After his dealings with the archivist in the old capsule corporation building, Otto had failed to acquire the data files that he had hoped to harness on cybernetic engineering. Luckily, the machine was able to provide him old maintenance logs that revealed the location of several cybernetics labs throughout the planet. One such lab had been right here in the Western Capital, but something didn't seem right upon Otto's arrival.
This side of the city seemed rather shabby, but was bustling with activity. Small market stands were set up selling fruits and vegetables, as well as various nick knacks. Vehicle traffic wasn't very high, but pedestrians in shabby looking clothes wandered around the streets. Sunset had come, but things didn't seem to be settling down much. Neon signs to things like gun stores, smoke shops, and bars were lit up in full swing. Many of the buildings that surrounded the area were boarded up. The worst part was that Otto's coordinates from the maintenance logs were not specific enough. He knew that he was in the correct city block, but he would have to search for the lab on foot from here. But nothing really... stood out.
After about a half an hour of searching, he felt a grumbling in his belly. The man in the power suit found himself at "Yoshi's Grill", a restaurant that served foods from the East. He drew some attention as he entered the bar, as any man in a mechanical suit would.
"Robot, we don't have anything for you here!" the man at the counter called out. Otto lifted the mask off of his face and the mans mouth opened up a bit. "Ohhh, so sorry sir! What could I get for you?"
"Cup of noodles please, nothing fancy, whatever is cheapest," Otto told the man as he sat down at the bar stool. He turned his head, hearing something of a commotion outside.
"Don't let it get to you, lots of fights break out on the streets around here. Lots of no good people out," the noodle man told him. Otto shrugged his shoulders back. It wasn't any of his business.

(PL 3500)
The sounds come close to the door. Soon, a young man pokes his head in, stumbling through the door on one leg, while the other is pushing someone back. After a moment of this odd struggle, the door finally snaps shut behind him, keeping his pursuer out. Turning his back to the door, he smiles. "YO! Yo-yo, get me the usual... Oh, and egg on top man. I skipped breakfast." The owner looks over at this odd young man in complete confusion as he makes his way toward the counter, having never seen this kid in his life. After pausing for a moment, he shrugs and gets him a noodle bowl with sliced egg on top. "You better have money, kid" Laetus sits at the counter next to Otto. He looks down at the bowl for a moment, then turns and looks at Otto's food. "Hey tin man, this stuff any good?" He asked, making it completely clear he has never been here before.

Otto turned his unmasked face over to the young man that had walked in, brandishing a sword on his back, not something you saw everyday. He turned his head back to the table as he accepted the cup of noodles from the chef. He then realized how difficult it was going to be for him to eat with only one hand open, the other being buried beneath his arm cannon. He shrugged and moved the bowl over in front of him, with his weaponized hand dangling down on his lap. He took a fork with his right hand and began slurping at the noodles.
He looked over again with a mouthful of noodles as the young swordsman asked him about the food. He put the fork down to give him a big thumbs up as he slurped the mouthful down.
"Yea it isn't bad," Otto said, ignoring being called tin man. He had gotten use to it by now. Laetus

Laetus smiled and began to dig into the food. "Mm... You're right. Pretty good." He said in between slurps. After a few moments he put down an empty bowl and demanded more. While he waited for another bowl, he turned his attention back to Otto. "So, I gotta ask, what's with the armor? Some kinda fashion statement?"

Otto grinned at the words Laetus spoke.
"I was about to ask you the same thing about the sword," Otto replied. "But I am guessing the answer would be about the same. This is my weapon, there aren't many like it, it is mine,"
Otto looked around the noodle shop for a moment, not much of a crowd. He turned back to slurping at his noodles but had a feeling the guy was still checking out his armor. He started to wonder if Laetus was some odd piece of the puzzle to finding the laboratory he was seeking out.
"It outputs more energy than some of those aliens can muster, built the thing out of arcosian parts... well the original anyways, that got torn up by some jerk. This one is made on earth, but just as good!" Otto

Laetus smirked. "Then its way different from my sword. I didnt make it the first time, and there's not a chance I know how to fix the old thing if something happened to it... Its an impressive looking piece. Who tore it up on you?" Laetus seemed genuinely interested. Somehow, something about this suit had caught his eye. Even as his food came up, he kept his attention on it.

Otto sighed as the young man asked him what had happened to his original power suit . "Well, I was after a pretty bad dude. An assassin that ended up on the bounty boards. The first time we met, he was incapacitated, but he must have done some hard drugs or something because he went crazy... then when we met again, he was out of his mind," Otto explained.
"He pretty much went all out with a suicidal attack. I matched him, but had to abandon the suit to survive the blast," Otto lamented. "Wasn't too far from here now that I think about it,"
Otto didn't say anything more. He didn't want to risk that someone might tie him to the property damage of the coffee shop that had been blown to smithereens last week. Revealing that he was a bounty hunter was probably enough to make some of the patrons a bit uncomfortable. Laetus

"Oh, damn. Well, that beats out any of my bounty hunt stories... You at least got the guy, right? Who was it anyway?" Laetus inquired, sifting through his bag to get out a few bounty notices.

"Yea he is a goner, collected the bounty a bit ago... what was his name? I think Drake Heln. Didn't really look into him that much but he was an assassin of sorts," Otto replied. "Oh ho, another head hunter. Looks like I have some competition, but don't worry, I am not working anything local right now," Otto said. Otto watched as Laetus began digging through his bag. His internal scouter told him the guy was definitely formidable, but maybe not quite in the big leagues yet. Hell, neither was Otto really. Laetus

Laetus paused for a moment, thinking the name sounded familiar, but he let the thought go quickly. He stopped looking through his bag. "If you aren't after anything here, what are you doing in a place like this?"

"Well... I am looking for something, an old building that is supposed to be around here somewhere," Otto replied as the chef brought out Laetus's noodles with an egg on top of it. "So far I havn't had much luck in finding it... I'm not sure where to look, everything around here is so... normal looking,"
Otto took another mouthful of noodles as he turned his head back to the front of the counter. Perhaps the old capsule corp lab was hiding in plain sight.

Heavy Weights on- PL 7928 Drake shot across the sky, the bottomless pit in his stomach driving him insane. Power! Power! He needed more power! Something drove him, like an ancient urge, to get power. He had to grow stronger, to be better. He would be able to beat anyone! Even that- that bounty hunter. Oh, Otto had thought he had killed Drake. But now he was stronger! Foolish, that bounty hunter. For in death, he had become stronger! He shot down, landing in the middle of the town. The citizens glared at him, none liking him. He looked back at him, his bright eye scanning them. Some gasped at the obviously robotic eye. No power levels in sight. He put the eye out of focus, disabling the scouter. He didn't need it now. He walked up to the building, looking at it. He could use some food. He forced open the door, standing in the doorway.

Post by Fin on Jan 8, 2016 0:33:42 GMT
Fin was running away from a group of BBA soldiers. Since the BBA heard the news that Fin had escaped, they sent all their forces to retrieve their quarry. They weren't going to lose the project they worked on for months. Fin looked behind him as he saw the soldiers start to close the gap between him and them. Bullets flew through the air as Fin continued to run through the city streets. this part of the city wasn't much for looks. "I can't believe humans allow places to look like this, this is horrendous," Fin said aloud angrily as he continued to run, drawing fearful and surprised faces to stare towards him. He then used this moment to chuck one of the benches near him at the people behind him. It hit the front-line of the armed people behind him, but the rest of them behind them were smart enough to move around the obstacle. He groaned. "Looks like humans aren't that incompetent after all. Impressive for a bunch of apes." Fin snorted. Why didn't they make their one goal in life to become complete? Why don't they focus on evolving? Becoming..Perfect. Unfortunately he was thinking about this too long and the soldiers managed to load up their mortar and aim it at Fin, and now the rocket was soaring towards the Bio-Android. He groaned. This would hurt a little bit. The rocket didn't exactly hit its mark though. it hit right behind Fin, which made him fly through the air and crash through a window into a diner kind of establishment. Fin took a look at his surroundings. He then emitted a angry screech which made all the people in the restaurant quickly run out. He hoped the soldiers had cleared out, thinking that Fin had been destroyed from the rocket. If they did, he'd snort again and say to himself, "Incompetent fools." He'd take a seat at the bar counter with the two other men. He'd say to the waiter, "Now then, get me a cup of Root Beer. Don't try to run, I will Kill you if you do." He'd then say to the other two, "Don't try to fight me, I'm not in the mood." The reason why he wanted root beer was because he had taken a liking to Human drinks. Its the only thing he admires about them. Their only true accomplishment. Other than their military weapons and advancements of course. He watched amused as the waiter hurriedly went off to do his orders. He grinned. He'd have to absorb him anyways though. "Do you two like training?" He asked the other two men curiously. Because of his saiyan cells, he loved fighting, so he was curious to know if they liked fighting as well.

Otto didn't have a chance to respond to Laetus, out of the corner of his eye, an all to familiar face walked into the diner. His unmasked eyes widened, and he rubbed them a bit in disbelief. It was..
Drake Heln...
He had just offed the guy probably a week or so ago, so how could it be. He remembered that all that was left of the guy was a husk of a corpse when their combined blast erupted in this very city. Despite that, here he was, ordering food in the same noodle shop as Otto. Something about him seemed off though, he remembered Drake Heln being crippled. Otto decided to face forward and continue eating nonchalantly. Maybe by some grace of Yemma it was just a doppleganger and he wouldn't have to deal with this situation.
Then he heard an explosive noise outside, and within moments a purple... thing... came crashing through the window, demanding a rootbeer. The shopkeeper rushed to the counter and grabbed one, his hand shaking as he handed the glass container over.
Perhaps this would be the perfect distraction for Drake, so that he could slip away. The strange creature began demanding to know if the people at the store enjoyed fighting and training, but Otto did no reply. He set his eyes on the back door, hoping that Drake and Laetus would get caught up with the bio-android so that he could make a hasty escape.
