Damned it..
A figure left the data port.This figure was evidently a cyber knight. Scars from battles and operations faded but still visible. Holstered at his hip is a Mars lightfire pistol; the very same he used when he arrived in the NBZ. Very little of this Knight was human. Gunlinks, bone grafts, dermal sheathing, all sorts.The only things left of his humanity were his Autism and his organs. Sure he'd chipped skills and some fancy implants but not the sort a top-notch knight would have. Didn't have the paperwork.
Amongst Blue Ox this knight was well known. Victor had been impressed; given the knight the Kings V-chip. That was the knights problem. The King wouldn't pay up. Wouldnt offer jobs.
Bullgod would change that. No matter what...

bullgod - awesome intro. Fragmented thoughts and flickers from a cracked Cyber Knight.

King is a Contact who will be added a little later as we build out the rest of the faction contacts.

[ncaoa]

Awsome story. +1 ;D. Hm. I never finished Victor's ladder.

Th-Chung, Th-Chung, Th-Chung.
Thrre shots from a rifle. Point blank.
This annoyed Bullgod. The assasin shouldnt have shot.
"Great...", he scowled at the Yazuka assasin."You want t' make my job any harder?"
The assasin didnt reply. He couldnt. A man had taken three shots point blank and was still alive. Bullgod shifted his weight to his back foot;the assasin didnt realise. With one lightning fast jab The assasin went down with a hole in his throat.
Bullgod wiped his cybernetic hand weapons on his dead assailants clothing.
After finishing the job at hand (and looting what he could from his dead enemies he went to the nearest dataport.
"King. Its Bullgod. Anyone else y' want dead?"
Finally Bullgod had got the King (also known as The Gentleman King) to offer jobs. Assasination missions only though. Not that Bullgod cared. He didnt know how theses jobs were taking him up the ladders that Victor said the King would help him up. He'd find out eventually...

Bullgod had got bored of assasinating for the King. He decided to head back to Brave Star. Bullgod had worked for Texas Powers before joining Blue Ox. He found it a change from killing all the time...

Bullgod went rogue. He'd used Blue-Ox, Brave Star and Los Val to get supplies. Data chips; and in Los Vals case a weapon. He was told its not available in shops. Kass Bad-eye had handed Bullgod a Street-King. A brutal club. Not that Bullgod could use it. He didn't know why. Maybe he shouldnt have it? Perhaps he doesnt have the paperwork. It doesnt matter anyway.
Roaming the NBZ Bullgod knows hes not on the good side of Knight Horizon. Still, it doesn't stop him. Working for anyone who offers a job; any job, any where, any price. For now..

I-93.
Bullgod knew he was being followed. He'd been followed for a while. He hadnt seen anyone inparticular but the implants in his brain sensed them.
Them. Not he not she not even a drone. A group of 5 were following him, they werent doing anything wrong.
Suddenly Bullgod sensed something. Ducking around the corner of the next building an instant before a crack sounded and a hole appeared in the wall on the opposite side of the alley Bullgod had ducked into. A hole at head hieght.
"Do ya thing I got him?" A cold sounding voice echoed around the area. Bullgod recognised the voice. He hoped he was wrong.
As a reply to the unanswered question Bullgod fired a blind shot from his Lightfire. The shot missed.
"A lively one eh?", the cold voice spoke."Well run, run, run as fast as ya can"
The taunt echoed. Bullgod fled. Deep trouble this was.
Finally Bullgod reached safety. Slamming the door shut of unit 4C Bullgod locked down the entire building and stayed below window level.
He made it.
Running a scan of the taunters voice against all voices stored in his memory chip his worst fears were confirmed. The taunter had used an X2-precison rifle. The taunter had 4 allies.
The taunter was The One-Hit-Wonder. A very deadly sniper; the very same sniper whod killed Bullgods Dad three years earlier....

Bullgod had gone back to the King. Good money for what it was.
It was getting close to 18:00 and Bullgod was in Liberty Square. He had lost the One-hit-Wonder several weeks ago but he allways had an eye open for any sign of the infamous sniper.
The One-hit-Wonder, also known as One-hit, was notorius for pinpoint accuracy taking enemies out with one shot. Not much was known about him but he often used runners. Many left. Most dead or "not needed", but he allways had his four "members" Three gunslingers, a hacker and a deadly sniper. The slingers were hired early and stayed with one hit. The hacker owed one hit his life after being saved from a brutal assault.
This was Bullgods enemy.
Leaving his safehouse/ hideout Bullgod headed of to the data terminal. It was a quiet walk. Noone was around. Catching sight of the terminal Bullgod saw a figure in the booth.
"Damned", snarled Bullgod.
He recognised the figure. A hacker. Walking silently to the terminal he scanned the area for anyone who'd cause problems. Noone.
Reaching the booth Bullgod reached over the hackers left shoulder and disconnected the hacker.
" What the-"
The hacker never finished the sentence.
Bullgod grabbed the hacker half way through their sentence, span them around and head butt the hacker hard on the bridge of his nose.
The hacker stumbled back in the booth, reaching for his assualt rifle, nose bloody and at an unnatural angle.
Bullgod wrenched the rifle from the hacker and kicked it accross the ground. Before the hacker could shout Bullgod had grabbed the hacker around the throat and pushed him as far back into the booth as possible.
The hacker looked terrified. Bullgod was in no mood for games and got straight to the point.
"Where is he?!"

To be continued (soon)...

[bullgod]

"where is he?!"
The hacker stammered "W-w-who?"
Bullgod snarled and banged the hackers head against the terminal "Your boss", he banged the hackers head again, "One hit".
The hacker winced at the sound of his boss' name.
"Tell me.." Bullgod growled.
The hacker smiled a grim, humourless smile "what about him?"
Bullgod banged the hackers head again at every word "Where. Is. He?"
The hacker smiled grimly again." Can' make me tell. So i won't"
Bullgod snarled and released the hackers throat, taking a step back he blocked the terminals exit, put one foot on the hackers discarded rifle and drew his pistol.
"I bet i can", Bullgod replied emotionlessly, as he took the safety off and aimed at the hackers left ankle. "Now answer. Or y' gonna be more lead than man."
The hacker whimpered in fear and a wet patch started to form around his crotch." I don't know!" he moaned.
Bullgod fired. A single shot ripped through the hackers ankle. Bullgod aimed at the hackers right ankle. "Well?"
The hacker scowled from his new position, on the floor. "I dont know!"
Bullgod scowled. "Heres the deal. You tell me what i need to know and you live. You lie and you die."
The hacker didnt reply. Bullgod knew why. He could see some shapes in the cracked glass of the booth.
"Damned." Slipping a pair of shock gloves on he punched the hacker, rendering the hacker unconcious. Turning around Bullgod found 3 Lightfires and an X-2 precision aimed at him. "Righ' then".
Bullgod lashed out catching the slingers in the throat electricuting them uncocious before they could attack. Turning to face the sniper hiself Bullgod noticed the siper had fled. "Great". Leaving the unconcious where they lay, Bullgod walked off...

Day 325

Things had got a worse in the NBZ.
Noone knew exactly what caused it but things were going down. Going down badly.
Blue-Ox and The Fennians were enemies. Everyone knew that. Brave Star and Knight Horizon hated each other. Mars and Aztec were in a bit of an arms struggle. The Streets hated all but themselves. The NBZ was a war waiting to happen.
Then it broke out.
A couple weeks back friction rose between Blue Ox and the Fennians.
A couple days later Blue Ox went offensive.
A small group snuck through the wall in Aztec territory and headed south. To the Fennians.
This group attacked anyone and everyone when they got into Irish turf. The Fennians chased them out and also went offensive.
Yakuza and K.H territory up the east of the zone was the battlefield.
Yazuka cracked down. But failed.
K.H cracked down. Down on Brave Star. They claimed Brave Star was at fault for the wall breach. K.H and Brave Star started fighting.
The Streets rioted. Even more than usual. They attacked the gates unsuccessfully and went after Los Val instead.
Yakuza and Yakishima also attacked Los Val.
Los Val attacked anyone outside their gang.
Mars and Aztec entered an arms race. Both trying to sell more weapons than the other.
Chaos..
This is what livened Bullgods day..

Day 325 (again)

Bullgod was in Boston Commons. He was in his penthouse safe house in a block of top end lofts.
With the wars going on Bullgod stayed low. Especially after hospitilising One hits hacker.
Theres was a noise downstairs. Someone kicking up a fuss.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Bullgods door visibly shook as someone tried breaking it down.
Slipping on his shok gloves (and dialing them down to stun not electrify people unconcious) he opened the door.
In one quick action Bullgod yanked the person through the door and punched him in the face. The force allowed Bullgod to shut the door and unarm the man without the man getting up. Discretly he tied two strong cords to the stunned mans feet, before picking him up and slamming him against the wall.
"Naughty, naughty. First you try and break my door then i find your armed" Bullgod scowled at the mans discarded weapon. Grabbing the man by the throat Bullgod took him to the open widow overlooking the front of the building.
"Why does your boss want me dead!?" Bullgod snarled. He knew the attacker and the attacker knew him.
"Ain' sayin'." the attacker spat. "An' you cant make me tell ya neither"
Bullgod smiled. "Cant I?"
With that Bullgod lifted the attacker and pushed him out of the window.
The chords snapped taut, halting the attackers fall. Even hanging upside down at the top of a tall building the attacker remained stubborn.
"I ain' tellin' ya!" he shouted. "Ya gonna be too dead t' do owt about it soon!"
Bullgod twigged. Ducking down below the window level the space above Bullgod was under fire.
To be continued...

[bullgod]

Continued...
Silence. The invisible gunners stopped firing. Bullgod, knowing how long it took for the attackers to reload, stood, aimed and fired three shots out of the window.
Below him the attacker hanging upside down moaned, his face beet red.
Bullgod ducked back below window level; shots from 3 rifles ripped through the open window, and collided with the far wall.
Silence.
During this short break Bullgod hoisted the attacker back into the building. Holding the man by the front of his shirt Bullgod put the attacker between the rifle men making Bullgod hard to hit without killing the captive.
"Tell me." Bullgod asked coldly.
The man couldnt answer. Half concious and with most his blood in his head he was too dazed to speak.
Dragging the semi-concious man to one side Bullgod chained him to the heavy table situated in the next room.

Ratttatarrattarrrattaratttrarttatataratat.

Rifle fire filled the space again. Keeping to the side Bullgod waited.

Knock knock knock.

Bullgod frowned. Someone was knocking on the door. His door.
There was someone knocking on Bullgods door, while Bullgod was being shot at.
The shooting stopped. The knocking didnt.
Edging to the door he opened it, stepped through and shut the door. Just as the rifles fire sounded on the other side.
Bullgod was in a corridor. A basic grey colour it wasnt of interest. The person was.
Bullgod didnt know who she was but stayed polite.
"Yes?" Bullgod asked innocently, "You knocked?"
The women nodded. "My names Amy." She said nervously, "I live downstairs and I thought i could hear gunshots. Is everything OK?"
Bullgod smiled, or at least tried to, he looked lke he was in pain when he smiled. That didnt really help. "No, everythings fine thanks."
Rifle fire sounded again. Several shots thudded into the door. Never the less, the women evidently didnt believe Bullgod.
"Whats that then?" she asked.
Bullgod waved a dismissive hand "nothing. Anything else?"
"Yes", the women nodded, "Why was a guy hangig upside down outside my window?"
Bullgod frowned, feigning innocence. "There was?"
The woman nodded. "If it wasnt you ill leave then?" she offered.
Bullgod nodded. "Thanks"".
Before she could react Bullgod entered his penthouse again, briefly showingthe inside, before the women left.

Meanwhile, on the roof of the SCI-Arc Reactor tech building across the road from the block of high end lofts..

"He's back".
Crouching behind a pile of scrap were three men. The man in the middle was the infamous sniper himself, armed with his X-2 precision he was the leader of the others. The two either side were armed with Scout Carbomag rifles. All three men were laying on their stomachs with the weapons aimed at Bullgods window.
Without speaking all three men opened fire. The gunslingers shots sprayed the window with shots while the X-2 fired the occasional shot.

Back in Bullgods apartment...

Bulgod was sat below window level with a double barrelled shotgun. The shotgun was fully loaded, the gunslinger tied to Bullgods table hadnt used it. Bullgod had a plan. The shotgun, whilst not accurate, would be sufficeint.
