How It Started
The cute netrunner stared in disbelief at what her boyfriend's brother said. Lucy heard right. Alvaro said his goals without hesitation. According to Lucy, that sounded impossible and more like suicide.
"Wait, what?! Are you serious?!" Lucy asked to confirm Alvaro's sanity. "Yeah, I'm serious. Any problem with that?" Alvaro replied flatly.
"Are you out of your mind?! That's tantamount to suicide! No one in this city can match Adam Smasher, except for Morgan Blackhand, who is currently unknown. Besides, fighting all corporates is like putting you in hell. I know your intentions are good, Al. But think again," Lucy advised. The look on Alvaro's face showed that he was not happy with what Lucy had told him. He went back into the apartment and approached Lucy so that she had to backtrack against the wall.
BRAKKKK
"Are you underestimate me?" Alvaro hit the wall just to the left of Lucy's head, smashing it and making a hole. The cute netrunner widened her light purple eyes.
"Listen, Lucy. I don't like when people look down on me. Usually I would cut off the heads or remove the organs of those who did that. Lucky you are David's girlfriend. Otherwise, you will end up like them. Do you understand? " Alvaro continued.
Lucy nodded her head in fear.
"Don't you want revenge for the deaths of your friends and David? If I were in your position I would have killed them all right then," said David.
"Of course I want. But I can't do anything about it. I'm just a netrunner," Lucy replied, disbelieving herself. "A netrunner or not, that can't be used as an excuse. All you need is determination. Now I ask you again, will you help me to avenge David's death?"
Lucy nodded again.
.
"Good. Ah, one more thing. You're saying fighting corporates is the same as being in hell? You're wrong, Lucy. I'm the one who will put all those fucking corporates in hell. Because I am The Grim Reaper", Alvaro showed a very scary smirk in Lucy's eyes.

Westbrook, Japantown
7.49 AM
.
After the various tensions that occurred, Lucy invited Alvaro to have breakfast. They visited a Japanese restaurant. "What do you want?" Lucy asked.
"Tonkotsu Ramen," replied Alvaro.
" OK, wait a minute," Lucy then looked at the female waiter who was Japanese. "とんこつラーメンと醤油ラーメンを注文したい?" (Could we have a bowl of tonkotsu ramen and shoyu ramen?). Lucy told their order in very fluent Japanese. Alvaro was impressed to hear that.
"わかった。," (Alright). The waiter replied, then headed for the kitchen.
.
"You can speak Japanese?" Alvaro asked, slightly interested.
"Of course. I'm half Japanese, you know? How about you?" Lucy replied a little smugly. Alvaro chuckled in response.
"Well, I'm in the 'can' phase, not the 'master' phase. My adoptive father really adheres to Japanese culture thanks to kenjutsu. Besides that, I also learn from anime from the 2000s," he replied.
"Wow, are you a weeb or something?" Lucy was joking. "Whatever," Alvaro shrugged.
"Then prove it," said Lucy again.
"Prove what?" Alvaro was confused.
"Prove that you can speak Japanese", Lucy challenged Alvaro. The Grim Reaper chuckled.
"Alright then. Maybe this is little rude for you. Ahem...,デビッドのちんぽ の大きさは？" (How big is David's?) Lucy's face turned red as soon as the words came out of Alvaro's mouth. She threw a chopstick at him.
"Al! Seriously? W-why are you asking that? T-that's annoying!" The cute netrunner lowered her face.
"Hahaha, a'ight. I won't ask that again."
A few moments later, the waiter came to bring two bowls of different types of ramen. The appearance of the noodle-based food made Alvaro drool.
.
"Finally, I can eat ramen again. Itadakimasu!" Alvaro raised his chopsticks to feed his mouth very voraciously. It makes a loud slurping sound.
SLURP
SLURP
SLURP
Although it sounds rude, that's the tradition when eating ramen. Customers will make noises when slurping noodles into their mouths. It aims to reward the chef who made the ramen they eat is really good. The louder the sound, the sign that the ramen is very delicious.
Not wanting to lose to Alvaro, Lucy did the same. She slurped the noodle with a very loud sound. Like a competition, Alvaro slurping again with a louder voice.
"Ha ha ha ha...!"
In the end they both laughed together because they felt they were doing something ridiculous. For a moment, forget the sadness they experienced before.
.
.
"I've never seen anyone eat as fast as you"
"If there is a ramen eating contest, I'm sure I'll be the winner"
.
"First, we have to meet Rogue. She is one of the legendary fixers in Night City. She will be of great help to us," said Lucy.
"Whatever. The important thing is to make this revenge mission run smoothly" replied Alvaro.
Exiting the restaurant, they moved towards the Night City Area Rapid Transit (NCART). Using public transportation to cross districts considering they don't have private vehicles. Suddenly, Alvaro and Lucy were interfered by a group of 6 homeless people. They looked at Lucy with lust as they whistled.
"Hola chica! Wanna come with us? We're gonna have some fun!"
"No, thanks. I'm in hurry," Lucy replied flatly.
"Come on. Don't be so ignorant. We invited you nicely, you know," they didn't give up. Trying to tease Lucy again.
"Hey, if she says no, then go. Find another bitch who will accept you". Alvaro challenged them.
"Who do you think you are, pendejo?! You dare stand in our way?!" the biggest one stepped forward and stood right in front of Alvaro. The striking difference in height did not make him flinch.
"Huh, I don't know and don't want to know who you guys are. But the only thing I know for real ..." Alvaro showed a smirk behind the hood.
.
"There will be bloodshed" he waved his cloak, revealing Murasama. Alvaro drew it out and put it back in the sheath.
SLASH
"Aaarghhhh...!"
In the blink of an eye, the big homeless man's right hand was severed from his arm. Causing fresh blood to splash profusely. Lucy and the other homeless people were shocked at the sight of the gore.
'What the?! Just what the fuck is going on?! That matched David's Sandevistan speed! Does Al also have implants in his body?!' Lucy needed answers.
"Hijo de puta! You're dead!" The homeless immediately charged at Alvaro.
"Lucy, stay away from here if you don't want to bathe in blood," Alvaro ordered. Lucy immediately obeyed and hid behind the trash can.
"5? I'll finish it in 3 seconds" Alvaro smirked again and drawed Murasama from the sheath, then moved above normal speed. The movements of the five homeless people seemed slow in his eyes.
1
SLASH
"Aaarghhh...!" Two homeless people lost their left hand and right leg.
2
SLASH
"Aaarghhh...!" The two of them again received slashes in the waist and belly.
3
SLASH
And the last homeless man died with his head separated from his body.
"You who are still alive go and take the body of your dead friend," Alvaro said coldly. They could only nod in fear and then leave with the corpses of their friends.
"If this city is under my control, I assure you that people like them will no longer exist. Scumbags are the forerunners of criminals," Alvaro muttered coldly as he did a chiburi and then sheathed Murasama. Lucy came out of hiding to approach Alvaro, who was standing in the pool of blood. She didn't see any blood stains on his robes.
'There's not even a speck of blood? Did Al really move that fast?' Lucy was again in disbelief.
.
(Author Note: Chiburi is a katana waving movement, to clean the blood stuck to the blade)
.
"You okay?" asked Alvaro.
"Yeah, you?" Lucy asked back.
POKE
"Are you blind or what?" Alvaro poked Lucy's forehead with his index finger. "Ouch! That hurts!" Lucy winced in pain.
"Really? It's just a small poke, you know? Come on, let's get out of here before the police come". Alvaro took a step forward, leaving Lucy behind.
"Hey, Al! Wait!"

Watson, Little China
8.30 AM
The club's distinctive atmosphere is clearly illustrated as soon as Alvaro enters Afterlife. Dark, colorful lights twinkling in every corner, the smell of alcohol, and the crowds of women busy serving customers. Lucy leads Alvaro to meet a woman with dark silver hair who wears a yellow shirt that says Survive
"Hey, look who's coming. You haven't been here in a long time, Luce" greeted the woman a.k.a. Rogue Amendiares, owner of Afterlife.
"Yeah, I'm still the same Lucy. How about you?" Lucy greeted her back.
"So am I. Hmm, who is he? Your new boyfriend?" Rogue asked, looking at Alvaro, whose face was covered by a hood and only his mouth was showing.
"What? N-no, he's... a... umm... uh..." Lucy didn't know what to say.
SRET
Not waiting for Lucy to finish her sentence, Alvaro removed his hood and showed his face to Rogue. The Queen of fixers was immediately shocked to see Alvaro's face, which really resembled David, the Legend of Sandevistan from Santo Domingo.
"Holy nova! Dav-"
"Sssshhhhh..." Alvaro cut off Rogue's words. It made her fall silent.
"David? Is that you? I thought you were dead?" Now Rogue spoke in a low voice.
"No, I'm not David. I'm Alvaro, his twin brother". Rogue was surprised. She didn't know that David had a brother at all.
Alvaro then told everything as he told Lucy. About how he got separated from Gloria and David, how he also had to lose his father, and how he lived life as a soldier at MSC. Now he returns to Night City to live again with his mother and brother, but fate says otherwise.
"This city is getting worse due to the actions of those damn corporates. Besides, I also wanted to kill Adam Smasher with my own hands. Because of them, I lost my mother and brother," said Alvaro.
"Listen son, I understand your feelings. I also felt the same way when my boyfriend left me and got trapped in a biochip. But fighting the corporates and killing Adam Smasher, it's really impossible even if you have experience in the military", Rogue replied.
"There is no impossible in my life. You have no idea how much blood, sweat and tears have poured from my body all this time to become who I am now. Nobody can stop me," said Alvaro firmly. Rogue looked at Lucy to assure if Alvaro still had some logic. Lucy shook her head, she made sure that Alvaro really meant what he said.
"Hahhh, fine. I can only help you with information. To face them you only have two choices." Rogue assembled two shot glasses and filled them with two different colored drinks, red and blue. "First, you can go directly to them and just kill them", she moved the blue shot glass in front of the red shot glass.
"Second, you can do what your brother did. You know? Raise your own name and reputation. That way you will be famous throughout Night City, and that will make them come to you on their own." Rogue moved the red shot glass in front of the blue shot glass.
"Actually, I prefer the first option, but it feels too fast if I just finish it, but..." Alvaro took the blue one and drank it.
"I'll choose the second one. Everyone in this city will witness how Arasaka and the other corporates will end up right before their own eyes."
CRACK
Alvaro gripped the red shot glass so tightly that it shattered into pieces.
"Well, that's been decided. This afternoon, there will be a cargo truck from Arasaka Waterfront to Corpo Plaza. The cargo contains something very valuable if it is sold". Rogue gave Lucy details about the gig via a chip.
"Got it, thank you Rogue," said the cute netrunner.
"Huh, no problem choom. But make sure that your boyfriend's twin stays in his mind. I can't imagine if he becomes a cyberpsycho," Rogue warned her.
"Don't think about me. I'm not like David. I've been trained to control my whole body both physically and mentally. Let's go Lucy, I can't wait to spread terror to those fucking corporates," Alvaro simply walked away.
"Al, wait! Why do you always leave me? Ah, please forgive his behavior, Rogue. I also just met him today. So I don't really know about him" Lucy felt bad for the Afterlife owner.
"Easy there, choom. Relax, he's really different from your boyfriend. Alright then, Delta. Hurry up and catch him before he does something weird out there."

From Afterlife, switch to the Highway connecting Little China in the Watson district to Downtown in the City Center district. The streets look deserted because there will be cargo cars from Arasaka passing by. According to what Rogue had said earlier, the cargo truck from the Arasaka Waterfront was loading something that would be taken to the Arasaka Tower in Corpo Plaza.
"The truck is coming, Al. Get ready," Lucy said from inside a car with a man with a bushy mustache. "Roger that" replied Alvaro, who was currently standing on the bridge truss.
"Hey, this isn't a military mission, you gonk" Lucy giggled.
"Sorry, it became a habit when I was at MSC"
"Whatever" Lucy cut off the communication
.
"I still can't believe that David has a brother. Honestly, I was surprised when he took off his hood and showed his face. He really looks like David. I thought I was dreaming at the time," Falco said.
"Me too. I thought David really came back from the dead. But he didn't. Let me tell you one thing, Falco. Alvaro is totally different from David," Lucy replied.
"Yeah, I'm also curious about his abilities."
.
.
"It's playtime. I got a places to be, a revenge, and bad corporates to kill," Alvaro saw the cargo truck that Lucy was referring to. The truck was guarded by two Arasaka military vehicles from the front and rear.
"Maximum Effort!" Alvaro dropped himself from a height of about 150 ft/46 m.
BRAKK
He made a super hero landing right on top of the cargo truck in the middle. He killed the driver by stabbing Murasama down through the head.
STAB
"What the?! We were attacked-"
STAB
"Shut the fuck up". Alvaro killed the one sitting at the side. The cargo truck slowly slowed down.
BANG
BANG
BANG
The guard car behind the truck tried to shoot Alvaro. But the shot was countered by Murasama.
"My turn. Say hello to my little baby!" Besides Murasama, Alvaro also has other weapons. A double barrel shotgun called DX-12 Punisher.
BANG
BANG
BANG
The 3 shots instantly killed the two people who were driving the guard car.
.
"We were attacked by someone. It's not known whether he is a cyberpsycho or not. He wears a black robe with a hood, and is armed with a katana and a shotgun. We need backup! I repeat, we need backup!" The man in the guard car at the front called for help.
"Alright, time's up. No more phones."
SLASH
Alvaro suddenly appears in the car and instantly kills the two people who were driving it. Finished with the guards, he headed to the truck. But a few minutes later, he heard the sound of sirens from the police. Alvaro with the cargo truck was surrounded from behind.
"Stop right there!"
"Drop your weapons! Get your hands in the air!"
There were 10 police cars surrounding him. Instead of obeying what the police ordered, Alvaro turned to them while taking off his hood and showing his face, then smiled.
