Turbinski flew non-stop through the pouring rain. He had been flying for at least eight hours already, the screams of the scientists echoing in his mind. He had killed them one by one, ignoring their pleas for mercy. His Chojin strength allowed him to kill them easily by snapping their necks, sometimes tearing their heads completely off their shoulders as he did. It had been a massacre. Turbinski had then collected his armour and a few measly possessions and left. But not before burning the entire labrotory down to the ground. It had given him a certain satisfaction to see the whole thing burn. He was finally free. Free of the lab, free of Adrik and the scientists - free of restrictions. A dull ache in his heart reminded him of the mother he had lost. Before destroying the lab, he had cremated Vera's body and sealed her ashes in a small box which was currently in the bag with the rest of his possessions. Tears burned Turbinski's eyes as he flew. His Vera was gone forever. As his sadness grew, so did his anger and want for revenge.
The reason Vera was killed because she was seen as a weakness. Turbinski would not have seemed weak if Kevin Mask hadn't have beaten him so brutally in the Chojin Crown semifinals. Kevin hadn't just beaten him - he had trashed the Russian. There was no way he could have fought Kevin after the Big Ben Bash, yet he had still gone and used that OLAP. And then, if that wasn't enough, he had hurled the powerless comrade over the Sky Cube Ring! Rage flooded Turbinski's veins. It was all Kevin's fault! He had to pay. That android too. Turbinski was designed to be better then any human or robot. He should have won! An angered cry tore itself from the Russian's throat and in response he flew faster over the sea. The moon's rays glinted off the comrade's body as memories of Vera flooded his mind...

"Mama?"
"Yes Turbie?"
"I heard some of the scientists talking about something called 'copulation'. And they were giggling about it. What does it mean?"
Vera choked on her coffee, looking down at Turbinski and the wide curious look in his eyes. She coughed slightly, "...I'll tell you when you're older."

"Turbie, wanna watch some videos?"
Turbinski didn't look up from his bed, "I've seen them all, at least a hundred times."
A chuckle from Vera made him look up. The Russian woman pulled out two videos from her coat pocket, "I smuggled them in from outside." Turbinski was speechless. He sat up on his bed, looking at the videos. They were both Disney titles, Aladdin and The Lion King. "Just don't tell Adrik, deal?"
Turbinski nodded, smiling, "Okay!"

"So you're off to the Chojin Crown huh?" Turbinski turned around, his eyes brightening, "Hello mama Vera." Vera smiled, she was shorter then her surrogate son now. Turbinski held her around the shoulders, hugging her gently. Vera patted his back, "Just be caredul, alright Turbie?"
"I will mama, I promise."

Tears spilled from Turbinski's eyes. He was now flying over land, he had finally arrived in Japan. The pain he felt in his heart was unbearable and he went in for a clumsy landing, almost crashing into a tree. As he sat beside the tree, the dam in his hearty broke and he burst into tears, screaming Vera's name. The Russian crawled into the fetal position and cried, sobs of anguish and loss escaping him.
What was he supposed to do now? He wasn't strong enough to defeat Kevin Mask. In despair, he pulled away the armour covering his right arm and tore into the flesh using the armour plate. The physical pain blocked out the emotional anguish he felt and watching his blood drop to the ground was strangely satisfying. He pulled himself up using the tree to lean on and walked throught the forests, calmly.
He finally knew where he was going.
