章節 240: New Specs
The sound of engines signals the others' arrival, Ori and David look over as a car more beat-up than their own arrives stopping next to them. Falco steps outta the driver's seat while Rebecca and Sasha get out the back.
Their appearances hadn't changed all that much, Falco's moustache was slightly more magnificent than before, along with some finer-looking clothes he'd adopted after their trip to Vegas. Sasha and Rebecca had gotten more Cyberware which was visible from the skin-line grafts, but other than that they were the same old.
Rebecca especially hadn't really changed, one would have expected her to grow somewhat, but she'd remained at her demure 5ft. Not that she hadn't wanted to get taller... Her prototype subdermal armour meant that she'd basically need to get skinned alive since her dermal layer was on the cusp of necrosis. Add the fact her other Cyberware was sized specifically for her and would need to be replaced and you had the unchanging loli...
She wasn't all that upset, she knew about her own body of course... Plus, she liked it when Ori referred to her as 'cuddle-size', at least in private. The one thing she had changed was her new external hand augments, basically large slip-on Cyberhand gloves that allowed her to handle much larger weaponry without the drastic downsides. Though, he was sure they were partly in memory of Pilar.
"You guys have any trouble?" Ori questions as they walk around.
"Naahh, just some bums who thought robbing this piece of shit was a good idea." Rebecca gestures at the crappy car they'd decided to use for the operation.
Falco opens the trunk to reveal another tied-up suit, though this one was unconscious with a large fist-shaped mark on his face. "Becca here decided we'd carry 'em..."
"What? You wanted to drag this ass hole kicking and screaming to the car?" she shakes her head, "Can we get this over with? Star-Boxed Lovers is gonna be on soon."
"Star-Boxed...?" David mouthes to himself.
Rebecca catches it and shrugs, "A bunch of guys and gals pick who they wanna date in a lineup, then they fight in the boxing right to see who'll get the chance..."
"Just the men? Or is this a cat-fight sorta thing?" Falco asks, looking interested.
She quirks a grin, "Both. Last episode two bitches almost killed each other for some Latino hunk... Pretty sure the guy was gay though...?"
"Okay... Let's finish up then. Lucy's alright called for transport." Ori states before beginning to push one of the vehicles, the rest of the group pushing the other.
Banging can be heard coming from the trunk as if the suit was aware of what was about to happen. This wouldn't surprise Ori given he'd shown him where they were earlier. "Make sure to hold your breath buddy, or not, maybe you'll grow gills in your next life." he says with one final shove, sending the thing careening down the ledge and into the river.
Another splash later and the Corpos were dealt with. By the time their corpses are found whatever Yorinobu's plan was would be complete. Apparently he just needed those two board members missing instead of dead.
Ori claps his hands off, "Alright, drinks?"
"Hell yeah, finally we're doing something!" Rebecca grins.
"Hey! Din't yar' mama ever tell ya' that litterin' was wrong!?"
...
The crew look over and spots a group of men stepping out from behind the bridge's abutment, onto the path overlooking the river... "Did you guys check if you were being followed...?" Ori questions.
"We did but, these goons must be new." Falco adds.
"Probably followed us when we entered the side street." Rebecca shrugs and hefts Guts 2.0: Zombie Style, "You guys just stand there for a sec!" she shouts over to them.
"I got it... Might as well test my new gear." Ori interjects as his Monowire slips out of his wrists and ties itself around the ring of the kunai on his belt. Once connects he tugs them to let them hang from the wire, electric sparking to life the next second. (They work like Whiplash's weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFBYy8PFxHg&ab_channel=TopMovieClips)
"What!? You think you're fuckin' slick with that chrome there-" the leader of the posse starts but doesn't get to finish as Ori whips his weapon forwards. The kunai's added weight allowed the Monowire to function as a more conventional whip, less controlled but far more powerful and with extra range.
The electrified whips slash through the air and cut the leader along with half of his group completely in two, sending the screaming men sprawling to the ground as the survivors look on with wide eyes.
The next swipe kills all but one, causing the last man standing to try and flee. Ori vanishes from his position and reappears behind the gangster however, wrapping the electrified Monowire circled around his neck ready to decapitate him.
A thin rivulet of blood seeps from a single small cut, causing Ori to sigh, "Sorry about that, this sandy's stronger than I'd thought..."
"P-Please let me go.. I dindunothin'!"
"No can do, I'll send you to your pals though." Ori says, sweeping the guy's foot out from under him, causing him to fall on the Monowire and decapitate himself. He retracts his Cyberware and turns to the rest of the crew, "How's that? Not too shabby?"
"Anything's 'not shabby' if you're against goons like that." Rebecca walks over and kicks one of the dropped budget arms guns, "Guys couldn't even afford a decent pistol."
"Too much showing off too." Sasha shrugs.
"Showing off? I killed them all in like, three seconds!" Ori playfully protests, as if he weren't standing amongst a dozen corpses.
"Which is long compared to usual." she retorts before looking up as a shadow descends towards them. Their Aerodyne limo was here.
"Ah, before we go can you guys dump the bodies in the river? I'd rather not have the pigs snooping around where we dumped the suits." Ori says as he climbs into the limbo and cracks open the provided champaign.
"You do it!" Rebecca exclaims, "You're the one who cut them into iddy-biddy bits!"
...
He holds out a fist, "Play for it?"
"Fine, you're on!"
""Rock, Paper, Scissors!""
"Nooooooo!"
"Rock is best." Ori sagely states, shooing Rebecca out the door.
"You'll regret this!"
"Better hurry up or you'll miss your show."
"GOD DAMN IT!"
