Albur fired a Hyper Blast at Grey, he made a gesture of entering a room through a door. The bullet hit an invisible wall followed by wood breaking sound. Mysty fired a charged shot at Grey, he made a gesture of pushing something, which it stopped the bullets from flying, he then walked to the bullet and turned them around a smacked them, making them flying towards Johnson. Johnson vanished into the digital world. Albur fired a disabling shot at Grey, he then made a gesture of opening a door and entering it, the shot covered white aura on something invisible, which later made it vanish. Grey became annoyed, he then took out a round sphere shaped thing, he then blew the head of it.
"Uh oh, that must be a bomb....." murmured Albur.
Grey made a quiet expression of laughing and aimed to throw the bomb at Albur, but then Johnson appeared again and smacked the bomb of Grey's hands, Johnson then hopped away. Then, Grey was blasted by a invisible thing, an explosion sound could be heard. Johnson then rapid fired at Grey, he quickly made an invisible wall to block the bullets but it resulted in it breaking. Grey then stood up, he made a gesture of pulling out a sword. He then dashed towards Albur, he blocked the invisible sword with his axe. Albur pushed him away before he charged to him again. Their weapons clashed and scrape sparks could be seen on the weapons.
"Bullet Cyclone!"
Mysty spun herself and fired her pistols, Grey made a barrier behind him but the spinning made the bullets curve, hitting him. He pushed Albur away before firing finger pistols at Mysty. Mysty hopped and dashed around, dodging every bullet. Johnson charged his minigun which formed a mini orb at every gun hole. He fired it at Grey, injuring him. Grey then took out another invisible object, he rubbed it and threw it at Johnson. Johnson vanished into the digital world, then, a loud explosion is heard. Mysty fired another charged shot at Grey, he turned around and then made a gesture of driving a car, he then hit the invisible acceleration before jumping down the car and wave. Mysty immediately hopped away, tire screeches could be heard followed by a car crashing and exploding noise.
Albur stood up and fired a Hyper Blast, Grey tanked it and took out another invisible bomb. But Johnson appeared and kicked the bomb away and fired his minigun at Grey before slowly backing away. Grey was furious, he then took out something, he opened the lid of it and poured it every where. The crew could feel the liquid beneath their feet, Grey then took out a box, before taking out something from it and scrapped it against the box, then, they heard fire burning noise.
"OH CRAP! BEWARE!" yelled Johnson.
Grey threw the burning thing on the floor, burning sound could be heard. Then, the gang started feeling their feet is on fire, its burning hot and they're burn marks on their legs as well. Covie quickly flew to Grey and knocked his skull before flying to the gang and heal their injuries. The gang quickly got rid of the fire on them.
Grey was furious, he glared at Covie, he then made a gesture of swinging a rope, and he tossed it. Covie tilted her head in confusion, but then, she felt something and hooped on her, Grey pulled the invisible rope, Covie flew to him uncontrollably.
"Master help!" Covie immediately noticed something is wrong and yelled for Johnson's help. Johnson quickly got up.
"Let go of her!" Johnson rushed towards Grey and tried to cut the rope using his robot claws, but Grey kept dodging his slashes and slowly backed off to the same broken window Johnson threw him out. He grinned as he stuck Covie out of the window. Covie shrieked in fear, Grey laughed demonically but no voice came out his mouth. He broke the propeller above Covie's head and grabbed onto the rope.
"No! NO! " Johnson rushed towards Grey.
Grey shook his head, he then snapped the rope, Covie fell down, vanishing into the clouds.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Johnson stopped at the window, he looked at the clouds, he panted very heavily, despite not showing any expression, he still seemed to be in a very terrible mental state. Grey took the chance to punch Johnson's screen and smacked him in the stomach, he took out handcuffs and cuffed him. Out of extreme anger, Johnson used up all of his strength and busted the hand cuff. He hit Grey on the ground and constantly punched at his skull, he activated GK mode on his claw and slashed him rapidly. Grey fired a finger pistols which knocked him back, Johnson roared in anger and pulled out his minigun, but then, a glitch bullet hit Johnson's head, Grey took the opportunity to punch him in the head, knocking him out.
Mysty tried to look for the origin of the glitch bullet, but then, Grey charged towards her and use an punched her in the stomach which sent her flying.
"Mysty! " Albur panicked, Grey fired finger pistols at him, he dodged them and fired a Hyper Blast. Grey stopped the bullet and moved away to let it hit the wall behind him. Albur grunted, he then remembered the computer virus in his rifle, he decide to test it out now. He aimed it at Grey, but then, something smacked Albur's head. Albur instantly felt dizzy, his vision went blurred, he tried to stand still but another smack made him fall on the ground. Unable to stand up.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Albur's ears are still ringing, his head feels heavy and aching.
"Albur, Albur, wake up buddy." a voice sliced through the silent air.
Albur opened his eyes, his blurry vision slowly cleared. He tried to move his body, but he later found out he is strapped, his hands and legs are all being tied onto a chair, and his axe and rifle are sitting next to him. He tried to break free but the ropes are too tight and tough.
"Albur...you're finally awake." a voice came out from behind Albur.
"What.....who are you? Where am I?" He turned around, a black figure is standing behind him. He walked into the light, revealing his identity, Wilton Notlim.
"Wilton?!" Albur was shocked.
"Yes! Its me!" Wilton walked around him.
Albur looked at Wilton, he couldn't make up anything in his mind.
"Wilton! You owe me an explanation!" Albur looked at him. Wilton chuckled, he slowly walked around him, with his hands behind his back.
"I worried for a second my cover would be blown, yet you just thought the land-mine tracker is the true cause. Made my worries unnecessary." he continued saying as he walks.
"I was involved in a glitch accident, that time, I was on my way home, taking a bus home. But then, I saw CIs on the road, attacking everyone. The bus eventually crashed, everyone on board was killed, except for me. After a while, when I woke up., I don't know what happened, then, a swarm of glitches found me, they took out hand cuffs and rope, wanting to catch me, but then, a glitch stopped them, it was Colonel Breach She saw me, still alive, and able to walk. When I thought my life was at the edge, when I least expected, she didn't kill me. Instead, she scanned me with one of her cards."
Breach: Agony, hatred, tiredness....the heck have you been through?
Wilton: Wh-what?
Breach: Why do you have such high level of negative emotions?
Wilton: Well, I uh, its just a normal emotion of every working human on Earth, I'm just one of them.
Breach: Yet out of all people you survived.....
Wilton: Uh....yeah?
Breach: You are bored and tired of you life aren't you?
Wilton: A little, why?
Breach:... I am thinking, would you want to be a ruler?
Wilton: WHat? Hell no! Why would I want myself to have the stripes and centimeter symbols on me?
Breach: You fool! Its ruler! The people who rules a place!
Wilton: Oh...
Breach: I'm surprised your not dead, your survivability skills are outstanding.
Wilton: Uh.....those are luck I guess.
Breach: Normal humans just die or just being captured, your different, able to survive one day and not badly injured nor captured.
Wilton: ....
Breach: Say, why don't you help us out?
Wilton: Wha- what?
Breach: You hate your job, and I can see that you hate quite a lot of people. Would you like to become a ruler?
Wilton: I could?
Breach: But I need your help, you see, there is a group of humans, they are quite a threat to us, if you could blend into them, give us their exact location and the info of them, I will be sure to grant your wish...
Wilton: You, want me to become an imposter?
Breach: Your innocent looking and a quite foolish persona will make no one suspect you. Your the perfect person to be an imposter.
Wilton: But-but...
Breach: Think about it, if you help us, we will give you what you want, respect, power and one whole continent to rule! Isn't it a win win?
Wilton: ...when could I start?
"After that, they helped heal me, give me food and told me everything I need to do in details. I promised them I will help and they will give me my reward. I will need to act I want to help attack them and they will pretend they will kill me. After that, I painted myself dirty, suck out the food in my body and pretend I was another lucky survivor. That's when I met you all..." Wilton stopped.
Albur looked at him furiously.
"You are an imposter all along?!"
"Thanks to my Oscar level acting."
"You betraying monster! I trusted you!"
"Actually I want to offer you something."
Albur raised his eyebrow.
"During the whole adventure, you stood out for me, save me from those 'pretend' glitch attacks, and you gave me so much emotion support. It touched me, so I treated you differently with others."
"What?"
"Admit it! You also hate your job and your life no? We both have the same stingy boss, same boring life. Now's our chance! We would get power! Respect! And we can rule a continent! Don't you always say you want to do something interesting? This is it! And according to Breach, after they took over the solar system, Earth would completely be ours! What do you think buddy?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
Wilton was startled by the words.
"You really think some floating skull particle's words could be trusted? They are tricking you Wilton! You are such a naive person!"
"Am I? Well I've already earned this!"
Wilton raised his right arm, his right arms was then covered by glitch energy, he then fired a glitch bullet at the wall, cracking it.
"I've got one of the things I wanted, power!"
"They gave you their powers?!"
"See? Come on Albur, just join us! Join the glitches! I promise, we will be at the top of the world in no time!"
Albur looked at his surroundings, he's thinking, he looked at the humans, about to being fully turned into digital data, and then looked at Wilton, who is grinning. But ultimately, he chose the former.
"No! I won't betray my friends! I won't betray my family! My own kind! My mother planet! Despite having powers and respect, none of those would fix the notches without them!" yelled Albur.
Wilton was startled, apparently, this wasn't the answer he is expecting.
"Come on Albur, think again! If you....."
"No! I will never join the glitches! You shouldn't as well! We are humans! You couldn't betray your own kind just to seek power and respect!"
Wilton took a step back, but then, he scoffed.
"I tried to give you a chance to rebirth, but you just spat at my shoe, well then, you have made your decision, I couldn't stop you." Wilton snapped his fingers.
Two glitches then entered the room.
"Kill him, he rejected the offer."
"Yes sir!" the 2 glitches then lifted Albur and the chair.
"What? Where are you taking me? WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?"
"To the extermination room, your friends are there as well." Wilton scoffed. He turned away in disappointment and throw his his rifle and axe into a box and gave it to another glitch. To prevent Albur from escaping, Wilton knocked Albur out again with a baseball bat, seemingly the same one he used earlier.
