This place is fuck off big, like does it really need to be such a big city mean I've been walking for 2 full days and still in this city. It's so big infact that I'm getting annoyed to the point my body is adapting to be able to fly as noticed by the wings currently rapidly shifting is shape and texture to be able to generate enough lift so I can fly.
It takes awhile for me to adapt to flight but when I have finished doing so I now able to sprout red feathered wings and oh my god they look dead ass like hawks's wings.
I spread the longer than I am tall wings to their full length of about 7 meters long (or about 20ish feet) each wing decorated is crimson red feathers. With a flex of my back muscles that I just grew I flap them experimentally to get used to the feeling.
I got a lot of stares from just having the wings but when I actually lifted of the floor from just a single flap I could see their eyes glow as they started recording.
With a heave and a rush of wind I took off while generating a cloud of dust. After a out 20 minutes of flying I found a suitably tall skyscraper and landed on its side by digging my fingers into the concrete top floor while hanging off it.
Looking around the city from my new vantage point I make a mental map of the area in a shockingly similar way to Assassin's Creed. I ignored the bullets passing through my body and head from the corpo AV hovering next to me while I do this.
"Must you do this right now" I half heartedly ask knowing they won't stop at all. "You are trespassing on company property this offence is punishable by death" is all I got as an answer and not even from them it was from the loudspeaker on the front of the vehicle.
I sigh hard and just pull my fingers out of the building and fall while tucking my wings around me. My body drops like a rock and just before I splatter onto the pavement I spread my wings and flap hard changing all of my falling speed into flying speed even further boosted by my added flaps and the blacklight further adapting to flight.
With a bang I break the sound barrier and am just gone in moments to the other side of the city to my destination.
When I reach the area I want I spread my wings catching the air in just the right way to slow down and stop just above my destination, directly above the afterlife club.
I drop to the ground with a thud that rattles some of the nearby metal objects as my wings fold back and my hoodie forms over me.
I walk down the stairs and into the entryway knowing I probably won't be able to enter but wanting to try my luck anyway.
"Who are you" the massive man at the door asks in a gruff voice when I stop Infront of him. "Name's Alex Mercer" his face goes black for a moment and I see his eyes light up while he probably checks something.
"Never heard of ya get lost" I smile at that and nod before patting him on the shoulder "yeah alright that's fair" I nod and leave while I flip the shard to took from his pocket back to him.
"Keep you eyes peeled muscles" I wink at him and my hoodie back dissolves letting my giant red wings unfurl.
I walk out of the afterlife with nothing but a new mission, to fuck with the status quo as much as possible and I know where I want to start. With a flap of my wings I blast off the ground and disappear into the distance aiming for the top floor of Arasaka tower after hearing news of the emperor is in town but not the news he's dead yet.
With the crash of industrial strength material they use in the glass around here I demolish the main window of Arasaka tower's top floor sprinkling the glass like stuff all over the empty room. I remake my arms after they were pulverised from the entry and walk over to the office area of the top floor ignoring the bullets ripping into me constantly.
It's only when I sit in the chair belonging to the emperor that the turrets stop firing at me and people start rushing into the room.
I ignored the yelling for me to surrender and other stupid stuff as I focus on the man at the back of them. It's a old man in a traditional Japanese kimono that I recognise as Saburo Arasaka the emperor himself.
After the security guards have done the whole yelling at me to surrender and riddling me with an armory's worth of bullets the big man himself raises his hand at they all stop.
"What do you want" I smile that the man himself actually wants to talk to me. "Nothing really I'm just bored and decided I want to fight smasher so I needed to get his attention" he looks almost confused for a moment and asks "why seek a fight with Adam of all people" my smile turns into a bloodthirsty grin at his question.
"I want to see which is better metal or meat" I start rippling the skin on my arms till the hunters claws begin to form like in the game.
He looks at the claws with almost unnoticeable confusion but after a moment he just doesn't care any more and moves on.
"If you wish to die by smasher then be my guest but not in my tower" I nod acquiescing to his point and getting up at the same moment smasher arrives out of what I think is an express elevator. The sight of him makes the rest of the guards shudder in fear but just makes me grin harder.
"Is this the meatsack that wants to die" smasher asks Saburo Arasaka in an almost polite voice, the emperor nods at his question and explains what happened so far.
"So you want to see if your pathetic meat can win against me?" I grin harder and unfurl my wings to their full wingspan. "I'm gonna turn that tincan inside-out and eat the gooey inside" the guards shudder even more at the downright demonic grin spitting my face.
"Then you have you elaborate suicide attempt meat" after the threats Saburo cuts in and explains that if we are fighting then it will be later in a actual match streamed live in an attempt to scare me but all it does is make me more eager for the fight.
"Then we will see you at EBM Petrochem Stadium in two days young man" I nod and give my wings a flap and blasting out of the room after saying one last thing "this is gonna be fun tincan"
