Chapter Two

Togusa stood up. Ishikawa turned his shattered
head, looking down the street.
"Go after them," He said. Togusa nodded,
turned, and ran in the direction the men had come.
The explosions had stopped, the gunfire had stopped.
Looking around, faces looked at him through windows.
Togusa frowned. Something wasn't right. It was way
too quiet.
"You, Police man," Someone said. Togusa turned
and saw a small man, sitting in a pile of trash,
coughing. His stomach was bleeding, blood was
forming a puddle under him. Togusa walked up to him,
placing a Beacon on the ground. He swited it on.
The man frowned.
"Don't worry, The ambulance will be here, who
did this to you?" Togusa asked. The man shook his
head, smiling.
"Two men just desided I was a target or
something like that. Assholes shot me and left me
here to Fucking die. I'f you ask me, this whole place
is fucked to hell."
"Wait, Two men? Which way did they go?" Togusa
asked. The man pointed down a dark alley.
"Down..." The man stopped breathing. Togusa
stood up and glanced down the dark path. He started
walking down, slowly. A footstep above him. Togusa
glanced up, taking out his Mateba. Someone stared
down at him.
"Who are you?" Togusa called. Something clicked.
Togusa stepped back. The man was doing something,
never taking his eyes off Togusa.
"Goodbye." The man said. Togusa fired his gun,
ripping the Man's jaw, straight off. Something by the
man exploded. Flames flew down. Togusa ran, as metal
fell down, destroying everything where Togusa was
standing. Togusa sighed.
"What is going on here?" Togusa asked himself.
"I know." A gun pressed against Togusa's head.
Togusa froze. "I know." Someone repeated. Togusa
blinked.
"What do you know?" Togusa asked.
"I know something you don't. Do you want to
know what I know, but you don't know yet?" Togusa
blinked again. What was that all about, he thought.
This guy must be crazy.
"Yeah, Tell me what you know," Togusa said,
uncertain.
"Alright," The man pressed the gun harder. "I
guess I can tell you."
Togusa spun around, bringing his hand up at
the man's elbow, snapping it. The man's gun went off
and he pushed Togusa back. Togusa's eyes widened.
The man's elbow bent back into place. The man smiled,
and slowly put his fist into the air. His fingers
parted, and his wrist bent back, revealing a small
pipe. His whole arm extended, and cracks showed up.
His skin widened, and a racket of bullets slid out.
The pipe also extended. A Gun. A strong Gun.
Togusa pointed his Mateba and fired, hitting
metal. The man was a Robot.
"Who the fuck are you?" Togusa asked. "And how
the hell did you get this body?"
The man smiled. "The name is Etsuko, and I got
this in the Black Market, of course. Expensive of
course."
"Of course."
"It was suppose to be a secret, but I decided
to play a maniac. The whole, I know something you
don't know thing." Etsuko laughed. Togusa didn't
laugh, he had forgotten his Rifle. Etsuko turned
around and walked down the dark alley way. Togusa
blinked. Togusa shrugged and ran back to Ishikawa.
"Ishikawa!" He yelled. No responce. He kneeled
by Ishikawa. "Ishikawa?" He said. Still no responce.
"Hey!" Someone yelled. Togusa turned his head
towards the voice. Someone pointed a gun at him.
Togusa grabbed the rifle and ran towards cover.
Togusa realized the Gun wasn't pointed at him. A
show rang out and Ishikawa's head exploded. Togusa
looked ot where the shot had come from and shot.
Someone screamed. Togusa got up quickly and ran over
to Ishikawa's broken Shell. His ghost was destroyed.
