Self-control - A way to take into account of one's emotions. Keeping calm even in the stickiest of situations.

Third person view.

Date: October 7, 2080

Location: Zone 10 - Neuron HQ

Time: Day

Narrator: Zone 10. Also known as the "Government Zone". Home to the many industrial economic personal and high officials that run Ark. Located in Zone 10, places the Ark National Police Headquarters and the Special Ops Bureau HQ located below the main building itself, better known as; Neuron. In the Command Room, showed many officers at work on their computers filing reports.

The scene freezes for a moment and Soejammy and Neptune pop up. Soejammy has a look of being confused as Neptune is smiling happily.

Soejammy: A Narrator?? There was no script for one...

Neptune: Well, I did tweak some of the writing and decided to put an actual person to help tell the story for once. Can't be writing everything in description really.

Soejammy: Okay... But why a Narrator...?

Neptune: If you think about it, Astral Chain is just another reference to JoJo. You even mentioned to your friends on how one of the Legions is like-

Narrator: Before Neptune could speak, Soejammy quickly picks up a pie and throws it into Neptune's face! Quickly silencing her and giving her a nutritious treat while at it.

Neptune pulls the pie out of her face and licks some of it with her tongue.

Neptune: Mmmm~ Pudding flavor~ Thanks Narrator!

Narrator: You are welcome!

Soejammy facepalms and sighs about what just happened.

Soejammy: Okay. We'll keep the Narrator for the chapter. See if the audience would want more like this.

Narrator: Soejammy questions the usefulness of the powerful Narrator, but allows the stunning voice actor to do his job. Even if Soejammy is a cheapskate.

Soejammy looks up as he raises his fist into the sky and shakes it.

Soejammy: Hey!! I am not a cheapskate!! F**k you, David Vincent! The Narrator who does the narration for the JoJo series in English!

(A/N): (I don't really mean it. I love this guy as the Narrator as he also voiced as the Male Robin in Fire Emblem. Best actor for both parts if you ask me.)

Neptune begins by trying to pull Soejammy out of the shot and talks to the Narrator.

Neptune: Good luck! Hope the audience loves you!

Narrator (David Vincent): I'll do my best!

When time unfreezes, every person in the Command Room begins to resume their duties. The Narrator clears his throat and resumes to narrate.

Narrator (David Vincent): In the Command Room; Samuel, Akira, Alicia and Jin who stood at attention in a line next to each other. In the Commander's seat, sat Olive Espinosa. A former television newscaster turned operator as support. But under circumstances, she now leads as Commander due to her achievements in many cases in providing additional support. She has long pink hair, a black skirt that goes to her thighs, black laced pumps and a white shirt with black mesh lining at her stomach, and sleeves. Only difference was the fact that she wore a white coat to assume her position in her status as Commander. On her left ear held an earpiece that allowed her to communicate with any squads and help relay information quickly while wearing an earring one her right. She is currently reading the report given to her about Logan Young.

Olive Espinosa

Olive: So, from what I understand is that this is the person who's been stealing supplies in Zone 09 for months?

Jin steps forward and gives a nod to confirm what Olive said.

Jin: Yes. From the other officers there, they would find crates left open and see that supplies had been taken. From the theft a couple nights ago, Mr. Young had acquired two pieces of our equipment. The IRIS system and the Legatus for the Claw Legion.

Olive sighed and looked to Alicia for any confirmation.

Alicia: With having that equipment, and us searching for it, he played us for fools also. When seeing we had IRIS tech to see where people were through the walls, he planned out his escape while playing off anything that caused suspicion. When he made his move, the rat made quick use of our guard being down to try and run.

Akira: Not only that, but he had even input data to the Legatus to sync himself to the Legion. The Claw Legion was able to fend off the attacks the Arrow Legion can fire, but fled the scene when more than one Legion came into the fight. We learned that this Legion can open portals and teleport to different areas.

Olive seemed impressed about the Claw Legion's abilities as Samuel gave his final report.

Samuel: But despite all of that, there does seem to be something else about him. A video of that day shows Young being in a fight when a couple were being attacked. No officers were in the area when it began. As for the matter of the chimera attack though, some people have gone missing and are probably stuck in the Astral Plane.

Olive closed her eyes and sighed at hearing that.

Olive: Is that all to the report?

Samuel: Not yet ma'am. As for Young...

Samuel uses his Legatus to bring up security feeds of Young sneaking around with Jack and Marinette while trying to communicate with them.

Samuel: Even though he is a thief, he stayed with these two civilians during the chimera attack. Due to him being linked to the Legion, our cameras show that he pushed the two out of the way before a big one could land on them. That means he is completely aware of what he was seeing in front of him at the time.

Olive: And what of the two?

Samuel: The two were with Mr. Young when he was helping them out from the thugs, all the way up to them getting to safety. If Mr. Young hadn't stayed, they could have been taken to the Astral Plane had he not intervened.

Akira looked at Samuel and raised an eyebrow.

Akira: (What is he doing??)

Samuel: If I can direct you to the screens...

Samuel pushes some buttons as it shows Logan's Legion defending him from the big chimera and then head over to protect Jack and Marinette and allow them to escape.

Samuel: Mr. Young could have chosen to flee to save himself, but instead saved the two caught in this mess with him. He has motives for his actions, but motives not strong enough to leave someone in danger of being killed.

The scene plays out as Logan stays behind to allow Jack and Marinette to flee all the way up to Samuel's fight with Logan.

Samuel: As for my meet up with him... I did offer to challenge him. To my surprise... I discovered something about him that I couldn't believe...

Olive raised an eyebrow at hearing this and looked at Samuel.

Olive: What of Mr. Young?

Samuel was hesitant at first, but began to continue to speak.

Samuel: I had to do some digging around on records for Zone 09 and all who lived there. I specifically looked into Logan's past and came across this.

Pulling out some records, they were labeled with Logan's name.

Samuel: Grew up alone in Zone 09. Parents died on his date of birth. And had gotten into trouble here and there at times...

Jin: And? What did you find?

Samuel got serious as this would shock his team.

Samuel: What I found to have caught my eye the most... Was his birth date. November 25th, 2058.

This shocks Jin, Alicia, Olive and most of all Akira based on what that date meant.

Olive: That date. That was the day of the Pandemic.

Akira: Not only that... But our date of birth...

Alicia walked up and took a look at the documents herself to see if they were correct.

Alicia: Are you sure these documents are correct?? Are you ABSOLUTELY sure that-

Samuel: I couldn't be more serious than I can be. Not with everything we know.

Narrator (David Vincent): Down below in Neuron, located in the Training Area just left of the elevators, was the Detainment Cells. After Logan was arrested he has been put here after getting a new pair of fresh clothes. Only difference was, his hat had been taken away from him. In the cell he was placed, there

Logan lied on the bed as he sat up and put his feet on the floor. Logan held a hand to his head in trying to shake off any dizziness he felt and his hair was hanging down to his shoulders.

Logan: Ugh... My body feels like shit, but yet, after a day... I'm feeling almost better already?

A sound of a hand knocking on the window to his confinement as it showed a Neuron Officer trying to get his attention. When Logan looked, he was shocked to see that someone was wearing his favorite hat. Logan got up and went to the window and pound his fist against it.

Logan: Hey! Take that off! That hat doesn't belong to you!

A chuckle came from the officer as he lifted up the hat to give a smug look at Logan. When taking the hat off the officer had ash brown hair and green eyes, the officer's hair was combed back as it would show his forehead while he twirled the hat around with one finger. Logan wanted to activate his IRIS and scan the officer in front of him, but the police had removed the tech from him while he was being detained.

???: You say this is yours? Last time I see it, there have been reports of you stealing Neuron tech and equipment that BELONGED to US. How I see things, your little hat has become collateral damage for your actions.

Logan: You piece of shit. You know nothing about me. That hat is special to me. There are reasons why no one wears that hat except for ME.

???: And frankly, I don't care. You're behind there, and I'm over here.

Logan: Careful of your choice in words, you f**ktard. If I get out, which I WILL find a way. Your ASS, will be MINE.

The Officer laughed as he put the hat back on and walked away. Logan presses himself against the window to see the man taunt him.

???: Good luck with that. I would like to see YOU try and kick my ass. As if. You wouldn't even get one punch on this guy. Hahahahaha!

Logan began to get mad as he hit the window more and more.

Logan: You f**king bastard! When I get my hands on your f**king neck, I'll f**king make you regret you f**king messed with me! You f**king piece of shit!! YOU HEAR ME!! GIVE ME MY F**KING HAT BACK!!! RAAAAAGH!!!

The scene freezes as the Narrator begins to talk about Logan's past.

Narrator (David Vincent): Back when Logan could remember and retain his memories. All he was left with was a picture of who his parents looked like and what their names were on the back. His father being Conner Young, and his mother being Maria Young. What made the photo special to Logan, was that the father named Conner, had the same hat Logan wore to this day. The same hat that was being worn by the Officer who taunted in his face.

The scene resumes as Logan keeps beating on the window until he begins to slow down and have his back against it. He then slides down and sits as he runs a hand through his hair.

Logan: (The hat my father wore... I kept that with me and protected that hat for YEARS... Years because I couldn't ever discard it... But now...? God... Damn it...)

Logan grew a serious look on his face with one thought.

Logan: (If I ever get the chance to f**king punch that bastard, he'll experience hell personally.)

Footsteps could be heard as Logan didn't even bother trying to look to see who it was.

Logan: If you're going to keep taunting me about my damn hat, you better have a life-insurance plan, asshole. Because the more you keep angering me, the more pain I'm going to enjoy delivering to you personally, asshat.

???: Charming. What a way to speak to a girl. You speak like that when someone approaches you?

Hearing it wasn't the same person that was in the room before, Logan looked behind him to see it was Akira.

Logan: Oh. Thought you were someone else.

Akira: And who would you think I would have been?

Logan: A dumbass, who is arrogant and thinks they're a hotshot. Last guy that was in here was wearing my damn hat and taunted me. F**king bastard.

Akira looked back to the doorway that she came from as she remembered seeing someone wearing a hat after getting off the elevator.

Akira: I see. That would be Alan King. And how you described him... Would actually fit his personality...

Logan looks at Akira at getting the name of the officer that was left the room earlier.

Logan: Alan King? Heh. Thanks for the name. I'll be sure to kick his ass twice as hard now.

Akira: Must not like being taunted when your stuff is touched. Want to explain about that?

Logan: Tch. I'm what you might call "a champagne problem". Nothing much to explain really.

Akira crossed her arms while giving a look towards Logan from his statement.

Akira: Someone's a comedian.

Logan: Heh. Making jokes helps me keep myself sane in this world. If I didn't, I would be insane from being locked in here. Should be after all I've seen with that Legion.

Akira thinks back to when the two had met when Logan had stolen the Neuron tech. Especially when being able to access the Legatus and Legion.

Akira: Why did you do it?

Logan: Do what? Gonna have to be specific about that question really.

Akira: Stealing Neuron's tech.

Logan: Oh. That kind of question.

Logan looked up at the ceiling as he took a deep breath and released it into a long sigh.

Logan: If I had to be honest... I was tired of it all...

https://youtu.be/JlcZmA7aEJc

Akira raised an eyebrow in seeming curious about what Logan meant.

Akira: Tired of what?

Logan: Of living in Zone 09... Trying to survive... I just... I wanted a better life, ya know?

Logan remembers his times growing up in Zone 09 when some of the residents would help take care of him and show him how to survive. As time passed, those he knew would go away one by one. Only for him to end up all alone with no one to turn to.

Logan: Being in that place...was only bearable with the people that helped raise me... But as more incidents happened there, the fewer friends I had... Took 15, maybe 16 years before I was all alone... Had to fend and fight for myself and ONLY for myself.

Akira: What happened to those you knew?

Logan: Disappeared. As if into thin air. I tried searching for my friends. Asked around if anyone had seen certain people here or there... Nothing. Like they never existed in my life. Having to lose every friend I had... made me become...distant and desperate to live. That's my reason for wanting out of Zone 09.

Akira: Which meant waiting out and stealing our tech whenever possible?

Logan clicked his tongue and raised a finger into the air.

Logan: Bingo. If anything, you people know mostly what the hell is going on. Thought if I could find the right tech. I could find out what happened to my friends. But that night a couple days ago... I never expected anything like THIS.

Akira could feel the same after her first time experiencing the Legion when using the Legatus. But still, she had questions she wanted to ask.

Akira: What about that hat? The one Alan had? Can't you just buy another one when or if you get released?

Logan: That isn't just SOME hat. That hat has more sentimental value than you could ever think of. Reason being is that it belonged to my father before I was born. Though a picture and names on the back of a photo is hard to even compare really...

Akira had been caught off guard slightly by hearing that as a memento of someone that might be their parent.

Logan: But I wouldn't know as I have no memories of them when growing up. So what would I know, right? *sighs* Talk about being raised without knowing your parents.

Akira: I'm... Sorry to hear that.

Logan looked behind him and towards Akira with questions of his own.

Logan: Just what are the "Legions" as you called it? What were those creatures and human-like beings? Hell... I'm even more curious about your brother with what he could do.

Akira: Well...

Before Akira began saying anything, she stopped talking and looked at Logan.

Akira: Hey. I'm the one asking questions here. You ARE detained if I recall.

Logan: And I've been honest with you so far with what I've been doing with my life and motives. Think I would get some answers of my own, considering you people know what those THINGS are.

Akira: Even if you do cooperate, trying to earn someone's trust is going to take a LOT of work. You did steal from the law.

Logan: Says the LAW that controls creatures by a chain and commands them like slaves. Kinda being hypocritical, don't you think?

Akira: Without the chains placed on them, the link between human and Legion would be broken. As far as I know, it's what keeps the Legions stable and not going berserk. Keeps them calm and cooperative.

Logan laughed as he looked at Akira.

Logan: Then you know nothing.

Akira: What about you then, "Mr. Know It All"? What DO you know??

Logan: I could feel...as if it was trying to talk to me.

This piqued Akira's interest as this was something new.

Akira: What do you mean "Trying to talk to you."?

Logan continued to look at Akira and gave his answer.

Logan: Like... Like it could sense my worries. My distress. My emotions and everything. Like... It was a part of ME. Trying to make sure I would be okay.

Akira looked at Logan as she had only heard of her brother. Being told from his experiences when using the Legion at certain moments.

Logan: Heh... It was quite... Interesting while I could try the Legion. But it doesn't seem like I'll ever again with my condition here...

Akira watched Logan as he got up and went to the bed to lie down. Akira was about to say something, when her radio went off.

Olive (Radio): Akira. Come back up if you will? We may... be able to determine a suitable... sentence for Mr. Young.

Akira looked at her radio and pressed the button to reply back to her response.

Akira: Understood. Heading back up now.

After she released it and was about to head for the door, the radio went off again.

Olive (Radio): One more thing. Could you bring up Mr. Young while you're at it? I'm sure he's been in the cell long enough.

Akira froze when hearing that and looked at her radio to respond.

Akira: Commander? Do you think that is-

Olive: Trust me, Akira.

Hearing Olive's voice, Akira looked at the doorway to see Olive walking over to where she was.

Olive: Everyone deserves a chance if it can be given. Wouldn't you agree?

Akira: W-Well...

After Olive approached the cell Logan was in, she knocked on the glass window to try and gain Logan's attention.

Logan: Don't you know you shouldn't knock on the glass? It disturbs the animals on the other side of them when trying to relax. It's worse for fish.

Olive: But you're not an animal. Are you?

Hearing a new voice, Logan sat up slowly and looked at Olive.

Logan: And you are?

Olive: Olive Espinosa. Ex-Reporter, New Commander of Neuron.

Logan: So? What does that have to do with anything?

Olive smiled as she crossed her arms.

Olive: Because what you decide later will determine your sentence.

Logan looked at Olive and just sat on the bed as this was his life they were talking about.

Logan: And?

Olive handed Akira a pair of handcuffs and looked at her.

Olive: Give him 30 minutes to think about it. Any choice he makes is his own. If he wishes to come upstairs, guide him up. If not, let him stay in here.

Akira and Logan watched Olive as she began to walk away from Logan's cell and towards the elevators. Logan looked at Akira with a question to ask her.

Logan: Do you know what she's talking about? What is with people being cryptic??

Akira: I was put INTO this task regardless of my answer. You think I know everything?

Logan: Aren't you the one who works here?

Akira: Don't you need time to think about your life?

Logan got steamed as he gave a look at Akira.

Logan: Don't you ever shut up?

Akira: Don't you??

Logan: I'm asking you.

Akira: So am I.

Akira and Logan got into a staring contest as lightning could be seen between both of them in competing for who had the right more. Through the cameras, Samuel and Olive could see Akira and Logan of what they were doing.

Samuel: Sure knows how to get on my sister's nerves.

Olive: That's because they're both competitive deep down. And that can be useful in the long run if used right.

Samuel: Heh. All I know is that I want to stay out of their way if they fight.

30 minutes later...

After 30 minutes passed by, Akira was leaning against the wall when her radio chimed in to get her attention.

Olive (Radio): Has he decided?

Akira looked at her radio and pressed to talk into it.

Akira: I'll go see.

Akira got off the wall and walked to Logan's cell.

Akira: Times up. Have you got an answer yet?

Logan was on the bed still as he had a serious expression while looking up at the ceiling. Akira banged on the glass wall once and got Logan's attention.

Akira: Well? What's your answer?

Logan sat up and looked at Akira to give his answer.

Logan: Take me to see that woman. Whatever she wants... Is probably better than being locked like a caged lion in here.

Akira: A lion? More like a mouse if you ask me.

This ticked Logan off as a pair of handcuffs were tossed to him.

Akira: Put those on. Commander doesn't quite trust you to go on your own just yet.

Logan looked at the cuffs and sighed.

Logan: Whatever. Not like I have a choice to begin with anyway if I want a new view to look at. Better than the grey walls that surround me.

Akira: Someone does have a brain after all.

Logan: Grrr. If I wasn't so desperate to leave this damn cell, I would kick your ass lady.

Akira: And doing that will ruin whatever life you have left.

Logan: Whatever.

Logan placed one cuff on his left wrist and brought it behind him to cuff his right wrist. Making it so that his arms can't reach out in front of him.

Logan: This is secure enough for you all? Thought I put extra insurance by limiting my ability to reach in front of me.

Akira: More than enough actually. Now...

Akira unlocks the cell as the glass door slides open for Logan to walk through.

Akira: We're heading to the elevators. They're just outside the room to the right.

Logan: Shouldn't you lead?

Akira: Oh, sure. Let me guide you with my back towards you, you're sure to still be there when we get there.

Akira raised a fist and bonked Logan in the head and left a bump on his head.

Logan: OW!! Hey!! I can't defend myself!!

Akira: Do as I say, and you won't get hit.

Logan: I'd like to see you try once I get these- *bonk* OW! NOT AGAIN!!

Akira: Stop wasting time and go.

With two bumps on Logan's head now, he follows Akira's orders and heads for the elevators. Once they get in the elevator begins to go up. Logan looked at Akira with something to say.

Logan: You always so forceful with everyone?

Akira: Are you always annoying to everyone?

Logan: Only to those that piss me off.

Akira: Same can be said for me.

There was an awkward silence in the elevator. Both Logan and Akria were next to each other as they waited for the elevator to reach their destination.

Logan and Akira: (Jeez... Can't she/he say something already??)

Logan began to look over towards Akira's direction when he saw movement of her head turning towards his direction also. When almost meeting eye contact, Logan looked away quickly and gave confusion to Akria.

Akira: What?

Logan: Nothing.

Akira: What??

Logan: I said nothing.

Akira felt annoyed and asked Logan.

Akira: What? Were you trying to look me up or something?

Logan began to blush hard when asked that question and looked at Akira.

Logan: Are you crazy?? As if I would do that. Besides, I don't think someone like you is actually a girl with that strength of yours.

Akira became shocked when hearing that.

Akira: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!

Narrator (David Vincent): As the doors opened to the elevator, Akira spun around to her left and lifted up her right leg! Her attack connects to Logan's back without warning as he is then launched from the elevator! Akira's powerful kick sent Logan bouncing across the floor, past the entrance to the restroom, break room, and Dr. Brenda's office. Only to then crash into the wall with Logan's back against the wall and be upside down at the same time.

(Fourth wall break)

Time freezes over as Soejammy and Neptune pop up and look at the scene.

Soejammy: Hmm. That's actually really good honestly. I'm getting quite a funny feeling from this.

Neptune: Told you a narrator would help!

Soejammy looked at Neptune with a look.

Soejammy: You put David Vincent into my story without my word... But you know comedy better than anyone Neptune.

Neptune: Comedy is my middle name!

Soejammy: No it isn't!

The Narrator cleared his throat to get Soejammy and Neptune's attention.

Narrator (David Vincent): Not to interrupt the both of you, but may we get on with the story?

Soejammy: Um... Yes sir?

Neptune: Yeah. Sure thing. We do this sometimes to give our own thoughts.

Soejammy and Neptune disappear below the scene as time resumes as normal.

(Fourth wall break end.)

Narrator (David Vincent): Logan was seeing stars as he slid down to the floor with a flop and passed out on the spot. When regaining his sense, Logan found himself strapped to a bed as a white skinned, blue-haired female doctor was examining him. This lovely lady is known as Dr. Brenda Moreno. She wore a white dress with brown stockings that was up to her thighs. Brenda wore black heels and a long white doctor's coat. Her eyes are green as located under her left eye was a mole.

Logan: Oh... My head...

Brenda: Hmm... Seems to be okay. No internal or external injuries that I can see. Should be fine.

Logan: What happened...?

Brenda: Akira knocked you out after you angered her. Surprised to say... No one lives to see the next day after her outbursts...

Logan looked around the room to see he was in a doctor's office and couldn't move due to the restraints.

Logan: Where am I now?? How long have I been out??

Brenda: My examination room in Neuron and only 30 minutes. You flew past the doorway and crashed into the wall. Luckily you weren't sent through a window. Otherwise you would be dead instead.

Logan groaned as he closed his eyes. Logan closed his eyes and remembered what happened between him and Akira while gaining an annoyed look.

Logan: I knew she wasn't human OR a girl...

???: You like getting your ass handed to you, huh?

Coming from behind the examination curtain, Akira stood there with her arms crossed. Logan began to scream as attention was brought to Brenda's office.

Logan: Nope! Get me away from this demon! I don't want anything to do with her! HELP!

Akira: I AM NOT A DEMON!

Logan: SAYS THE CONCUSSION I MIGHT HAVE!!

Akira: YOU ARE FINE!!!

The two began another staring contest where electricity could be sensed from the two. Feeling an aura, the two looked at Brenda as she gave a glare. This sent chills down both Logan and Akira's bodies.

Brenda: I would advise you two to keep it down. Or do I have to be... Forceful to silence you two?

This caused Logan and Akira to become quiet at seeing Brenda angry like this as she went to the straps holding Logan down.

Brenda: If you're getting into fights already, then you must be okay. Akira, make sure your "boyfriend" gets to Olive alive. We don't want someone dead in our building. Okay?

Brenda began to walk to the entrance of her Office and began to head for the break room. When letting what Brenda had said to them became clear, Akira and Logan began to blush violently.

https://youtu.be/SdRBSOUgjrE

Akira and Logan: He/She is NOT my boyfriend/girlfriend!! Don't say something like that!!

Akira and Logan looked wide eyed at each other while blushing harder. Akira was the first to speak as she pointed a finger at Logan.

Akira: Don't copy what I say!

Logan: ME?! No, you should be the one who shouldn't copy me!

Akira: What?! I said it first!

Logan: As if! I did! You greasy dumb bitch!!

Akira: WHAT THE-?! RAAAAAAGH!! YOU'RE SO DEAD!!

Akira pulled back her hand into a fist and let it go flying towards Logan. Seeing the imminent punch meant for him caused him to scream in fear.

Logan: AAAAHHHHH!! Not again!!

Dodging to his left, Logan slid off the bed in time as Akira's fist grazed his right cheek as Akira's first impact against the wall. Logan got up and began to run with fear in his eyes and out the Medical Room.

Logan: NIGERUNDAYO!!

When hearing Logan trying to run away, Akira begins to chase after Logan.

Akira: Hey! Get back here!!

Logan ran down the hall in front of the Command Room. Many officers doing their reports looked to where Logan was as he looked over his left shoulder. Charging up behind him was Akira.

Logan: AAAHHH!!! THE BITCH IS RIGHT BEHIND ME!!!

Akira jumps towards Logan and tackles him to the ground. When getting him situated, Akira pins him down to the ground. Logan tried to struggle on trying to get up, but Akira locked Logan's arm down.

Logan: Ack! M-My arm! MY ARM!!

Akira: Calling me a "Greasy dumb bitch"?! I'm so going to-!

Samuel: Akira!!

Logan and Akira's attention went to Samuel as he rushed over to where the two were.

Samuel: What are you doing?!

Akira: Stay out of this Brother! I'm teaching this guy a lesson!

Logan: Mind your own business pal. I don't need saving as I can- *crack* Yah hahaha!! MY ARM IS BREAKING!!

Akira pulled back on Logan's arm causing him more pain.

Akira: Do what exactly?! Save yourself?! I've been trained in many take down tactics by the best teacher we had!

Samuel sweats as he looks at Akira.

Samuel: Does our Dad even count as a teacher...?

Akira: Yes!

Akira pulls more on Logan's arm and causes him to squirm in pain.

Logan: Pain...! Pain! Uncle! UNCLE!! HELP ME!! OH MY GOOOOD!!

Olive: Akira Howard! Stand down!!

Olive was next to rush over to where the scene was happening with Jin and Alicia to join her. When going to Akira, Jin and Alicia take her by the arms and pull her off of Logan. She tries to struggle on trying to get free, but couldn't do to their hold on her.

Jin: Akira! Get a hold of yourself!

Alicia: Calm down kid!

Akira: Let go! Ngh! Aaaaahhh!

Logan began to crawl away as Samuel grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up.

Samuel: One thing about my Sis... She is quick to anger if you push the right buttons and wouldn't recommend doing it... EVER...

Logan gave a stare at Samuel at the obvious hint.

Logan: Oh really?? I didn't notice.

Olive was the next to approach Logan as she bowed to him.

Olive: I apologize for...anything that happened.

Logan: Why are you apologizing??

Olive: To say sorry about the "First Impressions" you were given... That... Never happens around here really... The first actually.

Logan: Well, then that's got to be something. Huh?

Akira reached for Logan as another took her arm and pulled her back. Logan backed away to stay out of reach of her and sweated.

Logan: Does she EVER calm down?

Samuel: Umm... She does... Just give her time... And a cold drink to have afterwards...

Logan: Great advice, chief... Mind giving me complete body armor if I do...?

Olive cleared her throat to gain Samuel and Logan's attention.

Olive: As to what was said before... You've made the decision of coming up here instead of being locked in your cell.

Logan scoffed as he put his hand in his pockets.

Logan: Would be a dumb move to stay in a place like that... Any chance to get out of that, I'll take it no matter what.

Olive smiled at Logan's answer and crossed her arms under her breasts.

Olive: Then I have an offer to avoid that.

Logan looked at Olive as that caught his interest more.

Olive: If you want the charges that were placed on you removed, then you have to work for us.

When hearing that, Logan and Akira looked at Olive in trying to process what was said by her just now. This obviously didn't affect Samuel, Jin and Alicia as much as they knew that would be Olive's objective. Once being able to fully process Olive's sentence, the two became shocked.

Logan and Akira: WHAT?!?!

Logan looked at the people around him and then looked at Olive.

Logan: Hold on! You want ME to work here?! ME?! I don't even know you people!

Being punched in the face, Logan was sent flying into a wall as Akira was next.

Akira: Olive! You're offering this scumbag a job?!

Logan: Scumbag?!

Jin and Alicia sighed as they leaned against the wall, trying to catch their breath.

Jin: Is it me? Or are we getting-

Alicia: Don't even say it, or I will kick your ass.

Jin sweats and sighs to himself from getting a glare from Alicia.

Jin: (This is why I avoid trying to anger women...)

Logan got up onto his feet and rubbed his cheek.

Logan: Jeez... Does this lady even hold back??

Akira: Olive! You can't just-!

Samuel: AKIRA! ENOUGH!!

Akira froze and looked at her brother from him yelling.

Samuel: I understand Olive's motives and you should as well. We know Mr. Young's background and that in turn gives him a chance to qualify.

Logan looks towards Samuel with a raised eyebrow.

Logan: What do you mean by chance?

Samuel: A chance to become a police officer and join Neuron.

Olive: If you would follow.

Olive took charge when leading into the Command Room. Once at her desk, she put some images on the screen that showed Logan protecting Jack and Marinette. From both the thugs and guiding them to safety while in a chimera attack. All the way up to where Logan let Jack and Marinette to escape while dealing with the chimera.

Olive: As you can see, we were able to analyze your actions during your short time in Harmony Square. You're quite capable in fighting while adapting to your surroundings, Mr. Young.

Logan: Yeah? And?

Olive: Someone wouldn't just jump in to risk their life if it meant they had a chance to die. But you disregarded it when engaging to lead each situation.

Logan: What's your point?

Nodding her head, Olive decides to help speed the process up.

Olive: I believe we can come down to an agreement. You obviously don't want to be locked away and just want to live out your life. While we need help in keeping order and citizens safe.

Olive smiled as she looked into Logan's eyes to give her answer.

Olive: I'll say this again, but with more detail. If you decide to join Neuron, we won't lock you away and you have free clearance to explore as you choose in areas of our choice.

Logan: Option two?

Olive: The opposite of what I offer. You get sentenced away for life, and never to see the other zones on ARK. Mr. Young-

Logan: Logan is fine, Ms. Espinosa. Formalities are not my cup of tea.

Olive nods her head in acknowledging Logan's request.

Olive: Okay, Logan. We know you lived your whole life in Zone 09. Alone with no one to call family and no one to turn to. Your records show you have no one in your life ever since you grew up and did what you could to survive.

Logan: Your point?

Olive: We here at Neuron treat everyone as equals due to each persons' expertise and skill to fight. But what I say next, makes you more special.

Logan raised an eyebrow as a date came up. But not just A date. A date that marked when the Pandemic happened and when he was born into this world.

Olive: Do you know this date?

Logan: What of it?

Olive: Records show that YOU were born on this specific date. This date marked a dark day for everyone. Mostly for Zone-

Logan: The Pandemic. I know why Zone 09 is like that. But in truth, it's also my birth date.

Olive closed her eyes as she leaned onto her desk and connected her hands together to look at Logan.

Olive: Yes. But that's why I bring this date up. Like you, Akira and Samuel were also born on that date.

Logan: I saw that when I had the IRIS system connected. I know the demon next to me- *bonk* OW!!

Akira had hit Logan in the head for the insult given to her.

Akira: I will kick your ass.

Logan: -was born on the same date.

Olive nods her head to give a sign of "Yes".

Olive: That much is true. But like Samuel here, he was born at the same time as Akira.

Logan: So? What does a date and being born on the day that ruined Zone 09 got to do with anything?

Samuel: Did you ever feel a sudden surge of energy?

Logan looked at Samuel when he gained his attention.

Logan: Like what?

Samuel: A surge of energy that you can do anything without effort? Have you ever experienced that in any moment?

Logan looked at Samuel as a thought came to him when during his fight with Samuel.

Logan: I might've felt something, but I wouldn't know really.

Olive pressed a few buttons to show a screen with an enhanced footage zoomed in on one person. It looked to be Logan based on the image taken. Samuel began to keep explaining.

Samuel: During your fight, your senses might have gone into overdrive from the pressure I was giving you. You might have first felt it when trying to get your Legion to come to its senses and break free.

Logan: And?

Samuel: Didn't you notice how fast everything was going around you? How were you going through portal to portal? How you moved with your Legion in perfect sync?

Logan: Get to your point.

Samuel: I discovered something after our fight that only myself and Akira knows. Like us, you were probably born into this world when your mother was Redshifting.

Logan raised an eyebrow and responded to Samuel at hearing something about his mother.

Logan: "Redshifting"? What do you mean? What does it have to do with my mother??

Samuel: You see. When a person redshifts, they become a creature we call: Aberrations. Citizens who became too contaminated and became what you saw out in the streets of Harmony Square. You would've been affected as well, but you were able to be born in time. But your genes have been rearranged as well.

Logan: And?

Samuel: You showed me something that I thought my Sister and myself could only do. Our mother gave birth to us exactly the same you must've. When a Legion and their handler are in perfect sync, we call them: True Legionis. Basically the handler and their Legion being able to be in perfect sync. Regardless if controlling the Legion for long or not.

Logan crossed his arms and gave a look as if not believing what Samuel says.

Logan: And what? Because of my birth and just being in contact with a Legion for a short time, you think that I'm like you or your crazy-

Knuckles could be heard cracking behind Logan as Akira glared at him.

Akira: Don't mind me. Go ahead and keep talking.

Logan: That your SISTER... To be able to do the macarena with the Legion or something?

Olive chuckled at the slight humor Logan gave as it surprised her slightly.

Samuel: I didn't say dance, I meant being able to fight chimera and aberrations with minimal effort.

Logan lowered his arms and looked at Samuel in the eyes based on what he was told.

Logan: Tch. This sounds like a whole bunch of bull. You expect me to believe in all this? I know what I might've seen, but you're telling me; Because of my mother, I'm some sort of FREAK?

Samuel: I didn't say that. In fact, it makes you special. Special enough to help you earn your place here.

Logan: And I'm supposed to just agree? Agree because I don't know anything?? You must be off your rocker or something. As if I'm anything special. You just want what I can do and hope I agree to join.

Olive: That's not it!

Olive's outburst caught Logan's attention as he looked at her.

Olive: We do actually hope you'll join on your own regards. We won't force you to do anything you want. We're just offering you a choice that you would want after hearing us out. A choice that only you can make and no one else. If it were anyone else, there would be a trial for them and that's it. We offer this position because Legionis' like you are rare in this ability...

Olive sighed as she grew a solemn expression that was less serious.

Olive: But we see potential in someone who CARES for human life and not just for their own goals. You're not one to jump into situations unless it is needed of you. Logan... Because of what I've heard and what you went through, we give a chance for you to have a life here. One that you couldn't for over 21 years. No one ever gets this chance, not unless it can benefit both parties.

Narrator (David Vincent): Logan looked at Olive based on what she said. Her word echoed in his head from what was said to him on what Olive was trying to convey to him. One choice led to a life of imprisonment, solitude and the only view he would see would be the outside world through prison bars. The other meant experiencing a life he never had. A life where he had more meaning rather than just getting scraps of food. Having an actual home to call his own. One where he can TRULY live his life. Balling his hand into a fist, Logan closed his eyes and thought long and hard of what Olive said to him. His hand loosened up as he opened his eyes, giving his answer to her.

Logan: Let's say I do believe your story. Let's say what's so special about me is true. Are you willing to take such a chance on me, hoping that I might have the same potential as these two??

Logan was gesturing to Samuel and Akira while Olive shook her head as she gave her response.

Olive: No. I'm not sure. What I do is not part of official regulations. It's dangerous to even think about giving an offer like this. But seeing you, from the images provided. You're not someone who would wish someone harm or wish to see someone else get hurt. Because you're tired of losing people you can't save. Am I right?

Logan flinched for a moment at hearing that as it brought the memories of people he knew disappearing. Not being able to do anything as one by one vanished into thin air. Logan clenched his teeth and tightened his hand into a fist. He soon looked at Olive as it was made known his mind was made up.

Logan: I've made up my mind.

Olive looked happy for a moment, before Logan held a hand up.

Logan: I have my own question now. It pertains to the other monsters that appeared from those... "Portals" I call them.

Samuel: They're called: Chimeras. What they came out of was through Gates. Those are what we fought in Harmony Square. Well, you fought most of them. I fought the big one.

Logan: Chimera? You mean like the mythical creature in Greek mythology?

Olive: Not exactly. Though most of our code names for special variants come from that. But we gave them that designation name for a type of species. Creatures from a different dimension to our own.

Images were put up for Logan to see as it showed different incidents in ARK.

Samuel: These beings are what made the world as we know it to live on the ARK. Though it happened way before our time. These beings cause chaos whenever they come into our world and do one of two things. Sometimes even both. They contaminate the area with Red Matter, the reason why people redshift.

Logan: And the other?

Samuel: They kidnap people and take them to the Astral Plane.

This caught Logan's attention even more by hearing that.

Logan: KIDNAP?? They KIDNAP people??

Samuel: Yes. Does that interest you in some way?

Logan thinks back to when he kept trying to find any sign of his friends that go missing the next day. Trying his hardest to make sure they were okay. A shadow looms over Logan's face as he speaks once more.

Logan: What... What happens... To those taken away...? Are... Are they...?

Akira: They're taken away into the chimeras realm. From what we know from past encounters, rather my Brother's, people and materials from earth are brought there. Citizens brought there disappear for good unless saved fast enough by us. Those unfortunate... Are gone for good.

Logan's knees give out as he can only keep himself up by his arms. The group looks at Logan as soft sobs can be heard.

https://youtu.be/HAZAGVHc3BQ

Olive: Logan...?

Logan: All this time...

Droplets of water fell to the floor and some onto Logan's hands. Logan was crying with the hard discovery he had learned.

Logan: All this time... My friends...in Zone 09... They're... They're dead...

Akira raised an eyebrow of what Logan was talking about before realizing the conversation she had with him.

(Flashback)-Logan: Being in that place...was only bearable with the people that helped raise me... But as more incidents happened there, the fewer friends I had... Took 15, maybe 16 years before I was all alone... Had to fend and fight for myself and ONLY for myself. Disappeared. As if into thin air. I tried searching for my friends. Asked around if anyone had seen certain people here or there... Nothing. Like they never existed in my life. Having to lose every friend I had... made me become...distant and desperate to live. That's my reason for wanting out of Zone 09.

Once the flashback ends, she looks at Logan to see him crying. The shock of finally knowing what happened to his friends and hearing how they died broke what walls he had left. In turn... Akira and Samuel had lost their adoptive father, Max Howard, the same way Logan's friends had died. For Logan... He had more to lose than anyone.

Akira: (Logan... I...)

Logan kept crying for some time as the news was hard on him. When Logan is finally able to calm down, he is currently sitting on a seat in the command room.

Logan: All this time... I convinced myself they were gone because of reasons... I wanted to avoid thinking...thinking they were dead...

Logan took a deep breath as he grabbed the drink that was next to him on the table and sipped from the can. He sets it back down as Logan has a slight distant look in his eyes.

Logan: I never wished to think about if they died... Them dying is the last thing I wanted to hear...

The group was silent with not knowing what to say as Olive was the first.

Olive: We try to prevent any loss of human life... But at the time... It wasn't like how it was back then. With more officers being able to have Legions of their own, we were finally able to start covering more Zones for attacks. Making sure we could stop any invasions.

Logan was still quiet, not speaking as he just only listened.

Olive: I know you must've lost so much... Your birth parents, the friends that raised you... That's what we're trying to prevent for others on the ARK. So that no one else has to go through this. Even for us.

Logan still sat there not saying anything as he looked at the floor.

Olive: My offer still stands though. If you train here, learning from how we work. You can be given your Legion back, and help fight the chimera.

Hearing that, Logan began to stand up and wipe away some of the tears that remained.

Logan: So, those chimera... They're the reason why my friends are dead...?

Olive: Yes. If what our sources know and what happens to humans in the Astral Plane, then I'm afraid so...

Logan tightened his right hand into a fist as droplets of blood began to drip from his fist.

Logan: My friends... They were everything to me growing up... Now that they're gone... Knowing how they died sets me at ease... But now. It's time to get serious.

When looking at Olive, Logan had made his decision.

Logan: Where's my uniform?

Two hours later...

Narrator (David Vincent): In the Locker Room where all officers change in and out of their uniforms. Closing the locker, Logan was in his new uniform for Neuron! From the foot up, he was in standard issued gear worn by all officers of Neuron. Located on Logan's body, held a holster on his pants, but no weapon to hold in. Logan wore only a Ballistic Vest with a shoulder armor located on his left arm. The collar of the Ballistic Vest covered around the back of his neck and around the sides of his neck only. On his left ear, there was a Communications Earpiece meant for quick access to answer calls. When leaving the room, Samuel was there to see Logan's new look.

Samuel smiled at seeing Logan and approached.

Samuel: So, how does it feel to be on the other side of the law.

Logan: Not that different really. Just a new look, same old me. Though, my look isn't complete yet.

Samuel raised an eyebrow at being confused.

Samuel: Really? Why's that?

Logan got serious as he had two items on his thoughts.

Logan: First, my picture of my parents. Secondly, my hat that damned Alan King is wearing.

Samuel looked at Logan and realized that when they had first met, Logan was wearing a hat. After Logan had been taken in, all of his possessions had been taken away from him.

Samuel: Yes. I did see that Alan had begun wearing a hat. Though I should've taken a better look to see... Let me go and-

Logan: No.

Samuel looked at Logan to see that he was beginning to smile.

Logan: I wish to get through my tests to see if I'm qualified for the job first. I have... My own agenda for when I deal with Mr. King.

Narrator (David Vincent): What followed harsh training and hard work, Logan worked day and night to try and adjust to his new life. Other officers didn't accept him as one of their own due to the background he had before joining. That meant sabotaging his food, wrecking his private quarters in the base, and making the tests he takes difficult to pass the exams. For 20 days and 20 nights, Logan worked through blood and sweat to do everything he can to be accepted into Neuron. That meant having to be given the hard slap of how hard he had to work for it regardless of the impossibilities he had to deal with. But Logan pushed through it all, regardless if his body wanted to give out on the spot. Because he was DETERMINED to make it into Neuron regardless of any situation.

Date: October 27, 2080

Logan stood in front of Olive at the attention of his new commander Logan would be working for. Olive looked through all of the documents and test results for his training and knowledge of how the code of conduct is done.

Olive: Hmm...

The only people that supported Logan was Samuel most of the time he could help while getting help from Jin and Alicia in the basics and advance work. Logan had gained their help despite all the hard work Logan was going through and began helping him by day seven in Logan's training. Akira kept to her own business, but never participated in trying to make Logan's work harder. Brenda oversaw the mental stability and physical strain Logan would put himself through to be thorough on how Neuron worked. In the end...

Olive: These papers seem to be in check... And your test results on the knowledge portion seem to be in acception.

Logan was nervous after all the hell he went through to get accepted. If he didn't, that would mean another 20 day course of hard training to try and get into the job.

Olive: Considering how the tests were made, along with the physical work you placed here... You worked yourself to the bone in trying to get through this, right?

Logan: Yes, ma'am. Despite the...setbacks, I did my best to not let the pressure get to me due to my recent crime.

Olive: Yes... Most officers here seemed against someone like you that is offered the chance to join. Not everyone has the chance to be offered on the spot because of it. But your case Logan, is more special due to your potential sync level to the Legions. If anything, everyone deserves a second chance to turn their life around.

Logan: And what are the results Commander?

Olive takes one more look at all the documents and test data, the test was on par, but Logan's physical capabilities seemed to be better than what she hoped.

Olive: Your tests for knowledge are standard... But your physical exceeded what I originally thought.

Logan: When you're running from the law and sometimes can't run from a situation, that's where my other survival senses come in.

Olive smiled as she brought her hands together and looked at Logan.

Olive: Logan, welcome to Neuron.

As if feeling a weight lift off of Logan's chest, he sighs.

Logan: I did it... Just on the edge of my skin...

Olive smiled as she pressed a button on the table. The top opened up to reveal a few items that rose up from the table as it showed some gear.

Olive: As being part of the force, you are given gear to combat the chimera and help fight against them. I'm sure you recognize one item presented here?

Logan could see the Legatus that was part of the gear.

Logan: The Legatus I stole?

Olive: If you want to put it like that. But may I have your attention?

Logan looked at Olive with what she wanted to say.

Olive: Under no circumstance are you to use your Legion for any other reason. Not unless it is meant to help protect life and fight the chimera. What I did is very risky since I don't know you personally... Is that understood?

Logan nodded his head to the terms given to him as he knew how serious this was.

Logan: Yes ma'am.

Olive: If we have that taken care of, onto your gear. Here, we have your X-Baton. This little contraption is able to shift from three different forms. The standard form of swift combat Baton, the range capabilities of a Blaster and then for dealing heavily blows, the Gladius. Each has their own capabilities, but I'm sure you can figure out a use for all three.

Logan picked up the X-Baton and examined it. On the handle were a few buttons that marked certain symbols next to where the handle should be gripped. Holding the piece of gear carefully, he pressed a button and switched the mode of his weapon to Blaster. It shifted and morphed to change size and shape to be formed into a hand held gun. When pressing another, it shifted and changed once more to grow larger in size and shape. Triple to that of what the Baton was, it was currently in Gladious mode. After examining each weapon carefully, Logan pressed Baton mode and put it in his holster.

Olive: Ready for the next? Next we have IRIS. But you must obviously know what they are considering of your escapade.

Logan: Yes. From what I know, it scans the person of whoever we look at and gives all vital data of their birth, blood type, name, ID number and their exact position when walking around through walls. What they lack is being able to see INSIDE the rooms. My stunt back in Zone 09 is how I was able to set up the elaborate route out of my building from such a height.

Olive nodded her head.

Olive: Yes. Had you not known, you wouldn't have been able to deceive our best officers.

Logan: I take that as a compliment.

After requiring IRIS, Logan equipped them to get a good feel for them again as Olive moved to the last item placed on the table.

Olive: Here we have the Legatus Cradle. These objects are meant to store your Legion when not on duty. Saves the trouble of having to keep it equipped to your arm all the time. This can be attached to your utility belt on your back as it will be locked and secured safely.

Logan: Heh. That'll come in handy in the long run I guess.

Logan picked up the cradle and began on trying to equip the equipment on, but felt a forceful push from his right. The push caught Logan off guard and fell to the floor.

Logan: Augh! Grr. Who-?

???: Commander! You cannot be serious about letting this nobody into the Force! He's a criminal!

Logan recognized the voice as it belonged to a certain man he met when being confined.

Logan: (That voice...!)

Turning over, he could see it was Alan King. The man who thinks he's better than anyone. The same man who had been holding onto Logan's hat as a way of taunting him all this time. Alan had every chance to get on Logan's nerves and spread around the center of Neuron rumors of Logan. He made Logan's life hell in trying to get him to quit, but all of that was in vain due to Logan's success.

Alan: He's a crook who came from the most contaminated area of Zone 09! Have you lost your mind?!

Olive: MR. KING!

Olive slammed her hands onto the table and looked at Alan.

Olive: Mr. Young here has a right to be here as everyone due to his own sets of skills and connection to the Legion!

Alan: But he never had any real training! He's nothing, but a scumbag!

Olive was about to open her mouth again once more before Logan spoke first.

Logan: Leave her out of this. I was given a choice by her and her decision only. My acceptance into this was earned through hard work!

Alan looked at Logan and glared at him.

Alan: SHUT UP! Just training hard for the last 20 days means nothing! People worked years to get to where they are! EVEN ME!

Logan: MY LIFE WAS HELL UNLIKE YOURS!!

Logan got up onto his feet and pointed at Alan.

Logan: You don't think I suffered?! You know NOTHING!!

Logan and Alan glared at each other as an aura could be sensed from the two fighting.

Olive: THAT IS ENOUGH!!

Olive yelled out and slammed her hands onto her table. This caught everyone in the command room's attention and those on the floor to see what was going on.

Olive: Mr. King! Yes! I am aware of Mr. Young's life! Yes, I am aware of his crime! But if you were in his shoes, you would want out of Zone 09 with any means! Denying that fact is hypocrisy in its own right!!

Seeing Olive defend him, Logan began talking next.

Logan: If only you understood what my life was like. Then maybe you may give me more respect than you give me credit for.

Looking at Olive, Logan wanted to ask a question to her.

Logan: If you don't mind, may I request permission to train in getting familiar with my Legion in the training area?

Olive looked at Logan and sighed as she nodded her head.

Olive: Yes. But let it be for training use only.

Logan nodded his head in understanding her commands.

Logan: I understand. If you will excuse me.

Logan picked up his Legatus Cradle and the Legatus itself. He placed the Legatus into the cradle and then fastened it onto the utility belt on his back. With gathering the last of his equipment, Logan began walking to the elevators to head down the building. Who he meets around the corner in the hall leaning against the wall, was Akira.

Logan: Akira.

Akira: Idiot.

Logan flinched at the nickname as he was given to by Akira.

Logan: Come to try and get in my face about this whole mess?

Akira looked slightly at Logan at what was said and replied.

Akira: No. I was just passing by after getting off the elevator when I heard Olive yelling. Seems Alan tried to do something again?

Logan: Heh. You're nosy. But yes, Alan did try to butt in on something that had to do with me.

Akira: Even after all that everyone put on you, you never even gave one thought of giving up. Am I right?

Logan: Right. I know my crimes. It's up to anyone here to look past them in trying to give me a second chance like Olive did. If you excuse me though... I have permission to train with my Legion down below in the Training Area. I'll see you later whenever we cross paths again.

Logan began walking off with a straight look on his face from Akira's perspective. It was a look that showed a strong side to what happened, but Akira could sense another side to Logan's face.

Akira: (You're having to endure so much just to fit in. Are you really okay though?)

Location: Training area.

Heading down the elevator, Logan headed towards the Training Area like he said. But suddenly, he heard a voice.

???: No no no! Not again!

Rolling down the hall, Logan could see a head roll to his feet with great curiosity. He picked up the head and looked at it to inspect it. It was the head of the mascot known as: Lappy.

???: Nononono! Give me that!

Seeing someone had rushed up to Logan, the person in front of him quickly took the head back and quickly placed it on their body. Logan didn't have a chance to see their face, as it happened too fast for him to notice. When getting a good look at who he was looking at, Logan saw it was the mascot of the police themselves, Lappy. They looked like a big yellow dog, with a fake tongue sticking out of the mouth. They had big cartoonish hands and that were big white gloves, a black sash and a big blue hat with the letter "P" on it. When calming down, Lappy took a deep breath and saluted to Logan while Logan had a big confused look on his face.

Logan: Uh...

Lappy: Well, hooooowdy! Pleased ta finally meetcha, partner ! The names Lappy! We're gonna be best friends!

Hearing what was happening, Logan's face changed to that of denial.

Logan: Oh dear god no...

Lappy: As a Police dog, it's my-

Logan: Hold up! Stop!

Lappy: Ah. Uh? Why ya stoppin me partner?

Logan sighed in stopping Lappy before things got out of hand.

Logan: I'd love to talk to you... But I was given permission from the Commander to go train. I'm really sorry.

Lappy looked at Logan as they waved off Logan's apology.

Lappy: Aww shucks. Ya don't need ta apologize. I've seen you sometimes when I passed by when you were workin' hard.

Logan: H-Huh...?

Logan became surprised to hear Lappy say that to him as Lappy continued speaking.

Lappy: Ya worked day and night just to get into good ol' Neuron. Ya didn't even have time to have any fun of yer own. I wouldn't understand what you went through, but I know ya struggled.

Logan looked at Lappy as they saluted at Logan.

Lappy: Keep up the good work, partner! Now to go do some paperwork- I mean! To chase some cars!

Lappy turned around and began to run in the other direction of where they came from, leaving Logan stunned by what was said to him.

Logan: (Ah man... Now I feel such an asshole right now... Even when I didn't know them, they were just trying to help me relax... God damn it... I should apologize later to whoever Lappy is... But for now, time to see what I can do to train.)

Walking into the Training Area, Logan can see a terminal just like the computers up in the Command Room and a station just like the one in the Command Room also. Logan walked to the terminal and began accessing it.

Logan: Augh... I asked if I could train... But how do I access the settings in here...?

When saying that, a program began to run on its own. What popped up, was a virtual version of Lappy, but more cartoon-like than the real deal.

Lappy (Virtual): Well, hooooooowdy partner! What would you like to try today?

Logan looked around and then at the virtual projection of Lappy as if it was waiting for a response.

Logan: (Just give a simple answer Logan...) Um... I would like to train?

Lappy (Virtual): Alrighty! What kind of setting would you like to try?

Logan: Um... Something easy to start out with?

Lappy (Virtual): OOOOOkay! Comin' at ya partner!

Logan looked at the program as the room began projecting a figure into the middle of the room. What finished forming was a creature Logan was familiar with. It was a few of the speedy chimera Logan had faced when protecting Jack and Marinette. Seeing this, Logan smiled at finally being able to do something else rather than paperwork for the past 20 days. Logan reached for his Legatus and equipped it to his left wrist. The Legatus morphed and opened up to show the Legion Core in the middle of the device.

Logan: Okay, Legion! Let's get some time to bond with each other!

Legatus: Claw.

Narrator (David Vincent): Prompting his left arm by moving it over to his right, Logan launched it forward to summon out the Claw Legion! As it formed, a slight wave circled around for a moment where the Legion became whole. The Legion gave a slight roar from being released into it's form while a collar was connected around the neck. Logan sensed a slight rush for a moment on what he felt, but didn't pay attention to it. All he cared about was being able to test what he can do now.

Logan: Like being out of your shell huh? I can say the same thing buddy. Being in that cell and studying my ass off for so long sucked. Let's get some time to burn off some steam.

The Claw Legion looked at the chimera holograms as it produced its claws. Logan pulled out his X-Baton and activated Baton Mode. He got into a stance and stood next to his Legion with a smile. When seeing the holographic chimera begin moving towards him, Logan decided to meet halfway. Gripping his baton, Logan rolled under the first attack the enemy made and countered with two swings of his baton to attack. Hearing noise behind him, Logan pulled on the chain to call his Legion over.

Logan: Legion!

Rushing to his side, the Claw Legion shoulder bashes the chimera behind Logan to knock it away. While Logan faced one, the Claw Legion faced the other. The Claw Legion crossed it's arms and produced claws from its arms. It dodged out of the way of the enemy's attack and proceeded to retaliate against the enemy. The Legion executed an uppercut attack and swung both arms inward on it's target. Once the claws reached the target, the hologram was split into separate pieces. Logan faced his own enemy as he blocked an attack from one and dodged the other enemy present in the room. Logan ducked under the attack and went for the leg of one, then switched modes to access his Blaster. As the weapon morphed into the desired weapon, Logan spun the gun by the trigger guard near his hip. When it finished forming, Logan lifted up his gun and began to fire from the lower portions of his enemy and all the way up to it's head from point blank range. Filled with bullets, the chimera disappeared into pixels. The last enemy twitched as it roared to charge towards Logan.

Logan: Last one!

Spinning his gun again, Logan pressed a button that began to morph into the Gladius Mode. Seeing it beginning to extend towards himself after the last spin is made, Logan gripped the handle to stop his weapon and began to swing while in mid-morph on his weapon. Logan and the holographic enemy looked each other dead in the eyes. The weapon Logan had finished forming just before making contact with the target, cutting clean through the enemy's torso.

Logan: Legion! Serves up!

Spinning around, Logan swung the Gladius by the side and whacked the top piece of the holographic chimera towards the Claw Legion. When it approached, the Legion made a motion on pulling it's arm back and then thrusting it forward with it's claws extending. The chimera was pierced by the claws before disappearing into pixels. Logan took a sigh as he morphed his weapon back to normal size and placed it into his holster. Logan looked at his Legion and gave a thumbs up.

Logan: Nice one! I saw what you did there with the other hologram when I was stuck with two. Think you can do something like that again when the real deal comes?

The Legion was unresponsive to Logan's question as it made Logan himself awkward.

Logan: Oh... Right... Hmm... Why do I keep doing that...?

???: Because maybe you're a freak like everyone knows you are?

Hearing a voice, Logan looks behind him to see it was Alan King. What infuriated Logan more, was that Alan still had his hat after all this time.

Logan: Alan.

Alan: Still trying so hard that everyone will accept you. Heh. You might as well quit before anything else happens.

Logan turned away as he didn't want to cause any trouble. Logan wished he could, but that meant he would get his good name stained for attacking another officer. His good name was already on the fence from the rumors, he didn't want more placed on him.

Alan: What's the matter Young? Cat got your tongue or something? I'm TALKING to you!!

Legatus: Fighter.

From behind, Logan gets hit in his side by a kick. Logan yelled in pain as another punch sent him flying into a wall.

Logan: Gah...! Augh...

Looking at Alan, Logan can see that Logan had brought out his own Legion and was smirking. Alan's Legion consisted of being able to stand on the ground and bounced from left to right. It had armor on it's arms and legs that would deal more damage if it connected to a target. Alan's Legion was designated as: The Fighter. A Legion meant for up close battles.

Alan: How about... A little "sparring session." You game?

Logan looked at Alan as it was only a taunt to get Logan to fight him. The Claw Legion watched as Logan was attacked. The Claw Legion began heading towards Alan as the Fighter Legion was ready to defend Alan. Seeing his Legion trying to act on its own, Logan pressed some buttons to call his Legion back into its core form. Logan slowly got up by leaning against the wall and glared at Alan.

Logan: I am not authorized to use my Legion in a real sparring session Alan. You know I only have permission to train using the equipment in this room. Sparing with another officer without permission- Gurk!

Logan didn't get to finish his sentence as he wasn't able to react to Alan's Legions closing the distance and attacking him in the gut.

Alan: Heh. Olive may think you're special. But you're nothing. A Zone 09 trash who qualified just because of your sync level with the Legion. That's all the reason you're even here. Nothing more, nothing less. In the end, you're still just trash in the end.

Logan coughed as the Fighter Legion backed away from him. Logan went down to his knees and held his stomach as the pain caught him by surprise.

Logan: D-Damn you... Alan...

Alan: Pfft. Don't be cursing at me. Curse yourself, Zone 09 trash.

Alan sent his Legion towards Logan in wanting to hit him again. Logan was prepared this time as Logan dodged to the right and rolled away from the Legion's attack. Logan got out his X-Baton and activated Baton Mode to ready his weapon. Logan flipped the baton over to hold it backhanded.

Alan: Don't tell me you're going to fight me?

Logan: No. I'm only going to be defending myself against your Legion. I can't fight you at full strength due to my circumstances. Not unless I have clearance by Olive. Only then, will I be able to fully fight back. And trust me on this, I WISH I could kick your ass right now.

Logan glared at Alan with what he said next.

Logan: I want to beat the rotting shit out of you, but my good name comes first in honoring Olive's orders.

https://youtu.be/GsGA5I4q9N0

Narrator (David Vincent): Alan smirked as he commanded his Legion to go on the offensive! Logan raised his guard as the Fighter Legion began it's assault on the desired target. Logan dodged left and right, bobbed and weaved to avoid any to all damage if possible. Logan would attack the Legion only as he could only fight in defense. Logan made use of the space he could use in trying to roll, jump, block or run to try and keep himself able to move. But as the fight kept going, Logan's stamina in trying to keep up with the Legion would get tougher. When the fighter Legion charged towards Logan, he was sweating from the vast movements he had to make in his struggle. Logan raised his guard and would defend the attack, but to his surprise, the Fighter Legion went to it's right and circled around Logan.

Logan: Wh-What?!

Narrator (David Vincent): What Logan didn't know about the tactics, was that officers can use the Legion's chains to tie up their opponents. The Fighter Legion circled around Logan and completed the circle, soon trapping Logan in a chain trap!

Logan felt the tightness of the chains as his arms were pulled to his sides. The chains protruded and stuck themselves to the floor to immobilize Logan's movement. Keeping himself stuck in one place.

Logan: C-Can't... Move...!

Alan: Like that nifty little trick? All the best officers know to use the chains to trap a fast enemy. You think I have all day trying to chase you down? I was tiring you out so that you would be stuck longer in those chains! You damn fool!!

Logan gritted his teeth at being played like this as he couldn't fight back. Alan approached Logan as he would deliver physical punches to Logan's face and body. Weakening Logan as time grew on.

Alan: No one is better than ME. This Legion proves I can be better.

Logan pants from the pain he feels. Blood dripped from his lip as he spitted it onto the floor and looked at Alan.

Logan: You're wrong Alan... The Legion has nothing to do with making you better... You were trusted to use it based on the responsibilities given to you... What defines us... Is what we choose to do with the gifts we were born with...

Logan struggled on trying to get freed from the chains placed on him as he glared at Alan.

Logan: But it would seem... Your lust to prove you're better than everyone, has gone to your damn head!!

Alan: SHUT UP!! LEGION!!

Alan sent the Fighter Legion towards Logan and began to pummel Logan with both fists. Logan grunted and felt some fractures of his bones breaking from the beat-down he was being given. The more Logan was dealt, the weaker the chains could be sustained from the attacks. The Fighter Legion pulled back on it's arm and sent it forwards to connect to Logan's chest. The punch broke the chains holding Logan and sent him flying into a wall.

Logan: UUUGGGHHH!!

Logan slid down the wall and sat on the floor feeling the pain course through his body. Alan laughed at Logan's predicament as Alan slowly walked to him.

Alan: Hahahahaha! You're so pathetic! Look at you!

Logan panted from the strain he felt as he tried to get back up to prove a point.

Alan: You're on your last legs and you can't fight back to save yourself!

Logan glared at Alan for gloating at having an advantage over him as Logan began to speak again.

Logan: Keep talking...

Alan: What?

Logan: Keep talking like that... I have a list I've compiled of all the stuff you ordered...

Alan: What are you-

Logan pulled out a small notebook from his pocket and tossed it to Alan. Alan opened it to a marked page and began to read it. Some sections had been erased and written in some spots over time.

Alan: "50 Punches to the face, 25 kicks to anywhere, spreading rumors about me, sabotaged food, seven cold showers and a crash course of a lesson to learn"??

Logan: That's all the items I've made a tab for everything you owe to me... I sometimes forget the things I want or need to do, so I write it all down... Does that sum up for everything you did to me?

Alan glared at Logan for how many times of what went on at his stay here. Logan pointed towards Alan to announce something.

Logan: Make sure you add "Abusing the Legion to do your dirty work." Because if there's anyone who's the scum right now, it's you. Alan King.

Alan growled at Logan announcing his name and roared out.

Alan: How dare you look down on me!!

Before Alan could send the Fighter Legion towards Logan, a voice cried out.

Olive: ALAN KING!!

The voice shook Alan down to the bone with what he heard. At the doorway stood Olive. Next to her was Akira as both of them had serious looks on their faces.

Alan: C-Commander! This isn't-!

Olive: I've heard just enough out of you!! You said you were going to come down and "help train" with Mr. Young! Not beat him up until he becomes unconscious!!

Akira rushed over to Logan to help support his weight while Olive stood at the doorway with her arms crossed.

Olive: I didn't want to come down here to believe what was going on. But I can see that Akira was telling the truth about the whole thing.

Alan: What do you mean?! You had no-

Alan (Playback): Heh. Olive may think you're special. But you're nothing. A Zone 09 trash who qualified just because of your sync level with the Legion. That's all the reason you're even here. Nothing more, nothing less. In the end, you're still just trash in the end.

Alan was shocked to hear his voice. When looking to see where the sound was coming from, it was coming from Akira's Legatus in playback mode.

Alan: Y-You recorded it?!

Akira: You think you're sneaky Alan??

Flashback

Akira (Present): After a few minutes of hanging around the break room, I saw you heading to the elevators with a smirk written all over your scruffy face.

Akira soon begins to follow Alan as she watches to see that Alan went down a floor. The floor Logan went to.

Akira (Present): When I decided to follow my gut, I went to follow you and see your intentions. You used the idiot's limited access to the Legion to earn yourself a free beating when no one was around. Since the tech crew that works down here all went to lunch, you could try and get away with your escapade to beat your target up without anyone noticing.

Akira followed Alan down the elevator and carefully stayed hidden from sight. Akira used a camera feature to look into the room to see and hear of what went on. Akira captured everything that was happening. From the way Alan talked to Logan, from seeing Logan's actions, how Logan kept to his word for using the Legion in the room. Everything.

Akira (Present): Just hearing the guy struggle on trying to put up a fight, made me sick having to witness it. With evidence in hand, I took it straight to Olive to help her believe what was happening.

It then showed Akira rushing to where Olive was and explaining what went on in the room to convince her to help.

Flashback end.

Olive: As part of her job, finding evidence is what an officer does. If Akira hadn't shown me the footage... It would have been hard to believe.

Logan looked at Akira at what she had done for him.

Logan: Akira... You...?

Alan had fear written all over his face as Olive gave her orders.

Olive: Alan. You are hereby to turn over your Legion and be suspended for your actions here today. Until further evaluation can be said about-

Logan: H-Hold on...

Logan caught Olive's attention when speaking out. Logan removed his arm from Akira to stop any more need for support.

Logan: I don't need your support now... I've rested enough.

Akira looked at Logan and nodded as she stood by. She didn't hardly believe Logan could keep standing the way he was right now.

Olive: Logan?

Logan: *pants* *pants* Permission to teach Alan a lesson... Commander...?

Olive looked at Logan on what he was talking about, but caught on quick.

Olive: Under certain circumstances... You are active to use your Legion freely.

Logan smiled as he looked at Alan with a grin.

Olive: Oh, and no need to hold back.

Logan: *chuckles* Heh. With pleasure, Commander. And Akira?

Akira's attention was gained when Logan called her out.

Logan: Aren't there types of pills officers are issued to use when needing emergency recovery in the middle of combat?

Akira: Yes. But I don't think-

Logan: Mind if I borrow one?

Akira looked at Logan and sighed. Akira reaches into one of her pouches and tosses Logan a pill.

Akira: Fine. But you owe me for this idiot.

Logan: Mighty appreciated, Akira.

Given a pill, Logan swallows it as he could feel his strength returning to him. Logan took a deep breath and cracked his neck.

Logan: Mmmmm... Needed to do that. Now... As for you, Alan.

Alan shook slightly at the predicament he was placed in.

Logan: I know the stuff on your "tab" I made for you is all that you owe... But there is one SPECIAL item I forgot to mention to put on there...

Alan: A-And what's that?!

Logan looked Alan dead in the eye. It showed Logan didn't have any respect for Alan with what he said next.

Logan: For stealing AND wearing my damn hat. YOU GODDAMN BASTARD!! LEGION!!

Legatus: Claw.

https://youtu.be/3gjg3Ib-y54

Narrator (David Vincent): When throwing the Legatus out, the Claw Legion was summoned and created a portal next to Logan! Logan thrusted his right arm into the portal and confused Alan for a second. Before Alan knew what was happening, Alan received a knuckle busting punch to the left side of his face. The surprise impact sent him flying, while knocking the hat off his head. The hand that punched Alan had come through a similar portal that was generated and grabbed hold of the hat. Pulling the hat through, Logan had finally regained his hat as he fixed his hair to go through the hole in the back. When the hat is finally in a place Logan feels comfortable about, he gives a toothy grin and looks at Alan.

Logan: Well well... Looks like my hat is back to its rightful owner. But our settlement is far from over, Mr. King.

Alan got up and rubbed his cheek while glaring at Logan.

Alan: You cheap shot son of a-!

Logan points at Alan with a glare and stops him from talking. Logan waves a finger left and right.

Logan: Tsk tsk. You have no right to be saying that, you hypocritical bastard.

Logan closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

Logan: You HAD a choice to let me be, but you didn't. You HAD a choice to treat me the same way I had been doing to you over 20 days here, but you didn't. You HAD a choice to let go of your negative intentions and HELP me grow as a human being, but you DIDN'T.

Logan felt a surge course through him. Feeling the pressure grow as his conviction came out.

Logan: All of your actions are clear that you will never respect me for who I am. If you will not treat me the same respect as a fellow officer, then I can't trust you at all. The few people I know give their trust that I can make a name for myself here with effort alone. That's why I worked hard at it. But if you can't put your trust in me, you're nothing but scum!!

The Claw Legion felt a surge of energy course through as it roared out.

Logan: As a way of punishing you. I, Logan Young, will deal with you in a manner only I can deal with! THE ONLY JUDGES THAT WILL PLACE JUDGMENT ON YOU TODAY, WILL BE MYSELF AND MY LEGION!!!

Narrator (David Vincent): A wave of energy surged around Logan and his Legion! A wave of energy that caused winds to be blown in the room, despite being outside or not! What followed was Logan gaining a bluish glow to what hair could be seen! Although that's what it should have been just that, the Legion was also being affected in some way as well! Akira moved away to get at a safer distance to not be caught in something unexpected.

Akira: OLIVE!! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

Olive: I... I don't know...!

Feeling a surge course through, but stronger, Logan's eyes shined brighter and yelled out.

Logan:LEGIOOOOOOON!!

Responding to Logan's voice, the Legion positions itself behind him. The screen splits in half as it shows Logan's heart and the core of the Legion he controls on each side. Both were in a flux of separate beats, but soon synchronized to be beating at a steady pace. Both being in sync to the same rhythm. The surge of energy became greater as the two roared out and the winds that circled around them grew taller. A small twister had formed around the two and concealed their form, making the others unknown of what was happening.

Akira: What the HELL is happening Olive?!

Olive: I don't know!!

Alan: Jesus Christ!! The whole building is shaking!!

When the twister begins to die down, Logan's form begins to be more visible slowly. When fully seen, all three people looking at Logan could see big differences to Logan than what they saw before. Logan was concealed in the armor that should belong to the Legion he controls as the word "Neuron" was on the arm guards he wore. Armor covered his whole body as blue lines could be seen trying to reach up from past his jaw. Logan's hat had changed also as it had become like the armor, but had "Neuron" written there too. His hair was bright blue, brighter than what Samuel's were. What made the difference, was that his Legion was nowhere in sight.

Akira: Wh-Where did his Legion go???

Olive tried to look for Logan's Legion, but a thought came to her quickly of what she knew.

Olive: Akira... We're still seeing it. They've fused. A new fusion we've never seen!

Akira looked at Olive, but then came to the same conclusion as the commander had.

Akira: F-Fusion?! But... How-?!

Olive: The answers will come in due time, but for now, we need to be careful... This is... VERY quite unexpected...

Logan had his eyes closed as he opened them. He looked at his hands and body. Not saying a word as a voice called out to him.

Alan: What the F*** are YOU?! You're worse than a freak now! You're a MONSTER!!

Logan looked at Alan and glared at him. Logan got into a stance as the claws his Legion would have protruded from his arms now and charged forward at Alan. Alan had the idea to use his Legion to guard the attack, but Logan slashed the air to make a portal in front of him to enter.

Akira: He even gained the abilities of the Legion?!

Seeing Logan had vanished, Alan was being thrown for a loop as a portal opened next to him. Logan appeared through it as he took Alan's arm and gripped it tightly.

Alan: A-AAAAHHH! My arm!

Logan gave a soft chuckle as he twisted his body and threw Alan over his shoulder to send him flying across the room. Alan rolled on the floor while Logan went through a portal and appeared in Alan's path. When Alan rolled to a stop, he could see Logan had caught up to him quickly. In fear, Alan got up and tried to run, but Logan did a sweep attack on Alan and made a slash on the ground. A portal was made as Alan fell through it while Logan created another portal above the one on the ground. What led to next was Alan falling through portal, after portal, after portal, after portal. Alan could be heard cursing from how much he's falling as Logan chuckled at seeing Alan at his mercy. Akira and Olive watched the fight and talked about what they were seeing.

Akira: I thought he was gonna just beat Alan up. I NEVER expected to see... Whatever THIS is!

Olive: But is it a good thing, or bad that we are seeing this?

Akira looked at Olive with a questionable look.

Olive: We never saw this before. This is the FIRST time we see a different fusion of a Legionis and their Legion of its kind. Before, you and your brother experienced fusion when at near death... But that fusion led to losing control and attacking anything they saw... But Logan is experiencing it in a completely different way. A way where he's keeping his human form and not going berserk... Like... He's keeping himself sustained to just TOY with Alan right now.

Akira could understand what Olive was going by as it was a difficult topic to talk about. With Logan, he slashed a portal to his right and stepped out of the way quickly. Alan came flying out of the portal and rolled across the floor and crashed into the wall. Logan chuckled more as he began walking to Alan, causing great fear to him.

Alan: Legion!! Help!!!

The Fighter Legion charged towards Logan in doing what it is ordered to do. But to Logan, he didn't feel fear. He brought his right arm up to his left and swung out to backhand the Legion to send it flying to a wall. The crash the Legion had been dealt with disappeared in an instant, meaning it was on a recharge for the moment.

Alan: O-ONE HIT?! THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?

Logan smiled as he approached Alan still, ready to teach him a lesson. But before he could do that, Logan felt a pulse go through him. Logan yelled in pain in his chest as he went to his knees. Electricity surged from around Logan with the pain he was experiencing and could feel himself being torn away from his Legion. Once separated, Logan and his Legion returned to normal. As if the fusion had never happened. Logan's body, hair, eyes, hat and the lines on his face receded back to what they were before the fusion. The Legion roared out as it disappeared and reverted back into its core form. What followed was Logan beginning to groan in pain as he begins to redshift unexpectedly.

Olive: He's redshifting?!

Akira: But there was no chimera activity! How is he experiencing a redshift?!

Logan soon lost all strength he could use and fell to the floor from the lack of energy. Through his eyes, Logan could see Akira and Olive worried about what was going on and rushed over to him.

Akira: LOGAN!!

Narrator (David Vincent): After that, Akira calling out to him was the last thing Logan heard before passing out.

File 02. END.

Extra!

Soejammy and Neptune looked at the scene that unfolded and nodded.

Soejammy: Hmm... Not bad for using a narrator for the first time.

Neptune: So, can we keep David Vincent?

Soejammy sweated at Neptune's question.

Soejammy: David Vincent isn't a pet... He's a human being. And it's not like I can actually hire him... He's just a great narrator and voice actor for certain shows I like.

Neptune: But that's why we tried it out. To see if people would like it.

Soejammy: That is true. *looks at the audience* If you all liked the chapter, don't forget to vote to recommend this story to be read. But as for the new narrator insert, I would like to see comments if you want more like this or not. Your choice if you don't want to, but the feedback is greatly appreciated.

Neptune: And if you want more stories like how Jammy does it, don't forget to follow his page to get notified for new stories he makes! There are currently still existing ones he is working his bum on to give the same taste in stories as my series!

Narrator (David Vincent): As Soejammy and Neptune say their farewells for now, the great Narrator says his farewells to the audience also! Even when I'm a figment of imagination and although Soejammy is still stingy on the payment.

Soejammy looks at the Narrator and facepalms.

Soejammy: Oi... I feel this is going to be a recurring thing...
