"Come on dude." Dreadwing started to shamelessly beg. "I really like this mechanic, I don't want to lose him."
"Alright, alright..." Jevil could only agree to this request. It might be good to have Dreadwing to stay on debt with him. "I'll try doing a few things. Let's see if it will work."
"Oh yes!" Dreadwing cheered as he threw his wings up in the air. "Thanks, man. I owe you one."
With that Dreadwing ended up the call.
Jevil sighed in relief. [Peace... Finally peace.]
"Master, we have another call incoming."
Jevil's face froze. [What the hell is going on today!? Can I have some peace?]
"Who's it?" Jevil coldly asked. He was unhappy now, really unhappy.
The pilot trembled all over when he heard Jevil's tone of voice. "I-it's Asra Nox..."
"Hmm?" Jevil was slightly surprised. [She's already calling me? So soon? Looks like she really is inpatient.]
Jevil turned the hologram projector on again.
Soon, the call was connected. With flash of blue light a humanoid holographic figure appeared in front of Jevil.
"Hello, Jevil..." The figure greeted with her stern and cold voice.
"Asra, how have you been lately?" Jevil asked with a polite smile on his face.
After a few seconds, the call stabilized. The holographic figure changed and showed Asra's real appearance.
She was a middle-aged woman with short black hair and small, but sharp black eyes. She was slim and almost 1.85 meters tall, but her atmosphere and aura make her feel more towering and older than she looks. She didn't had some developed bust and waist, and lacked almost any feminine charm. She was wearing some purple, tight militaristic outfit with metal shoulder pads and some medals on the chest.
She was completely expressionless when she looked at Jevil.

[This woman... She have more presence and aura than even the most battle-scarred veteran.] Jevil couldn't help but be amazed every time he sees her. Her stern and strict attitude, her cold and merciless temperament. She was one of the few people Jevil felt some kind of pressure.
He had met all kind of people. Veterans, generals and even Race Leaders. All of them pale in comparison with Asra, even Leda Portia and Esther Bright weren't as imposing as she was.
"Not very good." She answered. "The Letheia Corporation Has started doing some very... Annoying actions around here."
"Hehehehe..." Jevil grinned. "Now that the Terrene Protectorate is out of the way, it was bound to happen, wasn't it?"
"Even when they were in the way." Asra indifferently smiled. "The Terrene Protectorate was already a dying organization. Luckily for them, they were destroyed before their image went completely to the drain."
"Yeah, yeah. So... What made you call me today?" Jevil asked.
"Our meeting. I think you shouldn't have forgotten about it, right?" Her eyes sharpened as he stared at Jevil.
Jevil casually smiled as he was being stared by Asra. "No, I haven't. In fact, I just got a few things that you might be very interested in."
"Oh... You really make me curious now." A slight smile surfaced in her cold and stiff face.
"Hehehehe... I don't know if you're going to like it or hate it. It makes me curious to see your reaction when it's time." Jevil tried to tease the stern militaristic woman.
"That was all..." Asra's face returned to become expressionless. "I see you in 5 days." And with her last phrase the call ended.
When he saw that Asra's hologram image fade his smile disappeared without a trace from his face. Only coldness and hatred remained on his expression.

[Asra Nox... One day, I'll personally kill you.] His eyes stayed glued at the place where the hologram once was. [But... Not soon. I need you to eliminate the number one in my kill list first, the Black Star Syndicate.]
He turned around and left the Briefing Room.
His lonesome shadow stretched out on the cold metal floor of the ship.
His past... Was very dark and filled with blood.
His hatred went beyond one or two organizations.
He was abandoned by the world, by the universe.
Now, he's out for revenge, and he will do anything on his power to accomplish his goals.
He was... A mad man, a Harbinger of Chaos.
...
Lenny stood by the Healing Pod.
He watched as John was slowly submerged in a red liquid that was filling up the glass tank.
Some small robotic arms appeared from the Healing Pod and started to enter inside John's wound and retrieved the armor and bullet fragments from inside his body.
"This will do..." Lenny took one last glance at the machine and saw that the timer was set to finish the operation in 2 hours.
Lenny walked way and returned to his room.
He glared at himself at the mirror.
His hat and left sleeve were completely destroyed at the fight with Oscar. His clothes and armor pieces at some important parts of his body were all dirty and messy from rolling and jumping around in the dirt of the forest.
He took off his clothes and entered inside the shower.
When he finished showering he retrieved some new cowboy clothes from inside Oscar's PIPS.
This time the clothes weren't light brown, but black this time. In fact, it weren't really clothes, but a very thin armor made of leather, cotton and Titanium strings. The overall armor was rated Tier 3, but the protection was a lot lesser than most of other generic armors from the same Tier.
The armor was called the Outlaw's Set. A very thematic and popular style of armor for Novakids.
He wore the armor and looked at himself at the mirror.
[Looking good...] He narcissistically smiled.
When he took one more look at Oscar's PIPS he saw a very old cowboy hat.
He retrieved it and stared.
[You still have it...] Lenny's hand trembled as he touched at the old texture of the hat.
This was a gift from Starkid to Oscar.
Starkid also gave one to Lenny.
It was when they were just little kids and were under the Starkid Outlaw Group's wings.
Lenny sadly sighed. Time wouldn't go back, it doesn't matter how many times someone wish for it to happen.
He took everything from Oscar and the soldiers' PIPS on his own.
"Hm?" Lenny looked at the chip in his hand. It completely blue with some golden details in it. "A tech chip?" Lenny looked at the words engraved in the chip, it was written 'Barrier Tech Ability'.
Lenny also took an armor set, two weapons, a few other things from the PIPS.
"This armor..." Lenny glanced at the armor set in front of him. "I remember he took from that USCM base. Why would he still carry such thing." Lenny shook his head. "John will need this more than me." Lenny stared at the items in front of him. "After all, it's time for us to go on our own ways..."
Lenny took one last look at the John's ship. "Well... May we meet again, John." With those words he activated the ship's teleporter and beamed to his own ship that he was able to retrieve from Oscar's belongings.
