《The Network》[Chapter 7] Fight

~POV change[Felix]~
It's because I want the sweet sweet experience!
I don't care about the girl, I just want a reason to start a fight.
"Are...are you insane?" The red-haired guy that I'm just going to call the leader for now hissed
He covered his eyes with his hand and sighed, then bellowed -
"Just kill him already!"
The 8 guys got off their bikes and the closest one to me drew a knife and rushed me.
He lifted his arm above his head and slashed down
Time slowed down. Just for a moment.
I jumped to the side, dodging his attack, and threw a straight punch right across his jaw
He staggered and spat a mouthful of blood before coming at me again
"DIEEEEE!"
I smiled and easily maneuvered away from his second attack, his moves were sluggish and drunk.
I proceeded to deliver a low kick to his knee cap
SNAP!
He tried to scream but I was quick to react and covered his mouth with my hand, positioned my right leg behind
his right, and pushed down with all my strength.
He tripped and his skull smacked against the concrete floor with both his and my weight down on him.
CRACK!
He stopped moving.
Congratulations! You have killed an enemy, experience rewarded.
I looked up at the rest of his group and tried to act as badass as I could.
"Who's next?"
Everyone wore a stoic expression on their faces, not because they were uninterested or because it was boring. But because their brains couldn't comprehend the information that they had received.
The kid...killed a guy...with his bare hands...in under 20 seconds.
The only one not dumbfounded by the situation was the leader.
He grinned and did a slow clap, the sound echoing in the silence, the only other sound was the fire quietly crackling in the background.

"So...you are a cold-hearted killer like myself."
I felt like throwing up, I was barely maintaining my composure.
I killed a guy...again!
Sure, it was mainly due to adrenaline and my [skill]...but still!
The leader came closer to me and asked
"Would you like to be part of my group?... We are one man short." He glanced over at the corpse of his former member.
"...What about me killing your...friend?" I answered.
"...Well...he's already dead...and I want stronger members of my crew." He replied
I stared at him.
I killed his member...and he didn't even flinch.
He's dangerous...not to mention cruel
I rubbed my chin, pretending to think it over."How about...no?
His demeanor didn't change in the slightest
"Oh well...that's sad to hear."
He sighed dramatically
"Well...at least do me this last favor...die for me."
My heart skipped a beat.
I start to feel movement from under me and in a split second, a metal spike protrudes from the ground. I narrowly dodge it, but it managed to cut my cheek.
I backflip away from the danger.
I gaze up at him.
Dozens of metal blades and sharp metal debris are suspended around him. With a pushing gesture, all of them fly at me at high speeds.
His face retorted into a sick grin.

8 189Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
