The sun dipped and the bloody moonlight rose up turning the sea of clouds red like a thick mist of blood signifying an omen in Ancient China.The blood moon shined its reddish glow on Neon Abyss City, the wind blew slow and gentle giving off a calm aura. But a ting of slaughter lingered beneath the gentle wind. The city looked a tad bit silent, don't get me wrong. The signature colourful light of the city was everywhere, the pleasure girls and boys took to the street selling themselvesBut the gangs....,The gang bore cautiousness as their nightly streak was broken.

Stopping on top of a garbage bag, its metal head, possessing a single ocular lens that blinked red locked onto a building across the street. It red circular marker watched as people entered and exited from the entrance under the watchful eyes of the bloodthirsty guards and hidden cameras detected by the robots programs.It stood steel silently, waiting..........watching for the go signal. About 20 seconds in, a sharp voice echoed over the Comms followed by a string of matrix code entering the central processor unit." 15 seconds window!

They burst out with even more speed thanks to the vibrations closing the gap in seconds. Approaching the trio, the speed was reduced and the cloaking function raised to the maxSlowly split into groups moving into the three smaller ones inching towards the neural jack.One by the far left with an obvious metal face was the first target. Quickly assaulted, his neural port was hijacked, fire wall overrun falling into the hand of his worst enemy - a net runner.His ocular eyes blinking red glitch from a nano-second before returning to normal, oblivious to the other one of them has died virtually ama his mind space taken over" First target neutralised" Rebecca's voice came, calm..... steady. She was enjoying this The second group moved into their next target approaching discreetly, weaving around the grass and darting up straight into his neural port.

" yeah" she agreed. " And if your theory is correct, these people aren't ordinary net runners or mercs, they had to be dangerous! Remember the Mind link?

(Style ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ ) He walked the sky like a pro using street lamps and tall platforms to his advantage. The brightly lit city below him continued to thrive, unaware a new vigilante has been born specifically for the night-his domain. He was ready to do anything to achieve his goals.....ready to kill.
