LAIRA AND CYBORG

"Who... What are you?" 

Laira summoned two energy swords and flew a few inches above the ground, taking her fighting stance. However, from what I can see, her energy is flickering, as if she is running out of juice.

So, this robot must also be after this box. 

Interesting.

Now, I am curious to know the content inside this box. It must be very precious. Now that those two are confronting each other...

'Q&Q Multiply 2x' I quickly covered the second box with my red aura to prevent detection and threw it under the seat.

This box must have a tracker or something that allowed them to detect it. Since I don't have time to examine it thoroughly, the best thing I can do is mask its presence with my undetectable aura and hope it remains hidden. Later I can use Q&Q again to gain its info and destroy the tracker. 

If I am lucky, I might just be able to see what's inside with the awakened form of Q&Q.

Let's see what happens now...

"You must be Laira, Hal mentioned," said the robot boy. 

"Who are you? How do you know Hal Jordan?" said the purple girl.

Why the hell is that round red crystal on his head shining? 

Huh?!

It seems my weapon master ability is at play again. Information about the robot's weapons kept flowing into my brain like a flood. 

Plasma cannon, rocket launcher, extra cybernetics arms, self-healing modules, super speed, reflexes, technopathy, flight, white noise cannon...

His entire body is nothing but a giant arsenal of weapons made of Depleted Promethium, a near-invulnerable metal.  

Just how many weapons this guy has under his belt? 

A red dot appeared on my chest. It's the plasma cannon!

Why the hell is he aiming it at me? This gur smells trouble.

I haven't seen him before. 

A villain?!

Possibly...

Well, invulnerable or not, I can hold him off for 5 minutes, and once Q&Q's cooldown is over, I will turn this piece of fine metal into a lump of scrap metal. Moreover, given his power and defenses, he is the perfect dummy for my practice.

With my powers, there is no need to hide anymore. I am confident that I can take both of them down. How dare this bastard point weapon at me?

"Hey, robot, I will give you 5 seconds to turn off your laser cannon," I said, pointing my finger at the red target dot on my chest, "Or else, I will rip you in half, right from the middle."

The robo boy shifted his attention toward me.

"Alex Wilson, age 19, status: error. Information blockage detected. Accessing family directories..." The robo boy mumbled, looking at my face.

Family directories! This fucking bastard.

I released the red aura and focused it on my legs. The red aura is crackling around my body like arks of lightning. I can hear the humming sound coming from the energy around me. Well, this is new. Everything seems to stand still. The robot is slowly lifting his hand. 

So, this is his super speed and reflexes. But, sadly, at this level, he won't be able to react against my speed. But, just to be sure... 

I put the box on my car's hood. Then, I covered my entire body with my aura evenly. It's like a never-ending dam. It's pouring in limitlessly, following my thoughts. 

*Shadow Dasher* 

I took a step forward. With a zoom, I appeared before him. This is faster than when I was dodging Harley's bullets. Anyway, let's focus on the matter at hand.

*Immense Strength*

There is a small gap in the metallic armor on his chest. It's like his ribs or exoskeleton. Well, it's time to pay the price for. I plunged my hands into that gap and ripped apart the metal chunks from his chest. 

I can see some complex machines inside his chest. And a red light is blinking inside it.

Then, I dashed on his back and ripped apart the metal armor. This fucker is like a spider. Six extra hands! You don't need six hands. Why don't you donate some to disabled people? You greedy bastard... 

[Crackkle!] 

I ripped them apart one after another.

Invurnable metal, my ass. His body is as if it's made of paper. 

"Tell me, robo boy, since you are made of metal," I said as I summoned void flames on my right fist, "Do you burn?" 

I touched his head. 

[Booom!] 

A flash of white light threw me back. I almost crashed into my precious car. Ah! Crap! My ears are ringing. My vision is blurry. I can't maintain my balance... 

I fell to my knees.

Stun grenade!

*Immunity*

However, it only lasted for a few seconds. I shook my head and stood up. Instantly, with a sizzling sound, appeared a yellow beam, striking my chest.

*Energy absorption* "Do you really think your cheap weapons will have any effects on me?" I said while cracking my neck. It's too stiff. I will do some jogging in the morning. Anyway, this energy absorption skill is awesome. I can feel my depleted energy increasing rapidly.

But it only lasted less than 10 seconds. The robo boy decided to stop attacking. I can see a panicked expression on his face. He ripped off the metallic part on his head to escape my void flames. 

"What are..." The robo boy seems to be struggling. He can barely move his body, but surprisingly, the pieces I tore apart from his body seem to be moving toward him and repairing his body.

His left arm transformed into a weird-looking weapon with a blue glow.

"Time to die, robo boy," I summoned a ball of void flames on my fist.

Zing!

A green shield appeared around him and me.

"Enough!" yelled Laira.

"Enough?"

"This freaking box fell from the sky on my face. Then you popped up asking for it, and now this robo boy popped up. I was about to leave this box here, but this robo boy pointed his weapon at me and even tried to investigate my family..."

"And you say, enough!!!"

I yelled angrily, releasing a wave of void energy. The flame in my fist began to glow brighter, and the shield around me shattered like glass.

"It's a misunderstanding. My defense mechanisms activate automatically upon detecting a threat or hostility. I apologize," said the robo boy.

"I see," I blinked before him.

I punched him hard, put him on the ground, and stomped his head into the ground.

"Oh, my. I apologize. My defense mechanisms activate automatically upon detecting threat or hostility toward my family or me." I scoffed.

Then, I blinked in front of my car, took the box, and threw it toward Laira. She caught it, but at the same time, the green energy in her body ran out, and she stumbled forward with her eyes closed.

Ah, crap! 

I blinked and caught her. Humm. She seems exhausted. I can't leave her here alone. So, I took her to my car and laid her in the back seat.

Then, I went to the robo boy.

"How long are you going to pretend to be dead?" I said.

It took a couple of minutes for him to self-repair.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Victor. You probably know me as Cyborg from Justice League," replied the robo boy.

"I know who Cyborg is, but you ain't him. He is super strong, and his body is different from yours. I will rip your head out if you lie to me again," I replied.

Hahaha. This fucker tin can think he is the famous Cyborg. 

Huh?

In a blink of an eye, his body transformed. He looks shiny and glossy, and he also has that faceless metal mask with a single red light on his face. Freaking hell! He is the Cyborg, and I almost squashed him... Well, I did squash him like a bug...

He is freaking weak!

"Ah! I am sorry for smashing you up, but how are you this weak?" I inquired.

"Never mind that. That box is a ticking time bomb, and we must get it out of the earth," said the Cyborg.

"Here, take it, and never bother me again. And I will take care of your lady friend till she recovers. Goodbye and just a warning, don't try to snoop around my family or me. Because next time, I will really kill you..." 

I left after that, and Cyborg flew off after apologizing for one last time. He wanted to take Laira with him, but as I summoned a fistful of void flames, he quickly agreed and told me to take care of her and that he will send someone to pick her up in the morning.

Haaa... What a mess...

I try to avoid troubles, but troubles always find me. I looked at Laira's face. Humm... Her breathing is normal, blood pressure is normal... Organs are in excellent condition... no brain damage or anything... 

She is fine, so why is she pretending to be asleep?

"Get up. I know you are awake," I said as I started the engine.
