(character name) = his thoughts
In the middle of a giant factory with Christmas decorations, a Christmas tree stood in its center, with a child at the bottom of it crying a lot, a bit far from it, a heavily bleeding soldier stands, a female pirate is by his side on the ground.
Soldier: WE NEED BACKUP
Pirate: There is no one else
Santa: HO HO HO
Pirate: We are dying to an evil Santa... that's tough
Someone appears in the distance, it looks like a... scientist. WITH A CLOUD ON IT'S HEAD?
Prof: ESON has fallen off pretty badly.
Soldier: who the fuck are you?
Prof: ...
Santa: HO HO HO. YOU'VE BEEN NAUGHTY LITTLE ONE
A mathematical equation appears in front of Prof
Vm/100??=Δt/Δd?
An explosive present appears behind Prof and he evades
Suddenly he appears in front of Santa.
He is 100 times faster than a regular human, as he speeds through the factory, he punches and kicks Santa, making him fall on the ground, after this he appears in front of the kid.
Prof: So, you're their client, isn't it?
Prof: Santa isn't even a real little one, your parents made you fear him, isn't it?
Kid: they told me that Santa didn't like me and would kidnap a naughty child like me
Prof: so that's how it is
Santa appears behind Prof, ready to punch him. If he dodges, the kid dies to the punch, so he takes the punch and flies through the factory and hits a wall, making him severely hurt
Prof: why kids are so creative these days...
A man with a soldier suit says
Soldier: Are y-you with us?
Soldier: And how are you into this kid's-
A present that is about to explode appears behind the soldier and then the female pirate gets up, hitting the soldier with a very long swordfish that sends him flying but also dodges the explosion.
Pirate: THERE IS NO TIME FOR DIALOGUE, JUST DO SOMETHING CLOUDY GUY
Prof: Cloudy... guy..?
Prof: well, I got distracted once, it will not happen again
Prof starts running around the factory then Santa sends a lot of explosive presents. The letter G appears on the ceiling and the presents and everyone stars fly to the ceiling
Santa and Prof start fighting as soon as they hit the ceiling, Santa can't land a single hit but is trying very hard to kill Prof
Another G appears, but this time in Santa's body, suddenly he feels heavy and can't walk or move, so he falls to the floor
Prof: That's it,
A g appears in Prof’s body with the number 100
And then he falls right into Santa's neck, killing him right there
Gravity stabilizes, making the Pirate and the Soldier fall
Pirate: FUCK ME
Soldier: NOT AGAIN
They fall and Prof is just standing there disappointed
Pirate summons a giant squid and points it at Prof
Pirate: what's with you? Punk
Prof: … I thought you guys were Professionals, not amateurs
Soldier and pirate: WE ARE-
Prof: So only 2 people came here to fight… the cognition… of a kid..?
soldier: but it's a kid
Prof: THAT'S EXACTLY THE REASON OF WHY YOU SHOULD COME IN A LARGE GROUP
Soldier and pirate: ???
Prof: I have no time for this
Everything starts glitching out and everyone starts running towards a glowing eye in the distance. They remove a headset and both are in a chic room at the top of a building with their clothes back to normal.

Fabricia: Man, we almost died
Joe: don't even tell me
A mother appears right next to them with a concerned expression
Mother: IS MY KID SAFE?
Joe: Yes she is, everything is okay with her
Mother: OH THANK GOD, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Fabricia: no problem, she is safe now
Fabricia gets close to the mother with a... weird intention
Fabricia: Call me later sweetheart, we can have some fun lat-
Joe then does an armlock on Fabricia that shuts her up
Joe: so lady, it was a pleasure serving you, contact us whenever you want
They proceed to leave and go to the elevator and the mother makes a gesture of saying goodbye. When they are in the elevator the mother says
Mother: she was kinda cute tho
They enter in a elevator made all of glass, which provides the most beautiful view that Neo Polis has to offer in the year 2125 at night, with gigantic buildings, holograms, a lot of flashy lights, a diversity of structures, delivery drones and as the elevator is reaching the floor they start to chat
Joe: so, who do you think he was?
Fabricia: I don't know, but he took care of Santa by himself... and scolded us...
Joe: yeah... it was tough
Fabricia: how did he have access to cyber cognition? I bet he wanted to steal our client
Joe: I doubt that, since he didn't show up in the real world and we still got the money, but his objective is rather unclear, we should talk to Aiko about this
Fabricia: I hate that girl, she thinks she is all mighty because she can grant us access to the cyber cognition and bla bla bla
Joe: she is a little stubborn sometimes but she is still a good teammate
Fabricia: you only think about this stuff you didn’t notice the mother’s brea-
Joe: I'm not a pervert like you
Fabricia: HEY, not cool-
The door opens and as soon as it opens they see a naked man, puking on the ground but they simply ignore them and keep walking, a shadow figure passes right behind them really fast
Joe: Did you hear that?
Fabricia:? No, it should be your imagination, cybercognition really messes up with our smart lens
Joe: yeah, I guess you're right
They walk until they reach a dirt street with a bus sign, far from the city, close to the road they see a base, all made of metallic materials, the roof is very rusty and the door has a fingerprint lock, Joe opens the door and finds himself in a technological area that is located in the center of what appears to be a living room, up ahead there is a kitchen, in the right area there is a staircase that leads to sets of rooms, in the left area there is a living room, with a table at the center an very old sofa, a tv and the bathroom.
Joe: we’re home
Aiko: Back so soon?
Joe: that's what we want to talk about with you, but only tomorrow, I'm tired
Aiko: yeah, you should get some rest, i bet Fabricia didn't do anything as usual
Fabricia: Sua TáBUA(your plain chest)
Aiko: What did you say?!
They keep insulting each other and screaming. Joe looks at them laughing silently, it seems that he sees this pretty frequently
Joe: I'm going to bed, we have another client tomorrow
Aiko and Fabricia: good night Joe
(Joe): I wonder who that guy was, does he also have a cybercognition hacker like Aiko? It's doubtful, our service is really unknown and those kinds of specialists aren't very popular either... So how did he get in…
The POV changes, showing a man with his body covered in dark clothes resting in an empty trash can in a back alley when all of sudden some punks start to kick the trash can
Homeless man: hey, can you stop that? I'm trying to sleep here yk
They continue kicking the trash can
Homeless man: my mother told me that I should only use my fists to protect someone or myself...
Then he proceeds to appear behind one of the punks and punch him right in the face, it's so strong that the punch passes right through his skull, making his eyeballs and brain fly all over the place, this scares the other punks
Punk 2: MONSTER MONSTER
The punks decide to run away
Homeless man: I didn't mean to go so hard on them, man... my "bed" is all covered in blood, I should get a space to sleep already, I'm tired.
His arm starts to shake, he tries to control it but he’s not capable of it.
Homeless men: It seems like I'm still not able to control my body perfectly…
He hears sirens and sounds of cars approaching
Homeless man: shit
He runs away far from the city until he sees a base, The door is unlocked, so he steps in
He sees a girl sleeping on a futon and proceeds to try not to wake her up, goes upstairs, and finds himself in an empty room, he enters and sleeps there
A few hours pass by and Joe wakes up
Joe goes downstairs and sees Aiko really concerned looking at the monitor located in the middle of the base
Joe: hey good mor-
Aiko: SHHH he can hear us
Joe: who?
Aiko: last night a guy walked here because the door was open
Joe: Oh shit I forgot to lock the door with my fingerprint, guess I'm getting old
Aiko: dumbass
Joe: He went to the... no... it can't be...
Joe looks at the recording and sees the man with a cloudy... head. Walking into the room of an old friend of him
Joe: No... he's dead, it can't be him, I saw him dying right in front of my eyes, could Prof be…
Aiko: “Prof”?
They proceed to go into the room, as they open the door they see a man with a cloudy face snoring
Fabricia appears behind them screaming: GOOOOOD MOOOORNIIING!!!
The cloudy man wakes up. He sees a very tall man looking at him, he has a beard and an elegant mustache, is very muscular, and is in his 50s. By his side there is a very small woman something around 4’11, with hair and eyes that resemble the cosmos, she is wearing the pajama of a rock band, seemingly in her 20s, even though she has a body similar to a child, behind this girl there is a very tall woman, something around 6’0, with dark skin and a strong accent, she has a very muscular body apparently on her 20's, she is using a pink bunny pajamas
Cloudy man: WHER- oh, I remember
Cloudy man looks at the door and sees everyone staring at him
Cloudy man: sorry to be an issue for you guys, I'm leaving
Joe: ... JOHN, IS THAT YOU? YOU ARE THE GUY THAT APPEARED IN THE CC?
Cloudy man: Oh, this voice….You're that soldier guy, isn't it? What a coincidence, but no, my name is not John, it's…
Joe: …?
Cloudy man: weird... I can't remember
Cloudy: you can call me Prof for now, but I'm definitely not the man you are looking for, I don't remember any of you
Fabricia: OI OI, IT'S THE CLOUDY GUY
Prof: my name is pr-
Fabricia approaches Prof slapping his back like a lifetime friend
Joe: stop that Fabricia
Aiko: WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING, CARE TO EXPLAIN?
Prof: Sheesh
Now they are all in the living room eating breakfast
At the table there is some really good food compared to the building they live in, they all strange the fact that Prof is eating with a glove and has his body covered up in dark clothes
Aiko: so... where are you from, and more importantly... WHY THERE IS A CLOUD IN YOUR FACE
Prof: I don't remember exactly where I'm from, but I remember my parents and some memories of my childhood, the reason for this cloud I think it's related to the smart lens
Joe: Smart lens?
(Smart lens in this world is basically a cellphone but as a lens, it can make video calls, access your bank account, calculator, form digital images, etc)
Prof: yeah, it's probably some kind of bug that makes this cloud appear instead of my head, in other words, someone who doesn't use the smart lens, can see my real face
Joe: I see... so why did you come here and how do you have access to the CC
Prof: Well, I'm here by pure coincidence and I’m able to enter the CC just by using my brain... somehow... I'm not sure how I can do this but I simply can and feels natural to me
Fabricia: Que téééééééédiooooo (soooo boriinnng)
Prof: Entendo, você fala português? (I see, you speak portuguese?)
Fabricia: AYO WHAT? YOU SPEAK PORTUGUESE!
Prof: I... think so?
Fabricia: THAT'S SO COOL, YOU'RE ALREADY MY FRIEND
Prof: thanks I guess
Prof: but I came here with an objective
Prof gets out of the chair and does a pose that looks like a soldier
Prof: I want to be part of the Extermination Society Of Nightmares(ESON)
Everyone: WAIT WHAT?
Prof: I'll be honest, I'm not doing this because I'm a hero or due to some honorable cause. I just want to find my parents, whom I lost a long time ago
Everyone stays silent for a few seconds
Joe: ... you've proven yourself extremely strong and capable, also seem to know a lot of the CC…
Aiko: YOU ARE CONSIDERING? HE'S LIKE THE MOST SUSPICIOUS PERSON I'VE EVER MET
Joe: yes but his abilities are unique, well, let's vote
Everyone votes on the addition of Prof except Aiko
Joe: Welcome aboard
Fabricia: WE SHOULD CELEBRATE, LET’S EAT
She says this while eating at such a speed that even “ the fastest thing alive” would be jealous
Aiko: This is not gonna end well…
Joe and Fabricia chit-chat for some time… something about a man with blue eyes and a purple sphere..? Aiko is staring at Prof from the other side of the table. Prof then looks at the window in the living room
Prof: weird, there are no trees, where are the trees in this city
Aiko: trees? That doesn't exist around here pal, at least not real ones, only artificial ones
Prof: where I came from there are lots of real trees
Everyone: ...
Prof: why is everyone staring at me...
