The hacker’s peers looked on in shock as Hiro seemed to slip by the cybernetic centaur, his blade merely glancing off of the battered metal plating with a dull ping. Nebula’s commander thrashed in throes of fury, turning on the spot to direct his rampage toward the visibly exhausted ronin. Centaur Man kicked at the dirt like an incensed bull, spitting a mouthful of oily pitch as his lip curled into a sneer. “Too we-”
Hiro grinned with self-satisfaction as his opponent’s words caught in its mechanized throat. A long, horizontal swath sprang open along the mythical machine’s flank, lifeblood gushing forth to spill unchecked upon the uneven ground. The air fell still as the armored fiend collapsed under its own weight, legs twitching for a moment before the corpse all at once collapsed into a pile of lifeless dust, the Dark Chip’s aura vanishing along with it.
For a long moment the group stood silent, stunned. Whether it was from exhaustion, surprise, the loss of Shinnah, or some combination, the air hung still.
“Search him,” the bounty hunter commanded. “Then we keep moving.”
There was no telling what lay ahead.
