Chapter 25

(R'S POV)

I was in the comic book store looking for my God of High-School manga. The store name was Wilkins. I went there after school all the time to look for more cards and stuff, you know the usual. This place was like my safe haven I love going here. I turned around and saw one of those new kids starring in the window looking at the books. Then he turned to me. I guess he noticed that I was looking. Then you just begin to walk off. I ran out of the store in pursuit of him.

"Hey!" I shouted. There were a lot of people around and they stared awkwardly.

I was coming closer then get this, the kid starts to walk a little faster. I feel like I was chasing the forever and yet I still couldn't catch up to him. I was walking walking until finally, he stopped. He then stopped and turned, it looked as if he was going to have a conversation.

"Your name is Rodman right?" Well I guess that skips my full introduction.

"Just call me R. That's what all the ladies call me, ya know, if I had any." I grinned slyly. As I began to walk closer, his phone began to ring. He began to talk on the phone.

"What did he do?" He asked surprised. I wonder what he was talking about. The conversation seemed to be pretty short noticed. He left me pretty confused and curious as to what was going on.

"It came from a box?! What is it called?" He continued. A box? This piqued my interest.

"Arsenal? What kind of name is that?" Needless to say I was wide-eyed when I heard about the Arsenal. How did they even know about that. They didn't look like operatives so...no it just couldn't be.

He then turned to me as he hung up the phone. "Do you know about Arsenal? And if so where can I get one?" I stood there extremely confused. I pretty much swore to secrecy not to tell about the Arsenal, especially to some newcomers. I remained silent.

"All I know is that it can manifest weapons out of thin air. Sounds pretty cool, I can actually do something like that myself." Then let me down to an alleyway as if to show me something.

"COME FORTH GEAR BOOSTER, RAGNAROK AND RENEGADE." He yelled. He didn't had a black roguelike armor appear on his body. A huge scythe on his back, and twin daggers in his hands. "This is my Proto gear." No joke I almost pissed myself.

"Dude, you so cool!" I said like a fanboy. You know what, to hell with it, I might as well show him what I got. I pulled out my black and gold Arsenal.

"You wanted to know what an Arsenal was. Well this is it!" With a flash of gold light I had transformed into my battle gear. My cloak hiding my face. My gold power gauntlets and boots shining in the moonlight. My sniper strapped to my back along with black and gold scythe, my daggers clipped right by my waist. My mp5s strapped to my calves. Oh yeah! I was cool!

"How's about we go on some nightly raids?" I suggested. I had a look of excitement in my eyes.

"Sure, I had time to waste." He said.

"I'm gonna be Rod the god and you can be me sidekick: Proto Man!"

"I'm not a sidekick. We're equals." We Begin The Hop building from building in the night. We then screamed "PLUS ULTRA!!!"
