Chapter 9 - chapter 9. Cyberpunk part1

[Starting from where we left off]

The entire room glowed and Jack disappeared from it entirely. And in the next second he was standing on top of a giant tower with a three-pronged, circular emblem resembling a tree. Looking out over the tower, Jack saw saw an amazing display of lights, a city of night.

Jack soon sat down and began to ponder 'Okay, what do I do now? I can just hang out, kill and destroy, or save and help people. Decisions, decisions...' Jack sat there for a long time before he concluded he'd wing it, and do whatever he wanted.

Jack stood up and walked to the edge before jumping off of it while deploying his wings, that being four giant bat wings. Each wing was 4 feet long, and 5 feet tall, completely black and coated lightly with black fur. Jack flew over night city surveying the area he was in. He knows little about cyberpunk as he'd only ever played the game up until Jackie died, he then promptly uninstalled, and cursed the developers of the game for killing, in his own words, 'besto friendo!'.

He was going in blind but knew he could take anything this world could throw at him. He heard a cry, and looking down below a woman about to be assaulted, so thinking about doing his one good deed of the day... Shot a mana bullet into the guys head causing it to explode. Which only caused the woman to scream more as she ran, but Jack was laughing watching her run, and stumble into everything.

jack wiped away an imaginary tear, and continued flying, eventually seeing a large carrier that he remembered as a trauma team carrier. He flew over and landed on the top of it, hitching a ride, and folding his wings back. He just let the carrier carry him around from place to place, putting each area to memory.

Eventually however he got bored, and seeing as they had just dropped of who they were carrying and were heading back out, he wanted to do a bit of trolling. So getting to a high place he took out Jackal, and waited for a minute before seeing the carrier lift off. So aiming Jackal at the carrier, Jack fired, and blew a 3 foot hole into the carrier. The power from the shot destabilized the carrier, and caused it to fall and crash in a large explosion.

Jack got a bit of experience, finally hitting level 16. Jack grinned watching the carrier burn up in flames, people on the sidewalk panicking. He cackled madly, and flew off to cause more chaos somewhere else.

[A few hours later]

Screens all across Night city were broadcasting a horrifying sight. Dead bodies everywhere, blood painting the streets red, vehicles having exploded. And in all of this a singular figure could be seen, and despite their extraordinary appearance, that wasn't what they all focused on, that was reserved for his wings, and eyes which were on full display.

He had a gun in hand, and was shooting everyone, and anything, all while he was laughing like a maniac enjoying his slaughter. It had been going on for 3 hours so far, and not once has he stopped, nor has he slowed down. The night city police force couldn't stop him, neither could Max-Tac. There had been a few attempts at broadcasting it with commentary live, but that ended very poorly with the reporter, and cameraman both being shot down immediately.

Eventually the figure started using these red and black orbs that caused untold destruction. Formed large crystal structures that killed, and destroyed buildings. A blue fire that not even the best heat resistant equipment could stop. It was a nonstop massacre that eventually earned the figure the title 'Monster,' 'Destroyer,' and most common 'Devil.'

Jack himself had lost count of his kills, he was far too thrilled with his level progress, along with Jackals. He'd already hit level 22, these cybernetic enhanced people were giving him a decent amount of xp for how little effort he put in. Jackal was doing amazing too as it seemed its 'xp' was instead a kill count that doubled after each goal was met. Jackals current level is 13, meaning he needed a total of 130 kills to reach the new goal.

Jack was getting tired of using Jackal though, as fun as it is, he wants to truly unleash destruction. 'Guess it's time to try out some true destruction' Jack grinned, and put his hands parallel of each other as he channeled mana in between his palms. A dense, unstable black and red energy coalesced into an orb that gave off a sinister light. Jack looked towards a large building, and fired the orb that is around the size of a baseball, towards the middle of the building.

And the result was a massive crater forming as over half the entirety of the building was reduced to nothing, which then caused the rest of the top of the building to crash down into the lower half, turning what was a large building into ruins. Everyone around the building that were still around screamed, and ran as fast as possible. Jack grinned, and charged up another dozen orbs around himself, ready to be launched at will.

[A few more hours later]

Jack was seen yawning as he lounged on a large sofa, a large screen in front of him that was playing the news. Off to the side is an expensive looking glass of wine, he has a pack of cigarettes on the table in front of him alongside a expensive looking lighter that had the flame shoot out of a dragons mouth. A female robot off to the side watching him relax.

[Small flashback because I can :)]

Jack had grown bored of the nonstop killing, and decided to rest in a hotel in a place called konpeki plaza, which is where he is now. He walked in through the front door, right past everyone who did the smart thing, and left him alone. He then destroyed the elevator shaft, and flew up into the penthouse. He found three men, and what looked like a female robot?

A man dressed in a suit came over to remove him, but was reduced to nothing as Jack used destruction magic. The female robot looked at Jack silently, and did nothing to stop him as he walked further inside. The other two men looked at Jack, with the younger one looking annoyed, and ready to remove Jack from the complex. But the older man stopped him.

The older man stepped up, but kept a distance from Jack "Who are you? And why are you here?" Jack looked down at the old man with a grin "I'm here to take this penthouse as mine. Please remove yourselves." The old man frowned "Do you know who I am? I am-" But before he could continue, Jack cut him off. "I don't care who you are. Remove yourselves or I'll do it myself."

The old man, who is Saburo Arasaka, frowned deeper now. After witnessing what happened to his guard, Goro Takemura, there wasn't even dust or ash left behind, he simply vanished. Yorinobu Arasaka, the younger man behind Saburo, was getting more annoyed. So he ordered the robot woman off to the side "Kill this man! Get rid of him!"

Jack was intrigued and waited, and nothing happened at all. The robot woman was far too entertained at watching the two Arasaka men be put down a notch. Jack turned his attention to Yorinobu, and pointed his finger at him. Yorinobu backed away but couldn't escape as a mana bullet hit his head, destroying his brain.

Saburo was now very worried as it seemed Jack was losing patience, so he decided to appease the man for now, and come back later. "Very well. I'll leave." Jack nodded with a smile, and stood aside to let him through, but when he saw the elevator not there his heart dropped. "Where is the elevator?" Jack to the side now had a smirk on his face "Who said anything about an elevator? Jump."

Saburo swallowed the lump that formed in his throat, but kept a steady voice "I'll die-" He was immediately cut off by Jack "And? You think it matters to me? Either you jump, or I kill you." Jack started chuckling "Either way, you die!" He then started laughing, and prepared a orb of destruction at the tip of his finger.

Saburo was now in a cold sweat as he realized what type of person he was dealing with 'Dammit! He doesn't plan on letting me go alive. I'll just have too-' Jack disappeared, and appeared behind Saburo "I wouldn't do that. Unless you like torture~" A sharp purple hand grasped Saburo's frail shoulder, the hand seeming to be made of jagged crystal.

"I wonder if you'll live. Let's find out~" Jack gripped Saburo's shoulder tight, and tossed him into the elevator shaft. He stepped up to the opening, and watched him fall to the bottom, and splatter on impact. "Gotta love gravity." Jack chuckled, and turned back to the only person/robot in the penthouse.

"So what's good with you Clanker?" He grinned, and stepped up to her. The robot woman looked down at him, and responded after a moment "Who are you? And how can you do things like vaporizing someone, and shoot that small blue orb that killed Yorinobu?" Her voice came out robotic, which wouldn't really surprise anyone.

Jack raised a brow at her "Oh? And why exactly should I tell you?" She took a moment to respond, and replied "Seeing as I no longer have a boss, I could work under you." Jack grinned, and mulled it over. On one hand he didn't need anyone as help, but on the other it would get boring being by himself for the whole time here.

"Very well. But first I want your name." Jack said as he walked over to the middle of the room, right after vaporizing Yorinobu's corpse. The female robot followed him further into the room "Call me Ada." Jack nodded, and responded back "Call me Jack. And I'm not exactly from around here~" He smirked, and started raiding the apartment.

[Flashback over]

Jack had raided the entire apartment, popping open wine, using cigarettes, tossing some stuff out that he didn't care about. He had taken the relic, and immediately vaporized it completely. After doing all that he had lay down on the couch, and started looking through channels. He very quickly found a news report on his rampage a while ago.

Ada off to the side was interested in the news, and saw her new boss killing indiscriminately. She was getting more curious about Jack, especially after hearing where he came from, and how he had arrived. He had offered her a chance to follow him across worlds for as long as she devoted herself to him, and she had agreed pretty quickly.

Now with a new companion to join him, he just enjoyed his time of rest, using cigarette after cigarette, and bottle after bottle of wine. Ada had sat down, and watched the news broadcast with rapt attention, watching with great fascination of all Jack's abilities displayed.
