Location = DRAGON KILLER CLAN'S BASE

Time = STABLE

Mind = STABLE

You look at Mandeep. All the scars are still there while the body has regenerated completely.

Mandeep: Hey!!!

You: What is it?

Mandeep: I will go with you too.

You: Are you stupid? In this condition?

Mandeep: I can control myself.

You: We can't risk it. Just stay here we will be fine.

Mandeep: I told you to let me go with you too?

You: When I say NO it is a NO.

Mandeep: Hey soldier Adam and you the recruit help me. I am you, leader.

Both soldier: Sorry sir, But we are here to protect you. So we can't allow that.

Mandeep: I am the leader who follows my Command.

Adam: Sir please understand this is our duty.

Mandeep: Alright then just go then.

You leave the room. You meet Carle and Anne planing the mission.

Carle: ok then we are done here. Are you ready or not?

You: Yeah I am ready. I was just taking care of our little Mandeep problem. He said he wants to go to the mission too.

Carle: What did you say?

You: No way he is going on this mission.

You and Carle take a ship to go to Nx-11 as many murder cases were reported there in the last few days.

You: If our intel is right then this place is our best bet.

Carle: I hope it is.

As you leave for the Nx-11 galaxy. Mandeep manages to unlock himself. He sneaks behind the guard and escapes without getting anyone alert. Then In midway, he finds Anne.

Mandeep: [ This is bad if she sees me then I am d-]

Anne: Mandeep.

Mandeep:[ And she saw me great ]

Anne: What are you doing here?

Mandeep: [ What should I say? What is the aroma? Is it food? ]

Anne: Mandeep answers me.

Mandeep looks at Anne. His mouth starts to water. He walks toward her.

Mandeep: Anne, I just want a small bite from your beautiful flesh.

Without hesitation, Anne exposes her arm and offers it to Mandeep. This action brings him back into control.

Mandeep: I am sorry, Anne.

He gives her a hug controlling himself.

Anne: I want to come with you.

Mandeep: ok, I have no problems.

He causes fake alerts in the living quarters to distract the guards. He also changes to his original form Now looking like a machine with a huge red light like an eye.

Mandeep: let's go, Anne.

He enters the armory and takes a combat suit to cover his body completely. Now looking even scarier

He takes a ship to start the stealth system and the ship starts to move toward Nx-11.

Anne: It will take 2 hours.

Mandeep: Open the hatch.

Anne: Opening the hatch. What are you planning?

Mandeep: Something that will make us go faster.

Mandeep aims his laser toward space and fires his laser cannon on overdrive.

Cooms on

Anne: With this speed, it will take us 45 minutes.

Mandeep: Can we beat them?

Anne: Yes.

Mandeep: That's great.

You reach the Nx-11 galaxy. You land on the Pharvis PS73. It the time of day but the planet doesn't get any light from its star. The reflector is used to heat the whole planet. Forming a ring around it the planet still has a night like lighting.

You: Where are they, Carle?

Carle: There is a passage in the alleyway over there that leads to their base.

You walk toward the hallway as you hear screams.

Cooms on

UNKNOWN SOLDIER: Sir, he escaped.

You: He escaped? How long ago?

UNKNOWN SOLDIER: About 1 hour 15 minutes from now.

You: Why did you take this long to inform?

UNKNOWN SOLDIER: We were checking the ship when we found he was mission there was a small fire in the living quarters.

You: Alright.

Cooms off.

Carle: What happened?

You: That idiot manages to escape. It must be him lets move quickly.

Carle: Okay.

In the alleyway, you see bodies torn apart some fully eaten while some untouched. The whole ally is full of blood and guts.

You: He is slaughtering everyone.

Carle: But that was the plan right?

You: What if he killed the woman too?

Carle: That will be bad news. Let's find the woman before he does.

Meanwhile.

Mandeep: Anne I think this is not safe for you. You should join them.

Anne: Why I want to help you?

Mandeep: I know bu-

Mandeep hears the sound of a scream.

Mandeep: He's here. Anne, please get back to the ship I will be fine.

Anne: No I want to help you. That why I am here.

Mandeep: Alright but please don't get hurt.

Anne: I promise.

Mandeep and Annes move through alleyways and find a door at the end. Mandeep kick opens the door. In front of him is a palace-like room with two stairs leading upward and at the top Jessica is standing. In front of him, you and Carle are standing.

You look at him.

You: Finally found you dumbass.

Mandeep: Anne helps them. I take care of the woman.

Anne joins you and Carle. A mob of thugs surrounds you. You take out the katana and start to slash them. While carle dismember the head of the thugs. Anne is helping them too to fight she take out her blades and start to slice the thugs.

The thugs are preset underpowered compared to you three. But as you finish another mob of armored thugs comes to join the fight.

Mandeep climbs the pillar to reach the upper floor and avoids the whole fight.

Mandeep: Are you ready to die? JESSICA.

As he says that she escape into another room. As Mandeep enters the room he activates a shotgun trap and gets blasted. The trap shot him from behind he falls on his back.

As he tries to stand up Jessica digs her claw right into his back and sends an electric shock pocket into his system.

Jessica: I knew that you will fell for the trap. Now let's continue from where we left my precious Mandeep.

Mandeep: No please don't eat me. HA HA HA HA. You take me for a fool, don't you.

Mandeep starts to stand up Jessica can't believe this.

Mandeep: Last time we met don't you though that I will fix his issue.

Mandeep than grab her by the neck and pick her up from the ground.

Jessica unable to breathe begs for her life.

Jessica: Please don't kill me.

Mandeep: Then what about me? What about the pain I suffered? For 2 hours you ate me alive. I couldn't EVEN SCREAM.

Jessica: If I didn't have done that they would have killed me.

Mandeep: Who?

Jessica: The government.

Jessica: Please don't kill me. I do anything. You can do the same what I did to you just don't kill me. If not that then take my body. But please didn't kill me.

Hearing this He releases her.

Mandeep: I am not that low of a being.

Mandeep: Now tell me the names, places, whatever you know?

Jessica: All I know is about Dr. Stiner.

Mandeep: what else?

Jessica: Nothing.

Mandeep: That's it?

Jessica: Yes.

Mandeep: The solution for this virus.

Jessica: I don't know about it.

Mandeep: What you don't know about it. [ Midi, check if she is the source]

Midi: [ She is not she is just like you.]

Mandeep: Alright then Dr. Stiner must have it. Now you turn around.

Jessica: Why?

Mandeep: Remove your dress.

Jessica: What? But you said you are not like that.

Mandeep: Just do it.

As he removes the dress from her back. Mandeep takes out his claw and slashes the woman's back.

Mandeep: This is for what you did to me.

Jessica stays silent.

Mandeep: As I respect humans I let you live.

Jessica starts to cry.

And then the door opens You with Carle and Anne rush inside.

You see Jessica half-naked and Mandeep standing near.

The two of you: What the fuck, Mandeep?

Carle: oh my god this is traumatizing. I think I will puke.

You: What the hell? You are doing this here.

Anne: At least you could have told me.

Everyone looks at Anne with there eyes wide open.

Mandeep: It's not how it looks.

Carle: That's what you all men say in a situation like this.

You: Hey don't get all men involved in this he did it not everyone is like this.

Mandeep: I didn't do it either.

Carle: Ah you disgust me Mandeep. I thought you were better than this.

You: Hey you Jessica or whatever your name is what were you doing here?

Jessica: Talking.

Carle: Talking while naked.

Mandeep: STOP THIS. It's not like this look at her back I was just taking revenge.

You: There is nothing.

Mandeep: She must have regenrated.

Carle: You are such a prevent. Now I see why you gave me those looks in the past.

Mandeep: Hey now that's too much.
