Now was the time for Doppler to Rest. He had gone from the fight arena. He wanted some time to reflect on the long range plan. Everyone knew that the tournament would not last forever. Things were moving swiftly. All of the first round winners had advanced. Some had even advanced to the second round. Many had died, but Doppler did not care about them.
Right now he cared about the money he was making.
He palmed a small black device from his coat pocket. Standing there, on the high balcony of Doppler Tower, he was alone.
The device was his comm-line, and he held it ready in his hand. His other arm was bent 90 degrees, and he watched his chronometer count down to 6 o'clock. As the watch hit 6 exactly, the comm rang. He thumbed the button, and put it up to his ear.
"Hello? Yes its me."
The voice on the other end of the line was low, and raspy.
"Are you sure this line is secure?", they asked.
"Do not ask me such questions. Our time is short."
"Do you have the money?"
"Do you have the device?", Doppler asked.
"Do you have the MONEY?", the voice asked again.
"Do YOU have the device?", Doppler persisted.
"Listen Doc. If you're trying to pull something--"
"I'm a little short, but it won't take long to get it."
"How short?", the voice asked.
"Fifty.", Doppler sighed.
"FIFTY!? This is unaccebtable. I think I may take my business somewhere else."
"Listen, you're not going to try and throw you weight around with me. Do you even know who you're dealing with?"
"I might ask you the same question." ,the voice cackled.
"WHAT?"
"You have 3 days. You get the money, an meet us at the rendezvous point. Come alone. OH, and Doppler?"
"Yes?"
"If you try and pull anything...", there was a pause, "then you can kiss your little present goodbye."
Doppler tried to say something, but the line was dead. Doppler shut that line off, and switched over to his internal network. He thumbed a button, and held the comm to his ear again.
"Bit, what did you get?"
"Nothing so far sir. That call was too obscure to trace."
"Obscure?"
"Yes sir. The source location. We cannot seem to pinpoint the origin. All we are getting is a very confusing pattern. I think it will take some time before we can decipher a pattern."
"Very well. I'll be in my quarters getting some rest. Call only if necessary.", Doppler ordered.
"Okay sir. But what should we do about X?"
"Mega Man X? Why?"
"Well, he won his match sir."
"So what! Alot of fighters are winning."
"That's not what I mean."
"Listen. Don't worry about X, he's my concern. In the meanwhile, continue as planned."
"Right sir."
"Oh, and Bit?"
"Sir?"
"We have 3 days...." (to be continued)
