Exotic Entities

The delightful picture of a female could be seen swiftly typing on a keyboard inside a dark room filled with red lights, her hair is as red and shiny as those lights.

Dozens of images moved through her head and her vision simultaneously as she studied them.

'The Blackout, the bank... could it have been the same person?'

That's her hypothesis, but... why does she care?

Because she has to get her hands in that camouflaging technology and that EMP... only with those will she finally step up her game and reach V2.

'So it's you...'

The image was very fuzzy and she could barely recognise it, it's from a camera in barnet, there... before the robbery of the bank where that shadow appeared, this man was also there several blocks away.

While everyone ran he was calm and then... he turned into that darkness... no doubt he must be some kind of android, but... who exactly is he? if he's an android then external appearances couldn't be any more deceiving, he could change his appearance to a totally different person every second.

'What would you do...? what's your next step after obtaining thirty million pounds in an easy robbery...?'

Rather than labelling him as the 'shadow' or the phantom... Rosalie had a better name for the figure she could barely recognise within the camera due to the distance, but from far away she could see a characteristic that was noteworthy.

Therefore she labelled her next target as 'The Hunk'.

'Indeed, it has to be that...' The redhead smirked and sucked on her lollipop, leaning back against the seat as her software kept running matches along with all cameras in Barnet before her backdoor was discovered.

She got dozens of matches.

'Barnet it is...'

She'd have to move a long distance from Inverness but as long as she could get her hands on that android and his precedence, she'd be a step ahead of the competition.

It's difficult for independents to rival the corporations and V2, cutting edge technology is in high demand, and this hunk has it.

That's how it works, she also made sure to erase all the proof that he left, the last thing she needs is someone else going after him.

While some crazy hacker and some unknown existences tailed him secretly, the unaware god walked down the road, taking his time.

HIs next destiny? the Red Blood gang.

Originally he had just wanted to make sure of a few things, that suppressing feeling, no doubt he had been back there in the stall, but... he seemed to have been the only one that felt it.

Sarah and Rachel didn't look like they felt anything.

There was also that mysterious girl, Hana... her gaze resulted familiar... but it's impossible so far, he believes she's just some lovestruck girl that fell for him at first sight, otherwise why else would she use such an intense gaze every time?

Unless he's her objective, and that's the reason his senses were tingling, however... he departed and remained close for some time yet she never came.

It's confusing... he can sense when he's stared on all the time, but in this instance what he felt wasn't that...

Be it as it may, he needed some breathing, and sure enough, there is a matter that awaits seizure.

The Red Blood gang, the people that were trying to pressure Rachel into paying this 'fee' after soul searching the corpses *cough* gangsters... he once again met the gruesome reality, just like everyone he has searched, their memories seem to be altered, by now he knows this mysterious chip is involved as if their memories are no longer stores in their brains and hence, their souls, rather, they're stored in this chip, and that's the reason why he wants to finally unveil how they work.

The Red Blood Gang is a relatively big organisation, not only do they take fees from stalls but they also steal from major corporations such as the Bank of England, they had been the ones that gifted him those thirty million pounds too, quite generous of them.

Before they stepped closer to Rachel, he'd just erase them and get what he could from them.

He concealed himself and floated above high barnet, he doesn't know where exactly the hideout is, he only knows it's in here... the skyscrapers reached the skies, announcing the lewdest of materials and displaying videos.

It was still within the time of the day and hence, he was visible, still rather than show himself as a sun, he'd rather shown himself as a dark stain.

'What to do...? How can he pinpoint the exact location of their hideout?

*WOOSSSHHH!!!*

He wouldn't have to wait much longer, from far away, coming out of nowhere, a sudden missile rocketed through the skies at amazing speeds before eventually coming down to crash against one of the skyscrapers!

*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!----------

A great explosion took place as the glasses of the majority of the building broke into pieces, falling down towards the innocent people beneath.

<Elemental Output: Wind>

He stopped the glass shards from injuring people and also got rid of the smoke and fire that threatened to cover the building, alarms were immediately ringing.

'... what exactly happened?'

Where did that device come from? could it be that someone was going to raid the Red Blood Gang's headquarters today as well?

What are the odds?

Be it as it may, he immediately flew inside the destroyed bit of the building, entering through this 'backdoor'.

Inside there were several injured people that happened to be in the site of impact, it had left a massive gaping hole.

Judging from the guns they have and their clothes, this is indeed the Red Blood Gang, they were concealed within this seemingly common skyscraper like rats, but... it had been a way bigger organisation than he originally believed.

He expected several dozens, here... there are several hundred.

It's impossible that such a big organisation is in control of only this district.

*WOOOSSHHH!!*

His shadow figure moved through the hallways, bisecting everyone in the place that looked like a 'terrorist', his intention was clear, he wanted to reach the 'top-dog'.

The leader that's bound to have better connections and know a lot more about this world, this city.

Outside of the building, floating not too far away, a flying vehicle COULDN'T be seen, it was camouflaged.

Inside sat a female with silver hair and armour that covered her bombshell of a body, the suit seemed to have purple shining lines and her eyes were covered by a black cloth.

'It's really him... he doesn't have a chip or enhancements... mysterious subject, singularity spotted.'

Singularity... an element within the system whose existence has no explanation whatsoever through the public or private protocol.

An existence that shouldn't exist.

What Morpheus found inside that building was nothing short of hideous, looks like 'humanity' has long since lost a meaning within it and everything that moves is used either as an object of pleasure, food or simply... a 'thing'.

Women and men alike, no one was pardoned, even mechanic animals, he felt truly disgusted and now raiding this place seemed to be the perfect decision.

He bisected any of them he saw, liberated any person that had been 'imprisoned'... and still had three more spells before his core ran out of energy.

There were drugs and money everywhere, he took the money and erased the drugs. But he's sure that just like the last time, the true amount of 'money' and wealth in the form of information is within the chips and within the 'servers'.

After moving through the entire building and causing a lot of destruction, leaving at least three hundred deaths... he was disappointed to find that there wasn't anyone he could possibly label as a 'top-dog'

And the servers... he couldn't 'hack' them because he doesn't know how to... the trip had been wasted, or at least... that's what he initially thought.

"If you're looking for the leader... you won't find him..."

"..."  That voice suddenly resonated through the entire building, and now he realised that the device from before hadn't been a mistake.

"Organisations such as this one are remotely 'controlled' by a higher force, one much higher than you might expect..."

"Higher than you?" He asked then, fully addressing whatever that was currently talking to him, it sounded human but with a filter.

"That's subjective... thanks to the chaos you caused, I managed to hack into the servers easily and without spending too many resources... how may I address you?"

"It's bad education to ask others for their name before introducing yourself."

"V2, nice to meet you..." She immediately asked, hoping that he wouldn't deviate the introduction.

"Zekron..."

"Zekron... or Morpheus...?"

"If you already know, why do you ask?" He resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Are you Hana?" That's the only person he can possibly suspect, there is Sarah too... but that clumsy and stubborn girl couldn't possibly be involved in anything of this scale.

"Negative, I'm not 'Hana'... if you want to know more about me... come out, I will be waiting for you, Zekron... I already erased all of the registry, data and proof left behind by you, you're welcome."

"..."

So he had been in their eyes all long, huh?

Nothing can be truly concealed in this world it seems.

When he floated outside the building, what he saw was dozens of authority vehicles flying in the direction of the damaged building.

Sirens rang everywhere and many police cars were already parked beneath.

"Head North from Here... there are too many officers..."

!!!

He heard that voice out of literally nowhere and only after fully focusing his senses all around, did he finally sense the origin.

A small metallic insect right beside his ear, no wonder he didn't feel it, this thing is not emitting any vitality.

He waved his hand and the insect moved on its own before falling in between his fingers.

"How are you doing this?" It was the 'insect's time to be surprised...

"North... let's see what you have for me, V2" He ignored the insect's surprise and shot right through the vehicles at amazing speeds, the vehicles, driven by AIs didn't catch the movement of his darkness, for them, it was as if nothing as in the screen.
