Session 2
(NOTE: I did change the wording on Ed)
Silence
"Ohhh..." Gene moaned looked into a blurred darkness. "Hey, Jim, did you catch the number on that bus?"
"Hmm," a voice came from the darkness. "Strange, he's conscious faster than I expected. After using that caster number nine, I thought you'ld be out for hours."
"Ohhh..." Gene moaned again watching his vision clear. There were two figures in the darkness, but they still couldn't be identified. "Awe, damn it. It wasn't a dream after all. What did you do?"
"Well," the other shadow said. "Lucky for you, we stopped that android. It was a space pirate, not the rent we know."
"Huh?" Gene said watching the shadows. "It wasn't you that knocked me out?"
"No," said one of the figures walking into the light, it was Spike.
"But seeing as though you're the one with the bounty on him, we've got some questions for you and we do expect answers." The other figure said walking into the light, it's Ural.
"I'm not one for answering questions," Gene said. "Especially for cowboy scum like you."
Spike lifted his leg and kicked Gene in the stomach. "We're not scum, we're against the government as much as you."
"Ohh..." Gene moaned again. "Fine, I'll answer your questions."
"Why does the government have a bounty on you?" Spike said walking closer.
"How should I know?" Gene replied as if between the brink of conscious and unconscious.
"Hey Spike," Ural said. "This isn't getting us anywhere."
"Your right," Spike replied lighting a cigarette. "I think we can think of some better questions tomorrow. Let's go get some sleep and continue tomorrow."
Ural and Spike leave the room along with Gene's sight. "Hey! Wait a minute! Your not going to leave me here, are you?!" Gene yelled, then paused. "Ohhh, I give up."
"Gene?" Jim said. "Gene? Are you there?"
"Jim?" Gene said. "Where are you?"
"Gene, please respond," Jim said.
"Awe, man," Gene said. "I'll never get out of here."
Several hours later, while everyone was sleeping, even Gene, a loud noise woke everyone up. It was like nothing anyone heard before. It was a screeching sound that broke threw the wall in front of Gene.
"What the hell?" Gene yelled in surprise. "What's happening?"
Spike, Ural, and Jet came running, only to find a huge hole in the wall. When they peaked outside nothing was there. Everyone stood still for several minutes listening to the sounds, but nothing happened.
"Now I know I didn't dream that," Gene said trying to make someone laugh, but only got a stink eye.
"Not a good time for jokes," Spike said lighting a cigarette.
"You know those aren't healthy," Gene said.
Spike just gave Gene the stink eye again. "Ok, I guess you do," Gene said looking away.
"This wasn't a random attack you know," Ural said.
"What?" Gene said. "Are they after me already?"
"No," Ural replied. "Your bounty won't be posted for another five to six day. I think this was directed at me."
"Why's that?" Jet asked.
"Before I came here I killed a government official," Ural said trying to think. "It was probably the government, we need to get out of here."
"Hold up," Spike said. "We're not going anywhere. We've still gotta find... Ugh!" Spike dropped his cigarette and flew 30 feet down the hall slamming into a wall from a mysterious force of sound.
A strange, evil voice began laughing from the shadows. "You fools, I can camouflage myself everywhere."
"Ed hear of this," Edward said running around the room with her arms swaying through the air. "It's a new system that can camouflage persons with their surroundings."
"What?" Jet said. "How do you know about it?"
"Ed see it on BHH Net," Edward replied. BHH stands for Blue Heaven Hackers. As quickly as she went into the hall, she ran back away again.
"Ohh," Spike moaned getting up slowly and quickly shaking off the effects. "Alright, what now?"
"I'll tell you what now," said Sazuka from the opening in the wall. "I'll handle this."
"Sazuka?" Gene questioned. "What are you doing here?"
Sazuka ignored Gene's question. She formed the classic samurai stance with her feet spread apart. She looked into the middle of space, where the invisible man was supposedly standing.
"Before killing him," Spike said. "I would like to know who hit me."
"You can call me Shadow," he said.
"I'll be right back," Spike said. "I need to go get something."
"Shadow?!" Sazuka said in surprise. "Are you... Ugh!" Sazuka was caught off guard by the familiar name.
Spike quickly ran back with some goggles and looked down a Sazuka lying on the ground. "What the? Ha! You caught me off guard that first time, but this time I won't be so easy. You see these goggles? They're called HVG, also known as Heat Vision Goggles. I'm sure you know what these can do."
Spike quickly put them on, and saw his target clear as day. Shadow began running down the hall, but Spike chased after him pushing everyone out of his way. When shadow began to tire out, Spike entered a Thai Boxing stance and stood several feet away.
Shadow ran towards Spike, then jumped into the air with a flying kick, but he slipped the over-exaggerated attack. Then Spike came back with a crescent kick to the face. Shadow's camouflage system deactivated, but he still wasn't down for the count. Shadow drew a knife from behind his back and went to slash Spike, but Spike blocked with his Jericho 941.
Spike quickly ran in and clinched with Shadow before they could break. Spike grabbed the back of Shadow's head and began kneeing and elbowing it. After Spike broke the clinch, Shadow fell to the ground.
"Spike?" Jet said running down the hall. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," Spike replied. "I'm fine, but your right that he was here for a reason. I think it might have been for Gene though. Let's go check on Sazuka and Gene."
They quickly rush back to where Gene and Sazuka were. When they arrive, Gene is free sitting in a chair, but Sazuka is no where to be found.
"How were you released?" Spike asked.
"Easy," Gene said. "Thank Sazuka for that."
"So why didn't you run?" Ural asked curiously.
"Because I'm not the only one wanted now," Gene replied.
"What do you mean?" Jet asked looking in shock.
"Shadow was working for the government," Gene stated. "Looks like we're both wanted now. I feel that if we team up, we can figure out what is truly going on here. "What do you say?" Gene held out his hand toward Spike, awaiting a hand shake.
Spike looked Gene in the eyes, then glanced down at his hand and back at his eyes. Spike clenched his fist tightly, but then slowly released his fist and reached for Gene's hand. They clenched fists and shook on an agreement.
