Hand of the Empire
#4
The glass doors of the elevator slid open silently. Cyborg stepped out of the elevator onto tier four and began to make his way down the crowded street. There was a noticeable difference between tier four and tier one, although still a decent place to live, the feeling was definitely less inviting down here. Cyborg could feel the familiar feeling of being watched as he walked through the streets of tier four, however not because of his robotic nature but because of  good nature. The lowly criminals of tier four could some how sniff out that the metal man was not one of them. A few men ducked into a near by alley, out of sight from the up and coming EPD member. Cyborg merely chuckled at the men's needless fear. Today he wouldn't be worried by their petty crimes, he had a much larger target in mind, this 'Terminator' whoever he was needed to be stopped. For the sake of the safety of EPD and the citizens they promised to attack.

Cyborg made his way to a local bar, the neon blue sign illuminated the ground in front of it. A large alien drinking some sort of alcohol displayed itself prominently. He could hear the rowdy sounds that occupied a place of drinking. The doors burst open as a man was thrown out of the bar, hitting the pavement hard as he crumpled. 

"That's what cheats like you get you dog. Now scram!" Yelled a large man who Cyborg assumed was some sort of bouncer. The man turned and entered the building, muffling the noise as the door shut behind him. The man slowly rose to his feet before hobbling off. The loud blast of music and rowdy customers exploded from the bar  as Cyborg opened the door. Just as quickly as the noise was heard, it became eerily quite as he entered. Thugs of all different sizes and shapes glared at him. He stood in the door way for a moment before walking over to the bar and sitting down at an empty stool. The music and the rowdy noise started once more.

"What'll ya have?" The mostly toothless bar keep barked. 

"Uhh whatever is fine. Surprise me" Cyborg said. He wasn't much of a drinker and didn't waltz in to bars very often either. But given the local crowd if Cyborg was going to find out anything on the wanted prime, it would be here. The bar tender placed a dirty mug filled with amber liquid onto the bar before turning back to his other duties. Cyborg looked at the drink slightly disgusted before picking the drink up and sipping it. He grimaced at the fowl taste of the beverage. A man sitting next to Cyborg chuckled as he watched him take another sip, grimacing again but less harshly this time. 

"What's the matter boy? Can't handle your liquor? What's a kid like you doin' down here anyway. Pegged you for a tier one dweller" he said picking up his own glass before chugging the entirety of it. Cyborg smiled politely.

" Yea, don't drink much honestly. I'm down here looking for someone or information"  He said pushing the drink away from him.

"Oh yea? Who?"

"All I know is an alias he uses. Terminator?"  

The man choked on his newly placed drink, wiping the liquid from his face. He looked at Cyborg and chuckled nervously.

"You don't find him boy, HE finds YOU. And when he does...." He said dragging his finger across his throat. "If I were you boy, I'd marched  your shiny ass back up to tier one and forget you ever asked that. Speakin' about him ain't safe. Got ears every where." He said, looking around behind him nervously. 

"Well I can't do that. I've got to find this Terminator, he's wanted and needs to be stopped." 

The man sighed, closing his eyes in dismay. 

"Now you've done it kid..." He muttered. 

A few men who had been listening in on there conversation stood and made there way to the bar. They began pulling out hidden weapons. Brass knuckles, knife, some sort of electrified baton. The leader of the group of thugs pulled a blaster out and leveled the gun at Cyborg.  He smirked as he had already began the transformation of his hand. It grew in size  and stiffened into a large gauntlet. Kicking the stool back into the first thug, Cyborg swung around, smashing the large fist into him. It connected with the side of his face, sending the goon sailing into a nearby table. The sudden attack surprised the men who stopped shocked for a moment. This moment was enough for Cyborg to close the gap and bring his gauntlet upwards connecting with a sickening upper cut to the next thug, who flew into another standing behind him. 

Taking advantage of the pause, Cyborg transformed his his fist into the blaster. The gears and metal shifted perfectly, forming his second weapon of choice. A light ball of life energy fired from the end, hitting his next opponent square in the chest.  The man yelped as he crumpled to the floor. 

Cyborg walked slowly towards the leader who was visibly shaken from what he had witnessed. 

"I'm guessing you know where I can find Terminator?" Cyborg said pointing his weapon at the leader. The man gulped before dropping his weapon.

"H-he is on tier f-f-ive right now. Large run down warehouse, you can't miss it. Please don't kill me" the leader said placing his hand together as he plead for his life.

"Don't worry, I'm not a killer unlike your boss. No the EPD will deal with you." Still pointing his weapon at the man, Cyborg brought his hand to his ear.

"Sergeant? I've got five gang bangers incapacitated in a bar on tier four need a squad to come pick them. I know where Terminator is."

"Damn kid you're quick! I'll send some boys down to pick the scum up as soon as I can, just hang tight." The sergeant's voice replied into his ear. 

"Now we wait, thanks for your cooperation. You're under arrest" Cyborg said with a sly grin.
