Shattering [Bris!]
« on: May 31, 2014, 03:27:21 am »
What was everyone's problem with him all the time? It was thirteen years ago. Thirteen years since he stole a lousy ship and ran away with it JUST because he didn't want to become a guinea pig for TRIM. So what was everyone's problem? It's not like he'd be causing some excessive trouble in society... So why it was him that got shot at and chased? Because of a measly sum at his head? What an INCREDIBLE reason!

Who the living hell would come up with such logic? He'd screw that idiot's head off... If he wouldn't be currently running like hell to save his skin from bullets, flying at him in every direction. This was one of the darker, shadier parts of Cancer where no one would bother trying to stop a bunch of people with guns. Or a person. He didn't even know whether it was one person or more, but the moment he got a bullet through his shirt - which luckily missed him, but left a hole in the black fabric - he started running. It was instinct, and instinct never failed him before.

And he trusted his instincts as he bolted blindly forth as fast as he could.

He could hear them, the metallic clinks of bullets that hit both metal and stone around... They were so close behind his back that his heart and breath was threatening him to speed up even more. Was that even possible? It was racing by now, too, so fast that its sound was deafening in his ears, even more deafening than the sound of stomping and bullets.

It was a mistake to go here.

A vent... That was good... He found a vent. Almost immediately he yanked the cover off and forced his body through, climbing as fast as he could. For a moment he stopped, suddenly realizing that one of the bullets must have grazed his leg as his eyes fell on a crimson stream, running down one of the sides of the vent.

Well, whatever, not like he could stop right now. His hands clenched around one of the edges of the plates, forming the vent, and pushed him up, climbing like a cat up a tree. It went up, down, up, down, till he completely lost all sense of direction. Only then did he punch out the other cover, and fell out, catching his breath.

Something told him that he wasn't completely safe yet... He should get up and continue running. But there didn't seem to be anyone around!

The sound of bullets was what Aemilius was following.

"Aemilius, please note that the target is armed and running, terminate with caution, you were expensive after all." The woman talking to him down the comms was his Handler, Amy, matched psychologically to his personality to keep him in check and in chains for the company.

"Of course Amy, thank you." Aemilius followed, seeing the bounty hunter team chasing his target into a vent. He braced his huge four meter form, and his head peeled back, revealing what looked like a star inside his head. And a mere second later, screams resounded as the men were incinerated by the beam.

The whirring of the nanites composing his skin grew loud as his right arm transformed into a cannon, ready to fire bolts at the wall.

Then he began blowing the wall away, walking forward through the newly forming hole.

"Knock knock, Ryutari Haisaru Tatsuku Maeno. Death is here."

What the hell was that? What... No, no, no, this must be a bad dream!

Ryutari's eyes widened even more, almost into a circular shape despite them normally being almond-shaped and narrow. "...The f**k?" he gasped, immediately jumping to his feet and backing up as he unsheathed the sleek blade, hanging by his waist.

There was a mountain of metal standing right there... A mountain of metal that just said his name. And tried to JOKE. Really, this was beyond his brain to comprehend in the current moment. And so, he relied on his instinct to start running again, turned sideways to the... Something.

The black blade flashed with bright light, resembling a lightning, running down the metal. It charged, with a slight hum heated the air around itself to an insane temperature, turning it into plasma. A similar glow surrounded the blade.

Then, a crescent-shaped shot of that heated plasma was sent at a frighteningly high speed at the mountain of metal. It was almost as wide as Ryu was tall, and it tore the ground, leaving a gash when one tip of the crescent touched it.

"Sorry, I didn't arrange a date!" he shouted back.

Aemilius turned to his target, the piercing orange eyes looking at Ryu like targeting lasers.

"Target acquired. Initiating slaughter." The voice resounded as the wave of plasma hit him, knocking him backwards, before his skin rippled, repairing itself, then slowly beginning to morph into a rubbery substance.

"You clearly haven't heard. I'm indestructible. Nice try though. If I had touch, I bet that would have tickled." His hand morphed into the joust like appendage, and he went to stab his target, readying the other one with an altered version of his cannon, designated structure "automatic".

Then he began to fire off bolts at lightning speed, with lethal precision.

So the plasma bolt didn't destroy the metal mountain, as he nicknamed his pursuer in his mind. Nevermind... He still had his legs to run, and maybe he could outrun the big, slow... Thing!

Though, maybe that wasn't such a good idea, either. He clenched his teeth as something tore his shirt at the shoulder, skewing into his skin. It was fortunate that he managed to shift aside at the right time, otherwise he'd already be missing his left arm completely.

He went to leap up and try to climb onto one of the roofs to avoid the shots that followed, but they were too fast. Only narrowly avoiding them, he got the grip of a windowsill with his left hand, and pulled himself up, the blade still in his other hand. The house wasn't too tall, and he managed to climb up, even though almost meeting a bolt on the way, which burned his side, and where several layers of fabric used to cover his side was now just a burned hole.

Pressing his forearm onto the burned skin, he ran further, trying to catch his breath. It was disgusting to run like that, but what could he do against a huge metal creature that could even get hurt by a high-temperature plasma bolt?

At least he still had both legs and arms and was still running... At least that.

Just as the Ryu climbed into the building and ducked out the way, the beam followed him, scorching the wall, and leaving a heat haze in the air.

"Damn. He's fast." The whirring loudened again, and his "lower rib" area turned into vents, and he found himself ascending, flying to catch his prey.

"But no doubt I fly faster." He scanned the surroundings, seeing the movements of fleeing people, and the sight of a building he had set alight to, and inside was a child.

His personality overrode his objective and he immediately crashed through the roof, taking the child to safety, before resuming his search, using a separate scanner to examine where his prey had fled to.

"Where are you going Mr Maeno?"

Bolting forth by the roof, Ryu only narrowly avoided another blast. After that, his pursuer seemed to be gone, but he didn't let up yet. These folks didn't give up on a running and injured prey that easily... He has been that prey for so many years already that he got used to it.

The roof ended, and he leaped off it, landing in a backstreet, narrow between two houses squashed onto each other. As he managed to roll on the ground upon touching it, he left more blood marks on the stones of the streets. Dammit... He could be tracked down by that, but he didn't have the time to do anything else but press one hand on his shoulder and the other one onto his side.

He was searching for another vent, which would lead him to a better hiding place. Though, there wasn't any around!

A dead end. Wow. Today was really lucky... The way was blocked by a wall!

He unsheathed his katana to blast a hole through it. The air around charged with an immense amount of electricity, gathering around the tip, and remained there for longer than usually. Rivers of plasma ran down the metal, to create a crescent shape before the tip.

Then, he released it. It could be a bad idea, as the blazing, huge blast attracted everyone's eyes, but it was easier than running back... And there was a hole in the wall, leaving a way open to another street.

Aemilius set the child down, his rather sinister appearance betraying the gentle, cold touch of his metal hands.

Then when the explosion went off, his head shot in that direction, and he took off, changing his hands to the joust-like appendages, and preparing to fight.

"Ryu dear, I'm home. Come on out, and give your dearest a kiss..." The last word of the phrase was followed by a clearly digital sound as his nanites chirped and produced ridiculous amounts of noise, responding to the energy signature of the plasma blast.

Then he released a hypersonic sound, and several glasses shattered, and the sound of a bat in the local vicinity echoed as it's eardrums burst.

"Come on out, so I can cook some dinner..."

At the sound of that voice, Ryutari only ran faster. "Leave me alone, you sick metallic pervert! I haven't done anything to anyone!" he shouted back. Except for the five guards incapacitated and one stolen personal spaceship thirteen years ago, he really hasn't. And there wasn't any other reason than that for him to be chased!

He pressed his hands onto the wounds tighter, pulling the shirt over around his side in an attempt to wrap it in it and stop the bleeding, but his attempts were mostly futile. The biggest danger from this could be losing conscience due to blood loss... What would make him an easy target.

Tying the sleeve on his right arm around his side he did somehow manage to patch that place up, even though it then exposed his arm. Well, at least he had one hand free to fight with if it would come to that.

"Now stop that." Aemilius crashed down in front of Ryu, his robot form obliterating the concrete.

"I don't think you want to go that way...." Aemilius growled, the chittering and whirring of nanites louder than ever.

"You have a nice name. Don't know if your headline will fit it. But oh well." His face folded back, revealing the reaction fuelling him, the bright sun ready to fire the deathly beam, the heat flowing into the room.

"Don't worry, this will be quick and painless." Aemilius braced for the laser's release.

"Unfortunately."

At the moment Ryu noticed the android's head opening up, he sensed something bad. It was a feeling he just couldn't deny. Bad stuff was about to happen and he should better back up. He instinctively shifted aside, preparing to leap up to climb up the nearest building.

All the muscles in his legs tensed as he bent his knees, and stretched into a great length as he launched himself up, flying good three meters towards the roof. He ignored the sharp pain, shooting from the scratch on his leg, his burned side and shoulder, and stretched himself as much as he could to grip a nearby windowsill on the second floor, get some more time up in the air, and kick himself off the wall again to finish the leap in a large round, landing behind the metal mountain.

Hitting the ground with the soles of his shoes, he immediately turned to make a roll to ease the impact, and avoid breaking anything, to spring back up as fast as possible, and reveal his sword again. A large current started gathering along its blade, and less than a second later fired a strong blast of incredibly heated plasma at his pursuer. In quick succession as he backed up, he managed to fire three. Three. Hopefully the high voltage and temperature would slow the machine down.

The laser hit the floor, melting the concrete into a molten rock, and then the blasts hit Aemilius, and some nanites screamed as the were superheated.

Then the nanites changed, this time forming into a diamond-like substance, heat resistant and non conductive. He could adapt infinitely, so a meagre three blasts was now nothing.

He smashed the wall down, knowing that he couldn't fly like this. He had even lost the majority of his shape shifting, apart from the laser. This new compound was restrictive, and he disliked that, and so he began working on a way round it as he smashed through walls and windows to reach his prey.

"Come here, poppet."

The creature changed its surface... Ryutari knew that his blasts would no longer work against him as the last one was simply deflected, but this new material allowed him to strike more efficiently. It seemed like pretty easy to shatter...

He charged forwards, running towards the android from the back at full speed. He was ready to release a horizontal strike at it, which would, would he be lucky, end up shattering him from the side. If he'd be lucky...

The strike struck true, and the sound of cracking crystal echoed. Then the material changed, altering itself to a smooth, shiny, almost liquid metal.

But the issue was that it was unstable, and parts of the skin fell off, as the nanites worked to replicate, and began calculating yet another material, trying to conserve nanite replication material.

Again, it changed, this time, to a rock-like material, and he found it hard to move again. He was struggling to find a compound with the right properties. And for a minute, he froze, stuck in indecision.

Immediately spotting an opportunity as the android struggled to create a surface not susceptible to any damage from his attacks, Ryutari charged another blast, but instead or releasing it, he let it wrap around the blade of the sword, heat the metal itself, and create an immensely hot and dangerous layer of plasma, pulsing and shifting along the blade.

He leaped up to strike again, swinging the blade down onto the head of the... Thing, whatever it was. If the material it was currently made of was fragile, it should shatter, and if it was conductive, it would most likely burn out all its circuits. If it was neither...

He was screwed that way, and he'd land on the ground like a sack of potatoes if he wouldn't manage to flip over quickly.

The program finished before the strike hit, but the transformation didn't, and the blade cut through one arm, before hitting the new carbon-like material.

"Now I'm pissed." The head unfolded fast, faster than it had before, and it was this point that Aemilius' game turned into a true hunt, with every intent of slaughtering Ryu as fast as possible.

The laser was propelled out of the robot's head, at blinding speed, aimed straight for Ryu, the angry sound of the laser expanding, pumping out more energy and heat than before, becoming wider and more bright.

Hurling out of the way of the blast as fast as he could, Ryu quickly raised his arms to protect his head, and rolled down onto the side of the road. He clenched his teeth in pain after feeling the heat, soaring from the beam, and he was only fast enough to get most of himself away from danger.

Most of the skin on the upper sides of his forearms and the backs of his hands ended up burned, though successfully avoiding any damage done to his head. Climbing to his feet surprisingly fast for the amount of burns he had on his body, he grabbed the sword by both hands once more. At least he didn't miss an arm like his opponent.

"Looks like your aim isn't so amazing!" he commented through his gritted teeth, charging another blast on the tip of the sword.

The nanites formed a stump, before a loud whir signalled the beginning of repair, and the nanites began rebuilding the arm.

Now his whole body was a matte black metal, and his eyes glowed brighter than before.

"Die!" The other arm formed the spike, and he thrust it at Ryu, hoping that he could swing sideways if he didn't impale him.

The blast was released at the spike as Ryutari put all his strength into the next leap, launching himself rather high, and grabbing onto the closest roof. His muscles protested against the strain pulling himself up in an almost insane speed put on them, but he kept his mouth shut.

"What the f*** have I ever done to you that you're chasing me?" he asked, clutching the blade once again. "I'm not a mass murderer or a drug smuggler. You better go to TRIM and start off a mass slaughter, because if someone deserves to get their brain blasted off, it's them. But you don't give a f*** about that, right?" he burst out.

"What am I thinking? You can't think for yourself..." he growled, and started charging another blast, remaining light on his feet to be able to evade any hit that might be launched at him.

"I'm in it for the money. I have no need for money, for anything, but your demise. And besides. Nothing can stop me if I choose to leave." Aemilius' arm burst out in full, repaired with the last of his resources.

"And besides. TRIM built me. TRIM gave me everything I have. I consider killing you as returning the favour." Aemilius charged up another laser blast, ready to try and obliterate this puny human. His new material was enough, and the nanites had consumed all their resources. Now he just had to fight.
