WALEED- Alright kid. (dashes with a kick)
BAIZHI- (blocks but flies away)
WALEED- (jumps towards him high to punch him)
BAIZHI- Dammit (blocks again but gets crashed to another street)
KNIGHT- Baizhi!!! Bruh, I need to call a higher up.
REPOSED- I'll handle the crowd. You go look after Baizhi.
.
WALEED- (lands in front of him) Now you will see my true strength, Kid.
BAIZHI- (stands up)
WALEED- Enough of you ranting on me. I would have crushed you if we weren't in HQ.
BAIZHI- Don't be so full of yourself.
WALEED- Or what? All you can do is cry about me in front of your higher-ups like a fat p**sy.
BAIZHI- Because ethics matters. Unlike you who thinks himself superior by bullying the weaks.
WALEED- Maybe just not be weak? (jumps at him to attack again)
BAIZHI- (blocks again, kicking him away)
WALEED- (loses balance) Uh, nice one.
I need to stay defensive until someone higher up responds to my report.
WALEED- I'll make sure you cry for mercy. (jumps at him with back-to-back punches)
BAIZHI- (dodges, blocks, blocks, dodges, blocks, dodges, blocks)
WALEED- (while punching continuously) What happened now? Not gonna try attacking me? Are you that scared of me now? Loser?
BAIZHI- (while continuously blocking) As much as I want to crush you... I can't betray the ethics I'm supposed to follow.
WALEED- Oh? (hits him with a powerful punch)
BAIZHI- (blocks but gets crashed to a wall due to high impact) Ack...
WALEED- Guess who's dying tonight :)
Only if I was not an SP...
WALEED- (gets punched away by someone else, crashing away)
BAIZHI- (spits out blood) Uh...
????????- (lends him a hand) Are you gonna wake up or staying there like a weak asshole? [NAME: TRAKKTOR, LEADER OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT, HEAD & LEAD DEVELOPER IN DEFENSE SECTOR, MASTERY 3 IN LOGIC WEAVER]
BAIZHI- Right... (takes his support and stands)
TRAKKTOR- Are you skid or what?
BAIZHI- Huh?
TRAKKTOR- That idiot was gonna turn you into pulp. Thankfully, Knight called me on time. Aren't you supposed to fight back?
BAIZHI- I did yesterday... but I was ranted by UTF and Miller for that...
TRAKKTOR- Yeah, that was a fair one, but right now, he broke several violations, including harassing someone higher than him. In that case, don't hold back.
Right.
WALEED- RAH!!!!! I won't leave any of you. (attacks Trakktor with a punch) Huh?
TRAKKTOR- (stops one-handedly) Perhaps you skipped your arm day today. (punches him down to earth, crushing the road)
BAIZHI- Wha-
TRAKKTOR- Oh jeez, this is the 5th time I damaged civil properties.
BAIZHI- (;-;)
WALEED- (he stood suddenly, pushed both of them) RAH!!!!!!!!
TRAKKTOR- (got pushed but didn't flinch)
BAIZHI- Uh... (loses balance)
TRAKKTOR- He's being annoying now.
WALEED- I'm not gonna hold back now. (gets restrained behind by ropes coming out of the roads)
BAIZHI- Huh? What's that-
MILLER- (eyes and one of his nerves on the arm glowing pink) Miller was... called.
BAIZHI- Miller!!!
TRAKKTOR- Too late buddy, I came early.
BAIZHI- Wait, isn't using Resonic Skills against the protocols when dealing with violators?
TRAKKTOR- Do you think this idiot can be handled without Resonic Skills?
BAIZHI- I don't know... I am not in a position to make a decision.
TRAKKTOR- Yes, you are, idiot. You're an SP.
BAIZHI- And I was scol-
MILLER- Can you guys stop arguing and help Miller instead-
TRAKKTOR- Ah, right.
WALEED- (breaks through the restraints and pulls him with the ropes to punch him)
MILLER- Whoa- (gets pulled)
TRAKKTOR- Hey-
BAIZHI- (cuts through the ropes and kicks Waleed to the other building) Miller, you okay?
MILLER- Miller's all good with no wounds.
TRAKKTOR- Don't you think you hit him a little harder?
BAIZHI- Oh, c'mon, you told me not back.
TRAKKTOR- This much you were holding back?? Yeah, buddy, you're better off holding your rage back.
BAIZHI- Bruh (T-T)
WALEED- (stands up) How dare you...
MILLER- Are we...
TRAKKTOR- Buddy, I think you need rest.
WALEED- I'll rest after smearing myself with you all's blood. (gets trapped in the road) Ugh, what the-
TRAKKTOR- Uh?
BONES- Enough. (with glowing blue eyes, holding him using his skill)
MILLER- Bones!!!
BONES- I have never seen such a trainee before. He needs some special treatment.
WALEED- Ugh...
TRAKKTOR- Whoa whoa chill. We did what we were supposed to do, even going beyond limits.
MILLER- Right.
BONES- Sure, I guess.
WALEED- RAHH!!!!!!
TRAKKTOR- (uses his skill to throw a brick on his head)
WALEED- (gets his head hit by the brick, gets unconscious)
BONES- And that wasn't beyond limits?
TRAKKTOR- I mean if you're interested in hearing his nonsense.
MILLER- Anyways... Miller has reported Kae regarding this incident.
TRAKKTOR- I'll talk to her personally regarding this.
BONES- (thumbs up)
Oh no...
.
(the next day at HQ)
BAIZHI- Ouch- it burns-
RAMOS- You really should stand for yourself sometimes.
BAIZHI- But...
KNIGHT- I take a little bit of accountability. I was worried because his rage is uncontrollable sometimes.
RAMOS- I don't blame you, Knight. Nor do I blame Baizhi. As much as you both are experienced, you still need to learn a lot to face such situations.
KNIGHT- Agreed.
RAMOS- And Baizhi, you did well by trying to follow the protocol. But don't compromise yourself for the sake of rules. We never said to get hurt by a violator.
BAIZHI- Right... I still have a lot to learn...
RAMOS- Give yourself some time. I'm sure you will.
BAIZHI- Thank you.
TRAKKTOR- (comes out of Kae's Cabin) Alright, so good news, Waleed is suspended for a week.
RAMOS- Nice.
BAIZHI- Why not just fire him, bruh?
TRAKKTOR- As much as I wanted the same, it was your leader's decision to give him a chance to realise what he did.
Kae... you can't be serious...
BAIZHI- Lemme talk to her.
KNIGHT- (stops him) Don't. I can already tell she's stressed with this situation. Better not talk about it with her for now.
BAIZHI- But he's not gonna hear anyone- I know he's not gonna fix himself. We need to-
KNIGHT- Baizhi.
(deep silence in the hallway)
KNIGHT- I said. Calm down.
RAMOS- He's right, calm yourself down. A decision taken under rage is never the right decision.
TRAKKTOR- True.
BAIZHI- Fine...
TRAKKTOR- I'll check on others. Can we talk about some adjustments later, Ramos?
RAMOS- Sure.
TRAKKTOR- Alright. (He leaves)
RAMOS- Baizhi, I'll say you should take some rest. You have been looking after trainees for a long time. Maybe focus on yourself and getting stronger, hmm?
Right... I have a goal to achieve as well...
KNIGHT- I'll look after the trainees. I'm sure Kae will be fine with that.
RAMOS- Indeed.
BAIZHI- Then I'll take a day off...
RAMOS- Hmm, you should.
