The dark corner was providing some shelter.The city's horrible stench was almost unbearable for a newcomer , but for her it was a reminder she was still alive.The city wasn't very active in this part of town. She didn't spot anyone pass by for over ten minutes.
-It's in bad shape but it would do.-She tough after quickly examining the hologram projector.
Two shadows apeard on the other side of the street.

-You think we 'gonna get in trouble for this Mike?I mean we did loose the KR-11 projector.The chief of the police wont be happy to hear that.-a bulky man was talking.It was hard to imagine they made uniforms this big to fit a policeman as fat as that.The man leaned on his left and tried to scrach his leg.It was obvios that even this simple task was to hard for his bulk.After finishing the *mission* to scrach his leg the man raised his voice and starting talking to the man called "Mike" , near him. - So you got anythink on that scaner? The thief can't be far , that projector is quite heavy for a man to hold and run at the same time...a ?

The other man looked focused on the little devise in his hand , rather then paying any attention to his partner talk.He was by far smaller in size then his parthner.

-Listen , shut up Dave.He might be near and when he hears that hole you call a mouth talk , do you think he would stay and wait for us to get 'em? - Dave wannet to complain but hold his tongue and just asked.
-So have you picked anything yet?
The tech , Mike holded in his hand , projeceted a small beam of light to the surface of the street.He was holding the little scaner with one hand and T-5 stun-gun in the other.
-Not yet.Hey you don't think this is 'her' doing don't you ? - he seemed rather worried.
-You mean that little bitch?Lets pray it's her.'Cuz if it we can kiss this ****ing job goodbuy and retire.I can sure use the mill for that whore's head.
-Hey look..I got somethink.On the surface of the street apeard small , lit in green footprints.
-Those are womens footprints! Thats it,I'm calling for back-up, I'm not taking any chances with her.Before he even took the transmitter to call for reinforcements.Dave had pushed him to the back of a wall.His face was only a hand away from his own.The bulky cop's breath was a mixture of **** and donuts , or like Mike always said *one and the same*. Dave cleared his throat and stater talking , almost whispering.

-If I loose one mill just because you are too chicken to catch that bitch without back-up , I'll kill you.

He then let Mike go nad started talking like nothing happend.

-So where do those tracks lead to ?

Mike was abit shocked for a moment but he quickly snapped out of it and replied.

-Well..yeah...umm...They apear to be freshly made , as freash as 5minutes ago.So whoever this is , she is our guy.The tracks lead to that corner over there. Dave ...DAVE ...Stop day dreaming of what you'r gonna do with the money.We don't even know if it's her.

-I have a feeling Mike , it's that bitch that has been giving the force a tough time these days.I've never seen such a big bounty in this place.1 million for a criminal in Denvar is big stuff.And from what I heard from the reports, thet little whore won't be of any problem to me....What do you say Mike..MIKE ?

When Dave turned 'round he saw his partner curled on the ground holding his bleeding nose.A young woman was next to him.There was blood dripping from her fist.

-HAahahhaah ... So it is YOU.This must be my lucky day!Finaly I would retire from that ****ing job and settle down somewhere else.Aldo I have to admit you are pretty good for beating Mike like that.But what do you say you turn yourself in , I don't wanna mutilate that pretty face of yours , ha?

There was no responce from the young woman.She was close to 175 cm tall ,wearing something that looked more like beggars robes then actuall clothes.The only colour in her entire fugure came from her blue eyes.But there was no emotion , no expretion in them.The only think a person could see was emptines and cold.

-If you don't want to come quitely then I have to...- he reached for the stun-gun.But before he could grab hold of it's handle his wrist made a horrible braking noise.The woman was holding his hand and his wrist was lifelessly hanging on one side.

-You saw my face.I cannot let you leave alive.-the words came clear.With no emotion in them , like a needle to thrue the ears of the listener.

-You little bitch...- With his other hand , Dave reached for his stun-club.But before that he found two fingers stuck in both his eyes.Before the corpse fell on the ground the girl took his stun-club and forced it into his moutn.After a couple of shots , when she was sure his brain was crisp-fried she turned to Mike."That punch definatly broke my nose* - he tough , but when he saw the smoking remains of his partner he tought that it could have been worse.His focus was still mixed up from the pain coming from his broken nose.

-If you turn around and see my face I will kill you like him.If you don't , then there is a good chance you might see your family again. - her voice was coming from behind him.Stripped of any emotion and cold.

"Who ...." - that was his last word before the stun-club left him unconscious.

The woman saw a small beeping devise on the officers uniform.It flashed red and made a small *beep*beep* noice.

"Mother ****er...he had a "panic button" " - she ran to the hologram projector and started transmitting.

"I am interested in your ... organisation..I have heard rumors 'bout you and I apear...interested in your work.For now I don't know if I can trust you with my name or location.But this little drone I'm sending the message with,contains a code of a frequency that I will listen to if you show interest in me." - The sounds of people coming closer and closer made her rush things up "I haven't much time to transmit so this is it for now..." The small drone flew fast and left orbit.

-One killed and the other is in a coma ! Where is she ....??

-Sir...I think I found our missing equipment.- The hologram projector was now a burning pulp of wires and tech.

-Damn that bitch....

Personal Story >

Planet Denver ten years ago...

-So whats up daddy? When are going to finish that ... chapse chip... (space ship) ? - Those words came from a little girl.She was having trouble pronouncing some letters corectly.Her beutiful green dress was making her diamont blue eyes shine.She was no more then 11 years old.He father had made a little swing for her in his old garage.It was dusty , dirty and smelly there but the child seemed used to it.She swinging and watching her father work on a project.

-It is called *space ship*.You realy have to work on your language.Witch reminds me, have you done your homework ? - a big dirty and worned out face apeard from the starborn chamber of the craft.He looked far older then he realy was.His face was filled with cuts and bruises.And he looked , even with all that dirt on his face , pale sick.

-No.... - she blushed when saying that.And turn her face away from her father.

-No ? Why is that? - his voice was calm and gentle.The young girl looked at him and cried out.

-Teacher doesn't let me in class again.... - She started crying and began to swing faster and faster.

-Oh , no ? And why doesn't she let you in class? - He stopped the swing and looked her in the face. - Please tell me , there is nothing to be ashamed of.

-Well...she said you haven't paid the bill for the past two mounths.And that...and that...I can't go back unless you do.

-Oh..dear...I'm sorry , I will try to find the money until the.... - he was interupted by the scream of his doughter.

-NO! I know..I know how hard it is for you without mommy.I don't want to go school...I don't ! We need the money , so I will stay here and he..help you build - she tried realy hard this time - sp..a..ce..sh.ips. - her look was determined and focused.

-Robin , listen to me. I know how much you want to help , but trust me.All I want is for you to finish school.Learning is power ! And you must learn to become someone in this crazy world.I will find the money , that is my problem not yours.So don't worry , I'll get a pretty good paycheck for fixing this old fighter.It was a special order from a liberty officer. And it's almost finished.You want to start the engine for a test ? - A huge smile apeard on the child's face.

-Do I...? - she ran to control module in the cockpit and started the main thrusters. - So....? How is it , dad ? - she was screaming to get thrue the sound of the engine.

-Ok ... cut it now . It works perfectly. Now he should be here any...

*Buzz*Buzz*

-Oh , that must be him now. You better behave on your best , Robin.
-No problem ! - she returned to the swing.

-What do you mean I'm late for the repairs...? I have the contract right here.It says until Monday! Today is Sunday , I'm even finished earlier. - The father was explaining to the officer.His face was now even paler and stressed.

-I'm sorry , sir . But that contract we made with you.... - he reached for the sheet of papper and tore it in half - ....is no longer valid. - he had a smirk on his face , a grin even.The corrupted cop was enjoying this.Seems like he fed his very soul from the despair of the broken man before him.

-Bull****! You can't do that .. I ...I need that money for my doughter.Please , I will do everything... - he was on his knees begging the officer.Small tears apeard below his eyes.

-Are you saying that the LAW is wrong ? - his grin was still there.Like it was glued to his face.
-If you continue to take anymore of my time I will have you arested!-the officer took his stun-club and raized it in the air-Did I made myself clear you piece of s...

-Don't touch him! - The young girl had her father's antique Plasma-based gun in her hands and pointed at the policeman.

-What is this?I didn't know you realy had a dougher . I was almost sure you were lying to me just to get paid. - he looked at the young girl and said. - How would you like to be my ... personal assistant , aa ?? Hhahaha

-You dirty , son of a...- the stun from the club hit the poor man and he fell on the ground.

-He has a weak heart you meanie! - the lawinforcer then turn 'round and started walking towards her.With that same grin on his face. - Don't ... please DON'T - the gun fired.It wasn't used in over thirty years but it worked like a charm again.Those type of weapons were banned for being inhumane a long time ago.Her father had warned her of that and now she saw why is tht , because she could see right thrue tge clean hole in the chest of the officer.His grin faded and he fell on the ground in , soaked in a pool of blood.

-Dad....DAD ... noooo ..

5 years later. Planet Denver > Hofskirm town.

The young man was in his new ship.Finaly , after a whole year of kissing asses and bribing people.He was a *servant of the law*.Having nothing else to do , he decidet to look thrue the old criminal record.After ten minutes of searching he found something that interested him.

-Whats this...

*For the murder of two people in coldblood and one of them was her own father.This child is to be found and captured alive.There is a reward waiting for whoever can deliver her to us....*

-What did I say 'bout reading that stuff Stan ? Are you stupid or somethink.-his partner was talking at 'em.His uniform was like a candy store,stains everywhere and coffee spills.

-What do you mean ?

-That stuff is more then five years old you niny.

-What...? Hey Jo , you are with the force longer then six years.This old record is incompleat.You have to know what happend with that girl.

-Nothink realy.The police never captured her.She was on the main pages of the news pappers for a year or so.But people forgot all 'bout her.I'm sure she is long dead by now.Aldo the funny think is that there has been sightings of ... what apears to be ... an young woman that apears to be on the right age as this one is.She has been making trouble 'round here for a while but nothink interesting.There is no evidence that they are the same person.The intersting thing is that that old 400.000 credits bounty on the child is still valid.Why would the bounty be still valid after so long.I can't say.

-Yeah...thats like a mistery 'round these parts , a ?

-You are asking too many questions , on busness that doesn't concern a rookie.Like I told you she is probly dead from a long time.

2 years later

-We know you are still here! And we have your name now and a picture of you.There is are NO more places for you to hide.You did well eveding us those past 7 years,but this ends here and now. -Seven well trained and strong men entered the hanger.Everyone had standert navy equipment : Energy-powered Shield in one hand , stun-riffle in the other and a black suit that looked more like an armor.There helmets had flashlights on them and a standart on-board computer to scan for any life signs.

-Yeah..what do you though would happen after killing a high ranking Navy Captain.You are going to tell us everythink we want.And then meet the diobium-gas chamber.

-Goddamn it.Its dark like a cave in this hanger.Team , switch to infrared...

Before he had the chance to compleet the sentance.The whole hanger lit up.It was a old ship factory , wich was abandoned after the firm lost all it's money and was forced to leave the busness.

-Dear mother and God... - all the officers were standing infront of somethink that apeard to be a ship.It was like the creation of D.Frankenshtain.Made by the parts of many old ships.It was nothink much to look at but the guns on each of it's sides apeared quite real.

-All system read green.-said the computer to Robin.She was in the cockpit and preping the ship.

-Computer , start loading the Plasma guns.

-Affirmative - processing ...33%..56%...87%...99% ..100%. Weapons at maximum energy.

-Does this think even work.

-Nah...it's probly were she lives...this can-opener will never fly..

-Hey..whats that glow...

-****...

-That bitch...she is loading....

-Aa..s...

-Mission contol? Captain Burgain ...Captain ? Are you there.

Robin picked up the captain head.His and the parts of his comrads were scattered all...around the hanger.She took the small , screaming transmitter and said very calmly.

-Bring in the body-bags.

-What ... Oh ****!

Minutes later the ship took of from the hanger and was headed to what she tought was a save place.

-I can't do this alone Sam (the name of the on-board computer).I need some help.

-That is correct.One single person , cannot hope to acomplish what he or she wants.Wich reminds me..what do you want , Robin ?

-Revenge...


Current day : Monday

Current time : 12/34 PM

Current Location : Pueblo Base , Bar

-You see that , a ? - The fat man was screaming at the even more drunk friend of his.

-That little bitch is now worth 1.2mill.'Cuz two days ago she wasted one cop and put the other in coma.

-Yeah...Imagine how much boose we can buy with that money..

The whole bar started laughing at the two drunks.

Two bounty hunters were sitting at a table a long way from the drunk jokes of the two idiots.They were looking at the poster of the young woman.

*Nico Robin*
*Wanted dead ot alive*
*1.200.000 million credits*

-Rumors say she is looking for allies.-the masked man said.He was wearing a black jacket with a black band around his face.

-Indeed.They also say that the Rogues want her dead too.She tried to join them , but was later seen killing two of there most powerfull officers in Buffalo.She is out of control.And the money is worth it.

-I heard that the only faction that can accept her is *that one*.

-You mean *them*.She has to be crazy to join their ranks.On the other hand...from what I heard she is crazy.

-The Xenos have some nice bounties on there own.If we can folow her to there base we can hit the score big time.

They were both looking at a distant table were a young woman was eating ,very fast.She looked like ground zero from a tornado.The only thing that made her alive were does eyes of hers.Constantly looking from person to person.

-If she spots us our plan is ruined.

He turned his head back and quickly said.

-She's gone....hey..do you hear..

His partner head-dived into the soup infront of him and the bounty hunter spottet a kitchen knife in the back of his head.

-He..

Another knife was in his mouth now and shortly after that a ship undocked from Pueblo.

10 hours later

The voice was cold and dark.Much like her own.His face was hidden.The only think she could see were the other two guys with him."Probly for protection" - she tought.

-I haven't shown my face so openly infont of people who know who I am-she was abit scared.But didn't let them notice that.-I want to join your ranks.How do I preceed from here on ?

The shadow clapped with his hands and one of the *guards* stepped forward.

-So this is a test ?
Before she had the chance to say more or do anythink else.The man was holding her neck and his gun was touching her forehead.

-Fine...shoot me now and get it over with!

-You have much more to learn... - the voice of the man in the shadows said.His voice was like hers.Stripped from emotion and feelings.*So they are the real thing* - she tough

-So .. ? Can I join you or you kill me here ?
