DANG this is a good one!!

It feels like they’ve been running from Arasaka’s legion of troops for hours. ‘Saka tower might be a fortress on the outside, but the inside was designed like a labyrinth, full of winding corridors and guarded security checkpoints. Some hallways have no function at all, something V painfully realizes as she’s trying to outrun a squad of corporate soldiers.

Shit. She skids to a halt. They’ve run into another dead-end. The world slows as V takes cover behind a spontaneous craving machine, several bullets whizzing by her left ear. She swiftly pulls her sniper rifle out and steadies it on her shoulder, squinting through the viewfinder. With her pulse on the trigger, three bullets ring out: three seconds pass, three bodies fall.

Reload. Fire three sniper rounds, reload again. V’s fingers are practiced and Johnny’s military experience keeps her steady, prepared for the fight of her life.  After 5 minutes, she runs out of sniper rifle ammo, so she switches to her assault rifle. When the tell tale hitch in the rifle echoes in her ear 10 minutes later, she finds herself down to Johnny’s trusty Malorian.

Four elite guards appear with long, silver katanas. They’re nothing like the mass of bodies sprawled on the ground, dressed in long black coats and glittering optics that reflect dangerously in the emergency lighting. They dart towards V like grasshoppers, much faster than his Malorian can manage, even with her lightning quick reflexes.

Johnny can sense the relic malfunction coming before it happens, his nerves setting off all of the body’s alarm bells, “Need to delta- “ The words don’t come out fast enough, because the next thing he knows, V crumbles to the floor and everything fades to black.

They wake up in Mikoshi, with Saburo Arasaka leaning over them.

“What a pity,” Saburo addresses V, “you’ve muddled Silverhand’s engram with your own. We’ll just have to dissect the integrity of it…manually.” He smiles ominously as he reaches for V’s head.

“Wait no-“  V and Johnny both shriek in anguish as Saburo rips the relic chip from the back of her bloody skull.

Flatlined.

——————————

Johnny’s eyes shoot open. V’s woken up in a puddle of cold sweat, the sheets tossed halfway across the room. Between her anxiety and his restlessness, it felt like they were going to take off into orbit any second, so Johnny deltas out of her body as quick as he can, materializing across the bed from her.

“Shit- fucking Saburo.“ V stammers, barely completing her sentence before covering her mouth to fight the nausea. She feels like she’s going to throw up any second. “I’m not up for this, Johnny. Nope. Fuck this.” She stands up to try and make it to the bathroom, but falls to her knees instead. Her fingers tightly grip the carpet, the clamor in her head overwhelming her senses.  

“V. It wasn’t real.” Johnny stoops down next to her, lighting a cigarette. He can feel the buzzing panic in her throat; hear the incessant knocking of every bad memory demanding to be let in. He wasn’t going to let Saburo Arasaka win against anyone, especially not V. “Saburo Arasaka is a corpse, rottin’ away in some ditch somewhere. Not a fate you need to worry about.” He tentatively places his organic hand on her shoulder for reassurance.
