One year after the launch of the Toppat Orbital station
General Hubert Galeforce throws the file on the table. "According to the sworn affidavit you provided for us, was this the man that wronged you?"
"Yeah, that's him alright." Desmond pointed at the photo of the man who I once declared to be my sworn enemy.
...Henry Stickmin.
It has been a long time since he had wronged me by stealing every valuable that I had in my place. I was a bombshell on the magazine and tabloid covers in all parts of the world like a celebrity.
But then one day, the Toppats took all that away from me.
I was left with no home, no food, no water, nothing. I was stuck living on low wages while living on the streets. Unhappy with the poverty surrounding me as the evil that came to me snatched everything that I once cherished.
It was payback time.
I will destroy the Toppat Clan and end their reign of terror.
First Person P.O.V
Hours Later
I was in a spacecraft provided by the government, speeding my way over to the Toppat station at full throttle. My blood was boiling once I had laid eyes on the Toppat station, set to destroy it no matter the cost. I activate the cloak on the spacecraft and make my way onboard the station, making sure no Toppat has seen.
Once the spacecraft boarded the orbital station, I carve a hole clockwise and made my way inside. I notice a Toppat sipping on tea curiously, but I swing kicked that sucker to the wall. Knocking him out cold once he passed out. All that combat training the government provided me just so I can get my revenge was hard work.
Now to sabotage this stupid place and find Henry once and for all.
But the mission won't be easy. It's a lot more dangerous than I expect. According to the dossier, there are a few figures I have to be aware of.
First was Reginald Copperbottom, former leader of the Toppats that gave his leadership to Henry after he betrayed the government at the airship.
Second was Right-Hand Man, he's more dangerous and volatile. Said he got cyborg implants from a freelance Russian scientist named Dr. Vinschpinsilstien.
Third, was a new suspect that escaped The Wall. The "Right Hand Lady", Ellie Rose. I heard she's got some skill almost equal to Henry, according to intelligence.
Last but not least, is the man I'm after. Henry Stickmin, I will make sure that he along with every other Toppat will burn to the ground.
The Toppat has security cameras that could be around the hallways. So I had to make my way into a surveillance room quietly and not get found, otherwise, there was a chance that the Toppats patrolling would see me and I'm a goner.
I quickly wore the Toppat's member's disguises and snatched an ID card as I walk through the hallways. I make my way to the surveillance room to disable whatever security the orbital station might carry. Making sure I leave no stone unturned.
As I walk through several Toppats through Orion Lounge, I make sure nobody around was looking at me with suspicion. It pains me in agitation seeing these backstabbing weasels having a good time, well... That's where I come in. To end it.
Once I enter the CCTV room, a Toppat turns around and looks with a raised eyebrow. "Hey, what are you doing here? You should be enjoying our year-launch celebration like the rest of-"
I quickly knock him out cold and threw him aside near a wall violently. Now with that out of the way, I start hacking the console to shut off any surveillance footage and security protocols. Now that's out of the way, I exit the surveillance room and manage to make my way toward the Engine room.
Once I get there, I see more Toppats guarding the area after being briefed by Ellie. Once she was gone, I quickly swooped in and knocked the suckers out cold. And the other one before he can raise any alarms of an incoming intruder.
Now that the dust was settled, I slowly plant a chip provided by the government onto the engine and let it work its way in. It was a success, however, I realized it was creating effects that I didn't expect. Lights were flickering on and off, confusion brewing in the air, and I realized the Toppats were racing their way to investigate. I quickly hid behind a power generator.
Meanwhile
"Uh, hey sir." Burt Curtis was on the intercom to Henry. "We have a problem going in the engine room. Our power systems are hardily functioning... Lights are going on and off, we don't know what's going on."
Right-Hand Man stood up and cracks his fists. "These people just won't give up, huh?" He looks at Ellie as she was loading her weapon. "Come on, let's go smoke out our little intruder."
Henry wishes them good luck as he continues watching the view of Earth.
"Don't worry." Right-Hand Man grins as he leaves with the Toppats and Ellie. "Let's exterminate this pest off our station."
"You got it." Ellie nods. Walking away with the rest of her squad.
Returning to Desmond
I was hiding as more Toppats receive word on this Spy, I had to be careful or else my cover will be blown. I knew my job was risky, but I wanted payback to Henry Stickmin and nothing more.
Seeing the coast was clear, I continue to make my way toward the core. From there, I hope I can plant a bomb and detonate it so that the Toppats can lose the station in its entirety. As I march forward, I see several Toppats blocking my access which gave me enough suspicion as it is.
"Hey, have I seen you here before?" The Toppat grunt asks me.
"Oh, I'm just looking for the intruder." I reply, making sure my voice doesn't feel off.
"Is that so?" The Toppat grunt raises an eyebrow. "You know, you don't seem familiar with this place. Have we met before?"
"Sure did, maybe back at the bar someplace else. But you don't need to worry, it's all good from here." I chuckle, pretending to mind my own business.
"Okay, but I got my eye on you." The Toppat walks away and then I continue to speed past. The Toppat grunt that spoke to me turned around, and I was gone.
Once I was in the core, I see my chance to plant the explosions carefully as the Toppats search for the spy. I was being frantic about this, but I wanted my revenge done and that's that. I continue putting one explosive device to the next, making sure I got the detonation ready for the homing run.
"HEY!" I turn around and see the Right-Hand Man glaring at me with a stern glare, he fires a laser shot from his right cybernetic eye. Forcing me to take cover as he flew his way at me rapidly, trying to tackle me. I fire several shots, but he quickly dodges and pins me on the ground.
"You made a big mistake to mess with us." Right-Hand Man gives me a sadistic glare as he tries to choke me to death, but I wasn't going to give this scumbag a run for his money. I did have another chip the government provided me to sabotage the engine should the first one fail, I quickly use the spare to attack Right-Hand Man.
"W..What in the..." Right-Hand Man began to notice something wrong behind with his cybernetics, they all began to malfunction. He starts to let go of me and starts using his attacks to fire at the incoming Toppats that rush to his aid.
Without hesitation, I pull the detonation switch and C4 explodes, destroying the core. A huge alarm was sounded and the orbital station began to rumble.
Meanwhile
Henry was enjoying a nice mug of tea when the rumble at his feet made him drop it, breaking his mug and spilling its hot liquid on the floor.
Warning! Breach in the Core detected. All members please evacuate.
"Uh, hey sir." Burt through the intercom radios Henry. "We got some disturbing news, the core has been destroyed. And the chances of repair are slim to none."
Henry started to get really mad, clenching his fists and teeth. He races out and decides to confront this intruder.
Meanwhile, Ellie who was searching for the intruder reunites with Henry. "Glad you came, the Toppat Station is about to be destroyed and we don't know where this roach is!"
Suddenly, Henry hears a voice in the intercom. "H..Henry, come quick!" It was Reginald who was taken hostage. "This man is going to kill me! And he says that if Henry doesn't show up, he'll kill me!"
Henry nods, asking Ellie and the rest of her squad to follow Henry as they make their way towards the room where Reginald was being held.
Returning to Desmond
Both Henry Stickmin and Right Hand Lady enter the room pointing their guns at me, but I stare at them unimpressed. Instead, my eyes were focused on Henry, the one who wronged me by stealing everything I prospered. Henry looks, only to gasp to see Reginald on the floor dead. I made sure he wasn't coming back up. Period.
"Hmph, Henry Stickmin in the flesh." I relax my hands behind my head. "Thought I figured you show up after what you Toppats did to me."
Me and Henry stare at each other eye-to-eye. "After all the raids you've done, I won't show an inch of mercy to you." I quickly sprang a bulletproof shield and blocked the Toppat's incoming fire at me. Then I throw a grenade directly at the Toppat's feet, blowing up and sending them flying.
Ellie suddenly sprung behind me and starts to strangle me, Henry charges at me with a sledgehammer. It struck me, causing a great deal of pain. Henry grins and tries to do it again, but this time, I back punch Ellie in the face and jump up. Henry came crashing onto Ellie and pins her directly on a wall.
"A..Ah... OW!" Ellie screeches in pain, Henry tries to help her but realizes the wound on her body was bad and expanding. The pain was so severe that Ellie herself was not able to get back on her feet, she passes out.
"How does it feel to lose everything, scum!" I grit my teeth as I try to attack Henry with the sledgehammer, only for him to block me with a Legend of Zelda master shield. Then he swats them both away from me, and we both wrestle to each other until an explosion rumbles beneath our feet. We found ourselves hitting a wall violently, I stood up realizing the orbital station was going to blow up.
But my revenge wasn't complete. I try to stomp Henry, but instead, he tackles me out of the room and back into the hallway. The gravity around the orbital station made us float as we were both punching each other in the face. Blood came out of my nose, and I sniff. "Not bad. But not good enough!" I yell. I quickly kick Henry directly in the crotch and grab him by the throat, sending him flying away to where the explosions were happening.
"Adios, amigos! Good riddance..." I flew away to the room where the Escape pods are until I look back and my eyes widen... Henry still holds onto my left leg, gritting my teeth, I try to kick him violently to shake him off of me. But instead of getting off, he quickly climbs his way up on me and starts using his knuckles to punch me left and right. He was mad, if not in rage that I took everything away from him. Just one man against a whole army of Toppats.
I spat on Henry's face with blood and my teeth splashing all over his face, then I grab his chest and violently bashed him near a wall. "That's what you get... FOR RUINING MY LIFE!" I scream at him. I start to punch Henry multiple times on him, getting bruises and beat marks on his face. Making sure that I won't stop until he's down.
Henry, looking at me who was badly hurt and beaten, gives me an angry stare. He pulls a jetpack that I didn't notice, and upon seeing it, he activates it sending us both flying away.
I slowly regain consciousness, and then I had to fly my way through the gravitational force as the orbital station was exploding. I can see many Toppats making a break for it. Once I found a vacant pod, I quickly hopped my way inside and fasten my seatbelts. I press a few buttons and I was heading back home to Earth.
I panted in pain, blood, and sweat. But the mission was over. Henry Stickmin is dead. The Toppat Clan was destroyed and is no longer a threat to all governments of the world anymore.
I finally got my revenge.
I make one promise in my mind pridefully. "Don't worry." I held a photo of my deceased family, smiling widely. "I'm coming home."
Back in Space
Waking up from unconsciousness, Henry sees the orbital station that he earned as the Toppat leader completely ruined. He began to slowly cry once hypothermia began to set in. He lost everything that he held dear to him, just like that. The Toppats were all gone as lifeless bodies in space and so was Henry, who saw how one man can take a fortune away from him in a blink of an eye.
Henry was coughing, the vacuum of space was unbearable and he couldn't figure out a safe way to return to Earth. Not only that, the suffocation building was burdening his body, holding onto his neck to keep whatever remaining oxygen he had left.
His vision slowly blurs and he coughs out whatever carbon dioxide is left in him. The unbearable coldness seeping into him was too much to administer. Henry's body starts to numb and get paralyzed, he now has no control over himself anymore.
Henry exits one final tear from his eye and passes out as just another floating body in space.
Revenge Complete
