What's next?
Arasaka Showdown.
A day in Night City passed and Ethan was on top of a building that was right across from Arasaka tower, wearing his normal outfit of a white shirt, his vibranium jacket, jeans, but missing his shoes and was wearing something underneath, he had the Spider-Man mask in his hand.
"... You sure that chip is here?" Ethan asked frowning.
"Positive, it's in the CEOs office so it'll be hard to reach." Cortana explained from his ear piece.
Ethan texted Beca, he was in position and to wait for the signal.
Putting the Spider-Man mask over his head, he cracked his neck. "Start the Clean Up Protocol." Ethan said as he crouched.
The UI in his mask showed that there were alarms going off inside of the building.
But he needed to wait until every worker was out.
It took 30 minutes but it was done, all that was left, was the grunts.
"Showtime." Ethan whispered as he jumped off the building and free fall for a bit, before swinging towards the tower.
He made it to a window and stuck to it using his chakra, he knocked on the window and then punched.
The glass shattered letting him inside.
"Okay... Where am I?" Ethan asked as he looked around the hallway.
"25th floor." Cortana responded. "The office is on the 140th."
"... Great... Ethan sighed as he walked down the hall and placed a small contianer on the floor, small robotic spiders emerged and skittered away.
"Let's go before, I miss anything, make sure that you download the whole database into our private server." Ethan informed Cortana as he ran down the hall.
Ethan had expected resistance... But this was just sad...
He dodged bullets and took down the guards easily, even doing it in front of a camera for good measure.
"If you want me dead, your gonna have to send in the big guns." Ethan taunted as he ran to the elevator.
Which they disabled but he didn't worry, he could climb the shafts.
"How's Beca and her group doing?" Ethan asked as he climbed.
"Doing pretty well, they destroyed one of the facilities and are working on the rest.
"Good." Ethan opened the elevator doors once he reached a dead end and leapt out. "Let's see if I can piss off some more people... What floor am I in now?" Ethan asked as he noticed that he was in a jungle.
"You are on the... 76th floor." Cortana responded then said. "I am getting messages from another A.I. in cyberspace.
Alt... Ethan knew that she would come poking her head out, well he'll be getting her boyfriend out of that hellhole soon.
Ethan jumped back as someone tried to smash him.
Ethan looked up and saw Adam Smasher standing there with a heavy rifle in hand.
"So, your Adam Smasher, nice to meet you." Ethan greeted, he saw that Cortana had started to stream this live. Showtime.
"Who the fuck are you?" Adam asked, fuck he sounds scarier in person.
"Oh just a person wanting to do some good." Ethan raised his hands. "Now, here's what's gonna happen, you'll let me pass and nothing bad will happen."
Adam aimed his rifle at Ethan. "You're delusional if you think that'll work."
Ethan smirked under his mask.
"Was hoping for you to not take that option." Ethan shot towards the cyborg and kicked him away. "Cortana, how's the download?" Ethan asked.
"Bad news, we need to get to the office so I can have unlimited access." Cortana explained.
"Nothing is easy isn't it." Ethan dodged some gunfire from Adam and pulled out two heavy pistols and started firing.
Adam tanked all the hit and kept firing, Ethan jumped behind cover and threw the empty guns away. "Well, time to go old school."
Ethan jumped out and started to shoot webs, Adam raised his arms but paused when he noticed that Ethan wasn't firing bullets, just webs.
"I wonder if the CEO is up there, probably not because of my whole break in but one can hope." Ethan spoke as Adam ripped through the webs and ran at him at high speeds.
Ethan jumped over Adam and shot a webline at Adam and pulled hard, sending him flying into the wall.
"Alright... What about Alt?" Ethan asked.
"She's silent, the team is almost done." Cortana responded.
"Did Beca finish her assignment?" Ethan asked.
"She did, thankfully they had one that was close."
"Good one part of the plan is in place no-" Ethan was cut off as he noticed a grenade flying rolling right by his feet.
Adam watched as the grenade exploded as he got up and walked over to see if the man was dead.
He was surprised when Ethan was had managed to jump back right as the explosion went off but his shirt and jeans were torn.
"Damn, at least my suit protected me." Ethan ripped the white shirt and jeans off, showing the integrated suit he was wearing, his jacket was still intact as it was made from a strong material.
"Best investment I made." Ethan commented and raised his arms. "Come on! I'm still standing!"
Adam rushed towards Ethan.
"Okay... Come on!" Ethan focused and two blue chakra arms appeared on his back and grabbed Adam Smasher.
Adam grunted as he was being crush by the grip.
Ethan threw him aside and the arms flickered out of existence. "Damn... Need more practice." Ethan flexed his hands.
Adam got up and rushed Ethan once again.
Ethan dodged and delivered a kick into his ribs, Adam doubled over, this guy was strong.
Creating a chakra arm, forming it into a fist, he sent Adam flying.
"Sir your not proficient enough with those extensions yet!"
"I'm aware." Ethan grumbled and jumped away as Adam had gotten his hands on a gun and started firing.
"Come on..." Ethan grumbled as he shot webs at Adam, but he ripped right through them.
"Fucking hell." Ethan shot a webline and swung away. "Follow me you cyborg..."
Adam did follow, just as he planned!
Ethan stopped and held out his palm.
Adam walked through the jungle, looking for his target, he looked up at the trees and shot a few bullets to try and scare him out.
Adam stopped as he heard a unfamiliar sound, he turned and was met with the target thrusting a blue spiraling orb in his palm into Adam's chest, it ripped the metal apart.
"Rasengan!" Ethan exclaimed with glee in his voice.
Adam was sent flying back, his back hit the tree and he slumped, his chest was ripped open showing the wiring.
Ethan grabbed the rifle and walked over. "A man turned into a machine, may you find peace." Ethan shot the rifle. "Down Among the dead." Ethan walked away.
