Last Man Standing: Ep. 3-2

----The Swordsman----



After continuous practice with the blade (which seemed like days for Destroyer, when it was really only a couple of hours), he began to understand the blade's power. The electric "charge" of the blade increased with the increase of his rage. At the moment, this burst of rage was fueled by Dr. Robinson, who spat out sarcastic comments every time Destroyer swiped the blade.

After what seemed like an eternity, Destroyer was directed back to his room, where he collapsed in a heap. He had faced obstacles when he roamed across the dead land, searching for survivors. It made him strong and fit. But these practice sessions were...something else. He didn't know if it was because of the new artificial parts weighing on him, but either way, he never wanted to practice again.

Suddenly, his door burst open, and an armored guard stepped in.  Destroyer barely had the strength to sit up to face him, but he didn't need to. The guard pulled him up aggressively , and yelled, "Where did you hide it?!" Destroyer stared at him as if he had three eyes and two noses. "W-what are you talking about?"

As if on cue, Robinson appeared on the TV screen behind him. The guard threw him around to face Robinson, who was red in the face. "Don't play dumb with me now, you scum! Where did you hide the electric blade?! We don't have it in our armory, and we've searched every corner of the compound...except for this room. So, spit it out! Where is it?"

Destroyer chuckled. "You know, just because you can't keep track of your stuff...that's not my problem. All I know is that I don't know what you're talking about..." Robinson looked as though he was about to burst out in rage. Instead, he pulled out a device and pressed one of the buttons. Suddenly, Destroyer went limp. He fell to the ground as Robinson said, "I don't think you understand. I have control of you. I made the parts that keep you alive. You think I wouldn't make a way for me to keep you in line?"

Destroyer panicked. He didn't expect for Robinson to break out the device. Suddenly, he felt a burst of pain through him, and he screamed in agony. He felt as though he was going to fall unconscious. He then heard the guard behind him say, "Wait a minute, sir. It's right here. He was hiding it under the bed."

Destroyer swore under his breath as feeling returned to his body. The guard walked out, and the screen went blank.
