After many battles, Jayden found himself on a crystalline island floating in the middle of a blue void. He still wore his glasses and glove.
"ARI comment," he announced to the glasses. "I've fought my way through several perpetrators, not all of them human. As the case file suggested, many used outlandish weapons and power of unknown origins. My investigation has led me here."
He turned around a pillar to see a man in a grey coat examining a crystalline pillar.
Jayden drew his gun and aimed it at the stranger.
"Freeze!" He ordered. "Put your hands where I can see them, and turn around, slowly."
The stranger did as he was told. He raised his hands in surrender and turned around. Jayden could see he was wearing a mask, though it looked like a normal face. What was he hiding under that mask? Jayden also noted the guns strapped to his wrists.
"Well, hey there," The stranger said nonchalantly. "What can I do for ya?"
With one hand, Jayden kept holding his gun at the ready. With his other hand, he whipped out his badge for the stranger to see.
"FBI Agent Norman Jayden," he said. "This area is under FBI investigation. I'd like to ask you some questions."
"Well go ahead, shoot," the stranger said. "I mean with the questions. Not the gun."
"Who are you?" Jayden asked, slipping his badge back into his coat pocket and putting both hands on his gun again.
"Name's Jack. Handsome Jack."
"Well alright, Jack. What is this place?
"I'm not entirely sure myself, but I'm pretty sure it's a vault. I know one thing though. It's my property now."
"Well this property is causing a lot of mayhem and trouble for a lot of people. If it's your property, you have a lot to answer for. This area is a crime scene, and I'm securing it for FBI investigation."
"Okay, okay, hold up," Jack persisted. "Look, I'm stinkin' rich. How much for you to turn a blind eye and get out of here?"
"I ain't that kind of cop, pal," Jayden replied in a disgusted tone. "I'm taking you down to the station for questioning! You gonna come quietly? Or resist arrest?"
"Hmm, yeah," Jack chuckled mockingly, letting his hands fall. "Totally going with 'resist.'" He aimed the two blasters on his wrists at Jayden.
