Character Wipe – Cat's Eye View

It had been weeks since I had originally jacked in aboard the Asperitas. Of course I was supposed to be on the Carpe Diem, but due to a clerical error that is a story in itself. The truth was I had been found by the Merovingian and now I was now made to pay the price for the betrayal of my loyalty to the Frenchman.

During a particular mission I was over run and ambushed, and when I awoke, well … let’s just say that I’ve been living in Hell ever since. I was to pay for the so called ‘crimes’ that I had been causing against Exiles and the Frenchman. But even during my screams of pain during my ordeal, I knew I had to bide my time and survive until the moment for my escape.

Life for me consisted of a cold dark room with only a door and whatever else the Merovingian decided to put me through next.

Soon my patience would pay off.

I was awoken in the usual manner a kick to the gut or my back which was followed immediately by a weak moan from me. This time I saw three guards enter the room which was followed by his voice from the shadows.

“Naughty, Naughty Treylar … you should know better. You were once a loyal servant of mine and now you have been reduced to a traitor.”

I look over and see the Frenchman who is walking towards me with that smug grin on his face that I would give anything to knock off at this point.

“Your capture during one of your … how do you so fondly put it … ‘missions’ was nothing less than perfect. Even your torture for weeks now gives me great satisfaction. I’m always amazed at what you human can live though, but now … I’m most displeased to tell you that everything you have experienced till now has been in preparation for your end.”

He motions to a Club Succubus who walks up to the Frenchman with a silver platter that has an injection needle with a silver-ish looking liquid inside. He picks up the needle and instantly my eyes widen from recognizing what is inside.

“I see that you DO remember what this is. It is the ‘truth serum’ that was given to human captains during the war with the machines for the codes to Zion. You may be able to resist torture, but even you cannot resist this.”

I start to chuckle before I say, “You know Merv … I thought you’d have enough balls to actually finish me off yourself … guess I was wrong about you ...”

The look of shock goes across his face before the Frenchman begins to stutter and shout at me. “I-I-I have no s-s-such need f-for you or your d-d-delusion of grand-d-dure!”

Still smiling I reply back, “Yeah, but at least you don’t have that dumb-ass grin anymore.”

While the three guards were beating on me for my outburst, I notice from the corner of my eye that the door to the room I was in had been left open. Once they stopped playing ‘Mash the Treylar’, and I was left to feel the pain an agony they had inflicted on me, the Frenchman began speaking again.

“I should pump this in your veins regardless for you insolence and leave you to suffer!! But even then I wouldn’t have the satisfaction of knowing that you truly understood what is coming. Because you see there is a system wide upgrade coming and we both know what that means for you in the coming minutes.”

I think to myself … You gotta me shitin’ me! Got to get out now!

In between torturings and beatings I was deep in meditation and storing my strength for my escape, and that time had come.

The laugher of the Frenchman and his guards was broken when they saw me snap up to my feet and give a roundhouse to one of the guards which was followed by the faint snapping of his neck making a small echo in the room.

Next was the guard who was now in front of me. I gave him a power shot to the gut which sent him fly backwards into the Frenchman, and after I gave the last one a guardbreaker, quickly ran out of the room slamming the door behind me locking everyone inside.

After slamming the door I noticed my equipment and my cell phone on a table in the hall. I quickly grab it and my two pistols and look for an exit.

I turn around and see the sign for the staircase down the hallway. As I begin to hypersprint to the stairs I see a Brute come around the corner from an adjoining hallway just in front of the door.

The look of confusion was still all over his face when I hit him with a power shot that sends him crashing into the door for the stairs.

“Thanks for holding it for me!”, I say to him as I run past his unconscious body laying on the floor amongst pieces of the door.

Instinctively I run up the stairs and after two floors I find myself on the roof to which I’m greeted by the sounds of two Agents morphing in and drawing their guns towards me.

“As if my day isn’t bad enough!”, I say.

One of the Agents says before both open fire, ”It just got worse.”
I quickly run to the edge of the building and hyper-jump over the side to another building and from there I drop down to street level where I’m greeted by the sight of several exiles storming out from the front of the building where I was being held.

As I turn around to duck behind the corner of the building I jumped from, the two Agents from the roof cut me off and turn back around again and hyper-sprint out from behind the building and see the Exiles now closing in on me from my left as the bullets from the Agents behind me come wising past.

The group of Merovingian’s and the Agents collide with gunfire behind me as I hyper-jump back to the roof of a building and start going from roof top to roof top for several blocks before landing back down on street level, and completely exhausted.

Looking around for a phone booth I flip open my cell phone.

The voice on the other end was a welcoming sound, “What are you doing still ….”

“I need an exit! NOW!!” I yell into the phone as I pick a street to run down that leads away from where I left the groups that were following me.

“Where are you … Oh shit! Agents closing fast on your position, and gang of … Exiles. Who the hell did you piss off!?” the voice says.

“You’re the Operator … you find me! Just get me the hell out of here!” I yell back.

I look over my left shoulder and see several more Agents land behind me, and as turn to look over my right shoulder I see another gang of Exiles emerging from an alley.

“Ok, I got you.” The voice in the phone says. “And jump now!”

I hyper-jump to a nearby building to avoid the cross fire from the pursuing Agents and the mob of Exiles, and as I land on the building I begin to think to myself.

“Yeah, I’m going to jack for a little bit and do a few missions before bed. How did it go from that to being captured by the Frenchman and now getting my ass shot off? This was NOT in my travel guide!”

The voice in the phone interrupts my thoughts.

“You’re approaching the hardline. It’ll be across the street after you come around the corner. Get off the roof! The Exiles are coming up!”

Instantly I jump down to street level and see the phone after rounding the corner now with the Agents in hot pursuit.

Being almost completely exhausted of all my inner and mental strength I force myself to hyper-sprint to the hardline one last time and jack out before the receiver is destroyed.
