Feuer had seen and learned enough of his current situation. With reality having gone to hell he figured it was time to start making allies. But who could he trust? who else could he share his burden with? He didn't know. Feuer had managed to secure funding for himself for years to come. He made it a habit of raiding supply ships and trailers for the last few years and selling the materials. It wasn't too hard either considering no one he had come across so far was able to match up to him even remotely. Not in hand to hand combat or their mechs. It didn't help that they were using old and outdated techniques compared to where he was from. Still he had figured it was worth a shot trying to recruit anyone he thought that could be of use in the upcoming battle. He decided, the best place to start searching would be the current city he was in, where ever that was. Traveling through the city on yet another motorcycle he had stolen some time ago, he decided the best place to check would be military service recruiting stations. How was he gonna test their mettle? was he going to show up in Apokalypse and start terrorizing everyone? no. He had a much simpler plan. Taking out an item from the pouch on his motorcycle, he tossed it through the window shattering the glass. It was an archaic explosive device. He shouted "GRENADE" and decided to watch how many people ran out of the building. Anyone who ran from it were cowards not worthy of his camaraderie, Even more so since there were far to many people crowded around for anyone to get anywhere. So to him, the first prson to jump on that so called grenade to risk their life for everyone else was going to be a partner of his. However, inside that cyber brain of his the the third option never crossed his mind. That is to say, he snapped out of his self admiration for a second and realized the toy he tossed into the window was coming back at him. Feuer caught it in his hand right before it hit his face and thinking quickly tossed it into the air and watched it explode. Feuer thought to himself, who in the world would have thought about tossing the grenade back at him, especially with all the people around who were now panicking and scrambling to get away from the area? As he looked on, he noticed a figure step through the glass window. "A woman?" Feuer said surprised. Yes, it was a woman. She had brown shoulder length hair and green piercing eyes. Scanning her, she was only 5'4 130 pounds. Feuer could have flicked his wrist and offed her. She ran at him and in mid sprint leaped into the air converting into a high speed drop kick. Feuer had simply caught her leg and slammed her into the ground. "You're brave. Throwing the grenade back at me and then charging head first at me, you're not even half of my size. That takes real spirit. What do you know about piloting robots?" he said as he let go of her leg. The young woman got up as fast as she could and back into a fighting stance. "Who the hell are you and what do you think you're doing, throwing a grenade in a civilian area? do you know how many people would have been killed?" she said angrily. "It was a test. I had rigged it so that if sufficient heat covered it, like a human bodies, it wouldn't have exploded, I was counting on someone in there being brave enough to sacrifice themselves for the people. You throwing it back at me was what put people in danger., but I doubt you didn't realize that." Feuer said with a piercing gaze. "Sometimes people have to die for the greater good, if a few people had to die to bring down a potential terrorist then so be it." she said almost proudly. Feuer didn't know how to respond, such cruelty, such ruthlessness. She was willingly to sacrifice a bunch of people in order to take him down. He hadn't met to many people willing to go to such lengths to stop a [i]real[/i] threat, let alone a potential one. "Where have you been all my life" Feuer said grinning. "How would you like to join me, together we can save the universe" he said sticking his hand out. The woman stared at him, confused, before answering him. " So you come here, endanger people's lives and then ask me to join you? are you insane? I'm going to lock you away for the rest of your life!" she exclaimed. Feuer simply smirked. "What other kind of person would have the guts to save the universe? none of these schmucks aside from me knows what's really going on and I'm only going to share the information with a privileged few. Now I'm asking you to simply hear me out and then decide for yourself whether or not you believe me.". "I'll hear you out, behind a holding cell where you belong" she said as she snapped her fingers. Just then Feuer was surrounded by six soldiers in combat suits. He hadn't ben paying attention. They were wearing the same uniform she had been wearing. Feuer scanned them all. He calculated that the probability of coming out of a skirmish with the men without injury at 77 percent. He liked those odds, But his purpose was to gather allies and he had found one he really wanted to get to know. So instead of fighting he let them take him prisoner.
