That afternoon, Manda took me to the Mad Jack Mega Diner near the entry to the City Center area of Night City. The diner was filled with people enjoying a decent lunch (Or breakfasts as that was offered all day). We both ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and fries (It was her treat) and we both decided to get a glass of orange pop (Fanta) to drink and then I smiled and replied, "That was a really impressive duel, girl. I enjoyed every minute of it."

Maddie smiled as she sipped her her pop and she replied, "It took me a while to make that Rock deck and I"m proud of it. They have stone-cold minds and nothing will stop them as well. My dad loved this deck."

I nodded and replied, "Wait this was your dad's deck?"

She nodded and replied, "When he was a Night City cop, he used this in Turbo Duels and in ground duels as well and then he gave it to me and I took it over and made it better. Exxod was his best card and my favorite card was my Mystical Sand and I love using the cards."

I sighed and replied, "Me to. Nothing came back to me during the last few hours and yesterday."

She looked at her watch and then she replied, "After lunch, want to head to the Night City Hall of Legends & Memories ? It might be intresting. Besides, I need to get some stuff done there as well."

"Sounds like a good plan to me, Manda. Let's check it out after we got our lunch."

She smiled back at me as our waiter brought our lunch plates to them and the food smelled amazing.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Later that night in the famous Megabuilding H10 apartment on the 8th floor in apartment X15, Jackson was looking at his fire deck inside at a large table facing the main area of the Little China district of Night City. He owned a beautiful apartment that had a large TV, bedroom, dining room and a small kitchen. He has on his own for about 4 years now and also loved the apartment as well.

He sighed and replied, "I'm so glad I'm done with that bitch."

He saw both of the decks that had on the table and he replied, "I Like my Dinosaur deck a lot more then that horrid zombie one and I don't want to remember that damn bitch for everythign she put me through, so I'll use the cards and make my Dinosaur deck even better."

She took both decks apart and placed the monsters, spell and trap cards in different piles and he nodded and replied, "Time to get to work."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

After we had our amazing lunch, we both arrived at the Night City Hall of Legends and Memories. It was a 2 floor building that was open 24 hours a day. All this museum-like building had pictures and plaques about the history of Night City's most famous legends and memories. Right now, the girls were on the 2nd floor inside of the main area called the Lost City Memory hall.

Manda nodded and replied, "Look at the picture next to that one."

I saw a nearby plaque and I looked at closely and it said IN LOVING MEMORY OF JACKIE WELLES in the golden plaque below the picture and next to the name one it said BORN: 2050 and next to it said PASSED ON: 2077 and he was a tall and handsome-looking man and I nodded and replied, "What a guy."

Maddie sighed and replied,"I've read about this guy. He really wanted to help out his mother, girlfriend and best friend at the time of his death sadly. He was best friends with the V siblings and more with that Valerie one. She was with him when he was killed that night. His ashes are stored in a memorial sort of place about 3 miles from the main area of the City Center area."

I sighed as well and then resumed, "He only made it to 27 before he died. That's way too young for a guy like him."

"No joke on that one, girl. Look at the picture to the right."

The wonderer nodded and saw a picture of a middle-aged woman hugging Jackie Welles and it said below the picture it said IN LOVING MEMORY OF GUADALUPE ALEJANDRA "MAMA" WELLES and the others said BORN: 2019 and the others said was PASSED ON: 2095 and I saw the date and picture and I replied, "Wow, she seems to be a nice woman."

"Got that right, girl. After Jackie was killed, she went into a bit of depression, but she stayed strong. Before she passed on, she gave her best friend Lucinda her bar. Lucinda has a daughter named Helena and gave part of the building to her. When she was alive, she ran the El Coyote Cojo bar and to this day, Helena and her son Reggie now run it. Lucinda passed on about 2 years ago due to ovarian cancer at the age of 68. The bar is still being run well by her daughter and her son. I read that Lucinda will get a picture and plaque added next to Mama Welles picture sometime this year."

"That's good. Why did you want to tell me about these people?"

"Trying to help again with your memories, my friend. I really want to show you something and for me, this is really personal."

They walked to each other and there was a long hallway with a large brown door with a keycard slot nearby and Manda went into her pocket and slid the card through the slot and it opened up and there was 3 large pictures and the on the far right was first and it looked like a handsome middle-aged man with glasses and she sighed sadly and replied, "Daddy, I'm back with a friend."

The wonderer looked puzzled and then Manda pointed to the plaque below it and it said IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICHAEL NEIL WATSON and the others said BORN: MARCH 21st, 2042 and next to that it said PASSED ON: MARCH 19TH, 2092 and the wonderer then replied, "Is this your father?"

She sadly nodded and then she replied,"What caused his death if you want to share with me."

"I feel okay sharing this with you. He was a well-known Night City Police Patrolman and after defeating this guy name Topz in a duel, he chased after him with his bike and about halfway through the city, that asshole Topz shot at him with a Uzi and while trying to avoid the bullets, he crashed into the side of a nearby building. He died instantly. Topz got away and was never seen in town again. I've been looking for that asshole for 2 years now! I promised myself and my dad that I would arrest him someday."

"I'm so very sorry for your loss, Manda."

"Thank you, girl. The other two were my grandfather Alfred Watson and my grandmother Trisha Watson-Menberg. I miss all of them so much right now. Want to head back to the HQ, girl?"

She nodded as they both left the area and she locked the room up and they both left towards the elevator.

-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-

Around the same time as Manda's duel against Jackson began, Erica was getting some lunch with her best friend and follow co-worker Pat from the same spot the wonderer got dinner the other day. He was there ordering some steak tacos and a Mexican Coke for his lunch and she was getting a couple of shrimp tacos for lunch and a coke as well.

He smiled and replied, "Lunch time and then we can go on duty."

She nodded and replied, "Thanks for letting me come and get some lunch with ya. I had nothing to do and Manda and the new girl were already gone."

He nodded As he continued to play a game on his cellphone, a tall female walked in and she wore a white shirt and blue jean shorts and she had black hair with purple streaks in and she had small rose tattoos on left left leg and she wore glasses and he saw their table and she walked over to there and she smiled and replied, "Hi, Pat."

He looked at her and she sighed and replied, "Hello, Rocki. You here to annoy me again?"

"Not this time. Just getting some tacos with my guy Anthony. Hope your day is a good one."

"Same to you as well, Rocki."

She smiled as she walked away and Shizuki looked at Pat and replied, "What was that about?"

He sighed and replied, "Time to tell me about my past. Me and Rocki were really close friends. When I told her I was entering to be a Freedom Force member, Rocki tried entering as well. For her, It didn't go well. She was wiped out in her first duel and when I dueled, I won my entry duel with no trouble. She thought I was try out do her and I told her not and she took well, but she still wanted to be friends with me."

"THat's good to hear."

He nodded to him and as they both continued to wait, he saw a guy with dark brown hair, a black hat a black shirt and blue jeans running away down the street that was near him and Erica saw him and replied, "What the heck is going on?"

Pat nodded and replied, "Go ahead after him, girl. I'll tell them to hold our lunch for us."

Pat nodded as he took off and walked up to the taco stand and he looked at Fernando and replied, "Can your store our order and keep it warm in a to go box? We'll be back after I go see what the heck is going on with Erica."

The taco cook nodded as he took off and he saw Erica caught up to a guy that was out of breath walking towards him and he replied, "That jerkoff!"

Pat saw him and he replied, "I'm Pat Baker and this is fellow Freedom Enforcer Erica Matthews. What is going on and can I get your name as well, sir?"

"The name is Arnold Miller and that guy running away stole my wallet that had a bank card and two hundred dollars in it!"

"Okay. Want to come with me and catch this guy, Pat?"

"I'd be glad too, girl. Let's go quickly!"

They all started to run off and Arnold smiled evily and replied, "Fools are going to focus on him and not me. This will be a fun to watch."

He ran off and then Rocki noticed them run off as well and she replied, "What the heck is going on?"

She got up and ran off as well.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

At the end of the street, the guy who stole the wallet was waiting for the light to turn green.

He groaned and replied, "Turn, already!"

As he continued to yell at it, Erica and Pat and the other man caught up with him and she replied, "Give it back now, Tony."

he sighed as he tossed the wallet at Pat's feet and inside was everything, including the money and the thief tony groaned and replied, "Great, A World Fighter to deal with now Just my damn luck."

Pat smiled and replied, "Time for me to watch my friend here kick your butt. Erica, do the honors.

She nodded and she looked at Tony and replied, "We have a quick duel right here and now. If you win, I'll let you go and if I win, you're coming downtown with me!"

"Whatver it takes to get you off my damn back already!"

"What's going on?", Rocki's voiced yelled out.

the guys turned to the group and Rocki was waiving at Tony and she replied, "What did he do wrong?"

Pat sighed and she pointed at him and replied,"He stole a wallet and tried to get away with it as well. We stopped him before he had a chance to get away with theft."

Rocki looked back at him and replied, "Why the hell are you doing this, Tony? We both had enough money."

"I don't really care about that and I wanted to get money my own damn way and this was my best idea to do so, Rocki."

"Whatever you say, jerk. I'm through with you."

She looked at Erica and replied, "Take this jerk down, miss. I have you and Pat's backs."

Pat nodded as Erica took a small duel disk she had with her and she pushed a button on it and it enlarged into a normal duel disk with her deck and Extra Deck already in it and then Tony activated his duel disk and both drew 5 cards.

"Game on!", both yelled out.

(Tony LP: 8000) - (Erica LP: 8000)

Shizuki then replied, "I'll start this duel with a facedown monster and that'll end my turn now."

Tony drew a card and replied, "I have a better card. I summon my Armageddon Knight."

He played the card and the dark knight appeared (ATK: 1,400).

"I'll ditch a Dark monster."

She did so and resumed, "I attack your facedown monster."

He went in and a Silver Fang appeared on the card (DEF: 600) and the knight slashed at the Beast and it howled in pain before it shattered to pieces.

"I see what I'm up against. I end my turn now."

Erica drew a new card and resumed, "I summon my Pitch-Black Warwolf."

She played and the dark-skinned werwolf appeared (ATK: 1,600).

"Attack her monster."

It charged and slashed at the knight and the knigh let out a weakened grunt before collapsing and then shattering moments later (Tony LP: 8000 - 7800).

"That's all I can do for now."

He drew a card and resumed, "I'll set a monster and a card for later and that's all I Can do right now."

Erica drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Desmanian Devil."

She played a card and small black-skinned beast appeared (ATK: 1,700).

She played the card and the dark armored knight appeared (ATK; 1,200).

"When my monster destroys a monster in battle, I can add a Level 4 or lower Beast monster from my deck."

She quickly grabbed a card and resumed, "Warwolf, attack."

The knight went and slashed at the knight and it made no noise and fell backwards, shattering as he struck the ground (Tony LP: 7800 - 7400) and he replied, "I Special Summon my Rare Metal Dragon."

She played the card and the metal-hided dragon appeared (ATK: 2,400) and she sighed and resumed, "I choose my Hyena.

The small canine-like creature appeared (DEF: 300).

"I have nothing else I can do this turn."

He drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Dark Soul Linker."

He played the card and a strange Fiend that looked like a small demonic-like skull with small black tendrils coming out of it appeared (ATK; 100).

"I equip my dragon with this strange one."

The skull glowed and it flew and it took a tendril and dug it into the side of it and the dragon let out a annoyed growl.

"When the equipped monster destroys a monster in battle, you take 300 damage. I Attack your Warwolf."

The dragon growled and opened its mouth as a burst of pure darkness shot out and slammed into her Beast-Warrior and it let out a low snarl before it shattered to pieces (Erica LP: 8000 - 7400) and a smaller burst of energy shot out and slammed into her (Erica LP: 7400 - 7100).

"Your turn, miss."

She drew a card and resumed, "I'll switch my Devil to defense and that's all I can do right now."

He drew a new card and resumed, "I summon my Dark Blade."

He played the card and the dark armored knight appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Lets do this. Dark Blade, attack her Desmanian Devil."

It went and slashed with his sword and the beast let a weakened roar before it slowly slid apart. The pieces shattered to little bits.

"Rare Metal Dragon attacks now."

The dragon let out a growl as a burst of energy shot out and vaporized her small canine and then two more appeared (ATK: 1,000 x2) and another burst struck her down (Erica LP: 7100 - 6800).

"Your move now, lady."

She drew a card and resumed, "I summon my White Fox."

She played the card and a cute small Fox appeared (ATK: 800).

"I tune my Fox with a one of my Hyenas."

The small fox glowed as it split into 2 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through one of the other beasts, which turned into 3 white stars (*3 + *2 = *5).

"A mighty beast of the storm appears during a fierce thunder storm! This creature defends the forests of the world with her mighty power of thunder! Synchro Summon! Appear in the storn, Thunder Unicorn!"

She played and the beautiful Unicorn appeared (ATK: 2,200) and Pat nodded and replied, "One of her favorite cards."

"Since I used White Fox in a Synchro Summon, one of your Spell or Traps is destroyed."

The small creature appeared and a bolt of energy shot out and smashed the equipped monster apart and then she opened her field slot and resumed, "I activate my Forest Field Spell."

She played the card and the beautiful forest formed around the field (ATK: 2,200 - 2,400).

"I use my Unicorn's effect on your Dragon."

Bolts fo electricity shot out and struck the hide of the mighty creature (ATK: 2,400 - 1,400).

"Destroy his Dragon."

The mighty quickly charged and rammed its horn into the dragon and its hide cracked before it collapsed to the ground and burst into small black fragments (Tony LP: 7800 - 6800).

"Your turn now."

Tony drew a card and he nodded and resumed, "I'll switch my Dark Blade to Defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and then I'll set a card and that's my turn now."

She drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Gazelle The King of Mythical Beasts."

She played the card and the beast used by the King of Games appeared (ATK: 1,500 - 1,700) and Rocki looked at Pat and replied, "What deck is she even using, Pat?"

"She loves all sorts of Beast and Beast Warrior monsters that go well with her field spells."

"Gazelle, attack."

It went and slashed at the Knight with its mighty claw, blowing it to shards.

"Unicorn, attack."

It charged in and a 2nd Mystic Tomato appeared on the card (DEF: 1,100) and it stabbed and it let out a strange squealing noise before it shattered into small red shards and Tony nodded and resumed, "I Special Summon my Dark Archetype."

She played the card and a strange creature made of various fiendish creatures stiched together appeared (ATK; 1,400).

"Okay then. I end my turn now."

Tony drew a card and resumed, "I attack your Thunder Unicorn."

The strange creature began to glow and then Rocki looked puzzled and replied, "What the hell is he doing? It's much weaker then her Synchro!"

"I know that and I chain his attack with my Dark Blight."

The trap appeared and both monsters glowed (ATK: 2,400 - 3,200) -(ATK: 1,400 - 600) and then her Synchro glowed as a burst of electricity shot out and struck the strange creature before it burst into dark shards of pure energy that dissolved as they struck the ground (Tony LP: 6800 - 4200) and then he resumed, "I now use my Dark Archetype's effect and Special Summon a monster equal to the damage I took and that will be my Zoa!"

He played the card and a huge blue demon appeared (ATK: 2,600) and then he smiled and resumed, "Now my new monster gains ATK equal to half of the damage I took until the End Phase of the turn!"

The demon glowed with evil energy (ATK: 2,600 - 3,900) and then he smiled evily and replied, "I attack your Unicorn!"

The demon glowed two bolts of fiery energy shot out and slammed into the Synchro and blasted it to little pieces (Erica LP: 6800 - 5300) and then he resumed, "I finish by activating my Sebek's Blessing."

The spell appeared and he glowed with relaxing energy (Tony LP: 4200 - 5500) and Rocki sighed and resumed, "Is this deck all about summoning Dark Monsters one after another? I'm still really confused about this deck."

Pat sighed and resumed, "I'm still confused about this deck as well, Rocki. You never seen this deck?"

She sighed and resumed, "Not once in a duel. He actually used a Warrior deck and I'm guessing that deck was used until he got the cards he needed for it."

Tony looked at her and resumed, "Your too smart of a woman, Rocki. I kept this a secret until I was ready to show it off. Your move, lady."

She drew a card and resumed, "I'll switch my Gazelle to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and that's all I can really do right now."

Tony drew a new card and resumed, "I activate my Allure of Darkness."

The spell appeared and he drew 2 cards and took a monster called Mystic Potato and banished it and resumed, "I summon my Dark Valkyria."

She played and Dunamis Dark Witch's evil counterpart appeared with a sinister smile (ATK: 1,800).

"Zoa, attack!"

The eyes of the giant glowed as two bursts of fiery light shot out and struck, blowing Gazelle to pieces.

"Valkyrias up next."

The eyes of the evil Fairy glowed as a ball of shaadoy energy shot out and a large dog appeared on the card (DEF: 800) and the attack blew it to shards and Erica resumed, "When a Assault Dog goes down in battle, I can get two more from my deck."

She did so and two more of the hounds appeared (ATK: 1,200 x2).

"I see. I'll set a card and that's all for my turn now."

Erica drew a new card and resumed, "I activate my Spellbook Inside the Pot."

"I'll use her effect to remove a Xyz Material monster and drain your monster of attack power equal to its level times 200."

She discarded Flame Tiger's card and ditched it and it Zoa let out a low moan (ATK: 2,600 - 1,200).

"Next, I play Double Summon to summ the last card in my hand and that's my Sunlight Unicorn."

She played the card and a beautiful unicorn of light appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Let's check the top card."

She did and it was a Lucky Iron Axe and she grabbed the card and equipped it with her Sunlight Unicorn (ATK: 1,800 -2,300).

"I attack your Zoa first."

The Xyz charged in and rammed its horn into the chest of the horrid demon and it let out a snarling growl before it exploded into black shards.

He played the card and a dark-robed witch appeared (ATK: 1,500) and Erica nodded and resumed, "I choose my Soul Tiger."

She played the card and a beautiful tiger made of shadows appeared and knelt (DEF: 2,100 - 2,300) - (ATK: 2,500 - 2,300) - (DEF: 2,300 - 2,100).

"Your turn now, sir."

He drew a card and resumed, "I use my Mystical Space Typhoon."

The storm began and the forest was ripped apart.

"I now use her effect and tribute her for a couple of Dark Beast Tokens."

She vanished and two shadowy beasts appeared (DEF: 500 x2).

"I tribute them both for my Dark Horus."

The tokens faded away into pixels and the dark counterpart of Horus the Black Flame Dragon Level 8 appeared (ATK: 3,000).

"Strike that thing down with your Dark Flames."

The dragon let out a burst of black flames and they struck, reducing her Xyz to fiery cinders (Erica LP: 5800 - 5300).

"Your move, lady."

She drew a card and resumed, "I'll switch my Unicorn to defense and 1 car facedown and then that'll be all for me."

He drew a card and resumed, "I activate Shield Crush."

"Since you have only Defense Monsters, I Can attack you directly."

The demon went and slashed at her (Erica LP: 5300 - 3900).

"Horus, attack!"

The dragon let out a stream of black flames and they shot and struck, burning the Unicorn to ashes.

"Your move now."

Erica drew a card and resumed, "I flip my facedown monster up."

She did so and her Morphing Jar appeared (ATK: 700) and she discarded a card and he discarded one as well and then both drew 5 cards and resumed, "I'll banish a Spell Card to Special Summon my Monoceros."

She banished a card and then a horse with a very long horse appeared (ATK: 1,000).

"I summon my Key Mouse."

She played the card and a adorable mouse with a key at the end of its tail appeared (ATK: 100).

"I tune my monsters together."

The small mouse let out a small and rather cute squeak as it split into a single star, which turned into a single that turned into green rings and the rings went through Morphing Jar and Monceros, which turned into a total of 5 white stars (*1 + *2 + *3 = *6).

"A werwolf from the deepest of the underworld appears with a mighty howl that scares its enemies to the core! Synchro Summon! Appear from the darkness, Celestial Wolf Lord, Blue Sirius!"

She played the card and a 3-headed werwolf appeared with a mighty roar (ATK: 2,400) and Rocki saw the monster and resumed, "That is a really cool-looking monster."

"Due to Monoceros's effect, I get back my Mouse."

The small mouse appeared and knelt (DEF: 100).

"Next, I'll activate my Double Summon to summon my Lock Cat."

She played the card and a beautiful and fluffy cat with a golden lock around its neck appeared (ATK: 1,200) and he pointed to his Dragon as his Rare Metal Dragon appeared (ATK: 2,400).

She played the card and a creature that looked a large goat-like creature many fluffy tails appeared (ATK: 1,800) and Rocki looked at the new Synchro and replied, "Is that a Ancient one of the Deep Forest?"

Pat nodded and resumed, "It sure is. I wonder what this thing can do."

"I use her effect and got a Forest Field Spell Card from my graveyard."

The spell appeared and she shoved into her field slot and the beautiful forest formed all over yet again (ATK: 2,400 - 2,600) -(ATK: 1,800 - 2,000).

"Lets do this. Sirius, attack his Dark Horus."

The creature let out a fiece howling noise and the dragon countered with a huge blast of black flames that shot out and blew it to fiery cinders (Erica LP: 3900 - 3500) and Rocki looked puzzled and replied, "Why do that?"

Pat smiled and replied, "When Blue Sirius is destroyed, the monster that destroyed it loses 2,400 attack points."

The dragon let out a annoyed and weakened growl (ATK: 3,000 - 600).

"Finish the job, my beast."

The beast glowed as a burst of fiery jolts of energy shot out and from the Beast and struck the giant Dragon and it roared in pain before it exploded in a fiery shower of ash & black smoke (Tony LP: 3700 - 2300) and its tails began to glow (ATK: 2,000 - 2,100) and then a 2nd bolt of energy struck him (Tony LP: 2300 - 2000) and Erica resumed, "When it destroys a monster, you take 300 damage and my monster gains 100 attack and defense points. I end my turn now."

Tony drew a card and replied, "I'll switch my Fairy to defense and then I'll tribute my Fiend for my Dark General Freed."

The Shadowslayer faded away into pixels as a dark form of the famous Freed the Matchless General appeared with black skin, sharp clawed hands and dark-metaled sword appeared (ATK: 2,300).

It quickly charged in and Erica smiled and replied, "I use the effect of my Primal Portal I banished to summon my Monoceros. If a Beast monster is targeted and this card is banished, I can return it to the bottom of my deck and give my Beast a boost before your attack hits."

She slid the card beneath her deck and her Synchro glowed (ATK: 2,100 - 3,100) as the Beast charged and rammed into the evil general and he moaned and burst into black globules that dissolved as they struck the ground (Tony LP: 2000 - 1200) and a bolt of fiery energy shot and struck him (Tony LP: 1200 - 900) and then it glowed (ATK: 3,100 - 2,200).

"Damn it! I'll end my turn right there."

She drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Enraged Battle Ox."

She played the card and the angeried minotaur appeared (ATK: 1,700 - 1,900) and Pat smiled and replied, "If his facedown monster is weak, this duel is over for that guy."

"Lets if this will finish you off. Deep Watcher, attack."

The mighty beast went in and a Spirit Reaper appeared on the card (DEF: 200) and the SYnchro rammed into it and the force of the attack slammed into him (Tony LP: 900 - 0) and Rocki smiled and replied, "What a way to end a duel."

"If I knew you were going to lose this bad, I would of never made this dumb plan with you, fucker!", Arnold's voice yelled from the crowd.

They all looked towards the crowd and the guy that was roobbed walked through the crowd and Pat then replied, "What the heck do you even mean by that?"

Arnold smiled and replied,"I paid Tony to activate like this towards you and your Freedom Forcer friend, fool. I was going to use the money to help me get some new electronics."

Tony looked at him and replied, "I knew I couldn't trust you. Thanks for bringing me and my new ex-girlfriend in this as well, Arnold! You leave us the hell alone now!"

He smiled and replied, "You're a fool for wanting my help anyway."

He went into his pocket and he took a small gun and Erica looked at him and replied, "Drop the weapon, pal. You're making a horrid mistake."

"I did so and I'm going to solve it."

He fired two shots and they struck Pat and Rocki in the shoulders and they both fell to the ground with blood dripping falling from their wounds and Rocki groaned and replied, "Damn, that hurts."

Tony sighed and replied, "This was your lowest idea ever, Arnold."

He smiled evily and replied, "Have fun in prison, loser."

He threw the gun at the floor and he quickly ran off and Erica went to Pat and she replied, "We'll get you guys some help."

He looked back at Tony and replied, "If you help us with this, you'll got total thanks for your help."

He nodded and resumed, "It's the least I can do to help out with what happened with me. I didn't mean for things to go THIS bad."

"I understand that fully, Tony."

Suddenly, two members of the NCPD (Night City Police Department) ran in from the area of the Taco Stand area and of them had Arnold handcuffed and Erica smiled and replied, "Officers Fenton and Sheldon will take care of him, Pat."

The that held onto Arnold (Fenton) looked at him and replied, "We'll take this creep away and Sheldon will help you got help for your friends, Erica."

He nodded as Fenton dragged the captured thief away.
