed by other augmented people. Everyone knew about it, that was the reason many people never went down dark streets alone. A lucario made his way down the streets of Hengsha. Like so many others, he too was augmented, and knew all about the dangers. However, he never was one to stray away from danger. His name was Cheng, he was the type of person that thrived in chaos, and climbed to the top using the bodies of other people. Of course, he paid the price of leading such a dangerous lifestyle. A pulverized eye socket, a crushed left hand, his right forearm nearly snapped in two, half of his teeth smashed out, gunshot to the gut, three stab wounds to the back, two stab wounds to the chest, one of which nicked an artery. A few years ago, he wouldn't have survived. Thankfully for him, modern technology and lots of money saved his life.
Both arms and paws were completely replaced to give him the upper hand in combat. His arms had a carbon fibre pattern to them, all the way from the paws to the shoulders. His collarbone was reinforced, as was most of his skeletal structure. He even had an operation to harden his skin, making him more resistant to stabs and slashes. His right eye was so red. It nearly glowed. It was clear that eye was the augmented one. His left eye was red, but that however was natural. His lungs were replaced after a knife penetrated one of them. The only part of his body that was left mostly unchanged was his lower body. He had an operation to reinforce the bones, as well as the skin, but that was it. All these augments made him the perfect target for some people. Cheng was taking a shortcut back to his apartment, the same shortcut he had been taking for a long time. This time was different however. This time, he was being followed. He walked down a dimly lit alley, the golden lights from the main street barely illuminated the dark path ahead.
"Hey!" A high pitched woman's vice echoed throughout the alley.
"Hm?" Cheng turned around to see a female jolteon only a few feet away from him. The jolteon had all four of her legs replaced with shiny metal limbs. The metal seemed very silver, and very reflective. Even in this dim light, it seemed to shine. While her limbs seemed quite new, her eyes seemed to be older. Her eyes seemed more like small circular OLED screens. Whenever she blinked, the bright green color of her eyes suddenly dissapeared for a split second before then reappearing. "What do you want?" He thought aloud until he heard someone approaching him from behind. It was then he realized exactly what they wanted. The lucario spun around just in time to see an augmented machamp throwing two right fists towards him. Both of the machamp's upper arms were replaced. In their place were metallic arms, both looked strong enough to punch a hole in concrete. Without hesitation, the lucario hastily ducked under both of the Machamp's fists before swinging his forearm towards the Machamp's ankles. Before he knew it, the machamp was sweeped off his feet, and on his back.
"Basta-" Before the machamp could finish what he was about to say, the lucario lept on top of him. A single sharp seven inch long spike suddenly flicked out right where the Lucario's knuckles were. That spike was then plunged into the side of the Machamp's head, penetrating his skull and skewering the brain inside. It was a quick death.
The lucario then turned his attention back to the jolteon. By the time he realized what she was doing, it was too late. The jolteon sent a bolt of electricity straight into him, causing his entire body to seize up. All the organic muscles in his body tightened up as the volts surged through him. The lucario heard more footsteps behind him before being struck with something hard, which knocked him out.
Author's note: That's right, I am now doing crossovers! This is the first time I have done one. What made me choose to do this one you may ask? Well to celebrate the announcement and first trailer release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I figured why not do something to show my love for that franchise? XD I played all the Deus Ex games, that's right, even Invisible War which most people never speak of. :3 I have to say that the first one was my favourite, but Human Revolution came close with a damn good soundtrack, cool art design, and fun gameplay. :) From the sounds of it, Mankind Divided will be even better with more choices. As a big fan of RPG games, more choice is always great! Anyway, thank you all for reading!
