Chapter 5: Cobalt Light

Cobalt Light looked around throughout CyberSpace and wondered where he'd be able to find a job. It was a big place and despite getting paid for the beta test he still needed more money do actually do things in CyberSpace. It almost felt like a first person shooter for him. He just chuckled at the thought of it. Despite his choice for letting go of the past, it always found a way to catch up to him He walked around while looking on his map before bumping into another user.

"Watch where you're going kid." The big user said, clearly showing Cobalt that he was lacking intelligence to be civil. "Who are you calling kid, punk?" Cobalt (Axle) growled while choking the guy. There were three things that he didn't take lightly and one of them included people calling him a kid. "Tough guy now huh?" The unknown user smirked and that wasn't going to help him at all since the grimace on Cobalt's face grew a lot worse.

"Depends, does the murder of over thirty military soldiers plus one general count as tough?" Cobalt asked once more before lifting the user up into the air while maintaining his grip on his neck. He knew that his kill count was unbelievable for a civilian and that it would be assumed as some online gaming thing so he spoke with pure confidence.

"It's wise not to piss me off because I might just break your Cyberband and take your life." Cobalt told the user. "What are you?" The user asked in fear which helped Cobalt's growing smirk become deadlier. "A murderer and your worst nightmare if you ever think of crossing me again."

The user was lost for words and a few people noticed what was taking place. "You're ejected." Cobalt silently said before he jammed his hand into the user's chest like a spear. It penetrated his heart and he let out a scream of agony before he was enveloped in a blue glow, disappearing in a large amount of ones and zeroes.

"A user with the handle of 'Malice' was just ejected from the system ma'am." One of the scientists reported to Rebecca. "Cause?" Rebecca asked while having a sip of her morning coffee.

"His avatar was killed by another user who goes by the name 'Cobalt_Light'." Another scientist told her which made her sigh heavily. "Run up all info of this Cobalt Light character." Rebecca ordered the scientists while continuing on with her drink.

"Cobalt_Light, real name is Axle Ryder. Twenty one years old, born May 8th 2001, killed a General Simon Grey who was turned into a CyberHuman. Lost his family at the age of seventeen, turned cannibal for a short amount of time and he's killed about thirty to fifty soldiers during what the government chose to classify as top secret, the Cyber incident.

Former gamer who was called the Rosé Shadow and he was notorious on the battlefield in some games. He was known online as the Crimson Gorilla." The scientist said as he read Axle's secret government file.

After hearing this, Rebecca was shocked as she learned about the true Axle Ryder in the eyes of the military. She was stunned to say the least. She looked at her adoptive nephew from the monitors and wondered what was wrong with Axle and if he was human at all due to him killing a CyberHuman. She heard he had a rough past but this was ridiculous. Only thing asked was 'Who was Axle Ryder?'.

There were murmurs coming from the crowd as they all witnessed the level of intensity oozing out of Cobalt's avatar. Nobody liked the aura he was giving off and he seemed to like it. He looked around and noticed how much the people backed away in fear. He pressed the button on his band and noticed the amount of Credits he possessed had now increased. He noticed that he had acquired Malice's Credits after killing him and this had just further pleased the user.

Perfect. Cobalt thought before allowing a devilish smirk to appear on his face, giving everyone more thoughts that he was a sadist. "I have a feeling that I'm gonna LOVE CyberSpace." He quietly said to himself before walking off, ready to do something else while ignoring the stares he received from everyone.
