[color=C40234]"They were fast."[/color]

Nancy glanced at the television, and watched the news report on her brawl with the 70th Street thug. Toro, apparently had been her name, which all too fitting for their engagement. A red robot versus a bull—a true [i]corrida de toros[/i].

[color=c40234]"Next time, I'm blasting her from the start."[/color]

Pulling a screwdriver from her belt, Nancy aligned the tool with one of the many screws that held Zero-Zero's armor plating together. Yet as she prepared to remove the plating to access the servo and wiring protected beneath, Nancy paused her repairs, having overheard commotion from the floor below. Someone, or [i]something[/i] had been breaking into the complex.

It wasn't an unusual thing. Though the place was largely abandoned, there had been a time here and there when she had to scare off a few unexpected guests. Teenagers, stupid enough to break in to drink a few beers or "hang out" in private. Still, the thought crossed her mind. What if it wasn't the usual rabble? What if she had been trailed by the 70th? Not wanting to take any chances, Nancy put her tools down and climbed back into Zero-Zero. Flicking a few buttons, Nancy ejected a small, arrow-shaped drone from the exosuit, and ordered it to hover downwards to investigate the situation.

And as she feared, criminals had broken into her domain. However, they weren't the thugs she was expecting. The expensive suits, the mannerisms—they had belonged to the Delgato criminal syndicate. The very bastards that destroyed her life. The villains that slaughtered her father. And now they wanted to claim her home to further their criminal enterprise?

She wasn't going to let that happen. She wasn't going to let them hurt her, or anyone, anymore.

[color=C40234]"Surprise!"[/color] Nancy announced, having made her way to the stairs to meet the Delgato head-on. The pulse blasters began to heat up and locked onto their target, unleashing a vibrant beam down the steps. [color=c40234]"And goodbye."[/color][/indent]
