Optimal and Silver 3

"Stop being an asshole! We heard about the explosion outside the bar... Do you mind if I ask what happened?" Ted responded "I can't tell you... sorry." Mayne understood and requested for the TV to be on, and one of the waitresses turned the TV on. "Thanks love." Ted tried to call Melanie but was unsuccessful "Trying to call your girlfriend?" Mayne hit Bolt in the head again, "Show some respect man." Bolt tried to convince Mayne that he was having fun "Yeah, I believe that you're not trying to hit on Ted's girlfriend." Ted stated, "Melanie isn't my girlfriend, at least, she doesn't see me like that... I just prefer to stick with friends for now." Mayne and Bolt sniggered. "What?" Ted was confused about what they were sniggering about "Aw come on Ted! Friends? Really? There has to be more than 'Just Friends' or is that an excuse for you to say that you didn't snog her." Ted ignored Mayne and focused on trying to call Melanie but nothing, he tried to call Rexx but it went to voicemail "Damn!" He put the phone down, and second's later, Ted received a phone call from Melanie "Ted!" Melanie sounded frightened "What's the matter?" Ted could hear Melanie stuttering "Listen, tell me where you are!" Before Melanie could say anything, her phone went static. "Hello? Hello? Melanie?!" Ted tried to call her again but she didn't answer "what's the matter?" Ted began panicking but he received a message from Melanie with her current location, Mayne snatched the phone and looked at the location "This is near the bunker... Ted!" Ted ran out of the café without taking his phone. He ran and ran until he made it to the bunker where he found Melanie and that she was tied up, "Ted!" he ran to Melanie but a small hook ran inside his left hand, Ted screamed in pain despite the small hook and another hook ran inside Ted's right hand "Knew you would show up..." Ted turned around saw three members that were wearing Hye Ryp Gang clothing and he recognized the member on the left.

"This is the one that killed my men? Hah! Pathetic, all of you! If this kid here can defeat heavily armed men then I'd rather be sucking a man's dick." The Hye Ryp Gang's leader spoke overconfidently about himself and talked poorly about his members "You must be Ted Mogwai, am I wrong?" The leader put his hand on Ted's outer jaw as he tried to get an answer from him "You're wrong..." Ted responded "I believe you mistake me for someone else..." the leader squeezed Ted's jaw at the mention of the word 'mistake' and he shouted, "Loco does not make mistakes." He proceeded to punch ted which made his nose bleed, Melanie begged Loco to stop but he proceeded to do it again but this time on Ted's jaw "Remember this babe, it was you that gave this piece a chance! And I seal his fate." The leader sticks a knife inside Ted's head and watches with twisted glee as his eyes face white "Let her go! Let her mourn this failed being." The members did what they were told and freed Melanie, she ran up to Ted who was lifeless, they released the hooks and watched as he fell to the ground. The Hye Ryp walked away but would meet their end when Melanie noticed Ted's hand healing, and without using his legs, Ted stood up as if he was a vampire.

The leader watched in fear as Ted's head healed instantly, his eyes turning forest green and his hand opened showing the Neuromancer blades "What the fuck?" The leader was trembling and forced his members to kill Ted but they were too afraid that they abandoned their leader "Traitors! Hey listen, let's be civil! I promise I won't approach Melanie again, please let me live!" The leader fell to the floor and grovelled, he even pissed his pants in fear. Ted let out a demonic roar that the whole street could hear, after he stopped, he returned to normal and gently slapped the leader's face. "Boo." The leader fell unconscious.
