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.

Artificial Loneliness
"You're back! how was your day~?" Rachel smiled warmly and opened the door for them, there was a delightful smell in the house, obviously, she had fun cooking."Granny!""Dear, you look happy..." Both grandmother and granddaughter hugged one another while Morpheus and Hana stood on the side, regarding the warm reunion. They knew that Rachel has seen the new restaurant and wanted to know what she thinks about it."I am... my day was wonderful, what about yours? how was your day." The one tasked to question that was Sarah, she smiled and awaited her grandmother's response."It was... amazing! There is so much I want to say... come and sit, Null and I prepared your dishes." She beaconed for the entire group to enter the kitchen and sit.Morpheus nodded and came in together with the girls, heading straight for the kitchen where Null was with an apron, cooking... said android turned around, a little surprised when he took her by the waist."Null..." He pressed her against his body, and t
Fun in the Bentley
The bells resonated across the campus, signifying the end of yet another day of studies, Hana walked peacefully, her friend had already departed on her own; leaving her to wander the halls of the campus by herself, moving to the front where a self-driving vehicle awaited with dark windshields.A majestic Bentley."Did your girl also say that she'd go with Bryce?" Hana entered the Bentley parked at the campus entrance, Sarah was inside having arrived earlier."She did... but Bryce said he's busy" The two of them gave each other a small kiss on the cheeks and Hana slumped on the passenger seat releasing a sigh."When are we going to tell them?" Sarah asked with crossed arms, it's obvious that bastard Bryce is playing around with their friends."I don't know... do we have the right to tell them? we're doing the same." Hana placed her bag on her delicate tights, the two of them had played it nice this time, a competition of sorts.Prior, Sarah had taken the passenger seat while Hana sat i
Love Doesn't Need Qualifications
After telling Sarah that he'd head there to pick them up, Morpheus hung up the call on his phone, quite the useful artefact he believed it to be.On the other side of the city was Sarah, sitting on the rooftop with a heavy blush.Now the connection is cut down for real, signalling the unimpeded eruption."KYAAAA!!" Like a stupid little girl, Sarah swayed back and forth, unable to contain her happiness.'I have the best boyfriend ever!'But then she slumped slightly, 'But I have to share him...'Sighing she remained on the rooftop for a while before preparing to make her way back, but when she opened the door to go downstairs, she found a gruesome vision."Sarah."A voice said softly, a tall boy appeared in front of her, marred with tattoos and a hooligan appearance."...?"She heard a voice just as she was preparing to make her way back to the classroom, a man crept from the stairs, impeding her way forward.The girl regarded a boy... too known to her that it even produced disgust, so
Lovestruck
"H-How did you get yourself that car!?" The voice of a frantic girl resonated in the classroom as Sarah made an annoyed expression, still feeling pride inwardly.Sarah sat on her desk with a redhead screaming all over, annoying the entire class until the teaching bot came back to the classroom."Secret." She answered, not paying attention but giggling still, one could tell she was happy."You have a boyfriend!? what about Ashton!?""Secret, and he's not the 'new' boyfriend... he's the love of my life also... fuck Ashton."She answered again, giggling stupidly unaware that she just said the 'secret', not paying attention to the growling fool to the other side of the room."A-And you came out with the school belle as well!?" The girl said, referring to Hana, they were seen coming out of the Bentley together."Secret, definitely a secret!" Telling her friends that she's sharing her boyfriend is a no-no.The class went on normally, they entered the VRworld where she noticed a lot more new
Granny's Gratitude
"Oh my dear, t-this place is..." Rachel gasped, looking around after Null took her hands out of her eyes, brightening up the previous darkness that isolated her eyes from seeing the 'marvellous surprise'. It was a shop for sale, one where her store is going to be next, no longer having to move that stall all over, now she can come here early in the morning, and everything will be prepared for her. "This is for you Rachel, actually... we're going to refurbish the house as well." Null smiled, feeling slightly content at the granny's reaction to everything around, the shop was clean, with glass screens and modern flooring, completely different to her humble stall, it was elegant, and obviously, this wouldn't be its last state. Rachel was simply delighted that she had such a shop, a ten-metre square front shop of the same size in the back a kitchen with all the equipment. 'Oh my...' tears were about to come out of her bionic pupils. "B-But that..." "Don't worry Rachel, everything wil
Blitzkrieg's Exclusive Agent II
"You seem to be a little surprised, <Sigularity>" Marianne held her fluttering hair, the gales of wind didn't give her a rest; beneath them were the clouds, and the concealed reactor together with an endless expanse of fields and underground facilities, what used to be myriad green colours had turned into a mechanical mess that consumed this planet."..." Morpheus regarded her in her battle pose, wondering what she intends... he has already expected several motherships to be rounding him as they speak, but that doesn't seem to be the case; before he was limited due to his lack of mana, but now... if they wanted to take him down they needed at least a quarter of this planet's weaponry, let alone just her body."Is it because I managed to discover you?" Regarding his awkward silence, Marianne started to float around, analysing his entire profile up and down again and again as if learning his every contour."How did y
