2 Weeks Later

Vermilion City Scrapyard

Theo was painfully aware that he was a person filled with hypocrisy and contradictions.

At his very core, he had great respect and deep love for humanity

500 years ago, us humans were a bunch of illiterate farmers stuck in the Middle Ages.

Yet in 5 short centuries, we were able to develop means that allowed us to fly, to travel great distances, to communicate with someone on the other side of the world without much delay, to cure diseases that were once thought incurable.

Theo was excited for what humanity was going to do next, and would gladly support whatever endeavors that may advance our species even farther.

Now here’s the contradiction.

Despite his love for humanity, he has done nothing but slaughter humans. Even more ironic was that he enjoyed doing it.

While he does have a good excuse, which was to destroy the evil in order to protect the good, he knew deep in his heart that his bloodbaths hardly contributed to humanity’s advancement as a whole.

Despite this knowledge, he knew he would never stop.

Cleaning up shit was not a glorious job but someone has to do it. And since he was skilled at it, Theo might as well do it.

Now, here’s the dilemma.

There were 2 types of cancer in the modern world.

First were the criminal scums.

Theo found these were easy to deal with. Just point and shoot.

The second were the law abiding scums.

Theo found them extremely difficult to deal with because they broke no laws to speak off, yet the damage they do was significantly more catastrophic than your regular scum.

They were regular citizens with a dangerous combination of over inflated sense of moral superiority and an almost mythical levels of stupid.

Politicians, insane activists, delusional teenagers, unsatisfied office works that just want to belong, the works.

And the most frustrating part was that Theo was unable to just rush up to them and put a bullet in their head.

This was exactly what Theo had to deal with at the moment.

Theo, along with Juno and a couple of her handpicked bodyguards, sat on top of a mountain of scrapped cars near the border where his neighborhood, the downtown district and the scrapyard converged ever so slightly.

Due to the sheer size of the scrapyard, Theo’s group was unable to completely secure it. At the moment, the only areas that were completely under their control were his factory, the road that connected his factory to his neighborhood, and the land he newly ‘acquired’ in the 9th of Hell Hole’s Districts.

It may look like quite a bit of area from a layman’s perspective, but it was but a speck compared to the scrapyard.

At the moment, it was literally impossible to impose a truly secure perimeter over his land.

This particular area was one of them.

A group of about 500 individuals were entering the scrapyard via a broken fence. In all intents and purposes, they were legally trespassing on Theo’s private property.

In short, they were criminals.

But this was not what gave Theo so much internal turmoil.

The thing that pissed off Theo to high heavens could be seen in the signs they held and the chants their delusional mouths were spouting.

‘Criminals are Humans Too!’

‘Justice to the 3000!’

‘Theodore Lorne has commited mass murder!’

‘Humans rights are for everyone! No exceptions!’

And some other crap along those lines.

In short, they were ignoring the fact that a large number of criminals just made an attempt on Theo’s life and painted him as a mass murdering nutjob that killed thousands of innocent lives.

“This is unbelievable.” said Theo as he buried his face in his palms

“Oh my. Is my beloved master being intimidated by a bunch of mentally retarded social rejects?” asked the maid clad Juno while she hugged Theo from behind.

As per her usual sexual harassment , she made sure to press her generous front bumpers into his back while showering him with light kisses and the occasional lick.

By this time, Theo has pretty much surrendered on stopping Juno.

It does get annoying though.

The demon blade Sexcalibur between his legs was lusting for battle. However, Theo forced down the clamor for war and powered through the tempation like an enlightened monk.

This was most certainly not the time for his almost hourly milking.

“Intimidated? Not really. I’m just appalled at what I’m seeing here.” replied Theo.

Upon hearing Theo’s words, one of the 4 disturbingly beautiful maid-clad bodyguards personally led by Juno knelt in front of him, hugged one of his legs and gently caressed his thighs in an erotic manner.

“My lord, do these fools displease you?” asked the big boobed ponytail maid with the serial number EM19

“Are they an eyesore my lord?” asked the lolita-ish EM22 as she dove into Theo’s chest and began rubbing her DFC against his.

“Should we destroy them for you my lord?” asked the MILF looking EM09 as she rubbed her holy grail against one of his knees.

“Tell us what you desire my lord. Your command is our dearest wish” said the twintail tsundere looking EM01 as she licked and suck the fingers in Theo’s right hand.

And just like any normal guy of his age, a certain part of Theo’s body was rock hard.

However, Theo unleashed his inner Gandhi and resisted the temptation.

“No. Leave them be.” replied Theo

“””~Awwww~””” complained the maids + Juno in unison.

As if to punish Theo for taking away their fun, the maids + Juno intensified their sexual harrassment.

Now you’re probably wondering, who were these maid-clad beauties?

Ever since the beginning stages of Theo’s ‘recruitment’ drive for the Reformant Units, Juno has expressed the desire to create a unit that could be considered as his faction’s ‘Best of the Best’.

They were to have the absolute best training, the absolute best equipment and Juno desired them to be the most feared unit of Theo’s budding military.

Apparently, this was the main reason why Juno volunteered to oversee the ‘recruitment’ and training of the entire Reformant Units.

The selection process fairly long and drawn out, but about 1 week prior to the Valkyrie Incident, her efforts paid off in spades.

Out of the 1500 (and increasing) individuals in Theo’s Reformant Units, Juno was able to pick up 90 with high potential in various fields of warfare.

Juno called this unit ‘Eisenritter’.

Why was she using Aeserian rather than Commonwealth Basic?

Her justification was that because Aeserian made it sound sexier.

Out of those 90, Juno was able to gather 25 individuals (who were all women for some reason) that met all of the ridiculous secret criteria of hers.

First, Highly skilled in Melee Combat

Second, Near perfect compatibility with Theo’s cybernetics

Third, and most importantly, Have displayed signs (no matter how minor) of compatibility with more than one branch of power.

They already know that it was possible to mix the branches of power together due Theo and Nichola’s Technosorcery Mind Control.

The 25 individuals would serve as an experimental unit to further understand the potential of mixing the 3 branches of power AKA the Brown Theory.

The last criteria of Juno’s Elite of the Elite unit was unwavering loyalty to Theo.

She was very vague on how she measured the ‘loyalty’ of these 25, however, Theo only had to access the cybernetics in the brains of the 25 to discover what's what.

Apparently, the 25 had very intense lust for Theo to the point of unhealthy levels of obsession.

The common thread among the 25 was that they often spent a few hours a day using Theo as their fap material.

This super elite group was called the ‘Eisenmadchen’, and it was essentially Juno was making copies of herself.

The 25 were indeed powerful, and this was when they had the same cybernetics as the rest of the Reformant units.

1 day prior to the Valkyrie Incident, they started receiving the highest level of upgrades they could possibly endure. And for some reason, Juno insisted that their outer appearance had to be as beautiful as possible.

Why?

Who knows.

While Theo had quite a handful of complaints about the Eisenmadchens, Juno’s questionable methods produced tangible and irrefutable results.

One recently implemented ‘training’ method was a simple reward system where the best performer gets to have hardcore sex with Theo for one night.

This was the main reason why the Eisenmadchens were eagerly pushing Theo to order them to annihilate the protestors. This was a chance to show of their stuff after all.

Anyways, back to the present.

“Alright alright. Everyone get off me. I can see a news chopper on the horizon.” said Theo

The maids obeyed but didnt bother hiding their lustful gazes.

“As you wish, but you still haven't answered my question. Why are you so stressed out with a bunch of fools?” asked Juno who went back to her perfect maid roleplay

“Oh that. You already know what’s going to happen when a bunch of defenseless sheeps walk into a den of hungry lions. I was wondering if I should go save them or not.” said Theo with a sigh.

“The answer is obvious. Let the sheeps die. They intruded into an area legally yours without your consent. That’s breaking and entering. They call you idiotic things that has already been proven false since the Valkyrie incident. That’s slander. They willingly entered an area they and everyone knows is filled with evil beings that will kill them the first chance they get. You have no reason to save criminals being killed by criminals” said Juno with a gentle smile and eyes completely devoid of mercy.

The other maids shared Juno’s sentiments, thought they had a harder time hiding their twisted nature.

“Even if they have never harmed me directly?” asked Theo

“A rhetorical question that you already know the answer. The largest shackles that prevents humanity to rise to their rightful place are humans like them” replied Juno

Theo couldn't help but groan in response at the reaffirmation of what he already knew was true. Throughout history, it has been proven that humanity has always engineered its own downfall.

Why else would criminals repeatedly enter and exit prison despite repeating the same crime over and over again?

Wouldn't executing such filth save more lives?

Ironic how the fiercest advocates of human rights indirectly support those who violate said rights.

Kindness alone will not make the world a better place.

And as is if to confirm Theo’s resolve to do whatever it takes to advance humanity, gunshots and inhumane roars echoed throughout the scrapyard

“~Here they come~” said Juno in bloodthirsty glee.

One of the EM01 placed a laptop on Theo’s thigh. This laptop displayed a live feed from a couple of spydrones hiding near the protestors.

While Theo and the Eisenmadchens didn't need it since they can directly access the spydrones directly via their cybernetics, Juno was very much 100% human… despite the fact that her actions often pointed to the contrary.

The protestors assailants were comprised of a couple of the larger groups that Theo’s forces had many run ins with.

There were the Flesh Artists, MadMaxers and Necrophages.

The Flesh Artists sent their Flesh Golems to gather up new ‘materials’ for their new works. With rusty chains with bloody hooks at their end, the Flesh Golems gathered up any as many as they could and locked them in cages.

The Flesh Artists then healed whatever injuries the protestors sustained from their ‘violent recruitment’.

But this was not out of kindness.

Based on what Theo knew about the Flesh Artists, the protestors would end up in a fate so much worse than death as one of their ‘arts’.

The MadMaxers a little more straight forward reason .

After repeated run ins with Theo’s forces, their numbers have dwindled quite a lot.

As such, they were currently performing a ‘recruitment’ drive.

The male protestors would be used as frontline soldiers *cough* cannon fodder *cough* while the women would be used as ‘entertainment’ and ‘stress relief’.

And last but not the least, were the mutant Necrophages.

Their mission was even more straightforward than the MadMaxers.

They just want to eat.

Theo’s ‘recruitment’ drive was drying up the Necrophage food supply at an astonishing rate. To make matters worse, Theo’s forces actively hunted down and annihilated the Necrophages.

As such, the Necrophages were starving to the point of mind breaking hunger.

Be it protestors, MadMaxers or Flesh Artists, they would eat them all.

Thus a mindless 3 way battle ensued.

The protestors tried to reason with the 3 factions with ‘We’re doing this protest to protect your rights!’, but the dialogue quickly ended when the speaker’s upper body was suddenly 10 meters away from his lower body.

And all this carnage was caught in camera by the many news choppers flying around the scene.

All in all, it was just another normal uneventful day in the Vermilion City Scrapyard.
