Neo Tokyo: 12 Midnight
As Dr. Doppler, and Vile cruise around the slums of Neo Tokyo, thier guide, the arms dealer known as Crescent Grizzly, takes them to thier destination. A large, underground warehouse is where the parts for the enigma beam cannon are being held. The city is bursting with activity. Millions of people, and reploids race to and fro under the glow of the city's neon lights.
"Grizzly, how much further?", Doppler scolded. CG kept a brisk pace, as he led them away from the air speeder platform, and made his way into the slums. He moved fast. It was amazing to see, despite his girth, and size. His speed was meant not to lose them, but to at least frustrate them. It was doing it's job. Grizzly had picked up the pace, forcing them to break out into a full run. Vile was not happy! He began to suspect something. Grizzly wasn't leading them to the Enigma! He was leading them away form it. Or at least...he was leading them into a trap!
Just then, Grizzly ran down to the end of an alley, and slammed a locked door behind him. He was gone! Just then, a bunch or particularly mean looking Reploids came out of no where!
"Excuse me, but you two ladies are tresspassing on Green Diamond Territory.", one of the Reps said.
Vile's eyes narrowed to slits. They could be seen as a bright red glow coming out of his helmet.
"What's it to us?", Doppler asked. "Do you snivelling worms have a problem with that?
"As a matter of fact we----UGH!!" Vile interrupted him with a sucker punch to the gut. "Enough talk! YOU DIE...NOW!"
Vile seethed. His fist was met by a collective cry of, "Get them!"
...time passes...after a large series of noise, fists, weapon's going off, and explosions, Crescent Grizzly looks on stunned. The door that he was hiding behind had been blown off the hinges, and Vile was outside waiting for him. "Care to explain yourself?" ,Dr Doppler asked from outside the building.
"What? I...I...I didn't know that was going to happen..." , Grizzly said. His voice was shaky. Vile could not hold back his anger. He grabed a sharp, and nastly looking blade from his side, and gripped it hard in his right hand. Holding it facing down, he brought his arm up, and locked his elbow at 90 degrees. The blade slashed through Grizzly's eye. It shorted out, and exploded. Vile started to bring the knife around for another blow, but Doppler subdued him.
"Vile! Enough. Let that be a lesson to you Grizzly. If you cross me again, you'll lose more than an eye. No more delays. Take us to the Enigma. NOW!"
Having no choice, he led them to the secret warehouse where the parts were kept. Grizzly knew he could get his eye repaired, or replaced. Even still, he was angry that his trap had failed. Half of the money he had gotten from Doppler was used to pay those thugs. Now, it looked like he'd be fortunate to get out of this transaction with his life. He'd heard it said before, but he never felt the full scope of it until now. As he pulled himself off the ground, he muttered...."This deal is getting worse all the time."
